Chapter 114: The Banner of the Black Wolf
When Du Shiyi brought Pugu Huai'en and a thousand fangs to the far away from Tongluoya City, looking at the city that was a big circle smaller than Anbeiya City, but also the walls were high and the defense was tightly guarded, Pugu Huai'en couldn't help frowning. He was thinking about how to capture the place if it was him, but he was still puzzled by the time he had already arrived. He sent a messenger as Du Shiyi said, but now he had arrived, and the four gates of Tongluoya City were closed and he was hostile.
Just when he was a little impatient, he came to Du Shiyi and was about to speak, and suddenly he heard a horn sound in the city. Then, the gate facing them slowly opened.
"They actually used the black wolf flag"
In the past two battles against the Khitan and the Xi people, Luo Ying and Yue Wuniang used the black flag as the banner, but this uprising was completely different from before. The black wolf flag floating in the air suddenly showed a murderous intent. Even the toothed soldiers to whom Du Shiyi did not stay in Anbeiya tent for many years, but often released them to fight. Facing the black-shirted soldiers who were catching the flag, they still changed slightly. Only Pu Gu Huai'en led his horse to stand beside Du Shiyi with expressionless face, and snorted dissatisfiedly: "They are demonstrating."
Since he learned that Luo Xibing was coming to the Anbei Protectorate, Du Shiyi sent Huya and a group of the most reliable fang soldiers to Chang'an quietly, and the rest were handed over to Longquan. But when he arrived at the Anbei Ya Tent, Longquan, who had gone to the same fangs, had not returned yet, so he also came here this time, so naturally many civil and military officials opposed it. Most people felt that they had detained Longquan, which was clearly unpredictable. In addition to Pu Gu Huaien personally commanding the Thousand-Tent soldiers, Argen also insisted on taking five thousand soldiers and horses ten miles away, and would come to help at any time just by looking at the signal.
At this moment, when he heard Pugu Huaien say this, Du Shiyi smiled and said, "It is very common for the two armies to confront each other and show off their strength. Since even the Black Wolf Banner has been launched, the main owner should appear."
Sure enough, the black torrent was only a hundred steps away from them, Pugu Huai'en had even instructed the ups and downs to prepare for the battle, but the troops in front of him suddenly dispersed left and right in a whistling sound. However, they did not go forward to surround them, but went around the city. Only a group of about a hundred people in the middle went straight forward. At this time, Du Shiyi winked at Pugu Huai'en, and the two of them came forward with the same number of people. When they finally met each other, he saw that there was Hou Xiyi beside Luo Ying, except for Longquan and Gongsun, who had no previous news.
"Master Du came from afar, and I was late to welcome him, and I was disrespectful." Luo Ying raised her head after stroking her chest with impeccable Tielle etiquette, and then she raised her head, her eyes as bright as the morning star. "Before, Anbeiya Treasure City had sent an envoy to come. Because Fanyang Jiedu Office also sent an envoy, I had to keep him for a few more days. If this matter made Master Du and the people in Anbeiya Treasure City feel unhappy, I would like to express my sincere apology. Moreover, my sudden advance this time was not a rebellion, but another reason. I have always been the most loyal servant of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
This was the first time Pugu Huaien had dealt with this master of the stakes. Seeing that he seemed a few years older than him, he was born with a burly man, and was full of power. However, his words were orderly and very humble, his anger suddenly became smaller. But even though Du Shiyi had hinted to him, he couldn't help but sarcastically: "I have already taken Tongluo and Pugu into my pocket, isn't it still a rebellion?"
It was also the first time that Luo Ying actually met Pugu Huaien. He had been famous for this brave general who followed Du Shiyi from Shuofang to Anbeiya Tent. Today, he was the first time he saw him. Some of the factors that were a warrior could not help but feel excited. But at this moment, he felt that the warning from Aunt Gongsun came from his ears, and he could only cough unnaturally.
"It's a long story. Let's do this. General Du and General Pugu are willing to lead troops into the city. Take a closer look at the current situation of Luo Junmin and then listen to me to tell me in detail?"
Pugu Huaien originally planned to refuse Du Shiyi, but then he thought that he was very familiar with many of the generals of Tongluo Abus's troops. As long as they were all taken down, they did not kill all the people of Tongluo. If he had evil intentions, he would raise his arms and shout, and the city was in chaos, and the outcome might not be known. Therefore, seeing Du Shiyi nodding slightly and agreeing, he stopped admonishing, glaring at the other party and rushed back to reorganize the army. As soon as he left, Luo Ying smiled and said, "The general can really pick the seeds of famous generals everywhere."
"But, in the past, I had to let go of a group of people. Fortunately, I spent a long time in Shuofang and Anbei Protectorate, and there were many wars. Otherwise, I would have been using the strategy of not transferring troops to dim all my people." The soldiers around me were all confidants trained by Huya, so Du Shiyi naturally didn't worry that such intimate answers would spread. While saying that, he nodded to Longquan, then smiled at Hou Xiyi, and asked with interest, "Xiyi also appeared here suddenly, but Fatty An gave you a chore?"
