This time, the troops from Khotan came, and there was a full brigade of troops, all wearing black hammer armor and holding rifles, horizontal knives, crossbows and other standard weapons.
The leader of the team, riding a Yanqi army horse, was Li Zuoguo, the Khotan judge.
Surrounded by hundreds of soldiers, Yang Jiu did not dare to act rashly.
"Here!" Yang Jiu saluted Li Zuoguo, who was leading the army, and said, "Li Dalangjun, what are you doing? Why did you send troops to surround us?"
Li Zuoguo didn't say much and said coldly: "Take it!"
"Here!" More than twenty soldiers holding horizontal knives stepped forward in response.
The bright tip of the knife immediately touched the bodies of a dozen thugs.
The thugs all froze there, not daring to make any rash move.
The military horizontal knife is very sharp, and it can make a transparent hole with just one stab.
"Slow down!" Yang Jiu forced himself to calm down and said, "Judge Li, does my Alang know?"
"You mean Yang Jiucao?" Li Zuoguo said coldly, "We already took it! Take it with me!"
The latter sentence was addressed to the dozens of knife-wielding soldiers. Even if the dozens of knife-wielding soldiers stepped forward, Yang Jiu did not dare to make a mistake this time and kept his hands tied.
A crisis was resolved invisibly.
Lu Wen stepped forward, crossed his hands and sang: "Here, Lu Wen thanks Judge Li for his help."
However, Li Zuoguo didn't even look at Lu Wen, and just rode away.
Lu Wen couldn't help but have a look of embarrassment on his face, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
Lu Xiaoning was a little angry and cursed in a low voice: "What a dog looking down on people."
But this time Lu Xiaoning had learned his lesson, and his voice was so soft that only Lu Wen could hear it.
"What the Immortal Lord doesn't know is that Judge Li is the eldest son of Li Shijun." Lu Wen explained in a low voice, "Although the Jingzhao Li family is not the Li family of Longxi, and before Li Shijun became famous, he was not a wealthy family, but things are different now. In the past, as Li Shijun was promoted to Ambassador of Khotan and General Zuo Jinwu, he was no longer an ordinary family. How could I, a small team leader, be qualified to ask Li Dalangjun to surrender at all costs? This matter actually does not count. What, all high-ranking families are like this."
Lu Xiaoning also realized that this seemed to be the case in ancient times.
The ancients had deep-rooted views on family status. In the early Tang Dynasty, even the Li family of the Five Hopes and Seven Surnames did not want to see each other. They did not want to marry a royal princess, nor did they want their daughter to marry into the Li Tang royal family. For this reason, they even provoked Tang Taizong was furious and vowed to deal with the Wuwangqi surnames, but he could not kill them until his death.
Not only did Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty fail to kill him, but the entire Tang Dynasty also failed to kill him.
In the end, it took two rebels who fought one after another to kill the big tree with deep roots.
For another example, a great poet like Li Bai, who was astonishingly talented, was forced to do everything possible to submit to a high-ranking family in order to introduce him to the court as an official. If he failed to achieve success in poetry and prose, he would even marry into a high-ranking family. Unfortunately, When I arrived, I only found one Hanlin official, and this Hanlin was not the other Hanlin. To put it bluntly, he was the emperor's retainer in the palace.
Therefore, Li Zuoguo's reaction is really normal.
On the contrary, it was Li Zuoguo who ignored Lu Wen, which was abnormal.
Lu Wen should be worried instead. Is Li Zuoguo as good as Long Yang?
After revealing the matter immediately, Lu Xiaoning said again: "Lu Wen, I have something to tell you. I went in early to find Li Siye just now, but Li Siye seemed to have misunderstood and thought I was a monster, so you'd better not mention it when you meet me. I will not miss you and harm hundreds of soldiers and civilians in Selüburg."
"Ah! How could that happen?" Lu Wen said in shock, "How could that happen?"
"Don't worry about it. Don't mention me anyway. Don't mention me in front of others in the future. I will also try to avoid speaking out in front of others. Just treat me as if I have returned to heaven."
"Well, Lu Wen is following the Immortal Lord's decree."
"Oh, it would be great if Li Siye was like you."
"Immortal Lord, do you want Lu Wen to try to explain something to Li Shijun?"
"No, you can't explain it clearly. Don't get involved in this matter, so as not to get involved with yourself."
Asking Lu Wen to explain to Li Siye would only harm him, because Manichaeism is actually the Ming sect, and the White Lotus sect was also born out of Manichaeism. During the Wu Zhou period, Manichaeism lived well, but it was beaten during the Xuanzong period. It became a cult and was banned, so once Lu Wen got involved with Manichaeism, his life might be lost.
…
When Lu Wen walked into the public house, the stains on the floor had not yet been scrubbed.
