Chapter 44: Dissenting Hearts

On the same day, when Bai Xiaode led 500 Anxi light cavalry and 600 large food cavalry to fight bloodily, Gu Xiaojun and his party also escorted the family of King Kangguo and arrived safely in Hushu City.

When Mino Nahime saw Gao Xianzhi, he immediately knelt down: "Mino Nahime, Queen of Slave Kang, meet the deputy capital of Anxi, and the four towns are handsome!" ”

"Hurry up." Gao Xianzhi spoke, and Yino-Nahime hurriedly stood up respectfully, with his hands hanging down and standing aside with his eyebrows lowered. Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "Queen Kang, sit down and talk." ”

"Xie Dashuai." Yoneno Nahime said busily.

"Tell me, why did the big cannibal arrest you?" Gao Xianzhi asked slowly.

"The handsome man asked, and the slave didn't dare to hide it." Yoneno Nahime said secretly in her heart, why did you arrest us, how could you not understand in your heart. She said with sincere fear: "The big cannibal caught the slave and the maid and the others, precisely to force the slave maid's husband, King Kangguo, to send troops against the king. ”

Gao Xianzhi snorted and said coldly: "So, the king of Kangguo is unwilling to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"That's true." Yoneno Nahime said nervously: "The Great Food is tyrannical, wantonly slaughtering the people of our Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms and robbing us of our property. Just last year, there was turmoil in the river, and Anguo and Mi sent troops to help the big cannibals quell the chaos. As a result, after the turmoil subsided, the king of Anguo was killed by the great cannibals. The husband of the slave and maid, together with the kings of Mi country, Shi country, and He country, immediately raised troops to resist, but he was not a big cannibal opponent, and was quickly suppressed. The king of the country of rice, the king of the country of Shi, along with more than a hundred Dehgan, were killed. The marshal may not know that the king of the rice country is the slave's brother-in-law, the younger brother of the slave. The husband of the slave and maid, the king of Kangguo, has a blood feud with the big cannibal, and he doesn't look forward to the early arrival of the Tang Dynasty and the big food robbers. ”

"But now that the Tang Dynasty is here, your husband, the king of Kangguo, is going to send troops with the big cannibals to fight against the king!" Gao Xianzhi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he stared coldly at Yoneno Nahime.

Yino-Nahime's heart sank, sweat broke out on her forehead, and she defended loudly: "He was forced, if you don't do what the big cannibal says, the big cannibal will kill us, and even kill him, and kill all the Dehgan outside the city of Samad." ”

Gao Xianzhi was suddenly furious, and his eyes became fierce: "Then he is not afraid of so-and-so, not afraid of Anxi Army?" If the big cannibals can kill you, can't the Anxi army kill you? ”

Yinonahime knelt on the ground again, and said stubbornly: "The slave's husband never dared to fight against the Tang Dynasty, but his life was pinched in the hands of the big cannibal, and he had to obey." ”

"So you're going to continue riding the wall like this?"

"Don't dare, we are all loyal to Datang."

"Hmph, being loyal to Datang is not just relying on your mouth, I want you to take practical actions."

"What does the marshal want the slave to do? All slaves and maids obeyed. ”

Gao Xianzhi looked at Yinonahime, who was kneeling on the ground, and his voice softened a little: "I want you to write a letter to your husband, stating that you have been rescued safely by the Anxi Army, and asking him to cooperate with our actions." A certain knows your difficulties, don't be aggressive and immediately rebel against the Great Eclipse, as long as he secretly contacts the other kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu, be prepared, and at a critical time, give the Great Cannibal a counterattack in the back. Would you like to? ”

Yoneno Nahime was overjoyed, as long as he didn't want to make a break with the big cannibal immediately. What's more, Gao Xianzhi was so thoughtful, just writing a letter and fighting back against the Great Eclipse at the right time, so what else would he not want to? She immediately bowed deeply and said loudly, "The slave is willing." ”

Soon Yoneno Nahime wrote a secret letter, took out a piece of jade pendant and handed it to Gao Xianzhi and said: "This jade pendant is a token of love between the slave and the slave, and when he sees this jade pendant, he knows that it is related to the slave and the maid." ”

Gao Xianzhi asked some more questions about Da Shi and Kang Guo Samujian's troops, and then asked someone to take her down and take care of her. He handed the letter and the jade pendant to Xiao Quai's hand, and sneered: "A group of wall grass. ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded and agreed: "They are the grass on the wall, let's say that the king of Dongcao set up Ahu, he received an order from Qi Yade, and is gathering troops to strengthen the city defenses, as soon as General Duan's soldiers and horses arrive, he will immediately open the city and surrender." If we had arrived a few days late, he would have surrendered to us, and if we had arrived a few days late, he would not have led his troops to join up with the Great Eclipse army and then become our enemy. I think they were also beaten badly, and they didn't dare to resist on either side. ”

"In that case, is there any way to fix it?" Gao Xianzhi said hatefully.

"There is no way to solve it, the Hu people are so natural, especially this group of Jiuguo Hu who have lost their fear." Xiao Quzhi frowned, shook his head and said, "We just need to remember this one, and we can't trust these Hu people too much when it's critical." And this time I went to contact Duai, how effective it is, I can't get my hopes up. Although they hate the big food, they also fear it. I'm going to contact them, and they're not going to do anything at all, but they're not going to rebel against the Eclipse right away, unless we beat it on the battlefield. At that time, they will have the determination and courage to fight back in the back. ”

"You're right, the key is who wins the battle between us and the Great Food." Gao Xianzhi nodded appreciatively, and then said, "Since you said that the Hu people are not very reliable, why do you want to bring three thousand Gelu cavalry to complete this plan with you this time?" ”

Xiao Quzhi smiled: "They are suitable, I want to use them, but I will always be wary of them, please rest assured, eldest brother." ”

Gao Xianzhi was still not at ease, and the two continued to discuss for a long time. In a military camp outside the city of Hubo, Amirjan also met his father, whom he had not seen for several days, Gellulu Yehudun Viga.

