"Are you a human or a ghost?" Qu Shuai forcibly drove his tongue away and vomited blood to open his mouth.

"You don't need to figure out who I am." Liu Bei asked, "Do you have a wish?" ”

Qu Shuai, who thought that Liu Bei would torture and question, couldn't help but be stunned: "The prince has nothing to ask?" ”

"I just asked, and you have nothing to say." Liu Bei smiled lightly: "Knowing that you are the seat of Sect Master Zhang, it is enough to be ordered to cause trouble in the Western Regions." ”

Qu Shuai, who was tied up with five flowers, kowtowed with difficulty: "Xie Junhou." ”

Liu Bei motioned left and right to take him away. Return the fish bubble poison sac taken from under the base of the tongue to him. Qu Shuai committed suicide with a smile.

Who is he, Liu Bei didn't even ask. Anyway, if I asked, what I said may not be true.

As mentioned earlier. In the frontier settlements, the influence of Taiping Dao is very limited. Because the alien races have their own beliefs. Unlike the land of Kanto, where Taoism is the original religion, the head of the Zhang sect raised his arms and responded in groups. In the Western Regions, before Sect Master Zhang raised his arms, he still had to defeat the various gods believed in by the countries of the Western Regions.

For the Taiping Dao, who entered the world from faith and obtained imperial power under the pretense of divine power. In the Western Regions, only by winning the Divine War first can we win the secular war.

The difficulty can be imagined. So, Sect Leader Zhang did the opposite. No longer play beans to become soldiers, water to cure diseases, these vain heads, demagogic magic and Taoism. Start directly from the world. Secretly participated in the struggle for royal power. Disrupting the Western Regions is one of them. Dragging Hanting is the second.

Third, the leader wanted to stop the spread of Buddhism. That's the most important thing.

Buddhism was imported to the Central Plains via the Silk Road. And in the long feudal process of later generations, it quickly replaced Taoism. As a representative of the original religion, the Taiping Daoist Zhang Sect Leader naturally would not allow foreign religions to touch the belief lineage and spiritual world of the Han people in the Central Plains.

Sect Leader Zhang's deep worries, Liu Bei did not consider it.

After dealing with the Taiping Dao believers, he ordered someone to bring in the leader of the horse thieves.

How did the Taiping Dao Qu Shuai get in, the leader of the horse thieves did not hide it, and he told it out. It is nothing more than pretending to be a businessman first, and simply joining the gang after being robbed. He also provided information about other caravans, and with a lot of credit, he gradually gained trust and was able to climb to a high position. On weekdays, he led an army with the leader of the horse thieves and plundered the merchants from the east and west of the Silk Road.

"Hanting Tianwei is not coming, let you and others stay in the lonely city, and I am also at fault. Now that I have arrived, it is your fault not to surrender. Liu Bei asked: "Are you willing to change your mind and return to my big man." ”

"I am willing to vote for the general. From now on, we will change our hearts and be loyal to the country! "The leader of the horse thieves prostrated to the ground.

"That's right. Let's take note of the previous ones. If it is reversed, it will not be forgiven. I have ordered people to ask the fathers and elders in the city, and they are willing to guarantee you. Think twice about what you do. Be cautious and don't harm your family. ”

"Whoa!"

Signaling to the left and right to loosen the ties, Liu Bei asked a few old soldiers with a pleasant face: "What do you think?" ”

"Xie Fujun is extrajudicial and gracious. Shame on the old decay! The old pawn burst into tears and fell to the ground.

Signaling the old pawn and the horse thief to take the lead and retreat, Liu Bei then raised the account and ordered the troops.

"Ko Young."

"Humble."

"I order you to lead the people of the headquarters, day and night, to rush to Liuzhong City, and present this letter to Master Li. Don't miss anything. ”

"Whoa!"

"Kojimitsu."

"Humble."

"You also led the men and horses of your headquarters, day and night, rushed to Yumen Pass, and presented this letter to the governor of Juyan's subordinate country. There must be no mistakes. ”

"Whoa!"

"Koji."

"The end will be."

"Bring the people of the headquarters and lead the caravan to Qiuzi together with An Xuan. Along the way, he falsely claimed that he had been plundered by horse thieves in Quli City, and most of his goods were lost. Seek to enter Yancheng to ward off trouble. ”

"Whoa!"

