A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 150 The Emperor's Night Attack
Night falls.

On the south bank of the Weihe River Bridge, the Tang army camp was filled with terror.

General Qin Qiong was going to fight the Turks at night, but Prince Li Shimin suddenly entered the camp in armor, and wanted to teach these bastards a lesson in person.

Although Qin Qiong tried hard to persuade him, Li Shimin didn't listen, and the reason was very good. The Turkic people came to his door before he ascended the throne, so he had to fight, and Li Shimin would fight immediately. This was just a small battle.

"Erlang, I entrust you with a task to personally guard His Highness the Crown Prince. The 2000 people are still under your command, but the task is no longer to raid the enemy, but to protect His Highness." Qin Qiong patted him on the shoulder and confessed solemnly.

"Duke Yi, are you going to take the lead in the night attack?"

"Who do I leave behind?"

In the past, when Qin Qiong followed Li Shimin to fight the world, who dared to show off his troops in front of Li Shimin's army, Qin Qiong would just charge forward with his horse and gun without saying a word, beheading the enemy general among the ten thousand troops.

Now the Turkic wolf cubs are making peace on the surface, but secretly came to attack Chang'an City a few days before the crown prince ascended the throne, how can this be tolerated?

"Although I've been ill for a while, I've been recuperating for two months now, and I'm much better. Tonight, let me put on my armor and hold a spear, and fight for Your Highness again!"

Although Qin Qiong's voice was not high-pitched, it was extremely domineering, with the aura of looking down on the world.

If a tiger doesn't show off its power, it's really a sick cat.

After Jieli broke into Guanzhong and stationed in martial arts, Qin Qiong wrote memorials to Li Shimin every day, asking to lead his troops to take the initiative to attack Jieli, but Li Shimin never agreed. Pass?
During the day, Feng Li, Uncle Xie and Fang were only allowed to fight. It wasn't because of previous opinions, but because they were afraid of scaring them away.

Huaiyu reported to Li Shimin.

Zhou Shaofan and Zhang Shigui are still persuading Li Shimin to watch the battle at the South Bank tonight.

"There are guards of hundreds of horses, and flying cavalry. How can I be afraid of mere miscellaneous beards? If I can't even deal with the 20 jumping beams and miscellaneous beards who have come to the city of Chang'an, how can I defeat Jieli's [-] cavalry?"

"I'm not old yet, don't persuade me any more!"

Li Shimin's long eyes stared, and everyone had to shut up.

"Huaiyu, give Gu a few thunderbolts in that palm, and Gu will use thunder to scare the ugly people!" Li Shimin saw Huaiyu coming in, and waved with a smile.

"Your Highness, the thunder in the palm explodes like a thunderbolt, and the horses are easily frightened when they attack melee at night. It's better to hand the thunder in the palm to the soldiers who lead the charge." Huaiyu said helplessly.

"Don't bother."

"The palm thunder has been handed over to Lord Yi, and I don't have it anymore."

"Yuan Shou, you and Huai Yu went to Duke Yi to ask for a hundred of them, and then I will ask Shenjifang to make up for it later."

Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to follow An Yuanshou to find Qin Qiong to borrow the palm thunder.

"Qianniu prepares himself for An Yuanshou. I have heard about Wu Erlang's miracles for a long time, but it is a pity that I did not see him. Today I finally got to see his demeanor. He is really majestic and dignified..."

An Yuanshou kept flattering all the way, his mouth was like smearing honey, this guy is indeed a Sogdian barbarian.Huaiyu had heard that Sogdian had given birth to a son, so he put a piece of stone honey in his mouth and smeared honey glue on his hand, in order to hope that the child would be able to talk sweetly when he grew up.

Sogdians are good at doing business, and after the age of 20, men have to travel far to do business. Being able to speak well is the basic skill of doing business.

"I've also heard about the great name of Wuwei An's family, the sixteen heroes of Wude, and the An's brothers occupy two seats exclusively. That is the unique name that shakes the world."

An Yuanshou is very young, only sixteen this year, and handsome, with a Caucasian appearance, a typical Persian style, black curly hair, a round beard, a high nose and deep eyes, and a pair of green eyeballs.

Even if he is now a sixth-rank thousand bull, he is still braided.

This guy had just entered Li Shimin's Prince Qin's mansion as a noble son of a famous family at the beginning of the year, and served as a low-level guard Kuzhen, but now he is a sixth-rank Qianniu. He went to garrison Jiatai Gate, but he didn't see any blood.

