My wife is Wu Zetian

Tubo is preparing for war, and Jishishan is also actively training. After all, they are not just trying to defend this place, but want to advance into Tubo.

Su Dingfang is also a little happy these days. He is accompanied by beautiful women every day, and he has neglected military affairs.

"Why did the general suddenly become like this?"

Chen Qi glanced at Su Dingfang's tent, and sighed and said to Chen Hu.

"How do I know? It may be just like what the general said. The general is also a man and he also has needs.

Let's do whatever we have to do. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether there is a general or not. "

Chen Hu also scratched his head, who knew what Su Dingfang wanted to do.

After all, he was just a deputy general. Could he still kill all those women?

"Hey, that's the only way!"

Chen Qi shook his head and went directly to the school field to train the soldiers.

The war in Tubo had not yet begun, but trouble broke out in the Western Regions first.

Duman, a remnant of the Turks, received funding from Tubo and began to rapidly expand his power, and then contacted the three kingdoms of Shule, Zhu Jubo and Hepantuo to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.

Khotan was conquered in one fell swoop, and troops were sent to attack other small countries at the same time.

Li Zhi was also shocked when he heard the news of the rebellion in the Western Regions. Fortunately, he had the foresight to send Xue Rengui to the Western Regions in advance.

Otherwise, at this juncture of the war with Tubo, if there is another rebellion in the Western Regions, I will really be in a hurry.

Xue Rengui was indeed a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. After receiving the news, he immediately took action.

First, 10,000 elite infantry were selected, and then they were equipped with 3,000 elite cavalry to gallop and attack.

He ran three hundred miles day and night, and arrived ten miles west of Khotan before dawn.

Duman was frightened when he saw the soldiers and horses outside the city, so he could only lead his troops to fight hurriedly outside the city gate, but Xue Li took the lead and defeated them directly.

Duman was defeated and had no choice but to flee with his troops. Xue Rengui ignored him and sent his troops to follow and attack, directly killing him under the city.

"General, they are huddled in the city. If our soldiers and horses alone want to take this city, we may suffer a lot of casualties."

Lieutenant General Cui He glanced at Xue Rengui. To be honest, he looked down on him.

Unexpectedly, the opponent was so brave. Not only did he lead his army to charge for three hundred miles, but he also took the lead when the battle came.

Now he is somewhat convinced.

"If you want to take the city, I, the general, don't have to waste a single soldier!"

Xue Rengui smiled, looking at the city in front of him with disdain in his eyes.

"General? Do you have any clever ideas?"

Cui He glanced at Xue Rengui, wondering what the airborne pacifier wanted.

"Do you think Duman is afraid of death?"

Xue Rengui looked at the city in front of him with a smile on his lips.

"I must be afraid of death. How can anyone not be afraid of death?"

Cui He was stunned for a moment, wondering what Xue Rengui meant by saying this.

"That's enough. Immediately send troops to surround the city, then cut down the wood to make siege equipment, and line up under the city to create a situation where the army is pressing down. How do you think Naduman will feel then?"

After Xue Rengui finished speaking, Cui He was also stunned.

Wouldn't it be a bluff to do so now? Is this Duman really scared?

After all, he is an old man who has been on the battlefield for a long time. Will he accept your tricks?

"I know you are doubting that Duman will not be frightened, but won't we find out if we try?"

Xue Rengui knew that Cui He didn't believe it, but he believed it firmly.

As long as Duman is afraid of death, he will definitely surrender when the time comes.

"Here!"

Xue Rengui's order was soon passed to the army, and these soldiers also acted in accordance with the order, building siege equipment and preparing to attack by force.

When Duman saw this, just as Xue Rengui thought, he was frightened to death.

He knew that if the opponent insisted on attacking the city, he would die in battle.

But until now, he still hadn't figured out why the Tang army came so quickly. Su Dingfang had been there before and almost killed them.

Why is it that Su Dingfang is gone and there is still such a tough general?

This Tang Dynasty is really full of talents, and they are not comparable to them.

At this moment, he also regretted it. He was also blinded by lard, so why did he want to help the Tubo people?

What a fool, a pure fool.

"I am Xue Li, the pacifier of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. Where is Duman? Come out and speak!"

Xue Rengui was wearing silver armor, riding a white horse, and standing under the city wall holding a silver spear.

"I am Duman, what do you want to do?"

Duman emerged from the top of the city and looked at Xue Rengui below the city, feeling a little frightened.

After all, the other party's killing gesture just now was simply too terrifying, even worse than Su Dingfang's.

"What do I want to do? Duman, you have no escape now.

Now that Kaicheng surrenders, I can put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty and protect you from death. "

Xue Rengui raised his head and glanced at Duman on the city wall, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

If he hadn't been killing people in Goguryeo, he didn't expect to be transferred to the Western Regions because of them.

If he hadn't been able to lose too many troops now, he wouldn't have spared the opponent no matter what.

