Chapter 87: What is the Importance of Love and Power?
At midnight, the stars twinkle. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the grassland in the northern part of Shuofang Lingzhou, a fire dragon and an arc of fire moon silently confronted each other more than a stone's throw away. Illuminated by the light of stars and fire, thousands of cavalrymen armed with mounted bows, led but did not fire.
"Party item?" Under the protection of the guards, the leader of the Tongluo tribe, Absi, urged his horse to the front of the formation: "Is the Tuoba Governor ahead?" Why did your ministry block the way? ”
"I'm sorry to believe in the king, the governor of Tuoba is still in Gyeongju, and the one who is in the way is down." A bald samurai, nearly fifty years old, rode out of the array of party headquarters.
"You are?" Arbus stared at the visitor for a long time, but did not recognize who the other person was.
Both the Tongluo Department and the Party Department were under the jurisdiction of the Shuofang Jiedu Envoy, and Absi was very familiar with the leader of the Party Department, Tuoba Shoujing, and the heads of the Party Items. Although the other party was dressed as a party member, Arbus had never seen him.
The horse's hooves are flying, and the bells are crisp.
"Father-in-law!" Tong Luo Puli jumped down from the snow ink and hugged the bald warrior tightly. Ma Lan followed, bowing his bow to his wife's side.
"Good daughter, it's not too late to come for your father." Hosohiro laughed.
"Father-in-law, where did you get the army from?" Tong Luo Puli stared at the solemn party light horse, full of curiosity.
"Brother, come and see Pu Li." With a wave of his hand, a jujube red horse jumped out of the party army, and immediately rode a warrior in iron armor, whose appearance was similar to that of Xifengye, but a few years younger.
"I've seen ......," Tong Luo Puli hesitated.
"A certain is the head of the fine seal department, and the same Luo lady will call the head of the fine seal family." The ironclad samurai reported his home.
"I've seen the head of the fine seal family." Bowed with Luo Puli.
"Brother, you have taken in a good daughter, no wonder you don't want to go home!" Xi Fengze dismounted and returned the salute, and looked at Luo Puli for a long time before smiling at his brother.
"Fine Fengze!" Abs finally understood who was stopping him: "Why did you send troops to stop me? Is the love of us going to Longyou together gone? ”
"King Fengxin, do you know where it is a few dozen miles further west?" Fine Fengze did not answer the rhetorical question.
"Of course I know, there is the Yellow River ahead." Arbus sneered.
"Believe in the king, after crossing the great river, it will no longer be the boundary of Shuofang. As the deputy envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, you led your troops to leave the jurisdiction, but do you have the edict of the Heavenly Khan? Is there a warrant to know what to do? "Fine Fengze's words are like knives.
"The edict of the Khan of a certain day!" Abs took the edict from the guards and held it high.
"Don't lie to me, King of Faith. Tian Khan's edict is to let you go to Youzhou, not to let you go west to Liangzhou. Xi Fengze said sarcastically.
When Abs and Xifengze exchanged lips, he and Luo Puli came to his father-in-law and asked in a low voice, "Father-in-law, are you really the brother of the head of the Xifeng family?" But why do you want to be a horse bandit? ”
"Silly boy." Xi Fengye smiled bitterly, pointed at his younger brother and said, "Can't you see that my face is very similar to his?" Something happened more than 20 years ago, and I don't like to be constrained by my power or duties, so I choose to leave my family and become a horse bandit who walks freely between heaven and earth. ”
"Free ......and easy" Thinking of her mother's blessing to herself, Luo Puli smiled sadly, and asked instead, "Father-in-law, why are you here?"

Place? ”
"That's a coincidence." Hosofengye briefly explained: "You have been away from Tongluobu for too long, and you don't know enough about Absi. Although this person is good at leading troops in battle, his temperament is very weak and he cannot bear the heavy pressure. Worried that he would flee in advance and instigate a rebellion with Luobu, he hurried to find someone to help you. It happened that the fine seal was transferred to the north of Lingzhou, and a certain discussed with his brother, went around a big circle from the west, and quietly lurked in the north of Tongluobu. Arbus ran faster than a rabbit, and we caught him. ”
"Father-in-law, did you go to ask for the head of the family for the sake of your daughter? Why should he listen to you? Transferring troops without permission is a big crime! Tong Luo Puli was so anxious that she almost cried.
What Xi Fengye said was an understatement, but Luo Puli guessed that things were by no means so simple. In the absence of a military order from Shuo Fangjiedu, he privately dispatched nearly 10,000 cavalry from his headquarters to intercept the Tongluo Division, which can be big or small. If someone with a heart wants to seriously investigate, it is a sin of lawlessness. Although the father-in-law is the elder brother of the head of the fine family, such a high-stakes decision is by no means something that can be covered up by a deep brotherhood.
"It's not a begging. For more than 20 years, he owes me too many favors, and he is restless day and night. After tonight, he can finally sleep peacefully......" A hint of sadness flashed on Hoshino's face.
"Father-in-law!" Under the brilliant starlight, tears flickered with Luo Puli. She didn't know how Xi Fengye persuaded Xi Fengze to send troops, but she deeply understood how much sacrifice her father-in-law had made for her.
"Silly daughter, he owes me, don't think about it." The fine seal pretended to laugh.
Ma Luan, who was guarding the side, listened to the conversation between the two word for word, and he secretly sighed: "Even if it's his biological father, it's just like that......"
