Who is me? Who am I?

Ma Lan didn't know.

The blood had blinded his eyes, but the hand that wielded the knife was still steady and powerful.

Coming from a millennium later, he instinctively knew that what he was doing was wrong.

However, with each swing of the knife, looking at the blood spurting out of the alien cavity, there was indescribable happiness in his heart.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, this is the principle of the former Chang'an ranger Ma Lan. On the battlefield, each of them fought for their own masters, and the captured robe died so tragically, which he couldn't accept at all.

Ma Lan felt that his soul had been completely integrated with the soul of this Guanzhong man thousands of years ago, and it was impossible to say who he was.

"General! Checkmate! A familiar voice sounded beside him.

When I opened my eyes, I vaguely saw the outline of a young man, with his hair tied to the right, which should be a Tang person. Since it is a Tang person, there is naturally no need to kill it.

Smiling at the Tang man's friendly smile, Ma Lan swung out the Mo knife in his hand again, cutting off the head of a Sogdian warrior.

……

"Han Wu, what's wrong with the general?" Du Huan was in a hurry and asked repeatedly.

Hundreds of elite infantry of the Anxi Army formed a circle, watching Ma Lu wielding a knife and killing people there, and the circle was full of severed limbs. The Sogdian warriors were no match for Ma Lan at all, and if they wanted to escape, they had the elite of the Anxi Army eyeing them, so they had no choice but to be bold and desperately besiege Ma Lan.

"These guys and generals have to solve it themselves, don't want me to help." Han Wu said in a low voice, "Join the army, you don't know, many Sogdians killed our slave robes when the army entered the city, and now the corpses found are almost four hundred, the general is crazy!" ”

"Why don't you think about it!"

"Joining the army, we are all fighting men, where can we figure out what to do. After the general vents, maybe it will be fine. ”

One by one, the remaining dozen Sogdian warriors fell under Ma Lan's sword, and after killing the last Sogdian warrior, Ma Lan threw down his bladed Mo knife and let out a strange long hiss in his chest.

"You are all Tang people, I won't kill you, haha!"

Seeing that things were not good, Du Huan gritted his teeth and took out the water bag from his waist, and said, "General, offended!" ”

In October, the temperature was already frighteningly low, and after pouring cold water, Ma Lu came back to his senses.

"Thank you for joining the army."

Du Huan let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay, it's just a little angry, I'm fine." Ma Lan waved his hand and motioned for Han Wu and the others to leave.

Seeing everyone leaving, Du Huan waved his hand to signal the dozen or so Uighur knights to stay away as well, and then lowered his voice and said, "General, do you really want to slaughter the city?" ”

Seeing Du Huan's nervousness, Ma Lan smiled and said, "The reason why I did this, I think you already know it." It is better to teach people to be afraid, not to teach people to bully, and the Sogdians themselves are looking for death and cannot complain about others. ”

"General, I can't help it!" Du Huan frowned, and said continuously, "General Gao broke through the Shi Kingdom a year ago, and the important ministers of the court were already extremely dissatisfied, but fortunately, His Majesty is trying to defend it, so it's okay." If the general really did the slaughter of the city, even if it was our work to establish Banchao Chen Tang, it would not be able to offset it! General, we are Tang people, not barbarians! ”

Ma Lan glanced at Du Huan: "My Anxi Jian'er has been running thousands of miles since I was in Jian, and I don't know how many killings I have caused along the way, and I don't seem to have paid attention to joining the army!" ”

"General, the city of capture and drink is the capital of Anguo, and Anxizhou is the capital of the state of the country, how can it be compared with those small cities! General, and don't show a momentary mood, cut off your own back road! Heroic deeds, how can the general not cherish them! ”

Ma Lan smiled.

This is what the family really thinks, and it is completely nonsense to say that it is not a barbarian. He had already seen that Du Huan would not care about the life or death of the Sogdians, all he cared about was the completion of this world-famous feat.

At this time, he came to his senses, and his emotions were no longer affected too much. Compared with Ma Lan, a man in Guanzhong thousands of years ago, he himself is much calmer. Now that he has regained complete control of this body, reason naturally prevails.

"Join the army, what you said is right, we are not barbarians, so naturally we should not do the evil act of slaughtering the city. If this crime is confirmed, the credit for this time will be reduced by at least half. You and I don't have anything, but I'm afraid that these thousands of brothers will also be implicated. ”

Du Huan nodded repeatedly.

"Since today's son ascended the throne, although he has vigorously expanded the territory, the important ministers of the court have not taken it seriously. Yao Chong and Song Jing's generations all advocated martial arts and cultivation, and Li Linfu appointed Hu to conquer the four realms, and only thought of using military exploits to please the Son of Heaven, where did these guys ever treat the border army as a person! ”

"The general is cautious!"

Du Huan's face changed greatly. Although he is a son of a family, he has not yet made a name for himself, and he does not have the courage to do such a thing as a big man in the court.

Ma Lan patted Du Huan on the shoulder, signaling that he didn't have to be afraid.

This guy has been linked to his own fate, and naturally there is no taboo against him.

At this time, he was completely awake and completely calmed down. Compared with Ma Lan, a man in Guanzhong thousands of years ago, he himself is a thoughtful person.

Leading the Han family to return to Anxi safely is just his instinct as a Han family.

A few years later, it is the time when the smoke is everywhere, and if you want to gain a foothold in the troubled times, you can't have enough capital.

