"Khan can't!" Chen Yonghe immediately exclaimed when he heard this.

Ashina Helu suddenly frowned and said unhappily: "Why not! You're going to intercede for him? ”

"Nope." Chen Yonghe said respectfully, "Khan, Yang Fan has an army of 20,000 and is just outside the city, if he orders to kill him at this moment, I'm afraid he will jump over the wall in a hurry." ”

Ashina Helu was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

At this time, another Wenchen suddenly came out and said: "Khan, the minister thinks that Yang Fan cannot be killed." ”

Ashina Helu suddenly frowned and said: "How can this be reasonable, Yang Dingguo treasoned and defected to the Tang Dynasty, how could I spare Yang Fan!" ”

Na Wenchen said: "Khan, Yang Fan is a talent, since he returned from his studies, ten battles and ten victories, and every battle is extremely beautiful, if you want to fight against the Tang Army, he has to be, although according to the law of the country, Yang Fan should be punished, but if the Khan is extrajudicially gracious, Yang Fan will definitely be grateful for the Khan's great kindness, wholeheartedly reciprocated, now is an extraordinary period, when the extraordinary law should be applied." ”

As soon as the words fell, a military general also came out and said: "Khan, the minister also thinks this is very reasonable, although Yang Fan is Yang Dingguo's nephew, he has been away from home for thirteen years, and he has not met with Yang Dingguo after coming back, Yang Dingguo's treason has nothing to do with Yang Fan, if the Khan insists on executing Yang Fan, it is very likely to force Yang Fan to rebel, and now Dililarna's army is pressing, if he is forced to rebel against Yang Fan at this moment, it is really unwise!" ”

"He dares!" Ashina Helu glared and shouted angrily when he heard this, he didn't listen to the words of these two people at all, and said loudly, "He has always been Yang Dingguo's nephew, how can I believe him, spread my will, summon Yang Fan to see me, only bring ten relatives, and leave the army outside the city!" Di Li Qimo, you take a hundred axes and a hundred archers to ambush in the urn city, and take Yang Fan into prison, if he dares to resist, he will be killed! ”

"Yes!" A burly military general clenched his fists and walked out of the hall quickly.

At this moment, outside the royal court, 20,000 troops stood neatly in two phalanxes, at the front of the military array, a military general wearing golden armor rode on horseback, proudly looking at the city, this person looked like he was in his early thirties, very handsome, sitting motionless on horseback, the wind blew his cloak with a loud sound, he was Yang Fan, a big villain who was quite famous in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but he didn't expect him to really exist.

"General, are you really going into the city?" Next to Yang Fan's war horse, a young man with a gold-backed big knife asked, this young man is called Yang Li, and he is a personal entourage who is specifically responsible for carrying the knife for Yang Fan, because of his great strength, so he is named Yang Li.

Yang Fan said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, General Ben will be fine." ”

Yang Li was still full of worry and said: "Old General Yang surrendered to the Tang Army and sacrificed Xinyuan City, the Khan must be furious, I am afraid that General Lian you, General, if we go now, there will be a chance." ”

"I'm not leaving." Yang Fan raised his head slightly, and said proudly, "I finally have the opportunity to compete with Fan Lihua, how can I leave easily, don't worry, Shabaluo Khan can't kill me." ”

When Yang Li heard this, he wanted to persuade again, but suddenly the city gate opened, and a guard rushed out on horseback, and said loudly from afar: "Zhenyuan General Yang Fan takes the order!" ”

Yang Fan hurriedly dismounted, bowed his head and saluted: "Minister Yang Fan receives the order!" All the others saluted along.

Then the guard began to recite the holy decree, and the content of the holy decree was relatively simple, that is, Yang Fan had a meritorious service in defeating the enemy, and entered the palace to meet the khan, and listened to the reward.

After the holy decree was recited, Yang Fan stepped forward to take the holy decree, and the guard said: "General Yang, the Khan asked you to leave the army outside the city, and you can only bring ten relatives into the city. ”

Yang Fan smiled slightly when he heard this: "I can enter the city by myself." ”

He said that he went back and gave instructions to the lieutenant general, and then followed the guard into the city on horseback, and as soon as he entered the urn city, the city gate was closed, Yang Fan glanced back at the city gate, smiled indifferently, and did not speak.

At this time, many archers suddenly appeared on the city walls around the urn city, all of them bent their bows and arrows at the Yang Domain, and at the same time, the other inner gates of the urn city opened, rushing out hundreds of soldiers holding sharp scimitars, surrounding the Yang Domain.

Looking at everything in front of him, cold sweat oozed from Yang Fan's forehead, but he still pretended to be calm and asked loudly: "What are you doing here, I am a hero who has just made a meritorious achievement, who dares to be so bold!" ”

"I'm sorry! General Yang! A heavy voice came, and the tall Dili Qimo appeared at the head of the city, looked at Yang Fan with a cold face, and said, "This is what the Khan meant!" ”

Yang Fan looked up at Dili Qimo and asked in a loud voice, "Why did the Khan do this to me?" ”

Di Li Qimo said expressionlessly: "Because your uncle Yang Dingguo treasoned and surrendered Xinyuan City to the Tang Army, you are Yang Dingguo's own nephew, according to the law of the country, you should be punished!" ”

"Yang Fan is not convinced!" Yang Fan glared and shouted, "Although Yang Dingguo and I have the name of uncle and nephew, I have not had contact with him for thirteen years, and I haven't even spoken a word to him in these thirteen years, he is treasonous, what does it have to do with me, Yang Fan is brave and loyal, the sun and the moon can be seen, I want to see the Khan!" Explain to Khan in person! ”

Di Li Qimo said: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I'm just acting on orders, you'd better not resist, otherwise you won't be killed!" ”

Yang Fan said loudly: "Okay, I don't resist, but General Di Li Qimo, I heard that the Tang Dynasty has defeated our 120,000 army and came straight to the royal court, not my Yang Fan boasting, except for me Yang Fan, no one can stop the Tang Army, and I also asked General Di Li Qimo to consider the country and report to the Khan for me, just say that I Yang Fan wants to see, even if I am convicted, I want to hear the Khan with my own ears." ”

Hearing this, Dili Qimo hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, you wait, I'll help you once, but if the Khan refuses to see you, then it's no wonder I'm not going to blame!" He whispered a few words to one of the men beside him, and then turned back and left.

