Li Hao's snatching of white sentences was heart-wrenching, Han Jin trembled with anger, and wanted to argue with him, but found that he was speechless, indeed, what they Gaochang has done over the years is very immoral, but they have always demanded Datang with high moral standards, such a double standard can only be thought about in the heart, and there is no face to say it.

Li Hao saw that he was silent for a long time, and he didn't have the patience to spend any more time with him, so he waved his hand and said, "Feiying, chop off all his fingers, remember, chop them one by one, so that it hurts enough." ”

Han Jin almost collapsed when he heard this, and when he saw the flying eagle dangling in front of him with a Tang knife, he hurriedly shouted: "Gaochang has a population of 96,853 and a force of 30,000!" (According to history, the population of Gaochang at that time was 37,738 people, and the cavalry was 4,050, and the total strength was unknown, which is slightly exaggerated in the text)

"Hey, it's accurate to a single-digit population, 30,000 troops." Li Hao sneered disdainfully, "Who gave you the courage to dare to cut meat on the Tang Dynasty, Western Turks?" ”

Han Jin was even more frightened when he heard this, because Li Hao actually said that the Western Turks were their backstage, although Gao Chang ostensibly worshiped the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, and once had a good relationship with the Tang Dynasty, but there is no eternal friendship between countries, everything depends on interests.

Although the Tang Dynasty is strong and adjacent to Gaochang, it has always been separated from Gaochang by the desert like the Hanhai Sea, the Western Turks have become increasingly strong in recent years, conquering most countries in the Western Regions, and there is a tendency to catch up with the Eastern Turks in the past, the Western Turks threaten Gaochang with force to take refuge, Gaochang is also helpless, can only give in, and then the two work together to cut off the Silk Road, suck the essence of the Tang Dynasty to strengthen themselves, and live a happy life without shame.

However, although Gaochang has made a windfall in recent years, its national strength has not increased, why, because of its poor geographical location, located in the desert, lack of resources, cannot be cultivated, and the population is sparse, a country has a population of less than 100,000, and it is a shame to say it.

"You...... Got it all? Han Jin's face was a little weird, and he began to wonder if there was a mole inside Gaochang.

Seeing his suspicious eyes, Li Hao guessed his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't doubt it, don't you still have five hundred people outflanking us from the West Road, why haven't you come yet?" He raised his eyebrows as he spoke, and smiled a little thief.

"Zhang He! Is he a mole? Han Jin exclaimed.

Li Hao smiled and nodded: "That's right, Zhang Huan has already surrendered to my Datang, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan promised a heavy reward, he has told everything to the table, now I want to test whether you are honest, I continue to ask you, why did you attack us?" Answer well, if you are not honest, be careful not to hold chopsticks with your fingers in the future. ”

When Han Jin thought that Zhang Huan was a traitor, he was both angry and desperate, since Li Hao had already known everything, in order to avoid humiliation, he could only grit his teeth and say angrily: "Chang'an Feige sent a secret report, saying that the Tang Emperor was dissatisfied with my Gaochang, and sent the new Tingzhou Assassin Shi to Tingzhou with hundreds of thousands of silver to go to Tingzhou, recruit troops and practice locally, and when the time is ripe, he will do something to Gaochang, and after receiving the secret report, my king sent me to lead 1,500 elite cavalry to intercept and kill, but I didn't expect the credit to fall short." ”

"Hundreds of thousands of dollars?" Li Hao's eyebrows fluttered when he heard this, "You actually believe such nonsense?" ”

Han Jin said: "It is a matter of the rise and fall of the country, we have to believe it." ”

"You actually have secret agents in Chang'an." Li Hao paced slowly, frowning and groaning, "It seems that other countries also have secret agents in Chang'an, but there is no reason for the Gaochang secret agent to harm me out of nothing, it seems that someone must be making a ghost from it, although I occasionally offend people in Chang'an, but there are not many people who want to kill me, Kong Yingda has always looked at me unpleasantly, but that rotten Confucian has no ability to manipulate Gaochang's secret agent, Du He...... Forget it, he's just a piece of waste, Li Tai...... This person has a belly to learn, and he is good at dancing and writing, this thing is not like his style, the most likely is Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian...... Li Chengqian...... It's a good trick to kill people with a knife, it's a wonderful game, it's a wonderful game......"

