The Unjust System and My War-Crazy Self

Page 227

Although Baoyi Khan also knew that he would most likely not get the justice he wanted.

After all, explosive news one after another is constantly coming from the west.

Tingzhou, Yizhou, Shazhou, Guazhou——

One after another

The states and counties are raising the flag of the Tang Dynasty again.

In the past, in the land of Hexi, the mighty Tumo army suffered a series of crushing defeats, and even the fate of the great warrior of the country, the Wrath of the Wind, was unknown.

It was only a matter of time before the Tang Dynasty reopened the Western Regions.

Such a shocking achievement would surely make the Tang Dynasty attach great importance to the Anxi Army. Even if his brother was killed by the Anxi Army, it would be impossible for him to ask the Anxi Grand Protector to pay for his life.

As for raising an army to avenge his brother?

Well, although Baoyi Khan was angry, he was actually still very rational.

As for the strong combat capability currently displayed by the Anxi Army...

He couldn't do something like lighting a lantern in a toilet.

Therefore, Baoyi Khan was very pragmatic and changed his goal to asking for more compensation.

Tian Khan, look, that’s my blood brother.

My dearest relative was brutally murdered by the Anxi Army. Could it be that you, Heavenly Khan, just watched and remained indifferent?

Whose family doesn’t have relatives, who doesn’t have brothers?

Khan, can't you understand the pain that goes deep into your bones?

and so……

You have to pay more!

As long as Emperor Xianzong of Tang was willing to reward him with more money and scold Shu Yichao a few times, Baoyi Khan would feel that he had a way out.

Baoyi Khan thought that he could put this matter aside for the time being.

But it’s a pity——

The messenger he sent out had an expression of disbelief on his face.

"The Khan said he knew."

"..."

"What does this mean!?" Baoyi Khan's nose was almost crooked with anger.

His letters were very eloquent and contained a lot of content.

Did you reply that you have read it?

What else can I reply to if I don’t reply to the message I’ve read?

Some people in the Tang court also questioned whether this way of responding was not a good idea.

But Emperor Xianzong of Tang could only say helplessly that this matter really had to be delayed.

According to reports, after the Tang army launched the attack, the Anxi army also responded in the west.

The Tumo Empire was caught in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

Coupled with the major victory they had just achieved, it was entirely possible for the Tang Army and the Anxi Army to recapture Hexi in one fell swoop and reopen the Western Regions.

In that case, the territory of the Tang Dynasty could almost be restored to its state during the Kaiyuan period.

What a great achievement!

What a great political achievement!

How could Emperor Xianzong of Tang, who took Emperor Taizong as his role model, resist such temptation?

From this moment on, everything must give way to the recovery of Hexi!

Punish the Anxi Army at this critical juncture?

I can only say that Huihu's Baoyi Khan has a very rich imagination.

Besides, it's obvious at a glance that you guys are the ones hitting a brick wall, okay?

As for pacifying Huihu...

No Money.

The Tang army's front-line troops are now a complete money-eating beast. Of course, any money they have must be used as military expenses first.

Where is the extra money to feed Huihu, who always has a big appetite?

and so……

Drag it.

Soon, Baoyi Khan also figured it out.

Immediately, he was furious—

Good man, I didn’t even make a fuss about my own brother’s death, I just wanted some money.

As a result, the Khan didn't even give him this little bit of face!

You are shameless even though I gave you face.

Baoyi Khan immediately began to think about how to retaliate.

As for how to retaliate...

Baoyi Khan was in a dilemma.

Send troops to plunder the border?

Now, none of the vassal states on the border of the Tang Dynasty are easy to deal with.

If I fail to win, it would be a huge embarrassment.

Fortunately, at this time, someone came to assist.

"Khan, I remember the Tang court sent a troop to escort a certain monk to the Western Regions to deliver an edict to the Anxi Protectorate."

"Is it possible to do something about this?"

"Yes." Baoyi Khan became excited after hearing his subordinates' reminder.

"Inform me of the tribes, towns—"

"Find the Tang court's envoys immediately and arrest them!"

Chapter 220-My Reward?

Yumen Pass.

"Why should the Qiang flute blame the willows? The spring breeze doesn't reach Yumen Pass."

Shu Yichao, with his majestic warrior terracotta warriors, rushed towards the famous pass with great momentum.

After capturing the sandbar, Shu Yichao did not stop for a moment. He immediately swept the surrounding towns according to the instructions, quickly captured Guazhou, and then rushed to Yumen Pass.

And obviously, among all the terrifying and absurd rumors, there were only a few Tumo troops guarding Yumen Pass.

They had neither the will nor the ability to fight back against the vast Anxi Undead Army.

Shu Yichao hasn't arrived yet.

They fled completely, leaving behind an empty pass.

This important checkpoint on the road to the Western Regions fell into Shu Yichao's hands without bloodshed.

then……

It was here that Shu Yichao met a group of unexpected people.

"Grand Protector of Anxi." Master Puxuan clasped his hands together and saluted Shu Yichao with scars all over his body.

"Master Puxuan, you're back from Chang'an!? Wait, who are these people——"

Miya Zola recognized that there were several people around Master Puxuan who were dressed very unusually.

"Could it be——"

"Yes." Master Puxuan nodded slightly.

"They are all angels."

Master Puxuan and his group originally planned to take the Huihu route, make a big circle and then head to Anxi.

As a result, they were suddenly attacked by the Huihu Army when they were halfway there. Caught off guard, the members of the delegation were either killed in battle or captured alive.

Only Master Puxuan and a dozen others managed to escape successfully, and finally arrived at the deserted Yumen Pass.

Then, before they could figure out what was going on, they discovered that a huge army of undead was approaching the pass.

"Shu Yichao received the order—"

After confirming Shu Yichao's identity, the messengers quickly took out the imperial edict, cleared their throats, and prepared to announce it.

Although all the property was lost, they still kept the imperial edict.

"Go ahead." Shu Yichao nodded.

"What reward was given?"

“…” The messengers were all choked for a moment.

No, Anxi Protector-General, although your establishment has made an unprecedented contribution.

But can you please have a little respect for us?

How could a person receive an imperial edict while riding on a lion and not get off to kneel down and express gratitude?

Instead, he asked directly what the reason for the reward was.

Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?

Some of the messengers immediately wanted to attack.

However, he was stopped by the mastermind.

"Why?" The messengers didn't understand.

Then, they saw the master gently pointing at the undead army whose end they could not see clearly until now.

“…” They suddenly understood and said nothing.

After pacifying his colleagues, the chief emissary began to read out the rewards that Emperor Xianzong of Tang had given to Shu Yichao and the Anxi Army.

Then, Shu Yichao interrupted him again.

"Where's the stuff?"

"Can't you just give me the reward?"

"A bunch of nonsense—"

"Where is the Buddha bone?"

“…” The mastermind hesitated for a moment and then told the whole story.

Shu Yichao was angry.

"Be bold!"

"How dare you steal my equipment!?"

"It seems like everyone is getting tired of living!"

He immediately changed the direction of the army's attack -

Tumu Empire
