Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Lian Heng
Longyou, passing Liupan Mountain, passing through Jiuyangzhai, is Desheng Fort where Shang Boqian is now. A team of more than 50,000 people was on their way to Desheng Fort. This huge army has complicated weapons and various costumes. Some wear the clothes of the mountain people in the Bashu area, some wear ordinary Hanfu, some wear the armor uniforms of the Imperial Army of the Song Army and the Xiang Army, and many of them wear local clothes from Longyou. Tubo robes. Most of the war horses under their crotch are tall and strong Pan horses. Compared with the northern horses with long endurance and long endurance, the Pan horses in the Western Regions are taller and stronger, and they are more attractive. Their short-distance sprint ability is better than that of northern horses. It can be said that each has its own merits. Walking in the middle of the team were two leaders dressed in the armor of Song army generals. One was thin and his face was covered with fine pockmarks. Although his appearance was a bit ugly, his demeanor was dignified and majestic. With a battle-tested murderous aura, it is difficult for people to notice his flaws in appearance.The other general next to him was tall and strong, with ring eyebrows and leopard eyes, a beard like thorns, and he was as mighty as a fierce Zhang Fei. Accompanying them were two Tubo headmen, with black and red faces, sharp outlines like sharp knives, wearing leather robes, with knives slanted in their waists, and braids full of gold and silver jewelry, talking and laughing with them , hearty and generous, extremely heroic. This team is the Bashu Rebel Army led by Machete Xiaoliu and Tieniu. They traveled to several places and fought repeatedly. When they left Bashu, the 80,000 army has been reduced to 50,000. Although the number is small, they have been tempered by the battle. After training, the entire army has improved by more than one level compared to before in terms of fighting will and fighting ability. After Qi Wang Guangmei was inexplicably assassinated and died in Chang'an, they lost their assistance and intelligence cooperation, and their situation began to become difficult.However, the road back to Bashu in the south has been blocked by Luo Kedi's army, and the court soldiers also expected that if they fail, they may flee south and go back to Shu, so they have made various arrangements along the way. Falling into the heavy ambush of the court soldiers and horses. Under such circumstances, Hu Xi'er was able to build a bridge between them and Shang Boqian, so Xiaoliu led his army northward, entered Longyou, broke through the defense line of the Song army in Qinzhou, and fled into the territory of the Tubo people.Shang Boqian sent troops to fight with them, and the "defeated" Machete Xiaoliu surrendered and surrendered to Shang Boqian. At this moment, they were going to Desheng Fort to meet the overlord of Longyou . Desheng Fort was built halfway up the mountain, all built with huge stones, easy to defend but difficult to attack. At this moment, on the heights of Desheng Fort, there are two people looking into the distance, looking at a team rolling in like a long dragon. The person in front of him was tall and tall, with a broad forehead and a straight nose bridge. His purple-black face was shiny with oil, his whole cheeks were resolute and upright, his eyes were sharp and full of strength.His demeanor is wild and majestic and calm, and when he stands firmly on the top of the castle, he looks like an indestructible statue made of cast iron.This person is Shang Boqian, the overlord of Longyou. Half a step behind him, stood an ordinary-looking man in his thirties. Although he was also wearing a black robe similar to Chambo-Chin's, with one sleeve hanging casually by his side, he looked like a man. Han people, with shrewdness and slickness in their eyes, this person is the steward of Prince Qi's mansion, Zheng Xi'er, the successor to the Yinzong Zheng family, who wanders the world under the pseudonym Hu Xi'er. "Haha, good, good, there are fifty thousand elite soldiers, with this elite soldier in hand, looking at the whole of Longyou, no one is my opponent!" Shang Boqian watched the team getting closer and closer, and couldn't help showing a bit of joy. Hu Xi'er smiled and said: "Originally, this team was prepared for Zhao Guangmei. There are Dashan Pass in the west, Hangu Pass in the east, Xiaoguan Pass in the north, and Wuguan Pass in the south. It can be called the country of four fortresses, stable as Mount Tai; The eight rivers of water, Wei, Feng, Lao, Chan, Ba, Gao, and Ju go around Chang'an, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles away. As long as Zhao Guangmei takes the prince Defang to Chang'an and sets up a banner to crusade against Zhao Jiong, relying on the Long Right Chamber he has mastered The military force, coupled with this large army, only needs to guard the two gates in the east and south, and then they can stand firmly and compete with Zhao Jiong. At that time, I wanted Mr. Shang Boqian to cooperate from Longyou to assist him to proclaim the emperor and establish a country. Unfortunately, the fate is not there. In the end, this army made a wedding dress for Lord Shang Boqian. From this point of view, this destiny belongs to , should belong