"Yes, who made me so rich, and I had a system of my own early on. Even Fatty An, who had always been generous with his subordinates? If I had not been good friends with the Wu brothers and got along well with the whole army, I would have been a large number of Xi people and Khitan prisoners who sent troops from Pinglu every time I sent troops back, and they could be trained into the army. I'm afraid that they would not be here anymore." Hou Xiyi shrugged helplessly, and then said meaningfully, "However, Fatty An, has a good tolerance. The real ruthless method is his brother Shi Siming. The general must be careful. This person's weight in the Youyan army is no less than Fat An."
Du Shiyi knew that Shi Siming had always been known for his cruelty, so he nodded immediately, but thought in his heart that even though he had stolen the dark son in the Youyan army early, even Guo Quan, who was the most honest in the past, ended up staying in Hebei Road. But if the war really started, he would never underestimate An Lushan's ability to control his soldiers and generals.
While speaking, Pugu Huai'en had already rectified the army and came to meet. Luo Ying personally guided the way and led the group into Tongluoya Tent City. As soon as he entered the city, Pugu Huai'en put all his energy on the people in the city. He saw that except for the crisscrossing streets, there were no soldiers and civilians in Tongluo. Although he could not smell any blood, every lifang seemed a little too quiet, so quiet that he even felt a little palpitation.
As if seeing his doubts, Luo Ying explained with a smile: "Because the messenger told General Du that he had come today, I have sent the order to not make noise from top to bottom. Of course, if the general and General Pugu want to see Abus, I will make good arrangements."
This mysterious guy
Pugu Huaien was angry, and it was obvious that Du Shiyi's expression was as usual, so he could only press his anger into his stomach. He waited until he entered the Governor's Office where Abus lived on weekdays in the center of the city and stepped into the conference hall with the style of Anbei Protectorate Town, which was decorated with the style of Anbei Protectorate Town, and he finally couldn't help asking: "We have already arrived here, can't Huaiyi Khan open the skylight and speak loudly?"
The implication is very simple, don't forget the title given to you by the Tang Dynasty
Luo Ying seemed to have not heard the thorn in Pugu Huai'en's words at all, but happily took a step and said with a smile: "Of course you can General Pugu, let me introduce you to you. This is the left-wing military envoy of the Pinglu Jiedu from the Fanyang Jiedu Mansion, General Hou Xiyi."
Pugu Huaien didn't expect that the middle-aged man who had been following Luo Ying, who looked like a general under his command, was the messenger of An Lushan, the governor of Fan Yang. He was shocked and thought that his sarcasm might have fallen into the eyes of the other party just now, and he felt even more aggrieved. So, seeing the other party bowing to him with a smile, he could only give him a reply. However, when Hou Xiyi spoke the first sentence, he felt that all his anger suddenly rose.
"This time, I am here to come here to ask for the meeting of Huaiyi Khan, in order to ask Huaiyi Khan and Huaiyi Khan to join forces and take Hedong first."
"What?" Pu Gu Huai'en shouted sternly, "All An Lushan can have today is His Majesty's promotion and favor. He dared to have such a disobedient heart."
"I heard that Marshal Du even killed Qin's envoy Luo Xibing. Isn't it more bold than Marshal An?"
After Hou Xiyi retorted like this, Pugu Huai'en could no longer suppress his emotions, and pressed the hilt of the knife and wanted to take action. At this critical moment, he could only hear Du Shiyi cough heavily, and then realize that he had been stimulated by the other party's repeated teasings and lost the minimum judgment. After taking a deep breath, he quietly retreated to Du Shiyi's side, looking at his nose and his heart and not talking.
Seeing that Pugu Huai'en stopped the impulse because of Du Shiyi's cough, Hou Xiyi thought to himself that although Du Shiyi was in Yunzhou, he was too weak and young. Now more than 20 years have passed, and his power has increased by more than one or two times than that year. So he stopped joking with Pugu Huai'en and said seriously: "Master An is the only one in Youyan. Although I was shocked after hearing the news, my family was in the hands of Master An, so I had to come and take this trip. In fact, if it weren't for raising the court, it would probably be useless. I would have sent someone to Chang'an to report this matter first."
Seeing that Pu Gu Huai'en was skeptical, Du Shiyi sighed: "After that Xi had traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to sue the emperor, but he died inexplicably, but An Lushan was safe and sound. If he complained again, it would be in vain. Although I ordered someone to send a blood letter to Chang'an, I might not have any consequences. Xiyi, you and I worked together in Yunzhou back then. Although I haven't seen each other for many years, I believe you."
Pugu Huai'en was not very clear about the generals of Youyan. After hearing Du Shiyi say this, he realized that Hou Xiyi was Du Shiyi's former subordinate, so he believed it 70 or 80 points this time. Luo Ying also chose this time and said with a smile: "I suddenly advanced west this time because An Lushan instructed me to take Tongluo and Pugu while Luo Xibing was at Anbeiya. However, my army only discovered that the Lord of Tongluo, Abus, also had the idea of ill-treatment towards Anbeiya. When my troops were at the city, it was when he planned to take the troops and horses to fish in the troubled waters. As for Puguya's tent, although General Puguya said this, I can say something bad. Puguya may be quite brave on the battlefield, but he is not far from you, so naturally he is not his grandfather's opponent."
