If you talk to a man, you have to stare if you don't brag.

Yao Shan didn't know how much of what General Li said was true and how much was false, so he could only rely on his own judgment and some fragmentary news to discern it.

It is said that Liu Tingyu Xiaoxihe won a great victory in the first war, and after that, dog meat was particularly popular in the Xiaoxihe area. In connection with what I had heard before, there was a hobby of eating dog meat in the Xiyong army, especially when it was cold in autumn!

As for attacking Tibet with a large number of civilians, that is pure nonsense, but it did lead some people from the steppe tribes to the Tanggula Pass, which frightened King Grahe, and the whole of Tibet was shaken. As for the result, this matter was not even recorded by the military headquarters of Dajian, and the only thing known was that Tubo sent a lot of things to apologize and conclude a trade agreement.

As for why the princess of King Grahe was slept with by Liu Tingyu, it was purely General Li's obscenity, not to mention anything else, Tubo was extremely particular about blood, how could it be possible to find a foreign woman to be the princess?

If it weren't for the dog that had seen Song Yu with his own eyes, he wouldn't have felt the horror of the so-called Ten Thousand Dogs of the Light Army. You must know that the dog is bigger than a human and looks fierce and abnormal, even an adult can be swallowed by it in one bite!

General Li said it easily and comfortably, and packed up the 10,000 dogs so simply, but if it were someone else, I am afraid that he would not have the courage to dare to go to war with 5,000 people!

But in the final analysis, the morale of the troops led by Liu Tingyu is also very bad, especially in the early years, rape, adultery, kidnapping, and plundering also happened from time to time. And Liu Tingyu is naturally not a good person, and when he entered Beichen, he once lingered in the harem of King Beichen for more than ten days. He is known as the son of the merry man. As for what out-of-the-ordinary things he did in Tibet, it's hard to say.

Wherever his troops went, even the generals of Dajian knew that buying a girl in a city kiln to reward their subordinates, cleverly setting up a name to blackmail the gentry, and even taking a fancy to a beautiful little daughter-in-law, that could also make things happen.

There was once a lieutenant who was rebelled against Dajian from his team described it like this, next a city, robbed chickens, ducks, silver, and carried back to the young marshal when he saw a beautiful woman, if the young marshal scolded, he would put on a smile and send the woman to the young marshal's bed, no matter what, the young marshal would not be held accountable.

Very bad!

It wasn't until later that he took charge of the Black Armor Army that he began to gradually converge!

But this thing is a label that he can't get rid of, so when Bailiang City was broken, even if he didn't do anything to Jiang Anqing, no one in the world believed that he hadn't done it!

Of course, in the era of war and chaos, let alone him, which general is not like this? Even Wang Xiping, the marshal of Dajian, who has the best reputation, once played with the women in the palace when he took Northern Chu. Zhao Su knew that in the future, instead of blaming him, he gave him all those women.

This is the status gap, the same thing, Wang Xiping did not make a mistake, but also benefited. Liu Tingyu was scolded and dismissed.

The world is not fair!

Yao Shan was still thinking about it, and the bowl of noodles was almost finished.

Compared with General Li, he had to drink up the soup even if he ate a bowl of noodles, while Yao Shan didn't even finish the Ding Ding of Zangzi's vegetables, and only took a few bites of noodles to eat.

It seems a pity, but after all, he is not from the Northland, and General Li is embarrassed to talk about him. I just asked him if he was full and if he wanted to make a few more noodles.

He excused himself, feeling that he was already full.

General Li nodded, didn't say anything, didn't eat enough, and went to the next bowl.

Yao Shan leaned on the railing of the building and looked at the scenery in the castle in the early morning.

The passes and checkpoints in the Hexi Corridor are all fortified fortresses built in the shape of castles, and there are no long walls built to divide the entire terrain like the Great Wall.

The climate here has created the Danxia landform, and the surrounding vision is wide, and even the wind and grass cannot escape the eyes of the surveillance post. And once it is targeted by the government, it is difficult to get rid of it. Therefore, it was built like a castle fortress, mainly for life, to resist the wind, sand and cold.

Most of the castles are walls made of mud, which are suitable for defense in times of war and suitable for people to live in peacetime.

This kind of castle built with walls is common in the northwest and is generally called Loess City.

The tallest building in the fort is the official guardhouse, which is convenient for watching the situation outside the fort and for monitoring every move inside the fort.

Yao Shan was watching the busy figure in the castle in the morning from the tower of the guard at this moment.

It was dawn, and the caravans were up and ready to go.

According to their itinerary, they generally start from this pass, and if the foot is fast enough, they can reach Yumen Pass before dark. Take a break there and you're ready to go!

Go out, it's the most chaotic place now, an area in Anxi.

And Yao Shan, the place where they want to go is there, along the ancient river to Hami, that is, the area of the Tianshan Mountains.

During the Tang Dynasty, the territory even expanded to East Asia, and six major prefectures were established: Anxi Prefecture, Anbei Prefecture, Shan Yu Prefecture, Andong Prefecture, Annan Prefecture, and Beiting Prefecture.

The level of the prefecture is equivalent to that of the prefecture, and the reason why it is called is because they are important and distinguish them from ordinary prefectures.

This is also the embodiment of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty at that time.

