Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 597 Half a Trap
The morning sun jumps out from the distant horizon, and its light shines on the ground, adding a bit of warmth to the slightly cold late spring.

Birds flew out sporadically, their chirping sounds awakening the earth.

Young grass seems to grow in the breeze, after all, spring in the north always comes late;

Insects seemed to be crawling and flying everywhere;
The animals in the cattle pens are also moaning, and the sounds of "moo", "baa" and "phew" are endless.

The lazy herdsmen reluctantly came out of the hot felt and started to be herders again.

No way, a hundred people have to take care of thousands of livestock, so being lazy is not an option.

Although the cattle pen has no roof, the smell of the concentrated manure is quite strong. You can smell the stinky breath and see swarms of flies spreading their wings from half a mile away.

Dislike the smell of feces?
No, for a true prairie man, these excrements should be shoveled into the car and taken away. When dried, it becomes good fuel.

An armor-piercing arrow whistled through the air, pinning the herdsman who was about to approach the cattle pen to the ground. The pair of dead fish eyes stared blankly, his lips opened and closed, and what came out was not words, but pools of blood.

The armor-shooting arrow pierced through the heart, and even Sun Simiao had to shake his head when he came, and used his old skills to give Huang Luzhai to him.

The screams of misery kept coming one after another. It was just a small tribe of about a hundred people. How could they be the well-prepared enemies of Huazhou Yueqi?
"We are members of the Ast tribe!" the Turks shouted as they hid behind the car.

The prince in the distance sneered: "Are you being a solitary and ignorant person? The Ashid tribe is called Ast Dezhou, also known as A Dezhou, and is under the leadership of the Dingxiang Governor's Mansion."

The Ast tribe is in the eastern part of the Turks, and the direction of the Hunyi River is in the northwest. Why did they encounter it?

Regardless of whether it was someone else who was pretending to be someone else or someone who had ulterior motives on his part, there were only two words: Damn it.

Fan Zheng nodded: "Your Highness's words are very true. Besides, a small tribe is grazing, and it should be full of old and weak women and children. This place is full of men and women, and it has its own secrets."

Fan Sheng smiled and said nothing.

Whatever you think, as long as it doesn't stop me from arranging the massacre.

Talking about kindness during war is a funny thing.

Tsk tsk, there are thousands of cattle and sheep. Even if some of them are turned in according to the rules, 3000 people and horses can still get a lot of profit, right?
Prince Zuo Qingdao led the troops, and Prince Zuo Nei led the troops regardless of their wealth?

Look at what you said, the foreign ministers colluded with the ten leaders of the East Palace, what do they want?

Many times, it is not enough to just have a fair heart. Good intentions are not as good as duty. At least duty does not bring disaster.

Compassion does not command soldiers, Fan Zheng doesn't feel much about killing anymore, as long as he doesn't kill the people of Tang Dynasty, he has a clear conscience.

There is no begging, no forgiveness, just iron and blood.

Zhou Yige rode through the curtain, Shan Wenjia blocked an arrow, and the lacquer gun quickly killed two Turks.

After Huazhou Yueqi quietly took control of the cattle pen, there was a one-sided massacre. Most of the prairie people's strength without horses was lost.

To set up an ambush outside the Mu Us Desert, one must think of Datang's revenge.

The prince covered his face slightly: "I can't bear to watch the killing anymore, so take the first step."

Li Yifu shamelessly praised: "Your Highness is kind and can't bear to kill, which is really a blessing to the world!"

This guy was so cheeky, he was so flattering, and he was piling up rhetoric, which really made Fan Zheng shake his head.

Forget it, Brother Yifu is destined to take the wrong path. He is just flattering, which is far from the bottom line. If you lose your integrity, just lose it.

After marching for several days, we were all tired of eating the mutton, but no one was willing to eat the cattle and horses.

In the eyes of the farming people, cattle and horses are the best labor force and cannot be eaten randomly!

