No matter how well Liu was in upbringing, his face became gloomy.

Yang Dayan was the most powerful general of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. He did not refer to military talent, but to his personal courage. A tiger appeared in his jurisdiction to hurt people. After hearing this, Yang Dayan rolled up his sleeves and punched him naked. After a meat battle, he beat the tiger to death. Yang Dayan forced it to the downtown area, and then cut off the tiger's head with one knife, resulting in its life. Compared with him, Wu Song was not as good as a side dish.

It was originally a saying of praise, but it would be wrong to praise Liu.

Yang Dayan was powerful, and his wife Pan was also powerful. She was skilled in martial arts and was good at riding and shooting. The couple often fought side by side with each other. The soldiers of the Wei army called her General Pan. General Pan not only had high military power, but also very beautiful. The battle of Zhongli allowed the war god Wei Rui and famous general Cao Jingzong to defeat Yang Dayan and Yuan Ying. Yang Dayan was demoted to Yingzhou and became a soldier, but was re-appointed the next year. Luoyang people raised the city to welcome the brave general back. However, Yang Dayan returned home and found that General Pan was alone at home, lonely and unbearable, and raised a mistress. In anger, he killed Pan.

Qi Bi Ming was an unintentional word. He just saw the couple exerting power on the battlefield and said an unintentional word, but when it was heard, it would always make people think of it.

The two of them have some very subtle relationships.

The Turkic rebelled endlessly, and the court had some suspicions about the appointment of Hu generals. Among the Hu people who were heavy generals on the border, only three were left, Heichi Changzhi, Li Jinxing, and Qi Bi Ming. None of the three were Turkic people, one was a Baekje, one was a Mushi, and the other was a Tiel.

Heichi Changzhi is a rising star. In recent years, he gradually stood out and lived among the people. However, he is honest and enthusiastic in his life. He has been promoted by Li Jinxing and Qi Ziming to more or less, and his relationship with them is not tense. Li Jinxing has made many great contributions, from Liaodong to Qinghai, and then to the current Lingxi. Qi Ziming is not as good as Li Jinxing, but behind him is a tribe loyal to the court, and his father is a senior general in the first dynasty and comes from a famous family. The two are of equal force, so they are also competing in secret.

However, when the two of them are old, they will not be as impulsive as Xue Na and Zhang Qianxu, and they will beat them up with fists. On the surface, they still seem very kind. Li Wei is helpless in this regard. It is impossible to make Li Jinxing inferior to Qi Ziming, nor can they make Qi Ziming inferior to Li Jinxing. They can only warn you to make a fool of yourself by trying to make merit and not to make big things like Guo Tiefeng.

Although Wang Fangyi also came from behind, he had very little experience in facing these two people. He was very worried that Li Jinxing would change his face. Once he started fighting, he could not persuade him.

Qi Biming also felt the atmosphere a little nervous, and immediately changed his words and said, "I'm not that..."

"Don't explain, I know you made a mistake. To make up for it, Barrihei asked me to hit me." Li Jinxing punched Qi Ziming in the chest and said.

It was probably because Qi Bi Ming said it was unintentionally that his wife was an old woman. How could he compare with the Pan family who was so beautiful? It was just that he wanted to collect it but couldn't get it back. It was a joke after all. But for the sake of the overall situation, he took the initiative to distract the topic.

Qi Ziming said with a bitter face: "You have to fight for this credit too?"

He captured Gabrov City himself, but as his majesty's deputy in the Battle of Wuhu River, he made more contributions than he had. Moreover, he had to add more than 20,000 troops to destroy Buzarif with Wang Fangyi, which was a huge contribution.

Why did I seize Gabro City in front and rush to Barihei City desperately? Isn’t it just to narrow the gap in credit? Is it that I came to Barihei to do? But the more I spoke, the smaller the voice, my tongue was too serious. I felt very guilty.

"Stop talking, at worst, I will give you the Dayuan horse I'll give you."

