The ground is white and the wind is cold, the snowflakes are as big as hands, and Tingzhou City is covered in silver. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info|For every two people who watch romance, there is an account that has registered for the network.
In the inner city pavilion, Captain Turk of the Grelu Wanfu fidgeted restlessly with a hot charcoal stove. The urge to open the heavy curtain to listen to the movement in the city surged in his chest several times, but he had to hold back. Because he knew that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him in the pavilion, and he must not act rashly. ===Douluo Continent 3 Legend of the Dragon King/book/52261/===.
On the surface, Terk was ordered by Gelulu Xiaoye's protector Rasihan to come to Tingzhou from Gongyue City to discuss with the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate how to properly resolve the grassland dispute between the Gelulu Department and the Shatuo Department.
The tens of thousands of Shatuo people who were embedded like wedges between the Bow Moon and the Broken Leaves of the Qarlu were nominally under the jurisdiction of the Hezhong Jiedu, but their leader, Zhu Xie Duzhong, was only the prince of the Shatuo tribe and still had to obey the orders of his father, the Khan Zhu Xie Gu. And the nomadic Shatuo headquarters in the Beiting Yizhou Pu Shihai is only the Beiting Protector Wang is looking forward to the horse's head.
There are historical reasons for such a tangled situation. Four years ago, after Wang Zhengjian led the combined forces of Qarluq, Shatuo, and Hujiasi to destroy the Turgish Khanate, he gave a large area of grassland in Suye Shuida to the Shatuo tribe in the name of rewarding his military exploits, so as to monitor the growing Qarluqs.
Three years ago, in the Battle of Talas, the Gollulu Ye Protector of Gellulu was killed on the battlefield, and the eldest son Mura Rakhara and the second son Murashan competed for the throne, resulting in the division of the Qarluq tribe into two. And the Shatuo people are located right between the two parts, becoming a buffer between the two sides.
Although the Qarluq tribe fought endlessly, the pasture dispute between the two tribes and the Shatuo people always existed. The fiercest dispute occurred three and a half years ago, when Qarlu and Shatuo met with each other, which directly triggered the exodus of the Tuqi slaves and shook the western part of the city.
After the establishment of the Jiedu envoy in the river, Ashina Yang personally went to the north bank of Suye Water to draw the boundaries of the grasslands of various departments. Helplessly, Ge Lulu and Sha Tuo had a deep grudge, and there were one or two small frictions every once in a while. The annoying Mo Ra Sihan decided to draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle, and sent his henchman Telke to find the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate to completely end the dispute.
When Turk arrived in Tingzhou, Wang Zhengjian had already set off for Chang'an to meet the Heavenly Khan. Terk had to negotiate with the deputy capital escort Cheng Qianli and Chang Shi Duhuan. In Wang's absence, the negotiation process was extremely slow. Fortunately, Telke was not anxious, he ran to the Beiting Duhu Mansion every day, and in his spare time, he also visited the shops such as Ruyiju and Suyeju in Nanshi, and in a blink of an eye, it was November 20 of the eleventh year of Tianbao.
On the 20th, although the itinerary of the beautiful Turk was as usual, his heart was extremely nervous. Because the real purpose of his trip was not to settle the grassland dispute at all, but the recipe for fierce oil fire.
During the expedition to the Stone Kingdom, Telke witnessed the majestic power of the fierce oil fire destroying the world and was extremely shocking. As a confidant of Mou Ra Sihan, he knew how much Ye Hu longed for such a sharp weapon. At the end of last year, when Ye Hu served as the envoy of the Hezhong Dynasty and went to Chang'an to meet the Heavenly Khan, he accidentally purchased dozens of cans of fierce oil fire from Hongnong Pavilion, and brought them back to Gongyue City and regarded them as treasures. He secretly summoned skilled craftsmen to ponder for more than half a year, but he still couldn't reverse the formula of the fierce oil fire.
