Chapter 451: Money or life

Chapter 451: Don’t Want to Live

Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were still laughing in the car, and suddenly heard the servant in front say that there was a tree standing on the road. Fang Xuanling opened the car window, looked forward, and asked, "What's going on? The tree standing on the road?"

Wang Wendu opened another car window, looked at the road, and said, "What a big tree, it doesn't look like it was blown down by the wind!"

The attendant came back on a horse and said, "Master, there is a big tree in front of him that has been cut down, crossing the road, blocking the road tightly and unable to get through!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Can that tree be moved away?"

The attendant shook his head and said, "Young people cannot move it away. It takes at least dozens of people to move it away."

Wang Wendu suddenly said: "No, such a big tree must not be blown down by the wind, and the tree strips are thick, not a dead tree! Hurry up, go and see if the tree was cut down and how long it took!"

Fang Xuanling whispered and said, "Is there a robber who blocked the road? It's not too far from Yumen Pass or Guazhou. How dare the robbers be so bold that they actually robbed here!"

Wang Wendu said with a sneer and said, "The more you think something can't happen, the more things happen. I hope it's not a robber!"

The attendant agreed and ran forward again. But before he could reach the big tree, he heard a gong sound in the forest and walked out of a strong man.

The leader of a man with a yellow beard, speaking in a strange accent, said, "No need to look at it. It was just chopped down. Just when you were three miles away, grandpa cut it down!"

This group of men were all wearing sheepskin robes, and they were all tall and strong, and they were no worse than the most elite Turkic soldiers. Some of these strong men carried giant axes in their hands, some carried Turkic scimitars, and some even held the Tang soldiers' standard horizontal swords!

Although they were dressed in a messy and messy manner, they were equipped with all kinds of weapons, but the tips of the weapons were shining with cold light. Without having to try their necks, they also knew that they were extremely sharp. It was obvious that these people were just relying on the guys in their hands to make a living!

Fang Xuanling said ah and sat back into the car, thinking, "Oh no, you are really a robber!" He suddenly remembered that there was a group of giant thieves nearby, which could not even be wiped out by Gu Lantian. His name resounded throughout the Western Regions, and that was the Zheliu Thief!

Wang Wendu closed the car window and whispered: "Sir Fang, this time I am so embarrassed. We are both officials of the court, but we were blocked by robbers here. I think this group of people is difficult to deal with!"

Fang Xuanling was so angry that he was so angry. What food did local officials do? In broad daylight, the world was bright and bright. Between the two important frontiers, there was a disaster. The one who was robbed was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. It was simply outrageous!

The yellow-bearded man carried the giant axe on his shoulder and said, "There is no need to discuss countermeasures in the car, and it is useless to discuss any more. Grandpa just relies on doing this industry to make a living. Grandpa knows very well what you think, get off the car quickly!"

Fang Xuanling's face turned pale and asked, "If you want to move hard, can you rush over and fight back these robbers now?"

Wang Wendu opened the window again, looked forward, retracted his head, and said, "I guess it can't be repelled. There are at least 200 robbers, and maybe there are still people behind us, blocking the way back!"

Then the yellow-bearded man said again: "Don't count, there are 250 people behind grandpa, and there are 250 people behind you, a total of 500 people. You are 32 people, thirty people outside, two in the car, one is called Fang Xuanling and the other is called Wang Wendu!"

As soon as he said this, Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were shocked. How did this robber leader know their details? Since he knew, he still dared to block the road? Will he rob the important officials in the court?

The two of them understood just in a daze that their flags were held by the guards. As long as the robbers pay attention, they will know after a little inquiry!

Wang Wendu said: "Sir Fang, it's a bad thing. These people dare to attack us when they see our flag. This shows that they are not afraid of officers and soldiers, and they may be rebels!"

Fang Xuanling handled political affairs and ordered the suppression of rebels. That was absolutely fine. But if he was robbed by rebels, he would have no choice but to have no soldiers in his hands. How to suppress it?

The yellow-bearded man said again: "Prime Minister Fang, General Wang, don't be afraid. Grandpa, I... I'm here, it's me. I didn't plan to cut you two. I just wanted to invite you to visit me and enjoy the scenery of the desert. There is no other meaning! If you two know the appearance, follow us now. If you don't know the appearance, then commit suicide now. Anyway, you don't have to think about it if you pass by us safely!"

