Chapter five hundred and forty-second: young general Qin Huaiyu
Chapter 542: General Qin Huaiyu
"Sir, has your Majesty already arrived in Luoyang?" On the official road, Gao Shang glanced around with some doubts. Fifty soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were guarding him, accompanied by an official wearing a green official robe.
He was accompanying himself with a smile. This was a normal team to protect the envoys. In the past, Gao Shang would not have cared much about this trip. But what surprised him was that among this team, there was a handsome young man.
The general was among the troops and saw a pair of golden maces on his back. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Who is this person? Gao Shang knows it very well. These days in Chang'an City, I don't know anything else, but I can hear the rumors clearly. Back then, Qin Qiong and Qin Shubao had a pair of golden maces, which he used to fight all over the world.
The invincible warrior in Shandong was left to his son Qin Huaiyu after his death. This son made many military exploits on the way to suppress the rebellion. The golden mace has almost become his symbol.
"Qin Huaiyu? Why is he here?" Gao Shang's expression changed, but he did not say anything. At this time, he realized that the faces of the soldiers around him were cold. Although they looked no different from ordinary soldiers, they were just in terms of momentum.
There is nothing different, but if you look carefully, you can clearly see the difference. The biggest difference is in their eyes. Their eyes are lifeless, as if there is no sign of life.
What is this? This is no longer a soldier, but a dead soldier. Gao Shang's complexion suddenly changed, and his heart became even more frightening, because the soldiers escorting him were really too weird.
"Shangchao? What, what's going on!" Gao Shang looked pale, and finally couldn't help asking, and the word "sir" in his mouth also changed to "shangchao", which shows his respect for the Tang Dynasty.
"Haha, sir, don't be nervous. General Qin will personally escort him. On the one hand, General Qin is going to Luoyang to meet His Majesty, so he is just passing by. On the other hand, hehe, sir, do you know that your life is not simple now! It is said that someone has
I'm ready to come and take your life." The accompanying official said with a smile: "That's why my family assistant will send elite soldiers to escort the leader, in case there is an accident in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, we will let him go when the time comes.
Some people are happy."
"Oh, then there will be more assistants." Gao Shang's face changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his heart, but more of it was endless doubt. The Heman tribe where Gao Shang lived was adjacent to the Tang Dynasty.
Advanced civilization is also very familiar and longed for. It has to be said that the Han people in the Central Plains are mostly known for their cunning. Every time the Heman tribes exchange goods with Central Plains merchants, they always suffer losses. They have been fooled many times, no matter what.
Stupid people can also become smart. Gao Shang is undoubtedly this kind of person. He has become much smarter after suffering a lot. It seems that this matter is related to the other four tribes, or to the Tubo tribe, but the same
, who can say that this matter has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains? Things like scheming are not unheard of in the history of the Han family in the Central Plains. Sometimes, what you see with your eyes may not necessarily be true. Noble
He decided that before he had actual evidence, he was unwilling to speak or say what was in his heart. He just nodded and silently followed the team towards Luoyang, secretly fighting with the barbarians.
The soldiers who followed him quietly gathered around him, not only to guard against attacks from others, but also to guard against attacks from soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Huaiyu saw this in his eyes and smiled secretly in his heart, but did not show it on his face. His eyes were shining brightly, and he looked around with a look of warning. This time he was ordered to go to Luoyang to meet the emperor.
Although he didn't know why the emperor summoned him, he still came. When he arrived in Chang'an, he was summoned by Cen Wenwen again, and led dozens of people to escort Gao Shang to Luoyang. Before leaving, Cen Wenwen repeatedly told him to protect him.
Noble security. And it is strict that someone will come to assassinate you along the way.
Qin Huaiyu had long been trained by his father to be both civil and military, and he had the same demeanor as his father. He also knew clearly who Gao Shang was, and this person did have a lot to do with him. What made him suspicious was that Dajun
Before leaving, the weird smile on Cen Wenwen's face seemed to be foreshadowing something, but it made him unable to imagine what was in it. He couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only be the old man.
