Chapter 173 Chapter Six Love and Hate

Kou Zhongfu got off the carriage, and a burly man in a well-dressed suit came up to greet him and said, "Dingyang Khan's vanguard, Song Jingang, pays his respects to Brother Kou." Kou Zhong was at a loss when he heard that.He doesn't look like a Turkic person. Although he has a strong northern accent, his words are correct and round, and he is clearly an authentic middle-earth person.In addition to the four tough men who followed him, none of them looked like Turkic people, but they called their master why the mother's Khan, and said in surprise: "I have heard of Shibi Khan and Chuluo Khan. , Jieli Khan, or even Tuli Khan who just came to Luoyang, but he has never heard of Dingyang Khan, isn’t Brother Song a Turkic who changed his Chinese name?”

His words can be said to be blunt, because he thought he had fallen into Yun Yuzhen's trick and stepped into the trap set by the Turkic people. Unexpectedly, Song Jingang was not angry, and smiled, "Brother Kou misunderstood! My lord Liu Wuzhou was only named Khan by the Turkic people, but he is not a Turkic man." Kou Zhong thought to himself that he was the running dog of the Turkic people.At the same time, I was surprised. According to what Yun Yuzhen said just now, he would not be surprised even if he saw Li Zitong here.But what he saw was the irrelevant person in front of him, but he was completely confused.

Yun Yuzhen and Bu Tianzhi came to both sides of him respectively, and said forward: "It's raining here, why don't we talk in detail inside the house!" Song Jingang also made a gesture of respectful invitation, while Kou Zhong became curious and felt that the other party had no malicious intentions, so he happily walked towards the gate. As Bardele grows up, she has more mature charm that she didn't have before, and also lost her previous innocence. When Ba Fenghan heard that Badel was going to kill him, his face was as calm as a rock without any fluctuations, and he said indifferently: "Daier, go back! This is not a place for you, Badel only belongs to the big family under the snow-covered mountain peaks. grassland."

Badelle said softly: "The day I put your head in my luggage is the day I go back." After staring at her for a while, Ba Fenghan suddenly shouted: "Tuli, don't you dare to show yourself?" A cold snort came from the depths of the bamboo forest on the left, and then a muscular man about 30 years old, dressed in Han Chinese casual clothes, came out leisurely, stopped about 20 paces to Ba Fenghan's left, with short shorts in his hands The carbine is received behind the back, and the head of the gun is erected obliquely on the left shoulder. The shape is extremely powerful, and the demeanor and posture give people a feeling of perfection.

Ba Fenghan didn't need to look at it to know that there was a vulture cast in the handle of his carbine, which was forged by a famous Persian craftsman.In Turkic, this "Falcon Spear" which symbolizes his martial arts has been widely known, and the enemy is terrified when he hears about it. When Ba Fenghan was caught up by him in the desert back then, he suffered a lot from his eagle gun. Fortunately, a sandstorm reversed the situation and made him not only Tuli's mortal enemy, but also a love rival. identity. If it wasn't for Badeer being a relative of Chuluo Khan, Zhao Deyan's beloved disciple, and having a deep attachment to Tuli, Badeer would have been executed long ago to abolish the most unbearable shame of the Turkic people.

The eyes of the two men met, like two bolts of lightning colliding in the air, not giving in to each other. Like Ba Fenghan, Tuli was a typical strong Turkic man. Although he was not as handsome as Ba Fenghan, with a rough outline and hair like wire, he still had a tough and vigorous masculinity. He is not very old, but the thick dark skin on his face and the multiple scars on his left cheek show that he has experienced hard years and a dangerous front.His eyes were sharp and cold, but he didn't show any hatred, which showed the secretiveness of a master and the profound cultivation of martial arts.

After staring at each other for quite a while, Tu Li showed a cold smile, and said lightly: "A mere horse thief can make us work hard, Ba Fenghan, you are also proud." He spoke Turkic, but Ba Fenghan responded with a smile in Chinese: "The reason why we became small horse thieves is thanks to the gift of you big horse thieves. The strong is king, this is an eternal truth. Let us now Let someone teach you your eagle-subduing marksmanship, so that we can complete our unfinished battle last time." Tu Li laughed, and said in a deep voice in Chinese: "When you are about to die, you still dare to speak wild words."

