Dong Tu was very proud, patted him on the shoulder to show relief, turned to leave, and arranged for the surrender of the city. He estimated that Wu Yingying's subordinates were all Han Chinese, and to rule the 300,000 Ganzhou Uighurs, Jingqiong Khan could not be used, and most of the departments with Han blood debts on their hands could not be used. Thinking of this, the Uighur prime minister, who could not pick up his shoulder and could not lift his hand, and who could not learn to bow and horse since he was a child, was proud and proud, as if an eagle was about to break out of his chest, fly into the vast night sky, whistling and skimming across the vast land west of the river, circling endlessly, and reaching up to the sky.

When the final preparations for the surrender of the Lanzhou army were quietly beginning to be in full swing in the city of Suzhou, the Dunhuang City, the seat of the Guiyi Army in Shazhou, was in chaos, and the mansion of the town general Lin Hong was surrounded by Cao Yanlu, the envoy of the Guiyi Army, with iron hooves and torches, the sword light was dazzling, the bow and arrow broke through the air, and the noise of people and horses broke the silence of the night.

"Lin Hong, you are secretly rebelling against the Zhang clan in the imperial court, and the lord of the festival is already fully aware, so don't hurry up and arrest him, don't wait for the brothers of the Guiyi Army to meet each other!" Cao Yuanshou is a general of the Cao family, although he has no position in the Guiyi army, he commands the Cao family soldiers. Recently, Cao Yanlu got a secret report, Ziting Town's general Wu Qingzong, Yonggui Town's general Zheng Shangda, Hangquan Town's general Anshang, and Shouchang Town's general Lin Hongfuzhong's secret meeting, conspiracy and Yumen Pass Zhang's collusion rebellion, these four towns accounted for half of the Guiyi Army's soldiers and horses, and the Cao family did not dare to persecute them excessively, for fear that they would lead troops to the foreign domain, but now Wu Yingying's army is current, but it can no longer tolerate these four generals to conspire. Cao Yanlu made up his mind and ordered Cao Yuanshou to lead the troops to come and surround Lin Hong's mansion, as for whether the soldiers in the outer town would immediately make trouble or disperse in a hurry after capturing the four generals, it was not something that could be taken care of at this moment

No matter how Cao Yuanshou shouted, this Lin Hong's mansion was as quiet as a haunted mansion, like a fierce beast quietly lurking in the night, but it was indescribably strange and dangerous. Behind the one-and-a-half-height wall, I don't know how many strong crossbow swords and shields are ambushed, just waiting for the outside to attack, I will see you appear and die. The Guiyi Army of Shazhou is located between the Hu, even when it is the strongest, the Guiyi Army Jiedu envoy also wrote to the imperial court that "the day is strong, and there is a war every month", there is a ruthless wind up and down, since the four towns have been and the Jiedu has torn the skin, it is a civil strife that you die and I die.

Cao Yuanshou's shouting outside the mansion was just a passing scene, seeing that he didn't answer inside, his face sank, and he waved his hand and ordered: "The bow and crossbow are back, the sword and shield are forward, and the door is slammed!" Although these four towns have their own soldiers and horses, the Cao family is the dominant one in Dunhuang City, and the total number of guards and soldiers in the four towns is only two hundred.

With his military order, twelve wrestlers used thick leather ropes to lift out a huge piece of wood, and with a bang, they slammed the door of Lin Hong's mansion and shook it slightly, at this moment, the figure of a crossbowman suddenly poked out of the low wall, and put a row of cold arrows outside, caught off guard, and the Cao family soldiers who were clustered outside the gate of the mansion were suddenly shot dozens of people, and the screams pierced the night sky, officially announcing the beginning of this fratricide within the Guiyi Army.

"Lin Hong rebelled, opened the mansion, gold, silver and jewelry, children and jade silks, and all the soldiers took it for themselves!" Cao Yuanshou puffed up his anger and gave a loud order, Cao won the position of the Guiyi Army with the help of the Uighurs, and had already lost the hearts of the people in the army, so those who encouraged morale were nothing more than wealthy women.

In Lin Hong's mansion, hundreds of soldiers stood solemnly, a servant was in a different place, blood was flowing all over the ground, Shouchang Town, who was wearing a helmet and armor, wiped Lin Hong's bloody horizontal knife on the military robe at will, and said apologetically to the other three generals: "The brother's house is not clean, and the news has leaked, and the three brothers have been affected at that time." "Our generation of warriors died in battle, and it is a blessing for the horse leather shroud, why should I be a child and make those rats outside laugh!"

