Once upon a time in the sea of blood

Lan Jun took a sip of tea, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then let out a long sigh, and instead of directly answering Qin Cheng's words, he asked, "How is Li Yuan now?" ”

"Li Yuan? You mean Li Yuan, the prince of the Tang Dynasty? Qin Cheng was puzzled.

"That's right, it's the general of the Zhu Kingdom, the eldest grandson of Li Hu, the Duke of Tang, Li Yuan. However, he's not too young now. Lan Jun slightly corrected Senior Brother's words.

Qin Cheng nodded and said: "I still understand this kid, since he lived in Chang'an, he was taken care of by the Queen Mother, although he was young, but he was a martial artist, and he practiced everything, and he will become a great tool in the future." ”

"Well, his grandfather was the oldest of the eight pillars of the generals, he died early, and he was also a loyal and brave general under King Wen, and he was posthumously named the Duke of Tang Guo when he founded the country, and his son also died young, as the eldest grandson, Li Yuanke was knighted at the age of seven." Lan Jun looked out the window and said.

Qin Cheng said: "Speaking of which, your family and General Li Hu went out of Longdi together, and they can be regarded as half a fellow countryman. ”

"After the attack, the Turkic Muxuan Khan saw that Li Yuan was young and unable to deter the land of Xiliang, so he repeatedly sent cavalry to harass Longyou. Lan Jun continued.

"That's just as well." Qin Cheng nodded.

Lan Jun's words changed: "However, later, the wooden pole took advantage of the fall of my Great Zhou monarchy, and the traitorous ministers were in charge, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, one was led by him personally, secretly bypassing the heavily guarded Liangzhou, and marching eastward through Qilian Mountain, attacking the rear of Liangzhou, and attacking the rear of Liangzhou all the way, with the intention of capturing Liangzhou, using this as a place to slow down the army, the west and Tuhun, devouring Longyou, and then fighting against my Great Zhou. ”

Qin Cheng sighed: "The Turks are a dangerous chess, so later the first emperor and Ling Zun asked you to lead your troops to help Liangzhou, but you ......"

Lan Jun continued: "After I was ordered to lead 50,000 troops from Chang'an, I passed through Tianshui, and my father ordered me to bring the 30,000 Zhao family troops who stayed in Tianshui with me, so he was relieved. ”

Qin Cheng also looked out the window and said: "Ling Zun was born in Tianshui, from Longyou, 30,000 Zhao family troops, all of them are your fellow villagers, at that time you were still young, leading the army to conquer alone, and there was no Zhao family army who swore allegiance to the death, how could he rest assured?" ”

"Hey! Every time I think of this, my heart and gall are broken, 30,000 Zhao family troops plus 50,000 iron armor, I am ashamed to be loyal to these 80,000 brave bones, they-most of them, can't come back. Lan Jun's hand was pinching the string of prayer beads.

"Senior brother, don't think like this, you can't be blamed for this, it's just the damned Turks and the ......," Qin Cheng comforted.

Lan Jun waved his hand, lowered his head, and after a long while, he said: "I came out of Tianshui, traveled under the stars and nights, went north to cross the Yellow River, fought against Mu Xuan at the foot of Qilian Mountain, and repaired the Li family, so that they could take advantage of the strong city walls of Liangzhou, sufficient grain and grass, and the Turkic cavalry was not good at attacking the city to hold on to the advantages of waiting for help. ”

Qin Cheng agreed: "Such a tactic is undoubtedly the most reasonable. ”

Lan Jun continued: "At first, the development of the war, as you and I expected, the army and Mu Xuan's main force fought a decisive battle. Relying on the danger of the location and the soldiers' lives, my 80,000 troops defeated Mu Xuan's 120,000 cavalry, the main Turkic force was scattered, fled north, and the defenders of Liangzhou killed out of the city, and the crisis was immediately resolved, and this battle was also a great victory. ”

"Yes, I should have thought that only you can defeat the main Turkic forces." Qin Cheng admired.

"After the Turks fled, we were exhausted, so we had to rest in place, who knows, hell demon soldiers......"

Lan Jun stopped talking, at this time his heart was already full of grief and indignation, hatred was fierce, and in his mind, there was also a sea of blood, burning the mountain,

The soldiers wore blood-soaked battle robes, armor covered with sword marks, and broken shields with arrows and arrows, dragging the exhausted and wrecked bodies, but they showed indomitable courage to fight to the death. At the foot of Qilian Mountain, the tragic cry shook the sky; Barren Gobi, bleeding and drifting; In the ancient land of Xiliang, corpses are everywhere; A hundred miles from the right side of Long, the soul of injustice is difficult to disperse!

……

"Humph!" Qin Cheng slammed the table and said, "I didn't expect Dugu Luo to be so despicable and vicious, damaging the villain!" He actually took advantage of your exhaustion after the war to strangle him, I really want to scrape him alive! ”

"What is he? Yuwen Hu's eagle dog is just that. Lan Jun snorted coldly: "This vicious hell hawk dog, I can't forget the blood-red, crazy, devouring eyes he stared at me back then. ”

"It's good that he didn't recognize you today, and you're acting normally." Qin Cheng was a little worried.

"He was raging wildly on the battlefield, and when he saw me, he was like a demon seeing blood food, and he smiled and took out an edict." Lan Jun recalled.

