Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 358 Confrontation
There is no never-ending feast.

The mighty army of the Tang Dynasty ate and drank in Wangcheng for three days and took a short rest.In the days when he just got comfortable, Cheng Yaojin, who was tired of eating and drinking, couldn't sit still anymore.

When they were in Lingzhou earlier, the Tang soldiers were besieged and stayed for half a month aggrieved.

Originally thought that the next three tribes of Tianzhu would be a strong opponent, but they abandoned the city and fled, and were bumped into the arms by Li Jing, who had already been in ambush.

The war in Wangcheng was completely defeated by Li Xian and his gang, and it was too late when he and Li Jing arrived.

Now that Fu Yun was killed, and the surrendered general was also escorted by the Tubo tribe, the war was about to end, and his majestic left-wing vanguard general was completely a show!
They clamored to go forward earlier, and put on the heads of several fleeing tribal leaders, so as to save some face in this battle.

Huan Yan also ended with Cheng Yaojin's urging. On the fifth day, Li Jing led several veterans and cavalry under his command to leave the royal city, and marched towards the surrounding corners.

It was also on the third day of Li Jing's departure that Tubo General Lun Qinling dispatched his tribe to Tuyuhun King City, and his own tribe set up camp ten miles away.

Li Xian, who was in the royal city, didn't care too much. After all, he didn't have much affection for the country of Tubo, especially Lu Anzan's rioting in the imperial city, which made people more and more annoying.

After sending some carts of wine and meat, Li Xian dispatched A Tugun, who had seen his relatives, to welcome the tribe back to the city and discuss the follow-up control of the royal city.

"The leader of the tiger cavalry, General Ji, asks to see Tang Li to join the army."

The tiger knight pawn who was replaced still carried a bit of rebelliousness in his bones, and he did not dismount in front of the gate of the king's city.

As a glorious tiger rider on the wasteland, even if he surrenders now, he has not really surrendered from the bottom of his heart. He slightly bows his hands to the guard at the door, and his words are not so respectful.

In the gate of the city gate, A Tugun led his cronies and urged the horse to walk half a foot away, facing the tiger rider across the pontoon bridge.

"General Ji, long time no see."

"Li Canjun is still here..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the figure on the opposite side, who pointed at him with a whip.

"A Tugun, don't put on such a motherfucker's pretentiousness, relying on Datang, do you really think you are capable?"

"Quickly report, and arrange the food and wine."

Thinking of his fellow clan, he originally wanted to persuade him with good words, but now he had no idea at all, A Tugun turned his horse's head with a gloomy face.

"Then you just wait here. If you trespass without authorization, don't blame the city guards for their ruthless swords."

Being reproached, the Tiger Cavalry General surnamed Ji slowly lowered his arched arms, narrowed his eyes slightly, and cursed secretly.

"How dare a running dog be so arrogant!"

"Put your dog's head over the city wall earlier to warn the three armies."

At the moment when thoughts were flying, the sound of horseshoes came from the stone steps inside the city gate.

In sight, A Tugun turned back again and waved to several people in the doorway.

"come over!"

General Ji was extremely upset by this way of greeting, and unconsciously stretched his hand towards his waist, and the soldiers behind him who had honed their tacit understanding also made the same movement.

buzzing.

Rows of bows and arrows at the top of the city were pulled, and the bowstrings were tensed in the air, making a trembling sound.

"A piece of advice, don't have any illusions, I, A Tugun, am a friend of Datang at this time."

A Tugun stood quietly in the doorway, without any subtle fluctuations on his face, looked at the figure in front of him, and uttered calm words.

"My friend is dead, will there be the title of Tiger Rider in this wasteland?"

"You threatened me?"

"Not a threat."

The answer was exceptionally straightforward. Looking at the gradually loosened palm on the handle of the knife, A Tugun opened his big mouth, baring his yellow teeth, and squeezed out words.

"This... is Li Canjun's order."

