Chapter 2 (Part I)

The story of Wang Xuance riding alone to pacify the countries of the Western Regions has almost spread to the point that women and children know it in the Tang Dynasty. How could Yu Wenzhi not understand what Wang Xun meant? However, the contrast between the good friend and the back is too great, almost to the point of changing people in an instant, so that he can't help but be dumbfounded, and after a while, he muttered in response: "Crazy, you are really crazy!" ”

"Now you and I, if you don't go crazy, can you still live?" Wang Xun grinned, shook his head and asked. "When you were in Chang'an, you relied on Zhu Qi, but you were sold by others! When I was in Anxi, I wanted to rely on Fourth Uncle Feng, but who knew that Fourth Uncle Feng also had places that I couldn't take care of. In this barren mountains and mountains where there is no village in front and no land in the back, who else can you and I rely on? Dong Cao, Gu Mo? And who knows that those earth kings will not tie us up as a pouch and give it to the big cannibal? ”

"He, they ......." Yuwen Zhi was speechless. Previously, he proposed to abandon the caravan and rush to the nearby city with his guards to ask for help, which was originally an unapproachable solution. It's a little better than eating and waiting for death on the road like now, but there is no guarantee that the other party will accept everyone. There is no guarantee that the chieftains in the city will not have bad intentions and kill everyone in the mission, so as to achieve the goal of extermination.

"If we don't fight ourselves, we will fall by the trees and the walls will collapse!" Wang Xun glanced at Yu Wenzhi fiercely, as if to extinguish the last glimmer of hope in the other party's heart, "Now, we can only rely on ourselves and our brothers to get out of a desperate situation!" If you don't have any ability at all, you will find Yang Guozhong to take revenge in the future, and you will be lucky enough to escape back to Anxi, and there will be no place for our brothers to stand in the army! ”

This time, it was Yuwenzhi's turn to show his weak side, pursed his lips, and after a while, he muttered: "Feng, Feng Shuai, Feng Shuai is not that kind of person." Feng Shuai is not that kind of person, he will not harm his brothers! ”

"Then we have to fight for it!" Wang Xun glanced back at the team behind him and continued, "If you want others to treat you as a character, you have to treat yourself as a character first. Otherwise, you will be dispensable at any given time. No one hesitates to be treated as an outcast! ”

"Feng Shuai didn't treat us as outcasts. Especially you, Wang Mingyun! Yu Wenzhi's voice suddenly raised, frightening the nearby caravan guards to keep tightening the reins of the war horse, "You took the initiative to ask for it." You can't blame Feng Shuai, absolutely not! ”

He had no one to rely on in Chang'an City back then, and it wasn't until he entered the White Horse Fort camp that he really felt safe. So in his heart, he has long regarded Feng Changqing as a figure like his father, and he can't tolerate the slightest slander from others. Including Wang Xun, absolutely not. But at the moment, Wang Xun was suddenly so strong that he was almost unreasonable, shrugged his shoulders, and sneered: "Of course I believe in Fourth Uncle Feng." But now you and I can't count on him at all. In Anthy, there is no hope. Here, even more unlikely. In a word, I want to show the banner of the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, do you want to do it with me! ”

"Show the flag?" Yuwen Zhi couldn't catch up with Wang Xun's train of thought at all, and responded with a frown. What's the use of putting the flag out? That thing can't be used as a weapon? But in the blink of an eye, an aggressive glint appeared in his eyes, "Did you want to do this for a long time?!" Xue Jingxian's trick for you, right, right! ”

Showing the banner of the Tang Dynasty envoy is equivalent to exposing the purpose of everyone's trip in broad daylight. It is also equivalent to forcing the surrounding forces to stand in line, either immediately falling to the Tang Dynasty, which has just won the battle, or continuing to be loyal to the big cannibals. Don't want to be the first rat at both ends. All current tactics against the Mission have been declared null and void at the same time. Whether you want to rob and kill the mission to ask for merit from the cannibals, or if you want to help the mission in order to gain the support and understanding of the Tang Dynasty, you must put it on the table and do it with real swords.

With his understanding of his good friend, Wang Xun, who is generous and calm, would never have thought of such a decisive trick. Feng Changqing, who is loyal to the imperial court and has always been cautious in the use of soldiers, will not allow anyone to do this. This envoy was already a prelude, reaching the limit of what Feng Changqing could support. If you don't wait for the approval of the imperial court, you show the banner of the fox and the tiger, it is equivalent to tying the entire Tang Dynasty center to the chariot of the mission.

Among the people Yuwenzhi knew, the only one who was bold, careful, and shameless was Xue Jingxian. is the only person who will give Wang Xun this kind of ruthless trick of cutting off children and grandchildren.

