Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 665
Chapter 78 Sharpening the Knife at the Ten Thousand Springs
What is power?Power is the poison that makes people lose morality and benevolence. Power makes people lose kindness and kindness, and bases their own happiness on the pain of others.

In Yu Guni's eyes, he has long forgotten his painful and desperate life experience, and he regards power as a distorted belief.He thinks that he is a high-ranking king, a king who can take the lives of countless people.The clansman of the Dangxiang Department that Xifeng Minda relies on mistakenly regards himself as Yu Guni's benefactor, and mistakenly thinks that he can tell him what to do, so he is in a tragedy.

Yu Guni did not kill Xifeng Minda, nor did he hand him over to Chen Ying or Chen Ying's subordinates, but through the hands of Zhang Shigui and Duan Zhigan, more than a thousand clansmen under Xifeng Minda's command, Clean it all up.Today's Xifeng Minda has become a real loner.

After learning that more than a thousand people from the human race were captured by Chen Ying's men, Xifeng Minda looked at Yu Guni in disbelief: "People can be shameless, I never thought they could be so shameless like you."

Yu Guni did not seal the anger that Minda imagined, and even Yu Guni's face did not show any emotional fluctuations.Yu Guni said: "In the land of thousands of miles around Helan Mountain, I was originally the master here, so I can do whatever I want..."

Before Yu Guni finished speaking, Xifeng Minda roared: "What are you proud of? You shamelessly say that you are the king, but in fact you are just a dog of Chen Ying, and a dog is a dog, even if it is just grinning at the lord. , is not the same as being castrated, now you are a castrated dog!"

"You're right. You taught me this too. As a dog, you must have the awareness to be a dog!" Yu Guni's eyes became a little deep: "But in this world, who is not a dog? You say Noble Yehu Khan? They are just a dog of the Khan. Is the Khan really supreme? Actually, not necessarily, just like now, Jieli Khan has 30 elite string control people. Does he dare to leave Dingxiang? He dare not, does he dare to provoke Datang? He also dare not. In the eyes of others, he is a high-ranking Turkic Khan, but in fact he is also a dog. Everyone is a dog, so don’t say it what!"

Xifeng Minda looked at Yu Guni and said, "Kill me!"

"No...no!" Yu Guni laughed and said, "I won't kill you, but I will definitely let you be my witness, witnessing my rise from humble beginnings. I want to become the most noble king in the world. Wait. See, this king will never let you down."

……

Duan Zhigan said worriedly at the Tang army camp in Yezhuling: "General Chen led the Modao Army, Xiaocai Army, Zhaowu Ninth Division, and other tribes to march westward, with a total of nearly seventy thousand troops. When Ye Hu Khan fled, there were only a thousand men, so would it be necessary to use so many troops to pursue him?"

"I think, General Chen is definitely not just chasing Tong Yehu, but to take Qianquan (today's Tashkent, Uzbekistan) to avenge Tong Yehu's bullying of Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Shigui said with a smile: "Chen The great general's ambition is beyond your imagination."

Duan Zhigan was stunned and said: "This... this is too reckless. Although General Chen led more than 2 troops, it seemed that the army was strong, but in fact only [-] were our own. The [-] troops , Basically, all the tribes surrendered, not my race, their hearts must be different, if it is General Chen... the consequences will be unimaginable! General Chen did not wait for our more than [-] troops to arrive, which is really worrying."

"A matter of great importance to military strategists, the truth is false, and the falsehood is true. This time the Western Expedition was so loud. In fact, it was mostly thunder. The raindrops mainly rely on the momentum to collect the results, and they will not fight tough battles." Zhang Shigui laughed and said: " The 20 army of Tong Yehu is gone. This news will spread throughout the Western Regions within three months. Since there is no tough battle, what's the use of you going? Take the tribal city with prestige, but the credit is destined to go to Chen General, how do you snatch it? But if we manage the Northeast Road, there will be a great achievement waiting for us!"

