Chapter 111: Loyalty and Betrayal
A semi-circular gibbous moon hung high in the air, the hazy moonlight spread down, the battlefield that had just experienced the great war was lit and swayed, and the night wind blew the grass on the ground, rustling and moving, like a silver-white wave rising and falling.
Under the light of the stars and moon, Xiao Quzhi watched this battlefield where the soldiers of the two sides fought for five days for a long time, and his heart fluctuated. At this time, the war was finally over, the fighting had stopped, and the Wan'an Xi Army, Ning Yuan Army, and Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms Servant Army were cleaning up the battlefield, whispering from time to time, talking about something, or excited, or excited, or solemn.
The five-day decisive battle of Talas finally came to an end in the middle of the night on the tenth day of the sixth month of the tenth year of Tianbao, and the great cannibals were defeated. The two main generals, Qi Yade, were killed by Xiao Quai's arrow, and Ai Buda was crushed under the wounded war horse and finally captured.
The 50,000 Great Eclipse soldiers were leaderless, and immediately collapsed under the careful deployment and fierce attack of the Anxi Army, and then more than 17,000 Zhaowu Nine ** teams defected and joined the team chasing and killing the Great Eclipse soldiers. In this battle, more than 30,000 of the 50,000 Great Food Army were killed, more than 10,000 were captured, and only less than 1,000 Great Food Remnants escaped.
On another battlefield, 1,000 Qarluq cavalry were raided by 1,800 Anxi troops, leading a thousand households and 600 soldiers, and the rest surrendered immediately. After controlling the Qarlu army, the prince of Shi Guo shouted by the prince of Shi, the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom guarding the south gate opened the city gate, and more than 1,000 Anxi troops entered the city, and soon killed the Huang Tucai Shi to a great defeat, Qu Si led thousands of remnants of the army to pay a huge price to break through the siege outside the city and flee to Broken Leaf City.
The war was settled, but Xiao Quai's illness had a feeling of being like a dream at this time.
Since the crossing, in the past few months, I have climbed snow-capped mountains and crossed the Gobi, busy before and after, and never sleepless. How many times have I gone to danger with my body, and even broken through the army of 10,000 people alone, escaped death, and fought with my life, what I wanted in my heart was to win this battle and not let the historical tragedy repeat itself, and now I finally got my wish.
"Oh my God, Dad...... I did it...... I changed history...... It's not easy...... History has changed! ”
"General Xiao, the battle has been won, why don't you look very happy?" Behind Xiao Quai's illness, General Zuo Jin Wuwei, whose name was Ma Lan, asked in a low voice.
"Nope." Xiao Quzhi took care of his thoughts, turned around and showed a relaxed smile to him and said, "I just think it's not easy to win this battle." ”
"Yes, I never thought that the Qarluq army would suddenly rebel!"
"What's unexpected, most of the Hu people are unreliable, they value profit over righteousness, as long as the price is high, they will easily rebel, and it is almost impossible to let them live and die with us...... Okay, let's go back. ”
The Anxi camp, Gao Xianzhi's Chinese army tent, is brightly lit at the moment. On the contrary, the day before, the enemy of the Anxi army, the king of the Shi Kingdom, Tele, together with the prince of the Shi Kingdom, Na Ju Che Shi, and several kings of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu were sitting on the Hu chair.
In the previous battle, Anximo's sword soldiers and 500 cavalry killed more than 1,000 Qarluq cavalry under his command, and captured Dun Bigasheng alive, who was stunned on the spot.
A few hours had passed, and Dhoffja had not yet recovered from his trance. The ups and downs of life are too fast and incredible.
Two days ago, he was the most relied on ally of the Anxi army, and there were close to 5,000 Qarluq cavalry under his command, but now he has suddenly become a rebel and an enemy of the Anxi army, nearly 5,000 Qarluq cavalry are dead, and less than 500 remain, and he himself has become a prisoner, life and death are unknown.
And the Shiguo Zheng King Teller, who was still the enemy of the Anxi Army before, as well as these kings of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms and Dehegan, at this time, they became Gao Xianzhi's guests.
Not only that, but because of his betrayal, Amirjan and the more than 2,000 Qarluq cavalry under his command will also suffer a catastrophe. At the same time, Gao Xianzhi would definitely not let go of his Qarlu tribe at the foot of the Golden Mountain.
Cutting the grass must be eradicated, this is a truth that is not easy for the ages, and if he changes himself, he will do the same!
He had wanted to escape the persecution of the Uighur Khanate and grow his tribe near the city of Talas, but now he was about to be wiped out. Gao Xianzhi and that Xiao Qu were sick several times and promised him that they could give Talas City to Ge Lulu, and later even Broken Leaf City was given. If the Anxi army is not betrayed, the Qarluq division will reap unimaginable war dividends. This is by no means just a piece of territory, but fighting side by side with the Anxi Army at a critical moment, it is bound to be valued by the Tang Dynasty, and it may not be possible to obtain the status of Ning Yuanguo.
