The next morning, behind the battlements of Gyeongju City, the guards in dirty robes slowly woke up in the ash bottles and piles of sandalwood, and then they lay behind the broken women's wall, looking at the incredible phenomenon under the rising sun:

In the mountainous wilderness east and west of the Maling River in the north of the city, the camp tents of the Xifan and the Dangxiang siege that were originally densely covered here like a sea of sand seemed to have changed overnight, and in the valley behind them, the dust that covered the sky and the sun was raised, accompanied by the deafening sound of horses' hooves and the cries of cattle.

"The thief, the thief has retreated." At first, the Tang soldiers who were defending the city couldn't believe what they were seeing.

But soon, the shouts of "the thief has retreated" became louder and more excited, and many of the guards stood up, jumping, and raising their hands high, all of them feeling revived.

For such a long time, under the endless offensive of various siege equipment in Xifan, the Tang soldiers of less than 3,000 in Gyeongju City, under the leadership of the assassin Shi Wei Ming, finally stubbornly defended this city!

But the losses were also very heavy, and those who died in battle, wounded, and sick died are now less than 1,000 defenders in Gyeongju City.

At this moment, in the thunderous cheers, Lun Weiming's fist smashed on the rammed earth at the battlement, and tears flowed down his beard, dripping on it, soaking a large area of loess.

There are mixed feelings.

Because what he has in his body is actually the blood of the Ka family in Xifan.

This kind of identity makes Ma Chongying's defense of Gyeongju City particularly subtle.

The Ka family is the great nobles of Western Tibet, and its most famous figure is called Non Qinling. Dongzan's son, together with four brothers, took charge of the military and political power of Xibo during the reign of Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan in Xifan (650-676), and began to attack from all sides, competing with Tang for hegemony in the Western Regions, in the first year of Xianheng (670) Qinling was the commander of the Western Fan army, and defeated the famous Tang general Xue Rengui in Dafeichuan, and tens of thousands of Tang troops were exhausted, and then defeated the 180,000 Tang army of Li Jingxuan in the Tang Dynasty at Qinghai Lake. After the death of Mangsong Mangzan, Qinling was the great theory of Xifan, assisting the young lord Chidu Songzan, the Tang Dynasty was deeply afraid, and then the Qinling continued to be in Anxi, Hexi and other places, and the Tang Dynasty famous generals Pei Xingjian, Heiya Changzhi, Lou Shide, Guo Yuanzhen and so on launched a long and wonderful contest.

But with the growth of the Chidu Songtsen, the autocratic Lun Qinling gradually dissatisfied, the contradiction between the Zampu royal family and the Ka family deepened, the Chidu Songtsan thought that the Ka clan was in danger of usurping power, and his suspicion of it became more and more intense, it is said that the Chidu Songtsan also wrote a long poem to express his hostility and contempt for the Lun Qinling:

"Gabu Valley (Gabu, is the fiefdom of the Ka family),

The commoners want to be kings,

The Karma wanted to be king.

Toad (蛤蛤?) I want to fly,

The spring wants to flow backwards,

The rock wants to roll backwards,

Time to think ...... (This was added by Sulla himself)"

Finally, in 699 A.D., in the name of hunting, the young Zampu attacked the Qinling of Qinghai, and the Qinling committed suicide, and more than 2,000 members of the Kar family were slaughtered.

However, Qinling's younger brother Zanpo and son Gongren escaped, where did they flee? Don, of course. It is said that Gong Ren also recited a poem later, which was very miserable:

"The wife crosses the mountain,

Aiko was left behind.

Farewell fathers and elders of Caoba,

Mother and sister send each other off.

From now on, my Lord is,

Tang Wang's name is San Lang (San Lang, it should be Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, so this poem should not have been written in the Wu Zetian era). ”

Zanpo and Gongren who voted for the Tang Dynasty were warmly welcomed by Wu Zetian, and then they took "Lun" as their surname in Tang Tu, and the whole clan was really loyal to the Tang Dynasty: Gongren fought for Tang Xuanzong to conquer the Western Regions, and finally became the deputy ambassador of Shuofang, and gave it to the king of Bachuan County; His son talked about Chengjie, sold all his wealth during the Anshi Rebellion, took all his servants to join the forbidden army, defended Emperor Suzong, and was crowned the king of Wuwei County.

