After the Anshi Rebellion, An Chongzhang had the same surname as An Lushan due to shame, and changed his surname to Li Baoyu. His younger brother was changed to Li Baozhen.

Li Baoyu stuck to Heyang in the Anshi Rebellion, and after the war, he concurrently served as the envoy of Zelu Jiedu, Fengxiang Jiedu, and Shannan Xidao Jiedu, and at the same time served as Sandao Jiedu, and was in charge of Fengxiang, Luzhou, and Liangzhou, and served as the three dukes. Tang Dynasty Zong once named him the king of Wuwei County, and he was not awarded the title of Duke of Liangguo, and guarded Fengxiang Mansion for more than ten years, repeatedly resisting the attacks of the Tubo Empire.

And his brother Li Baozhen, who was thirty years younger, concurrently served as the envoy of the Luze Festival and the Zhaoyi Festival during the Tang Dezong period. Li Baozhen is scheming and scheming, Corporal Lixian, with a well-trained army in Shandong Sanzhou, an external resistance rebel army, and an internal security sergeant. At that time, the world said that the infantry of the Zhaoyi Army trained by Li Baozhen was the strongest among all armies.

The reason why Gu Yuanxi said that Li Baozhen and Wang Wujun were good friends who loved and killed each other was because in the "Four Towns Rebellion" of Tang Dezong in later generations, Li Baozhen was ordered to crusade against Wang Wujun, the envoy of the Chengde Army, and persuaded Wang Wujun to surrender to the court in the war. Later, after Tang Dezong fled to Fengtian in the "Jingyuan Change", Li Baozhen took a few cavalry to the Chengde military camp to persuade Wang Wujunqin Wang. Speaking of Dezong going out to take refuge, he hugged Wang Wujun and cried, tears flowed, Wang Wujun also cried, and the people around him were also moved. So he and Wu Jun were about brothers, and swore to destroy the thieves together. The two joined forces to attack Zhu Tao, the envoy of Youzhou Jiedu, who betrayed the imperial court, and defeated Youzhou, Jizhou, Hui, and Khitan cavalry.

At this time, the pair of sworn brothers who fell in love and killed each other in later history had rushed to the battle to fight.

An Baozhen, under Xin Yunjing's order, rushed to Wang Wujun first. He clenched a horizontal knife with both hands, which, in Gu Yuanxi's opinion, was very similar to the water dragon Tang knife that existed in the Shosoin in Japan in later generations.

Wang Wujun tightened his horse's head and ran back, and after rushing out of a certain distance, he drew his bow and arrows.

The white feather arrow came out of his horned bow, and with a "whoosh" sound, it went straight to the top of An Baozhen's head with lightning speed. An Baozhen's face changed when he saw this, but he also lay down on the horse's head quickly, and he was finally in danger.

"This Wang Wujun is so young, so ruthless!" Nan Jiyun on the side couldn't help but grit his teeth and hate: "It's just a matter of fighting for breath, the same imperial army, can you be so ruthless that you really want to take people's lives?" ”

Jianning King Li Qi and Gu Yuanqing also frowned secretly. And today, the main body of Taiyi's hunting, the dignitaries of the Tang Empire, were cheering when they saw this scene. In Gu Yuanxi's view, that kind of scene was like the mood of the nobles of the ancient Roman Empire watching the bloody struggle of slaves in the Colosseum.

Gu Yuanxi was extremely depressed, these feudal army generals would openly fight privately at such a grand aristocratic hunting banquet, but no one in this group of noble dignitaries realized this terrible. Although the border troops of these two towns did not intend to provoke on the scene of this aristocratic salon, it was just a kind of ruffian nature that came from within. However, this kind of military nature formed an atmosphere of military dominance after the Anshi Rebellion, and this kind of military dominance lasted for two hundred years.

It's just that at present, these high-class nobles of the Tang Empire are like Roman nobles sitting in front of the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and regard such scenes as a kind of entertainment. But just as after Spartacus broke out of Mount Vesuvius and defeated the Roman army, the Roman aristocratic oligarchs learned that the slaves in the Colosseum who played with fish and flesh also had the power to turn the world upside down. More than ten years later, this group of border warriors who were regarded as ignorant country puppets by the nobles of the Tang Dynasty also trampled on the dignity of the Chang'an nobles.

