"With so much salt, do you want to poison me? Come on, drag them out, beat them to death with sticks! Tuqi Shi Ye Hutu slammed a bowl of milk tea to the ground and roared loudly. (Note: Ye Hu, the official title, is generally held by the Khan's relatives.) Lower than the special service, higher than the tribal ejin. ）

"Spare your life! Spare your life, Ye Hu! The slave maid will change you to a new pot of tea, and this will change the ......" Toya, the favorite concubine who had served him for three years and had countless skin-to-skin kisses with him, was so frightened that her face was as pale as earth, and she knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately. However, Ye Hu's photograph remained unmoved, like a lion about to grow old, pacing around the table irritably.

Brown milk tea flows slowly on a carpet of expensive Persian flowers. Several guards rushed in, grabbed the favorite concubine Toya like a lamb, and dragged her out. After a while, a scream came from outside the door, and the cry for mercy disappeared completely. However, the irritability in the heart of the Trolli Shi Ye Hutu was not alleviated in the slightest. He continued to frown, looking for any target with triangular eyes to breathe.

The maidservants around were so frightened that they were silent. The guards outside the door were so frightened that they didn't even dare to speak out loud. lest he attract Ye Hu's attention to himself and lose his life inexplicably.

"Where are the people, where are they all dead, come in and be shocked, and change the carpet!" After turning around the house more than 20 times in a row, he couldn't find a new target to vent, turned his eyes to the door, and commanded sharply.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Several male servants agreed to rush in, rolled up a large Persian flower carpet worth dozens of hangs, but was soiled by milk tea, and prepared to carry it out. Ye Hu took the picture, but he disliked the servants for being too slow, walked over, kicked them one by one, and kicked the servants all over the ground.

When the last servant was also kicked to the ground, the mood of the photo was finally a little happier. Walking back to the table, he sat down on the chair with a golden knife, picked up the copper kettle that had not had time to be withdrawn, and swallowed the siphon from mouth to mouth.

This time, he didn't feel salty. It wasn't until most of the pot of milk tea with too much salt fell into my stomach that I stood up again, gasping and asking, "Is there any news from the Jiturbidity Pavilion?" Did the scouts come back? It's been two days, why is there still no response? ”

"Qi Yu Ye Hu, the scout hasn't come back yet! There's no latest news from the Jiturity Pavilion yet! Daganqu Li trotted in, bowed down and responded in a low voice, "But the walls of the Jixun Pavilion are far taller than the other cities, and it is the last residence of the Baxi Tribe, so the Tang army may not be able to easily defeat it!" (Note: Dagan, official title, equivalent to military division, chief of staff)

"Ten days ago, you said the same thing, and the result?!" Ye Hu glared at Dagan Quli fiercely, and counted it angrily.

Daganqu Li was speechless, blushing and bowing his head.

Ten days ago, the news of the Tang army's departure from Shule reached Gumo, and at that time, only Ye Huzhitu thought that the situation was not good, and he sent a warning to the Great Khan Suo Ge despite public opinion. And he and the rest of the Aijin and Tutun people in Gumo City all thought that Guo Yuanzhen was just showing the Tang Emperor, and he would not really risk tearing his face with the ten great khans of Tuqi Shi.

Moreover, Gushi Mountain and Qishan are easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the Turkic generals stationed in the two places can hold on until the Turkic reinforcements who originally went to support the cover arrive, with Guo Yuanzhen's weak nature, he will definitely retreat without a fight.

However, what happened next left everyone stunned. With almost no effort, the Tang army captured Gushi Mountain and Qishan Mountain one after another, and then, they encountered two thousand Turkic soldiers and horses in the field and defeated the latter directly head-on!

And two days ago, there was new bad news, Baxi Sakun Saijia was beheaded by the Tang army, and the Confessor Pavilion was also lost. The situation is worse than Ye Hu's original prediction, and it is still going in a worse direction!

"Suo Ge, is there any new instruction for me?" Ye Hu's anger had disappeared most of the time at this moment, and for the sake of the enemy, he did not fight with Qu Li, but took the initiative to change the topic to another direction.

