In the early morning of Talas City, a round of red sun has erupted in the eastern sky, and the clear and clear Talas River flows slowly through the city of Talas like a jade belt. The water vapor on the surface of the river is thick, and a layer of mist floats from the Talas River like a veil, enveloping the city of Talas in it, like a fairyland.

In the middle of a river with a dry climate, the sight is truly breathtaking.

But now the owner of Talas City, the king of Shi Guozheng, Teller, is not in the mood to enjoy the dreamlike scenery at the moment. At this moment, he was standing at the head of Talas City with a bitter face, and his eyes were blankly looking at the Anxi camp a few miles south of Talas City. There was his eldest son, the heroic Na Che Nose Shi, who was most valued.

In an offensive and defensive battle yesterday afternoon, the Anxi army's powerful distant fire suppressed the Turkic archers on the city's head, forcing them to take the initiative with cavalry. I thought that the cavalry would go and return quickly, and immediately retreat into the city after a successful blow, but I didn't expect that the Anxi army had already taken precautions, so that almost all the cavalry of the 7,000 sorties were wiped out, and even his son Na Che Bishi was captured alive.

When Gao Xianzhi ambushed his troops from two sides, blocked the suspension bridge across the river and firmly surrounded their attacking cavalry, Teller, who was also standing at the head of Talas at that time, gritted his teeth in a hurry, and he really wanted to jump off the city wall immediately and pick up his son.

This is his only competitive son, and it is also his favorite and most entrusted son, as can be seen from his eight years ago, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty asked for the seal of the car. When he saw that the car nose was rushing left and right in the encirclement, but it couldn't break through, at that moment, Teller's regretful intestines were going to be blue.

Fortunately, the Anxi army did not rush to kill everything, and Na Ju Che Bishi was finally captured alive and saved his life. This made Teller, who was watching the battle at the head of the city, breathe a sigh of relief, it's good to be alive, and there is a chance to be alive!

So that night, the anxious Teller sent three groups of teams to the camp in Anxi, trying to rescue his son. However, this Anxi army has been fighting for more than ten years, how rich the combat experience is, and how well the entire camp is well defended.

In each camp, not only did the trees have a wall more than two battles high, but two trenches were dug outside the wall, and the outside of the trench was sprinkled with thistles within two hundred steps, and the people wrote that the thistles were hidden in the deep grass, and they could not be seen at all, until the horses or people stepped on them would scream and discover their existence. They were greeted by a rain of arrows with strong bows and crossbows.

Around the main passages, there are no thistles, but they are heavily guarded, and there is no shortage of deer, wooden bridges, watchtowers, standing guard and soldiers on duty. Not to mention the hundreds of scouts and scouts outside the camp.

So, overnight, the three groups of rescue teams were all killed and wounded, but they didn't even touch the door of Anxi's wall. couldn't save his son, thinking of Gao Xianzhi's past actions, Teller was a little desperate.

If the Anxi army wins, he may be able to escape into the mountains suddenly, but Na Juche Bishi will definitely be escorted to Chang'an by Gao Xianzhi, just like the vice king of Shiguo Tutun Qule, who was captured by him last year, and pulled out to cut off his head after offering victory; If the Anxi army is defeated, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not kill Na Ju Che Nose at the last moment to vent his anger.

Just when he was slightly stunned, he heard Tuojie shouting next to him: "Special service (King Shi Guozheng is called special service, and vice king is called Tutun), look, the Anxi army is coming...... Seems to be one of our people! ”

Teller stared intently, and sure enough, there was a group of hundreds of people coming from the camp of Anthy towards the south gate of Talas. If you take a closer look, it is not except for a few Anxi soldiers, most of them are soldiers of the Shiguo who were captured yesterday.

Teller frowned, Gao Xianzhi What is this for?

It didn't take long for the group to cross the battleground of yesterday, cross the filled moat, and come to the city of Talas. Hundreds of Shiguo soldiers on the head of the city, like Teller, opened their eyes wide, not knowing what was going on?

