Chapter 027 The Changing King’s Flag on the City Head
In the backyard of Baishi Temple, Tuoba Haofeng was pacing anxiously under the tree. He had not seen Nabuyer for a long time. He was really concerned about his sweetheart, but he saw that he had agreed with Taiwei Yang.
The date is coming soon, and he is currently preparing day and night to respond to Yang Hao's army attacking the city. He must not leave at such a critical moment, but Nabuir wants to see him, how can he not come?
"Haofeng!"
With a familiar call, Tuoba Haofeng raised his head happily and saw Nabuiel holding up her skirt and running towards him like a light skylark. Even though Nabuiel's expression was a little panicked, she
Her figure is still as elegant and light as water clouds.
Tuoba Haofeng's anxiety immediately dissipated. He happily stepped forward to greet her and hugged her into his arms: "Nabu'il, I miss you so much."
Nabuiel lay panting in his arms and said softly: "Me too, Haofeng."
Tuoba Haofeng held up her little face and wanted to kiss her impatiently, but Nabuir resolutely pushed him away: "Haofeng, no, I came to you this time for a very important reason.
Let me tell you the matter."
Tuoba Haofeng said in surprise: "What important thing can you have? Oh, is it about your family's caravan? Don't worry, they have my family's pass token, and no one will cause trouble for them.
If there is really any problem, I will definitely come forward to help them."
"No, no, Haofeng, that's not what I meant."
As soon as Nabu'il became anxious, her snow-white jade-like face became flushed with red, making her look even more charming and charming.
Nabuiel's appearance is very similar to that of her sister Ermaina. She has the same beautiful and charming face, the same pair of clear and smart eyes that are as moist as water mist, and the same tenderness that has not been damaged by the wind and frost of the grassland.
The skin is like white snow reflected red by the morning glow.
The difference is that Ermayna is still a girl who has not yet left the court. She looks like a ray of fresh wind, a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, pure, fresh and immature, while Nabuiel is already a charming young woman.
, bright and white teeth, lively and fragrant, with every move, there is a kind of soft magic that penetrates into the bone marrow, and a charming amorous feelings ripple out from between her eyebrows and eyes.
Nabuiel is a timid, meek, and little independent girl. Although she is deeply in love with Tuoba Haofeng, she did not have the courage when her father wanted to marry her to the fat old man Li Guangrui.
She resisted, could only cry silently, and obeyed her father's arrangement. But when her former lover secretly found her, she had the courage to betray the man who held the power of life and death in the entire northwest, and had a tryst with her old lover.
Cheating.
A timid and unassertive woman will often make surprising moves, but what such a person does is not easy to attract attention.
Nabuiel is a woman who easily adapts to life and accepts her fate, but fate does not allow her to drift with the crowd like this. When her sister found her, Ermayna told her father and the entire tribe about the plight and crisis.
After convincing her and trying her best to convince her, she finally plucked up the courage and decided to do something for her family.
She pulled Tuoba Haofeng under the shade of the trees and said eagerly: "Haofeng, what I want to say is what you are about to do. I am very worried..."
Tuoba Haofeng's face changed slightly, interrupted her, and said in a deep voice: "El, didn't I say that this is a matter between men, please don't interfere. If this matter succeeds, from now on
You and I can stay together forever and never be separated again. But if we fail, I don’t want you to be hurt in the slightest. That old man dotes on you very much. As long as this matter has nothing to do with you, he will not
He is willing to do anything to you, but if you get involved, with his ruthless methods, even if he is reluctant to let you go, he will never let you go."
"Haofeng..."
Nabu'il hugged him tightly and said affectionately: "Haofeng, everything you did was for me. Now he is going to kill my people. How do you ask me to stay out of it? Let me help you!
"
"Silly woman,"
Tuoba Haofeng's eyes were a little red: "El, ever since you were snatched away by that old man Li Guangrui, I have been living in endless suffering and humiliation every day. I really can't bear to watch you being taken away by that old guy.
The insult continues. I am an upright man and I want to take back the woman who belongs to me.
It's a pity that Lord Li Guangcen is back, and he also has a strong adopted son Yang Hao. You know, the old man's actions in recent years have made many Tuoba tribe leaders dissatisfied with him. As long as I can
Help Mr. Li Guangcen occupy Xiazhou. I believe that most of the Tuoba clan leaders will change their families and join Mr. Li Guangcen. But Li Guangrui, a man who has lost his foundation, is like a tiger with blunt claws and fallen teeth. He looks scary.
But he can no longer be so majestic.
El, this is a war. What can you do as a woman in this? Listen to me. You go back obediently and act as if you don’t know anything. Try not to see me these days. It’s about time. I
We are waiting for news from the other side of the desert, Lord Li Guangcen's troops will arrive soon."
Nabu'il grabbed his shirt, stared at him deeply, and asked with concern: "Don't you think about the consequences of failure? What I'm worried about is what if Xiazhou cannot be defeated.
, you also know that his soldiers and horses are stationed in all directions of Xiazhou City and at important passes. Once the beacon smoke is ignited in Xiazhou City, they will definitely come back to help immediately, just in case Yang Taiwei's soldiers and horses are not successful at that time.
What should I do if I go into the city?”
"Don't worry, El."
