The Wild Boar Ridge at the junction of Qingyang Mansion and Jinzhou Mansion and Bonan Mansion in Northwest County is a very desolate and remote valley where no one knows that this is the nest of the famous purple turban thieves in Northwest China. "Big brother, what should we do now?", a young man with a sinister face asked the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the cottage Zhongyi Hall with some worry, "What are you panicking about? Although the Luobei people were driven away by them, it was because they took advantage of the landlord. But this kid named Li Wufeng really can't be underestimated, for so many years, no one has been able to make the Luobei people so embarrassed, this period of time ordered the brothers not to go out, all of them stayed in the cottage honestly, and ordered the flowers and faces of the few of them to be careful, the news of other people's families was not set, and their lives were ruined. In addition, let the brothers who went out to buy supplies be more detailed, I have a feeling that this Li Wufeng is not a good master, and he really can't do it, so we will take thirty-six plans and go to the top. "I cheered up the brothers, and I also felt that this new official should not be taken lightly.

"Big brother, you're too cowardly, we haven't seen anyone yet, so we're ready to slip away, which will be laughed at by other people and brothers. The young man was obviously a little unconvinced, "Anyway, we are also the most famous purple scarf thieves in the northwest region, and there are nearly 3,000 brothers. ”――

"You know a fart, be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, I didn't say to leave now, let's stay in the cottage to rest during this time, and wait for the gang of people in Black Tiger Mountain and those groups of horse thieves to fight in the front, let's just watch the fire, if the surname Li is a false name, let's go out of the mountain again, if the situation is not right, let's open the road as soon as possible, I always feel that this is not a good sign." "The round-faced middle-aged man is very cautious, after all, the person who can beat the rampant Luope people to the desert and flee is definitely not a weak person-

Because this grassland with a radius of 400 miles has many large and small lakes such as Salar Lake, Baolan Lake, and Mill Lake, the water and grass are extremely fertile, and the Chidi people have gradually developed and grown from here, and the Salar City was built on the shore of the Salar Lake, and it is also the political, economic, cultural and commercial center of the Chidi people.

It is said to be a city, but in fact the city of Salar cannot be called a city worthy of the name, it has neither wide and thick walls, nor a few decent buildings, the only building that can be called a little grandeur is a large bluestone temple, which is not only the place where the Chidi people worship their gods and ancestors, but also the place where their powerful nobles deliberate, called the temple. There are some stone houses around the temple, and since stone is also a rarity in the savannah, there are not many people who can build houses out of stone, and they are all rich and noble. Ordinary herders prefer traditional tents, and there are plenty of tents around these stone houses.

In the temple, a group of nobles of the Chidi tribe dressed in gorgeous costumes were sitting on both sides, and in the middle sat a big fat man with a burly figure, who could be distinguished from his clothes as their great king Muruya. "I heard that the Ropes fought a great defeat in the east some time ago, Javani, is that the case?" the fat Muruya did not look clumsy, and a pair of piercing eyes were scanning the many nobles in the hall, and all of them bowed their heads in respect under his bayonet-like gaze.

"Back to the king, I just received verified news today, and I am preparing to report to the king. In early October, the Luope people first defeated the main force of the Tang people in the east and grabbed a large amount of grain and grass supplies, but in mid-October, the exact time was October 17, when they attacked Qingyang City, the capital of the northwest county of the Tang River Empire, they suffered a heavy defeat, and it is said that less than half of them returned home. His henchman, Javani, the minister in charge of intelligence, hurriedly replied-

"Isn't Tu Da known as being undefeated in the east, I have heard that they have returned triumphantly for so many years, how can there be such a big leak this time?" Muruya asked with interest.

"It is said that this time Tu Da himself was not there when he attacked Qingyang in the back, but had already returned to the territory, leaving them with the so-called three warriors of Zhengdong who were in command, and they were defeated. The Minister in charge of military affairs, Rasha, added disdainfully-

"Laxia, don't underestimate those three young people, I heard that in the past few years, they have been in the east and south, and they have achieved brilliant results, and they are not in vain. Murrua did not agree with his military minister. "It's a big and strong one, and I've encountered a hard bone to bite. Who is the commander of the other side?"-

"King Hui is a little-known young man named Li Wufeng, and I heard that he is not yet twenty years old. Javani looked at the information in his hand carefully before replying-

"Oh, so young, so terrifying, is there any information about his situation?" Muluwa was obviously interested in being able to defeat Li Wufeng, the biggest opponent of his nation.

"Back to the king, there is no information about him yet, but I heard that the local people have asked him to stay in the local area to help them resist the invasion of the Luope. Javani also found that his king seemed to be interested in the young man.

"You immediately arrange for someone to gather information about this person, and maybe this person can sit down with us and discuss how to deal with the Ropes together. A meaningful smile appeared on Muluwa's fat face.

On the grassland in the middle of the Yisai River in the East Tengger Prairie, this is the birthplace of the Luope people. The original birthplace of nomads is often a place with abundant water and grass, and only these places can support more people and a nation can develop and grow. The city of Barona of the Lopeites was built here, and it was the center of the Lope, like the city of Sarah of the Chidiites. Compared to the city of Sala, the city of Barona is larger and has more buildings, but it does seem much more modest than the city of the farming people. The part in the center of the city is a square, there is a relatively neat building on the south side of the square, one of the largest is the Great Chief's Palace of the Luope people, the current generation of the Luope people's great chief Wadya lives and works here, surrounded by the private residences of the chiefs and nobles of various departments, most of the people, including some nobles, still prefer the traditional tents of their own people.