Leading thousands of Han family sons and daughters to return to Anxi safely was an opportunity for Du Huan to seek fame, and it was also an opportunity for him.

Because of the momentary spirit, the great achievement of this time was damaged, and it was too much to gain and outweigh the losses.

"Don't worry about joining the army, it's the rich who die, just like in Sa Mojian. Those small families and small households, our brothers will not go in, so it is not a slaughter. ”

"The price to be paid, the catcher has already paid, so that's it!"

Du Huan let out a sigh of relief, only to find that his body had been wet with cold sweat.

……

Ma Lan looked at the blazing Fishing City.

Now the operation of the Anxi Army has come to an end. The mansions of the rich merchants were still burning, but the people inside were already dead.

The civilians of the city were not violated, most of them were hiding in their homes, and some of them were already standing on the streets, carrying basins of water to fight the fire, but they were stopped by the heavily armed Anxi athletes.

Ma Lu was a little glad at this time, he didn't make a mess when he was furious just now, it was really a slaughter city, otherwise the city would not be like this.

In the heart of the ranger who wanted to come to Chang'an City, he didn't bother to do such a thing.

But it's not a good thing to always get out of control like this, after all, it is necessary to completely remove the influence of that guy from the body.

"Occupy your body, I will live for you. You don't have to toss anymore, okay? ”

……

Ma Ling's military order was passed on, and the Anxi army regrouped in the city, and some bold Sogdians poured water basins into the fire, and the Anxi army athletes no longer stopped them.

More and more people are coming out of their homes and joining the ranks of firefighting. Many of the poor had already gotten in before the flames were completely extinguished, and began to scavenge for the remnants of the contents.

This time, in the capture and drinking city, more than 1,000 robes were rescued, all of which were fully equipped, and more than 600 tribal warriors were also obtained.

Counting the existing ones under the command of Khiberno, the number of tribal soldiers once again reached two thousand. The Han family had more than 7,000 soldiers who could fight, and there were more than 1,000 wounded soldiers and the old and weak.

In the Battle of Talas, there were about 10,000 captured Han family children, and most of them are now here.

And this is the limit of what Ma Lu can do, those Anxi athletes who were transported to Mulu City or even Kufa City, he really couldn't do anything.

……

"In the battle of Xiaobolu, Xianzhi was the deputy envoy of the four towns of Anxi, and there was the envoy of the festival above Meng Lingcha. After the big victory, it was supposed to be reported by Fu Meng Lingcha, but Xian Zhi sent someone to report his military exploits on the way to the class, which made Fu Meng Lingcha extremely dissatisfied. ”

In the city, in a large mansion, Du Huan sat under Ma Lan and talked eloquently.

The room was a little dark, and there was no one else, except for the two of them, only a dozen Sogdian maidens. Those were all Zoroastrian saints found in the secret Zoroastrian shrine built by the sass, and they were taken captive here by the army.

Around these beautiful Sogdian maidens, there were large pieces of sir, precious stones of various colors, and a few quaint sheepskin handscrolls. Every treasure in it is precious.

"If the military merits are reported by the hands of Fu Meng Lingcha, Xianzhi's merits will naturally be greatly reduced. Xianzhi reported directly to the imperial court, although Fumeng Lingcha was dissatisfied, he was helpless. After this incident, Fumeng Lingcha was conscripted into the court, and Xianzhi took his place. ”

"General, the credit of our waiting is by no means less than the credit of Xianzhi's attack on Lianyun Castle. Such a credit must not be shared by others! ”

Ma Lan nodded and said, "Go on!" ”

"Xianzhi will inevitably be conscripted into the court after this defeat. Whoever succeeds him as deputy protector will not fail to share some of our credit. Therefore, we can only use Xianzhi's old skills, and directly send people to ride fast horses across the green ridge into Anxi, and double the road into Chang'an. ”

"These treasures and beauties are used to deal with the big guys in the court, and the tribute to the Son of Heaven is also given. With the merits of this time, with the general's rank in Anxi, it is not impossible to directly become the deputy capital protector! Du Huan's eyes lit up and he said in a loud voice.

Ma Lan smiled and glanced at the little saints. The little saints were all inexplicably frightened, and hugged each other tighter.

"General, when it is broken, it will be broken, and when it is late, it will change!"

"Joining the army, let me ask you, so many treasures, and these little girls, even if they ride a fast horse, how can they reach Anxi safely, let alone Chang'an?"

Du Huan said: "Select five hundred knights to escort, all the countries at the southern foot of the Green Mountains are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and it is not difficult to borrow the road." After entering Anxi, all roads have been cleared, and then you can pretend to be a caravan and go to Chang'an. ”

Ma Xuan said: "Anxi is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and by the time the messenger arrives in Chang'an, we should have already returned to Anxi, and if we want not to be shared by others, how easy is it to talk about?" ”

"As long as the general returns to Anxi and does not mention the existence of messengers. Whoever succeeds him as the envoy of the Four Towns will not be faster than our messenger. As long as our messenger is faster than the new envoy of the Four Towns, no one will be able to share the credit. ”

Du Huan's words are conclusive, obviously he has been planning this matter for a long time.

Ma Lan smiled and nodded, and threw a huge flame-like gem in his hand to Du Huan.

"It's so good, but in this way, I'm afraid that General Gao will be unlucky!"
