Chapter 570: This battle can't be left unfought
All eyes were on the crowd, but outside the city gate, it was the opposite, not only did there be no people, not even the guards of the city did not exist.
Outside the city gates, it seems that an empty field has been specially cleared.
And on the vast road from outside the city gate to inside the city gate, there stood a man with his hands held high. He was a young man of about twenty years old, and he was dressed in an ordinary coarse cloth robe.
The cold wind struck leisurely, blowing the hem of his clothes violently.
Qing also carries a long sword around his waist, which seems to be an ordinary thing in appearance, this kind of sword can be bought in any blacksmith shop in Chang'an, and it should be the ceremonial sword of ancient Confucianism.
Five hundred Tibetan knights finally came. But listening to the horse's hooves rumbling and shaking the sky, raising and raging dust, there was a sense of anger and war from afar.
Suddenly, Lu Dongzan shouted "stop", and the whole five hundred knights retracted the reins at the same time, and the front hooves of the healthy horses under their crotches stood up.
From running wild to standing still, it was just a moment. The number of horses controlled by them was so sophisticated that they were almost indistinguishable from those of the Turks who had grown on horseback for generations.
However, the cloth-clothed young man just stood quietly with his hands in his hands, and his plain face seemed to have a hint of leisure.
Lu Dongzan did not turn over this time, but Gao Jujian held a horse whip, his eyes swept around, and suddenly pointed at the young man with a horse whip, and said loudly: "There are no soldiers and no generals, could it be that Your Excellency is on duty at this gate?" ”
He didn't wait for the young man to speak, he suddenly took a long breath, and said loudly: "Come on, the old man has eaten two teases in a row today, but it is like a breeze blowing over the hills, and it can't shake people's perseverance at all." I want to enter this White Tiger Gate, and this White Tiger Gate can't stop Tubo ......"
After saying this, he turned over and dismounted, and solemnly arched his hand: "Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, dare to ask your Excellency what is your name?" ”
The young man on the opposite side also looked solemn, and solemnly returned the salute: "I am the guard of the White Tiger Gate of the Tang Dynasty, Han Da is stunned." ”
"Han Da is stunned?"
Lu Dongzan stumbled under his feet, and almost rolled his eyes and scolded his mother.
A young man with a leisurely demeanor, like a fairy, even if he is dressed in a cloth robe, it is still difficult to hide his divine horse. I don't know that the name is called Han Da stunned, such a turn is so outrageous, when I hear it, it is a deliberately disguised name.
Lu Dongzan scolded in his heart, and his face gradually became a little unsightly.
Behind the city gate, there was a shocking laughter, and hundreds of people laughed back and forth. A man who sells tea smacked his lips, always thinking that this young man had seen it somewhere, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he blurted out: "My old lady, this is our prince's ......"
Before a prince's 'master' finished speaking, someone next to him suddenly covered his mouth with his hand and scolded: "If you see through it, you don't say it, you can do some good shows." Today, the prince personally went out, let's watch the play obediently. If you expose the identity of the prince, how can he tease Tubo? ”
The tea seller nodded again and again, signaling that he should be damn nonsense.
It turned out that the young man in front of the White Tiger Gate was Han Yue, he didn't deliberately turn around, but just changed the brocade robe on his body to a cloth robe, but the prestige and power have been in place for a long time, and he has his own momentum.
The title of Han Da stunned is not casual, but a pseudonym when he first met Princess Silla in Liaodong.
On the other side, Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth, and suddenly said with a smile: "Han Da is stunned, this name is good, it seems to be very earthy at first glance, but it is kind and kind." Like the sages of the Spring and Autumn Period, some people call Lao Tzu, some people call Mencius......"
There is already some hint in this statement.
Han Yue laughed and said, "What the prime minister said is good, the name is just a title." ”
Lu Dongzan nodded, gradually suppressing the anger of being teased, he suddenly arched his hand again, and solemnly shouted: "Your Excellency is blocking the door alone, I don't know what to say?" ”
Han Yue also arched his hands, there was no lack of etiquette, he smiled and said: "You are guests from afar, and my Tang guards can't bully people." The prime minister was harassed in the first two doors, and it was just a kind of fun to welcome guests. ”
Lu Dongzan snorted coldly and said: "This kind of welcome fun is too unique, the old man has also studied the Han family poetry books, I have never seen such a record in the book." ”
"And what do you want?" Han Yue drank suddenly, one moment he was smiling like the little brother next door, and the next moment he was already bursting out with a murderous aura.
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Lu Dongzan, and said loudly: "You waited for the envoy to the Tang Dynasty, rode a horse into the customs from Jiannan Road, and passed through 42 villages and towns in three prefectures and seven counties, and the warriors under your command were reckless, killing our people, and colliding with people's houses, and a total of seven people died before and after, all of whom were unarmed farmers in the Tang Dynasty......
Lu Dongzan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he only felt a chill down his spine. What Han Yue said was not wrong, they did enter Datang from Jiannan Road on the way, and they did pass through three prefectures and seven counties on the way, as for whether it was forty-two villages and towns, Lu Dongzan himself did not remember it.
Han Yue said in a cold voice: "Early this morning, you led your troops to attack Tiezhen, killing one of my people and injuring one of my young sons. Afterwards he fled in panic, and an hour later he haunted Niujia Town, Lantian County, Tubo is fierce and loves to rob, and it must not be a sightseeing ...... to go to Niujia Town."
As Han Yue counted one by one, the insults of mountains and tsunamis sounded inside the city gate.
