Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1037 I raise your wife

On the bank of the Minjiang River, in the Jiacheng County Government.

Xifeng Bulai introduced Tang Jian to his father Xifeng Xi, "Father, this is Tang Jian, the envoy of Daqin and member of the Ministry of Rites."

Xi Fengxi looks very similar to his son, but his face is more vicissitudes, and his eyes look very rich. He didn't get up in a hurry when he saw Tang Jian, but sat there and looked at Tang Jian.

"Why did the envoy come here?"

"Patriarch Xifeng, someone has been here before and discussed with your son about joining the imperial court. Your son is willing to persuade the patriarch to lead his troops to join me in Daqin. Today I came again and brought the imperial court's conferring edict."

After hearing this, Xi Fengxi got up, "So that's how it is, that's negligence, please forgive me." Xi Fengxi was named after a rhinoceros, which was a rhinoceros he hunted when he was young.In the Xishan area, rhinoceros and elephants ran everywhere in ancient times, and Pixiu (giant panda) crawled everywhere.Although there are few elephant herds in the mountains, you can still see some rhinos and wild animals.

Although the name is Xifeng, Xifengxi is called the old fox by the party departments. He is a very cunning guy.He didn't believe that the people of Qin came to surrender.It's just that the last time Tubo sent troops to attack Qin and returned without success, he was also worried about Qin people's revenge.

"Under the door."

"I ordered Xifengxi, the leader of the Dangxiang Xifeng Department, to be the prefect of Jishi County, commanding the eight departments of the Dangxiang, the Heidangxiang, and the Xueshan Dangxiang, and bestowing the title of Jishi Bo."

After hearing the edict, Xi Fengxi was very dissatisfied.

"Where is this Jishi County?"

"It is to the south of Dajishi Mountain, where the various ministries of the party are located."

"Does that include here?"

"This place is under Tongchang County, so it is naturally not included."

Xi Fengxi suppressed her anger, "The prefect of Jishi County? Why not the king of Dangxiang? My son Bu Lai told me before that what you told him was the promise to be king."

Tang Jian chuckled, "It was different before, but now the Tuyuhun Kingdom has perished, and Tubo has proclaimed its vassals, and even dozens of countries in the Western Regions and the tribes of the Western Turks have also proclaimed their vassals. Tuyuhun and the Western Regions are now fully established as counties. County, the land of the Western Mountains, of course it should be the same."

Xifengbulai hurriedly persuaded his father not to be angry.

Xi Fengxi said coldly, "I can agree to anything else, but Jishi County should start from Dajishi Mountain in the north, reach the Snow Mountain in the east, and reach Ma Ke River in the south."

"If the patriarch makes such a request, then not only will the territories of the Misang and Chunsang tribes be demarcated, but also most of the Tongchang County of my Great Qin Dynasty will be demarcated?"

"Most of Tongchang County is to the west of the snow-capped mountains, and it is difficult for the imperial court to manage it. There are not many Han people here, so it is better to let me manage it."

Seeing Xi Fengxi's tough attitude, Tang Jian thought for a while and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter, but I can ask the court first, and the emperor and the ministers of the court will decide. Whether it is successful or not, this It's all for later, let's discuss how to attack the Tuoba tribe first."

The Tuoba tribe is the strongest among the Xiang Zhuqiangs in the party, and it is also the deadly enemy of Xifeng. If the Tuoba tribe is not eliminated, the Xifeng tribe cannot become the leader of the party.After the meeting, Xifeng father and son discussed in private.

"These Qin people are too hateful. They promised me to be king before, but now they are only earls, not the founding princes. It is too much for a prefect of a county to ask us to leave this place."

"Father, please calm down. It's not the same as before. Tuyuhun was defeated. Murong Shun didn't even fart, so he took the whole family to Chang'an? He led his troops to fight for the Qin army before, but he ended up fighting He won, but Tuyuhun didn’t belong to him anymore. It’s not bad to get a post of prefect now, at least with the support of the court, my fine sealing department can destroy Tuoba and become the leader of the party. From now on, Jishi County will not be ours The Xifeng family has the final say."

"That's right, let's borrow the banner of the Qin family first and destroy Tuoba first."