to Master Shang Boqian, who will dominate Longyou in the future, and his achievements should not be inferior to Yang Hao in Hexi. " Shang Boqian stroked his beard and laughed loudly, but when he thought of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo that had already been in his hands, he suddenly felt a little unhappy. He glanced at Hu Xi'er and said, "I heard that you and the Cui family had trouble? Your Zheng family has helped me a lot, but is there anything I can do for you? It's impossible for me to send troops to the Central Plains now." , but the 800 swordsmen I personally trained are not just heroes on the battlefield, if you need manpower, you just ask." A faint smile appeared on Hu Xi'er's face, and he bowed slightly and said, "Thank you Lord Shang Boqian, but you don't need to rely on your strength to fight against the Cui family." Leng Yi: "We only leaked some information to the Song court, and with the help of the Song court, it was severely damaged. Now, the Cui family's foundation in Qingzhou has been destroyed, and the court is hunting for the Cui clan everywhere. People, hum! Although they have good eyes and ears and escape very quickly, they can no longer show their faces in front of others in a grandiose way. We will make him pay the price if we are enemies of our Zheng family." At this time, there was a sound of footsteps and stopped not far behind the two, Shang Boqian turned his head and said, "What's the matter?" The man stroked his chest and said: "My lord, Wang Nizhu's big head defeated Luo Dan at Huining Pass, Luo Dan's troops fled to the west, Wang Rufeng, Di Haijing, Ba Sa, and Zhang Jun were ordered by Lord Wang Nizhu to pursue Liugu The Fan tribe entered the territory of Yeluohe, and was obstructed by the general of Yeluohe tribe. The four leaders smashed the camp of Yeluohe tribe in one fell swoop, but because of the delay, they failed to catch up with Dan. Yeluohe was furious and sent The envoy is accountable to the adults. Now the envoy is in the hall, and the lord Bald Tong is entertaining, and the villain is asking the adults for his opinions on how to deal with it." Shang Boqian smiled coldly: "Yeluohe's territory? The whole Longyou is mine. When will the west of Ningguan become his territory? Who assigned it to him? Hmph! I have tolerated him for a long time , He made an inch of it. Cut off the ear of his envoy, blasted out of my Victory Fort! Tell Wang Nizhu, reward Wang Rufeng, Di Haijing, Basa and other four people, what I need is this kind of courage to fight Talents!" Shang Boqian pointed down at the fort, and said triumphantly: "Go ahead and ask Ye Luohe to come and have a look. I have a sudden increase of 50,000 elite soldiers. With the group of mobs he brought in from Qinghai Lake, is it right?" My opponent! If he doesn't understand..." Shang Boqian's eyes sharpened, and a murderous look appeared on his face: "I, Shang Boqian, would not hesitate to fight until he was convinced!"
At the foot of Gaolan Mountain, Lanzhou City is not far away. In the dusk, the big and round red sun is slowly setting. Driven by the shepherds, the herds of cattle, horses and sheep gather from all directions like clouds to the temporary camp in the center.Cooking smoke curled up, piles of bonfires were lit on the grassland, and melodious songs wafted from the felt tents, accompanied by the mouth-watering aroma of meat. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it might be hard to believe that such a leisurely scene is actually a tribe that has just set up camp. This is the Liugu clan of Tubo. Luo Dan was defeated, and faced with Shang Boqian's growing power, he was already a little bit overwhelmed. Prince Chibangsong's tribe is not in Longyou, so the help to him is limited. In terms of force, he and Shang Boqian are still There is a considerable gap.However, he did not regret his choice. When he was in Hexi, his situation was no better than it is now. He had no fixed territory and never had one. The small Liangzhou couldn't accommodate so many people.Lingzhou in the east is dominated by the Dangxiang Qiang people, and Ganzhou in the west is dominated by the Huihe people. He cannot defeat the Dingnan Army, nor is he an opponent of Yeluohe in Ganzhou. In fact, without Yang Hao's support and help, he also wanted to go to Longyou to conquer the world, but he had more energy than he wanted. At this time, he got Yang Hao's help and was able to move to Longyou smoothly. As for what Yang Hao was thinking He didn't want to think about it, he knew very well that this was a kind of mutual use, he got what he wanted, Yang Hao got what Yang Hao wanted, each took what he needed. When he first arrived in Longyou, he developed very quickly, but with Shang Boqian's control and integration of Wang Nizhu, Tutong and other tribes, Shang Boqian's power became stronger and stronger. At the beginning, he gradually succumbed to the disadvantage, and this time he was defeated even more, and fled to the vicinity of Lanzhou. A good man with three gangs, Champaign has helpers, Rodin begins to realize that he can no longer fight alone, he also needs to find an ally. There was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the cattle and sheep that were rushing back to the camp one after another were like clouds blown away by a strong wind. In front of the big tent in the