Lu Dongzan took a light breath, feeling that he couldn't let the other party say this again, he suddenly sneered and said, "Could it be that this is Your Excellency's means?" This can't stop Benxiang from entering the city. ”
Han Yue also took a light breath, slowly shook his head and said, "The jackal is unreasonable, and I am just making the last effort." Since the prime minister is not ashamed in his heart, then let's follow the rules that should be there. ”
"Oh?" Lu Dongzan chuckled lightly and said, "I don't know what the rules are." ”
Han Yue glanced at him, also smiled lightly, and continued: "You are guests from afar, and the guards of the Tang Dynasty can't bully people......
Suddenly, his complexion changed, his anger suddenly erupted, and he shouted: "But the revenge that should be avenged cannot be avenged, today in Chang'an Baihumen, I Datang want to talk to you about the rules." ”
Lu Dongzan reflexively jumped on the war horse, his momentum was not weak at all, and he also shouted: "No matter how you want to come, I will personally take the picture." ”
Han Yue turned around abruptly, shouted at the city gate, and roared angrily, "Soldiers are coming, ......"
Boom Boom –
The gates of the city were wide open, and iron hooves slowly galloped out.
This group of iron horsemen was no more, no less, and it happened to be five hundred.
Han Yue stood at the front with his hands in his hands, and shouted to Lu Dongzan: "Soldier to soldier, general to general, you have 500 warriors, we also have 500 iron horsemen, let's fight in this White Tiger Gate, if you win, you enter Chang'an City, and if you lose, you kneel down and apologize to the dead people......"
Lu Dongzan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he gasped as he looked at the five hundred iron cavalry rushing out, and blurted out: "Xuanjia cavalry." ”
Han Yue smiled proudly and said loudly, "Yes, Xuanjia cavalry. ”
Lu Dongzan's face was about to drip water, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This is what Your Excellency said about not bullying people?" The Xuanjia cavalry is the most elite combat force in the Tang Dynasty, and the old man refuses to fight one-on-one. ”
"If it doesn't work, it has to work!"
Han Yue suddenly shouted and said, "If I didn't bully you, I didn't bully you." Waiting for the five hundred warriors of Tubo is very bad, I know that they are all the elite of the Tubo Imperial Guard. ”
Lu Dongzan's pupils shrank again, and he said coldly: "You even have mastered this matter?" ”
He deliberately showed weakness just now, but in fact it was not because he avoided war and did not want to fight, but in today's situation, he will not be able to fight, and whoever does not fight will lose the honor of the entire country.
Therefore, Lu Dongzan deliberately showed weakness, because he wanted to make the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry contempt when he was fighting.
Han Yue looked at him with blazing eyes, and said coldly: "My Datang is a country of etiquette, and if you don't bully people, you won't bully people." The Xuanjia Iron Cavalry is comparable to the combat power of your Tubo Imperial Court warriors, so don't seek excuse from words. ”
He paused slightly when he said this, and then snorted coldly and said: "If I really want to bully you, then I will not dispatch the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry today, and my Datang has a more powerful war force, and the prime minister should have heard of it." ”
Lu Dongzan took a deep breath and said word by word: "Xifu Sanwei? ”
"Yes, Xifu Sanwei!"
Han Yue looked at him coldly, and said: "Since the Great Minister thinks that using the Xuanjia cavalry is bullying you, then we can change the troops, the three guards of the Xifu have musket battalion cavalry, and there are even more divine arm crossbow cavalry, these two troops are you can choose." ”
He pretended to be generous on his face, and then said: "If the prime minister dares to choose, I can call the shots with one hundred against five hundred, you Tubo dispatched five hundred warriors, and our Tang Dynasty only sent one hundred cavalry, and this transaction should be profitable." ”
"The old man is stupid if he believes it!"
Lu Dongzan suddenly blocked the exit, this hero's eyes were cold and gloomy, and it took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, just choose the Xuanjia Iron Horse." ”
He suddenly turned to look at the warrior behind him, and said loudly: "Your subordinate son obeys the order, and you are the most noble warrior in Tibet." We inherit the glory of the gods, and the momentum cannot be lost......"
The five hundred Tibetan warriors looked at each other and drew their scimitars from their waists.
If you don't fight today, you can't do it, and if you don't fight, you will lose the national body. But against the world-famous Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, they didn't have any confidence. Tubo dared to harass the Tang Dynasty not by martial arts, but by the right time and place and shamelessness.
Han Yue also turned to look behind him, he didn't say anything glorious or not, but directly drew the long sword at his waist and said solemnly: "Compatriots, in today's battle, there is death and no life. Under your feet stands the land of the Tang Dynasty, which is the family business that the ancestors opened up little by little, with blood and tears, and the ancestors passed it on to us, and we must protect it. ”
"Whoa!" Five hundred Xuanjia iron horsemen looked up to the sky and roared.
Han Yue waved his long sword again, and said angrily: "The family business passed down by our ancestors is the basis for our children and grandchildren to eat and live. Whoever dares to come and rob us, we will fight with him, there is a knife with a knife, there is a sword with a sword, if there is no knife and no sword, we will bite with our teeth, we will hit with the head. No matter who comes to bully us, no matter how strong he is, as long as we dare to invade the Central Plains, we will make him pay the price of blood......"
"Whoa!" Five hundred horsemen roared again.
Han Yue suddenly had tears in his eyes, and he looked up to the sky and cried: "Sons, five hundred against five hundred today, many of you will die, are you afraid?" ”
None of the warriors spoke, only boundless fighting intent grew.
