Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 516
He dug out Liang Miguang's head, and toppled the stone tablet prohibiting the Qiang from crossing the border.

Tuobasi led 2 horses slowly through the mountain pass. The large group of horses startled countless crows and caused flies to fly around.

Tuoba Qiang was all silent.

When they came, they were actually very excited.

Tuoba Qiang and other Dangxiang Qiang, even like all Qiang tribes, live a nomadic life and don’t know farming. A stable site without interfering with each other.

Only when the enemy invades or goes to rob together, will the tribal herdsmen be called together to fight together.

During wars, each leader manages his own troops.

This time the Tuoba family summoned their own family and their affiliated tribes to send troops to Songzhou together. Each family came for the purpose of robbing, because every time they came here in the past few years, they had gained a lot, so everyone was very happy this time. Actively respond to orders.

Wearing iron knives and copper hammers, stepping on the horses, the four sides gathered together, talking and laughing along the way.

As a result, although the pine trees on Gansong Ridge were blooming beautifully, the corpses and maggots in the narrow valley made them feel as if they had poured a basin of cold water on their heads.

Many people are already heartbroken.

Many rumors are circulating in the ranks.

Some people say that Tang general Qin Qiong is the guardian king of the Central Plains, riding a green dragon to drive a white tiger and driving a red bird, can control lightning, release thunder in his palm, and breathe fire from his mouth.

To say that participating in the wolf species is to be defeated by Qin Qiong's Dafa of summoning wind and thunder.

Another person said that this time the Tang people came with a large army, and Qin Qiong was the prime minister of the Tang people, so he brought an army of 10. Here, Qin Qiong ambushed [-] wolves with [-] people, so they were defeated. So miserable.

The Qiang people only want to rob, but they don't want to die.

Although they are fierce and fierce, it is also instinct to bully the weak and fear the hard.

Facing the unknown is even more frightening.

The team moved forward in silence and uneasiness. More than 1000 unrecognizable heads of the Wudu Qiang species were embedded in the Jingguan, watching them silently as they walked eastward.

along the way.

Sitou didn't dare to underestimate the enemy's carelessness, so he dispatched more than a dozen light cavalry to explore the way for twenty miles, vowing never to repeat the mistake of participating in wolf species.

Stop and go, carefully, like walking on thin ice.

He only walked thirty or forty miles a day.

After many days, I finally walked out of the continuous Gansong Valley and came to the bank of the Minjiang River.

In front of him is a wider river valley, and even the banks of the river valley are extremely gentle.

This is a very fertile pasture, but as far as the eye can see, there is no shepherd, nor a cow or sheep grazing.

Only the birds and beasts startled and fled in all directions.

"Hahaha, this Qin Qiong is nothing more than that. I really think how powerful he is. As long as we are a little careful, he won't try to ambush us. Now there is a flat river in front of us. We can go straight to the Songzhou city and surround the city. He spreads his wings It’s also hard to fly.”

The leaders of the Qiang people just smiled perfunctorily, they didn't believe that Qin Qiong would be so easy to deal with.

"Come on, go to the village and send a message to Qin Qiong, tell him that if he takes the initiative to hand over the traitor of my Tuoba family, Ba Libuli and his subordinates, and return my Tuoba family's affiliated Liang family members, and immediately withdraw from the Song Dynasty. State, then my Tuoba family can let go of the past and let him go."

"Otherwise, when our army arrives at the city, he won't be able to leave if he wants to. Once the city is broken, every Tang in the village will have to fight!"

Tuoba Xigan, the deputy sent by Tuoba Chici, reminded Sitou in a low voice, "Should I ask Qin Qiong to meet in the city first?"

"No need, just pass the message like this."

Xi Gan is Chi Ci's confidant general, a ruthless man who can fight well. This guy has always been a man who doesn't talk too much. He talks too much, but too much talk is useless.

If you are capable, you don’t need to threaten, but when you are incapable, no matter how many threats you make, it will only expose your incompetence, and will make others despise you even more.

He felt that Sitou's threat now was a useless threat.

