It was getting further and further away from Chang'an, and it was already twenty days later when Yunhao received his son's letter. This is still the efficiency of airships. Even in summer, airships cannot take off every day. This thing is greatly affected by the seasons!
When the airship arrived, Yunhao had already captured Shule!
This time Yunhao did not let the beards kill people because the city lord of Shule was a very far-sighted guy. He took great care of the remaining Tang people in the city, and his status was similar to that of the giant pandas of later generations.
So much so that Yunhao wanted to kill him and handed the document into the city, but what came out was hundreds of Tang people from the city. They knelt at Yun Hao's feet and begged Yun Hao to pardon the city lord who was full of affection for Datang.
Yunhao looked at the guy named Xerxes who was kneeling at his feet and kissing his boots. This guy has a brown face and curly black hair that looks like an African brother. It¡¯s hard to tell what race this guy belongs to based on his skin color. Yunhao judged that this guy should be an Arab.
Because many Arabs of later generations are white. But they are not white at all. This may have something to do with the hot weather in the Middle East.
"Dear Duke, Xerxes is willing to be your most loyal servant. He will fight with you and be your knife. Wherever you swing your arm, Xerxes is willing to cut off the head of any enemy for you." The strong Xerxes knelt at Yunhao's feet, with very clear muscle lines on his back.
"Can you speak Tang Dynasty dialect?" Yunhao was very surprised by this guy's flawless Chang'an Mandarin. You know, this place in the Western Region is full of tribes. Almost a hundred miles away, it may be the same language. Sometimes, Yunhao's orders require translation in three or four languages. I didn't expect that the curly-haired guy in front of me could speak so smoothly.
"When I returned to my country, my lord, Xerxes admired the Tang Dynasty very much. After occupying this city, he respected the Tang people even more. I asked them for advice on the Tang dialect, and they taught me. In two years, Xerxes has been able to speak with They talk."
"Get up!" Yunhao raised his hand, and Xerxes quickly got up. He bowed his body and his attitude was very humble.
"You can respect the people of the Tang Dynasty, protect them when they are in trouble, and provide for them. This is very good. Since they jointly protect your name, my prince will not kill you, but since you agree to fight with my prince, but We must be strong and sharp, and truly become a sword in the hands of our country.¡±
"Xerxes will help the Duke like the most loyal sheepdog and the most docile horse."
Yunhao curled his lips, could it be said that this guy already knows how to follow the example of a dog and a horse? Although the words were explicit, Yunhao still liked them very much. Everyone likes to wear high hats. Besides, Yunhao really has a task for him to do.
"People from Shule, you can move to Kucha. Qiu Shili will allocate land, pasture, and everything you need. You take your army and follow me to fight. After victory, you will get honor and wealth. , and my support. Are you willing?" Yunhao narrowed his eyes and asked Xerxes.
"My lord, I said that I would be your most loyal servant. I will do your bidding immediately. Please give me three days, and I will select the bravest warriors to follow you in the battle."
Since Xerxes is as humble as a dog, Yunhao doesn¡¯t intend to be polite.
He personally wrote the most severe order to Qiu Shili, asking him to take good care of Xerxes' people. These tribesmen were actually the hostages placed by Xerxes in front of the Tang army. If Xerxes made any changes, these tribesmen would become the ghosts under the sword of the Tang Dynasty.
Since Xerxes is ready to accept this condition, it is enough to prove that he really wants to go to war with Yunhao. In the Western Regions, fighting has always been a shortcut to making a fortune. Countless people want to change their extremely embarrassing financial situation through war and plunder.
What¡¯s more, this time he is going to fight with the powerful Tang people. As for Zhang Liang's failure, Xerxes, who was deeply interested in Tang Wenhua, believed that this was definitely the result of a tiger taking a nap. Since the Tang Dynasty sent this young prince again, he must be confident.
Wealth can be found in danger, and Xerxes felt that he could take the gamble.
Yunhao watched Shule City become a deserted city. Yunhao¡¯s thoughts were similar to those in Nanhai. Since there is no guarantee of effective notification to the Western Region, it would not be bad to turn this place into a no-man's land. As long as it relies on the Tang Dynasty to prosper, the wilderness has always been the best isolation zone. No one would dream of a barren land, especially the cannibals and Arabs who preferred doing business to farming.
