Guo Yuanzhen was both moved and guilty.

He has always been very clear about these upright and loyal Tang soldiers under his command.

Whether it's gains or losses, grievances, or grievances.

Nothing is more important than "fighting".

Seeing these brothers, they rushed to the city pass without hesitation, and fought with the Turks in a bloody battle.

Guo Yuanzhen, who has been in the army for 30 years and has shed a single tear without shedding a single tear.

Behind closed doors, Haotao cried.

"Brothers, you are the most heroic soldiers in Datang! You are the most selfless heroes in the world! ”

"It's me Guo Yuanzhen who has burdened you!"

"If there is an afterlife, let Guo Yuanzhen be your pigs, dogs, cows and sheep to repay you!"

……

The assault team set off with a total of 121 people, and Li Baishi, who arrived later, a total of 120.

By now, there are still eighty left.

Li Xingzhou felt very sad in his heart, compared to Wang Yuan, these people were rare.

The sacrifice of the soldiers brought out by himself made him even more worried and sad.

It's a feeling that can't be described concretely, it's like ...... Loss of a loved one.

One is in Shanzhou City, the sacrifice of Shi Dingwu, Wang Yuanji, Gao Xiang and others.

Of course, the hearts of those soldiers were even more uncomfortable.

went to Daoshan Mountain and went down to the sea of fire to experience this life and death, after all, someone took the first step.

When Li Xingzhou and Yan Shun received the soldiers who had withdrawn one after another, they first cheered loudly.

Then there was undisguised loud crying, crying like a child.

Li Xingzhou didn't stop them, let them cry uncontrollably, and the harder they cried, the better.

Whether a man matures or not is not about his age, but about what he has been through.

Whether a man is a real man or not depends not on what he has, but on what he has lost!

War can never avoid death.

Soldiers are destined to face many life and death.

It's like a girl has to go through the first labor pains to become a woman.

A soldier must also become a man after experiencing the tragic pain of "losing a dear comrade-in-arms"!

Become a man who stands tall in the sky, a real iron soldier!

After crying bitterly, the eyes of the soldiers of the assault team became more resolute, and their fighting spirit became more vigorous.

Because Li Xingzhou said to them, from now on, you are not only living for yourself, not just fighting for yourself.

And for the sake of those, the body was given to the enemy, but the soul was left to you...... Robes!

Compared to the time when I went, it was as fast as the wind and as fast as electricity.

Li Xing's return journey from the pedestrians on Monday was a little difficult.

Nearly 2,000 miles back and forth, the iron man and iron horse were also sleepy and tired, and there were more prisoners, and there were many wounded.

What is a robe?

Enmity with the Son!

Fight with the Son!

Live together, die together!

……

Finally, the assault team walked into the great desert, near the military restricted area of the Great Wall.

The 100,000 Turkic army stormed Shuozhou, and Li Xingzhou and the others naturally noticed such a big movement.

This incident did not surprise Li Xingzhou.

But the Turks actually sent so many troops.

It still made him feel a little shocked.

Just imagine, if it weren't for the Turks pouring out.

Instead, he left some more people to guard the tooth tent, how could he succeed?

It seems unlikely that he will go back to Shuozhou directly.

Li Xingzhou decided to take these people to hide for a while and wait and see what happens

。 Counting the time, the Turks should already know about the attack on the Turkic king's tent.

Unless they really gave up the grassland and were determined to fight in the Central Plains to dominate the world.

Otherwise, the troops will definitely be withdrawn!

.

......

At the foot of the Great Wall, there is a deserted mountain range, but it is easy to hide.

Li Xingzhou and the others found a col to hide and wait for an opportunity to act.

Two thousand miles round-trip, everyone was already tired.

I thought I would be relieved to return safely.

Return to the familiar Great Wall Pass to enjoy the taste of home and welcome the praise of heroes.

Unexpectedly, when I came back, I saw the war raging in Shuozhou.

Li Xingzhou and others were unable to learn the detailed battle situation in Shuozhou.

But judging by the size of the Turkic army, it is indeed a bit scary.

The grassland is vast and full of tribes.

Since the records of the civilization of the Central Plains, the wars between nomads and agricultural peoples have never stopped.

During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Zetian sent Li Jing to lead an army of 100,000 to pacify the Turks and conquer the grasslands in one fell swoop.

This is definitely a glorious page in the history of the Central Plains.

Out of the overall needs of stabilizing the pattern and harmonizing the nation, Taizong Zetian Emperor Li Shimin said after pacifying the grassland.

"Since ancient times, they have all been noble and cheap, and I love them as one."

Since then, Datang has implemented the "fetter politics" of tribal autonomy.

