Gao Sheji's hands were tied behind his back, and he said anxiously: "General Xu Lang, what we said is true, haven't you checked our waist card?" ”

Xu Lang waved his hand and said: "Whether you are really our army scout, we will know when someone from Shanzhou confirms it, don't worry, before the truth is known, I will only restrict your freedom, and I will not treat you badly." ”

Gao Sheji hurriedly said: "The Turkic army is marching day and night, it will come in an instant, they are all cavalry, not much slower than us, there is no danger to defend here, the defenders have to retreat quickly to defend Mingwei!" ”

Xu Lang sneered twice and said, "Your waist card is not fake, but how do I know that you didn't catch our scouts, pretending to be our people, and trying to take General Ben away in order to rob the local herdsmen?" This general has the responsibility of defending the land, how can he listen to your words and abandon his duties? ”

Xiong Kaishan paused and said: "If General Lang is worried about this, he can immediately notify all the tribes and tribes to move back to Mingweishu, these tribes are gone, what else can we capture if we are thieves?" ”

Xu Langjiang rolled his eyes and said, "Is it so easy for the tribe to migrate? If the news is not true, who will appease and compensate the tribes? Who will respond to the boss's questioning? Who bears the responsibility for deserting without permission? ”

Yan knows why he is not a soldier, but no matter how old he is, he said angrily: "Let your mother's bullshit!" We took such a big risk to send you the news, and you, the dog officer, are still suspicious, so aren't you afraid that if the news is true, when the Turkic army is overwhelmed, we will swallow you in one bite? ”

Xu Lang was furious, pointed at his nose and said, "Bastard, you dare to speak to Shangguan like this?" ”

Yan Zhihe straightened his chest and said: "Lao Tzu is not a soldier under you, where are you afraid?" ”

"Who are you?"

"Lao Tzu is a horse bandit!"

"Huh?"

General Xu Lang's eyes suddenly revealed a fierce light. Gao Sheji hurriedly said: "A few of them were asked by us to help. ”

Xu Lang said with a smile: "Aren't you a scout?" When has our scouts been so generous? Actually have the money to buy horse bandits? ”

Xiong Kaishan rolled his eyes angrily, and said with a pause: "We can't say these things clearly for a while. But I know that the Turkic army is coming, and it will not retreat. It's too late. ”

General Xu Lang sneered: "Two days ago, General Benlang received news that the Turks had indeed launched an attack on our border army!" ”

Gao Sheji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "You already know?" ”

General Xu Lang said proudly: "Of course, the Turks are attacking Juyanhai, not Baiting, hum!" You want to fish in troubled waters, right? ”

Gao Sheji was dumbfounded, and only said after a while: "Didn't I tell you just now that they were feints to attack Juyanhai?" Why are you still being fooled! ”

Xu Lang sneered and pointed at them, "You told me not to believe the beacon signal. Rather, I believe the words of a few of you who don't know if it's a horse bandit or a scout, or a Turkic spy? ”

Xu Lang didn't wait for him to answer, so he turned his face and waved his hand: "Escort a few of them down." Send it to Liangzhou Mansion for disposal! ”

The taxis waiting in the tent immediately dragged Gao Sheji and others to retreat. Gao Sheji was so anxious that he jumped to his feet and shouted: "Lang General! Lang Jiang, no matter what. You should also send someone to find out the truth, Lang will ......"

As soon as the tent was empty, Xu Lang paced with his hands behind his back for a while, and called, "Someone! ”

The personal soldiers at the tent walked into a person, hugged their fists and said: "General Lang!" ”

Xu Yisheng said: "Send a few brothers into the mountain pass to investigate. ”

Adjutant General Xiao Ningfeng asked, "Will Lang believe their words?" ”

Xu Lang said in a deep voice: "This matter is big, I'd rather believe it than believe it, and send a few people into the mountains to take a look." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Tian Ainu woke up slowly, she felt a thick warmth rushing to her face, she opened her eyes and looked, there was a fire not far in front of her, Yang Fan was sitting next to the fire, was carrying two pieces of dry cow dung into the fire, flashing fire light reflected his cheeks, flickering and dimming seemed to shine on the blade.

After more than two months of wind and sand grinding in the snowy desert, after such a long time of displacement, Yang Fan has lost a lot of weight, but the whole person has become more refined because of this, and his momentum is a little sharp. His hair was unkempt, and the beard under his chin and sideburns that had not been shaved for a long time made him a little more handsome and wild as a man.

Looking at him quietly, a touch of shame suddenly flashed in Tianinu's eyes, and she remembered the confession she had made to Yang Fan when she was dying. She really wanted to close her eyes and not open them again, so as not to be embarrassed when facing him, but her eyes swept over Yang Fan's wrist and saw the strips of cloth wrapped there, and suddenly remembered his injury, and couldn't help but let out a soft "ah".

Yang Fan Huo Ran turned his head and said happily: "Are you awake?" ”

"Hmm!"

Tian Ainu was still neatly dressed, but she still shyly pulled the soft sheepskin jacket over her shoulders and whispered, "Your injury...... How's it going? ”

Yang Fan said: "It's nothing, a little injury." When you saw the felt tent, you fainted, and I couldn't drag you, so I crawled all the way to the felt tent and asked someone to rescue you. I've fed you a bowl of barley paste, are you feeling better now? ”

"Hmm!"

