Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3260

The power of the army is achieved by winning battles one after another.

The prestige of the coach is also achieved by leading the soldiers under his command in battles, and there is absolutely no trickery.

Fang Jun ate a piece of barbecue, and ordered: "Tomorrow, we will pull out the camp and continue westward. After bypassing Jiaohe City, the whole army will set up camp. Waiting for the command of the commander, we will kill every carbine, break through Jiaohe City, and catch those dog thieves one by one. Come out and declare the canonical punishment, so as to serve as an example to others!"

"Here!"

Pei Xingjian and Cheng Wuting responded with a bang.

They all know that if the occupation develops as expected, this battle will not only wipe out all the traitors inside the Anxi Protectorate, but also completely open up the Anxi army's rear route, and will be able to gain the full support of the Huihe people.The two armies joined together and marched westward to support the Anxi Army, which was much stronger than You Tunwei's own efforts.

It won't be like before, Anxi's army can only retreat step by step, fortify the wall and clear the field, but have the power to fight.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, except for the shame that the Turkic Jieli Khan led the army straight into the capital and north of the Weishui River by Chen Bing, forcing His Majesty Li Er to sign the Weishui Alliance, he has always suppressed the surrounding barbarians. Fighting to death, why was Anxi Jun so aggrieved now?

This was not caused by the low combat power of the Anxi Army, but was affected by the whole country's Eastern Expedition, which caused the strength of the Anxi Army to be damaged and the support was insufficient.

If it was a battle with sharp swords and spears, no army in the Tang Dynasty would have feared the barbarians, let alone the elite Anxi army?
Although the Anxi Army fought aggrievedly in the Battle of the Western Regions, in the entire Datang army sequence, there were few people who mocked the Anxi Army and more people who shared the same hatred. Everyone held their breath and wanted to go to the Western Regions to support the Anxi Army. Kill hard for a while!
*****
The world is vast, and the snow field is vast.

A hundred miles to the west of Jiaohe City, there is a place where two rivers converge, and they cross to enclose a ten-foot-high loess platform, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle, shaped like a willow leaf.A majestic city is built on an earthen platform. In summer, it is surrounded by water and the terrain is extremely high.

This place is the center of Tang's rule in the Western Regions, Jiaohe City.

Under the heavy snow all over the sky, a group of knights roared up on the frozen river, and when they reached a hundred steps away from the city wall, Qiqi Lema stood still. The leader was sitting on the horseback, holding the reins tightly with one hand, and raised the other hand. Pushing the bamboo hat above his head to cover the snow and wind, revealing a pair of eagle-like eyes, he stared coldly at Jiaohe City, which was built on the rising loess platform ahead.

A person behind him reined in his horse and took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "General, Jiaohe City is where the Anxi Governor's Mansion is located. The city is full of Tang troops. It is too risky for you to enter alone, so you might as well think about it."

Another person also dissuaded: "The Han people are treacherous, what if this time it is to deceive the general, lure the general into the city, surround and kill him, what should I do?"

That general was the Turkic general Ashina Helu. Hearing this, he sneered, his bearded face was as cold and hard as ice and snow, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, but it seemed that he could not refuse: "The Han people often say, 'If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can't get it. Huzi', today I entered Jiaohe City to see if they have the guts to leave my life here! You go back to the camp for now and take strict precautions against all parties. Don't be scouted to the camp. , Waiting for me to come back, we will gather our soldiers and horses together, enter Jiaohe City, and win this heartland of the Western Regions for the Turks and the Great Khan, and make great achievements!"

"Here!"

The people behind him did not dare to persuade them any more, and took orders one after another.

Ashina Helu pressed down the brim of the hat again, waved his hand, and rode ahead, followed by two personal guards, three of them braved the wind and snow, crossed the frozen river, and reached the city gate under.

The rest of the soldiers watched for a while, and only after the figures of the three disappeared into the wind and snow, did they turn their horses and follow the way they came back to the camp where the army was stationed.

……

The gates of the city were closely checked, and two teams of soldiers stood on both sides of the gate with horizontal knives, one on the left and one on the right, and searched the people and merchants who came in and out one by one.

But Ashina Helu couldn't be bothered, the people in the city had already prepared a suitable identity for him, and after the guards around him showed the documents to the soldiers, they let him go without a single question.

After Ashina Helu entered the city, he rode slowly along the long street in the city. At this moment, it was snowing heavily, and the streets and alleys were covered with thick snow. Swaying in the wind and snow under the guise, the rest of the stores are all closed for proofing.

