Chapter 374: Qianghu Came 200,000

In the General's Mansion, charcoal burned the house warm, and a group of eye-catching beauties sat together, but no one smiled or smiled, and the atmosphere was as cold as outside the mansion.

The Qianghu coalition army arrived one after another, and set up a large camp in the north of the city, and they released countless arrows with letters into the city overnight, the content of which made the beauties in the general's mansion look disgraced.

The strong beards are all in their mouths, they only come for dignity, their enemy is only Li Huaitang, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan City, the shameless Li Huaitang not only robbed the Caliph Princess, but also robbed the Princess Shi and Princess Broken Leaves, they are here to save people, as long as Li Huaitang releases people and then compensates for the losses, they agree to withdraw their troops, and will not impose the disaster of war on the innocent soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan City.

Obviously, this is Chiguoguo's discord, which makes Li Huaitang isolate himself from the soldiers and civilians in Ningyuan City, and provoke the war-weariness of the defenders. was forced to release people, which can only prove that Li Huaitang is incompetent, and if he does not let go, it is Li Huaitang who chose war, and let the soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan City risk their lives to fight for his "lust" and "desire". Whatever the outcome, it can have a negative impact on morale.

The beauties who got the news were worried, and they couldn't get any results from the discussion, and they just hoped that Li Huaitang would come back quickly to solve their problems.

"Smack!" The door was suddenly pushed open, and Sava's sturdy figure entered with a cold wind.

"Great victory! Great victory! The Admiral has returned victorious! ”

"Ahh The beauties stood in surprise. Su Xiaoniang was the most unreserved, and she was the first to rush out of the 'door', so anxious that her 'waiter' and 'girl' hurriedly grabbed her coat and chased after her. With the leader, the rest of the beauties were not far behind, and even Ye Ji, who was 'straight' with a big belly, went out with her clothes on.

Ning Yuan, who returned triumphantly, entered the city from the south 'gate' and marched on Chang'an Avenue in a mighty way. Shi Yiwang's medical team first picked up the dead and wounded soldiers, and the captured war horses and other materials were 'handed over' to Xiao Lizi and his party, and the families of the soldiers who heard the news greeted the heroes happily. At this moment, everyone is equal, and Li Huaitang is the same, with a solid embrace to rotate the beauties who ran out to greet him.

"Brother Niu, if you don't come back, I'm afraid she will have to go out of the city to find you." When it was Shui Rou'er's turn to be embraced into Li Huaitang's arms, she smiled and expressed Pei Xiaoniang's worries.

"Looking for me?" Li Huaitang looked at Pei Xiaoniang suspiciously.

Pei Xiaoniang silently handed a piece of paper to Li Huaitang's eyes, which was the masterpiece of the Tuqi Shiren.

"Idiotic words!" Li Huaitang smiled and tore the piece of paper to shreds. "What are you doing with this, huh? Do you have that too? ”

Su Xiaoniang and Liu Meiren hesitantly handed over the pieces of paper in their hands, from the big cannibal and the Shiguo people respectively.

"Li Lang, we know your affection. However, we were worried that it would affect the morale of the city. Su Xiaoniang said in the future.

Li Huaitang looked around for a week, and the scene of the soldiers reuniting with their relatives after the war was very touching. He smiled and said, "Look, the wives of these soldiers have not robbed the wealth in the past, if one day someone comes to ask them to go back, will they agree?" ”

"So, you don't have to worry, these soldiers, even more than half of the city's inhabitants are beneficiaries, and they won't allow this precedent to happen in the first place. The Hu people outside the city are wrong, no one will fall for them! ”

Ye Ji echoed: "That is, when will our husband spit out what he eats in his mouth?" ”

"Haha, whoever knows me, Madame! Once in my Shattered Leaf City, it's hard to be asked to go back. Li Huaitang smiled shamelessly.

Pei Xiaoniang suddenly realized, touched Li Huaitang lightly, and said angrily: "Did Li Lang have the idea of taking me captive to Ningyuan City when he made a bet with me?" ”

"Bet!?" Liu Meiren sensitively covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Does he also want you to call him husband three times?" ”

"Husband? No, Li Lang just let me live in Ningyuan City for a year" Pei Xiaoniang's face was slightly red, and she hurriedly confessed.

"Sister Liu and Li Lang had a gambling contract?" Su Xiaoniang heard the meaning and smiled evilly.

