Chapter 427: The important people caught by the bandits are expected to return to Chang'an
Chapter 427 The important people caught by the bandits are expected to return to Chang'an
Battles inevitably cost deaths, even to the most elite troops. Paying hundreds of horse thieves, Li Xian lost a total of more than a dozen people and injured dozens of people, but fortunately, all the injuries here were only minor injuries. It's just that when he buried the dead, he was no longer as depressed as when he first went to the battlefield, and his face was unusually calm.
"Your Highness, except for these two and the fleeing horse thieves, the battlefield has been cleared!"
Hearing Huo Huaien say this, Li Xian turned his head and saw his natural expression, knowing that this evil star had probably killed all the living ones. Although he felt a little cruel, he thought that the horse thieves came and went like the wind, and it was indeed a big disaster in the northwest, so he nodded: "You have memorized the merits of the soldiers, and go back to reward the merits." ”
As soon as the words fell, Murong Fu suddenly poked his head out from the side: "Master, Tuoba Hong's horse thieves have not only attacked many small departments, but even several large departments have suffered losses, and there are a lot of rewards outside. This time we show our might, in addition to this spoil, it is better to simply capture the thief and capture the king, how about taking the reward? ”
If another prince heard this, he would definitely scoff at it, and even the people around him would raise objections, and maybe they would have to throw out something like a shrimp play in a white dragon fish suit. However, Li Xian has always been a person who does not follow common sense, Cheng Bohu Xue Dingshan is a good thing, he has always been the first to look at him, although Huo Huaien has become a captain, but in essence he is still a strong and ruthless ranger, and they are all interested when they hear this.
Li Xian took the horsewhip and pointed at Murong Fu: "Murong, you kid is really ruthless, that Tuoba Hong is dead." But I even sent someone to contact you at the beginning. You actually want to exchange the heads of other people's subordinates for a bounty? ”
"Tuoba Hong only cares about my surname, and he is counting on my place name to recruit troops and horses to do big things, where is his good intentions?" Murong Fu saw Li Xian's eyes blazing and looked straight over. His face immediately became honest, "Even if I really want to be a horse thief, I won't vote for such an ambitious person, I'm afraid I won't know how to die when the time comes!" ”
"You kid is so cunning!" Li Xian scolded with a smile, then stopped paying attention to Murong Fu, and turned his head to Huo Huaien and commanded. "Lao Huo, if you go to interrogate those two people again, you must ask about the nest of the horse thief! No matter what method you use, pry their mouths open. If they dare not say anything, they will wait to feed the vultures of the sky! ”
With just such a small number of people in total, Li Xian's decision quickly reached the ears of all the relatives. They are all practicing martial arts in the mansions of various magnates, and they can't calm down at all, and they are already going crazy after being in Shudun City for a month. I feel happy to kill a lot today. As soon as they heard that they were going to pursue the horse thief's lair, and that everyone had a share in the reward, they were excited, and they felt that there was a future for following Li Xian.
Li Xianzheng was preparing to arrange a group of people to send Chi Ma Lun and his party to safety. Who knew that before he stepped forward to speak, this one suddenly took the initiative to propose: "His Royal Highness King Yong." Those horse thieves may be coming at us, my entourage are elite people, and I am not a burden, we are willing to go together! ”
Why are women so stubborn and dead-eyed these days? Li Xian looked at the pair of pursed lips and unquestionable resoluteness, thought for a moment and agreed. Although this is the future Zanmeng of the family, but the person was brought by Gegamuxia, what does it matter to him?
Yerdan, who hated the new Grand Leader Luntai, betrayed the location of the horse thieves' lair almost without thinking - the horse thieves were actually more afraid of death than anyone else, and with all the family resources depleted, they had absolutely no second choice if they didn't want to die. And with these two guides who are familiar with the terrain, Li Xian and his entourage achieved unexpected results in a lightning-like attack when they unplugged all the outposts along the road.
Behead five hundred levels!
This was a fairly successful achievement in a medium-sized campaign, and once again it was easily achieved. Of course, this is also to blame for the stupidity of the Luntai, who was still happily entertaining the guests when the knife cut through the tent, and got drunk with a tincture of cheese, and lost his head in a daze. The entire station was even more potted, and almost did not run away from top to bottom.
However, for Li Xian, exterminating the horse thief was only the completion of the set goal, and the windfall of the trip was really the biggest surprise. This group of horse thieves not only rampant in the northern part of Tuyuhun, but also often raided the Western Regions, hiding a large number of gold and silver utensils and gold and silver coins in the Western Regions, and even a lot of valuable handicrafts from the Central Plains, which are worth a lot at a glance.
The abundant loot is still secondary, and the biggest gain is that the horse thief VIP who narrowly escaped his life and was captured alive is actually an important figure in the remnants of the Western Turks, Li Shalu!
In the early years, the grievances between the two Western Turkic khans attached to the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian had heard from He Li, and there were a few pro-soldiers who were well aware of the situation in the northwest, so they would not be easily fooled. Therefore, when he learned that such an important person had been caught by mistake this time, he celebrated with his forehead, and rewarded all the gold and silver coins seized with a wave of his hand.
