Old Li Jing snorted coldly: "Jieli, Dingxiang is my city territory in the Central Plains, and it has been occupied by you for many years, and it should be returned." Your son Ben Shuai will be kind to him, as long as I see Xiao Rui return safely, I will return your son and let you return to the grassland safely. Otherwise......"

"How else? Li Jing, don't blow the atmosphere, Xiao Rui slaughtered hundreds of my royal court relatives, it is impossible for Ben Khan to let him go! Jieli said angrily.

Li Jing said disdainfully: "That's okay, I think you don't lack this son." Tomorrow I will kill Ashina Dumin to sacrifice the flag, and this marshal will lead the troops out of the city to fight you to the death, the strength is equal, if you return to the grassland safely, this marshal will not be called Li Jing! This Dingxiang City is the place where your father and son are buried. ”

Jieli said angrily: "Okay, well, there is a kind of fight to the death today, if it is Li Er's house, it will be enough, with you as an old man?" Also worthy of threatening Ben Khan? ”

The generals around him hurriedly grabbed Jieli and persuaded him: "Don't be a big Khan, don't be impulsive, now we are besieging the city and trapping the enemy is an advantage, just wait for the news from the grassland, the other half of our soldiers and horses will return, and the breakthrough of Dingxiang is just around the corner, we must not fight with the Tang people on an equal footing, their armor is excellent, we have no advantage." ”

"Yes, Great Khan, wait a minute, if the military division captures Xiao Rui, then see if he Li Jing is not obedient?"

A group of people dragged Jieli back, and then sent someone to inform Li Jing that there would be a truce for the time being, just waiting for the two sides to find Xiao Rui.

After getting out of the city and going back, Li Ji asked in a low voice: "Pharmacist, if Jieli agrees, do you really plan to go out of the city tomorrow for a decisive battle?" ”

Li Jing laughed and said, "How did you deceive you too?" There is still enough food and grass in the city for half a month, and the casualties in defending the city are very small, so I am not stupid enough to give up my advantage and go out of the city to die. It's just to scare Jieli, now both sides are waiting for Xiao Rui's news, is it war or peace? It all depends on whether this kid is dead or alive, and whose hands he falls into. ”

Into whose hands? The battle outside the Yumen Pass has come to an end, and those who can capture Xiao Rui in this world are afraid that they have not yet been born.

After a roar of rage, Xiao Rui single-handedly killed all the way to Zhao Deyan, and the blood-stained gentleman's sword rested on Zhao Deyan's neck, forcing him to let go of the remaining remnants of Yumen Pass.

Zhao Deyan's face was pale, and his whole body was trembling, ten thousand enemies, this is the real general of ten thousand enemies, the legendary ten thousand armies in the group to take the head of the enemy general, is it true? I'm afraid that only the overlord Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba, the king of Zhao in Xifu, have this ability, and now there is another Xiao Rui, he hides so deeply!

Seeing that nothing could be done, Zhao Deyan waved his hand weakly and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

Xiao Rui withdrew the gentleman's sword and said coldly: "Zhao Deyan, go back and tell Jieli, if you know each other, you can sweat a lot in the grassland, if you dare to invade the Tang Dynasty without long eyes, I Xiao Rui will kill him." ”

A Turkic general next to him was unconvinced: "The 200,000 string-controlling warriors around my Great Khan will be afraid of you alone?" ”

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and pulled out the scribe's sword on Zhao Deyan's waist, and with a casual throw, he pierced the opponent's chest and fell to the ground and died on the spot. The guards around trembled, and no one dared to resist anymore.

"Lao Tzu's 3,000 cavalry can slaughter your royal court, not because of the combat strength of 3,000 people, but because I want to save these 3,000 cavalry. If it's just me, what about the 200,000 army? Kill a thousand a day, and one day you will be able to kill them all! If you don't believe it, you can try it. ”

Who can stand this? The Turks, no matter how frightened they were, were indignant at this time.

Zhao Deyan hurriedly spoke: "Xiao Yuma's martial arts are the best in the world, don't try it, I will tell the Great Khan truthfully." If nothing else, take your leave. ”

"Get out!"

Seeing Zhao Deyan leave north with more than 10,000 remnants, Xiao Rui drove his horse to the side of the defenders of Yumen Pass.

