Since all the main forces of the Anxi Army were transferred back to the Central Plains, the balance of power between the imperial court and local tribes in the Shule area has been seriously imbalanced. The new chief of the army, Zhang Su, is a civilian, and he always prioritizes "stability" when things happen.
Inciting a "civilian uprising", the right and wrong were not asked at all. After months of compromising, the nearby tribal warriors thought that the Tang Dynasty was ready to completely abandon Anxi, and they became more and more unscrupulous. The people of the Tang Dynasty in the city were bullied.
Then the sky will not respond and the earth will not work. Those with a rich family simply sold their fields and houses and walked away. Those with a small family had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.
Those drunken tribal warriors, with the deliberate connivance of the government, had become accustomed to walking sideways in the city, and did not pay close attention to the banners of those who stopped their evil deeds. I thought that if they yelled and cursed twice casually, the other party must be like those in the city.
Like the police officer in charge of public security, he obediently hid aside to enjoy the cool air. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, several shiny black riding whips were whipped down in front of him!
Wanqi Yuxue took the lead, followed closely by Wang Shisan, who led a group of guards and beat the troubled tribal warriors until they ran away. "Wanqi, teach them a lesson, don't kill them!" Wang Xun also hated it at this moment.
His teeth were itching, but he cared about the face of the local officials and didn't intend to make things too outrageous. Unexpectedly, his good intentions were regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs. As soon as Wan Qi Yu Xie and others' whips were softened, several tribal warriors
They immediately rolled to the side of the road, and everyone took out a horn from their arms and blew it with all their strength.
"Woooooooooo ------" The violent melody blasted over Shule City, shocking every household to close its doors quickly. Suddenly, there were rooms in alleys, taverns, and empty yards that had long been abandoned by their owners.
, tribal warriors and herdsmen holding various weapons swarmed out. They rushed to the scene of the incident, and immediately launched a counterattack against Wang Xun and others. Suddenly, arrows flew randomly, and cold light rolled, and no one considered the approaching ones.
Will the people suffer the consequences of being a fish in a pond?
The situation had developed to such an extent that even if Wang Xun gave in, it was impossible. What's more, he could not bear it anymore. He waved his riding whip and deflected an arrow that was shot at him. Then he gave up the whip, whipped the hammer, and pushed his legs hard.
Knocking on the stirrups, "Follow me and kill these guys who don't know how to live or die!"
"Kill all these people who don't know how to live or die!" The personal guards never flinched even when faced with the Dashi cavalry, let alone a group of mobs. They all galloped their horses to follow Wang Xun, waving their swords in all directions, and in an instant
In a short time, the team of thugs were completely stunned.
A passage completely composed of severed limbs and corpses stretched for half a mile from west to east. The tribal warriors who wanted to take advantage of their numbers did not expect that the other party dared to fight back. For a moment, they were stunned on the spot. They could not enter.
There was no way to retreat, everyone's face was full of shock.
"Yu Wenzhi, take a few people to take a detour and use bows and arrows to block the intersections along the street!"
"Sha Qianli, your team turns around and charges back to block their retreat! Wanqi, Shisan, you follow me! Dismount, form a formation, and let's push forward slowly!" Wang Xun quickly turned the horse's head, while
Adjust the formation and give orders at the same time. "Don't let anyone go, I'll kill them all!"
"Promise!" All the soldiers agreed in unison and started taking action separately. In the blink of an eye, the thugs' team was once again riddled with holes. Only then did the tribal warriors and herdsmen who caused the trouble noticed that today's Tang soldiers seemed to be different from those they had seen before.
The guys he walked around were very different in temperament. If they wanted to escape, it would be too late! Wang Xun, Wan Qi Yuxie and others were driven back to the west exit from the east entrance of the street like they were herding sheep, but they were rushed back to the west entrance.
Sha Qianli, who had arranged the formation here, was hit head-on, and suddenly became a ball of fat on the chopping board!
Seeing that the situation was not going well, some people dropped their weapons and prepared to sneak into the alley. Yu Wenzhi led a number of sharpshooters with bows and arrows, chased them from behind, and shot them to the ground one by one. Some of the brave ones swung their swords
They counterattacked, trying to capture Wang Xun and give their accomplices a way out. How could these so-called good players compare to Wang Xun who was fighting on the battlefield? He was hammered one by one by the latter, and all of them were sent to the underworld in the blink of an eye.
"He is the Hammer King!" After paying the price of more than a dozen lives, a sharp-eyed troublemaker finally guessed Wang Xun's identity from the weapon, raised his voice, and shouted a warning. Several people originally planned to step forward.
The tribal warriors who were betting their luck again heard this, and suddenly remembered a legend in their hearts. Immediately, their hands and feet became weak, and they dropped all their weapons to the ground with "Dang Cang" and "Dang Cang".
They were so frightened that they were helpless, but Wang Xun had no time to show mercy. He led Wanqi Yuxie and others and continued to press forward, cutting down the tribal warriors closest to him layer by layer.
Dozens of heads fell to the ground, and even the bravest tribal warriors could not stand firm. They dropped their weapons and begged loudly for mercy: "Spare your life, surrender, Lord Hammer King, spare your life!"
"We know that we are wrong, please give me a way to survive, Mr. Hammer King. We are willing to work as cows and horses to serve you!" Anyone who can come into the city to cause trouble will say a few Tangyin and bow down one by one.
Earth, begging hard.
