Chapter 173 The Return of the Hero
The Stone Fort City was of great significance to the Tang Dynasty. The pass built by Emperor Yang of Sui was actually used to deal with the Tang Dynasty, which caused the Tang Dynasty to suffer a lot. There were tens of thousands of soldiers who died at the pass. This was a shame for the Tang army!
It was from Shibao City that the Tang army embarked on a journey to march into Tubo’s heart. They fought bloody battles and overcame all the difficulties and dangers. Although Tubo was not destroyed, it was almost the same, which was equivalent to being destroyed in name only. The final destruction of Tubo was just about time.
Therefore, Shibao City was the glorious beginning of the Tang army!
Geshuhan and the others were all passionate, their hearts were surging, and it was difficult to calm down!
"Look, Shibao City has arrived, Shibao City has arrived!" Wang Shaohua pointed at Shibao City and couldn't help but scream.
Wang Zhongsi's face looked a little ugly. He looked at Shibao City and murmured to himself, "Dad, you know that the spirit of heaven is in heaven: I will follow the army to fight and attack the Tubo capital, Lushe City, and destroy Tubo. Dad, you can rest in peace!"
In this battle, the Tang army wiped out the Tubo army. On average, each person killed three two people. Those who had been on the battlefield had won the battle, but only Wang Zhongsizhong only watched the show, and no one killed it. However, this was not his shame, but on the contrary, it was his glory!
Throughout history, there are many people who are as precocious as him, but is there a second person who participated in the battle like him as a boy in ancient and modern times? No!
The soldiers were all excited and wanted to arrive at Shibao City as soon as possible, so they couldn't help but speed up. Soon they arrived in front of Shibao City, and saw a team of Tang soldiers driving out of Shibao City, standing next to the road, shouting in unison: "Brothers are back! Thank you brothers for your hard work!"
When Chen Wanrong saw that the Tang army helmet was bright and armored, the ranks were neatly arranged. It was the Tang army who left behind to guard Shibao City.
"Brothers: We are back!" The Tang army who returned from the war couldn't help but be excited. They were both excited to set foot on the Tang realm again, and also had the gratitude for the rest of their life in the war, and the pride of returning triumphantly.
"The hero is back! The hero is back!" The Tang army guarding the pass was not only happy for the Tang army who returned from the war, but also felt a little regretful. He missed such a war that created history, and it was a pity from the bottom of his heart.
"Brothers: We are back!" Tang Jun rushed up and hugged the soldiers guarding the pass. You beat my shoulders, I patted your back, cheered and excited. Mo Ming.
Chen Wanrong was also excited. He slapped his horse, rushed over, flew down, hugged a soldier, and kept pounding the soldier's shoulders. The soldier was so happy that he beat Chen Wanrong for a while, and then he realized that he was hugging the military supervisor, which was even more amazing. He almost fainted from excitement.
The cheers of "The Return of the Hero" sounded in the stone castle city, reaching the sky.
When Jide Zuzan came, the jubilation reached its peak. "Tubo Zamp was captured alive for us! Zamp was taken back!" The tide of crying made the earth tremble, and it was difficult to stop after a long time.
The cheers closed were not over yet, and from a distance, they saw groups of ordinary people coming from Chiling. They ran and cheered: "Zanpu has taken back to Datang! Come and see!"
The Tang army was very informed at the gate, which alarmed the nearby people. The Tang army captured Jide Zuzan alive and spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. As long as there were Tang people, everyone knew about this. When the people of Longxi heard the movements on the Shibao City, could they come and see the excitement and see with their own eyes that Jide Zuzan's discouraged face?
"No! Hurry up, stop the people from coming up!" Chen Wanrong suddenly woke up and hurriedly sent troops to stop the people who were about to rush to Shibao City.
The mountain path in front of Shibao City is too narrow. If the people rushed up and squeezed me, it might cause death. We have to be careful of this. Ge Shuhan rushed down Shibao City without saying a word and led his army to stop the people.
Such a good thing, the people would not give up, and they kept shouting: "General, get out of the way! We must see Zanpu's face with our own eyes! Tubo has repeatedly invaded borders and plundered countless people. Our people in Longxi have long hated him to the core!"