The Tang Dynasty nominally ruled the grasslands for fifty years.

In fact, it is still the tribal chieftains of the Turks who govern their people.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has cultivated martial arts, and the grassland has also followed to recuperate.

In the past, they only knew how to bend the bow and shoot arrows, and they learned a lot of advanced things from the Central Plains, whether it was political system, military technology, education, literature and history, medicine, farming, smelting, and forging, which were closely related to military affairs.

Even the music, food, clothing, and marriage of many details of life, the Turks learned a lot from the Central Plains.

But deep down in the hearts of the Turks, they have never regarded Datang as an elder and friend, but an eternal enemy.

They have always used the historical allusions of the Central Plains to motivate themselves.

I have never forgotten the shame of destroying the country 50 years ago.

There's an old saying that's blatant and heart-wrenching.

But the best way to describe the Turkic people in front of you is ...... If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

At the beginning, after Taizong Zetian Emperor Li Shimin pacified the Turks, he had no choice but to implement the politics of restraint and let the steppe people govern themselves.

Fifty years later, that expedient measure finally revealed its greatest drawback.

The Turks have never really integrated into the Chinese nation, they have always wanted independence and rebellion!

It took the Turks fifty years to recuperate and go undercover, and today, it has finally exploded.

Thinking of this, Li Xingzhou secretly shook his head.

The Turks use the "wolf" as a totem, but some behaviors are committed by the "white-eyed wolf".

"That person, come here!"

The captured Turkic woman shouted loudly.

"Shut up, impudent bearded girl! You are now a prisoner of our ranks, not in your Turkic tribe! ”

Li Baishi, who was in charge of supervising her on the side, shouted very unhappily.

"Even if there is something, I can only respectfully ask Hou Hou to borrow a step to speak!"

The sergeants were all amused when they heard it, Li Baishi's loyalty and maintenance of Li Xingzhou was absolutely ubiquitous.

If anyone dared to offend Li Xingzhou, she would never tolerate even the slightest bit.

"Hu Nu? Hum! ”

The female captive sneered.

Rolled his eyes twice.

"I don't bother to pay attention to you! ...... Tell him to come and talk to me! ”

"Not really!"

The corners of Li Baishi's mouth curled, his eyes widened, and he grimaced at her.

"What can you do to me?"

"The villain has a will!"

The female captives were angry, but there was really nothing they could do.

"I still am!"

Li Baishi was even more proud.

"The tents of tens of millions of you have been smashed into a mess by more than 100 of us, and you have been captured alive in the midst of thousands of armies, and you can come and go freely for thousands of miles on your territory."

"What else do you Turkic rebels have to put on a stinky shelf, and you are embarrassed to claim that you are the descendants of the invincible wolf god?"

"Besides, you can't beat me, you can't scold me, and your breasts are not as big as mine, so why don't you obediently shut up in front of this general?"

The sergeants all laughed and praised together.

"Deputy Lieutenant Li, majestic!"

Along the way, Li Baishi and the female prisoner's-for-tat stumbling has become a big fun for them.

"So many people bullied me as a tied captive, what is there to be so prestigious!"

The female captive shouted loudly.

"Ugly monster, if you have the ability, you let me go, I will fight alone with you until death!"

"Otherwise, you will let me go back to the tent, and watch me lead the troops to attack you, and take you all prisoners, so that you can lose convincingly"

"Little she-wolf, it's really hard-mouthed!"

Li Baishi sneered.

"If it weren't for the Hou of Shan, I would have really wanted to untie you and beat you up...... I'm going to tear your mouth apart first! ”

Li Xingzhou heard movement a little far away and walked over to stop Li Baishi and the sergeants from laughing.

Ask the captive.

"What are you looking for me?"

The female captive's expression was very cold and stubborn.

"I'm going to talk to you alone!"

Li Xingzhou smiled.

"Just say it here. There has never been any estrangement between me and these brothers. ”

"I won't have any personal consultations with you, a captive."

"I'm going to make a deal with you!"

The female captive said.

"What deal?"

"You let the four of us go back, and I promise that the Turkic army will evacuate from Shuozhou and negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty!"

The female captive said.

"This is a good deal, isn't it?"

"Sounds good."

Li Xingzhou said with a smile.

"But we Central Plains people pay attention to a 'duty' and dare not easily transgress."

"It's better to wait until I bring you back to Shuozhou, so that you can meet our marching commander."

"Or send to Luoyang to see our Emperor Zetian and the prime ministers, you can talk about this topic again!"

"You! ……”

The female captives were furious.

You coward! ”

Li Baishi and the sergeants all burst out laughing.

"A coward can lead a hundred people to attack the Turkic king's tent?"