Tuoba suffered a lot in Dafeichuan last time, losing more than [-] elite riders.However, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. If the Small Seal Department does not have the support of the court, even if it wins the fight, it will still have to guard against other departments.But with the banner of the imperial court, the ministries dare not intervene in the struggle between the two of them, and maybe they can bring in some helpers.

"After we destroy the Tuoba tribe first, we will insist on not handing over the land west of the snow-capped mountains, forcing the imperial court to back down and assign Shanxi to us." Xi Fengxi made a decision.

south.

Su Dingfang led more than [-] Daqin soldiers, and Shen Guang led [-] Wenshan County soldiers and Shuqiang followers, walking through the valleys, and they went north along the Minjiang River Valley.

The road was difficult, so Shen Guang asked the Qiang people to drive the goats and carry grain bags with the army.

With those two thousand local guides, Su Dingfang's burden was greatly relieved.

On both sides of the Minjiang River, there are Qiang people all over the place. Most of them came to loot during the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, and in the end they simply occupied the land and refused to leave.Many of the former grain fields have become pastures, and some Qiang people have started farming.

There are many Qiang villages and bunkers on the road, but this time Su Dingfang's target is the Xifeng Ministry, shoot the first bird, and do it first.

Shen Guang sent a guide of the Qiang people to greet the Qiangs along the way, saying that they were only passing by. The Qiangs saw that the Qin army was so numerous that they did not come to attack, so they did not dare to take the initiative to intercept the attack, and each opened a way to let Qin The army passed by.

"Boss, do you want to send someone to bring Tang Jian back first? He is still in the fine sealing department of Jiacheng County. If we attack, I'm afraid he will really die by then."

"Do you know what is dead time?" Su Dingfang asked Shen Guang.

"It's a matter of death."

"Back then, in the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a minister named Li Shiqi. He went to lobby the king of Qi and persuade him not to be an enemy of Liu Bang. The king of Qi really thought that Liu Bang sent him to negotiate a truce, so he relaxed his vigilance. Han Xin took the opportunity to destroy the Qi State with his troops. The angry King Qi cooked Li Shiqi to death, and Li Shiqi was dead."

Su Dingfang didn't pay attention to Tang Jian's life and death. Now it's a battlefield and a time of war. If Tang Jian can be sacrificed in exchange for victory, then Su Dingfang thinks it's worth it.Because after a hard battle, thousands of soldiers may die. Tang Jian's life is life, and the lives of soldiers are also life.

On the battlefield, no one's life is more valuable, there is only a difference between more and less.

"Tang Jian is still in the small seal department, and the small seal department will definitely relax its vigilance. If we attack suddenly, we can greatly reduce the casualties of our army. Don't miss this opportunity. It is worthwhile for Tang Jian to exchange the lives of thousands of my children. "

"If Tang Jian dies, I, Su Dingfang, will retrieve his body and send it back to his hometown. I will take care of his wife and children."

In Jiacheng County, the Xifeng Department is preparing for battle and is preparing to send troops to raid the Tuoba Department.

Before the war, according to tradition, they slaughtered cattle and sheep, sacrificed to the gods, and then had a big meal and drank fine wine.

At night, the Xifeng Qiang people who were full and drunk were immersed in sleep, and the forward soldiers led by Shen Guang had quietly touched the foot of the mountain.

Shen Guang personally led a team of Qiang soldiers who were good at climbing mountains and crossing dangers, climbed up from the steep side of the mountain city, and quietly entered the city.

Most of the Xifeng people were drunk, and the rest were unsuspecting. Shen Guang and others rushed to the city gate like magic soldiers, hacked and captured the city gate, opened the city gate, and lit the torches Initiate a signal.

At the foot of the mountain, when Su Dingfang saw the signal, he swung his sword, and countless soldiers of the Qin army rushed towards the mountain city with shouts.

When the Xifeng father and son in the city realized something was wrong, it was already too late. The elite Qin army led by Su Dingfang, wearing bright armor and holding armor-piercing spears, poured into the city continuously.

The mountain city that was originally strong and dangerous has now become a cage that traps Xi Fengxi and his son.