"No, not yet. Except, except for the paperwork from five days ago! The pressure Qu Li felt did not lighten at all. Continue to keep your head down, not daring to make eye contact with the photographer's gaze.

In the document sent by the fast horse relay five days ago, Suo Ge, as the Great Khan, severely reprimanded the photo Ye Hu. thought that this person was too afraid of Datang, so he heard a little about the change, and he messed up. and ordered the photo to protect Yehu, no matter who comes to attack, he must hold Gumo Prefecture and hold the grain and grass in Gumo Prefecture. Otherwise, don't blame him for being a nephew who doesn't care about family affection. In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, how to deal with the loss of land in the lost city, Tuqi Shi will definitely copy it as it is.

This letter caused a complete collapse of the picture's emotions. In the next five days, he executed three beautiful concubines, two slaves, and a little arrow who was so loud that he was disturbing to rest. Jiang Daganquli, Ejin Kemeng, Tutun Loren and other subordinates and colleagues also scolded at every turn.

However, no matter how angry and crazy he was, he never had the courage to disobey Suoge's orders, and even though he forced everyone in the city like a mad dog, he showed twelve points of spirit and prepared for the upcoming fierce battle.

"Report, Ye Hu, the Han people in the city are all gathered together. There were also 1,240 men and women, most of whom were craftsmen, langzhong, and veterinarians from all over the country. Outside the council hall, a hoarse voice was heard, like the hiss of a night owl's mouth.

It was Luo Buluo, the henchman of the photo, who was blinded in one eye by the Tang Army more than ten years ago. Therefore, I hate all the Tang people in my heart. I wish the war would continue forever until the Turks invaded Chang'an City.

"Locked up, from today onwards, don't give them any more food. If the Tang army comes, they will be put to death in batches! Ye Hu thought about it and commanded loudly, as if he was instructing the housekeeper to prepare to slaughter cattle and sheep.

"Yes!" Little Arrow Robro shouted excitedly, and then ran away with his legs. Daganqu Li was shocked when he heard this, and his courage became stronger and stronger, so he risked being beaten by the photograph, and cautiously reminded, "Ye Hu, if you slaughter the Tang people in front of the Tang army, in the future, there will be no possibility of peace between the two sides?" ”

"Do you think it's still possible now?" Ye Hu turned his face to him suddenly, waving his hands, his voice was full of desolation, "My good Dagan, since I attacked Qiuzi, we and Datang have been dying!" ”

"No, hasn't it already been announced, only anti-Zhou Yiyi, not anti-Datang?" Dagan Quli sighed in his heart, but he was comforted.

"Are you a fool to be the emperor of the Tang Dynasty? is still a Tang Dynasty official and general, all of them are Guo Yuanzhen! Ye Hutu pursed his lips and sneered, shaking his head again and again, his eyes were full of despair and madness.

Daganquli couldn't answer the question, and lowered his head in disdain. A few months ago, Suo Ge convened all the nobles to discuss the matter, and the photo was taken in front of everyone to dissuade Suo Ge from accepting it when he saw it. But at that time, most of the nobles, including Qu Li, stood on Suoge's side. And now, the city of Qiuci has been unable to be captured for a long time, and the Tang army of Khotan and Shule has pounced on the flanks and backs of the Turgish.

"If ten days ago, I heard that the Tang army on Shule's side was coming, Suo Ge listened to my words and retreated to Broken Leaves, let's rush to ride Shi, and have the opportunity to rely on the Turks and find a glimmer of life." As if sensing the remorse in Qu Li's heart, Ye Hu continued to wave his arms and sneered, "And now, haha, either we all die here, or let Anxi completely break away from Datang, other than that, there is absolutely no third possibility!" ”

"We, we're not going to die here. We can eat at least two years of food and baggage in the city! Daganqu Li shuddered in his heart, but he didn't think that the situation was as serious as the picture said, "The city wall of Gumo is three zhang high, and the four gates are equipped with iron gates. There were more than 7,000 samurai in the city, and the enemy army was said to be only about 3,000. ”

"What about Zhou Yiyi, did you count him? More than ten days ago, he arrived at the mouth of the three rivers together with the Ashina Chung Festival. It's just that he couldn't break through the interception of the special agent Nero, so he stopped there for the time being. When he and Nero decide the winner, where do you think he's going to attack next?! Ye Hutu continued to wave his hands, his hair flicking back and forth like a horse's tail that had not been combed for a long time.

