On the south bank of the bridge over the Wei River, the Tang army's camp was in a state of mourning.
General Qin Qiong was about to fight the Turks at night, but Prince Li Shimin suddenly entered the camp wearing armor and wanted to go into battle himself to teach these bastards a lesson.
Although Qin Qiong tried to persuade him, Li Shimin did not listen, and the reason was very good. The Turks came to his door before he ascended the throne, so he had to take action. Moreover, Li Shimin was about to attack the country. This was all a small battle.
"Erlang, I will give you a mission to personally protect His Highness the Crown Prince. The two thousand people are still under your command, but the mission is no longer to raid the enemy, but to protect His Highness." Qin Qiong patted his shoulder and solemnly explained.
"Mr. Yi Guo, do you want to lead the night attack?"
"Who else could I be?"
In the past, when Qin Qiong followed Li Shimin to conquer the world, whoever dared to show off his troops in front of Li Shimin's army, Qin Qiong would rush over without saying a word and kill the enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops.
Now, the Turkic wolves are asking for peace on the surface, but secretly invade Chang'an City a few days before the crown prince ascends the throne. How can this be tolerated?
"Although I have been ill for a while, I have been recovering for two months now and am much better. Tonight, let me wear armor and hold a spear to fight for His Highness for a while!"
There were explosions and fire everywhere.
The Sogdians of the Tang Dynasty, comparable to the Jews of later generations, are now not only very wealthy and able to make money, operating trade on the Silk Road, but they have also been migrating eastward in the past two hundred years, and a large number of Sogdian barbarians have entered.
After establishing settlements, these people had a strong sense of autonomy. Even the Tang Dynasty, which now unified the world, was extremely polite to them.
"I have long heard that the An family of Wuwei is famous. Among the sixteen heroes of Wu De, the brothers of the An family occupy two seats. That is why they are unique and famous all over the world."
And those that are beautifully decorated and made by famous craftsmen are worth tens of thousands of silver coins, which can easily cost as much as a horse.
Qin Qiong had no choice but to pull it out, and then repeatedly ordered the two of them to personally protect the prince's safety.
An Yuanshou kept flattering him along the way, and his mouth was as smooth as honey. This guy was indeed a Sogdian barbarian. Huaiyu had long heard that a Sogdian man had given birth to a son, so he wanted to put a piece of stone honey in his mouth.
Honey glue is also smeared inside, in the hope that the children will be able to talk sweetly when they grow up.
"It has been more than a hundred years since my ancestor, the prince of the Anxi Kingdom, moved east to Hexi and settled in Liangzhou after his misfortune. My grandfather was already the Duke of Guixiang County in the Northern Zhou Dynasty..."
Li Shimin was so brave that he cut off the heads of three enemy generals under the heavy protection of Huaiyu and others. He also singled out the leaders to behead them while the smaller soldiers ignored them.
Huaiyu was wary of them, but he was still willing to contact them and even cooperate with them.
It's getting darker.
The two found Qin Qiong and asked to borrow a hundred palm thunders.
Huaiyu declined.
The knife was decorated with gold and silver and inlaid with precious stones. When he pulled out the blade, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Damascus sword?"
"I'm not old yet, so don't try to persuade me!"
"Your Qianjintang is very popular now. Every time my servant goes to buy something, he has to make a reservation in advance. Yesterday he bought some new products, Zhangzhou Baoyu fire salt bricks and snow grain salt, as well as the fragrant sauce, noodles
Alkali are all good things,”
Based on this calculation, a long sword is worth 96,000 yuan, and a short sword is worth tens of thousands.
An Yuanshou was even more surprised. People in the Tang Dynasty generally called the Damascus pattern sword the Uzi sword, but Wu Huaiyu not only recognized the sword, but also called it by that name.
At the beginning of the Li Tang Dynasty, An Xiuren served as minister under Li Gui in Hexi, but An Xinggui surrendered to Li Yuan in Chang'an. He later volunteered to return to Hexi alone, and joined his brother An Xiuren to liberate Li Gui, the king of Daliang, who refused to join the Li Tang.
After they were destroyed, Li Gui, his son, brothers and others were captured and escorted to Chang'an, and the Hexi prefectures were surrendered.
"No no."
Willow branches on the moon.
An Yuanshou was very young, but like Lu Huairang, he took the initiative towards Wu Huaiyu, "Since I don't mind my brother, I will give you the Wuzi knife when the time comes, and you can give me some elixirs, fire salt, and fragrant pepper in return."
As soon as Li Shimin entered the enemy camp, Huaiyu and the others lost control. He rushed wherever there were more people, and Huaiyu and the others had to follow closely.
