Chapter 8: The Smoke of the Beacon in the Tone of the Peace (3)
[The third update, ask for red tickets, collect]
The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset spread like a huge red silk silk between heaven and earth. The countless white stones on the exposed mountain were bright red, like charcoal burning in the hearth.
Dong Yu rode a horse and paused on the mountain road on the south side of the Exposed Mountain, looking at the south from afar.
The weather is scorching, even after the sun sets, the mountain breeze still carries a hint of heat - if it is a Han Chinese, you may feel very comfortable, but Dong Yu, as a Tubo citizen on the plateau, is extremely unable to withstand the heat.
Half of his fur was off, revealing half of his chest, which was as solid as iron. The multicolored ties around the waist were loosely tied, and half of the shawl was draped over the shoulders, made of the finest silk silk, which glittered in the afterglow of the setting sun.
On Dong Yu's right arm, a three-inch disc-shaped ornament is tied. It is adorned with turquoise gemstones that are round like pearls and are called Sese. This is a symbol that can only be worn by the Tubo Zampu lineage, which represents that the owner of the armband has the bloodline inherited from Songtsen Gampo. If it is an ordinary tribal chief, the armband is just a simple thing of gold and silver.
And Dong Yu can wear this arm ornament because he is the grandson of the former Zampu Zangluo and the nephew of the current Zampu Dong Yu. At the same time, he is also the second person in the Hezhou Fan Department, second only to his brother Mu Zheng.
He was immediately on the high mountain road. Separated by a low hill, a faint spark in the far south is the light from the westernmost walled fort of the Song Kingdom, Weiyuan Fort. However, there were not many Song troops stationed in Weiyuan Fort, and over the years, if the Tubo warriors wanted to go east, they didn't have to pay attention to the defenders in Weiyuan Fort.
Dong Yuben didn't take Weiyuan Fort to heart, he had always been very arrogant and took his soldiers through Weiyuan Fort to talk to his father-in-law. This kind of arrogance did not disappear until he was stabbed from behind by Wang Shao with seven tribes who betrayed Tubo this time.
Dong Yu touched the new pink flesh that had just grown on his right cheek, and the corners of his mouth twitched, and a hideous smile bloomed. The eyes were as cold as electricity, which was the faint cold light of the hungry tiger staring at its prey in the night.
Although a few months have passed, Dong Yu still remembers the moment he was hit by the arrow. He had never seen such a swift archery, that is, a breath of such a short time, blocked on the escape road, and the oncoming Song man actually shot more than ten arrows in one breath. At that time, Dong Yu tried his best to avoid half of them, and relied on the hard armor he was wearing to block the remaining half, but at the end of the day, he still missed an arrow and pierced his face, and the arrow even hit his teeth, smashing his two big teeth down.
"Wang Sun-sin......"
Reading this name, Dong Yu felt that his scars began to itch again. After that battle, he managed to get the name of the Song general. Just like the scar left on his face that could never be erased, the hatred in Dong Yu's heart would never disappear before he beheaded Wang Sunchen.
"Dong Yu, are you still thinking about the affairs of the Tuoshuo Department?" An old voice sounded behind him, and Dong Yu hurriedly turned around.
A sleek head caught his eye first, and then an old monk wearing a dirty monk's robe, with dark skin and a wrinkled face.
Dong Yu hurriedly dismounted and saluted the old monk: "Master, you are here." ”
"Hmm. It's in time. The old monk responded.
Dong Yu, the great leader who can make Hezhou second only to Mu Zheng, respectful, has few people in the northwest. But the monk in front of him, Wu Qila, is definitely one of them. Jiewu Qila is a famous Tibetan monk in the Hehuang area, but his fame comes from the strength of his hands, this old monk, eat fasting and chant Buddha less, kill people and set fires more, do not know what is compassion. And his meeting with Dong Yu this time was not to promote Buddhism.
As soon as he exchanged two words of gossip, Dong Yu asked anxiously, "Master, I don't know if the ones you are looking for are here?" ”
"Don't worry, they'll be there soon." Wu Qila calmed Dong Yu's anxious mood, "When they come, we can discuss what we need to do next." ”
"I just want to meet the Song people who shot this arrow in my face again." Dong Yu's calm tone revealed a strong hatred. I couldn't help but touch the wound again for a while. It has been several months since that battle, but this scar is still itching from time to time: "I can't imagine that there is another good man like Liu Changzuo among the Han people, and when this time it is done, I want his head to be cut off as a wine bowl." ”
"Dong Yu!" At this time, there was a roar from the mountain road, unceremoniously calling Dong Yu's name.
Dong Yu and Wu Qila looked down at the same time. A tall and sturdy Tibetan man rode up along the mountain road. Maybe it was too hot, he took off his hat, and he was also bald and bald, wearing a monk's robe, and unlike Wu Qila, he had a big beard and flew in the mountain wind in a mess.
"It's Kangzun, you're finally here." Dong Yuyao shouted back.
"Master Wu has a life, how dare you delay."
The monk who was called Kang Zun rode a horse straight to Dong Yu and Wu Qila. The horse's hooves were flying, splashing countless dust and gravel, Dong Yu and Wu Qila's faces remained unchanged, and they watched the tall Hexi war horse rushing head-on with a heavy hoof.
