Chapter [-] Turning Point

Within a few days, the news of Duanling's victory spread throughout the capital in an instant. Compared with the previous Koryo victory, the Duanling battle can better reflect the strength of the Tang Dynasty. They are brave and good at fighting, and the history of the Turkic people's suppression of the Tang Empire for decades has finally been reversed. After removing this thorn, even the sky above the head seems to be much bluer.

After Mr. Cheng took Duanling, the Turkic people were already fish and meat, unable to stir up big waves, but they still controlled half of the country, and it would take a little effort to sweep them all at once.But what no one expected was that Mr. Cheng resolutely divided his troops and went south to Tuyuhun, leaving only [-] subordinates to cooperate with the Xiting [-] cavalry to expand the victory. Chuan completed the strategic deployment before.

"Isn't it too early to divide the troops now?" Someone asked in front of Zuo Wuwei's sand table. I'm afraid that things will change with each passing year."

Liang Jian looked dignified, without saying a word, and climbed the sand table alone to insert and pull out the general chess. After several times in a row, he finally straightened up and wiped his face. I thought it would be cheap for our boss, hehe, I made the wrong idea. The Turks are now a dead dog, and sooner or later they will be the meat of our mouths. They have been at war for two years. There are no more than a few men. To deal with a group of old and weak women and children, the [-] army looks highly on them. Take a step back, it doesn’t matter if you can’t fight this year, now we are pulling the wind flag, and the surrounding tribes are anxious to gather towards us before it’s too late. It’s melon seeds who don’t take advantage of this time to share the leftovers, and we don’t need to do anything, it’s no wonder that the remaining Turkic people can’t be dragged out all winter.”

Too.No one expected that the once tyrannical Western Turks collapsed so quickly. From the march to the decisive battle, it took only two months. The surrounding tribes and small countries that originally depended on the Turks would definitely fall into the arms of the Tang Empire. Believe me, there will be no chance in the future.

This time, only the Tubo people miscalculated. They took the risk of starting a month earlier, and the time advantage they had won for themselves disappeared in an instant.in a few days.Su Dingfang's military report came back, and the Tang army withstood the crazy attack of the Tibetans at the cost of more than [-] lives. Now the Xianchuan defenders have suffered more than half of the casualties, and the situation is not optimistic.

In a frenzy, Liang Jianfang was even crazier than the Tubo people, playing with hidden weapons, throwing sand tables, and punching for several days in a row.It made me wear full armor every day. On a hot day, I was covered with armor, and I almost took off the mask in the helmet.Dugu Fu Gengjue, took advantage of Lao Sha's hidden weapon and fell to the ground, and was carried back unconscious under the envious eyes of all the commanders and fighters.Depend on!He stole my part, that's what I meant to do!

I can't live anymore, I don't have the heart to care about how miserable the front line is, I can't get through this difficulty just now.Every day when I was in bed, the muscles of my whole body were tense, and I was always ready to deal with Liang Bushi's surprise attack. I dodged a kick yesterday, but the person standing behind me flew far away, and I didn't get up for a long time. man stands on his head.

"Zihao, come here." Liang Jianfang greeted me after nodding his head. "How about the things assigned to you when you left yesterday?"

"Ah?" When was the military affairs assigned to me, why didn't I know?It's over, I died today!When eating in the morning, I dropped my chopsticks, which is a bad omen.The corners of his mouth were twitching, with an expression of grievance towards Xue: "The last general is incompetent, and...he hasn't finished yet." This old killer is clearly looking for trouble, and he can't ask now, and he will die even worse if he asks.I can only sternly follow him.

"Oh." Liang Jianfang nodded, "So the military plane was delayed?"

"This... yes!" It was probably time to hit the army stick.Fortunately, I am familiar with the marching law, so I won't hit hard to death, and I just go back to rest after the fight, so I admit it.

"Pull it down, Shijun stick!" The old man turned his face and waved to the soldiers standing behind, "Don't be soft!"

Two acquaintances came over, looked at me strangely, and were about to make a move. "Little brother can go on his own, the two brothers don't need to pull, you lead the way." After turning the corner, he said to the executioner emotionally: "Brother, it will be done in a while. The younger brother is old and sick, and he will commit crimes as soon as he beats him. show mercy."