Turning to Badelle, he said, "Dai'er, haven't you been waiting for this day for many years? Now I will stand for you and let you." Badelle interrupted him coldly: "You promised me not to come." For the first time, anger flashed across Tuli's eyes, and then he retracted it, and said in a gentle voice that completely violated his character: "I care about you!" Badelle said fiercely: "With you present, I will never do anything." Don't look at the two of them again, and walk away. Neither of them could guess this change, first they looked at each other, and then they remembered that the other was their sworn enemy.

"Clang"! Ba Fenghan's Zhanxuan sword came out of its sheath, while Tuli's Eagle Spear moved back to the front, held with only one hand, the point of the spear pointed at the opponent, his left hand was behind his back, his posture was calm and beautiful. Ba Fenghan took a step forward, crossed his sword with his left hand, and a gust of bitter sword energy blew towards Tuli like a gust of wind. Tu Li looked up to the sky with a long smile, the Vying Spear in his hand trembled endlessly, and issued a "Chi! Chi!" spear force, which knocked Ba Fenghan's sword energy into a wild flow.

Confused by the two forces of energy, the rain turned into a cloud of mist that scattered in all directions, enveloping the two of them, creating a marvelous scene. Ba Fenghan returned his right hand and took the initiative to attack. When Kou Zhong, Yun Yuzhen, Bu Tianzhi and Song Jingang sat down in the hall, Kou Zhong focused his attention on this general under Liu Wuzhou. Although Song Jingang's body was sturdy and powerful, he had a slender and delicate face, which seemed a little small in proportion to his broad shoulders, but it was enough to emphasize his extraordinary physique.