When Kang Zun rode alone and rode only five or six steps away from Dong Yu and Jiewu, he saw that he couldn't move them, so he pulled the reins hard. The crotch mount was strangled and stood up, jumped forward a few steps, and rushed over with Dong Yu's shoulder.
"Dong Yu, it seems that your courage is still there!" Kang Zun jumped off the horse, and Ha Luha laughed.
"Kang Zun Xingluo Jie! Would you like to give it a try and see if my knife is there? Dong Yu said coldly, the right side of his face with the scar twitched distortedly, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent again.
Kang Zun Xingluo Jie, the patriarch of the Xingluo Jie Division. He was never ordained, but he was always dressed as a monk. He completely ignored Dong Yu's anger and said unceremoniously.
"Dong Yu, you brought so many soldiers here this time, do you want to avenge your revenge in Qingwei the day before yesterday?" Kang Zunxing Luo Jie was not afraid of Dong Yu and Mu Zheng behind him, the strength in his hands was enough for him to protect himself, and his tone of voice was on an equal footing with Dong Yu, "You have to be Zampu, I can help." But if you say that you will go to fight Guwei Village and avenge the Tuoshuo Department, I'm sorry, I won't accompany you. The people of my Xingluo Junction have never been prosperous, and they can't withstand such a toss. ”
Kang Zunxing's words made Dong Yu's reddish-brown face turn blood-red all of a sudden. It's just that in the blink of an eye, he is smiling, "What am I doing in Guwei Village." Don't you think the children in the family have died enough? ”
Dong Yu grinned, the hideous scar on his face didn't affect his smile, "What I'm going to deal with this time is the seven tribes that attacked the Tuoshuo Department with Wang Shao. The Song people are just that, since they are Tubo, they dare to stab me in the back, they will never be spared. My brother asked me to bring 600 people with me this time, all of whom were the most brave children in the family, and according to the Han people, he was a good man. It is to avenge that arrow"
"You borrowed soldiers from Mu Zheng?" Kang Zunxing Luo knot twisted his beard and smiled crookedly, "You have invested a lot of blood." ”
Although Mu Zheng and Dong Yu are brothers, they have already separated early. Each of them lived his own way, and even the people were divided. The last time in the Tuoshuo Department, the people who lost were actually Dong Yu's subordinates, and Mu Zheng was simply watching the excitement in Hezhou. And Dong Yu borrowed the elite of the six hundred clans from Mu Zheng this time, just like Kang Zunxing Luo Jie said, but he invested a lot of money.
"In this battle, I myself led 3,000 soldiers, and there were 600 elites borrowed by my brother, and there were also four or five hundred people, all of whom escaped from the Tuoshuo Department, and everyone was not afraid of death, thinking about revenge."
Kang Zun calculated, "Then there are 4,000 soldiers." ”
"My 4,000 soldiers, as well as Kang Zun's 2,000 sons, and Shizun also found several other tribes, adding up to 2,000 soldiers."
"Eight thousand?"
"Yes!" Dong Yu nodded vigorously, "There are a total of eight thousand troops, and it can be called twenty thousand horses to the outside world." I'll wait for tomorrow for someone to spread the word, and I, Dong Yu, want to avenge the revenge of the Tuoshuo Department this time. If Nazhi is in possession and the party orders the seven tribes can come to my horse early and kneel down and plead guilty, I can still spare them, if they dare to refuse my soldiers and refuse to surrender, I will destroy their whole clan! ”
After listening to Dong Yu's words, Kang Zunxing Luo Jie sneered: "I know that you dare to say this when you watched Liu Changzuo take his two thousand soldiers to Gangu City, and he couldn't come back in a hurry, so he dared to say so." But the area around Guwei is the territory of the Qingtang Ministry, and if you want to make a big deal here, do you think Yu Longke will agree? ”
Dong Yu shook his head: "This time, the Qingtang Department will never interfere, and Yu Longke will not be happy to see the Han people show off their power in Qingwei." ”
Kang Zunxing Luo Jie Ha laughed, and as soon as the laughter fell, his face turned cold again: "Yu Longke is a cunning fox, no one can guess his thoughts. If Dong Yu just guessed that he would stand aside and watch the excitement, I wouldn't send troops to help you. ”
Dong Yu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wu Qila, who had been silent, and decided to reveal a little news, "Blind medicine will bring troops!" Yu Longke has become less and less timid over the years, and he can't be frightened like a pheasant. In the Qingtang Ministry, the voices of support for his brother's blind medicine became louder and louder. With blind medicine, Yu Longke can't pull out. ”
Kang Zunxing Luo Jie laughed loudly when he heard this, "Why don't you say this earlier, and hide it." Since the Qingtang Department can't make a move, then what else is there to worry about. ”
The fake monk of the Xingluo Jiebu changed into a smiling face of a philistine, "I brought troops from home, and I also took a risk, if I can't take some good things back, my family will starve." Dong Yu, tell me, how much are you going to share with me? ”
On behalf of Dong Yu, Wu Qila replied: "When Qisong Dezan was here, Chang'an City allowed my Tubo army to enter and exit. Emperor Tang didn't have the money to reward us for helping him quell the rebellion, and he took Chang'an City as a reward. This time, as long as Kang Zun is willing to work hard, you can choose two tribes as a reward. ”
