Chapter 315: Soldiers never get tired of deceit

That night, several fast horses rushed out of Tuozhe City and rushed northward. The next morning, the next morning, the Baishui City became boiling. More than 2,000 Doulu Army and 6,000 Dayuan Army (the original slave army) stationed in Baishui City began to pack their luggage. In the evening, a large group of people began to set off, and teams of infantry and cavalry set off in the direction of North Talas. At the same time, the city gate was filled with carriages loaded with packages and supplies. The family members of the Dayuan Army were also set off, but their destination was Ruiye City. Baishui City was about to become a front-line battlefield and should not be occupied anymore. Everyone had to move away. The entire city was almost full of people. Two hours later, Baishui City became an empty city.

On the second day after the Doulu army and the Dayuan army entered Talas north, the Grolu people had just arrived at Tuozhe City. In the bloody massacre of Tuozhe City, the Grolu people were the absolute main force, just as if the wolf had eaten up the flesh. They were quiet for several months until they slowly digested the flesh and blood in their belly. They slowly stood up and turned their eyes to the next new city. But at this moment, a huge change occurred within the Anxi army. Gao Xianzhi, who indulged their robbery, returned to Beijing, and the original Anxi Changshi became the new Anxi Jiedushi.

The Grolu people's camp was stationed thirty miles east of Tuozhe City. The leader Shaga was sitting in the big tent in dismay at this time. He leaned on the blanket, held his cheek, and looked straight at the top of the tent. The thick knuckles were hitting the table with rhythmic rhythm. More than a dozen Turkic girls who were stolen to serve him were extremely frightened. His posture was a sign of the attack of animal nature. There were no less than twenty sisters he had raped and killed in the past few months. I don't know who would suffer this time.

Sure enough, Shaka slowly turned his head, with a lewd smile on his face, and his eyes scanned the dozen trembling girls. He wanted to pick a fat and tender lamb for lunch today. When the girls saw his fierce eyes, they were so scared that they squeezed together.

At this time, a personal soldier ran over quickly and stood outside the tent and reported loudly: "The new Jiedushi sent an emergency order!"

"What's the matter?" Shaga stood up impatiently, walked to the door of the tent and said angrily, "What a shit command?"

A Li Qing's messenger stepped forward and handed over a military order and said solemnly: "The General ordered you to turn north immediately and participate in the siege of Talas."

"What? We Grolu people just arrived and thought we were? We were horses or sheep, and we drove them away if we said we were driven away." Shaga was extremely angry. He grabbed the military order and did not open it. He tore it into pieces in three or two. He threw the paper into the face of the commander and cursed: "We want food, money, and women, and ask him to send it immediately. It is not enough to have a small amount, otherwise we will not do it!"

The messenger silently picked up the fragments on his face, turned around and left, but after walking two steps, Shajia called him again and said with a grim smile: "Go and tell Li Qing, it doesn't matter if he has no money. I have had a tacit understanding with Gao Xianzhi. After the war of Bahan, the country belongs to me, as long as he nods again, he can do it."

Li Qing suddenly turned around, stared at the messenger and asked, "Did he say he wants to pull out the country of Khan?"

"Report to General, this is the last time he told me."

"Bahan's country!" Li Qing pondered for a moment. He walked to the sand table to gauge the distance between the Grolu people's camp and the capital of Bahan's Na. If it were a cavalry, it would take only one day to arrive. Li Qing couldn't help but say to himself: "Time is a little nervous!"

He walked to the wall with his hands behind his back, staring at the precious Persian carpet hanging on it, but he was thinking about countermeasures in his mind. The Grolu people became jackals. Gao Xianzhi at that time allowed them to rob and spread the city. Now they had the idea of ​​sacking the sweat, and their appetite would never be full. If the Tang army was so powerful that it would be defeated by the Great Food Army. Once the war was stalemate, or the Great Food People offered them a higher price, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not betrayed. The betrayal of the Grolu people in history was by no means accidental. This should be that the Grolu people and the Great Food People reached some kind of political agreement, which had nothing to do with Gao Xianzhi or who would be the governor of Li Qing.

"You must never raise a tiger to cause trouble, jackals must be removed as soon as possible!"

Li Qing finally made up his mind, but how to kill them at the lowest price would take some thought. Li Qing lowered his head, touched his chin and paced back and forth in the room. If a head-on conflict occurred, he would inevitably be used by Budu and stabbed him from behind. What is the difference between this and the betrayal of the Grolu people back then? He never tires of deceit, so he has to think of a cunning plan!

Li Qing suddenly imagined something. He quickly walked to the sand table, carefully checked the route that Grolu people were going north, and then looked up to calculate the time. "Baishui City", these three words appeared in his mind and couldn't help but smile proudly.