Tuoba Haofeng stroked her silky hair and comforted in a low voice: "I have made the most adequate arrangements. Although Huang Yangping's defenders are not under my control, fortunately, I have full control of An Qingze.
I can control it with certainty. Most of the defenders there are from our tribe, and the deputy general Bai Jinnan there is my confidant. As long as Lord Li Guangcen's troops leave the desert, he can easily eradicate them with his strength.
The group guarding Huangyangping are useless.
And I will let Bai Jinnan kill the Anqingze guard, quickly control the entire Anqingze, intercept and kill the remaining soldiers who escaped from Huangyangping. At the same time, once Anqingze falls into my hands and cuts off the Xun signal transmission, then Huang
Even if the smoke was lit in Yangping, it would not be transmitted to other places one after another. How could the defenders on all sides return for reinforcements if they were not warned? Bai Jinnan could lead Lord Li Guangcen's soldiers and horses directly to the gate of Xiazhou City.
.
From Anqingze to Xiazhou, there are two military posts on the left and right, Wangting Town and Qiliping. However, these two military posts are not guarding the northern line. There is a road in the middle that leads to the ground. Lord Li Guangcen's army does not need to be alarmed at all.
They can drive straight in and reach the gate of Xiazhou City. As for me, I will gather all my close friends and make a surprise attack when he arrives at the gate of Xiazhou City. I will desperately seize a city gate and let them in. I will also gather all my close friends to attack him when he arrives at the gate of Xiazhou City.
The closest defenders are thirty miles away. By the time they see the smoke coming from Xiazhou City, it will be too late to return immediately. By then, Xiazhou has completely fallen into our control."
Nabuyer shook his head and said: "Haofeng, have you ever thought about what to do if Bai Jinnan fails? How many defenders are there in the city? How many people do you have? If you seize the city gate in advance, you will definitely not be able to defend it.
Stay. But once Lord Li Guangcen's army arrives at the city, the four cities are already heavily guarded. Can you guarantee that you will seize the city gate with only one or two hundred men in your hands? If you cannot quickly control the entire city, then Li Jipeng's reinforcements will be
We’ve been killed, what should we do?”
Tuoba Haofeng hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "There is no if, there is no way to have both ends. To capture Xiazhou, there is no more appropriate way than this. If I am 100% sure of dealing with Li Guangrui, why should I wait until
Now, why let you be ruined by that old bastard? In this situation, either he dies or I die!"
"No, Haofeng, you can have a safer way. If you listen to me, you will have a greater chance of success."
Tuoba Haofeng asked curiously: "What can you do? What can you do?" He seemed to have just met Nabuiel, looking at her in surprise. He knew that his sweetheart had always been kind, cowardly, and had no independent opinions.
But I didn't expect that she would have her own opinions on such a major matter.
Nabuyer mustered up the courage and said: "Haofeng, your father is the defense envoy of Xiazhou. Although Li Jipeng is in charge of Xiazhou and the military power is not in his hands, he can mobilize at least one-third of the troops. If he
If I’m willing to help you, wouldn’t I be more confident?”
After hearing this, Tuoba Haofeng's face became a little ugly. He hesitated for a moment and shook his head vigorously: "It's impossible. My father has always been cautious, and...Although that old man Li Guangrui placed restrictions on our clan, he didn't treat my father very well.
He is relatively trustworthy. If Mr. Li Guangcen wins Xiazhou now, my father will definitely vote for him. But if he is asked to serve as a vanguard for Mr. Li Guangcen and take the risk of annihilation and become an enemy of Li Guangrui, he... doesn't have the courage.
.”
"But, you are his son."
Tuoba Haofeng said bitterly: "So what? I only have one father, but he is more than just my son. He is the head of the clan, and he will not plan everything for me alone. If I ask him for help, he will only
He will scold me for being worthless and willing to take such a huge risk for a woman. If he knows that I intend to cooperate internally and externally to coordinate Lord Li Guangcen's troops, he will definitely tie me up and prevent me from having this opportunity."
Speaking of this, Tuoba Haofeng sneered and said: "He has the support of the entire tribe. As long as it is proven that this matter has nothing to do with him, even if Li Guangrui comes back, my father will lose his official position as a defense envoy at most, and at least
He won't be implicated by me. Hey! If he is more afraid of Li Guangrui, he might even kidnap me to plead guilty. I can't take this risk, and I don't want to involve the entire tribe because of my own affairs.
I won’t borrow his power!”
Hearing his tone of voice was full of resentment, it seemed that the relationship between father and son was not very good, but Nabuiel said: "Haofeng, he can't make up his mind, can't we force him to make up his mind? As long as the deal is done, he will
There is no way out, if we have his help, we will be at least 30% more likely to succeed."
At this point, she was already dizzy and said sadly: "Haofeng, I don't want you to take too big risks for me. If there are more opportunities, why not take advantage of them? And... I already have you.
My child, I don’t want him to be unable to see his biological father as soon as he is born.”
Tuoba Haofeng was shocked and lost his voice: "Child? My child? Are you pregnant?"
Nabu'il nodded shyly and happily, and Tuoba Haofeng suddenly said suspiciously: "Is it really my child? Could it be that old man..."
Nabu'il rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "I am the child's mother, don't I know if it is yours? He...he has not been in good health since the winter last year, and after the New Year, he is even worse.