"That's what people who were beaten say." The tall man grinned at me, and said kindly, "Marshal Liang has a temper. Usually, those who are beaten with ten sticks will have pain in their flesh, and it will not hurt their bones. Don't worry."

"Huh? Don't, can it be done more lightly?" It would be troublesome if the standard is not to hurt the muscles and bones. The flesh and blood will not hurt the muscles and bones, and the buttocks are full of blooms, and even sleeping is a problem. My two mothers-in-law are so distressed. "Is it okay to wear pants?" Wearing full armor and putting down the waist protector can cover half of the buttocks, which has a buffer.

"Oh...you climb down first," the short man spread out a piece of sackcloth on the ground, and picked up a stick with a flat head. "The prisoner hasn't arrived yet. Mr. Chang Shi will discuss it with him later. Our brother is working hard, not so much." Great power. Don't blame me."

After crawling on the ground for a long time, I chatted with the two executioners for a long time. They had already talked about the third generation of their ancestors, and I just asked your mother's last name. I haven't seen anyone coming to prison, so I couldn't help being impatient, "Climbing for half a night, why don't you Let's beat him up and return to his life, anyway, I'm familiar with the jailer, so let's talk to him later and let's go.”

"I'm afraid..." Just as I was talking, the prisoner came over, winked at me on the ground, pulled a stool to sit down, and then ordered: "Do it, ten blows, get up!"

"Slow down!" The prisoner knew me, and he chatted with me for a long time during the last celebration banquet, "Brother is sick, don't dare to be too serious, he will be stupid if he hits him."

"Well, the commander-in-chief has explained, hurry up and finish the fight, and then we have to discuss things later, and the battle report came earlier." Turning to the two executioners, he said: "There are still things to discuss later, fight!"

The two of them knew each other, and the short man came over and spread the waist guard from the armor on my buttocks, pressed it a few times to get a good degree of strength, and a stick smashed down with a sound of breaking through the air.

"Oh!" Damn!This is still light.The stick was like being pressed by a red-hot iron, and the pain spread to the whole body. The muscles in the waist and legs twitched, and he twisted his waist and rolled on the ground.

"Hold it down, hold it down!" The two executioners held down my hands and feet and pulled them back onto the cloth, "Brother, just go through with Renren. You'll be fine after the beating, and you can't hurt anyone."

After ten blows, he didn't even have the strength to hum, and crawled on the ground covered in sweat, his whole body was limp. "It can't be done, we can't discuss anything, take me back to prepare for the funeral."

"Hehe..." the jailer stretched out his hand and lifted me up, "You can't crawl after being beaten. Hurry up and walk around, and you'll pass after a while, and you won't even be late for sleep. These batons are knowledgeable, and they are all skilled. I know how to play, try it, and take two steps."

"That's right." Being pulled up, he took two small steps carefully, and the feeling on his buttocks was still there.But it really doesn't affect walking. I reached out and touched it, and it was a little swollen, but it wouldn't be dead. "Can you scold people?"

"Yes, the commander-in-chief can't hear you again. There are too many people swearing after beating the stick." The prison officer told the executioners to retreat and recorded the execution process in the case. ,readily."

"No, don't go, who shall I scold if you go?"

"..."

Walking is normal, but we also have to look like we are being beaten. We limped and supported the wall and slowly moved towards the hall. For the sake of image, we moved for half an hour.The pain in the butt gradually disappeared, but the sun was too much to bear, so I had to speed up my pace, find a shady place and move slowly.

"What about confinement?" Nuo was just getting into it, when he looked up and saw Liang Jianfang's old face, he shivered. "Don't pretend, if you pretend again, you will be hit ten sticks. A big man is not ashamed."

"Yes!" It seems that Liang Jianfang has been beaten by military sticks before.Still an experienced one.

"I am very happy today. But think about it, if I don't clean you up again today, I might lose my chance in the future." Liang Jianfang smiled and nodded at me, and said kindly: "Go, the military report is on the old man's case. Take a look for yourself, we will have a discussion later.”

Is this old guy going to be fired?It must have been an accident on the front line, I can’t pretend anymore, I took three steps and two steps, trotting all the way to the hall, everyone climbed on the sand table and was deducing, I went to the handsome case and took today’s military newspaper to read.

