Tang Xuan

The city of Shule is large, imitating Chang'an, with high and thick walls, easy to defend but difficult to attack.If Asuma hadn't abandoned the city and fled, Lang Shixin would have had to go through a lot of trouble in his recovery.

Lang Huai has lived here for a long time and is familiar with its bricks and tiles.Here, she really understood what the Silk Road is, and she also got acquainted with the merchants from the Western Regions and even from distant Persia and Dashi.They are warm and intelligent, and although they are merchants and philistines, they are as generous and hospitable as a ranger.They bring wealth to their loved ones by virtue of their hard work going back and forth.

At that time, Lang Huai didn't really understand why Lang Shixin was able to win quickly but slowly. It was not until she understood the hardships behind the profits of Lang's firm, and pondered the emotions in the eyes of various businessmen, that she understood their emotions. , also realized Lang Shixin’s great wish under the slaughter—he wanted to build a smooth and peaceful Silk Road, a Silk Road that would bring wealth to the Tang Dynasty and the countries of the Western Regions, and a Silk Road that would bring opportunities to the people of Liming .

Rather than a piece of scorched earth after the so-called "conquest".

From the conquest during the Kaiyang period to the current [-] years, the time has passed in a hurry.Almost all of Lang Shixin's ambitions have been realized, but they are ruined by Cong Canglanhu's violent expropriation.If he knew how to manage, perhaps Datang would only be able to protect the Hexi Fortress after his vitality was seriously injured, and would not be thrown into the battle so quickly.But Cong Canglanhu has a tyrannical temperament, how can Lang Huai abandon Anxi?

All she has to do is to walk Lang Shi's new path again.Maybe the paths are different, but they always come to an end.Lang Huai stood still in Qiuci for a long time, and finally took the first step.

Now, it's the second step.

There were only two boxes of black fire brought from Chang'an this time, and one box was mixed with goods, and Lu Laosan brought it into Shule City.A box just blasted the Puning Gate on the south side of Shule City, killing those warriors who knew they had nowhere to go, and also opened the strong city gate.

The closer he was to the city, the more stable Lang Huai's mood became.It seems that she has returned to Kaiyang for 30 years, and she is a flying cavalry captain of the Qianfeng Battalion, drinking blood from the tip of a gun and charging into battle.Lang Huai collected his thoughts, let go of the horse reins and pulled down his armor, put his hands across his heart, and was the first to rush into the broken Puning Gate.

Burning, killing, looting and igniting everywhere, this time the combat protection is like a horse bandit robbing a village, the difference is that Tang Jun played the role of a horse bandit, doing everything he can to loot the already desolate Shule.

Don't remember how many rounds they fought, Lang Huai turned around, Mingda was guarded by more than [-] tiger and ben troops, and he had already confronted Tubo head-on.Occasionally, those who rushed in were also beheaded by Lan Jun and Zhu Jun.Estimating the time, Lang Huai ordered the herald to issue a second order to attack the Duhu Mansion in the east of Shule City with all his strength, where the current Tubo chief general's mansion is located.

The Tang army was divided into small groups, and even the cavalry formed a formation, shouting to kill and heading east.At this time, the Tubo organized an effective resistance, and the archers and horse-choppers rushed to the front of the battle one after another. After several fights, the ground was full of horse corpses, and the Tang army suffered a lot of losses.

The chief general of Tubo, Huabula, led the army to supervise the battle, and said with a smirk: "There is a way to heaven, you don't go, sons, kill the enemy for me! Capture the other general alive, so that I can ask Zanpu Zanmeng for your credit!"

"Order!"

The situation suddenly reversed as Lang Huai expected.Several battalions fought the enemy bravely, but they were still slightly stable in the end.Half of Lang Huai's body was stained with blood. Relying on his horse's speed, he rushed back and forth in the Tubo camp.

"General! We have to retreat!" The herald rushed up, looking anxious.Nearly half of them have been injured in this battle, if they don't take the road and flee, they are afraid that they will be surrounded by the Tibetans.

Just at this time, there was a loud noise from the south.A flame rose in the night sky.Lu Laosan and the others succeeded!