Li Qing picked up two agate fruit plates from the table. This was a gift from Gao Xianzhi, a country of Spitfire, which was very valuable. He put the plates into two boxes, sealed them and handed them to the commander and smiled: "Give this to him, just say it's my little intention. As for the sweating, I can agree, but I have a condition."

Li Qing took two steps, and a cruel smile flashed in his eyes, "You tell Shaka, I can only agree to this matter verbally, not written, and I have to take down Talas City before counting. That's all, go!"

After the commander left, Li Qing relaxed slightly. He returned to the table and was about to write a letter to the king Pei Luo of the Khan. But as soon as he picked up the pen, he felt something. When he turned around, he saw Princess Luo Lan leaning weakly on the door, her face pale and her eyes were filled with sadness.

"Aren't you sick? Why don't you lie down!" Li Qing put down his pen and quickly stepped forward to touch her forehead. It was still very hot. Princess Luo Lan faced the empty city after entering Tuozhe City. She couldn't bear the condemnation in her heart and finally fell ill.

"Obe obedient! Go lie down."

Princess Luo Lan smiled bitterly, and tears suddenly surged from her beautiful eyes, "I thought you and Gao Xianzhi would be different, so I ignored the misfortune of my father and compatriots, and still followed you, but I was wrong. I am really stupid, the number one fool in the world!"

Li Qing grabbed her arm and said in a deep voice: "Do you really think I promised the Grolu people? No! That's just a supreme plan. I want to kill it to eliminate future troubles."

Princess Luo Lan shook her body. She stood for a long time, and finally pushed Li Qing's hand away gently, saying sadly: "No matter how much sweet words the fox says, it is still a fox. Li Qing, I don't want to hear what you say. If you want to win the trust of me, come to see me with the head of Shaga!"

After saying that, she didn't look at Li Qing anymore and slowly walked into the room.

A blood-red setting sun quickly fell to the horizon. A thin layer of white mist floated on the vast grassland. The cold air began to attack. In the twilight, a Tang army was marching north quickly. This was a group of nearly 10,000 Anxi Army, infantry, archers, and cavalry arranged in sequence. No one spoke, and the horses were put on masks. Only the rustling sounds were heard under his feet. Occasionally someone wanted to run out for convenience, but was immediately stopped by the stern eyes of the commander. This was part of the Anxi Army. Although they were heading north, their target was not Talas, but the only place to go to Talas, Baishui City.

The night gradually became deeper, and the white fog gradually turned dark gray, floating on the earth like a ghost, and the Baishui City in the distance had been swallowed up by the night. Like a large forest, there was only a faint outline left in the late autumn night.

At this time, an army also emerged from the southwest of Baishui City. The team was very long. The front part was cavalry, with about 30,000 people. They marched listlessly, and many people were yawning and looked exhausted. In front was Baishui City. The noise of discussion broke through the quiet field. This army was the Grolu people heading to Talas.

Shaka walked lazily in the middle, his body shaking with the bumps of the horse. They set out in the morning and arrived at Baishui City before dark, but the slow and lazy marching of the soldiers was delayed for an hour.

The Grolu people themselves are a war-capable nation. Most of their men make a living by grazing and hunting. They were once an important branch of the Turks. In the late Kaiyuan period, Grolu was defeated by the Uighurs and became its eleventh tribe. Whenever the Uighurs fought, they took the Grolu people as the vanguard, and they were always sentenced to death, which greatly reduced their male ranks. This made the Grolu people want to find another land to get rid of the rule of the Uighurs.

The Grolu people's turnaround in the Battle of Talas in history was precisely because the Dashi promised that Grolu could develop westward. After the Battle of Talas, Grolu took the opportunity to expand westward and southward, occupying vast land between Lake Balkash and Lake Isek, including Shuye City, and breaking away from the rule of the Uighurs.

Because of its strong utilitarian nature, the Grolu people were not enthusiastic about helping the Tang army fight. What they wanted was to loot the city, plunder the population, and to sack the country's land was plump, with many horses, and the soldiers' combat power was weak, so they were coveted by the Grolu people, but Gao Xianzhi did not allow him to touch it first. Once the jackal was fed, it would have no intention of working hard.

But Li Qing agreed. Shaka was overjoyed. He had already decided that once he took down Talas City, his army immediately rushed south and swallowed the Sweat.

"Governor, I always feel that Li Qing agreed so readily, and there may be something wrong with it." The person who spoke was Shaga's deputy general. Seeing that the soldiers were careless, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and said, "It's better to be safe. Baishui City will not go to for the time being, so we will camp now."

Shaka glanced at him and sneered, "You think it's inappropriate, but you can't tell me. No one can think it's inappropriate like you."

