Chapter 49: Waiting to enter the urn

Luo Shixin really didn't expect that the Turks were so bold. Even Jie Li chose to retreat three feet after seeing him and evacuated from the Shuobei grassland. The herders who emerged from somewhere actually had the courage to run to their Tang Dynasty territory to grazle. Isn't this causing trouble for him, the new governor of Xiazhou?

In Luo Shixin's eyes, the alien race was wrong even to breathe. Now they not only ran to the scope of his jurisdiction to scatter and urinate, but also boldly brought the sheep and horses together, eating the water plants of their Tang Dynasty. This is tolerant, but who is intolerable?

Seeing Luo Shixin so angry, Ma Zhou smiled and said, "I don't think they dare to be arrogant on the head of the general. Our Tang Dynasty border army is weak and everyone knows. After the general was the governor of Qingzhou for only more than a year, he changed the border soldiers' atmosphere and allowed the border soldiers to be reborn and achieved brilliant results in succession. Who doesn't know that the general has the ability to turn the world upside down? How dare he be arrogant for no reason? Maybe he just saw that the general lost his position and had the courage to come to Shuobei."

Luo Shixin was stunned when he heard this.

Liu Rengui followed and said, "It is most likely that. Everyone knows that the general withdraws from the governor of Qingzhou. I believe that it is impossible to hide the secret spies on the grassland. The Turks are as afraid of the general as tigers, wolfs, snakes and scorpions. When the general is withdrawn, they will surely pass the good news into the Turks as soon as possible and tell the Turkic Khan chiefs from all over the country. The grasslands in Shuobei are rich in grasslands and the climate is very suitable for their survival. They are one of the Feng Shui treasures that the grassland people yearn for the most. Jie Li led the people to withdraw, and our Tang Dynasty failed to take over it as soon as possible. It naturally attracted the snooping of greedy people. They did not dare to move in directly with the tribe of their pride, so they sent herders to Shuobei to grazing and test the trends of our Tang Dynasty."

Luo Shixin's eyes were swept over Ma Zhou, Liu Rengui, thinking about their words. He asked: "In this way, they have not received the news that I have been appointed as the governor of Xiazhou yet? They have never known this news, and their actions will become more and more bold?"

Luo Shixin's eyes were shining with a strange light, thinking about something.

Luo Shixin's words surprised Ma Zhou and Liu Rengui one after another, and understood what Luo Shixin was referring to. The former nodded decisively and said, "That's right. The general was removed from the position of governor of Qingzhou. Because of his resignation, it caused a lot of controversy. On the other hand, the general was transferred from the court to temporarily serve as governor of Xiazhou on his way back to Chang'an, but only our group and the officials of the Qingzhou Prefecture."

Speaking of this, Ma Zhou suddenly said hurriedly: "General, call General Mo back immediately, and then send someone to notify all the officials of the Qingzhou official residence. Gather them together and ask one by one. Seeing whether they had missed it, they told who they were all. We are investigating the trend of Qingzhou and see if the people know that the General was renamed the governor of Xiazhou. If everything is normal, the plan is feasible."

Luo Shixin no longer hesitated and asked Wang Xuance to do it himself. Wang Xuance was smart and experienced and better at riding skills, so he was the most suitable candidate.

Wang Xuance also understood the whole story and rode away without hesitation...

Shuobei Grassland Border!

As time passed day by day, Gelusili's eyes became more and more greedy, and his expression became more and more excited.

There is no tribe in the Turks who does not covet the Shuobei grassland.

No matter how many changes are, some natural laws cannot be changed.

For example, the climate in the north is colder than the south, while the temperature in the south is higher than that in the north.

The north is the more this is. In later generations, there was a well-known general term for the Mongolian Plateau. This Mongolian Plateau is not a vast grassland as imagined, but a barren and deserted place composed of two parts of the Gobi Desert. Only some places have dry grasslands with short grass, suitable for the development of animal husbandry.

There are high in the south and low in the north. The intermittent dry and detrimental hills are eroded, and the climate is very harsh. The winter is cold and long, for more than five months, accompanied by heavy wind and snow. The summer is hot and short, with few precipitation. The climate is erratic and unstable, and there are often sudden weather changes. It is often the early autumn weather is still clear and cool. In an instant, strong winds are blowing, sand and stones are flying. Sometimes it may even suddenly fall. The plateau ground is open and complete, with gentle ups and downs. The ancient erosion and razing surface is significant, and the wind and sand are spreading, which is why it is known as the "wide sea".

