When the Tang army returned to Shazhou, Changsun Chong caught wind and cold and was overworked, so he couldn't afford to fall ill.
Naturally, the army could not stay in Shazhou and wait for Changsun Chong to recover before setting off. Hou Junji just comforted him with a few words and told Changsun Chong to rest in peace and recuperate, and return to Chang'an after he recovered. Then he led the army and set off on the return journey day and night.
.
Changsun Chong lay down in the post station in Shazhou for a whole day. In the early morning of the next day, he quietly left the city under the protection of several soldiers.
Shazhou City is located in an oasis in the desert, with abundant water sources in the middle and surrounded by desert. At the intersection of the oasis and the desert, there is an endless expanse of salt-alkali land.
There is a huge temperature difference between day and night in the desert, and the temperature is the lowest in the early morning. Chang Sun Chong was wearing a thick robe, riding on a horse, and looked around.
The saline-alkali land, slightly dampened by the early morning dew, opened up cracks thicker than a thumb, spreading towards the sky.
Between the salt-alkali land, there are clusters of gravels. Although there are some unknown weeds, they are so withered that only the branches are left. The eyes are desolate, but from time to time, wild thorns and camel thorns are growing vigorously.
Green and green. They use their exuberant vitality to despise the harsh living conditions around them, turning a blind eye to the dangers and dangers around them.
The more difficult life is, the more great it becomes.
There was heavy sound of hooves in the distance, and a group of knights rode in.
After a while, the two sides met.
Changsun Chong stared coldly at the knight in front of him, focusing on the face of a knight wearing a felt hat and sitting on a horse as majestic as a mountain.
This man has a copper face, a wide mouth, brow eyebrows, triangular eyes, and a beard as straight as a steel needle under his chin. The leather robe on his body is old and greasy, and his chest is exposed to the cold wind in the morning.
.
"Aren't you Turks known as wild wolves that roam the grasslands and deserts? Why did you abandon your helmets and armor and be defeated when facing two thousand infantry? It's absolutely useless!" Changsun Chong said angrily.
These Turks are just idiots with muscles but no brains. Not only did they miss their own thing, but they also allowed themselves to leak the details. Now both Hou Junji and Fang Jun are doubting the Turkic cavalry's attack on Shenji Camp.
It's because of his own instructions.
Collude with the Turks!
This is a serious crime that can completely confiscate a family and exterminate a clan...
How could Changsun Chong not be frightened and frightened?
Even if his father is Changsun Wuji, he cannot bear such a serious crime!
Many years ago, because of his carelessness, he was caught in a transaction with the Turks. He had to change his family's political stance and lost a lot of profits!
Several times, we were dragged down by the Turks. These guys are simply idiots!
Facing Chang Sun Chong's scolding, the Turkic knight narrowed his eyes slightly, and a fierce murderous aura poured out instantly, causing Chang Sun Chong to lock on tightly, as if he would gallop forward on his horse the next moment, and kill Chang Sun Chong under the horse with a single blow.
!
Changsun Chong shivered when he was stared at by his cold eyes, and his heart suddenly trembled.
The soldiers who came with him were all battle-hardened warriors. Feeling the threat from this Turkic knight, they quickly stepped forward to block Changsun Chong.
The atmosphere was a bit tense.
"Ho ho ho!" The Turkic knight let out an extremely unpleasant laugh, showing his rotten teeth, staring at Changsun Chong and saying: "Young Master Changsun feels wronged, can we Turks feel better?" At this point, he said
His face changed, and he yelled ferociously: "Who said they were just a bunch of rabble? The Great Khan valued the friendship with you, so he sent a thousand 'affiliated' soldiers, led by his brother, Zuoxiang Cha'a
Shi Nabudai personally led the team and galloped hundreds of miles to eliminate your opponents, but what was the result? It was the mob you mentioned that killed and defeated a thousand "attached" soldiers. Even the left wing Cha Ashina was not
Daidu has been captured and taken prisoner, how are you going to explain to the Great Khan?!"
Changsun Chong was speechless.
Although he has always been in the Shenji Camp and knows a lot about military training, he has never seriously studied the level of Shenji Camp's combat effectiveness, and he has never paid attention to "Zhentian"
How much of a deterrent is "Thunder" to the cavalry!
