Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Xichuan Xiaodu Protectorate, Tuva City.

With the promotion of Kang Bao, Pang Feihu, Ruan Laosan and others in recent years, they each divided the wild wolf army left by Wang Bodang and stationed in several cities on Tuyuhun Road.

Today's Little Protectorate of Xichuan is still the same as before, with Cheng Erniu taking the post of Little Protector of Xichuan.Known as the twin tigers in the Xichuan Army, Tong Hu, who is as famous as Pang Feihu, is Cheng Erniu's deputy.

As for Zhu Pengchun, who is not good at leading troops and is good at money and food, he was ordered by Guo Ye to stay at Xichuan's side, and he specially looked at the treasures of Xichuan's underground palace and Guo's horse farm for Guo Ye.

Today, Xichuan Xiaoduhufu has recuperated and trained troops in recent years, and there are 5000 Xichuan troops.

As for the Qingmiao army that was incorporated after withdrawing from Golmud City, there were also a total of 3000 Tubo people, led by Dan Zhu, a Tubo man recruited by Guo Ye, who was stationed in Ali Tucheng.

Due to Guo Ye's relationship, today's Danzhu has naturally risen, and has become a fifth-rank guerrilla general in the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Ye also fulfilled his original promise to Danzhu. Danzhu not only lived in a big house and bought fields, but also married wives and concubines, and became the leader of the Tubo people in Xichuan.

When Guo Ye rode his horse into Tuva City, all these people heard the news and gathered in the general's mansion in Tuva City.

About half an hour later, in the hall of the General's Mansion.

Guo Ye sat in the middle, Cheng Erniu on the left and Tong Hu on the right on both sides of the hall, followed by Fatty Zhu, Dan Zhu, and Zhao Jiuchou who had stayed in Tuva City for a long time to recover from his injuries.

Looking at the familiar faces in the hall, Guo Ye couldn't help smiling, nodded to everyone, and said loudly: "Being separated from you brothers for a long time, I really want to kill Guo!"

Swish Swish Swish~Wow~~

Everyone in the room stood up one after another, clasped their fists together, and shouted in unison: "I've seen you before!"

The sound of "little brother" immediately pulled Guo Ye's thoughts back to a few years ago——

A small yamen servant, calling on friends and brothers for loyalty, has earned a great reputation in Longxi.

The bits and pieces of the past came to mind one by one.

Time flies like a white horse passing by, and Guo Ye's eyes are a little moist involuntarily.

"Cough cough..."

All of a sudden, Guo Ye found himself in a trance, coughed twice to cover it up a bit, and laughed at himself: "Haha, I'm sorry, I lost my mind and lost my composure just now. Sit down, everyone sit down."

Guo Ye got up and waved to everyone to sit down, then came down to Zhao Jiuchou in the hall, put his hand on his shoulder, and sighed: "Jiuchou, you have been recuperating in Xichuan for so long, but I have never come here. Take a look at you, brother, I'm sorry!"

Zhao Jiuchou grinned, but his smile was still uglier than crying as always, and then he shook his head and said, "Brother, it's okay, it's quite quiet in Tuva City to recuperate. In my spare time, I also go to the Yellow River to help Scar Liu from time to time. Waiting for the burial place of the brothers to have a look, it is quite fulfilling."

Scar Liu and others of the Yellow River Gang were wiped out in the first battle outside Golmud, and none survived. Later, when Guo Ye withdrew his troops, he brought all the remains of Scar Liu and others back to Xichuan from Tubo Kingdom, and buried them in the In a back mountain of Tuva city.

While Zhao Jiuchou was recuperating in Tuva City, he frequently went to pay homage, would pour a glass of wine, and chat with the dead brothers of the Yellow River Gang.

Hearing what Zhao Jiuchou said, Guo Ye's face couldn't help but move. He could see that Zhao Jiuchou was still brooding about the martyrdom of all members of the Yellow River Gang outside Golmud City, and couldn't let go of it.

So, he comforted Zhao Jiuchou in a low voice: "Jiuchou, don't be like this, cheer up and cheer up. When I enter Tubo again this time, I will definitely avenge the Yellow River Gang and my Xichuan Army brothers who died in Tubo, and comfort them. the spirit in heaven."

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Jiuchou's eyes flickered brightly, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, ready to come out.

At the same time, Cheng Erniu, who was not far behind Guo Ye, stood up suddenly, grinning his teeth and rubbing his fists, shouting, "Brother-in-law, what do you mean by that? Could it be that the court really made up its mind this time to attack Tubo? "

shhhhh~

Cheng Erniu's words directly focused everyone's attention on Guo Ye.Although Guo Ye turned his back to them, he could always feel the burning eyes on his back.

Immediately, he suddenly turned around, nodded lightly, waved his fist in the air, and said in a deep voice: "That's right, to tell you the truth, my brother, I have a heavy responsibility to go to Tubo this time. Of course, you have been waiting for a long time to make great achievements , the opportunity to kill the enemy and take revenge has finally come. Ahem..."