"This ......," Daganquli said again.

The Tang Dynasty is too big, and there are too many Tang people. Alone against any of the armies led by Niu Shiyu, Zhou Yiyi, and Guo Yuanzhen, Tuqi Shi has the chance to win. However, once two of these three armies joined forces, the Turgish, without relying on foreign aid, saw no chance of victory at all.

And now, the three-way Tang army in the Western Regions has come two and a half! As for why Shule came halfway, Daganquli still hasn't figured it out. However, he knew that the rumors that Guo Yuanzhen was forced to send troops were by no means credible. Otherwise, the combat effectiveness of the three thousand Tang Army would not be so strong, and the morale would not be so high!

"Suo Ge didn't listen to me, and he has already slaughtered the broken leaves. Here, in Khotan, Kupila, and the Han people of Axiyan, he also left only craftsmen, langzhong and craftsmen. The voice suddenly turned low, and Ye Hu held his forehead with his hand, making a gesture of regret, "If the news of the massacre is not transmitted back to Chang'an, we still hope that through Guo Yuanzhen, we will state that the reason for the original army was forced." When the news of the massacre returned to Chang'an, the Tang Emperor must hate us to the bone. And the Han people have always held grudges, and these more than 1,000 people in the city, although they are obedient on the surface, once the Tang army is killed in the city, they will definitely try their best to cooperate with the outside world! ”

There is no logic in the east and the west. However, Daganquli sighed and nodded.

The Turk Shi Ten Divisions and Suo Ge have come to the present, and there is no turning back. Whether you kill the more than 1,000 craftsmen in the city or not, the result is the same.

Right now, it's too late to retreat to Broken Leaves. On the other hand, there is no way to send more reinforcements before the spring of next year. If the Tuqi Shi people want to escape the revenge of the Tang army, there is only one way, defeat the Niu Shi Award, defeat Zhou Yiyi, defeat the 3,000 Tang troops who suddenly killed behind them, and completely cut off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the four towns of Anxi!

In this way, it is good to continue to bargain with the Tang Dynasty, whether the people of the people take refuge in the Turks, or the people of the people take refuge in the Great Food, and the Ten Divisions of the Turks will have enough capital! Otherwise, how much blood debt you owe at the beginning will have to be repaid twice in the future!

"Early tomorrow morning, no matter whether the scouts come back or not, you defend the city, and I will lead four thousand brothers to the Jiturity Pavilion to rescue Ba Side!" Ye Huzhi suddenly sighed again, and then made a decisive decision. Between his eyebrows, which are no longer young, there is a faint hint of his brother's heroism when he was alive.

"No!" Daganquli was taken aback, and hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "The Tang army that came from the direction of Shule may not be as rumored, there are only three or four thousand people!" Even, it may not be the Jinshan Army. The combat effectiveness of the Jinshan Army is not so strong, and Guo Yuanzhen's use of troops is not so fierce! ”

This was the conclusion he had come to after hearing that the Turks had been routed head-on by a similar number of Jinshan troops in the field. The reason why I didn't say it before was because I was worried that it would affect morale, and secondly, I was worried that I would make a mistake in judgment again and be caught in a picture of my pigtails. And now, in order to prevent the photographer from leading his troops out of the city to fight with the Tang army, he had to choose to tell the truth.

"I don't think it's Jinshanjun either!" The reaction to the photo was once again beyond his expectations. smiled and shook his head with a grin, "I even suspect that Guo Yuanzhen paid a big cannibal to help!" However, I can't continue to wait here, waiting for the two Tang armies to converge under Gumo City. Believe me, how chaotic the hearts of the two of us are, how chaotic the hearts of the samurai of all races in the city are! ”

"This ......" Daganqu Li stood up with a red face and solemnly bowed his hand.

