Chapter 30: Wronged
Xiao Siye suddenly exited, stopped the lieutenant general, and then looked at the guard and said, "You can't open the door!" ”
The guard was stunned for a moment, and said curiously: "Why is this?" You are the chief of the Imperial Protectorate of His Majesty, the Turks are the people under your rule, now Xue Yantuo is just a stone's throw away, and after a while they will arrive at the land of a stone's throw, if you don't let these Turks enter the customs at this moment, will it be difficult to sit back and watch them be slaughtered by Xue Yantuo? At that time, even if the last general will have to sit back and watch his allies be slaughtered, I am afraid that Your Excellency will not escape the crime of dereliction of duty! ”
Xiao Siye took a breath, his mind raced, and said in a deep voice: "How can I not know? But I can't help it! There are so many Turkic people, people shouting and neighing, do you know if there are any of Xue Yantuo's fine works among them? Even if there is no Xue Yantuo's meticulous work, the Turks are Turks after all, and I am only in the long history of the capital protectorate, and I have been in contact with the Turks for many years, and I know their untamable wildness! The Turkic ancestors have been attacking the Great Wall for generations, and have also bypassed the Yanmen Pass several times and penetrated deep into the hinterland of Hedong to burn and loot, and even once the land was on the bank of Weishui, a stone's throw away from Chang'an! Who dares to guarantee that after these Turks enter the customs, they will not take the opportunity to make trouble and seize the pass? ”
"Ridiculous!"
The guards were about to laugh angrily, how could none of these young officials from the court be reliable?
There was a Fang Jun before, who was still a concubine, but he dared to go to Mayi alone, and it made the northern Xinjiang a mess, and now there is another Xiao Siye, full of crooked reasoning, which is simply unreasonable!
"The Turkic Khanate is an ally of the Tang Dynasty, defending the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty and defending against the barbarians. If you sit back and watch your allies be slaughtered at this moment, what do you want the other Hu tribes who are attached to the Tang Dynasty to think? Where does the majesty of the Tang Dynasty exist? Where is the majesty of Your Majesty? ”
The guard glared at Xiao Siye with a look of disdain.
I don't understand such a simple truth, so why don't you want to be a child of a family?
A straw bale......
Xiao Siye's eyes were blazing, and he said sharply: "It's nonsense!" General, at this moment, there are only 5,000 soldiers and horses up and down Yanmen Pass, do you know how many Turks are in the pass? At least sixty or seventy thousand! Not to mention whether the Yanmen Pass can accommodate so many people and a larger number of livestock, just say that once these Turks enter the pass and storm the pass, how will you deal with it? This one may exist, and it should not be overlooked! The Turkic people are fierce, both men and women can ride horses to kill the enemy, think about it, even if 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers are unarmed, in this narrow place in this pass, how can you, the 5,000 soldiers, resist? On the one hand, the Yanmen Pass was lost, and the Turks broke into the hinterland of Hedong, reproducing the shame of Weishui, the land of Jieli Khan, and on the other hand, the Hu people who were attached to the Tang Dynasty were slaughtered...... Which is the greater offense? Is it still necessary to weigh which is more important? ”
Guard: "......"
!
This guy seems to make a lot of sense!
If the Turks are killed, it must be a big crime to sit idly by, but if the Yanmen Pass is lost, and the Turks or Xue Yantuo people take advantage of the situation to cross the Great Wall and attack the hinterland of Hedong, then they are not only guilty, they are simply sinners of the nation......
It must be the kind of three tribes!
How good is that?
The guard general was at a loss and had no idea, but in his heart, he greeted the eighteen generations of Ashina Sima's ancestors.
Why didn't you go to Mayi City, which is closer and has a large army garrison, but ran to Yanmen Pass with great difficulty, is it just to block us?
He looked at the Turks who were crying out for help under the pass, and then looked at the Xue Yantuo people who were rushing to kill in the distance, and he hesitated in his heart, and a captain ran quickly and said in a low voice: "General, there will be something to report at the end." ”
Apparently there was a secret to be told.
The guard glanced at Xiao Siye, walked a few steps towards the gatehouse, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The lieutenant looked left and right, took out a cylinder from his arms, and handed it to the guard: "Just now, someone threw this thing on the head of the city, and a note was attached to it, saying that the general wanted to ......open it himself."
"Well, what's that?"
The guard was puzzled, took the cylinder, and started lightly, it was made of bamboo, with painted pictures on it, but it was mottled and fell off because of the age, but it did not have much shabby feeling, but it was round and delicate, and there was some precipitated charm.
