Chapter 568: Duel (2)

Ye Hu has always been very fond of this adopted sister, and rarely taught her such a harsh lecture as now. www.biquge.infoHearing that Ye Hu actually said such heavy words to himself for Kong Sheng, Gu Yun stayed there slightly.

The favor of Khan Moyan Si and Ye Hu contributed to Gu Yun's arrogance and arrogance.

Gu Yun stood there stupidly, looking at Ye Hu's hair, and immediately his eyes turned red, and he actually shed tears sadly.

Seeing her in such a state, Ye Hu couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, and comforted her softly: "Sister Guyun, you don't listen to my brother's advice, it is a matter of peace between the two countries, and personal matters are just small sections, if you can endure it for a while, I will give you an explanation in the future!" ”

In fact, the bone cloud may not know that the harmony cannot be destroyed. She was just angry just now, and was dissuaded by Ye Hu singing red and white faces, and gradually dissipated some resentment. She stomped her feet, turned her face away with tears, and after a long time, she turned around abruptly, ran over with a look of shame, raised her horsewhip and pointed at Kong Sheng word by word: "Kong Sheng, you remember for me, we will never finish this matter!" Your humiliation of me, when the peace is over, I will definitely get it back in person! ”

Gu Yun angrily turned on his horse and whipped away.

Kong Sheng frowned, and said lightly to Ye Hu: "Prince Ye Hu, what's going on?" The competition was first proposed by Princess Guyun, and Kong had to follow it. And since it is a competition, it is inevitable that there will be wins and losses and bumps, if she didn't attack Kong, how could Kong Sheng be as knowledgeable as a woman? Such a trivial matter, but holding on, is this the demeanor of the Hui people? ”

Ye Hu was slightly embarrassed, he knew very well in his heart that even if Kong Sheng offended Gu Yun, it would definitely be an unintentional mistake, and this matter was obviously provoked by Gu Yun, and he couldn't complain about others.

Ye Hu sighed and arched his hand: "Chang'an Hou, Guyun sister has always been pampered by my father Khan, she has a short temper, and some naughty temper, if you have any offense, please look at Ye Hu's face, don't be surprised." ”

Kong Sheng sighed, turned around and glanced at the strange-looking Wu Xian Wujie behind him, and clasped his fists and said: "In this case, the prince is easy to go, Kong Mou will not be far away!" ”

"Thank you Chang'an. I hope that in three days, you and I will meet in Helan Fort to participate in the grand event! Ye Hu said goodbye! Ye Hu returned the salute with his fists and took the lead in hitting the horse, and the Hui cavalry team followed closely behind, galloping towards the far end, and the smoke and dust in the sky gradually dissipated in the field of vision of the Tang army.

Although Ye Hu said it simply, Kong Sheng felt that this matter was a little strange. He knew that Wuxian Wujie was familiar with the Turkic language and Hui customs and culture, so he turned his head and said lightly: "Wuxian, tell me, what's going on?" Why did Princess Su have to duel with me after losing the competition this time? ”

Wu Xian rubbed his hands, and his smile was a little complicated: "General Hui, the customs of the Hui people are not much different from those of the Turks. There are generally two kinds of duels between the Uighurs, one is to seek revenge, which can appeal to the law, or the people can initiate a duel, as long as it is a fair duel, no matter whether they win or lose, no one will interfere. There is another ...... Like a woman who takes the initiative to launch a duel against a man, it is nothing more than being humiliated by a man...... Wash away your shame with the blood of the other party! ”

Wu Xian's words were vague, but Kong Sheng understood it. Dare to have some physical contact with Gu Yun, which touched a major taboo of Hui women.

Kong Sheng frowned and smiled bitterly: "I understand, I see." But this thing...... It's just inexplicable! ”

Kong Sheng suddenly grabbed the horse's belly in annoyance and galloped away.

Wu Xian Wujie looked at each other with a strange look, and said in his heart that there must be a ...... between the general and the princess this time Otherwise, how could that bone cloud have to provoke a duel?! If this kind of thing happens, unless the general can accept Princess Hui as his wife, even if she endures it for a while today, she will still seek revenge from Kong Sheng later, there is no doubt about it.

But these words gave Wu Xianwu a lot of courage, and they didn't dare to speak directly to Kong Sheng.

