Chapter 873 Undead Knight(1/3)
The icebergs in the distance can vaguely see some outlines, and even feel a hint of ice. The eyes go down, and the grass and trees are everywhere.
Hundreds of riders slowly climbed a high slope, lowering their heads slightly...
"Plain!"
Cao Yingxiong said happily: "This place is so beautiful."
The first thing that came into view was the green grass. The grassland was dotted with many trees, and there were forests. The colorful wild flowers were here and there... The river water bent and hovered on the grassland was quietly unmoved in these beautiful scenery.
Li Jingye took a look and said, "Born, brother, it's only more than 30 miles away from Shule Town. Let's work harder and we will definitely arrive before sunset today."
“There are beauties and delicious food in the city, right?”
Jia Ping'an has been immersed in this beautiful scenery.
Li Jingye said with confidence: "Isn't being a human being just about eating and sleeping? Brother, you are addicted to those calculations all day long, are you tired? Last time I heard Mr. Sun say that thinking too much can make men depressed... Depressed brother, aren't you worried that you can only sit and watch beauty in the future, and you have the heart but not enough strength?"
Jia Ping'an frowned and looked at him, "Get out! Take people to prepare for food."
Seeing that he looked bad, Li Jingye got out of here.
"Go down!"
Jia Ping'an rode his horse and rushed down the high slope first.
The movement of hundreds of war horses galloping was too loud, and a few wild birds flew up.
When he got down, Jia Ping'an dismounted and gently patted Abao's back, "Stay a good rest."
Abao rubbed his head in his arms for a moment, then went to look for delicious food.
Cao Yingxiong's horse came over to show his attention and was slow to go. Abao left his head disdainfully, but the horse was unwilling to accept it and frequently disturbed Abao's food.
Abao grinned and took a bite at the horse.
Yilulu!
The horse fled back to Cao Yingxiong.
Abao was eating grass leisurely and contentment, Jia Ping'an sat on the grass, and some soldiers in front were burying pots to make rice.
Bao Dong walked over, "Duke Jiajun, the brothers of Baiqi are here."
A man dressed in a civilian came over and said after saluting, "After the army conquered, Shule was quite shocking. Now the captain Han Zong is identifying those rebellious... many people are cleared, and some are absconding."
Su Dingfang used the method he was best at quelling the rebellion. Although this rebellion was led by the Turkic Duman, Shule and others were easily persuaded, which surprised Chang'an and was shocked.
This is what the so-called surrender and rebellion means. If this continues to happen in the future, the Tang Dynasty will be exhausted and even powerless...
This is also why Li Zhi attached great importance to it and asked Jia Ping'an to come to Shule.
Why did Shule's small country surrender and rebel again?
It can be seen that the Tang Dynasty's rule on this land is still unstable, and both Tubos and Turks can be disturbed.
During the former Han Dynasty, Ban Chao was ordered to leave the Western Regions for 31 years. He was over 70 years old and walked into Yumen Pass again and returned to Luoyang. After that, Shule was under the control of the Han Dynasty.
When the former Han Dynasty was destroyed, Shule became an orphan from then on. Looking around, he was shocked to find countless wild wolves... They desperately surrendered to the separatist forces in the Central Plains, just seeking protection.
Jia Ping'an was thinking about his plan for this trip.
"Don't you be content with peace?" Jia Ping'an sneered: "You go back so you can pass the news that I'm about to arrive in Shule Town. I want to see who dares to take action!"
"Receive the order!" Baiqi's eyes were respectful and then got on the horse and left.
A soldier asked, "Baiqi looks like an ordinary person, but he is cold. Why does he respect Jia County Duke so much?"
His companion said: "Mr. Jia Jun was in charge of hundreds of cavalry back then, and many of them were trained by him."
That night, Jia Ping'an led his army to camp ten miles away from Shule Town.
The night sky in Shule is beautiful, with stars and no trace of pollution is seen.
"Brother."
Cao Yingxiong is here.
This time he volunteered... He felt that it was good to be by the prince's side, but he was very quiet and thought about moving, and wanted to come out to see the world.
"Camping outside the city... those Turks and Tubo people will not stop!"
Today, the secret spies from the Hundred Cavalry said a lot... For example, those Tubo people and Turks were not calm, especially the Turks, who were staring at Shule.
The territory of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions was expanding, and Tochar and other countries sent envoys to express their loyalty, but the westernmost end of the Western Regions actually controlled by the Tang Dynasty was Shule.
