On the 14th day of October in the first year of Xianheng, it was cloudy, dark clouds were all over the sky, heavy rain was coming, and the dull atmosphere filled the four fields, making people feel a sense of breathlessness, this time was obviously not a good time to go out, but the soldiers and civilians in Khotan were all dispatched, crowded and lined up in a few places outside the city, gongs and drums, horns, incense cases and other things that should be used to welcome the big men were all available, not only that, but even the Khotanese captain Chi Fu Yanxiong personally led all the royal children to wait quietly in front of the queue.

The Khotanese people belong to the Europa race, the body is generally quite tall, and Yu Chi Fu Yan Xiong is one of the Chu Qiao, more than eight feet tall, strong and burly, the face is resolute, the lines on the face are like a knife and axe split, the image of a peerless general, in fact, it is also the case, with the first warrior in the Western Regions, known as the first warrior in the Western Regions, Fu Yan Xiongxiang is famous for his bravery and good at fighting in the Western Regions, and is known as the Khotanese Lion, but at this time standing at the forefront of the queue Fu Yan Xiong did not see the rough spirit of the past, He looked quite nervous and flustered, although his face seemed calm, but the faint flash of worry in his eyes revealed the true emotions in Fu Yanxiong's heart.

Fu Jiaxiong is very annoying, not the general annoyance - Fu Jiaxiong has always been ambitious, has always been to revitalize Khotan as his own responsibility, for this reason, he did not hesitate to carry the Tang Dynasty and Tubo secretly allied, last year is to join forces with Gar Qinling to attack the south of the Tianshan Mountains, the front of the army, invincible everywhere, soon the ** expelled over the Tianshan Mountains, but did not think about the Tibetan jackal leopard heart, not only did not according to the covenant Shule, Loulan, Gaochang three cities handed over to Khotan, but on the grounds of frequent wars, forcibly occupied the Khotanese border town and the end of the Kunlun Pass and the Nachitai Xiongguan located in the Kunlun Pass, After the two dangers of the south and the north are to be lost, the entire Khotanese country has no danger to defend, and it is about to become a racecourse for the Tubo people to come and go wantonly, and this is obviously contrary to Fu Yanxiong's original idea, and what makes Fu Yanxiong even more worried is that the ** go and come back, the smoke of the battle of Dafeichuan has not yet dissipated, and more than 20,000 people in the north road ** Ashina Daozhen have crossed the Tianshan Mountains and attacked Gaochang and other cities, at the same time, more than 30,000 people in Li Jinxing's department went out of Yumen, and they were attacking Loulan together. The danger of overthrowing the country is imminent, and freedom must not be subdued.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Just when Fu Jiaxiong was pondering worriedly, in the middle of a burst of smoke and dust in the south, a group of Tibetan troops were rushing towards the direction of Khotan, and there was a commotion in the crowd waiting quietly.

The number of the Tubo army is not much, there are more than 5,000 people in total, all on horses, the momentum is very fast, and it has rushed to the city in a few moments, and the first member of the general is the head of the ten thousand households Wang Rizan, but seeing that it rushed all the way to the place where Fu Jiaxiong is only two feet, this only restrained the war horse, and the war horse that stood up kicked down the ground heavily, and the dust splashed up and raised Fu Jiaxiong's body, and the original brand new royal robe instantly dimmed like a beggar's outfit.

"Is it General Wangrizan? The little king Fu Yanxiong is here to welcome the general's great drive. ”

Fu Jaxiong was calm by nature, and although he was extremely annoyed by the arrogance of Wang Rizan and other people in his eyes, he did not bring it to his face, but took a few steps forward with a smile and greeted him very politely.

"Well, after work, is the general all the equipment he needs?"

Wang Rizan obviously didn't take Fu Yanxiong as the lord of the country very seriously, and in the face of Fu Yanxiong's greeting, Wang Rizan didn't even bother to get off the horse, didn't say anything polite, sat on the horse's back with a big thorn, and asked in a gloomy manner.

Armaments? That's just a grandiose excuse to ask for bribes, Wang Rizan wants not only military supplies and property, even women have to help him prepare, Fu Yanxiong heard that this person doesn't talk about military affairs, just wants to ask for bribes, his heart is immediately annoyed, but it is not good to attack, he can only answer with a smile: "General rest assured, Xiao Wang is ready to stop, and the general will be satisfied." ”

"Hahaha......, okay, refreshing, this general has inherited the love of the lord of the country."

Seeing that Fu Yanxiong was so knowledgeable, Wang Rizan immediately grinned proudly.

"Dare to ask the general, are you the vanguard you lead? The battle ahead is urgent, I don't know when the follow-up army will arrive? ”

Taking advantage of Wangrizan's good mood, Fu Yanxiong hurriedly asked a key question.

"Hmph, it's just a thief, why do you need a big army, a certain family can defeat it, this is a military priority, the lord of the country doesn't need to ask more."

As soon as he heard Fu Yanxiong ask about the reinforcements, Wang Rizan immediately turned his face, opened his mouth unceremoniously and reprimanded, without leaving Fu Jiaxiong a little face.

"Hehe, what the general said is that Xiao Wang has ordered the military camp in the city to be organized, please lead the general to rest inside, and Xiao Wang should set up a banquet to wash the dust for the general."

