The yellow sand rolls up thousands of waves, layer upon layer like mountains.
"This is probably the first time for Cen Changshi to come to this place." Li Daliang, riding on the horse, tilted his head towards Cen Wenwen beside him and said with a smile.
Cen Wenwen nodded, "It's indeed my first time, but I can get used to it."
"That's good." Li Daliang laughed, "Cen Changshi came up with the plan. You can't back down from the battle."
"Just look at it." Cen Wenwen smiled.
The emperor asked the two of them to come to Liangzhou not for vacation, but to deal with the raging sand pirates in Liangzhou.
Once you have a goal, you know the symptoms, and you just need to prescribe the right medicine.
What the bandits want is nothing more than money, so money is the best bait. This time, Cen Wenwen has secretly spread the news that a batch of sugar will be shipped to the Western Regions. And the bandits who got the news will definitely take action at this time
stand up.
Hundreds of miles away, a large number of bandits are gathering.
"It's a big fish this time. King Tianzhu will be very happy when he knows it." The leader said to his brothers.
"Tang Qi was nothing more than that. I really don't know why the Turks lost to the Tang people." A young man sneered at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was very disdainful towards Tang Qi.
The leader said respectfully: "That's what your Excellency said."
This person is Wulunqiu, the son of King Tianzhu.
At this moment, the sentry rider returned.
"Sir, the caravan has appeared!"
Wu Lunqiu shouted, "Come on, the Tang Dynasty has sent something, let's go get it!"
"yes!"
Boom!
Trampled by horse hooves, the sand bandits disguised as Tuyuhun soldiers and horses attacked the Tang merchants.
Soon, Wu Lunqiu led the bandits to surround this Tang merchant team that seemed to be transporting a large amount of goods.
"I'm lucky today. I can capture two more slaves." He said with a sinister smile.
The leader of the Tang Dynasty narrowed his eyes at Wu Lunqiu and asked, "Who are you?"
"Who are we?" Wu Lunqiu laughed loudly, "We are sand bandits!"
Bandit?
Xue Wanshu smiled, I am looking for you!
"Brothers, take action!"
He didn't waste any time talking to these bandits. He directly drew his weapons from his horse bag and called on his brothers to kill the Tuyuhun people.
The two sides fought hand to hand, and shouts of killing suddenly broke out.
Soon, Wu Lunqiu realized something was wrong. The Tang people with such fighting power were just Tang merchants?
No one answered his doubts, so Xue Wanshu led his army to kill them, routing the bandits to a pulp and chasing them for dozens of miles.
Wu Lunqiu ran away on horseback, his face gloomy. At this time, he had realized that something was wrong this time, but it was too late.
The group of disguised Tang troops behind him were already chasing them, and he could only fight to the death.
Unfortunately, with Li Daliang leading troops and horses to double-team him, Wu Lunqiu had nowhere to escape and was captured alive by Xue Wanshu.
"Are you really sand bandits?" Li Daliang looked at Wu Lunqiu. In his hand, he also held the head of the bandit's nominal leader.
Wu Lunqiu's liver and gallbladder were shattered. The Tang army he said was vulnerable to a single blow killed him, and he was unable to fight back.
"No, I'm not. My father is King Tianzhu, you can't kill me!"
King Tianzhu?
Li Daliang and Cen Wenwen looked at each other and understood.
"Big fish." Cen Wenwen chuckled.
Hearing this, Wu Lunqiu's face turned red and he didn't dare to say anything.
Snap!
Xue Wanshu slapped her with a big hand, which made Wu Lunqiu dizzy.
"Threatening me?"
"No... I am really the son of King Tianzhu." Wu Lunqiu vomited blood.
Li Daliang stopped Xue Wanshu's slap, "Don't be impatient. If this man is really the son of King Tianzhu, it will be too easy to kill him."
"That's what the manager said." Xue Wanshu nodded.
Li Daliang waved his hand, "Take it away!"
