Tang's dining table

The Kunlun vulture is the largest raptor in the Western Region.

When gliding in the sky, its wingspan exceeds one foot, and when it squats on the ground, its body length exceeds one meter.

The light brown hair on the neck grows backwards, like a napkin laid out by a gentleman when eating.

This allows it to poke its bald head into the carcasses of large animals in search of the most delicious food without getting its bald head dirty.

So, this is a noble bald head.

These Kunlun vultures were very grateful to Yunchu, because they could always find abundant food wherever Yunchu's army passed by.

In fact, Yunchu is not their favorite person yet. If Yunchu transforms into a Kunlun vulture at this time, he will know that there are two groups of people creating more food for the Kunlun vultures.

Six hundred miles south from Talas, where Yunchu was, ten thousand Tubo cavalry led by Helan Minzhi were attacking the city. Wherever the couple went, no humans or animals were left, and not a blade of grass grew.

Just four hundred miles southwest of He Lanminzhi and his wife, Lun Qinling, who suffered a heavy snowstorm in Khotan, was doing the same thing. However, Lun Qinling was unwilling to kill more people, and instead captured countless slaves along the way. .

His losses in Khotan were too serious. He lost nearly 30,000 warriors. This left many Tubo tribes without men who could herd and farm in their territories. If he could not plunder enough male slaves back, this would be a great blow to the Cam River Tibetans. It will be a catastrophe.

The people of the Western Regions were slow to respond. It was not until these three armies had been raging in their territory for a full month, taking away a large number of cattle, sheep, wealth, and plundering a large number of people that their king hurriedly organized The army is ready to kill these hateful invaders.

A half-human-tall Kunlun vulture fell to the ground with strong air pressure, and the wind driven by its long wings stirred up large amounts of dust.

When Yun Chu looked at the Kunlun Vulture, the Kunlun Vulture was also looking at him. There was no life in its four eyes, one was gloomy, one was greedy, one was sullen, and the other was cunning.

After one person and one bird looked at each other for a while, they lowered their guard. After all, a force that just wanted to hit these remote areas as much as possible would be better if it could artificially create a vast no-man's land.

The other just wanted to clean up the tragedy caused by Yun Chu as soon as possible, so that the world would not look so miserable.

Because the goals were consistent and even complementary, Yun Chu gave up the idea of ​​shooting the Kunlun vulture to death with arrows. Seeing that Yun Chu was still alive, the Kunlun vulture gave up the idea of ​​devouring his flesh and blood.

Entering Talas is actually equivalent to entering the territory of the Stone Kingdom. Ever since the old monkey killed the three kings of the Stone Kingdom, the Stone Kingdom now has no kings, only various city lords and tribal alliances.

Hassan, the richest city lord of Zhezhi City, lost his city. Therefore, the Shi Kingdom now does not even have a relatively powerful city lord.

So much so that when Yun Chu was running rampant in Shi Kingdom, he couldn't find an opponent to fight with.

When Yunchu set up camp in Talos, envoys from various tribes with the nine surnames of Zhaowu hurried over.

Wen Wen and Zhong Kui had many guesses about the purpose of these people's visit. After all, at least six major tribes among the nine Zhaowu surnames were regular visitors to Honglu Temple in Chang'an. They were most likely to come to question them.

For this reason, Wen Rou deliberately made several countermeasures.

One of the most exciting solutions is-accountability!

Commonly known as knocking down a rake!

Yunchu didn't expect that Wen Wen would describe the cruel deeds they had done in the Zhaowu Nine Surnames as mediation, as a way to create a prison, and as a last resort for long-term peace in the land of the Zhaowu Nine Surnames.

At least from the literal point of view, all the actions of Yunchu and his army on this land have an almost perfect explanation.

If you dig out the words one by one, people will read from the defense written by Wen Wen that there are four big words: painstaking efforts and lonely achievements.

The land in the river has been in constant war since ancient times. People have no regard for family and country, and no etiquette. They steal, rob, take advantage of, plunder, kill, cheat, have fornication, and have sex. Men are like bloodthirsty beasts, and women are like A pregnant lone wolf, a child has been known to kill since birth, an old man is still lying to others before he dies...

Each of these accusations has supporting evidence that can be matched and irrefutable.

These explanations are naturally not meant for people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu, because they are illiterate.

These explanations were given to the officials of the Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty and the officials of Yushitai.

As long as it makes sense to them, the nine surnames of Zhaowu will also make sense. If it doesn't make sense, just poke it with pliers and it will always make sense.

The land in the river is like this, and Tianzhu, which is connected to the land in the river itself, is probably not much better.

Yun Chu remembered that in "Journey to the West", Wu Chengen described the Tang Dynasty in China through the mouth of Buddha.