Lang Huai decisively ordered: "Withdraw!"

The cavalry who still had combat power held the formation, preventing the Tibetans from pursuing.The Tubo people only said that there was another Tang army attacking from the south, so they couldn't help but panic.Huabula was hesitating, when the remnants of the city lord's mansion fled over, and said in a panic, "The Tang army robbed the prisoners! All the nobles from various countries in the city lord's mansion were taken away!"

"What?" Huabula's face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked, "Where's West Market?"

"This... subordinates don't know!"

"Go and investigate!" Huabula knew something was wrong, and she was afraid that the Tang army's movement was not for Shule, but for the nobles of various countries.These people should be killed with a single knife, but Zanpu listened to that Hanchen, saying that using this as a threat can dispel those Western Region survivors who still intend to resist.

Huabura gritted her teeth, grabbed a guard, and said, "Take people to the West Market, if those people are still there, kill them all. If those people are also taken away, go and get 1 people, chase them! One No one is allowed to live!"

"Yes!"

Huabura pulled out her saber, got on her horse, gathered all the soldiers in the city, and attacked the slowly retreating Tang army like crazy.He was born short, but his arms swelled like buckets, wielding a big knife, beheading more than ten Tang soldiers one after another, and he was in the limelight for a while.

With such a strong general in Tibet, the morale increased sharply.Tang Jun showed even more decline, but within half an hour, there were many casualties again.

When Lang Huai got the news, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go to the meeting, Mr. Azhulan, protect your son! Tao Jun, bring a team of personal guards to follow me!" She glanced at Mingda hurriedly, and the mask covered her little one. On his face, his eyes were full of trust and worry.

Lang Huai nodded slightly, turned his horse and left.

As soon as Dou fought, Li Xin was almost knocked down.Lang Huai knew that he had encountered a rare opponent at this time, he was afraid that the third son of Tuoba Yiyang Road, who was known for his bravery, would not be able to compare with the person in front of him in terms of strength.

"You are the chief general of the Tang army? Who are you?" Huabula stuttered in Chinese, and Lang Huai did not intend to conceal his identity, and responded fluently in Tubo: "I am general Lang Huai."

"Mu Gonglanghuai?" Huabura was almost crying out of joy, he opened his arms and laughed wildly, "I'm going to kill you!"

"That depends on whether you have the ability." Lang Huai slowly rubbed his palms that had been numb from the shock just now, and held Li Xinxu, and moved the corners of his lips slightly. Tao Jun understood, and held the horizontal knife to organize resistance.

Here Lang Huai is already fighting with Huabura.After only a few rounds, Lang Huai knew that the opponent's losing horse was just an ordinary horse, not a horse like Tayun.She changed her mind quickly, changed her tactics quickly, relied on Tayun's quick and flexible response, slowly took the initiative, and gradually moved away from the Tubo camp with Huabula.

Lang Huai pretended to be helpless, turned his horse around suddenly, and fled for his life.Huabula chased after him furiously, only saying that he was about to make an incomparable miracle, and that he would be praised and trusted even more in the future.Soon he almost chased Lang Huai, and he could hear her rapid panting.

Lang Huai was waiting for this moment, when she clamped the horse's belly with her toes, Tayun stopped suddenly, but the flamboyant horse galloped forward.Taking advantage of the moment when the two staggered, Lang Huai turned sideways, drew his sword with his left hand to catch the big knife on Huabula's stab, and slashed diagonally with his right arm, Li Xin ruthlessly smashed Huabula's chest. La himself bumped into him, and his breastplate was ruptured immediately, a mouthful of blood spurted out immediately, and he fell off the horse.

This man was really brave, he turned over to avoid Ta Yun's horse's hooves, and swung his knife at the horse's butt.Lang Huai looked in all directions, knowing that the situation was stable, Tao Jun had already led his people out of the narrow road, and did not want to fight, so he chased after him.

The Tang army who got a gap came and went like the wind, and the Tubo people could only watch them run out of Shule and head south without stopping.There is an endless Gobi oasis mixed area, unless they also have a large number of cavalry, they will never be able to catch up.