You have... never touched me... and the child has just been born. If it is not yours, who else can it be?"
Tuoba Haofeng was pleasantly surprised. He spun around in circles, rubbed his big hands, and murmured: "No, I can't let my child take his surname of Li Guangrui. I can't...can't be commensurate with my son and brother.
!”
Nabu'il's face turned red, probably because this chaotic relationship made her a little embarrassed. She said quietly: "Haofeng, I'm not afraid of death. If you die, I don't want to live alone, but what about our children?"
Tuoba Haofeng gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "But my father..., how can I make him make up his mind to rebel against Li Guangrui?"
Nabuir said: "I have a way to make your father only stand on your side." At this point, her usual timid expression was replaced by a kind of determination: "And I will also help you.
, I am your woman and a member of the Xifeng tribe. Whether it is for you or for my tribe, I will do my part. This time we will not be separated again. I want to be with you and live together.
, die together!”
Nabu'il told Tuoba Haofeng in detail about her plan to bring her sister over. After listening to this, Tuoba Haofeng looked up and thought for a moment, stamped his foot and said in a deep voice: "That's it, let's fight for it.
Everything is turned upside down!"
The nine-character formula for doing business: divide, endure, remember, be polite, lead, be silly, lose, love, and drag. In the formula for dividing, when it comes to the profit you want, don’t ask for a total price at one go. For a business with a profit of 10,000 guan, just ask for it.
If you ask for 10,000 yuan, anyone will instinctively refuse. However, if you talk in batches and proceed step by step, and he nods once, the probability of success will be much greater in the future.
Yang Hao knew that Tuoba Haofeng was a rough man who was jealous of his reputation and a brave warrior. However, he could sacrifice his life and blood for the one he loved, but he could not sacrifice his entire family.
As a member of the family, especially the eldest son of the clan leader, it has become their instinct to continue and protect the family, so if they want Tuoba Haofeng to completely embark on his pirate ship and tie the entire family to his thief
Ship, the best way is to use this word-parting formula to lure him into the trap first, and when he can no longer turn back, then supplement it with the word-love formula, to broaden the balance in Haofeng's heart to avenge his shame and preserve his family as much as possible.
Finally, I completely leaned towards his side.
Further north from Huangyangping is the vast Gobi Desert, and deep in the Gobi Desert is the Mu Us Desert.
Thousands of miles of flat sand, there are no signs of animals, even the shadow of flying birds is rare to see. Under the scorching sun, a scorpion quickly climbed to the top of the sand dune, danced its two big black claws in a show of force, and then suddenly flew very fast
It burrowed into the sandy bottom, followed by a colorful snake swimming over quickly, leaving a faint trace on the smooth sand surface.
When the poisonous snake felt that there was a goshawk circling in the sky, it quickly burrowed into the sand and disappeared like the scorpion just now. However, the majestic goshawk in the sky did not pounce down. It always spread its wings and kept flying.
Gliding and hovering smoothly in the air with the help of wind...
Soon, a long team appeared in a deserted place in the distance. The team was getting closer and closer. They had horses, carts, and camels. The huge team was huge. I don’t know how many people there were.
Looking from a distance, you can also feel that they are walking with difficulty, as if they have exhausted all their strength.
But when they felt that the sandy soil under their feet was gradually becoming firmer, and plants such as camel thorns, river chrysanthemums, sand holly, and tamarisk began to appear in their sights, and when they knew that they were about to walk out of this damn desert, they did not speed up their pace, but stopped where they were.
They came down. They were the troops led by Mu En, Mu Kui and Ai Yihai. Along the way, they experienced hardships. Some of them fell into swamps, were buried in quicksand, got lost in stormy weather, and were bitten to death by various poisons.
, non-combat casualties exceeded a thousand people, but they finally walked out of the desert as quickly as possible before the water, rice and supplies they carried were exhausted.
Mu En gasped for breath, reached out and took off the leather water bag from his waist and shook it. There was only a mouthful of water left in it. He pulled out the stopper, drank the water in one gulp to moisten his throat, and put his hand on the cool tent.
Looking greedily at the cool river in the distance, he said: "Finally out of this damn desert, let's release the carrier pigeons and wait for the people to come and meet us."
Immediately, someone opened the birdcage from a car, and more than a dozen homing pigeons spread their wings and flew away. The hawk is safer and faster than pigeons in transmitting messages, but the hawk cannot travel far, and it is difficult for it to find the target it wants to deliver if it is hundreds of miles away.
So when Yang Hao was in Khitan and Han, the falcon used the relay station he secretly set up to transmit messages one station at a time. However, there was no way to set up a messaging station in the desert, so as soon as they entered the desert,
They lost contact with any party, and no one knew where they had gone or whether they had lost their way.
They only carried one Haidongqing, a high-altitude warning and monitoring enemy, and more than ten homing pigeons. These homing pigeons were originally raised by the man who was stationed here as a herdsman waiting to welcome them. There were more than ten homing pigeons in total.
They were not afraid of being caught by birds of prey, and the carrier pigeons did not carry any letters. When any one of them appeared in front of the herdsman's tent, it meant that they had arrived.
Mu En narrowed his eyes and watched a dozen homing pigeons spread their wings and fly away, until they completely disappeared from sight, then he turned back and ordered: "The whole army will stay where they are, rest and recuperate, and there will be no restrictions on food and water.
