No matter how good Liu's cultivation is, his face is also gloomy.

Yang Dayan was the first fierce general of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, not referring to military talent, but to his personal bravery. Once a tiger appeared in his jurisdiction and injured people, after Yang Dayan heard about it, he rolled up his sleeves and hit it with his bare hands. After a meat fight, the tiger was beaten to death, and Yang Dayan forcibly dragged it to the downtown area, which cut off the tiger's head with a knife, and ended in its life. Compared with him, Wu Song is not as good as a small dish.

It was originally a compliment, but it was not right to praise it with Liu's family.

Yang is very powerful, and his wife Pan is also powerful, with excellent martial arts and good at riding and shooting. The husband and wife often work hand in hand and fight together. The Wei soldiers called her General Pan. General Pan is not only highly armed but also very beautiful. The battle of Zhongli made the god of war Wei Rui and the famous general Cao Jingzong scrap Yang Dayan and Yuan Ying. Yang Dayan was demoted to Yingzhou as a small soldier, and was reinstated the following year. The people of Luoyang moved to the city to welcome the brave general's return. However, when Yang Dayan returned home, he found that General Pan was alone at home, lonely, and raised a junior. In a fit of rage, he killed Pan.

Qi Bi Ming said it unintentionally, but when he saw the husband and wife on the battlefield, they said an unintentional word, but when it was passed out, it would always make people think of it.

The two of them also have some very delicate relationships.

The Turkic rebellions continued, and the imperial court had some suspicions about the appointment of Hu generals, and among the border heavy generals Hu people, there were only three left, Hei Zhi Changzhi and Li Jinxing, as well as Qi Biming. None of the three were Turkic, one was a Baekje, one was a Tatar, and one was a Tiele.

Black Tooth is often a rising star, and in recent years, it has gradually come to the fore, and the residents are on top. But this person is upright and enthusiastic, and he has more or less been promoted by Li Jinxing and Qi Mingming, and his relationship with them is not tense. Li Jinxing has made many great contributions, from Liaodong to Qinghai, and then to today's Lingxi. Qi Biming is not as meritorious as Li Jinxing, but there is a clan loyal to the court behind him, and his father is a major general in the first dynasty and is from a famous family. The two are equal in force, so they are secretly competing.

However, when the two of them are older, they will not be as impulsive as Xue Ne and Zhang Qianqiao, and they will beat them with their fists. On the surface, it still looks very kind. In this regard, Li Wei was also helpless, it was impossible to let Li Jinxing succumb to Qi Ming, and it was impossible to let Qi Ming succumb to Li Jinxing. can only be vaguely warned, you strive for merit and show your ability, don't be like Guo Zhifeng, make a big mistake.

Although Wang Fangyi is also in the background, he has very little experience in the face of these two people. I am very worried that Li Jinxing can change his face, and once the fight starts, he can't persuade him.

Qi Ming also felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, and immediately changed his words and said, "I'm not that ......."

"Don't explain, I know you made a mistake, and to make up for it, Barry Black let me fight." Li Jinxing said with a punch in Qi Ming's chest.

About Qi Biming said it unintentionally, his wife is an old woman, how can he compare with the Pan family of the water-based poplar flower, but he said it, and he couldn't take it back if he wanted to. If it is passed out, it will eventually make people laugh. But for the sake of the overall situation, take the initiative to divert the topic.

Qi Biming said with a bitter face: "You also have to fight for this credit?" ”

He captured the city of Gaburo, but this old horseman was his Majesty's deputy in the Battle of the Wuhu River, and his merits have surpassed his own. Moreover, it is necessary to add more than 20,000 strong troops with Wang Fangyi to destroy Buzarif, which is a great achievement.

Why did he take the city of Gabro in front of him, and then desperately rush to the black city of Bari, in order to narrow the gap in merit? Again, what did you do when you came to Barihe? But the more he spoke, the quieter he became, and his slip of the tongue was too serious. It's very empty-hearted.

"Don't be verbose, I'll step off that Dawan horse and give it to you."

