Luo Xuanling and Zhu Wendu walked in the car and laughed when they heard that the attendant in front of them was suspicious of trees. On the road. Fang Xuanling opened the car window, looked ahead, and asked, "What's the matter, the tree is on the road?" ”

Wang Wendu opened another car window and looked at the road. He said, "What a big tree, it doesn't look like it was blown down by the wind!" ”

The attendant rode back and said, "Master, there is a big tree in front of you that has been cut down and is lying across the road, blocking the road tightly, and you can't get through!" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Can the tree be moved?" ”

The attendant shook his head and said, "With the small ones, there is no way to move it, and it will take at least dozens of people to move that tree." ”

Wang Wendu suddenly said: "No, such a big tree must not have been blown down by the wind, and the tree is thick." It's not a dead tree! Quick, go and see if the tree was cut down and for how long! ”

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Could it be that there are robbers who block the road?" It's not too far from Yumen Pass and Guazhou, how dare the robbers be so bold. Robbery is carried out here! ”

Wang Wendu snorted and said, "The more you think that there is no place where you can't have an accident, the more things often happen." I hope it's not a robber! ”

The attendant said yes and ran forward again.

But before he could run to the big tree, he heard a gong in the forest, and a group of strong men walked out.

The leader, a big man with a full yellow beard, spoke with a strange accent and said, "Don't look at it. It was cut down by the net, and just when you were three miles away, Grandpa cut it now! ”

The men were all dressed in sheepskin robes, and they were "tall and strong, no worse than the most elite Turkic soldiers." Some of these strong men are carrying huge axes, some are carrying Turkic scimitars, and some are holding Tang Bing's standard horizontal knives!

Don't look at their messy outfits. The fluffy and dirty ones are also holding all kinds of weapons, but looking at the edge of the weapon, it is full of cold light, and there is no need to use the neck to try. I also know that it is extremely sharp. Obviously, these people are eating from the guys in their hands!

Fang Xuanling sighed and sat back in the car. I thought to myself, "Oh no, what a robber!" He suddenly remembered, there is a group of giant thieves around here, a giant thief who can't even be exterminated by Gu Lantian, and his name is resounding throughout the Western Regions, that is the Folding Willow Thief!

Wang Wendu closed the car window and whispered: "Fang Xiangye, this time it's a big shame, both of us are officials of the imperial court, and we were blocked by robbers here, and the last general will see that this group of people is not easy to deal with!" ”

Fang Xuanling was so angry in his heart, what did the magistrates do to eat, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, between the two border towns, there was a robbery, and the robbery was still the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, it was simply unreasonable!

The yellow-bearded man put the giant axe in his hand on his shoulder and said, "In the car, there is no need to discuss countermeasures, and it is useless to discuss again." Grandpa made a living by doing this. What do you think, grandpa knows it very well, hurry up and get out of the car! ”

Fang Xuanling's face turned pale, and he asked, "If you want to be tough, can you rush over now and repel these robbers?" ”

Wang Wendu opened the window again, looked ahead, retracted his head, and said, "I guess I can't repel it." There are at least 200 of these robbers, and maybe there are people behind us, blocking the way out! ”

I heard the yellow-bearded man say again: "Don't count." There are two hundred and fifty people behind Grandpa, and there are two hundred and fifty people behind you, adding up to a total of five hundred, you are thirty-two people, thirty outside, and two in the car" One is called Fang Xuanling. One is called Wang Wendu! As soon as he said this, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were shocked, how did this robber leader know that they were fine, and now that he knew, he dared to block the way? Robbed the important ministers of the court, don't you want to die?

The two of them were just stunned for a moment, and they both understood. Their flags were held by the guards. As long as the robbers pay attention and inquire a little, they will know!

Wang Wendu said: "Fang Xiangye, it's going to be a bad thing." When these people saw our flag, they dared to do it. This shows that they are not afraid of officers and soldiers, and they may be anti-thieves! ”

Fang Xuanling dealt with Zheng Zhuo and ordered the suppression of the anti-thief, which is absolutely no problem, but if he is robbed by the anti-thief, then he has no choice, there is no soldier in his hands, how to suppress it?

