Turbulent Times Chapter 75: Death
Wang Junlin is well aware that this era belongs to troubled times, and the Western Regions are even more hunting grounds in troubled times. Here, those who are merciful and merciful will die miserably, so he has no regrets or hesitation about the human tragedy that happened in Murong's husband-killing-wife.
You should know that even though the various forces in Shazhou City have no direct relationship with him now, let alone have any hatred against him. But as long as he is a Han Chinese and a border general at the forefront of the Sui Dynasty in the direction of the Western Regions, he has sufficient reasons to do these things, because he knows that letting King Bailan occupy Shazhou City means that in the near future, The people of Zhangye, Xiping and Wuwei and the Sui army will die at the hands of the Tuyuhun people.
Of course, there is another reason for Wang Junlin to do all this, and that is that it is a great achievement. Before he did it, he had someone report the situation in Shazhou to Yu Juluo. Occupied by the Tuyuhun people, he believed that Yujuluo would reward him with credit to the imperial court.
After the matter was finished, Wang Junlin prepared to leave Shazhou City as soon as possible. He had left Gaotai City for too long and disappeared for too long. He wanted to appear in Gaotai City as soon as possible to control his army and bear what he deserved. reward.
Su Jingxiang cooked a table of dishes for Wang Junlin herself, and roasted a lamb with Xiao Yuer. She knew that Wang Junlin was leaving, and she did it for him.
It's just that the taste of Su Jingxiang's dishes is very ordinary, and the mutton is not delicious. There is no other taste except salt, but the atmosphere is very warm. Su Jingxiang sang songs and wrote a poem at the banquet, In the end, she played, and Xiao Yuer danced a dance to add to the fun. With the efforts of Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yuer, Wang Junlin drank a lot of wine, and finally got drunk. It was Su Jingxiang and Xiao Yuer who helped him to the He took off his clothes in the house, and even Su Jingxiang used her pure and beautiful body to sleep with him. Drunken eyes, Wang Junlin ate the meat to his mouth heartily. Time and time again, the little fish next door listened. One night, her heart was already in turmoil, but she could only endure it silently. Perhaps compared to Su Jingxiang, she was the girl who really felt love at first sight for Wang Junlin. This unforgettable spring night is not over until both of them are exhausted.
Wang Junlin was a mercenary in later generations. If a beautiful woman threw himself into his arms, he would never refuse, but if this woman wanted to marry him and become his wife after throwing herself into his arms, He is very cautious.
He knew that Su Jingxiang was a girl with scheming plans. Although these scheming schemes seemed childish in his eyes, they were actually pretty good. He didn't believe that this girl really fell in love with him in a few days, or that if he wasn't a famous poisonous general, Su Jingxiang would really give her body to him?
If Su Jingxiang is willing to abandon everything in Shazhou City and follow him, he may not refuse. Unfortunately, this girl also has her own ambitions. Up to now, Wang Junlin doesn't know why Zhongshan Wolf and the bandits listen to her. Her calling.
Wang Junlin is working hard to make himself a heroic figure, and his thinking is dominated by reason. For this reason, he needs to hone his heart to be extremely hard. This kind of hard work did not stop until he left Shazhou City. At that time, when Su Jingxiang looked at him affectionately with red eyes, a crack suddenly appeared. Maybe something is different from what he thought.
Su Jingxiang wanted to abandon her parents several times, and left with Wang Junlin. But in the end she did not do so, because although her father wanted to marry a Tuyuhun man, she still loved her parents, and her father needed her help the most at this time. Although Su Jingxiang has seven brothers, they are all mediocre and difficult to take on great positions. On the contrary, Su Jingxiang is decisive and not weak in mind. Since three years ago, Su Jingxiang has heard her father sigh more than once: If she is a man How good it should be.
With red eyes, Su Jingxiang stuffed the sachet she had sewn with her own hands to Wang Junlin, and then turned around and rode away with Xiao Yuer.
Wang Junlin rode a **** horse and led the female gazelle out of the city. Five hundred miles away from the city, he met five hundred Sui troops waiting here. Now his war horse naturally has a saddle, and next to the saddle, Xiao Yuer sewed a bag out of cowhide, and the little lynx crawled inside the cowhide bag, only showing half of his head, curiously feeling the treatment. The feeling of moving inside the bag.
"Meet the general." Captain Zhou Hu led the five hundred Sui troops. When Wang Junlin was ten steps away from them, he led the five hundred equally excited cavalrymen off their horses and kneeled down to Wang Junlin. Kneel down.
"Get on the horse!" Wang Junlin smiled slightly, glanced at the crowd, threw the rope of the female gazelle to a soldier, and shouted softly.
"Here!" After a thousand people shouted in unison, they got up and mounted their horses.
"Go!"
