Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

The man understood, and unwrapped a package from his body, which was a jade pot.The whole jade pot is as delicate and smooth as suet, and without any flaws. This jade pot is about one foot six inches high, one foot two inches wide, and eight inches thick. What surprised Chen Ying most was that the jade pot was The wall of the pot is very thin, so thin that it can be broken with a finger.

Just by looking at it, Chen Ying fell in love with this jade pot!

Yuchi Daoyuan smiled and said: "Brother Chen can tell he is an elegant person at a glance. Our Yuchi family is good at carving. Here is a jade pot. It is a treasure in my hand, so I gave it to Brother Chen!"

Chen Ying's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he said in his mouth: "Why is this so embarrassing?"

However, Chen Ying didn't feel embarrassed at all!

Khotan is the Hotan of later generations.Khotan jade is Hetian jade.If this jade pot is placed in later generations, it will definitely be a priceless treasure.

The value of jade is not only reflected in the raw materials, but also in the workmanship.If the jade of the same material is machine-carved or artificially carved, the value will be completely different.

Of course, the most commendable thing is that there is no machine processing in this era, and polishing such a large jade pot, especially the hollow part inside the pot, is very time-consuming and laborious.Even if you don't need to get the later generations, in this era, the value of this jade pot is definitely more than ten thousand gold.

Chen Ying is a kind person. He felt that he took this jade pot from Yuchi Daoyuan and gave him more than 300 sets of cheap leather armor. It was no different from stealing. Chen Ying played with this jade pot fondly and asked: "Isn't it easy to polish this jade pot?"

Yuchi Daoyuan nodded and said: "That's right, my great-grandfather got this piece of jade, so he took his clansmen to polish it. Later, after great-grandfather died, my grandfather took people to continue to polish it. It wasn't until three years ago that my father finished polishing it!"

Hearing this, Xu Chen Ying secretly clicked his tongue. It took three generations of people to polish a jade pot. The painstaking efforts of three generations have been poured into it. The symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning.

"It's rare, it's really rare!" Chen Ying said a little embarrassedly: "Well, there are more than two hundred war horses here, I still have use for these war horses, and I will give you another fifty crossbows!"

With that said, Chen Ying took Yuchi Daoyuan back to Chen Ying's camp, and directly unloaded fifty steel crossbows from the cart. This reduced version of the scorpion crossbow is quite powerful and can pierce through leather armor within 150 steps. , penetrate light iron armor within 120 steps, and penetrate light steel armor within [-] steps. If within [-] steps, you can shoot Mingguang heavy armor. Although the huge kinetic energy cannot penetrate the armor of Mingguang armor, But it can break the ribs of Mingguang armored soldiers.

Yuchi Daoyuan casually picked up a steel crossbow, and then wound it up. When he was winding up the crossbow, he felt a little bit of difficulty. He loaded the crossbow bolts, and then pointed it at the night sky, and it was just an arrow.

With the trembling sound of metal, the crossbow bolt flew to nowhere with the sound of breaking through the air.Yuchi Daoyuan looked at this crossbow machine, like a prisoner who had been in prison for 30 years, and suddenly saw a top-notch beauty, with a frightening gleam in his eyes.

"Good crossbow!" Yuchi Daoyuan praised sincerely: "With these fifty powerful crossbows in hand, I will never be afraid of Tuyuhun people looking for trouble for me in the future!"

At this moment, the leaders of the various clans saw the corpses all over the ground, with horrifying expressions on their faces.

Chen Ying pointed to these leaders who shook their heads and sighed, looked at Yuchi Daoyuan and said, "What's wrong with them?"

The wrinkles on Chief Wensu's face deepened, and he said with a bitter expression: "My lord, I don't know, although we didn't suffer in this battle, but...but..." He couldn't continue, shook his head, and let out a sigh.

Another leader said with a mournful face: "This battle might as well be lost! If we lose, we only lose a little money and people, but now that we have killed so many of them, the Tuyuhun tribe will definitely not let it go. They will Report revenge, kill our young and strong, take away our herds and women, and kill all our children who are taller than wheels, until our tribe is turned into a deathbed full of bones and vultures hovering around!"

Chen Ying was a little surprised and asked: "Is the Tuyuhun tribe so strong?"

All the leaders nodded one after another: "The Tuyuhun tribe has seven or eight thousand fierce fighters. It's too scary. We are no match for them!"

Chen Ying said with some disappointment: "There are only seven to eight thousand people?"

After a pause, Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly; "I thought he, Murong Fuyun, had raised another [-] troops."

Yuchi Daoyuan suddenly realized: "Brother Chen, do you have a way to deal with the Tuyuhun tribe?"

Chen Yingzheng wanted to say that Tuyuhun was a bird.However, at this moment, Li Xiuning was wearing a cloak, walked up to Chen Ying and said, "Are you all afraid of the Tuyuhun people?"

The leaders nodded again and again, like chickens eating rice.

Li Xiuning said: "If you are loyal to me, I will guarantee your safety!"

The leader of Wensu looked at Li Xiuning hesitantly and said, "You, a woman!"

"Yes, it's me!" Li Xiuning said, "If you are loyal to me, I will protect you."

Among the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions, whoever has the biggest fist has always been right.In the Western Regions, benevolence and righteousness do not work. Here, for thousands of years, the law of the jungle has been performed, the weak prey on the strong, and the strong are respected!

All the leaders hesitated for a moment, and bowed down to Li Xiuning one after another, swearing allegiance!