Guo Yeqing coughed twice, took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms, stretched his hands and slowly unfolded it, and shouted loudly to everyone:

"The imperial decree has arrived, and the generals of the Protectorate of Xichuan will accept it!"

Chapter 928 Zhao Jiuchou's Demon Obstacle

An imperial decree came down, ordering Guo Ye, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, to temporarily restrain the military affairs of Xichuan Duhufu, and dispatched [-] Xichuan soldiers and horses to accompany them to Luoxie City, Tubo. Tubo as support.

This time, Cheng Erniu and others in the hall were so excited that it was like boiling water in a pot and exploding it with a bang. One by one, they volunteered to lead three thousand soldiers and horses to fight with Guo Guo. Industry accompanying.

Except for Fatty Zhu, the steward of money and food who was not good at leading troops, Cheng Erniu, Tong Hu, and Zhao Jiuchou all asked for a fight, unwilling to be outnumbered.

Even Danzhu, a Tubo native, hurried forward and knelt down in front of Guo Ye, clasped his fists and asked for a fight: "Master Guo, take Danzhu, I and my [-] green seedlings will definitely protect you!"

This Tubo boy hangs out with Erniu Tonghu and others all day in Tuva City, under the influence of his ears and eyes, he now speaks Chinese very naturally.

Before Guo Ye could express his position, Tong Hu rolled up his sleeves and blasted the thorns. He snorted coldly at Danzhu and shouted, "You have a ball for the three thousand young seedlings? It's okay to be a front and guard the house, but How can the combat power compare with our Xichuan army? You boy will guard Ali Tucheng honestly for me, don’t fucking wish to enter Tubo with our little brother.”

slap~

Tong Hu was hit on the back of the head suddenly, and the person who shot it was his immediate boss Cheng Erniu.

Hearing Cheng Erniu's eyes staring like copper bells, he started to rage: "Tong Hu, I think you've grown up? I, Cheng Erniu, haven't spoken yet, you seem to be the first to come?"

After knocking Tong Hu mad, Cheng Erniu suddenly sneered at Guo Ye and said, "Well, brother-in-law, you can take me with you. Anyway, we are a family, right? This kind of thing If I give it all up to outsiders, where will I put my face?"

"Ahem... Er Niu can't go!"

Zhao Jiuchou coughed lightly twice, and said, "As the little governor of Xichuan, you can't leave this place without permission, and you can't leave here without someone in charge."

After hearing this, Guo Ye nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Jiu Chou is right, Erniu shouldn't leave Xichuan Dufu's side. And after arriving in Luoxie City, it is absolutely impossible to control the capital of Tubo with [-] troops. There are many dangers, and you will lose your life and head at any time. If something bad happens to you, how can I explain to Xiaoman? You, just stay here in Tuva City honestly, and follow the British prince Li Ji Let's send troops to Tubo together."

Cheng Erniu was completely speechless, curled his lips and felt very annoyed, saying that there was a difference between closeness and estrangement, why are there more restraints when this has become a family?

In desperation, he had no choice but to calm down, and sat back to his original position with his head drooped.

Seeing that Cheng Erniu was out of action, Tong Hu and Danzhu immediately became excited and looked at Guo Ye eagerly.Just like the concubines in the palace waiting for the emperor to turn over the night, it's a hopeless one.

"Cough cough..."

Zhao Jiuchou coughed twice again, and asked Guo Ye: "Brother, I think that in the defense of Golmud City, the Yellow River Gang Dao Scar Liu and other brothers were wiped out, and no one survived. When I dreamed back at midnight, I I can't sleep at night, and I can hear the fallen brothers crying in my ears every time, why, why didn't you help us avenge, why why..."

Zhao Jiuchou turned his lips and muttered to himself, his face turned pale and frightening.

Guo Ye knew that Zhao Jiuchou had always been worried about the death of Scar Liu and others from the Yellow River Gang.So much so that Zhao Jiuchou's body is recovering well now, but there is always a nightmare in his heart, tormenting him from time to time.

He knew very well that if he wanted to get rid of Zhao Jiuchou's demon barrier, he had to take him into Tubo again and let him kill the Tubo people again.

Otherwise, Zhao Jiuchou will never be able to get out of the demonic barrier. Even if his body recovers as before, the obsession in his heart can never be eliminated, which is equivalent to a disabled person.

Guo Ye sighed secretly, and asked, "Jiu Chou, I know that your body is recovering well, so I can also promise you to let you lead three thousand troops into Tibet. However, your hand..."

He found that Zhao Jiuchou had been hanging his left arm straight since he entered the hall of the general's mansion, and never raised it as if he was disobedient.

As soon as Guo Ye's words came out, Zhao Jiuchou's complexion darkened instantly, while Cheng Erniu, Tong Hu and others showed a bit of sympathy on their faces.

Soon, Zhao Jiuchou shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The last time I managed to save a life from a narrow escape, all the arrow wounds on my body were healed, but the veins on my left wrist were severed by the Tubo people, useless! But—"
