It is said that Li Bing and a dozen of them chased out, and the soldiers were divided into three ways to attack, originally with the intention of winning, wanting to force Xiao Li into a dead corner and catch turtles in an urn.

But when the three teams of men and horses hit an alley, this person disappeared out of thin air. A group of heroes still searched around Fengzhou for a long time, but they still couldn't find any clues, so they could only return to the "chivalrous line". Only Qian Xingbang was obsessed with this matter, and vowed to find out Xiao Li at the moment.

Despite the persuasion, he did not go back with the others.

One of them walked around the city of Toyosu for two more hours, and along the way he seemed to be looking for someone, but in fact he kept glancing behind him with his spare eyes, and finally made sure that he was not being followed.

It's already midnight, and there are fewer pedestrians on the streets. Qian Xingbang touched the door of a small house in the east of the city, and knocked on the door five times, with an interval of two long and two short.

The person inside didn't ask, and opened the door directly to him, and as soon as the two took a look, the man showed a surprised gaze, and turned cautiously to look around, first let Qian Xingbang come in, and then asked: "Why are you here at this time, no one is following it, is the plan a failure?"

"Don't worry, it's all good, I'm careful, no one is following. Things have changed, so Qian Xingbang wanted to continue, but the man interrupted: "Go in and talk about it, there are other people in the room"

The courtyard was not large, with only three rooms in total, and two people pushed the door into the main hall, and four people sat inside.

As soon as Qian Xingbang and the four of them met, they showed shocked faces: "Oh, Master Yiping, why are you here in the three heroes of the Momo family, you are all here, what a coincidence"

The humane name "Yiping" was a white-haired old man in his fifties, wearing a dark yellow gossip robe, and a light white beard was not thick, but it was as long as his chest. When he saw Qian Xingbang, he immediately got up: "Oh, isn't this the captain of the Qian family army in the bowl and the state Qian family army for many years, and I didn't expect to meet here again." ”

"Eh Bo and Zhou have fallen, I have long since taken off the military, a captain, I dare not use it again, you still call me by my real name"

"Your Qian family is full of loyalty, even if you get out of the military, what's the harm in calling Captain Qian again?"

These two sentences were said lightly, but they moved Qian Xingbang, since five years ago, thousands of his parents, brothers, wives and daughters, and military colleagues died in the "Battle of Big and Small Bolu", the name of Captain Qian has never been heard again. Now that he was called again, the old life of Rong Ma and the hatred of the destruction of the city and the destruction of the family appeared in front of him again, and under the excitement, his throat was hot, and his eyes were bloodshot in an instant.

The person who came in at the door just now watched everyone get up and beckoned everyone to sit down and talk. This Zhuangzi is the intelligence base of the Mo family in Fengzhou, this person is the master of Zhuangzi, Mo Ziyu, in his forties, he is a literati, not in martial arts, but he is a good hand at exploring intelligence.

"I also wanted to introduce to Ichihei Michigan, who knows that everyone knows each other, it will be more convenient. ”

Yiping Daoist also said: "Twenty years ago, during the Hengros War, I and a few Taoist friends joined the reinforcement team of Bohe Prefecture, and fought side by side with the Qian family army of the Xiao family army at that time, so we are familiar with each other. Broken Leaf City and Bohe Prefecture are not too far away, and every few years, I will visit the Xiao and Qian families. Whenever I want to talk about military Taoism with the two families, I feel that the conversation is very pleasant and I have benefited a lot, but it's a pity. ”

The "Heng Rus War" was a head-on conflict between the two most powerful civilizations in the world at that time, the Tang Dynasty and the Arab Empire. In the end, the Tang Dynasty ended in defeat, which halted the pace of the Tang Dynasty's territorial expansion, so that the Tang Dynasty could reach as far as Hengrus, that is, the border between present-day Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.

The battle of Big and Small Bolu was also a pain in Qian Xingbang's heart, he didn't want to indulge in sadness, so he no longer talked about this topic, but asked: "Master Yiping, is there anything important about coming to the Central Plains from Broken Leaf City?"

"It's very important, I just told the three heroes of the Mo family about this," he muttered, and said: "There is a Yuening County Lord in Gelulu, you know?"