But the family is a duke of two countries, his father An Xinggui changed his title from Duke of Rong to Duke of Liang, and his uncle An Xiuren was named Duke of Shen. Both brothers are generals of the Weifu. What's more, their An family is in Liangzhou Wuwei, a powerful man in the world, has always been the armed self-governing leader of the Sogdian merchant group in Hexi, "Sabao".

When Li Tang was first established, An Xiuren served as minister under Li Gui in Hexi, but An Xinggui joined Li Yuan in Chang'an. Later, he took the initiative to ask Ying to return to Hexi alone. When it was destroyed, Li Gui, his father, son and brothers were captured and escorted to Chang'an, and offered to the Hexi states.

One person destroys a country, starting with An Xinggui.

It is precisely because of the merits of the An brothers, coupled with the strong influence of An in the Hexi Sogdian Group, that is the reason why An Yuanshou has reached the sixth rank at sixteen.

Even Li Shimin takes this handsome guy with him wherever he goes now.

An Xinggui served as the governor of Liangzhou at the beginning of Wude, and then Li Shimin held this official position concurrently. The An brothers belonged to Li Shimin. One guarded Hexi and the other was an official in the court. The brothers even sent An Yuanshou, the eldest son of the family, directly to the Prince Qin's mansion as Kuzhen, and he also loyally accepted the certificate of honor.

The An family is the biggest local snake in Liangzhou, and they are also the leaders of the Sogtehu in Zhaowu, Liangzhou, and the An family is also very rich.

Huaiyu has a good impression of this handsome guy who is very sweet when he opens his mouth. If he stretches out his hand and doesn't hit the smiling face, he will take the initiative to get acquainted with you, so there is no reason to refuse.

"When we met for the first time, I was in a hurry. I didn't bring any presents, so I gave Erlang this pocket knife." Seeing that Huaiyu was also very friendly, An Yuanshou immediately asked Huaiyu to be his elder brother, and even gave him a knife right away.

The knife was decorated with gold and silver and also inlaid with precious stones. When he pulled out the blade, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Damascus sword?"

"Erlang also knows about Damascus?"

An Yuanshou was even more surprised. People in the Tang Dynasty generally called the Damascus pattern knife the Uzi treasure knife, but Wu Huaiyu not only recognized this knife, but also called it by that name.

"I've heard it, I've heard it. I heard that this knife is not ordinary. A short knife like this is worth hundreds of pieces of silk. If it is a long knife, it will cost hundreds of pieces. It is said that a good knife, Is it worth several hundred taels of silver?"

An Yuanshou smiled and said, "Erlang is really insightful. This kind of pattern knife was forged by a Persian craftsman a long time ago. He bought Uzi steel ingots from Tianzhu. It was named for its unique pattern and sharpness. Later, we millet Special merchants sold the Uzi knife made by Persian merchants to Damascus, Syria, and made the world think that the knife was made in Damascus...

In Gaochang, Qiuci and other places in the Western Regions, a long knife with a Damascus pattern costs [-] Persian silver coins. "

In the Western Regions, the imitation Sassanian silver coins are mainly circulated. One silver coin can buy a bucket of highland barley, which can be exchanged for 32 coins of Tang Kaiyuan.

In this way, a long knife is worth [-] yuan, and a short knife is also worth tens of thousands.

And those exquisitely decorated, from the hands of famous craftsmen, are worth tens of thousands of silver coins, which can easily be a bloody horse.

"This small knife is worth a few young slaves. It's too expensive. I can't accept it." Huaiyu had heard the name of Damascus steel knife long ago, but there were too many fake ones in later generations.

"It's just a small knife. I'll visit brother's house in person someday. Then I'll pick some long knives and give them to brother."

Huaiyu declined.

"Brother, are you looking down on our Zhao Wuhu?"

"No no."

"It has been more than a hundred years since my ancestor, Prince Anxi, moved east to Hexi and settled in Liangzhou after his disaster. My grandfather was already the county magistrate of Guixiang in the Northern Zhou Dynasty..."

An Yuanshou is very young, but like Lu Huairang, he is very active towards Wu Huaiyu, "Since my brother doesn't dislike it, then I will give you the Uzi knife, and you can give me some medicine pills, fire salt, and fragrant soap in return."

"Your family's Qianjintang is very popular now. Every time my servants go shopping, they have to make reservations in advance. I bought some new products yesterday, Zhangzhou Baoyu fire salt bricks and snow grain salt, as well as the fragrant pancakes and noodles. Alkali is a good thing.”

