Chapter 5: The Purple Robe (Eight Below)

Immortal God! Chu Mu Kun Tumati suddenly looked at the old fox Kang Zhongxin, and was so envious that he almost didn't fall out of his sockets. Stone City is backed by the end of the river, there are several large oases with abundant water and grass in the south and north of the city, and there are hundreds of miles of Gobi Desert in the west of the city for pasture cultivation. Over the years, I don't know how many Western Regions tribes have fought the idea of this city, but they have all been desperately killed and retreated by the warriors of the Ma Tribe. Unexpectedly, General Zhou just said casually, and the anointed land within a radius of hundreds of miles changed its owner.

Thinking of this, the great Ejin Tumati of the Mukun Department regretted it more and more in his heart. knew that this was the case, so why did he bother to slap Ge Shuhan's ass with a shy face? Wouldn't it be enough to follow the Loulan people to take over the task of protecting the baggage team? Even if you can't get the master of Stone Town to make it, at least you can share a bowl of soup to drink? How could it be like now, stealing chickens can't be done, but almost losing everything!

His eyes were burning with envy. The old fox Kang Zhongxin was dazed by the big pie that suddenly fell from the sky. Compared to the two, the stone town surrounded by the oasis is a little bit stronger than the hot spring valley where the Loulan people are currently hiding. However, in terms of overall strength, the difference between the Loulan tribe and the Maqi tribe is more than a little bit. At present, although the latter has just suffered a heavy blow, it will be difficult to recover in ten or eight years. But when fighting on flat ground and both sides were in no danger, the Loulan people did not have the slightest chance of winning. However, the area around Stone Town is empty. If Kang Zhongxin dared to accept the gift of General Zhou today, the Maxi tribe who had lost their homeland would not have the courage to resent Anxi Jiedu to be ruthless, but they would definitely fight to the death with the Loulan tribe.

"How? Do you think I am being paid less? Seeing that Kang Zhongxin had always refused to thank him, Zhou Xiaofeng glared at him and asked in a deep voice.

"No, not low. Too high, too high! At this time, the old fox Kang Zhongxin finally understood the taste. From the beginning, Zhou Laohu didn't plan to go back the two percent of the baggage that the Loulan people had already detained. Instead, he tried to use this ordnance to tie the Loulan clan to the chariot of the Anxi army. In the future, the responsibility of protecting the Tang Dynasty business travelers along the Loulan Ancient Road fell on the head of the Loulan Department. At the same time, the Loulan tribe had to always be on guard against the Mali people and several other tribes living in the Jimo River valley joining forces to retaliate.

"You deserve it. I, Zhou Laohu, are the most reasonable! I won't lose a person who has made a contribution to the Anxi Army, and of course, I won't forgive a guy who dares to offend Datang Tianwei! Turning his head and glancing at Xiao Luo and Shi Huaiyi, who were still ignorant, Zhou Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and smiled.

Involuntarily, the divine doctor Xiao Luo felt a chill on his body, and quickly shrunk his neck and hid behind Shi Huaiyi. Shi Huaiyi was also laughed at by Zhou Laohu, but he didn't dare to live up to Xiao Luo's trust, stiffened his body, and kept looking at his own family patriarch, the old fox Kang Zhongxin. I also secretly wondered in my heart, 'Isn't it a good thing to be able to get the Stone Fort and the hundreds of miles of pasture around it?' Why does the patriarch look like he's going to cry? ’

Indeed, the old fox Kang Zhongxin is in the mood to cry now. Such a great favor, he had no reason to refuse it. If you refuse, you won't be able to explain to the other elders in the clan when you turn around! But in the future, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Loulan Department will face a catastrophe. At a loss, there was a sudden howl in my ears. The Abbasids, who had killed all the "scum" of his own clan, trotted forward, threw himself to the ground, hugged Zhou Xiaofeng's legs and begged loudly, "General Zhou is gracious, General Zhou is gracious." You drove the Macricorns out of the Stone Fort, and let our whole clan of more than 70,000 old and young people, where to go to settle down! ”

"Didn't you find a new pasture on the west side of the river a long time ago? Why, suddenly reluctant to leave? Zhou Xiaofeng lifted his legs, shook off Abbas's arm, and asked with a sneer.

