Chapter 2 Courtesy
After a while, a group of cavalry rushed out of the Chiling Pass, dressed similarly to the Tubo man just now, wearing a bowl-topped hat, combing small braids, and wrapping hard leather as armor. Among them, there is a difference is the arm ornament, which is divided into sese, gold, gold ornaments, silver, silver, and copper, and is mounted on a three-inch radius of the arm, which is placed in front of the arm, indicating the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels.
The group of men and horses came to the front of the Tang people, and a man in the middle put his right hand on his left chest, bent down on the horse, glanced at the gorgeous carriage behind, and said: "Chen Langfu paid a visit to Her Royal Highness Princess Jincheng, and on the order of Zampu, the minister will escort Her Royal Highness on the road thereafter." โ
Zhang Shuo hugged his fists and said politely: "The noble envoy of Duomeng greeted him from afar, and I thanked the noble envoy for his thoughtful courtesy on behalf of the Tang Dynasty." โ
Lang Fu smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." He turned his head and said a few words in Tubo with the generals beside him, and several people around him looked at each other and smiled.
Xue Chongxun asked the person next to him: "I remember that you seem to understand Tubo, what were they talking about just now?" โ
The guard said angrily, "They said that this time it was the real princess who came to the door, and Zampu had to have fun again." โ
Xue Chongxun was furious when he heard this, slapped the horse's buttocks, kicked the horse's belly with his foot, shouted "Huo", and stepped forward, and the soldiers around him hurriedly kicked the horse to follow, and Zhang Wulang and others also protected him.
"What do you mean?" Seeing that the situation was wrong, Lang's expression changed drastically, and his guards hurriedly blocked the front. Xue Chongxun scolded: "Insult my princess, come and die!" โ
The second general of Tubo patted his horse to block, and suddenly heard two string sounds of "bang", two arrow feathers flew out of the Tang army, and the two fell off their horses in response. At this time, I heard Zhang Shuo exclaim: "Don't be unreasonable! โ
Xue Chongxun was not a bird, he was holding a Da Mo knife, and he slashed at the Lang clan head-on, Lang didn't expect such a situation, he was shocked, and hurriedly raised the handle of the knife with both hands to block. There was a loud bang, the war horse under the seat was in pain, neighed, and bent its front hooves, and the Lang family rolled off the horse from the horse's head without paying attention, but did not fall, and got up as soon as he was bone, and was just about to pull out the scimitar, the Mo knife had passed across like the sickle of death, and with a "click" sound, I saw a head with flying pigtails flying, and the blood on the headless corpse rushed out like a fountain.
The rest of the Tubo cavalry was about to run away when he turned his horse's head, and Xue Chongxun said angrily: "Kill them all!" โ
In the Flying Tiger Regiment, they were only a few steps apart, and if they didn't miss, it was better to die, and those Tubo cavalry were suddenly shot into hedgehogs.
Zhang Shuo looked at the corpse in front of him dumbfounded, and shouted at Xue Chongxun angrily: "King Hedong, what have you done!" This person is the Tubo nobleman Lang clan, and Chiling later had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses from the Lang clan! In order to be quick for a while, where will you and the more than 1,000 people in your family group, and where will you put the world in the court?! โ
Xue Chongxun didn't see any guilt on his face, and only said coldly: "In less than a moment, Chiling will set a light cavalry attack, now what we have to do is not to complain and justify, it is the right thing to retreat quickly!" โ
Zhang Shuo sighed sadly: "Can you get out? I'll wait for a break! โ
Xue Chongxun raised the bloody Mo knife and said, "Discard a qiฤ baggage, the army turned and retreated, and everyone else left behind." โ
The bands, mechanics, retinues, and others were in an uproar and became indignant. Xue Chongxun didn't care about them, rode to the front of the four carriages, Jin Cheng was looking at the situation outside behind the curtain, only to see Xue Chongxun hugging his fists and saying: "It's timely, Your Highness come out quickly." โ
When Jin Cheng hurriedly got off the carriage, Xue Chongxun had already jumped off the horse, and he couldn't break up, so he hugged her slender waist and hugged the horse, and then turned over and got on the horse, letting Jin Cheng sit behind him and ride together.
At this time, Xue Chongxun shouted: "The Flying Tiger Regiment will go with me!" After that, he turned the horse's head, patted the horse and left, and Zhang Wulang and the others immediately led their troops to follow.
Seeing this, Zhang Shuo scolded loudly, Xue Chongxun turned around and shouted loudly: "The four regiments of the Nanya soldiers are under the command of Zhang Xianggong, hurry up, otherwise the enemy soldiers will chase after you, and you will fight them?" โ
After a while, sure enough, a group of lightly armed cavalry had been assembled on the Chiling side, and the situation was already critical.
The Flying Tiger Regiment on Xue Chongxun's side left behind all the tents, tools, grain and grass, and the troops also fled cleanly, lightly and simply, and the speed was very fast. Zhang said that seeing this situation, he also brought the Nan Ya soldiers to follow, but he was pitiful for those Ding Fu who drove the baggage carriage, as well as those musicians and hundred workers, no one cared at all, they also grabbed horses everywhere and ran away in a swarm.
At this time, a horse left the team from the Flying Tiger Regiment and ran backwards, crossed the messy convoy, and ran to the Tubo pursuers for more than 200 steps before shouting: "The dowry of Jincheng, there are tens of thousands of silks, countless gold, silver and jewelry, all left to you!" Then he turned his horse's head and ran, and many arrows flew behind him, but they were not far enough, and they fell to the grass.