"Your Eastern Tang Dynasty, because of the vastness of the sky and the vastness of things and the density of people, is greedy and murderous, lustful and deceitful, deceitful and deceitful; it does not follow Buddhism, does not pursue good deeds, does not respect the three lights, and does not value grains; Loyal and unfilial, unjust and unkind, hiding one's heart from oneself, fighting against small scales; taking lives and killing, causing boundless sins, full of sins and evil, leading to the disaster of hell. Therefore, he will fall into the netherworld forever, and be pounded and beaten by many millstones. It is the suffering of animals that transform into many shapes covered with hair and horns, they use their bodies to pay off debts, and they become meat-feeders, and they are forever reduced to their noses, unable to ascend, all for this reason."

Yunchu hoped that this passage was an expression to enrich the plot of the story, otherwise Wu Chengen would have gone too far in denigrating the Tang Dynasty in the book.

When Yunchu stood in the torrent of history and personally experienced the lives of the indigenous people, he discovered that the further west you go, the more barbaric people's hearts become.

At least, Datang was a place with rules.

These rules may not be perfect, but they are the best rules for the weak. Otherwise, it will really become the hell of the devil country written by Wu Chengen.

When envoys from various tribes in the river arrived, each of them brought extremely rich gifts to Yunchu.

The gifts they brought were extremely crude, which fit perfectly with Yun Chu's thoughts on receiving gifts.

Large pieces of naturally formed dog-head gold, bull-head gold, camel-head gold, pockets of gold sand, boxes of precious gems, carts of precious furs, and horses bred from Tianshan and Kunlun Mountains. BMW, and the beauty in the river who took off her leather jacket and wore nothing underneath.

This kind of scene is not consistent with the scenes that Yun Chu and Wen Wen expected, which is very confusing.

Zai Yunchu accepted the gift with a smile and pulled Hassan, who was obviously the leader of the group of messengers, into the tent.

Hassan is the city lord of Zhezhi City. He was kidnapped and robbed by Yun Chu. In the end, his city was burned down.

Logically speaking, Hassan should hate Yun Chu to the core.

When they met Hassan, he didn't seem to remember what Yun Chu had done to him. Although the scars on his fat face had not yet healed, he could hold Yun Chu's hand and smile like Maitreya Buddha. close.

After entering the big tent, Yun Chu endured the pain that was like cutting flesh and took out his precious jars of tea to entertain the envoys who came from afar.

“When the eagle in the sky landed on the Talas grassland, I knew a hero had arrived.

When the morning glow in Kunlun Mountain appears in five colors, I know that a distinguished guest has arrived.

When the Gesang flower blooms and its eight petals appear, I know that a wise person has arrived...

when……"

Yunchu saw that Hassan was flattering him endlessly, so he decisively stopped him and said with a smile: "Everyone must ask for something if they are polite. Then, City Lord Hassan, you can just say you request."

Hassan's fat face, which was originally full of smiles, immediately collapsed. He looked at Yunchu sadly and said: "The highest official of the Great Cannibal in Sasan, Harman Yusuf, ordered us to build the Great Cannibal." The temple worships a man-eating god who would otherwise kill us.

We are too weak. Compared with Kunlun vultures like Junhou, we are just tiny starlings.

Now, the man-eating eagle from Sassanid wants to eat us, and we, the weak, can only plead with the powerful Kunlun vulture to save us. "

When Yun Chu heard what Hassan said, he couldn't help but look back at Wen Wen and Zhong Kui who were accompanying him.

She smiled softly and said, "Is this true?"

Hassan immediately knelt on the ground and swore to the heavens and the earth. Judging from the way he swore, his words couldn't be more true.

If Yunchu hadn't discovered the cannibal temple in his Zhezhi City, he would have almost believed it.

Yun Chu did not immediately answer Hassan and the envoys, but earnestly hoped that they could drink more sweet cans of tea.

Tea is still a very unfamiliar thing to the people in the land of the river. Although merchants brought tea to the river during the Han Dynasty, unfortunately, all the people who drank the tea died, leaving them no idea that tea is a good thing. impression.

However, the reason why nobles are called nobles is that they have never lacked a pair of eyes to discover beauty. After drinking this thing, the loss of inheritance does not prevent them from confirming that it is a good thing.

Yunchu secretly gave Hassan fifty pounds of tea, and then prepared sumptuous food and wine to entertain the messengers.

The beauties sent by the envoys were singing and dancing, and while the envoys were already immersed in the wine and food, Hassan, who had collected fifty kilograms of tea leaves from Yunchu, quietly He said to Yun Chu: "They hope to send you to Sassanid. It is best to have a battle with the big cannibal. In this way, it will be very beneficial to them whether they win or lose."

Yun Chu said calmly: "Why are you telling me this?"

Hassan said with a smile: "My city is gone. I hope you can reward me with another city."

Yunchu said seriously: "Which city do you want?"

Hassan said excitedly: "Attach City."

Yun Chu frowned slightly and said, "Atrach City one hundred and sixty miles away? That is a city belonging to the Kang tribe."

Hassan gritted his teeth and said: "The person who wants to use money to deceive the Lord and then fight against the big cannibal is none other than Compis, the lord of Atlach City in Kang State.

I also heard that Compis also contacted the Sasanian cannibal. Even if you don't want to fight the cannibal, the cannibal will find you for a decisive battle. "