middle, I watched more than a hundred horses rushing towards me in the distance. Beside them, large pots and fire pits were set up on both sides of the yurt. The whole cattle and sheep were roasted golden and shiny, and the meat was full of fragrance. .Those people came closer, Rodin showed a friendly smile on his face, and led the tribal leaders forward, welcoming them warmly. Among the hundreds of war horses approaching was a slender old man wearing a striped robe and a crown on his head. This man was Rodin's old opponent. One overlord, the most powerful Ganzhou Khan Yeluohe.Long Yu Shoal, Tiger Luo Pingyang, Ye Luohe now seems to be in no better situation than him.Therefore, the former pair of life and death enemies are now very sincere, and they are about to form a brotherhood. The sky is full of stars on the grassland, and the evening wind in summer is a little dry.The people didn't enter the account, so they sat on the ground in front of the felt tent, toasting and drinking.The Tubo Liugu Fan tribe and Qinghai Lake Huihe tribes successfully joined forces under Gaolan in Longyou and became close comrades-in-arms. They believed that after this alliance, they already had the strength to compete with Shang Boqian capital. Drinking in a big bowl, cutting meat with a short knife, a pair of big hands full of calluses, stained with oil, Ye Luohe brought highland barley wine, and the wine jars piled up like a mountain, and the former enemies of life and death are now shoulder to shoulder, like flesh and blood that have not been met for many years My compatriots, I cannot be more gracious. Ye Luohe took a bite of the steaming Youzi's bloodshot mutton leg, took a sweat towel and wiped the juice from the corner of his mouth, then wiped his hands vigorously, brought a large bowl of wine, and said loudly: "Liugu Warriors of the feudal clan, today, I, Ye Luohe, became brothers with your leader Luo Dan. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the hardships, and we will be a family. Come, everyone, drink this wine!" Everyone responded one after another, stood up with their bowls up, and drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp. Luo Dan was still not satisfied. After drinking a bowl of wine, he lifted the wine jar, first filled Ye Luohe, and then filled himself with wine. They raised their palms like giant spirits and clapped them, and the girls who were singing and dancing immediately bowed down to salute and retreated slowly. "Everyone, from today onwards, our Liugu Clan and Yeluohe Khan are life and death brothers. With Yeluohe's full support, Shangbo is nothing to be afraid of. There will be no more Shangbo in Longyou in the future." Where Qian stands, our Liugu Fan tribe is willing to cooperate sincerely with Qinghai Huihe tribe, and wait for the day Shang Boqian bestows the head, divide the world equally, and form a brotherly state forever! Do it!" "On the day when Yang Hao bestows the head, my lord will share the world equally with you!" Princess Aguli walked with her hands behind her back under the moon in the garden, lingering in her mind from time to time what Li Lingxiao said, she did not expect that Li Lingxiao was actually sent by Li Jiyun, and now Li Jiyun has gained a firm foothold in Xiaoguan , it is true that he can send his troops northward at any time and enter Xiazhou, but can his strength be compared with Yang Hao's?Aguli felt that Li Jiyun must have something to do later, since he dared to assert so, he must have arranged manpower inside Yang Hao, and that force was the key to the outcome. "Yang Hao played with me in order to draw out the dissatisfied people in the Tuoba family, purify dissidents, and consolidate power. Unexpectedly... even my people jumped out. Su Erman has already hooked up with them It seems that he has never forgotten the hatred of killing his son! Can I hand him over? If I do this, the Guhun tribe will be at odds with me, and Hun Wen, who moved the Luoge tribe, will also love me. There is a heartache, and Ganzhou Huihe is divided into three parts of the world. At that time, there is no other way out except to rely on Yang Hao. But Yang Hao, is this person reliable? Will he cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey?" "But..., I can't hand him over, and I can't pretend to be ignorant and let him do what he wants. Do I really want to participate in it, against Yang Hao? It's good to hold my own destiny in my own hands, but Once it fails...Yang Hao will never tolerate a second betrayal. It is not a pity that Aguli dies alone. What should my thousands of people do? Buddha, I just want my people to live in peace and peace, you Show mercy and tell disciples, what should I do?" Aguli clasped her hands together, looked at the moon and prayed silently, suddenly, a figure quietly flashed not far away, standing there quietly, as if Aguli hadn't seen it, after silently praying, she asked, "What's the matter?" That was her personal maid, a companion who grew up with her since she was a child. The maid leaned forward and said, "Princess, King Yang Hao has come to Ganzhou secretly." Aguli asked in surprise, "What did you say?" "King Yang Hao came to Ganzhou in secret, and I invite you to meet tomorrow at the Dayue Clan site." Aguli was so shocked that her face turned pale, and she lost her voice: "Yang...Yang Hao, he came to Ganzhou?"