You all need to recover your strength as soon as possible, if something goes wrong in Xiazhou, we will have a tough battle to fight."
Ai Yihai's mouth was dry and he had no more saliva to spit, but he still tried his best to spit: "Bah, bah, bah, childish words are unbridled, the wind will blow them away!"
The son of Xiazhou Defense Commander Tuoba Cangmu is getting married.
Master Tuoba Cangmu breathed a sigh of relief at this. His son has always been trusted by him. When he was an official in Xiazhou, he handed over the entire tribe to his son to take care of him early on. However, the communication between father and son was very successful.
The question is, how much his son admired him when he was a child. Whether he was hunting in Weiwei, or visiting Xifeng, Fangdang, and other tribes, no matter who he forgot to bring, he would always take this son with him. Father and son are so close.
.
But the son gradually grew up and had his own opinions. He always looked down on him for fawning over Li Guangrui for the sake of the tribe. Alas! If you are not a family member, you don’t know how expensive food and rice are. How did that reckless son know the difficulties of being the head of the family? They...
The tribe is a branch of Tuoba, let alone the core of the Li family. If he hadn't tried his best to maintain the relationship with the Li family, their clan would have been squeezed out of the center of power in Xiazhou long ago. How could they still be more or less like they are today?
He is considered a prominent figure.
But that unfilial son didn't understand his father at all, and he didn't understand how much he had done for the entire tribe in Xiazhou. He only knew how to fight and kill. Especially when his childhood sweetheart Nabuyer married Mr. Li Guangrui and did such a thing.
After his wife, the son became gloomy and depressed, and even his father, who hung around the Li Mansion all day long, resented him. Fortunately, the son finally came to his senses and no longer sought death for a woman.
But when Takuba Aoki met his future daughter-in-law, he realized why his son fell in love with her at first sight and was eager to marry her immediately. The girl named Tami Sarang actually had an affair with Nabuiel.
She looks very much like Nabuiel before she got married. My stupid son can never forget Nabuiel.
But... he is finally willing to get married. This is a good thing. As time goes by, the knot in his heart will be untied. This girl Domi Sarang is very beautiful, no less beautiful than Nabouil. Sooner or later, her son will
He will gradually forget the trauma caused to him by Nabuir's marriage to Mr. Li Guangrui.
Duo Mi - the snow lotus on the iceberg, Sarang - the fairy who brings happiness. I hope this snow lotus can heal my son's spiritual trauma and become the fairy that brings him happiness, well... it's best
It will be even more perfect if I bring myself a fat grandson next year.
Takuba Aoki didn't dislike the girl Dome Sarang who was from a humble background and was just the daughter of a businessman. He also didn't dislike her mother, who was as fat and strong as a yak. Her mother was a very philistine, and she especially liked to talk.
Long after they had arranged their children's marriage and sent the mother away, Tuoba Cangmu's ears were still echoing with the chattering voice of the fat woman.
Well, no matter what, as long as the son is willing to get married, it will be fine, even if the girl is the daughter of a businessman and has a talkative mother. Tuoba Cangmu still made the wedding as grand as possible, inviting people from all walks of life in Xiazhou's military and political circles
Heads and heads of tribes, as well as nobles from various tribes in Xiazhou City, came to attend their son's wedding and gave him face. They hoped that after this great event, the tense father-son relationship between the two could be eased.
The civil and military officials and chiefs of Xiazhou were also very happy. After two years of war, they were unwilling to miss every opportunity to have a drink and relax. Besides, Tuoba Cangmu was a good man and a good person.
He was very tactful, very polite to everyone, and he was a very polite old man. He had to show his respect, so all the officials and chiefs who were invited came to the banquet on time.
The defense envoy's house was full of guests, and the roads were blocked by cars and horses. A running water mat was set up in the yard. Thirty cattle and sheep had been slaughtered and were being rolled up and down in the cauldron with boiling water, spreading the rich aroma.
Young men and women danced Guozhuang in the yard.
The float arrived in front of the door, and Miss Domi Sarang was helped into the door by her mother who liked to talk and an uncle. Behind her were gifts in a basket and basket, a hundred pairs of insoles, a hundred pairs of shoes, a hundred pairs of socks...
…
These things should have been handmade by the bride herself since she made the wedding arrangements. They should be made by herself to show the bride's ingenuity. However... these boxes of shoes and socks gifts naturally cannot be from Sami Doran.
The girl made them, even they were purchased by Tuoba Cangmu.
"Well, my in-laws... are really a philistine businessman who doesn't give up anything. If it weren't for my son, I, Tuoba Cangmu, wouldn't have to marry such a family. No matter how beautiful her daughter is, she can only be a bastard when she gets married.
concubine."
Tuoba Cangmu slandered and walked forward with his son. With a bright smile, he welcomed his in-laws and his new daughter-in-law into the hall. The festive atmosphere in the living room immediately reached a climax...
"Woo...Woo..." The horn whined loudly.
Accompanied by the powerful and long horn, a wave suddenly surged up from the end of the grassland. In a moment, the sound of hoofbeats was like thunder, the horses were like waves, and the knights on the horses let out a strange cry of "oh, oh, oh, oh," and kicked the camp directly.