The air is still filled with the strong and fragrant smell of feces.
However, Li Siye asked Lu Wen as if nothing was wrong: "What urgent military situation does the Quy Nhon Army have?"
"Here." Lu Wen first crossed his hands and sang "Fai", then took out a handwritten letter from Tian Dajia, the captain of the Ninth Regiment, and handed it to him. A middle-aged man standing next to him reached out and took the letter and handed it to Li Siye. .
Li Siye hurriedly read the letter, his face changed slightly and he said: "Selubao was actually attacked by the Tibetan army from east to west? The Tibetan army on the east side must have come from the Dabolu Kingdom, that's fine, and the Tibetan army on the west side is Where to go around?”
"It must be a detour from Tulum." Lu Wen said firmly, "On the way to Yutian Town to ask for help, the villain was intercepted and killed by the Tubo army several times. This must be the Tubo army trying to isolate the news and stop Yu Tian. The garrison in Khotan rushed to the aid of Seluburg."
"Well, I already know about this. Please report to Captain Tian immediately. We will send troops to Khotan Town soon."
"Here." Lu Wen sang Fatie again and left happily.
However, Lu Xiaoning still left the monitoring interface in Li Siye's room.
…
Watching Lu Wen walk out of the door, the middle-aged man suddenly smiled and said: "What a coincidence. Doctor Feng was about to send troops to Dabolu. When he came to Beijing next year, he happened to present Dabolu Kingdom as a birthday gift to the saint, but he never expected that the Tubo people We actually sent troops to attack at this time, so that we can deal with the Tubo people together, so as not to have to fight again after destroying Dabolu."
Li Siye frowned and said, "Judge Cen, don't you think this is a bit strange?"
The judge surnamed Cen turned out to be Xianzhou Cen Shen, and asked: "Li Shijun wants to say why Tian Shijun didn't send troops?"
"Exactly." Li Siye nodded and said, "Selubao is the outpost of the Gui Ren Army. Although there is only one road between it and Niduo City, the Tubo people can block traffic by going back to Sailubao. However, there are every other road along the way. There are beacon forts built for more than ten miles, so Sailu Fort is being attacked from the east and west by the Tibetan army. It is impossible that Tian Zhen, the envoy of Quy Nhon Army, did not know, why did he not send troops?"
Cen Shen pondered for a while and then said: "If I guessed correctly, that person must have arrived in Niduo City."
"Who? Which one?" Li Siye was confused at first, then frowned and said, "Who is Judge Cen talking about?"
"Of course." Cen Shen nodded and said, "The people guarding Sailu Castle are the ninth regiment of the Quy Nhon Army. Colonel Tian Dajia is the nephew of Tian Shijun, so Sailu Fort was attacked, and Tian Shijun was in public. The private capital should send troops, but the reason why it has been delayed can only be for one reason, that is, that man has arrived in Niduo City."
Li Siye nodded and said, "Calculating the time, it's almost time."
Cen Shen went on to say: "That man has always been greedy for power and afraid of death, so he stayed in Niduo City and waited for the Tibetan army to be tired in the Sailubao division before sending troops to attack. The smallest price can be exchanged for the greatest results, and you can be known as a wise soldier and boast in front of the emperor."
After a pause, Cen Shen said quietly: "Now the two towns of Shule and Yanqi have heavy troops gathered in Niduo City, and the five thousand elite troops of Jia Chonggui, the envoy of Ba Huan, will also arrive soon, so the battle of Sailubao is going to be unwinnable. It’s difficult, but after this battle, the Ninth Regiment of the Quy Nhon Army may no longer exist.”
Li Siye said sadly: "As a general, you should love your soldiers as your own sons, and cherish the lives of your soldiers more than your own. Only in this way will your soldiers be willing to trust each other with life and death. There will only be seven armies serving their lives in the battle formation. If you just sit back and watch your soldiers become the enemy's army, If you attack and kill someone but do nothing to save them, you will be abandoned by the soldiers in the battle formation one day. This kind of behavior is deeply shameful."
"Your Majesty, you are kind and don't control troops." Cen Shen waved his hand, disapprovingly.
"I don't believe in evil, but I lead the army with kindness!" Li Siye said with consternation, "Bian Lingcheng refuses to save me, so I go!"
"Let me think twice! Sending troops to rescue Khotan is equivalent to competing with the Border Guards Army for credit!" Cen Shen changed his tone upon hearing this, "The Border Guards Army has always gained the trust of saints. One word can determine a person's future, and even end his career. Life and death! Even Doctor Feng is very afraid of him. He is brave enough to be the leader of the Tang Dynasty, and his magical power can scare Anxi for 20,000 miles. However, once he loses his holy family..."
"This..." Upon hearing this, the anger on Li Siye's face faded instantly.
