Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 319 A charlatan from the Tang Dynasty? A divine messenger!
Thirty miles north of Yiwulu.

A small tribe with hundreds of Turkic families gathered welcomed several outsiders.

The people of the small tribe did not welcome outsiders. The leader Gercha immediately led 38 warriors in the tribe, armed with bows and sabers, and surrounded them.

"God is above."

"Finally I found my people."

The white wolf took a deep breath and prayed to God.

Gercha frowned and looked at the five people in White Wolf's group. They were all covered in dust, as if they had come from a long journey.

"Who are you and why did you come to our tribe?"

"Dear leader, I am the White Wolf from the Tang Dynasty. I have Turkic blood. I returned to the Turks because I felt the call of the gods."

"...?"

Gercha and the others all frowned and looked at the white wolf.

The White Wolf has Turkic blood, which can be roughly distinguished from its appearance.

However, Gercha and others were full of doubts about whether the white wolf was summoned by the gods.

"The gods told me that the Turks will face an unprecedented crisis!"

"At that time, the sky collapsed, the earth split, and blood flowed like a river!"

"Countless people screamed and begged for help, but no one offered a helping hand!"

"As a descendant of the Turks, I, Bailang, should shoulder the responsibility of informing the millions of Turkic people and protecting them from this crisis!"

Faced with White Wolf's eloquent talk, Gercha and others became even more confused.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Is the crisis you are talking about a war against Yiwu and Yanqi?"

However, his words were quickly denied by his companions, "The Khan has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. How can small countries like Yiwu and Yanqi be a match for the Khan?"

"No, you are wrong."

White Wolf shook his head. "Our crisis does not come from outside, but from within."

"internal?"

Gercha and others couldn't help but laugh.

Yugusa Khan was unstoppable. He destroyed Nan Ting and defeated Tokharistan, becoming the most powerful person at that time.

I wonder if there is any tribe that dares to disrespect the Khan?

"It's ridiculous!"

"Chief, I think this guy is a charlatan, why not cut him into a charlatan!"

"Chas is right, Chief, cut them into shamans!"

In response to the tribesmen's proposal, Gercha nodded, and several tribesmen stepped forward with sabers.

The white wolf sighed and looked up at the sky, "God, my people don't believe me, please show me a way out!"

Gercha crossed his arms and said, "You charlatan from the Tang Dynasty, you didn't really deceive yourself, did you?"

"God, how could I reply to you..."

Boom!

A roar like thunder sounded behind the white wolf, and dust flew up.

Gercha and others were stunned for a moment.

They only felt their ears buzzing. Behind them, there were countless restless horses and sheep that were frightened and kept neighing.

Is the God angry?

Could he really communicate with the gods?
This……

impossible?

"God, I understand!"

White Wolf took a deep breath and said, "Respected leader, the gods said that you don't trust me, so I can only beat you until you believe me."

As Bai Lang's voice fell, the four people behind him drew out their swords and watched coldly.

Gercha: “???”

Chas came closer and whispered, "Chief, was it really the gods who were angry just now?"

Gerza pondered and said, "What god summoned you?"

"It is the great and impartial God of Thunder!"

"The God of Thunder?"

Gercha and others were stunned.

Bai Lang: "That is the Thunder God that people in the Tang Dynasty often talk about."

Gelza shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I still find it hard to believe you!"

"God bless you!"

White Wolf raised his right hand, a ray of electricity flashed at his fingertips, emitting flickering sparks, "Those of you who disrespect the gods shall be killed!"

"kill!"

The four men behind Bai Lang raised their swords and shouted.

The four men approached Gercha step by step with expressionless faces, like puppets.

"and many more!"

"and many more!"

Gercha and the others changed color instantly and fell to their knees.

"God, please forgive me for being blind and misunderstood the messenger of God."

"Do you believe it now?"

White Wolf was a little surprised.

Gercha said respectfully: "Your Excellency, the envoy of God, I have seen the respected Khan from afar outside the Khan's tent."

White Wolf frowned.

Gerza continued, "I have seen shamans from various tribes before, but the abilities you use are obviously different from theirs."

Bai Lang said proudly: "The Thunder God is the main attacker. Otherwise, why would he arrange for me to come here?"

"But the merchants from the west once said that the 30,000-strong army of the Arab Empire was defeated by the Persian Empire because of the new weapons of the Tang Dynasty, which were as powerful as thunder."

