Ge Shuhan cursed and ordered his sergeants to push Tieren Xinuoluo and Zhang Zangxie out. Dugu Xiang said: "This General Iron is born with supernatural power. Although his martial arts has been abolished now, his brute strength is still there. He must be put on a heavy shackle. I heard that there is a big shackle called 'Dead Pig Sorrow', which can be put on him." ." Zhang Shouyu said: "Ms. Dugu, the "Six Canons" has certain rules for wooden shackles. What you are talking about is the eighth of the "Ten Big shackles" made by Lai Junchen, a cruel official during the Wu Zhou Dynasty. The smaller ones include "Ding Baimai" and "Ding Baimai". "I can't breathe," and there are bigger shackles, "I beg you to die," and "I beg you to break your home."" Dugu Xiang said with a sigh: "My dear... Listen to these names, they are some powerful things..." Zhang Shouyu said: "But these The instruments of torture are all used by cruel officials, and have been abandoned by this dynasty." Dugu Xiang said with regret: "That's such a pity, General Iron Blade can't taste the taste of our native products of the Tang Dynasty." Dugu Xiang said something The words made all the Tang army generals in the camp laugh. After many days of fierce fighting, the Tang army hated the Tibetan people deeply. They felt relieved when they heard Dugu Xiang's ridicule. Geshuhan's deputy general Absi said: "Isn't this easy? Give Iron Blade If the general wears three shackles and hangs many iron chains, I don't think he will be any worse than the "dead pig sorrow"." There are wooden shackles with one shackle, and there are two or three shackles. The so-called three shackles are the wooden shackles on the shackles. There are three holes, which can lock three people together. It is naturally very heavy to hold the shackles of three people on one person's shoulder.
All the generals cheered and laughed loudly, but Ge Shuhan scolded: "Seniors can be killed but not humiliated, and you can't make any mistakes." When Zhang Shouyu, Abu Si and others saw that their commander was angry, they immediately kept silent and did not dare to laugh anymore. , but Jiang Shuo secretly admired Ge Shuhan. It seemed that this man had gone from being a yamen general to the governor of two towns in three years, and he did have his own uniqueness.
After the sergeant escorted Iron Blade Xi Nuoluo down, Ge Shuhan stood up and avoided the table, bowed to Jiang Shuo and said, "Jiang Shuo, I was the one who neglected you earlier. I didn't expect that you would actually accomplish such an extraordinary feat. After this battle, , the Tang Dynasty can only take back the whole territory of Hequ in a matter of seconds." Before Jiang Shuo could say a few words of modesty, his brother Shuhan had already stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Shuo's arm, saying: "In the future, you can come with me to Beijing to offer sacrifices. Take prisoners!" If the Tang army wins a great victory and offers prisoners, they will be summoned by the saint, and they will inevitably be rewarded. It goes without saying that they will be promoted to an official position. If they are appreciated by the saint, their success will be just around the corner. "Ge Shuhan invited Jiang Shuo to come to the capital with him to offer prisoners, because he wanted to support Jiang Shuo and make him the first to seize Shibao City. Judging from past experience, although Jiang Shuo is white, he can at least seal the city. If the saint is pleased with the position of Lieutenant or Sima, it is not impossible to appoint him as a general of the fifth rank.
The officers of the Tang Army were all envious, but Jiang Shuo performed so bravely in this battle, and everyone was not convinced. Generals Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan were the first to congratulate him, but Jiang Shuo had no interest in becoming an official. He didn't know why he went to Beijing to offer prisoners to him. Thinking of An Lushan killing good people and taking credit.
Although he did capture Iron Blade Xi Nuoluo and helped the Tang army capture Shibao City, it was actually Li Zhuer who broke Iron Blade Xi Nuoluo's golden bell. As for the capture of Shibao City, the Tang army suffered casualties, and Jiang Shuo more I can't bear to take credit from the heads of these generals who lick blood from their swords.
