In the winter of 751 A.D., the Tang Dynasty of the New Tang Dynasty handled the affairs of the palace and led 8,000 soldiers to the Turkic Guyuan to meet with the Roland clan.

In addition to Li Bai and Rondo, who were close to the noble generals, there was also Princess Jinzhi. She misses her homeland and wants to see her mother, the most powerful woman in the Great Turks.

Along the way, the Tang Dynasty resumed the style of leading troops in Lingnan in the past, except for the princess sitting in a sedan chair, the rest of the generals were all cavalry attire, and they must be hidden.

He knows very well the truth that soldiers are fast, the fewer people, the more mobile; Of course, he can lead a large army to Guyuan Huimeng, but in this case, it will inevitably be delayed.

Tang Dynasty knew that although this trip was very important, as the lord of a country, he still couldn't delay too much time, otherwise, once An Lushan took Tongguan first, it would be extremely dangerous.

Seven days later, the Tang Dynasty and his entourage arrived at Tumubao in the northwest of Guyuan, which was the traffic channel for the Tang Dynasty to enter the Turks.

At this time, the snow piled up on the official road, and the carriage was extremely difficult, and the Duke of Jinzhi forgave the Tang Dynasty, restored his former nature, rode a horse himself, and a group of cavalry rushed through the wind and snow.

"Rondo, you take a few people to chase after him and arrest that person for me."

Tang Chao suddenly drew his Xuantie sword and pointed at a thatched hut on the side of the road.

The hut was made of stones, and was built with thatch and the like on the roof, which was extremely simple.

"Yes." Rondo responded and rushed over with a few of his own soldiers.

Li Bai was stunned: "Your Majesty, how do you know that there are people inside?" ”

"Not only do I know of people, but I also know that there are two people who are actually watching us in such a bitter cold, and obviously want to check it."

While he was talking, Rondo had already come out, and several pro-soldiers escorted two fur-covered men to the horse.

"Your Majesty, these are these two people."

"Good. Immediately search your body. ”

His own soldiers immediately searched the bodies of the two men. Soon, a letter with fire paint was found and presented to the hands of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Chao tore open the letter and couldn't help but smile: "Prime minister, I guessed correctly. An Lushan also came. ”

"What?" Everyone was taken aback, including Li Bai.

"How is this possible? An Lushan's reckless disciples, knowing the relationship between the emperor and the Turks, why did he dare to go to the alliance? ”

"Look at the minister, he is not going to the alliance, but to deal with us."

Li Bai looked at it, and his face was a little pale: "The emperor is wise, he can actually discover such a secret conspiracy, but what should we do now?" ”

When he said this, Li Bai was really shocked: such a dilapidated thatched hut, full of official roads, how did he find these two spies? Do you know that only this hut has a spy inside?

Tang Chao saw Li Bai's face and knew that he had doubts, so he explained: "Prime minister, I'm afraid you're wondering why I know that there are spies here?" ”

"Yes. I hope the emperor will be relieved. ”

"I'm not sure. However, I faintly felt that my realm seemed to be showing signs of improvement. When danger comes, there is a natural vigilance. Just now, I sensed that there was something bad for us in this hut, so I asked someone to go in and have a look, but I didn't know that there was really anyone in it. ”

After listening to this, Li Bai was overjoyed: "Congratulations to the emperor." Your martial arts seem to have advanced to another level, reaching the point of sitting in the gods, and you can be keenly aware of all potential threats, and you have taken another step forward from the prophetic awareness of the path of sincerity, which is really gratifying. ”

"Huh. I also know some martial arts, why do you praise it, but there is a letter here, I want to bother the minister to see it personally. It turned out that at this time, there was still a letter in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, all of which were written in strange characters, and at this time, all the letters on the two messengers had been searched.

The Tang Dynasty knew that Li Bai had broad knowledge and had everything in his chest.

Li Bai really recognized it, and after reading it, he reported loudly: "Your Majesty, it's really a godsend." The meaning of this letter is a letter to borrow soldiers from the black-clothed food. An Lushan, we must not underestimate this person, he knows. Under the current situation, he couldn't leave Luoyang, so he sent his general Hua Mingqing to lead 10,000 cavalry to snipe at us. After the deed was completed, he went to the black-clothed food, made an alliance with him, and borrowed troops to fight for the Central Plains. ”

Tang Dynasty was naturally overjoyed: "I can't imagine that An Lushan actually knows about my trip to the Turks, it seems that we have to take a detour." Otherwise, Hua Mingqing's cavalry would be on top of the civil fort and besiege us with more than ten times the force, which would be very dangerous. ”

"That's what the emperor said. Without further ado, we must hurry now, and we should not delay in this matter. ”

Shake one’s head. Tang Chao smiled very calmly: "Although Hua Mingqing is powerful, but this person's legs are useless, and his martial arts can only be regarded as first-class, and he is not a threat to us." Moreover, he has not received the secret letter at this time, and he will not send a large army. Although he waits for work, the elite soldiers under me are all brave men who have followed many years of battle. Therefore, the task at this time is to defeat one of them. Otherwise, with this strong cavalry, An Lushan could disrupt the situation in the Western Regions, and once he defeated the countries of Tubo and Khitan, the Turkic forces would be in great danger, not to mention, and the possibility of success of the meeting was extremely low. What do you think? ”

"Obey the emperor's orders!"