A captured commander shouted at the Teller at the head of the city: "Tell the secret service, the Anxi army said that we are wasting food, let us come back!" ”

"Waste of food?" Teller and all the Shiguo soldiers in Nancheng couldn't believe their ears, and this reason was too lame to say.

Shi Guo also often fought wars and often captured prisoners. There are generally three ways to deal with captives in this area: first, kill; second, to be used as a slave; Third, in exchange for a ransom.

If you really think that they can use it for ransom or kill them because they waste food, how can they be put back directly, aren't you afraid that these people will turn against them again?

Teller couldn't figure out what the hell the other party was doing after thinking about it for a while or two, did he want to trick himself into opening the city gate and then take the opportunity to attack the city?

"Use the rope to drop two people down to see, are there any ambushes around?"

The rope fell from the city, and the four Truer Tuojie climbed down the city with the rope and ran wildly in all directions, and after about ten minutes, the four ran back panting and reported: "There are no Anxi ambushes around. ”

Teller then ordered the gates to be opened and the captives allowed to enter the city.

At this time, Sayyid bin Humet and another general of the Turgish army, Qu Si, learned of this and rushed to the south gate. The two also felt that this matter was quite strange, but they were different.

Said Ben Humet was thinking of the first battle with the White Eater Army, when he was just starting out. And Posilin captured the enemy general, and instead of killing the man, he gave him a warm reception and let him go.

When the general returned, he told Nasr, the governor of Khorasan at the time, that "the rebels are pious and will win...... so Nasr and his white-clad soldiers were very depressed and demoralized.

Could it be that Anxi Jun and Gao Xianzhi also had the same idea?

The thought of the general Qu Si of the Turgish: Why did only the soldiers of the Shi Kingdom be released? The soldiers of Shiguo waste food, don't the Turgish soldiers waste food? And he was watching yesterday's battle from the city.

He Bi and Naju Che Bishi were surrounded by the Anxi coalition army, and Na Ju Che Bishi fell off his horse and was captured; He Bi was also beaten off his horse, and he could have been captured alive, but the enemy general still stabbed him to death.

Almost the same number of soldiers on both sides were captured together, so why did they only release the soldiers of Shiguo? Is there an inside story between them?

Seeing the two of them looking at him with burning eyes, Teller explained with some crampedness: "The Anxi Army said that they wasted food, so they put it back......"

He Bi asked rhetorically: "Is it a waste of food if the captured thousands of Turkey Warriors are soldiers?" ”

Teller was suddenly embarrassed, and he held back for a long time before saying, "How do I know this?" That's what they say. He probably guessed what He Bi meant, and his face turned red: "Do you suspect that I have any connection with the Anxi Army?" Now that they've just entered the city, can you go and ask them for yourself? ”

He Bi and Said Ben Humet looked at each other and said with a smile: "We didn't mean that, this thing is so strange!" Why don't you go and ask......"

After about a quarter of an hour, the three of them finally asked the whole story. It's nothing special, after they were arrested yesterday, they were screened out and detained separately, except for being tied hand and foot together, they were not abused, and then they were woken up by the Anxi army this morning. As soon as they opened their mouths, they said that they were waste, and that they would only waste food, and that there was no breakfast for them, and that they should go back to the city to eat, and then they sent dozens of soldiers to escort them to the south gate.

In this way, the two had nothing to say and left in a huff. When they were gone, Teller immediately took the commander to a secret room, and asked, "What about the car?" What did the other party have to say? ”

At about the same time, Hobi and Said bin Humed were also in secret talks. Said Ben Humet said: "Gao Xianzhi must have let this group of captives take the talk, and his son Na Ju Che Bishi was not released back in the hands of the Anxi army." ”

"What could it be?"

"I guess it's nothing more than some conditions, how to let go of his son, threats, wooing, etc."

"Will Teller agree?"

"It's hard to say, but you can see how much Teller values this son of his! So, we had to be prepared, just in case ......"

At the same time, in the Anxi camp a few miles away from them, Xiao Quzhi put down the fifth big bowl, touched his stomach comfortably, and secretly thought in his heart: "This temporary alliance that is not very solid should start to have dislike at this time, right?" Master said that as long as the other party is not of the same mind, this method is almost a hundred tried. ”