Hey, human nature is like this. When there is no meat to eat, you want to eat meat, just mutton. Some people can't stand it and want to eat some vegetables.

Fortunately, before the Hunyi army set out for the expedition, the supplies designated by Fan Zheng contained a considerable amount of Jingyang Fu tea.Regardless of whether the Fu tea craftsmanship of this era is perfect or not, the basic functions of relieving greasiness and removing oil are indispensable, and each group can receive a corresponding amount of tea tea on a daily basis.

Those who pay attention to the point may make tea soup, or add tea leaves to mare's milk or goat's milk to make milk tea;
If you are not particular about it, you can just throw the tea leaves into the mutton soup, and the taste will not be too strange. Even the tea leaves and tea stems can be chewed and swallowed.

Don't expect to be able to supply Qiu Ba, which is a good tea. It only costs [-] to [-] yuan per catty, and the proportion of tea stems is naturally higher.

You know, even Fan Zheng, who is not particular about anything, will never swallow tea stems.

On the other hand, the tea here in Prince has a strong flavor and almost no tea stems. The picking standard is probably "one flag, one shot".

This standard refers to one bud and one leaf, a top-notch picking standard, and a tea garden on a hilltop cannot produce many kilograms.

The name "One Flag and One Gun" had already appeared in the Song Dynasty at the latest.

"I'm worried, Hunyi River's mediation of disputes is just a trap." The prince took a sip of tea and knitted his brows.

Yuchi Baolin nodded frequently to show support.

The gap between the fourth-grade deputy leader and the third-grade official is not big, but Fan Zheng's favor is there, and he must respect it again and again.

Even Li Yifu felt vaguely uneasy.

From the current point of view, the prince is not a pure layman, at least he still has a sense of the overall situation.

Fan Zheng took a sip of tea soup and said: "It's half a trap. If the Tang Dynasty is strong, all the tribes will be respectful, singing and dancing; if it is a little weak, they will attack in groups."

"Judging from the situation, it is related to Gao Kan, the lieutenant general of Youxiao Wei Yifu, attacking Ashina Hubo at the nose of the car."

I don't know if some great Turkic genius came up with a crooked trick, using the usual disputes on the grassland to attract the Khan of Heaven.

If the Khan of Heaven is prepared, then so be it;

If you are unprepared, make a surprise attack. Even if you can't capture Tian Khan, you can still relieve some pressure on Bizhen Chebi Khan.

Ashina Hubo's reputation did not allow the tribes to take risks, but Jiamantuo's reputation was prosperous.

One of the rules of grassland survival: Never be the mainstay, only the grassland can live well.

Therefore, when Qibi Heli captured Xue Yantuo, the ministers of the Tang Dynasty believed that he must have surrendered Yishu Yinan.

Who knew Qibi could be so loyal?
It is precisely because of this that Fan Sheng's slaughter is like thunder. If it doesn't move, it will be dead, but if it moves, there will be no chance of survival.

This is Liwei.

Not counting the few troops led by Prince Zuo Qingdao, the 3000-strong Tang Yueqi were enough to support a tough battle and could face an enemy of [-] to [-] without retreating.

These cattle and horses were seized again. Although the horses were of poor quality, they were still capable of pulling carts and carrying a load of luggage.

With these oxen and horses available, the war horses don't need to bear any weight at ordinary times, and they can still have full energy when fighting.

"Reporting to the general manager and deputy general manager, there are five thousand Turkic soldiers twenty miles away on the right. They are suspected of attacking our Hunyi army!"

Deng Wen, commander of the flying cavalry brigade, entered the camp to report.

Xiang Liqian came in with two You Yi proudly: "My right guard, Wei Erlang, has captured a man alive, so I can capture a general alive!"

The Capture General was an addition to the standard military system of the Tang Dynasty. It was lower than the captain and did not lead the army. It was specially used to reward warriors who could capture enemy soldiers alive. It could be regarded as the reserve team of the captain.

The famous Anlu Mountain started from catching generals.
