Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 723

Shiluo, a small Turkic tribe, according to Su Lie's information, this tribe was stationed in the remaining veins of the Tianshan Mountains in the north of Gaochang.

"This Qu Wenhe, united with Shi Luo, is this preparing to rebel?" Su Lie suddenly felt happy when he thought about it.

He knew that the Western Turks were fighting among themselves, and it was impossible to spare time to deal with the small country of Gaochang at this time.Then, if Shi Luobu and Qu Wenhe have a connection, it is likely that Shi Luobu is making his own claim.

"It seems that we have to go and meet for a while."

With one thought in mind, Su Lie ordered five hundred fine horsemen and rode away, heading straight for Shi Luo's camp.

The prairie tribes do not have a fixed location. Wherever the water and grass are luxuriant, it is convenient to station. This time, the place where the Luo tribe is stationed is called Calabash Mountain by the locals, and because the mountain peak looks like a gourd, it is called Calabash Mountain.

However, in Su Lie's opinion, calling Calabash Mountain is inappropriate, it should be called Jianshan Mountain.The mountain is steep and straight into the sky, and it is not called Jianshan, but it is called Calabash Mountain, which shows the shallowness of people in the Western Regions.

Under the Calabash Mountain, there are one or three shallow plains with lush water and grass. Cattle, sheep and horses are drawing water and grazing by the river. At first glance, it looks quite peaceful.

When Su Lie arrived, Shi Luo's soldiers and horses found out, and immediately rode forward to stop him.

"Who are you?" Luo Bingjun asked when he was the leader.

"General Tang, Su Lie."

"General Tang?" Shi Luo's soldiers were surprised, and immediately said: "You wait a moment, I will report to the patriarch."

After saying that, he rode his horse back.

Not long after, Shiluo patriarch Diezhi arrived.

He was also quite surprised to learn that the person who came was from Tang, but it was not too surprising.After all, Yiwu was destroyed, so it is not surprising that Tang Jun appeared here.

"May I ask what General Su is here for?" Die Zhi had a rough face and spoke in a low voice.

Su Lie laughed, and said: "I heard that the Luo soldiers were excellent at riding and shooting, but now my subordinate Erlang is quite dissatisfied when he hears about it, if he wants to teach him how to compete, would the Diezhi patriarch want to compete?"

Hearing this, he frowned.

He looked at Tang Jun in plate armor behind Su Lie, and his heart beat.He has also heard of such elites.After all, the Eastern Turks were destroyed by them in the past.

"I have heard about Tang Qi Wushuang, and my descendants want to see it too!"

Losing is not losing, even if he knows that the opponent is an elite, even if he understands that the opponent's coming here may not be so simple, but since the opponent is provocative, he cannot back down.

"Cheer up!" Su Lie laughed loudly.

woohoo woohoo!
The horn sounded, Tang Qi and Shi Luo Qi lined up, the two sides were ready to go, and the momentum had reached its peak.

Outside the arena, Su Lie and Diezhi rode side by side.

"This time, if I win, the Diezhi patriarch only needs to answer one question for me."

"Then what if you lose?" Die Zhi asked unconvinced.

Su Lie never thought that he would lose, but since he asked the question, he would naturally give the other party a satisfactory answer.

"If you win, in the last three days of each month, Ben will open a mutual market in Illinois, and only trade goods with you."

Die Zhi's eyes lit up, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Commodities from the Tang Dynasty were extremely expensive in the Western Regions. If he could get this opportunity, he might not be able to make a fortune.

"A word is settled!"

With an order, the cavalry of both sides confronted.

This time it is just for comparison, not for killing, both sides only use wooden sticks as weapons, as long as one side has no strength to fight anymore, it will be the winner.

Tang Qi was all brave and good at fighting, but in a short while, he beat Shi Luo's cavalry to the ground, and his fighting power was so strong that Die Zhi felt afraid.

"It seems that I won." Su Lie said.

Diezhi's face was not good-looking. Although it was not a battle of life and death, he was beaten by Tang Qi at the door of the house, and his face still couldn't bear it.

"What do you want to know?" Diezhi asked.

Su Lie said: "A few days ago, Qu Wenhe acted strangely, trying to harm my Tang Dynasty. I found out that you and Qu Wenhe had been in contact. Do you know about this?"

