Chapter 572: Xue Wanche is in a dilemma
The carriage moved slowly, Xiao Yuexian's beautiful face was as pale as paper, she hugged Yang Tong tightly, put her head against her husband's shoulder socket, and her soft delicate body trembled. The short and violent assassination did not affect Yang Tong, but for Xiao Yuexian, who had just become pregnant, the impact was huge, and when she was still immersed in the joy of being a mother, she almost lost her husband......
She arched lightly twice, found the most comfortable position, and then said softly, "I was so scared just now." ”
Yang Tong looked at her face, felt even more pity in his heart, patted her on the back, and comforted: "I'm not a good person, it's all over!" Don't be afraid ......"
"Husband, aren't the people of Qihui Dao outsiders? Why should we get involved in earthly strife? Xiao Yuexian raised her head, her beautiful eyes shining like jewels, and her beautiful eyes were covered with a faint mist.
"What kind of outsider is Qihui? His means of accumulating wealth are only higher than those of Buddhism! Yang Tong sneered and snorted coldly: "There are hundreds of thousands of hectares of good land in Guanzhong, and there are as many as 10,000 yuan of money and property confiscated, and there are countless treasures of all kinds. It is conceivable how huge the wealth of this Buddha and the Tao is. They use religion to confuse believers and achieve the goal of frantically accumulating wealth, which has long deviated from the teachings and original intentions of the Buddha and the Tao to help the world. ”
"Aren't they all cheap husbands in the end?"
Xiao Yuexian turned over and sat upright, holding his face with both hands, staring affectionately, the love in her eyes was so strong that she couldn't dissolve......
Yang Tong was stared at a little by her bright eyes: "Is it that the emperor is too good-looking, so that Concubine Hui can't put it down and has deep roots?" ”
Xiao Yuexian showed a sweet smile: "It's just a bit violent......"
Yang Tong's smile suddenly froze, "Stinky woman looking for a cigarette?" ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Yuexian was as delicate as a flower, and the fragrant kiss had already fallen on his lips.
For a long time, the lips parted.
Yang Tong pecked on her plump fresh lips again, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, it's not that you cheapen me, but take it from the people and return it to the people!" This is the ...... of benefiting the world and all sentient beings."
"There are millions of believers in Louguan Dao, and there are even more Buddhists, and I am worried that they will continue to assassinate their husbands." Xiao Yuexian sighed lightly.
Yang Tong felt a burst of warmth in her heart, it turned out that she was worried about herself, staring at the pair of deep pool-like beautiful eyes, with a hint of determination in her tone: "A manly man, if you are afraid of this and that, what ambition do you have to dominate the world." ”
"Husband, aren't you afraid at all?" Xiao Yuexian looked at Yang Tong curiously.
"Get used to it." Yang Tong said lightly: "As a high-ranking person, you should at least be mentally prepared to face all kinds of dangers. The enemy does not know how to follow the rules, just like on the battlefield, in order to defeat his own enemy, he will do everything he can, and the political struggle is a hundred times more cruel than the enemy on the surface. ”
Xiao Yuexian was silent, for her who grew up in a greenhouse, the war with a clear knife and a gun was already a very cruel thing, but thinking of today's assassination, Xiao Yuexian suddenly felt that this world was really cruel.
"Husband, do you know who sent someone to assassinate you?" After a long time, Xiao Yuexian raised her head and asked.
"Li Yuan, Li Mi, Lin Shihong, Meng Haigong, Feng An, Shijia, and even Goguryeo, Silla, Turkic, and Tuyuhun are all possible, and of course it may be Qihui's own idea. In this world, there are many people who want our family's lives. Looking at Xiao Yuexian's worried face, Yang Tong smiled: "Scared? ”
"With a husband here, I'm not afraid!" Xiao Yuexian glanced at Yang Tong cautiously: "Husband, what did you do?" Let them hate you so much? Do not hesitate to break the laws of war. ”
"The so-called cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents. And I took what wasn't supposed to belong to them, and they hated me for being normal...... As for the laws of war! In fact, it is very simple, it is nothing more than that the winner is king, the loser is the villain, and the process and means are not important at all. You're pregnant, so don't worry about all this mess. Yang Tong smiled and said, "You are also tired, so you can sleep." ”
Xiao Yuexian stretched out her arm to hook Ailang's neck, her eyes were confused, and she begged coquettishly: "I want my husband to accompany me." ”
The snow shone on her face through the window line, shimmering with a bright white porcelain color, and between words, the pale pretty face gradually returned to its normal flush, and there was a kind of happiness overflowing from the heart.
Yang Tong was a little stunned, will the change of women be so great?
"See what?" Xiao Yuexian bit her lip lightly, the two were already a veritable husband and wife, she was pregnant with her husband's flesh and blood, and her speech was not as restrained as before, she glanced at him coquettishly, "Haven't you seen enough?" “
"Can't get enough of it in a lifetime?"
