When night comes, all the ugly things in the world are covered with a coat of paint and hide in the sanctimonious order.
When the moon rises and sets, the city of light turns into a city of sin. Apart from hiding in a corner and sobbing quietly, what else can those children who are homeless because of the war do?
People are like swordsmen, and I am like fish and meat. Perhaps, the choice is not in their hands from the beginning to the end.
On the city walls, in the alleys, next to the wine shops, in this once infinitely glorious Broken Leaf Holy City, almost every place and every corner you can imagine is stained with blood.
Blood color? Blood color! This is a color that makes people sad, happy, depressed, or crazy.
For these Anxi Tang soldiers, everything in front of them is normal. There is no right or wrong in war, only victory or defeat. They have shed tears and shed blood, and they are used to the joys and sorrows of the world, life and death...
.
Although after the war, the Anxi Tang Army has carried out preliminary cleaning of the streets of Suiye City, and some unclean things have been removed immediately. But if you pay a little attention, you will still find something in a sparsely populated dead end.
Two severed arms, or a vaguely identifiable corpse.
The owners of these stumps and broken arms may be the original owner of Suiye City, Tuqi Shiren, or they may be the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty that it now belongs to. Of course, no matter who their identity is, they will end up being sent outside the city.
A mass grave several miles away was covered with a handful of loess.
After the war, we were most afraid of the plague. If these corpses were not disposed of promptly and properly, it would likely lead to irreversible consequences.
The deceased are already dead, so of course we cannot let their pain continue to the living. Perhaps this choice is beneficial to both parties.
In fact, it was not easy for the Tang army to win. If Li Kuo, the governor of Shule in the Tang Dynasty, had not led the Tongwu soldiers to join the battlefield at the last moment, Zhou Fanghu and Qiao Feng, who were besieged, would probably have been killed by the frenzied Tuqi Shiren.
Turn it into minced meat. You must know that Belkin issued a ruthless order, intending to surround and kill this group of Tang soldiers at all costs.
He actually gave up the defense at the top of the city and sent all the mobilizable Tuqishi soldiers in Suiye City to the east gate of Suiye City, and started a bloody hand-to-hand battle with the Tang army.
They knew that there was no hope of defending the city, and they just hoped to be able to pull these Tianwei Army soldiers on their backs before they died. Although Zhou Fanghu, Qiao Feng and others were strong, they were exhausted after a long battle and were attacked by the Tuqi Shi Shi in turns, and they were gradually exhausted.
Every time they raised their swords, it took several times more effort than usual for them, but their opponents seemed to be like beasts that didn't know how to be tired, charging at them ferociously.
Five hundred and thirty-seven people, three hundred and fourteen people, one hundred and thirty-two people, seventy-three people...
In the end, there were only thirteen people left in the entire vanguard, including Zhou and Qiao. It was these thirteen people who created a miracle and persisted until the moment when the army entered the city!
When the Tang Dynasty military flag with the red word "Tang" printed on it appeared in front of Qiao and Tuesday people, they felt like they were hallucinating.
However, when the handsome young general rushed into the formation with a black knife and chopped down several Tuqishi, and when the warm blood of the enemy chief splattered on their cheeks, they could finally believe that they were not here.
dream!
"We are Paoze, we are brothers who have died!"
The young general gave everyone a heroic smile, resolving all the previous barriers between the two parties.
The glaciers melted and turned into sweet springs flowing into the wilderness. In the barren land watered by blood, flowers finally bloomed.
"He clearly, clearly wants to make things difficult for us! He is not a child of his own mother, so of course he doesn't care. We had a problem with him before, and that kid must be disgusted and wants to use the hands of a sudden rider to put us in trouble.
Death place!"
Zhou Fanghu's ears are still ringing with the words of the captain. Yes, Tianwei Army has a problem with him. He can kill people with a borrowed knife, and then put the responsibility on Tuqi Shiren after everyone is dead.
He could have taken this opportunity to trap and kill everyone with the help of Tuqi Shiren!
Anyway, Tu Qi Shiren is already at the end of his strength. Anyway, he can easily break the city later. He can take this opportunity to take revenge on everyone who once questioned and challenged his authority.
But he didn't. The young general, who was as gentle as jade and as strong as a rock, used his actions to tell everyone what kind of talent is worthy of being a general of the Tang Dynasty!
This person doesn’t need a grandpa who serves as prime minister or minister in the court, nor does he need an uncle who serves as a governor in the border army. All he needs is a pure heart that treats him like a brother!
"We are Paoze, brothers who have died!"
Zhou Fanghu felt so happy at that moment.
The subsequent actions seemed stylized and boring. The Tang army routinely blocked some main streets in Suiye City and conducted house-to-house searches in some important areas. The reason was simple. Some of the Tuoqi Shi Yunie saw that the situation was not going well during the battle.
Transfer in the city.
