Chapter 30: Gu

Fujiwara's impassioned words aroused Sarutobi Shinzo's response, and he also said loudly: "An~Beijun, don't you know? The rapid development of Datang in the past two years is based on the suffering of many other countries.

Don't look at him, King Lanling was regarded as a saint by millions of people in Dugi Province, and he did let the nearly two million people in Dugi Province eat well, dress well, and play well, but he killed people and set fire in the South China Sea, exchanged the cheapest goods to the South China Sea for slaves to dig gold and silver mines in Japan, and went to the land of the river meanders and the east of the river to dig coal.

He, King Lanling, has no mercy for people who are not the Tang Dynasty, so how can he treat us Japan well? From the fact that he blockaded our coast and forbade the Tang people to sell things to us, it can be seen that he Lanling King does not want us Japan to become strong, and our Japan is also the object of being plundered and enslaved by him, and you still have that kind of unrealistic hope for him!

An~Beijun, don't forget, King Lanling despises us from the bottom of his bones and looks down on us Japanese! ”

Sarufei Jinzo said it spittingly, no one knows, he and Fujiwara Zhiyi, as well as more than eighty percent of the Japanese, in their hearts are extremely identified with Xiao Quai's overseas plunder, overseas colonization model, or simply envy and jealousy.

Why didn't we Japanese go to the South China Sea to plunder and enslave those South China Sea savages!

An~ Bei Qingming sat up straight again, what Ape Fei Jinzo said was the truth, and he himself was not without envy and jealousy of his Datang, and he also had a lot of resentment towards Datang for not letting Japan go to the South China Sea again, but at the same time, he knew that Datang was too powerful, and King Lanling was too powerful.

He couldn't help but burst into tears. After half the salary, he said, "For the future of Japan." Even if I give it all, it's worth it. Just hope God bless Japan! ”

Fujiwara Zhiyi's eyes, there are also tears flashing, not long ago his pregnant wife was about to give birth, but it happened that that night, the earth dragon turned over, the earth shook and the mountains shook everywhere, and then Mitsuko died in childbirth, all because of this cursed land......

Fujiwara stood up for the second time. The voice said faintly: "An excessively powerful Datang is the biggest disaster in our country!"

That Youzhou Hu does not know how to learn and has no skills, he only knows how to pretend to be ugly and flattering, he succeeded in rebellion, and the ruling Tang Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty has been divided since then, which is the most in line with the interests of our Japanese country, there is no doubt about this.

Therefore, as long as that Youzhou Hu can really kill the Lanling King this time, we must do everything we can. Help that Youzhou Hu to make ~ anti-success. To help him is to help us ourselves...... This is our best chance to get rid of the oppression of Datang. Gentlemen. Whether we catch it or let it go depends on our efforts this time......"

And Ape Fei Jinzo's eyes lit up: "Heaven ~ God bless, for the future of Japan, King Lanling must die!" ”

"Ahh Thirty miles south of Jianchuan, four thousand miles away, in the Tang army camp, Xiao Qubing suddenly sneezed loudly.

"What's wrong with you?" A sixteen-year-old girl named Zhu Ling'er asked with a smile: "Will the invincible heroes of the world also suffer from the wind?" ”

Xiao Quzhi shook his head with a smile, and said: "How come, someone must miss me, in fact, I have been on the expedition for so long, I also miss my wife, and my one-and-a-half-year-old son, you don't know how well-behaved and cute he is, his favorite is lifted up by me, and then pinched my ears to play with ......"

Since four days ago, when the 7,000 Heavenly Ce Army almost completely annihilated the 10,000 Tubo to lure the enemy's forwards, the Tang and Tubo sides have gone from trying to ambush each other to facing each other across the Jianchuan River.

The Tubo army did not dare to leave Jianchuan and go south, since Wang Zhongsi annihilated the 200,000 main force of Tubo eight years ago, until now, the record of the Tubo army against the Tang army is nine defeats in ten battles, not to mention the prestige of the Tiance army, even if Enlan Dazarugong, the first general of Tubo, even if the Tubo army has an absolute advantage in numbers, they still dare not fight head-on with the Tiance army.

The Tang army did not dare to go north to Jianchuan to fight with Tubo, which was different from attacking Nanzhao, Nanzhao Longwei City, Longshou Pass was fixed there, and the Nanzhao soldiers were all concentrated in the hinterland of Nanzhao to hold on, so the Tiance army only needed to directly and brutally fight all the way to Longwei City and camp nearby.

The fight against Tibet is different, the remaining 70,000 Tubo troops can retreat at any time, and the more they retreat, the more beneficial it is for them, the Tiance army must fight a movement war to destroy them, if the local natives of the Jianchuan barbarians all support the Tibetans, then the threat to the Tiance army fighting the movement war will be fatal.

The only way is to let all these barbarians entrenched in Jianchuan belong to the Tang Dynasty again, or kill them all, so that the back road of the Tiance army can be safe, and the method adopted by Xiao Quzhi is the former.