Unlike normal days, there are two military newspapers this time, both written by Su Dingfang.One is that the main force of Tubo has signs of retreating from Xianchuan, and the other is to predict Tubo's next military intentions.

The Tubo army in Tuyuhun also got the news that after the victory of the Tang army, the murderous demon king divided his troops to the south in advance. Now, for the Tubo army, whether they can capture Xianchuan within a month is no longer the top priority. The important thing is to consolidate the results as soon as possible. Now that we have missed the best time to divide our troops to go south, we can gain a firm foothold in Tuyuhun before the arrival of the Tang army. After all, one-third of the territory of Tuyuhun has already been acquired, and it has taken advantage of the geographical advantage. Although Su Dingfang's Xianchuan defenders let They have suffered a lot, but it is also a good choice to deal with Tang State condescendingly, try to avoid decisive battles, and the plateau climate is the sharpest weapon in their hands.

"The tug-of-war, the main force of the Tubo thieves is slowly leaving the river and moving to a higher place, leaving only a small group of troops to deal with the Xianchuan defenders and the Tuyuhun Qingqi." After countless times of life-threatening attacks by the Tubo people, The pressure on the defenders of Xianchuan suddenly decreased, and Su Dingfang's military report clearly pointed out the military movements of the Tubo people, "Su Dingfang is really timid, and took advantage of this time to cross the river and kill the Tubo people for a while. Front and back attack. It's a pity to delay the military plane!"

It seems that Liang Jianfang is in a good mood now. As a senior general, he can even say such irresponsible words, and his face has returned to his previous thickness.All the officers echoed with contempt on their faces, while I let out a long sigh of relief. Regardless of the tug-of-war, at least half of Tuyuhun was saved. Looking at the overall situation, Datang has won an unprecedented victory. Although Tubo did not occupy the entire territory of Tuyuhun , but seized the superior terrain, which is also the past.

What is different from the past is that if the Turks are cleaned up, the area of ​​​​Rongyou will double, and there will be a few more important places bordering Tubo, which will definitely be difficult to cope with the current military strength of the Tang Dynasty. If the imperial court wants to maintain the rule over there Right, conscription is imperative.It doesn't matter, anyway, I can't get it on my head. A single seedling has the advantages of being a single seedling, and being beaten has the advantage of being beaten.

"No!" Liang Jianfang glared at me, "The front is tight, and you want to be a deserter, believe it or not? Hang it outside the door for you to dry?"

I knew he said that, anyway, there is no one around now, so it doesn't matter if you are a dead dog. "Grandpa Liang, the boy has been serving in the army with illness, and he fell ill every time it was hot. You see, he was beaten with dozens of sticks just now, and now his headache is about to burst, and he is about to die."

"It's your butt, what's the pain in your head? You're alive and kicking, how can it be so easy to want to die?" Liang Jianfang handed me a command arrow, "It's over after a few hits on the head. It's not enough to let you rest at home for a few days , I have to run to recuperate. Who do you think you are? It’s been a few days in autumn, and it will be cool after a few more days.” As he spoke, he subconsciously loosened the loops in front of him, “Let’s not say, this year Autumn is hotter than summer, bear with it, go back and put a wet cloth on your head."

It is not a good thing to have a blue sky without clouds in the hot summer. At least I hope that there will be a few more rains to ease the temperature, and I have a wet towel on my head.I soaked my feet in the water basin, held hawthorn water with my left hand, and shook the cattail fan with my right hand. After a night of sleep, the pain in my buttocks was much better.I want to imitate Wangcai and stick out my tongue to cool down.Forget it after thinking about it, our ancestors didn't evolve this function for us.

"It's already noon, my husband didn't go to answer business today?" Ying left me early in the morning and went to work, and didn't find out that I was still at home until noon.The appearance is still so weird, and he said with a smile: "Why do you look like this, and there is no sun at home, what kind of headscarf is on, get off quickly."

"Stop moving." He tilted his head and avoided it, "Military order! You have to bear it."

