Thank you dwgrggr111 book friends for the tip, thank you, thank you
……
The Turkic knight replied respectfully, turned his horse's head and galloped deeper into the camp.
After a while, a huge tent in the camp was lit up, and more than a dozen horsemen galloped out of the camp with torches held high and arrived in front of Yang Yu.
The leader was a white-bearded old man, looking at Yang Pre and respectfully said: "The old man Brother Shu Chongyuan, Xi is the patriarch of the Geshu tribe, I don't know what the envoy ordered when he came late at night?" ”
Yang pre-said: "On the order of General Ma Xuan, I came to ask the patriarch of the Geshu tribe. ”
"Speak, messenger." Geshu Chongyuan said respectfully.
Yang pre-said: "My general asks you, how much did the black-clothed thief rebel lose?" ”
Geshu Chongyuan's face showed sadness, and he said in a low voice: "There are more than 2,000 clansmen, and there are countless sheep and horses. ”
Yang Yu nodded, and said: "My general asked the patriarch of Geshu, do you want to take revenge and recover your losses?" ”
"Naturally, I thought about it, but the black-clothed thief was menacing......"
"Just think about it." Yang Yu interrupted Geshu Chongyuan, "If you want to take revenge on Xue Xue and recover your losses, I asked the patriarch to gather three thousand light horsemen and do something with me." My general said that now among the five Jin tribes, only Geshu is still available. ”
"The old man didn't understand the messenger's words." Geshu Chongyuan frowned and said, "Are you going to attack the black-clothed thief at night?" The general was recruited, and Geshu didn't dare not obey the order, but the soldiers were in danger, so why not wait until Pingming to send troops? ”
"It's just a matter of killing thousands of black-clothed thieves who have laid down their weapons, so why wait until Pingming! If it weren't for the fact that my family's general status was special and inconvenient, why bother! Yang Yu sneered and said, "Isn't Geshu not only afraid to fight, but also dare not kill people?" ”
Listening to Yang Yu's words, Elder Ge Shuzhong's face turned red. However, he immediately understood Yang Yu's words, and said in surprise: "Listen to the envoy's meaning, could it be that the general has already broken the thief?" ”
Yang Yu nodded and said proudly: "The black-clothed thief has been broken, most of the battle dead, and the rest have been captured." The general of my family didn't want these villains to live anymore, but someone was helpless to restrain him, so he ordered me to ask the patriarch to help. In return, the horses and sheep stolen by the black-clothed thief, Geshu can go to pick them up first to make up for the previous losses. My general said that if the Geshu tribe is unwilling to send troops, let me ask other tribes. ”
"It's been a thief! It's already a thief! Willing, how can you not be willing! Geshu Chongyuan was surprised, and he was a little incoherent for a while, "General Xie Ma of Geshu is gracious!" This grace will never be forgotten! ”
Yang Yu's face showed a hint of a smile, and he nodded: "Patriarch, please hurry up and order troops." I discussed the specific situation with the patriarch in detail on the way. ”
"Good! Good! Geshu Chongyuan nodded again and again, so excited that his white beard was about to fly, "Point soldiers!" Point soldiers! Hurry up and let the Erlang come out, don't alarm other tribes! ”
The knights were all excited, and hurriedly rode their horses to the various tents to give orders. The whole camp soon became chaotic, and strong Turkic herders came out of their tents, hurriedly put on leather armor, and gathered together with their weapons.
There are tens of thousands of people in the Geshu tribe, and it is not a problem to gather 3,000 light horsemen. In the darkness of the night, 3,000 men, all men and horses, marched out of the camp with torches aloft and galloped away in a northwesterly direction.
Yang Pre and Ge Shu Chongyuan were at the front, and briefly talked to him about the current situation.
Geshu Chongyuan had seen the madness of the black-clothed soldiers with his own eyes, and those ragged guys didn't seem to be afraid of death at all. Such an army of 20,000 people, although he knew that it could not be the opponent of Wang Shi, he did not expect that the black-clothed soldiers would be defeated so quickly.
During the day, Wang Shi left Shule City, and at night the black-clothed soldiers were defeated, and they were completely defeated, and 20,000 troops were wiped out!
All he had to do now was to intercept and kill thousands of black-clad prisoners of war, and then plunder the black-clad camp. He understood that this was a great gift from Ma Lu to Geshubu, and he was extremely grateful in his heart.
"This time, the general's kindness, my brother Shu Chongyuan swears here, and future generations will never forget!"
Yang Zhen smiled and said: "In this case, let's talk about it when I see the general in the future!" But this time, you have to remember that it is you who will intercept and kill these black-clothed thieves, and you will have to bear the consequences yourself, and you have nothing to do with my general. ”
"Yes, yes, yes! The old man understood. The old man relied on his scouts to find these prisoners of war, and sent troops to intercept them in order to avenge his clansmen. Geshu Chongyuan nodded again and again.
Yang Pre led the army to gallop for dozens of miles, and arrived at the position where the torch was lit before. At this time, the sky was already slightly pale, Yang pre-asked Geshu Chongyuan to pass the order, and all the Geshu light horsemen extinguished their torches, and the army turned around, avoiding the messy horses' hoof tracks on the ground, and continued to move forward with a big bend.
……
After the Anxi army cleaned up the battlefield, Ma Lu issued an order, and the 1,000 cavalry led by Han Wu were collected from outside the camp, and the foot soldiers also returned to the camp at the same time.