He crossed his hands to Ge Shuhan and said: "Thank you very much, Commander Han, for your love. However, to capture Shibao City, all the generals and their armies fought hard for days. The Tibetan defenders were at the end of their strength, and they won today's victory. Jiang did not dare to be good at it." , and Jiang is just a commoner, with no intention of an official career..." Ge Shuhan was quite unhappy when he heard this and said: "In retrospect, don't you want to serve our Tang army?" Zhang Shouyu simply couldn't believe that Jiang Shuo would give up the wealth he had obtained, and said : "Brother Jiang, Commander Han is in great power now. The Eastern Army has Anlu Mountain, so the Western Army will choose Commander Han first..." Zhang Shouyu mentioned Anlu Mountain, which caused Jiang Shuo to feel almost instinctive discomfort. He interrupted Zhang Shouyu said: "Jiang has no doubt about Commander Han's importance in the hearts of saints. If he is recommended by Commander Han, he will surely rise to the top. However, Jiang has no intention of becoming an official, and secondly, he cannot abandon these Jianghu brothers..." Zhang Shouyu, Gao Xiuyan and others were still waiting to persuade him, but Absi snorted coldly and said, "That's right. Young Master Jiang has hundreds of thousands of people under his command. Naturally, he will not be willing to be second to others." These words were obviously reproachful. In his tone, there was a hint of suspicion that Jiang Shuoxiao had gathered a group of powerful people to plot something nefarious.
As soon as these words came out, Dugu Xiang was the first to be reluctant. She spoke in a bad tone: "All the brothers in the Caobang are all good men of the Tang Dynasty. In the battle of Shibao City, there were tens of thousands of Tang troops, but there were dozens of them." If there were no Cao Jian'er to help transport grain, the Tang army would have been unsustainable." She glanced at Absi and continued: "I see, there are some Turks who were missing when they attacked the city and soaked in blood. There is no trace of them, but they are not convinced when they see others being rewarded for their meritorious service, so they can only say bad words to each other, hey..." In fact, the cavalry under Abu Si's command was the troops they saw at the head of the city lying in ambush in the valley to ambush the Tibetan cavalry. Because of Shibao Castle, After surrendering, the Tibetan cavalry retreated, so there was no cavalry duel, but it was not that Absi was cowardly.
Military generals are not good-tempered. After hearing Dugu Xiang's sarcastic remarks, Abu Si couldn't help but get angry. He held the knife across his waist and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl?" Dugu Xiang was not afraid of him. He raised his chest and said: "Ah The general is not good at killing the enemy, but he is quite good at fighting among himself..." Abu Si's surname is not
"Ah", he is Tiele, whose surname is Jiu.
The leader of the "Tongluo" tribe, given the surname by a saint
"Li", first name
"Li Xianzhong", but Ge Shuhan is a Turk, so he took the Turk name
"Abusi" matches. Dugu Xiang can't control so much, what?
"A" General,
General "Iron" casually called him, if not for others, he would have called Ge Shuhan
"Hanshuai", she must call him
"Brother" General. Seeing that the commotion was getting worse, Ge Shuhan shouted to stop: "Okay! You have made great achievements in retrospect. You can't be scorned. As for your unwillingness to be an official, everyone has different ambitions and you can't force it. Caogang is not only He helped our army transport food, and also killed several small groups of Tibetan cavalry that disturbed our army's food route. His contribution is not insignificant. It is a great joy for the Tang Dynasty to reoccupy the meander of the river, but don't let trivial matters ruin your interest." Everyone agreed. The hand said yes. At this time, news came that the Tibetan army of Forty Dongdai had set up camp to the west of Shibao City and south of the West Sea. The Tang army generals suddenly became nervous again. Compared with the Tang army, the Tibetan army of Forty Dongdai With the numerical advantage, could it be that Ma Xiangzhong Bajie, seeing the fall of Shibao City, wanted to attack with all his troops and make a last-ditch effort to recapture Shibao City?
But when it came to field battles, the Tang army did not fear anyone. Ge Shuhan immediately ordered Zhang Shouyu to lead the infantry to guard Shibao City, while Gao Xiuyan, Abu Si and other generals led the cavalry to form a formation on the side of the city, forming a horned posture, preparing to Facing Tibet.
However, news came half a day later that the Tubo army did not come eastward, but went south through the Dafeiling and the Dafeichuan, and retreated to the hinterland of Tibet.
Absi immediately called for battle and wanted to lead his light cavalry in pursuit, but Ge Shuhan refused. He must not forget the Battle of Dafeichuan in the first year of Xianheng. At that time, Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Army, led his army to underestimate the enemy and advance deep into Dafeichuan, hoping to directly capture the Tibetan capital. In Luosuo City, the Tibetan army cut off the food route and was defeated. From then on, the Tang army never fought deep into the hinterland of Tibet.
Since Wang Zhongsi's raid on the Moli Army three years ago, and subsequent battles between the Jishi Army and the Shenwei Army, until today's capture of Shibao City, the Tibetan garrison in Tuyuhun has all withdrawn, and Tibet will no longer have the strength to covet it for at least a few years. The land of meandering rivers.