Qin Cheng said: "I know that this edict is from the hand of Yuwen Hu. ”

The edict said: "Zhao Gui plotted rebellion, disorderly government, formed a party and plotted, intended to kill the king, and has now been ambushed, his son Zhao Yao, Litong betrayed the country, colluded with the Turks, and attacked Liangzhou, the crime is unforgivable." Now he ordered Dugu Luo to be the general of the expedition to the west, leading an army of 100,000 to go to Xiliang, exterminate the rebels, recover Liangzhou, and protect the territory and the people. ”

"This edict exploded like a thunderbolt over my heads and the soldiers, no one knew what was going on, no one knew why they suddenly became rebels, one moment they fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and the next moment they became criminals and thieves! What kind of mood is it to be fighting bravely for your country just now, but now you are being slaughtered by your own robes and brothers? What does it feel like?!!! The more Lan Jun spoke, the more excited she became, and finally she almost shouted.

"Senior brother......" Qin Cheng put one hand on his shoulder.

There was silence again.

"Dugu Luo smiled fiercely on his face, raised his knife and slashed at me, I didn't have time to react, and injured my left arm, so that I am still disabled......" Lan Jun subconsciously put his right hand on his left arm.

"No wonder, I feel that something is wrong with you in Dugu Mansion today, let me see." Qin Cheng pulled Lan Jun's left arm, rolled up his sleeves, and saw a green dragon lying dormant on his left arm.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the arms can't be stretched freely, and the sword can't be held." Lan Jun laughed at herself.

Qin Cheng felt sad for a while, the young general who once galloped on the battlefield could not dance the sword or pull the reins, how sad the junior brother should be in his heart.

Lan Jun pretended to be relaxed and said, "Alas. Senior brother, I'm not sad, why are you sad? ”

Qin Cheng shook his head and said, "How did you escape from their clutches in the end?" ”

"Several generals of the Zhao family army led their troops to rescue each other desperately, taking me out of the encirclement, the sky was blowing a strong wind again, the sky was full of yellow sand, it was difficult to see them a few steps apart, stumbling, it was difficult to move an inch, and finally fainted in the middle ......of the yellow sand, and after waking up, it was at the old valley master of Changsheng Valley." Lan Jun recalled.

"Southern Xinjiang Pubu? Eternal Valley? Qin Cheng was surprised.

"Yes, after falling into a coma, I met the warrior of Tuyuhun, sent by Old Prince Murong." Lan Jun said.

"Then you're really fateful, the sky won't stop you." Qin Cheng sighed.

"It may be that God feels that the grievance is difficult to snow, let me come back to Zhaoxue." Lan Jun smiled bitterly.

"What about your face? How did it become the way it is? "Qin Cheng has always been very curious about this question.

"This is thanks to the three unique thaumaturgical medical skills, poison techniques and Gu techniques of the Immortal Valley, after I broke out of the encirclement, I was already scarred and unrecognizable, plus the long way from Tuyuhun to the Immortal Valley, the wound had already suppurated, and it seemed that there was no way to return to the sky, fortunately, the old valley master used a unique Gu technique to plant a Gu on me, let it suck pus and blood, and then use the poison to drive out the Gu worms, and finally apply the elixir to the whole body, and lay on the bed for a full year before growing flesh and skin, so it became like this." Lan Jun said casually.

Qin Cheng looked at this little junior brother and listened to him talk about everything before and after seemingly easily, even a fierce general like himself who had killed countless enemies had a numb scalp, what a pain it was, what a torture, a hundred Gu carnivorous, poisonous, Ling Chi was nothing more than that.

There was silence for a long time. Qin Cheng said slowly: "At that time, Chang'an was also a bloody storm, Yuwen Hu poisoned the first emperor, and slaughtered the Duke of Chu, anyone who wrote to dissuade him would be degraded at least and imprisoned at worst, including Mr. Xun Shang, even King Wen's own younger brother, Yuwen Hu his own uncle, he also killed him. All of a sudden, several princes and ministers' mansions were washed in blood, nearly 1,000 people were killed, civil ministers and military generals, angry and afraid to speak, the government and the opposition, trembling, until now, for the old things, no one dared to say a word in the preface of Yuwenhu. I also...... Hey, it's muddy, and it's like a year. ”

"Fortunately, you weren't in Chang'an back then, otherwise now I wouldn't even be able to see you, the senior brother. After the death of King Wen, Yuwen Hu Jugong was self-reliant, formed a party to usurp power, abolished a new monarch, stole artifacts, and the government and the opposition had long been dissatisfied. I wanted to uphold the righteousness in the world, so I was edicted to start an incident, but I didn't expect it to start in a hurry, and it ended up in the ...... of the current situation, Yuwen Hu took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, and killed the dissatisfied forces in the court in one fell swoop, and finally made the famous Eight Pillar Generals, the mainstay of the imperial court, the death of the dead, the hidden hidden, and the forbearance of forbearance. ”

"In addition to the deceased King Wen, the old general Li Hu, and Ling Zun, Yan Guogong Yu is dedicated to reciting Buddha, Wei Guogong Dugu Xin lives in the mansion, ignoring the world, Guangling Wang Yuanxin has always been a dog and horse, Zhao Guogong Li Bi guards the royal clan, often goes out to supervise the royal auspicious soil, away from the government, Hou Mo Chen Chong is outside the border. I think they're all helpless. ”

"I don't believe that these iron-blooded old generals on the battlefield will die out with blood, they should not be triggered, one day, when the fire in his heart is ignited again, it will be the death of his Yuwen Hu!"