Honestly led dozens of people to escort Gao Shang towards Luoyang...
"Where is this place?" Qin Huaiyu suddenly pointed to a mountain peak next to the official road and said. There were hundreds of palaces faintly visible on it, standing on the mountainside. Under the setting sun, it was brilliant and magnificent, which made people dizzy and couldn't help but
Applause secretly.
"Young General, you don't know. This is the Hongnong Palace. When His Majesty was still in the dormitory, he defeated Wang Shichong in front of the Hongnong Palace and almost burned Wang Shichong to death with a fire." The small official accompanying the army said quickly.
"It turns out that this is Hongnong Palace." Qin Huaiyu nodded and said: "Your Majesty was so heroic and heroic back then, which is really enviable! It's a pity that Huaiyu couldn't have been born decades earlier, otherwise, he could have followed him long ago
Your Majesty will conquer the world after his death." There was great regret in his words.
Even Gao Shang on one side nodded repeatedly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, opened his mouth, and finally asked: "The prince doesn't know much about His Majesty's deeds. It's getting late today, why not find a place?"
, take a good rest for a while, and I’d like to trouble you two adults to tell me about His Majesty’s heroic deeds. Is that okay?”
"Haha, it's so good. It's rare for someone to be so interested. Although His Majesty asked us to go to Luoyang for an audience, I'm afraid His Majesty hasn't arrived in Luoyang yet. It's okay for me to stay here for one night." Qin Huaiyu laughed.
He said. He immediately ordered a soldier to find an inn so that the army could camp.
The property in the inn had long been bought with money by the Royal Forest Army soldiers. Even the overnight guests were all given away with gifts and a large amount of money. After all, this matter related to the safety of the nobles. Everyone couldn't help but
Don't be careful. Although the passengers were not happy, when they saw the money, they all left happily. When Gao Shang saw this situation, he couldn't help but nodded. No wonder the emperor can do it.
Such a big undertaking is inseparable from his strict military discipline. Although many monarchs can say this and not bully the people, whether they can do it is another matter. But there is no doubt that Lu Zhaoci
Having accomplished this, his thoughts on joining Datang became even more intense.
"Clan Chief Gao, although I have never been to the Southwest, have I heard about the Southwest, but have I heard about it? I don't know if I should ask or not." In the living room, Qin Huaiyu and the other three chose a table and sat down, and laughed.
Hehe asked.
"Young General, if you have any questions, just ask." After drinking a glass of wine, Gao Shang showed a hint of excitement on his face and said with a smile: "Gao Shang knows everything and talks about it."
"I heard that the five parts of the southwest are mostly barbaric lands, with dense jungles, overgrown vegetation, and countless poisonous snakes and beasts. They are all barren mountains and rivers. I wonder if this is true?" Qin Huaiyu asked impatiently. There was a trace of light in his eyes.
With a searching look, even the accompanying officials had a trace of doubt on their faces. At this time, the Tang Dynasty was not familiar with the surrounding ethnic groups, especially the many ethnic groups in the southwest. Basically everything Qin Huaiyu said
, is the Tang Dynasty’s understanding of Southwest.
"Haha, that's not actually the case. What the general said was just the situation in the southwest. In fact, the southwest is pretty good. Of course, it cannot be compared with the imperial court in terms of prosperity, but in terms of scenery, it is comparable to many places in the imperial court!"
Gao Shang said with a smile: "If one day the general goes to the southwest, Gao Shang will definitely take the general to visit various places to see how the scenery in the southwest is like?" Gao Shang thought for a while, and Fang said with a smile. But there was no 1u in his words.
He didn't show any strange expression, as if he didn't hear clearly the meaning of exploration in Qin Huaiyu's words. Qin Huaiyu nodded.
"Is it true that the southwest and other places have high mountains and deep forests, with countless venomous snakes and beasts?" The little official next to him had a strange look in his eyes and asked unhurriedly.
