Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Ashina Suni picked up a piece of roasted lamb with a dagger, handed it to the common people, and said, "Do you want to eat it?"

"I want... want to eat...!" The commoner swallowed with difficulty.

Ashina Suni blinked with disdain, and said lightly: "Whatever I ask, you just need to answer truthfully, answer a question, a piece of meat, if you answer all, this leg of lamb, or not this sheep is yours of!"

The common people said: "Excuse me, my lord, Xiaodi will know everything!"

Ashina Suni lost his way: "What's your name?"

The common people said respectfully: "Xiao Di Huang San!"

Ashina Suni used a dagger to cut off a small piece of meat and threw it in front of Huang San. Huang San didn't care that the piece of mutton was stained with mud. Put it in your mouth in one bite.

Ashina Sunis asked again: "What do you do?"

Huang San stretched his neck, looked at the roasted whole lamb, and showed longing eyes: "The little Qujiang Fang collects Ye Xiang!"

Ashina Suni gave Huang San another piece of mutton as promised, and then asked, "What did you eat yesterday?"

Huang San ate another piece of mutton, and said without hesitation: "Noodle...noodle cake..."

Ashina Suni lost his way: "How much did you eat?"

Huang San said with difficulty: "One...one...! And...a bowl of soup..."

Ashina Suni asked in confusion, "Broth?"

Huang Sandao: "It's vegetables... vegetable soup... dried wild vegetables..."

Ashina Suni lost his mind and said, "You only eat one pancake for a meal? Is your meal small enough? Why are you so thin?"

Huang Sandao: "No...not one meal...it's just one meal a day...one meal a day..."

Ashina Suni lost his way: "I eat one meal a day, and there is only one pancake in a meal?"

Don't look at Ashina Suniso being so unorganized, he asked Huang San as usual, and Huang San gradually let go of his vigilance.While eating the mutton, Huang San nodded and said, "Yes... yes..."

Ashina Sunis asked again: "Have you met General Chen?"

Huang San shook his head and said, "I've seen it."

Ashina Suni lost interest and said, "How could you see General Chen?"

Huang San shook his head and said: "Don't you know that? General Chen likes to get up in the morning and run around the flower garden. When I get up in the morning to collect night incense, I often see General Chen. Once I was pulling a cart, The climb almost slipped, and General Chen helped me push the car!"

Ashina Suni frowned and said: "If you're lying, you don't even ask. Who is General Chen? How could he push the cart for you? You must have never met General Chen."

Huang San bumped into Tian Qu, swearing that he had just met General Chen a few days ago.Just yesterday I saw General Chen running in the garden.

Ashina Suni nodded and waved his hand: "Take it down and give him some meat!"

The left and right guards took Huang San down.

Ashina Suni fell down and sat on the ground, speechless for a long time.He suddenly inserted the knife in his hand into the mutton, stared at the man who looked like an accountant and asked, "What do you think?"

The accountant-looking man bowed and said, "Ye Hu Khan, it seems that Chen Ying's son must still be in Chang'an. The so-called news that Chen Ying led the elite Tang army northward to Taiyuan must be false!"

Ashina Suni shook his head resolutely and said, "No, Chen Ying is no longer in Chang'an."

The accountant asked in confusion: "Ye Hu Khan, how is this possible? Didn't Huang San say that Chen Ying is still exercising?"

Ashina Suni shook his head lightly, put the knife on the case lightly, and said lightly: "There is a famous saying in Huaxia called, the false is the real, the real is the false, Chen Ying looked at it in Chang'an, I'm afraid it's not Chen Ying who is in Chang'an anymore, if the predictions are correct, Chen Ying has already followed the Tang army all the way north by now, and might soon reach Jiexiu."

Speaking of this, Ashina Suni shouted coldly: "Come on, send a secret letter to Khan and tell him that Chen Ying has gone north!"

Ashina Sunis was also clever but was mistaken by his cleverness. He didn't know that Chen Ying never went to Taiyuan at all, and Li Shiji, who the Turks were least optimistic about, was actually a ruthless character, no better than Chen Ying deal with.

When the Turks saw how powerful Li Shiji was, they realized that if Chen Ying was described as a tiger, then Li Shiji was a poisonous snake.

But this is just an afterthought, so I won't mention it for the time being.

As the saying goes, you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs.

Ashina Suni lost his wit and sent a wrong message to Jieli Khan, which caused the Turks to suffer a crushing defeat in Li Tang's diplomatic struggle.

Chen Ying took a boat all the way up against the current and headed towards Lingzhou at a speed of [-] miles a day.

PS: These chapters are just foreshadowing, the battle is gradually starting, continue to be passionate, weak and weak begging for votes!

Chapter 52 Hugging the Grass and Hitting the Rabbit

Going upstream from the Yellow River was something Chen Ying decided with a slap in the face. However, in fact, he had just walked for two days and arrived in Qu County when Chen Ying ran into trouble.