All the countries in Lingxi produced good horses, among which the Dayuan horse of Shi Kingdom and the Blood Horse of Tochar were the best. The Shi Kingdom picked two of the best Dayuan horses, one for Li Wei and one for Li Jinxing. Tochar also picked two of the best sweat horses, one for Li Wei and one for Qi Biming. However, Li Wei took the initiative to speak out, whoever performed the bravest in the battle would reward these two horses to whom. He had two horses, and felt that four were too wasteful.

But it will not be given to Li Jinxing and the others, it is used to reward the backwards.

But how could a pure general not like BMW? Therefore, the two of them had a mental illness. Their bowl was always fragrant. They kept looking at each other's mounts and drooling. "Okay, then." Qi Ziming agreed reluctantly.

Wang Fangyi finally felt relieved. Anyway, these two people were here, and he was just here to make a fuss, so he didn't want to take any credit. However, Li Jinxing's competition for merit had both sides.

But Barry Black City is not that easy to attack.

The Silk Road in the west of the Ridge is the northernmost one, Nisa to Tofu, to Anguo, Kangguo, Talas, and Saiye. The next north one is from Kangguo to Dongcao Kingdom, crossing Morroling, and reach Shule, which is the middle road of the Western Regions. The next north one is from Kofu to Balihei, Tiemenguan, Shiguo, and Kangguo. The next three are from Tofu to Balihei, Tochar, Humido countries to cross the Pamir Mountains and reach Khotan, which is the southern road of the Western Regions. The middle one is from Nishapur City to Herat, Balihei and then to Fuyucheng, crossing the Pamir Mountains and to Yutian.

The one to the south is from Herat to Gabrou City and then to the Kingdom of Shibin. At the Paoling Mountains in the Tang Dynasty, the intersection of the middle route and to Khotan. There are two southern routes, Gabrou City to Hesinna City, Kandahar, Jiling City, Gabrou City to Kandahar to Xinde and Tianzhu. There are also two main lines in the north and south directions, Tianzhu, Xinde, Jiling City, Herat, from Herat to west to Persia, north to Barihei. Tianzhu, Xinde, Jiling City to Gabrou City, and then to Barihei, from Herat to the northeast to the countries of Tochar.

There are other roads, such as the road where Wang Fangyi marched, but they are all small roads and are not suitable for business travel. Therefore, the most important cities in Lingnan are Aludi (Samarkand, the capital of Kangguo), Mufu, Herat, Fuhecheng, Gabro City, Balihecheng, Jiling City and Nishapur City.

Salem not only deployed heavy troops in Gabro, Herat and Barihei City, but also added many defense measures and added many weapons. In addition, the city itself is solid and the city walls are tall, which is very difficult to attack. Li Jinxing was in trouble.

Gabrou's style of fighting is because he has enough time and a lot of manpower and material resources. Now he can use only the 20,000 troops he brought. If he borrowed troops from Qiebi Ming to pick up the earthen mountain, this guy would have to laugh at him. Time doesn't wait for him to do so. He must capture Barihei City, transfer the army to conquer the city of Mufu. He also divides his troops to attack Herat. This must be completed before the heat comes. If these fortresses are not taken into the hands, when the heat of the sky comes, the Tang army will definitely be at a disadvantage.

Besides, the troops coming from the Tang Dynasty were all northern soldiers. The Khorasan area was hot in summer and the soldiers were not adapted. So many people gathered together and could be infected with plague. There were not as many historical books as His Majesty, but they had read a lot. Large legions like this went to war and went to an unsuitable area, and the time period was not good, so the probability of plague was almost 20%.

And the faster the speed, the better. Before the cannibals react, if they take down Nishapur and Nisha City, they will be able to support each other before the heat of the sky arrives, even if the cannibals arrive, they will not worry. Moreover, the Byzantines can really bear it and will not send a high-standard group of messengers to the river to pay homage to His Majesty.

It all takes time.

