Tang Xuan

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the second year of Zhicheng, the city of Shule was so rotten that people vomited and drifted for hundreds of miles.Mu Gong's plan to accumulate corpses has begun to show results.The army was not ashamed and scolded for days.

In September, Cong Canglanhu led a remnant army of [-] to break through the city and flee to Suiye, chasing for three miles, because the terrorist army was infected with the epidemic.The city of Shule was conquered, and there were almost no living people in the city.The Pingxi army only injured more than a hundred people, and fourteen were killed.

Although this battle was a great victory, the censor participated in the impeachment endlessly, saying that the heavens are not intolerant, and they have not stopped for years.

"Book of Tang? Biography of Lang Huai"

In a few days, nearly a thousand soldiers were infected.Even though Cong Canglanhu was belatedly aware, she also understood that there was a difference.He executed the most suspicious generals and the sickest soldiers for committing the above crimes, and ordered his confidantes to burn their bodies at night, but he also knew in his heart that it would not last long.

After dealing with the burning of the corpse, Si Mo came to see him with a pale face.

"Zanpu, after such a long time, the Tang army's situation is still stable. I'm afraid that the matter of sending troops to Khotan will fail." Simo was worried, and said in a low voice: "Today, some soldiers drew water from the well and fished out half of the corpses. Go down and see, it has been corrupted for many days and maggots are everywhere, I am afraid this is the source of the epidemic."

"Sir, are you sure?" Cong Canglanhu's heart tightened and he asked quickly.

"Eighty nine is not far from ten." Si Mo was also worried, no one would have expected that Lang Huai would ignore the downstream of the sulfur water and set up such an extinct plan.He lost his former humility for a while, and said anxiously: "Zanpu, now we have to break through and go back earlier. Otherwise, things will change later!"

When Cong Canglanhu heard this, his expression turned ferocious, and he said sharply, "Breakthrough? Are you just a display of being the Tang army outside the city? Why do you need so many cavalry to attack the city? I'm afraid Lang Huai will wait for me to break through, so she can catch them all!"

"Zanpu! Keep the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood!" Si Mo also lost his temper, throwing away all the respect he had built in the past, and shouted: "The situation is better than people! Even if Zanpu has great ambitions, at this moment I should also be able to bear the humiliation of my crotch. The subordinates are willing to seek peace in the Tang army camp for Zanpu, so that Zanpu can return safely and reunite with His Highness." What he meant was to ask Cong Canglanhu to admit defeat and ask for peace in order to preserve his safety. life.

In a rage, Cong Canglanhu pulled out the saber at his waist, and cut off Simo's right arm with a single stroke of his remaining rationality. Amidst Si Mo's miserable cry, blood flowed profusely in the hall.

"Don't mention such things in the future! I think you have helped me a lot, so I will spare your life for the time being." Cong Canglanhu calmed down a little when he saw the blood, and his anger was also half gone.Seeing Si Mo lying on the ground with a face like gold paper, he nodded to the guards and motioned to take him down for treatment.

The wind passed through the hall, taking away the fresh smell of blood.Cong Canglanhu carefully wiped off the blood on the blade, and ordered in a low voice: "Pay close attention to him, and if he reveals the slightest thought that should not be there, kill him and his servants first, and then report."

The dead soldier who was loyal to him knelt down and saluted, touching his chest, and left in silence.

Cong Canglanhu lowered his brows, and suddenly had an idea—it has been more than two years since he left Luoxie, maybe it was really wrong to go out to plunder?But just for a moment, he was overwhelmed by his strong unwillingness.

Emperor Ming and others can rule the Central Plains, so why can't he?

However, Cong Canglanhu couldn't see Emperor Ming's hard-working achievements in the early [-] years before his reign were buried by desire.

When Simo woke up, it was already noon the next day.The broken arm of his right arm was in pain, and the boy who was serving him looked angry. When he saw him wake up, he hurriedly brought soup and medicine to him.