"It's not a day since the Cao clan regards us as a thorn in their side, and it's only a matter of time before they poison us," Wu Qingzong, the general of Ziting Town, said in a calm voice, "Those who regret it can't witness the Han family's recovery of Hexi." "Yes, Zhang Zhongyao is lucky, he has the assistance of a Ming master, we are one step behind, but we can only go to the underground of Huangquan to see Wang Shi to the west. Yonggui Town patted Zheng Shangda on the waist with the treasure knife.

Outside, the Cao family will reorganize the soldiers and horses to attack the mansion again, there are already archers who shoot the arrow feathers densely in, and it is difficult to stand in the courtyard of Lin Hong's house, not to mention the crossbowmen leaning out to shoot the sergeant who hit the door, not long after, the gate of the house that is not strong collapsed, and the sergeants outside rushed in, the lights in the courtyard were bright, and the four generals led hundreds of sergeants to wear helmets and armor and wait solemnly, and the two men and horses shouted loudly to kill a mess.

Dunhuang Guancheng, the town general Luo Youtong looked at the sky-high fire pillar in the city, shouted and killed, hesitated in his heart, and finally stomped his feet fiercely, scolded his mother, and said to the entourage sergeant: "Invite Lord Suo Yuanxun, I have something to inquire." ”

After a while, Suo Yuanxun hurriedly came in his clothes, and when he saw Luo Youtong, he smiled and said: "Lord Luo is recruiting Yuanxun at night, I don't know what's going on?" Although he and Luo Youtong stumbled, in the end, they were colleagues who had worked together for many days, Luo Youtong was rude and unliterate, but he was still quite regular in major matters, and the most important thing was that Luo Youtong was a general promoted by Cao Yangong from the Guiyi Army, which was also the reason why Cao asked him to guard the city.

At that time, the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou hesitated and wanted to summon the governors of all ministries to discuss the matter of returning to the army. The hearts of the people in the city were chaotic, and the generals had two hearts, and they endured to hand over their lives to others.

Luo Youtong looked a little weird, patted the treasure knife on his waist and said: "I am restless today, please come over to Lord Suo, I have a treasure knife to appreciate." "The Guiyi army is close to the Western Regions, the martial style is fierce, and there are often Persian swords coming through the Western Regions, which are strange goods, and it is common for military generals to observe each other's swords. It's just that Luo Youtong's face is too strange, and the timing is too sensitive, is this rude man who was rescued by the head of the Cao family since he was a child also going back to the lord to seek glory?

Suo Yuanxun forced himself to stabilize his mind, squeezed out a smile and said, "The general is so interested. But the mouth is extremely dry, if Luo Youtong has the intention to make trouble, his head is undoubtedly a vote.

Luo You pulled out the blade on his waist with a swipe, but where was the newly acquired treasure knife, that is, the one he usually wore on his side, shining with a strange knife light in the cold moonlight, like a stream of autumn water flowing wordlessly. Suo Yuanxun praised dryly: "Good knife, it is common to see the general wearing it by his side, but I don't know that it is such a precious knife." ”

Luo Youtong smiled faintly and said: "This knife is a certain and worthy general, and on that day, the Xianren Festival envoy personally gave it to Youtong." Youtong suffered a great change when he was young, his parents died, he almost died on the street, he was rescued by the Xianren Jiedu envoy, joined the army, grew into a good man, and the official town general, this knife is often worn by his side, just to remember the kindness of the first Jiedu envoy. Suo Yuanxun heard him suddenly mention the kindness of the Cao clan to him, thinking that Luo Youtong saw the defeat of the four generals in the outer towns, and wanted to go further and show loyalty to the Cao clan, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, the Jiedu envoy often mentions that the general is a loyal person. "As long as he gets through the crisis tonight, no matter what Cao Yanlu often tells him, Luo Youtong is unruly, but he has always been a member of the Cao family, and he has won the hearts of the military, and sooner or later he will ask the Yuan Xun to replace him.

Luo Youtong didn't seem to hear his praise, and said to himself: "This loyalty festival is often taught by my father when he was alive, my father read poetry and books, and he was a teacher in a village school. My Luo family is full of five, and under the swords and arrows of the Tubo and Uighurs, I have to be playful and not return, and I am lucky to survive. Ever since I joined the Guiyi Army, I have always thought that after learning this bow horse, I must have a chance to take revenge. ”