At a loss, someone suddenly came to Gongyue City in disguise with a secret letter from Cheng Qianli to visit Mou Rasihan, and invited the Qarlu Department to seize the formula for the fierce oil fire together.
Listening to the envoy's proposal, Telk's mind was stirred, but Molashan was as calm as water.
"Ye Hu, a godsend...... opportunity"
Before Telke finished speaking, Mou Ra Sihan, who was familiar with the story of the Xi, shook his head and said: "
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) This matter is deceitful, do not be gullible. Cheng Qianli is just a martial artist, how can he have so many flowers. ”
"Then let's capture the messenger and hand it over to Ashina?"
"No!" Mou Ra Sihan said face-to-face: "Beiting is run by Wang Zhengjian like an iron bucket, and he can't even insert a needle. Rising out of thin air, the source should be in Chang'an. No matter who is hiding behind the scenes to manipulate this matter, it means that there is a gap in Tingzhou. You quickly gather your men, disguise yourself as a Turquoise caravan and lurk in Tingzhou to stand by, and the passing place will be arranged in advance. Then you rushed to Beiting to command in the name of business trip, and it was naturally good to get the formula, even if you couldn't get it, you would have to make a big fuss in Tingzhou, destroy the military village where the Beiting Army was refining fierce oil and fire, and capture a few craftsmen. ”
Soon after Telke, who was on a secret mission, arrived at the Tingzhou Pavilion Station, there was an additional secret letter in the room, informing him that the defenders would change their guards on November 20, and attached a map of the military fortification.
According to the advice of Mou Rasihan, the suspicious Turk visited Cheng Qianli many times in the name of discussing grassland disputes, observing and figuring out his words and deeds. After probing, Terk thought that either Cheng Qianli City was extremely deep, or he really didn't know anything. And Turk prefers the latter, because he is convinced of the way he sees people, which is why he followed Ye Hu with all his heart.
While wandering around Nanshi, Turk also noticed that there were many "like-minded" caravans in the city, which made him more and more suspicious of the mastermind behind the scenes. Knowing that the other party could not be trusted, but having to cooperate with him, and pretending to be a step-by-step manner, Telke had a feeling of walking with a jackal in the dark. Fortunately, Ye Hu was aware of everything, and did not fantasize about winning the fierce oil fire formula overnight, but had other plans. For this reason, Ye Hu also specially prepared a backhand......
The cold wind is like a knife, and the snow is as big as a seat.
"Woooooo The high-pitched sound of a horn pierced through the snowstorm, over the solid walls, through the cracks in the curtain, and into Telke's ears.
"At three o'clock, change the defenders and return to the camp." Telke lifted the curtain, but saw goose feathers and heavy snow covering the sky: "Good weather! ”
Broken jade, snow abuse, wind and gluttony.
On the side street outside the south gate of the inner city of Tingzhou, two horse-drawn carriages seem to be wandering aimlessly, but they are always hovering near the inner south gate. The four pack horses in charge of pulling the cart were all large food horses of the gods, and the horses were equipped with simple saddle sheaths.
"Why hasn't the person who sent the recipe and drawings come out yet?" Mutaia, who was hiding in the carriage, was anxious. In order to hide people's eyes, the two carriages were driven by hired Han coachmen, and the doors and windows were tightly shielded. Mutaia took three of his strongest men to hide in the front car, and Abeni and four others were responsible for answering in the back car.
After seeing through the sinister intentions of the deputy governor of Beiting, Mu Tai'a led people to break into the Ruyiju branch and forced the other party to show up for negotiations. Intimidated by the fierce momentum of the Khorasan cavalry, Cheng Qianli, a young Tang representative who claimed to be the shopkeeper of Pei, came forward to talk with Mu Tai Ami for a long time. After three years of hard training, although Mutai's Chinese was not fluent, it was enough to speak directly to the Tang people without an interpreter.
