Chapter 290 Insulting the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, beheaded
Ashina Helu was surrounded and fled desperately.
The screams from behind kept coming.
Just a thousand cavalry, chasing them.
Tens of thousands of cavalry being chased by a thousand cavalry is a joke in the eyes of many people.
But it is commonplace in this era.
"Khan, go!"
A guard turned around and rushed to kill. As soon as he made contact, he was cut off by the Tang army.
"Find Jun Tang!"
Right on the flank, countless cavalry rushed out.
Qi Bi He Li took the lead and scolded: "Liang Jianfang, a lowly dog slave, didn't wait for the old man!"
"Kill!"
Fifty thousand Huihe cavalry, plus thousands of Tang cavalry flocked in, as for the infantry...
After receiving the news, Qibi Heli shamelessly abandoned the infantry and led the cavalry to chase after him.
Ashina Helu was dumbfounded.
"The Tang army has been behind, Khan, they are using 10,000 people to lure us to attack... If we lose, they will lure us into the encirclement of their main force, but we lost."
Tang Jun's plans are now fully exposed.
First use 10,000 Tang troops as bait to lure He Lu to attack, and the main force is cruising around, waiting for fighters to appear.
Tang Jun should have set off after the decisive battle began, but he didn't expect He Lu to lose so quickly that he missed the battle.
Aggrieved!
Not only Qibi He Li was aggrieved, but He Lu was even aggrieved and wanted to commit suicide.
10,000 Tang troops, of which only 1,000 cavalry, his strategic situation has never been better: the tens of thousands of troops ahead have obvious advantages, and Zhu Xiegu in the prison mountain led more than 10,000 people to attack the Tang army...
This is a must-win situation.
But Zhu Xie was defeated in the first battle, and even his head was cut off by the Tang army.
Then Tang Jun stood firm, unshakable like a rock...
When their attack failed, Liang Jianfang was dispatched.
The old guy didn't care about anything else, he only cared about disrupting He Lu's formation, and then he was defeated.
"Defeated!"
The army was defeated like a mountain.
In the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of cavalry often chased and killed tens of thousands of cavalry, whether it was Turkic or Korean, they were all victims.
The armored cavalry kept disarming, and then came up again.
Jia Ping'an only felt his blood boil.
This is Datang!
This hunt did not stop.
Three days later, when thousands of enemy cavalry fled ahead, Liang Jianfang raised his hand.
"Old stuff!"
Qibi Heli chased after him, and cursed, "Why didn't you pursue?"
Liang Jianfang turned around with a happy face, "It's going to snow, where does the food come from? We have dry food, what do the horses eat?"
Qibi Heli looked ahead, "You rest, old man go."
"Good!" Liang Jianfang nodded.
Datang’s attitude towards the enemy is to chase and kill them to the end. Liang Jianfang gave up the pursuit to give up the opportunity to Qibi Heli.
Who said Lao Liang can't be a man?
But Qibi Heli calmly dispatched the deputy chief to lead three thousand Qingqi to pursue them.
"The old man is not greedy for merit." He was crazily implying Liang Jianfang: Old man, what you did before is not honest, it is too late to inform the old man. So that when the old man arrived, there was only residual soup and water left.
Liang Jianfang smiled and shook his head.
The sky was gloomy, but everyone had smiles on their faces.
On the way back to the division, we kept meeting Huihe people who came to clean up the battlefield.
For this battle, Datang recruited 50,000 Huihe cavalry as assistants. They brought their own dry food and were very enthusiastic.
Why?
Because they knew that going out with the Tang army was a victory, and the subsequent division of the spoils would allow them to live comfortably this winter.
Several Huihe generals stepped forward to salute respectfully.
"Respected general, congratulations to Datang for defeating the hateful rebellion. I saw the sunshine..." The leading Huihe general looked up at the cloudy sky, and said reverently: "Ashina Helu brought dark clouds to the grassland. , and the invincible Great Tang army dispelled the cloud..."
A series of flattery blurted out, it seems to be a skilled worker.
Liang Jianfang watched coldly, and Qibi Heli said in a low voice: "It's to please, and I want to get more benefits by the way."
Jia Pingan nodded.
Qibi Heli was very interested in him, and while whispering about the Huihe people, he was observing him.
Jia Ping'an was observing those Huihe people.
They looked enviously at the Tang soldiers, not only for their equipment, but also for their confidence.
Back to the main battlefield, the weather was cold, and the Tang Army infantry who arrived later were digging pits, preparing to bury these enemy corpses.
"do not!"
Liang Jianfang found that Jia Ping'an had light in his eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
Jia Pingan pointed to the corpses, "General, there are so many corpses, it would be a waste not to build a Beijing temple."
