Chapter 481: A Day Trip to Tokyo
*****
The howling west wind swept the long yellow sand, which could not hide the fierce battle at the head of Yochang City. ,!
As an important city on the southern route of the Silk Road, the wealth in it will definitely not be less.
The one who breaks the city first will get fifty percent of the spoils.
In order to win the rich rewards after the war, the four Uighurs of Xizhou fought extremely desperately, and the grass-headed Tatars had relatively few troops.
The city of Yochang is only a zhang high, plus the ladder, a few verticals can turn over the city, plus there are only 6,000 defenders in the city, after being divided into four city walls, each city wall is only more than 1,000 people, under the fierce attack of the four armies, in just one hour, the city of Yochang is already precarious, crumbling.
Fortunately, Salva organized thousands of young men to join the defense of the city, and the city was not breached for the time being.
The yellow sand wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you won't return it.
Chong Jianzhong stood expressionlessly under the banner of Shuai, he had been fighting since he was a teenager, and now it has been more than 20 years, he has seen countless lives and deaths, and he has long been indifferent to the bloody scene in Yochang City.
Yochang City, he is bound to win.
And they have to take the city in one day.
Because this time there is no intention to start an all-out war against the Black Khan, just to establish power, if you want to get the best deterrent effect, then you must invade like fire, destroy the city and destroy the pool like a huge wave rushing sand, so that the enemy will be frightened when he hears it.
In return, the 30,000 reinforcements from Khotan will arrive in one day at most, led by the famous Black Khan general Akmore. According to the information in his possession, Akmor led his army to fight against the Western Black Khanate, the Western Uighurs, and the Sega on several occasions, and achieved great successes. It's not easy to get along with.
Although the strength of the hands in the construction of the plant is similar, the composition is complex, and the construction of the plant is very clear. This kind of army can only fight with the wind, and when it has the advantage, it will compete for the first place, and it is extremely fierce;
Once a bitter battle is encountered, the various units will inevitably be suspicious of each other and seek their own protection, and it is very easy for command to fail, or even a certain unit will flee first, leading to a major collapse.
Now it is another labor expedition, if it is really against the 30,000 Black Khan army of Ackmore. The odds of winning in the planting center are less than 50%.
Even if he can win by luck, it will definitely be a crushing victory, so the deterrent effect is not as good as quickly pacifying the city of Yochang, and then calmly withdrawing his troops before Ackmore's arrival, so that Black Khan can't figure out the truth and reality.
In addition, Tokyo does not want a full-scale war in the northwest, and the ideal effect is to pull a group of younger brothers. Constant attacks and intrusions, encroaching step by step, so that the Great Song Dynasty did not have to contain too much energy in the Western Regions, and could form uninterrupted pressure on the black sweat, so as to provide armed support for the Buddha and Taoism.
The idea is good. But this is a real war, not a child's play, if one is not good, the overall situation will get out of control, and the pressure in the planting and construction center is very great.
The Western Regions will make it possible for him to become a famous general through the ages and leave a name in history;
Similarly, it may also make him sink into the sand and never recover.
If he can give it a go, he won't have too many worries in Jianzhong, but now in order to take care of the overall situation, he is restrained, which is the most difficult part for him.
The west wind was tight, the yellow sand was pervasive, the war drums under the city were like thunder, the sound of killing on the city shook the sky, the blood soaked the city, soaked the yellow sand, and the black sweat soldiers, under the guidance of the crescent moon banner and under the beckoning of Allah, fought to the death with the infidels who attacked the city, so that the casualties of the various departments were also very large.
The war has reached this level, it is no longer just for the wealth of the city, countless blood has dyed the eyes of both sides red, all fame and fortune are not important now, let's be a killing machine first, first cut down the enemy, trample under the feet, and then it is possible to talk about other things.
The casualties of the various tribes, Chong Jianzhong is actually happy to see, which may be very cruel, but war is a cruel thing, if the tribes continue to grow because of the war, this is not in the interests of the Great Song Dynasty;
The ideal result is that while these little brothers increase their wealth, their vitality will be continuously consumed;
Increasing wealth will make them more fanatical;
And the weakening of the vital force will make them more dependent on the Great Song, otherwise they will become fat sheep surrounded by wolves.