There was a lid at one end, and the guard gently unscrewed it open, pouring a jade pendant inside into the palm of his hand......
His face changed!
It is a jade pendant carved from mutton fat white jade, and the pattern is a wolf head that looks up to the sky and roars, and the craftsmanship is exquisite and lifelike......
Holding the jade pendant tightly in the palm of his hand, the guard's face changed, and finally gritted his teeth, took the jade pendant into his arms, and ordered: "Open the gate immediately and let the Turks enter the customs!" The cavalry divided into five hundred and went to the rear of the Turks to block the pursuit of the Xue Yantuo people! ”
"No!"
The lieutenant received the order and hurried down the city wall.
After a while, the heavy gate of Yanmen Pass slowly opened, and several teams of heavily armed cavalry came out in a rigorous formation, and five hundred people were divided into two teams to stand on the left and right sides of the gate to maintain order, in order to prevent chaos and congestion when the Turks entered the pass, and five hundred people rode forward, running directly towards the rear of the Turks, trying to stop the Xue Yantuo people from continuing to pursue.
When the gate of the wild goose closed, Xiao Siye was furious, and shouted angrily at the guards who ignored him: "Stupid! Stupid! Do you know that once these Turks cause chaos in the pass, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
The guard general said in a deep voice: "I am the guard of Yanmen Pass, even if there is any mistake, it will naturally be borne by the last general, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Changshi!" ”
He was expressionless, and accentuated the words "long history", intending to remind Xiao Siye, even if you are older than me, but you are the long history of the Duhu Mansion, and you can't control me, the guard of Yanmen Pass, don't worry about this matter.
With a look of disdain, Xiao Siye's nose was almost crooked.
!
Lao Tzu chattered for a long time, and his mouth was about to wear out, but as a result, when he turned around, why did this bastard's idea become so firm?
Suspicious in his heart, he suddenly found that there was a red rope on the edge of the armor on the guard's chest......
Thinking about the captain just now, he called the guard to the side, as if he had given him something sneakily, Xiao Siye's mind was spinning, and he suddenly stepped forward, grabbed the red rope and pulled the jade pendant out......
The guard suddenly changed color and shouted, "What are you doing? ”
Xiao Siye pulled out the jade pendant, took it in his hand and looked at it, and it also changed color: "This is the family emblem of the Ashina family, how can it fall into your hands?" ”
The guard's face changed again, and he lost his voice: "What did you say?" The family coat of arms of the Ashina family? No way! ”
As he spoke, he waited to come forward and snatch it.
Xiao Siye took a step back with the jade pendant in his hand, and said loudly: "I am only in the history of the governor of the capital protection mansion, how many years have I been dealing with the Turks?" How can you not know this? Oh, I see! No wonder you ignored my reminder and insisted on letting the Turks enter the customs, it turns out that you are simply the Turks' meticulous work! ”
The guard was furious: "Fuck your fart!" Lao Tzu is a Han Chinese, this is a token of his father's deceased, how did it become a fine work of the Turks? If you dare to talk nonsense again, beware of Lao Tzu curing you with a crime that disturbs the hearts of the army! ”
scolded in his mouth, but he struck abruptly in his heart......
He didn't lie, this was indeed a token of an old friend of his father, and his father had taken him to Dingxiang City to visit the old man when he was saved by this person, so he had seen this jade pendant. But I never thought that it was the family crest of the Ashina family......
He regretted it at the moment, originally wanted to take the opportunity to repay his father's life-saving grace back then, and let the old man enter the customs with the Turks, if he knew that the old man was a member of the Ashina family, how could he dare to do this?
Didn't he make it clear to others that he was protecting the Turks, so he let him go?
Now that Xiao Siye has seen through it, I am afraid that I can't tell it clearly with a hundred mouths, and I am afraid that the charges made by a Turkic person will be confirmed......
Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Siye's eyes flickering deeply, and evil was born to the side of his guts.
"Someone! Tie up this Xue Yantuo's fine work for me and interrogate him severely! ”
The soldiers on the left were naturally the henchmen of the guards, and when they heard this, they were stunned at first, and said in their hearts how did this long history of the Shan Yu Protectorate become Xue Yantuo's meticulous work? However, the commander had an order, so he naturally didn't dare to disobey, and more than a dozen strong soldiers rushed up in a swarm, and Xiao Siye was pressed to the green brick ground before he could draw his sword to resist......
"Are you crazy? Lao Tzu is a Tang person, this person is the fine work of the Turks, and I still have ...... in my hands Woohoo......"
Xiao Siye scolded.
A soldier simply tore the hem of his shirt and stuffed it into Xiao Siye's mouth.