"Well, no, no, no!" Liu Meiren's head shook like a 'wave' drum.

"Didn't say no, Li Lang told me, you called him three times after you lost, didn't you? I just said how could my sister wronged herself to marry Li Lang, I see! Su Xiaoniang pursed her lips and snickered.

"Huh?" Liu Shangyue looked at Li Huaitang with a flushed face, but saw an innocent look on his face and a signature gesture of shrugging his shoulders and spreading his hands.

"I didn't say anything, you said it yourself."

"Huh?" Liu Shangyue was at a loss and hid behind Li Huaitang.

Li Huaitang smiled and hugged Liu Shangyue and said, "Go home, count the belongings in the house, I want to reward the soldiers!" ”

The results of this battle were brilliant, but there were not many captures, and Li Huaitang usually accumulated his wealth in order to disperse at this time.

"Huh? Li Lang wants to use his wealth as a reward? "I have been running 'flower' Rong Yunshang for a long time, and Liu Meiren's body is more or less stained with the smell of a businessman.

Li Huaitang laughed: "I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone." The cellar was emptied, and the husband borrowed more for the next year. ”

The beauties are proud, with invisible stars in their eyes, and Airo is heroic and heroic, and treats money like dung, and can be exported at will, which is breathtaking.

"Li Lang should keep half of it, there are still many big battles to fight next!" Su Xiaoniang entered the butler's corner.

"Madame is right! Well, I'm going to go up to the city and see how many heads they've brought, so don't run me out of the bank. ”

What is the enemy like a 'chicken' tile dog, this is! The beauties pursed their lips and looked at their lovers adoringly, and a sense of happiness arose in their hearts.

On the upper floor of the east wall of Ningyuan City, Pei Xiaoniang stood beside Li Huaitang and looked out at the wind, and was invited by the three envoys from Datang who were under his house arrest.

"Wow!" Pei Xiaoniang stood on the majestic Ningyuan City for the first time, and her heart was quite 'excited', but the endless Qianghu military camp made her tremble.

"Miserable! There are so many of them! ”

Li Huaitang said softly in Pei Xiaoniang's ear: "Are you worried that your husband's money is not enough?" Rest assured, Ruoxi's wedding will never be shabby! ”

"Li Lang is necrotic, make fun of it! I, I'm worried about Li Lang. Pei Xiaoniang's face was flushed, and she denied it in a low voice.

"Ahem." Qi Jishan, who was a few steps away, cleared his throat and interrupted the flirting of the little lovers. "According to Li Langzi, how many Hu people are there in front of you?"

Li Huaitang smiled faintly and said, "To say the least, there are 100,000." ”

"So much?" Qi Jishan frowned, you must know that the strength of the entire Anxi is only 30,000 people, if the Hu people unite to use troops against Anxi, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Oh, I forgot," Li Huaitang continued to attack Qi Jishan, "there are still hundreds of thousands in the direction of Xijian City in the west. ”

"Huh?" The three Tang envoys were taken aback, they didn't expect the situation to be so bad, once Ningyuan City was lost, the next target of the Hu people was probably the four towns of Anxi.

Compared with the expressions of the three Tang envoys, Li Huaitang looked relaxed, as if he didn't care about the powerful Hu people at all. Of course, if they knew that Li Huaitang had just won a big victory, causing the Turgish coalition army to lose nearly 50,000 horses, they would be even more surprised, and they would also feel that Li Huaitang had the capital to be proud of Qianghu.

Regarding Li Huaitang's attitude, Huangfu Weiming was quite curious, and asked tentatively: "Hu is powerful, isn't General Li worried at all?" General Li has a good plan to break the enemy? ”

The answer was that it was incompatible: "Brother Huangfu knows how many people are needed to open a mine?" ”

Ignoring the three Tang envoys who were covered by clouds and mist, Li Huaitang continued to talk to himself: "The coal mine is less than 50,000 people, the copper and gold mine is 30,000, and maybe there is an iron mine ......."

Others don't understand, but Pei Xiaoniang's heart is like a mirror, there is a coal mine in the Fergana Mountain Range, and it was on that coal mine that Li Huaitang wrote a poem for her, and then she tied a heart to him. Seeing Li Huaitang pinching his fingers seriously and calculating, she couldn't help but smile, in her Li Lang's eyes, the menacing Hu people had become his slaves, slaves who opened mines for him.

