Chapter 162 Izumo Pass burns five-colored wolf smoke

Money is not everything, and some people say that no matter how rich you are, you can't buy time.

In fact, this statement is not absolute.

Yanshi City is less than 1,000 miles away from Chang'an, and the distance from Rouran Shan Yutai is more than 3,800 miles, however, when Li Jiancheng, who was in Chang'an, had not yet received the information of Chen Ying's assassination, Bazhuo, who was in Yudujun Mountain (now Hangai Mountain in the Mongolian People's Republic), had already received the news.

Of course, the news he received was not low. Although carrier pigeons can deliver messages, there are too many uncertainties in carrier pigeons, and because they are too small, they become the belly food of harrier eagles. However, the cost of domesticating harrier eagles is not affordable for ordinary people, in fact, the cost of harrier eagle training is not lower than the use of horses to pass speed, on the contrary, it is more expensive.

This, of course, doesn't have to worry about it, someone is willing to bear this cost for him. Xue Yantuo's first reaction was to applaud, the plague god finally fell!

You know, since the rise of Chen Ying, the life of the nomads has become very difficult, although the nomads often lost battles when they encountered the Sui Dynasty army or the Tang army in the past, but they can use three to four times the superior force to win a battle, and they can also use the mobility advantage of the nomadic cavalry to gain the initiative on the battlefield.

However, since Chen Ying defeated the Turkic army with an incredible outnumbered crowd in the Battle of Bogulu, and even shot and wounded Shibi Khan, so that Shibi Khan was seriously injured and died, so that he became famous all over the world and rose strongly, the life of the nomads has not been easy.

Chen Ying is not only good at fighting, the key is that he is good at using strategy. All the nomads are a bird, they all adopt the system of slavery, and all the herders are the slaves of the chief. Chen Ying saw that if anyone did not like him, he would send someone to organize and lead their ordinary herdsmen to kill the nobles and divide the cattle and sheep.

No one can stand this matter on any tribe. What annoyed Xue Yantuo the most was that Chen Ying also vigorously supported their sworn enemy, the Tiele Ministry!

With Chen Ying's help, the Tiele Division, which had been beaten by Xue Yantuo to the last breath, actually came to an incredible Jedi counterattack.

It was also with the help of Chen Ying that a large number of Tang people came to Monan, digging mines, cultivating fields, drying lakes and boiling salt, purchasing wool and bones, so that the tribes who were willing to surrender to the Tang Dynasty gradually became stronger, so that all tribes understood one thing, and followed the Tang Dynasty to have meat to eat.

However, Xue Yantuo's tribe even dared to resist the Eastern Turks, how could they be subservient? The point is that they can't threaten and can't threaten the Tang people, and they can't beat them.

Well, now this scourge has finally been done! The generals of Xue Yantuo's various departments rushed to tell each other and celebrated each other.

In particular, Bazhuo was so happy that he almost went crazy.

After receiving the secret letter of the successful assassination, he laughed wildly in front of the leaders of the various times, and danced like crazy.

However, no one cared about his gaffes, and the commanders of the Xue Yantuo tribes, such as Hui Hui, Baye Gu, Ah Qiu, Tong Luo, Fu Gu, and Xia, laughed even more wildly.

There is no way, Chen Ying's pressure on them is too great, but the four wars against the Turks have caused the myth that "the Tang army cannot be full of 10,000, and it is impossible to fight when it is full of 10,000", from Anxi to the verge of collapse!

How can this not frighten them?

They all know how many sins they have created, once they let Datang free his hands, what awaits them will be the most terrible reckoning, is there a more terrible nightmare than this?

Now it's okay, that demon has finally fallen, Xue Yantuo is going to turn over again, their lives, their glory and wealth, are all saved!

Bazhuo waved his arms excitedly and shouted, "God bless Xue Yantuo!" As soon as Chen Ying fell, no one could stop my Xue Yantuo's rolling iron horse, God bless Xue Yantuo! ”

"He has been killed by his own people, God bless Xue Yantuo!"