Gold and silver utensils are big guys, of course, they can't be carried, but God knows if these gold and silver coins will be greedy for thieves to take some for a while, it is better to divide them cleanly. So, the pockets up and down bulged again, and everyone was elated.
"His Royal Highness King Yong!"
Li Xian was sitting on the horse, watching a group of pro-soldiers busy tying their pockets one by one on the horse, when she heard the voice behind her, she turned her head and found that it was Chi Maren, and was stunned to realize that she had not made any cover up the voice just now, and it was obviously a woman's voice.
"Li Shaluo is now my Tubo people, I hope His Royal Highness will hand this person over to my grandfather to take back!" Seeing that Li Xian didn't say yes or no, Chi Malun immediately gritted his teeth and said, "As long as Li Shalu can confess that he was instructed by Qin Ling to intercept and kill me, then he will lose the trust of Zampu and the support of some nobles!" I know that His Royal Highness and Qinling have a deep hatred, and this time Qinling will definitely be defeated, so please Your Highness must agree to my request for the sake of a little friendship with me who has no Lu clan! ”
Friendship...... It's almost the same as saying it's a deal, handing people over to you, why?
Although Li Xian had no expression on his face, his eyes gradually narrowed, and when Chi Malun finished speaking, he said with a smile: "You said that Li Shalu is a native of Tubo, but he rebelled against the Tang Dynasty first, and he surrendered to Tubo later, no matter in order or according to reason, it seems that this person should be dealt with by me, not to mention that I arrested the person." Miss Lu, I have a personal grudge with Qinling, but the personal grudge comes first, and the state affairs come first, although I am lazy, I will not forget my public because of selfishness. ”
Chi Malen didn't expect that Li Xian seemed to have expected his identity, and even rejected this proposal, without even having a discussion, and couldn't help but be stunned. You know, isn't this Prince of the Tang Dynasty the most profitable? Just as she was about to lobby again, she suddenly found that the other party was looking straight into her eyes, and the sharp gaze made her heart palpitate.
"I gave all the captives to your grandfather, and Sanjidab only ransomed one bare pole to go back, this is already the bottom line of my Datang, and it is also my greatest friendship. As for this Li Shalu, I have to personally send him back to Chang'an to punish him for the crime of rebellion. ”
With that, he nodded with a smile and immediately went to arrange the opening of the pluck. And Mikhail looked at it from a distance for a while, and suddenly bypassed from the side and caught up with Li Xian.
"Your Highness, Your Highness King Yong!"
As soon as Li Xian turned his head to see Mikhail, his brows couldn't help but twist slightly. Along the way, he saw this red-haired monkey jumping up and down, as if he was offering courtesy to Chi Ma Lun, and when he saw him coming up, he suddenly felt that there was no good thing, and secretly said how Pei Xingjian recommended such a living treasure.
"Your Highness, I once saw that Li Sha Lai at the banquet of King Shule, by the way, and Ashina Duzhi! At that time, I remember that there was also a Han man who was also a guest, and I heard that it was a weapon seller in the Central Plains, and he boasted about his treasure sword. As soon as the two sentences passed, Mikhail became serious again, salivating and singing praise, "I used to only know the richness of the Roman Empire, but now I really realize that the East is too rich, ah, there is gold and silver everywhere......"
Li Xian didn't even wait for this guy to finish speaking, then turned around and walked, and then found the personal soldier who was familiar with the situation in the west just now, and when he asked, he learned that this Li Shalu and Ashina Duzhi were the subordinates of the Western Turkic Khans in the past, and now they have all voted for Tibet. Listening to the long and almost similar names, he really felt dizzy, and then thought that Pei Xingjian, the protector of most of Anxi, was dealing with these people, and suddenly felt that it was really not easy for others.
The wind and dust rushed back to Shudun City, and when He Li heard about Li Xian's "brilliant results", the first thing he did was to call Cheng Bohu, Xue Dingshan, and Huo Huaien who accompanied him over and reprimand him fiercely. He is a deputy general, and his age is there, and he can even be said to be Xiao Xue's future father-in-law, who dares to say a word? However, after being trained, the three of them were all making their own small calculations in their hearts, calculating the rate of return this time, and they didn't take Qi Qi's words to heart at all.
In the end, Qi Bi He Li didn't bother to talk about the piano to Niu anymore, volatilized the three guys, and went to look at the unlucky Li Shalu, and even thought about how to write a song.
Western Turkic ...... It stands to reason that the Western Turks no longer exist, and only the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty exists, however, since Su Haizheng's guy listened to slander and killed good people by mistake, the good situation fell apart again. This time, he got Li Shalu, and he was barely able to solve a faction, so presumably the Son of Heaven should be happy.
Alas, the strife in Chang'an has even affected him in the northwest, which is really the biggest trouble!
Thinking of Li Xian's unquiet temperament, Qi Qi He Li's old face showed an abnormal headache expression, and in the end, he didn't call his staff, and solemnly picked up the pen and wrote the first stroke on the scroll.