However, all of this was ruined by his own ghost obsession. As soon as he thought of this, Dumbhija wanted to be killed by his head immediately.
However, now Don Viga did not dare to die, because Gao Xianzhi had not yet said that he wanted him to die.
Xiao Quzhi and Ma Lan returned to the big tent, and after reporting the military situation with a military salute, Gao Xianzhi asked the two to sit down, and then said: "Auxiliary minister, Dun Bijia has indeed sent someone to the south of Yaozhishui at this time yesterday, so that his son Amir Jiang betrayed the Tang Dynasty and defected to the battle. ”
Xiao Quzhi nodded, turned his head to look at Dun Bijia and said, "Ye Hu, I want to know, what benefits did the big cannibal promise you to betray the Tang Dynasty and the Anxi Army?" ”
"Broken Leaf City, Talas City, and the entire Broken Leaf Water area, as well as Ning Yuan Kingdom and Xiba Khanna." At this time, Don Viga was also simple, knowing everything and saying everything.
"We Datang can also give you these! This morning, Zhongcheng told you that he could give you Shattered Leaf City together. There are only so many people in your tribe, isn't it enough to occupy the entire Broken Leaf River? If you want Ning Yuanguo and Xiba Khanna, you won't be afraid to die! You are so forgetful of profit, a useless painting cake makes you choose betrayal? ”
Xiao Qubing is right, the current Gelulu Department is already the limit to occupy the entire Broken Leaf River, plus Ning Yuanguo and Xiba Khanna, they can't hold it at all now, especially when they are enemies of the Tang Dynasty. Only then did he suddenly understand that he was simply stunned by the pie that fell from the sky, and he saw the benefits in his eyes, but ignored the actual ability to accept it.
Dun Bijia was dumbfounded by questioning, and Gao Xianzhi answered: "Actually, this morning, when I told you to give you the broken leaves, I already knew that you were going to rebel at night, and at that time I was testing you and giving you one last chance, but it's a pity that ......"
"How did Zhongcheng know?" Don Viga asked the question he had always wanted to know.
"It's all the credit of the auxiliary." Gao Xianzhi glanced around at everyone and said with a smile: "You know, my second brother is an immortal disciple, this incident was told to him by his master when he had a dream yesterday, and he also healed his injuries overnight. That's why I say God bless the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army will win! ”
Gao Xianzhi's statement was discussed by the two a long time ago, in order to deter these Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms Hu and Ge Lulu Ye Hu, so that they would not dare to have dissenting hearts anymore. Think about it, Xiao Quai's master is an immortal, and as soon as Tang Jun is in danger, he will tell him in a dream. If you also secretly endanger the Tang Dynasty, or have different intentions, you naturally can't hide it from his immortal master.
In addition, Xiao Quai's single-handedly killed the army of 10,000 people, and there were more than 100 wounds on his body, and the blood was about to run dry. With this incident as an example, when such words are spoken, these Zhaowu Jiuguo Hu are naturally convinced.
Sure enough, after being stunned for a second or two, almost all of them were convinced of this. Seeing Xiao Qu's illness has changed, full of awe and flattery.
Don Bijia suddenly understood, remorseful, and was about to go crazy with excitement: "Zhongcheng, Marquis Xiao, I am a ghost, you guys kill quickly, let me die!" ”
"It's not up to us to decide whether you die or not." Gao Xianzhi said.
"Who's in charge?"
"Your son, Amirjan."
"Amir River?"
"That's right, if Amir Jiang chooses loyalty after receiving your letter, and doesn't do what you say, you can still live. But Kallulu Yehu can't do it anymore, you must go to Anthy to be a slave for twenty years, and all the benefits promised to you before will not be gone. However, as a reward for your loyalty to the Amirjan, you can return to your homeland, and you will be supported to prevent the Uighurs from eating you.
But if Amirjan is like you, he chooses to betray. Then, you, Amir Jiang and these more than 3,000 Qarluq cavalry, all have to die. Together with the hundreds of thousands of your tribes at the foot of the Golden Mountain, not one of them, young or old, will be left behind! ”
After a pause, Gao Xianzhi coldly glanced at all the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms people present, and said in a deep voice: "This sentence is also valid for you Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms. We, the Anxi Army, and our Datang, will never allow the second betrayal to happen! We will reward the loyalists, and we will not show mercy to the betrayers, and we will kill them all! Ladies and gentlemen, don't be unpredictable! ”
PS: It's gone today.