Wang Junlin stroked the little lynx that was looking out with its head stretched out, and with a loud shout, he rode his horse and headed towards Gaotai City first. Shazhou City is still 800 miles away from Gaotai City, and there are no towns during this period.
Walking east for more than 50 miles, a camel caravan suddenly appeared at the end of the horizon. Wang Junlin and his cavalry took it for granted. The scale is slightly larger, with more than 300 camels.
But just when the two sides met, a man came out of the camel caravan, put his hand on his chest and saluted and said loudly: "General, we are merchants from far away Persia. Our camel caravan is composed of thirteen caravans." Composition, we were going to Gaotai City, Zhangye County, Sui Dynasty, but a group of powerful horse thieves appeared in front of us, they blocked the way, and we were forced to turn around, but now we see the general, we want to go with the general. Of course, to thank the distinguished General help, please allow us to offer you our gift together, I hope the distinguished general can agree with us to go together."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him held out a beautiful box, which was filled with agates, precious stones and exquisite gold and silver utensils.
Wang Junlin took a careful look at this person, and then at the camel team, but found nothing wrong. He turned around and glanced at Zhou Hu, who quickly said, "General, when we came, there was nothing wrong. I met some horse thieves, but horse thieves come and go like the wind, so it's normal to see us come and hide."
This box of treasures is very valuable. Even though Wang Junlin is a rich man at this time, he couldn't help but feel a little tempted. He nodded and agreed without too much hesitation. Zhou Hu called a soldier to put the box away, and then Wang Junlin went forward on his own. The five hundred cavalry marched in two rows. Behind is the caravan that has turned around.
Half a day later, towards evening, the Sui army and the camel team finally arrived at the foot of Qilian Mountain. From here to Gaotai City, most of the road was in valleys. The horse thief mentioned by the camel team was hiding on this section of the road. To be on the safe side, Wang Junlin sent out a fire scout, and then ordered to look for a camp nearby.
Taking advantage of this time, the leaders of the thirteen caravans in the camel caravan led a camel, and each brought a follower to the front with various gifts to present to Wang Junlin.
Wang Junlin even saw two Persian beauties following one of the caravan leaders, obviously this was a gift for him.
Some people gave gifts enthusiastically, even Wang Junlin couldn't say anything, the Sui soldiers around him moved out of the way, and let these people come forward to meet Wang Junlin one by one and present their gifts.
It's just that at this moment, the sound of hooves suddenly sounded like thunder, echoing in the valley.
A Sui army scout sent out by Wang Junlin came galloping on horseback, hissing loudly: "General, there are horse thieves in ambush, three thousand in number."
Everyone's expression changed. In fact, he didn't need to shout anymore, because everyone could see that behind the scout, a group of cavalry locusts swarmed five or six hundred paces away. Out of breath, his body softened immediately, and he fell on the horse's back. More than ten sharp arrows had been shot at his back.
The Sui army in a circular formation in front made way for the horse to come in. Before the scout dismounted, several Sui soldiers rushed up to catch him.
"It's dead!"
A fire chief only saw the injury on his back, and said sadly.
"The caravan is back and ready to fight!" Wang Junlin sat on the horse, took off his hard bow, and put on a spiked arrow that could penetrate three layers of heavy armor, his big eyes shot coldly : "When you are five hundred steps away, follow me to charge."
Behind them was a caravan of 300 camels, which blocked the back road of the valley. It would be difficult to escape for a while, and there was no other way but to bravely meet them. . At this time, Wang Junlin had no time to think about when a team of horse bandits with 3,000 cavalry appeared in the Qilian Mountains.
However, at this moment, the thirteen caravan leaders each leading a camel suddenly moved like madmen, and separated Wang Junlin from the five hundred cavalry behind him. Xia Wang Junlin faced the three thousand horse thieves alone. At the same time, behind the five hundred cavalrymen, more than one hundred caravan guards and more than three hundred merchants suddenly drew their knives from the camels, and killed the five hundred cavalrymen indifferently.
The faces of Wang Junlin, Zhou Hu and others all changed drastically. Wang Junlin turned around suddenly and looked at the thirteen caravan leaders and one of their followers who were already riding on the camels, with murderous intent on his face: "Kill them all!" .”
Wang Junlin's heart has sunk to the bottom, he knows that he has been tricked by someone else, but so far, he doesn't know who the other party is. He had to kill the twenty-six men and thirteen camels who stood between him and the five hundred cavalry before the horse thieves rushed in, join the five hundred cavalry, and then kill the more than three hundred Persians, The big food hurts people and their guards, only in this way can there be a chance of survival.
However, the time was clearly too late. Even if these Persians did not resist, they just stood in the way and let them kill them. It was difficult for them to kill these people before the three thousand horse thieves rushed over.
PS: Sorry for being late today.