The countries of Lingxi all produce good horses, among which the Dawan horse of Shiguo and the sweat and blood horse of Tocharo are the best. Shi Guo picked the best two Dawan horses, one for Li Wei and the other for Li Jinxing. Tocharian also picked two of the best sweaty horses, one for Li Wei and the other for Qi Ming. However, Li Wei took the initiative to say that whoever showed the bravest performance in the battle would be rewarded to whoever these two horses would be awarded. He already had two horses, and it felt like four were too wasteful.

But it will not be given to Li Jinxing for them, this is to reward the backwards.

But a pure general, how can he not like BMW. Therefore, the two committed a mental illness, and the bowls were always fragrant, and they kept looking at each other's mounts along the way, salivating. "Okay then." Qi Ming reluctantly agreed.

Wang Fangyi breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, there are these two people here, and his business is purely here to make soy sauce, so don't think about robbing any credit. However, Li Jinxing made this contribution, and both sides had steps down.

But Bari's Black City is not so easy to attack.

Lingxi Silk Road, the northernmost one, Nisa to Moufu, to Anguo, Kangguo, Talas, and Broken Leaves. The second north, from Kangguo to Dongcao, crossed the Moluo Ridge and reached Shule, which is the middle road of the Western Regions. The second north of the second article, the husband to the Barihei, Tiemen Pass, Shi Guo, Kang Guo. In the middle of the three strips, in the north is the Moufu to Barihe, Tochar, and Humi, crossing the green mountains, and reaching Khotan, that is, the southern road of the Western Regions. In the middle is from the city of Nishapur to Herat, to Barihei to the city of Bondage, and from the green mountains to Khotan. The southern one is from Herat to the city of Gabro and then to the kingdom of Zobin. In the Tang Dynasty, the Green Ridge guarded and captured the intersection of the middle road, to Khotan. There are also two southern roads, the city of Gaburo to the city of Heshina, Kandahar, and the city of Jiling, and the city of Gabro to Kandahar to Sindh and Tianzhu. In addition, there are two main lines in the north and south longitudinally, Tianzhu, Sinde, Jiling City, and Herat, from Herat to the west to Persia, and to the north to Barihe. The cities of Tianzhu, Sindh, and Jiling to the city of Gabro, from there to the north to Balish, and northeast to the Tocharian nations.

There were other roads, such as the path of the king's march, but they were all small paths, not suitable for business travelers. Therefore, the most important cities in Lingnan are Aludi (Samarkand, the capital of Kangguo), Moufu, Herat, Hang, Gabro, Barihe, Jiling, and Nishapur.

Salem not only laid down heavy troops in Gabro, Herat, and Barihei, but also added many defenses and weapons. In addition, the city itself is strong, and the walls are high, which is very difficult to attack. Li Jinxing was in trouble.

Gaburo's style of play is because there is plenty of time and a lot of manpower and material resources. Now that he is grabbing merit, he can only use the 20,000 troops he brought, and if he borrows troops from Qi Biming to pick up the dirt mountain, this guy will have to die of laughter. Time does not wait for him to do this, he must take down the black city of Bari, transfer the army, and then go to conquer the city of Moufu. and divide the forces to attack the city of Herat. This must be completed before the arrival of the heat, if these fortresses are not snatched into their hands, as soon as the weather is hot and the reinforcements arrive, the Tang army will inevitably be at a disadvantage.

Besides, the troops that came from the Tang Dynasty were all northern soldiers, and the summer heat in the Khorasan region made the soldiers not adaptable. With so many people gathered together, it is possible to contract the plague. I don't read as many history books as His Majesty, but I have read a lot. When a large army like this goes to war, it reaches an unsuitable zone, and the time period is not good, and the probability of contracting the plague is almost twenty percent.

And the faster the speed, the better, to be able to seize the big cannibal reaction, and before the real heat arrives, if Nishapur City and Nisa City are taken down, they will be each other's horns. Even if the big cannibal comes, he won't worry. Besides, the Byzantines could really endure it, and they would not have sent a high-level envoy group to the river to meet His Majesty.

It all takes time.