Jia Ping'an glanced at the left, "There is the Pamir Mountains over there, Lu Dongzan is hiding there, his eyes are full of greedy green light, and he is waiting for the opportunity to appear and fight out of the Pamir Mountains and sweep across the Western Regions. On the right, the Turks are still unwilling to give up. The Eastern Turks are destroyed, but the Western Turks are constantly rising. Ashina Helu is like a hare with super reproductive ability... Now he is drooling towards the Western Regions on the right..."
This is the current situation in the Western Regions. Later, the great cannibals will begin to erode and will have a destiny battle with the Tang Dynasty.
Battle of Talas!
The expansion speed of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions will certainly be far beyond history. Although it will not expand uncontrollably, when the Tang Dynasty turns the four towns of Anxi into its own bridgehead, it will immediately guide Tocharo and other places. When those places become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the cannibals will turn...
The Battle of Talas was decades later, but Jia Ping'an knew that the situation had changed, and this battle could not be said to happen at any time.
The Dashi will undergo major changes from this year and will enter a period of rapid expansion... Start a full-scale attack from any direction that can be conquered. Attack Byzantium, attack Tianzhu, and go to the grassland... Finally, it encountered the Tang Dynasty, and then the two most powerful countries in the world went to war.
Jia Ping'an couldn't help but tremble all over.
bring it on.
He thought of the Battle of Talas, where the Tang Dynasty fought with less and more. If it weren't for the internal servants' rebellion, what would have happened?
"Brother?"
Cao Yingxiong felt that his condition was wrong.
"I'm fine."
There was some movement on the left, and you could hear the sound of horse hooves.
Bao Dong and Lei Hong appeared on the side of Jia Ping'an at some point, staring at the front with bright eyes.
Xu Xiaoyu held a knife behind Jia Ping'an and looked around.
“No need to be nervous.”
Jia Ping'an said lightly: "I have 300 cavalry in my hand. Here is only ten miles away from Shule Town. Who can stop me in this world? Lu Dongzan is not here. Let the brothers continue to sleep."
Bao Dong whispered, "Mr. Jia Jun, I'm afraid that the Turkic small thighs will suddenly appear..."
"That's just a good time to warm up the brothers."
Jia Ping'an turned around and went back, "Sleep."
When he got to the tent, he had just lie down and someone outside said, "Mr. Jia, my brothers caught up with those people and captured one alive. After careful examination, they must be Tubo people."
Jia Ping'an got up and sat cross-legged, "Torturing on the spot is more tragic."
He sneered: "I want to make those people frightened. In addition, little fish!"
"exist!"
Xu Xiaoyu answered outside.
Jia Ping'an's lips pursed slightly, "I'm sure those thieves are still close, so you can take some brothers and touch them quietly."
More than a mile outside the camp, dozens of riders were on the side to guard the enemy, and two hundred riders were tortured.
"ah……"
The prisoner's screams ran far away in the quiet night, and even the insects stopped chirping around.
"ah……"
In the distance, several riders turned around and listened to the screams coming, and couldn't help but feel silent.
"They said that Jia Ping'an was like traveling around the country and was relaxed... so he sent us to investigate, but he didn't expect that it was loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He was discovered just after a glance..."
"This man was cruel and burned 100,000 people to death with a fire, destroying the Three Kingdoms of Liaodong. When the news came back, it was reported that the great prime minister had lost his composure and knocked over the silver bowl..."
"Without the restraint of Liaodong, the Tang Dynasty can do its best to deal with us."
Thinking of the consequences of the Tang Dynasty, a giant, fighting against Tubo with all his might, everyone couldn't help but be silent again.
"Don't worry." A man smiled and said, "For the Tang people, Tubo is too high. If they dare to go up, most of them will be killed or injured without us taking action."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh relaxed.
"Yes! We have God's favor."
When attacking, it pours from a high place and defends... Why do you need to defend? The high ground is naturally the line of defense. The enemy is defeated by the climate before it touches the essence of Tubo.
"Why don't he keep his mouth shut?"
The man looked at the direction of the camp gloomy, "He did it on purpose, this person was vicious. Look, he actually dared to light a fire in the camp. This is unscrupulous..."
The army camps must not raise fires, that is, they must not make light. If you have urgent matters, you want to read documents or something and need a light source, you must ask for instructions first...
The Tang army camp raised fire so unscrupulously, just provoking: Come on! Come on and attack me.
"Our people are behind, if..." A man was a little eager to try.
"That's Jia Ping'an. If we go to the night attack, do you think he will wait honestly? If there is no trap, I will cut the head and kick it to you."
To be continued...
