Chapter 578: Night Theory (Part II)
"Tell me about Shache and Shule? How far is it from Khotan? ”
The figure above the throne put down the jade cup, leaned back in the chair, and the momentum of his gestures made Wei Chi Li'an, a king who had rarely experienced war, feel almost out of breath when he knelt on the ground.
"Recently, about 400 miles or so, the king's name is Suliya Poxi, his temperament is unruly, bad, and he often attacks various countries with strong troops, and the governor comes with the heavenly soldiers of Shangbang, hoping to kill this person and return peace to my Western Regions."
Dian Weiyao slammed the table, which frightened Wei Chi Li'an, and heard the vicious voice as if it exploded in his ears: "All the, just say how many of them there are, just convince me of the big man!" ”
"With more than 40,000 soldiers, he is used to being arrogant, and he is very obedient ...... if he is not ....."
"Then hit the fuck!" Dian Weihao stood up suddenly.
In the first place, Gongsun Zhi stretched out his hand and pressed him, and then the giant man stopped talking, sat back, and whispered a few words to Zhang Fei behind him, Gongsun Zhi gestured to the kneeling figure below: "You continue." ”
"Yes, back to the governor of Shangbang, Shule country is located in the northwest of Shache, more than 30,000 households, the people are about 60,000 or 70,000 people, with 20,000 soldiers, just below the green ridge, the national capital Panzhu City, the king is full, Ban Dingyuan was resident in Shule country, only to be majestic in the Western Regions, the whole country admires the Han Dynasty a lot."
"What are the two countries like now?"
"Last month, the country of Shache was still attacking Shule, and now it should be fighting, I heard that Suliya Poxi personally led 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack, and Qiuzi also sent troops to help." Wei Chi Li'an didn't dare to raise his head, still kneeling there, and then heard the words from above.
"Looks like it's pretty much clear."
Coming to the Western Regions, in fact, his eyes are basically black, Gongsun Zhi also read a few documents about the Western Regions on the road, and talked to Ma Chao about some information that the other party knows, like several small countries in the Green Mountains, the specific situation is not clear at all, which is why he left the king of Khotan with his life.
Gongsun Zhi got up and walked in front of Yu Chi Li'an, who raised his gaze, and only after such close contact did he feel the oppression brought to him by the other party's tall body. In the shadow of the backlight, the outline of the face was revealed, and the voice sank, "You've done a good job so far, so let's put the head on your neck for the time being." ”
At the same time that the king of Khotan below finally breathed a sigh of relief, Gongsun Zhi turned around and took a step, and walked in everyone's sight with the sound of a clattering of Jia Ye: "Since the country of Khotan has surrendered, it is a subsidiary of my Han Dynasty, and I will temporarily order Xianger on behalf of the capital protectorate, and transfer 5,000 people from Khotan to the baggage camp of the western expeditionary army to assist, and ...... in addition."
He walked back to the throne and turned around sharply, the lights on the table flickered, and his voice rose at this time: "All of them—"
Below, more than a dozen generals roared, all stood up from their seats, Pan Feng hurriedly put down half a leg of mutton, wiped his greasy lips, and then stood up, looking at the lord in white velvet armor in front of the throne with a solemn face, when his majestic gaze swept over, he collected his stomach and stood straight in the crowd.
"The caravan behind will not wait, the fighter plane is fleeting, let them walk slowly behind, but the rear camp must keep up, early tomorrow morning, immediately pull out the camp to the west, in addition, pass my order, let the three cavalry of the Yache country directly bypass the city of Shache country, and directly attack the back of the army of Suriya Poxi, two days later, I will see others with their heads hanging on the flagpole."
"Yes!"
"Go down and prepare—"
The generals of the various armies walked out of the palace one after another, and the stars were already shining outside, and some of the tones about going west were implemented, so there was no need to continue to stay in the city, and they discussed the strange countries west of the green ridge with their familiar companions, and gradually dispersed, and then rode to the military camp outside the city.
And Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhi discussed in the palace for a while, before they came out with the other party, the girl who had been waiting for a long time was not in awe of the legendary white wolf king, after all, her father was also very powerful. After separating outside the hall, Lu Lingqi turned over and got on the horse: "Daddy, is there another battle?" ”
"For the sake of the father, it is still the same sentence, this kind of war is not worthy of us to go up in person."
"Daddy..... daughter heard it outside just now, a woman called a woman, it seems to be ......." On horseback, the girl pinched her small fist and raised it on her father's side, and before she finished her excited words, the sound of horses' hooves behind her was getting closer, and among several cavalrymen, the burly figure holding a snake spear looked back and muttered: "The daughter's family should stay at home and be a female celebrity, the battlefield is a man's business." ”
In the darkness here, the plain white palm slammed the reins, the sound of horses' hooves stopped abruptly, and the pretty face was slightly cold: "Ring-eyed thief!" Say it again! ”
"I said women should ......"
