Chapter 91: The Igo Dynasty
"Boom ······"
Under the city of Iwu, the war horses galloped, and ten knights like beggars roared past, and there was suddenly an extra package on the ground.
On the city wall, the fat man and his soldiers looked at each other.
"General, why don't you open the city gates and take a look?"
"Beware of deception!"
"That's right! It must be a conspiracy of horse thieves to try to open the city gates! ”
The various suggestions of his subordinates upset the fat man, and he inadvertently saw Liu Ling, who could fight a draw with the Turkic generals.
"Leader Liu, what do you think?"
"Find a rope, drop a soldier, and pick up the package!" Liu Ling didn't care about defending the city, and was only worried about his nephew.
Horse thieves are ferocious!
Those horse thieves who were driven to southern Xinjiang by King Shanshan even ate children when they were hungry.
Soon.
The panicked guard brought back the package, but the things inside made everyone puzzled.
Gold locks, silver sticks, jade pendants, bone ornaments, a lot of them.
"Huh? Could it be that a horse thief is giving us a gift? ”
"Tolls?"
"It's possible! There was once a horse thief who wanted to pass through Shanshan City to Moxi, didn't he just hand over all the gold and silver utensils as tolls? (Moxi: Junggar Basin.) )
"Shut up!"
The fat man's face was ugly, he picked out a blue-green jade pendant, shook Suo Suo Mo for a moment, and suddenly sat down on the ground and cried, "Son! ”
The soldiers around him were unknown, but Liu Ling's face changed.
"Not good! The little prince, they were caught by horse thieves! ”
"Leader Liu, look, there's a letter here, and it's full of small seals!"
·······
It is impossible for Yang Shuang to attack the city as soon as he arrives in Yiwu.
The five hundred cavalry went first, just to open the way, to investigate the military situation and draw maps, and the main force was still the thousand sword and shield soldiers.
Accidentally catching the children of the Iwu nobles is actually useless.
Could it be that these hostages should be used to threaten the defenders to open the city gates?
What are you kidding, the Turks can even kill their own fathers, and it is difficult to understand the temperament of these Turkic Han people.
Of course, if you exchange the children of the nobility for some baggage, it may be very easy.
"What's your name?"
"Helian Nalo!"
"Lao Tzu is talking about the Han surname!"
"Uh····· My grandfather once said, my surname is Feng! ”
"Very good, go to the left!"
"What's your name?"
"Tiefer Balado."
"What about the Han surname?"
"Nope!"
"Go to the right!"
In the end, out of the forty-five noble children, only six knew their surnames, and the rest were all smoked to death.
"I don't even know what my surname is, haven't you forgotten your ancestors? Thirty whips per person, no food tonight! ”
arranged a large number of sentry horses to draw maps, and Yang Shuang was not idle.
"Big brother, Iwu is here!"
"Oh? Can it bring baggage? Yang Shuang's eyebrows were frivolous, but he didn't expect that the news had just passed, and he had responded to the convenience, and it seemed that he was not as heartless as a barbarian.
"Ten carts of corn, ten carts of grain and grass, enough for us to use for three days!"
"Grass! I don't even have cattle and sheep, so I want to eat? Yang Shuang was furious, walked out of the camp quickly, and looked up to see a man who was somewhat similar to Kuolida.
"Who are you?"
Liu Ling walked into the enemy camp and already smelled the danger.
These people, who are more like horse thieves than horse thieves, are definitely not horse thieves!
Although the ten soldiers at the door were dressed in tatters, the weapons in their hands were sharp, especially the momentum exuded from their bodies, which made him tremble, and he seemed to see the armor soldiers stationed in Yangguan more than ten years ago during the period of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
Trained!
"A certain Naiwu guard, Liu Ling."
"Wow! It's not humble or arrogant, it's a little interesting. Yang Shuang smiled and nodded, to the soldiers, he had never had the idea of embarrassment, his eyes had turned, "Come on, bring out those children who still know what their ancestors' surnames are!" ”
Liu Ling didn't squint, no, he was staring at the strange cow wagging his tail in the distance!
It's huge!
"These six people, you bring them back first, as for the others, the number of baggage is not enough, understand?"
Liu Ling nodded, his eyes were aimed at his nephew who was holding a sheep in the distance, and while sighing, he was also relieved.
Among the children of the nobles, the nephew will definitely not be the first to be rescued, otherwise it is better to return to Yiwu City, it is better to live than to die, and it is better to stay among the horse thieves.
"Big brother, will these burdens be poisonous?"
"Let those noble children help us taste it first!" Yang Shuang laughed, and the voice just reached the ears of Yiwu Laoli, who had not gone far.
········
"What? You're saying they're not horse thieves? ”
In the small and gorgeous royal palace of Igo Castle, King Igo was full of shock.
Below, twenty civil and military generals, sweating profusely, lined up on both sides with panic on their faces, and in the middle stood the fat man who came to report.
"Yes, King!"
"And who are they?"
In the fat man's heart, a general can not fight, but he can't not use people.
Liu Ling is undoubtedly a talent, and he must be promoted.
Of course, the position cannot exceed oneself.
"The subordinate general Liu Ling went deep into the enemy camp and desperately probed the news, and found that these horse thieves were well-trained, and it was very likely that they were the elite of Gaochang State, and it was not ruled out that the Sui army was scattered by the Turks!"
"Impossible!" Among the ministers, an old man with a sheep's beard walked out of the queue, "King, Gaochang has always been our brotherly state, during the period of the first king, the Dunhuang army of the Northern Zhou Dynasty came to attack many times, if it wasn't for their help, how would we live here now?" ”
"Makes sense!" King Yiwu nodded, "And, Gaochang is the same as us, there is a shortage of major generals, and the defense forces are all from the Turks, and now that the Turks have withdrawn, it is estimated that the strength of Gaochang City is not much different from ours!" It seems that nine times out of ten, these horse thieves are the Great Sui rout! Ladies and gentlemen, can you think of a good idea? ”
"Ask for help from King Shanshan!" The goatee shouted loudly.
"The minister is against!" The fat man suddenly raised his leg and kicked the goatee two meters away with a nimble that did not match his body shape at all.
Without waiting for the other party to get up, the fat man squatted down, "King, King Shanshan is uneasy and kind, if you ask them for help, won't you send away tigers and leopards and usher in jackals?" That old guy is more ruthless than the Turks! Moreover, I suspect that the prime minister is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country! ”
"Liu Yong, presumptuous, use force in the court, can you look at the king in your eyes?" The civil officials rushed up and scrambled to save Goatee.
And the array of generals is also gearing up and rushing forward, preparing to recapture the brave general.
"Stop me!" King Yiwu blew his beard angrily and glared, slapped the throne with both hands, and was very suspicious of how those great emperors who had thousands of miles of territory at every turn managed the country.
When everything in the hall calmed down, the civil and military forces lined up again, and half an hour had passed.
"Ask for help from King Shanshan!"
"No, my king, don't you remember the humiliation you suffered before? Just a small Turkic leader, he will shout at you and replace it with the king of Shanshan······" The fat man wailed and cried.
"This king has made up his mind, don't care!"
King Igo waved his hand, ignoring the people in the palace, and walked to the apse with two maids.
Wenchen was like a rooster in a big victory, and he walked out of the hall one after another with high spirits.
For a long time, only generals were left in the palace.
"General, how is this good? When the Turks were in the time, we were slaves and maids, could it be that when King Shanshan came, we still had to serve like that? ”
The fat man's small eyes narrowed slightly, and he exhaled deeply, "Don't worry, King Shanshan's reinforcements won't come!" ”
