Chapter 1396: The World Is Unpredictable (Part II)
After getting rid of his father, Lu Mang stood in place for a long time, Mu Ran swept over the guards with steel crossbows around him, and said calmly for a long time: "Take this place more than once, disguise it as a Tang assassin." ”
"Yes!" None of the guards dared to look at him, and they all bowed their heads.
Killing the father, even in the nomadic people with few rules, is an unacceptable thing, here the son can inherit the father's woman, the younger brother can inherit the elder brother's woman, but the father's murder is the same as the Central Plains, it will be despised!
Standing in the middle of the crowd, he felt the inexplicable pressure, snorted lightly, lifted the curtain of the tooth tent and walked out, intending to go outside to breathe.
But when he walked outside the tent, he was immediately startled by what he saw, and the magnanimity and Bazhuo just mentioned were standing not far away, looking at him coldly.
"Trolling, where is Father Khan? What are you trying to do with your tent? Bazhuo was younger, and when he saw Lu Mang coming out, he couldn't help but ask urgently.
"What? Someone stabbed my father after I went out, and you were so close to the tent that you didn't find it? Now that my father Khan has died, he has come to ask me?! There was an angry expression on his face, and he looked like a thief shouting to catch a thief.
The originally quiet scene of "......" instantly had a trace of chaos, and countless people looked at the recklessness in surprise, and various emotions of doubt, suspicion, and anger filled the sky and the earth.
"Shut up!" Dadu waved his hand expressionlessly, looked at Lu Mang coldly and asked, "What did you just say?" How dare you say it again? ”
The men on the grassland have always been accustomed to going straight, saying one thing and saying another, even if there are any conspiracies and tricks, they will not be like those Han people in the Central Plains.
So in a few words, things have become clear, and as soon as Dang Mang is sure again, there will be a bloody battle immediately.
And it was at this time that there was a messy sound of horses' hooves outside the crowd of confrontations, and Cui Ma, a scout dressed person, crossed the crowd: "Several princes, there are two thousand men and horses of the Tang Western Regions Legion outside, and they want us to hand over the robbers who robbed the property." ”
What's going on? Dadu set up a suspicious glance with the scorching fox, and then turned his gaze to the reckless.
Among these people present, only Lu Mang had just returned from outside, and after he came back, his subordinates had countless Datang's standard steel crossbows in their hands.
"See what I do? Those Tang people came to meet those assassins, and it was all an excuse to ask for bandits. "Lu Mang's own family knows their own affairs, and they know that the Tang Army outside is looking for them, but they are labeled assassins.
But Dadu and Bazhuo are not fools, they will not listen to his side of the story, and the current situation is indeed a bit complicated, and they also need some time to think about what to do next.
So after a short hesitation, an order was issued for the Tang army generals who came to ask for help to bring ten personal guards to come in and talk in detail.
Zhenzhu Yinan is dead, the Xue Yantuo Khanate has no leader, the cause of the Khan's death is important, but who will be the next Khan is even more important.
The current strength of the three of them is comparable, and the recklessness with the standard steel crossbow in hand even has the upper hand, which is a situation that the other two do not want to see.
Under such circumstances, the elite of the two thousand Tang Western Regions Legion has almost become a weight that overwhelms either side, and if they can win their support, it is only a snap of a finger to exterminate the reckless. Even if you can't get their support, tricking their master into the camp and controlling it will be beneficial to Dadu and Bazhuo.
It was under such circumstances that Dadu decided to invite Yu Chi Baolin and Xi Jun to buy in, and at the same time only let them bring ten personal guards.
But Dadu overestimated himself, and when his order was conveyed to the outside, the two thousand Tang troops did not act according to his order, but under Xi Er's order, the sword and arrow were unsheathed, and the murderous spirit pressed towards the Xue Yantuo people who were waiting for him.
At this moment, Xue Yantuo was completely stunned, seeing that the Tang army was getting closer and closer to them, but he didn't know how to deal with it.
They gathered here because they got the news of the rebellion, and the main general had already gone to the tent to listen to the news, leaving behind some marginal people who were outside the center of power and 'not allowed to smoke', and had no power to decide whether to start a war with the Tang army.
It was too late to send someone to ask for instructions, and it was obviously unwise to start a war with the Tang army, so in desperation, the Xue Yantuo people chose to retreat, and tens of thousands of people continued to retreat under the persecution of 2,000 people.
One step, two steps, the farther and farther you go.
However, they retreated because they did not want to fight the Tang army, but the people in the inner circle did not know the situation outside, and as the outsiders continued to pour inward, some riots inevitably occurred.
And it is precisely because of this little riot that a series of immeasurable chain reactions have been triggered.
……
In Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, in the main hall of the East Palace, Li Chengqian, who was discussing the issue of the military academy with a few old guys, was disturbed by a noisy argument.