The coal reserves found in the Fergana Mountains are staggering, the coal mines are shallow and the surface is full of "black gold" below the first layer of soil, and the area is extremely broad. The discovery of the coal mine gave Li Huaitang a hint that there must be other minerals in the continuous mountain range, such as the iron ore that Ningyuan City lacked the most, and in the Iron Age, steel production was the most direct manifestation of strength. No matter how much minerals there are, without labor it is all in vain. And the best and cheapest labor is the strong slave, and the Qianghu coalition army has naturally become the source of the strong slave in Li Huaitang's eyes.

"General, there's movement!" The Six Monkeys faithfully fulfilled his duties as the chief soldier, and he also gave up the opportunity to return home to his loved ones.

Several horsemen galloped from the direction of the Hu people's tents, one of them holding a white flag.

"Li Langzi, they want to negotiate!" Qi Jishan reminded Li Huaitang in a panic, for fear that the arrogant Li Huaitang would not understand the etiquette and would directly ride and 'shoot' to kill.

"Put the basket down and pull the white flag up." There were a total of three people who came to ride, and among them, Li Huaitang, the person who raised the white flag, recognized it as the Infernal Jiamu that he arranged by Mohe Dagan's side.

Of course, they were not naïve enough to rely on the envoys to surrender without a fight, so that Jiamu came here to find out the reality of the defenders, and most importantly, they wanted to know what the morale of the defenders was.

Jiamu carefully stood in front of Li Huaitang, in the past two years, he spared no effort to make suggestions for Mohedagan, with his efforts, the strength of Moheda's cadres not only restored its former majesty, but also surpassed it, for which he was deeply reused by Mohedagan, his authority is increasing day by day, and he once thought that he was going to get out of the clutches of Li Huaitang, this joint attack of the strong Hu is his best chance to be alone, he thought that Li Huaitang's ability is greater, It is also impossible to survive the joint strangulation of several strong Hu. When the magnificent Ningyuan City entered his field of vision, his good mood disappeared without a trace in an instant. He took the initiative to ask to enter the city, in addition to curiosity, it was more related to his vital interests, after all, Li Huaitang was still holding his handle.

"In Xia Jiamu, he is the envoy of Sulu Khan, and he has seen General Ning Yuan."

The language used by Jiamu was Lit, because he had to be cautious when he saw Li Huaitang surrounded by three strangers wearing Tang official uniforms.

Li Huaitang said: "Oh? Mohedagan is also here? Didn't the Qarluqs trouble him again? ”

Kamu smiled awkwardly and complimented: "The general inadvertently bought the seeds of hatred between the Qarluqs and Mohedagan, and let them fight for most of the year, but in the end, it was Mohedagan who took advantage and annexed many Qarluq tribes. In the autumn, Mohedagan reconciled with them and married them. This time, the Qarluqs also sent 5,000 men. ”

"Haha, interesting! How many of you came? ”

"This?" Jia Mu hesitated to look at the three officials who were obviously Tang Dynasty.

Li Huaitang smiled: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. They don't understand. ”

"This time, Sulu Khan borrowed 5,000 troops from the Qarlu and Hui tribes, plus the Mohe Dagan and Dumo branches, a total of 50,000 people. There are 30,000 people in the Great Cannibal and Tubo people each, but it is said that because of the lack of supply of grain and grass, the Great Cannibals still have tens of thousands of troops gathered in the direction of the Gulu country and rushed at any time, plus the soldiers of the Zhaowu countries such as the Shi country, the total strength is more than 200,000. ”

The Great Cannibals came from Khorasan in terms of distance and distance, and as long as there was enough food and grass, they could kill them at any time. However, the fact that the Tibetan people sent tens of thousands of troops from thousands of mountains and rivers seems a bit incredible.

Jiamu was very clever and continued to refine the military situation: "At that time, there were only 10,000 real Tibetans, and the rest were servant troops. ”

Li Huaitang laughed, if it was really as Jiamu said, it would be strange that such a patchwork army could capture Ningyuan City, and the intrigue between them would be enough for them to worry for a while. This information of Jiamu Tou's 'Lu' is very important, of course, the words of the family are not enough to believe, and Li Huaitang has already saved the heart of using wolf teeth to catch and scratch his tongue to confirm the information.

The hearty laughter caused the rest of the people to be baffled.