In order that the people in the city would no longer be tortured by the Tuqi Shi people, the deputy envoy of Jiedu decided to eradicate the roots of the Tuqi Shi people and wipe out the remaining evildoers in one fell swoop. Of course, General Li specially ordered that the Tang troops in Anxi should not harass the people in the city and must do everything in their power.
No crime.
Of course, giving an order is one thing, but it is another thing when the order is delivered to the soldiers. Tianwei's soldiers did not have a good impression of these barbarian people. During the war, many of their brothers died because they helped them. If the general
No order was given, even if they don't lose their skin, the brothers still have to give these cheap bones a good beating. But since the general has given the order, everyone has to give him some face.
The final result was of course that the sensible people of Suiye City spontaneously presented gifts one after another to express their gratitude to the Tang army for capturing Suiye and saving them from the fire and water.
Since the actions of these common people were completely "spontaneous" and were not forced by the soldiers at all, Li Kuo just turned a blind eye.
Of course, this result is much kinder than the practice of conquering the city at every turn and massacring the whole city after the Western Regions destroyed it.
After confirming that the general situation in Suiye City was determined, Li Kuo led all the Tongwu confidants to collectively settle in Tuqishi Palace located just north of Suiye City.
This ancient building has been moved several times and has served as the Anxi Governor's Palace, the Suiye Governor's Palace, and the Tuqishi Khan Palace, witnessing the changes of the times.
It is undoubtedly very exciting to be able to personally announce to the residents of Suiye City that it has officially returned to the territory of the Tang Dynasty in this ancient building.
This honor, if you look at the borders of the Tang Dynasty, not many people can match it.
However, what made the young man feel a little regretful was that the Tuqi Shitaq Moqizhi led a group to break out of the encirclement in the chaos and was not captured alive by the Tang army. Although the Tuqi Shishi named Huang suffered all losses in the Suiye City battle
, but as long as there is no missing part of the body or head of the Moyan branch, this unstable factor will always exist.
As a Tuqishi Stark named Huang, he has great personal prestige. As long as he climbs up and shouts, he can recruit a group of people again. What's more, the Tuqishi Shi named Huang has always been flirting with the big cannibal.
Back it up, it’s not impossible for Mo Qizhi to get involved in Suiye City again.
In Suiye Palace, Li Kuo discussed the next step with a group of confidants.
"Hey, that Moqi branch is really lucky. The light cavalry I led were already about to cover up, but that guy got out of the hole!"
Li Sheng always felt guilty for not being able to capture Mo Qizhi alive, believing that his negligence had caused unnecessary trouble to everyone.
"Brother Li doesn't need to blame himself too much. As the saying goes, a rabbit will bite when it's in a hurry. The Moqi branch is also at the end of its rope. If you give it a try, it's commendable that Brother Li can capture most of his soldiers."
After the war, it was time to appease the morale of the army. Li Kuo did not want Li Sheng's self-blame to destroy the harmonious atmosphere of the entire army.
"Please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief!" Li Sheng lowered his head and bowed his hands to Li Kuo in thanks.
"It doesn't matter if Mo Qizhi ran away. As long as we can cut off his contact with the remaining people in Suiye City, we won't worry about him having any evil intentions." Li Kuo was optimistic about the matter and analyzed in a deep voice.
"What Qi Lang said is right!" Zhou Wuwei half-squinted his eyes and said, "Today's Suiye City is different from Suiye City half a year ago. At that time, although Suiye City was also recaptured by Gao Shuai, after all, the main force of the sudden cavalry donors was still there.
, once the commander-in-chief leads the army away, how can those old and weak soldiers withstand the fierce attack of the Tuqi Shi people? But this time it is different. We have wiped out all the Tuqi Shi people. Even if they want to make a comeback, they will not be able to make a comeback for three to five years.
It’s absolutely impossible!”
"Damn fat man, you're talking about Tuqishi with the surname Huang! Tucker, with the surname Tuqishi, is still eagerly waiting outside the palace for brother Kuo'er to receive him." Zhang Yanji, however, did not give Zhou any guilt at all.
To save face, Duotou poured a basin of cold water on him.
"They are closely affiliated with the Tang Dynasty. Without their help this time, we would not have captured Broken Leaf City so easily!"
Zhou Wuwei glanced at Zhang Yanji contemptuously and emphasized sternly.
"Ha!" Zhang Yanji sneered softly: "The reason why he returned to Datang in person before was because he had been suppressed and beaten by Huang Tuqi Shi Shi. He wanted to seek asylum from Datang! Now Huang Tuqi
Shi's power has been greatly reduced, and he is almost unable to compete with him for the position of Khan. Who can guarantee that his fire-breathing weapon will not become the second Moweizi? After all, the wolf cub is very wild. If anyone wants to tame it into a dog, it will definitely
It’s wishful thinking!”
"Well, it's not up to you two to decide whether he surrenders to me, the Tang Dynasty. Well, tonight I will go meet this fire-breathing Tucker first, and then we will make further calculations!"
Li Kuo waved his hands to the two people who were arguing with each other, with a smile on his face.
