Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Kill these Tubo people for me!"

"promise!"

Twenty thousand Tang cavalry roared in unison.

next moment.

Like a flood that had been released, it rushed towards the bewildered army of feudal lords.

Facts have proved that in front of the huge cavalry, the infantry can only be massacred.

After the screams, only the Tubo female prime minister with a frightened and angry look and a dozen remaining guards were left on Yelangpo, which was covered with blood.

Fan Xin rode a black wind horse to the Tubo woman and said with a cold expression.

"In the Tang Dynasty, we only have heroes who died in battle, but no cowards who surrendered!"

"It's your turn to surrender now!

The Tubo woman stared at Fan Xin fiercely, secretly hating herself for being careless and at the same time, she was even more frightened and angry.

She didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty had such a powerful cavalry army!

"You Tang people have betrayed your trust and attacked and killed the Tibetan army without permission. Aren't you afraid that Manager Wu and the Qin Governor will punish you?"

When things got to this point, she had no other choice. She could only hope that the people in front of her would be wary of Wu Liang's power and let her escape, and then figure it out later.

Hearing the names of these two people, Fan Xin frowned slightly and turned to look at Zhang Huan.

"What do these two guys do?"

"Back to the general, Wu Liang was transferred to the deputy general manager of Gannan Road March a few years ago. He is related by marriage to Song Jing, the prime minister of Fengge, and has great influence in the army."

"As for Qin Shu, I heard that he is the son-in-law of Nanyang County Prince and is deeply loved by him."

After hearing this, Fan Xin looked back at the Tubo woman in front of him.

"Are you saying that the surrender of Tibet was approved by Wu Liang and Qin Shu?"

"Of course, those who know better will let me go as soon as possible. Let's go to meet Manager Wu and Governor Qin together." The Tubo woman said proudly.

She just said that Wu Liang, that weakling, would definitely not make a mistake. It turned out to be reinforcements coming from other places.

As she expected, the Han general on horseback hesitated and did not kill her. He waved his hand and invited her into the carriage.

Looking at the back of the Tubo woman, Fan Xin's face flashed and he kept saying.

"Liuzi, what do you think?"

"Master Hui, this matter is indeed a bit strange. Wu Liang and Qin Shu have extensive connections in the court and are known as the iron generals of the Tang Dynasty. The general thinks it is a plan by the Tubo people to sow discord."

"I hope so."

Fan Xin let out a long sigh and ordered the army to put on Tibetan clothes and head towards Shanzhou City at night.

According to the agreement, one hour later will be the time for the Tang army to open the city and surrender.

Shanzhou, General Manager's Office.

At this time, it was a busy scene. Hundreds of servants were busy carrying gold, silver and jewelry, leaving only an empty house covered with white silk.

At this time, Zhou Qi trotted over, smiling and clasping his fists.

"For your information, Mr. Wu, I have made all preparations according to your instructions. All 60,000 troops have been deployed outside Ximen City, in a posture of fighting to the end."

"Then we pretended to fight with the Tibetan army, were defeated and captured, so that no one would accuse us of surrendering to the enemy and treason."

Wu Liang laughed, patted his shoulder with satisfaction, and sighed.

"Although we have no choice but to take a curveball strategy to save the country, public opinion cannot be ignored. Remember, when we go out to fight later, we will carry two coffins for me and the Qin Governor."

"Subordinate to obey!"

Seeing that it was almost time, Wu Liang put on his armor and a white silk ribbon on his head. He cut his subordinate's fingers with a knife and wrote two sentences on the white cloth at the door of the General Manager's Mansion.

"Wrapped in horse leather, this is our fate."

After finishing writing, he led a group of generals and generals to carry the coffin and marched tragically toward the west gate. Wherever he passed, the people knelt on the ground and cried, shouting that the chief steward was brave.

For a time, the whole city was filled with cries, and the sound was so loud that it reached the sky.

When they came to the city gate, Qin Governor and others were already waiting here. When they saw Wu Liang coming, they cupped their hands with a smile on their faces.

"Mr. Wu's move is really clever. This way we are no longer traitors that everyone calls for beating, but heroic national soldiers."

“No more worrying about someone poking you in the spine.”

Wu Liang waved his hands modestly and said proudly.

"The Governor of Qin has been rewarded. It's all for the sake of a better future. Calculating the time, the Tibetan army is coming soon. Let's treat it seriously, right?"

"Yes, treat it seriously!"

Qin's governor laughed and picked up the Fangtian Painted Halberd in his hand.

As time passed, densely packed figures finally appeared at the end of the horizon, which looked full of oppression from a distance.