It's just a pity that during the Tang Xuanzong period, the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty was like a flash in the pan, and under the blow of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline. Control over these areas outside the border is also rapidly shrinking.

Thinking about it back then, it seems that men in any period are inseparable from women, such as Tang Xuanzong, who was obsessed with a Yang Taizhen, and as a result, he almost lost his country.

Now, under the preparation of Zongqing Mansion, three women have been sent to the palace. I heard that Emperor Dajian Zhao Su is already old, and those things under the bed are about to reach the point of being powerless, but when I see the young and beautiful woman, I still like it tightly. There are two concubines who sleep with them every day, and their health is getting worse, which makes the ministers in the court very worried.

This matter is actually a good thing, especially the decision made by Yao Qingfeng, the young master of Zongqing Mansion. I didn't expect even God to help, the crown prince Zhao Yi died too suddenly, and the second prince Zhao Ling, who they followed, took the throne so easily!

Now, as long as the old emperor and Wang Dingyang die, Dajian will be the world of Zongqing Mansion!

I was sketching out a fantasy about the future in my mind, and suddenly I had a strange feeling. Looking at the caravan below that was preparing for departure, Yao Shan looked over, as if there were a few people who seemed to be familiar!

If you look closely, you can't help but have the muscles in your eye sockets throbbing.

Suddenly seeing the man turn his head, Yao Shan hurriedly pretended to look away, and greeted the sergeant standing guard on the side, smiling as if chatting.

The sergeant next to him also seemed to notice his reaction, and also cooperated in greeting him, and even covered for him.

When Lian Kang turned around and traveled with the caravan, Yao Shan leaned over again to look carefully, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Soon the guard told General Li about this, and he also dropped half of the noodles he had eaten, ran out to look at Yao Shan, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yao Shan pointed to the people in the caravan and said to General Li, "General, have you heard of Lian Kang of the Flying Eagle Division?"

"What?

"Yes, he is Lian Kang of the Flying Eagle Division, there are his people in the caravan, I know a few, Bailie Fist Han Biao, Zhangqing Flying Ape Geng Hui, it's them!"

After being stunned for a moment, General Li was puzzled: "Mr. Yao, aren't you from Dajian? Why are you still telling me about this? Could it be a trap? Want to trap our Xiyong army?"

At this time, I didn't expect General Li to be so cautious, Yao Shansheng was afraid that he would let Lian Kang go, so he hurriedly explained: "Our Zongqing Mansion is loyal to the second prince, Lian Kang has always supported the eldest prince, and he has been helping Zhao Yi to squeeze out our Duan Wang Ye in the past few years, this time Duan Wang Ye is back, he knows that the prince will definitely deal with him, so he disappeared under the pretext of carrying out some secret mission! I didn't expect to be here, I heard that your young marshal was also assassinated by him a few days ago, and he almost killed him! General Li, you can't let him go!"

I didn't expect his reaction, General Li was also embarrassed, he is usually cautious, Yao Shan is a great builder, how can he believe this? But he has also heard what Yao Shan said, it is not impossible, but he is still a little worried and hesitant.

"General, I swear to God, what I said is true, you must not let him escape, think about it, where will he go out?

These words moved General Li, who immediately nodded, he was calm and ordered: "Gather people!"

"Yes!"

Yao Shan rolled up his sleeves: "I'll go too, Lian Kang's martial arts are not low, one more person has more strength!"

General Li nodded and motioned for him to go down and prepare.

So the little sect master in white jumped directly downstairs and quickly summoned the people of their Zongqing Mansion.

This time when he went to the Guan, in addition to the people from their Zongqing Mansion, Yao Chengyan also bought a lot of swordsmen to deal with the Red Lotus Sect, and there were more than a dozen people who followed Yao Shan. It's just right to use it all!

General Li instructed the adjutant general beside him: "This matter cannot be rushed, notify Xikou Pass, Shuangqi Pass, Linshan Pass, and the superintendent's battalion, explain the situation, and we will intercept it on the road." ”

"Yes, head, don't you send someone to keep an eye on them, in case they run away?"

"Let the eagle watch, people can't go, I heard that Lian Kang's martial arts are superb, if you send someone to watch, he will definitely find out!"

"Understood!"

The adjutant general was just about to go down, but General Li grabbed him: "Wait," and gave him a look.

Looking at his expression, the deputy general immediately understood, leaned his ear over, and heard him whisper: "Spread the news and tell the young marshal that Lian Kang is going west, possibly to Guazhou." ”

"Yes!"

Watching his subordinates quickly run downstairs, General Li secretly thought to himself, looked at Yao Shan, who was eagerly prepared, frowned slightly, and then summoned his subordinates to gather, and after coming over, he grabbed Yao Shan and told him his plan.

The caravan that followed Lian Kang first had already reported to the Governor's Mansion and was ready to wait for the arrival of the Governor's army to encircle and suppress Lian Kang.

This is a bit of a knife to kill chickens, right?

Lian Kang's team is only about 20 people, and tens of thousands of people are used to encircle and suppress?

Yao Shan couldn't cry or laugh, but he was a general, and he had the final say, so he had no choice but to nod.

In fact, he also understood that this was because General Li did not trust him.

Normal, whoever called him is also a big builder!