There was a sudden burst of fanatical cheers from the west of the city, and I faintly heard someone shouting that the city was broken, and the other tribal armies on three sides heard it, and their hearts were in a hurry, and the attack was more violent, hoping to break the city first.
The final result came, in the end, it was the Achaibu in the west who broke through the city first, and as soon as the west side was broken, the defense of the entire Yochang City suddenly collapsed.
Allah is not omnipotent, and Allah's followers, no matter how fanatical, are flesh and blood, and they know fear and life.
The armies of all tribes rushed into the city, and the slightest resistance was slashed, and the entire city of Yochang was bleeding, and the cry was shocking, and there was no intention to stop it, who let Salva persecute the people of the Great Song Dynasty first, who let them not surrender.
Those who offend me in China will be punished even if they are far away.
Otherwise, it is not enough to deter the four yi, and the cultivation of Jianzhong this time is to promote the Western Regions.
The west wind is getting tighter, the sky is cloudy, the cold wave is rolling in, and winter is coming.
What about Ackmore's army, is it still far from the city of Jochan?
***
It snowed heavily in Beijing, and Yelu Yanxi had to suspend the plan to drive the expedition.
After receiving the news from the staff hall, the government hall was full of joy.
Yang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who had just returned to Beijing, even joked: "Yelu Yanxi doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he doesn't judge the right time, the right place and the right people, he is victorious or defeated, and the people who are sitting in the house are sad, this time the fool also has a foolish fortune, so as to teach him to escape a catastrophe, hahaha!" ”
And all of them laughed.
Everyone discussed the matter of Enke and the autumn tax, and there was no major matter, so the meeting was dismissed.
On the third day of the first month of October, Empress Dowager Liu took Zhao Jie to the Xijing Imperial Mausoleum as usual, and the clan's chariots and horses accompanied each other.
Shishu families also went out of the city to sweep the tombs and worship their ancestors, just like the Qingming Festival.
At the same time, the people all set up wine to hold a stove party, and the neighbors gathered together to drink and eat, which was extremely lively.
There is a holiday to relax, Yang Yi took Qingniang out early in the morning, and there was no clear goal. It is to wander along the street and enjoy the fun, and by the way, find some antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Yang Yi wore a round-necked robe with dark blue and blue sprinkled satin, while Qing Niang wore a dark red gold jacquard satin collared long jacket. light lake blue pinched gold catkins floral dress;
Yang Yi was afraid that she would freeze, so he put a purple feather veil on her outside. She also deliberately combed a concentric bun today, and a white jade inlaid red coral bead double knot ruyi hairpin was inserted in the bun. Dressed up in a luxurious and beautiful manner, like a Yaotai fairy.
As long as he came out with Yang Yi, even if he just lay on the car window to enjoy the scenery along the street, Qing Niang was also happy, and when he arrived at Fanlou Street, the two of them got out of the car and walked, shopping shop by store, just like young men and women in later generations shopping hand in hand;
When you see something fun and novel, you buy it. Now there are banknotes, convenient, the face value of fifty banknotes Yang Yi carried a thick stack, not enough for the car, anyway, it will not live up to the wishes of the beauty.
Qing Niang now has a fate, and she is also paid, but in addition to collecting gold and stone calligraphy and paintings. In terms of miscellaneous use on weekdays, she has always been very frugal.
No, in a jewelry store, she obviously fell in love with a pair of red gold ring beads and nine-turn exquisite bracelets, but when she heard the applause, she refused to ask for 150 yuan. She immediately pulled Yang Yi to leave.
"Qing Niang, do you remember the last time we bought that piece of Tianhuang Jelly?" Yang Yi took two steps with her and said with a smile.
"What is Brother Yang going to do?" Qing Niang immediately asked vigilantly.
"Otherwise, Brother Yang will be demoted back to the official again, and Qingniang, you will ....... again"
Qing Niang didn't wait for him to finish, and immediately wrinkled her cute little nose and said, "No! For the sake of such mundane things, people don't do that kind of thing! ”
"Hehe, that's good, money is more vulgar, carrying so much on my body makes me vulgar too." Yang Yi took out the thick stack of banknotes, threw them on the counter, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, this thing is too vulgar, I'm too lazy to do it, you can count one hundred and fifty by yourself." ”
The shopkeeper was startled, this big stack of banknotes as thick as bricks, I was afraid that there would be no more than 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, so he threw garbage into the counter, so that the shopkeeper almost died of myocardial infarction.