Longxi borders Tubo and is the most severely harassed by Tubo. When the people of Longxi mentioned Tubo, they were all so angry that they felt their teeth itchy. As soon as the matter that Jide Zuzan was taken to him spread, they were all angry. Looking at Jide Zuzan's face was considered good, it was already very rational not to say that he was beaten to death.
The crowd became angry, and maybe something big might happen. When Ge Shuhan was about to make a mistake, he heard a loud voice in Shibao City, "Famous people, listen! The military supervisor has something to say!"
This is when Chen Wanrong saw that the situation was not good, he asked the soldiers to yell in order to calm the people down and avoid losing control.
Sure enough, the soldiers roared, and the excited people gradually calmed down and looked at Shibao City. Chen Wanrong came to the mountain path in front of Shibao City, and clasped his fists and said, "Dear elders: The Tang Dynasty captured Jide Zuzan alive, this is the victory of our Tang Dynasty! I can understand that Jide Zuzan was born as the people of the Tang Dynasty. However, if you hug it like this, the mountain path is too narrow and people will die."
This is the case, but the people are angry and don’t care about this. They shouted in unison: “Military Supervisor, we want to see Zamp’s face, please help me!”
Chen Wanrong pointed his hand to the distance and said, "I will do my best if you have this heart. You all retreat there, there is a flat land there. I ask someone to take Zamp there, so that you can see enough!"
There was a flat ground in the distance. Where to watch Jide Zuzan's discouraged face was much safer than in front of Shibao City. The people responded with a loud bang and thanked each other: "Thank you, the military supervisor!" He ran away with a hurried moment.
"My God! The military supervisor is still seeing the opportunity!" Fei Junxing looked at the running people and felt relieved.
Cheng Xiaotian smiled and said, "That's right! Otherwise, how can you be a military supervisor?"
"Brother Chen, don't you really want to praise Jide Zu to the people?" Wang Shaohua was a little disbelief.
Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "What else can I do if I say it out loud. If I don't show it, what else can I do? The people in Longxi hate the Tubo people the most. They have to send troops to protect them. Don't beat anyone to death."
This is what it should be. Fei Junxing asked for an order and said, "Military Supervisor, leave this matter to me! There will be no accident in the certificate!"
"Okay! General Fei, you go and deploy the army first, I will take Zanpu and then arrive!" Chen Wanrong agreed.
Fei Junxing responded and took his cavalry to the open space. Looking at the Tang army driving over, the people erupted passionately and shouted in unison: "It can be seen that Zanpu's despairing face!" He hurried up.
But the Tang army stopped him, and the people were puzzled. Fei Junxing rode his horse forward and said with a fist, "Dear elders: You hate the Tubo people and hate Zanpu, we can understand! I, Fei Junxing, have been fighting on the tip of the knife for a lifetime, and I know the thoughts of the elders. You love our Tang army and hate the Tubo people. However, Zanpu cannot die, he is still useful, and we have to take him to Chang'an!"
Before he finished speaking, he interrupted the people: "General Fei, we are not going to beat him to death, but to see his despairing face! The Tang Dynasty captured Zanpu alive, and this revenge was avenged! Although we are farmers, we also know that if Zanpu died now, it would be a bargaining him! It would be a pleasure to take him to Chang'an and be disposed of by the emperor!"
Fei Junxing couldn't help but feel relieved to be able to gain the understanding of the people and nodded, "There are so many people, if you rush forward, you will hurt people and trample on them! So, I ask you to line up and watch one by one. Remember, you are only allowed to watch, not to take action! Don't blame me for being rude!"
If one person takes action, it will definitely be the mutual assistance of everyone. If a mess of fist continues, Jide Zuzan will definitely die.
"General, please rest assured, we will do it!" The people responded with a loud bang and started queuing at the request of the Tang army.
The speed of the people's queues made the well-trained Tang army sigh, and it was enough in just a blink of an eye.
Chen Wanrong brought people to escort Jide Zuzan. When the people saw that Jide Zuzan had a noble temperament, they couldn't help but feel very strange.
"This is Princess Jincheng, please see it quickly!" Ge Shuhan shouted.
