Dragon fights in Tang Dynasty

On October 15st, 21th year of Zhenguan, the official time of day, the winter sun rose slowly from the horizon, not very warm, but the pale golden sunlight was still enough to dispel the not too thick morning fog on the grassland, revealing Withered grass all over the ground and hoarfrost all over the ground, although the sun has come out, it is still very cold, and the breath is enough to form clouds of white mist. Hou Guozhong, who got up early in the morning, was bored on the Great Wall. Walking up and down, occasionally glancing at the silent prairie, is just killing some time.

One day has passed since the capture of the Hukou Xiong Pass, but the Xue Yantuo tribe who was expected to come to attack the pass has never been seen. This makes Hou Guozhong feel empty, with an indescribable sense of loss. But there is still a trace of luck mixed in, without him, even though he has been through life and death several times, maybe if he doesn't risk his life to fight, who really wants to bump into the field of life and death by himself, doesn't he?It's just that when he thought of Li Zhen, the king of Yue, Hou Guozhong immediately felt extremely upset. He really didn't know where he should put Li Zhen. Hou Guozhong had thought about it countless times over the past month, but he still couldn't find the answer. Therefore, This time Li Zhen sent him to kill the tiger's mouth, not only did Hou Guozhong not feel dismissed, but he seemed much more relaxed because he was able to leave Li Zhen's side for a while.

Let's talk about the future, maybe when His Highness the Crown Prince ascends the throne, everything will be solved?Hou Guozhong laughed at himself. To be honest, he himself was not sure whether the prince's virtue could really wait until the day he ascended the throne, and he didn't understand why his father had to stand by the prince's side. Son, there are some things that cannot be chosen independently, and all of these may be destiny.Hou Guozhong took one last look at the prairie where the morning mist had cleared, turned around and walked towards the watchtower at the pass, planning to have breakfast first before making any fuss, but before he could leave, suddenly there was a mournful sound from the tall watchtower in the distance. The sound of the horn - the enemy finally appeared!

Although a lot of manpower was lost in the dispatch of troops this time, looking at the carts of belongings behind him, Qu Lishuo was still in a very good mood. Without him, as long as there are belongings, people will be easy to manage, and they can annex as many as they like. It's a small tribe, so there aren't enough people?It is not certain that Ba Ye Gubu will flourish.Thinking of the possibility that Ba Ye Gu Bu might be able to replace Xue Yantuo as the new overlord of the grassland in the future, Qu Lishu felt as if he had eaten honey, bubbling with beauty.Qu Lishi felt that he was an extremely wise master for being able to withdraw decisively and first, but it was a pity that his good mood could not be maintained—Tang Jun!The outpost ranger sent back accurate news: Killing the tiger has fallen into the hands of Tang Jun!

"What? How did this happen!" Qu Lishi stared at a pair of bull's-eyes, and pulled up the ranger who was kneeling in front of him. His face was full of viciousness, and the unfortunate ranger fainted from fright. past.

"Bastard!" In a rage, Qu Lishi threw the hapless guy in his hand like a torn sack, and shouted loudly: "Ba Ye Tuo, Ba Ye Tuo, his mother!" Yes, bring your people up, and take the tiger-killing mouth to Lao Tzu!"

"Wait a minute, Commander!" The high priest Nalong who rushed over hastily ran to the front in three steps at a time, and said loudly: "Commander, the enemy's situation is unknown, so don't start the war lightly, it is better to send someone to talk about it first." Let's talk about the conditions and see if Tang Jun is willing to let me pass the test. Even if it doesn't make sense, we can take the opportunity to find out the truth and make a decision."

As soon as Qu Lishi saw Nalong appearing, he immediately felt a little embarrassing - Nalong had advised him not to take the short cut of Shahukou in the early morning yesterday. Yungang, it's a pity that at that time, Qu Lishi wanted to go back to the grassland earlier, so he didn't take Nalong's suggestion, and stubbornly insisted on going to the tiger's mouth. Now that Nalong's prophecy has come true, Qu Lishi is greatly moved It's embarrassing, when Nalong suggested to negotiate, Qu Lisuo didn't insist any more, but muttered, "Who should I send?"

Nalong straightened his clothes, sighed and said, "Then let me go."

"No, if you have an emergency, then..." Qu Li shook his head vigorously and said: "No, absolutely not!"

Nalong smiled wryly and said: "Commander, only one of the nearly ten thousand people in my Bayegu tribe understands the etiquette of Tang people. Besides, this idea came from someone. If someone doesn't go, who else can go?"

"Hey!" Qu Lishi stomped his feet heavily and said, "Since the high priest must go, let Ba Yetuo accompany him to protect him."

Nalong didn't say anything more, just bowed to Qu Lishi, and led Ba Yetuo, holding a white flag, and a group of two people galloped towards the Shahukou in the distance.