"Go see what's going on!" Li Chengqian, who was interrupted from speaking, looked unhappy, turned his head and said to Yang Yuxin.
"Yes!" In response, Yang Yuxin opened the door and walked out.
"Who's making a fuss here?"
"Miss Xiaoyu, the minister has something important to report to His Highness, please report it." Yang Yuxin's appearance stopped the quarrel outside, and Cui Yu shook off the holding Jinwu who was entangled with him, and said with a fist.
"His Royal Highness is discussing things with several princes, if Cui Fujun doesn't wait for a while, okay?" As Li Chengqian's personal female officer, Miss Xiaoyu naturally knew who was far and near, and when she saw that it was Cui Yu, her tense pretty face eased a little.
"The stakes are very high, Miss Xiaoyu should give it a shout!" Cui Yu's head was full of sweat, looking at Yang Yuxin's eyes full of stubbornness and persistence, it seemed that she would continue to make trouble if she didn't report.
Yang Yuxin hesitated for a moment, feeling that Cui Yu didn't seem to be the kind of person who made something out of nothing, and finally nodded and said, "You wait a minute, I'll report to you, but I can't decide whether Your Highness sees you or not." ”
"Thank you, Miss Xiaoyu, but I hope to talk to His Highness alone." Thinking of the amazing news he had just gotten, Cui Yu had to bite the bullet and continue.
"Wait!" Yang Yuxin didn't say anything more, turned around and returned to the study, and closed the door with a bang.
……
After a while, the door of the study opened again, and Li Chengqian walked out accompanied by Ye Mei: "Old Cui, why are you in such a hurry, you can't even wait for a moment and a half?" ”
"Your Highness, something is wrong." Cui Yu glanced around, and saw that there were no eyesore around him, so he lowered his voice and said urgently.
"What's wrong?" Li Chengqian was a little confused.
Recently, except for Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu who are looking for trouble everywhere around Chang'an, there doesn't seem to be anything special, and now Cui Yu is so urgent, could it be that these two goods have been killed?
However, Li Chengqian's speculation did not come true, and Cui Yu did not give him time to continue guessing, and said bluntly: "Xue Yantuo Zhenzhu Viga Khan is dead!" ”
"Who?" Hearing this unfamiliar name, Li Chengqian frowned.
"It's Zhenzhu Yinan, the Khan of Xue Yanta Viga personally crowned by His Majesty!" Cui Yu added.
After listening to Cui Yu's explanation, Li Chengqian matched his name with the person, and said with a sigh: "How did the old man die?" Didn't you send people to Chang'an to pay tribute some time ago? ”
"Killed by our men!"
"Ahem......" Cui Yu's answer made Li Chengqian not come up in one breath, he coughed half to death directly, and looked at Lao Cui with strange eyes: "What do we mean?" The people of Datang are still ......".
"It's our people, the Western Regions Legion!" Cui Yu didn't wait for Li Chengqian to finish speaking, and then took over the conversation.
"What a calf, the Western Regions Legion has only sent out a total of 2,000 people, how can you kill that true pearl? Don't lie about the military. "Li Chengqian would never believe that Yu Chi Baolin and Xi Erjing could lead two thousand people into the hinterland of Xue Yantuo's people and kill Zhenzhu Yinan in his tooth tent.
"At least that's how the news spread in Mobei, but right now there are already people in Mobei who have dog brains, and it no longer matters whether our people did it." Cui Yu lowered his voice again: "But Zhenzhu Yinan is indeed dead, and his guards are all dead under the triangular arrow." ”
"It can't be, something must be wrong." Li Chengqian shook his head, negated Cui Yu's judgment, and asked again, "What now?" Now where are they? Have you found the lost steel crossbows? ”
"I found it, all of them are in Xue Yantuo's department, so it can be seen that they must have robbed it. As for General Wei Chi, they ...... that they are currently fighting against the Xue Yantuo people on the grassland. "Cui Yu is the judge of the underworld in the end, and he can grasp a lot of first-hand information. But because he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could only deduce the truth of the matter based on some rumors.
Li Chengqian glanced back at his study, and made a choice in his mind: "Old Cui, you will go back and continue to keep an eye on this matter in a while, you must find out the cause of Zhenzhu Yinan's death, and also find out who is the mastermind behind this incident, whether there is a result or not, you have to come back tonight." ”
"Yes!" After Cui Yu told Li Chengqian everything he knew, he seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of burden, and turned around and left after receiving the order.
And Li Chengqian returned to his study again with the night charm, sat down at the oval-shaped conference table, looked at Hou Junji, Chai Shao, Li Jing and others and said with a smile: "The people below are not sensible, and they will make a fuss when they encounter a little problem, and I hope that the uncles will not be blamed if they delay some time!" ”
