Chapter 9: Shule

Looking at Li Changguo's back, the woman bit her lip with a mouthful of white teeth like jade, and bit out a row of clear tooth marks. At this moment, Li Changguo turned around and waved at him, looking like you don't want to be nostalgic for her brother, she almost fell off the horse.

"Miss, look! There, there! It was our men who held the captives. Wow! A lot of captives, it's a little Boru! And the Tibetan people! "The girl's voice is very loud and explosive.

When the woman looked at it, she saw a long procession marching along the mountain road, and more than 200 captives were tied to a long dragon. And the escort of these captives turned out to be no more than twenty Tang soldiers, including the nasty young man who made her angry.

"He's from the military! Hum! Dare to provoke me, he feels good! The woman pulled the horse's head and galloped away.

Li Changguo and they escorted the captives to arrive, and they heard the barking of dogs from a distance, Li Changguo came to find the sound, and found that the woman shot the fox missed, and wanted to shoot her, but he didn't think that she was a little arrogant, and it was difficult for people to accept, so that scene happened. For Li Changguo, this matter is just a trivial matter, and even if it is over, he will not take it to heart at all.

It's out of the Green Ridge here, not far from Shule. After going north for about half an hour, I saw a majestic city in the distance, which was Shule, one of the four towns of Anxi.

The Tang Dynasty had four strategic support points in the Western Regions, namely Xiaye, Qiuzi, Khotan and Shule, collectively known as the "Four Towns of Anxi", each of which has extremely important strategic value.

Among these four towns, Qiuzi is in the middle, which is the seat of the Anxi Prefecture and is the hub. The westernmost part of Broken Leaf City was a strategic support point for the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food to compete for control of Central Asia. Khotan is mainly a place that connects the rivers.

Shule is the Tang Dynasty to control the green mountains, to prevent the invasion of the Western Regions of the strategic support point, the Tang Dynasty operated for a hundred years, although it is far away in the barren land of the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty is still with a strong national strength to build Shule into a heroic city, not lost to the city in the interior.

Shule is more than ten miles in circumference, the city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a military town that does not fall, and the Tang Dynasty has heavy troops stationed here.

"What a majestic city! Show the atmosphere of Datang! ”

Li Changguo couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"We're in Shule!" Kant was overjoyed and said happily: "We have won such a big battle, and there will definitely be a heavy reward!" ”

"Huh!" This is inevitable, and the soldiers let out a burst of laughter, their eyes flashed eagerly, and they were eager to receive military merit immediately.

Military merit is the best recognition of one's heroic deeds, and who wouldn't be happy with it?

At the gate of Shule City, a team of Tang Army guards, as soon as they saw Li Changguo and them coming, they trotted over to stop them: "Stop!" Who are you? Well! Little Boru! Ha ha! And the Tibetans! Where did you catch it? ”

For the Tang army in Shule, they could tell the difference between the little Bolu and the Tubo people at a glance.

"We were the pawns of the Green Ridge, and we fought a battle with the little Bolu and captured these captives. It's not a lot, it's only two hundred and forty-seven! There is a thousand-legg! Kant said proudly with his head held high and his chest held high.

This battle was the most beautiful battle he had fought in his life, and he was extremely proud, and his eyes were as bright as the fierce screams above the nine heavens.

"You guys? As far as I know, there are not many people in the garrison on the Green Ridge, only a few dozen, how can you take so many prisoners? Listen to my advice, don't lie about the military situation! Tang Jun, who was guarding the door, didn't believe it at all, and the doubts in his words were very strong.

"Believe it or not!" Kant was angry, his eyes rolled, and he was extremely angry, as if someone had borrowed money from him and didn't pay it back: "I'm going to report to the Metropolitan Protectorate, whether I lied about the military situation, I don't need you to worry about it!" ”

"Brother, I'm kindly reminding you, what kind of stuffy are you born?" The Tang army guarding the door was bored, very embarrassed, and a little embarrassed, and then let Li Changguo and them into the city.

The Tang Dynasty set up a military government in Shule to deal with military affairs. The military palace was in the west of the city, and Li Changguo and the others entered the city and went straight to the west of the city, and soon came to the military palace.

Kant stepped forward and explained the situation to the Tang army guarding, which aroused the questioning eyes of these Tang troops. Fortunately, Tang Jun here is still a bit of a mouthful of virtue and did not say it to his face.

In the military palace, a middle-aged man in his thirties, tall, extremely heroic, and with a fierce aura, he knew at a glance that this was a shrewd person.

This person's name is Duan Xiushi, Anxi Beijiang. In the ten years of Tianbao, together with Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye, he launched the famous Battle of Hengros.

Duan Xiushi is handling military affairs and is very focused. At this moment, a personal guard came in and reported to him: "Farewell, Kande, the fire chief of the Green Ridge Fort, asks to see him." ”

"Kant?" Duan Xiushi's thick black eyebrows were raised, and he was slightly more powerful, and said, "What is he here for?" He is extremely important there, it is Shule's eyes, is there something wrong with Xiao Bolu? ”

"Don't be wise!" The guards praised it, and then reported: "Xiao Bolu had an abnormal move, but he defeated them, captured more than 200 prisoners, and came to the military palace to report his merits." ”

"Meritorious service?" Duan Xiushi was very surprised: "He has only fifty people, and he has captured more than two hundred prisoners alone?" Is this possible? Did he lie about the military? Hum! ”

This is a real military feat, but it is too hard to believe. It's not that Duan Xiushi is not shrewd enough, on the contrary, he is a very shrewd person, and it is hard to believe that he has captured more than 200 prisoners with just 50 people.

More than two hundred captives were captured, so how many opponents did he have? Let's not say three or four hundred, right? Can Kant's little force defeat three or four hundred small Bolu troops?

Although the combat strength of Xiao Bolu's army is not strong, and it is not in the same order of magnitude as the Tang army, the problem is that there are many ants biting elephants, and Xiao Bolu's strength advantage is too great, and he is tired of fifty soldiers to death.

Duan Xiushi stood up and walked out of the military mansion quickly, only to see a long line of small Bolu people in front of the military mansion, as well as a few Tubo people, all with their heads bowed and their faces frightened.

With Duan Xiushi's eyes, he recognized at a glance that these were indeed the Little Bolu army and the Tubo army, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that Kant can really capture so many prisoners with just fifty people?" ”

Kant looked at Duan Xiushi, very happy, and stepped forward to salute: "I've seen Lord Don't." ”

"Hmm!" Duan Xiushi raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, extremely terrifying, glared at Kant, his tone was extremely stern, and said: "Kant, you know military law, if you lie to the army, I can do it!" ”

"Oops!" Kant only felt that he was wronged, and called out to the sky: "Don't general, how can you believe that we have been arrested?" Won't you ask these captives? ”

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I don't dare to believe it!" Duan Xiushi's tone showed no signs of loosening, and it was still as severe as frost: "Have you joined forces with the nearby forts?" ”

Kant did not ask Schuller for help, and only by uniting with the nearby forts could he capture so many prisoners, which is extremely credible.

"I didn't! Never! Kant's voice was very high, and he was so aggrieved that he was like a little daughter-in-law who had been abused by his in-laws, and he stomped on the ground a few times with his big feet.

Li Changguo knew that with Kant's eloquence, it was difficult to explain for a while, so he was about to take over the conversation, but at this moment, he only heard a rapid hoof sound, and soon came to the front of the military palace.

"The deputy is protected!"

A loud voice came from afar.

"Gao Xianzhi?" Li Changguo's eyes flickered, and his eyes were as bright as the Nine Heavens.