Diezhi's heart skipped a beat, he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not what you think, Qu Wenhe and I are not targeting your country."

"Then who are you targeting?" Su Lie asked casually.

"Of course." Die Zhi shut up, and glanced at Su Lie resentfully, "This is the second question."

"Hahaha." Su Lie smiled, he had already got the answer, this Qu Wenhe was really planning to plot a rebellion.

"That's all." Su Lie waved his hand, "I don't care what deal you have with Qu Wenhe, but I want you to remember that if you dare to make up my mind, you have to prepare the coffin."

The corner of Die Zhi's mouth twitched, he was not an idiot, he dared to offend Tang Chao.

"Don't worry, General Su, it will never be like this."

"That's good, goodbye."

Come fast, go fast.

Diezhi watched Tang Qi go away, exhaled slightly, and suddenly became a little tangled in his heart, whether he should help Qu Wenhe or not.

Judging from the current situation, the people of Tang probably also knew of Qu Wenhe's plan.If they intervene, it will be very difficult for Qu Wenhe to succeed.

After thinking about it, he still decided to take the benefits from Qu Wenhe first.

Gaochang, Wangcheng.

"My lord, don't let the Tang army stay in the country for a long time, otherwise the subjects' minds will be unstable and it will be difficult to stabilize people's hearts." Qu Wenhe persuaded.

Zhang Xiong closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

In his view, the Tang army has already entered the city, and it is tantamount to dreaming to expel them again.Yiwu will be destroyed as soon as he says it will be destroyed, so how can Gaochang be the opponent of the Tang army.

Qu Wentai said: "It doesn't have to be like this. This king and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty have made a statement first. The Tang army will not increase its troops after that, just to protect our country."

"Our country has its own generals and strong soldiers, so why do we need the protection of the Tang people." Qu Wenhe said: "Before when Yiwu invaded, our country needed the protection of the Tang people. I don't deny it. But now, the Tang army has destroyed the Yiwu country, and our country is no longer a threat. The protection of the Tang army is no longer needed. Keeping them in the country will cost a lot of food and fodder. Moreover, the Tang emperor's ambition is known to all. If the Tang army is left behind, the Tang emperor wants to take our land in the future. anti?"

Hearing this, Qu Wentai hesitated a little, but he was right, Tang Emperor was destroying foreign countries everywhere, if one day he was eyeing him, then Su Lie's existence would undoubtedly be very dangerous.

"What do you think?" Qu Wentai asked.

Qu Wen congratulated: "It's okay, let Su Lie leave our country as a gift."

"But if this is the case, how will I explain to Emperor Tang?" Qu Wentai said helplessly: "In the past, I was the king who asked the Tang army to come, but now that Yiwu country is destroyed, this king wants to expel the Tang army, so I can't ask Tang. God tell me."

To be honest, he didn't dare to offend the young Emperor Tang.

Qu Wen congratulated: "Your Majesty can send envoys to Chang'an to Chen Qing himself, and attach gold, silver and jade wares."

"This, is it okay?" Qu Wentai expressed doubts, he didn't think that Emperor Tang lacked the little things he paid tribute to.

Qu Wenhe was speechless, neither this nor that, what do you want!
"Your Majesty."

"Okay, don't talk about it." Qu Wentai waved his hand, "Let's discuss this matter in the long run."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Seeing this, Qu Wenhe let out a long sigh, his eyes flashed scarlet.

I can't persuade you anymore, right?

It is inevitable that the ancestral foundation will be taken away by others, so I must protect it!
Looking at Qu Wenhe's unwilling face, Zhang Xiong felt bad.Although he didn't know why Qu Wenhe had to drive away the Tang army, he was very clear about one thing, he must obey the Tang Dynasty rather than offend the Tang Dynasty.

So, he went to Qu Wenhe's side, and persuaded him: "The future will last forever, and one day we will be able to invite Tang Jun to leave, so there is no need to rush."

"What do you mean there is no need to be in a hurry." Qu Wenhe snorted: "The Tang Emperor is greedy, and he must not leave the danger of the Tang army in the country. It's not that I think too much, but the fact is so. The general is the king's confidant, so I should persuade him a little bit more. .”

After saying that, Qu Wenhe turned around and left.

Sighing slightly, Zhang Xiong didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