On the long face, there are a pair of clever, but slightly melancholy eyes and a sentimental mouth. At this time, his expression was calm and calm, which made people feel that he was a man who kept his mouth shut, did not reveal his details easily, and was a wise and brave man. Kou Zhong couldn't help feeling a little fond of him. Song Jingang made a gesture, and the subordinates who served them the tea immediately retreated completely, leaving only the four of them in the hall with a simple layout that feels like a "temporary appointment". The atmosphere became serious. Yun Yuzhen, who was always smiling and affectionate, also suppressed her smile. Song Jingang stared at Kou Zhong with admiration for a long while, then laughed and said, "Brother Kou is worthy of being a hero today, he only used a few tricks to change the situation in the north, and now we know the praises of Brother Kou in the world, Not an exaggeration." Kou Zhong smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence that Kou happened to meet him. Does Brother Song have something important to ask? Why don't you speak up." Bu Tianzhi showed a friendly smile, and praised: "Master Kou's diction is getting better and better!" Kou Zhong was touched for a while, remembering that in the past Bu Tianzhi only regarded him and Xu Ziling as two idiots who could be used, but now he was shouting at the front and back of Mr. Kou. This change made him feel a little unreal. Song Jingang said calmly: "Before negotiating important matters, please allow me to inquire about the relationship between Brother Kou and Wang Shichong. Brother Kou, please forgive me for speaking out." Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "You're so frank, even I don't know what the relationship with Wang Shichong is? I'm afraid it's just 'mutual use'." Yun Yuzhen frowned lightly and said: "Wang Shichong is an old fox, you little fox should be eaten carefully." Song Jingang said with a smile: "It's really fun talking to brother Kou, and I don't want to go around in circles anymore. Among the heroes in the world today, the invincible Li Mi is the leader in terms of power, but Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei are the most powerful in terms of strength. On the other hand, does brother Kou agree to this fallacy?" Yunyu was really surprised and said: "Li Migang defeated Yu Wenhuaji's 100,000 elite soldiers, but why the strength fell behind Dou Jiande and Du Fuwei?" Song Jingang glanced at Kou Zhong, smiled and said, "Brother Kou's expression shows that he is the most familiar with the situation, why don't you let Brother Kou talk about it!" Kou Zhong felt that Song Jingang was a very difficult person, because he had just arrived in Luoyang not long ago, and he was able to accurately grasp Li Mi's military situation, so he could deduce other things from this. He said indifferently: "The reason is very simple. Just from the fact that Wang Shichong dared to enter Yanshi with 20,000 troops and put on a high posture of threatening the tiger prison, it can be deduced that although Li Mi won Yu Wenhuaji, it was a disastrous victory. But the old man When Du attacked Jingling, he also lost troops and generals, so how can he still be compared with Dou Jiande?" Song Jingang replied: "The difference between Li Mi and Du Fuwei is that one wants to buy people's hearts, and the other just wants to win by whatever means. Therefore, the former adopts the recruitment system, while the latter forces civilians to join the army from the beginning. Therefore, Du Fuwei Whenever the supply of soldiers can be replenished in a short period of time, as long as the weapons, food and horses can be dealt with in all aspects. The disadvantage of this method is that the soldiers are mixed and not skilled, and the morale is loose. However, under the suppression of Du Fuwei's strict means, in general There will be no troubles." Every word he said penetrated deeply into Kou Zhong's heart, because Du Fuwei's people went to the countryside to enlist in the army that day, so he met Su Su and Li Jing. Song Jingang finally added: "Although Du Fuwei is very powerful, in my opinion, he is a man without great ambition." When Kou Zhong was stunned when he heard this, Bu Tianzhi asked in surprise, "Why does General Song think so?" Song Jingang snorted coldly and said, "Those with great ambitions, how can they be so short-sighted and only care about the current interests." Yun Yuzhen interrupted and said: "Then Li Mi should be regarded as a man of great ambition, just look at his methods of buying people's hearts to see one or two." Song Jingang laughed and said: "Li Mi is indeed a man with great ambitions, but he is too narrow-minded, and he can't tolerate any concessions; he also issued an order from Pushan to hunt down Brother Kou and Brother Xu, but in the end, stealing chickens is not enough to return money. Losing prestige is not a problem, but the biggest disadvantage is that it creates two strong enemies." Kou Zhong hastily backed down, and couldn't help but think more highly of Song Jingang because of his insight and judgment.He couldn't help but asked casually: "So expensive, hey! What kind of khan should be the most ambitious person! But is it a long-term strategy to take refuge in Turkic?" Song Jingang sighed and said, "Even if Li Yuan is guarding the pass, he still has to submit to the Turks. What's more, we are next to the Turks. This is an expedient measure, and we have no other choice." Then he changed the subject and said: "As far as I know, Li Shimin's Shangce Institute is intending to revise the old law of the Sui Dynasty. The new tax system is called the Zuyong Adjustment Law. It is about two stones per penny, two pieces of silk, three liang of cotton, Serving for twenty days, if you don’t do it, you can fold three feet of silk every day, which is simple and easy, but once you get rid of the bad government of the previous dynasty, this is called ambitious, not just focusing on the present.” Kou Zhong was very vigilant. The understanding of the political system is my weakest link. It seems that I have to learn from Li Xiaozi to build a fucking government and formulate political laws. At least it can give people the impression of "great ambitions". No wonder Shi Feixuan wanted to choose Li Xiaozi, she really felt a little late in her start, and her insight was also a bit lacking. If Song Jingang's martial arts were as brilliant as his vision, he must be a first-class master. At the same time, he was a little confused, not sure why Song Jingang came to him through Yun Yuzhen? He couldn't help frowning and said: "Brother Song still hasn't said what the purpose of looking for me Kou Zhong is." Song Jingang asked