Even if the environment is so harsh, the grassland people will still fight for the little grassland to the death.

But Shuobei Grassland is different. Shuobei Grassland is the only grassland close to the south that is suitable for grassland people to survive. Moreover, because it is close to the south, there is sufficient water and grass. The environment is certainly not good compared to the Central Plains, but it is much better than the Mongolian Plateau.

Every time the Central Plains is weak, the grassland people will snatch the Shuobei grassland back, and this is the reason.

Shuobei Grassland is the most suitable place for grassland people to survive, but Shuobei Grassland is too close to the Central Plains that the leaders on the grassland cannot build the capital in Shuobei. Most of them arrange the strongest and most loyal tribes to enjoy this beautiful and rare treasure land.

This is why Jie Li arranged the Ashin Congli here.

Gelusili naturally had ten percent of his coveting for the Shuobei Grassland, but Luo Shixin's existence made all tribes on the grassland stop, and no one was willing to follow the footsteps of Ashina Congli, but the news of Luo Shixin's dismissal aroused his greed. In recent years, he and Jie Li went south to the Central Plains with many, and knew the situation of the Tang Dynasty's border soldiers.

It is generally recognized that the combat effectiveness of the border soldiers in the Tang Dynasty was poor. Although Luo Shixin's successor to the Governor of Qingzhou made a huge change in the border soldiers, he did not believe that the always weak army could undergo complete changes in just over the years. Even if there were any, it would not be comparable to the Lion of the Hundred Battles that the Turks had fought for years. The reason why the border soldiers were so powerful was that Luo Shixin. Once Luo Shixin left, the border soldiers could not be the opponent of his strong soldiers.

With this thought, Gelusili decisively extended the clutch of the demon to the Shuobei grassland. After all, he was also the leader of a clan and did not recklessly press the entire tribe on. The Tang Dynasty is indeed strong at present, which is also an unchangeable fact. He did not rashly drive the military tribe into Shuobei for some reason, so as not to anger the Tang Dynasty and trigger an unnecessary war.

What he said in front of Tuli was extremely majestic, and was simply giving himself a face. He asked him to agree to the decision to seize Shuobei, but he was cautious and did not dare to underestimate the Tang Dynasty today.

He drove cattle, sheep and horses into the Shuobei grassland in the form of grazing, and tried to stir up the reaction of Tang Chaoshuo. If the Tang Dynasty was really as they thought, they would not pay much attention to the grassland when farming. Let him come and go freely and not care at all, he would move the military and horse tribe over, and he would have been safe.

Geluosili was also careful. Yesterday, he arranged six thousand sheep and four thousand horses to grazing on the Shuobei grassland, and did not dare to go too far. While sending people to stare at Shuofang, he reminded the herdsmen to be careful. When he heard the warning, he immediately withdrew from the Shuobei grassland.

But as they imagined, Shuofang had no reaction to their grazing and even had no choice but to interfere.

Seeing this, Geluo Sili became more courageous. The next day, he tried to increase it a little, and the third and fourth days were still the same. After four days, he sent 20,000 sheep and 10,000 horses on the Shuobei Grassland, and the momentum was quite shaky, but Shuofang still ignored it.

After more than a day, Shuofang had no movement. Gelusili became more arbitrary. He did not continue to throw the cattle and sheep from the tribe into the Shuobei grassland, but he built a sheep pen and horse pen in the place where they grazed, and asked the herders to find a suitable place to live and set up a tent. After living there, he transferred the tribe people into the Shuobei grassland little by little.

Until this day, Geluosili received news about Turkic Turi.

"King Khan urgently ordered that Glorosili Khan immediately stopped all movements in the Shuobei grassland and immediately withdrew his territory. No hesitation is allowed?"

"Why is this?" Geluosili did not immediately execute Tuli's order. Even in the Central Plains, there were people outside. The king's order was not accepted, let alone the Turks, whose monarchy was not in high power situation. Now Jie Li is already a grasshopper in autumn. He can't jump for long. Tuli will unify the grassland sooner or later, and at that time he will occupy the richest grasslands of the entire Turks. Just thinking about Geluosili, the grassland chief, was excited, and seemed to have seen his tribe prospering under his control.

It was all at this point, but he let him go, and he couldn't do it anyway.

The messenger seemed to have expected that Geluosili would defend against the rebellion, and hurriedly said: "It was Luo Shixin... Luo Shixin appointed as the governor of Xiazhou and is in office."

