Chapter 1: Xiao Xiao Sunset Under the Banner
"Don't worry, handsome! Xiao Lang Junji is a celestial appearance, there is a horse team in front of the rescue, and a famous doctor is guarding the back, it will be unharmed, and he will wake up tomorrow at the latest. Behind the handsome, followed by a scholar in a cyan round-necked robe, thin and always with a faint smile on his face.
"Du Liulang, Xie Rujiyan! The military situation is urgent, so let's go to the nest car to observe the enemy situation first. The handsome man replied indifferently, and the gloom on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
Da Shuai and Du Liulang stepped into the hanging basket together, and six or seven soldiers pulled the hanging basket up. As the hanging basket continued to rise, the line of sight crossed the city wall in the distance, and the outline of Shattered Leaf City gradually emerged. In terms of general shape, Broken Leaf City and Chang'an have some similarities, but the scale is much smaller.
"Look, big man, there is a big tent in the middle of the city, these Turks are really crowned by monkeys, and they have learned a little bit of our fur, but deep down they are still barbarians, and they can't live in a good palace, and they have to stay in the tent, which is really unreasonable."
"Rokuro, this may be the cleverness and perseverance of Sulu, Shift, and others. You see, in the city, the rest of the Turkishes have already lived in the houses, and only the chief still lives in the central tent to give orders, which shows that they are sticking to their traditions. At that time, Emperor Taizong imitated the pattern of Chang'an to build a town to promote the culture of the Tang Dynasty in this western place, so that the hearts of all the ethnic groups in the Western Regions would be towards the Tang Dynasty. After the broken leaves changed hands several times and became the location of the tooth tents of the Tuqi Shi people, the khans of the past dynasties have supported the dome in the center of the city, but they only use the city walls built by our Tang Dynasty to shelter from the wind and rain and defend against foreign enemies, and their power center still follows their own traditions. Only then will they feel that they are an independent force, not dissolving into our land, like those Turkic peoples who are attached to them. It is for this reason that they are the first rat at both ends, no, the first rat at the third end, on the surface, it is my Tang Dynasty's vassal, the west of the imperial food, the south to Tubo, in fact, with our money and grain, and the big food, Tubo hooked up, unclear, lack of loyalty. Now the saint is anxious to send troops to seize the stone fort, and there will be a fierce battle between the Longyou army and Tubo. The war is about to start, and our army must not be able to leave such a role in the pillow of Qin and Duchu. The big marshal seemed to remember something more and fell silent. Du Liulang didn't say a word, carefully pondering the words of the big handsome.
"Speaking of the city wall of Broken Leaf just now, how do you think Broken Leaf is defending now?" It was the big handsome who broke the silence.
"Dashuai, the Tuqi people are not good at building cities, let alone defending cities, and in recent years, they have been attacked by Anxi and our Beiting several times, and their strength has been greatly reduced. If it is a mounted archery field battle, our army still needs to deal with it carefully; If the Turks and the people of the Turks use their weaknesses to avoid their strengths and stick to the city, although it will take some time, our army has all kinds of means to break through this broken leaf city, and it will definitely die when the time comes, but if you want to move and promote it has a good reputation for fighting, it should not be so stupid. ”
"Look at this", Da Shuai took out a piece of paper and handed it to Du Liulang. "What is this?" Du Liulang quickly glanced at the contents of the piece of paper, "This should be the secret letter that the Ma Xuan horse team is brought, is the information on Gao Xianzhi's side reliable?" ”
"Although Gao Xianzhi has an average relationship with a certain person, he is not a villain who abolishes the public for personal reasons, and the scouts of the Anxi Army are not inferior to our Beiting, and I believe that the information should be reliable."