"Li Langzi, what are you laughing at? What did he say? Qi Jishan could understand the Turkic language, and although many words in the Lite language were similar in pronunciation to the Turkic language, such as what a big food, Tubo, and the like, he did not know the meaning of the whole sentence. He was angry, and he could see that Turgish had come to warn him, and the use of a third-party language was a defensive act by Chi Guoguo.

Li Huaitang said with a smile: "He is a Lite and speaks Lite language. He said that the Great Cannibal reached an alliance agreement with the Tibetans and Sulu Khan and the conditions of 'exchange', raising 200,000 troops, first taking Ningyuan City, and then taking the four towns of Anxi. ”

"What? Two hundred thousand?! Also, there is a 'trade'? The three Tang envoys spoke in unison, obviously nervous and concerned.

"Da Shi occupies the Kang Shi'an countries in the river, the Tucai Shi occupies Ningyuan, the Tubo people occupy the five senses, and then the three families attack the Tang Dynasty and divide the four towns of Anxi!"

Li Huaitang left Wu Xin and others with deep meaning, that is, to plant the seeds in their hearts that the Hu people would be unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty. Bringing the three of them to the castle tower was just to let them have a sensory understanding first, but they didn't expect the opportunity to come suddenly. Li Huaitang then pushed the boat down the river and shamelessly nonsense, when the truth is false, the false is also true, there is nothing to do, there is a false in the true, there is a truth in the false, the true is false, how can the three Tang envoys distinguish between the true?

"You, you nonsense! How could he tell you this? When Wu Xin said this, even he felt that he was not confident, although he was a little suspicious.

"There are some things I don't need to tell you. Just as I told you that Sulu Khan was in collusion with the Great Cannibals, you are as skeptical as you are now, but it turns out that I am right. ”

"But what is at stake, how do you make us gain your trust?"

Li Huaitang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands again, and said, "As for whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." ”

Jiamu didn't understand Tang Yan, Qi Jishan didn't understand Lite language, although Qi Jishan used Turkic language to ask Jiamu, but Jiamu pretended to be dead and deliberately couldn't understand, how could he dare to talk to others in front of Li Huaitang.

Seeing that the effect had been produced and the goal had been achieved, Li Huaitang accepted it when he saw that it was good, and angrily scolded Jiamu to leave the city, and then continued to put the three Tang envoys under house arrest in the name of protection.

"Li Lang is so powerful, he can also speak Lite!" Pei Xiaoniang, who had been silent, flashed out from behind Li Huaitang, with a pretty 'exquisite' face with a smile of surprise and adoration.

Li Huaitang smiled: "Ruoxi is more powerful, and he knows Tang Yan." ”

"Huh? Is this also a stake? Pei Xiaoniang looked at Li Huaitang puzzled.

"Of course, in this world, the most cultural, the most civilized, and the most beautiful language has no branch except Tang Yan. I am proud to be able to speak Tang Yan, proud to be able to speak Tang Yan, well, I have a dream, I want to make Tang Yan popular all over the world, so that people from different countries and different nationalities have the same sense of pride as me, and I am proud to be able to speak Tang Yan! ”

"Great!" Pei Xiaoniang clapped her hands and praised: "In this case, when Ruoxi goes to buy sundries from Hu Shang, you don't have to worry that they can't understand Tang Yan, and you won't be afraid that they will cheat me out of my money." But ......"

"But what?" Li Huaitang gently held Pei Xiaoniang's little hand, and enjoyed the lovely scenery in front of him, the smile of the beauty, and even his every cheek was no less than the most beautiful scenery in the world.

Pei Xiaoniang pinched her fingers seriously and calculated: "A master teaches twenty people, and ten thousand masters teach 200,000 people, if you want all the Hu people in the world to learn Tang Yan, how many masters does Li Lang have to send?" How much does it cost to hire these masters? They don't necessarily want to go to the Hu people's place! ”

Li Huaitang was so amused that he almost didn't laugh and fell to the ground, took Pei Xiaoniang into his arms and kissed him fiercely.

"Huh? Shame on you! Pei Xiaoniang exclaimed, covering her hot cheeks and complaining.

Send a master? ! Wealth and business opportunities will naturally make Hu people flock to Tang Yan, and those who do not know Tang Yan will naturally be marginalized by Tang culture. Of course, all of this has to be built on strong productivity and strong military power.

The task of accomplishing this grand goal for the Tang Empire naturally fell on Li Huaitang, who wanted to use Ningyuan City as a base to radiate his ambitions to all corners of the world through the revival of the Silk Road.