And on Chengjie has four sons, Huaiyi, Weizhen, Weixian, and Weiming, all of whom are deeply trusted and have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, this repulsion of the invasion of Gyeongju by Western Tibet is of great significance to Lu Weiming.

"Finally, I finally lived up to the prestige of the Ka family, and I kept this Gyeongju city for Your Majesty! It didn't end up like Yanzhou City......" said Lun Weiming slowly knelt under the women's wall, clenched his fists.

At this time, on the high post of the Maling River Valley in the south of Gyeongju City, tens of thousands of Tang soldiers who came to the rescue also cheered and leaped, and the sound shook the river, and the prime minister Xiao Fu stood there, looking at the scene of the thieves fleeing, looking up to the sky and laughing, "The thieves have escaped!" ”

"The thief escaped!" At this moment, whether it is the Gao Chongwen Department of the Shence Army, or the Han Yougui Department of the Suining Army, as well as the Wu Xianfu and Zhang Wanfu departments of the Shenwei Army who also came to help, the soldiers all increased their quotas with their hands and shouted happily.

At this moment, Han Yougui, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, hugged his fists and suggested to Xiao Fu: "I see the enemy's escape, Ma Chongying's department is galloping in the direction of Qinggangling, and the party is rebelling, and it seems that they are sneaking towards the various crossings of Baiyu Mountain. Please Xiao Zhonglang order, by me, General Gao Chongwen personally choose to choose 8,000 elite horses, rush to chase Ma Chongying, do not behead Ma Chongying on the edge of the dry sea, dedicated to the Daming Palace. ”

Xiao Fu raised his eyebrows and raised his hand, "What General Han said is very true, but every time Xifan withdraws, there are elite palace queens, and I am afraid that our cavalry will not be able to do it all." ”

After speaking, Xiao Fu strode to the map held by the wingman, and said to the generals, "Hedong Ma Sui and Hezhong Hun Ying will immediately lead 40,000 elite soldiers from Shizhou and Longmen to cross the river to help, I will immediately send someone to inform them, so that these two can choose 10,000 brave elite horsemen, and take the lead in galloping to Gyeongju, under the unified command of General Han, so as to pursue the thieves, Ke Quanjie!" ”

"Then Ma Chongying's retreat from Mingsha?"

Xiao Fu was not worried at all, and waved his hand arrogantly, "Xingyuan Fangqiu's defense observation makes Gao Yue, who has received 10,000 steps to ride, and the north is like a river in Xiaoguan, I will let Lingwu's Kang Rizhi lead 10,000 people south, and the two iron gates can be combined to completely cut off the road of Mingsha, and Ma Chongying will be unable to fly in the dry sea where there is no grass." ”

"Okay!" You're all happy.

If the pockets are tightened in this battle, but the standard victory that can wipe out tens of thousands of Fanzi will definitely greatly frustrate the spirit of Xifan.

At this time, Qi Ying, the military envoy of the grain supply in the camp, stepped forward and whispered to Xiao Fu that the food supply of the whole army should also be paid attention to, and tens of thousands of cavalry pursued and needed a lot of consumption, but now the military treasury in Pengyuan, Ningzhou has bottomed out.

"It's okay, Han Nanyang's supplies have almost arrived, and the prime minister has asked Shen Ce to send Han Qinxu and Fan Ning to Weikou to take over." Xiao Fu's reply reassured everyone up and down, so everyone geared up and prepared for the pursuit.

In the east of Chang'an City, by the Baqiao, which is red like a dragon across the riverbank, in front of a bamboo forest full of spring, Cui Ning, who is a rich and idle scholar, is visiting the spring with his wife Liu and a large group of concubines.

Liu Shi saw that during the period when her husband lived in Shengpingfang, his figure was blessed, he used to be a short man, but now he is a short man.

While walking, Cui Ning also whispered to his wife and son-in-law hatefully, saying that this guy is too unreasonable, and I'm sorry for my family.

"Then cut off contact with the senior year of high school, how about it." There was no expression on Liu's face.
