Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Murong Shun left with 10 cavalry. In addition to bringing him [-] days of dry food and the strongholds of those horse thieves, Li Ke also gave him several places to replenish supplies and grass. Li Ke will station personnel in these places and later develop into Several small towns became the main supply points on the southern route of the Silk Road.

"Go, let people prepare. With their progress, five days is enough to wipe out these horse bandits, and they will be ready to act after five days." Looking at the back of Murong Shun leading the people away, Li Ke said calmly.

"It's Your Highness!" Huo Gang behind him immediately saluted, ready to make some arrangements.

The horse bandit strongholds in Tuyuhun are not large-scale horse bandits, and the largest wave may only have 400 to [-] people. With Murong Shun's strength, there will be almost no casualties in destroying these horse bandits.

In fact, Li Ke's guess was basically good. After Murong Shun led the team to leave, he studied the maps in his hands with several of his generals. Based on these maps, Murong Shun directly formulated the relevant cleaning plan.

After spending a whole day, Murong Shun asked his thousand cavalrymen, who had learned the sword-dragging technique, to give this technique to other people. They said it was a teaching, but in fact it was just a demonstration several times. After making sure that they all memorized it, it was over. .

As for the others, in their eyes, how to learn how to fight is a matter on the battlefield. What's the use of just teaching?

Play a few more games.

After the research, Murong Shun directly asked his generals to divide the [-] cavalry into five teams of [-] each, and then directly swept over the targets on the map. In just four days, Murong Shun directly sent Tuyuhun, oh No, to be precise, all the horse bandit strongholds in Xizhou were wiped out.

According to His Highness's rules, no, it has nothing to do with His Highness, it is Murong Shun's order!No one left but the baby!In fact, there are not many babies among these horse bandits. As for whether they have other family bases, no one knows, and even if they do, it doesn't matter. Do they dare to seek revenge from the Tang army?Not to mention the Tang army, if they knew their status as horse bandits, the surrounding tribes would dare to teach them how to behave.

These tribes were also deeply affected by it. Among the strongholds that Murong Shun wiped out, there were some women, and Murong Shun did not keep them. The identity of these women is unknown. Who knows what harm will happen after they stay?As for the murder, Murong Shun didn't have any psychological burden.

But what Murong Shun didn't know was that when he was cleaning up these horse bandit strongholds, Tuyuhun was near Longyou Road, Hanyangguan area, and a team of cavalry was setting up a place where the water plants were not bad.

This place was originally the location of a small tribe, but that small tribe was moved away by His Highness.

"Hurry up, replace their corpses with herdsmen's clothes. The clothes of the corpses of those women are torn and exposed a little."

"Here, the tent is chopped down with a knife! Leave some horseshoe marks."

"Boss, the bodies of two horse thieves have been dragged here for a long time, and their faces are all rotten."

"What nonsense are you talking about? There are no corpses of horse thieves here? They are all corpses of herdsmen belonging to Tang Xizhou! If they are dragged to pieces, then you continue to drag the corpses around the camp twice to create a fun scene of dragging people to death. "

"Yes, yes, that's it, sprinkle more of those sheep's blood!"

"Has the route of the large caravan composed of several caravans been determined?"

"It's confirmed. Our people have been following them from a distance. In half a day, they will definitely be able to arrive here, because this is the only oasis and water source nearby."

"Okay! After the arrangement is complete, plant the flag of the black bandit, and we will withdraw."

"Yes!"

A team of cavalry finally planted a flag with a black mountain on a white rag and a black letter written on it directly on the ground, then turned on their horses, and quickly left in one direction. They would choose a Gobi with hard ground Tan rode around here without leaving any horseshoe footprints.

And the scene after a small tribe was ransacked by the Black Bandits, the largest horse thief group in the Western Regions, appeared here.

It didn't take a long time, about four hours later, the four scouts on horseback from this large caravan arrived here, and they saw the flying black bandit flag from a long distance away, and seeing that flag, the four scouts His face instantly turned pale.

However, there were no cavalry around here, so they hesitated for a while, and rode quickly here. When they saw the extremely miserable scene of being slaughtered, everyone felt their scalps tingle, and they all said that the black bandits were cruel. It was also the first time they saw each other. The four scouts didn't dare to hesitate, and they rode back decisively to report to the caravan.

After they returned to the caravan, the scouts directly found several shopkeepers of the caravan, and reported what they saw to the shopkeepers.

"What should I do?" Several shopkeepers turned pale. The Black Mountain bandits are the largest group of horse thieves on the Silk Road. They have been aggressive in the Western Regions for decades. It is said that there are thousands of cavalry. No one dares to offend the Black Mountain bandits. Offend the Black Bandits. Everyone was silenced, even babies.

But as long as you don't mess with the black mountain bandits, don't offend them when the caravan encounters them, and give them whatever they want, and the other party usually doesn't do anything.

Moreover, these black mountain thieves are generally not too much, as long as they have a small amount of property, they will not lose it all. Obviously, they also know the truth that they can't fish in a dry marsh.

Therefore, black bandits have always been synonymous with cruelty and rules in the Western Regions, and almost all caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions know it.

But they didn't expect the black bandit to appear here.

"Didn't you hear what the garrison said about the place we went before? His Royal Highness the King of Qin has let you know that you must report to the garrison if you encounter any abnormalities in the territory of Xizhou! This is now the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" A 40 The cold voice of the old shopkeeper.

"But... if we report it, will we be retaliated against?" Another shopkeeper asked worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? The Black Mountain Bandit knows who reported it? Besides, you are afraid of the Black Mountain Bandit, not His Royal Highness King Qin, right?" A young shopkeeper added at this time.

"Uh...then let the scouts go to the army and report to His Highness King Qin." The shopkeeper decisively changed his words.

Everyone had no objection at the moment, and the two scouts patted their horses and rushed towards the direction they came from overnight.

However, what these caravans did not know was that at the same time they went to report, a news had already spread to the entire Western Regions through Yuelai Trading Company. A group of horse thieves were slaughtered!

As for the timing of this news, Li Ke didn't care at all. It's not more than 1000 years later. The timing of this kind of news can't be verified in this world at all!

"Go, send someone to issue an order to Murong Shun. I want all the black mountain bandits to die! No matter how big or small, no one will be left behind. They will be beheaded and they will be piled up in Beijing to watch, near the main official road over there! Order Xue Wanche, Qibi Heli dispatched [-] elite cavalry to guard the perimeter, and no one should escape!" Li Ke issued this order with a calm expression.

"Yes!" The messenger agreed, turned around and went straight out of the tent, turned over and rode away!

When Li Ke gave the order, Li Jing was by his side, and even Li Ke did not hide this from Li Jing from the beginning to the end, and Li Jing knew everything about it.

"Your Highness...the Black Mountain bandits have a thousand cavalry alone. I don't doubt that Murong Shun and the others can't beat them, but the base of these Black Mountain bandits is actually within the Heishan Mountains, which is dozens of miles west of Hanyang Pass. There must be a family member of the Black Bandit, and there must be a lot of women and babies among them. This will damage your reputation, Your Highness." Li Jing said worriedly.

"Are they from horse thieves?"

"Yes."

"Did they slaughter other tribes?"

"Yes."

"Since this is the case, if he dared to slaughter the tribe of my Tang people today, then I, Li Ke, will do what I say. Anyone who dares to offend my Tang Tianwei will be killed! As for reputation, whatever they think about it from the Western Regions, a butcher is a butcher. As long as the people of the Tang Dynasty approve of me." Li Ke's face was calm, as if the "slaughtered" tribe was not arranged by him.