In fact, before coming here, Chi Ci had confessed that Songzhou wanted to take it back, but he had to leave some leeway with the people of Tang, especially that Qin Qiong, who must not be killed.Even if he refuses to leave, if the city is broken and captured, he will be treated with more courtesy and returned to the Tang Dynasty.

After all, he was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and such a person could not shed a single hair.

Although Chi Ci said that he formed an alliance with Tuyuhun and was very ambitious to unify the eight departments of the party and become the king of the party, but he was also very self-aware, knowing that the Tang Dynasty in the east was so powerful that they could not compete.He wants to win the area around the Minshan Mountains, but he doesn't want to offend the people of Tang too much.

It's just that Sitou can't listen to the fine words.

"Uncle appointed me as the commander-in-chief of the army, so you have to obey my orders." Sitou squinted his eyes and stared at Xigan, "Could it be that you refuse to obey orders?"

With dry eyes, he saw Sitou's hand pressed on the handle of the knife, with blue veins showing, and smiled slightly.

"The general was joking, how dare I disobey the general's order, just remind the general."

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

Tuoba took a few steps back, bowed his head and remained silent.

·······
West of Chengdu Plain.

In front is the continuous Wenshan Mountain, so Taoguan is under.

A general led several riders out of the customs to meet him.

"Guoyi Duwei Xi Junmai is waiting for the general of Fuguo!"

Qin Lang looked at the young general and said with a smile, "The last time we said goodbye, it's been three years!"

Xi Junmai, tall and burly with a bee waist and ape arms, smiled and nodded, "Indeed, it has been more than three years, and my subordinates are here in Sichuan. As for the past, it was the happiest time to be with the general. The general took care of me and asked me to come to Shu to be the captain of Guoyi. I stayed for three years. It was really boring. Look at me. I have gained thirty catties, and as soon as I heard that the general was going to Songzhou to fight against the Qiang people, I immediately rushed over and waited here."

Xi Junmai was one of the guards in Li Shimin's Prince Qin's mansion at first. On the day of Xuanwu Gate, Qin Lang fought fiercely at Xuanwu Gate. Later, he took the head built by the prince to rescue the Palace of Qin Palace. Li Shimin pulled out Xi Junmai and a team of guards to follow. .

He and Qin Lang went all the way to the Prince Qin's mansion, and rescued the eldest grandson Princess and the eldest son Chengqian.Later, he went to Zhongnan Mountain with Qin Lang to recruit Xue Wanche, Xie Shufang and others. At that time, he saw with his own eyes how Qin Lang fought Xie Shufang with his own eyes, and knocked Xie Shufang off the horse with a mace, allowing Xue Feng and others to surrender.

Later, he was transferred to the Zhenfu Division, followed Qin Lang to Youzhou, Hebei, and participated in the suppression of Li Yuan Wang Junkuo's rebellion.Later, when he returned to the court, Qin Lang asked him to honor him for his meritorious service. As a guard of the Qin Palace, he was awarded the military post of Captain Guo Yi and sent to Shu.

Just staying for three years, this place is quite comfortable, but the comfort makes people fatten up, and even wipe out their ambitions.

Qin Lang knew that this kid was always brave and tough, so he liked him very much.

"It's true that you are fat, can you still ride a horse and draw a bow?"

"The general was joking, even though he has gained thirty catties, he can still open a six-stone iron tire bow, even a two-man crossbow can be opened with one hand, my Mo Dao dance is smoother, and my riding skills are more exquisite. "

Fat is fat, but it does not affect ability.

"That's good, how many people did you bring?"

"Two hundred Qingqi, the number is a bit small, but I thought it would be difficult to go to Songzhou Road, so I picked the two hundred Qingqi that I have always trained carefully. Although there are few soldiers, they are good enough."

Qin Lang nodded.

Therefore, the original name of Taoguan is Taoguan. It is on the east bank of Minjiang River. It is the only way for Chengdu to go to the northwestern mountainous areas such as Song and Mao, and it is also the main road to Qiang.

