The fifteenth moon is sixteen round, and the last round of the bright full moon of Tianbao's ten years hangs high in the sky, under the firmament, the wind is whistling, and the sky and the earth are white, exhaling into ice. It is only 800 miles away from Chang'an, but it seems to be two worlds.

Because of the three-way army that wanted to avoid Xiao Quai's illness on the road, he went around in a big circle, and the white-clothed swordsman Zhang Xiancheng took two first-class masters, although one person and three horses were non-stop, but it was still less than ninety miles ahead of Xiao Quai's middle army.

Two and a half days after Xiao Qu's illness will be on the expedition, at two o'clock on the evening of the sixteenth day of the tenth lunar month of Tianbao, the chief of Hu Da of Liuzhou, located in Yanen County, Youzhou, the Tang Dynasty Youzhou Assassin Shi Kang Shennu, received the news brought by Zhang Xiancheng.

Kang Shennu is a man in his forties, a typical yellow-haired and purple-bearded Zhaowu Jiu, and he is also the oldest and most trusted godson of An Lushan.

An Lushan has more than 8,000 godsons, and naturally there will be relatives who are distant and close, for example, 8,000 Luluo River is only nominal, and An Lushan may not be able to name a few;

The 100 servants who joined the snake tooth were much closer, and at least more than seventy percent of the fat people could be named.

But Kang Shennu and Kang Black Slave are different, they and An Lushan are not only the relationship between their fathers and sons, but also real relatives, to be precise, they are all An Lushan's own nephews.

An Lushan's father was born in Liuzhou Hu, and he had a wife and children in Liuhu Prefecture, and he later came to Northeast Yingzhou with a caravan to do business, and met and hooked up with the local Turkic wizard who danced the great god, that is, An Lushan's wife, and gave birth to An Lushan.

An Lushan's half-brother, Kang Tietou, the father of Kang Shennu and Kang Heinu, was a small leader who followed the then Hu chief of Liuzhou Kang Zhibin to rebel thirty years ago.

Kang Tietou was stabbed in the thigh by a horse lance in the process of quelling the rebellion of the Tang general Wang Hui, became disabled, and has always held a grudge against the Tang Dynasty.

Later, Kang Tietou died depressed in the Jianghuai penal colony, and before he died, he instructed his two sons to find their half-brother, Kang Zhuoshan.

The final result was that the two brothers recognized this uncle as their father, and Kang Shennu also became the chief of Liuzhou Hu with the support of An Lushan, and the history of Youzhou in the Tang Dynasty.

When he heard that Zhang Xiancheng asked him to immediately organize and mobilize all the combatable troops to prepare to meet the enemy, and take out all the money that was convenient to carry, and send more than a dozen masters to go with him to the surrounding Dangxiang Qiang and Tuyuhun to buy bandits and tribal leaders, Kang Shennu was quite unimpressed.

"Uncle Zhang, I don't think it's necessary to mobilize the army so much, isn't it just 2,000 soldiers and horses? I have an army of more than 11,000 here, and I can't beat one of six? ”

Zhang Xiancheng took two sips of a bowl of thick white mutton soup, feeling much more comfortable, and then sneered: "You can't beat it, you can't beat it with 10,000 more."

He could only concentrate his forces to defend the city, and then send 3,000 cavalry to attack outside. Even then, it doesn't necessarily last five or six days.

So I'm going to leave tomorrow, you hurry up and make arrangements, hand over all the gold, silver and jewels to me to take away, and then you immediately mobilize and prepare for war! ”

"How is that possible? The dog thief brought all the cavalry, there were no siege equipment, and it was a long-distance attack, and the men and horses were tired...... "Kang Shennu chattered endlessly, and he didn't take Xiao Quai's two thousand soldiers and horses seriously.

Zhang Xiancheng glared at him fiercely, his eyes flashed, and this Sogdian bearded man who was arrogant and domineering near Liuhu Prefecture in the past, fierce and vicious, and ate human flesh was immediately a little timid.