Seeing this scene, Wu Liang and Qin's governor's eyes both had solemn expressions. They had been guarding the border for many years and could tell at a glance that this army was definitely a brave warrior.

When they meet on the battlefield, they can defeat the 60,000 troops behind them in an instant.

"I didn't expect that the Tubo people actually saved a hand. It was obviously 20,000 cavalry, but they told us that it was 10,000 infantry. We were almost fooled by them."

Wu Liang swallowed his saliva and said with lingering fear.

"Fortunately we surrendered to the Tibetans, otherwise we would have no chance of winning with only 20,000 cavalry."

The Qin governor took a deep breath, and with his legs weak, he was lifted onto the horse. According to the plan, he and Wu Liang would lead the charge.

Then he was captured by the Tubo people, who forced his 60,000 troops to surrender.

Seeing that it was almost time, Wu Liang and Qin Shu nodded to each other, shook their horse reins and rushed out with hundreds of people.

outside the city,

Fan Xin led 20,000 cavalry to a stop quietly, looking at the city in front of him with complicated eyes, where tens of thousands of troops stood with guns.

"General, let's dress up as Tubo people and come to the city. Whether the person on the other side is loyal or traitorous will be revealed soon."

After saying that, Zhang Huan snorted at the two prisoners.

"Come forward and shout, tell me that you are here to take over the city as agreed!"

Hearing this, the two prisoners quickly rode their fast horses to the city and shouted to Wu Liang and Qin Shu.

"The two generals have come to take over the city as agreed!"

Wu Liang and Wu Liang were both stunned, a little confused. Didn't the two sides agree in advance to stage a heroic sacrifice for the country? Why did they say it directly.

Worried about their reputation, the two did not answer the prisoner's words, but shouted angrily.

"Bah, don't talk nonsense. As officials of the Tang Dynasty, we naturally shoulder the responsibility of guarding the land. If you want the city, you have to step over us!"

Hearing these words, Fan Xin, who had a solemn expression on his face, showed a happy smile on his lips. It turned out that it was really a plan to alienate the Tibetan women, and their officials of the Tang Dynasty did not surrender to the Tibetans.

Thinking of this, Fan Xin winked at the two prisoners and motioned for them to continue. After receiving the instruction, the two continued to persuade.

"Two great generals, those who know the current affairs are heroes. Have you forgotten the conditions you agreed to before?"

Wu Liang and Qin Shu were so angry. The damn Tubo people were so damn untrustworthy. Could they say such a disgraceful thing as surrender in front of the whole city?

How will their family members live in Datang in the future? This is to force them to go to a dead end.

After thinking about this, the two exchanged glances and felt that they could not let the Tubo people talk anymore and must launch an attack as soon as possible and then defeat and surrender.

After making a decision in his heart, Wu Liang looked up to the sky and laughed, pointing the long grass in his hand at Fan Xin and others.

"It's ridiculous that a mere Tibetan kid wants to shake the morale of our Tang army! Today, I'm going to show you what a Tang general is!"

"kill!"

After giving the order, Wu Liang and Qin Shu took the lead and charged towards the 20,000 cavalry army. It seemed that they wanted to take the lead.

Looking at the two people who showed no fear, Fan Xin nodded happily.

"A poor family misses a good wife, and a country in crisis misses a good general. In order to defend the country's territory, the two generals took the lead in the charge. It is really unexpected. It seems that the commander-in-chief is overthinking."

"Zhang Huan, please bring a few skilled brothers up and invite them over to talk."

"Yes, General!"

Zhang Huan kicked the horse's belly, led a group of guards to meet the two generals who were rushing over, waving his arms and shouted loudly.

"Two generals, stop it quickly, we are our own!"

However, in Wu Liang's view, his words were obviously intended to expose their relationship with the Tubo people in public, and he became increasingly angry.

"Fuck your mother's stinky fart. Anyone who is one of you will be killed!"

Wu Liang shouted loudly, and stabbed the oncoming "Tufan" with the long grass in his hand like a poisonous dragon. Fortunately, Zhang Huan had experienced many battles and left the horse to hide at the moment when the long grass was stabbed.

Seeing the two generals hating the Tibetan people so much, the last trace of doubt in Zhang Huan's heart disappeared.

He reached behind Wu Liang with his toes in the air, struck him on the neck with his palm, and waited until Wu Liang fainted before driving the horse towards Fan Xin.

On the other side, the Qin governor was defeated faster, and was knocked unconscious by his guards in a few rounds.

When the two woke up again, they found themselves lying on the bed with a handsome young man standing beside the bed.

The two looked at each other and let out a long sigh of relief. After so many twists and turns, carrying the coffin through the market, and leading the charge, they finally survived until the Tibetans took over the city.