"For such a way to escape the summer heat, just go into the pond in the garden. Hehe..." Ying grabbed my shoulders and took the cloth off my head, "Last night, my husband was groaning and talking all night, talking in his sleep for a long time. "

"Isn't it," am I easy?How uncomfortable it is to crawl to sleep with your butt sticking out. I am afraid that the two of them will worry about it, so I dare not tell others.Come on hard. "It's hot. At this time last year, the morning and evening were all divided, and this year it's global warming? Well, you're right, I'll just soak in the garden pool!" Fortunately, Ying reminded that the family spent so much money digging a pool, and the fish I can swim in it, why can't I, we are masters of backwater, especially butterfly stroke, the butterfly is very good! "Wangcai, let's go!"

"Crazy!" Ying couldn't stop her, she kept following behind, tried to call for someone several times, but stopped, so she pulled out a bamboo pole and stood by the pond, threatening me: "There is a bastard here! , can bite people!"

Don't talk to her, when did Wang Ba know that my house dug a pool, and now he is not afraid of anything except beating army sticks. "Don't worry, I'm naked!" He stripped off his naked body three times and five times, and dipped his toes in the water. It was cool, if it wasn't for his own pool, it was clean and cool, and he rolled down when he bent over.The pool was a little shallow, and the water in the middle was barely above her chest. Ying took a bamboo pole and circled the pool twice, and found that there was no need to save people, so she entered the pavilion.

"Would you like to come down and try it?" It's cool, digging first, then digging, this body is not as useful as before, after two strokes, the butterfly does not move, and continues to dig. "Beauty!"

"My concubine is waiting to catch someone!" Ying sat in the pavilion with a look of disdain, and shook her long bamboo pole, "What's the proper way, what if someone comes in here?"

"Sitting on the shore, it's cool to take off your shoes and stretch your feet in," just as he was talking, Wangcai also jumped down with a "plop", and a standard dog pawed in front of me and kept climbing on my head. "It's okay, dogs are not afraid, what are people afraid of?"

Ying stood up and looked around the garden, picked up the bamboo pole and poked it in the pool, found a flat stone slab and sat down carefully, took off her shoes and socks, lifted her skirt and stretched her legs down. "It's cold, the well water is poured regularly, husband, come up quickly, be careful of cramps."

"You can't drown even with cramps, that's how deep it is." I competed with Wangcai for a few laps and won. "Look, isn't it amazing?" He straightened up and came to Ying's side.

"What's wrong with my body?" Just as I was about to sit down, I found the bruise on my buttocks, grabbed my arm and pulled it towards the bank, "One blue one and one purple one, turn around, let me take a look!"

"What's so good about it." He quickly posted it by the pool and sat down, "This is where people ride horses. It's been almost two months. I don't have any leisure time. Every day, I ride horses towards Zuo Wuwei, and they go back and forth for dozens of miles. .”

"Oh?" Ying didn't quite know what damage riding a horse could cause. "Why does it sound strange? When I was a child, I used to ride a donkey when I went out. My husband is bluffing."

"Can a donkey compare with a horse? The way of riding is different. Don't worry about men's affairs!" I had to change the topic so that she wouldn't continue to pester me, "Do your own work first, what have you been up to lately? Early in the morning No one will be seen."

"It can be said," Ying saw my strong look, so she didn't look down, stretched her legs and poked down again, shivering coolly, and then pulled her face down after a happy face, "I'm done. What a mistake, I didn't greet my husband from head to toe..."

Flicking the water on his body, he flopped around a few times before asking, "Who's the handsome boy again?"

After hearing this, Ying slapped two palms on my back angrily, "Nonsense!"

"Oh, then it's not a big deal." He lifted his foot and scratched it lightly, "Tell me, I'll give you an idea, I'll take care of all the Turks by myself, what else can be difficult? "

"My concubine is also in a difficult situation, and I can't learn from you and settle the matter for the Yun family." Ying Ai looked at the showy appearance, leaned on my shoulder with a smile, put her arms around my neck and stirred the water with her hands, "Accidentally let Yun My family learned our ability to incubate eggs, and told her to do it, if this continues, she will have to turn over, and now her family keeps selling chickens, what should I do?"

"Ah, haha." Ying's frowning look is really funny, "I've only been ignoring the family affairs for a few days, and you'll understand that there's a mess, and it's too late to clean it up. Let's hit the army stick first!"
