Chapter 85: Lingzhou Cloud Who Scattered Three
Lifei Shouyu's retreat did not alert the Tongluo scouts, who were only ordered to intensify patrols and prohibit others from approaching the Tongluo garrison, rather than to start a battle with the Shuo army. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full text reading]
After a young ten-division commander checked the token in Li Fei Yuanli's hand, he first sent two scouts Pegasus back to the station to report, and then put on a position to escort the prisoners, and slowly headed north with Luo Puli and his party.
"Dare to ask what the ten-captain is called?" Seeing that both sides were secretly on guard, Tong Luo Puli used Turkic to ease the atmosphere.
"Brutus." The young Captain of the Ten heard a hint of familiarity and cordiality in his accent with Luo Puli.
Tong Luo Puli stared at the still immature face of the Ten, and asked softly, "Captain Brutus, do you know a girl named Kuruna, who is about the same age as me, not too tall, and has big eyes. ”
"Kuruna?" Brutus scratched his head and thought for a moment, then said in surprise and joy: "Do you know Sister Kuruna?" After moving south to Lingzhou, our tent was not far from her house, and I vaguely remember the way she laughed. However, a few years ago, her father went to Longyou with the Khan to participate in the war, and set a family affair for her in Shanzhou, and she has not been seen since. ”
"Brutus, I'm also with Luobu. Kuruna was my playmate when I was a child, and you can call me a paddle for Laupri. Tong Luo Puli learned that Kuruna's fate was quite smooth, and the burning emptiness of the heart finally shed a cool light rain.
"Huh? You're also from the same Luo department? Why haven't I seen you before? Brutus was skeptical.
"Brutus, not everyone is lucky enough to move south. I've been away for more than a decade, and today is my first home. ”
Tong Luo Puli's voice trembled a little, and Ma Lan drove the horse over, stretched out his long arm and patted her shoulder.
"Sister Pu Li, welcome home!" Brutus said solemnly, and the expressions of the rest of the fellow scouts were no longer as tight as bowstrings.
"What tribe is my sister in now? Why are you with Shuo Fangjun? Brutus asked politely.
"Thank you Brutus for your concern, I am now living in Tingzhou, my husband is the general of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, and Captain Lifei is a friend of my husband." Tong Luo Puli smiled.
"Sister is amazing!" Brutus praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Why are you patrolling here? Aren't there no enemies at all in the south? Seeing that Brutus had completely relaxed his vigilance, he asked tentatively.
"Well, who knows? This morning, the Khan suddenly summoned all the nobles above the rank of commander to the tent to discuss the government. I heard that there was an argument in the tooth tent for a long time, and then the khan ordered that the scene should be transferred in advance, so that every family could hurry up and pack their bags. At the same time, scouts were also sent to the east, west, and south, and it was strictly forbidden for non-headquarters people to approach. Especially in the south, countless ten-man teams were sent. Brutus said fifteen-ten.
"Not good!" Tong Luo Puli was shocked in her heart: "I'm afraid that the situation that Fei Langjun is most worried about is about to happen, and Absi is thinking about defecting seven or eight times out of ten." ”
Ma Lan and Li Fei Yuanli made eye contact, feeling that the situation was becoming more and more serious. At this moment, they can only hope that they can persuade Arbus to give up the idea of defecting.
"Brutus, stop grinding, take me to the Khan! This matter is related to the life and death of more than 100,000 people of our clan! Tong Luo Puli shouted anxiously.
Brutus hesitated for a moment, but he still chose to trust this
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) a kind and pretty "Sister Puli".
Under Brutus's guidance, the Pegasus entered the camp of the Tongluo Division, where the flying leopard flag was fluttering everywhere. In the ancient Tiele language, the original meaning of "Tongluo" is "leopard". For generations, the Tongluo people have taken the vigorous leopard on the grassland as their totem, and their big silk is painted with a flying leopard with two wings and auspicious clouds.
Before entering the tooth tent of Absi, he glanced at the endless tent and the people who were busy packing up, and felt more cordial at the same time, but also felt a heavy ...... on his shoulders
The careful Ma Lan stared at the Tongluo people who were busy arranging the wooden chops and sheepskins, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Lifei, when I came from Tingzhou, I passed through the Yellow River, and saw that the water was rising, and it was not turbulent. I wonder what is the water level of the Yellow River to the north from here? How many ferry crossings are there? ”
"General Mabe, the camp of Tongluobu is very close to the bend of the river, and it is a few dozen miles to the north or west to reach the riverbank, and there are four or five crossings to cross the river. In late spring, the Yellow River becomes larger, but compared with midsummer, it is quite gentle, and it is enough to cross it with wooden rafts and sheepskin rafts. "Lifei Yuanli is familiar with the geography of the mountains and rivers of Shuofang.
"It seems that Arbus has made up his mind, and it may not be easy to persuade him to change his mind." Ma Lan sighed.
"Let's see if Mrs. Luo can understand it and move it with affection." Li Fei Yuanli didn't have much confidence in his heart: "It's really not good, so I can only rely on the reinforcements of the servant department to delay time." ”
After disarming their weapons and entering the wide tent with Luo Puli, Ma Lan and Li Fei Yuanli, they looked around and saw that the big tent was chaotic and in a mess, and they didn't know whether it was the result of the master's anger or the prelude to escape.
"Meet the Khan!" Glancing at Abs, who was frowning and his face was gloomy, he finally found an open space on the carpet of wax tables and silk, and bowed down.