Liu Bei finally looked at the two righteous brothers: "Second brother, third brother, and walk with me." ”

"Whoa!"

Out of the tent, the sky has been revealed.

Saw An Xuan and Ko Yi lead the caravan out of the city. Only Liu Bei and his party remained in the camp.

One thousand and one thousand troop vehicles re-encamped. The ditch plough gates were guarded by embroiderers. Only in but not out. He also ordered hundreds of horse thieves to enter the camp and hand them over to two righteous brothers to train on their behalf, which may be used by surprise soldiers.

Five days later, Liu Bei led his troops out of the city and rushed to the court of the Qiuzi king.

"(Quli City) to Qiuzi five hundred and eighty miles."

Liu Bei asked the caravan to go first for five days, and guarded the city gate, only entering and not leaving. It is to plow the city in order to prevent the ditch, or the horse thief is a spy and steals to Qiuzi to report the news. Hundreds of horse thieves in addition to the descendants of the Han people in Quli City, there are more than 100 Zhuhu in the Western Regions. Don't be careful.

There is no need to worry about horse thieves defecting. Wives and children are all in the ditch plough city. I didn't know it before, but now I know that it was a horse thief. Parents at home are ashamed. Defu Jun opened the net and deserved to be guilty of meritorious service. How can you break your faith again? If so, what face will there be to see the father and elder of the family again. Besides, everyone knows that the prince of the mansion cut off his head and entered the marquis. If it is capricious, how many heads are there in the family that are enough for the prince to cut off!

The troop wagons roared out of the city. Shi Lian led a hundred embroidered clothes to guard the left and right. Horse equipment, horse thieves with new weather, open the way ahead.

On the way, I suddenly saw the forwards scattered. Then several horsemen rushed out, trying to flee.

But he was surrounded by the leader of the horse thieves and led the army, and slashed and killed indiscriminately.

No one escaped.

Liu Bei nodded happily. Shame and courage, the military heart can be used.

Xi Zhicai said with a smile, the whole family is one person. How can you not be careful.

Thousands of military chariots camped at night. In the middle of the night, I heard screams again.

Take a look at it early in the morning. I saw dozens of bloody Hu people's heads, already hanging under the big flagpole.

They were all killed by an arrow from the soul chasing crossbow.

The leader of the horse thieves entered the account and pleaded guilty. was relieved by Liu Bei's kind words. He also said that as long as he surrendered to Qiuzi, he could be the lieutenant of Quli City. All subordinates can receive military salaries.

The leader of the horse thieves was overjoyed.

The convoy was unhurried. Fly the three-legged black and red deer flame horn flags. Along the way, the shepherds avoided it. There are also scouts, snooping back and forth. Seeing Liu Bei's banner from afar, they all returned in horror.

The royal city of Qiuzi is rumoring. Herdsmen from outside the city drove large herds of cattle and sheep into the city. Vehicles carrying people and horses were crowded at the city gate, and there was chaos for a while.

The court of Qiuzi will be skeptical. Didn't it be conclusive before, the long history of the Western Regions was far away in Gaochang Daxing Tuntian? How can you lead your troops to sneak up and reach the royal city!

Before the argument came out. Unexpectedly, another scout came to report. In other words, the 1,000 wolf riders of the state who are hoarded in Gaochang Wall have been dressed in stars and moons, day and night, and occupy Wulei City!

"Wulei, ten households, one thousand two hundred, three hundred victories. There is one captain and one post chief. It is governed with the Metropolitan Protectorate. It is three hundred and thirty miles south to the canal plow. ”

In the second year of Emperor Xuan's reign (60 years ago), he set up the Western Regions Protectorate here. Later, the capital moved several times. The present Han Dynasty withdrew the capital and changed it to the Changshi Mansion.

The court of the king of Qiuzi is in chaos. Hurriedly sent a message to the surrounding subject countries and asked for support.

Unexpectedly, all the surrounding countries cowered and did not move. In a hurry, a neighboring country sent an envoy to complain. Saying that not long ago, the commander of the Juyan subordinate country led 4,000 cavalry of the Xiaoyue clan out of the Yumen and arrived at Quli City.

Attack from the north to the south. The goal is turtles!