Princess Jincheng married into Tubo and passed by Longxi. Who doesn’t know about this? When she heard that it was Princess Jincheng, she knelt on the ground and saluted: “I’ve seen the princess!”
Yingying was blessed, Princess Jincheng couldn't help but cover her face and cry! To put it nicely, it was for the sake of the righteousness of the country, and to put it bluntly, it was because she had gone to an unexpected place and could not return to her hometown for the rest of her life. This was the supreme torture for a woman.
Now, Princess Jincheng has returned to the Tang realm, but her husband has lost his country and his family. As a result of the country's destruction, this is her shame, but as a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she has the joy of returning to her homeland. Two completely different feelings have surged into her heart, causing her torment, and she can't help but feel sad and crying.
What the people are looking at now is Jide Zuzan's face. Princess Yu Jincheng didn't think much about her feelings. Under the arrangement of the Tang army, she walked past Jide Zuzan one by one.
After agreeing, the people were not allowed to take action, and the people were in absolute manner. However, if they don’t take action, they can’t talk? The people pointed at Ji Dezuzan and cursed, spitting at him.
As long as he did not harm Jide Zuzan's life, Chen Wanrong would not care about it and let the people sip it. In just a short while, Jide Zuzan was drooling.
Jidezu praising Xiongyi is extraordinary and never admits defeat. He has never suffered such shame. His face turned pale and he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Zanpu, did you ever think of today when you were killing with your army?"
Jide Zuzan glared at Chen Wanrong fiercely. Chen Wanrong tugged the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Zanpu, don't be dissatisfied. It's the same war, but there are countless killings. If you talk about killing, are there fewer people we killed in this battle? You have never killed so many people in your life, right? But how are the Tubo people treating us? We greeted us and treated us as their relatives! You have seen this with your own eyes. Tell me, whenever you win a battle, have the Tubo people welcomed you like this?"
Tubo was a slave country. After winning the battle, Jide Zuzan returned to his country. The happiest thing was the slave master, because they had more slaves. As for slaves, life became even harder. Because the slave master became more proud, their power became greater.
Therefore, when Jide Zuzan returned successfully, only those slave masters who came here were very happy and truly supported him. The Tubo slaves were laughing on the surface, but they were scolding him in their hearts.
When this question was so painful, Jide Zuzan was speechless.
Chen Wanrong continued: "We came back from winning the battle. These people are the most ordinary. Look at the mud on their shoes and you will know that they are real mud legs. When you win the battle, will there be a mud legs like this to greet you?"
After winning the battle, Jide Zuzan returned, but his servants avoided him and were afraid that he would not meet him.
At that time, Jide Zuzan didn't care. Now that I think about it, this is very reasonable and I can't help but sigh.
Chen Wanrong finally said, "Where is the heart of the people? The heart of the people is these real mud legs! Only when they support you and say you are good will you be really good! If they say you are bad, just wait for bad luck! Emperor Taizong said it very well that water can carry a boat and can overturn it! Your defeat is not destroyed by our hands, but by yourself!"
Jide Zuzan was dissatisfied with one hundred and twenty, but he couldn't find a reason to refute, so he couldn't help but be stunned.
Just as Chen Wanrong scolded Jide Zuzang, all the people who came had seen it. Everyone was so excited that they shouted, and they were all shouting. Long live the mountain.
There are not many things in history about capturing the enemy's leaders alive. Even fewer things can be seen with your own eyes. The people are extremely excited and yelling very hard.
Chen Wanrong was about to ask the soldiers to take Ji Dezu Zan away, but the earth-shaking cry sounded: "Long live the Tang Dynasty! Come and see Zan Pu's face!"
The sound moved the world and came from all directions. When Chen Wanrong looked, he saw countless people coming out from east, west, south, and from all directions, running towards them.
Looking at this attitude, there were tens of thousands of people, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but become stupid.
"Military Supervisor, what should I do?" Fei Junxing was a little scared. He rolled on the battlefield all his life, and had never known what was scared. Seeing the crazy momentum of the people coming, he couldn't help but feel scared.