"General's mercy, General's mercy!" Abbasid took a few steps on his knees, hugged Zhou Xiaofeng's boots again, and refused to let go. "It was my brother and the shaman's idea. The two of them were blinded by lard and went to a dead end on their own. But other men, women, and children of the Maqi tribe are loyal to the Tang Dynasty! ”

The Maqi clan did have an appointment with the envoy of the Geshu tribe in advance, and after completing the task of intercepting and killing the baggage team, if they were afraid of Feng Changqing's investigation, they migrated to the rule of Geshuhan. Ge Shuhan was sent by Hexi Jiedu to the vicinity of Daze in Yumen Pass, and a richer and wider oasis was allocated for the Mali people to cultivate and recuperate. Anyway, at present, in the hands of the envoys of Hexi Jiedu, there is the territory seized by the Turks after Wang Zhonghe's destruction.

But now instead of completing the task assigned by Geshubu, the Maqi tribe has greatly reduced its strength. For Ge Shuhan, it has become a complete chicken rib. If you throw yourself to Hexi with a shy face, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat.

The Abbasids could not speak of these sufferings. I only dared to grab the ground with my head and howled non-stop. Zhou Xiaofeng was impatient when he heard this, raised his leg again, kicked the Abbasid a few feet away, and asked with a sneer: "Just such a loyal method?" And when I am not looking, you take a knife and cut my brother? I don't believe that if the whole clan is unwilling to fight, your brother and the shaman will have the courage to come and die by themselves! ”

"We can't beat him. My arms can't reach my thighs! Abbasid looked back at the thousands of native warriors in close proximity and continued to cry. After howling a few times, knowing that he couldn't explain it based on lies alone, he wiped the blood on his face and sobbed and added: "The heads of the two dog thieves, Sa Yihei and Mo Si, I have already cut them off." There is also the dog thief in Goshubu, and I have already ordered someone to take it down. Wait a minute, General, I'll give you a satisfactory explanation right away! ”

With that, he got up and returned to the killing field just now. ordered someone to bring over several bloody human heads and give them to Zhou Xiaofeng one by one. "This is my brother Sayihei, who has been blinded by lard. This one is a shamanic slurp. These are the big food 'Manla' and his servants who have mixed into our department, and I have brought them to you. Please take a look at the Shogun. After a pause, he stretched out his hand behind his back again, pointed to the fourteen guys who were tied into zongzi's hands and said, "These are the dog thieves of the Geshu Department, and it was their idea to rob the baggage team." The small ones didn't dare to dispose of them casually, and handed them over to the general for trial. If that doesn't calm the anger in your old man's heart a little, the Macricorns can pay any price. I only ask you to be old, I only ask you to be kind, don't drive us away! ”

With that, he lay on the ground again, crying and crying. Snot and tears flowed down together.

"Alas! If you know now, why bother in the first place. Zhou Xiaofeng shook his head lightly and sighed in a 'serious tone'. What do you mean by the other elders? Are you still willing to stay under the rule of the Anxi Jiedu envoy? ”

"Yes, yes!" Abbasid immediately put away his tears and responded in unison.

"Okay, you give up Stone City and hand it over to the Loulan Department to live in. The oasis outside the city is divided into three parts, and you will keep two-thirds of them, and the other part will be given to the Loulan people! ”

Although this condition is still very harsh, it is much more tolerant than being driven away from the banks of the Jimo River. The Abbasids did not dare to argue any further, and agreed with tears. "Well, yes! General Xie is gracious, General Xie is gracious! ”

raised his head, his eyes swept to Kang Zhongxin, his eyes were full of resentment.

The old fox Kang Zhongxin was stunned by the sight, knowing that Liangzi had already settled, and it was probably too late to withdraw at this moment. I had no choice but to take half a step forward and bow down to thank Zhou Xiaofeng.

"Don't worry. You are the head of the stone castle of the Tang Dynasty, and naturally you have the Anxi Army behind your back. If someone dares to attack your people, I will lead someone to destroy him! Zhou Xiaofeng smiled and comforted him.

"Thank you, General Zhou!" The old fox Kang Zhongxin was finally convinced this time and bowed down again. In terms of strategy, he boasts that he is not inferior to anyone. But without the backing of strong force, any strategy used at this moment is just a joke.

"Prepare to accept Stone Castle City! This is the end of the task of escorting the baggage team, and there is nothing left for your Loulan Department! Zhou Xiaofeng waved his hand and motioned for the old fox Kang Zhongxin to step back. Then, turning his gaze to Abbas again, "You don't have to cry and wipe your tears!" Everything I did today was for your good. Think about it, who gave the order when your ministry attacked me today? If I don't kill those who dream of entering heaven for you, will there be anything else to do with you in the clan? ”

Hear this. The Abbasids fought another cold war. At that time, he was shocked and frightened when he saw his brother's death, and he couldn't do anything right. The people who converted to Allah were all instigated by the black-clothed eaters to attack the Tang generals desperately.