Fortunately, the Huairou method adopted by Xiao Quzhi is very effective.

10,000 Tubo troops went south to Jianchuan to lure the enemy, and 70,000 Tubo troops set up pocket formations in Jianchuan to wait to annihilate the enemy, but as a result, 10,000 Tubo troops who were used as bait only fled back in embarrassment, and they were all frightened, saying that the commander of the Tang army, the king of Lanling in the Tang Dynasty, had the courage of ten thousand people, and the Tang army was all heavenly soldiers and generals.

With this example in front, it is clear which of the Tubo army and the Tang army is strong and weak, and besides, the Tubo is brutal, and the barbarians of Jianchuan have no choice but to take refuge in Tubo, and they have to endure the heavy taxes and exploitation of Tubo.

And Datang is benevolent, and he almost did not collect taxes from the state before, and it is also clear which is better and which is bad. Besides, the Tiance Army completely destroyed the Nanzhao regime in the first battle, killed 60,000 enemies, and the rest of the Nanzhao soldiers were all reduced to slaves, Ge Luofeng's whole family was beheaded, and he himself was also provoked to break his hands and feet to capture Chang'an, which can be regarded as avenging these barbarians entrenched in Jianchuan and getting angry.

Therefore, the people sent by Xiao Qubing did not encounter much resistance in Jianchuan, so they met the leaders of the barbarians, and they talked very speculatively. The only worry of the other party is that the 10,000 Tubo army is in Jianchuan, and 60,000 is north of Jianchuan. The second is that he is worried about being deceived, and asks Xiao Quzhi to express his sincerity, and the way to express his sincerity is for Xiao Quzhi to quietly go to Jianchuan in person and swear an oath with the barbarian leaders.

Xiao Quai's camp here at this moment is to prepare to go to Jianchuan tomorrow and swear an oath with the barbarian leaders. And Zhu Ling'er heard about it. Dead or alive must follow. said that she was proficient in the barbarian language, and also said that she could help Xiao Qu's illness, for example, she concocted some herbs to give Xiao Qu's illness a bath, which was said to prevent all Gu worms from invading the skin or nostrils within two days.

"It's cute." Zhu Ling'er listened to Xiao Quai's speech with a smile while concocting herbs until the concoction was completed. started to heat up, and she said quietly: "So, the prince really hopes to finish the fight quickly, and then go back early, right?" ”

"It's nature." Xiao Quzhi said with a smile, and then looked at her so seriously, and felt very curious, and said, "Ling'er, I didn't expect you to understand this at such a young age?" ”

Zhu Ling'er explained: "There are too many people who can use Gu here, and we use it best. The most powerful is the girl who knows the edict. And the one who is best at preventing and controlling Gu poison is Bai Ziguo. Ling'er's grandmother is the saint who is the best at healing Gu poison in Baizi Kingdom. ”

There is another holy daughter, Liqisi is a Zoroastrian saint, Ling'er's grandmother is a saint of Baiziguo, it seems that Zhu Lingqian should also be the so-called saint.

Xiao Quzhi asked, "Bai Ziguo, what is it?" ”

Zhu Ling'er said: "Before the Baizi Kingdom flourished, the leader of the alliance of the White Barbarian tribes, and later the Mengshe Zhao was strong, and he replaced the position of the king of the Baizi Kingdom when the alliance was formed.

As for the origin of Baiziguo, listen to my mother, but also from the Three Kingdoms period, I heard that it was the time of Zhuge Wuhou of Shu when he conquered the south, and after capturing Meng Shu, he set up the local Longyou Na as the chieftain and gave the surname Zhang, so he owned Yunnan, and then called Baiguo.

The white barbarians are different from the Wuman, the Wuman are native savages born and raised in the local mountains and forests, and the Baiman is the local aborigines of the Baizi Kingdom, and the Han people who fled here at the end of the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Jin Dynasty merged and intermarried with each other.

For example, north of Jianchuan before, there was a man named Han Shangman, who was basically Han Chinese; Now the trouser barbarians living in Jianchuan are also mainly Han people, but here, they are all called white barbarians. Bai Ziguo is the leader of all these large and small white barbarian tribes.

Bai Man and Wu Man many times, it is inevitable to live together, such as Luo Zhizhao and other Wu Barbarians like to use Gu poison very much, often there are people from the Bai Barbarian tribe who are injured by Gu poison, so Bai Ziguo, as the leader of the White Barbarian Alliance, naturally has to continue to study how to solve Gu and how to prevent Gu poison.

Ling'er's A-Niang was widely supported and elected as the leader because she was the best at detoxifying Gu and preventing Gu poison. ”

Xiao Qu was sick for a while, no wonder the same local people, Bai Man's cultural and technological level is much higher than that of Wu Man, the reason is that Bai Man has absorbed the culture and technology brought by the Han people.

Also for this reason, the social system of the white barbarians is also more advanced, the white barbarians are closer to the feudal society, and the black barbarians are pure slave societies.

