People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1272: Zan Xiruo’s Death

The high sunshine in winter is rare and bright.

Under the city gate of Nagqu, a golden Buddha three feet nine inches high and one foot eight inches wide slowly entered Nagqu.

Among the carriages behind, there were more than a dozen carriages following.

All the carriages were filled with young Tibetan women, many of whom looked gorgeous.

Behind the carriage were three thousand Tang slaves on foot.

On the top of the city, Wang Dezhen looked at Li Xuan and said: "Commander, please reply to the letter from the court. Thirty of these Tubo palace ladies will be selected to be brought back to Chang'an. The rest will be given to meritorious soldiers, wives or concubines. In addition, the commander-in-chief will also need Leave some people to take care of.”

"My uncle can handle this matter himself." Li Xuan shook his head and said: "But those who have military merit, are unmarried, and are willing to marry will be the first choice, and others will be ranked second."

"Of course." Wang Dezhen nodded with satisfaction.

Since Li Xuan occupied Nagqu, he has been trying his best to bridge the gap between the local indigenous people and the Tang Dynasty.

Dividing fields is one method, and there is also marriage.

Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty went on war expeditions and did not return home for more than ten years, so they did not mind leaving their bloodlines in the local area.

Especially now that Li Xuan has entered Tubo, and it will only take months and years to capture the logic. It is very likely that they will not leave Tubo for ten years.

Nowadays, unmarried people get married, married people take concubines, and there are many people there all of the time.

Nowadays, there are three thousand young Tibetan palace maids. Although there are few of them with beautiful colors, most of them are young women, which is enough.

Of course, as the coach of the army, Li Xuan's selection qualifications are only after the order of being sent back to Chang'an.

……

"The trouble is with those people at the back." Li Xuan's eyes fell on the thousands of Tang slaves behind.

Only a few of these people could not help but shed tears after seeing the banner with the word "Tang" at the top of the city.

Others are either completely numb, or have very little identification with Datang.

And this is just the first batch.

In the future, a steady stream of maids and slaves will be sent over.

Li Xuan sighed softly and said: "In addition, I don't know how many of these people are spies of the Tubo people."

Without Lu's little tricks, Li Xuan could see through it at a glance.

The opportunity was brought to Wu Lu personally by Li Xuan. It would be strange if Wu Lu didn't make any move.

"According to the original plan, this group of people will be sent to the temporary camp in the north of the city. After cleaning and logging in, they will arrange for land granting according to their gender, age and place of origin. According to the commander's order, these people will They were separated and sent to the distant mountains and fields." Wang Dezhen looked up at Li Xuan and said, "With this, it will be difficult for them to do anything they want to do."

"It's still not enough." Li Xuan shook her head slightly and said, "Separating these people can prevent them from communicating, but it can only be managed for a while, not forever."

"One moment is enough." Wang Dezhen looked calmly at the slaves under the city gate, passed through the city gate, entered the city, and then headed to the north.

Originally, these people should start from a distance, go around the east of the city, and then go from the east of the city to the camp in the north of the city.

But Li Xuan wanted to let these people see where they might live in the future, so that maybe they would wake up faster.

"The Tubo traitors among these people must be eliminated as soon as possible." Li Xuan raised his eyes and said: "As the people of the Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is nothing more than their fields. Here is the order. If anyone can report the Tubo traitors, once verified, additional Granted ten acres of permanent land."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, the soldiers and officials around him all looked over in surprise.

The Tang Dynasty granted 100 acres of land, including 20 acres of Yongye land and 80 acres of subdivided land.

Now that there are ten more acres of Yongye field, even in Tubo, it is enough to drive some people crazy.

"Let Yang Zhirou take charge..." Li Xuan waved her hand and said, "I almost forgot, he is going back to Chang'an with me."

Wang Dezhen couldn't help but feel a little amused, and then said: "Commander, Yang Yushi is a little overqualified for doing this kind of thing. I can just make arrangements for it myself, but the court still needs to give news about this transfer. It’s okay this year, the song has been initially decided, but if we really capture Tubo next year, there will be millions of people, and we won’t be able to do it alone.”

"I will mention this to His Majesty when I get back." Li Xuan smiled helplessly and said, "But I'm afraid there won't be many Jinshi who are really willing to serve in Luocheng."

"The commander-in-chief should lower his standards. We can also fight for those scholars who have failed the exam and are unable to take the exam again. Apart from other things, the treatment of Luo Zhidao is definitely not bad." Wang Dezhen suggested again.

"That's it." Just after Li Xuan finished speaking, he saw a fast horse coming from the east outside the city wall below.

Soon, a messenger from the right leading army guard appeared in front of Li Xuan. He quickly raised the military report and said: "Commander, the Nanju Department of the right guard's forward has arrived in Mali and will meet up with the right leading army guard's forward in Luolong. ."

"Okay!" Li Xuan immediately took the military report, read it quickly, and then handed the official document to Wang Dezhen. At the same time, he said: "It's not easy for the Youtun Guards. It took four months to finally get out of the mountains."

After Wang Dezhen read the official document, he understood what was going on.

It turned out that the right guard had already touched Luo Long. For his own safety, guard Luo Long withdrew the troops blocking the right guard in the mountains.

Only then were the Youtun guards able to fight their way out of the mountain.

This road is quite difficult. If it continues to be blocked, they may not be able to make it out next year.

That is to say, Youtunwei is used to being responsible for food and grass matters. If it were other generals, I am afraid that just marching in winter would drag them to death.

After gathering her thoughts, Li Xuan turned to look at Wang Dezhen and said, "So, by now, the logical plan should be more complete."

Wang Dezhen nodded, and then said: "It depends on when Zan Xiruo will respond."