An Yuanshou said that their An family also has some business, and they like the products of Qianjintang very much, and hope to cooperate with Wu Huaiyu in the future.

Huaiyu was very surprised when he heard this, and gave away a precious sword worth tens of thousands of dollars, just for this?

"Since Brother An likes a little side business at home, I'll just say hello to the shopkeeper."

The Sogdians in the Tang Dynasty are comparable to the Jews of later generations. Not only are they very wealthy and make money, and they operate trade on the Silk Road, but they have continuously migrated eastward for 200 years, and a large number of Sogdians have entered and established in many places. After entering the settlements, these people have a strong sense of autonomy, and even Datang is extremely polite to them now that they have unified the world.

And the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, the East and West Turks on the grassland, there are also a large number of Sogdian beards all over their place, and these people have all-hands and eyes.

Huaiyu is wary of them, but she is still willing to contact them and even cooperate with them.

The two found Qin Qiong and asked to borrow a hundred palm thunders.

Qin Qiong had no choice but to pull it out, and then repeatedly ordered the two of them to personally protect the prince's safety.

When they went back, Huaiyu and An Yuanshou were already very close as brothers.

It was getting darker and darker.

Everyone has started to wear armor, even Li Shimin has put on armor. It is not a golden armor, but a black battle-damaged Mingguang armor full of wear marks. It is quite plain and unpretentious, but it can be seen that this armor must be The materials are extraordinary.

Li Shimin holds a knife with a bow on his back.

He actually mentioned a Mo Dao instead of Ma Leng, but remembering that Li Shimin and Li Yuan were both very famous sharpshooters, Huai Yu felt that it was normal that he didn't use the Lagger like Yuan Ji.

After all, in Longyou, he had seen archers slashing people with knives, sticks, and long axes on the front line.

Datang's archers are all supernatural power monsters.

Willow head on the moon.

Li Shimin stepped on his horse and didn't wait any longer.

And Qin Qiong led his troops across the river first.

Tonight, destined to be a sleepless night, Huaiyu had four other palm thunders in his waist, and also carried a Mo knife in his hand, and An Yuanshou and An Yuanshou firmly protected Li Shimin from left to right.

But Zhang Shigui, Zhou Shaofan and the two generals of the Forbidden Army ran directly to the front.

Cross the river at night.

Not long after crossing the river, before seeing the Turkic camp, I heard the sound of killing from afar.

Qin Qiong's offensive was like fire, and he had already entered the Turkic camp. The two generals Li Mengchang and Gongsun Wuda who had been recharging their energy for a long time in Xianyang City had also been killed.

Li Shimin has been urging his horse to speed up. When they arrived, Qin Qiong and the others were already throwing palm mines and torches everywhere happily. The Turkic camp of 2 people was in chaos. After fighting seven battles, I was already exhausted.

In the evening, the guard had been stepped up, and I hoped that Jieli Dahan would come as promised after dawn, but it still didn't wait until dawn.

There were explosions everywhere, and flames everywhere.

Rockets set fire to the Turkic tents, and spears and sabers overthrew the Turkic vassals.

As soon as Li Shimin entered the enemy camp, Huaiyu and the others could no longer control him. He rushed wherever there were many people, and Huaiyu and the others had to follow closely.

Li Shimin was so brave, he even beheaded three enemy generals under the heavy protection of Huaiyu and the others. He even picked the leaders to kill, and ignored the soldiers.

Huaiyu followed the guards in fear, and Huaiyu and the others helped fight against the little miscellaneous Hu who Li Shimin despised.

"Your Highness, the Turkic Husbands have been defeated, they abandoned their camp and fled, Duke Yi has already led his troops to hunt them down, let's advance to Xianyang City."

Seeing that Li Shimin still wanted to continue chasing, Huaiyu quickly grabbed his horse rope.

At this time, Zhang Shigui, Zhou Shaofan, who had been leading the way for Li Shimin's charge, also came back, and they firmly disagreed with Li Shimin's continued pursuit.

"How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer? Duke Yi is out now, and none of these beards can escape. Your Highness should go to Xianyang City to rest first."

Li Shimin was a little bit unsatisfied. It can be seen that everyone is persuading him so hard, and seeing that the Turkic Husband has indeed collapsed, he had no choice but to shake the Mo Dao, "Forget it, go back to Xianyang City."

Before he left, he did not forget to tell Huaiyu and An Yuanshou, "Take the heads of the three Turkic thieves who Gu personally beheaded, and when Gu arrives, I will give them to Jie Li in person!"