"Yes, the bravery of the horse team is enough to show the strength of the Anxi army. It is thanks to the horse team, otherwise Xiao Langjun would be in danger. Well, how can a horse be frightened? After Xiao Langjun wakes up, the handsome man must strictly investigate this matter! Also, how could Wang Yong, as Xiao Langjun's personal guard, have such a big leak? Ma was not by Xiao Langjun's side when he was frightened, he has always been a cautious person! ”
"I hope Fei'er can wake up soon, otherwise I really don't know what to do!" The big marshal subconsciously looked in the southeast direction, and the worry on his face was even heavier. "But it's not Wang Yong's problem, I asked him when I came back, he said that before the horse was frightened, he noticed that there were signs of a master fighting in the woods, and he was not at ease, and he stepped forward to investigate, and there was an accident."
"Wang Yong didn't protect Xiao Langjun well, but found a little lady of the same age as Xiao Langjun in the woods, with a high nose and deep eyes, hands like soft wattles, and collars like grubs. Du Liulang frowned deeply and fell into thought.
"There's a language you don't even know?" The handsome glanced at Du Liulang in surprise?
"Dashuai, the heaven and the earth are so big, how can we spy on them. Let's say that this land of broken leaves, next to Suye Water and Atami, is more than 10,000 miles away from Chang'an, and it is already the extreme west of the Central Plains. But according to the map drawn by the Anxi scouts, more than 1,000 miles to the west from the broken leaves, there are also medicine killing water and Wuhu River, and the two rivers flow to the north and flow into a large sea in the northwest, and its water is bitter and salty, and the people of the nine kingdoms of Zhaowu call it the Aral Sea. According to the Sogdian merchants who came and went to the river, Damascus and Baghdad, the famous cities of Damascus and Baghdad, were prosperous places where cars and horses were busy. And to the west of Damascus, there is the sea, and the ocean is boundless. There are still many countries in the northwest and southwest of Damascus, but many Sogdian merchants have never been there, and most of them are unknown, except that Kunlun Nu seems to have come from the southwest of Damascus. Dashuai, the world is so big, there are naturally a lot of things that you don't understand, and it's not surprising. I just hope that one day I can travel to all countries, write down words, and pass it on to future generations, so that future generations can know the vastness of heaven and earth without leaving home, and also understand the will of our generation. ”
"Great! Great! Liulang has the ambition of Kunpeng, and he will rise to the top one day, be poor in the north, and swim in the West Sea. When the time comes, Rokuro should drink with the foolish brother, and he will be a big white! The handsome man hit the railing in admiration, and the hanging basket shook slightly. But after the iQue world, Rokuro should talk about the current affairs, let's stand so high, it's not just for the sake of iTravel. ”
Du Liulang smiled slightly, and also came back from his floating thoughts. "I think that there will be a move in the near future, and our army needs to be on standby at any time. Although our army is good at attacking cities, but the casualties of siege will be large, if we can successfully ambush the enemy who is like an arrow, we can reduce the casualties of the sergeants and achieve greater victories. It's just that Shifter is a cunning old fox, and he needs to be careful what tricks he plays. ”
"Hmph, the army is pressing the realm and hitting the eggs with stones, what tricks can he play. He has no intention of fighting now, and the biggest possibility is nothing more than the suspicious formation and the sacrifice of the pawn to protect the car, which needs to be carefully referenced by Liulang. ”
"Don't worry, you will live up to your mission." After saying that, Du Liulang carefully observed the terrain around Shattered Leaf City again, and a familiar smile appeared on his face.
The sun had gradually sunk, and the hanging basket creaked down amid the sound of the horns. Under the blowing of the strong wind, the hanging basket trembled a little, the handsome man grabbed the railing of the hanging basket with both hands, and his calm face still had a slightly anxious expression, looking at the big tent below from time to time. Du Liulang held his chin with his left hand, and his right hand was still nodding in the direction of Broken Leaf City.
The wind blew, and the big banner of the Broken Leaf City and the Tang Army waved in the last afterglow, as if they were desperately telling something. But as the last arc disappeared below the horizon, the entire land was suddenly enveloped in a thick night, and a strong killing aura was gathering on the Suyeshui River Valley.