This subplot didn't work, after all, the other party was an army, but at least the organizational discipline was there, and they all looked greedily at the items on the ground, but they didn't stop. Some of the boxes were knocked over, and the jewels inside were shiny, and people drooled when they saw it.
This Tibetan pursuer only had a few hundred people, and the matter was in a hurry, and it was impossible to assemble the brigade immediately, so it could only send a forward force to pursue. However, there were more than 1,000 guards in the Tang Army, and the individual combat strength and armed equipment of the Tang Army were much higher than those of Tibet...... So they said it was a pursuit, but in fact they were following, waiting for the brigade to catch up.
However, the non-combatants on the side of the family sending team were unlucky, some rode mules in embarrassment, and some were not good at equestrianism, often falling down and climbing with a roll. When the Tibetan soldiers caught up with the rabble behind, they slaughtered mercilessly like slaughtering sheep. Xue Chongxun didn't intend to care about their lives or deaths at all.
The wolf bรจi fled, but some of the generals laughed and shouted that it was really happy to cut the general with a knife.
Jin Cheng asked behind Xue Chongxun, "Xue Lang killed the Tubo man who greeted him?" โ
Xue Chongxun smiled without looking back: "It's ......" he lowered his voice and said, "I have long wanted to find an opportunity to stir up the situation, I just happened to meet this disgusting Lang clan, slaughtered our city, and came to greet his relatives decently, if he doesn't die, who will die?" โ
Jin Cheng said softly: "Have you thought about the consequences? โ
Xue Chongxun said: "Let's go back to China first, I guess I will be punished by my mother, but it's not a big deal, it's a big deal to cut off the throne, compared to you, those things are lighter than a feather." โ
Jin Cheng hesitantly stretched out his hand, gently hugged his waist, and said softly: "It is a great crime to provoke a war between countries...... But what Xue Lang said is also right, as long as he can go back, his life should be worry-free. โ
Xue Chongxun deeply thinks that for people at the top of the pyramid, crime is a trivial matter, and sitting crookedly is a big thing. As long as he is not an enemy of Taiping, it is unlikely that Taiping will put his own son to death. (Like those vassal kings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, what did they do at the beginning to let their own daughters go to bed, abuse the people, and other bad things?) There's no. But when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to reduce the feudal domain and gather Chinese power, they opposed it by force, and as a result, something happened, and the new and old accounts were counted together. ๏ผ
"Xue Lang is not a king, and I am not a princess, so we can be commoners." Jin Cheng's arms gradually tightened. Xue Chongxun's back felt two warm soft clinges, and he groaned secretly in his heart, snatching back such a beautiful woman who captivated the country and the city, he didn't regret it at all, and felt that it was worth it to do any bad things.
Xue Chongxun said: "No one can snatch you, and kissing is a stupid thing in itself, and any court plan is worthless in my opinion." โ
At this time, Prime Minister Zhang Shuo rode his horse to Xue Chongxun's side, and said with an angry face: "How does the King of Hedong plan to return to China?" Chiling is more than 200 miles away from Shanzhou, let's flee in a hurry, the horses are lost, you want to let one person and one rider rush for 200 miles? โ
Xue Chongxun said in his heart: After the eight or nine hundred Nanya soldiers broke off the foot, the horses were escorted to the Flying Tiger Regiment to return to Jincheng, and the problem could be solved; Sometimes it's dragged together, and you can only play it all...... But Rao is his heart is dark, and he is embarrassed to say it directly, so he thinks in his heart, and when he asks the Nan Ya soldiers to go to Shibao City, most of them will be fierce and auspicious, and then the horses will be there.
He thought about it and said: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and I have my own plans." โ
Zhang Shuo sighed for a long time and said: "King of Hedong, you are still a relative of the emperor, how can I say you?!" โ
At this time, I only heard Jin Cheng say: "Zhang Xianggong, you should find a way to return to China now, don't complain about Xue Lang anymore." โ
Zhang said angrily: "Woe to the country! It's okay not to agree to go to war directly with your relatives, but now we don't pay attention to faithfulness, and we actually kill people when we send our relatives, where is the face of national prestige? โ
Jin Cheng was speechless.
Xue Chongxun said coldly: "Watching others slaughter the city, and then sending the princess will have the face of national prestige?" He is unkind to me and unjust! What kind of faith and righteousness to talk about with jackals, real swords and real guns are the right thing. โ
The army ran all the way for dozens of miles, and when the sun was setting, the scouts in front rushed to report: "I just found out, Shibao City has sent troops to block the road." โ
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, and said in his heart: There is no need to fool the southern soldiers to attack the city anymore, now is the right time to fight. He asked, "How many centaurs?" โ
The person said: "About 1,000 rides." โ
Xue Chongxun beckoned Zhang Shuo to come and said to him: "Shibao City has sent more than 1,000 troops to block my front road, and only by quickly defeating it can we take the road and leave." We went our separate ways, Zhang Xianggong turned around to deal with the group of men and horses chasing behind, and I led the Flying Tiger Regiment to defeat the enemy soldiers in front. Questions? โ
Zhang Shuo frowned and said: "There are only a few hundred people in the back, and my four regiments of southern soldiers are more than enough to deal with them, but your Flying Tiger Regiment is two hundred against one thousand?" โ
Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "The Tibetan savages are like grass dogs in my eyes, and I can simply look down on them with a dozen or five." โ
Zhang "snorted", hugged his fists and said: "This is very good, I hope you will do your best, if the battle is unfavorable, I will divide my troops and save again." โG
