Tubo is preparing for war, and Jishi Mountain is also actively training, after all, they are not just to defend here, but to advance into Tubo.

Su Dingfang is also a little happy these days, he is accompanied by beautiful women every day, and some military affairs are abandoned.

"Why did the general suddenly become like this?"

Chen Qi glanced at Su Dingfang's big tent, and also sighed and said to Chen Hu.

"How do I know, maybe it's the same as the general said, the general is also a man, and he also has needs.

Let's do what we have to do, anyway, whether there is a general or not is the same now. ”

Chen Hu also scratched his head, who knows what Su Dingfang wants to do.

After all, he is just a lieutenant, can he still slaughter all those women?

"Hey, that's all there is to it!"

Chen Qi shook his head and went directly to the school to train those soldiers.

The Tibetan side has not yet started a war, but the Western Regions side has been in chaos first.

The Turkic remnant Duman was funded by the Tibetans and began to rapidly expand his power, and then contacted Shule, Zhu Jubo, and the Three Kingdoms of Pantuo to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

In one fell swoop, Khotan will be breached, and at the same time troops will be sent to attack other small countries.

Hearing the news of the rebellion in the Western Regions, Li Zhi was also shocked, but fortunately, he had the foresight to send Xue Rengui to the Western Regions in advance.

Otherwise, if there is another rebellion in the Western Regions, he will really be in a hurry.

Xue Rengui is worthy of being a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, and when he received this news, he also acted as soon as possible.

First, 10,000 elite infantry were selected, and then 3,000 elite cavalry galloped to raid.

He traveled 300 miles in one day and one night, and arrived ten miles west of Khotan before dawn.

Duman was instantly frightened when he saw the soldiers and horses outside the city, and could only lead the army to hastily respond to the battle outside the city gate, but Xue Li took the lead and directly broke it.

Duman was invincible, so he could only lead his troops to flee, Xue Rengui ignored it, waved his army to follow the attack, and killed directly under the city.

"General, they are cowering in the city, and if we soldiers and horses want to take this city alone, we may suffer a lot of casualties."

Deputy General Cui He glanced at Xue Rengui, to be honest, he looked down on the other party.

I didn't expect the other party to be so brave, not only led the army to rush three hundred miles, but also took the lead when the battle was about to go.

Now he's a little convinced.

"If you want to take the city, General Ben doesn't have to waste a single soldier!"

Xue Rengui smiled, looking at the city in front of him, his eyes full of disdain.

"General? What's your plan? ”

Cui He glanced at Xue Rengui, not knowing what this airborne appeasement envoy wanted.

"Do you say this Duman is afraid of death?"

Xue Rengui looked at the city in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"You must be afraid of death, how can anyone not be afraid of death?"

Cui He was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xue Rengui meant by this.

"That's fine, immediately send troops to surround the city, and then cut down wood to make siege equipment, and open a line under the city to cause a large army to press the situation, when the time comes, how do you think Naduman will feel?"

After Xue Rengui finished speaking, Cui He was also stunned.

Isn't it a bluff to do so now? Will this Duman really be scared?

After all, he is also a battle-hardened old man, will he eat your set?

"I know you're suspicious, thinking that Duman won't be intimidated, but won't we find out if we try?"

Xue Rengui knew that Cui He didn't believe it, but he was convinced.

As long as Duman is afraid of death, he will inevitably surrender at that time.

"Whoa!"

Soon Xue Rengui's order was passed to the army, and these soldiers also acted according to the order, building siege equipment and making a posture of strong attack.

Seeing this, Du Man was just as Xue Rengui thought, and the whole person was scared to death.

He knew that if the other party insisted on attacking the city, he would die in battle.

But until now, he didn't figure out why the Tang army came so quickly, there was Su Dingfang before, and they almost didn't die in the fight.

Why is Su Dingfang gone, and there is such a tiger general.

This Datang is really talented, not comparable to them.

At this time, he also regretted it, he was also blinded by lard, why did he want to help the Tubo people work.

What a fool, a pure fool.

"I am Xue Li, the pacification envoy of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, where is Du Man, come out to speak!"

Xue Rengui was dressed in silver armor, straddled a white horse, and stood under the city wall with a silver spear in his hand.

"I'm Duman, what do you want to do?"

Duman came out of the city, looking at Xue Rengui under the city, he couldn't help but be a little frightened.

After all, the other party's killing posture just now was simply terrifying, compared to Su Dingfang's.

"What do I want to do? Duman, you have no escape.

Now that Kaesong surrenders, I can help you speak well in front of Your Majesty to keep you from dying. ”

Xue Rengui looked up at Duman on the city wall, his eyes full of murderous intent.

If he hadn't been killing people on Goguryeo's side, he didn't expect them to be transferred to the Western Regions.

If he hadn't been able to lose too many soldiers and horses now, he wouldn't have spared the other party.

Besides, a living Duman is much more valuable than a dead Duman, and the emperor will definitely be happy to be able to capture the prisoner and go back.