Without waiting for the two Tang armies to converge, the photo still has a chance to defeat them separately. And once the two Tang armies converged, the picture could only be taken to defend Gumo. With the morale of the soldiers in the city at the moment, Dagan Quli is really not sure to calculate, how long can everyone hold it?

"Still remember what I said just now, after I leave, as long as the Tang army appears outside the city, you will order to kill all the Han people in the city, so as not to collude with the Tang army!" Gently Chong Qu Li nodded, and Dagan continued to command. The hands clenched together and the joints rattled.

"I'm going to patrol the city!" In Daganqu Li's heart, a sudden sadness swelled up. With red eyes, turn around quickly so that the tears are not seen by the other party.

The Turgish tribes did not have to be like this. A few years ago, under the mediation of Guo Yuanzhen, they attached themselves to the Tang Dynasty. Datang has always been generous to all the troops of the Tuqi Shi. Taxes were never collected from the ministries, and various types of grain and medicinal seeds were given on a regular basis so that the herdsmen of the ministries could support themselves.

And after the death of the old khan, everything changed. With the support of the elders, the old khan's son, Suoge, succeeded in defeating the figure and ascending to the throne of the khan. Immediately, he began to ambitiously prepare to bring the tribes of the Western Regions under his control......

"Ye Hu, Ye Hu-" Someone rushed in head-on, almost colliding with Qu Li,

A nervous feeling instantly enveloped Qu Li's body. He grabbed the arm of the person who came and scolded him sharply: "Don't scream, calm down, what's the matter, there's news from the Jiturity Pavilion?" ”

"No, but, but, Bathidaejin, with his people, has fled outside the city. Request, beg Ye Hu to let him and his people take refuge in Gumo! Little Arrow Fu Luo had a pair of panda eyes on his head, gasping for a report. Every sentence made Dagan Quli's heart shrink again!

"I'll take a look!" Without waiting for Dagan Quli to react, Ye Hu had already pushed him and Xiao Jianfu away and strode out of the door.

"Beware of deception, our scouts should have come back one step earlier!" Daganquli did not hesitate to follow, and at the same time reminded loudly.

"I know!" Ye Hu nodded, and as he walked, he pulled out the scimitar on his waist.

At this moment, no matter how much unhappiness has ever been between the two sides, it must be put aside. Daganquli also drew his scimitar and held it in his hand, beckoning all the brothers who could see it along the way to follow.

When he and Ye Huzhi came to the city gate, there were already two or three hundred people behind them. It even included two Aijin and one Tutun. According to the official rank, everyone climbed the enemy tower along the horse road in turn, and then, with their hands on the pergola, looked down.

The night was dark, and the sky was completely obscured by the clouds of stars and moonlight. The people who came outside the city to ask for attachment thoughtfully lit torches so that Ye Hu could see his face clearly.

It was indeed Ekin Bathid of the Bassi, who was covered in blood and lay dying on a woollen stretcher, and his life and death were unpredictable. Standing next to the stretcher was the shaman Guluto of the Baxi Department, also covered in blood and ragged clothes. Looking to the side, it is the nobles of the Ba Xi Department who are familiar to everyone, such as Xiao Jian Ba Xi Yue Ban, Ba Xi Dan Luo, and Ba Xi Ula Drink. Everyone's face was full of nervousness and despair.

"Ye Hu Diagram, help, save my life from the top and bottom of the Pull Xi Division, I Pull Xi Gollum Tuo is willing to swear to the Immortal Heaven, and after that, the Ministry will be merged into Ye Hu Diagram's command! If I disobey, let the gods kill me and stake my soul under the ice of ten thousand years, from which I will never be freed! Without waiting for Ye Hu's photo to ask, the shaman Gollum knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily.