"Her great name, under Anthy, no one knows. As soon as he said half of it, the three brothers of the Mo family were confused, and explained:

"A few people are in the Central Plains and may not know much about things in Anxi. Gelulu is a nomadic people, a bit like the Hui Hui, canonized by the Tang Dynasty, is a vassal state under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, the Tang Dynasty helped it imitate Chang'an, and also established a Gongyue City as the capital, echoing the Broken Leaf City. It's just that the scale is not as large as Broken Leaf City, and it is not one of the four towns in Anxi. ”

"Qarluq Khan has a princess, brave and good at fighting, with extremely high martial arts, who has helped the Tang Dynasty to make a lot of military exploits, and is widely famous in Anxi, and her prestige is almost as high as that of Qarluq Khan. More than ten years ago, he was canonized, and his title was the lord of Yuening. The princess of the subject country can generally only be named the county lord, but she was named the county lord, which shows the great credit. ”

Yiping Daoren answered: "That's right, it's her, a month ago, I intercepted a message in Broken Leaf City, which said that the Lord of Yuening County secretly recruited troops and horses, expanded armaments, and wanted to attack Broken Leaf City. ”

"Ah" Qian Xingbang was shocked: "Tuqishi and Ge Lulu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty before and after, and the imperial court also set up Broken Leaf City and Gongyue City respectively to teach them to educate. If these two vassal states want to go to war, wouldn't it mean that Gelulu will break away from the control of the Tang Dynasty and prepare to stand on his own?"

"Exactly. Yiping Daoren's face was solemn: "The Tuqi Shi is withering day by day, and the location of Broken Leaf City is so important in the trade route, the county lord of Yuening is probably interested in this, so he is ready to take advantage of the weakness of the Tang Dynasty to seize the city and stand on its own." ”

"So you came this time to warn the imperial court"

"No, I have already told the Lord of the Anxi Protectorate, he said that Ge Lulu has been disobedient for a long time, and in the Hengluo War, they also secretly used their tricks to make the Tang Dynasty fall short, but now Anxi is also short of troops, and he can't confront it head-on, so he can only be careful and vigilant. ”

Yiping Daoren looked at the three brothers of the Mo family, and changed his words: "I can only help there with the affairs of the court." I came this time because that news also included a matter of rivers and lakes. ”

He was silent for a moment, probably because the involvement was too great at this time, he said very carefully, word by word: "I also found out that the county lord of Yuening actually has another identity in the rivers and lakes, that is, the first Feng Venerable of the North Fourth Hall of Rongjiao, together with the money and food she recruited troops and horses at this time, and also has the strong support of Rongjiao." ”

"Ah" Third Brother Mo Dye Hu exclaimed: "Among the sixteen Venerables of the Rong Sect, it is these two Venerables of the Dragon and Phoenix who are the most mysterious. If this news is true, then Rongjiao is really resurrected, and this time it is even more popular. ”

"Yes, I know that this matter is very important, and I am anxious to tell this matter to Zhongyuan Decency. But the matter is too big, I am not familiar with the Central Plains knights, so I dare not spread the news indiscriminately, or through a close friend, I connected with the Nanmo family. He looked at Mo Ran Jiang: "The Nanmo family is chivalrous and helps the world, this news tells you, I am very relieved, I hope it can help to eradicate the Rong Sect." ”

"This news is very important, we will contact the Mo family camp tonight to see if we can send someone to Bow Moon City Broken Leaf City to take a walk. The third brother of Mo, Mo Ranhu, has always been the one who makes suggestions among the three brothers of the Mo family, and he also knows that this matter is too important, so he muttered to himself: "I can't imagine that the power of Rongjiao has actually extended beyond the Central Plains, and has also entered the royal family of the vassal country. ”

"Yes, we were already shocked when we found out that the Xia Kexing Inn was the intelligence base of Rongjiao in Fengzhou, but we didn't expect that even the vassal country now has the power of Rongjiao, and it is really unbelievable that he is also the lord of the county, and the background of Rongjiao may be greater than we thought. Mo Ziyu also sighed.

The speaker had no intention, but this suddenly woke up Qian Xingbang, and he suddenly patted his head: "Oh, your news is so shocking that I almost forgot about my coming."

