Xue Shixiong changed into a bright light armor today, he is nearly sixty years old, compared with a few years ago in Youzhou, his beard has begun to become gray, but the lines on his face are still the same as before, like a knife and axe, sharp edges and corners, the three long strands of long whiskers on his chin are fluttering, and in the sunken eye sockets, a pair of sharp eyes like a falcon are constantly exuding a cold cold light.

On the left and right sides of Xue Shixiong, standing are his subordinate generals this time, the former left Yiwei Hu Benlang general Pei Renji, this time also fought with the army, standing first on the right, and the first on the left is Wang Rengong, an old subordinate who has been guarding Bashu for many years and Yang Su, the Duke of Chu.

Under the two generals, there are the generals of each army, it is worth noting that the six young generals standing at the end of the team, all five big and three thick, strong as a bear, but born with red lips and white teeth, sparse eyebrows, it is Xue Shixiong's four sons, Wan Jun, Wan Che, Wan Shu, Wan Shu, all eight-foot strong men, big shoulders and round waists, and the remaining one is Pei Renji's son Pei Xingyan and Pei Xingjian brothers, who are also brave young heroes, these six people stand together, like a wall of steel and muscles. It's enough to make the enemy shudder when they see it.

Now standing in the tent was a man of medium stature, with a round hat and a leather robe. High nose and deep eyes. He looks like a businessman. Two mustaches parted on his lips, and a pair of eyes looked around at these fierce gods and evil people in the tent, no matter who he saw, he would be glared at by the other party, and the bad temper would directly hold down the hilt of the sword, so frightened that he quickly turned his gaze to the next target, and his face became pale.

Xue Shixiong coughed dryly and said, "What was set up under the tent." But the messenger sent by King Iwu? ”

The envoy was so frightened that he was clever, and hurriedly pressed his hand to his chest, and saluted Xue Shixiong deeply: "The general is above, and the small one is the envoy sent by our king to the labor army, and the king of our family saw that the army was coming from afar, and specially ordered the small one to bring three hundred cattle, five hundred sheep, and a thousand jars of wine to the labor army, by the way, the general brought such a large scale of the male division." Where do you want to go? ”

Xue Shixiong laughed: "Do you still want to ask me this question?" ”

The messenger's lips trembled, "Small." The little one really doesn't know, and I ask the general to make it clear. ”

Xue Shixiong's eyes flashed with coldness, and the envoy took half a step back, he stood up, picked up a roll of yellow silk silk on the big case, spread it out, and said loudly: "This is the edict of our Great Sui Emperor, you Yiwu small country, disobey the king, greedy and cruel, not only did not pay tribute to my Great Sui for many years, but also often sent soldiers to pretend to be bandits, robbing and attacking the merchant groups and envoys from various countries in the Western Regions who came to my Great Sui. In the past, our Great Sui Son of Heaven had the virtue of a good life in heaven, and he didn't care about you, but last year, all the countries in the Western Regions sent envoys to congratulate my Great Sui Emperor, and only your Yiwu country did not send envoys, and now our Great Sui Son of Heaven drove a personal expedition to exterminate Tuyuhun in the south of the Silk Road, and I led a partial division to crusade against you Yiwu by the way, this is the purpose of my return, understand? ”

The envoy's face became more and more ugly, he fixed his mind, and said in Chinese that was not very fluent: "Xue, General Xue, you, you must have misunderstood, our Yiwu is a small country and a widow, and the information is isolated, but we have always served the Great Sui loyally, last year when the countries paid tribute, our king was going to go in person, but, but before the departure, he suddenly had a sudden illness, so he did not follow the envoys of various countries on the road, our king said that next time he will go to the Great Sui in person to apologize to the Great Sui Emperor." ”

Xue Shixiong sneered: "Don't play this kind of trick in front of Ben Shuai, the soldiers will start to give in when they come to the city, why should they go earlier!" We have a saying in the Central Plains, called salute first and then soldier, today the commander will not kill you, you go back to sue your king, either you will personally open the city and surrender, go back to the Great Sui with my army, and ask the Son of Heaven for guilt, or you will prepare to use this projectile city, when my army thunders and strikes well! When the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and the chickens and dogs will not be left, understand? ! ”

All the generals drew their swords from their waists in unison, struck the armor on their chests with a "clanging bell", and shouted: "Conquer Iwu, no chickens and dogs will be left!" ”

