"No, never!"

The young strong man's voice fell, and standing on the other side, an old man wearing a bright red robe and leaving countless traces of youth on his face stood up and said:

"That Tang Dynasty is not as good as it was back then, the previous lord of the country specially dispatched my Tubo Iron Cavalry 100,000 troops to suppress the border, which is already the bottom line that the Tang Dynasty can bear. If you continue to provoke, I am afraid that it will anger the Tang Emperor, and at that time, the Tang army will be overwhelmed...... The lord of the kingdom will regret it too late! ”

"Hmph, Prime Minister Stuhan, your words are indeed a bit ambitious, and you have destroyed my prestige in Tibet!" The young man snorted coldly and said, "What if it's a big army? I'm a Tibetan son, all of them are iron-clad men, if he dares to come, come and kill one and destroy one, and two and kill a pair! ”

"Humph! Don't say that cool thing. The old man named Stuhan said: "If the Tang people are so easy to deceive, then how can Lu Dongzan and the great ministers be wiped out and killed by the Tang Emperor?" That's thousands of warriors of our people! ”

"This ......," the young man hesitated.

"Okay, don't talk about it!"

Songtsen Gampo was a little upset by his subordinates, and he directly interrupted everyone's discussion and said:

∵

"Since the matter is still unclear, let's just wait and see! I heard that Xue Yantuo's army has begun to move closer to the land of Shuozhou, Batu ...... Quickly arrange for someone to investigate, if this is true......"

Speaking of this, Songtsen Gampo's eyes showed a bloodthirsty essence, and he muttered in a low voice: "If this is the case, then I will follow the example of Tu. But I'm not as stupid as Jieli......"

……

Li Yuanba led the Shenwuwei army and traveled all the way, and it only took five days to reach the outside of Shuozhou City, which is located outside Yanmen Pass.

Outside this city, there were already several highest-ranking officials in Shuozhou City who had already received a secret report. They stood there respectfully, waiting to greet Li Yuanba's army of Shenwuwei.

Because the emperor assigned different tasks to everyone, Li Yuanba's Shenwuwei received a secret mission, that is, to dig out Xue Yantuo's nest, the Shenwuwei army can be said to be a strange soldier, and it is to know the whereabouts of Li Yuanba's Shenwuwei army, only a few highest-ranking and most powerful civil and military officials in Shuozhou City.

Seeing these four people standing five miles away from the city gate from a distance, Li Yuanba ordered the army to step up.

"Da Da Da ......"

A series of dense horses' hooves sounded on the ground, and the Shenwuwei army walked in the sand. It was as if a terrible sandstorm had risen in the desert.

When he got closer, Li Yuanba had just taken off the dust hat on his head, and he saw the four civil and military officials immediately come forward to salute:

"Xiaguan Shuozhou Assassin Cao Yunmo, don't drive Du Zhiheng, Changshi Yao Zhiyuan, Sima Sun Wenzhong, have seen His Royal Highness King Wu!"

Li Yuanba sat on horseback, looked at the four middle-aged people in official robes who had finished introducing themselves, and asked curiously, "Do you know this king?" ”

Assassin Cao Yunmo shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Back to the prince's words, the four of the lower officials have not seen the prince, but His Majesty has already taken a step ahead of the prince. The portrait of the prince was sent to Shuozhou by the method of flying pigeons, which was ......"

There is no need to say the following words, Li Yuanba has already understood.

"Hmm!" Li Yuanba nodded and asked, "What about General Li, the general manager of the Shuozhou Road march, who arrived here one step ahead of this king?" Count according to the distance. If they were to travel day and night, without stopping, they should have already arrived in Shuozhou City, right? ”

"Ah...... Xia Guan is about to report this matter to the prince! ”

After Sima Sun Wenzhong heard Li Yuanba's words, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately said: "Lord, the army of Xue Yantuo suddenly started this morning, mobilizing 30,000 elite horsemen to cross the desert. Rushed to Dingxiang City, General Li was worried about the people of Dingxiang City, and had already set up a formation outside Dingxiang City with tens of thousands of soldiers, preparing to annihilate the invading Xue Yantuo army! ”

"How can these damn Tiele people move so fast?"

Li Yuanba was shocked, judging from the current form, if Xue Yantuo's army used a blitzkrieg, the Tang army would not have time to react, and those Tiele people might be able to capture a few more cities.

But if only 30,000 elite horsemen want to resist the army of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the local soldiers and generals guarding the city, I am afraid that it is a fool's dream at all.

"Lord Wang, are you going directly through the desert now, or are you going to take a detour and take a look outside Dingxiang City?"

Cao Yunmo, as the supreme administrator of Shuozhou, naturally didn't want anything to happen on his territory, so he was very concerned about Li Yuanba's itinerary.

"Hmmm! After passing through Dingxiang City, can you take a detour to the hinterland of Xue Yantuo? ”

Li Yuanba thought for a while and asked.

"If you go back to the prince, you will see a grassland if you walk half a day's journey to Xiangcheng, and as long as you pass through the grassland, you will enter the hinterland of Xue Yantuo!"