Besides, a living Duman is much more valuable than a dead Duman. The emperor will definitely be happy if he can capture the prisoners and take them back.

"Spare my life? You put it lightly. I know that the crimes I have committed will definitely not be forgiven.

You are just a little comforter, how can you make the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty spare my life? ” ˆ ˆ Duman sneered, are you trying to deceive a three-year-old child with your special words?

Spare my life? You really open your mouth and talk nonsense.

"is it?"

After Xue Rengui heard this, he took off the bow on his horse and shot like lightning. A feather arrow spanned the space and nailed the feather on the opponent's helmet to the city wall.

"What do you want to do?"

This scared Duman to death. He huddled inside the city wall and shouted at Xue Rengui.

"What do I want to do? I just want to tell you that if I can protect you, I can kill you.

Surrender now, with me as guarantee, and you may survive.

But if you don't surrender, when the city is breached, not only you, but also all of your men will be killed. "

Xue Rengui hung the bow on the side of the horse again and shouted at Duman.

"I"

Duman was really panicked now. Looking at the soldiers around him, he was also filled with despair.

It is simply wishful thinking for such soldiers to resist the wolf-like and tiger-like Tang army.

"Capital, surrender!"

"That's right, if you don't surrender now, everyone will die!"

"We can't resist each other at all! Surrender!"

A group of Turkic soldiers also looked at Duman. As the saying goes, everyone is afraid of death, and they did not want to follow each other to death.

"Hey, surrender in Kaicheng!"

Duman also sighed. Now that the enemy had surrounded the city wall, he had no chance of escaping.

There were only two paths before him at this moment. One was to defend the city vigorously and die in battle.

The second is to listen to Xue Rengui and surrender in Kaicheng. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope of survival.

"Yes!"

After hearing Duman's words, the soldiers were all excited and raised the white flag directly on top of the city.

"General, they raised the white flag and they are surrendering."

Cui He glanced at Xue Rengui beside him and was a little shocked.

The opponent is really amazing. If they say they don't waste a single soldier, they won't waste a single soldier.

Awesome, really awesome.

"This is all expected, get ready to enter the city!"

Xue Rengui also smiled slightly and ordered the soldiers to prepare to enter the city.

"Here!"

"Get ready for the city!"

When the city gate opened, Xue Rengui entered the city immediately, and all the Turkic soldiers and Duman in the city knelt on the ground and were captured without mercy.

"General, you have done a great job by capturing these people. Once the rebellion in the Western Region is quelled, Your Majesty will definitely reward them heavily."

After taking down Duman and the Turkic troops in the city, Cui He also came to Xue Rengui's side.

"The reward may not be available. After all, this pacifier promised Duman to save his life.

This credit was given by Duman, so exchanging this credit for his life was not bad. "

As a man, Xue Rengui naturally has to do what he says.

After all, he promised the other party to save his life, so he must do it no matter what.

Compared with credit, one's reputation is more important.

"General, it's righteous, but it's a bit of a loss to give up such great achievements for a mere Duman."

Cui He couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that Xue Rengui wanted to use his contribution to pacifying the Western Regions in exchange for Duman's life.

"Whether it is a loss or a gain, this pacifier will make his own decision. The key for us now is to seize the time to put down the rebellion in the Western Region.

Datang is now preparing for a decisive battle with Tubo, and the Western Regions cannot delay for too long. "

Xue Rengui frowned. The current situation is not a matter of merit, but a matter of the entire Tang Dynasty.

If the Western Regions cannot be pacified as soon as possible, then the Tang Dynasty will not be able to deal with Tubo with all its strength. If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Here!"

Soon the soldiers and horses in the city were divided into several groups and began to attack the rebellious countries.

While Datang was preparing for war, the second fleet arranged by Li Yanran also set sail.

This time Li Daosan was also fully prepared. More than 20 ships, larger than the original ones, just crossed the vast sea and rushed towards the Japanese country.

Li Daosan looked at the ship behind him, his eyes full of excitement.

Such a scale and such a ship can be regarded as unique in the entire Tang Dynasty, except for the navy.

Finally, they docked outside Hakata Port again, and the merchants who saw the fleet arriving at Hakata Port reacted immediately.

Including Murakami Sato, the Japanese businessmen also came to meet Li Daosan on their own ships.

With so many competitors this time, Murakami Satoki was unable to monopolize these goods. In the end, several companies could only bid and then share the goods brought by Li Daosan equally.

After bidding farewell to these businessmen, the spies originally arranged by Li Daosan in the Japanese country also rushed back.

After summarizing the information they collected, he also arranged for people to buy Japanese specialties.

When everything was ready, we raised the sails again and left Hakata Port to return to our hometown of Tang Dynasty.

Just after they left, some ships also left the Japanese land and chased Li Daosan and the others.

"Surveyor, there seems to be a tail behind us!"
