Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Zhang Biao's heart sank to the bottom at this moment. With Ashina Liang's words of whether to kill or keep, everyone became nervous.

“Do you have anything else to say?

I have just said that whether you live or die is entirely up to Shopkeeper Wang."

Ashina Liang looked at Zhang Biao coldly.

"General, you should be cavalry from the Turkic tribe, right?

Do you know how serious a crime it is to mobilize troops without authorization?

The general led his troops across the border and came to the Anxi Protectorate without permission. If the court knew about it, the general would probably be killed.

Even if His Royal Highness Prince Ji pleads for mercy, your tribe will still be punished.

What’s more, King Ji doesn’t dare to plead for you.

It would be better if the general just retreats now. I can promise that I will pretend that I have never seen you.

Otherwise, even if you kill us, our shopkeeper will report it to the Anxi Protectorate.

The Grand Protector of Anxi Protectorate will definitely send someone to investigate and report the general's affairs to the court.

That wouldn't do you any good, would it?"

The deployment of troops has been extremely strict in all dynasties, and unauthorized deployment of troops is a taboo.

No matter how great your achievements are or how high your title is, you cannot mobilize troops without authorization.

As a prince, Li Shen would secretly inform his father of any large-scale troop deployment. Even if he didn't tell him, he would at least give him a subtle notification.

State the purpose of the troop deployment, number of troops, etc.

This is also a kind of constraint imposed by the emperor on the army.

Although Zhang Biao had never been an official, he had been exposed to some management experience while following Wang Wencheng over the years and had some understanding of military deployments.

Although the Turks surrendered, the Tang people had always been on guard. This time, secretly mobilizing troops was a capital crime.

He didn't believe that the other party didn't know this.

Zhang Biao stared at Ashina Liang, hoping to see panic in him, but was disappointed.

Ashina Liang had a calm expression on his face and kept nodding to him, as if he agreed with what he said.

After he finished speaking, Ashina Liangcai slowly said:

"What you said makes sense, but I have been wanting to correct you on one thing."

"what's up?"

Zhang Biao was stunned.

"Don't call me general all the time. Although I want to be a general, I am still young.

My Ana wouldn't let me go to the battlefield, so strictly speaking, I am nothing, not even a title."

Ashina Liang looked at Zhang Biao with a smile.

"This is impossible? If not for the general, how could he mobilize the Turkish cavalry?"

Zhang Biao didn't believe Ashina Liang at all.

"Why is this impossible? I am the Khan's son. I, Ata, am also the Duke of Xue of the Tang Dynasty and the General of the Right Guard.

In the future the entire tribe will belong to me.

And you are wrong about one thing, they are not cavalry, they are herdsmen in the tribe.

We are a caravan from the Ashina tribe. We come here to exchange furs for cotton cloth and cotton from the workshops in Prince Ji's Palace.

Because there are so many of them, the herdsmen came to escort them spontaneously. This is all the furs and skins of our entire tribe.

Every household is counting on this to survive the winter.

You know, Prince Ji, that’s my uncle.”

Ashina pointed at himself and seemed extremely proud. He often said that his uncle, Prince Ji, was the most capable prince.

Ashina Liang's reason made Zhang Biao at a loss for how to refute it for a moment.

They are not an army, but a caravan, and they are carrying goods.

It is not too much to arrange five or six hundred carts and more than a thousand herdsmen to escort them. Haven't you heard that every family in the tribe has one and they rely on it to survive the winter.

What if such an important thing was stolen by bandits?

Little did he know that Wang Hongfu had already thought of what he was thinking of.

As the chief treasurer of Prince Ji's Mansion, it is reasonable for Wang Hongfu not to know about this.

What Wang Hongfu wrote in Xizhou was not a letter for help, but a transaction letter, in which he wanted to exchange furs with the Ashina tribe in the name of the Prince Ji's Mansion.

The request for help was made orally by the guards, and no evidence was left.

The Ashina tribe has always had business dealings with the Prince Ji's Palace.

It is not new for Prince Ji's Mansion to purchase furs, but the quantity purchased this time is larger.

All the furs from the tribe were collected and sent over. Because of their importance, the herdsmen voluntarily escorted them, and this was a very sufficient reason.

Even if the imperial court knew about it, they would not blame you. After all, you can't just watch your entire tribe freeze to death.

Just when Zhang Biao didn't know what to say, Wang Hongfu shouted:

“Wang knows that many of you don’t know who you are working for, so today I will tell you.

You are not the guards of Prince Ji's Mansion, you are the guards secretly formed by Wang Wencheng.

You followed Wang Wencheng and did a lot of evil things, all of which brought discredit to my Ji Palace.

However, His Royal Highness Prince Ji is merciful and does not want to cause any more killings. If you lay down your weapons, dismount and surrender now, you can avoid death.

If you follow the person in front of you and refuse to change your ways, this will be your burial place."

Wang Hongfu's words echoed in the air. He winked at the captain of the guards, and a group of people jumped on their horses, protecting Wang Hongfu and slowly retreating to the rear of the cavalry.

Now it was Ashina Liang's turn to perform.

Ashina Liang also mounted his horse and raised his lance high:

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

"Those who surrender will not be killed!"

The cavalry behind him shouted together, as powerful as tigers.

"Anyone who has not abandoned his weapons and horses within ten breaths will be killed without mercy."

After saying that, Ashina Liang also took a few steps back. He didn't want to be shot to death by a surprise attack. He was still young. Now that he had his Ata around, he didn't have to fight so desperately.

The atmosphere began to freeze as Ashina Liang spoke, and everyone looked at the crowds of people staring at them eagerly.

In addition to the archers, half of the people have taken out their scimitars.

With more than a thousand people, there is no way they can be their match.

They are not a regular army, they have armored cavalry.

"Dang Cang."

"Dang Cang."

There were several sounds of weapons falling to the ground, and someone silently threw down his weapon and got off his horse.

Once someone takes the lead, a chain reaction will be set off and no one wants to die.

"Dang Cang."

"Dang Cang."

There was a continuous sound of weapons falling to the ground, and most people began to dismount.

"Five more breaths."

Ashina Liang shouted again.

This time the sound of weapons falling became more frequent, and more and more people dismounted.

Zhang Biao's face turned ugly as he watched his troops begin to surrender.

He is different from the others. He is the leader, he is an insider, and he is Wang Wencheng's number one thug.

He has done countless evil things and has taken many lives.

He knew that he was doomed to die, and had planned to persuade these people to resist so that he could try to escape.

But now that he has surrendered, his fate is sealed.

"Get ready to shoot!"

Ashina Liang raised his hands high, and as long as he gave the order, they would immediately shoot at those who were still on horseback.