"Xi Fengze, do we have to meet tonight?" Seeing that the fine seal was not entering, Absi reprimanded sharply: "Don't forget, your fine seal department is full of more than 10,000 cavalry, how can you compete with a certain one?" ”
"Believe in the king, although the fine seal department is outnumbered, it can stop you all night. Before sending troops, a certain had already sent light cavalry to Lingzhou City to inform Deputy Envoy Zhang and Deputy Envoy Li of the news that you wanted to cross the Yellow River in the west. Do you think that after tonight, Tongluo will be able to leave Lingzhou smoothly? Xi Fengze's answer was false and real, and he was not afraid of Arbus's threat at all.
"Bastard! Look at a certain flat fine seal! Arbus roared and drew the scimitar from his waist.
The commanders and commanders of the Tongluo Department also waved their swords one after another, ordering their subordinates to meet the enemy. The light cavalry of the party department clenched the horn bow in his hand and aimed it at the dense crowd of men and horses in front.
"Absi Khan, you promised well at dusk, and you are willing to wait for three days, why do you turn your face and change your hexagram?" Hearing the sound of the long knife unsheathed, Tong Luo Puli flew on his horse and came to the front of the two armies that might clash at any time.
Seeing this, Ma Lan and Li Fei Yuanli hurriedly urged the horse out and protected Luo Puli.
"Pu Li Niangzi, a certain person who bears the life and death of more than 100,000 people in the whole clan, how can he pin his hope on an ethereal promise." Abs finally spoke his heart.
"Absi Khan, I have nothing to say before you believe it or not. But how can you go back on your word? Tong Luo Puli said angrily.
"You have reported thousands of miles away, and you are worried about the same Luo Department. I can't bear to hit your hot pillow. Arbus replied lightly.
"Damn!" With Luo Puli's silver teeth, he bit his lips and was angry

Trembling all over: "Absi, do you really want to bring Tongluobu into a place of no return?" I don't know exactly where you plan to move westward, but I am convinced that if you can't go to Tingzhou, you will be pursued and intercepted by the Shuofang army and the Hui tribe, and you will definitely be defeated! As a khan, you may be able to escape again and again, but what about the rest of your clan? ”
"Pu Li Niangzi, if there is no will to change the course of the court after three days, Tongluo will be forced to move to Youzhou by the Shuo Fang army, and will eventually be eaten alive by An Lushan. Do you dare to bear such serious consequences? Arbus asked coldly.
"Huh?!" In the face of Arbus's rebuke, Tong Luo Puli was also a little speechless for a while. Out of her trust in Wang Fei and her concern for the future of her mother's family, she worked tirelessly, and in accordance with the strategy she had formulated in advance, she urged Abs to be calm and not to act rashly. However, if Wang Fei failed to persuade the Heavenly Khan, Arbus's choice might really be able to reserve a little seed for the Tongluo tribe.
"King Fengxin, you keep saying that you are marching west overnight for more than 100,000 Tongluo people. But in a certain opinion, you are just a selfish and cowardly person! Seeing that Tong Luo Puli was confused, Ma Lan stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"General Ma Bei, you are the general of the Beiting Army, why do you meddle in Shuofang's military affairs?" Abs rebuked.
"Fengxin Wang, a certain person is not blocking you as a general of the Northern Court, but questioning you as half of the Tongluo clan." Ma Lan shouted angrily: "You can't wait to flee westward, and the excuse you are looking for is extravagant and public-minded, but to put it bluntly, aren't you reluctant to give up your power and status?" Three days later, even if the worst happens, the Tongluo tribe moves to Youzhou, and An Lushan will let the vast majority of the Tongluo tribe live in order to recruit generals. But at that time, you will either be killed, or you will be completely hollowed out by An Lushan. You are afraid of such a result, so you will not hesitate to defect with more than 100,000 people, and would rather let your clansmen accompany you to the funeral than preserve your power. If you really think of the whole clan, after receiving the edict, why don't you go to Lingzhou to persuade Deputy Envoy Zhang to go to the top? If Deputy Envoy Zhang doesn't agree, do you dare to play the court alone? If you really care about the life and death of your people, why don't you dare to wait for two or three days, but rush to drag them into the point of no return of betrayal? ”
"Presumptuous!" Arbus was told that his mind was exhausted, and his muscles were bruised and his eyes were red.
"I see!" The knot in Tong Luo Puli's heart was resolved by Ma Lu, and the stagnation in his chest was swept away: "Absi, you didn't dare to deal with Hui Hui's sneak attack back then, and it was difficult to escape in a hurry, and it was also for your own power!" ”
"Brother Ma said it well!" Li Fei Yuanli clapped his hands and sighed: "A certain person was a tooth soldier by the side of the marshal back then, and he never understood why the marshal would resist the will of the saint and delay the attack on the stone fort. Later, he saw Ge Shuhan forcing more than 30,000 soldiers to death as an official lord, and he really realized the handsome's high style and bodhisattva heart. In order to ensure that his soldiers are not sent to death in vain, the marshal would rather be framed by traitors and belittled by saints, and have no regrets. Arbus, you have also experienced the hard battle of the Stone Castle, calm down and think about it, what is the difference between what you did and Goshuhan?! ”
Speaking of emotion, Li Fei Yuanli burst into tears. Xi Fengze recalled the ill-fated Wang Zhonghei, and couldn't help but sigh.
The Tongluo cavalry and the party soldiers who confronted each other with bows at night had all participated in the bitter battles of the year, and the overlapping corpses covering the Chiling Mountains were a nightmare that countless people did not dare to face. They couldn't help but feel turbulent when they heard Li Fei Yuanli talk about Wang Zhongsi and the battle between Shibao.