Wang Fangyi made these two old guys angry, regardless of them. Qi Ziming lost the opportunity to make great contributions because of a slip of the tongue. He was depressed and would not give him any advice. Li Jinxing could only think hard with his wife.

Just at this time, Li Wei brought the Persian suspension bridge-style siege tower.

Looking at the drawings, Li Jinxing suddenly laughed to the sky and said, "This is God's help to me."

But it was not possible. He muttered to his wife and invited Wang Fangyi and Qie Ming to the banquet, and asked Liu to pour wine. When he arrived in front of Qie Ming, Liu snorted coldly. Her husband was generous and forgave him, but he was the biggest victim. Why compare me with that Pan?

Qi Biming was so angry that he couldn't say anything about his pain.

At this time, Li Jinxing spoke: "General Qiezi, I will borrow someone from you."

"Who?"

"That Surim."

Qi Bi clearly understood his intention to lend him to Li Jinxing without obstruction.

Li Jinxing began to build siege towers. However, he made some transformations and turned into 14 and 16 wheels, two super-large siege towers. This was a volume transformation. Then he made another transformation on the top baffle. He made holes to observe the opponent, and could also use a bow and crossbow to shoot from these large holes. In addition, he installed a pulley set. Similar equipment appeared in China for a long time, but Li Wei saw the difficulty of lifting heavy objects in military and civilian use, and suddenly

However, I remembered that the pulley sets were also used on the ship. The kind of boat-made hoist was also a large pulley. So I explained this theory. Now the Tang Dynasty was widely used. The siege tower was built and the catapult was pulled onto the top tower board. The suspension bridge was not yet placed, so the soldiers pushed it and approached the city wall. Using the cover of the baffle, a strong bow and crossbow kept shooting from the hole to the city wall. He also used the catapult to throw the fire medicine onto the top of the city.

Thirty large siege towers, which soon knocked the defenders on the lower city walls of Barihei so that they couldn't even lift their heads.

Qi Bi Ming opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but murmur: "This farmer has a great idea."

There were really not many swearing in the Tang Dynasty. Tiansheweng also had a swearing in the sense that you, a country bumpkin. Li Shimin used this sentence to scold Wei Zheng.

There were also big cannibals in the city fighting back and knocked down two siege towers with a catapult, but the enemy in the city suffered even heavier losses. After the bombing, Surim came to the city to shout, weakening the morale of the big cannibals. At this time, Surim did not call for surrender, but he could not help but lower his head in shame, and was pushed by several Tang soldiers, and swam back to the prisoner-of-war camp. The next day, more than thirty siege towers turned into more than forty, and the third day turned into more than fifty.

This weapon did not play much role in the hands of the Persians. However, it was a nightmare for the defenders of the Great Food City. On the fourth day, when he saw the Great Food Crown huddle on the head of the city, he didn't even dare to stretch one of his head. He lay under the stomping wall to avoid the Tang army's bow and arrows, Li Jinxing blew the horn. More than a hundred large suspension bridges were placed, and soldiers came down from the attack tower and stepped onto the city.

No Tang army was used, all soldiers from the Hezhong area.

After several battles, the Tang Dynasty's army suffered serious casualties. There is no need to reduce its strength in such a downwind battle. However, after several battles, the soldiers in the river have gained the experience of bloody battles and the confidence to win, and the surface is getting better and better.

Wang Fangyi nodded secretly. He had to make progress. His Majesty the Emperor managed Lingxi, which was only strategic. In the past few years, or even decades, the Tang Dynasty could not directly rule Lingxi. His Majesty would lead his army back sooner or later. Without combat effectiveness, he would be unable to resist the counterattack of the cannibals, and would not make Hurashan a barrier in the river.

The soldiers shouted and shouted, and many soldiers were killed, but they tightly protected the tower of the city, allowing reinforcements from behind to climb to the city. As the Tang Dynasty troops on the city were increasing, the Dashi soldiers guarding the city collapsed and fled to the city. Two young generals from Kang State opened the city gate. Li Jinxing waved his hand, and the cavalry rushed into the city, and Bali Heihuo took it down.