……

The waning moon is like a hook, and cold frost covers the ground.

A burst of rapid hoofbeats came from a distance, and then hundreds of war horses rushed directly forward.

Ahead is a dense forest. After turning through the dense forest, you can see the Gar family's manor outside Tubo City.

There, the Gar family also had a thousand elite cavalry. Brenzan held the reins with one hand and tightly held the secret message in his other hand, rising and falling with the horse.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was staring at the woods ahead.

A black figure flashed in his mind, and Brenzan's lips pursed tightly.

Li Xuan, the King of Nanchang, was the one who captured him.

Recalling that in the Taozhou black jail, Qian Niuwei used various torture instruments to greet him, and Brenzan couldn't help but feel bursts of pain.

It was precisely because of that experience that he subconsciously couldn't resist when Li Xuan came before him again.

Now, Li Xuan sent such a letter to him again.

It was a letter written by Dazha Gonglu, who was supposed to be dead, to the Tubo Queen Mother Bulu.

The content inside tells about his experiences over the years, especially how he died that year.

He was stabbed to death by Lun Qinling with a sword and then thrown into the fire.

So he was lucky enough to survive...

Brenzan didn't even have time to think about why Li Xuan sent someone to deliver such a letter to him instead of to Luo Ze. He only had time to hurriedly bring hundreds of guards and kill Luo Ze, because in this At that time, the eldest brother praised Xiruo for returning his logic.

How could Brenzan still not know what was going to happen.

Once something happens to the eldest brother, the entire Gar family will completely fall apart. Fortunately, the eldest brother will stay at the family manor for a day today, so there is still time.

The dense forest ahead quickly flashed past, but in an instant, the sky-high flames rushed into Brenzan Blade's eyes.

Fire, fire, fire...

Endless flames filled the sky appeared in the Gar family villa at the end of the line of sight. In the flames, countless cavalry could be clearly seen running outside the flames.

The long knife was raised, and one life after another was destroyed in the flames.

Brenzan slowed down his horse intentionally, looking at everything in the distance with a blank expression.

What is happening? Everything in front of me is just a dream.

There, there...there is my home...

"Ah..." The Brenzan Blade, which was in pain like a wounded beast, let out an extremely miserable roar on the horse.

The sound echoed in the surrounding fields.

Looking up to the sky and mourning.

Suddenly, Brenzan lowered his head and stared at the flames at the end of his sight and the endless cavalry. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, fight back."

"Kill!" The soldiers around him responded without any hesitation, their eyes full of hatred.

The next moment, the war horse ran wildly, and the long knife in his hand was also raised. At this moment, a war horse suddenly appeared on the mountain road ahead.

Looking at the Brenzan Blade, he sneered slightly, then turned around and headed back.

This weird scene immediately attracted Brenzan Blade's attention.

In particular, the opponent was wearing black clothes and black armor. He looked very much like the person Brenzanren hated and feared the most. In an instant, Brenzanren's dizzy head began to cool down.

"Stop the horse!" Brenzann shouted suddenly, and in an instant, the horse was forcibly stopped.

Fortunately, they haven't fully increased their speed yet, otherwise they wouldn't be able to stop even if they wanted to.

Brenzan stared into the darkness and asked: "Who?"

In the darkness, a middle-aged man in black clothes and armor walked out on horseback. The middle-aged man held his hands expressionlessly: "Tang, Guo regrets that he has met the general."

"You came out of the city." Brenzan was extremely certain because he had seen this face somewhere before.

Guo Rui regretted and smiled softly, and then said: "Today, at noon, Prime Minister Zan Xiruo was summoned to the palace. Zan Pu liked the knife he was wearing very much. He took it and played with it in his hand. As a result, he accidentally cut his finger... …”

Brenzan stared at Guo Regret, and said in disbelief: "They couldn't kill my brother just because he cut his finger."

"Where!" Guo's regretful words just made Brenzan breathe a sigh of relief, and he immediately said with a smile but not a smile: "The Queen Mother did not use Lushi to 'plot to assassinate Zanpu' at will, and executed Zan Xiruo, and then the Deputy Prime Minister of Tubo Melu Chisang and General Qu Mangbu Zilasong led 3,000 cavalry out of the city to besiege the Gar family manor. Without any defense, more than 2,000 people were killed."

As he said that, Guo regretted pulling his horse and took a step back. Then he looked at the manor in flames in the distance and said softly: "They have been fighting since noon and started setting fire again... There are still three thousand elite cavalry there. If you want Revenge, I won’t stop you.”

Blenzan Blade's face instantly darkened.

Revenge, didn't he want to take revenge? If Guo Regret hadn't appeared just now, then he might have killed him back.

But the result is.

There were 3,000 cavalrymen slaughtering the family there. If he and the more than 100 people went back, they would probably just be meat buns beating dogs.

No wonder Guo regretted the way he turned around and left just now. He obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with the dead man.

Brenzan Blade turned his head and looked at the burning villa in the distance, as endless wailing sounds seemed to linger in his ears.

Brenzann immediately clenched his fists tightly, his veins stood out, and he gritted his teeth. He wanted to pounce on him immediately, but the horse's hooves under his body did not move at all.

Guo regretted his glance and sneered in his eyes.

"The King of Nanchang has something to say." Brenzan Blade finally turned his head and stared at Brenzan Blade.

"The Gar family still has 20,000 elite cavalry in their hands. The family also has children in other places. If you can control it, you can come to Nagqu. The Tang Dynasty will give you the title of Duke. It will be hereditary and the family will be honored. Regardless of whether Qinling, Praise, and Xiru can be buried with Zhaoling, the only thing you need to do is..."

"Just send me Lu and Zanpu."