It's not a big deal to stay in the car like this. The crisis in front of you must be resolved. Fang Xuanling coughed, opened the car door, got out of the car, and dusted his robe. He said, "This hero, what's wrong with doing now? Why do you want to be a thief? Why do you listen to my advice and surrender to the court. I can guarantee that you have a place in the government army and your subordinates have good arrangements. Isn't this the best of both worlds? Why not do it?"

The yellow-bearded man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll do as you said. Let's go there first, drink a pot of wine, cook some meat slices, and discuss what kind of tricks you plan to help you. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Why not do it?"

Fang Xuanling frowned and thought to himself: "It seems that this matter cannot be stopped. We have to send someone out to report the news!" He turned his head and shook his eyes at the attendant leader. The attendant leader's face changed and he blinked with difficulty to show that he understood.

"I dare to ask this hero, who is your name and what do you call him? I, Fang Xuanling, is General Wang Wendu in the car. He is inconvenient in his legs and feet, so he won't get off." Fang Xuanling asked.

The yellow-bearded man laughed and shook his head and said, "Prime Minister Fang, you are confused. Since I have become a thief and have done this insulting thing to be a ancestor, how can you tell you the name? What you asked is really unnecessary!"

He took the giant axe in his hand off his shoulder, pointed to the convoy, and said, "Don't talk about gossip, and don't talk nonsense. Children, take them down and catch them alive. These people are all fat sheep!"

The strong men behind him had been impatient for a long time. When they robbed, they always robbed them when they went up, so they would not talk to the fat sheep and waste time!

The strong men all put on their weapons, howling, and rushed towards the convoy!

Fang Xuanling shouted, "If you don't leave now, when will you wait!" He waved to the attendant leader and told him to escape quickly!

The attendant leader understood and did not fight with the robbers. He rushed into the woods with a war horse!

The yellow-bearded man shouted, "That man is going to bring reinforcements. Don't let him go, catch him!" More than a dozen big men screamed, rushed into the woods and chased after him.

The attendants next to the convoy waved their weapons and rushed up to fight. They were all the personal guards of Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu. They were always brave and could never retreat in the face of battle. Not to mention that there were only about 200 robbers, even if there were more than 20,000 enemy troops in front, they would still rush forward!

With just a few meetings, the servants killed and injured more than a dozen strong men. None of them were injured. Instead, they were energetic and protected by the car and shouted loudly to fight!

Seeing this, the big yellow-bearded man cursed a few times and shouted: "Draw the net, everyone is a gentleman, and there is no need to use a knife or a gun!"

Wang Wendu came out of the car, holding a sword in his hand, and cursed: "You thief, you actually said that you are a wise man. Whoever moved the sword and gun first? You can't beat it before you say..."

Before he could finish talking, he saw more than a dozen big nets throwing over them together, and immediately covered them!

The attendants are very brave, and killing is no problem, but if they are caught as fish, they will be useless. Whether they are brave or not is useless!

I don’t know what the strong men did before. Maybe they were fishermen and had great ability to cast nets. They spread more than a dozen large nets and even covered all the attendants. They didn’t run out, and even covered the war horses in the net!

The strong men shouted in unison, pulled them hard, pulled them all down, rushed up, grabbed them one by one, wiped their shoulders and tied them all up, and even Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were not spared. The two brothers were tied up with four legs together!

Fang Xuanling and Wang Wendu were furious. This insult was really unbearable and improper. The faces of important officials of the court were gone. They shouted angrily in unison and ordered the yellow-bearded man to make it clearer. If they did not loosen their ties, be careful that they would not even have the chance to attract peace in the future!

The yellow-bearded man smiled and said, "Get a favor, just be happy." Then his face darkened and he said viciously: "My grandfather's father was recruited by your Tang Dynasty. What's the result? The country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. You Central Plains people have no faith, which is the most hateful!"

Wang Wendu was dizzy and didn't react. He didn't know what he was talking about. But Fang Xuanling shouted: "Are you a royal family in Gaochang? A remnant of the Qu family?"

The yellow-bearded man glared at his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Religion? Okay, curse well, I'll let you scold me! Come on, block their mouths so that they won't commit suicide. I want them to taste my Religion's means!"

The strong men pulled off their clothes, blocked their mouths, and threw them into the car. Without stopping, the yellow-bearded man greeted his subordinates, drove the convoy away from the forest, and rushed to the distance.

Yumen Pass.

