Suddenly, Zhang Tongru hurriedly picked up Sun Xiaozhe's clothes and armor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"You, what are you doing, are you crazy?"

"The last general is not crazy, the handsome man is in armor, how can he escape the pursuit?"

Zhang Tongru kept moving, while explaining, and beckoned the people around him to do the same with him. At this time, the talents around Sun Xiaozhe woke up like a dream, stepped forward with all hands and feet, and helped him undress and unload his armor.

Sun Xiaozhe was at the mercy of his subordinates, and soon he was replaced with a set of ordinary soldiers' clothes, and the set of clothes and armor that originally belonged to him was already worn on Zhang Tongru's body.

"Quick, bury the flag, bury ......"

As soon as the armor was exchanged, Zhang Tongru found Sun Xiaozhe's general flag, this thing is definitely attention-grabbing, in case it falls into the hands of Tang Jun, even a fool can guess the identity of their gang.

So, the soldiers tore off the flag in panic and buried it hastily.

"Dashuai, let's leave it at that, go quickly, don't look back!"

Sun Xiaozhe wanted to say something, but he had already been forced on the horse by several soldiers, and the few remaining war horses were all used to escape to cover Sun Xiaozhe's escape, while Zhang Tongru stayed firmly.

In an instant, the torrent of iron armor had roared, and the black armor and black flag were very different from the Tang army, and Zhang Tongru was shocked when he saw such a scene.

"This, this is ......"

After seeing the banner of hunting in the wind, Zhang Tongru immediately guessed the true identity of these people. They were not the Tang army at all, but the Hui tribe that replaced the Turks as the overlord of the steppe. This cavalry is the elite cavalry of the Hui Division.

The Hui Department has always been only the Tang Dynasty, this time the army sent south, and will definitely not be friends with the Yan Dynasty, his heart is already cold, but the grassland tribes have always been afraid of the strong and the weak, and now the Tang Dynasty suddenly fell, and these wild wolves on the grassland are difficult to guarantee that they will not have different hearts.

With this thought, Zhang Tongru's originally desperate heart gave birth to a glimmer of hope, and calmly faced the doom he was about to endure.

This is obviously just a vanguard cavalry of the Hui Division, the number of which is about two or three thousand, if in the past, with the strength of the Youyan border army, even if there are only five hundred people, they will not be taken into account, but at this time and that time, not to mention that five hundred people are not necessarily the opponent of these Hui cavalry, even if they are twice as large as the other party.

Soon, Zhang Tongru and the others were surrounded by the round cavalry, and they did not shoot rashly, but sent Han guides to inquire about the identity of the other party.

In order to delay time, how could Zhang Tongru easily expose his identity?

"We are the rangers of the Shenwu Army, and we have been attacked by the Yan Army, and we have retreated here!

The Han guide did not doubt him, so he replied:

"This is the vanguard cavalry of Huairen Khan, and he was ordered by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to go south to King Qin. ”

After that, the guide facilitated the exchange of words with the Hui general behind him. At that time, the Turkic language was spoken in all parts of the steppe, and the guide and the general spoke Turkic, Zhang Tongru had been a general in Youzhou for a long time, and there were many Hu people in the border army, so he also spoke Turkic all night. I only heard that the other party was questioning my identity, and I couldn't help but go up and down in my heart, but I had to pretend that I didn't understand in order to confuse the other party.

Sure enough, after the guide finished communicating with the general, his face changed, and his attitude became arrogant.

"For the sake of safety, please hand over your weapons and horses until you arrive in Chang'an, verify your identity and return them!"

"How can this be ......?"

Zhang Tongru could endure it, but the subordinates behind him couldn't. When they were in Youzhou, when did the Hui people see them, they were not only submissive, but respectful, for fear of offending their own family, but now they are arrogant.

With a whoosh, several crossbow arrows shot out, nearly hitting the rebel general.

"Be honest, when it is extraordinary, you can only use extraordinary methods, if your identity is confirmed in the future, the Hui people will naturally apologize to you!"

The guide deals with the Uighurs all the year round, and has the power of a fox and a fake tiger.

Zhang Tongru gritted his teeth and smiled.

"It's talking, it's talking, hand over your weapons, hand over your warhorses!"

In fact, the few remaining horses had already scattered and fled before they were surrounded by the Hui cavalry, and those who remained were either injured or had long since exhausted their physical strength. As for weapons, it is better to hand them over than to resist on the spot and be trampled into flesh.

That time, General Su stared at Zhang Tongru for a long time, and then called the guide to underestimate a few words. The guide turned his head and asked:

"Seeing that your armor and clothing should be at least a military attache above the fourth grade, I don't know the name of the high surname?"

It is very rude to ask such a question, and it can also be seen from this that the Hui people may not be willing to obey the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Tongru secretly thought, and now they don't know the true identity of their people is so powerless, which can be seen.

"A certain is Zhang Han, the lieutenant general of the Shenwu Army!"

While speaking, Zhang Tongru peeked at the general, but saw that he nodded secretly, obviously proficient in Chinese.