Ge Shuhan ordered a banquet to be held in the wilderness outside the tent. The whole army celebrated with joy, and the Cao Gang servants also participated. Suddenly the cheers resounded throughout the valley. Only then did Jiang Shuo realize how shocking it would be to have a hundred thousand people shouting in unison. People's hearts.
Although he is known as the leader of hundreds of thousands of Cao people in the country, in fact he is not with the Cao people most of the time. The Cao workers and boatmen only know that there are four leaders: Xie Yanchang, Lu Yuxuan, Xiao Dayou, and Hun Weiming, as well as the rudders from various states below. Master, but I don’t know who this young master is.
It was not until today that Jiang Shuo captured Shibao City with one man's strength. Everyone knew that their young gang leader was such an amazing young hero. All the servants felt that they were proud and proud in front of the Tang army. Everyone was proud of the young leader. , naturally no one dares to underestimate him, who is only in his early twenties.
Jiang Shuo used his axe to open sand in Heyin. Although it was widely circulated, not many people saw it with their own eyes, and many people did not believe it. His achievements were spread less and less, and in the end it was just a matter of pulling a rope on a ship to open a floodgate, or even Just watch the water and sand wash away from the shore.
The capture of Shibao City this time was witnessed by hundreds of thousands of people. How could we not believe it? After these people returned to the Central Plains, Jiang Shuo's whereabouts were truly known to the world, but this time his abilities were magnified countless times. In the end, he wished he could fly with a sword, move mountains and fill seas, and destroy people. The ability of heaven to destroy the earth is something that Jiang Shuo and others can't know at this moment.
Heroes from the Cao Gang and the Jianghu Alliance gathered around Jiang Shuo. They also knew that Jiang Shuo rejected his brother Shuhan's recommendation. Wang Qiyao felt regretful, but Xiao Dayou, Nan Jiyun and others applauded.
Wang Qiyao said: "If you could be a general and command thousands of troops to open up territory for the Tang Dynasty, wouldn't it be good?" Before Jiang Shuo could answer, Nan Jiyun said first: "What if one day the Tang Dynasty has someone to defend the country?" We are naturally obliged to do so if necessary, but wallowing in the officialdom and seeking a pitiful fame is not what chivalrous people like us should pursue." Jiang Shuo smiled and said: "What Nan Ba said is that I don't want to follow my brother. It's still some time before Shu Handong returns to the capital. I'm going to go to the west..." Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Xiao Dayou asked: "Young master, where are you going to the west? What are you going to do?" Jiang Shuo said: " Going to the Western Regions, we may also cross Congling, I don't know now." Dugu Xiang said softly: "Brother Shuo, you still can't let go of the hidden alliance?" Nan Jiyun asked curiously: "What hidden alliance?" Jiang Shuo He said, "This matter involves too many things, so I won't tell everyone about it yet. I will explain it in detail to you, Nan Ba, after I clarify the situation." Seeing that Jiang Shuo refused to talk, everyone had no choice but to give up.
Nan Jiyun said: "Okay, young master, I will accompany you to the Western Regions." Xiao Dayou and Wang Qiyao immediately responded, and the Cao Gang behind them didn't know why, and they all shouted loudly: "Go to the Western Regions!"
Go to the Western Regions! "It became so loud in an instant that even Ge Shuhan and others were alarmed. Zhang Shouyu asked Jiang Shuo: "Brother Jiang, are you going to the Western Regions? "Jiang Shuo was so upset that he couldn't laugh or cry. He asked Xiao Dayou to suppress the gang members and stop shouting, and at the same time explained: "My trip is not for any important family affairs, but for Mr. Li Taibai's private affairs..." Ge Shuhanqi said: "Young friend Jiang still recognizes Li Taibai? "Jiang Shuo had no choice but to tell a brief story about how he was originally a boy studying in Li Bai, fell into the Han River, and accidentally developed magical skills. Of course, what happened in Xixi Qingfeng Cave, the location of Maoshan Jijin Cave, and other confidential matters were all hidden. Don't mention it." All the generals of the Tang army were amazed when they heard this. Brother Shuhan said: "Little friend Jiang, you have such an adventure that is rare in the world. You are indeed a man of profound blessings." Jiang Shuo thought that this is what Mr. Li Hanguang said about me back then. No. Knowing how sick his legs were now, he crossed his arms and said to Ge Shuhan: "Mr. Li Bai was born in Suiye City in the Western Region. Three years ago, I accidentally learned a big secret related to his life experience. I didn't want to find out. , I can't let go in my heart." Ge Shuhan said: "I see...when are you going to leave, little friend?" Jiang Shuo said: "Of course the sooner the better, I want to set off westward tomorrow."