He knew the skills of this snake-tooth commander, and he was like this, two hundred of them were not his opponents, and he was also the righteous brother of his father-in-law, and his identity was extraordinary.

Zhang Xiancheng despised this arrogant waste more and more, but he still put down his proud shelf and said patiently: "Thirty years ago, there were 15,000 troops under Kang Zhibin, how could Wang Hui attack the county seat in less than half a day?

Let's tell you the truth, Xiao Quai's current 2,000 soldiers and horses are far better than the 4,000 soldiers under Wang Hui's command, only this Xiao Quai's illness alone can reach 2,000 soldiers and horses, and he alone broke through the 20,000 strict formations in the river to wait for the Great Food Army Formation and killed 2,000 enemies. ”

"Thirty years ago, it wasn't that Wang Hui's dog thief who was taken by surprise, this time ......" Kang Tietou said, suddenly shocked again: "What, how is it possible, one person broke through the 20,000 army formation?" ”

Thirty years ago, Kang Zhibin gathered nearly 20,000 Hu soldiers in Liuzhou to rebel, and the surrounding states and counties were caught off guard by a sudden attack. The momentum was huge, which made Kang Zhibin think that he was invincible in the world, and at the same time, it also made the Tang Dynasty court attach great importance to it.

Li Longji ordered Wang Hui, the general manager of the Shuofang army, to join forces with Longyou Jiedu to make Guo Zhiyun quell the rebellion, but Wang Hui thought that the Shuofang army alone was more than enough.

So Wang Hui asked the emperor to let the Longyou army return, and on the other hand, he led 3,000 cavalry to attack.

Kang Shennu's meaning, if Wang Hui didn't follow the routine and made a surprise attack, the outcome of the battle thirty years ago would still be undecided.

In short, these Sogdians of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu were extremely irritable and belligerent, arrogant, extremely ungood at war, and pitifully weak in combat and without self-knowledge.

Zhang Xiancheng said sternly: "How is it impossible? This man is so powerful that even your stepfather and I are no match for him, so if I ask the two of them to tell you about him, you will know how terrifying he is. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xiancheng looked at Kang Shennu with a chilling look, and his tone was cold: "I'm not discussing with you, but conveying your father-in-law's death order, and at the same time saving you."

If you dare to disobey in the slightest, there is a trace of lightness, I dare to guarantee that you will be captured alive by Na Xiao Qu's sick life within three days and sent to Chang'an to be beheaded. ”

Kang Shennu became nervous and serious at this time, and then the entire Yanen County was busy. What he didn't know was that in the noble plan, they had long been outcasts and cannon fodder.

…… At the same time, under the same moonlight, in a small Liuzhou Hu tribe ninety miles south of Yan'en County, Youzhou Zhishu, a large bonfire was lit, and next to the bonfire, thousands of flying dragon forbidden troops and Anxi cavalry were roasting sheep on the fire around the bonfire.

"The head of the state will be resigned, and the prime minister will beg the traitors. The salty song "Breaking the Array Music", appreciating the Taiping people.

The four seas are surrounded by the emperor's wind, and the water is clear for thousands of years; Rong Yi is not even more weary, and it will be successful today. The Lord is holy and opens, and the ministers are loyal to Dayou; After you look at the Yange, it is the Taiping Autumn. ”

Some people gently hummed the music of King Qin's breaking formation, some people talked and laughed in a low voice, and some took small sips of Xiao Quai's immortal drunk who was given a water bladder to each person.

Behind the campfires were dense tents, and in one corner of the tents, many women and children of different colors and complexions listened in horror to the sounds outside, trembling with fear.

If they were able to get out of the tent, they could see that two hundred paces south of the fire were piles of corpses, frozen and stiff in the cold wind of more than 20 degrees below zero: their husband and father.