The recruits no longer vomited, and one by one they looked extremely excited. Many people's eyes were filled with tears, because their father and brother died at the hands of the black-clothed thief, and now they are avenging their father and brother.
Ma Lan and Du Huan whispered a few words, Du Huan nodded with a painful face, stood in the center of the barracks and said loudly: "General Ma's order!" This battle is based on military law, and all soldiers are rewarded with 20 taels each! ”
He was notoriously loud and could be heard by everyone in the camp. Immediately, there was jubilation in the camp, and the killers cheered happily.
"General Xie's reward!"
"The general is happy!"
"Twenty bucks! Lao Tzu sent it! ”
“……”
Duan Xiushi glanced at Ma Lan dissatisfiedly, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. 5,000 soldiers, 20 taels of money each, that's 100,000 yuan! He and Du Huan are in charge of the other treasury, and he knows best how many families he has. Although there are still a lot of looted fruits in the river, they can't stand such flowing water.
The general's order has nothing to do with military discipline at all, and the award is absolutely awarded, according to the military law, the three turns of the order are the same, how can the military law ever say that if you get it, you will be given a reward of 20 tassels?
His heart hurt, but after all, Ma Lu was the main general, and in front of everyone, Duan Xiushi didn't say much.
Ma Lan smiled and patted Duan Xiushi on the shoulder, and then led the two of them to gallop out to see those Persian prisoners of war.
The Persian soldiers numbered less than three thousand, all strung in strings with ropes, and five hundred foot soldiers watched them. Bian Lingcheng and Feng Changqing were asking Mu Kun questions.
The long arrow on Mu Kun's leg had been pulled out by the medical officer, and it was simply wrapped, no longer oozing blood, and his face was a little better. However, it is obvious that his two legs are useless, and his two knees have been shot by the strongest seven-stone bow with an arrow, which has long been broken into pieces, and it will be extremely difficult to deal with in the future generations, let alone this era.
Seeing Ma Luan, Mu Kun lowered his head. He also knew that this was the chief general of the Tang Army, and he was defeated by this general tonight.
Bian Lingcheng looked at Ma Ling and smiled: "Renjie, we have already asked clearly." Mu Kun was confused for a while this time, and he just wanted to prove himself. Anyway, we don't have anything to lose, it's not a big deal. If they are willing to take it in, we will report it to them, and it will be good to follow the old example of Shattar. The Mu Kun clan can also be regarded as a daring person, and staying in Anxi may also be a big help. ”
Ma Lan smiled: "Just follow the angel." ”
"Alright, that's it." Bian Lingcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Mu Kun, now Anxi is the head of this General Ma Lan, and if he agrees, you can settle down in this Anxi." I hope you can become another Shatuo, do your best to be loyal to the king, and don't live up to the kindness of Datang to your family again. ”
"Thank you angels, thank you generals. The little slave will lead the clansmen to keep to themselves and protect the Tang Dynasty forever! Mu Kun said continuously.
Ma Lu pointed to the Persian prisoner of war on the side and said with a smile: "Mu Kun, I know that you and your guards are serving the Fire Worship Sect, and now your guards are dead. These people who are alive can be seen at a glance as Hu Da's followers. My Datang can tolerate Huozheng, but I can't tolerate Hu Da. How are you going to deal with this? If you can't get them to convert to Huozhen, you will have no hope of recovering the country. ”
Mu Kun glanced up at Ma Luan, then lowered his head again and said, "What the general said is also a little slave's heart disease. These are the slave people, but they have forgotten the god of light, and they have forgotten the family of the slaves. I didn't dare to deceive the generals, they didn't know my identity, and thought that I was just like them, and I was also a believer in Nahuda. If I tell me who I am, they will not listen to me. ”
Ma Lu said: "Do you have a solution?" ”
Mu Kun smiled bitterly and said, "No." I'm afraid of the identity of Hu Da's believer, and the little slave has to pretend to be in front of them. ”
Bian Lingcheng snorted and said, "Since that's the case, what use do you want!" ”
Mu Kun's body trembled, and he lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, angel, I will solve this matter slowly." ”
Ma Lan sneered and said, "That's good! General Ben gives you three years! The will of the Son of Heaven will come down, and you will definitely let your clan settle in my Anxi, today General Ben will put this word here, three years later, if your clan still has a belief in Hu Da, this general will lead a large army to personally wash the four realms, no one will be left! At that time, Hugh blames General Ben for not being humane! ”
Bian Lingcheng bowed his head and asked with a smile: "General Ma wanted to kill you all today, and it was a certain family that saved your lives." But if General Ma goes crazy, even a certain family can't stop it. Mu Kun, three years, is it enough? ”
Mu Kun glanced up at Ma Lan, only to feel that Ma Lan's gaze was like a blade, and he couldn't help lowering his head and muttering, "Enough!" That's enough! ”
"From today, three years, not even one more day!" Ma Lan sneered, "If you can't do it at that time, hum!" ”
"Renjie, don't frighten him." Feng Changqing smiled and said, "It's useless to talk more, just do it when the time comes." ”
Mu Kun laughed miserably and stopped talking.
Why didn't he want these people to return to the embrace of the God of Light? But he also knew how difficult it was.
However, no matter how difficult it is, he must work hard to do it.
Because only by doing this can these people live. Only by doing this can he rely on the strength of these people to chase his dream of restoring the country.