Li Bai suddenly realized that the emperor was such a shrewd mind. If you can't even clear the way in the way, you will inevitably be despised by prime ministers like Roland and Nuland Kinsha, how can peace be achieved?

Moreover, seeing these 8,000 soldiers looking at the Tang Dynasty like gods, a shock rose in his heart.

Indeed, that's what the shock feels like. This godlike fear and obedience really amazed him, and how many victories and how deep trust it took to build such god-like trust.

"So, our task now is to immediately go into battle and destroy them! Although Hua Mingqing is from An Lushan, he is very different from other generals. He never kills innocents indiscriminately. Therefore, although his martial arts and wisdom are relatively high, he has never been reused by An Lushan. This is known from the place where he was sent to guard. Because other generals have already followed An Lushan into the Central Plains. So we must not only win this battle, but also win cleanly, and it is best to force Hua Mingqing to surrender to me, do you understand? ”

"Understood."

"Good. Now led by Rondo, they will arrive at Fort Timber at night. Once you arrive, don't ask questions and attack the north gate immediately. His army and our number are equal but the elite is not as good as our army, and when they are caught off guard, they must be unable to resist, and they should stand out from the south gate. ”

"Yes." After Rondo gave the salute, he led six thousand elites to roar away, and the enthusiasm was incomparable.

It is no wonder that in the nearly half year since they occupied Chang'an, they have not had a battle to fight, and they have long been unable to hold on.

The Tang Dynasty led 2,000 cavalry to the south gate of Tumubao in person, including the Turkic Prime Minister Nulan Jinxia and Princess Jinzhi.

"Big brother, these people want to kill us, why don't you kill them all? Oh yes, what do you mean by Hua Mingqing's surrender, he is a person from An Lushan, just kill it? ”

Li Bai and Tang Chao looked at each other and smiled, thinking that this princess was really interesting.

"Tell me, minister?" She looked very sincerely pleading.

Li Bai smiled: "Your Majesty." Princess Golden Bough is really innocent. Tell you, it's a matter for us men, you don't need to know. ”

Princess Jin Zhi looked at Tang Chao: "Big brother, you can always tell me?" ”

Tang Chao replied with a smile: "Soldiers, murder weapons, have to be used as a last resort." If you want to control the world, you can't do it by killing more people, sometimes, it's better to kill less people. ”

"I don't understand your scheming, I just want you. As long as you only need me by your side in the future, you promise me, promise me, okay? ”

Her face was full of tide, in just a few days, she enjoyed the special favor every night, and the taste was so wonderful, so she was dissatisfied with Yang Yuhuan in the palace.

Tang Chao was really embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that this outspoken princess would say these things at such a juncture, and hurriedly pointed forward: "Everyone pay attention to the enemy, Hua Mingqing has come out." ”

Everyone only heard the wind howling, and originally thought that the Tang Dynasty was diverting the attention of Princess Jinzhi, but after a while, there was already a faint sound of horses' hooves in the wind.

The emperor has such a powerful ear, even Li Bai sincerely admires it, and he laughs in his heart: Princess Jinzhi is too, if you know that the woman in the palace who served the Tang Dynasty with you is the world-famous Yang Yuhuan, you will definitely not say such a ridiculous thing.

In a short time, a group of cavalry appeared on the snowy road, and as expected by the Tang Dynasty, the person who took the lead was Hua Mingqing.

Although it was a defeated soldier, the queue was neat, the armor was distinct, and it did not look like it had suffered heavy casualties.

"Your Excellency, you stay and take care of them, and I will meet him."

After speaking, the palm of his hand gently slapped on the hot electric horse, like the wind coming out.

Although Li Bai has a rare light skill in the world, the Tang Dynasty is the emperor after all, and he does not dare to disobey his will.

Bang! An earth-shattering explosion came.

The power of the explosion was so great that the soldiers behind Hua Mingqing all stopped, and at this time, Rondo wielded the golden hammer and led the cavalry in pursuit.

In less than a quarter of an hour of fighting, Hua Mingqing's troops could no longer support it. Those who grabbed the war horse escaped with Hua Mingqing, and most of the people who did not grab the war horse surrendered. Rondo delayed for a moment, then chased after him.

Although the fort is claimed to be a fortress, it is actually located in a vast plain, where it is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and it is very easy to attack. Although the north gate was the most heavily defended place, before the army marched, there were scouts who had already transmitted the information of the Tumu Fort to the ears of the Tang Dynasty. And the place where Hua Mingqing's department keeps war horses is at the south gate. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty can almost conclude that after attacking the north gate, Hua Mingqing will flee from the south gate. And now it is.

What happened? What is this sound?

But in the billowing smoke of gunpowder, the figure of the Tang Dynasty appeared, dressed in brocade clothes.

Not only was there not a trace of injury on his body, but even the horse under him was not injured at all, but there was a pit half a foot deep on the ground behind him.

Hua Mingqing was really stunned, the assault rifle in his hand fell to the ground involuntarily, and he looked at the man in front of him in surprise.
