Li Hongding was fighting fiercely in his heart at this time, but he still said coldly: "Lord Liang, let you talk wildly, but Zhao Ziliang is a general of the imperial court, and Ashina Xin is a ten-surnamed Khan of the imperial court, attacking them is tantamount to rebellion, once the news leaks, the whole family of this official will not be protected, why do you think that this official will promise you to do this kind of thing?" Lord Liang, please go back, this official hasn't seen you today! ”

Liang Wenzhao didn't move, but smiled: "Aren't you afraid of Zhao Ziliang?" ”

Li Hongding was furious, but he still held back and said with a smile: "Lord Liang, don't provoke the official, the official doesn't eat that!" Li Gao, send Lord Liang out for the official."

The general standing next to him said to Liang Wenzhao: "Lord Liang, please!" ”

Liang Wenzhao still didn't move, looked at Li Hongding and said, "Yangzhou Thorn History!" ”

Li Hongding was stunned, "What does Lord Liang mean?" ”

Liang Wenzhao said with a smile: "After doing this, Li Xiang promised to transfer the adult out, and then serve as the assassin of Yangzhou!" Although it is a flat tone, but, Lord Li, Yangzhou is a rich place in the world, and how many states in the entire Tang Dynasty have Yangzhou wealth? As long as the adult finishes this, the position of Yangzhou Thorn History will be Lord Li's, and with Li Xiang as a backer in the future, Lord Li can go all the way! Besides, the three of us know about this matter, as long as the three of us don't say it, who will know that Master Li did it? In addition, if you can get rid of Zhao Ziliang, Lord Li can also get out of the evil breath in his heart, this is killing three birds with one stone! ”

The position of Yangzhou Thorn is extremely attractive, but ・・・・・・ Zhao Ziliang is really powerful, invincible on the battlefield, no one is his opponent, it is not easy to deal with, what if he misses? If you agree to this, you will stake all your lives.

Seeing that Li Hongding was still hesitant, Liang Wenzhao quickly understood his concerns, and immediately said: "Xiaguan understands Lord Li's concerns, and the adults are nothing more than worried that Zhao Ziliang is brave and invincible, but Xiaguan also said just now that after Zhao Ziliang and them entered Mohe Yanmoi, Xiaguan arranged that the inner line in his army would find a way to burn all his grain and grass and let them starve in the desert for a few days, as the saying goes, 'people are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic', if you don't eat for a few days, even if he Zhao Ziliang is a god in the world, he will be hungry and dizzy, You don't have any strength, right? At that time, Lord Li will do it again, wouldn't it be effortless? ”

These words can be said to have made Li Hongding very angry, and he was originally a little worried, but at this time Li Hongding had no worries about this at all, and he immediately said: "Okay, as long as Lord Liang's men burn Zhao Ziliang's grain and grass, Li will do it!" ”

Liang Wenzhao said again: "Master Li, then we have to hurry up and set off."

"Lord Liang rest assured, give this official a day to prepare, Lord Liang can rest here today, Li Gao, prepare an upper room for Lord Liang, so that you can entertain you!"

"No!" Li Gao agreed and said to Liang Wenzhao: "Lord Liang, please come with me!" ”

After Liang Wenzhao left, Li Hongding looked at the letter again, and he sneered in his heart: "Hmph, Li Linfu, this old thing is really cunning, the letter does not mention this matter, only says to let the officials along the way help one or two, in case this matter is messed up and the news leaks out, Li Linfu This old thing can be said to be completely unaware, it is Liang Wenzhao who made the decision privately and stole the seal, and then pushed Liang Wenzhao and him out as a substitute for the dead ghost, and he Li Linfu can completely stay out of the matter!" ”

Li Linfu thought about it again, so that this matter can be done, just as Liang Wenzhao said, not only got rid of Zhao Ziliang, but also got out of the evil breath in his heart, this is the first; second, to obtain the position of Yangzhou Assassin History, Yangzhou is a rare rich place in the world, and being an official in that place must be a lot of money; Third, since then, he has climbed the big tree of Li Linfu, and since then, the official road has risen to the top. How to choose? It's done, it's rare to fight a few times in life!

・・・・・・

Eight hundred miles of Mohe Yan moraine, Zhao Ziliang has not walked, he used to return to Chang'an from Anxi, took the road of the Red River and the Peacock River, the horror of the eight hundred miles of Mohe Yan Moraine He has also heard others say, but now this season can only take this road, the two roads in the south can not go, it is too hot, no one can pass through the Tulun moraine (that is, the great desert of the Tarim Basin) in this season, it will be dried by the sun.

Since Zhao Ziliang was going to take this road, he couldn't be unprepared, he found a guide and prepared enough food and drinking water, in addition to the food and drinking water on the surface, his wrench space also contained enough food and drinking water for more than a thousand people to pass through Mohe Yanmoi.

On the first day of entering the 800-mile Mohe Yanmoi, Zhao Ziliang and the Tang Army officers and soldiers under his command experienced the horror of the 800-mile Mohe Yanmo, the sky was originally clear, it can be said that it was a clear sky, and suddenly a black cloud quickly drifted from the sky, Zhao Ziliang and the soldiers under his command thought it was going to rain, and they cheered excitedly, you must know that it has been almost two months, and it has never rained along the way, and now it is about to rain heavily, which is really cool.