In just two quarters of an hour, there are 5,000 veterans, and at this time there are less than 2,000. And all of them were injured, Xiao Rui couldn't help but feel sad. turned over and dismounted, with a look of shame: "Everyone, Xiao Rui's command is ...... improper"

Before he finished speaking, more than 1,000 veterans all knelt down on one knee, performed a military salute, and shouted in a neat voice: "Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!" ”

Well??? What's going on? Xiao Rui was stunned.

The guard Huo Anshun wrapped the torn armor on his body, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Horse, how many years, how many years have we been on the border, the first time, the first time in my life!" ”

What first?

"For the first time, the steppe barbarians were repelled head-on. In the past, we were all waiting for reinforcements at the head of the city, but today we saw them retreating, not in vain, not in vain......"

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Don't worry, whether it is fighting the border or killing the enemy, you have made great contributions to the imperial court." This time, Xiao Rui personally went to the court. ”

Well??

Everyone was silent, and Huo Anshun hurriedly explained: "Master Ma misunderstood, we don't care about the credit." The brothers came out, but they didn't think they would survive. Perennial guarding the border and defending the city, the years are old, that blood is not cold, who doesn't want to turn around and kill the grassland once? This time, the horse master led us to fulfill our wishes, we were moved, this time, it was worth it! ”

All the veterans knelt down in front of Xiao Rui again: "Datang Wannian!" ”

As if assimilated by their emotions, Xiao Rui also raised the gentleman's sword in his hand and shouted: "Ten thousand years of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

After the mountain call, Huo Anshun commanded his subordinates to collect the corpse of Pao Ze and bring it back to the customs for registration and burial. In addition, the corpses of the Turks were also collected and piled together and burned to prevent the outbreak of plague.

Returning to Yumen Pass, converging Su Lie and others, Xiao Rui instructed that this time the five thousand veterans of Yumen Pass came to the aid desperately, and it was a life-saving grace for us, so the veterans who sacrificed this time, in addition to the pension of the imperial court, we should also have a thank you gift. The crowd had no opinion, and ordered that they should pay a large amount of money for the bereavement and take care of the families of the sacrificed veterans.

Xiao Rui was the most angry, and directly wrote down the paperwork, and in the future, the Xiao family caravan walked in the Western Regions, leaving thirty percent of the income to the border defenders of Yumen Pass.

"Master Horse, I can't help it...... I'm waiting for the Tang Dynasty to fight for the Tang Dynasty, not a private act, you ......"

"General Huo, General Huo......"

Huo Anshun hurriedly dissuaded, but as he spoke, the whole person fell down, frightening everyone to rush to the rescue.

"General Huo, you are so seriously injured, why didn't you say it earlier? Hard to hold what? The intestines are all flowing out! Su Lie shouted excitedly.

Huo Anshun's face turned pale, and he smiled indifferently: "When I saw the horses scare off the Turkic cavalry, I couldn't hold on. But I want to go back to the customs to have a look...... Don't bother, there is a battle today, the last general Huo Anshun, it's worth it! ”

"You! Say it earlier, maybe it can save your life, who doesn't know that Xiao Yuma is the first miracle doctor in Chang'an? You've dragged yourself to death. Su Lie said angrily.

took out the golden needle and prick five golden needles to cross the catastrophe, Xiao Rui said sadly: "Say, what else do you want?" You still have a stick of incense to spare. ”

Huo Anshun waved his hand to summon a twenty-year-old young descendant, and said in a difficult tone: "This, it's my adopted son Huo An, let him continue to guard the Jade Gate......"

"Father......" the young general Huo An cried in a hoarse voice.

Xiao Rui held Huo Anshun's hand tightly, "Don't worry, with me Xiao Rui here, Huo An will protect me in the future." ”

"An'er, remember, this life is loyal to the Tang Dynasty......"

"Yes, boy, remember!"

After speaking, General Huo let go, and Yumen Pass cried!

Three days later, Xiao Rui finished the funeral of the defenders of Yumen Pass, and under the witness of the leaders of the Western Turkic tribes, he personally erected a huge stone tablet outside Yumen Pass, with a line of words written on it: "Those who offend me in the Tang Dynasty will be punished even if they are far away!" - Xiao Rui"

As Xiao Rui's reputation grew, Yumen Pass also because of the existence of this stone tablet, there will be no war in the next three hundred years.