"Brother Chen, hurry up and take them away!" Wang Shaohua made a panic suggestion.
Needless to think about it, this is the news leak, and the people are coming to watch the fun. This must be part of the people coming. As the news spreads, more people will come. Stay behind and let the people watch it. I don’t know that no one will come until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month.
It is a good way to leave now, but can the people let you go?
"Even if I don't let me see enough, I won't give way!" Chen Wanrong knew how serious the consequences of this matter were: "I can't walk away, so let them see!"
"Strengthen the vigilance and no negligence!" Geshuhan gave the order decisively.
As soon as the order was passed, the Tang army was ready for battle. The people did not do anything out of line. Under the arrangement of the Tang army, they regarded Ji Dezu as a monkey who jumped into circles.
The people who had seen enough returned with satisfaction. The people in front left, and the people behind rushed back. It seemed like the desolate Chiling was like a market, with people coming and going, and it was very lively.
Until the sun sets, the people are still coming. There is no way, so they can light a torch. The people come and leave with torches. The whole night, Chiling is brightly lit. This is the most lively day in Chiling since Pangu opened the world.
The next day, when the sun rose, the people not only did not decrease, but also increased. This made Chen Wanrong very regretful. "If I had known this, I should have issued a closure order yesterday, and the soldiers were not allowed to cheer and make noise!"
What's the use of regret? The march now will definitely not work, and the people will not let them go unless they speak with a horizontal knife, but that is absolutely impossible!
There was no way, Chen Wanrong summoned everyone to discuss: "You all think about how to settle this matter!"
Fei Junxing started to scold: "Everyone blames those bastards, they are yelling at them! They have poked such a big leak."
"Aren't you yelling too?" Cheng Xiaotian revealed.
When I arrived in Shibao City yesterday, who was not worried? Fei Jun couldn't help but rub his hands: "It's nothing to show the people, but there are more and more people. When does this end?"
"Brother Geshu, what do you think?" Chen Wanrong asked Geshuhan for his opinion.
Geshuhan was extremely talented and had many plans, and was trusted by everyone. He looked at him involuntarily. What disappointed everyone was that Geshuhan spread his hands: "It's okay to ask me to go to the battlefield. But I can't do this. Little guy, do you have any ideas?"
If it were normal, Wang Zhongsi would definitely ask back: "Who are you asking?" Today, he kept shaking his head: "No!"
"We can't just waste here?" Cheng Xiaotian slapped his hands and screamed: "Military Supervisor, in the name of the military supervisor, you order local officials to restrain the people and prevent them from coming. Violators, military law is engaged!"
"It's feasible!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Chen Wanrong shook his head and said, "Who can stop this kind of thing? Only the horizontal knife in your General Cheng's hand can stop it. Do you use it?"
"How can I use a horizontal knife to deal with the people!" Cheng Xiaotian muttered.
Chen Wanrong stood up suddenly, slapped his forehead, and smiled and said, "I'm so stupid. Isn't there a ready-made way?"
"What's the solution?" everyone asked in unison.
Chen Wanrong said excitedly: "This method is both simple and practical. It not only satisfies the wishes of the people, but also does not miss our itinerary. I want to send someone to promote it along the way, and say that we are taking Zanpu back to Chang'an, and let the people come to watch on the way."
"A clever plan! A clever plan!" Geshuhan was the first to praise him.
He sent people to spread the word that Chen Wanrong and his friends took Jide Zuzan back to Chang'an and told them the route. Anyone who wanted to see Jide Zuzan could wait there. Doing so would satisfy the wishes of the people, and would not miss Chen Wanrong and their time. One more advantage is that it would save the people from running away and facilitate them.
This is a good thing that can win three goals in one go, who can disagree?
"We don't need to send someone to handle this matter. We just need the general to pass on orders to the officials along the way in the name of the military supervisor and ask them to handle it. This matter will be done." Wang Zhongsi made an idea.
"I didn't say anything, just do it!" Chen Wanrong slapped heavily on his thigh and immediately ordered the military soldiers to send letters to officials along the way, asking them to make arrangements.
As soon as the people were sent out, Chen Wanrong ordered the army to set off and head to Chang'an.
Chapter completed!
