The night enveloped Bianjing City, casting a layer of despair over everyone's hearts.

In the middle of the camp, a moaning echoed everywhere. The men who fought bloodily during the day gritted their teeth, and some sat in chairs, making a low roar as needles and threads shuttled back and forth over the wound and stitched together; Some endured severe pain and watched as the doctor used a knife to rip open the flesh and pick out the bloody arrow clusters from the flesh, sweating profusely.

Tang An saw all this in his eyes, and felt that this picture was so familiar and so unfamiliar.

He seemed accustomed to the greatest victory at the lowest cost, to listening to the cheers of the soldiers in the despair of the enemy, but when he saw what the war had to bring, he could not calm himself.

Four city gates, more than 10,000 enemies were annihilated, and 5,000 were killed and wounded.

Among the 5,000 were other people's husbands and fathers, the only child of a gray-haired old man, and his brother Paoze, who shared the weal and woe with him in the Western Regions.

The moment he entered the city from the tower, he suddenly wanted to kill people when he looked at the horror and expectation on the faces of the people who had cautiously peeked out of their homes.

Kill the Oriental Journey!

There are two sides to the human heart. His unfeigned care also won the respect of the soldiers.

During the day, even at the height of the fighting, he never took a step back, advancing and retreating with all the soldiers who participated in the defense of the city. This is a huge difference from Wan Jie, who often enjoys himself comfortably in the camp.

For the general, he is willing to live and die with Pao Ze in danger, and this kind of friendship in exchange for sacrificing his life is more precious than anything else.

They began to understand where the pride of the soldiers of the Western Regions came from. They exchanged one heart and one life for the rout of the beard, and they have reason to be proud. And now, can I integrate into them, thwart the conspiracy of the Far Voyage to the East, and welcome the glory that belongs to the Tang Forbidden Army?

Tang An wanted to accompany his soldiers all night, but at night, he received an invitation. Please put a striking word "generation" on it, revealing the identity of the owner.

This person's invitation, Tang An couldn't refuse at all.

The Red House is not far from Xixuanmen, and it is one of the few restaurants that is still open today. The owner of the restaurant was very bold, opened fifty-six jars of old wine that had been treasured for a long time, and released a bold statement: As long as the Tang army wins a complete victory, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can drink it at will!

On the second floor, Ju Accord.

When Tang An arrived, the room was already full of good wine and food. A man with a gentle smile stood up and said, "Master Hou, please." ”

The man did not look to be more than forty years old, his dark and rough skin and handsome features seemed to be somewhat contrary, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.

He has the best traits that a Tang soldier can embody: resolute, burly, and not angry and self-assured. It was this nature that made him chosen by the old emperor to go to the desert single-handedly thirteen years ago, and has been living a life even harder than hell.

He was the first person of the young generation of the Tang Dynasty thirteen years ago, and the proud son of the Dai family - Dai Tianya.

Tang An was no stranger to him. Because a few days ago, Qin Tian used himself to expose the conspiracy of the Oriental Journey in front of the entire capital. In return, Qin Tian gave him access to Datang's most core secret.

The initiator of this secret is Dai Tianya.

Regarding Dai Tianya's attitude, Tang Anxin was quite dissatisfied: "General Dai, the war has just ended, you can still laugh?" ”

Dai Tianya sat down by himself, made a "please" gesture, and said: "As a soldier, countless heroes have generously gone to righteousness, it seems that I should cry." But for Datang, this is good news. ”

"Good news? Hehe, good news......" Tang An looked lonely and drank all the wine in the cup: "Yes, this damn plan was thought up by Lao Tzu, this is indeed fucking good news!" ”

Dai Tianya felt the sorrow in his heart and sighed: "War is like this, without sacrifice, where can victory come from?" It's all helpless, so why should you blame yourself? ”

"I don't blame myself, I just don't like your attitude." Tang An looked up and said, "Those dead warriors, they deserve our respect, no matter what the reason, we should offer the highest respect." ”

The smile on Dai Tianya's face retracted, and he silently picked up his wine glass: "I apologize for my words and deeds just now." ”

Dai Tianya's words are not adulterated at all, but the so-called "apology" is largely because of Tang An.

Before coming to the capital, he had heard a lot of comments about Tang An. The rumors from the market are more about his affairs, and there is very little news between the ranks.

Until one day, he heard that a unit had infiltrated the Western Regions, which disturbed the peace of the entire Eastern Xinjiang region, and made Mo Lingtu, the first rising star of Tiele, lose face.

The leader of this army is named Tang An.

Dai Tianya has left the capital for thirteen years, but his heart has never gone far. He always felt that his achievements back then were unsurpassable, which was his confidence in his own strength. If it weren't for that, the former emperor would not have entrusted himself with the arduous task of "preserving the dragon vein".

Tang An was the first person to break his own record.

He admired Tang An's actions, but he was also mixed with a little jealousy. But when he was introduced to Tang An by the emperor, he changed his opinion.

As early as the beginning of the rebellion, the emperor was secretly arranged. But Tang An, a man who had not fought for a few days, made an offer that no one could refuse.

This proposal completely changed his attitude towards Tang An.

"I don't need to apologize, I still have a lot to do, and drinking is a luxury, but I don't have the time right now. Brother Dai has something to say, what is the reason for looking for the younger brother this time? Tang An asked, leading back to Dai Tianya's thoughts.

"Okay, I love soldiers like sons, it seems that it is the most correct choice for the saint to let Hou Ye join the army." Dai Tianya drank a glass of wine and said with a serious expression: "I look at today's war, and the situation is not optimistic. You personally ordered the only remaining son of Dongfang Yuan to die, and the Dongfang family had no queen, which completely aroused his murderous intent. And that old guy is too old, and he has lost the support of the belief that allowed the Dongfang family to ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Honor, I'm afraid he doesn't have much to live. Before he died, he must have wanted to sit on that dragon chair and fill the regrets of his life. Therefore, he will definitely do his best to capture Bianjing, and the next war will only become more and more difficult. ”

Tang An said: "The more he is like this, isn't it just what we want?" Closing the door and beating the dog is your task on behalf of the general. ”

Dai Tianya's expression was serious, and he said, "First, the people and horses I brought back are limited, and I can't deal with too many enemies. Second, Bianjing City is too big, and I need time to lay it out. ”

"How long will it take?"

"It will take at least ten days."

"Ten days ......" Tang An muttered, suddenly stood up, and said, "Yes, even if I fight for my life, I will block them for ten days!" ”

Dai Tianya also stood up and said: "Tang Hou Ye, these ten days are related to the fortune of the country, Dai Mou for the thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, thank Hou Ye for his great kindness!" ”

"No thanks, that's what I'm supposed to do."

After saying this, Tang An turned around and was about to walk out. But as soon as he took two steps out, he paused again: "I heard that after abandoning the official position, the emperor felt 'guilty' in his heart because he killed you, the 'most outstanding genius in the past hundred years' of the Dai family, so he gave you the entire Tang Dynasty Caoyun and land transport transactions, isn't it?" ”

Dai Tianya was slightly stunned, and said truthfully: "This is indeed the case." ”

"Then, after the war is over, I hope that you will give more money to the relatives of the dead soldiers. Money can't buy human lives, but if we can make their parents, wives and children live a little better, it can be regarded as a kind of redemption for our sins. ”

Tang An said, flashing out of the house. Only the next generation of Tianya was left alone in the house to issue a certificate, muttering to himself: "How could the emperor take a fancy to such a soft-hearted person? But such a person... Why do I feel admiration? ”