"Amir Jiang, you don't know yet, Gao Gao Cheng just ordered me to send three thousand horsemen to you to command, and follow that Xiao to the west to contain Da Shi and Zhaowu Jiu** team."

After meeting, the two told each other about their experiences these days. There is nothing to talk about, the city surrendered before the city was fought, and then it was to enter the city and plunder, share the spoils, etc. Amirjan's experience was much more exciting, and several times there were dangers, which made Don Viga tremble, applaud, and fear. He scolded in his heart, this Xiao Qubing is really a madman who is not afraid of heaven and earth. It was none of his business, but the madman liked to take his son on adventures, and Amirjan seemed to be very happy, much to the displeasure of Don Viga.

"Three thousand cavalry?" Amir Jiang's eyes widened and said: "How is it possible, the information we have obtained is that the Great Cannibal has gathered at least thirty or forty thousand troops in Butanna, and Xiao Hou also told me personally that the Great Cannibal is almost all soldiers, and more religious warriors can be summoned in case of emergency." How could the high school priest send 3,000 of us? ”

Dun Bijia sighed: "There are also the three thousand six hundred horsemen of the Duan Bei General who are now playing the striker, and the Zhaowu Nine ** team that temporarily took refuge in us. ”

Amir Jiang was stunned for a moment, and said loudly: "Then you still can't beat it, what about you?" ”

"It's said that you 6,000 people will be the strikers first, and Gao Cheng and us will follow." Don Biga made a gesture with a solemn face, and whispered, "But in fact, after you have set out, we will return to the city of Thirsty tomorrow, and then attack the city of Talas. He paused, then continued: "This is confidential military information, you just know it, don't leak it." ”

Amir Jiang said: "Whose idea was this?" Xiao Hou or high school Cheng? ”

Don Viga said: "It's that Xiao Quai, this person is a madman." ”

Amir Jiang smiled: "That's the case, then it's no problem." ”

"Why is there no problem, you just believe in that Xiao Quai?" Don Viga shook his head and sighed in his heart, "This son, everything is fine." Born with divine power since childhood, he is a one-in-a-million condor shooter when he grows up, and in terms of bravery, he is the first in the entire northwest grassland. The only drawback is that he is too simple and ignorant of the sinister nature of people's hearts, and he will have to suffer in the future.

This Gao Xianzhi's plan is clearly that the suspicious soldiers here will drag the main force of the big cannibal, so that Gao Xianzhi can take the main force of the Anxi Army to take Talas City as soon as possible. 6,000 people dragged the enemy tens of thousands of people, and it was on the opponent's territory, where is it so easy to do, if you don't get it right, it will be a total annihilation. The 3,600 men of the Anxi army died nothing, but why did the 3,000 elite cavalry of Gelulu die with them. Why didn't Ning Yuanguo's army do this task of blocking the enemy, or should all of it be done by the Anxi army?

This stupid son, doesn't he know that he sent troops to assist the Anxi Army this time to get benefits, not to be a substitute for the dead ghost (cannon fodder) to fight hard. In the past few years, Qarluq had a difficult life, and he was suppressed by the Uighur Khanate at every turn. If these 3,000 people were really all substitutes for the dead, plus the attack on the city of Talas, if another 1,000 were killed or wounded, it would be half of the loss. Without tribal warriors, no matter how many benefits Gao Xianzhi promised and how much territory he gave, he would not be crushed by the Uighurs.

All in all, these 3,000 people must not be sacrificed in vain. But Gao Xianzhi's military orders can't be disobeyed, the only way is to be vigilant at all times, follow first, if these 3,000 people are sent to death, they will resolutely not do it. This must be explained to Amir Jiang now.

Don Biga stared at Amir Jiang's eyes tightly, sighed a long time, and said seriously: "Amir Jiang, you are the son of Qarluq, and everything should be thought about Qarlu first, not based on personal likes and dislikes. I know that you are very compatible with that Xiao Quai, and he is also the only warrior you are convinced. But he is Han after all, and he thinks more about the gains and losses of the Anxi army, rather than for us.

Can't you see that? This task of yours is simply nine deaths, and when the time comes, he will take these 3,000 Gelulu cavalry as an outcast, sacrifice these 3,000 people, drag down the main force of Dashi, and win time for the main force of the Anxi army. It's their good plan, and you can't just do it. When the time comes, if he is really arranged like this, you must not be stupid, and really take these 3,000 people to death. I'll tell you directly, if that's the case, you should run away with these 3,000 cavalry. ”

"You want me to be a deserter?" Amirjan's face was full of consternation.

"You can't say that, if he doesn't arrange for these 3,000 people to die, you should cooperate with him. Otherwise, we wouldn't be to blame. Don Bija patiently explained: "You are not unaware of the situation of the Qarluqs, who have been suppressed by the Uighurs for the past few years. The 8,000 elite cavalry brought out this time, but more than half of the Qarlu were young and strong, if 3,000 died at once, Qarluq would be greatly injured, and what would he do against the Uighurs? ”

"But, aren't you afraid that high school will be held accountable after the fact?" Amir Jiang hesitated, still worried.

"So don't do that unless you have to. If he can complete this task without any damage, we will do our best to assist him, otherwise we will not be blamed. Don't worry about what happens afterwards, I have my own way afterwards, it's a big deal for us to move west...... This is far away, in short, you remember one thing, the life of the Qarluq warrior cannot be sacrificed casually! ”

Amir Jiang thought for a long time, and finally nodded: "I know." ”
