This horizontal knife is cast by a famous artist, when the ranger Chang'an relied on this horizontal knife, and then joined the army in Anxi, with this knife I don't know how many foreign heroes have been killed.

With the horizontal knife in his hand, and the stunning woman beside him, at this moment, Ma Lan seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago, back to the time when he was a ranger in Chang'an.

Glancing back, Kang Xiaoyu was staring at the horizontal knife, and a rare warm smile appeared on his pretty face.

Ma Ling froze down, and the narrow horizontal knife suddenly swung out, with a snowy sword.

The top of the carriage flew straight out and landed heavily in the mud, splashing a cloud of mud.

Looking at the horizontal knife in his hand again, it was still flickering with scale-like dark lines, but it was not damaged at all.

"Brother Ma Lan, Gele Khan is really dead!" Gao Qianqian looked at the inside of the carriage.

Ma Lan nodded. The huge carriage was filled with all kinds of spices, but there was still a smell of decay wafting out, and a corpse wrapped in Bai Lian curled up on top of the brocade quilt, obviously dead for a long time.

This is the famous Gele Khan, the only master of the land of thousands of miles on the steppe, and now he has become a corpse and has fallen into the hands of the Tang people.

After the canonization of the Heavenly Khan, he was the symbol of the Hui Khanate, and after the death of the Khan, the Hui Khanate completely ceased to exist.

The spring grass has sprouted, and although it is still cold, the corpses have begun to decay in such weather. After the death of a generation of heroes, they are no different from ordinary people.

Ma Lan sighed a little in his heart, and ordered a personal soldier to come and cut off the head of Gele Khan, pickle it with lime and take it away. Got this head. It will be sent to Chang'an in the future. Count as a credit to everyone. This is a work of destroying the country. It's kind of safe.

On the grassland where the two rivers meet, the Anxi athletes in bright light armor gallop across the country, and the Hui people are still bleeding continuously. Ma Lan rode his horse through the entire battlefield and came to the high slope before.

Duan Xiushi was a scribe, and he had done his best to be able to keep up with the brigade on horseback, so it was naturally impossible for him to participate in the battle. At this time, the gentleman was standing on the top of the high slope, under the escort of a hundred and ten athletes, watching the battle on the battlefield below. Duan Xiushi saw Ma Lu returning, and hurriedly asked, "General." The enemy chieftain has already been beheaded? ”

"Hmm."

Ma Ling smiled and nodded, and asked his soldiers to show Duan Xiushi the pickled head of Gele Khan. Duan Xiushi's face showed joy, and he asked his soldiers to put away the head, and said with a smile: "This is another act of destroying the country, after the head is sent to Chang'an, Your Majesty will have a heavy reward." ”

Ma Ling smiled and said: "I'm afraid the reward may not be, I don't know how many people are staring at me now, after I go back this time, the matter of imprisoning Yang Guozhong in Tingzhou is enough for me." Cheng Gong. You must always be ready for me to leave Anthy. ”

Duan Xiushi said: "The way back to the Hui has been opened, and Your Majesty's martial arts have no regrets." However, the only one who can focus on the west of the green mountain to continue to pioneer is the general. The general must not retreat, there are hundreds of thousands of Han people to the west of the Green Mountain, how can the general ignore them? ”

Ma Lan smiled and said no more. The goal of opening up the way back to the Son of Heaven has been achieved, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the Son of Heaven, and what is said now is just a rehash of the old things, and this day will come sooner or later. In the future, if you leave Anxi, you will have to rely on Dr. Feng Duan Junzi and them to maintain the situation in Anxi and the west of Green Mountain.

What we have to do now is to continue to sweep the Tiele tribes and sweep away all the big tribes in the Mobei grassland, and then the squad will return to Anxi and return to the Broken Leaf River to establish the Broken Leaf Military Town, so as to give an explanation to General Wang.

……

Ma Lan immediately climbed the high slope and watched the athletes gallop back and forth on the grassland, chasing the Hui people who fled in vain.

Many Hui people knelt on the ground to express their obedience, wanting to ask for the Tang Army's forgiveness, but the response to them was still a blood-colored Modao.

After more than an hour, the crying on the grassland gradually subsided.

The three major clans of the Hui headquarters, as well as all the people of the Baye Ancient Tribe, all fell on this cold grass.

Among the nine tribes of Tiele, the Hui tribe is the largest, and the Hui tribe is divided into nine major clans, headed by the Yao Luo Ge clan, and now among the nine major clans, plus the Gesa clan encountered earlier, there are already four major clans that have been completely wiped out by the army.

The remaining five clans all took the initiative to leave the Yao Luo Ge clan on the way to escape, and their whereabouts were all in the hands of the Anxi agents, and it was impossible to escape the pursuit of the army.

The headquarters of the Hui is doomed to perish, and among the other eight Tiele tribes that originally belonged to the Hui Khan, this time it was the Baye ancient tribe that accompanied the burial of the Yao Luo Ge clan, the Tongluo tribe no longer existed after Absi was killed by Ma Lan in the grassland at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Pu tribe was completely annihilated by Du Huaiguang by the Pu Sea, and most of the people of the Qarlu tribe had moved westward more than ten years ago, and merged with the Qarlu tribe in the Western Turks, and only a few Qarlu tribes stayed in the Jinshan Governor's Mansion, so they could no longer be considered.