Liang Jianfang suddenly remembered what Jia Pingan did in Diezhou and Shanyu Dufu, his cheeks trembled, "Why do you like this thing? Young man, don't be murderous, lest there will be no peace after death."
When Lao Liang said this, it was like a tiger saying not to kill.
Jia Pingan said indifferently: "The monks said that kindness is beautiful, and that we should put down the butcher's knife, but this is a jungle. There has never been a tiger or wolf who would take the initiative to break off his claws and fangs, and was willing to starve to death. Datang has many opponents, countless. Before deciding to wipe out the opponent, Datang needs to sharpen his minions and make the enemy tremble. And Jingguan...is a building that demonstrates Datang's martial arts, and I am willing to become a master builder in this life, just for Jingguan."
Liang Jianfang watched Jia Pingan go to the captives, and couldn't help sighing: "Young man... Damn, I think he will scare foreigners in the future."
Qibi He Li said: "He regards Beijing as a building, and he regards the world as a jungle. Lao Liang, your mother was born and raised in the Central Plains, but this old man was born in the wilderness and grew up among beasts. You I don’t understand how dangerous it is, so this old man admires this young man, and if possible, this old man is willing to take him to fight himself.”
"You want to **** the young man whom the old man favors?" Liang Jianfang sneered and said, "Your paternal grandfather was Tie Le Khan, and you inherited the position of Khan when you were nine years old. You were born in the wilderness, and your mother is born in Jinwowo Born in the middle of the earth, growing up among women... What is evil? Is it the woman's **** that are evil?"
Qibi He Li scolded: "Old man, you are in the limelight today, so hurry up and write a good report and send it to Chang'an."
"What are you panicking about?" Liang Jianfang said, "Chang'an reckoned that I was still on the way. At this time, I sent the good news. I am worried that someone will be scared to death."
Qibi He Li sighed: "Are you talking about those people?"
Liang Jianfang nodded, "Those people want their own people to lead the army, but... those people, those aristocratic families in Guanlong, what did they rely on to make a fortune? They rely on seizing military power, so that they can continue to change dynasties. But Your Majesty knows this... You have to keep an eye on it, don't let the children of those people go smoothly in the army."
"The old man knows."
Qi Bi He Li was silent for a while, "Those people are too courageous, Your Majesty is already stable at this moment, if they want to be rich, they are already very rich, if they want power, they are already cooking with fire, why should they intervene in the army? "
Seeing those captives being driven to carry the corpses, Liang Jianfang couldn't help laughing, "It's just that people don't have enough hearts. They supported Yang Jian, so they established the country in the former Sui Dynasty. They... don't care about those people, but these people are either extremely rich or powerful. Disaster is imminent, the old man should stay away."
"This statement is very true." Qi Bi He Li agreed with this view, "It's either rich and powerful, or a catastrophe is imminent."
When Jing Guan stood upright, Liang Jianfang stood in front, looked up at the head on the top, and asked, "Whose head?"
"Zhu Xie is lonely." Jia Ping'an was smiling, but this smile was extremely murderous in Lao Liang's eyes.
"here you go!"
He took a few steps back and watched Jing Guan with Qi Bi He Li, "Damn! It's so beautiful!"
The captives knelt on the ground, no longer arrogant.
Jia Pingan walked through the middle, and no one dared to look up.
Qibi He Li praised: "Looking at him, I am convinced that the Tang Dynasty will be invincible in the next fifty years. Old Liang, the Tang Dynasty will surely flourish."
"Of course!" Liang Jianfang looked at Jia Ping'an who was walking below the Jingguan, and said with a smile: "The old man just watched him struggle, from a broom star that everyone hates to now. He has gone through countless thorns. But... no After going through all this, where do you come from with confidence? Where do you come from with calmness?"
The sun poured down, shining on the Jingguan, and also shining on Jia Ping'an.
…
The end of the year is approaching, the emperor is very busy, and the women in the palace are also very slow, busy preparing for the new year.
In the palace.
Wu Mei was sitting on the stool, and a medical officer squinted his eyes to check the pulse, "Has Zairen's menstruation stopped recently?"
Wu Mei nodded, with joy in her eyes.
"Yes." The medical officer opened his eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, you are pregnant."
Wu Mei got up abruptly, and the palace servants beside her hurriedly supported her, "Don't move, you have a prince."
Several members of the palace congratulated each other.
At this time, it is time to pay.
Give the reward to the medical officer, Wu Mei turned around, "Go and report to His Majesty."
"I'll go now, slave girl." Zhou Qing ran fast.
Before this, Wu Mei was constantly fighting with Xiao Shi in the palace, Zhou Qing was just putting on airs and didn't work hard, but at this moment he ran extraordinarily courteously.
Once you have a child, you will have confidence.
This is the rule in the palace.