Countless houses are quiet and peaceful in the wind and snow, and the prosperity and prosperity in normal times can be vaguely seen.

Ashina Helu has fought in the Western Regions for many years, but he has never set foot in such a city ruled by the Tang people. As he walked slowly, he looked around and was very interested. He couldn't help secretly admiring the Tang people's ability. A loess platform washed out, but through the joint efforts of the army and the people of the Tang Dynasty, a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack was abruptly built, and it quickly developed into the core of the entire Western Region and a node on the Silk Road. In just over ten years Prosperously and prosperously.

When it comes to construction, the people of Tang Dynasty are invincible.

However, although the Turkic people envied the Tang people's ability to create prosperity from scratch, they would never learn it.Turkic people grew up on horseback since they were young. They are skilled in arching horses and have a fierce personality. Why do they need to learn words and arithmetic?

Since the people of the Tang Dynasty were good at creating, they were able to build a city in such a barren land and make it prosperous and prosperous. The Turkic people only need to ride horses, hold bows, and carry knives to grab it...

Inferior people will work hard to build, like the Turks, a nation favored by God, just wait for others to build it with painstaking efforts before grabbing it.

Not long after the three of them walked forward, there was a group of cavalry slowly approaching from the other side of the street. The first to trot was the soldiers who were in charge of searching pedestrians and merchants outside the city gate just now.The soldier pointed to this side, and said a few words to the man on horseback, then avoided the roadside, trotted along the wall of the shop and went back to the city gate to continue his duty.

People from both sides stopped and looked at each other.

The two guards around him had already put their hands on the handle of the scimitar hidden under the thick cotton-padded clothes, and when they found anything wrong, they would rush forward and kill them desperately, fighting for Ashina Helu to escape. Chance.

Ashina Helu was not afraid at all, took two steps forward while reining in the reins, raised his chin slightly, exposed his falcon-like eyes under the bamboo hat, and said coldly: "I have heard that Tang people are very polite and hospitable. Shouldn't we just discuss on this street? We should find a place to sit, eat a few bites of meat, and drink a jug of wine."

The leader on the opposite side was dressed in the military uniform of the Tang army. Hearing this, he was slightly taken aback, then nodded and said, "That's right, please."

After saying that, he poked his horse's head and walked into a side alley first.The alley was covered with deep snow, the horse moved forward slowly, made a turn, and traveled a certain distance before stopping in front of a door, got off the horse, knocked on the door a few times, waited until the door opened, rushed Looking at Ashina Helu who followed behind, he clasped his fists and said, "Please."

Ashina Helu looked left and right on the horse's back, then dismounted, and strode into the courtyard without hesitation.

The gate is not big, but after entering the gate, I realized that the yard is not small. At this moment, the snow on the ground has been swept away, and there is no thin layer that just fell. A group of people entered the yard before the gate was closed.The rest of the people were led to the side rooms by the servants in the courtyard, the horses were tied to the hitching posts in the courtyard, and Ashina Helu was invited into the main hall.

The hall is not big, but the windows are bright and clean. The floor is covered with wooden floors. It is very warm when you take off your boots and step on it. It is obvious that the ground dragon is burning.

Seeing him coming in, the three people who were kneeling in front of the table got up one after another, and everyone greeted each other.

Ashina Helu took off his bamboo hat, revealing a square face full of beards, and a pair of eagle-like eyes flashed across the faces of the three people in front of him, before he cupped his hands, speaking in blunt Chinese: "Ashina He Lu, I have seen you all."

The first person was of moderate build, neither fat nor thin, about forty years old, with a thin appearance, but a scar on his forehead spread from the hairline to the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, making him look a bit more ruthless, and he replied politely : "The guard of Jiaohe City, Hou Mo Chensui, has met the general."

There was a person beside him who was probably in his thirties, with three long beards, his face was upright, and he had an extraordinary look. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "The secretary of the Anxi Governor's Mansion joins the army, Changsun Ming."

Ashina Helu's gaze stayed on his face for a while, and he nodded slowly.

The last one was tall and slender, and he should have a handsome face, but there were two wounds on his forehead and cheeks, and the bones were deeply visible, making the whole person look rather hideous, and he said calmly, "My eldest son Han."

Ashina Helu was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes flashed brightly. He stared at Changsun Han for a while, then laughed twice and nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, the scheme of the Changsun family is really admirable." Five-body cast!"
