"Are you asking me to go to Hexi to make amends?"

In the camp of the party members, Tuoba Qianli looked coldly at a room of party nobles, the decision to attack the quicksand river was made by them, but in the end, they let themselves make amends, and they couldn't bring the troops to go, hum! If you are lucky, what will you have left? The evil intentions in this are self-evident.

Tuoba was happy to see that the atmosphere in the big tent was tense, so he smiled and said: "It's not that we have to let you go, but the other party pointed out that you want to go, Wanli said that Zhang Huan may know you, I think this may be what you told him when you passed through Wuwei!" ”

"What did you tell him?" Tuoba Qianli slowly raised his head, and his cold eyes forced him to look at his eldest brother Tuoba Wanli, although the two of them were brothers, they were not born to the same mother, but on the way to compete for the king of the party, they were natural enemies.

Although he has made a lot of contributions to the party members, such as this time to trade in the Western Regions to solve the urgent needs of the Western party members, but few of the party nobles like him, especially when he succeeded as Tuoba Yue's adopted son less than ten days ago, Tuoba Yue's violent death occurred, although there is no evidence, but it is undeniable that he is the biggest suspect.

Tuoba Wanli, on the contrary, has an easy-going personality, is good at making low-key friends with other nobles, does not see an aggressive momentum in him, and treats the slaves he controls well, so he is quite popular among the party members.

Seeing that Tuoba Qianli was imposing, he also smiled coldly, not to be outdone, and said, "What can I say to him." Isn't it your responsibility that my father only asked you to take some laborers captive, but you let Baili attack the military camp first, make things bigger, and deliberately provoke conflicts between us and Hexi? Isn't it up to you to apologize? ”

His words aroused an uproar in the tent, and all the people glared at Tuoba Qianli together, Tuoba Xi couldn't sit still, and he said in a deep voice: "Qianli, you have to make things clear." ”

"A bunch of incompetent rats, do you think Zhang Huan will let you go?" Tuoba Qianli coldly threw down a sentence. Turning around, he strode out of the tent.

There was silence in the big tent, no one expressed his rudeness to Tuoba Qianli, no one showed anger, everyone said nothing with a gloomy face, but it was this silence that gradually made Tuoba Xi afraid, he knew that if he didn't handle this matter properly, he was afraid that the Western Party would fall apart soon.

He pondered for a long time, and then made up his mind, and he gave everyone a look. Then he turned back to Tuoba Wanli and said, "In this way, you go hard again, and then have a good talk with him." You have to know in your heart, as long as we can do the conditions, we can agree. ”

As soon as he left, Tuoba Xi immediately ordered someone to watch the tent door, and he whispered to everyone: "Let's discuss what to do with Tuoba Qianli, you just treat me without this son." ”

Escorted by more than a dozen entourages, Tuoba Wanli traveled all the way south. On this day, as soon as they walked to the boundary of Hexi, the remnant sun was like blood, and the cold sunset slanted on the Gobi Desert that could not be seen at a glance, which looked particularly sad. In the distance, a group of hundreds of Tang cavalry approached head-on.

When the horses galloped in front of them, a Tang military captain suddenly recognized Tuoba Wanli, "Our governor sent us to protect the party envoy, but is it the eldest prince?" ”

Tuoba Wanli arched his hand and smiled: "Exactly! ”

"Our Governor has been inspecting the Quicksand River camp for the past two days. It's not far away. ”

The cavalry of the Tang Army closely guarded Tuoba Wanli and marched south. But after walking less than thirty miles, Tuoba Wanli suddenly saw the camp of the Tang army. There are still dozens of miles away from the Liusha River, how could Zhang Huan be here?

Tuoba Wanli couldn't help but be stunned, he turned his head sharply to look at Captain Tang, but the other party glanced at him coldly, "Our Governor has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

The temperature of the Gobi Desert during the day can bake eggs, but at night the temperature drops sharply, and the huge temperature difference makes the Gobi Desert a layer of gray mist, which is like a half-used gauze scarf, making the moonlight also become hazy, revealing a strange dark red.

At the foot of the Henan Mountain, about 20 miles away from the gathering place of the party members, 5,000 iron horsemen were neatly arranged, they were like a group of huge wild wolves, their eyes were indifferent, revealing the breath of death, they were the most regular army, with strict military discipline and a strong sense of honor, they brought safety and joy to the people of Hexi, but they also brought cruel killings to the enemy and alien races, at this time an iron-blooded army that blended angels and demons.

They were waiting, waiting for the boss's final order, Zhang Huan's low and slightly hoarse voice echoed in the cold wind, "Before destroying the enemy's resistance, you are not allowed to rape women!" No looting! Anyone, whether a woman or a child, if they resist, will be killed! ”

A gust of mountain wind blew, the mountains and forests rustled, and two scouts galloped in, "Report to the governor, there has been a commotion in the camp of the party members, and there are fires and shouts. ”

Zhang Huan looked at the dark north, smiled coldly, the time to send troops came, his eyes slowly narrowed, what he saw was tens of thousands of party slaves belonging to him Zhang Huan.