In fact, don't look at Bazhuo killing the Yinan Khan, seizing the Khan throne, and tearing the flag to rebel, in fact, he is very afraid of Chen Ying. His slogan was shouted loudly, but he didn't make any action at all, but retreated more than a thousand miles from Rouran to the platform, and retreated to Yu Dujun Mountain.

Because he was also afraid.

In fact, Xue Yantuo is a wonderful thing. In history, they rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and were pressed to the ground by Xue Rengui for a while, and later heard that Xue Rengui was dead, so they rebelled again. As a result, when Xue Rengui took off his helmet in front of the battle, Xue Yantuo's people all dismounted and lined up to pay respects, and gradually fled. Xue Rengui took advantage of the situation to pursue, defeated the enemy, killed tens of thousands of people, captured more than 20,000 people (one made 30,000), captured more than 30,000 camels, horses, cattle and sheep, and won a great victory in Yunzhou.

At this time, Bazhuo shouted: "Raise the tent, gather the generals!" ”

"Woo ......"

The sad and thick battle horn sounded in the sky, and the warriors of Xue Yantuo who heard the news gathered outside the king's tent in the gathering place, and as time went by, Xue Yantuo soldiers gathered more and more, and gradually became dense, and the crowd was like a sea.

The people of Xue Yantuo did not have such good equipment, but the leather armor on their bodies was also repaired and decorated, and when these cavalrymen rode horses, carried strong bows, and held scimitars, a wave of Shuo Qi from the desert swept the whole field.

Ba Zhuo inspected his troops, laughed loudly, and shouted: "Warriors, Li Tang has lost the favor of heaven, they hold your swords and guns, follow Ben Khan's battle banner into Guanzhong, break through Chang'an, take the anointed land that only we deserve, turn the city of the Han people into a sea of blood, plunder their wealth, wives and daughters, kill all their warriors, let them kneel before us and wag their tails and beg for mercy, and be our slaves!" ”

Xue Yantuo's blood was boiling, his eyes were bloodshot, and he roared: "Enter the customs!" Entry! Entry! ”

The faces of the leaders of countless Xue Yantuo tribes were swollen red, and they roared out in their lungs: "Enter the customs!" Entry! Entry! ”

The entire sky resounded: "Enter!" The roar of "entering the customs" is like countless wild wolves howling!

Yes, you have to enter the customs!

They are fed up with this bitter cold land, and only by entering the customs can they live a rich life, and only by entering the customs can they live!

……

The news of Chen Ying's assassination outside Yanshi City finally reached Chang'an City. As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall, and the news of Chen Ying's assassination in Guanzhong has stirred up thousands of terrifying waves in the Chang'an area.

The people of the Gyeonggi area all scolded: "Those bastards who have no sons must die well!" ”

"Why doesn't the eye of heaven kill those beasts who don't have long eyes!"

No matter how much you scold, it doesn't really help.

The most important thing is that they suddenly found that after Chen Ying's assassination, there was a deep worry.

What to do in Guanzhong?

What about the border?

Li Jiancheng was furious.

Killing officials is tantamount to rebellion, which is the axiom of all dynasties. After all, officials are public instruments of the imperial court, and no matter whether they are public or private, they must not kill officials if they want to.

Chen Ying was the prince of the dynasty, the general of the hussars, and the protector of the capital of Anxi, but he was assassinated. The most annoying thing is that it was at the critical moment of the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and Goguryeo.

This is a provocation, a naked provocation.

When the early dynasty learned the news, Li Jiancheng was so angry that he swept a handful of music folds all over the sky on the spot, trembling slightly, and roared angrily: "Damn! Damn it! It's so deceitful! I am determined to exterminate the nine clans and make them pay for it! ”

Wei Zheng's eyes looked at Fang Xuanling, and the meaning of unkindness in his eyes was very obvious.

The clan didn't have that much courage, and once the plot to assassinate Chen Ying failed, the gods couldn't save them. No matter who becomes emperor in the future, they don't want to turn over again.

Unless......