Wang Fangyi made these two old guys angry, regardless of them. Because of a slip of the tongue, Qi Mingming lost the opportunity to make a great meritorious service, and when he was depressed, he would not give advice for him. Li Jinxing could only meditate with his wife.

At this time, Li Wei brought the Persian drawbridge-style siege tower.

Looking at the drawings, Li Jinxing suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and said, "God helps me." ”

But it didn't work yet, so I muttered with my wife, and invited Wang Fangyi and Qi Ming to the banquet and let Liu's pour wine. When he arrived in front of Qi Mingming, Liu snorted coldly, her husband was magnanimous and forgave him, but he was the biggest victim. Why compare me to that Pan?

Qi Ming was also so angry that he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't tell the bitterness.

At this time, Li Jinxing spoke: "General Qibi, I will borrow someone from you." ”

"Who?"

"That Surim."

Qi Bi clearly understood his intentions, for the sake of the overall situation, and did not obstruct it, and lent people to Li Jinxing.

Li Jinxing began to build siege towers. But after some modifications, it became fourteen and sixteen rounds, two kinds of extra-large siege towers. This is a makeover of the volume. Then it was remodeled on the top baffle. Punch holes one by one, use them to observe each other, and you can also shoot from these large holes with a bow and crossbow. In addition, a pulley block is installed. Similar equipment appeared in China for a long time, but Li Wei saw the difficulty of lifting heavy objects in military and civilian use, and suddenly remembered the pulley set. It will also be used on ships, and the hoist used for the ship is also a large pulley. So this theory was said, and now it is widely used in the Tang Dynasty. Once the siege tower was built, the trebuchet was pulled onto the top tower with a pulley. The drawbridge was not put for the time being, so the soldiers pushed it, approached the city wall, and used the cover of the baffle to shoot strong bows and crossbows from the hole to the city wall. And he used a trebuchet to throw the fire medicine at the head of the city.

Thirty large siege towers blasted the defenders of the lower city of Barishi to the point that they could not lift their heads.

Qi Ming's eyes widened, and he couldn't help muttering: "This Tian Sheweng has a wonderful idea." ”

There weren't many scolding words in the Tang Dynasty, and Tian Sheweng was also a scolding word, which meant that you hillbilly. Li Shimin scolded Wei Zheng with this sentence.

There was also a large cannibal counterattack in the city, using trebuchets to knock down two siege towers, but the enemy in the city suffered heavier losses. After the bombing, he escorted Surim to the city to shout and weaken the morale of the big cannibals. At this time, Surim did not shout surrender, but he couldn't help himself, he could only bow his head in shame, was pushed and shoved by several Tang soldiers, and swam back to the prisoner of war camp. By the next day, the thirty or so siege towers had become forty. On the third day it became more than fifty.

This weapon, in the hands of the Persians, did not play much role. However, with the long-range weapons of the Tang Dynasty, it became a nightmare for the city defenders. On the fourth day, seeing the big cannibals cowering on the head of the city, not even daring to stretch out their heads, all lying under the stomping wall to avoid the Tang army's bows, arrows, fire, and medicine, Li Jinxing blew the horn. More than a hundred large drawbridges were lowered, and the soldiers came down from the towers and stepped on the top of the city.

There was no use of any Don troops, all soldiers from the middle of the river.

After several battles, the army of the Tang Dynasty suffered serious casualties, and there was no need to reduce the number of troops in a tailwind war like this. However, after several battles, the soldiers in the river have the experience of bloody battles, and the confidence of victory is getting better and better.

Wang Fangyi nodded secretly. It is necessary to progress, His Majesty the Emperor runs Lingxi, which can only be said to be a strategic use, and in the current few years, or even decades, the Tang Dynasty cannot directly rule Lingxi. Sooner or later, His Majesty will have to lead the army back, and without combat effectiveness, he will not be able to resist the counterattack of the Great Cannibals, let alone make Khorasan a barrier in the river.

The soldiers shouted again and again, and many soldiers were killed, but they tightly guarded the tower, so that the reinforcements behind continued to climb the city. As more and more Tang troops appeared on the city, the soldiers defending the city collapsed and fled to the city. Two young generals from Kangguo opened the city gates. Li Jinxing waved his hand, and the cavalry rushed into the city, and Bari Heixia took the city.