"What great contribution?" Duan Zhigan asked hastily.

Zhang Shigui said: "At the beginning, General Chen left you and me in Lingzhou. Now the situation in Lingzhou is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, but inside Lingzhou, the people have returned to their hearts. If we talk about the external situation, it is very complicated. We now have 29 The strength of Zhechong Mansion, the Yue Cavalry Army alone has as many as 29 Yue Cavalry regiments, and now Jieli Khan must also know that General Chen led the elite of the Tang Dynasty to deal with Tong Yehu Khan, there is no such thing as General Chen, the Eastern Turkic A strong enemy, in the near future, he will definitely make big moves. Whether it is to send troops to attack Taiyuan or Lingzhou, our new army of 30 Hebei natives can be put to great use. As long as Jieli Khan's [-] troops leave Dingzhou Xiang, let's take the back road and take Dingxiang first, so that Jieli Khan can't return!"

Duan Zhigan smiled wryly and said: "Right now we can't leave Lingzhou lightly, Yu Guni in Lingzhou is still an unstable factor, we must get rid of him as soon as possible, otherwise it will become a big problem in the future!"

Zhang Shigui nodded and said: "That's right, but we can lure the snake out of its hole!"

"Oh, how to lure the snake out of the hole?" Duan Zhi asked excitedly.

"There must be Yu Guni's secret work around us, and our every move must be under his surveillance!" Zhang Shigui smiled and said: "From tomorrow on, we will pull out 1 horses and horses for cross-country training every day in full armor. , we will stay with 500 people. If you don’t count carefully, you will definitely not be able to count 1 people and 500 people. From a visual inspection, there is little difference between 1 people and 500 people. Nothing. So we do this, 1 people go out of the camp every day, and 500 of them return. At most ten days, we can put [-] troops in ambush outside the city without anyone noticing, waiting for us to pretend to support Liangzhou , all the troops are mobilized, Lingzhou City's defense is empty, Yu Guni will definitely make a big move!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, well, let's do it like this!"

……

"The north wind blows the ground and the white grass breaks, and Hu Tian blows snow in August. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom." Chen Ying sat in a huge four-wheeled carriage, looking out the window, not knowing what to do Jue recited this poem.Poetry is good, but unfortunately, there is no one around Chen Ying who understands poetry.

It's too wasteful to chew peonies like a cow.

The first game of Wude's three years came as promised. The snow in the northwest was very dry, and it fell all over the sky. It took only a few sticks of incense to cover the ground with white snow.The fluffy pavement does not condense, because the dry and cold cedar is too soft to freeze.

The Western Expedition had already begun, but the army dragged its feet and began to walk out of Liangzhou for more than a hundred miles. The ground had already turned white, and the horse raised its neck and snored for some reason.The hoof stepped on the snow twice, leaving several marks of different shades.

Fortunately, Chen Ying had been prepared. All the soldiers of the Xiaocai Army had down uniforms, down sleeping bags, and linen gloves on their hands, so they wouldn't get frostbite.

The snow in the northwest came quickly and was heavy, covering the sun and the sky, leaving only catkins flying all over the sky.The army marched silently, but their morale was very high.

Just after the third quarter of the unitary hour, Cao Dan came to report to Chen Ying: "General Chen, look at the sky, there will be heavy snow tonight, I'm afraid we can't move on, we must set up camp!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's fine!"

He didn't have to worry, the large four-wheeled carriage was like a moving fortress. Although this carriage was not as luxurious as the four-wheeled carriages of Li Daozhen and Li Xiuning, it was very practical.As long as four four-wheeled carriages are assembled together, a moving castle can be formed immediately.

The scouts who were exploring the way ahead, Jian found a leeward valley.Soldiers of the Tang Army began to set up camp along the valley. The Nine Tribes of Zhaowu lived on the right wing, and the descendants of other tribes lived on the left wing.