"Absolutely." Gao Shang nodded. A smile appeared in his eyes and he said: "General, I don't know when will you lead the army to the Heman tribe?" Gao Shang's face was full of smiles at this moment, making Qin Huaiyu look handsome after hearing this.
Turning red with embarrassment, he obviously did not expect that although the Gao Shang in front of him was born in the Barbarian tribe, he was not a barbarian, but a very smart person. He could see the question he wanted to ask at a glance, but he still waited.
It took me so long to ask back.
"Haha!" Gao Shang couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. He reached out and patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "General, there is no need to be like this. Gao Shang just said it casually. The young general is a hero among men.
, If you come to Heman tribe in the future, Gao Shang will definitely welcome you." There was even sincerity in his words, but even Qin Huaiyu himself could hear it. In fact, Gao Shang did not reveal any other information at all in his words.
Come, it seems like a turtle shell, unable to attack the opponent's vital points. Qin Huaiyu shook his head secretly in his heart. Although he was Yun Wen and Yun Wu, in fact, his writing was much worse. Even the words in front of him were far behind.
Even the leader of the barbarian tribe could not compare with him. He went around and around and almost got himself involved. Little did he know that although this Gao Shang was with the barbarians and far away from the Central Plains, he might be able to become the leader of the tribe. How could he be a simple figure?
What's more, Qin Huaiyu is young and has little experience. How can he be a match for these guys...
"General, there is an enemy attack." At this moment, a shrill voice suddenly sounded in the night sky. After Qin Huaiyu heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and then he saw a soldier coming in and saying loudly.
"Why are you panicking?" Qin Huaiyu snorted coldly: "The other party is very courageous. He actually came to attack us at this time. It's a pity that he forgot where he was. This is the Tang Dynasty, and
It's not him." Qin Huaiyu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he was obviously very angry. This was the first time he had the opportunity to meet the emperor alone. Although escorting Gao Shang was just a matter of convenience, Qin Huaiyu would
This mission was very important, and naturally there was no room for any mistakes. When I saw that the other party really wanted money to assassinate me as Cen Wenwen said, you can imagine how you felt in your heart.
"Is there really someone here to assassinate me?" Gao Shang's heart changed, and his face turned ugly. He glanced at Qin Huaiyu involuntarily, but saw that the other person's eyes were full of anger, and he suddenly understood.
, nodded, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Major General. Your Majesty has such loyal and brave soldiers, how can you let them easily break through the defense? What's more, Gao Shang has more than a dozen men around him, and he also obeys the Major General.
Dispatch."
"Patriarch Gao doesn't have to be like this. This is the Tang Dynasty. You are the guest of the Tang Dynasty. How could the Tang Dynasty let its guests get hurt? With these few fools, they actually dare to cause trouble in the Central Plains. They are simply looking for death." Qin
Huaiyu refused Gao Shang's proposal without even thinking about it. If Gao Shang's accompanying guards were to take action, he, Qin Huaiyu, would probably not be able to afford to lose this person. Once word spread, some people would say that the Tang Dynasty did not even have its own distinguished guests.
Without protection, who would come to Datang?
"Sure enough, they are from Tubo." On the window sill, Qin Huaiyu glanced at the courtyard in front of the restaurant, but saw dozens of people fighting in the courtyard at this moment, and there were more than a dozen Royal Forest Army officers around who were on cautious alert.
Here. Among the dozens of people fighting in the middle, one side is a soldier of the Royal Forest Army wearing armor, and the other side is a killer wearing a black coat. However, these killers are different from other killers.
They are all golden knives that are dozens of feet long. The golden knives are shining with light, shining in the eyes of the opponent. They are very difficult to deal with. If these soldiers of the Royal Forest Army were not brave men, they would have been killed by the opponent long ago.
But even so, in just a short moment, many people were injured, and one person was cut into several pieces with his armor. It was so brutal that the accompanying officials turned pale.