Seeing a group of people crossing the pontoon bridge and no longer acting rashly, A Tugun turned his horse's head around and walked towards the city.

"Don't let Li join the army, you've been waiting for a long time."

snort!
General Ji snorted softly, and followed A Tugun at a distance of one foot.

After stepping on the bluestone floor through the gate, the field of vision spreads out, dense figures stand quietly on both sides of the street, stretching to the gate of the palace, the sharp cold blade pierces the sky, the sun shines on the eyes full of cold light In the silent place, it seemed that even breathing became cautious without realizing it.

General Ji has seen tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of troops rushing, but this is the first time for such a well-trained and neatly lined scene. Walking in the middle of the road guarded by these soldiers, goosebumps run down the younger generation Climbing to the back spine, the whole person's scalp is numb.

Those Tuyuhun dignitaries following behind the tiger rider also lost their previous arrogance at this moment, as if there was some kind of invisible power, which made people unable to straighten their heads.Daning Wang Murong Shun held the wooden box containing Fu Yun's head in his hand, hugged the wooden box tightly, and was also startled by this aggressive front of soldiers, he dared not speak out and followed closely.

The not-too-distant journey for a cup of tea made General Ji sweat faintly on his forehead. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he took a deep breath, calmed down slightly, dismounted and walked in slowly following A Tugun.

The atmosphere in the room was even more suffocating. The tall and burly Baiqi before had turned into personal guards at this moment. There was a cold light on the silver armor imprinted by swords and swords, and the murderous eyes made Ji Ji feel ashamed. The general didn't dare to look more.

Standing in the middle of the hall, General Ji arched his arms.

"The tiger rider surrendered, and I have seen Tang Li join the army."

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

The Tiger Cavalry general understood this truth, at least he changed his attitude a little bit.

The figure on the high platform waved his hand casually, and glanced at the figure in the center of the hall.

"sit down."

"Fu Yun is dead, and the serious trouble has been eliminated. I don't have time to discuss the right and wrong with you subordinates, arguing about who should bear how much."

While speaking, Li Xian poured a glass of wine, pushed it to the opposite side of the desk, and tapped his knuckles on the table until the figure under the stone steps came to fetch it.

General Ji's raised eyelids showed slight hesitation, seeing Li Xian who was leaning on the big tiger leather chair looking over, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and climb up the stone steps.

Picking up the cup with both hands, he bowed slightly towards Li Xian.

"Thanks for joining the army."

After drinking the fermented wine, the Tuyuhun ex-officials behind him carefully sat on the side seats of the hall.

Being watched by the figure on the stone platform and many generals on the opposite side, General Ji was a little uncomfortable in this quiet environment, cleared his throat and said boldly.

"Soldiers and generals...I don't know how to join the army...how to deal with it..."

"Don't think about it too much. Since you surrendered, maybe it was to protect the surviving relatives behind you, or maybe you were forced into the army by Fu Yun back then. Each has its own reason, and I will not pursue it."

Li Xian spoke simply, interrupting General Ji's hesitation, took a sip of the wine, and continued.

"Soldiers take the execution of military orders as their bounden duty. Are there any difficulties? It's human nature."

"Many civilians were killed or injured in the borderlands of the Tang Dynasty. I will make decisions for them today. This grievance will be wiped out, and the past will not be blamed."

As soon as these words came out, the eyelids of all the old ministers who sat down jumped, and they were all a little shocked in their hearts, and secretly swallowed their saliva.

In this battle, excluding the dead and injured soldiers of the Great Tang Conquest, there are more than [-] people in the seven or eight tribes, and those who have not escaped in the royal family and the relatives of some princes and nobles are calculated at least It is also ten times that of the border people of the Tang Dynasty.

Thousands of lives were wiped out by Li Xian's understatement...

Don't dare to speak out. In this high-pressure environment, you don't even dare to get angry.

General Ji was not a member of the royal family in the first place, and his hands were always stained with blood. After a moment of meditation, he crossed his arms.

"Everything is subject to Li Canjun's arrangement."