When I went to Shangcheng again, there were fewer guards in Dashi. Seeing that at the end of the day, more than a dozen taller siege towers were erected, and all the Persian soldiers in the city rebelled, and some people climbed to the top of the city and shouted loudly outside, hurry up and attack the city. We couldn't stand it, there were many rebellious Persian soldiers, but a few big cannibals in the city were killed.

Li Jinxing immediately ordered his subordinates to push the siege tower to the edge of the city wall, and at the same time scratched his head happily, this thing is good, and the siege is particularly useful. But it should also be seen that if the Tang Dynasty army did not have powerful long-range projection weapons, the power would be reduced. If the soldiers defending the city have the long-range attack weapons of the Tang Dynasty, the power will be reduced again. But now it is very effective, the siege tower is pushed, no matter how tall the upper city is, the soldiers also climb up from the siege tower. The Tang Dynasty army entered the city, and the big cannibals could not resist. The remaining soldiers surrendered on their knees.

Barry Black took it down. In fact, it means that the governors and prefectures and counties in Lingxi set up by the Tang Dynasty have all been recovered, except for Jiling City.

Next, the main force is going to Moufu City. and send a heavy general to attack Herat. But this time, Qi Ming took Li Jinxing's Dawan horse and hurriedly said, "I'm going to attack the city of Herat." ”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the attitude of Li Jinxing and Wang Fangyi, he left 20,000 soldiers behind, and he took 10,000 people to the south again.

Li Jinxing and Wang Fangyi had no choice but to take 40,000 soldiers to the west and rush to Moufu City. At this rendezvous, the strength of the troops became very impressive. The city of Moufu was truly besieged.

But several important generals were holding a secret meeting. first praised Li Jinxing: "General Li, in Barihei, you have done a good job." ”

Qi Biming was an unintentional word, but if Li Jinxing didn't have a large amount and had a seizure on the spot, the two brave generals would inevitably be on the same page in the future. At this critical time, Li Wei least wanted this kind of situation. Liu Renliang and Li Jingxuan are examples of the past. But let Li Jinxing skillfully resolve it.

Li Jinxing did not answer.

Li Wei changed the topic and said: "The magic of that siege tower is better. Li Jinxing smiled at this time.

Only then did they discuss the matter, and it was the news brought by the Liu family, and they had to change their plans.

In February, Xue Rengui died of illness at Yanmen Pass. Hearing the news, Li Jinxing and Li Wei were both embarrassed. Although there was the defeat of Dafeichuan, it is undeniable that Xue Rengui was the most courageous general of the Tang Dynasty in these decades. But people are always born, old, sick and die, Xue Rengui is seventy years old, and he is still fighting for the imperial court all these years, his vitality is consumed quickly, and it is reasonable to die of illness. If Pei Xingjian hadn't been forcibly stopped by Li Wei, because of the betrayal of Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxuan, he would have been angry in his heart, and then went to the Western Regions, and he was seriously ill on the way, and there was no good doctor to treat him in time, and he might have died.

In fact, Pei Xingjian has passed away a long time ago. This time, Li Wei couldn't stand it, so he stopped it in time, left Pei Xingjian in Luoyang, and treated it in time, so he barely saved Pei Xingjian's illness. But as soon as Xue Rengui died, Ashina's bones began to turn upside down. When the Turks heard the news, they immediately invaded Dingzhou and let Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, repel him. Next, he went to Koufei Prefecture, plundered countless people, and returned to Yinshan. Then surround Shan Yu Duhufu, capture Sima Zhang Xingshi alive, and kill him.

Then another incident happened in the imperial court. Li Yiyan reburied his parents, took a fancy to the old tomb of his uncle's family, and ordered him to relocate. Li Yiyan's talent is slightly worse, and his morality is still superior. Not only did he obstruct Wu Zetian's interference in politics many times, but he was also very honest. There was no main hall in his house, and his younger brother bought wood to build it for him, but he pushed it and said: "The emperor made me the prime minister, but I am ashamed, and I am still ashamed, and I am still in a beautiful house?" If you don't love me, you're hurting me. His younger brother said: "Those who are out of the county are all in the mansion." Brother is high, if you don't cover it, what will your subordinates do? He replied, "Otherwise, it will be difficult to complete the matter, and things will not be happy." If you are not virtuous, you will receive it. "That pile of wood has been rotting for a long time.