calmly, "Brother Kou, do you want to take back Jingling?" Kou Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I want to think about it to death. But there are a few more urgent things to do, and the situation is even more unacceptable. I have to wait for a while to think about this issue." Song Jingang said in a deep voice: "There is no delay in the battle of military strategists. How can we wait for a long time. Now the situation is clear and clear. The decisive battle between Li Mi and Wang Shichong is imminent. No matter who wins or loses, it will inevitably hurt the vitality. In this case, as long as Du Fuwei breaks Li Zi After acquiring Jiangdu, Tong will go north along the canal along the old road of Yu Wenhuaji. The only difference is that since Du Fuwei has the entire Jianghuai as backup, there is no danger of food shortages. Brawl?" Kou Zhong was stunned and said, "You seem to have missed the Li family in Guanzhong and King Xia Dou Jiande!" Song Jingang Zhizhu said leisurely, "Xue Ju, the overlord of the new Qin Dynasty, was defeated by Li Shimin last time. I can just sit and watch Du Fuwei show off his might. As for Dou Jiande, he can’t defeat Yu Wenhua and Xu Yuanlang in one day, and he doesn’t dare to go south rashly. When will it be his turn to force the Eastern Capital.” Hearing Yu Wenhuaji's name, Senhan's murderous intent flashed across Kou Zhong's eyes, and he snorted coldly, "Xue Juruo attacks Chang'an, what big plans does Brother Song have?" Song Jingang's eyes shone brightly, and he said with a smile, "Of course we're going to go straight to Li Yuan's lair and cut him off." Yun Yuzhen and Bu Tianzhi lost their voices at the same time: "Taiyuan!" Kou Zhong's heart was shocked, he fully grasped Song Jingang's strategy, and felt Song Jingang's extraordinary means more deeply. Li Xiaozi is in trouble today. When the swords and guns collided, there was a crisp and sharp sound of "choke", and the two separated quickly. The rain powder is still endlessly floating down on the garden with towering bamboo trees. Don't look at Ba Fenghan's sword that seems to be going all out, but in fact it is purely probing. Both of them were secretly surprised. Tu Li was confident that he would be able to defeat this love rival, because he had already surpassed him in the past, and in recent years, he had received many pointers from Bi Xuan and Zhao Deyan, and he had repeatedly made breakthroughs. It was very light, but just now when they fought each other with a move, they couldn't even eliminate and fight, and if they grabbed the attack, they knew that Ba Fenghan had completely caught up with him. Ba Fenghan was also stunned. He secretly thought that if he hadn't had the help of He Shibi, he would never be able to please him today. But now who wins and who loses is still unknown. As the Zhanxuan sword flicked against the wind, Ba Fenghan's heart surged with unstoppable confidence, and the fierce sword energy immediately permeated the ten-foot-square space in the forest. However, the tip of Tuli Fuying's spear was shaking, faintly sealing off all his attacking routes, so that he still didn't dare to cross the threshold for a while. Tuli is a rare genius in martial arts among the Turkic royal family. After he comprehended the art of war, he created an extraordinary skill that focuses on yin and yang, virtual reality, existence and non-existence, and integrates with the wonderful principles of nature. Back then in the Battle of the Desert, Ba Fenghan was stabbed three times because he couldn't grasp the path of his spear, and fell into a bloody and bitter battle. Tu Li showed a disdainful smile, mockingly said: "Are you scared?" Ba Fenghan couldn't help but build up his momentum, he heard the words and said: "You have come here suddenly, so you are so far away to dance with a gun and stick a stick? You will laugh to death if you say it." Of course, Tu Li would not attack impulsively just because of a few words, and said with a sneer, "Ba Fenghan, you are not an outsider, but who is ridiculous when you say such an outsider?" Raindrops floated on his face and hands, making him feel cool.Ba Fenghan calmed his mind, stepped forward, and made a "Pu Pu" sound under his feet, with a strong momentum, he rushed straight towards Tuli. Under the traction of Qi, Tuli moved half a step to the left, and the Eagle Spear in his hand turned into a sharp light, stabbing obliquely with lightning speed, and the angle was wonderful, just one step earlier than Ba ​​Fenghan's attacking route at this time. opponent. The Falcon Spear brought a roll of rain powder, adding to its astonishing momentum. With Ba Fenghan's ability, he still didn't expect him to change his attack and replace his defense with such precise timing, his counterattack was so sharp, and his spear was so natural. Ba Fenghan was actually forced to take a defensive position, shifted his position, turned his sword and hit the spear head. "Zheng"! Tu Li burst into a long laugh, and the spear unfolded. In the blink of an eye, he stabbed three times in a row. The angle of each spear changed slightly according to Ba Fenghan's reaction. It was unparalleled in ferocity. Ba Fenghan blocked three shots in a row with a "choke choke", and then the Zhanxuan sword turned into a net of light, and took advantage of the moment when Tuli changed his move to attack overwhelmingly. For a moment, the sword light and gun shadow completely enveloped the two of them. The falling rain powder, stimulated by energy, splashed in all directions like a fountain. "when"! The tip of the spear pierced the blade. Unable to move, the two separated quickly. There was a sound of applause. The two still stared at their opponents, not daring to be distracted. At this time, more people came out from the pavilion, and they sat on the fence of the pavilion with a carefree smile and said: "Khan's sword-breaking and spear skills are really extraordinary, and it should be a sure chance of victory, but to save some time, why not let me, Li Shentong, do it too?" As an accompanying guest, wouldn't it be more enjoyable for us to drink together after this little thief is dealt with?" Ba Fenghan was stunned in his heart. Li Shentong is Li Yuan's younger brother, but his prestige in the Jianghu is more than that of his elder brother. He is good at using the three-handed halberd, which can be chopped, pecked, cut, and stabbed in countless changes, and his reputation spreads across the north.If he disregarded the rules of the world and joined forces with Tuli, he would have no choice but to break through and escape. Tu Li looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "It's not easy to drink, so I won't fight today!" Ba Fenghan and Li Shentong were astonished.