When we arrived at the city wall again, there were even fewer soldiers in the Great Food Guard. Seeing that after one day, more than a dozen taller siege towers were erected, all Persian soldiers in the city rebelled, and some people climbed up to the top of the city and shouted outside, "Let's siege the city quickly." We couldn't stand it anymore, but there were many Persian soldiers who rebelled, but the few big cannibals in the city were so screaming.

Li Jinxing immediately ordered his subordinates to push the siege tower to the edge of the city wall, and was so happy that he scratched his head. This thing is good, and the siege was very useful. But it also depends on that if the Tang army did not have powerful long-range projection weapons, its power would decrease. If the soldiers guarding the city had the Tang Dynasty's long-range attack weapons, its power would decrease. But it was very useful now. Once the siege tower was pushed, no matter how tall the city wall was, the soldiers would climb up from the siege tower. The Tang army entered the city, and the cannibals could not resist. The remaining soldiers leaned on the ground and surrendered.

Balihei took it down. In fact, it means that all the governor's prefectures and counties established by the Tang Dynasty were restored except for Jiling City.

Next, the main force had to go to Moufu City. He also sent a senior general to attack Herat. But this time, Qibiming led Li Jinxing's Dayuan horse and rushed to say, "I'll go to attack Herat City."

After saying that, regardless of the attitudes of Li Jinxing and Wang Fangyi, he left behind 20,000 soldiers and led 10,000 people to the south again.

Li Jinxing and Wang Fangyi had no choice but to take 40,000 soldiers westward and rushed to Mufu City. At this meeting, the troops became very impressive. Mufu City was truly surrounded.

But several important generals held a secret meeting. They first praised Li Jinxing: "General Li, you are doing a good job in Balihei."

Qi Bi Ming was an unintentional word, but if Li Jinxing did not have a large number and would have a sudden attack on the spot, the two brave generals would inevitably be in the same situation as the next step. At this critical moment, Li Wei did not want such a situation to occur the most. Liu Rengui and Li Jingxuan were the lessons of the past. But Li Jinxing cleverly resolved it.

Li Jinxing did not answer.

Li Wei changed the subject and said, "The wonderful use of that siege tower is better." Li Jinxing then smiled.

Only then did the matter discuss the main matter, it was news brought by Liu, and he had to change his plan.

In February, Xue Rengui died of illness at Yanmen Pass. When he heard this news, Li Jinxing and Li Wei sighed. Although there was a defeat by Dafeichuan, it is undeniable that Xue Rengui was the most brave general of the Tang Dynasty in the past few decades. However, people always have birth, old age, sickness and death. Xue Rengui is seventy years old and is still fighting for the court over the years. His vitality is consumed quickly and he dies when he gets sick. It is reasonable to say that Pei Xingjian had not been forcibly stopped him, because of Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu's betrayal, he was angry and went to the Western Regions again. He was seriously ill halfway and could not afford to be treated in time. Without a good doctor, he might have died.

In fact, Pei Xingjian had long passed away in history. This time Li Wei couldn't stand it and stopped it in time. He kept Pei Xingjian in Luoyang and treated it in time, so he barely saved Pei Xingjian's illness. However, as soon as Xue Rengui died, Ashinagudulu began to turn the world. After hearing the news, the Turks immediately invaded Dingzhou and asked King Huo Li Yuangui to repel it. Then they invaded Guizhou, plundered countless people, and returned to Yinshan. They surrounded the Shanyu Protectorate Palace, captured Sima Zhang Xingshi alive, and killed him.