"Presumptuous—"
A loud shout shook the street, and the lights that were still on in the house were quickly blown out by a figure inside, and the whole street was completely darkened, only a few torches were clearly extinguished in the wind, shining on an expressionless face, Lu Bu carried a halberd towards the other party, and even the figure of the mount was elongated in the firelight.
Several Cao generals on the opposite side had their hair standing on end, they were all from the military, they had killed people, and they were naturally sensitive to murderous aura, but Zhang Fei was not afraid, and urged the horse to meet the other party, and there was a voice in his mouth: "The three surnames are ......"
However, when the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly thought of something, swallowed it back, and stared directly at Lu Bu with his eyes: "...... almost scolded you, Gongsun Dudu said that there should be no chaos in the army, otherwise you will be beheaded to show the public, and this time it will be forgotten." With a few swings of his hand, he turned his horse's head over to the city gate.
"Zhang Fei!"
After riding a black horse for a few feet, Lu Bu's voice came from behind, and he reined in his horse and turned his head slightly: "What else is going on?" If you want to fight, let's find a place where no one is around! ”
The tip of the halberd hung on the ground, the hundred flower robes were swaying in the wind, the swaying fire light flickered on Lu Bu's face, and he was silent for a while, but he didn't burst out like before, and the previous murderous aura was reined in, just looked at the other party calmly, and then opened his mouth.
“.…… A certain family did do a lot of things in the past, people looked down on, and when the wounds were exposed, they killed people in a rage, and every time I thought about the past over the years, even I felt ridiculous about the wrong things I did back then, if it wasn't for Gongsun Zhi, it would be difficult for a certain family to have the leisure to introspect in a few years, and take a new road out, if you Zhang Yide still think about the battle of Bishui Pass back then, decide the superior, and wait for the war to settle down, I will wait for you. ”
Ahead, Zhang Fei looked at Lu Bu silently, his expression was strange and complicated, and he hesitated for a moment: "...... good!" When the matter of the Western Expedition is over, I will fight with you again in front of the Bishui Pass, regardless of life or death, just win or lose. This time, he said with his hands arched.
"Farewell!"
As if he didn't want to be looked at like this by Lu Bu, Zhang Fei whipped a whip: "Drive!" With a few Cao Qi leaving, Lu Bu also arched his hand, and when the other party disappeared into the darkness, the girl next to him couldn't help but want to speak, and the father over there laughed.
"If it is a march to fight, it is a soldier who surrenders without a fight, Lingqi, you have to learn a little, it will be just a weapon that is wielded, and the commander of an army is the one who wields a weapon."
Lu Lingqi's eyes widened and her mouth opened slightly.
The mighty tiger rode a war horse a few steps with a halberd, and he stopped halfway, turned his mighty body and smiled kindly at his daughter, and stretched out his arms.
"Lingqi, people have to learn to grow, now should be your best chance, to keep up."
In the depths of my memory, it was as if I had returned to the state of Namju, where the sun was setting on the field, and the words of the young father when he carried his young daughter on horseback. Lu Lingqi wiped her wet red eyes, nodded vigorously, and rushed to her father's side with a clip of the horse's belly, walking side by side.
"Dad, my daughter has grown up." She whispered.
……..
In the palace of the king of Khotan, Gongsun Zhi stood under the eaves, looking at the back of the father and daughter leaving, and somewhat remembered his wife and children who were far away in Shanggu County, but standing in this position, there will always be trade-offs in some things.
Behind him, there was the sound of tinkling chains, approaching, above the tattered steps, the figure with iron chains on his ankle and neck came from the side room where the former lieutenant Chi Li'an was waiting to the figure standing with his hands in his hands, and the hoarse voice was dry and squeezed out of his throat.
"Hey....I've seen the Governor."
"Wen He is resourceful, I have a question I want to ask you to teach at the moment."
The gray hair hung down on his face in a messy bun, and the old man even said, "Don't dare." At that time, looking at Gongsun Zhi outside the palace, he turned around, and wanted to find a wolf that had found his prey, and opened his mouth slightly: "I have something to decide, I think you have heard it in the side room, tell me what to do?" ”
Jia Xu's cloudy eyes moved slightly, raised his gaze slightly, and stared at Gongsun Zhi's instep: "Dawan guards the Silk Road, and it is also the road to return from the Western Expedition...... Poison the current King of Dawan, support the pro-Han people, and send a general to garrison. ”
"Okay, it's up to you!"
.........
The next day, the horns of the three armies sounded.