The messenger's legs weakened, and he knelt on the ground with a crying voice: "General, you, don't kill the little one, our king, our king really has the sincerity to negotiate peace." ”

Pei Renji said sharply: "Peace? When do you still want to deceive people! If you really have the intention of surrendering, you should open the city gate, and the king will come to our army with a hundred officials to ask for guilt, so as to avoid the destruction of the lives in the city. ”

Wang Rengong said coldly: "Marshal, I think this kid wants to check the reality of our army, King Yiwu has no sincerity to sue for peace, otherwise he would not have sent such a merchant over, it is better to behead him and put it under the city to deter the enemy army." ”

The envoy was so frightened that he was about to pee out, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I, I am not a merchant, I am, I am the king's prime minister, Ali Ba." ”

The Sui general in the pile of tents was stunned for a moment, and then leaned back and laughed. Xue Wanche, who was standing at the end of the tent, pointed at the messenger and scolded: "What a cunning businessman, he is still cleverly saying that he is the minister of state, father, this guy is obviously delaying time, and he should be beheaded as General Wang said." ”

The envoy gritted his teeth, jumped up from the ground, took out a seal from his bosom, and said: "I am really Alibaba, this is the seal of my prime minister!" ”

Xue Shixiong's face changed slightly, and the two colonels beside him stepped forward, took the seal of Alibaba, and handed it to Xue Shixiong. I don't know. But it does look like an official seal. The jade used to make zuò is also a fine white jade without a trace of variegation, and it looks old, not something that ordinary businessmen can make privately, he nodded, put down the seal, and said in a deep voice: "If you are really the prime minister of this Yiwu country, why do you want this businessman to come to my camp dressed as a businessman, and can't you wear your official uniform?" Don't tell sù Ben Shuai. You usually dress like this in the palace. ”

Ali Baba smiled bitterly: "General, the small ones have to suffer, and they can't hide it, even if the small ones come to the camp to negotiate peace this time, they also came secretly." ”

Xue Shixiong said "oh": "What does this mean?" ”

A cold and rough voice came from outside the tent: "Because your Yiwu king is just a puppet, and it is the Western Turks who are really controlling the Yiwu country now, isn't it?" ”

Ali Baba turned his head in surprise and saw two Sui army generals dressed in purple uniforms and leather armor and bronze helmets. is standing at the door of the tent, is it Wang Shichong and Liu Quan?

The corners of Xue Shixiong's mouth hooked. stood up and said with a smile: "Liu Weiwei, Wang Shilang, what gust of wind blew you two here?" ”

A military colonel beside the two stepped forward and said: "If you go back to the commander, these two have come by the order of the Supreme, and the last general will not dare to delay, so he will lead the two to come." ”

Xue Shixiong nodded and said to the military academy: "You did a good job, go down, arrange the entourage of the two adults, there must be no mistakes!" ”

The military academy turned around and retreated, and Liu Quan smiled slightly: "The two of us came to General Xue's camp under the secret order of the Supreme, but I never thought that I happened to see the envoy of Yiwu coming, and I asked the general for forgiveness in an abrupt place." ”

Xue Shixiong smiled at Liu Quan, did not answer, but turned to Wang Shichong: "Wang Shilang, what do you mean by what you just said?" ”

Wang Shichong looked at Alibaba and smiled slightly: "Minister Alibaba, may I ask if what I just said is the truth?" As far as I know, since the founding of the Western Turks, they have set up a Tutun in your Western Regions countries to collect tribute, and in return, the Western Turks will send troops to protect your country, right? ”

Alibaba's eyes widened: "You, who are you, how can you know about our country's affairs?" ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "I know more than you think, and now, Tutun of your Yiwu country is not an ordinary person, but a cousin of Chuluo Khan, and this cousin is not someone else, but his stepfather, and the only son of his uncle Ashina Poshi, Ashina Kuzhen, because Ashina Poshi married the mother of Chuluo Khan, so this Ashina Kuzhen is no different from Chuluo Khan's own brother, and even because of this special relationship, he is also a powerful man in the Western Turkic territory, and no one dares to provoke him." , In the past, he almost rebelled against the Tiele tribes, and Chuluo Khan also had a headache for this cousin, so he gave him an official position in Tutun and sent him to your Yiwu country, and from then on out of sight is pure, right. ”