"Spare my life? You said it lightly, I know that the guilt I have committed will certainly not be forgiven.

You're just a small appeasement, and you can let the Tang Emperor spare my life? ”

Duman sneered, are you trying to deceive a three-year-old child?

Spare my life? You're really talking with a big mouth.

"Really?"

After Xue Rengui heard this, he directly took off the war bow on his war horse, and then shot like lightning, and a feather arrow crossed the space and nailed the feathers on the opponent's helmet to the city wall.

"What do you want to do?"

This scared Du Man to death, shrunk directly within the city wall, and shouted at Xue Rengui.

"What do I want to do? I just want to tell you that if I can protect you, I can kill you.

Surrender now, with my guarantee, you may be able to live.

But if you don't surrender, when the city is breached, not only you, but also your men will be killed. ”

Xue Rengui hung the war bow on the side of the war horse again, and shouted at Duman.

"Me"

Duman was really panicked now, and looking at the soldiers around him, he was also like ashes.

Such a soldier wants to resist the wolf-like Tang Army, which is simply wishful thinking.

"Surrender, all over!"

"That is, if you don't surrender now, everyone will die!"

"We can't resist each other! Surrender! ”

A group of Turkic soldiers also looked at Duman, as the so-called people were afraid of death, and they didn't want to follow each other to Huangquan together.

"Hey, surrender Kaesong!"

Duman also sighed, now that the other party has surrounded the city wall, he can't escape.

At this time, there are two roads in front of him, one of which is to fight to defend the city and die on the battlefield.

The second is to listen to Xue Rengui's words, Kaecheng surrendered, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope for survival.

"Yes!"

Hearing Duman's words, those soldiers were all excited, and they raised the white flag directly at the head of the city.

"General, they have raised the white flag, they are going to surrender."

Cui He glanced at Xue Rengui beside him, and was also a little shocked.

The other party is really a god, saying that it doesn't cost a single soldier, but it doesn't cost a single soldier.

Awesome, it's amazing.

"It's all expected, let's get ready to go into the city!"

Xue Rengui also smiled slightly, and ordered the soldiers to prepare to enter the city.

"Whoa!"

"Ready to enter the city!"

When the city gate opened, Xue Rengui also entered the city for the first time, and the Turkic soldiers and Duman in the city also all knelt on the ground and were captured.

"General, you have made a great contribution to taking down these people, and when the rebellion in the Western Regions is quelled, Your Majesty will definitely reward you heavily."

After taking Duman and the Turkic troops in the city, Cui He also came to Xue Rengui's side.

"The reward may not be earned, after all, Ben appeasement promised Duman to save his life.

This credit was sent by Duman, and it is not bad to exchange this credit for his life. ”

Xue Rengui, as a manly husband, naturally has to do what he says.

After all, he promised the other party to save his life, so he had to do it no matter what.

Your reputation is more important than your credit.

"The general is righteous, but isn't it a bit of a loss to give up such a big credit for the sake of a mere Duman."

Cui He couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard that Xue Rengui wanted to exchange his contribution to pacifying the Western Regions for Du Man's life.

"Whether it is a loss or a gain, this appeasement makes its own decision, and now our key is to seize the time to quell the rebellion in the Western Regions.

The Tang Dynasty is now preparing for a decisive battle with Tubo, and the Western Regions cannot afford to delay for too long. ”

Xue Rengui frowned, the current situation is not a matter of merit, but a matter of the entire Tang Dynasty.

If the Western Regions cannot be pacified as soon as possible, then the Tang Dynasty will inevitably not be able to deal with Tubo with all its might, and if it fails, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Whoa!"

Soon the soldiers and horses in the city also began to divide into several routes, and began to divide and attack those rebellious countries.

Just when Datang was preparing for war on all sides, the second fleet arranged by Li Yanran also set sail.

This time, Li Daosan also made full preparations, and more than 20 sea ships, larger than the original, crossed the vast sea and rushed in the direction of the Japanese Kingdom.

Li Daosan looked at the sea ship behind him, his eyes full of excitement.

With such a scale and such a ship, in addition to the sailors, it can be regarded as a must in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Finally, they docked outside Hakata Port again, and the merchants who saw the fleet arrive at Hakata Port were the first to react.

Including Murakami Riki, those Japanese merchants also came to meet Li Daosan on their own boats.

With so many competitors this time, Murakami Riski couldn't swallow these goods alone, so in the end, he could only bid for a few companies, and then divided the goods brought by Li Daosan equally.

After bidding farewell to these merchants, the spies who had been arranged by Li Daosan in the Wa Kingdom also rushed back.

After compiling the information they had gathered, he also arranged for someone to buy the local products of the Wa Kingdom.

When everything is ready, the sails are hoisted again, leaving Hakata Port to return to the homeland of the Tang Dynasty.

Just after they left, some ships also left the land of the Japanese Kingdom one after another and chased after Li Daosan and them.

"Surveyor, there seems to be a tail behind us!"
