Chapter 47 Trading
Beautiful things are often only precious after they are lost, and they are accustomed to things around them can also make people so nostalgic.
"Your Royal Highness. Do you have a woman or a child? Is there a lot of treasure? ”
Li Huaitang asked indiscriminately, still playing with a luxuriously decorated Damascus scimitar in his hand, which was a saber of Gu Lu, and the name of Gu Lu was engraved on the scabbard.
Umon felt that such a question seemed a bit absurd, and he was suffocated there for a while.
But Gu Lulu understood.
Gu Lulu likes Datang from the bottom of his bones, the wealth of Datang, the broadness of Datang, the beauty of Datang, and the women of Datang, everything is better than the poor northwest grassland. Therefore, the Gu Lu Tang Yan is not bad.
"General, as long as you let me go, I, I will withdraw immediately."
Gu Lulu begged for his life from Li Huaitang in Tang dialect. He knew that the best way to deal with barbarians was to give in.
"You understand what I'm saying, okay, but you know, if you don't answer my questions, I'll be very angry, and the consequences will be serious."
Li Huaitang smiled and pulled out half of the scimitar in his hand, revealing Sen Han's blade.
"Back to the general, I, I have many women and several children, and I have a lot of possessions, but if the general likes treasures, I am willing to give them all to the general."
Gu Lu replied in a panic.
"That's a pity, you will never see your wife and children again, your former woman, children, and treasures will belong to someone else. What a pity, I sympathize with you. ”
Li Huaitang continued to laugh.
"Come on, drag it down, and bury it alive."
Li Huaitang ignored the pale face and gave orders a little lazily.
The pale face of the bone was suddenly frightened even more pale, and the trembling legs finally softened, and he knelt down directly towards Li Huaitang: "Spare your life, the general spare your life!" I agreed to the general's conditions, and I would never bargain. ”
"Really? My soldiers died so many people, you say, what to do. ”
Li Huaitang suddenly roared loudly.
Gu Lulu seemed to see a wave of anger erupting from Li Huaitang's eyes, wanting to burn himself to ashes.
"This, this, this is none of my business, I blame that Mohedagan, and Luck, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't have been sent here."
The bone's mind was spinning fast. Whether you can survive depends on the speed of your brain.
Li Huaitang saw that Gu Lulu was honest, so he eased his tone and said, "Give you a chance to convince me, otherwise you go outside and talk to those soldiers." ”
Gu Lulu nodded desperately. It is good that he doesn't have to be beheaded, so Gu Lulu poured all he knew like beans into a bamboo tube, and poured out 1510.
Li Huaitang patiently listened to Gu Lulu's explanation, and wondered in his heart whether the Shi Guo caravan in Gu Lulu's mouth was related to Mo Suo, and since this period of time, the Shi Guo caravan that he released was just a Mo Sao family. What kind of Wo Sect, elders, and heavenly artifacts, Li Huaitang didn't care, but it was the ambition of the Tuqi Shi people that aroused Li Huaitang's vigilance.
"Your Royal Highness, no matter what you say, my dead soldiers cannot be resurrected. I had to lend your head to give them an explanation. ”
Li Huaitang felt that Gu Lulu seemed to be honest, but he was actually very cunning. By saying this, he himself not only absolved all responsibility, but also became a victim as a matter of course.
"General, go around me. Soldier, soldier, I compensate you soldier! ”
The bones are in a hurry, and they don't choose words.
"Joke, can you bring the dead back to life?"
Li Huaitang glared at Gu Lu viciously.
"No, I can pay for it." Something came to mind. "General, are you from the Tang Dynasty?"
"You don't have to know. Save some time praying. ”
Li Huaitang was impatient and motioned to the soldiers next to him to do it.
Gu Lulu broke away from the hands of the two soldiers who grabbed him, and shouted desperately: "No, general, listen to me, I can compensate you for five hundred Tang Zhuangding." ”
When Li Huaitang heard this, his brows furrowed. Then he stopped the two soldiers who were fighting with Gu Lulu, and said slowly: "You say, what's the matter?" ”
It turned out that the Turgish people also knew that they were not good at attacking fortifications, and for this war, they specially formed a cannon fodder army composed of slaves, which was specially responsible for attacking the city in order to consume the city defense force of the big cannibals.
Under the command of Gu Lulu, there were originally more than 800 Tang slaves, of which more than 200 died under the city of Boxide, and the remaining more than 500 people were originally intended to be consumed in Samarkand, however, Que Yi Nanru thought that there were too many Lits in the coalition army, so he suggested that the army of the Lits should go first. As a result, these more than 500 Tangnu also survived.
There was no way to save Li Huaitang's dead soldiers, but under the threat of death, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of this method. As he guessed, Li Huaitang's group had something to do with Datang, and perhaps only these more than 500 Tang slaves could save their heads.
Some of those Tang slaves were strong men from Broken Leaf City, and some were captured from the four towns of Anxi last year. Originally, there were many Tang slaves in the Chu River Valley, but in recent years, the greedy tribal leaders have sold the Tang slaves to a group of Lite merchants who are said to have come from Samarkand, and they are all strong laborers. Therefore, in the end, Gu Lulu only found more than 800 Tang slaves, and if he continued to loot, I am afraid that Broken Leaf City would change.
Li Huaitang endured his anger and listened to Gu Lulu's compensation method. At this moment, if Kuroko is present, he must break the bones to pieces.
"You go and tell the people outside the city and ask them to bring someone to trade. I'll let you go after I've received your soldiers' compensation. Li Huaitang said coldly.