Ali Baba gritted his teeth, he looked at Wang Shichong's appearance, but he didn't look like a Han person, there were six points like the Hu people who were often seen in the Western Regions, but he was obviously dressed in the Sui army, Ali Baba didn't know how big the official in this purple robe military uniform was, but when he heard Xue Shixiong also treat these two people politely just now, and heard him say what he said about the guard, the squire, I thought that this official was not small, so he said to Wang Shichong respectfully: "This general, you are right, our king is now being hollowed out of power by that Kuzhen Tutun, Although Yiwu is not a small country in the Western Regions, it is still not worth mentioning compared with the Western Turks, and he does not dare to offend this person at all. ”

Wang Shichong said sharply: "This is the matter of your Yiwu country, as the son of heaven of our Great Sui, he only knows that your Yiwu country did not send envoys to pay tribute, and secretly robbed and killed the envoys and merchant groups who came to the Great Sui to pay tribute, whether it is ordered by your king or not, this matter must be responsible for your Yiwu country." ”

Xue Shixiong also said in a deep voice: "Wang Shilang is right, this is the purpose of the arrival of our army, the Supreme has issued an edict, reading that there is a good life in heaven, if the Yiwu Kingdom opens the city and surrenders, there is still a glimmer of life, if it is stubborn to the end, then only when the city is broken, the chickens and dogs will not be left!" ”

Wang Shichong looked at Ali Baba, who was sweating profusely, the corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a mouthful of gloomy white teeth: "Prime Minister, since you are the Prime Minister, you should know what Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, did in Luntai during the Han Dynasty." ”

Alibaba's face suddenly became pale, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously, during the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to ask for sweat and blood from the Dawan country, he sent a messenger to the Dawan country with jewelry and gold zuò gold horse to ask for the purchase, as a result, the monarchs and ministers of the Dawan country relied on the support of the Huns behind them, not only did not hand over the BMW, but also sent someone to secretly kill the Han envoy, after the news reached Chang'an, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was furious, and sent a general, Li Guangli, the brother of the favorite concubine Mrs. Li, led the army across the desert twice and expeditioned to Dawan.

Due to the long distance, the supply is difficult, along the way, the Han army everywhere it passes requires the local country to supply supplies, more than ten small countries in the Western Regions saw that the Han army was strong, all did it, only a small country called Luntai, refused to open the city, as a result, Li Guangli ordered the army to attack the city, after the city was broken, the city was slaughtered, from the princes and nobles, down to the common people, and even every chicken and dog, were killed, these tens of thousands of lives erected the absolute majesty of the Han army in the Western Regions, together with the subsequent Dawan City Siege, For hundreds of years, it has become a lingering nightmare for the countries of the Western Regions, and as long as the Central Plains Dynasty is mentioned in the future, in addition to the wealth of goods and the abundance of people, and the vast area, this kind of iron and blood of those who openly commit crimes against strong men, although they are far away, will be punished, also makes the people of these small countries shudder.

Ali Baba suddenly knelt down in front of Xue Shixiong: "General, don't, the king of our family is sincere enough to treat the Great Sui, it's really just because that Ashina Ku really Tutun insists on refusing to give in, and the king of our family really has no choice." We all know the strength of the Great Sui, but the Great Sui is far away in the sky, but the Western Turks are close at hand, our Yiwu is just a small country, it is not easy to survive between the two great powers, and please General Mingjian! ”

A trace of hesitation flashed on Xue Shixiong's face, and he looked at Wang Shichong, Wang Shichong sneered: "Prime Minister, I advise you to make one thing clear, don't say that your small Yiwu country is the Western Turks, and it is also a vassal state of our Great Sui, the Chuluo Khan of the Western Turks, his mother and stepfather are all hostages in our Great Sui, and he himself has to kneel down to our Great Sui envoys, not to mention his cousin." If you think that you can use the power of the Western Turks to fight against the Great Sui and resist the power of heaven, you are dreaming. ”

Ali Baba gritted his teeth: "Actually, the little one also knows these truths, and has also tried to persuade the king, but our Yiwu country, the population is only 40,000, and more than half of them are foreign merchants, and the soldiers in the city are only one or two thousand, even if they want to resist Kuzhen Tutun, they don't have the power." ”……