Xiao Yuexian smiled, stretched out her jade fingers, and stroked his face, her eyes were full of affection and sweetness, but she was a little shy, smiled lightly, and whispered: "I'll show you when I have time, so that you can see enough." ”
Yang Tong's heart fluttered, if it weren't for the fact that she was just pregnant, he really wanted to come to him for a shock.
Xiao Yuexian's mood fluctuated, and she was comforted by her husband's soft words, and soon fell asleep.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The rest of the trip was calm, but thousands of miles away on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it was full of blood.
The rumbling horse's hooves slammed heavily on the cold ground, and the cold air was mixed with a little panic, and the man on horseback was already very tired, his face was full of horror, and he waved the horsewhip wildly with one arm, and whipped the horse that sat down fiercely, and looked back from time to time, as if something terrifying was chasing him.
Behind him, there were dozens of Tuyuhun warriors who were just as embarrassed as him, their expressions were similar to those of the leader of the broken arm, all of them had a look of horror and panic, even if they were exhausted, but no one had no intention of stopping.
The face of the leader of the severed arm at the front was already pale, and he neatly severed his right arm, constantly dripping with blood, and his clothes and mount were stained with a large amount of blood, which looked extremely terrifying.
"Huh~"
The icy sound of breaking the sky was particularly harsh in the cold wind of hunting, like a talisman that made the knight's face on horseback even paler.
"Poof~"
A streamer crossed the sky, accurately submerged into the man's vest with a broken arm, and burst out of his chest, the burly body of the man with a broken arm trembled, and his body was brought forward by the huge inertia of the arrow, coupled with excessive blood loss, the whole person pounced forward, and fell to the galloping war horse, the big hooves of the bowl crushed his chest, and a pair of round eyes with a little relief in it, as if it was a very happy thing for him to be able to say goodbye to this world.
The knights around them didn't seem to see their leader dead, and no one paused for a moment, not even a single glance, they just swung their whips a little faster.
Not long after the dozens of frightened Tuyuhun knights passed, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded again, and the first thing that caught the eye was a flowing black flame-like horse, but what was even more eye-catching was the knight on the horse's back, which was daunting.
"Phew~"
Wei Chigong gently lifted the reins, and the high-speed war horse suddenly stood up, and stopped next to the inhuman-shaped corpse.
Behind him, the sound of horses' hooves slowly approached, Xue Wanche, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili rode their horses to Yu Chigong, looked down at the corpse, and his face couldn't help but change in unison, Qiu Shili snorted angrily: "No. ”
Xue Wanche, Yu Chigong and Niu Jinda looked at the dead people, there was not much expression on their faces, they attacked thousands of miles, after defeating Xue Rengao, they directly attacked the big tribe where the Western Qin tribe was, the defense of the Western Qin tribe was unexpectedly fragile, and they were caught off guard, and they were easily broken by the elite of the coalition led by Xue Wanche, and then, it was a five-day pursuit, all the way from the Western Qin tribe to the Tuyuhun Khan Court - near Jiyu City, who would have thought that it was Xue Renyue's puppet that was killed in the end, which made them feel that they had been tricked.
"Humph!" Looking at the puppet in disguise of the Tuyuhun people, Wei Chigong felt irritability in his chest, and suddenly slammed the reins of the horse, the BMW trotted two steps, and the huge horse's hooves stepped on the round and smooth head like a watermelon.
The captain stepped forward with a Tuyuhun who was tied up with five flowers, pointed to the inhuman-shaped corpse on the ground, and shouted, "Who is he?" ”
"He is Zong Luozan, the younger brother of Zong Luohu."
Seeing the corpse of that person, the soldier's face changed, and when he saw the cold eyes of everyone, he hurriedly said: "In order to lead away the general's heavenly army, he pretended to be Xue Renyue." ”
The cold look on Xue Wanche's face thawed slightly, he dismounted silently, looked at Zong Luozan's corpse, and bowed, no matter what happened before his death, but since Zong Luozan was dead, everything in his life naturally disappeared with his death, at least Zong Luozan's death did not insult the honor of the soldiers, this person's loyalty, even if he is an enemy, is worthy of everyone's admiration.
Seeing this, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, and Qiu Shili also dismounted silently and saluted Zong Luozan.
"It's a loyal general, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person." Xue Wanche waved his hand and motioned for the guards to step forward, "Loyal people must not be dishonored." Whoever comes, bury him near him, and bury him in the ground. ”
"Whoa!"
Several soldiers stepped forward and dragged Zong Luozan aside to bury him.
"This time, on the order of the Holy Lord, he made a surprise attack on Tuyuhun, firstly, to seek justice for the Silk Road merchants, and secondly, to do his best to weaken Tuyuhun's strength, so that he and the Tubo barbarians were at the same level, lest it make a comeback. The strength of the Western Qin Xue clan has been completely annihilated, and the forces directly under Murong Fuyun have not reached the point of breaking their muscles and bones, if we fail to complete the task, what face do we have to meet the saint? ”
Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda, Qiu Shili and others did not participate in the Central Plains War, they watched their colleagues make meritorious contributions and were greedy. After receiving Yang Tong's edict, they converged together, and led the army across Xihai County non-stop, directly attacking Tuyuhun, everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, ready to make a vigorous achievement, and let the people of the world know that they are not eating dry rice.
