It is said that the west wind is strong, and the soldiers were blown to the point that their lips were chapped, and the skin on many people's faces was blown to crack.

In order not to reveal their whereabouts, and to keep the soldiers and horses in sufficient physical and mental state, Chu Ge led the soldiers to march day and night according to Zhao Ziliang's instructions.

After three days of marching, Chu Ge and his three hundred cavalry finally arrived at the source of the Diao River near Dundo City at dusk. In the distance, I saw an earthen city on the other side of the river, and outside the earthen city there were three or five shepherds driving herds of cattle and sheep into the city, and there were no soldiers on the city walls.

"Captain, hurry up and cross the river, now cross the river and rush into the city, and take advantage of the night to kill the Turquoise army in Dunduo City!" The lieutenant proposed to Chu Ge.

Chu Ge looked at it, shook his head and said, "Now crossing the river will definitely be discovered by the Turgish, and by the time we rush to the city, the Turgish people will have already locked the city gate." And you see, now the river is too deep, the current is too fast, and it is too dangerous to cross the river now, so we have to wait until after nightfall to cross the river, anyway, the walls of the earthen city are not high, and they are dilapidated, so we will cross the river after dark, and then send a few men to look for a gap where we can enter the city."

In fact, the Tuqi Shi people did not have the tradition and habit of building cities, the towns where the Tuqi Shi people live now were built when the Tang army went west again and again, after the Tang Dynasty forces withdrew from the scope of Broken Leaf Town, the Tuqi Shi people occupied these towns, and the Tuqi Shi people who lived in the towns found that it was much safer to live in the city than to live in the wilderness, so they stayed.

Chu Ge and the others hid in the barren grassland on the other side of the river, resting while eating dry food, and waited until it was dark to slowly cross the river, the river was a little deep and very cold! This water is the snow that flows down after the snow and ice melt on the Tien Shan mountain range.

After dark. As the temperature drops, the snow melts more slowly, so the river begins to retreat and the flow slows down, until late at night the river is just deep enough for the army to cross.

Three hundred cavalry stood by the river. Chu Ge gave an order, and the cavalry in the front row rode their horses and began to cross the river, and no one spoke during the whole crossing process, which was very smooth, and the three hundred people all arrived on the opposite bank in less than half an hour.

Jumping off the war horse, Chu Ge immediately said to the lieutenant: "Immediately send a few clever soldiers to find a gap where they can enter the city, remember, don't ride a horse!" ”

"Understood!"

Under the command of the lieutenant, the figures of the four soldiers quickly disappeared into the night.

Half an hour later. Two of the four pathfinders came back, and one of them said to Chu Ge and the lieutenant, "Captain, we have already connected with our army in the town, and the other two are waiting with him at the gap in the east!" ”

When Chu Ge heard this, he immediately said to the lieutenant: "Order, all set off, lead the horses and walk over, no one is allowed to ride a horse!" ”

"No!"

The earthen wall on the east side is close to the snow-capped mountain, and it is the reason why it has been washed away by snow water all year round. The earthen wall on the east side is very dilapidated and has collapsed in several places. Hosaku and two other soldiers crouched in the first gap.

After seeing Chu Ge, Na Xizuo said, "Meet the general!" ”

Chu Ge waved his hand: "I'm just a captain, not a general!" Let me ask you, do you know how many troops there are in the town and where they are stationed? ”

"You know, there are only two hundred cavalry in the city, and they are all the soldiers of Lord Muzar. These 200 people are stationed in the barracks next to the mansion of Lord Muzar! ”

Chu Ge listened to the words of the careful work, and remembered what Zhao Ziliang said before leaving, "Kill the ruler and all the relatives in his family, distribute his cattle and sheep to the residents and soldiers in the town, and buy their hearts." They will not resist, and they will support us! ”

Thinking of this, Chu Ge immediately said to the lieutenant: "You take fifty people to guard the various exits outside the town, strengthen patrols, and don't let anyone go!" ”

The lieutenant arched his hand and said, "No! ”

Chu Ge pointed to the fine work again and said, "You lead the way to Master Muzar's house for the captain of this school!" ”

"No! Captain, please go with the villain! ”

Chu Ge waved his hand, and after entering the town through the gap, he ordered everyone to ride on their war horses, and under the leadership of Xi Zuo, they quickly arrived at Muzar's mansion.

Two hundred and fifty cavalry ran in a small town, and soon woke up all the Turks in the town, and when all the Turks in the town woke up, Chu Ge had already led his army to surround the mansion of the master Muzar in Dundo City.

"Each of you shall take a hundred men and surround the barracks, and you shall not let one go! The others rushed in with me! Chu Ge pulled out his horizontal knife and roared.

"No!"

"Kill—"

"Kill—"

Chu Ge's sneak attack was very successful, and the Turgish people in Dundo City did not expect that the Tang army would sneak attack here at all, without vigilance and defense, how could they not be sneak attacked?

Muzar, who was in his fifties, was captured, and he was taken from the couch by Chu Ge, and there was a young woman who was only a teenager on the same couch as him.