"Ha, old Liu, those two guys with white flags must have come to play against our army. I will play with them later. Old Liu, you should lead someone to hide, and don't teach people to see through the truth of our army. "On the tall watchtower, Hou Guozhong frowned when he saw Nalong and his horse galloping towards him, and he had already guessed the purpose of Nalong's visit, so he immediately said to Liu Tietao with a smile.

Liu Tietao, cavalry cavalry of the Yanmen Gate, said worriedly: "General Hou, you should go down and go. If the other party cheats, you have to guard against it."

"It doesn't matter, I'm confident that the two of you can't do anything about Hou, so it's settled." Hou Guozhong laughed, and led several guards under him to hurriedly leave the city, and rode on his horse to meet Nalong Er who was rushing straight forward. People greeted them.

"The general has invited you. This is Nalong, the high priest of the Baye Ancient Department. I would like to inform you, the general. I would like to meet with the general of your army. I have important matters to discuss." Nalong, holding a white flag, galloped to the mountain At the foot, when he saw Hou Guozhong who was already waiting there, he immediately smiled and said.

Hou Guozhong apparently didn't expect that Nalong could speak fluent Mandarin, with a standard Chang'an accent. He couldn't react for a while, so he was stunned for a while, looked at Nalong carefully for a while, and then replied coldly: "Some That is, I have something to say but it’s okay to say it.”

"Oh? Dare I ask what the general's name is?" Naron asked without changing his smile.

Hou Guozhong said in a calm voice: "This general's surname is Hou. If you want to see what is going on with this general, tell me!"

"Ah, it turned out to be General Hou, the people who are outsiders are polite." Nalong bowed immediately, greeted politely, and continued with a smile: "General Hou, the matter I want to talk about next is important, why don't you and I come in?" Guan sit down and discuss it slowly?"

Hou Guozhong had seen through Nalong's plan a long time ago, how could he be moved by Nalong's words, he sneered and said: "No need, I have never had much in common with the robbers, so if you have anything to say, I will say it here. Go ahead and fight.”

"General Hou's words are wrong. I, Ba Yegu, have always been close to the Tang Dynasty. A certain person once studied in Chang'an. I yearn for the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. This time, our department entered the Tang Dynasty, but I was forced to do so. Helpless, I don't really want to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty, I can swear to the sky on this one, and this is also the reason why our department no longer obeys Xue Yantuo's dispatch and returns to the grassland first, and I hope the general will find out." Nalong was not sneered by Hou Guozhong's sarcastic remarks Enraged, he still explained with a smile.

"Oh? Hahaha..." Hou Guozhong laughed loudly. After a long burst of laughter, he suddenly put away his smile and said coldly: "What a yearning, you will violate my border, kill my people, rape There is no calculation, this is what I said my heart yearns for, hey, good, good, good! Go away, fight if you want to fight, surrender if you don't fight, why are there so many nonsense!"

Hou Guozhong's words were very harsh, but Nalong was unmoved, and still smiled and said: "The general misunderstood, hehe, the general has led the army for a long time, he must be a person who is proficient in the art of war, Hu Buzhi, the soldier sage Zeng Yun: Return to the teacher Huh? You and our armies fight to the death, wouldn’t it be in vain to take advantage of Xue Yantuo’s department, hehe, our department has now turned against Xue Yantuo, don’t you know that the enemy’s enemy is your friend? Please think twice about these two points.”

Hou Guozhong really didn't expect that Nalong could say such high-quality words, and he was secretly vigilant, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just replied coldly: "Open your mouth, hum, you don't want to It's okay to fight, and how to deal with your sage will have his own opinions, please go back."

"General Hou, you..." Nalong wanted to say something more, but Hou Guozhong no longer gave him a chance, and waved his hand coldly: "I will give you time to think about it for a stick of incense, get out, otherwise don't It's my fault that I will take the sacrificial knife!" Seeing that Hou Guozhong and the others had already drawn out the horizontal knife, although Nalong was unwilling, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and under the escort of Ba Yetuo who also drew out the waist knife, Hastily hit the horse and retreated.

"High Priest, what did they say?" Seeing Nalong's return, Qu Lishi rushed forward and asked.

"Hey!" Nalong shook his head and said, "Commander, the enemy general is resolute, and this battle cannot be fought. While there is still time, our department should quickly detour to Yungang, and it will take half a day at night, even if you want to make a detour." Got it."

Qu Lishi spun around like a raging lion for a while, then stopped suddenly, staring at the direction of Shahukouguan City with his bloodshot and red eyes, and suddenly roared: "Hit, hit me!" , Ba Yetuo, take your people to take Guancheng for Lao Tzu, go!"

Hearing that Qu Lishi insisted on hitting, Nalong's face turned pale immediately, his lips moved and he wanted to say something more, but seeing Qu Lishu's distorted face due to anger, he still didn't say anything at the end, Only a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.As soon as Ba Yetuo heard that he was going to fight, he immediately became excited. Without him, since yesterday, Ba Yetuo has been eating turtles one after another. In response, he excitedly ran to gather the troops and prepare the siege tools.

At the right time, the shrill horn sounded in the morning sun, and a bloody battle kicked off...