"Two months ago, Brother Ziyu came to me and said that he had found the intelligence base of the Rong Sect, and that Third Brother Mo had a plan and needed my help. As soon as I heard his idea, I readily agreed, and I also found my friend of life and death, Xiao Li, to complete this huge plan together."

Yiping Daoist heard the name Xiao Li familiar, and asked in a low voice: "Is it Captain Xiao of the Xiao Family's Army?"

"That's right, it's him. In the battle of Big and Small Bolu, Captain Xiao's army escaped with his life, and then he had a plan and pretended to surrender, and Tubo declared to the outside world that it was Xiao Jiajun who betrayed Bo Hezhou and wanted to confirm Captain Xiao's crimes, so that he had no way out. Xiao Li is in Tubo, but he is concerned about the Tang Dynasty, two years after surrendering, he found out a lot of news from Tubo, and has been secretly revealed to Anxi, until three years ago, he noticed that Tubo began to suspect him, no longer reused, and escaped. ”

"The good generals of the Tang Dynasty have always cherished their names as their lives, and they are upright and worthy of admiration. But people like Xiao Xiaowei, who dare to defy the world's condemnation and protect their families and the country despite the world's infamy, can be called heroes of the world. Second Brother Mo touched his beard and admired Xiao Li: "It's a pity that I couldn't meet him, otherwise I would have to drink three bowls with such a hero."

"Brother Xiao can endure the inability of ordinary people, chivalrous and courageous, I also admire it very much. I never thought that his infamy and sincerity experience would be of great use to Brother Mozhi Lake. Qian Xingbang smiled faintly, and then said:

"Brother Ziyu found out that the East Fourth Hall of Rongjiao was destroyed, and wanted to recruit new people to re-establish a branch hall in Huifu, so he contacted me and Xiao Li, and staged a drama of brothers against their goals together. wants to confirm Xiao Li's disloyal and unrighteous identity, so that Rongjiao thinks that he has no place in the Tang Dynasty Tubo, so that he can use him with peace of mind.

Thanks to the script written by Third Brother Mo in advance, Brother Xiao and I have practiced many times, and this drama not only has to confirm his identity, but also shows Brother Xiao's martial arts and temperament. ”

We originally planned to have a real martial arts competition tomorrow, but we fought in front of everyone, disrupted the competition of Rongjiao, and picked up the opportunity to let Xiao Li be in the limelight. I don't want Brother Xiao to see a figure falling from the sky and falling on the roof of the chivalrous house today, and the light skill is even several times more powerful than him.

Since his martial arts were so high, he guessed that the person was the master of the Rong Sect, and he was afraid that the person would not be there tomorrow and the opportunity could not be lost, so he instructed me in the lobby of the inn to stage this drama in advance. ”

"Clever plan" Yiping Daoist listened wonderfully, laughed and said: "In this way, his identity is solid, and he has great ability, and he is bound to take on a heavy responsibility in Rongjiao, and it only takes one or two years to be firmly embedded in Rongjiao, waiting for the opportunity to move, and give Rongjiao a fatal blow." Captain Qian, come here, this ploy should have become"

The whole plan was implemented properly, and Qian Xingbang was also very happy: "It should be done, more than a dozen of us have not found anyone else in Fengzhou, presumably it has been rescued by the steward of Rongjiao, I also wanted to go back to Chivalry, but I am stupid, I am afraid that so many people will ask more, I can't deal with it properly, and I will be seen by Rongjiao, it is better to hide it, pretend to continue to pursue Xiao Li, and never go back." ”

"It's so good, God really bless me, Datang's plan is a success, and the destruction of the Rongjiao is just around the corner"

The table was full for five days, chatting happily, and the joyful atmosphere filled the whole room.

Both the Turgish and the Qarluq were nomadic peoples, and between the Tang and Song dynasties, they were integrated into other ethnic groups, and their history was broken, and they were roughly integrated into the five countries of Central Asia today.

In fact, this battle of Hengros involved as many as twenty or thirty countries and nationalities, and the forces of Anxi were also very complicated. I'm afraid of confusing everyone, so I'm trying to omit information.

I don't specialize in history, so if there are any fallacies, I hope you will forgive me.