I don't know why I made this mistake, but Li Zhi heard it, and said angrily: "Li Yiyan relied on the situation and actually bullied his uncle's house, how can he be the prime minister?" ”

It's just a trivial matter, the Li family is the Li family in Longxi, and if this matter is done, I am afraid that there is another hidden situation, or it is believed in the demagogy of some Taoist priests and monks, or because its land is connected to the family tomb, but it will not be forced to the uncle's family, and it will be resolved through mediation and negotiation.

However, it was this little thing that strangely reached Li Zhi's ears, and it strangely made Li Zhi angry, making things complicated. Li Jinxing was afraid, so he had to use the bones of an old beggar, and after Li Zhi saw the performance, he asked Li Yiyan to give him a look.

Several people looked at each other, and it was hard to say. In order to prevent the harem from interfering in politics, the Northern Wei Dynasty adopted the barbaric method of setting up a son and killing his mother. It's too much, and you can't come like the emperor. There are only a few powerful ministers loyal to the emperor, Hao Chujun, Dai Zhide and others died one after another due to old age, Liu Renliang was sent to Xijing, and Li Yiyan was dismissed. What does the Emperor want to do? Do you want to pass on the Queen Mother?

But the emperor's father is inconvenient to say.

Several generals will think like this from Li Wei's standpoint. But this is not the case, Li Zhi was seriously ill in his later years, his eyes were not good, and he was in love with power. In order to control, he has been balancing between his son and his wife. History is going in different directions, but the means are the same.

But it was his balance that made a lot of things. thought that everything could be controlled, but he didn't know that in the changes brought about by various balances, Wu Zetian grasped the general trend step by step. It is possible that he wants Wu Zetian to assist in the government, but he will not let his wife preside over the government.

But my father was mediocre and did a lot of things that made people feel wonderful.

Li Wei didn't explain much, and said, "Don't care about the news behind. ”

The purpose of coming to the Western Regions is precisely to avoid turmoil. He also said: "Everyone, look at the news ahead, Qinghai. ”

Li Yiyan's phase, Liu Renliang is in Chang'an, and only Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao are the only ones who speak authoritatively in the court. Snap your fingers and know what they're going to do.

And then there is the strength of the military. The Tang Dynasty implemented the government military system, and the permanent army was nothing more than a piece in the north and a piece in Qinghai, and the troops in the Western Regions were small and could not be counted. There are also two Yulin troops in Beijing, and Cheng Wuting has served as the general of Zuo Yulin. Yulin Jun didn't have to think about it, he was "lost". Because of the Turkic coercion, many troops were stationed in the north, but with Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianqiao, through their remote control, it was equivalent to losing it.

This incident worries Heiya Changzhi. It doesn't matter much about your position, but it has to do with Your Majesty's future. But this matter is very confidential, so Liu wanted to come to the Western Regions to reunite with her husband, so Liu brought these two pieces of news over.

The stakes are so great that several generals dare not speak out.

Li Wei pondered for a while and said, "Let's take down the city first." ”

Let them leave, wrote a letter to Heizhi Changzhi, sent his personal guards, and sent it to Qinghai with a fast horse, and after a long time, Heizhi Changzhi also underestimated the seriousness of the matter, so that he received the news very late. He was ordered not to delay a moment on the road, preferably within twenty days, and to deliver the letter to the Black Tooth Constant.

The guards left with the letter, and Li Wei sighed and said, "Right." ”

June is approaching, and the night weather outside Moufu City is also hot, but Li Wei's heart is cold. Outside the camp, there were prisoners of war in the distance repairing siege equipment, and the night crows flew wildly and made ugly chirps. Li Wei's eyes showed a hint of murderous aura inexplicably. (To be continued.)
