Yiwu City, located in the center of Yizhou, is an area where the later Hami City is located.
In fact, Yiwu City is a newly built city. In the fourth year of the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty at that time sent Pei Ju and Xue Shixiong to lead the army to fight, and finally stationed in Yiwu City at that time.
At that time, Yiwu City was an ancient city, quite dilapidated, and the city was not big. After Pei Ju arrived, he mobilized local forces and built another new city in the area east of the original Yiwu City, which became the New Yiwu City.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Great Sui¡¯s control over the border counties decreased, and Yiwu City could no longer be controlled remotely, so this area was also controlled by the Western Turks. Yiwu City also merged from the former new city and the old city to become a large city. .
Formed today's Yiwu City.
In Yiwu City, Luo Yansheng is the lord of the city.
The Luo family is the largest family.
However, Luo Yansheng, the city lord, is only a co-lord, not like the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and cannot achieve centralization. Under Luo Yansheng's command, there are many officials who are the heads of many big families in Yiwu City.
Together with the Luo family, these families formed the strength of Yiwu City. However, Luo Yansheng is old, has experienced a lot of things, has rich experience, and handles things very well. He has won the trust of the other major families, and everyone gets along quite harmoniously.
At this moment, in the city lord's mansion.
In the hall.
The decoration of the hall is quite different from that of the Central Plains. It is a typical Western Region style, and the hall is extremely spacious.
Luo Yansheng is in his early fifties, his hair is already gray, but he is in good spirits. He was dressed in a fine attire, very dignified. However, Luo Yansheng's face covered with wind and frost, with a soft smile, gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
Because of Luo Yansheng, the strength of the entire Yiwu City can be gathered together.
If it were other people, it would not work.
This is Luo Yansheng's charm.
And on the left and right sides of the hall, there were still four people sitting.
These four people are Tamur, Wuna Shili, Yuan Yin and Yi Fusheng. Tamer was from Gaochang, Wunashili was from Huihe, Yuan Yin and Yi Fusheng were from Han.
Luo Yansheng looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the latest news is that on the side of Datang, there is a large army controlling Suzhou, Guazhou and Shazhou. The most important thing is that on the western border of Guazhou, there are troops from Datang Pingxi King Du Qi led his army to station. His intention is most likely to invade our city of Yiwu. What do you guys think about this matter?"
Tamerlane snorted, and said: "City Master, even if Datang sent troops, so what? We are not afraid of Datang's army. After all, our troops are truly elite, enough for a battle. And according to the legend According to the news, King Pingxi of the Tang Dynasty actually has a total of more than 3,000 troops."
Among the crowd, Tamerlane is the main combat faction.
It is hoped to fight.
Luo Yansheng nodded, and said: "Tamer's words certainly have some truth, but what do you guys think? Now when it comes to the safety of Yiwu City, everyone speaks freely and makes things clear."
Wu Na Shili said: "I obey the arrangement of the city lord."
Among the crowd, Wuna Shili is Luo Yansheng's direct descendant, and also the one who supports Luo Yansheng the most.
So he stated directly.
Wu Nashili is a Huihe, and he is the leader of the tribe. Now the Huihe tribe he is in charge of is gathered in the west of Yiwu City. Although the tribe's number is not large, there are still more than 3,000 people.
Yi Fusheng said: "City Master, I think this battle may not be easy. Moreover, this battle will be quite dangerous. Even if Du Qi's number is small, he is not easy!"
Tamerlane said: "What's not simple?"
Yi Fusheng said: "Tamer, do you know how the Turks were destroyed?"
Tamerlane snorted, and said: "How else can it be destroyed, isn't it that it was destroyed by the Tang army. This matter is well known, and everyone knows this matter. It is precisely because of this matter that In our Western Regions, many places are in awe of the Tang Dynasty. Because even the mighty Turks will perish if they say they perish."
Yi Fusheng nodded, and said calmly, "It's good that you know that the Turks were destroyed, but the more detailed matter is that the Turks were destroyed. There are mainly two stages."
"The first stage is the Battle of Yanmen Pass."
"This was many years ago."
"At that time, the Tang army with a small number of troops wiped out nearly 100,000 Turkic people, making the Turks slumped. The strength of Jieli Khan was also greatly weakened."
"The second stage is the battle to destroy the Turks."
"That battle was alsoSame. "
"The troops who really fought against Jieli Khan were actually not many. In the end, the Turks were destroyed. Jieli Khan and others surrendered, and the Eastern Turks were completely gone."
Yi Fusheng talked eloquently, with a hint of awe in his eyes.
Tamer said: "What does this matter have to do with Du Qi we mentioned?"
Yi Fusheng said: "Of course it has something to do with it. Whether it was the battle of Yanmen Pass or the second battle to destroy the Turks, it was all planned by Du Qi. Du Qi is the real planner. Don't look at Du Qi's strength is only three Thousands, but Du Qi is extremely powerful."
"You all know Du Qi's age, and he is only about twenty now."
"The youngest here, Yuan Yin, is also in his early thirties. They all know that young people in their twenties, even a few years ago, a young man in his teens, can plan to destroy the Turks, which shows the horror of it."
"Such a person is invincible."
Yi Fusheng's eyes were solemn, and he continued: "Tamur, Du Qi is the first king with a different surname in the Tang Dynasty, and he was conferred the title of Pingxi King by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which shows that he is powerful. Can we resist such a person? ?¡±
Yuan Yin nodded and said: "What Brother Yi said is true. It is not a secret to inquire about this matter a little bit, and you can inquire about it at will."
When Tamerlane heard the words, he sighed.
He didn't pay much attention to Du Qi at first, but now he heard Yi Fusheng's words, and he was quite frightened.
The situation is not good!
Tamerlane said: "City Lord, tell me what we should do. We can't, let's just capture him without a fight. If this is the case, it's too embarrassing."
The rest of the people also looked at Luo Yansheng.
They were all waiting for Luo Yansheng to speak.
Luo Yansheng said seriously: "Everyone, the situation is not good for us. But right now, I think that Du Qi has not attacked for the time being, so let's wait and see what happens, and don't rush to judge."
"Yep!"
Yi Fusheng and others also spoke in unison.
Everyone agrees.
Although everyone is worried in their hearts, they actually have to observe for a while before talking.
After all, Tang Jun hasn't come yet.
Can't mess up on our own.
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier entered, bowed and saluted: "I would like to inform the city lord that there is a person from outside the mansion. He claims to be Liu Zhengxi, the envoy of King Pingxi. He is here to pay his respects." (Remember this site website: www.hlnovel.com