To the west of Taoguan is the continuous peaks and deep valleys of the Minshan Mountains, and on the other side is the Chengdu Plain.

The north of Taoguan is still a wind cave, one or two miles away, the wind blows day and night, flying sand and blowing rocks, this is because of the ventilation effect of the narrow and long valley road, this situation, Qin Lang's later generations once felt it when they traveled in Dali.Dali is full of wind, flowers, snow and moon, Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, moon, wind, wind and flowers, and the wind in Shangguan is very strange. It is windy day and night, and the wind blows head-on. As a result, the hat on the head is always blown to the front.

Qin Lang looked back, and behind him was a continuous team winding up.

He came from Lizhou, although the journey was far away, but after passing Jianmen, it was the Great Plains of Sichuan, the road was easy to walk, and he could sail along the river, so it was very smooth and convenient to arrive in Chengdu all the way, a one-day trip Hundreds of miles away.

If it weren't for the government soldiers and volunteers who were summoned along the way, Qin Lang should have arrived here earlier.

"General, rescuing soldiers is like putting out a fire. There are not many good soldiers. So many troops will affect the speed of marching and increase the logistical burden." Xi Junma looked at so many soldiers and couldn't help reminding Qin Lang.

Qin Lang nodded and said his plan.

"Since you want to fight, you have to hit hard. If you hit one punch, you can avoid a hundred punches. We are not only here to help Songzhou, but to punish Dangxiang Qiang and beat them up. , not only to defend Songzhou, but also to cross Gansongling and enter Dangxiang Qiang."

Therefore, Qin Lang summoned a lot of Shu local government soldiers and volunteers with the Prince's order this time, just to prepare for a big battle.

The soldiers and horses he summoned were going to divide the troops at Taoguan.

The Qingqi elite went first and rushed to Songzhou for rescue.

The follow-up volunteers and the township soldiers escorted food, grass and equipment, and followed closely.

Qingqi is going to relieve the siege of Songzhou, and the follow-up large troops will be prepared to attack the party.

This time Qin Lang has mobilized more than 2 people. This is a standard Datang tactical corps. In the mountains of Minshan, the scale of more than 2 people can be said to have almost reached the limit of supplies.

"These are the generals of the Prince's Brigade, the Prince's Zuowei led Su Dingfang, Zhonglang General Liang Jianfang, Gao Kan, and Gao Zhensheng!"

Xi Junmai said hello to Su Dingfang first, "Farewell to Youzhou, and I haven't seen General Su for several years. Now General Su makes me envious. He captured Jieli Khan alive, but I can only stay here drink herbal tea."

Su Dingfang also took the initiative to invite Ying to come here this time, just to get another chance to prove himself in battle. He wants to prove to those military leaders that he is not just lucky enough to meet Xieli to make meritorious service, he can also fight Fight tough battles.

"Brother Xi, let's work together this time to capture that Dangxiang Qiang Chief, and let's make another great contribution to him!"

Gao Kan's three generals are also eager to try, and they all come here to earn military merits.

Peach off.

Qin Lang ordered Su Dingfang to command a troop of [-] Qingqi, with Xi Junmai leading the headquarters of [-] Qingqi as the vanguard scouts, and Gao Kan, Liang Jianfang, Gao Zhensheng, and three Lu Ben Zhonglang generals each uniting a thousand Qingqi to follow.

Qin Lang also brought the old iron spear with him and three hundred soldiers from Fuli Langweidu, Yinan Tieludu, and Heiyun Changjiandu.

Zhang Shigui, General Zuo Yulin appointed by the prince, commanded the [-] rural soldiers and volunteers behind him, and Jia Runfu, the Changping envoy of Jiannan Road, was responsible for transporting food, grass and military equipment with the army.

Xi Junmai, who got the forward job, patted his chest excitedly, "The last general will fulfill his mission!"

With a roar, all the Qingqi under the command of two hundred got on their horses, rode their horses out of Taoguan, and galloped towards Songzhou first.

There are still five hundred miles away from Songzhou!
