Tang's dining table

Of course, Yunchu had no determination to live or die with Kucha City, let alone Kucha City, even Chang'an City.

This is a situation where a hero is going to emerge.

This is where the story of a hero leading the rabble with 800 thoughts in Kucha city defeated the Turkic army, and finally the army triumphed.

Yunchu felt that he might not be able to become this hero. There was no possibility of him becoming a young hero of the Tang Dynasty in this situation. In the end, he soared into the sky and climbed to Lingyan Pavilion.

The probability of death is too great, too great.

It’s just a job, there’s no need to risk your life, right?

Therefore, after returning to the mulberry forest, he brought his bay red horse back from the stable, fed him some concentrated feed, and washed the horse carefully. In a few days, he would be able to run as far as he wanted. Where's the horse?

There was no shortage of beef and mutton in Daguanling Yamen, so Yunchu spent the whole day making beef jerky, mutton jerky, and fried noodles with butter.

Crushed walnuts, almonds, chickpeas, dried radish and spinach powder are added to the butter fried noodles. Just eating this kind of fried noodles can meet all the nutrients a person needs. .

On the third day, Fang Zheng was indeed sent to Xizhou to recuperate, but the cause of the injury changed a little. The document said that he fell from his horse while summoning the peasants. There were no good doctors in Qiuci, so he needed Sent to Xizhou to recuperate.

A very normal process. It was only mentioned once in the document. Fang Zheng left, and the Daguan Ling Yamen was led by Hu Zheng and He Yuanshan. Liu Xiong became the new Hu Zheng. Oh, Yun Chu also took a step forward and became Da Guan. Make sure there are documents with names and surnames in the yamen.

Fang Zheng was a very loyal person. Before leaving, he gave Yun Chu a gold teapot and six gold tea cups.

Both the gold pot and the gold cup are gilded with a thick layer of tin, and the workmanship is beyond words beautiful. At first glance, they are the work of the best goldsmith in Kucha City.

People from the Western Regions are worse at other things, but when it comes to goldsmithing craftsmanship, it is indeed worth mentioning.

It's just a set of beautiful gold pots and gold cups made of tin, which has the smell of traveling at night in brocade clothes.

Yun Chu got a set of tea sets, so He Yuanshan should have gotten more. From this, it can be seen that Yun Chu said that Fang Zheng only received 4,000 guan a month. There was something fishy about it. It was true. Qian Guan left more things behind.

The job of the scribe Zhang Gu is to manage the document warehouse! This is a very pure civilian position, and there is no need to go out to fight. It is said that this result was achieved because Fang Zheng carefully entrusted He Yuanshan with it before leaving.

Not following Fang Zheng out of Kucha was not Yunchu's choice, but Lao Yangpi's choice. In other words, Lao Yangpi himself had no choice. He was trapped in Kucha city by the people of Tang Dynasty Ninth Zhechong Mansion. .

Today's Kucha City is a huge construction site, overcrowded everywhere. The dilapidated city walls of the past have been completely built, at least on the surface. The dilapidated city gates of the past have also been guarded with iron bars by craftsmen from the Western Regions. The thick timbers were enclosed.

He Yuanshan has been patrolling the city wall day and night these days, and the heads he ordered to be chopped off are hanging on the city gate, staring at the barbarians who want to be lazy and slack in work.

Yun Chu had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. In the Western Regions, almost all Tang Dynasty officials had the power to kill people without being held accountable.

All the grain in the city is sent to special granaries, and livestock are driven to a special large pen to be slaughtered.

In the past, the Qiuci Market was still somewhat prosperous. Nowadays, there are not even a few ghosts to be seen. He Yuanshan got angry this time. Even the orchids dancing in the market had to go up to the city wall to carry wood and stones. .

The old sheepskin old god was lying on an orchid bed, taking a nap, and there were two beautiful orchids beside him, shaking feather fans for him to cool off.

Hearing the sound of Yun Chu's boots, Lao Yangpi opened his eyes slightly, looked at him and said with a smile, "What, you think of me?"

"You already knew there was going to be a war, right?"

"Of course I already knew that in the past year and a half, Ashina Helu bought so many young people from me. If he was not sure that these extra people would be consumed by him, he would be crazy. He will only buy young people who exceed the upper limit of his tribe's acceptance.

You must know that the population of each tribe is actually constant, so that it can match the pasture and the number of cattle and sheep.

Not only I know about Ashina Helu's rebellious intention, but also the emperor of Tang Dynasty has known about it for a long time. Now he is waiting for Ashina Helu to come to Qiuci to fight to the death. "

"Aren't you going to run away?"

"Run, of course I have to run. I want to wait until these people in Zhechong Mansion of the Tang Dynasty can't bear it anymore and we all run away together. This way, we will have people watching us on the way."

"You are so old and can't run fast. The Turks will catch up and kill you."

"Fool, the Turks will only drive away a group of people who have been defeated by them, and will never kill them on the way. They need this group of people to spread fear and spread the heroism of the Turks. This is more effective than killing them. value."