"A way out?!" Wang Xun sneered from his nostrils, "I beg you for mercy at this time. When you were chasing the fruit vendor, did you ever think of giving him a way out?! When you were waiting to shoot an arrow at Wang, you could
Have you ever thought about giving Wang a way to survive?! I’ll kill them all, no one will be spared!”
"No!" Wan Qi Yu Xie and others agreed, raising their knives and pushing forward again. At this moment, a rapid sound of gongs suddenly came from behind everyone, "Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang, Dang!"
No need to guess, Wang Xun knew that it was the local police officers who came. Just like in Chang'an, the police officers would appear "in time" only after the chaotic scene was over. He frowned and continued to order, "Thirteen, take the
People raise my flag, block the road, and don't let them come. Wanqi, keep pushing forward, and be smarter!"
"Promise!" Wang Shisan and Wan Qi Yuxie agreed in unison and carried out the order separately. Seeing that the tribal warriors and herdsmen were about to die, a familiar voice finally sounded at the end of the long street, "Ming Yun,
Keep people under the sword. Keep people under the sword. The envoy to the field, the envoy to the field, Mr. Zhang, is here!"
"Master Zhang from the Tunnel is here. General Wang, please spare someone under the sword! Please spare someone under the sword!" The officers did not dare to rush into Wang Xun's honor guard. They stood in front of Wang Xun's thirteen horses and all raised their voices to remind him. They were afraid of shouting.
After a while, there were only corpses left on the street.
In terms of the supply of grain, grass and baggage, Wang Xun also asked local officials. Naturally, he had to give face to the field envoys. He hesitated for a moment, raised his brows and said, "Wan Qi, let's keep them for a while. I'll tie them all up and let them go."
!If anyone dares to resist, he will be killed on the spot!"
"Don't dare, don't dare. Let's tie it ourselves, tie it ourselves!" A group of tribal warriors and herdsmen turned around in front of the gate of hell, no longer daring to be arrogant. They all put their arms behind their backs, waiting for the Tang Dynasty master to capture. Wan Qiyu
Seeing this, Xue was both angry and amused. He shook his head and led others forward. He took out the leather ropes from the prisoners' waists and tied them one by one into rice dumplings.
While he was busy, Cen Shen had already arrived accompanied by a civil servant who was about fifty years old. He dismounted his horse from a distance, walked forward quickly, and bowed to the ground, "Cen Shen, who has joined the army in Sicang, has met the interviewer!"
"Xiaguan Farming Envoy Zhang Su, see the interview with the envoy!"
Although the official position was the same as that of the other party, Zhang Su, the envoy to the field, had not been ennobled, so he followed Cen Shen and paid Wang Xun the courtesy of a subordinate. Wang Xun and Cen Shen had some friendship in the first place and did not dare to take advantage of him. He jumped off his mount and turned sideways to avoid it.
He took half a step away, and then returned the favor with a courtesy, "I don't dare, I don't dare. Both of you are Wang's seniors. As a courtesy, it's better for Wang to come up and pay homage first. I just encountered some troubles on the way, so...
.”
As he spoke, his eyes glanced behind him intentionally or unintentionally. The mottled blood stains on his face were illuminated by the sunlight above his head, making him look particularly ferocious. The farming commander Zhang Su secretly complained in his heart, guessing that Wang Xun was not willing to stop easily. Hurry up.
He bowed again and prayed in a low voice: "They rammed into the interviewer's car, and they really deserved death. But for the sake of their obedience all these years, please ask the interviewer to be accommodating! Otherwise...
…”
"Respectful?!" Before Zhang Su could finish his words, Wang Xun's eyebrows had already stood up again. "They stabbed Wang in the street, which was considered respectful. I dare to ask Mr. Zhang, what else do they want if they are not respectful?"
"Assassination?!" Zhang Su was stunned by Wang Xun's question. He hesitantly turned his head to look at the prisoners. At first glance, he was even more distressed. There were a bunch of weapons scattered around the prisoners who were tied up like lambs for slaughter.
Scimitars, straight knives, horned bows, spears, everything. Wang Xun accused these people of trying to assassinate, which was already polite. If he was seriously investigated, it would not be too much to accuse the tribal warriors of gathering a crowd to rebel!
The problem is that Wang Xun can poke a hole in the sky and then turn around and leave. Zhang Su has to stay here to clean up the mess left by the other party. In order to stabilize the Western Front, the imperial court has "gifted" the entire Beiting Protectorate
"It was given to the Huihe people as pasture. If the local tribe was wronged and went to find the Huihe people to take advantage of, the latter would have an excuse to swallow the whole of Anxi.
It doesn't matter if the whole of Anxi is lost. It is said that the imperial court has long wanted to abandon the land. But before the formal imperial edict arrived, Zhang Su did not want to be charged with safeguarding the place. However, he did not dare to offend Wang Xun. After all,
This young man nicknamed Iron Hammer King is Feng Changqing's proud disciple, and he holds in his hand the most complete armed force in the Western Region that belongs to the Tang Dynasty. If he gets angry, he will
I'm afraid not even the whole body can be left behind.
"This, this..." Both parties couldn't afford to offend, and the field commander Zhang Su began to pound garlic in his mouth. Cen Shen, who was standing next to him, blushed and sighed secretly. He took half a step forward and gently offered his hand to Wang Xun.
: "Brother Mingyun, you have come all the way, so you may not know something. The situation in the Western Region is very delicate at the moment, and it can be said that a single move can affect the whole body. Mr. Zhang also tolerates these tribal warriors out of caution. Just watch.
For Cen’s sake, how about letting today’s matter go for now? When the opportunity is right in the future, I will definitely accompany you to say this, brother!”