"..."

The corner of Bailang's mouth twitched. He now understood why these people were relatively calm after hearing the explosion.

"But when I saw the lightning on your finger, I knew that you, the envoy of God, were definitely not a charlatan."

The explosion, like thunder, could be explained by the new weapons of the Tang Dynasty, but Bailang was a human being, how could he possibly control lightning?

That is not a power that humans can control!

"I see."

White Wolf looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and said slowly, "How can the weapons of the human world be compared with those of the gods?"

Gercha said respectfully, "Your Excellency the Divine Envoy is right."

"Please, Lord God's messenger, follow me into the tent to discuss in detail."

"Chas, kill the sheep and prepare the wine!"

"Yes!"

Chas immediately took his men away.

Gercha said with a big smile on his face: "Your Excellency the Envoy of God, you have come at the right time. If it were two days later, we would have moved away from here."

"Why?"

Bai Lang frowned and said, "The Khan's army will soon attack Yiwulu. Why are you leaving now?"

Gercha: "Your Excellency, the Divine Envoy, you don't know that Yiwulu is just a small country. The Khan has hundreds of thousands of soldiers under his command. How could he care about such a small country like Yiwulu?"

"We can destroy the country by just sending out a group of soldiers. Why go to all that trouble?"

"We have to leave here because the weather is getting colder and the rivers are frozen. We need to get closer to larger tribes to seek ways to make a living."

White Wolf was very surprised. Although Gercha was only the leader of a small tribe, he knew a lot.

We can get some useful information out of him!

……

Yumen Pass.

An important pass leading westward to the Tang Dynasty.

At the foot of the city gate, Cui Zhengjun, the commander of Yumen Pass, had already been waiting there with hundreds of civil and military officials.

From a distance, one could see a large Tang-character flag fluttering in the wind, followed by Xue Wanche's flag.

Twenty thousand troops arrived at Yumen Pass.

"I am Cui Zhengjun, and I am here to see General Xue!"

"General Cui, please stand up."

Xue Wanche got off his horse, smiled and helped Cui Zhengjun up, "It's been several years since we last met in Chang'an."

Cui Zhengjun nodded, "The general has a good memory."

"As soon as I learned of the Crown Prince's order, I immediately prepared food and supplies, and was ready for the army to march out of the border."

"I have learned that the general and his men have arrived at Yumen Pass today. I have prepared a banquet for the general. Please follow me."

"Thank you."

Xue Wanche nodded, followed Cui Zhengjun, and walked into Yumen Pass.

Simultaneously.

The civil and military officials behind Cui Zhengjun warmly greeted the army entering the city.

"Is it Mr. Su sitting in the carriage?"

"nature."

Sun Qiang nodded.

The civil servant smiled and said, "Mr. Su, my general has prepared some wine. Please go to the general's mansion and join us for the banquet."

"it is good."

Su Chen's voice came from inside the carriage.

The carriage slowly arrived outside the general's mansion, and Su Chen lifted the curtain and got out.

hiss.

Really cold.

Su Chen tightened his clothes.

"Mr. Su, please."

"lead the way."

Su Chen nodded and followed the guards into the general's mansion.

"Brother Su..."

"Mr. Su."

"Are you here too?"

Su Chen looked over and greeted Li Jingheng and others with a smile.

Li Jingheng: "Maybe it's because of our father."

Yuchi Baolin: "It won't be the case when we get back!"

Cheng Chumo grinned and said, "Why do you care so much? It's so cold, why don't you go in and have a drink to warm yourself up?"

Li Chongyi: “That’s right.”

Several people came to the table and sat down, talking and laughing.

Cui Zhengjun frowned, took a look, then ignored it and continued talking with Xue Wanche.

Xue Wanche smiled and raised his hand, beckoning to Su Chen, "Mr. Su, sit here."

Cui Zhengjun did not stop him, but just looked over calmly.

"Brother Su, the general is calling you."

"Then you guys pay attention."

Su Chen reminded with a smile, and at Xue Wanche's gesture, sat next to him.

Xue Wanche introduced with a smile: "Dezhen, I think you are familiar with this Mr. Su, right?"

Cui Zhengjun nodded, "Su Chen, the favorite of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Xue Wanche smiled and said, "He is an advisor to the army this time."