They rushed to the Huangyangping camp along the loess slope.
The people responsible for the defense line in the Mu Us Desert on the northern front are not Li Guangrui's elite troops. There is an insurmountable natural barrier in front of them, and there are no dangerous passes to set up strongholds. It is simply redundant to set up camp defense positions. The reason why troops are set up here is just a routine precaution.
Measures, there are beacon towers in the military camp, their real role is to be responsible for the transmission of beacon fire on the east and west lines, because beacon fire and beacon smoke also have a problem of effective warning distance, if the east and west lines are too far apart when transmitting warning signals to each other in case of enemy situation, the other party will
What cannot be seen is that a beacon tower is needed in the middle to connect the upper and lower parts, so setting up camp here can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The soldiers in the camp never expected that an army of soldiers and horses that could not be seen in a place where there was no chance of an enemy would come out. There was a vast plain around here. The enemy was discovered by them early, but they were used to being lazy.
It took a lot of effort to enter the defensive state. They had to put on armor, find swords and guns, and carry out arrows from the barracks. When they ran towards the low fortification with their armor crooked, a small team of ten people
The iron cavalry was already rushing towards us like huge waves.
Crossbows, sabers, battle axes, spears, and the rumbling iron cavalry rushed by with lightning speed, and greeted them without mercy. For a moment, their heads flew and their waists were broken, their limbs were broken, and blood was smeared all over the ground. The cavalry could not stop for a moment.
Stop, whizzing past, followed by the second ten-man team, as powerful as thunder. This was a one-sided bloody massacre. After the five waves rolled over, there was no longer a living defender in the entire Huangyangping camp.
, the following iron cavalry was still rumbling by, and after a long time, large carts appeared, carrying heavy armor, Mo Dao and Mo Dao Shou, and beside them were veteran soldiers riding tall Arabian horses.
When the dust gradually dissipated, Huangyangping, which had been ravaged by the cavalry, could no longer look like it had been a military camp. Even the corpses on the ground could not be seen as human beings. Only the three-foot-long tower in the middle of the military camp
The high peak fire tower is still billowing with thick smoke...
Anqingze is as peaceful as usual. The consequences of successive wars are that the population on the originally sparsely populated grasslands has become even more sparse, and the traveling merchant caravans that can bring them some new gadgets and wealth are no longer available.
After missing the traces, An Qingze's defenders became even more idle.
There are natural dangers on the northern line, so there is no need for a strong defensive force. The Huangyangping defenders on the outermost line are some old and weak soldiers who belong to the tribe directly under Li Guangrui. The troops stationed on the second line of defense are mostly members of Tuoba Cangmu tribe.
Most of the core members of the Li family of the Tuoba clan were originally assigned to You, Yin, Hui, Sui, Jing and other prefectures. After the elite troops of Li Guangrui's headquarters stationed in Xiazhou were transferred from Shizhou to attack Yinzhou, most of them were lost due to the Western Front.
, the southern front must be on guard against Tubo. The Uighurs broke their promise and came back, and many troops were stationed there, so An Qingze called on Tuoba Cangmu’s tribe. Among the tribesmen in the peripheral tribes of Tuoba, relatively speaking, Li Guangrui was still
I trust the cautious Takuba Cangmu more.
Bai Jinnan is the leader of the Tuoba Cangmu tribe in this military camp. However, although the soldiers guarding here are mostly Tuoba Cangmu tribesmen, Bai Jinnan is only a deputy general. Although the direct lineage commanded by the general is not
Many, but who calls people surnamed Li?
Bai Jinnan is not a Dangxiang Qiang, but a Han. He originally lived in the Luoyang area. Although he is not from a rich family, he is still relatively well-off. Because he was obsessed with Guan Po gambling, he was tricked into losing all his family property.
After his wife paid all the money to others, he became a poor man. He was willing to admit defeat, but instead became the helper of his former gamblers. Later, because those gamblers got drunk and told the truth, he got those gamblers out of anger.
He planned to kill all his gambling friends, and then fled to the northwest far away from Emperor Tiangao. Because he knew some literature and was quite alert when not gambling, he was taken in by Tuoba Haofeng.
own.
Today, he committed another murder, but against a man who once held down a gambling friend who had just been a brother-in-law with a blunt knife, and slowly cut off their necks one by one like killing chickens, until the blood was splattered all over him.
For someone whose face is so blurred that his eyes can't see clearly, this really doesn't mean anything.
He had just led his men to kill several subordinates under Li's command in this barracks. When he walked out of the barracks, he was smiling and looking relaxed.
"My lord, we are all in ambush." A soldier came up to us and whispered.
Bai Jinnan smiled and nodded: "Are there only a few people from Commander Li's side left?"
"yes!"
"Okay!" Bai Jinnan happily ordered: "Play the drums and order the troops."
"Dong dong dong..." The drums sounded, and Commander Li, who was having a drink in the camp, ran out with a dozen or so disheveled people on the left and right sides of his barracks: "Who the hell is playing the drums! Eh? Mr. Bai, what do you do?
What?"
Bai Jinnan, who was fully armored, smiled and bent down: "Commander, I have something important to say to you."
"If you have something to say, just say it, if you have something to say, let it go. Why are you putting up such a show to fool the devil?"