"That's just the courage of a horseman!"

The female captives were even more annoyed.

Li Xingzhou said with a smile.

"Okay, I've come for more than a thousand miles, and I'm about to enter the Great Wall, so don't be impatient."

“……”

The female captive bit her lip and was helplessly silent for a moment, then said.

"If you let us go back, we're going to have a lot less dead!"

"There should be a lot of your brothers and sisters and good friends in Shuozhou City, right?"

"If our people knew that you had captured us, they would definitely capture thousands of Han Chinese in exchange!"

"Ho-ho!" Li Xingzhou smiled, "The premise is that they can break into Shuozhou, right?" ”

"Absolutely!"

The female prisoner is categorical.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that our khan and the mastermind are in the same position, and the army is incomparably strong."

"Now we have united eighteen major tribes such as Murowei, Servant Bone and Tiele, and we already have 150,000 iron horsemen under our command!"

"The grassland people are all dissatisfied with the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and this number will definitely increase! It won't be long before we have a million heroes! ”

"If we really want to start a full-scale war, we have no city and no home, we can come and go freely on the grassland, and it is you Central Plains people who will really suffer the most damage!"

"It seems that you are indeed not an ordinary woman, and these truths are still very pertinent."

Li Xingzhou smiled indifferently and said.

"But I thought that whether you were allowed to go back or not, the rebellion and independence of the Turks would not stop. This is a historical trend, and it is not something that you can determine with your red mouth and white teeth. ”

"Even if the four of you can really stop the sword soldiers when you go back, it will only be temporary."

"Previously, you had obediently been a Tang vassal for fifty years, and there was nothing to pick up in your behavior, but your hearts have never been truly surrendered!"

“……”

The female prisoner blinked and did not argue, and there was a hint of surprise in her expression.

Li Xingzhou smiled indifferently and continued.

"Therefore, the rebellion of the Turks is deep in their hearts, not just in their deeds."

"Even if the four of you swear to the sky that you will no longer rebel and no longer launch a war against Datang, it will be a self-deceptive delaying tactic."

"Even if the four of you think this way from the bottom of your heart, you will not be supported by everyone when you return, and you will no longer be nobles and leaders, because you have deviated from the hearts of the majority of the Turks!"

The female captive's eyes widened.

Listening to you, you don't look like an ordinary petty officer! ”

Li Baishi sneered on the side, and Yan Shun and Wang rarely laughed without saying a word.

"Well, the girl really has good eyesight!"

Li Xingzhou has a way of prescribing.

"I won't hide it from you now. Actually, I am Guo Yuanzhen! ”

"Whew!" The female captive spat in annoyance.

"The people of the grassland know Guo Yuanzhen, he has never been defeated in the army for more than 30 years, and even the grassland tribes under his command are ashamed of being inferior to ......"

"He's at least fifty years old, how old are you!"

The sergeants laughed.

Li Xingzhou touched his chin and said with a smile.

"Well, in fact, I am the concubine of the Tang Dynasty and the husband of Princess Taiping."

"Bah, bah, bah!"

The female prisoner spat three times in a row.

"I've been to Luoyang many times, more than half a year ago, when the war didn't break out, I just went there once, I know the Li Xingzhou you said!"

Li Xingzhou and everyone are even more funny now.

"Do you still know Li Xingzhou?"

"Isn't it the marital gouache man who only rolls on a woman's belly and specializes in the wind and moon field?"

"What Oiran Li Baishi, the celebrity Wu Ke'er."

The female prisoner said with a look of disdain.

"I really can't figure out how the people of the Central Plains can respect such frivolous prodigal children."

"A waste like Li Xingzhou, except for coaxing women and eating, drinking and having fun, nothing else will be. What is the use of such waste? ”

"What snowy night fell in Shanzhou, I don't know how much money it cost to buy the war exploits."

"If someone sends him to the steppe as a slave trader and gives me money, I don't want it! That kind of waste, I don't even have the qualifications to give me a ** board! ”

"However, I don't mind marrying Princess Taiping's concubine to my female slaves."

"Yes, it's that big fat female slave who is in her forties and still hasn't slept with a man once...."

"Don't you Tang people like fat women?"

"Ahem, ahem......"

Li Xingzhou coughed a few times in a row and scratched his head.

The sergeants laughed so hard that their stomachs cramped.

Li Baishi was furious.

"I tore you with this mouth!!"

"Where did I recruit you to provoke you?!"

The female captives were annoyed.

Li Xingzhou stopped Li Baishi,

"Alright, don't mess with her again. Hello everyone, rest and be quiet. ”

At this moment, the king ran back in a hurry......

"Marquis Shan, the Turks have withdrawn!!"

......