Tian Ainu still softly agreed, and asked, "Where is this?" ”

Yang Fan said: "This is already the jurisdiction of Bai Ting, this is a Qiang tribe, the men and horses of Moon and Mu Si take another road and will not pass through here, but Zhu Tu's army will definitely pass through here when they come from Yibi, I want to persuade them to move away from here quickly." However, I just talked to their people, and their Chinese language is too unpleasant, and I don't understand their language. ”

"I can do this!"

Tian Ainu turned over and sat up, thought for a while, and said: "Are the Qiang people who are nomadic in the Baiting area, they are more loyal to my Datang, where is their leader, I will go to see them!" ”

Tian Ainu struggled to stand up, but Yang Fan hurriedly supported her and said, "You don't have to worry, they have roughly understood a few words, and they have already gone to find their leader." ”

Tian Ainu sat down with peace of mind, her body was still relatively weak, and her ears litus and her heart beat as soon as she stood up, and it was indeed not suitable for any more exercise now.

I heard that this is a Qiang tribe to which Baiting belongs, and Tianainu is still relatively relieved. The Qiang people are a large ethnic group in the Western Regions. Its people are actually more numerous than the Tuyuhun or Turkic kingdoms that once dominated for a while. But the Qiang did not have a unified regime, and were very loosely organized, in order to compete for the steppe. The Qiang tribes are also fighting against each other all year round.

Therefore, they were later ruled by the Tuyuhun and the Turks respectively, and the contradictions between the Qiang and Turkic people have always been great. There were also times of conflict between Tuyuhun and the Qiang people, but later generations of Tuyuhun kings gradually paid attention to integration and co-optation, which made the Qiang people gradually return to their hearts.

Later, when the Tang people fought with Tuyuhun, many Qiang tribes killed Tang officials and defected to Tuyuhun, and the Tang people really couldn't talk about "harmony" here, but now Tuyuhun has been annexed by Tubo, and even the Tuyuhun royal family has been reduced to second-class citizens, which no longer has the attraction to the Qiang people.

At present, the Qiang people are the closest to the Han people among the ethnic minorities who remained in the Tang ruled areas. Now. There were a large number of Sogdian, Turkic, Tibetan, Qiang and other nomadic tribes in the Tang ruled area. The government is trying to change their nomadic habits and let them try farming, which creates new contradictions between them.

Let them abandon their pastures and plough. It's not just some herders who cling to tradition who can't accept it. Their leaders were even more unacceptable, because once farming became their main mode of production. Their power over the entire clan would be shaken and they would be easily taken over by the government.

However, this contradiction is mainly concentrated in the Sogdian and Turkic tribes that belong to it, and the Qiang people were already familiar with agriculture at an early age, and there is no such hard-line tribal ruling class as the Turks and Sogdians, so at present, among the various ethnic minorities in the Western Regions, the Qiang people have the most harmonious relationship with the Tang people.

"Erlang, I'm ......"

Tian Ainu sat down again, speechless for a while, wanted to say something to Yang Fan, but felt a little shy, didn't say anything to Yang Fan, and the tent was so quiet that she panicked, and finally mustered up the courage, just opened his mouth to call a sentence, Yang Fan had already handed over a wooden bowl, and said: "Drink some more paste, add a little meat to it, we have been hungry for a few days, let the stomach get used to it first." ”

"Oh......"

Tian Ainu's words were interrupted, she obediently took the wooden bowl, and took a small sip of the porridge that was boiled to a thin extent, she always felt that it seemed that she should say something to Yang Fan, at least...... She has already confessed her heart to Yang Fan.

In fact, this affection has always been hazy in her heart, and it was not until the moment of death that it suddenly became clear. Now, she has already told Yang Fan, Yang Fan also nodded vigorously at that time, she remembers this scene very clearly, she always feels ...... The relationship between the two is a little different from usual, but she doesn't know Weishenme, she feels that it seems to be more alienated from Yang Fan.

In the past, when she saw Yang Fan, Yang Fan would always find an opportunity to flick her tongue, but now they cross the desert together, drink together, hug each other when they sleep, and after the dying confession, he should have been closer to himself, but he seemed to be avoiding himself?

Tian Ainu drank the porridge in small sips, and sometimes glanced at Yang Fan, Yang Fan was still facing the fire, adding cow dung and firewood, and his demeanor was no longer relaxed and natural when she was not awake, his kind of concentration seemed to be pretended, as if he was afraid to face or talk to her.

Tian Ainu gradually became uneasy, could it be ...... He was just perfunctory to me at the time?

Thinking like this, Tian Ainu suddenly had an extremely panicked feeling in her heart, the nightmare of being abandoned and hurt by her loved ones when she was a child had been affecting her, she didn't dare to completely trust anyone, and she didn't dare to fall in love with anyone at ease, until she was desperately waiting for death, Yang Fan used his blood to lift the spell of her heart.

Therefore, Tian Ainu poured the emotions that had been suppressed for more than ten years into a person at once, that was different from anyone else's love, it was a kind of fanaticism, a liliang that she couldn't control herself at all, but Yang Fan's attitude made her panic inexplicably: "Could it be ...... Does he actually not like me? ”

P: The third more ask for a monthly pass!