In an inconspicuous stone house next to the Great Chief's Palace, Tu Da, the general of Zhengdong, was carefully listening to the report of Kurdo, Geya, and Haxian who were kneeling on the carpet, "General, this defeat was caused by the incompetence of Kurdo alone, and he failed to live up to the expectations of the general, please punish the general." After giving a detailed report on the events of the battle, Kurdo knelt down in front of Tu Da with guilt, and Geya and Haxian also quickly knelt down to plead guilty, saying that it was not Kurdo's responsibility alone, and that he had not fulfilled his responsibility as a deputy marshal, and was willing to accept any punishment.

Tu replied and waved his hand to signal the three of them to get up, "The three of you don't have to blame yourself too much, if you want to be responsible, it should be me, the general of the Eastern Expedition, who is mainly responsible, because I underestimated the enemy too much and miscalculated the enemy's strength, so that it has nothing to do with you to cause such consequences." Seeing what the three of them wanted to say, Tu Da waved his hand again, "Needless to say, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible, to be honest, I don't really care about the victory or defeat of this war, but the performance of Li Wufeng you said is really worthy of our great attention, a nameless person has such a strong courage and such a deep strategy, even I feel a little tricky." If this person is really stationed in our southeastern frontier for a long time, we will be in real trouble. It seems that we have to send competent people to find out who Li Wufeng really is. Seeing that the general, who had always been free-spirited, was a little moved when he talked about Li Wufeng, and the three of Kurdo realized the weight of Li Wufeng's performance.

"I'm going to go to the chief in a while, you don't have to explain too much, especially the sarcasm and ridicule of other people, you have to deal with it calmly, and I'll deal with everything. Tu replied to the three of them—

In the council hall of the Great Chief's Palace, the somewhat tired Wadya sat on a high throne, on the left was the Minister of Administration Misse, the general of the expedition to the west was Ulle, on the right was the general of the expedition to the east Tu Da, the general of the expedition to the south was Bessan, and the rest were the nobles of the various ministries, and the three of Kurdo were not qualified to stand in the front, and they all stood behind Tu Da -

"Tu A, I heard that you fought a big defeat, why can't you even clean up those cowardly Tanghe people, how can you be this general of the expedition to the east?"

"Well, Tu A, this news has now spread throughout the grassland, what is going on, you come and hear it. "Wadya is also very concerned about this matter, after all, such a big thing, it is impossible not to ask and understand.

Hearing that the Great Chief's voice was quite gentle, Tu Da relieved half of his heart, he was not worried about himself, he was worried that if the Great Chief was provoked by some people, he would punish the three Kurdo in a fit of anger. "Back to the Great Chief, let your subordinates make it clear. ”――

After listening to Tu Da's report, Ulle was the first to shout, "Tu Da, you don't need to explain, it is clear that it is the incompetence of a few of your subordinates that will cause such consequences, the loss is so huge, you yourself should also be responsible for the leadership, the Great Chief, this time Tu Da and his subordinates should be severely punished." ”――

"I can't say that, after all, General Tu Da has also completed the task of collecting grain and grass, and he has also defeated the main army of the Tanghe people, not to mention that there are nearly 40,000 prisoners, which is a lot of wealth. A calm voice sounded, and it was Besan, the general of the southern expedition, who spoke, "I have also heard that the combined forces of the Motts and the Tubu have also suffered heavy losses in their attacks on the Sithroes, and they have not yet caught much food and grass. It is already very good for General Tu Da to achieve such a result. ”――

At the mention of the wealth that the captives could exchange for, the nobles of His Highness were like hungry wolves smelling the smell of barbecue, and they became excited, and immediately put the defeat behind them, and many nobles also suggested that the treatment of General Tuda and his subordinates should be worth the merits, after all, those who can bring great wealth to themselves should still be supported.

Seeing that all the nobles were defending Tu Da, Ule paused heavily in anger, and stopped talking, and when Wadya saw that everyone was unified, he also criticized Tu Da and Kurdo and others in a stern tone, and announced that no other punishments would be imposed for the sake of achieving greater results, and ordered Misse to immediately send someone to the Tang River Empire to negotiate the redemption of prisoners of war.

"There is also a people on the sea east of the Tang River Empire, called the Wa people, the Wa people are divided into ten parts, all of them are scattered on dozens of islands mainly on Ban Yi Island, about five hundred nautical miles away from the mainland, the Wa people are good at navigation, the surname is impatient, brave and ruthless, the big tribes have Liyuan Division, Shengbi Division, Zhuye Division, Tianqiu Division, etc. -Excerpt from "Overseas Strange Tales"--

In a small wooden hut with extremely exquisite workmanship, a middle-aged man was listening to the report of the first black-clothed masked man with a solemn expression, this middle-aged man was the patriarch of the Liyuan tribe, the largest part of the Japanese people on Banyi Island, "The Dotun people have an attempt to unite with the Tanghe people, and now they are all sending people to contact each other. The Tanghes suffered a big defeat in the west, but later a fellow named Li Wufeng led the Tanghemen to hold the city and repel the Luope attack. The detailed information is here, please take a look at it. ”――

After carefully reading all the information, the middle-aged man showed a satisfied smile, "Tachikawa, good job." Now, you immediately organize people to find a way to sabotage the alliance of the Dodon and the Don people, and no matter what means you take, you must not let their plot succeed. In addition, send someone to collect information about this Li Wufeng and report it to me in time. ”――

"Yes!