After escorting Muzar out of the mansion, Chu Ge held the hilt of the knife and said, "Lord Muzar, right?" The city of Dundo has been breached by me, whether to surrender or seek death, you choose! ”

The bearded Muzar stared at Chu Ge with his eyes, almost spewing fire, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Cunning Tang people, do you think that defeating a useless Dundo City will defeat our Turgish?" Tell you, dream! The Fire-Spitting Khan will surely defeat you! ”

Chu Ge snorted coldly: "Hmph, instead of worrying about the future, you should worry about your own safety now!" Since you don't have a choice, then the captain will choose for you! Come, take him, his wife and children to the barracks! ”

"No!"

Chu Ge took some people to escort Muzar's family to the barracks, leaving some soldiers to raid Muzar's mansion and pack up all the gold, silver, jewelry and jewelry, leaving only things that could not be taken away.

The Turquoise cavalry who were surrounded in the barracks tried to break out of the barracks several times, but they were all pushed back, and it was not until Chu Ge arrived at the gate of the barracks with Muzar's family that the Tushi cavalry who were surrounded in the barracks stopped thinking of continuing to break through by force.

Early the next morning, he reported to Chu Ge: "Lord Captain, the villain has been found out, Muzar has a total of more than 7,000 cattle, sheep and horses, almost all the shops in the city are in his name, and those residents are renting his shops and houses. Ever since he was sent to Dundo City by the Spitfire Fairy, Muzar has been doing evil, and many Turkishes in the town have been bullied by him! ”

Hearing this, Chu Ge nodded and said, "I understand, you go down first, and the captain will send someone to call you if there is something!" ”

"No!"

"Come, inform all the Turks in the town to assemble outside the city. Escort all the 200 Turkish soldiers in the barracks out of the city! ”

There were only 2,000 people in the town, and many of them were children and old people, more than half of them were children and old people, and more than a quarter were women, so there were less than 500 young people.

Chu Ge walked to the wall of Tucheng, waved his hand and shouted: "Come on, bring the Muzar family over!" ”

The dejected and decadent Muzar and his family were all escorted to the earthen city wall, and Chu Ge pointed to Muzar and shouted to all the turks under the city wall: "This is the lord Muzar who is powerful in Dundo City, and now he and his whole family have been captured by us. His minions have all been captured by us, so you don't have to fear him anymore! ”

When the more than 2,000 Turks under the city wall heard this, they all began to talk about each other.

"Come on, cut down Muzar and his whole family!"

"No!"

The axeman raised his broadsword, and a flash of light flashed at him, and Muzar and his entire family were beheaded. Seeing this scene, many people in the city suddenly cried and cried: "Kill well, kill well!" ”

Chu Ge saw that it didn't work, and said, "The house and shop you rented used to belong to Muzar. The Captain now declares that these shops and houses are all your own, and that you will no longer have to pay rent to anyone. You can sell it if you want, you can keep it for yourself or do business if you want, no one can interfere with you! ”

The more than 2,000 Turks in the city were stupid when they heard the news, this is simply impossible, how can such a good thing happen? One of the old men asked cautiously, "This Tang general, is what you said true?" ”

"Of course. I can guarantee it! Even if there is a new city lord in Dundo City in the future, it will not change this! ”

Suddenly, all the Turks in the city let out a roaring cheer and knelt down to the city wall together.

Chu Ge looked at all this and admired Zhao Ziliang so much. It turns out that it is so easy to conquer a people, and it is only a small profit.

More than 2,000 Turks, herdsmen, and people cheered and shouted for a quarter of an hour before they gradually stopped.

Only then did Chu Ge ask the soldiers to escort over more than 200 Turkish captives, and the Turkish captives all stood under the city wall one by one, and the Turkish residents in the town had not dispersed, and they were all watching not far away.

"Give you two options!" Chu Ge said and looked at the reactions below, and sure enough, most of the captives raised their heads.

Chu Ge continued: "First, join us and become a member of my general's command, the meeting gift is four sheep and a string of copper coins for each person, in addition to the monthly salary of other Tang soldiers, there are additional rewards for each battle, the amount of rewards depends on whether you are loyal and the size of your military achievements, fighting under my general, your merits will not be buried, all your efforts will be rewarded, if someone is greedy for your credit, you can report it directly to my general or me!" Second, you have surrendered now, but do not want to join us, and those who think this way can stand up".

The two hundred Turks under the city looked at each other left and right, and more than a dozen of them stood up very simply.

Chu Ge waved his hand, and some soldiers rushed over from the periphery, escorted down the dozen or so Turgish soldiers who stood firmly, and beheaded them one by one not far away.

This hand suppressed all the onlookers in the town and those turkey soldiers, these soldiers were a little commotion, but they were quickly stopped by Chu Ge: "All quiet, these are stubborn people, and they are innocent!" As long as you are loyal to my general, obey military orders, and fight bravely to kill the enemy, no one will be like this, you will not only be respected but also receive a lot of rewards, only loyal warriors will be respected, you should be such a person! Okay, since you have all agreed to become a member of my general's command, then please come forward and swear to heaven: always be loyal to my general Zhao Ziliang and never betray, otherwise you will be punished by heaven! After taking the oath, you can receive the reward of four sheep and a string of copper coins! (To be continued.) )
