Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Luo Shixin dared to complain to Chen Ying, but the others did not have the guts.

However, Luo Shixin looked at the plow that Chen Ying also asked to plow the land, and the others were speechless.

Even Chen Ying, the chief protector, did the work himself, who would dare not do it.

While Chen Ying was leisurely plowing the land, suddenly Zhou Qing came to Chen Ying with an urgent report, and said, "General Protector, the fish has bitten the hook!"

Chen Ying opened the secret report and saw that it read: "The rebel army took Qu Boya, Qu Wentai and his son abducted on Mulei Road a few days ago. At present, the two and the rebel army are all under surveillance!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Zhou Qing, inform Guo Luo that he will be caught. If he is lost, I will screw his head off!"

Zhou Qing said: "Obey!"

Chen Ying turned to Ashina Simo and said: "Notify all the generals to come to the meeting!"

Hearing the order summoned by Chen Ying, all the soldiers hurriedly dropped their agricultural tools, took up their knives and guns, put on their armor, and came to Chen Ying's tent to listen to the order.

Chen Ying's big tent is actually not a big tent at all, but four four-wheeled carriages, and four four-wheeled carriages are put together to form a tent about six feet eight feet long and two feet four feet wide. The big tent, in conversion, is a caravan covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters.

It is not too crowded for a meeting of dozens of people.

Not long after, Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhigan, Su Dingfang, Guo Xiaoke and other generals all arrived.

Chen Ying looked at the generals who were gearing up and ready to move, and said: "Some of you may have been full of complaints, or you may have thought of scolding your mother..."

Luo Shixin suddenly stood up, and said coldly, "Which bastard is suing Yeye?"

Chen Ying shouted coldly: "Shut up!"

Luo Shixin smiled mischievously.

Chen Yingdao: "You should all know a saying, that is, to fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled first. If the inside is not stable, this will lead to great chaos. Don't think that we have now occupied the eastern part of the Western Regions, but you should not forget that they are only oral , I haven’t been convinced yet, the Chief Protector of the Great Master wants to make those people who harbor evil intentions think that the Protector of the Great Master has forgotten them, let them jump out by themselves, and now they can’t bear it anymore..."

When Ma Mengming heard this, he showed such an expression.

In fact, after the beginning of spring, Chen Ying led an army of [-] to march westward, and only [-] troops were stationed in Gaoche City and Gaochang City.

At that time, Ma Mengming felt something was wrong.

Obviously, this time the Qu family really failed, and Chen Ying didn't even give them the slightest chance.

Luo Shidao said, "General Protector, I won't participate in this fight against the rebellion!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Yes!"

Luo Shixin was very surprised. In fact, he didn't want to deal with the so-called rebels. After Chen Ying finished speaking, he already understood that the two useless members of Qu's father and son might not even be able to take a charge from the Xiaocai army. What do you mean, it's better to fight the Western Turks!

Chen Ying looked at Zhang Shigui and said, "This time you lead the team!"

Zhang Shigui said: "Thank you, Chief Protector!"

Chen Ying pointed to Luo Shidao: "Luo Shixin, I will seal you as the Grand Marshal of the Western Regions, and lead all the generals and soldiers of the Anxi Army except the Modao Army, the Shesheng Army, and the Xiaocai Army to set up farms here!"

Luo Shixin looked confused: "Why is it farming? Isn't it fighting the Western Turks?"

Chen Ying laughed and said, "We don't need to fight the Western Turks!"

"Why didn't you fight?" Luo Shixin asked strangely.

"You talk a lot!" Chen Ying said with a smile: "Since Tong Yehu's death, the remnants of the Western Turks have been divided into four, among which Hou Quli Qipi Khan and Yibibala Khan neither obeyed the other, Beat the dog's brains out!"

Chen Ying didn't look at Luo Shixin either, he paused for a while, looked at Zhang Shigui indifferently and asked, "If you are Hou Quli Tuppi Khan or Yibibala Khan, I heard that the Chief Protector of the Great Commander led an army of [-] to march westward. , what would you think?"

Zhang Shigui thought for a while and said, "It's possible that they will shake hands and make peace with each other!"

"That's right!" Chen Yingdao: "It is precisely because of this that this general will definitely not go west at this time. We will not only solve the problem of military rations for next year, but also stabilize the area and lure the Western Turkic Khan The country intensifies internal friction!"