No children, if the emperor dies, you have to go to Ganye Temple for the rest of your life.
Wu Mei went in and sat down slowly.
In the bronze mirror in front of you, a luxurious woman is rejoicing.
"Cairen, Xiao Shi is here again."
Recently, the battle between Xiao Shi and Wu Mei is in full swing, and hands-on actions are also happening from time to time.
Wu Mei said flatly: "Don't fight back."
Everyone is puzzled...
Someone said: "Tairen, if we don't fight in the past, they will be ruthless."
Wu Mei lowered her eyes, "Am I a talented person, or are you a talented person?"
The man in that palace kept silent.
Later Concubine Xiao Shu rushed in with someone, and seeing Wu Mei sitting behind, she pointed at her and cursed: "Bitch, you said bad things about me yesterday, watch me smash your dog's head today!"
Wu Mei dodges, but her figure is very slow.
"Tairen!"
Some palace people exclaimed.
Concubine Xiao Shu continued to wave.
Snapped!
Wu Mei covered her face, and wept bitterly: "It's okay for you to harm me, but don't harm the child..."
Concubine Xiao Shu was stunned. At this moment, she felt that something was wrong, so she slowly turned to look sideways.
Li Zhi stood outside the gate, his face livid.
Concubine Xiao Shu looked at her right hand, then at Wu Mei who was covering her face, and cursed: "Bitch, how dare you harm me?"
As she spoke, she raised her hand again, ready to slap her face.
"Stop!"
Li Zhi strode in, first looked at the palm print on Wu Mei's face, and turned around, that face was full of anger, "Mr. Xiao is domineering, banned for ten days!"
In the palace, grounding is a signal that the emperor is dissatisfied with you.
"Your Majesty!"
Xiao said in disbelief: "This **** didn't say..."
"take away!"
At this moment, Li Zhi only has Wu Mei in his eyes.
Xiao kicked and beat his servant, turned around and pointed at Wu Mei and shouted: "You bitch, you must die! You must die!"
Wu Mei lowered her head, her eyes were indifferent.
Here is also hell. If you want to see the sun, you must abandon all your weaknesses.
"You have worked hard."
Since she entered the palace, Wu Mei has been dealing with Xiao Shi. From being bullied at the beginning, to now she has come and gone, which makes Li Zhi very satisfied.
Gritting his teeth, Xiao returned to his bedroom, smashing things all over the floor.
"Concubine Shu..."
A servant came in cautiously.
"What's the matter?" Concubine Xiao Shu turned around, if Li Zhi saw that ferocious appearance, he probably wouldn't be interested.
"Concubine Shu, Your Majesty has ordered that Wu Mei be Zhaoyi."
"He is like this?" Concubine Xiao Shu scolded with red eyes: "That **** is the late emperor's woman, what can she do? Shameless!"
Loud shouting.
A servant quietly looked around, then dawdled and disappeared, and appeared beside Wang Zhongliang later.
"Concubine Xiao Shu said Wu Cairen, no, it was Wu Zhaoyi who was the late emperor's woman, saying that Your Majesty... shameless."
"Understood." Wang Zhongliang patted the servant's shoulder, "Do it well."
Turning around, he went in and reported the words.
Li Zhi's eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't respond at all.
The matter of men and women is nothing to the old Li family!
Any taboo is useless.
This is also one of the reasons why the Shandong family looked down on the old Li family.
"Your Majesty, the Tuyuhun envoy has arrived."
Not only Tuyuhun, but also envoys from Goryeo, Silla, Baekje and other countries have arrived for the purpose of paying tribute.
Li Zhi stood up, "How about the Korean people?"
Immediately he laughed and said, "What's the use of asking you?"
Immediately he convened a meeting of the prime minister.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of Silla have sent a gift from Queen Jindeok."
"What gift?" Li Zhi smiled and was in a great mood.
Changsun Wuji coughed dryly, looking very awkward.
Uncle, what does this mean?
Queen Zhendeok gave me a gift, isn't he happy?
Li Zhi frowned, but the prime ministers all looked strange, which made him even more curious.
Li Ji said: "Your Majesty, Jin Famin, the envoy of Silla, is outside the hall."
"Let him in." Silla is now close to Datang, and although he still flirts with Wa, Li Zhi doesn't take it seriously.
Jin Famin came in and presented a gift.
The gift is a piece of brocade.
Li Zhi saw that there were words on it.
"The great Tang Dynasty opened up great achievements, and the majestic emperor prospered. Stop fighting and make uniforms, and revise literature to succeed hundreds of kings. Unify the sky and worship the rain, and the rational objects contain rules..."
Li Zhi read half of the five-character poem with hundreds of characters, and when he looked up, he blushed a little.
what does this mean?