"Kill!" A short command came from the gap between his tense lips, and five thousand iron horsemen suddenly launched, silently, and in the darkness they were invincible to the party camp with an unstoppable momentum.

The tens of thousands of party members who migrated to Hexi can only be said to be an accidental event in the process of Zhang Huan's passage through Hexi, just like a gold ingot he picked up during his journey, although it was only a windfall, but for Hexi, where the population is extremely scarce and arable land is scarce, these tens of thousands of party slaves are undoubtedly a huge wealth, and many times the primitive accumulation is often unrighteous and bloody.

The camp of the party members was already in chaos, and the early launch of the old nobleman Tuoba Ming exposed the attempt of the party nobles to kill Tuoba Qianli, and Tuoba Qianli took the lead and killed Tuoba Ming and the other three nobles. At the same time, he divided his troops into two places, and he personally led 2,000 men to besiege Yanran Town, while the other horses intercepted Tuoba Xi who came to the rescue.

At the same time, he released rumors, claiming that the two nobles within the party had surrendered to Ye Liping and wanted to take the king hostage, and various news circulated in the camp of the party members, they contradicted themselves and caused a great chaos in the night, but for ordinary party members, they only wanted to save the lives of their women and children. They dragged their families and families with them, and fled in all directions, looking for a safe place.

A rocket ignited a fire in one corner of the camp, and the fire was fierce in the wind of the hunting ground, and everywhere there were neighing horses, and the shadows of swords and swords were flying all over the sky.

But at this moment, many of the party soldiers suddenly stopped fighting, and they seemed to hear a strange sound, like the low roar of a wild beast looking for its prey. It is also like the roar of a great river when it bursts its banks, and in an instant, it is like a thunderclap on the ground. Thousands of swarthy cavalry groups roared, rushed, and collapsed into the party camp like a flood that burst the embankment, the blades flashed coldly, the blood arrows flew up, and the heads rolled to the ground.

The place where the Xiliang cavalry passed, the corpses were all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, there was a wail and crying everywhere, there was no mercy, only ruthless killing, and in an instant, the cavalry group killed a bloody road. The blade dripping with blood pointed directly at Yanran Town.

Tuoba Qianli was stunned, although he knew that there would be a decisive battle between the party and the Tang army in Hexi, but he never expected that the Tang army would suddenly kill at this time. A chill arose behind Tuoba Qianli, and he suddenly realized that he was actually a fish on Zhang Huan's caseboard, and what apologies and gold mining were all illusions that confused them. He didn't even care about the hostages he had taken.

Tuoba Chisato knows. The party members have been defeated, and it is no longer possible for them to organize any effective resistance. He made a quick decision, turned his horse's head and led hundreds of guards to flee desperately to the north, and he didn't forget to take Mrs. Ruyi with him when he left.

Just as Tuoba Qianli had fled, more than 2,000 Tang troops had already been killed, and they were like an unstoppable storm, slamming open the gate, and the black iron stream rushed into this small city in an instant.

Tuoba Xi cried out to the sky on the city wall, and in his last despair, he suddenly saw a man on a horse, and in the flickering firelight, he smiled coldly and mockingly, and then he saw Zhang Huan for the first time, but also for the last time.

The day gradually brightened, and the massacre of the party members gradually stopped, and the party camp was in a mess, some Tang soldiers were cleaning up money, cattle and sheep, tents and other items, while others were burying the bodies under the supervision of the Tang army, but more than a team of yellow-skinned, ragged party men and women, women holding children, men with their heads down, slowly marching south under the supervision of the Tang army, they were in groups, helping the old and the young, and they could not see their heads at a glance, and from time to time the Tang army dragged out the obese and brightly dressed men inside.

Zhang Huan stood on a hill surrounded by hundreds of guards, coldly looking at the team that seemed to be a torrent, when a military Chinese book ran up the hill and reported to Zhang Huanyu: "Governor Qiyu, we have captured more than 38,000 party members, and more than 1,000 party cavalry have fled north. ”

Zhang Huan nodded, he didn't find the shadow of Tuoba Qianli, the person who escaped should be him, he groaned and asked, "What about the gold diggers who were taken away?" ”

"More than 100 women died in the rebellion, and the rest are all well."

"Good! More than 100 young women were selected from among the party women as compensation for the families of the deceased, and all the captive gold diggers were given another 20 yuan each. ”

"Yes!" The clerk went to carry out Zhang Huan's order.

At this time, Zhang Huan saw that many old people and children were having difficulty walking, so he turned around and instructed the soldiers behind him: "Free up some carriages and horses, let these old people and children sit on them, and let people register them one by one, and try to arrange their family reunions, you know?" ”

The pro-soldiers were about to leave, but Zhang Huan suddenly stopped him again, "Tell Lin Jiuhan that all the party nobles and their children will be killed, and no one will be left." ”

In July of the second year of Xuanren, 5,000 Xiliang army iron cavalry attacked the camp of the East Party Xiang people at night, killed more than 10,000 Party members, and captured 40,000 party men and women, and sent them to Hedong as slaves.

But at the same time that Zhang Huan eliminated the Dongdang Xiangren, the situation in Huixibao suddenly became tense.