Si Mo gritted his teeth and took the medicine, and said in a trembling voice, "Does Zanpu have a new military order?"

"Master, why do you need to bother when he treats you like this?" This boy was only a year old, and he followed Simo since he was a child, almost like a half-son.Having said that, he replied honestly: "Everything remains the same, nothing has changed, but...but there are a few new faces outside the mansion."

With such remonstrance, Cong Canglanhu will definitely be suspicious of him.I'm afraid that if I have another abnormal movement, I will definitely have no physiology.

Si Mo was heartbroken, his face turned ashen and fell on the bed, he couldn't care about the pain at the severed arm for a moment.

When Princess Gucheng was leaving, she asked him to stop Cong Canglanhu's cruelty, but he failed.Now Cong Canglanhu did what he knew he couldn't do. As a counselor, he couldn't dissuade him, let alone his responsibility.

"That's all!" Si Mo looked at the child in front of him, beckoned him to come closer, and whispered a few words.

"Master! What's the matter..." The boy said in amazement with a look of astonishment on his face.

"I can see clearly that Shule will be destroyed. By then, Yizanpu will definitely refuse to go home, and will go to Suiye again. You are a child, if you stay, Tang Jun will not kill you." Si Mo said softly Entrusted, "These days, only drink the water you saved before! The same goes for eating, and don't eat the rest!"

The boy panicked and mumbled, "Master, what happened?"

"The water in the city is not clean, I'm afraid you will understand after a while!" Panting heavily, Si Mo gave a few more words of advice, and pouted again under the severe pain of the wound.

After all, Si Mo couldn't hold on, the broken arm festered and spread, and within a few days, he died.The news of the death was sent to Cong Canglanhu, but unexpectedly he had to be buried quickly.

He was originally a child from a poor family, and after passing the exam, he would not make any progress. How lucky was he to be able to be the aide of King Huai of the current dynasty?

His Royal Highness Duke Huai was a corporal, and when his sister left Beijing, he selected followers from the mansion.Based on his gratitude to King Huai, Si Mo took the initiative to invite Ying, but let him escape the upheaval.

I don't know how Si Mo will feel under Jiuquan.

The defenders in Shule City began to fall ill in large numbers, and it was almost unstoppable.Cong Canglanhu knew in his heart that he couldn't hide it, so he simply said that it was the devil summoned by that demon Lang Huai, which made thousands of Tubo soldiers fall.As long as everyone is united, we can tide over the difficulties.

But the Tang army did as Lang Huai expected, and the soldiers didn't dislike it much.The air-dried corpses in the city are their comrades, brothers and sisters who were once alive.This alone, the hatred for Tubo, is enough to make those big soldiers stop thinking about benevolence and righteousness.

Lang Huai came out of the school grounds and ran into Captain Chi Yanguang head-on.The two stood still, Yuchi Yanguang said: "Hello, General."

"At this time, are you looking for the third brother?" Lang Huai nodded casually, looked at Yuchi's bunt, and said with a smile: "In the imperial forest army competition, the third brother is the first in the foot battle and the third horse battle. General Yuchi is sure to go up." Thirty strokes?"

A cold light flashed in Yuchiyan's eyes, subconsciously puffed out his chest and said: "Yes!" Then he remembered that Lang Huai was also from the Imperial Forest Army, and just about to speak, Lang Huai had already seen what he wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "On horses I can't beat the third brother in battle, he is so powerful, I am convinced."

While talking, Tao Jun trotted over.Lang Huai said: "Hurry up, the third brother just said that no one can match him, and he is so lonely. If you can win, I will be able to embarrass him in the future."

"That's it, I will leave at the end." Yuchi Yanguang didn't say much, and walked in quickly.Among his several horses, he specially sent one to be bred in the school grounds. After Yuchi ran two laps, he couldn't wait to fight with Lu Laosan.