"Ye Hu took the picture, and the department was incompetent, and he lost the Jiturbidity Pavilion. Please open the door and let us in, we are willing to run away!! Little Arrow Pulls Si Yueban, Pulls Si Danluo, Pulls Si Ula and others also fell to their knees, pleading bitterly, their voices full of grief and despair.

"Ye Hu took the picture, help, save my life!" In an instant, the only remaining clansmen outside the city jumped off their horses and kowtowed to the enemy tower.

"When did you lose it? What about the scouts I sent? Did you meet them? Ye Hu didn't dare to believe it easily, and asked loudly with a frown.

"Before, the day before yesterday!" Ba Si Golu raised his head, his voice full of shame, "We didn't meet any scouts, we killed half of our clansmen in battle, and we escaped the pursuit of the Tang army. Along the way, they also encountered interception by the Tang Army many times......"

Before the words fell, in the darkness, there was already a clear sound of painting horns, like a tiger roaring and a dragon groaning. Immediately after, the sound of horses' hooves also came from afar, and the city walls and the ground under their feet were trembling slightly.

Under the cover of night, I don't know how many Tang troops were killed. It will definitely be able to kill all the remnants of these more than 1,000 troops. Immediately, Xiao Jian Ba Xi Yue Ban and Ba Xi Dan Luo both stood up, first silently saluted Ye Hu Zhitu, and then jumped on their mounts and went straight to the direction where the horn came from.

More than 200 men from the Ba Si tribe got up one after another, jumped on their mounts, and followed closely behind Ba Si Yueban and Ba Si Dan Luo, like moths to a fire. Soon, in the distance at night, there was the sound of fighting. The cold wind blowing from the southwest also vaguely brought blood.

"Ye Hu, open the door and let them in! Please! The two tribesmen turned their heads and prayed with red eyes.

The other tribal warriors around him all had red eyes, their palms pressed against the hilt of their swords at their waists, and they were panting like oxen.

In Gumo City, less than a quarter of the samurai belonged to the Suage headquarters. The big war was imminent, and Ye Hu didn't dare to let the samurai of all departments centrifuge. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and resolutely ordered in a deep voice, "Open the city gate and let the people in!" ”

"Wait, people and horses can come in, let them drop their weapons at the gates!" Dagan Quli was not at ease, and added loudly beside him.

This proposal immediately made many people around him look at him angrily. However, Ye Hutu decisively adopted his suggestion. First let a few of his subordinates shout outside the city, and order the defectors not to carry weapons into the city. After seeing the angry nobles and warriors of the Basibu tribe and throwing their weapons at their feet, he ordered the samurai of the main department to open the city gate.

Several of his own soldiers carried Basid, who did not know whether he was alive or dead, and ran into the city quickly, and Basiwula, a small arrow from Basi, followed closely with his heads hung down and other tribesmen. The shaman of the Baxi tribe, Gollum, stood at the gate of the city, urging everyone to speed up, lest the pursuers kill all the people who had gone to intercept them, and then kill them all at the city gate.

"Where's the wound? Hurry up, send him to my line, and I'll arrange the best Langzhong for him! Knowing his order, it was easy to chill the warriors of the various divisions who were not descendants, Ye Hu took the initiative to walk down from the horse road and greeted the monks on the stretcher.

"It's okay, it's okay!" Ba Sid struggled to sit up straight on the stretcher, and reached for the torch next to him, "Thank you Ye Hutu, I have a gift for you." ”

"Be careful, he's not Bad!" Dagan's voice suddenly came from behind, with a nervous pretense.

It's really not Ba Sid, it's far away just now, and it looks like the silhouette is very similar. At this moment, Ye Hu can distinguish many differences. Especially the authentic Tang Yan, which is definitely not something that the turtle of Ba Xide can say!

Relying on instinct, Ye Hu took the picture to retreat decisively, hiding himself under the protection of the descendant warriors, and at the same time, a broken cry came out of his mouth, "He didn't pull out Sid, kill them all, and close the city gate!" ”

An iron lump flew up from the hands of "Basid", dragged the red star, and fell on top of his head. "Boom!" The volley exploded, engulfing him and the samurai around him in the smoke.