The most terrifying thought rose in Wei Zheng's head.

Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng and smiled bitterly: "Xuancheng, don't look at me like this, I don't know anything!" ”

Yang Gongren said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, they are ...... It's going to be a rebellion! If it can't be destroyed as soon as possible, everyone will follow suit, and the face of the Tang Dynasty will be gone, and what face do we and other ministers have to go to see the ancestors and ancestors! ”

Wang Qi was silent.

Li Jiancheng's chest became more and more angry, and he looked at Dai Zhou and said, "Dai Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Not long after Dai Xuan became the secretary of the Criminal Department, his ass was not yet hot, but he had already shown a good strategy and scheming, and as the only Xiangguo who entered the political hall with criminal law, he became a hot minister with his bare hands.

Dai Xuan didn't dare to slack off, and went out of the class to play: "Your Majesty, there are so many wolf ambitions in the world, according to the opinion of Wei Chen, it is advisable to try the three divisions and destroy them with lightning speed, one to kill chickens and monkeys, to defend the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, and to cut off the wrong thoughts of those chaotic ministers and thieves...... It is a matter of life and death for the community, and it is not allowed to happen, sooner rather than later! ”

……

The world is like chess, and only the emperor will take the common people of the world as a chess word.

Chen Ying's assassination is actually just a small link, and the most important link is still in Anxi.

The Geluo Mountains are the only link of the three passages between the East and the West in the Green Mountains.

At this time, in front of the Izumo Pass in the Geluo Mountains, a large number of caravans appeared densely.

The young general of the Tang Army guarding here is an unknown young general, Xue Rengui, who has just killed three enemy leaders with three arrows and has been promoted to lieutenant.

As a lieutenant-level officer, Datang has more than 300 in Anxi, so Xue Rengui is not ranked in the Anxi army.

However, as Xue Rengui, who has no family background and no background, was able to be promoted from a small soldier to a captain, and he also entrusted Chen Ying's blessing. Because Anxi Jun does not talk about family background, nor background, but only ability. As a family of generals from the Xue family in Hedong, Xue Rengui is familiar with military books and war strategies, and in the Anxi army, he is also a person who has entered the sight of Zhang Huaiwei, the head of Anxi Shule.

Or it is sympathy, or it is because of the pity of talent, Zhang Huaiwei has received the holy decree and will be called back to Chang'an, he is ready to recommend Xue Rengui to enter the Tang Anxi Lecture Hall for further study, as long as Xue Li completes his studies, he can at least be promoted to the rank of lieutenant of Zhichong.

Xue Rengui is a very serious person, and he will carefully inspect every caravan entering the customs every day on duty. Seeing that at this time, it was still covered with ice and snow, and more than 100 caravans and more than 10,000 people were left in front of the pass, and he felt that it was too abnormal.

According to the usual custom, one caravan after another entered the sentry box a hundred steps before the gate for inspection.

All the customs clearance documents are normal, the formalities are complete, the only thing that makes Xue Rengui uneasy is that at this time, there is no caravan to pass the customs at all, and it will be mid-March at the earliest.

Just as the caravan that had finished the inspection slowly entered the city, Xue Rengui waved his hand and said, "Stop, check!" ”

Perhaps because of the lack of thieves, this caravan did not slow down, but rushed towards the city at a faster speed, and when they arrived at the city gate, they immediately picked up their weapons and pounced on the Tang soldiers in the city gate.

"Enemy Attack ......"

Xue Rengui's warning was finally a little late, and the dead soldiers, disguised as Lite merchants, rushed into the city gate and began to kill the city walls.

The other caravans waiting to pass the pass also tore off their camouflage and rushed towards Izumo Pass with their blades.

If it was the Izumo Pass controlled by the other captains who defended the city, maybe this enemy would have succeeded.

The key is that Xue Rengui reacted too quickly, and when the enemy launched an attack, he immediately swung his knife to cut the jack gate on the city gate, and locked a team outside the city and the enemy outside the city.

At the same time, five-colored wolf smoke rose from the walls of Izumo Pass.