Bai Jinnan straightened up, looked at the dozen or so people walking carelessly, rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "The commander and several brothers have come out."
Commander Li stared and said: "What the hell are you doing? If you have anything to say, hurry up... ah!" He suddenly screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, pointed at the sky in the distance and shouted: "Look, hurry up
Look, the smoke, there is an enemy coming! It’s really strange, how can there be enemies in the direction of Huangyangping? Come on, come on, let’s raise the smoke first.”
Bai Jinnan looked back and murmured to himself: "The movement is so fast. They are indeed an elite army."
He raised his fingers, took two gentle steps, and ordered: "Let's go faster and shoot the arrow!"
"What?" Commander Li, who was approaching, heard these words clearly. He was stunned for a moment. The frightening sound of the bowstring sounded, and wolf-fang arrows were fired from all directions. "Puff, puff, puff..."
Three powerful arrows penetrated his chest in a row, followed by the fourth, fifth... Commander Li's body didn't have time to fall down. His eyes protruded and he stared at Bai Jinnan.
Bai Jinnan smiled cordially and bent towards him: "Master Li, you still don't understand why, do you? If you can hold on, I will tell you."
Commander Li didn't listen to what he said. With a touch of sadness, anger and confusion in his eyes, he fell on his back...
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to Gaotang!"
Amidst the long shouts of the singer, the couple completed the ceremony. The bride wore a red wedding dress embroidered with phoenix birds, a horizontally striped skirt, several silver necklaces around her neck, and a pair of silver necklaces on her head.
The three-eared hat held up the red hijab, revealing a fair and delicate chin. The guests laughed and shouted: "Haofeng, lift the hijab and tell us to take a look at the bride and see what kind of beauty she is. Tell us
The arrogant and rebellious Tuoba Haofeng is finally willing to get married."
Tuoba Haofeng smiled slightly, took the bride's hand and walked to the middle of the hall. He generously pulled off her red hijab, her brows were full of beauty. The moment when a girl puts on the red wedding dress will always be her.
When she is most beautiful, not to mention that this bride is naturally beautiful and fragrant, and she is incomparable.
But once they saw the bride's appearance clearly, the laughter of the congratulators all stopped as if they had been cut off by a sharp knife, and many of them had changed their expressions.
Li Guangrui often brought his favorite Mrs. Ru with him when he met with his staff. How many people who have seen her beauty would forget it? Although she was delicate and charming at that time, she always had a somewhat downcast look and loneliness.
, but this woman at this moment is full of energy, glowing with happiness and beauty, but...she is her, there is no mistake, she is Mr. Li's favorite 18th Mrs. Ru - Nabuir
!
The sudden interruption of laughter from the congratulators and the strange looks they looked at the bride made Master Takuba Aoki slightly confused. He glanced back subconsciously, startling him as well: "This Takumi Sarang
The girl originally only had a 60-70% resemblance to Nabuiel, but why...how come she looks exactly the same when she puts on her wedding dress?"
Although Tuoba Cangmu was surprised, he turned around and explained with a smile: "Dear guests, this is my son's wife, Tami Sarang. Haha, she looks a bit like Nabuiel, right? On the day I made the decision,
I was also shocked when I saw her for the first time, because she looks a bit similar."
Although others didn’t know that the one his son really admired was Nabu El, it was always a bit weird to say that the daughter-in-law his son married was similar to Mr. Li Guangrui’s Mrs. Ru. Tuoba Cangmu had to laugh and said with a smile: “Nabu
El is the most beautiful golden flower on our grassland, and only the king of our grassland, Mr. Li Guangrui, is worthy of possessing her. My daughter-in-law is only a little bit like Nabu El, so I will let you well-informed leaders
Are you stunned? Hahaha..."
Only then did the guests react and burst into surprised laughter. Someone laughed and said: "There are more than just a few similarities, they are exactly the same. No wonder Haofeng can't wait to get married. If I can see such a beauty,
I am also afraid that she will be raped by others..."
"No, my lords, she...is Nabuiel."
Tuoba Haofeng's words were like a thunder, which once again killed the laughter in the hall. Everyone stared at Tuoba Haofeng with their eyes wide open, as if they were seeing a monster. Tuoba Haofeng.
Ba Cangmu's face was extremely ugly. He glared at his son with a greenish-purple color and shouted: "Haofeng, what nonsense are you talking about? How can such a joke be made? What if..."
"I'm not joking, father." Tuoba Haofeng took Nabuy's hand and took two steps forward. Nabuy followed him meekly, her happy eyes lingering around him, and she snuggled up to him like a bird.
Being beside him made Tuoba Haofeng suddenly feel infinitely heroic. Even if Li Guangrui was the reincarnation of the most terrifying demon king on the grassland, he now had the courage to fight him.
Tuoba Haofeng's voice became louder, the sound shook the roof tiles, and he said categorically: "Nabuyer is the woman I love most. But that old man Li Guangrui relied on his power to take her away. Today, please
Your Excellency, I would like to bear witness that I, Tuoba Haofeng, am officially married to Nabuyer. From today on, she is my woman. Anyone who wants to take her away from me must first break my knife and step on it.
It’s only possible by holding my body!”
This declaration stunned the guests in the hall. They seemed to have forgotten to even breathe. There was silence in the hall. People in the yard finally found that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit strange. More and more people crowded in.