As for the enemies of the Tang Dynasty, the Eastern and Western Turks on the grasslands, there were also a large number of Sogdian barbarians in their areas, and their hands and eyes could reach the sky.
We had already stepped up our vigilance at night, hoping that Jieli Khan would arrive as promised after dawn, but in the end he still didn't wait until dawn.
"When we met for the first time, I was in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, so I gave Erlang this pocket knife." An Yuanshou saw that Huaiyu was also very friendly, so he directly wanted to recognize Huaiyu as his brother, and even gave him a knife immediately.
Li Shimin had been urging them to move forward at a high speed. When they arrived, Qin Qiong and the others were already happily throwing palm thunders and throwing torches everywhere. The 20,000 people in the Turkic camp were in chaos. During the day, they were driven by Feng Li and Uncle Xie's wheels.
After seven fierce battles, they were already exhausted.
"Brother, are you looking down on our Zhao Wu Hu?"
After all, in Longyou, he had already seen the fierce appearance of archers carrying swords, sticks, and long axes on the front line of the battle to kill people.
Wu Huaiyu had no choice but to follow An Yuanshou to find Qin Qiong to borrow the palm thunder.
"Erlang also knows about Damascus?"
The Sogdians are good at doing business, and after a man reaches the age of twenty he has to travel far to do business. Being able to speak well is the basic skill of doing business.
Cross the river at night.
Everyone has begun to put on armor, even Li Shimin has put on armor. It is not a golden armor, but a black and wind-damaged Mingguang armor full of traces of wear and tear. It is quite simple and unpretentious, but you can tell that this armor must be
The materials used are extraordinary.
An Yuanshou is very young, only sixteen years old, and very handsome. He has a Caucasian appearance with a typical Persian style, black curly hair, a round beard, a high nose, deep eyes, and green eyes.
After Jieli broke into Guanzhong and stationed in Wugong, Qin Qiong wrote memorials to Li Shimin every day, asking him to lead his troops to attack Jieli. Li Shimin never agreed. Now that the other party has come to his door and paid 20,000 bastards, this can still be done.
Pass?
During the day, only two generals, Feng Li and Xie Shufang, were allowed to fight. This was not because of the previous sectarian opinion, but because they were afraid of frightening them away.
An Yuanshou said that their An family also had some business, and they liked Qianjintang's products very much, and hoped to cooperate with Wu Huaiyu in the future.
Huaiyu followed the guards in fear. Li Shimin looked down on the little bastard, so Huaiyu and the others helped him fight hard.
Seeing that Li Shimin still wanted to continue chasing, Huaiyu quickly grabbed his horse's rope.
The two generals of the Forbidden Army, Zhang Shigui and Zhou Shaofan, ran directly to the front.
"Stop asking."
He actually mentioned a Mo Dao instead of a Ma Shan. However, remembering that Li Shimin and Li Yuanye were both very famous marksmen, Huaiyu felt that it was normal that he did not use the Ma Shan like Yuan Ji.
"I've heard something, I've heard something. I've heard that this sword is not that expensive. A short sword like this is worth a hundred pieces of silk. If it's a long sword, it's even worth hundreds of pieces. It's said that a good knife is worth a lot.
Is it worth several hundred taels of silver?"
But they come from a family with two dukes. His father, An Xinggui, was granted the title of Rong Guo Gong instead of Liang Guo Gong. His uncle, An Xiuren, was granted the title of Shen Guo Gong. Both brothers are generals of the Wei government. What’s even more remarkable is that their An family is in Liangzhou.
Wuwei, a powerful man in the world, has always been the autonomous leader of the Sogdian merchant group in Hexi, Sabao. Even in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the An family had been granted the title of governor.
An Yuanshou said with a smile, "Erlang is really astonishing. This kind of pattern knife was forged by Persian craftsmen a long time ago. They purchased Uzi steel ingots from Tianzhu. It is named after its unique pattern and its sharpness. Later, we millet
Special merchants sold Uzi knives made by Persian merchants to Damascus, Syria, making the world think that the knife was made in Damascus...
At the beginning of the year, this guy had just entered Li Shimin's Prince Qin's palace as a descendant of a distinguished family and served as a low-level bodyguard, Kuzhen. Now he is already a sixth-grade Qianniu guard. This is not because he has made any great achievements. He was just sent to the Xuanwu Sect that day.
I went to garrison Jia Fu Gate and saw no blood.
Huaiyu had a good impression of this handsome guy who was very sweet when he spoke. He would reach out to avoid hitting the smiling person. If he took the initiative to get to know you, he had no reason to refuse.
One person destroys a country, starting with peace and prosperity.
"How can I be afraid of a hundred cavalry guards, and flying cavalry to fight with me? If I can't even deal with the 20,000 bastards who arrived at Chang'an City, how can I defeat Jieli's 200,000 cavalry?"