Li Hao raised his head and sighed, his heart was a little confused, he had to admit that Li Chengqian was a little similar to himself, in order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, but this hand was a little too ruthless, since he intended to put himself to death, it also strengthened his determination to work with him, before he was still a little ashamed because he caused Li Chengqian to become a cripple, and now he has no psychological burden at all.

Just as Li Hao sighed, Han Jin asked, "I've already said everything I should say, when will I be released?" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Let you go?" Let you go back and tell Ju Wentai? Say I destroyed your fifteen hundred cavalry? Everyone is an adult, can you not be so naïve? ”

"You...... You don't believe what you say! Han Jin shouted angrily when he heard this.

Li Hao had a hob-knife expression on his face: "I didn't say that I was a man of his word." ”

Han Jin glared when he heard this: "You Tang people are too insidious and cunning, Tang people are all bad people!" ”

"Don't say that." Li Hao said earnestly, "Tang people are all good people, Tang people emphasize etiquette, righteousness, honesty, shame, benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they are all disciplined all over their bodies, only I am a bad person, I am a bad person, I am so bad that I don't want my mother, who called you unlucky, but I met me, a bad person." ”

Han Jin was dumbfounded when he heard this, it was the first time he had seen such a shameless person, he said that he was so unbearable, and his words were robbed by him, what else could he say.

Li Hao suddenly smiled, revealing a gloomy face, and said slowly: "Take him out and kill all the prisoners he captured." ”

"What!" Han Jin was shocked when he heard this, he originally thought that even if Li Hao refused to release himself, he would continue to capture himself at most, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless that he actually wanted to kill all the captives, and immediately struggled and shouted, "How can you be like this, how can you kill prisoners indiscriminately!" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and asked coldly: "When the merchants of my Datang caravan knelt in front of you and begged for mercy, did you ever think of letting them live?" ”

Han Jin was shocked, his mouth opened and closed several times, and he was speechless.

"Drag it off!" Li Hao waved his hand, this action had already pronounced his death sentence.

There were bursts of terrible screams in the desert, which lasted for a moment and then gradually subsided, and all the remaining Gaochang captives were all killed, and the smell of blood wafted in the wind, attracting a group of wild wolves, but they only dared to wander a mile or two away, and did not dare to approach, because they could feel the incomparably strong killing intent in front of them.

"Let's go, don't delay the wolves feeding." Li Hao felt very unhappy to be stared at by a group of wolves, so he set off with everyone and continued to move in the northeast direction, because it was almost dawn.

It had been four months since Li Hao left Chang'an, and the housekeeper Du Hong, accompanied by Chen Laosan, the leader of the Li Mansion, visited Ma Zhou's house, saying that there was an extremely important thing left by Li Hao to hand over to Ma Zhou.

After hearing this, Ma Zhou hurriedly met in person, and after meeting, Du Hong took out a delicate small wooden box from his arms and handed it to Ma Zhou, and said respectfully: "Master Ma, my young master will hand over this thing to the old slave before leaving, and let the old slave hand it over to you four months after he leaves." ”

Ma Zhou took the small wooden box with a puzzled face, looked at it, and asked, "Can you open it?" ”

Du Hong nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Ma Zhou opened the wooden box, only to see that there were two thumb-sized seals inside, he took out one of them and looked at it, only to see that the seal was boxy, without any carving, and the bottom was engraved with the word "generation", he picked up another seal and found that the bottom was engraved with the word "for".

Ma Zhou frowned and asked, "Your young master...... What does this mean? ”

Du Hong bowed his head slightly and said: "The old slave doesn't know what the young master's intentions are, he just knows how to do it." ”

Ma Zhou nodded, and continued to frown and ponder.