Soon after, the news that Wu Lunqiu was captured by the Tang army reached the ears of King Tianzhu. As a minister whom Tuyuhun Khan relied on, King Tianzhu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar when he learned that his son had been captured. Although they had been in Liangzhou area
They are attacking the Tang people everywhere, but this does not mean that they have the courage to start a full-scale war with the Tang army now.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have had to test Tang Jun so secretly.
Unexpectedly, my son was involved this time.
After thinking about it, King Tianzhu decided to turn the big thing into a trivial matter and sent people to Liangzhou to ask for his son.
Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.
"Han Luo, the assistant general under King Tianzhu's tent, has met Manager Li."
"Tang people?" Li Daliang looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked.
"Sui people." Han Luo said calmly.
Li Daliang laughed, he turned out to be a former Sui Zhong thief.
"What are you doing here?"
"Why does the manager need to ask so much? I am here because of King Tianzhu's son, Wu Lunqiu." Han Luo said: "If Manager Li doesn't want to cause a war between the two countries, he should release Wu Lunqiu as soon as possible.
So that you don’t get into trouble yourself.”
"Are you threatening my manager?" Li Daliang's eyes turned cold.
"It's just stating the facts." Han Luo said: "It's important for people to know themselves, and you, Mr. Li, must also know this. If Wu Lunqiu has any good intentions, King Tianzhu will definitely send troops to conquer you. When the time comes, if Emperor Tang is furious with thunder,
You bear the brunt of it."
"Hahaha." Li Daliang couldn't help laughing, and the generals in the tent also looked at him with mocking looks.
After the death of Tujue, no one had dared to say this to General Tang. Now when I heard it, it seemed particularly ridiculous.
"What's so funny?" Han Luo said coldly: "Don't think we don't know that natural disasters have occurred in the Central Plains in recent years. You are no match for me, Tuyuhun. Why don't you release them quickly?"
Li Daliang stood up slowly, stretched his muscles and bones, and said to Xue Wanshu: "I heard that General Xue was good at cutting off ears in Liaodong. Why don't you show me something this time?"
In the past, when the Turks were defeated and the Xi tribe was destroyed, the Khitan and Xue brothers all participated. Xue Wanshu was also inexplicably known as the "Ear-Cut General" because of his bravery.
The name was very funny. When the Khitan was destroyed, Xue Wanshu just suggested that ears could be used to indicate the number of beheadings, so as to avoid snatching heads during the battle, which would increase the load and reduce combat effectiveness.
Xue Wanshu smiled bitterly and explained: "I will cut my ears in the future, but I am not good at cutting my ears."
"It's all the same. Cut off his ears first. I feel uncomfortable." Li Daliang ordered calmly.
"As commanded."
Han Luo was immediately shocked, how could these guys be so cruel and ready to be executed at every turn.
"Don't kill the envoys when the two countries are fighting. You can't break the rules!" Han Luo quickly retreated.
"Envoy?" Li Daliang sneered coldly, "You are a traitor to our court, how can we tolerate it? Where is the right and left!"
"exist!"
"Get him!"
"yes!"
Han Luo was pushed to the ground, and his cheek was in close contact with the ground.
"If you kill me, King Tianzhu will avenge me!"
"You are so stupid." Li Daliang said: "If Tuyuhun was really bold, how could he send you to test him?"
Wu Lunqiu was captured by him, and Tugu Hunruo was really arrogant. It should not be Han Luo who came now, but the soldiers and horses of King Tianzhu.
Not long after, there was a scream.
Xue Wanshu dropped the ears in her hands on the ground and asked, "What should we do next?"
Li Daliang chuckled, "General Xue, this is such a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds, what else should I do?"
Xue Wanshu's eyes lit up, "The general will understand, now go and set up defenses!"
"Go ahead."
"yes."
Cen Wenwen looked at the dying Han Luo on the ground and said, "If King Tianzhu uses troops, will Manager Li have the confidence to defend Liangzhou?"
"If not, how dare I be so provocative." Li Daliang said coolly, and then he asked: "Did Wu Lunqiu be sent to Chang'an?"
"Um."
"Okay, first I will offer you a Wu Lun Qiu, and next time, I will offer you a Tianzhu King."