Gu Lulu's face changed slightly, and he shook his head. Said: "The general doesn't know, the one outside the city is Mohe Dagan, and this person has a holiday with me." If I let him know, my life will be suspended. The general could not be compensated either. ”
"I don't care about this, the day after tomorrow, at this time the day after tomorrow, if I can't see your sincerity, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After speaking, Li Huaitang turned around and wanted to leave.
"General, allow me to meet with my subordinates, and I will make proper arrangements."
Gu Lulu really didn't dare to let Mohe Dagan know that as the concubine son of Sulu Khan, his status was not high. It was only after years of his own efforts that he had a thousand directly subordinate cavalry. If others know that he is so incompetent and has become a prisoner of the Shi Guoren, will there still be a place for him in the clan in the future?
There is one more thing, except for the secret that no one knows about it except for Que Yinanru, who supports him. Last year, he met a Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty, who mysteriously showed him his appearance for a long time, and finally told him very surprised that he had the appearance of a king. He will become a great weapon one day, and he will shock the grassland. In the end, he also divined him and gave him a name, called: Spitfire Fairy.
And Gu Lulu leaked this matter to Que Yi Nanru after drinking.
With his current situation, he can only ask Que Yi for help. With Que Yi's ability, he should be able to cover up the past for himself. Although he knew that Que Yi Nanru was only using him to deal with Mohe Dagan, but except for Que Yi Nanru, he really had no one to trust.
After meeting the two cronies, Gu Lulu told them his intentions in detail, and after some advice, he took off a large earring and handed it to them as a token.
Bone Lu watched as his cronies were ordered to leave, anxiously waiting for the arrangement of fate.
North of the city of Qishi, in the camp of the Turgish. Mohe Dagan watched thoughtfully, and the prince's first warrior, Alifu, was waiting for Mohe Dagan to make a decision with anxious and expectant eyes.
I can't clean up the aftermath myself, do I still care about that incompetent backbone? I can't help him even if I want to. Unexpectedly, a thousand and hundreds of elite warriors are gone, and their own reputation has been ruined in the hands of Shi Guoren, and the thief is really joking.
yes, what does that have to do with me? It's all the fault of Gu Lulu, who is arrogant and reckless, and disobeys military orders, and I suffered a loss in order to save him. Yes, that's all. Well, his men, as compensation for me saving him. Although there are only about 500 people left, it is better than nothing.
"His Royal Highness the prince was greedy for merit and made a big mistake, so he fell for the tricks of the Shi Guoren, and was besieged by tens of thousands of Shi Guo's troops and suffered heavy losses. In order to save His Royal Highness the prince, Mohe Dagan fought a fierce battle with the people of the Shi country, but the people of the country of Shi were outnumbered, and the prince could not be saved, for the glory of my cavalry Shi people, I ordered the immediate withdrawal of the army, and turned to Sulu Khan for help. ”
Mo Heda looked at Ah Li Servant fiercely and said, as long as Ah Li Servant dared to have a different intention, he could let the Blood Bear Knight kill him on the spot with one look.
At this point, can Ah Lifu still not understand. Although he is loyal to the prince, he is even more loyal to his own life, Ah Lifu I am just a small person, and I am also stupid, I can only obey my orders, and I can't help His Royal Highness the prince to blame me in the future.
Without any shame, Ah Lifu pretended to be confused as a matter of course and obeyed Mohe Dagan's orders.
"Victory, victory! The Turgish have fled! ”
Knowing that the Turgish people had retreated, all the people in Qishi City couldn't help but vent their joy in their hearts, especially the defenders who had fought bloodily.
Umeng was even more pleased.
Hudu returned safely, and joined the battle at a critical moment, taking the prince of Turgish by surprise and saving the city before the city was broken.
Last night, the Hudu and the Black Pagoda had been hidden near the camp of Gululu, where the terrain was more complicated, with more small streams, lush water and grass, and a few small groves.
Kuroko's raid didn't create a chance for Goto, so Goto decided to hold back and wait until dawn before taking action.
After daybreak, the Turgish people could not wait to march towards the city of Qishi, leaving only an empty camp. So, the guards secretly followed, looking for an opportunity to be a yellow finch. happened to meet the sunspot who came out to inquire about the news, so as soon as they put it together, they decided to make a fight at the last moment of the city defense.
Mohedagan's division of troops completed the Bright Cavalry, and Prince Gululu became a target for them from then on.
greedy and sent Gu Lulu to Li Huaitang's prison. It was he who ordered the cavalry under the city to dismount and strengthen the siege force, thus creating a good opportunity for them to raid the capital.
Gu Lu, who was far away from the protective force, became a prisoner of the protector without any suspense. The Turquoise soldiers who were climbing the ladder to the city were leaderless, and under the onslaught of the light cavalry, they were powerless to fight back, and suffered heavy casualties, and the offensive was broken down.
In this battle, a lot of gains were made, more than 400 war horses were captured, and each war horse also had a horn bow and more than a dozen feather arrows, which were all military aid from the Tang Dynasty, and they were durable.
If it weren't for Mohedagan's timely arrival when he heard the news, the Tuqi Shi people who fled for their lives would have been wiped out, and all the war horses would have been taken into account.
Under the big victory, everyone rejoiced, but Li Huaitang was worried. It was true that it was victorious, but it also paid a heavy price, more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded in the bloody battle for half a day, of which more than 300 were soldiers of the Ministry of Light, plus yesterday's casualties, the Ministry of Light lost a total of more than 1,000 people.
There was also a large number of wounded, which filled the palace to the brim, and there was a great shortage of medicine. Listening to the wailing of the wounded soldiers, Li Huaitang was at a loss.