……

Lin Yong has been waiting at the gate of the city with the Lingwu generals.

Seeing Kong Sheng galloping over, he stepped forward and said: "General, in front of the Hui people, Lin Mou can't say anything directly, but Lin thinks that this time the Su people chose to discuss and make peace with the general in Helan Fort, and I thought it was a little inappropriate." ”

Kong Sheng smiled: "The Metropolitan Governor has something to say, Kong listens!" ”

"Helan Fort has a dangerous terrain, it was originally an outpost fortress of our army, and then it was abandoned in the thief rebellion. After that, the Hui people suddenly sent troops to occupy this fortress......" Lin Yong stepped forward and knelt in Kong Sheng's ear, explained the geographical location and related terrain of Helan Fort in detail, and then said in a deep voice: "Lin is worried that the Hui people have bad intentions, if the Hui army sets up an ambush on the stone mountain where Helan Fort is located, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”

"Get the marching map!" Lin Yong waved his hand and shouted.

Lin Yong's own soldiers immediately spread out the marching map on the ground, Lin Yong pointed to the location of Helan Fort, and said: "General, please see, this fort is built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Hui people ambush here, our army is in danger!" ”

Kong Sheng also frowned, and he also felt that something was wrong when Hui Khan Mo Yansi chose to meet here. But as Kong Sheng is concerned, it is a matter of harmony, and he can't help but go. Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you can't be frightened by the Hui people.

"Since it is a fortress of our army, even if it is an abandoned fortress - this place is obviously within the border line of our Tang Dynasty, why did it allow the Hui people to occupy it? As the commander of the Lingwu Guard, why did the Metropolitan Governor watch the Hui people occupy our territory? Kong Sheng asked softly.

Lin Yong smiled bitterly in embarrassment: "This fort was stationed in Lingwu during His Majesty's station, and the Hui people sent troops to station. Then...... At that time, the imperial court considered the fort insignificant, so it acquiesced to the encroachment of the Hui people. Lin later also wrote to His Majesty that he wanted to send troops to take back Helan Fort, but His Majesty had various scruples and was unwilling to trigger a war between Hui and the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time, the Central Plains counterinsurgency also needed to send troops to Hui to help in the war...... Therefore, by mistake, this fort has become a place for the Hui people. ”

Kong Sheng took a deep breath, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Grand Governor, although this fort is not big, its strategic location is very important. The Hui people occupy this fort, undoubtedly in the territory of our Tang Dynasty to install a military outpost, if it is the heart of the Tang Dynasty in the future, Helan Fort is the forefront. Even though it is a land of projectiles, it is related to the dignity of the Tang Dynasty, and it cannot be allowed to move an inch. Okay, Kong knows about this, I will consider it all, and take advantage of this peace affair to send troops to take back this fort! ”

"As for Your Majesty and the court, I will explain the report." Kong Sheng waved his hand, got on his horse and walked into the city.

In Kong Sheng's opinion, this matter is not negotiable. The military fortress in the territory of Datang was actually occupied by the Hui people, which is really a big joke and a shame for the country! Since he encountered this matter, and it happened that he had full authority to supervise the military administration of Lingwu, he happened to take the opportunity to take back Helan Fort.

In fact, Kong Sheng now thinks about it, the reason why the emperor asked him to take over the military and political power of Lingwu is probably also such considerations. Although the emperor will not say it explicitly, there are some things that are well understood. You can only do, you can't say.

The situation at that time, in fact, Kong Sheng could figure it out when he thought about it. At that time, the emperor ascended the throne in Lingwu, the foundation was unstable, and he urgently needed to ask for help from the Hui, so he naturally turned a blind eye to the Hui people's robbery. But as the domestic rebellion in the Tang Dynasty was coming to an end, the emperor naturally wanted to take back Helan Fort.

Lin Yong sighed, but there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.

In fact, he had long been angry that Helan Fort was invaded by the Hui people, and he had already had the intention of recovering Helan Fort, but he was too worried, one was worried that the emperor would rebound, and the other was anxious that it would break the friendly alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Hui people. If this triggers a full-scale war between the Tang Dynasty and the Hui Dynasty, he, the Lingwu Grand Governor, really can't bear this responsibility. (To be continued.) )