With that, tents were erected and campfires lit.The warm firelight drives away the warmth.

Regarding Tang Jun's equipment, whether it is Cao Dan or Shi Ba, they are very envious, especially they each have a sleeping bag, this kind of down sleeping bag, the total weight is less than four catties, and they can find a pile of hay on the ground, and then Get inside, even if you lie in a snowdrift, you won't get frostbite.

Because Cao Dan was the first to take refuge, Chen Ying specially rewarded the leaders of Zhaowu's Nine Departments with a set of sleeping bags. As for the down jackets, that's fine, they'd better wear sheepskin robes.

"General Chen, the mutton soup is ready, you can eat something!"

Zhou Qing brought a bowl of oily mutton soup to Chen Ying's carriage. When Chen Ying saw that the bowl was full of white mutton oil, he felt bad.Chen Yingdao: "This general doesn't like to eat fat mutton, so bring me lean meat!"

Zhou Qing frowned, the fat mutton tasted so delicious, General Chen just couldn't enjoy it.

However, according to Chen Ying's request, he changed a new bowl of lean mutton soup. Chen Ying broke the noodle cake into small pieces, soaked the whole thing in the mutton soup, and ate it together with the mutton and pancakes. Cheerful.

Just after eating, Luo Shixin walked into the garage covered in snow, and sat down in front of the stove to warm up: "It's not difficult to fight, but it's too difficult to travel!"

Chen Ying frowned and said, "How difficult is it? Is it more difficult than when we originally supported Lingzhou?"

"That's different. At that time, didn't we have snow boats?" Luo Shidao said, "It's only been snowing for an hour and a half, and it's almost a foot deep. If the snow doesn't stop overnight, the war horses won't be able to run tomorrow morning." !"

"Snow boat?" Chen Ying said with a smile, "It's not just a matter of two sticks. Let the brothers who will be in charge of the camp work overtime tonight, and ask the Zhaowu Ninth Department to draw 5000 people to log, and cut down [-] pieces of wood." tree, tomorrow we can make [-] snowmobiles!"

In fact, snowmobiles are easier to build than horse-drawn carts.Even fresh wood can be built. Just cut off the branches of the whole tree, then remove the bark, and slowly bake one end with fire to make it warp and form a curved arc. It is easy to make this kind of snowmobile .

Two bent pieces of wood can be assembled together to form a snowmobile about two feet long and six feet wide, which can run quickly on the snow with the food and luggage on it.

The entire camp immediately formed a huge construction site, quickly turning the wood into sleds.Of course, this is just a simple sled. If you are afraid of the cold, you can set up four wooden stakes on the sled and put the tent on it to form a tent sled.

Luo Shixin watched the brand-new sleds appear on the ground, and said excitedly: "This is too amazing!"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "As long as all of our more than 5000 snowmobiles are built, we can surround the snowmobiles every day when camping to form a moving castle. Once attacked, we only need to put hot water , Once poured on the tent, it will immediately freeze into an ice city, which is guaranteed to be impenetrable to arrows and impenetrable with knives!"

With the advent of this blizzard, the Tang army's westward marching army immediately turned into a troop marching on sleds. Except for the scouts who served as guards on the periphery, all the soldiers could hide in the tents on the sleds, roasting by the fire and drinking wine. Hot water, sleep when you want to sleep, lie down when you want to lie down.

It's almost like camping.

But it was a tragedy for the defeated soldiers under Tong Yehu's command. A heavy snowfall froze most of the thousand or so Turkic people.After finally seeing Ten Thousand Springs, Tong Yehu Khan's eyes dropped.Finally, I can have a warm meal.

But Tong Yehu Khan didn't know that what was waiting for him at Wanquan was not a hot meal, but a sharpened knife.

Seeing Tong Yehu Khan leading the remnants of the defeated army appear on the horizon, Su Dingfang let out a heavy breath: "Damn it, it's finally here!"