The result is naturally lost.

Yuchi Yanguang opened his neckline to breathe, sat on the ground casually, rubbed his arms that were slightly sore from too much force, and said admiringly: "Third brother is such a powerful general, it is really lucky that Datang has you."

"Hey, I'm not the only one with this strength. That guy Tuoba's horsepower is not weaker than mine. It's just a fluke." Lu Laosan patted his chest and said, "Much stronger than me."

Yuchi Yanguang knew that it was Tuoba Yiyang who was talking about just by recalling it briefly.He stayed in Kucha and cooperated with Gu Yang on offense and defense, so he probably won't be able to see him in the battle of Shule.Hearing Lu Lao San take the initiative to bring up the Grand Competition of the Imperial Forest Army, Yu Chi Yanguang thought about it, thinking about what Cai Lang Huai had just said, and said: "The third brother Ma Zhan is the first, so the battle shouldn't be a big deal, right? The younger brother went late and didn't participate After passing the competition, I was transferred to the Pingxi Army, and I didn’t pay much attention to these things.” He explained in a hurry, filtering out the characters in the Yulin Army in his mind, but for a while, he couldn’t imagine that there was someone capable of overcoming such fierce men as the youngest Tuoba Yiyang.

"You're talking about foot battles, of course it's Ah Huai." Lu Lao San smiled naively, and said, "I'm afraid there are not many who can beat Ah Huai in foot battles. If it's about right away, she is also capable of winning the championship." But that kid is as clever as a ghost, and he doesn't want to show off. She suffers so much that she is not as strong as me, but your third brother, I can't run as fast as her."

Yuchi Yanguang's heart skipped a beat, and he realized why Lang Huai only talked about horse fighting.Is this person really all-rounder?Yuchi Yanguang thought of Lang Huai's not-so-strong figure, and couldn't help but be full of doubts.

Is the successor of the sword weapon really serious?

Maybe we'll have to wait until she gets off the stage in person to find out.

Shaking off these messy thoughts, Yuchi Yanguang got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks, jumped on the horse, and laughed loudly: "Third brother, come again!"

"Order each battalion to keep an eye on each gate of Shule. If the enemy leads an army out of the city, suppress it with rockets and restrain it with an army formation, try your best not to engage in hand-to-hand combat. As for the loss of arrows, don't feel bad." Lang Huai listened to the message sent back by the scouts. With a trace of relief, he said ruthlessly: "I am going to be in Shule city, and within a month, none of them will come out."

"Yes." Tao Jun took the order and left, while Li Jin shook his head and said, "I'm afraid Shule will be a dead city by then."

Lang Huai said expressionlessly, "Cong Canglanhu has slaughtered the city several times, I'm afraid there are not many survivors from various countries. Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, and put Anxi down as soon as possible, so that everyone can be truly stable."

"But in this way, aren't you afraid of suffering downstream?" Li Jin scratched his messy hair and asked his doubts for the first time.

"It doesn't matter. I have sent people to cast a dam downstream of the sulfur water to intercept the dead bodies." Lang Huai explained with a sigh: "I also ordered people to sprinkle a lot of herbs along the way, and it should be able to go [-]%. Passing the city, I also sent a military order. All drinking water is not It cannot be drunk after being prepared with herbal medicine. After more than half a year, it should be fine."

"What's the effect?" Li Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Currently there are no people infected with the disease." Speaking of this Lang Huai was also very relieved, and turned the subject to ask: "Your Highness, after Pingxi, how will you be?"

She changed the subject like this, but Li Jin's heart tightened. "Why did the general say that?"

"The candidate for the governor of the Anxi Governor's Mansion, His Majesty asked me to recommend a safe candidate in the secret letter. I prefer Your Highness, I wonder if Your Highness has such a wish?" Lang Huai smiled, his eyes were probing and examining, and he looked straight at Li Jin's back. , I don't know how to answer.