Mu Tai'a questioned why he was looking for so many foreign aids, and the shopkeeper Pei asked if he could capture the walled city with only a hundred lightly armed warriors? Mu Tai'a asked how to divide the labor and how to divide the spoils, and the shopkeeper Pei smiled and said nothing. Mu Tai'a immediately reacted, the formula of the fierce oil fire and the drawings of the counterweight stone throwing machine were not in the military village at all!
"Your Excellency Nadeem, Wang Zheng is suspicious
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) ghost, how could you put the recipes and blueprints containing earth-shattering secrets outside the city. Deputy Cheng Duhu inquired many times, and finally determined that the things were placed in the secret room of the Beiting Duhu Mansion. The shopkeeper Pei showed his hole cards.
"Is the attack on the walled city fake, and the real battlefield is in the inner city?" General Mude'a was skeptical.
"If it weren't for your deaf ears and clear eyes, how would you tell the truth." Shopkeeper Pei said helplessly: "Since Your Excellency has traced it here, I will not let you go home empty-handed." ”
"I don't believe it!" Mude'a was vigilant.
"Your Excellency Nadeem, the inner city is heavily defended, and it is difficult for you to blend in, and even if you do, it is difficult to make a difference. We are responsible for finding recipes and drawings in the secret room, and you need your cooperation to get out of the city. On the evening of the 20th, please bring someone to meet you outside the inner south gate. Shopkeeper Pei commanded.
"Why should I trust you?"
"Your Excellency can not believe it, and then go out and take someone back to Mulu City. Anyway, there is no shortage of helpers in the next place. "Shopkeeper Pei has no fear.
"How did you enter the secret room of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate?" Mu Tai'a was suspicious of the weak shopkeeper Pei.
"If you can't restrain a chicken, you can't do it. However, someone did it, and it just so happened that she was under the friend. Shopkeeper Pei smiled and pointed to the roof, and Mu Tai'a suddenly realized at this time where the hidden or visible sense of oppression came from since entering Ruyi's residence.
"Okay, see you on the twentyth!" After weighing it up repeatedly, Mutaia had to bow his head and give in.
However, Mutaia did not fully trust the unidentified Pei shopkeeper. After discussing with Ebenny, he decided to place only a small number of elite troops near the inner south gate, and most of the troops were still deployed near the walled city in the western suburbs, so that he could observe the battle situation of the walled city and facilitate the reception of his companions in the city.
At the same time, Mutaia also sprinkled a lot of manpower along the side streets to ensure a smooth retreat, after all, the experience of being besieged by the Tang army last time was too painful.
While anxiously waiting, Mude'a also found out that there was also a Umayyad caravan in the city. However, according to Mudea'a's observations, the caravan was also very suspicious, and it was probably disguised by "Assasin".
According to the news that the Udhu merchants were ambushed in Damascus, after returning to China, Anicee urged the puppet king of the Umayyad family to implement a series of changes. One of them is to recruit elite soldiers to form a team dedicated to foreign espionage and assassination, and this mysterious team is said to be named "Assasin" by Anice.
To Mudea'a's bewilderment, he vaguely felt that the word Assasin had some hints of Turkic or Persian, but he couldn't figure out what it meant. Mude'a naturally couldn't guess that Anicee was so named because he heard Wang Fei tell the story of the Assassin organization "Assasin" flying through the wall during his expedition to the west......
"The Umayyad family is indeed particularly concerned about Tingzhou, but you have been deceived by the cunning Tang people." Being able to stay one step ahead of the enemy made Mutaia a little proud: "Once you have the recipe and blueprints, the governor will be able to lead the Khorasan cavalry to level Damascus and conquer the river!" ”
The wind is fierce and the snow is dense, and the military village is towering.
On the southern city wall, Xue Shouyi of the North Courtyard Tooth Soldiers was curled up behind the female wall, vigilantly watching the vast wilderness covered by wind and snow through the lookout hole. Beside him, a row of sparse and sparse straw men stood in defiance of the cold, looking like bored soldiers from a distance.