The yellow-bearded man said again: "Prime Minister Fang, General Wang, don't be afraid, grandpa and I, here, it's me, I don't plan to cut you two, I just want to invite you to be a guest there and enjoy the desert scenery, nothing else!" If you two know each other, come with us now, and if you don't, then kill yourself now. Anyway, pass safely from us, then don't think about it! ”

It's not a problem to stay like this in the car. The immediate crisis must be resolved. Fang Xuanling coughed, opened the car door, and got out of the car. Dusting off his robe, he said: "This good man, now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, what is he not doing well, why do you want to be a thief?" It's better to listen to the old man's advice. Submit to the court, the old man can ensure that you have a place in the government army, and your subordinates also have good arrangements. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds, so why not? ”

The yellow-bearded man smiled: "Okay, just do as you say." Let's go there first, scald a pot of wine to drink, cook some slices of meat to eat, and discuss what kind of trick you plan to make, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. Why not? ”

Fang Xuanling frowned, and thought: "It seems that this matter can't be good, you have to send someone out to report it!" He turned to the attendant leader and winked. The squire's face changed, and he blinked hard to show that he understood.

"Dare to ask this hero, who is your surname and how to call it? The old man Fang Xuanling, the car was General Wang Wendu, his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he didn't come down. Fang Xuanling asked.

The yellow-bearded man laughed, shook his head and said, "Prime Minister Fang, you are confused." Since you have been a thief and have done this deed that insults your ancestors, how can you tell your name, what you are asking, it is really redundant! ”

He took the giant axe from his shoulder, pointed to the convoy, and said, "Don't gossip, don't talk nonsense." Children, take them down, catch them alive. These people are fat sheep! ”

The strong men behind him had been waiting impatiently. In the past, when they robbed, they always went up to rob, how could they talk to the fat sheep and waste time!

The strong men each have their own weapons. Screaming and rushing towards the convoy!

Fang Xuanling shouted: "If you don't leave at this time, when will you stay!" He waved his hand at the attendant and told him to flee quickly!

The squire understood and did not fight the robbers. A war horse rushed into the woods!

The yellow-bearded man shouted: "That man is going to move the rescuers, don't let him go, catch him!" A dozen big men screamed and rushed into the woods. Chased down.

The attendants next to the convoy waved their weapons and rushed up to meet the battle, they were all Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu's personal guards, they had always been brave, and it was absolutely impossible to retreat from the battle, not to mention that there were only about 200 robbers, even if there were more than 20,000 enemy troops in front, they still rushed away!

After only a few faces, the attendants hacked to death and injured more than a dozen "Jiang Han." And none of them are married and the spirit is hundredfold, protecting the card, and the dogs shouting and fighting!

Seeing this, the yellow-bearded man scolded a few times. shouted: "Cast the net, everyone is a Sven." You don't need to use knives and guns! ”

Wang Wendu got out of the car, holding a sword in his hand, and scolded: "You dog thief, you actually said that you are a Sven, who moved the knife and gun first, and you can't beat it."

Before he finished his ramblings, he saw more than a dozen large nets thrown over together, and immediately covered them!

The attendants are very brave, and killing people is not a problem, but if they are caught as fish, then it is useless, and it is useless to be brave or not!

I don't know what the strong men used to do. It may be that he was born as a fisherman, and his ability to cast nets is extremely good, more than a dozen large nets were spread, and they actually covered all the attendants, none of them ran out, and even the war horses were covered in the net!

The strong men shouted in unison and pulled hard. pulled all the attendants down, rushed up, grabbed them one by one, wiped their shoulders and backs, and tied them all up, even Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were not spared, and the two brothers were tied up together. Four feet to the sky!

Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were furious, this insult was really unbearable, it was unseemly, and the faces of the important ministers of the court were gone, they shouted angrily in unison, and ordered the yellow-bearded man to let go of it, if he didn't loosen his restraints, he wouldn't even have a chance to recruit him in the future!

The yellow-bearded man smiled: "Zhao'an, Zhao'an." Then his face sank, and he said viciously: "At the beginning, grandpa's father was recruited by your Tang Dynasty, what was the result?" The country is ruined, you Central Plains people, you are not trustworthy, it is the most hateful! ”

Wang Wendu was dizzy, didn't react, and didn't know what he was talking about. But Fang Xuanling shouted: "You are the Gaochang royal family? To the remnants of the family? ”

The yellow-bearded man's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Yu Sin? Okay, good scolding, I'll let you scold! Come on, gagged their mouths. lest they kill themselves by chewing their tongues, I will give them a taste of the means of this remnant of my sins." ”

The strong men tore off the plackets of their clothes, gagged their mouths, and threw them into the car. Without stopping, the yellow-bearded man beckoned his men, drove the convoy, left the edge of the forest, and hurried into the distance.

Yumen Pass.

The city gate was wide open, and the Turks lined up and walked through the city gate to Zheliu County.

Not as Fang Xuanling expected, Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian didn't fight at all, but hooked shoulders and became good brothers, the two sat on the city tower, with a table in front of them, a big bowl of wine on the table, a large piece of meat, the two of you, you respect me, I respect you, they are eating happily!