As the saying goes, if the family is not for itself, heaven will kill the earth.

Obviously, Chen Ying is not like Qu Shi, sitting with his butt crooked.

Chapter 91 Tuyuhun Khan King Murong Fuyun

Chapter 91 Tuyuhun Khan King Murong Fuyun

Mulei, in fact, was a Pulei state in the Western Han Dynasty. "Pulei" is a phonetic transfer of the Huns, and it is named after Pulei Sea, which is now Balikun Lake.Over time, it became the current wooden barrier.

Baitake Mountain (now Beita Mountain) in the north of Mulei County was a strategic location between Yiwu, Altai and Dihua in later generations, but at this time, it is not that important. After all, the vast Western Regions, everywhere All are detourable locations.

After Qu Boya, Qu Wentai, his father and son, and the Gaochang royal family were rescued by his henchman Qu, they settled down in the Baitak Mountains.

As Qu Wentai gathered more and more tribes, by the middle of May in the fourth year of Wude, tens of thousands of people had gathered here.

Of course, the tens of thousands of people are not all the army, there are also some herdsmen of various ethnic groups who cannot be restrained by Tang law, but they all hate the people of Tang Dynasty.

But there are too many people, eating and drinking has become a problem.Seeing that the food, cattle and sheep were getting less and less, Qu Wentai found Qu Boya and said to him, "Father, we already have more than [-] elites in our hands. It should not be difficult to capture Gaochang City. There are only [-] Tang troops in Gaochang City. If you do mental calculations and are unprepared, the odds are great!"

Qu Boya shook his head and said, "Let's forget it!"

"Forget it!" Qu Wentai was impatient when he heard this: "Forget it? How can I forget it? They destroyed my Gaochang Kingdom, destroyed my ancestral temple, and the community. This feud cannot be shared, how can I forget it!"

Qu Boya suddenly took out a hoe from the corner of the tent: "Look at this?"

Qu Wentai glanced at it nonchalantly, and then took a second glance without interest: "Father, it's not that my son doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish grains. It's just a hoe, so what's so interesting about it!"

Qu Boya sighed and said, "Look carefully before you talk!"

Qu Wentai took the hoe and felt that it was obviously much heavier than normal hoe.It's a normal hoe, but it's half painted with black paint, mainly to keep the steel from oxidizing.He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see why, so he handed the hoe to Qu Boya: "Father, there is no difference, at most it is a little heavier!"

Qu Boya pointed to the hoe and said: "This is just a hoe, but it is made of refined steel. It is extremely sharp and can cut a steel bar as thick as a little finger at once. It can be said to cut iron like mud. Whether it is an arm It's still a thigh, if you swing it, it will be broken in two!"

Qu Wentai was stunned: "There is such a thing?"

As he said that, he asked someone to bring a thick iron chain, and went into battle himself. With a swipe of the hoe, with a click, the iron chain was cut into two pieces. Looking at the edge of the hoe, there was no burr!

Immediately horrified, Qu Wentai stroked the smooth edge of the shovel, and said with a horrified expression: "This hoe is so sharp? This Tang Dynasty is so prodigal, such a fine steel is actually used to make a hoe? The steel of the Tang Dynasty Is it that much?"

From the rise of steel in the Han Dynasty until modern times, steel has been a strategic material for 2000 years, firmly controlled by the central government, and iron smuggling is a felony because the output of steel is scarce and extremely expensive.

If you don’t have an intuitive understanding of the preciousness of steel in ancient times, you can ask your ancestors. Many people of their generation are still using wooden plows until 30 or [-] years after the founding of New China.Steel is hard to find, and steel with superior performance is even more difficult to buy. The better ones are used to make weapons, and the lower ones are used to make agricultural tools, so nothing will be wasted.

Now that the Tang army actually uses such good steel to make hoes, it still has one hand, which can only show that the iron and steel resources that the Tang people have mastered are beyond everyone's imagination, and they don't regard steel as a rare commodity at all!

At this moment, Qu Wentai noticed that there was still one person in the tent.

Xue Yingxiong.

The ability of Gaochang State to gain a foothold in the Western Regions mainly depends on the tribes of the six surnames Xue, Ma, Zhang, He, Liu, and Liu in the Western Regions.Xue's family has occupied Gaochang's officials for a long time, and its disciples and old officials are almost all over the Western Regions.