Moreover, the Hui Ministry is an uncivilized grassland Hu people, and he can recognize the official level from the color of his armor and clothing, and he is by no means an ordinary leader, and his intuition tells him that the identity of this Hui general must not be simple.

"There are ...... discoveries"

There were many Han guides in the Uighur cavalry army, and this sudden sound came from one of them.

Zhang Tongru turned his head to look at it when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but gasp, and the cold sweat between his temples immediately rolled down in large pieces.

Several Uighur cavalrymen had already dismounted, and they paused on the ground to check what they had found, which was a flag.

General Hui suddenly looked at him, and suddenly ordered:

"Shoot them all!"

As soon as the military order was given, he evacuated on the spot under the protection of the guards, seeing that his life was hanging by a thread, Zhang Tongru also came out, knowing that his identity was exposed, in order to survive for a while longer, he could not bear it, and immediately shouted:

"We have no malice, don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows!"

This voice was shouted in Turkic, and at the same time he turned his head and shouted to his subordinates to quickly lay down their weapons in order to lower their guard.

In fact, since the discovery of the hastily buried generals, the Hui people have already concluded that their identities must be fraudulent, and the battlefield is full of tricks and raids, so the wisest choice is not to ask alive, but to shoot them all without asking questions, so that they can be avoided forever.

That time, General Su made this decision in an instant, and he was obviously not a simple character, which confirmed Zhang Tongru's guess just now.

Fortunately, curiosity overrode vigilance, and the general seemed to have a strong interest in Zhang Tongru's identity, and after confirming that Zhang Tongru and others had given up resistance, he actually withdrew the military order to shoot them all. However, there was absolutely no intention of treating him well, and the strong man who was like a wolf and a tiger rushed over, knocked a remnant of the defeated soldiers to the ground, and tied them all firmly.

Especially Zhang Tongru, who was mentioned separately in front of the general.

"Give you one last chance to speak truthfully, who are you?"

General Hui really knows Chinese, although he speaks a little blunt, but it is obviously a Chang'an official dialect.

The military flag was dug out, and Zhang Tongru knew that he could no longer hide his identity, so he simply gritted his teeth and said:

"I am Sun Xiaozhe!"

In fact, after General Hui inspected the dug up flag, he had a little bottom in his heart, and what he said from Zhang Tongru's mouth at this time was just to confirm it, but he definitely couldn't imagine who the true identity of this Sun Xiaozhe was.

"You led 200,000 rebels to besiege Chang'an, how did you end up in such a field, and where did you flee when you appeared here?"

Zhang Tongru simply let go and said.

"The 200,000 army collapsed, and Sun is going to the grassland to join Huairen Khan!"

"What do you say? The 200,000 army was all defeated, how could it be so fast?"

General Hui's expression was slightly surprised and a little disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I have been blessed by the Heavenly Khan for generations, how can I take in a traitor and thief like you?"

At this point, Zhang Tongru has concluded that the identity of this Hui must not be low, and he has lived in Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise it is impossible to open his mouth to be a set of Confucian rhetoric about the emperor's favor and the chaotic ministers and thieves.

However, he didn't take General Hui's words seriously, and only said calmly:

"There is an old saying among the Han people, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning? Now that the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has lost his morality, the hearts of the people in the world have long been chaotic, and Huairen Khan's first ascension to the throne is not a great opportunity to compete for the world?"

Zhang Tongru also had a slight understanding of the internal situation of the Hui Hui.

As the strongest tribe that has risen in the past 20 years of the Tiele Nine Tribes, the Guli Peiluo Khan united with Qarlu and other tribes to attack and kill the Turkic Usumish Khan and Baimei Khan 15 years ago, so that the Hui tribe completely replaced the Turks as the overlord of the steppe.

Li Longji also canonized Guli Peiluo as the king of Fengyi as the identity of Tian Khan, Guli Peiluo died of illness in the city of Danyu in Jinshan five years ago, and his son Gele inherited the throne of Khan, and was canonized as Huairen Khan by Li Longji.

According to Zhang Tongru's knowledge, after Huairen Khan succeeded to the throne, he changed his father's strategy of leaving the Tang Dynasty immediately, and chose to move closer in an all-round way, but also used the power and strength of the Tang Dynasty to destroy the grassland tribes that opposed the Hui.

Intuition told Zhang Tongru that this Huairen Khan Gele was by no means a benevolent and righteous person.

But I heard the general scolding sharply:

"Huairen Khan was enshrined in the Heavenly Khan, how could he do such evil deeds as An Lushan Shi and Siming? Since you have already declared your identity, I will not kill you, and in the future, when you enter Chang'an to meet the newly enthroned Tian Khan, you can be used as a prisoner!"

Zhang Tongru was unwilling to give up easily, and said again:

"Chang'an is prosperous and unrivaled in the world, and the army has already arrived in the city, will it still return empty-handed? Could it be that Huairen Khan could not bear to watch the great rivers and mountains be taken away by others?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Tongru keenly captured a complicated look from the gaze of General Hui, but it was also fleeting, and if you pay attention to it, it will be difficult to find it at all.

Even so, that's enough!
