Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 203: Journey

Views:

Lu Dongzan was so shocked that he didn't know how to describe his shock. This young master was so ruthless and decisive!

Seeing Chisang Yangdun's open mouth being pierced by an arrow, his eyes widened and he couldn't believe what was happening to him.

Chisang Yangton tried his best to stretch out his arm and point at Li Hong. His throat was pierced by the arrow and he could not make a sound. The resentment in his eyes seemed to be that he wanted to eat Li Hong alive.

The sound of breaking through the air started again, and another arrow hit Chisang Yangdun's left chest.

Arrows were shot out one after another, and not a single arrow was wasted. They all hit Chisang Yangdun's chest. It was not until the last arrow hit the center of his eyebrows that the arrow rain stopped suddenly, as if in the night, that person had never appeared. The arrow of life.

"What else do you want to explain?" Li Hong took out the sheath of the horizontal sword, and the cold blade flashed with murderous intent.

"Who are you? What is your purpose next?" Lu Dongzan accepted his fate. He did not expect that he would be buried here.

From the young man's eyes, he could feel the strong murderous intent. Although the flag was raised, the young man obviously had no intention of letting him go and was obviously confident of annihilating all of his two thousand people.

"Prince Li Hong of the Tang Dynasty, his goal is to advance into Tubo and kill everyone." Li Hong said calmly.

With the knife in hand, Lu Dongzan's head, with eyes closed, slowly rolled towards the fire as the Tibetan caravan's shouts of death were heard, and his gray hair caught fire.

"Kill without mercy." Li Hong put his sword back into its sheath, picked up the crossbow on his right side, and took the lead in rushing towards the Tubo people who were rushing towards him from the opposite side.

The moonlight didn't know when it hid behind the still white clouds again, as if it didn't want to see such a one-sided bloody killing!

The donated blood splashed onto Li Hong's face, and the horizontal knife in his hand brought out handfuls of blood flowers. Most of the white fur on his body had been stained crimson.

Quan Yi, who was originally following him, has now entered the enemy pile.

Huameng, Mangzhong, Banmei, and Xunlan protect Li Hong from the front and left. The horizontal knife in his hand seems to be a life-hungry devil. Every knife will take away a fresh life.

Capture the thief first and capture the king first. The death of Lu Dongzan caused the strong will of the Tubo warriors to collapse in an instant. The head next to the fire was engulfed by the fire carried by the mountain wind and was roasted beyond recognition!

Fresh donated blood spread in the night sky. The mountain eagles and other scavenging birds that had returned to their nests were awakened by the howls of Bai Qi's group of wolves. They stood on the edge of the nest on the cliff and watched indifferently as humans killed each other.

The corpses of more than 2,000 people soon covered the path, and the nearby ravines and bushes on the Gobi were also filled with corpses.

"Master... someone escaped." Hua Meng's eyes were sharp as he watched a black shadow fly across the valley mouth quickly, bringing up a slight dust.

"Catch him and kill him. Don't let anyone escape." Li Hong slashed open the neck of the Tibetan man who was forced by Ban Mei and had no power to fight back, and said coldly.

Hua Meng looked at the battle situation, then took the order and quickly chased after the figure.

Just as Hua Meng left, a black shadow suddenly shot out from behind and chased after Hua Meng.

"Master, Bai Qi has passed."

"Ignore it." The fighting was coming to an end, and Li Hong had already started pacing on the battlefield.

This battle made him seem to have found the days when he followed Bai Qi to fight.

Dawn gradually emerged from the deep and tired night, with a trace of reluctance and a trace of hesitation, slowly dragging the rising sun in the east and hanging in the sky again.

The choking smell of blood still lingered on both sides of the valley mouth after spreading out in the middle of the night. The corpses were frozen by the night's cold, and the camel team was trapped together.

All the goods on him were strictly inspected, and the cement was still among them.

Li Hong, whose eyes were bloodshot, was very angry. He kept shaking his head, mumbling and cursing!

Who is this person! Why is there a shadow of him in White Clothes Dashi, and why is there still a shadow of him in Tubo today

As he walked to the two camels that Lu Dongzan was riding on, he saw that the soldiers around him were concentrating and holding their breath, watching Li Hong approaching, each one with a nervous expression.

"What did you find?" Li Hong had a bad feeling.

"Please protect me from your anger..."

"Say." Li Hong took a deep breath, and there was an unpleasant smell of blood in his chest.

"I found a few things in the medicinal kitchen." Manzhong lowered his head and said nonchalantly.

"Brush..." Li Hong drew out his horizontal knife and slashed at Mang Zhong's neck.

The horizontal knife was only a millimeter away from his neck. The still-sharp blade had already made Eg Zhong's hair stand on end, and a terrifying murderous intention seeped from the blade into the depths of his heart.

Li Hong dropped the horizontal knife in his hand and walked quickly towards the two camels. He saw a tightly sealed wooden box placed there.

