Chapter 109: Pacification of the Western Regions
Akinu was stunned by the sudden turn of events, and saw that the scimitar was about to slash through her neck, and at this critical moment, the iron egg screamed violently, and threw the giant axe in his hand towards Turu with all his strength! It was with this axe that he had left the Turkic Assassin behind.
The sound of the wind sent chills through his body, and he was sensitive to the threat of death.
He turned around quickly, barely able to hold the scimitar to his chest before he felt a tremendous force coming from the scimitar in his hand.
"Bang!"
The scimitar was knocked away in an instant, and the giant axe came unabated, and the back of the axe smashed straight into Tulu's chest, and the sound of broken bones accompanied by Tulu's screams made Tulu's scalp tingle when he heard it.
Tulu was smashed by a giant axe and flew several meters to the ground, forced half of his body to spit out a mouthful of blood, and then fell down again, unconscious. Even though he was physically strong, he was hit by the giant axe thrown by Iron Egg with all his might, and his sternum was shattered and he was seriously injured. If it hadn't been for the last moment with a scimitar to block, then it would not be the back of the axe that smashed into his chest, but the blade of the axe, and I am afraid that the first warrior of the Western Regions who survived from the hands of the wolves would have been disemboweled.
From the moment Turu suddenly rushed towards Akinu to the moment he was knocked unconscious by an iron egg axe, Akinu's face even retained the previous horror.
It wasn't until Iron Egg walked in front of her and picked up the giant axe that had fallen beside Tulu that Aqi Nu reacted and broke out in a cold sweat.
Mora, who led the Xizhou soldiers to surround him, was shocked for a moment and shouted: "Tie up Tulu, go back and tell Lord Changsun, and say that the guards of the deputy envoy have captured the first warrior of the Western Regions!" ”
Mora didn't fight for credit, and so many people saw that it was the Iron Egg that defeated Tulu. In their hearts, Tie Dan has become the new number one warrior in the Western Regions. Who dares to compete with him for credit. Besides, Iron Egg also came with his own people, so how could he not have his own share of the credit for capturing Tulu.
After eliminating all the Turkic soldiers, Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji rested for a while, then turned on their horses and continued to chase Tulu who fled, but they got the news that Tulu was captured halfway, both of them were extremely surprised, Tulu was very powerful, they knew very well, if he wanted to escape, he really didn't know who could stop him.
Since Tulu was captured, Cheng Yanjin and Hou Junji had no intention of fighting, and snorted coldly at each other and took their own people towards Xizhou.
A sergeant brought by Cheng Yanjin took Chu Niang to Cheng Chuliang and said, "We saved a Han woman from the Turkic soldiers, what should we do?" ”
Cheng Chuliang glanced at the poor Chu Niang and felt amazed. However, as the captain of the horse, he didn't have any special thoughts, and said casually: "Bring it back to Xizhou and hand it over to Zixin to deal with." ”
Wang Xiang is now carrying out urban reconstruction in Xizhou, and he is also responsible for the personnel arrangement.
These sergeants and Cheng Chuliang were not thoughtful people, otherwise they would have wondered why a Han woman appeared in the 300,000-strong army of the Turkic Southern Expedition, and even when the army retreated, Tulu took this Han woman with him all the way.
Chu Niang knew how to protect herself very well, and when she saw that the situation was not good, she put on a panicked and pitiful look, and sure enough, no one doubted her, and the Tang army regarded her as an ordinary woman who was captured by the Turkic soldiers.
Back in Xizhou, Cheng Biting Jin and Hou Junji learned that it was Wang Xiang's guard Tie Dan who captured Tulu, Cheng Biting Jin was not dissatisfied, and laughed and praised Wang Xiang's guards for their bravery. Hou Junji became more and more jealous of Wang Xiang, and in his opinion, Wang Xiang took away his credit.
Hearing Cheng Yanjin's personal confirmation that the Turkic army of 300,000 had been defeated, everyone was completely relieved. With a smile on his face, anyone who is pressed by the 300,000 army will not feel relaxed, but now that the Turks are defeated, everything else is much simpler.
Cheng Yanjin brought Li Shimin's official will, because Ju Yiya was worried about Ju Wenya's safety, so the eldest grandson Wuji immediately sent someone to Gaochang Wangcheng to read Li Shimin's will.
Sure enough, when the person who announced the decree had not yet arrived in the Gaochang royal city, Ju Wentai learned the news of the Turkic defeat, Tuku did not know the life and death of the Tuku, and the first warrior Tulu in the Western Regions was also captured by the Tang army, Ju Wentai was panicked all day long, and the person who was waiting for the decree went to the Gaochang palace to read Li Shimin's will The cowardly and incompetent Ju Wentai compromised without the slightest resistance in order to save his life, and took the initiative to give way to Ju Wenya, and he was ready to enter Chang'an to ask Li Shimin for his guilt, and I am afraid that it will be impossible to leave Chang'an in the future.
Pacifying Gaochang is much simpler than imagined, except for a few Ju Wentai's cronies who resist slightly, the whole Gaochang has not caused much turmoil at all, in fact, many Gaochang people are very envious of the life of the people of Xizhou, in their opinion, it may be a better choice for the king of Xizhou to be the king of Gaochang.
After pacifying Gaochang, the eldest grandson Wuji sent people to Yanqi to send them a lot of daily necessities, and this time Yanqi was greatly damaged.
When everything calmed down, Cheng Biting Jin escorted Tulu back to Chang'an, not that Cheng Biting Jin didn't want to fight the Turks, but it was really almost useless to bring the Tianleizi brought this time, otherwise it would be impossible to beat the 300,000 Turkic army with only 3,000 soldiers and horses.
The eldest grandson Wuji only stayed for two more days and waited until Ju Wenya returned to Xizhou and talked with him secretly for a few hours, and then was escorted back to Chang'an by Hou Junji, and when he went back, he was stunned that he didn't find Begonia, which made Hou Junji anxious and annoyed, if it wasn't for Begonia's handwritten letter, he was really worried that something would happen to Begonia.
After Ju Wenya became the king of Gaochang, Xizhou was designated as the royal city of Gaochang, which was a strong support for Wang Xiang's renovation work.
Wang Xiang of the Western Regions can finally carry out his great development of the Western Regions with peace of mind, Zhang Kuishan was left by him, and his original position was temporarily held by the deputy general Li Chen, and when the eldest grandson Wuji returned to Chang'an, he would soon be able to officially become the commander of Huaiyuan Town.
Zhang Kuishan originally wanted to be transferred to Chang'an to enjoy the prosperity and wealth of Chang'an, but Wang Xiang was left in Xizhou, and he still complained a lot, but after hearing Wang Xiang say that he would be in charge of the trade market of the entire Western Regions in the future, he became excited.
Once all the countries of the Western Regions establish a trade market, then the trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions will become very convenient, and the trade routes between Chang'an and the Western Regions will be unimpeded, and the prosperous Western Regions that Chang'an has will soon be able to enjoy.
After the news of Tiedan's defeat of Tulu, the first warrior in the Western Regions, spread, he suddenly became a hero-like figure, eating and drinking well under the service of Aqinu every day, and living a happy life, but Wang Xiang, the young master, had to work every day to establish a trade market, which was really a fool and a fool.
However, Wang Xiang got another good helper, a Han woman rescued by the Tang Army from the Turkic soldiers, she was very amazing, and her flexible mind really helped him a lot. (To be continued......)