"Count it, find a blank piece of paper and wrap it for me." Yang Yi added.
"Brother Yang." Qing Niang knew that he was deliberately teasing herself, so she couldn't help but stomp on her lotus feet, and she was coquettish.
"This official, please wait." The shopkeeper was in a hurry, and repeatedly instructed the shopkeeper to wrap the bracelet, and he carefully began to count the money.
"Wait, shopkeeper, is such a good bracelet really only sold for one hundred and fifty pieces? It's not going to be too much of a loss to you, is it? Yang Daguan said again.
The shopkeeper's breath didn't catch up, he was holding back his muscles and muscles, his hands and feet trembled, he really wanted to slap himself a few ear scrapers, why didn't he see that this person was a nerd just now, he knew that the asking price was 1,000 yuan....... no, 2,000 yuan, no, three thousand......
"Shopkeeper, if this pair of bracelets is sold for 150 yuan is too much loss, or I will sell 200 yuan, will you sell it?"
"Sell!"
It's a fool not to sell, and the shopkeeper feels like he touches the hand of his first lover for the first time, and his heart is about to jump out.
"Look at your bad face, you must be still at a loss, two hundred and fifty times, you can't sell it!"
"Sell! Sell! "This time it's time to take off the clothes of the first love, and the shopkeeper's hands are shaking even more.
"Three hundred"
"Sell, sell, sell!"
"Three hundred and fifty times."
"Sell, sell, sell!"
"Four hundred."
"Sell, sell, sell."
"Four hundred and fifty times."
"Sell, why don't you sell."
"Fifty times."
"Sell, why don't you sell."
"Okay, everyone, you can hear it, the shopkeeper said that fifty yuan was sold, Xiao Er, bring the bracelet, you, look at you can't count fifty yuan in half a day, you don't need to count, bring it."
Scholar Yang didn't make money this time, snatched the thick stack of banknotes from the stunned shopkeeper, and gently took out a fifty-piece face value and threw it on the counter.
This unique scene has already attracted several customers in the store, and everyone thought that Yang Yi was a fool, but in the end, when they saw that the money-hungry shopkeeper was played like this, they couldn't help laughing out loud.
The shopkeeper finally came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but howl: "Big official, you raise your noble hand, this bracelet is really going to lose money when it sells fifty times!" I can't sell it......"
"Stop, this merchant is talking about integrity, I will give you 300 yuan for this bracelet and you will sell it, and you will sell it for 400 yuan, you are not afraid of losing me? You're not afraid of losing me, why am I afraid of losing you? Let's talk about whether this is the reason. ”
The shopkeeper seemed to have fallen into the ice kiln from the sea of passionate desire, and said tremblingly, "Ouch, this grandfather, you will spare a small one, to tell you the truth, this bracelet will be purchased in our store for fifty times, you can do well, give a fifty yuan, and you can take the bracelet." ”
"You are not honest, who believes you?"
The shopkeeper was so anxious that he was about to hang himself, seeing that there were more and more people entering the store to see the excitement, and the reputation of the store was really over, he hurriedly turned out the account book and showed it to Yang Yi: "Master, this is the account book of the purchase, don't believe it, the villain really didn't lie to you this time." ”
Sure enough, the purchase price above is really fifty times.
"Okay, shopkeeper, you're so dark, the purchase price is fifty yuan, and you ask me for one hundred and fifty yuan, it's too dark, it's too dark."
"Master, fifty times, fifty times, take the bracelet and go." When I entered the store, there were two more people.
"I'm not leaving yet."
"Master, did I send you for nothing?"
"It's pretty much the same, forget it, I don't want you to give it away for nothing, I'm an honest person, I'll give you twenty times."
"Thank you for this, thank you for this master, welcome to ...... next time"
"Again, huh?"
"No, no, no, master, I'll give you away for nothing!"
The shopkeeper finally collapsed. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