Fang Xuanling only knew one thing, but he didn't know the other, if it was according to the normal situation, he was not wrong, Wang Ping'an sent Qiu Renjie and Gu Lantian to negotiate conditions, so as to induce Gu Lantian and Wang Wendu to bite the dog. Wang Ping'an used the trick of marrying a daughter to a second husband, and he counterattacked with a move to watch the tip from the other side, waiting to see Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian pinch each other.

However, before Wang Ping'an sent Qiu Renjie, didn't he also send Ashina Qi'er! If one set of plans doesn't work, let's use two sets of plans to set the grain and grass of the imperial court, anyway, the grain and grass are given to everyone, so why don't they fall on their own army!

Wang Ping'an is very generous. I had to give Gu Lantian 10,000 elite soldiers, Gu Lantian was embarrassed. He can't eat too many troops, if the household department thinks that the expenditure is too much, it will be ripped off, and the grain and grass are not easy to get, he only needs Wang Ping'an to draw 6,000 people over, and the strength of one and a half battalions is only divided in name, and it is not real. As for the grain and grass that is obtained. Wang Ping'an got seventy percent, and Gu Lantian got thirty percent!

However, Wang Ping'an once said that as long as Gu Lantian could pour him under the table, he would be able to divide it again, so Gu Lantian simply set up a banquet, and the two of them sat on the city tower, pushing the cup and changing the lamp. Let's see who can drink down the two brothers!

This meal was drunk from dawn until dark. The Turks all went out of the pass, gathered with the troops of Ashina Qi'er, and rushed to Zheliu County overnight. Neither of them finished drinking!

Gu Lantian's face was flushed and his tongue was big. Said: "I, I, I said the prince" that master. You can really drink it, I'm "I," and with a whoop, he leaned on the table and threw up. Wang Ping'an was also a mouthful of wine, and before drinking it, he took some of the pills he had prepared before. It is specially used for hangover, but it is not eaten after drinking, but before drinking, although it is not called a thousand cups. But dealing with water and wine, that's not the slightest problem. But then again, no matter how much you can drink, after drinking, your body will be uncomfortable for sure!

Wang Ping'an patted Gu Lanyou on the back and said, "Take it, take it or not, come if you don't take it!" ”

Gu Lantian couldn't stop vomiting, Wang Ping'an slapped him, his body was weak, he actually fell under the table, couldn't say anything, his body was covered with vomit, dirty and smelly.

Wang Ping'an waved his hand at Tang Bing and said, "Help the governor of your family to go back and rest, and wait for him to wake up." Tell him, I'm leaving, I'll come to see him in two days, and I'll discuss anything at that time, don't worry. ”

As he spoke, he staggered and stood up, Qiu Renjie and the Ouyang brothers hurriedly stepped forward to help each other, helped him down the city tower, and went to Zheliu County in the car.

Zheliu County is not far from Yumen Pass, and it can almost be said that the boundary of Yumen Pass, followed by the boundary of Zheliu County. However, due to the vastness of the area outside the border. Therefore, it was impossible to catch up with the county seat that night, and the Turkic brigade reached midnight, then set up camp and hurried again tomorrow morning.

After Wang Ping'an entered the tent, he lay down for a while. He called two little girls, helped him to the outside of the tent, threw up violently, drank some water, and then went into the tent to rest

Yumen closed the city.

In the middle of the night, a man rode a wounded war horse and galloped to the gate of the city, shouting: "Open the door, I want to see the ancient governor, I am the attendant of Fang Xiangye, our master has an accident!" ”

This person is Fang Xuanling's attendant leader, he escaped into the woods and escaped from the robbers chasing behind, but as soon as he got out of the woods, he was forced to flee by the robbers outside the forest.

The yellow-bearded man is prepared in advance. Because the woods are close to Guazhou, he arranged a large number of people in the direction of Guazhou, in fact, the two hundred and fifty reserve robbers he said were not ambushed behind the direction of the convoy, but in the direction of Guazhou, and the guards were falsely shot by the guards!

If the guard leader turned around and fled, and ran back and forth, then he could escape directly, but he was frightened by the yellow-bearded man, and he thought that there was really a block in the back. fled in the direction of Guazhou, although he also escaped, but he was injured.

The Tang soldiers in the city shouted, "Who are you?" On the gate gateway, it will only open again tomorrow morning, you wait! ”

The leader of the guards shouted, "No, you can't wait, let me into the city!" As he spoke, he tilted and fell off his horse.