In front of the court, looking inside.
With tears in her eyes, Nabuyer said softly to Tuoba Haofeng: "I am no longer afraid, and I am no longer at the mercy of others. Haofeng, even if someone breaks your steel knife and steps on your body,
He can't take me away either. If you live, I will live! If you die, I will die!"
Tuoba Cangmu was so angry that he was dizzy. With trembling fingers, he pointed at Tuoba Haofeng and shouted at the top of his lungs: "You...you...you bastard, are you going to destroy our whole family?"
Tuoba Haofeng hugged Nabuiel and said nonchalantly: "Father, please lower your voice, Nabuiel is already pregnant with your grandson."
There was another muffled thunder, and Tuoba Cangmu was so scorched on the outside and tender on the inside that he could not even speak.
Finally, the guests came to their senses, and Xiazhou Transport Envoy Yu Wuxin said angrily: "Tuoba Haofeng, are you crazy? Nabuyer is Lord Li Guangrui's woman!"
Tuoba Haofeng said indifferently: "So what? Even if she is the real wife he is marrying, according to the rules on the grassland, I can still snatch her from him. He can't protect his woman. If I snatch her away, she will belong to me.
Isn’t it?”
Lu Yelan, an official in Xiazhou, said in disbelief: "Stealing a bride? Stealing Mr. Li Guangrui's bride? Crazy, you are really crazy. If you want to go crazy, you will be crazy. If you want to die, you will die. Don't drag us into this."
Lu Yelan waved his sleeves and left after saying that. Tuoba Haofeng said with a ferocious smile: "What's the point of robbing him of his wife? I want to kill his people, so do it!"
Tuoba Haofeng gave an order, and he had already arranged in the courtyard, hall, and entrance, pretending to be his cronies, subordinates, and tribesmen who were helping him arrange the marriage. The people at the entrance controlled the people entering and exiting to prevent any movement in the hall.
Disclosure. The people in the courtyard kept an eye on the busboys, cooks, Guozhuang dancers, and low-status guests who were eating on the flowing tables in the courtyard, and even forced the musicians to continue playing without revealing anything strange. And the people arranged in the hall
The samurai suddenly took action and started killing.
Tuoba Cangmu had long ago handed over the management of the tribe to his eldest son. He only served as an official in Xiazhou, and devoted himself to smoothing relations with his tribe, striving for better pastureland, and striving for the minimum tribute. Now these people who were transferred from the tribe
The warriors only obeyed Tuoba Haofeng's orders. The leader of the clan shouted at him to stop, but all around him were swords and swords, and blood bursting out.
Pretending to be the family members who were sending off Tomi Sarang, the secret agents of the clan also piled up gift boxes, pulled out swords and guns from inside to seal the door, but it was the people in the hall who pretended to be helpers, wine waiters, and others who started to kill people.
The Tuoba Haofeng clan who served them fine wine and food killed military officials like Lu Yelan and Yu Wuxin, but those with tribal backgrounds only forced them together with knives and did not kill them.
.
After a while, blood spattered the wedding hall, dead bodies were everywhere, and the faces of the tribal leaders who were held captive by weapons turned pale. Tuoba Cangmu groaned, almost fainting: "It's over, it's over, you... you unfilial son, you have killed me..."
One family and one clan are all destroyed. My clan will be removed from the world from now on..."
"Father, why should you panic? Lord Li Guangcen has returned to the northwest grasslands and is about to lead his troops to seize Xiazhou. It is not us who are going to die, but Li Guangrui!"
"What did you say?" Tuoba Cangmu seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked hurriedly: "Lord Li Guangcen? He is here? Where is he?"
Tuoba Haofeng did not answer, but turned to the chiefs, clasped his fists and bowed deeply: "Dear chiefs and uncles, I am really sorry for frightening everyone. Everyone knows that I am the commander of the difficult task, Mr. Li Yi.
After Mr. Li Yi died of illness, Mr. Li Guangcen should have succeeded him. However, Li Guangrui's father, Li Yiyin, expelled his nephew to steal the throne. Mr. Li Yimin, the governor of Suizhou, once raised an army to rebel, but was outmatched and was killed. Li Yimin expelled his nephew and killed his younger brother. What a surprise.
mean!
And what did his son Li Guangrui do after he became the governor of Dingnan Jiedushi? The war in our northwest has never stopped, and the lives of the tribes of your leaders are becoming more and more difficult. Is such a person worthy of being the lord of my northwest? Is he worthy of being the leader of my northwest?
Am I the head of the Tuoba family? Now that Mr. Li Guangcen is back, I believe that all the leaders understand the righteousness and will support Mr. Li Guangcen's restoration so that our northwest tribes can live a peaceful and prosperous life.
Tuoba Haofeng will not harm you leaders. Please rest in the backyard first. After I have taken Lord Li Guangcen's troops into the city and picked up Lord Li Guangcen, I will invite you leaders to come out to meet me. Offended.
Yes, please."
Those leaders knew that they had become hostages and were about to be put under house arrest, but in front of them were bloody steel knives. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only hold their noses and endure it. Besides,
, now that the brothers Li Guangcen and Li Guangrui are fighting for power, before the situation becomes clear, it is a lucky thing that he is not forced to express his position. Anyway, he has the backing of his tribe members. If he has no choice but to do it, Tuoba Haofeng will not dare to kill him.