However, his best friend's answer was once again beyond his expectations. "It's not Xue Jingxian! He didn't expect us to encounter the current embarrassing situation. I only thought of it when I was about to leave the city of Bakhana. We are waiting for the Anxi army to come with the power of victory, we are giving others a chance to mend their ways, so why bother sneaking? ”

"Rehabilitation?!" Yu Wenzhi suddenly discovered that Wang Xun was no longer the Wang Xun he knew. Although the shoulders still look just as strong, the faces look just as honest. But this ability to reverse black and white alone is enough to be impressive.

At that time, the Anxi army was defeated on the banks of the Talas River, and the actions of the countries of the Western Regions to fall to the Great Eclipse were understandable. Now that the Anxi Army has been disgraced, it is also reasonable for the countries of the Western Regions to re-invest in the Tang Dynasty. After all, the way for these small countries to survive is to go to Qin and Duchu. I never look at the act of seeing the wind and steering the rudder as a shame.

And as soon as Wang Xun said this, things completely changed. If the nearby forces immediately show their loyalty to Datang, Datang may "forgive" them for their betrayal back then. If they continue to hesitate, or have a grudge for the Great Cannibals, they deserve to be swept away by the plough.

It's not reasonable, it's not reasonable at all. No gentlemanly demeanor, not at all. But from the perspective of a Tang person, Wang Xun's words made Yu Wenzhi feel very enjoyable. It seems that only in this way is it more in line with their identity as envoys of the Celestial Empire. It seems that the victory is even more in hand!

"How is it, boy Yuwen, do you want to do it for me?" Looking at Yu Wenzhi's eyes full of confusion and hesitation, Wang Xun asked loudly again. The expressions on their faces are no different from when the two of them were doing evil on Chang'an Street.

"Erlang, what are you talking about?!" Yuwen asked habitually, and then looked up suddenly. Because of different personal experiences and attitudes towards things, in the past two years, the gap between him and Wang Xun has become deeper and deeper. But at this moment, the invisible wall between the two suddenly cracked a thin crack. Revealing the familiar warmth on the other side.

If you are going to die soon, at least this way of death is more painful and vigorous. In the blink of an eye, Yu Wenzhi had already made a decision, "Okay, let's give them another chance!" ”

"Take a few brothers to the sides of the procession, lest anyone be frightened and act rashly." slapped the other party with his hand, Wang Xun ordered unceremoniously. Immediately, he turned his mount and walked against the flow of people to the center of the line.

Yu Wenzhi grinned at his back, and then, nodded and called more than a dozen of his own subordinates, "Zhao Dayuan, Yang Hao, Shi Huaiyi, a few of you, each bring a group of brothers, and strengthen vigilance in all directions." Later, if you find someone who dares to run around disobeying orders, shoot them directly! ”

"No!" Several junior officers threw their hands in unison and responded loudly.

The people who were pointed out were all veterans who had seen blood, and as soon as the disguise that was not very qualified was removed, the whole body was immediately murderous. There was immediately a rush of confusion in the caravan, and countless pairs of eyes raised and looked at the center of the line in dismay.

That's where the big shopkeeper of "Li Ji" is. Although these days, this person is rarely seen. But that graceful and luxurious air still left a deep impression on the vendors.

However, something that shocked everyone even more was born. I don't know for what reason, but the big shopkeeper of "Li Ji" gave up his hand at the head of the guard surnamed Wang, Nuo Nuo. Just when everyone was puzzled, several burly "generals" pulled out a flag from the camel behind Li Ji's shopkeeper, shook it in the wind, and proudly picked it up above their heads.

"Tang" is a big red letter, a yellow flag, and the edges are decorated with tassels, which shine brightly under the sun.

The mystery that has been suppressed in everyone's hearts for many days has finally been revealed. For some reason, almost all of us feel not fear or surprise at this moment, but excitement and pride from the bottom of our hearts. Wang Xun and Yu Wenzhi's precautionary measures all failed, and the vendors first opened their mouths in disbelief, stretched out their hands to rub their eyes vigorously, and then suddenly erupted into cheers in unison.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Datang!"

"Datang!"

Although this homeland, which is hundreds of miles away, is not satisfactory, it makes the hearts of the wanderers who are away from home full of pride.

I'm a Don guy. With these words, countless yellow faces walked in a strange country, no matter how many dangers and setbacks they faced, they were always able to hold their heads high.

I'm a Don guy. With these words, countless yellow faces took root, sprouted, branched, and scattered leaves in unfamiliar areas. But he has never forgotten his ancestors and his own civilization.

At this moment, Datang does not only belong to the Li family.

At this moment, Datang is not just a court.

He belongs to all the children and grandchildren who love him, all the yellow faces who are proud of him and fight for him. He is the eternal totem in the hearts of all Central Plains wanderers.

Feeling the reverence in the cheers, the soldiers guarding the flag straightened up and did their best to straighten, high, and raise the flagpole.

The wind is blowing.

The golden autumn wind blew and blew the flag to hunt.