Jin Famin didn't dare to look up, "Your Majesty, this is what the Queen did for Your Majesty."
This is wrong!
Li Zhi felt a little ambiguous.
Even Changsun Wuji coughed dryly, with a playful look on his face.
This is an unusual letter from Queen Zhende to Li Zhi. After listening to this, the courtier... felt a little embarrassed.
But... men conquer women by conquering the world, Li Zhi, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, really conquered Queen Zhende by conquering the world.
Queen Zhende's five-character poem made him feel very happy, and he said: "My heart is very comforting, Jin Qing..."
Jin Famin was ecstatic when he heard the words, knelt down and said, "Meet Your Majesty!"
Why do you have to kneel?
Because Li Zhi was talking about Jin Qing, this was his attitude towards his subjects.
Li Zhi smiled and said: "Jin Qing can be the Minister of the Taifu."
Happy everyone!
The envoys were happy in Chang'an, and Li Zhi was in a good mood, so he ordered Yousi to entertain the envoys with wine and food.
Jin Famin sat on his knees behind the table, looking at the food and drink in front of him, just tasting it. The entourage asked, "But isn't it delicious?"
Jin Famin shook his head, and said lightly, "Datang's wine and food seem to come from the hands of gods, but I prefer the simple tea and rice in Silla."
The entourage looked at him with admiration, "Yes! No matter how bad Silla's food is, it's still our food."
Someone came in and said in a low voice, "Yu Dainan has come out."
Jin Famin stood up, "Go and see."
Yu Dainan is an envoy of Goryeo, and now Goryeo is bowing his head to Datang, and Silla is quite worried about this.
"Baekje is colluding with the Koreans. If they join forces, Silla will be in danger."
A group of people went out, just as the man and the man came out, the two sides looked at each other, Jin Famin took a step back, with fear in his eyes.
Plagued in Tainan's heart, he thought Jin Famin was afraid of Goryeo, so he said with a sinister smile, "Are you going to flatter the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? It's a pity that you are not genuine, otherwise you can still... Hahahaha!"
The Korean people laughed loudly, and the Baekje envoys heard the sound, making it even more lively.
This is humiliating.
Because there were many envoys, Honghe Temple paid more attention to it. Zhu Tao, the Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, also came, ready to meet and talk with the envoys.
This is also the meaning of appeasement, and then each goes back to each house, each finds each mother, and maybe they will kill each other in a blink of an eye.
After hearing Yu Dainan's words, Zhu Tao took a step forward and said solemnly: "Your envoy be careful!"
The envoys of various countries are in Chang'an, and Datang has the responsibility to maintain the relationship.
But Yu Dainan drank too much, he squinted at Zhu Tao, and said with a smile, "What are you?"
Zhu Tao stretched out his hand, "Here comes the knife!"
The sergeant behind him drew out his horizontal knife and handed it over without hesitation.
Zhu Tao holds the knife and moves forward.
Jin Famin was overjoyed, feeling that this was a rare opportunity, but he didn't dare to offend the Koreans, so he couldn't help clenching his fists.
Yu Dainan shouted: "If I die in Chang'an, the whole country of Korea will be furious. How dare you?"
After the first emperor conquered Goryeo, the Goryeo people suddenly discovered that Tang's martial arts were far ahead of the former Sui Dynasty, and then they were beaten and went to the city to avoid the war.
Although they temporarily succumbed, the Koreans still think about the land in the north in their bones, and dream of defeating Datang.
Yu said what was in his heart after taking the man to drink, and then became even more angry, patting his chest with his bare hands, "Come on, kill me!"
The clamor made the envoys from various countries on the side click their tongues inwardly.
This is challenging Datang's authority!
To kill, or not to kill?
Killing them will anger the Koreans. Under the background of Datang's conquest of Ashina Helu, it is not in the interests of Datang to turn against Goryeo at this moment.
So everyone is watching the show.
Zhu Tao walked over with a blank face, and suddenly yelled: "Insulting the courtiers of the Tang Dynasty, behead!"
The long knife was raised, and then it was slashed.
Without any hesitation!
The messengers were stunned.
If Yu Dainan dies here, Liaodong will become a battlefield.
Jin Famin was secretly delighted, wishing that Tang and Goryeo would go to war again, which would relieve the pressure on Silla.
Yu Dainan held his head high, certain that Zhu Tao would not dare to do anything.
But the long knife came slashing, and there was no intention of stopping at first glance.
Tang people dare to kill the messenger?
Yu Dainan kneeled as soon as his legs softened.
The long knife passed over his head, his whole body was icy cold, the alcohol had already turned into cold sweat, and he shouted: "The minister is guilty!"
Zhu Tao retracted his knife and looked over with cold eyes.
All the envoys bowed their heads under this gaze.