After running for dozens of miles in one breath, Lang Huaicai ordered to rest.

The military tent was set up quickly, Mr. Zhu was familiar with Lude to take out the bandages and medicines, and Mingda also followed.With red eyes, she helped Lang Huai take off the armor, and when she saw the indentations on the Mingguang armor, and the inner robe was almost stained red with blood, tears welled up in her eyes.

She endured the pain in her heart, and when Lang Huai undressed, he saw that her body was mostly shallow cuts, and the only serious injury was a knife wound on the back that was badly bruised, so she felt relieved.

Mr. Zhu was busy cleaning the wound and applying medicine, Ming Da stood aside silently and learned, Lang Huai then said, "If it's a foot fight, that Huabula can't hurt me at all."

In Mr. Zhu's opinion, Lang Huai's injury was considered minor.She herself was also painted, and after Lang Huai took care of it, Mingda naturally took over the clean clothes, Zhu Jun took the basin and left with the dirty clothes, to wrap up Lan Jun and Tao Jun's wounds.

Ming Da hadn't removed his armor yet, Lang Huai deliberately didn't mention himself, saying: "You're about to take it off, I can't even hug you in this suit."

Mingda nodded silently, and after finishing packing, he went to get some food before coming back.

Regardless of the hunger in his stomach, Lang Huai pulled her over and placed her on his lap.

After being silent for a while, Lang Huai only said: "I have a sense of proportion."

Mingda's eyes were still red, and after a while, he said: "Just remember to come back."

I don't know when heavy snow fell, erasing the traces of their escape.A brazier was placed in the tent, and a kettle sat on it, which had not yet boiled.Lang Huai skewered the meat with a piece of wood and roasted it over the flames, as if he was not the rest of his life after the war.

The water in the kettle was gurgling, Lang Huai broke off a piece of tea, threw it into the kettle, and continued to boil.She sat crookedly on the thick blanket and sighed, "It's so enjoyable in the general's tent."

Mingda was amused by her appearance, burst out laughing, and agreed: "Indeed, if I hadn't fought a battle with you, I would still be hunting and returning to camp."

Lang Huai was very hungry, and before the meat was fully cooked, he brought it to his mouth, blew it, and happily swallowed it.The meat skewers had just left the fire, and they were still very hot. Lang Huai's tongue was scalded, his face was wrinkled, and he mumbled: "Mmm! It's delicious!"

Mingda gloated and said, "Is it burning? It deserves it!"

Mr. Zhu and the others cleaned up neatly. Tao Jun went to patrol the camp first, and the two girls came in side by side, holding some food in their arms.Not long after, Tao Jun opened the curtain and came back. His hat and shoulders were covered with snow, and he said with a happy face, "With such heavy snow, our traces will be buried. Third brother and the others are sure to be fine."

Zhu Jun stepped forward to help him pat the snow off, Lang Huai also smiled and said: "Finally escaped. It's time to celebrate! But remember to sort out the list of brothers who died in battle carefully, and the pension must not be less."

"Hey, don't worry, I have Cen Jinglue to support him. He is also very powerful. He is still managing the account books in such a heavy snow." Tao Jun thought for a while and then said: "I think there is blood on his cuffs, I am afraid he is also in battle. murdered."

One sentence made Lang Huai feel sad, and everyone was speechless for a long time.

Lang Huai held Mingda's hand tightly, and sighed: "How can a person who remains unchanged in such a Shura field live alone?"

The author has something to say: this time to sort out

Lang Huai sent troops to Shule this time because of his promise with An Mu. After paying the price, I will mention it later. There are good and bad.But generally speaking, the long-term benefits will only be revealed in the next few years-in the future, facing Tubo, who is the master of Gucheng, and Datang, where Li Yu is the emperor, the countries in the Western Regions will always trust Datang emotionally.The benefits brought by this are self-evident.

Lang Huai wants a still unimpeded Silk Road and a rich Anxi, instead of devastated, so the next step will be slow, one by one, one by one, to force Cong Canglanhu away from Shule and Suiye, unless he goes over the mountains , otherwise it cannot escape.