In his impression, no matter how elite the infantry is, it will never be as good as the cavalry. This is the natural restraint of the arms. What's more, the Yugushe Khan sent the most elite "attached" cavalry among the Turkic cavalry?
Changsun Chong was silent, but the Turkic knight said aggressively: "Young Master Changsun has a noble family and a distinguished status. Compared with not doing anything to rescue Ashina, he is just a little effort. The Great Khan has an order. No matter what price you pay, Young Sun Chong will do it."
We must rescue General Ashina Budai, otherwise, we will present all the accounts of Young Master Changsun’s transactions with the Turks over the years to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!”
Changsun Chong sneered: "Do you think His Majesty will believe it?"
What is the use of the accounts? Without real evidence, would His Majesty Li Er believe that his eldest son, Sun Chong, colluded with foreigners and sold prohibited materials such as beef tendons, rhinoceros horns, and iron materials?
What a joke!
Regarding Changsun Chong's attitude, the Turkic knight seemed to have expected it, and sneered: "Master Changsun, does he think that a single account book is not enough to convince the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty? Haha, if coupled with the last time Master Changsun requested my family to sweat,
Where are the witnesses who sent troops to attack Shenji Camp?"
"Witness?" Changsun Chong looked confused. Where is the witness?
The Turkic knight said proudly: "Do you think you Han people are the only ones who can play tricks? To tell you the truth, just when the Great Khan promised you to send troops, he had already sent people to Chang'an. All you have to do is capture a servant in your mansion.
, using coercion and inducement to make him a witness, I guess it won’t be a problem.”
Changsun Chong said angrily: "Even so, how can your majesty believe one-sided words? You underestimate your majesty's favor for the Changsun family!" These Turks are really despicable, how can they think of such a damaging method?
The Turkic knight chuckled: "I don't know whether your Majesty believes it or not, but in fact, the attack on Shenji Camp was indeed arranged by Young Master Changsun. Considering the cause and effect, how can His Majesty not doubt it? Moreover, Young Master Changsun
Don’t forget that General Ashina Fudai is not a very strict person. If His Majesty the Emperor imposes some punishment on him, he might say everything..."
Changsun Chong broke down in cold sweat.
He was really panicked...
What this Turk said is correct. In fact, there is no need for Your Majesty to believe it. It is enough for Your Majesty to doubt it.
According to His Majesty's temperament, once suspicion arises, there is no need for any so-called evidence!
Maybe he won't do anything to his father, but he will definitely relegate himself to the cold palace and ignore him!
This is something Changsun Chong absolutely cannot accept.
His ambitions are lofty, and he only wants to be a high-ranking official, be granted the title of marquis, and become prime minister. He will help His Majesty make the Tang Dynasty become stronger and stronger, and be famous in history!
Consigned to the cold palace, disappointed?
Absolutely not!
"I will definitely try my best!" Changsun Chong could only say through gritted teeth.
He didn't dare to face the possible consequences, so he could only fall deeper and deeper into the trap of the Turks. But he secretly regretted it in his heart. He had already fallen into trouble with the Turks many years ago, so why did he continue to go further and further on this road?
Woolen cloth?
It’s not that I’m not smart enough, it’s not that I’m not alert enough, it’s just that the simmering fire in my heart is about to completely burn my intelligence!
He wants to show the world that he is an upright man!
The Turkic knight sneered: "It's not that I try my best, but I must! And let me tell you good news. The Great Khan asked me to give you a message. He will personally lead an army to attack Gaochang and crush the Shenji Camp into powder and bones.
Flying ashes! Of course, this time it’s free!”
Changsun Chong perked up: "Is this true?"
The Turk knight curled his lips disdainfully: "We Turks are the descendants of Sirius. We are invincible and brave. We promise a lot of money. Even if we lose our heads, we will keep our promises. How can we be like you Han people, who are as treacherous as eating and drinking water?"
I said this, but I was thinking in my heart: They say Han people are smart, but that’s not necessarily true...
The Han Chinese who looks like a girl in front of me is a bit stupid. It is true that the Great Khan intends to kill the Shenji Battalion, but that is because the Shenji Battalion has brought great shame to the Turkic Wolf Cavalry. As a Great Khan, he must
If you want to get this face back and wash away the shame with the heads of two thousand soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, how else can you convince the public?
We just said that casually to sell you a favor. How the hell do you really believe it...