In fact, there is only the Chinese nation in the world that can be considered a pure farming civilization. Plant something in the soil, alreadyThe army is chasing the horse thieves. Look at the big flag with the Chinese character Tang on the red background and black characters at the top of the city, fluttering in the wind. Yunhao's anxious heart was finally relieved. It seemed that he arrived just in time. Otherwise, looking at the current situation, Shangmi City will be breached in a day or two at most.
Seeing so many reinforcements coming down from the city, the captain who was guarding the city also rushed out excitedly and joined the chasing army. These people were dressed in rags and had beards all over their faces. If they hadn't been wearing the Tang Dynasty's standard armor, they would have been killed by the red-eyed Xerxes.
Yunhao curled his lips helplessly. This was all a fault of the military merit system. These guys always risk their lives just to grab human heads. These heads are not human heads. But real wealth, land, and certificates of promotion. The job of beheading people in the Tang Dynasty is really the best way to get promoted and make a fortune.
Tang Jun, who was red-eyed by the killing, chased him for more than 20 miles. There are twenty miles of zombies lying on the ground. It seems that the wolves here will not be short of food for a while.
This time, very few horse thieves survived. Those who survived were basically either stunned by the bombs or lying on the ground pretending to be dead. After the person was discovered by the person who was doing the last-ditch attack, he was brought back to the Tang Army's camp.
The guy named Guo Huai in front of him is actually Guo Xiaoke's nephew. This is a bit interesting. Guo Xiaoke never mentioned to me that he had a nephew far away in the Western Regions. The Guo family probably thought that this guy was dead.
"Mr. Chu!" Seeing Yunhao sitting in the carriage, Guo Huai said two words and tears came out like spring water.
"Your hard days are over!" Yunhao said, patting Guo Huai's dirty armor.
"Mr. Chu, please allow me to mobilize the army to kill people." Guo Huai said with a cry.
"Who do you want to kill?" Yunhao asked doubtfully.
"Any barbarian in the Yuezhi Protectorate can be killed!" Guo Huai replied through gritted teeth.
¡°I guess I was tricked by the beards here, and it was really hard to endure the two years. Now that my army is back, I naturally want to express my anger!
"Take him with you!" Yunhao pointed at Xerxes, thinking that it would be so easy to complete the declaration of nomination. How is this possible?
"No!" Xerxes followed the example of the Tang Dynasty and clasped his fists at Yunhao. Then he followed Guo Huai!
A small number of troops were sent into the city, and the larger army was stationed outside the city. Guo Huai can hold on here for two years, so the people in the city are probably still trustworthy.
But after entering the city, Yunhao realized what was reliable. In the huge Shangmi City, only the Tang Army existed. All the people were driven out by Guo Huai. It seems that the people here have a deep resistance to the Tang people.
Two days later, Guo Huai came back. The smell of blood emanating from the whole body made people afraid to look directly.
"It seems like you have a lot of resentment!" Yunhao shook his head helplessly.
"You don't know, Mr. Chu, that these barbarians are beasts. Our soldiers went out to patrol, but they disappeared. The general led his men out to look for them, but they were all killed. They not only killed people, but also insulted the corpses. Later, they interrogated the prisoners I learned that the crotches of the brothers were cut off and fed to the dogs.
¡°Several brothers died after their intestines were taken out alive by dogs. Have you seen those people below the city? They were all cut open alive, their hearts and livers removed, and they were roasted and eaten in front of the generals.
At first, the general was unable to catch the enemy, but now the Duke of Chu has arrived with reinforcements. In the end, those barbarians will definitely have to pay for their debts with blood! "
Yunhao nodded to express his understanding. His subordinates were tortured and killed in front of his face. This was indeed an insult to the general. It seems that the person he sent to deliver the letter never made it here.
"The army is stationed in Shangmi. No humans or animals will be left within a radius of three hundred miles!" Yunhao gave the order, and Xerxes trembled all over. I'm glad I made the right choice. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