"Sure enough, he is from Tubo." Gao Shang, with a pale face, pointed at the man in black on the field and said: "This is a killer from the Holy Mountain of Tubo. He is a master of martial arts and is dressed as a Tutu. I had the honor to see him once.
I didn't expect that he would appear here this time. It seems that this Lu Dongzan really wants to kill me." A look of horror appeared on Gao Shang's face. Lu Dongzan has been in contact with them for a long time, and he has occasionally been in contact with them about the Tubo Holy Mountain.
Mentioning, of course, these monks with strong martial arts skills was also a way for Lu Dongzan to show off his military power. Unexpectedly, the person he killed this time was actually himself.
"If I can attack Tubo in the future, I will definitely visit the Holy Mountain of Tubo. I want to see what kind of people are on his holy mountain. How dare they go deep into the Central Plains and kill the Imperial Guardsmen." Qin Huaiyu's eyes were filled with tears.
It was a murderous intention. If it used to be to protect Gao Shang and complete the character perfectly, but it is no longer the case now. The officers and soldiers of the Royal Forest Army are all meritorious ministers. Who has not made great contributions on the battlefield, and then has the opportunity to enter the palace?
The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who were responsible for guarding the emperor usually did not die on the battlefield, but now they died in the enemy's assassination. This made Qin Huaiyu suffer.
"General, it's better to be careful." Gao Shang frowned, and with a wave of his hand, he asked a dozen of his guards to join him. I saw that the dozen guards were all tall and powerful, holding in their hands
Holding a long knife like a cicada's wing, he joined them and saw a flash of cold light. He also cooperated with the Tang Dynasty warriors to deal with these Tubo assassins. Among these people, some of them took out a small bamboo tube from their arms,
Aiming at a Tubo assassin, he blew casually, and to the surprise of Qin Huaiyu and others, a cold light penetrated the back of his neck. The assassin immediately fell to the ground, obviously unable to survive.
"What kind of weapon is this?" Qin Huaiyu's face suddenly changed when he saw this, and he said in surprise.
"This is a blowgun." Gao Shang said with a proud look on his face: "In our southwest, almost everyone can do this. They use small arrows in bamboo tubes, and the tips of the arrows are coated with poison.
Yao, as long as a person is hit by a blow dart, he will definitely die. Generally, these people hide in the woods, use the leaves as cover, and attack the enemy. They can inflict great damage to the opponent. In my case
There are many such masters of blowing arrows in the Heman tribe, which is why the other four tribes dare not attack me and the Man tribe easily." Gao Shang introduced directly.
"It is indeed very powerful." Qin Huaiyu nodded and said. Although this kind of blowing arrow thing looks very scary, you have to look at where it is. If there is a large-scale battle between the two sides on the plain, this kind of
Naturally, blowing arrows cannot make it to the elegant hall, but if there is such an elite unit in the mountains and forests, if it continuously attacks the army, it will not only cause heavy damage, but more importantly, it will also have a huge blow to the morale of the army.
There are many mountains and forests in the southwest. Once the two sides start a war, this situation will definitely happen. So Qin Huaiyu felt a little worried in his heart.
"Ha! Xiao Xin." At this moment, a strong wind suddenly came over the top of his head. Qin Huaiyu's expression suddenly changed drastically. He took out the two maces in his hands and went up to meet them. He heard a loud noise,
The jingle of gold and iron sounded, and a black figure fell from the sky, but a tall and strong monk appeared. He was holding a sword in his hand, looking at Qin Huaiyu upstairs,
The eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Kill!" Upon seeing this, the two Royal Forest Army officers around them looked at each other with ferocious faces. They raised the long swords in their hands and slashed at each other. The long swords rolled up and flashed with a cold look. The momentum was like
Rainbow makes people dare not resist.
"Haha!" I heard only two jingling sounds of gold and iron, and saw the heads of two Royal Forest Army soldiers flying into the air, but they were killed by each other in one round. It was really powerful.
Chapter completed!