"I've seen King Bongshin!" Ma Lan and Li Fei Yuanli were neither humble nor arrogant, and they bowed.
"Tong Luo Puli ......" Absi, who was nearly fifty years old, sat on the throne covered with bear skins, stared at Tong Luo Puli for a long time, and then whispered: "I remember that before the migration to the south, there was an orphan girl in the tribe who could sing and dance, named Akuya. She later gave birth to a little girl named Puli. Many people have always wanted to know whose child Akua is, but she doesn't say whether she lives or dies; Someone proposed to give Xiao Puli away to marry her, but she scolded her; Someone used an excuse to make things difficult for her, and she endured it silently. Then the news reached my ears, and I said that she should go, why bother a helpless young mother? ”
Arbus's voice was like a dream, but it set off a storm in the heart of Tong Luo Puli, and countless buried past events were revealed by the wind and rain. Under the two fierce emotional turbulences of pain and longing, Tong Luo Puli bit her lip tightly so that her rapidly beating heart would not accidentally jump out.
Ma Lan had heard his wife briefly talk about her childhood, but she was always vague with Luo Puli and didn't want to talk more. She would rather reminisce about the thrill of being a horse bandit being chased and killed by the Hui cavalry, but she always avoids reminiscing about the Mobei years. After listening to Arbus's whispering, Ma Lu realized how much hardship his wife had tasted back then......
"Later, the despicable and shameless Hui people suddenly turned their faces and attacked our department, and for the continuation of the Tongluo tribe, I had to keep surviving and hurriedly went south. I never saw Akua and her daughter again. Your figure and even face don't look like Akua's, but your eyes shine with the same stubbornness as hers.
Therefore, I would like to believe you and listen to your end. Arbus spread out his hands and showed a gesture of humility.
"Khan, have you decided to return to Mobei?" After calming down, Tong Luo Puli bypassed the word "betrayal".
"Tian Khan wants me to guard the north of Lingzhou to resist the invasion from Mobei, and I am willing to be a Tang eagle dog, staring at the north day and night; Tian Khan ordered me to go to Longyou, and I took 10,000 warriors to Qinghai, and used the bones of thousands of clansmen to help Ge Shuhan capture the stone fort and recover Jiuqu! Since moving south, although he does not dare to say that he has made great achievements, he has also worked hard. But now, Tian Khan actually issued an edict asking me to go to Youzhou. An Lushan is just a Sogdian miscellaneous beard, with a belly of flattery to confuse the heavenly khan, and for a long time have the heart to annex our department, how can I go to death in a daze? A certain wanted to ask Zhang Wei to be the Khan of the Heavens, but who knew that when he sent someone to deliver the edict, he also attached a secret letter, ordering that he must obey the edict and not cause trouble to Li Xiangguo! Abs was full of resentment.
Li Fei Yuanli bowed his head and was silent, he knew exactly who Zhang Wei was. Otherwise, how could Zhang Wei, who had never had experience in leading troops, be able to defeat Deputy Envoy Li, who had the highest prestige and the most seniority, and gain the power to know the future affairs?
As a general of the North Court, Ma Lan couldn't guess why Li Linfu, who was at the top of the temple, made such a choice, he was just worried about how Wang Fei would reverse the predicament in Chang'an.
"Khan, although Mobei is vast, except for the bitter cold land in the far northwest, it has been fully owned by Hui. How should we gain a foothold in the north? Seeing that Abs was going north by default, Tong Luo Puli reminded him politely.
"After more than ten years of moving south, our department has been able to thrive with peace of mind, and the armor and leather of the soldiers and horses are sharper than before. Although Hui is strong, Tongluo can finally find a piece of land for grazing cattle and sheep in Mobei! Arbus roared with his fist, not sure if he was trying to show his strength to his peers or if he was trying to anesthetize himself.
"Can the Khan wait a few days? Wang Fei, the son of the capital protector of the Beiting king, is trying to mediate in Chang'an, and there may be a turnaround in the near future. Tong Luo Puli tried her best to say her advice calmly.
"Wang Fei?" Abs pondered for a moment, then laughed wildly, "But the proprietor of Suyeju? He is just a young man who has just entered the middle school, a Hanlin bachelor who doesn't know swordsmanship, how can he turn things around? ”
"Khan, although Fei Langjun is not very old, he has been on the battlefield. Anxi and Beiting went west to conquer Shiguo and encountered more than 100,000 black-clothed elite soldiers. When the Beiting Army was trapped in Talas and the Anxi Army was under siege, the one who changed the situation of the battle while talking and laughing was none other than Fei Langjun! Since entering Beijing, Fei Langjun has also shined, often with amazing moves. Why didn't the khan delay for a few days in the name of packing up. If the situation is the same in a few days, it's not too late to go. Tong Luo Puli persuaded hard.
"Are the rumors true?" Absi heard the story of Prince Ye Hu and Wang Fei working together to turn the tide of the battle in Talas, but he thought that it was Ye Hu's intention, which was inevitably a little exaggerated.
"Fengxin Wang, before a certain departure, Deputy Envoy Li specially entrusted me to pass the word, and he will try his best to buy time for Tongluobu." Seeing that Absi was a little shaken, Li Fei Yuanli hurriedly interjected.
"Deputy Envoy Li's words are trustworthy!" Abs pondered for a long time before raising his right hand and solemnly saying, "Three days! You can only wait for three days. After three days, if the situation does not improve, the Tongluo tribe can only pull out the camp and go north. Anyone who dares to stop him is the enemy of the Tongluo people! ”