Cao Yunmo told him what Li Yuanba wanted to know without thinking about it.

"Good! Ren Rail, ordered the whole army to dismount and rest for a pillar of incense, replenish supplies, and at the same time replenish food and grass for the horses. After a pillar of incense, the army set off, and it must arrive at the foot of Dingxiang City before tonight. ”

Li Yuanba looked up at the not so hot sun in the sky, put on the black hat on his cloak again, and said.

"Lord Wang, do you want to send a scout to investigate?"

At this time, Su Dingfang, who had been riding a horse and following Li Yuanba's side, took a few steps forward and said in a low voice.

Li Yuanba touched his chin and said, "It's okay for you to send a team out to have a look, so that you can also explore the way!" Remember, safety is always the top priority! ”

Su Dingfang nodded, turned around and left.

In less than ten breaths, a team of ten Shenwu guards broke away from the Shenwu Guard army and galloped towards the southeast of Shuozhou City.

……

People say that there is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, although this sentence does not know when it began to be handed down, but this Hangzhou is indeed a place of outstanding people.

Yuhang County is the name of Hangzhou in the Tang Dynasty, and its seat of governance at this time is Qiantang, which is also one of the most prosperous and noisy cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this Yuhang County, between the small buildings near the West Lake, there is a mansion with obvious garden style.

At this moment, in the main hall of this mansion, the atmosphere is quite solemn, six or seven middle-aged people who are either wearing scholar's clothes or dressed like a rich man are gathered together, all with gloomy faces, and the atmosphere is indescribably weird.

If Li Yuanba was here, he would definitely be able to recognize one of the people, who was Wang Hao, the head of the Taiyuan Wang family.

That's right, the people who are secretly gathering in this Yuhang land today are several contemporary family heads with five surnames and seven hopes, of course, Cui Hao is still suffering in the edict prison of Dali Temple, but the five surnames and seven hopes are the only ones who lack this master.

"Guys, I guess you've got the news too, right? Xue Yantuo's army knocked on the pass, and the Tubo army also obviously moved frequently. The imperial court has sent a large army to Shuozhou, and the guards of the border passes are also constantly reinforcing the army, and now the troops in the pass are empty. ”

As the convener of this gathering of the five surnamed Qiwang patriarchs, Wang Hao was the first to speak.

"Brother Wang, although the foolish brother was not present when the five surnamed Qiwang and the other five surnamed Qiwang were in Chang'an City the previous time, the foolish brother once sent someone to secretly sneak into Chang'an City to investigate the matter!"

As soon as Wang Hao's words fell, a thin black and thin middle-aged man with a two-handful mustache sitting next to him took over the conversation:

"The foolish brother told the foolish brother that he only heard the shouting of killing in Chang'an City that night, and the chaotic footsteps handed over to Chen...... This was followed by a thunderous roar that rang higher than the other. After the thunder passed, the whole Chang'an fell into a short silence, and then the soldiers and generals of the various guards began to investigate the opposition party from house to house......"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man turned his head, looked at everyone present, and said word by word:

"Brother Fool wants to know, what is that thunder that roars higher than a louder, I can't figure this out, even if we make an accident again, we will definitely fail and the family will be wiped out!"

"What Brother Li said is extremely true!"

As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, another fat man with a big belly said:

"The news that Brother Li got was similar to mine, but compared to these, the news I got was more detailed! I heard that Li Yuanba, the king of martial arts, has secretly left Chang'an City with a large army, as for where he went...... I didn't find out. ”

When he said this, the fat man paused, took a few sips of tea, and continued:

"Anyway, this army is very mobile, and it's so elusive that you can't tell where it will appear. Rather than make an incident again, it is better to wait and see what happens, after all, the place where we wait for Qiwang is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Chang'an City, and the local forces are deep-rooted, so there is no problem in protecting ourselves! ”

"Fuck it...... How long will you have to endure this timidity? Could it be that I am waiting at home like this to wait for Li Shimin to clean up Xue Yantuo and Tubo, and then come back to clean up our five surnames and seven wangs? ”

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, and a short middle-aged man in a gorgeous fur coat sitting at the end stood up, and his small body exuded a heavy evil aura.

"Eldest brother, don't be impatient!"

Wang Hao looked at the expressions on the faces of these five surnamed Qiwang family masters in the study, suddenly sighed, and said:

"Brother Li and Brother Cui are not unreasonable! That Li Yuanba is a messy person, he dared to do anything when he was alone before, and now he has an army, if he leads the army to our place......"

Speaking of this, Wang Hao stopped talking.

Because they are very familiar with Li Yuanba, think about the nineteenth ...... Oh, no, to be precise, twenty years ago, Li Yuanba's crazy and murderous energy made them remember it deeply!

If Li Yuanba really came to the territory of the five surnames and seven hopes, the consequences would not be something they could afford!

All the heads of the family were silent, and they stopped talking, clearly thinking of the consequences of this horror. (To be continued......)