, and he was escorted down by his trusted guards.
As soon as the leaders left, Tuoba Haofeng immediately beheaded himself and knelt in front of Tuoba Cangmu: "Dad, the child is unfilial. He did not report to his father in advance and insisted on going his own way. He committed such a big thing. Please forgive me.
"
Tuoba Cangmu said indifferently, "That's all, you have grown up and your wings have hardened. I, an old guy who is half buried in the ground, can no longer control you. The matter has reached this level, and you still ask me for help?"
What kind of crime did you commit? As a father, I can forgive you, but Mr. Li Guangrui... how can he be willing to let it go?"
Tuoba Haofeng said: "Father, Master Li Guangcen has sent troops, why should we be afraid of Li Guangrui?"
Tuoba Cangmu's expression changed and he asked urgently: "Li Guangcen... Lord Li Guangcen... where are Lord Li Guangcen's troops and horses now?"
Tuoba Haofeng said: "They passed through the Mu Us Desert and came from Huangyangping and Anqingze to Xiazhou."
"Crossing the Mu Us Desert?" Tuoba Cangmu gasped. He originally didn't believe that Li Guangcen's soldiers and horses could hide from the eyes and ears of the people and suddenly appeared at the foot of Xiazhou City, but if they crossed the Mu Us Desert... then...
It may not be impossible, but...crossing the Mu Us Desert? Is this possible?
At that time, the only means of transportation were livestock, and it was inconvenient to carry drinking water and food. It was possible for caravans to cross the desert occasionally. It was because of continuous exploration since ancient times that small oases were found in the desert. Merchants used these to
The oasis serves as a relay station, wandering through the barren land. The precedent of a large army marching is extremely rare, and the location of the Mu Us Desert makes it unnecessary to cross this sea of sand, so no one has ever gone deep into it and explored it.
The path, the depths of the desert, is really a place where no human footprint has ever appeared since ancient times. How can a large army carry a large amount of baggage across such a completely unfamiliar desert?
Tuoba Cangmu grinned as if he had a toothache. Tuoba Haofeng saw his expression and hurriedly added: "Dad, they crossed the desert three days ago and rested in the Gobi for three days. Now they have flattened the ground.
After leaving Huangyangping, we went straight to Xiazhou."
Tuoba Cangmu moved slightly, but said coldly: "If you step on Huangyangping, there will be Anqingze. If you step on Anqingze, the smoke will spread to Wanjingkou, Sanchakou, Qiliping, Wangting Town, and Dasha."
Heap..., soldiers and horses from all directions came back to support them after hearing the police meeting. I am afraid that before they entered Xiazhou City, they would encounter the returning soldiers and horses."
Tuoba Haofeng asked: "Dad, have you forgotten whose tribe the people guarding Anqingze belong to? The smoke signal will not be spread."
At this moment, Tuoba Cangmu was really moved. He was silent for a long time and suddenly said: "There are fifteen thousand elite soldiers in the city. If we guard the city, we can resist a hundred thousand troops."
Tuoba Haofeng said: "Dad can control at least five thousand soldiers and horses among them. He can cooperate with the army sent by Lord Li Guangcen and cooperate internally and externally. Are you afraid that you will not be able to capture this city?"
Tuoba Cangmu sneered: "Do you think Li Jipeng is a vegetarian? His ten thousand soldiers and horses are the best among the best, and they are also equipped with the best bows, horses and armor. As long as he leads his troops to attack, my five thousand soldiers
How worthy of a blow?"
"Li Jipeng?" A strange smile slowly appeared on Tuoba Haofeng's face: "Li Jipeng... I'm afraid he can no longer mobilize any soldiers."
"How is it possible, he..." As Tuoba Cangmu said this, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Guangrui's 18th wife, Nabuyer, and reacted suddenly: "You... what did you do?"
Nabu'il raised her skirt, knelt down in front of him and whispered: "Father-in-law, my wife poisoned all the wells in the Jiedushi Mansion, just before breakfast, and now I must be..."
Tuoba Cangmu was shocked and said: "Did you poison them all?"
Nabu'il was startled and said quickly: "No, Haofeng said that the poison only takes effect in about two hours, can make people sleepy, and is not fatal..."
Tuoba Haofeng was unsure and said: "What I got is powder made from Mandala flowers. If you throw it into the well water, it shouldn't be fatal, right?"
Tuoba Cangmu's cheeks twitched and remained silent.
Tuoba Haofeng said anxiously: "Dad, everything is ready now. As long as dad is willing to mobilize his troops to help, and Li Jipeng's elite troops are leaderless, why worry about Xiazhou? Can dad really watch his son being killed?
Did you see your wife and your grandson being killed? If my father was afraid of Li Guangrui, he would have kidnapped the child and sent him to plead guilty."
Tuoba Cangmu looked up to the sky and sighed: "My dear son, you have done everything possible, how could you ever give dad a second way?"
He raised his eyebrows and walked away. Ermaina, who was pretending to be a man, and several of her men immediately stopped him with swords. Tuoba Haofeng stood up hastily and shouted: "Dad, where are you going?"
Tuoba Cangmu snorted and said angrily: "I'm going to the military office to gather the generals and mobilize the troops!"