At this time, after An Baozhen dodged Wang Wujun's cold arrow, he was angry at a young age, and under a long roar, he waved the water dragon horizontal knife and galloped towards Wang Wujun. With the momentum of the pressure knife, he slashed down from top to bottom on the top of Wang Wujun's head.

Wang Wujun didn't dare to be careless, but he held the bow in his left hand, and it was obviously too late to take the saber from the saddle at this time. Without thinking, he raised the horn bow with both hands to support it upward, and after a "clang", the horn bow in Wang Wujun's hand broke in response, and then there was a "bell", and the leather armor on Wang Wujun's chest was also cut with a small knife mark.

Fortunately, although Wang Wujun only wore leather armor because of today's hunting, and did not wear iron armor with higher defensive power, An Baozhen was only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy with limited strength. Under the cover of Wang Wujun's horned bow and leather armor, the sword under the blow of the effort had already removed his impact power. Therefore, at the same time as cutting through Wang Wujun's leather armor, the damage from the power of his horizontal sword would end there.

"Haha!" Although An Baozhen is a young man who has not yet done anything, it is impossible for him to really want to take his life, so he will accept it when he sees it, but he arrogantly shot at Pinglu Jun and said provocatively: "But that's it." Is there anyone else in the Pinglu Army? ”

Hearing this, Yin Ziqi and the generals of the Pinglu Army were all cold, and their faces were gloomy.

"An Baozhen, don't be arrogant!" A burly young general, about sixteen or seventeen years old, danced like an iron spear in his hand, shouting at An Baozhen and the Hexi Army: "An Baozhen, I, Zhang Alao, will meet you!" ”

Yin Ziqi was overjoyed, so he shouted loudly: "This person Zhang Xiaozhong, formerly known as Alao, is a member of the Xi tribe. He once defeated the nine Turks with An Shuai, and is now promoted to Zhangyuan Mansion. This person is famous for his bravery Yan Zhao, and he is as famous as Wang Wujun. ”

Gu Yuanxi's heart was shocked. Zhang Xiaozhong, after the Anshi Rebellion, followed the Chengde Festival to make Li Baochen return to the Tang Dynasty, and won the trust of Li Baochen with his bravery, good fighting, prudence and stability. In Tang Dezong, he became the first envoy of Yiding Festival and was named the king of Fanyang County. Unlike Wang Wujun and other feudal towns that rebelled and intended to secession, Zhang Xiaozhong has been loyal to the Li Tang royal family since his surrender to the imperial court, and sent troops to serve the king when Fengtian was in trouble. Like Tian Hongzheng, the Wei Bojie envoy of the Guishun Imperial Court during the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty, he was quite appreciated in the Tang Dynasty.

"On the same level as Wang Wujun?" After An Baozhen heard the words of Yan Zhao, who was finally famous for his bravery, and was as famous as Wang Wujun, he glanced disdainfully at Wang Wujun, who was lying on the horse and ready to return to the battle, and smiled coldly: "Since you are as famous as Wang Wujun, I'm afraid you don't have any great skills, you better go back." lest you bring shame upon yourself! ”

"Piff!" Wang Wujun was originally cleaning up and returning to the battle, but he was so humiliated by An Baozhen, he suddenly jumped like thunder, he immediately turned his horse's head, took out his saber and shouted angrily: "An Baozhen, An dares to underestimate and humiliate me!" ”

Zhang Xiaozhong, who was next to him, was also angry when he heard it. At the moment, I can't care about the bullshit that less wins more, and that victory is not martial. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, each attacked bravely.

Wang Wujun chewed his tongue with his halberd, and under his anger, a short knife pierced and cut in, and he was shocked to take it down, which made An Baozhen feel very difficult. What's more, Zhang Xiaozhong next to him is also a brave and good general, and the iron gun in his hand is stabbed one by one, and the silver light is shining.