And another identical wooden box has been opened.

Comparing the two boxes of things, Li Hong's originally troubled heart relaxed a little. These were just some auxiliary materials for gunpowder, and they couldn't even be called explosives, and they still lacked many key substances.

And it has not been prepared before. I think Lu Dongzan only knew that these things were important, but he didn't know how to use them. He probably wanted to take them back and study them.

But how did these things leak out? The energy of that mysterious man is getting bigger and bigger. Is he the same person as the one who gave away the cement in white clothes

Li Hong fell into deep contemplation. Who caused trouble for him in Chang'an? What about disrupting my mind in the Western Region

The entire battlefield has been cleaned up. In addition to the food needed along the way, the camel team contains some cement and black gunpowder. The others are more tea, silk, soap, soap and other items.

Glass products were very expensive and fragile, so they were carefully stored separated by furs by the Tibetan caravans. This shows how valuable these things were in Tibet.

Quan Yi's men only had about a hundred wounded and no deaths. In any case, this was a complete victory and a one-sided massacre.

"The wounded soldiers returned to Khotan, while the others continued south to Tubo." Li Hong glanced at the team of more than 2,000 people and said coldly.

"Daduhu..." Quan Yi felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth. Daduhu was going to go straight to Huanglong!

"Don't disobey. Time waits for no one, seize the day. I'm afraid Yuan Shuji has already started heading south to Dafeichuan. If we can't rush over from here, we will only kill Yuan Shuji." Li Hong has been planning for two years, and now it is time. Something was gained.

"General Protector, our numbers are too small, and the general thinks it is not appropriate to move forward..." Quan Yi picked up the horizontal knife that Li Hong had thrown away from the ground, with the handle facing Li Hong.

The intention is obvious. If you want to set off immediately, you should kill the last general first.

Li Hong did not take the sword, rubbed his hands back and forth and said, "Where are your other five thousand people?"

"Pishan." Quan Yi replied with a dull head.

"Lawless has arrived at Pishan. It doesn't even take half a day to get here. Immediately order everyone to go to Dabolu."

Li Hong walked forward without looking back. Quan Yi was attracted by Yiyang. How could he not understand that the reason why he dared to disobey his orders was because the number of people was too small to guarantee his own safety.

Of course, when he went to the Western Regions, Yiyang had given him instructions. Otherwise, even if he had ten more courages, he would not have dared to disobey.

To enter Tubo, one must pass through many small countries such as Dabolu and Xiaobolu that are attached to Tubo. However, because these small countries are beyond the reach of the Tang Dynasty, they can only be controlled and suppressed by Tubo, and indoctrinated with Tubo culture.

A force of two thousand men is enough for Li Hong to travel through these small countries.

After killing Lu Dongzan, if you want to enter Tubo immediately and create greater chaos when the domestic situation in Tubo is chaotic, you must do it quickly.

What's more, up to now, Quan Yi's seven thousand men have been switching defenses in the desert pretending to be thieves, while Lawless has been guarding Khotan for more than a year.

Together with Xue Rengui and Hei Te Changzhi of Shule and Sui Ye, they formed an unshakable line of defense.

But for more than a year, Li Hong's Iron Buddha Temple seemed to have disappeared from the world, silently and without a trace. No one knew where they went.

The hardships and mountain roads to get to Tubo, especially the Silk Road as the only way to trade, have unimaginable beauty and tranquility.

It also makes people have more expectations for the innocence of the geographical environment and the purity of human thoughts cultivated.

The population of Big and Little Bolu was very small, small enough to be compared with the nomadic peoples in the Congling area above and to the north. Naturally, it was unable to have an adverse impact on the Tubo and other regimes.

But in the eyes of the Tubo people, especially in the eyes of Lu Dongzan, the actual ruler of Tubo, their existence is like a watchdog at their own door. Their only use is to serve as eyes to monitor the large number of people in the Tang Dynasty. People and horses come in and out from here.

When Wang Xuance was sent to Tianzhu as an envoy, he took this road that seemed to have no road. However, Wang Xuance was in another country. After his other companions were killed, his feat of destroying a country by one man also led to the death of Lini Boluo.

From this, it can be seen that the Tang Dynasty never had absolute control over Tubo and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It had to act as an equal country and rely on its resourcefulness to gamble for the influence of the Tang Dynasty. war.

Simply, destroying a small country, far smaller than Nibala, can be regarded as an easy task for Wang Xuance.

But the chain reaction of this was that Tianzhu and Tubo at that time noticed the existence of a powerful neighboring country, Nibala.

In order not to repeat the same mistakes and not to be exploited by the Tang Dynasty, it was reasonable for Tubo and Tianzhu to destroy Nibala.

And this has naturally become the place where Li Hong is staying now, and Xiao Bolu's creed: When you fight between gods in the sky, don't affect our small country.