The person in front of him looks young, but he exudes a strong aura. At a glance, he can tell that he is a big shot who has been in a high position for a long time.

"I didn't expect that the famous General Chita would be so young."

Putting aside their shock, Wu Liang and the others got up from the bed and were about to kneel down and bow before the young man started laughing.

"The two generals are worthy of being known as the Iron Generals of the Tang Dynasty. They were extremely happy to see their prince that day."

"Ok?"

"My father-in-law?"

The two of them were stunned, and the smiles froze on their faces.

Seeing the strange expressions on the two men's faces, Fan Xin didn't think much about it. After all, his name was only circulated among the top officials of the imperial court, and officials at all levels below had rarely seen his true appearance. It was inevitable to be a little surprised when he suddenly saw him.

"You two, the person standing in front of you is the Duke of Yan, who is famous in the Tang Dynasty and has great power in the world. Why don't you pay tribute quickly?" Zhang Huan coughed and reminded him.

"What, you are Duke Yan?"

Wu Liang and Qin Shu were so shocked that they almost died of fright. They never expected that what was waiting for them was not the Tibetan army, but the imperial cavalry!

If Fan Xin knew that the two of them had defected to the enemy, wouldn't it be

When they thought of the scene where the whole family's heads were missing, the two of them slumped down on the ground with pale faces, cold sweat breaking out from their foreheads.

"My lord, look at this"

Zhang Huan also didn't expect that the two of them would be paralyzed by Fan Xin's reputation, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

Fortunately, Fan Xin didn't care about this and personally helped the two of them to the chairs and praised them.

"I have heard from the people that you carried the coffin to the battlefield. You have done a good job. You have composed the medal of honor of the Tang Dynasty with your heroism."

"After driving away the Tubo people, my father-in-law will personally advise the court and ask for credit for you two."

Wu Liang and Qin Shu had been in the officialdom for many years, and they were still able to understand the most basic things. After discovering that Fan Xin was not aware of their purpose, their expressions finally returned to normal.

He bowed respectfully and bowed, and said with tears of gratitude.

"I would like to thank you, Lord, for your promotion!"

"You two don't need to be polite. Shanzhou can only be defended because of loyal ministers like you. No praise is too much."

After signaling the two of them to sit down, Fan Xin changed the topic and mentioned Li Qingyuan.

"This time the imperial court has sent my prince here to regroup the army and regain his homeland, and to investigate the case of Li Qingyuan's defeat. You can tell me whatever you know."

"My lord, I'm still very angry when I talk about this Li Qingyuan. He's so stubborn that he doesn't listen to advice."

"Knowing that the main force of the enemy army was entrenched in Dafeichuan, I insisted on leading the army on an expedition. As a result, I fell into the enemy's trick and was surrounded in Dafeichuan area."

"If the two of us hadn't risked our lives to rescue them, none of the 60,000 troops in the city would have survived."

Fan Xin nodded thoughtfully, and finally smiled at the two of them.

"Okay, it's getting late today. The two generals should go back and have a rest. We will discuss sending troops tomorrow."

"Yes, Lord Guo."

Wu Liang and the others bowed and exited.

Looking at the two figures, Zhang Huan frowned and said, "Do you think these two people's words are not credible?"

Fan Xin shook his head: "That's not true, but as far as I know, Li Qingyuan marched in secret on the day he sent troops."

"But I don't want to be surrounded by the Tibetan army in the Dafeichuan area. Zhang Huan, don't you think the Tibetan people know too much?"

Zhang Huan was shocked and looked at Fan Xin in disbelief.

"My lord, do you mean there are Tibetan spies among the garrison?"

"Yes, only a few generals know Li Qingyuan's marching route. If there is a spy, he should be among them!"

When the word spy was mentioned, Fan Xin's eyes flashed with light. In fact, as soon as he came to Shanzhou, he met with generals who were qualified to have access to core military information.

There are ten people in total, including Wu Liang and Qin Shu. Except for Wu Liang and Qin Shu, who are not suspected, the other eight people have serious suspicions.

So when he holds a military meeting tomorrow, he plans to give the spies who have sneaked in here a plan to lure the snake out of its hole!

While Fan Xin was thinking about how to lure out the spies hidden in the upper echelons of the army, Wu Liang and Qin Shu were also discussing in secret.

"Brother Qin, what should we do? If someone named Fan finds out that we betrayed Li Qingyuan, will we be cut into pieces?"

Wu Liang said worriedly.

Qin Shu rubbed his temples and sighed: What else can be done? Of course, we should unite with the Tubo people to get rid of this evil star as soon as possible.

I will send a reliable person to Heyuan early tomorrow morning to tell them about this and see what General Chita has to say. (End of chapter)