On the desert, Li Hao and his party traveled for more than ten days, bypassing Gaochang from the east, intending to enter Xizhou, but he sadly found that he was deceived by the map, Xizhou is obviously the land of the Tang Dynasty on the map, but the fact is that Xizhou is still in the territory of Gaochang.

In fact, Xizhou was originally Gaochang, but I don't know why, Datang insisted on setting up an administrative department and Zhechong Mansion in Xizhou, which has a bit of colonial meaning, in this way, it is difficult to distinguish whether Xizhou belongs to Datang or Gaochang, Xizhou is still like this, as for Tingzhou, which is farther away, hehe, it is estimated that this is also the case, after all, Tingzhou does not even have a place bordering Datang.

Standing outside the city of Xizhou, looking at a fiery red mountain range ten or twenty miles away in the northwest, Li Hao's face became extremely ugly, that is the legendary Flame Mountain, this name is really good, red, under the scorching sun at noon, the sandstone is scorching and flashing, and the blazing air flow is tumbling up, like a blazing flame, the tongue of fire is stirring the sky, isn't it like there is an endless flame burning.

The soldiers guarding the city of Xizhou saw Li Hao and their army coming from afar, and had already closed the city gate, Li Hao stopped outside the south gate of Xizhou, sent Peng Haihai forward to hand over the post, and showed a dry document to prove his identity.

Li Hao left Peng Hai and five hundred right Xiaowei stationed outside the city, he took a group of female dependents and tribes into the city, on the way to the post house, Li Hao found that the pedestrians on the street were very mixed, people of various nationalities, in fact, it is no wonder, Xizhou is located in the border of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also an important town on the Silk Road, naturally bringing together people from all over the world, there are Qiuzi, Persia, Gaochang, Western Turkic, Dashi and many other countries in the Western Regions, but these people have one thing in common, although they come from different countries, their skin color and hair color are different, But they all wore the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, and only a few businessmen who passed by wore their own costumes. Seeing those foreigners wearing Tang Dynasty costumes, Li Hao felt funny how he looked at it. At the same time, he also feels proud, the Tang Dynasty is the most powerful dynasty in the history of the Chinese nation, strong is not only a large territory, strong military strength, comprehensive national strength and economic strength must also be strong, that is the real strong. It is precisely because of the strength and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty that the people of all countries have worn Tang costumes to be proud of during this period, and even an ordinary man in the Tang Dynasty will become the ideal spouse in the dreams of women from all over the world, because they believe that the blood of the Tang people is the most noble. The influence of the Tang Dynasty on these foreigners was so great that more than a thousand years later, foreigners still called Chinese Tangren, so this is why there are Chinatowns in foreign countries instead of Han streets or Song people's streets.

Sent Li Hao and the others all the way to the post house, don't drive Cen Yao and said: "Lord Li, our Lord Assassin Shi Cao is busy with official business, and he can't greet him in person, he asked him to bring a message to Lord Li, and you must be forgiving." ”

Li Hao smiled and waved his hand: "Lord Cao is so polite, how can he let him greet him personally, naturally I should go to the door to pay a visit." ”

"Don't dare." Cen Yao said respectfully, "Lord Cao has prepared a meager banquet at the Xizhou Restaurant tonight, and I want to catch the wind for Lord Li, please don't shirk Lord Li." ”

Li Hao nodded: "Okay, I will definitely go to the appointment on time tonight, and thank Master Cao for me first." ”

"Yes." Cen Yao bowed, "If Master Li has no other instructions, then he will retire first." ”

"Don't drive, please poop."

After sending Cen Yao away, Li Hao closed the door and asked Lu Yun: "Lu Yun, what is the situation in Xizhou, you can tell me well." ”

Lu Yun said slowly when he heard this: "The history of Xizhou is called Cao Qing, and he has been doing the history of thorns here for nearly ten years, although he is a little pedantic, he is a person with integrity, and his attitude towards Gao Chang is also very tough, if he is not in Xizhou, Gao Chang will not go to the line of Tingzhou, after all, Tingzhou is too biased, Xizhou is a few points stronger than Tingzhou in any aspect." ”
