Yipin Tang

Chapter 383
Only then did everyone remember that Haitang is not only the daughter of the great general Hou Junji, but also a strange person who can lift a thousand-jin bronze lion. Competing with her is just asking for humiliation. Returns the back column of .

Li Shimin looked around at the generals of His Highness, and said indifferently: "Why is no one talking?"

Sensing the awkward atmosphere in the hall, Changsun Wuji coughed lightly, cupped his hands and said, "The battle ahead is urgent, and the most urgent thing is to send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Li Shimin snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Haitang and said, "The battlefield is not a child's play, life may be in danger at any time, are you really not afraid?"

Haitang looked up at Li Shimin and said firmly, "Haitang is not afraid!"

"Okay!" Li Er laughed loudly, "In ancient times, Hua Mulan joined the army instead of her father, today I will give you a chance, Haitang listens to the order!"

Haitang was overjoyed when she heard the words, she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to listen respectfully.

"The Turkic wolves are ambitious. They invaded the Tang Dynasty several times and plundered our people. I was very angry. I ordered Haitang, the daughter of the general Hou Junji, to lead [-] troops to help King Zhao repel the Turks and promote the power of the Tang Dynasty!"

A few days ago, a king with a different surname was just named, and today a female general was appointed to lead the army to fight. Although Wei Zheng felt that this move was not in line with the imperial calendar, he did not speak out against it. The royal party is in chaos, and the people are miserable. At this time, a capable person is really needed to lead the battle.

Even Wei Zheng, a smelly and tough old man, didn't say a word, and the others naturally had no objections, so Haitang became the first female general in history with a legitimate name.

After the discussion in the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin took Changsun Wuji and others to see the black guards that Haitang mentioned. All 33 of them were tall and mighty Kunlun slaves. What was different from the Kunlun slaves we usually saw was the expressions on their faces. It's not sluggish and honest, but violent and sturdy, which makes people feel fearful at first glance.

Of the 33 black guards, 12 possessed supernatural powers. The others did not have the supernatural power to lift a thousand catties, but they were still much stronger than ordinary soldiers. The more Li Shimin looked at it, the more satisfied he was. Wang Xiang, who was missing, hated Tubo even more in his heart.

After Tubo retreated and asked to surrender, Li Shimin asked people to escort Li Zhi and others back to Chang'an. However, they were unwilling to come back after learning the news of Wang Xiang's disappearance. , but he knew in his heart that the possibility of finding Wang Xiang was very small, because he knew that Wang Xiang had the ability to disappear out of thin air, and no one knew where he went after disappearing.

Only Wu Shun knew Wang Xiang's secret, so she didn't care about the search. After learning the news of Wang Xiang's disappearance, she moved to live in the border city of Lingnan. If he comes back, he will definitely appear in the place where he disappeared.

Many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty saw the scene of Wang Xiang being pierced by a short spear through his chest. Such an injury was a fatal injury, so they all thought that Wu Shun was too sad to accept this fact. Let her go.

Only Wu Shun firmly believed that Wang Xiang was still alive, and Wu Shun, who was already weak, became thinner and thinner day by day.

When Haitang, who was training black guards in Chang'an, got the news of Wang Xiang's accident, the battle in Lingnan was over.

"Wang Zixin, I will definitely look for you when I defeat Turkic, you must be fine..."

Gathering up her mood, Haitang turned her horse's head and led 33 Black Guards and [-] troops to gallop northwest.

At this time, the border of the Tang Dynasty was desolate and desolate, and the places where the Turkic army passed were all looted. They had no food and grass supplies, and they relied on looting the towns they captured along the way, and the people suffered unspeakably.

Gaochang and Yanqi also fell into the hands of the Turks. The trading market and Chinatown established by Wang Xiang in Gaochang had long since lost their original prosperity.

Zhang Kuishan led Ma Wenxin and a group of men to avoid the Turkic army and fled around in the Western Regions. Hearing that the general Hou Junji led the troops to guard Juyongguan, he wanted to go to seek refuge, but he did not expect that Juyongguan fell before they arrived.

The Turks are good at attacking but not defending. After taking Juyongguan, they did not leave a single soldier to defend, so Zhang Kuishan led his people into the Tang Dynasty very smoothly.

"Ten miles ahead of the Turkic camp is the Tang's military camp. I heard that King Zhao sent by His Majesty is one of the most powerful generals in the world. Turkic leader Tulu can't get cheap in his hands, and there is also the great general Li Jing. Sit in the army, as long as we get there, we will be safe." After all, he was a border guard, and although he has been engaged in construction in the Western Regions since then, Zhang Kuishan is still very clear about the situation on the battlefield.

Hearing what Zhang Kuishan said, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They were already exhausted from avoiding the Turkic pursuit along the way, and naturally wanted to get Tang Jun's protection as soon as possible.

"Master Ma, please listen to the movement of the Turkic army." Zhang Kuishan said to Ma Wenxin who was following behind.

Ma Wenxin is now also the seventh-rank master book of Zhenger Bajing. Wang Xiang asked for this official position from Li Er on his behalf. In Tang Dynasty, the whole Gaochang fell into the hands of the Turks, and his post as the master book naturally became vacant.

Speaking of it, Ma Wenxin is really hard-pressed, a dignified Luoyang talent, first he was robbed of the limelight by Wang Xiang at the Jinguang Lake Poetry Fair, and finally entered the Literary Museum of Wei Wang and Li Tai. To whitewash himself with the names of the Four Great Talents, it is hopeless to rely on the Literature Museum to get ahead.After leaving the Literature Museum, he was tempted to participate in the sale of smuggled salt, but he fell into the hands of the Turks.Fortunately, he was rescued by Wang Xiang, an envoy from Xizhou. Ma Wenxin was found guilty of selling illicit salt and got a job in Xizhou. Not long after, he became the master of the seventh rank. To develop the Western Regions, who would have imagined that the Turks, who had just been honest for a long time, suddenly went crazy and invaded the Tang Dynasty. Gaochang suffered the brunt of the disaster, and Ma Wenxin lived a life of fleeing again.

However, while fleeing, he discovered that he had a magical ability, that is, he could clearly hear whispered conversations in the distance. It was because of his special ability that Zhang Kuishan and others were able to avoid the pursuit of Turkic soldiers many times.

Ma Wenxin was proficient in many foreign languages, and with his special ability, he could easily inquire about Turkic news. After hearing Zhang Kuishan's words, Ma Wenxin nodded and listened carefully. Everyone else looked at him and kept silent.