As soon as Wang Rizan's words came out, the civil and military ministers who followed behind Fu Yanxiong all changed their faces, and they were all angry, but Fu Yanxiong himself was calm, turned to the side with a smile, made a gesture of please, and said politely.

"Well, okay, the whole army obeys the order and enters the city with General Ben!"

Wang Rizan was obviously very satisfied with Fu Yanxiong's humble posture, laughed, waved his hand, and led his troops to rush towards the city gate not far away along the sandwich road set up by the soldiers and civilians in the city, not caring about the expressions of the kings and ministers of Khotan......

"Father, the dog is rampant, rude, his wolf ambition, the heart of destroying me in Khotan will not die, you should not have formed an alliance with it in the first place, and now you are on the nose and face, how can you be presumptuous, and it ......will be like this for a long time."

In the study of the palace, Fu Yanxiong sat behind several sons with a gloomy face, and his second son, Yu Chi Xuan, Wei Chi Dare and other close relatives of the royal family, were ranked below, and the atmosphere in the study was suffocating, and at the end, the short-tempered Wei Chi Dare took the lead and couldn't hold his breath, strode out, and shouted angrily.

"Presumptuous!"

Fu Yanxiong was so upset that he could hear the lieutenant's hesitant complaints, so he slapped the table angrily and scolded loudly, interrupting Wei Chidare's words stiffly.

"Father's anger, although what the second brother said is contrary to the ear, but it is loyal, Tubo only sent 5,000 people to help this time, it is obvious that he intends to abandon Anxi, if so, I can't wait to make plans early, I am afraid that it will be difficult, I hope my father will think twice." When Wei Chipu saw that his old father had lost his temper, he was afraid that he would take advantage of his younger brother in anger, so he hurriedly snatched it out and persuaded him gently.

"Humph!"

Since seeing that the reinforcements sent by Tubo were only 5,000, Fu Jiaxiong has already understood that his side has become an abandoned son of the Tubo people, and the last trace of luck that he still has has been disillusioned and clean, but now he is on the ship of Tubo, and it is not easy to come down, regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty will settle accounts after the autumn, that is, the revenge of the Tubo army is not something that the small Khotanese can afford, thinking about it, It was hard to decide where to go, so he snorted angrily, and paced back and forth in the study rapidly, the expression on his face changed like a kaleidoscope.

"Father, the ancients: when the interruption continues, when the chaos is suffered, and now I am in Khotan in danger, to help the Tang Tang to win, to help the Tibetan, then the Tang Dynasty will have to pay a great price, it is a good opportunity to choose, do not miss it, and the child looks at what the Tang envoy said, there is no false feeling, if I can get the Kunlun Pass in Yongzhen, I am really fortunate in Khotan, and I am willing to ask my father to see it."

Yu Chi Yu has always been to the Tang Dynasty, when Fu Chi Xiong proposed to form an alliance with Tubo, Yu Chi Yu strongly opposed, but at that time Fu Yan Xiong was bent on creating an immortal foundation in Khotan, and he couldn't listen to Yu Chi Yu's advice at all, which made Yu Chi Yu helpless, and he could only reluctantly accept the facts, but his heart was always thinking of throwing himself into the Tang Dynasty again. This is a sincere statement.

"Father, the eldest brother is right, the opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, the child is willing to lead the troops to level the dog in the city, in order to help the father succeed!" Wei Chi dare is a fierce general on the battlefield, he is not good at the way of politics, and he has no fixed opinion on whether to vote for Tang or Tubo, but he is young and vigorous, and he is really not used to seeing the face of the emperor of the Tubo people, and he has long had the intention to give the Tubo people some color to see.

"Hmm......" When Fu Yanxiong heard the two sons say this, he was moved in his heart, but he really wanted to make this decision, but it was not so easy, and after shaking his head slightly, he still groaned and refused to express his position.

"Father's ......"

Wei Chi dared to be angry, this time he saw that his old father didn't say anything for a long time, his eyes were red, and he wanted to say something again, but at this moment, a eunuch hurriedly broke into the study, and Wei Chi dared to stop there, just looked at Fu Yanxiong angrily.

"Your Majesty, the Tang envoy has come to the palace to ask for a meeting, please make it clear to the king."

The little eunuch who broke into the study saw that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and he was a little flustered, and he didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly said something.

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard that Tang Envoy had arrived, Fu Yanxiong's face immediately twitched involuntarily, and his face changed uncertainly, but his teeth were clenched very tightly, and he just snorted noncommittally from his nostrils.

"Father, since the Tang envoy came, it was inappropriate not to be afraid, and the child thought it was ......"

Yu Chi Yu waited for a while, and saw that Fu Yanxiong still couldn't make up his mind, so he spoke again.

"Please!"

Without waiting for Wei Chi Yu to finish speaking, Fu Yanxiong let out a sigh of relief, raised his hand, and spit out a word concisely.

"Father, for the sake of prudence, it is better for the child to greet him personally."

As soon as he heard that Fu Yanxiong had opened the golden mouth, a trace of joy quickly flashed across Yu Chi Xuan's face, and he hurriedly made a suggestion.

"Okay, let's go."

Fu Yanxiong obviously saw Yu Chi Xuan's intentions, but he didn't say much, just glanced at Yu Chi Xuan deeply, waved his hand, and spoke lightly, although the words were casual, but with a trace of trilling, obviously Fu Yanxiong still had a lot of hesitation and worry in his heart......