This is simply sending the Ma clan into the abyss! It doesn't matter if you kill a little lieutenant, Ge Shuhan will definitely be able to hold it. And kill a Yunlu general. I'm afraid that even if Ge Shuhan has the heart to help, under the wrath of the Tang Emperor, the Ma Clan will be uprooted!

What's more, there is also a contradiction in the power struggle among the clans. So many people who have converted to Allah are twisted into a rope, and even if they inherit the position of their brother, I am afraid that the foundation will not be secure. At that time, the big cannibal will secretly send another 'manla', not what he wants to do. As a patriarch, he can only act as a deaf ear?

Thinking of this, the resentment towards Zhou Xiaofeng in his heart was greatly reduced. looked at the old fox Kang Zhongxin's gaze, but it became more and more vicious. The other party took over the position of the head of the stone castle, and of course the Ma clan could not openly confront the Tang Dynasty behind it. can secretly use some means, I'm afraid that the emperor is far away, and the envoy of Anxi Jiedu doesn't have so much spare time to worry about!

was ruthless in his heart, and heard Zhou Xiaofeng order in a deep voice: "I will live in the stone castle tonight." Your son, and every elder of the tribe, send a son to my account. Early tomorrow morning, we must go to our army to answer the battle. If I have the chance, I will promote them! ”

"It's ....... Yes, General! Abbasid hesitated and had to agree. This time, he didn't even have a chance to use the trick. The elders will be very careful about the safety of their own children and nephews who are hostages in the future. Any move in the clan to confront the Tang Dynasty will be carefully considered.

"Go, bury the dead!" Waving his hand to drive away Asba, Zhou Xiaofeng turned his attention to the dozen or so envoys of the Goshu tribe and their servants who were tied up like zongzi. He had forced Abbasid to take the initiative to hand over the man, not to obtain any incriminating evidence, but to completely sever the connection between the other party and Goshuhan. Now that the Anxi Army is about to go on an expedition, there is no time to fight a headless lawsuit with Ge Shuhan. Moreover, according to the news from Chang'an, Li Linfu has passed away, and Yang Guozhong is now in charge of the central government. With this person behind his back, the Anxi army can't have more powerful evidence, and it can't move down the head of the army of Ge Shuhan!

As for how to calculate the accounts of the pretending to be sand thieves and robbing and killing the baggage team in the future, that is all something that needs to be carefully considered by Feng Changqing Daduhu. As a capable general, all Zhou Xiaofeng can do now is to teach Ge Shuhan a lesson and let him stop pulling the back legs of the Anxi army. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen thoughts flashed through Zhou Xiaofeng's heart. Frowning, he chose the safest of them.

"Leave this one and kill the others!" Pointing with his hand to the captives, he gave a deep order.

Immediately, a cronie agreed, drew the horizontal knife at his waist, and killed thirteen of the fourteen captives from the Geshu Department, leaving only the one who looked the most luxuriously dressed, and dragged it to Zhou Xiaofeng's feet.

"What's your name?" Zhou Xiaofeng kicked the person with his boot and asked in a deep voice.

"Spare your life, spare your life, my lord. The small one is recruited, recruited! "The messenger of Goshube had prepared a belly of nonsense, trying to fool himself around. Unexpectedly, the other party didn't ask, and began to use a knife to kill. Immediately frightened, even the urine leaked out, crawled in the wet urine mud, and cried loudly.

"I ask you what's your name!" Seeing a large area of water stains rapidly expanding on the sand, Zhou Xiaofeng frowned. Use this kind of person as a henchman, and it's a shame that Ge Shuhan can do it! Switching to the side of the Anxi Army, it's not enough to disgrace most of the people!

"The small, the small one is called Goshuale Loan. It's the younger brother of Ars of Goshu Zhuoban, don't kill me, don't kill me. Small full moves. All moves! The messenger wept in response as he rolled back and forth in the urine.

For this kind of lazy character, Zhou Xiaofeng really felt dirty when he killed him. He ordered someone to cut the rope, and then ordered someone to bring over three camels, took out a few bags of fresh water and dry food and put them on the camel's back, and said with a smile: "Kill you, who will send a letter back to Lao Tzu?" Get out of here, get back to your master! Tell your master, don't think that you did it seamlessly, all the dirty things he did, Anxi Jun remembered! ”

"You, you really don't kill me?" Escaping death, Alep couldn't believe his ears, lay down under the belly of the camel, and asked in a low voice.

"Get out!" Zhou Xiaofeng kicked this person's ass and repeated loudly, "Go back and tell Ge Shuhan." Let him think about it before doing things, where does his wealth come from?! Don't patronize the benefits of the clansmen, if there is no Datang, he is not even a fart! ”