At the same time, Xiao Quzhi sighed again, in the case of a small gap in science and technology, the more advanced cannot beat the more backward, and the civilization cannot beat the barbarism.

From the rise of Nanzhao to the establishment of the Dali State by the Duan clan, in the past few hundred years, these white barbarians have been enslaved by the barbarian rule for hundreds of years.

In fact, in another time and space, China's history has also occurred several times in the tragedy of backwardness defeating the advanced and barbarizing civilization annihilation. Of course, the main reason for this is that the Han Central Plains Dynasty died by itself, but if the gap in science and technology is bigger, so big that these barbarians can't master it, then no matter how the Han Central Plains Dynasty dies, at most it will be its own people to fight its own people, and it will not be beaten by outsiders.

Therefore, Xiao Quzhi thought about vigorously developing science and technology in Datang, and after pacifying the world, he would spend more time on teaching and educating people, and as for how to prevent his own people from dying, he would raise it by himself and hand it over to Li Qi and other students to discuss.

Thinking a little too much, Xiao Quzhi smiled and came back to his senses, glanced at Zhu Ling'er, for some reason, the little girl's face was faintly red, and she looked more and more radiant, and Xiao Quzhi was also a little itchy in her heart.

Then I thought of He Ke'er again, and thought that I didn't really like Zhu Ling'er much, but I sympathized and didn't hate it, even if I wanted to accept it, I didn't accept it at this time, if I got along, I liked her more, and it was not too late to accept it, but not now, and then quickly drove that little thought away.

After the medicinal soup was heated, it quickly cooled to a suitable temperature, and Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "Okay, Ling'er, you can go out." ”

Zhu Ling'er almost cried and said: "You can't wipe it, let Ling'er help you scrub it, you have to wash and wipe your head and face, especially your hair, it's easiest for Gu worms to take advantage of it." ”

Xiao Quzhi thought about it, so he didn't shirk anymore, took off his clothes and soaked in the water with a pair of shorts. Xiao Quai's body is far more sensitive than ordinary people, and he immediately feels that there is a stimulating medicinal power that drills into his body through his pores, and it hurts a little, but he feels very comfortable after a careful experience.

"It's comfortable." Zhu Ling'er began to wash his hair with a water scoop, and his smooth fingertips massaged all over his scalp, the strength was just right, and Xiao Qu called out comfortably.

Zhu Ling'er looked at Xiao Quai's sturdy body in the soup bucket, her body was slightly hot, and she heard Xiao Quai's cry of comfort, so she was even happier to scrub Xiao Quai's illness.

After taking the potion bath, Xiao Quzhi dried his body behind the screen, changed into a set of clothes, and then said: "Ling'er, you said that my body smells so strong, tomorrow those barbarian leaders of Jianchuan will not say that I am too defensive against them, and I am not happy." ”

Zhu Ling'er smiled and said: "This smell can be dissipated a lot tomorrow, besides, you are the prince of the Tang Dynasty, the body of ten thousand gold, and it is enough to be condescending to the dangerous place in person, showing sincerity, it is appropriate to take some precautions, how can they be unhappy?" ”

Xiao Qu thought about it, picked up his watch and looked at it, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and then said: "It's late at night, Ling'er, go to sleep, I have to rest too." ”

So Zhu Ling'er walked out with a red face, and the two armor soldiers outside the tent saw her come out and looked at each other with strange expressions.

And at this time, Xiao Quzhi was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, but he felt that his spirit was surprisingly good, Xiao Quzhi felt that something was wrong, and there was always some itching in his heart, I don't know if it was a psychological effect or a medicinal bath, and when he closed his eyes, he always thought about Zhu Ling'er's radiant face and graceful figure.

Xiao Quzhi hurriedly got up and meditated, and soon eliminated these thoughts, and his body became relaxed and ethereal again, but as soon as he lay down, his heart was itchy again, and there was some feeling of blood and qi surging.

Could it be that Zhu Ling'er drugged herself by taking a bath?

Xiao Quzhi was thinking about it, when he heard someone coming outside, trying to listen quietly, it was Zhu Ling'er, and after a while, she opened the curtain, carried a lamp, and walked in, and the two looked at each other.

Xiao Quzhi saw that her face was so red that she was almost dripping blood, her eyes were watery and shiny, and she didn't understand what was going on, so she couldn't help but react suddenly.

About five or six seconds later, Xiao Quzhi quickly jumped out of bed, picked up Zhu Ling'er, and the two looked at each other closely, their hearts thumping together, and time seemed to stand still......

At the same time, the two armor soldiers outside the tent also looked at each other, making eye contact, the night wind blew Buddha, the leaves gently sounded, the stars in the sky kept blinking, and the night was quiet.

A moment later, a girl's cry suddenly sounded in the night, which woke up a resident bird in a tree not far away, and flew with its wings and quacked.

The two of Xiao Quai's guards glanced at each other, and quickly turned their heads away. (To be continued.) )