When Geluo Lusili heard the three words "Luo Shixin", he was frightened for no reason, but when he heard that the governor of Xiazhou was not clear, he couldn't help but say, "Where is Xiazhou? What's the matter with Guanshuofang?"

It turned out that the Tang Dynasty changed the system of the Sui Dynasty and changed the Shuofang County of the Sui Dynasty to Xiazhou. However, because Shuofang County was always occupied by the Liang army, the name was not called out.

Geluosili only knew Shuofang but not Xiazhou. However, when he heard that Xiazhou was also the alias of Shuofang, he showed a look of horror. A horse whip fell on the face of the messenger and said sternly: "You didn't say such an important thing earlier... hurry up, light a wolf smoke... inform the tribe members in the Shuobei grassland to withdraw quickly."

The dark wolf smoke soared straight into the sky. On the endless grassland, there was no more effective warning tool than wolf smoke.

"Khan, what is that?"

Just when Gelusili was uneasy, the guard beside him suddenly pointed at the three black and thick wolf smokes floating high on the right.

These three wolf smokes seem to confirm the premonition that Geluosi is not good at strength.

He did not arrange any people at that place, and it was obvious that someone had sent a message to him again.

In the Shuobei Grassland, who else will be there except the Tang Dynasty during this period?

Geluosili gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone goes straight to the camp to protect his tribe." With his order, 20,000 Turkic soldiers rushed into the Shuobei grassland.

Before he ran thirty miles, the dust was flying all over the sky on the far horizon, as if thousands of troops were rushing towards him, with a blast of momentum.

Geluo Sili thought of rushing over in one breath, but thinking about the brave and fearless figure in Dapan Mountain that day, two thousand people chased their 100,000 troops to kill the worldly brave warrior. The courage that came was like a pot of cold water in winter, and it was wiped out completely. He also thought that Tuli and Jie Li were now at a critical moment. The rise and fall of the entire tribe was pressing on the next battle, and it was really difficult to really get into evil with the Tang Dynasty, so he issued a gesture to stop moving forward.

The 20,000 Turkic soldiers stopped slowly at a certain speed and stopped, showing extremely powerful basic skills in equestrianism.

When the stop order was issued, they immediately issued an order for standby and combat. If the opponent did not stop within a certain distance, then they would not sit and wait for death and let the opponent rush into the group of soldiers.

Geluo Sili looked at the situation opposite nervously, and his heart was beating into his throat, but he saw that the other party's speed had stopped.

The large army still slowed down, but only a few soldiers rushed towards them without stopping.

Geluosili looked straight ahead, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley: as the distance narrowed, he gradually saw clearly the person coming, the person he would never forget in his life. The man in the opposite direction was wearing a shiny armor. Against the backdrop of the armor, he seemed to be a war god emitting this strange silver light, and the fiery mount, red and white intersected, which was particularly dazzling.

It was the banks of the Hulu River. After a quick separation, Luo Shixin never wanted to see again...

Luo Shixin is now full of glamor, but in his eyes it overlaps with the figure who had been fighting hard at the foot of Dapan Mountain for most of the day... Scarlet armor, scarlet spear and scarlet war horse...

The opponent rushed out of an arrow with lightning speed, and then stopped on the spot, with uniform movements. More than a thousand running cavalry actually stopped in this short blink of an eye.

In addition to being shocked, Gelusili's eyes were also shocked: the Turks were famous all over the world for riding and shooting, but they were far from able to do this trick. When it comes to riding, they were not inferior at all, but such tacit cooperation was their fatal point.

Luo Shixin rode alone in front of Geluosili, leaning his head and saying with a little contempt: "Who are you? How dare you lead your troops to run wild in my Tang Dynasty?"

Luo Shixin is not burly, but he is very tall. In addition, Chi Piao is tall and strong, and he is even more powerful than Geluosi.

Geluosili could only lean his head slightly and said calmly: "Below is the tent of King Tuli Khan, Geluosili, the chief of the Geluo tribe, and the son Geluoga, and the general, were intersected by the general. The war horses used by the general Po Ashina Congli were provided by our tribe."

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Geluo Sili knew that the other party might be the murderer of his son, but he had to get closer.

"Oh..." Luo Shixin looked suddenly enlightened and said, "You are the Geluosili who took advantage of the situation and raised the price when he knew I was urgently using a war horse and then slandered me for killing your son?" (To be continued)