But the next moment, Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers were shocked, and it was not rain that fell from the sky, but terrifying hailstones, the small ones were the size of eggs, and the big ones were the size of two fists.

A hailstorm fell, the soldiers of the Tang Army were smashed down one after another, one by one screamed again and again, hundreds of war horses captured a few days ago were scared away, and there were many other don't be killed and injured, the banner and Daxu fell to the ground, and even the roof of the carriage where Princess Jiaohe was sitting was smashed several holes, one of the two maids was smashed to the point that her brain was splashed, and the other was injured in order to protect Princess Jiaohe.

This hailstorm came suddenly, leaving Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers with no place to hide, but fortunately, Zhao Ziliang reacted quickly and ordered everyone to huddle on the ground with their heads in their hands, so as to reduce the damage of the hail to the human body.

A few minutes later, the hail stopped, and Zhao Ziliang stood up with the pain on his body and shouted to the battalions, regiments, and teams to count the number of people and losses.

Soon after, Brehan came to report: "General, sixty-five were killed by hailstones on the spot, twenty-two were seriously wounded, and they are already unconscious, and in the present situation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live, and there are seventy-five others who have been slightly injured, and the problem is not great, but some people are unable to walk!" ”

Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but feel bitter when he heard this, man-made disasters are not terrible, terrible are natural disasters, natural disasters that manpower can't resist, and there is nothing to be done!

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Bury the bones of the soldiers who were stoned to death, let the army Zhonglang hurry up to treat the wounded, and camp here today!" ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang walked around every corner of the neighborhood again, comforted the soldiers, and then came to the carriage where Princess Jiaohe was riding, only to see that several big holes had been smashed out of the roof of the carriage, the head of a maid was smashed and dented, and the body was lying on the sand next to the carriage, and the other maid had a white gauze wrapped around her head and hummed on the wheels of the carriage on the left side of the carriage, and Princess Li of Jiaohe was comforted by Ash Naxin with a frightened face.

Zhao Ziliang stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Khan, princess, frightened, natural and man-made disasters, unpredictable, let's mourn and change!" ”

Ashina Xin hurriedly said: "Thank you for your concern, I'll be fine!" ”

When Princess Jiaohe saw Zhao Ziliang coming, her heart was also a lot calmer, and she hurriedly made a blessing and said: "The slave family is fine, the general can only rest assured that he will lead the soldiers and horses, and my husband and I will never drag the general down."

The original Princess Jiaohe is Ashinaxin's sister, and now Princess Jiaohe is Ashinaxin's wife, and the Li family is also the Li Tang clan, but the blood relationship is not very close, far inferior to Princess Jincheng. In Zhao Ziliang's opinion, the relationship between the Li family and Ash Naxin should be very good, but this has nothing to do with him.

The next morning, that is, on the ninth day of the eighth month, the twenty-two soldiers who were seriously injured by the hail yesterday were not treated in time, and the injuries occurred during the night, and twenty people died, only two survived, and the lightly wounded could advance on horseback, anyway, a large number of horses were captured a few days ago, but the two seriously wounded could not ride horses, and because they could slow down the march of the army, they could only tie them to stretchers, and then drag them on horses.

On the eighth day of entering Mohe Yanmoi, on August 12, Zhao Ziliang and his subordinates escorted Ashina Xin and his party into the center of Moheyan Moraine, and it was impossible to return, after all, they had already walked halfway, under the guidance of the guide, the whole team had avoided many dangerous areas, but they were still attacked by hail and the care of the wind and sand, and they lost nearly 200 people twice, and they were attacked by a large number of insects and ants when they camped at night many times, and the bitten people were poisoned and swollen, and fifty or sixty people died in less than a day.

On August 13, the army was in big trouble again, and at about five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Ziliang was leading the army to brave the scorching sunset on the sand, and there was no green for many days along the way, not even a small green tree, only some dry plants that did not know what their names were.

At this time, the wind suddenly rose, it was a northwest wind, it was particularly cool, the soldiers took a deep breath, raised their heads and groaned a few times, don't blow such a cool breeze, even if there is meat to eat, they are afraid at this time and can't take care of it.

"General, it's not good, it's the desert devil, it's the desert devil!" The guide pointed northwest and shouted.

Zhao Ziliang looked up when he heard this, his face changed, and he immediately picked up the telescope and looked in the northwest direction, the sky in the northwest direction had turned gray, and a large amount of yellow sand was swept up into the sky by the storm, and the yellow sand changed into a terrible face under the action of the wind, isn't it just a devil's face? No wonder this guide is called the Devil of the Desert.

At this time, this terrible devil face that was lifted into the sky by the wind was sweeping towards the army at a very fast speed, this is a desert storm, such a desert storm is extremely destructive, people and tents are simply untenable, as long as this desert storm arrives, any tent will be immediately swept into the sky, where it will fly, probably only God knows.

Zhao Ziliang's face changed greatly, put down the binoculars and shouted: "The storm is coming, everyone inserts their weapons into the sand, the deeper the better, and then tie each other with ropes, hold the weapons with both hands and keep them, Brehan, quickly send someone to drive all the livestock together!" ”

"Yes, General!" (To be continued.) )
