Chapter 400: Those who obey me are rampant, and those who oppose me perish (2)(1/2)
The idea is very good, very Ju Wentai.
In history, this guy was finally scared to death by Hou Junji because of his rat heads.
However, this time the situation is better than the one in history. At least his plan has not yet begun to be implemented, and there is still room for recovery.
As for the mirrors that Xue Rengui sent, to be honest, Ju Wentai didn't see them. The reason why he just snatched them from the ministers was mainly to leave a good impression on the Tang Dynasty and gain more benefits for himself.
Not to mention the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, the Tang people don’t know that there is no airtight wall in this world, let alone the monarch and ministers have almost quarreled with each other for a few broken mirrors. How could it not be spread?
Nearly a month passed in a flash, and before I knew it, it was already March.
However, March this year is different from previous years. Since the beginning of spring, Chang'an has suffered two light rains that have not even soaked the ground. The water level of Chang'an Bashui, which has passed by around the city, has dropped by several levels compared with previous years.
Li Er held a sacrifice to the sky in early March, but the effect was not great. Should God rain or not.
Therefore, the great Emperor began to miss a little carrot head who was far away from his hometown and was on a mission to the Western Regions.
Li Chengqian was attracted, and Li Er had hope: "Prince, is it okay over the Technical College?"
Li Chengqian acted as the new head of the Technical College, nodded and said, "Fortunately, it's just...it's a bit expensive."
The vague answer made Li Er a little annoyed, and he waved his hand and said, "Money is a trivial matter. I ask you, Yuan Tiangang and the others were working on that flying ball a month ago. How are you doing now?"
"Uh..." Li Chengqian scratched his head, showing an expression of embarrassment.
"What, but is there any problem?" Li Er frowned.
He had been looking forward to the hot air balloon for a long time, and was waiting to be made on the day that the hot air balloons would take off, showing that the Tang Dynasty was favored by gods and suppressing those who spread rumors everywhere that the Tang Dynasty was invading war and caused the punishment of the heavenly punishment.
Li Chengqian was stared at by the old man and had no choice but to tell the truth: "Father, the hot air balloon was made, and he tried it once three days ago..."
Halfway through, Li Chengqian stopped again, and hesitated and anxiously Li Erhuo went to the room and glared: "What the hell is going on? To be honest."
After the old man asked, Li Chengqian said distressedly: "Father, the hot air balloon is made, but the problem is that it is difficult to control, and it is easy to rise and fall down. On the day of the experiment, Lao Yuan specially got a pig worth more than 200 kilograms up, but it fell halfway. Father, you didn't see that scene. The pig fell like a frozen pear."
Pig and frozen pear? Li Er worked hard for a long time, but he couldn't connect these two completely different things. He gave up helplessly and said, "Since it has not been successful, then continue to study. In addition, what good solutions does the Technical College have for this severe drought?"
"Not yet." Li Chengqian shook his head decisively. This is not because he wants to shirk responsibility, but because there is really no way.
Li Er sighed: "Since that's the case, send a message to Li Dejian and ask him if he has any good solutions."
"Ah? Looking for him? What can he do? Besides, he must have arrived in the Western Regions now. Maybe he has started fighting with Tuyuhun."
"If you want to go, you can go, where are there so many problems?"
"I promise, my son will obey the order." Faced with the old man's willful actions, Li Chengqian had no choice but to agree to retreat.
...
In the Western Regions, Xue Rengui rushed forward and took several small Western Regions countries in one month.
Taking advantage of the power of the Tang Dynasty to pacify the Turks this time, they forced Kucha, Qiemo, Khotan and other countries to send more than 30,000 troops.
In mid-March, it gathered in the border area east of Qiemo State bordering Tuyuhun, plus the troops sent by Gaochang and other countries, with a total of 42,000 troops.
It didn't reach 50,000, but this is already very good. According to Li Hao's initial estimate, it would be great to deduct 25,000 people from these guys. Xue Rengui created more than 40,000 people in total, which is considered a great achievement.
But then again, there are more people and more things. More than a dozen countries gather together, and some countries still have grudges between each other and cannot implement orders.
Xue Rengui had a headache about this.
In his opinion, such a multinational force is no different from scattered soldiers and scattered soldiers. Not to mention fighting, it will be difficult to gather for less than one or two hours.
In the big tent for discussion, Xue Rengui sat in the main seat, and the commanders sent by the 18 countries were sitting or standing, dressed in different styles, as if a group of demons were dancing around.
"Cough!" Xue Rengui coughed dryly, attracting everyone's attention: "You are all experts in military tactics. I believe you should know that a saying is "Snakes cannot do without a head, and birds cannot fly without a head."
"What is the best opinion of the envoy? It's better to speak out." The general of the Kingdom of Khotan was a middle-aged and strong man in his forties. He spoke a plastic man with a rebellious face: "When we come here at the invitation of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, we will give you some face."
Why do you say this sound so annoying?
Xue Rengui rolled his eyes secretly, took a deep breath and said, "What General Khotan means is that as long as the general says, you will definitely do it?"
As everyone watched, the general of Khotan smiled with a hideous smile, which made people feel uncomfortable: "That's not necessarily the case. This time, I was the one who attacked Tuyuhun, and I sent the most troops to the point of being in charge of the affairs of the people, we Khotan must not be missing, right?"
"Fuck, you sent the most troops in Khotan? My Gaochang sent as many troops as 8,000, accounting for one-fifth of the total force. We haven't spoken yet, so how can you speak."
"Yutian is really a good plan. If you are in charge of the affairs, if you are in charge of the affairs, I don't know how many neighboring countries will be cheated by you. I don't care. I will never agree to let the affairs of the affairs of Khotan anyway."