Cui Zhengjun seemed to be thinking about something. "Mr. Su, please don't blame me for being so rude just now."

Su Chen smiled and said, "General Cui, you are too kind."

Xue Wanche said meaningfully: "Dezhen is a rare warrior in the Cui family. Mr. Su should have a few more drinks with Dezhen later."

"sure."

The banquet begins.

Although there were many civil servants present, their alcohol tolerance was just as good as that of the military generals.

Firstly, it was the custom of the Tang Dynasty. Secondly, it was because they were guarding the border, and the weather was freezing cold, so drinking alcohol could keep away the cold.

During this period, Xue Wanche tried to mediate many times, but Cui Zhengjun's attitude towards Su Chen remained lukewarm.

Su Chen was not surprised by this.

The Cui family had been bullied by him twice, so Su Chen would be surprised if Cui Zhengjun could still greet him warmly.

As the banquet ended, everyone dispersed, leaving only Su Chen and the other two. Only then did Cui Zhengjun talk about military affairs.

"According to the report from the scouts I sent out, Yu Gushe's army did not gather towards Yiwu, but instead headed towards Tingzhou."

Cui Zhengjun gave his own opinion, "In my opinion, Yugu's plan to take over Yiwu was a fake, and to take over Yanqi was the real plan!"

Xue Wanche pondered and said, "Yanqi is located in the middle section of the Silk Road, connecting Tingzhou Changji in the north and Loulan Ruoqiang in the south."

"If Yu Gushe controls Yanqi and Yuli, the Silk Road will be in his hands."

"I think Yu Gushe should first take Changji and Tingzhou, then Yanqi and Yuli, and then Yiwu will be in his pocket."

Cui Zhengjun nodded and said, "Yes, with the troops under Yugu's command, the power of Tingzhou, Yanqi, and Yuli can't stop it at all."

"Besides, Gaochang intends to advance westwards and attack from both sides with the Turks. I'm afraid Yanqi Yuli will not be able to hold out for three days under the siege of the Turkic army."

"General, you can go directly from Loulan to Yuli Yanqi."

Xue Wanche pondered and turned his gaze to Su Chen, "What do you think, Mr. Su?"

Su Chen said with a smile: "I know nothing about military affairs. If the general asks me about this, isn't it like talking to a cow?"

Cui Zhengjun smiled, but Xue Wanche shook his head. "Let's gather ideas. Mr. Su, please feel free to speak."

Su Chen pondered for a moment, "Tingzhou and Gaochang are connected by the Silk Road. Now Gaochang is conspiring with the Turks. Yu Gushe must take Tingzhou first."

"Once he takes Tingzhou, his army can march straight in and occupy Gaochang with a strong force to block our progress, so that we have enough time to take Yanqi and Yuli."

Xue Wanche smiled and nodded, and Cui Zhengjun looked at Su Chen twice with some surprise.

"Has General Cui sent anyone to Gaochang to investigate?"

"I went, but when I was near Gaochang, I was chased and killed by Gaochang's scouts."

A trace of murderous intent flashed across Cui Zhengjun's face. "A small country with only 30,000 people actually dared to hunt down my scouts. If it weren't for my duty, I would have led the army to destroy Qu Wentai!"

Su Chen: "..."

Good guy.

As expected of a brave general guarding Yumen Pass, he started a war to annihilate a country as soon as he opened his mouth.

Su Chen continued: "If that's the case, I think the Turkic army may attack Tingzhou."

"Why?"

"Gaochang is disrupting our view, obviously not wanting us to know the specific situation in his country. If the Turks really took over Tingzhou and sent their army to station there, why would they do this?"

"It makes sense."

Xue Wanche smiled and nodded, "Mr. Su, what do you think of us heading west to Gaochang?"

Su Chen: "I think it's safer to go to Loulan."

Xue Wanche and the other man raised their eyebrows.

Now we can roughly infer that there was no Turkic army in Gaochang, so why did they go to Loulan?
"why?"

"curious."

"..."

Facing the speechless Xue Wanche and the other man, Su Chen smiled and said, "Didn't the general say that you can speak freely?"

Xue Wanche shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze to Cui Zhengjun, "Please ask Dezhen to arrange some scouts to go to Gaochang to get more information."

Hear the words.

Cui Zhengjun understood Xue Wanche’s meaning and decided to leave Gaochang and go to Yanqi!
"it is good!"