The An family is the largest local snake in Liangzhou. At the same time, they are also the leader of Zhaowu Sogdhu in Liangzhou. At the same time, the An family is also very rich.
"Since Brother An likes this little side business at home, I can just say hello to the shopkeeper."
Li Shimin's eyes glared, and everyone had no choice but to shut up.
When they returned, Huaiyu and An Yuanshou were already close brothers.
Li Shimin mounted his horse and waited no longer.
Even though he is now a sixth-grade Qianniu warrior, he still has braided hair.
In the Western Regions, the main currency in circulation is imitation of the silver coins of the Sassanid Dynasty of Persia. One silver coin can buy a bushel of highland barley, which is equivalent to thirty-two coins of the Kaiyuan Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Highness, the thunder in the palm of my hand explodes like a thunderbolt. In a night attack and melee, the war horses are easily frightened. It is better to give the thunder in the palm to the soldiers who are leading the charge." Huaiyu said helplessly.
Zhou Shaofan and Zhang Shigui are still trying to persuade Li Shimin to watch the battle on the south bank tonight.
"All the thunder in the palm of my hand has been given to Duke Yi, and I no longer have it in my hands."
Qin Qiong led his troops across the river first.
It is precisely because of the achievements of the An brothers and the strong influence of the An family in the Hexi Sogdian Group that An Yuanshou was already in the sixth rank at the age of sixteen.
Although Qin Qiong's words were not high-pitched, they were extremely domineering, with an aura that looked down on the world.
"Yuanshou, you and Huaiyu will go to Duke Yi to ask for a hundred pills, and then ask Shenjifang to make up for them later."
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Huaiyu had four palm thunders in his waist and a Mo Dao in his hand, and An Yuanshou and An Yuanshou firmly protected Li Shimin.
"An Yuanshou, Qianniu Preparation, has long heard about Wu Erlang's magical powers, but unfortunately he never got a chance to see him. Today, he finally got to see his grace. He is really majestic and majestic..."
"Huaiyu, give me a few thunderbolts in my palm, and I will use my thunder to scare the ugly crowd!" Li Shimin saw Huaiyu coming in and waved with a smile.
"This knife is worth several young slaves. It's too valuable. I can't accept it." Huaiyu had long heard of the name of Damascus steel knives, but there were too many fake ones in later generations.
Qin Qiong's offensive was like a fire, and he had already entered the Turkic camp. Li Mengchang and General Gongsun Wuda, who had been recharging their strength in Xianyang City for a long time, had also broken out.
"Your Highness, the Turks have been defeated and have abandoned their camp and fled. Lord Yi Guo has led his troops to pursue them. Let's go to Xianyang City first."
Li Shimin holds a bow and a sword on his back.
Huaiyu was surprised when he heard this and gave away a sword worth tens of thousands of dollars. Just for this?
If a tiger doesn't show off its power, it's really a sick cat.
An Xing Gui Wude initially served as the governor of Liangzhou. Later, this official position was held concurrently by Li Shimin. The An brothers were subordinate to Li Shimin. One of them guarded Hexi and the other was an official in the court. The two parties had long had an extraordinary relationship. Before the Xuanwu Gate Mutiny, the An family
The brothers even sent the family's eldest son, An Yuanshou, directly to the Prince of Qin's Mansion to serve as Kuzhen, and he was loyal and accepted the certificate of submission.
"It's just a small knife. I will personally visit my brother at his house another day. Then I will pick out some long knives and give them to my brother."
In Gaochang, Qiuci and other places in the Western Region, a long sword with a Damascus pattern costs three thousand Persian silver coins."
Huaiyu went to report to Li Shimin.
Rockets set fire to the Turkic camps, and lances and sabers knocked down the Turkic vassals.
Even wherever Li Shimin goes now, he always takes this handsome boy with him.
Not long after we crossed the river, before we saw the Turkic camp, we heard shouts of death coming from afar.
The archers of the Tang Dynasty were all powerful monsters.
At this time, Zhang Shigui, Zhou Shaofan and others who had been paving the way for Li Shimin's charge also came back and firmly disagreed with Li Shimin's continued pursuit.
"What's the point of killing a chicken with a bull's-eye? Duke Yi is already on the move. None of these bastards can escape. Your Highness, please go to Xianyang City to rest first."
Li Shimin still had some unfinished ideas. Seeing everyone's hard persuasion, and seeing that the Turks had indeed dispersed, he had no choice but to throw away his sword and said, "That's all, go back to Xianyang City."
Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Huaiyu and An Yuanshou, "Take the heads of the three Turkic thieves that I killed personally. When I arrive, I will give them to Jieli in person!"