"But the governor—"

Shaga waved his hand and stopped him, "Do you think I'm a fool? Can't understand Li Qing's intention? This person and Gao Xianzhi are not the same. They all want to use us to wipe out the Turks for him, and give me a pair of agate plates first, so that I think he is trying to please, but his next sentence reveals his purpose."

Shaga sneered several times, "Only verbally agree? When we wipe out the Turks in Bakhan's country for him, he will inevitably want us to attack Kangguo for him. Once we leave, he will openly take Bakhan's bag, just like the Shi Kingdom now."

The deputy general was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What should I do?"

Shaga laughed and said, "Since I have guessed his intention, will I still be led by him? When I take the sweat off, he will not be able to drive me away again! But now I have saved some energy, and Talas let them take it by themselves."

The Gelulu army walked a long way, and the shadow of Baishui City was already faintly looking in the darkness. At this time, the scout who first entered the city to explore the way came to report: "Baishui City is already an empty city, and no one lives in it, but there is still a lot of food in the city."

Shajia was stunned and immediately realized that Li Qing was afraid that he would rob Baishui City by the way, so he moved the residents inside first. He smiled at the sky and immediately ordered: "The army entered Baishui City to rest!"

Hearing that he could rest, Grolu's army immediately accelerated its pace and rushed to the city, while the cavalry took the lead and rushed into the city gate. As expected, the city was empty. Without waiting for Shaga's orders, the soldiers snatched the houses. Some raised the fire and cooked, while others fell asleep. They were noisy and busy, and they did not gradually calm down until midnight.

At the third update, all the silence was silent, and the entire Baishui City fell asleep. Only a few sentries patrolled the city wall. Suddenly, a corner of the city wall loosened, and dozens of figures emerged from the city wall, dressed like the Gelu Army. They quickly arranged the team neatly and walked towards a sentry, as if they were patrolling soldiers.

Sure enough, the sentry only glanced at them and still paced back and forth without taking them to heart. But just as the patrol team walked past the sentry, the sentry suddenly groaned and fell to the ground and died. Then one of the patrol people walked out of the patrol and immediately replaced him.

This was done in the same way. After they walked around the city, all the sentries were replaced.

In the night, there were two fires flashing at the Baishui City. A large group of people immediately surged out of the forest three miles away. This was the 10,000 Anxi Army that arrived in one hour.

The cavalry remained motionless, and teams of infantry and archers rushed to Baishui City. When they arrived at the city, more than a hundred martial arts men climbed ropes and walls, while the other part carried large stones and wood to block the four city gates from the outside. There were a large number of Tang soldiers, and with sufficient preparations in advance, the great things were saved in just a moment.

It was almost four o'clock at this time. It was just when Ge Luolu was sleeping heavily. Shaga was suddenly awakened by a violent knock on the door. "Governor! What's wrong, get up quickly!" Before he could ask, he found that there was already a red light outside.

"Bang!" The door was smashed open by personal soldiers, and more than a dozen personal soldiers were swept into the room like a whirlwind. Without saying a word, he raised him and left, "Where did the fire break?"

Shaka asked loudly, but when he rushed out of the gate, he was immediately stunned. He saw that the entire Baishui City was filled with flames soaring into the sky. Most of the houses here were temporarily built by Dayuan Army families. The materials were mainly made of plants and trees. In addition, the city seemed to be a helper for fire. The fire took advantage of the wind and swallowed the entire city. Hundreds of people surrounded Shaka and ran wildly on the street, killing everyone who blocked the road.

The entire Baishui City was full of war horses neighing, soldiers shouting wildly, and the surging red flames flew on the roofs, and terrible flames were spitting out of the windows. Suddenly, with a thunderous thunder, dozens of houses collapsed, and the soldiers had no idea of ​​hierarchy and rushed to the city gate. Some people who reacted quickly wanted to escape to the city wall, but only halfway through, they found that the corridor of the city had been demolished. They had no choice but to turn around and run towards the city gate, but a terrible thing happened. As soon as the city gate was opened, they saw that the escape road was blocked by big stones and giant trees, and the war horses could not pass at all.

"Dropping off the horse and turning it out!" Shaga shouted wildly. At this time, he had already understood that he had been trapped. Li Qing's real purpose was to kill all the people of Grolu. It was just a bait for him to sweat. He was so angry that he was about to go crazy, "Li Qing! You are too cruel, I want to tear you into pieces!"

He roared, kicked the soldier away, and was the first to climb up the obstacle, but when he had just jumped over the obstacle, he suddenly found that, just opposite him, in the dark, nearly a thousand crossbowmen were half-squatting, and the cold crossbow arrows were aimed at him. Shaka was suddenly shocked and his heart almost stopped beating. He wanted to turn back, but it was too late. Thousands of crossbow arrows were roaring with the laughter of the god of death. Shaka was shot like a porcupine, shook it and fell down with a bang.