"Where is your secret passage?" Yun Chu asked directly after Lao Yangpi finished talking.

"What secret passage? There is no secret passage here."

Yun Chu pointed to the clear water channel in the yard: "Do you think I will believe it?"

"That's water coming out of a karez. If you think a karez is authentic, it is."

"Give me an accurate answer. This is related to whether you can survive. I don't want to make any mistakes in this matter."

Lao Yangpi rolled his eyes and lazily left the bed. Hu Ji pushed the bed away hard, and Yun Chu tucked the hem of his robe on his belt and walked down the tunnel step by step.

When Yun Chu came out again, he was already on a high slope two miles away from Qiuci City. Not far away was a Populus euphratica forest.

In autumn, when the Tarim River floods, water less than a foot deep submerges the entire Populus euphratica forest. The green Populus euphratica forest is reflected on the calm water, forming a beautiful picture together with the white clouds and blue sky.

The Tarim River is called the "unbridled wild horse", which means that the river has no definite channel at all. Where it wants to flow depends entirely on whether there is sufficient water this year.

This year, the water volume looks good and has already flowed from Khotan to Kucha.

When Yunchu looked at the Populus euphratica forest and the Tarim River again, there were still some people standing not far away, looking at the Populus euphratica forest and the Tarim River.

Some people look familiar, they should be businessmen from Kucha City.

Kucha City has a thick layer of loess, which is tough and fine, making it a good place for digging cave dwellings and karez wells.

In other words, the secret passage leading from Qiuci City is definitely not only owned by Lao Yangpi, but all merchants with some strength have this thing.

Yunchu, a man from the Tang Dynasty, stood at the exit of the secret passage. He quickly attracted the hatred of the businessmen, so a group of people wielding scimitars rushed toward Yunchu in a chaotic manner.

Yun Chu squatted by the water, washed his hands, and after drying his body, he got back into the secret passage and closed the door of the secret passage.

Returning to the yard where Lao Yangpi lived again, I was surprised to find that Lao Yangpi was gone, and Hu Ji was also missing. Just now, the bed where Lao Yangpi was still lying was now covered with a layer of dust, as if it had been vacant for a long time. ,long time.

Yun Chu was a little panicked. The reason he dared to stay was because Lao Yangpi's trump card was Lao Yangpi. He was sure that Lao Yangpi would have an escape route, but he didn't expect that Lao Yangpi's retreat arrangement would be so rough and ordinary.

When I came to the overcrowded city wall and looked towards the Zhe Chong Mansion barracks, it was quiet there. Even the big flag with the Chinese character "Tang" on it was hanging weakly on the flagpole. There were no guards on the military camp or at the gate of the military camp. Arriving at the guard post holding a spear, a flock of birds would land in the military camp from time to time, and then fly up in a hurry.

Yunchu's uneasy mood became more and more intense.

Although He Yuanshan kept beating the civilians with his whip and Liu Xiong's roaring voice kept ringing on the city wall, they could not give Yun Chu any sense of safety.

At this moment, Yunchu felt that the expressions of the barbarians around him were extremely strange, and there was a fierce light in their eyes.

Yunchu wanted to run away... but Kucha City was located on a plain, and he didn't know which direction to escape was correct. After all, Ashina Helu's army would appear from anywhere.

Yun Chu hurried back to the mulberry forest. Fortunately, Hou San was still there, but this guy fell asleep and was still drooling.

The bay-red horse was still there, and Fang Zheng gave him a gold pot with tin on the surface. The gold cup was also there. There was a bow hanging on the wall, and there were thirty-six arrows in the quiver.

Old Sheepskin sat with his back against the wall, like a painting.

"Are you scared?" Lao Yangpi threw Yun Chu's new Tang Dao to him.

"You'll find courage in this thing."

Yun Chu shook his head, slowly pulled out the Tang Dao from its scabbard, and swung the knife at Lao Yangpi angrily.

"Don't try to influence me!"

The Tang knife was blocked by a scimitar, and Lao Yangpi's clear eyes were behind the blade, full of appreciation and praise.

"You're getting more and more interesting."

A powerful force suddenly burst out from Lao Yangpi's small and thin body, pushing Yun Chu out.

Yun Chu staggered back a few steps before he regained his balance. Lao Yangpi put on his black sheepskin cloak, walked slowly past Yun Chu, and whispered to him: "You can't leave, Ashina." Tru's cavalry are already coming from all directions, and you will see them soon."

"If I don't want to go to the battlefield, no one can force me to go to the battlefield."

"Child, that is not a battlefield, it is just a place to test you. By the way, let me tell you, the reason why Ashinatru chose Kucha City as the target of this battle is because he listened to my words."

The Hu people are the Hu people. Yun Chu has lived in the Sai tribe for thirteen years. How could he not know how they view the Tang people?

It is not surprising at all that Lao Yangpi has an affair with Ashinatru.

"If I didn't stand the test and got killed, would you save me?"

"No, people who the Buddha thinks are interesting will definitely not die. If you die, it means you are not that interesting!"