That is to say, after destroying the remaining major clans in the Hui headquarters, only four Tiele tribes need to be killed, and the basic task of this northern expedition will be completed.

As for the scattered Turkic tribes in Monan, Guo Ziyi, Li Siye, and Ge Shuhan are not vegetarians, so they don't have to worry about it at all.

The remaining four Tiele tribes had allied with the Gel Khan at the Hui Tooth Tent, and after Michelle blew up the Gel Khan's Tooth Tent, two of the four tribes fled to the northwest and two to the north.

The two tribes that fled to the northwest will meet the hundreds of thousands of people of the Huangjiasi tribe who have moved south, and these guys who claim to be the descendants of Li Ling are not easy to mess with, they are ordered by the Heavenly Khan to go south to help in the war, and the morale is not questioned, it is impossible for these two Tiele tribes to escape well. The two Tiele tribes in the direction of due north are the next priority for the army.

……

At the confluence of these two rivers, he defeated the main force of the Hui people, and obtained a lot of captures, which can really be said to be the mountain of horses and animals. The army had to continue on its way, and the merchants from Tingzhou were still far away, and these seizures became a problem for a while.

After slaughtering the Gesa clan before, the livestock obtained were all abandoned, although they were driven into the valley and waiting for the follow-up troops to come up, but I don't know how many of these livestock will be left after Du Huaiguang follows. Now it is the main force of the Hui people who have been defeated, and they have obtained so many livestock and so many war horses at once, it is a pity to give up.

The Anxi athletes cleaned up the battlefield, recovered the steel spears and crossbows as much as possible, buried the corpses of the Hui people in the big pit dug on the bank of the Dule River, and drove the captured horses, cattle and sheep together. Duan Xiushi looked at so many seizures, but he was extremely worried in his heart. You can't eat all these things, but it's extremely unbearable to throw them here.

In the past, the Tang Dynasty won great victories, and only in several victories over Tubo the number of horses and sheep captured reached 100,000, this time the captured were unprecedentedly large, much more than those victories.

Duan Xiushi came over to ask Ma Lan how to deal with it, Ma Lan couldn't think of any good way, and suddenly saw a large group of Xinghu businessmen behind Gao Po coming over, and his heart moved slightly.

Xinghu merchants are extremely popular on the grassland, and the people on the grassland never go to rob the merchants' things. Before, there were a lot of Xinghu caravans on the road, and the army didn't pay attention to them. It is no surprise that this caravan is now here after the Great War.

However, Ma Lan has already figured it out, maybe not all, but there must be many Xinghu businessmen who are related to the purple-haired fat man who wants to be Lu Buwei. Otherwise, the Xinghu merchants would not have constantly created obstacles along the way, delaying the speed of the Hui people's escape, so as to help themselves catch up with the Hui people.

Ma Xuan gave an order, and more than a dozen pro-soldiers rode down the high slope and stopped the Xinghu caravan. After a while, the leader of the caravan was brought over by his own soldiers.

"General." The leader of the caravan smiled at Ma Lan and arched his hand, looking extremely respectful.

Seeing the visitor, the corners of Ma Lan's mouth twitched.

This guy is none other than Kang Wannian!

When Ma Lan took the Anxi prisoners of war to launch in Sa Mojian, Kang Wannian was the head of the guards of the Kang million family, and that night Kang Wannian took the Kang family guards to set fire everywhere, and made a great contribution to Ma Lan's success.

The second time Ma Lan saw this guy, it was he who came to give Cheng Xintang paper dividends, and also brought a large number of Kang family warriors, saying that he wanted to take care of the Kang family's business in Datang, and at the same time obeyed Ma Lan's orders.

After that, he stayed in Anxi for a short time, and Gao Qianqian built a papermaking workshop together.

When I saw this guy later, it was in Chang'an City. At that time, An Lushan had just died, and preparations were being made for the immigration. When the Hezhong Group opened up for shares, Kang Wannian directly subscribed for a share capital of 990,000 yuan, plus pearls worth 10,000 yuan and sent it to the palace of Fufeng County, saying that it was a gift from the head of the family, Kang Fatzi, to Ma Lan.

After that, Ma Lan went back to Anxi and went directly to the river, saw Kang Fatzi, and picked up Kang Lin'er, but never saw this guy again. I didn't expect this guy to run to the cold Mobei, and now he actually appeared in front of him.

Ma Lan walked into the handsome tent that had just been set up, waved everyone away, looked at Kang Wannian and asked, "You have been following my army?" How did you do that? ”

Kang Wannian smiled and said, "Knowing that my uncle wants to send troops to Mobei to destroy the Hui Hui, I came here first." The head of the family has explained that all the forces of our family in the Central Plains must try to help my uncle, and I naturally dare not do my best in such a big matter. I started to follow my uncle from the back of the tooth tent, although my uncle marched fast, after all, there were many people, and I could only take the avenue, but I was on the small road that I had been walking, and I could naturally keep up with my uncle's army. ”

"You dug all the holes on the road?" Ma Lan asked.