Qu County is also Ji County in later generations. There is a very famous scenic spot in Ji County. It is estimated that most Chinese people have heard of it, the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River.

The county boat went to Mengmen, and then five miles to the north was Hukou Waterfall. Although it was five miles away, the sound of the huge waterfall made Chen Ying slap his head, and Chen Ying actually looked at it.

In fact, the places where the Yellow River can be transported by water are limited to the middle and lower reaches. Not to mention the water transport ships, even the motorboats of later generations may not be able to go upstream to the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River.

Now, Chen Ying can only look at the Hukou Waterfall and sigh, secretly saying: "Mistake!"

However, up to this moment, Sun Jingchu was not panicked at all.

What Chen Ying didn't know was that the biggest obstacle to water transportation on the Yellow River was Hukou Waterfall, and the way to pass Hukou Waterfall was "boating on dry land".Under the conditions at that time, this may be the best choice for water transportation to pass Hukou Waterfall.However, the wisdom of the working people cannot be ignored. I don’t know when, from Mengmendu to the east, there is a trench about [-] or [-] steps wide. This trench is about [-] miles away, and it directly bypasses the Hukou Waterfall. In this way, even though it was a bit cumbersome to change the route, Chen Ying's worries were swept away.

Because the width of the trench is too narrow, even Chen Ying's boat "Wan'an" can't pass through. In desperation, Chen Ying just moved to a small white stone boat, wandered around, and finally passed the Hukou. Waterfall, Chen Ying is not in the mood to appreciate Hukou Waterfall at this moment, he wished he could put on his wings and fly to Lingzhou, look at that lovely little man.

However, when Chen Ying and his party just arrived in Pu County, they ran into trouble again.Li Ruiting, the county magistrate of Puxian County, came to Chen Ying and cried loudly, begging Chen Ying to help him suppress the bandits.

Chen Ying was confused, looked at Li Ruiting who was full of snot and tears, and said: "Li County Magistrate don't cry, what's going on, please tell me in detail!"

Li Ruiting choked with sobs and said, "I ask General Chen to help you suppress the bandits, this day is simply unbearable!"

It turned out that the autumn harvest had just passed.The taxes just collected in Pu County were transported into the official treasury before they were warmed up, and they were snatched up by thousands of bandits from all over the world. Li Ruiting had to bring someone back to find the food, or fill the hole himself, otherwise he could wipe his neck and hang himself.

As the so-called poor mountains and evil waters come out of troublesome people, this Pu County is located at the southern end of Luliang Mountain and the west foot. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west, surrounded by mountains on three sides in the east, south and north.There are Mount Tailiang, Niucao Mountain, Chrysanthemum Mountain, and Muling Mountain in the northeast; Taobu Mountain, Shimen Mountain, Tai Mountain, and Baektou Mountain in the east; Wulu Mountain and Wulong Cave in the north; Stone Mountain, Baoziliang, and Wugu Mountain in the south. Mountain.Surrounded by east and west rivers, seven walls are spread out, eight rivers are criss-cross, and ravines are staggered.Wulu Mountain is in the north, Shitou Mountain is in the south, Gushe Mountain is in the east, and Xinshui River runs through it. It is the gateway from Linfen to several counties in Xishan.The north and south are separated by a pass of a hundred miles, and the east and west are separated by a line of sky.Therefore, it is known as "the throat of the east of the river, and the gateway of the western Qin Dynasty".

This place is simply a bandit's paradise. If you dig into any ravine, there is nowhere to look for it.The key is around the area of ​​Hedong. In this short period of three years, Li Yuan went south to conquer the Sui Dynasty. Dou Jiande fought badly in Hedong. After so many battles, there are naturally many casualties, but more deserters. These deserters who have seen blood and killed people, naturally cannot become good citizens. Their only The way out is to become a bandit.

What's more, there is a strong cultural tradition of banditry in the Lvliang mountain area, many of which are bandits who have been accumulating for hundreds of years. The management of several generations is deeply rooted.In the former Sui Dynasty and the first year of Wude, they made great efforts to encircle and suppress them, but every time they ended up in disgrace and let it go.

Because they couldn't do without the support of the landlords and gentry in suppressing bandits in those poor mountains and evil waters, and the landlords and gentry colluded with the bandits, so what a fart!

But now, those bandits met their opponents.Because Chen Ying asked Li Yuan for 5 troops, it is not difficult to defeat the Western Turks alone, and it is not difficult to swallow the Western Regions, but it is not so easy to gain a firm foothold in the Western Regions with this small force.The overall folk customs in the Western Regions are tough, and this is definitely a restricted area for lovers and a paradise for bullies.Once Datang immigrated to the Western Regions, it is estimated that the migration of 50 million people would be wiped out in just a few years or ten years.

But bandits are different.They dare to kill, they are bloody, give him a knife, and they dare to go up and risk their lives.It's like someone giving you a pillow when you're sleepy.