No matter how brilliant the Western Qin Xue clan was, but in the eyes of several of them, the Western Qin Xue clan was just an extra gain that had nothing to do with the task, and it was not as important as the army of Murong Fuyun, the great Khan of Tuyuhun, but Murong Fuyun, the old man, was very smart, and the people sent to meet him were some miscellaneous forces that were not very obedient to him, and finally achieved the goal of annihilating them one by one by borrowing the hands of the enemy, although he lost a lot, However, it also caused the composition of Tuyuhun's army to become more pure. In a sense, Da Sui was helping him temper the army and remove impurities.
This result, whether it is Yang Tong, Xue Wanche and other generals, do not want to see it. Because it is impossible for the Sui army to fight on the plateau all the time, once it retreats, Murong Fuyun will be able to annex various tribes with absolute military strength, so that Tuyuhun can be condensed into a country with one heart and one command, and the army will also be more combative.
And Tuyuhun began to have friction with Tubo, is still in an era of ignorance, whether it is cohesion, or well-equipped, military level, are far inferior to Tuyuhun, if the two are allowed to go to war, Tuyuhun will soon be able to annihilate it, once Tuyuhun occupies the vast territory of Tubo, in a few years, it will become a great power in the southwest of the Great Sui, when the Great Sui eases up, Tuyuhun's national strength will be unprecedentedly strong, and it will become the strongest enemy of the Great Sui, when the time comes, even if the Great Sui does not move, Tuyuhun will also develop northward, threatening Xihai and other counties, and even cutting off the Silk Road again. Therefore, if the development of Tuyuhun is not restricted, it will definitely become a confidant of the Great Sui in the future. As long as the process of reunification of the southwest is dragged out for three or five years, then the unified and restored Great Sui can completely settle the southwest in one battle and destroy Tuyuhun and Tubo, which were defeated by both sides.
It is precisely for this reason that Yang Tong asked Tuyuhun to attack the black cauldron of the Silk Road and strangle it before the great development. He was afraid that Wei Chigong and other generals would not know the far-reaching significance of this battle, so he also wrote clearly and clearly on the edict.
As the executors of the strategy, Xue Wanche, Wei Chigong, Niu Jinda and others knew the significance of this battle, which was no worse than the Central Plains War, and if from a national point of view, it was far stronger than the Central Plains Unification War. But the problem now is that Murong Fuyun has gathered Tuyuhun large and small tribes to Jiyu City, if he can't shrink back, there is no siege equipment, and the coalition army with insufficient numbers will fall into a situation of no food, not only can not complete the task of weakening Tuyuhun's vitality, but also the danger of being defeated by running out of food.
"Since Murong Fuyun is a shrinking turtle, then he will set foot on the Tuyuhun tribe around Jiyu City, regardless of men and women, they will all be executed, so that Murong Fuyun will only have one Jiyu City left, and there will be no herdsmen, I will see how he raises troops and how he recovers!" Xue Wanche snorted, and his voice was full of murderous intent.
"Xue Shuai." Qiu Shili smiled bitterly: "The soldiers have not closed their eyes for several days in this series of attacks, and they have suffered a lot of losses. ”
Xue Wanche wanted to say something, but when he looked back, he saw the generals around him, his eyes were bloodshot, and even when he stopped at this moment, he felt an indescribable tiredness, and he was silent for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How about the losses of our army?" How many people are still there? ”
A trace of bitterness swept over the corner of Qiu Shili's mouth: "The last general brought 30,000 coalition troops from the Western Regions, and now there are less than 20,000. In fact, there are not many people who die on the battlefield, most of them are injured and lose too much blood, so that their weak bodies and bones cannot resist the bad weather, and they fall asleep and die of sleep, which is also an important reason why our army has not seriously injured soldiers! ”
When Qiu Shili said this, he regretted in his heart, although these were extraterritorial coalition forces, they were soldiers brought out by him and Su Dingfang, after several years of indoctrination, they were loyal to the Great Sui, and they were by no means inferior to the soldiers of the Sui army. This can be seen from their behavior of fighting thousands of miles and still having no regrets.
"Xue Shuai, the soldiers have reached the limit, if they are forced to fight, not only will they not be effective, but I am afraid that there is also a danger of mutiny. As the saying goes, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and the last general thinks that our army should have a good rest. Chusli suggested.
Xue Wanche pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Immediately set up camp, repair in place for three days, and be careful of the enemy's attack!" ”
"Whoa!" Chushli breathed a sigh of relief.
With the order to rest and recuperate, the coalition soldiers were overjoyed.