Not long after the battle with the second general of Pinglu, An Baozhen was already out of breath and couldn't bear it. Seeing this, Lei Wanchun, who was outside the circle, laughed and said, "An Baozhen, this kid's defeat has been revealed." Although it is a bit crazy, it is rare to be able to hold out for these few rounds in front of these two generals of similar level. ”

Nan Jiyun also nodded and said, "It's not simple." These three are not simple. Although they are still young, their respective martial arts seem to be a little young and refined, but with the tempering of actual combat over time, they will definitely be more than that. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity. Even if I knew that such an interesting scene would happen, I should have set up a lottery to win or lose the bet. A young purple-robed man in the crowd suddenly sighed.

"Yes, yes, yes." Another young purple-robed man next to him sighed when he heard this: "Brother Wang is right. If we had set up a fair earlier, we would have placed bets one after another, winning or losing a bet, wouldn't it be much more interesting than just watching it here? ”

Gu Yuanxi was disgusted for a while when he heard this, but seeing that these two gentlemen were young but could wear purple robes, he thought that they must be the emperor's grandson of which family, so he squeezed Li Qi next to him and asked, "Who are these two hundred and five?" ”

"Two hundred and five?" Li Qi frowned slightly, obviously he didn't understand Gu Yuanxi's vocabulary, but after a little hesitation, he still said: "The one in front is the eldest son of Li Shouli, the king of Guangwu County, Li Chenghong. His second brother Li Chengning is the heir of the king. The younger sister Li Nunu is the princess of Jincheng who is close to Tibet. And the purple-robed man in the back is Li Yu, the king of Hue County, who is the fourth son of Li Yan, the king of my fourth emperor's uncle. ”

Gu Yuanxi nodded, revealing an expression that was the same, his eyes swept towards the two county kings, but he could hear that the other nobles next to him agreed with the remorse after hearing the bastards of these two county kings, and couldn't help but feel upset.

On the field, An Baozhen was already exhausted under the attack of Wang Wujun and Zhang Xiaozhong, and Lei Wanchun had already asserted that after three moves, An Baozhen would not be able to hold on and lose.

The warriors of the Hexi Army showed their desire to fight to the main general Xin Yunjing. After Xin Yunjing stared intently at An Baozhen and the three of them, he waved his hand and said to a general beside him: "Tuoba Chaoguang, the time has come to win glory for Wang Jieshuai and the Hexi Army." ”

The general called Tuoba Chaoguang suddenly showed a look of ecstasy, he swallowed his saliva, raised his head and said: "Xin Shaoqing, don't worry, I'll go and catch these two Pinglu Army puppies back and stew them." ”

Xin Yunjing was amused by his nonsense and rude words, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." Remember to be measured. ”

Tuoba Chaoguang nodded, and with a big long axe in his hand, he turned over and shouted: "Khitan, Xi children, your grandfather Tuoba Chaoguang is also here." With that, he sprinted away.

Xin Yunjing smiled slightly, and introduced to Pinglu Jun: "This Fan Er is called Tuoba Chaoguang. The leader of the Dangxiang clan, the right supervisor of the gate, and the son of the Xiping Gong Tuoba Shou Lonely. At present, he is serving as a captain in the Fan Army in Hexi Town. ”

There was no surprise to the crowd. Among the three people currently fighting, Zhang Xiaozhong is a member of Xi Renyi's inactivated department; Wang Wujun is a member of the Khitan Nu tribe; And since An Baozhen is the great-great-grandson of An Xiuren, the general of Zuowu Hou during the Wude period, then he must also be a descendant of the An Guohu people of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms. Now it is not uncommon to add a party clan general. Even if the four generals of the two towns are all Hu people, it can't arouse the curiosity of this group of nobles in the slightest.

Only Gu Yuanxi knows...... After the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, due to the invasion of Longyou in Hexi by Tubo, the party was ordered by the Tang court to migrate to the east of Xiazhou and the north of Yinzhou.

Perhaps, compared with An Baozhen, Wang Wujun, and Zhang Xiaozhong, the three bigwigs who were famous in the Middle Tang Dynasty and became a feudal town, Tuoba Chaoguang was not much unusual, nor did he have any great prestige. But only Gu Yuanxi, who came from later generations, knew that more than 200 years later, there was a famous figure among the descendants of Tuoba Chaoguang, his name was Li Yuanhao, and he established the "Baigao Daxia Kingdom", also known as the "Western Xia Baishang Kingdom".