The city gate was wide open, and the Turks lined up to walk out of the city gate and headed towards Zheliu County.

As Fang Xuanling expected, Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian did not fight at all, but instead became good brothers. They sat on the city wall with a table in front of them, with a big bowl of wine and a large piece of meat on the table. They were celebrating me, and I was celebrating you and having a lot of fun!

Fang Xuanling only knew one thing, but not the other. If it were normal, he was right. Wang Ping'an sent Di Renjie to negotiate with Gu Lantian to induce Gu Lantian and Wang Wendu to bite the dog. Wang Ping'an used the trick of marrying two husbands to fight back with one move from the other side of the river to watch the fire, waiting to see Wang Ping'an and Gu Lantian fight each other.

However, before Wang Ping'an sent Di Renjie, he didn't send Asina Qi Boer! One plan doesn't work, so let's use the second plan to set the court's food and grass. Anyway, everyone is given the food and grass, so why don't it fall into his own army!

Wang Ping'an was generous and insisted on allocating 10,000 elite soldiers to Gu Lantian. Gu Lantian was embarrassed. He couldn't afford to have too many troops. If the Ministry of Revenue felt that it was too much, it would be arguing. The food and grass would not be easy to get. He only needed Wang Ping'an to assign 6,000 people to come. One and a half battalions of troops were divided in name only, and it was not actually obtained. As for the food and grass, Wang Ping'an got 70% and Gu Lantian got 30%!

However, Wang Ping'an once said that as long as Gu Lantian could pour him under the table, he could divide it by 10%. So Gu Lantian simply set up a banquet, and the two of them sat on the city tower, chatting and seeing who could drink and lie down!

This wine was drunk from dawn to darkness, and the Turks left the pass, and joined the troops of Asunaqiboer, and rushed to Zheliu County overnight. Neither of them finished drinking!

Gu Lantian's face was flushed and his tongue was wide open, and he said, "I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I..." With a wow, he held the table and vomited.

Wang Ping'an also smelled of alcohol. Before drinking, he took some pills he had prepared before, specifically for quenching alcohol, but not after drinking, but before drinking. Although it could not be worth thousands of cups, it was not a problem to deal with water and wine. But then again, no matter how much he could drink more, he would feel uncomfortable after drinking!

Wang Ping'an patted Gu Lantian's back and said, "You're convinced, don't accept it, don't accept it, let's continue!"

Gu Lantian kept vomiting. Wang Ping'an slapped him. His body became soft and he fell under the table. He couldn't say anything. His body was covered with vomit, dirty and unpleasant.

Wang Ping'an waved his hand at Tang Bing and said, "Help your governor go back to rest. When he wakes up, tell him, I'll leave and see him in two days. What's going on will be discussed at that time, so don't worry."

As he spoke, he stood up staggeringly. Di Renjie and Ouyang brothers hurriedly stepped forward to help each other, helped him down the city tower, and took a car to Zheliu County.

Zheliu County is not far from Yumen Pass, and the boundary of Yumen Pass can almost be mentioned, followed by Zheliu County. However, because the area outside the pass is vast, it was impossible to get to the county town that night. The Turkic brigade reached the middle of the night and set up a camp and rush it to dawn tomorrow.

After Wang Ping'an entered the tent, he lay down for a while and felt uncomfortable. He called two little girls and helped him out of the tent, vomited violently, drank some clean water, and then went in to rest again.

Under Yumen Pass.

At midnight, a man rode his injured war horse to the city gate and shouted, "Open the door, I want to see the Grand Governor Gu. I am the servant of the Prince Fang. Something happened to our master!"

This man was Fang Xuanling's servant leader. He entered the woods to escape and successfully escaped the robbers chasing behind him. However, as soon as he left the woods, he was forced to escape by the robbers outside the forest.

The yellow-bearded man was prepared in advance. Because the forest was close to Guazhou, he arranged a large number of people to go to Guazhou. In fact, the 250 reserve robber he mentioned was not ambushed behind the convoy, but ambushed in Guazhou, and shot the guard leader!

If the guard leader turned around and ran back and forth, he could escape directly. However, when he was frightened by the yellow-bearded man, he thought there was really a blockage behind him, so he ran towards Guazhou. Although he escaped, he was injured.

Tang Bing on the city shouted, "Who are you? The city gate has just been closed and will not be opened again tomorrow morning. Please wait!"