"I also disagree with the fact that Khotan came to command the matter. The reason why we sent troops this time was entirely due to the honorary envoy, and no one except the honorary envoy was convinced."
Xue Rengui's head began to hurt again.
I only said one thing, and these guys have been arguing again. How can I do this?
If this continues, it is estimated that it is impossible to form combat power within half a month.
Sighing, Xue Rengui suddenly felt that he had been fooled by Li Hao. He was a martial artist. Why did he have to play with others with virtue? Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish? Isn’t it good to be able to convince others with strength?
It’s better to act than to move. The more Xue Rengui thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. His depressed expression began to become firmer, and he slapped the table with a 'bang': "Enough! They are not convinced by each other, right? That's easy to deal with. Everyone is a member of the industry, and there is no need to chat with anything, and the truth is revealed by fists."
The general of Khotan immediately agreed: "I agree. But the envoy, we must make some things in advance. The sword is without eyes in the battle. If the envoy causes any damage, I hope you don't take it to heart. And if I win, the envoy will be the master of the envoy..."
"If you can win, you will be the one who is in charge."
"No, no." Seeing that Xue Rengui was so hasty, several small countries that had a grudge against Khotan stopped doing it, they said, "We came for your sake. If you give up your position, I will not accept it."
"I think you think you are a little bitchy at a young age? Really, people in their decades are not as brave as a child." The general of Khotan was so arrogant that he had no respect for Xue Rengui in his tone.
Xue Rengui was depressed. As early as the day the army gathered, he didn't like the general in Khotan.
This man was not afraid of the top, and he did not have any respect for the Tang Dynasty. As soon as he arrived at the gathering place, he began to speak loudly, saying that he was here to help, rather than saying that he was here to make trouble.
Could this be the legendary pig-to-friend? Or... this guy is simply a spy sent by Tuyuhun. On the surface, he is here to attack Tuyuhun, but in fact he is trying to destroy this operation.
The more Xue Rengui thought about it, the more he felt it made sense. Even the eyes of General Khotan were filled with coldness.
You are awesome, are you? You didn't take me seriously, are you?
Since this is the case, don't blame me for being ruthless.
After picking up the Fang Tian Hua Ji beside him, Xue Rengui was the first to walk out of the big tent and come to the square outside the tent without saying a word.
The General of Khotan was the second, holding a long iron spear in his hand.
The rest of the people followed, and several guys with extraordinary strength were also carrying weapons.
All of these people came from countries with relatively powerful Western Regions and were all trying to win some benefits for their own countries.
From the invitation from the Tang Dynasty, small countries like them must give face. This is the general direction. When the general direction is consistent, the face of Xue Rengui, the young man, seems not that important.
Even if he really bullies him, as long as he can finally complete the task assigned by the Tang Dynasty, what can he do if he doesn't give this young man face, what can he do if he steals his position as the head coach? Anyway, the Tang Dynasty's goal has been achieved.
Although Xue Rengui is not old, he can also see from the attitudes of these people.
I had already felt a sense of anger in my heart, intending to teach these people from small foreign countries a lesson. At this time, I stood face to face with the general of the Kingdom of Khotan, and couldn't help but secretly make up my mind to establish my authority with this person.
The general of Khotan never took Xue Rengui seriously. In his opinion, the other party was just a child who was still young. He didn't know what war was. Instead of giving him the command of the army, it would be better to command it yourself.
At worst, after winning the battle, you can count the credit on this little guy.
In the open space, Xue Rengui carried his halberd and got on the horse. The general of Khotan opposite also rode his own war horse, danced with a flower in his hand, and asked proudly: "Empress, are you ready?"
"Come on." Xue Rengui's expression was slightly cold, and Fang Tian's painting halberd pointed to the ground.
The horse circled, and the two of them confronted each other for a moment, suddenly moving: "Go (drink)!"
Experts will know if there is any one.
While the two war horses were moving, the general of Khotan's face slightly sank, realizing that the boy opposite seemed not as ordinary as he imagined.
Everyone around who watched the battle also changed their faces.
They found that the little boy seemed to be no more moving than the general of Khotan, who had been struggling on the battlefield for many years. When the horses were activated, they were as quiet as virgins and as moving as rabbits. In almost the blink of an eye, they had already collided with the general of Khotan.
‘Bang’, gold and iron clash, and Mars are everywhere.
The moment Fang Tian's painting halberd collided with the long spear, General Khotan couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and his palms were slightly numb.
So much strength! I could hardly hold on.
While thinking about the challenge, two horses intertwined. General Khotan wanted to take back his long spear, and used the skill of the two horses to give Xue Rengui a back stab.
Unexpectedly, just as he used his arm, the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand twisted slightly. With a "click" sound, the long spear was locked tightly by the crescent moon of the Fang Tian Hua Ji.
The other party heard a loud shout: "Save it!"
A powerful force came, and it was not as if General Khotan had figured out what was going on. The long spear in his palm was flew out of his hand by a huge force, landing straight in front of the people watching dozens of feet away, less than two inches away from the toes of the person standing in front.
So fierce!
Sure enough, it’s not that the Raptors are not that the River is not that the Tigers are not that they will not be laid off.
No wonder people dared to bring about a hundred people to borrow soldiers at such a young age. With this skill, there were almost no one who could leave this person in the Western Regions.
The leading general sent by Gaochang had seen Xue Rengui's strange power in the palace. He was not surprised when he saw this situation and nodded slightly: "I knew it would be like this for a long time. Alas, heroes are young."
You know what a fuck.
I knew why I wouldn't say it earlier, and I had to wait for the general of Khotan to make a fool of himself before firing the hindsight here.
Everyone whispered, but the general of Khotan was already stupid. He tied his hands and let his mount run around with him.
He never expected that he, who was full of confidence, had never even walked through a move in the hands of a little boy.
To be continued...