Chen Ying watched Li Xiuning's nonsense quietly. To Chen Ying, the Tuyuhun tribe was nothing more than a problem. As long as Murong Fuyun dared to show up, Chen Ying would definitely make him regret coming to this world.

Back in the big tent, Chen Ying found that his two sons were already fast asleep, and Li Siye and Chen Qian were sleeping on the same small bed, but the tent was a bit stuffy, and thin beads of sweat appeared on Li Siye's forehead.

Chen Ying went outside the tent and found Li Xiuning returning with a proud face.

Chen Ying asked: "San Niang, what are you doing?"

"Didn't do anything!" Li Xiuning asked knowingly: "Isn't it just learning from you and taking in a few house slaves!"

"How many are you?" Chen Ying said angrily: "You have taken 63 patriarchs as slaves in one breath, and there are hundreds or thousands of tribes behind them. Have you ever thought about what you are doing now? ?”

"Of course I know what I'm doing!" Li Xiuning pointed to the majestic Xiata Valley of the Tianshan Mountains and said, "Here, I have taken a fancy to it, so I naturally want to take it down. I have already taken my fancy. This valley is 64 miles long from north to south and wide There are [-] to [-] steps in the narrow place, and only [-] to [-] steps in the narrow place, you only need to seal off the north and south valleys, and this is a paradise!"

Chen Ying was silent. He understood Li Xiuning's worries and worries. Li Xiuning never thought of Li Yuan's malice before, but now she finally sees it clearly.Li Yuan supported Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng to fight with one hand, and acted as a referee on the other hand. No matter who won the big victory, he immediately went down with a stick, and finally maintained the balance between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin.

However, this so-called balance technique is actually easy to play with fire.

Because everyone is not a fool, and no one wants to be treated as a pawn by others.

In the Yang Wengan incident, Li Shimin played a seven-injury fist.

He did hurt Li Jiancheng, but it also made Li Yuan very disappointed with Li Shimin. Now Li Shimin is guarding one side in Taiyuan, focusing on expanding his direct army, but on the other hand, he is wooing Du Fuwei, who just entered the court at the end of Wude's fifth year.For some unknown reason, Du Fuwei gave Li Shimin the three thousand soldiers of the Modao Army he had finally formed.At this time, Li Shimin had more than [-] elite Xuanjia iron cavalry and [-] heavily armed Modao soldiers, and he almost became the de facto king of Taiyuan.

Originally, Chen Ying didn't understand why Li Yuan dismissed Du Fuwei to be a nobleman when he knew that Du Fuwei was in Chang'an, and Fu Gongyou's rebellion had nothing to do with him, and then he died suddenly.After Li Shimin ascended the throne, he rehabilitated Du Fuwei. It turned out that Du Fuwei and Li Shimin came together.

There is another turmoil in Li Tang's court, and it seems that there are only a few days of peace.

At this time, Li Xiuning gathered the weak tribes for his own use. In fact, he was thinking that after Li Yuan gathered Chen Ying and her military power, he would continue to stay in the Western Regions, and would not listen to the announcement.

Because the Han people have always been docile and easy to manage, regardless of Chen Ying's [-] troops, once he wants to rebel, half of them will rebel against him.The point is that these barbarians are different, they don't have the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor, they only accept death, and Li Yuan's imperial decree will definitely not work in front of them.

Early the next morning, Shatuji began to regain its calm.Those who should be shopping for vegetables, those who are cooking, are calm and calm, as if they don't even know that a fierce battle broke out not very far from here, and hundreds of people died!The rough nerves honed by the people of the Western Regions in the thousands of years of wars really made Chen Ying dumbfounded. If the people in Hebei had such rough nerves, the mere tens of thousands of Japanese invaders would probably only be kicked by the four-sided ring?Alas, can't compare, really can't compare!

Sure enough, Li Xiuning started to build the city at the same time on the north and south sides of Shatuji.First, the big stones on the mountain wall were excavated, and then transported to the position of Hulupo in the north, the ground was cleaned, and stones were used to build the stone city wall. This city was about 150 steps long, but it was built to be three feet three feet. thick.

Chen Ying was dumbfounded again, such a thick stone wall, even a howitzer below 120 mm in later generations would not be able to chew it.

However, Chen Ying didn't care about this matter.

The entire Shatu Bazaar was mobilized by Li Xiuning and began to expand frantically.The original mountain wall was chiseled away layer by layer, and this 64-mile-long valley is getting wider day by day.

Ma Sanbao found a hot spring valley in the valley, and then led people to surround the hot spring, and began to build a permanent camp relying on the mountain.

Later, Chen Ying saw a group of craftsmen like beggars building a miniature Chang'an city in the hot spring valley.The corridor in the middle was solemnly named Suzaku Street.

Chen Ying was really worried that Li Xiuning would build a palace in Hot Spring Valley, but when he saw a pond of about [-] square meters in the south of Hot Spring Valley named Furong Garden, Chen Ying suddenly became confused.

The torment of Chen Ying is not the same. Li Xiuning will select more than a thousand women from the 63 tribes who are loyal to her to form the Women's Army Women's Guards. To become Ma Sanbao's personal guard, in fact, Chen Ying also understood the meaning of being a hostage.

Xu Erniang helped build the sand map, no, now the sand map has been renamed Mulan City by Li Xiuning.Xu Erniang began to tidy up the originally messy market in Mulan City. She asked people to sort out four major areas, namely the mule and horse market for cattle, sheep, and knives, the fur trading market, and the food market for grain and medicinal materials. Dongshi Market is home to silver treasures and silks and satins.