Yang Fan stood motionless in the urn city, like a stone statue, life is a gamble, Yang Fan is a crazy gambler, he is betting on his own life this time, betting that Ashina Helu will meet him, as long as Ashina Helu is willing to see him, he will be sure to save his life, and will also entrust him with important tasks.

Yang Fan dared to gamble, because after careful consideration, now that the Tang army is pressing, Ashina Helu is also very irritable and distressed, and Yang Fan has done a survey on all the civil and military generals in the court, among the generals, there are more than a dozen generals who can fight, but they can be regarded as handsome, only Yang Dingguo is alone, and now Yang Dingguo is in the Tang Dynasty, and the Western Turks must find a powerful general to lead the troops to resist the enemy, and looking at the entire Western Turks, only he Yang Fan can do it.

Yang Fan knew that Ashina Helu was not a fool, and Ashina Helu also knew which generals in the court were powerful and which generals were straw bales, and the reason why Ashina Shabi and Ge Biluo were sent to resist the Tang army was because the two of them could be trusted, as for Yang Dingguo, although he was powerful, he was Han after all, so he only let him guard Xinyuan, just in case.

Yang Fan also knew that it would definitely be difficult for him to gain Ashina Helu's trust, after all, he was also Han, but it didn't matter, at this time and that time, at the moment when the Western Turks were employing people, he had a way to gain Ashina Helu's trust.

After waiting for a long time, Dili Qimo finally returned, stood at the head of the city and shouted downward: "The Khan is gracious, he wants to see Yang Fan, tie Yang Fan, and take him to the palace to see the Khan!" ”

The Western Turks imitate the Han people everywhere, but only the house architectural style does not imitate the Han people, the Western Turks are located in the Western Regions, have less contact with the Tang Dynasty, communicate more with Western countries, and are greatly influenced by Western sects in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation, so most of their houses and palaces are European classical style, with domes and arc windows, but after all, the Western Turks are from the steppe peoples, although they have learned some things from the countries of the Western Regions, but they have not learned the essence, so although the palace is large, it is very chaotic and nondescript.

Soon, Yang Fan came to the palace and entered the court hall, although Yang Fan was tied with ropes, but it did not affect walking, he strode to the center of the palace, bowed to Ashina Helu, and said in a loud voice: "Minister Yang Fan meets Shabaluo Khan." ”

Ashina Helu said "um" expressionlessly, and then said slowly: "Excuse me, I heard that you want to see me, what do you have to say?" ”

Yang Fan straightened up and said, "Khan, Yang Fan has just repelled the 50,000 troops of the Arab Empire with 20,000 soldiers and horses in the west, and he has returned to the court. ”

"I already know about this, what else is going on?"

Yang Fan continued: "Khan, although the minister has just returned to the royal court with the army, he has heard that the Tang army has pressed the border, and my Western Turks have lost 120,000 soldiers and horses and two generals, which is really a great shame for the country. ”

"You?" Ashina Helu's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he snorted coldly, "You still want to lead troops to resist the Tang Army?" Your uncle Yang Dingguo treasoned and gave Xinyuan City to the Tang Army! I didn't kill you right away, I'm already very gracious! ”

Yang Fan said calmly: "Khan, Yang Dingguo is indeed the uncle of the minister, but Yang Fan is ashamed because of such an uncle, when Yang Fan heard the news, he only felt that my Yang family was lost, and he hated to kill himself with a sword, to thank the Khan for his kindness, but now the enemy is current, the Tang army is fierce, and I am afraid that no one in the court can stop the Tang soldiers, Yang Fan has gone through a lot of hardships to learn this way of the art of war, in order to serve the country, how can he ignore his family and country, and I hope that the Khan will give Yang Fan a chance to let Yang Fan prove his loyalty!" ”

Ashina Helu squinted and stared at Yang Fan for a long time, still shaking his head, Yang Dingguo was so chilling to him, he couldn't believe these Han generals at all now, not to mention that Yang Fan was still Yang Dingguo's nephew.

Ashina Helu was silent for a long time, and suddenly raised his hand and said: "Come on, take down Yang Fan, lock him in the prison, and ask for beheading in three days!" ”

Yang Fan frowned when he heard this, and stood there still, when the two guards came over and prepared to escort him away, Yang Fan struggled violently, only to hear the sound of "pop", the rope was broken instantly, and the two guards were pushed by Yang Fan, and both flew out, smashing the ministers to stagger.

Yang Fan's speed was so fast, after breaking the rope, he rushed straight towards Ashina Helu like an arrow off the string.

Ashina Helu was so frightened that he screamed repeatedly: "Help! Help! All the guards rushed over.

However, the distance between them was a bit far, and the speed was far less than Yang Fan's, Yang Fan had already rushed in front of Ashina Helu in three or two steps, and those guards were all standing three meters behind him, holding their blades at him, not daring to act rashly.