Immediately afterwards, something happened in the court. Li Yiyan rebuked his parents, took a fancy to the old tomb of his uncle's family, and ordered him to move. Li Yiyan's talent was slightly inferior, and his moral character was still well known. Not only did he obstruct Wu Zetian from interfering in politics many times, he was also very honest. His house did not have a main hall, and his younger brother bought wood to build it for him. He pushed him and said, "The emperor asked me to be the prime minister, but he was ashamed, let alone building a beautiful house? He loved me, you were harming me." His younger brother said, "Those who have served as the county magistrate and magistrate are all in a prosperous house. If you don't have the position, what should your subordinates do?" He replied, "Otherwise, things will be difficult to complete, and things will not prosper. He is in a noble position and has a wide house. If there is no virtue, he will definitely suffer the seedlings." The pile of wood actually rotted for a long time.

I don’t know why this mistake was made, but Li Zhi heard it and said angrily: “Li Yiyan relied on power and actually bullied her uncle’s house. How could she be the prime minister?”

It was just a trivial matter. The Li family was the Li family in Longxi. I am afraid there was something else that did this. I either believed the bewitching of some Taoist priests and monks, or because their place was connected to the tomb, but they would not force their uncle's family in detail. They would inevitably resolve the problem through mediation and negotiation.

However, it was this small matter that strangely reached Li Zhi's ears, and it also strangely made Li Zhi furious and complicated the matter. Li Jinxing was afraid and had to beg for bones as an old man. After Li Zhi saw the remarks, he asked Li Yiyan to retire.

It was hard to say that several people looked at each other. In order to prevent the harem from interfering in politics, the Northern Wei Dynasty adopted the brutal means of establishing a son and killing his mother. It was done too much and could not be like the Emperor. There were only a few capable ministers loyal to the Emperor. Hao Chujun, Dai Zhide and others died one after another due to their old age. Liu Rengui was sent to Xijing, and Li Yiyan stopped his prefect. What did the Emperor want to do? Do you want to pass on the Empress Dowager?

But the emperor's father was inconvenient to say it.

Several generals would think like this from Li Wei's standpoint. But it wasn't like this. Li Zhi was seriously ill in his later years, had bad eyes and was reluctant to let go of power. In order to control, he kept balancing between his son and his wife. The direction of history was different, but the methods were the same.

But it was his balance that made many things happen. He thought he could control everything, but he didn't know that Wu Zetian had mastered the general trend step by step in the changes brought about by various balances. It was possible that he wanted Wu Zetian to assist the government, but he would not let his wife take charge of the major affairs.

But my father was foolish and did many things that made people feel mysterious.

Li Wei did not explain much and said, "Don't worry about the news later."

The purpose of coming to the Western Regions was to avoid storms. He also said, "Everyone, look at the previous news, Qinghai."

Forget about Li Yiyan's position, Liu Rengui was in Chang'an, and only Pei Yan and Xue Yuanchao were the only ones who were authoritative in the court. They also knew what they would do.

Then there is the strength of the military. The Tang Dynasty implemented the system of government troops, and the permanent troops were all just one in the north and one in Qinghai. The Western Regions had few troops, which could not be counted. There was also the Yulin Army in the two capitals, and Cheng Wuting had already served as the General of Zuo Yulin. The Yulin Army didn't have to think about it and was "lost". The north was stationed many troops because of the Turks' forced force, but with Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu, remote control through them, it was equivalent to losing.

This matter made Heichi Changzhi very worried. His position did not matter much, but it was related to His Majesty's future. However, this matter was very confidential, so Liu wanted to come to the Western Regions to reunite with her husband, so he asked Liu to bring these two messages over.

This matter is of great importance, and several generals dare not speak out.

Li Wei thought for a while and said, "Let's capture the city of Moufu first."

He asked them to leave, wrote a letter to Heichi Changzhi, sent his personal guards to Qinghai with a fast horse. After a long time, Heichi Changzhi underestimated the seriousness of the matter and made him receive the news very late. He ordered him not to delay any time on the road, and it would be best to hand the letter to Heichi Changzhi within more than twenty days.

The personal guard left with the letter, and Li Wei sighed and said, "It's right."
Chapter completed!
