Volume 1: A life of fate is like a dream and flashy Chapter 1: Rescued by Night Attack In 793 A.D., in the ninth year of the Zhenyuan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, there was a prosperous scene in Chang'an City, but the southwest frontier was invaded by Tubo Bo and Nanzhao, and the war was plagued for many years.
In the middle of the night, Xu Tianlin personally led his subordinates to ambush at a hill, staring at the path that stretched into the valley ahead with blazing eyes.
Zhao Zhende, the adjutant general on the side, asked in a low voice: "General, this is almost ugly, why hasn't the enemy army appeared yet, it can't be that our intelligence is wrong?"
Xu Tianlin stretched out his finger and put it to his lips to make a silent gesture, pointed ahead again, and opened his mouth to make a "firelight" mouth shape.
Zhao Zhende looked at the path in the valley, the dotted light and shadow came from far and near, and the sound of horses' hooves and the surging crowd was faintly heard.
The path in the valley was crowded with people.
This group of people were dressed in different ways, including Tubo costumes, Nanzhao costumes, and Tang Dynasty costumes, but they were all ragged and unkempt.
Some of them bowed their heads in twos and threes, and some of them supported each other and staggered, and from time to time there were cries of women and children, as well as the insults and reprimands of the escorted Nanzhao soldiers.
In the crowd, a pregnant woman with a big belly was being helped by a man to move forward.
At this time, a soldier stepped forward and vigorously pushed the pregnant woman's shoulder, and scolded sharply: "Go faster, when will you get to the barracks so slowly?"
The pregnant woman almost fell to the ground, but a young man with a medicine box next to her reached out and helped her.
The young man asked softly, "How are you, are you hurt?"
The soldier raised the whip in his hand and struck the pregnant woman on the back: "Still slow to delay time" The young man instinctively turned behind the pregnant woman and protected the pregnant woman with his body.
The man who was originally helping the pregnant woman forward grabbed the whip that he threw down, and kept begging: "Master Jun, Master Jun, my wife is pregnant and is about to give birth."
You're good, you can't fight, you can't fight."
"If you can't beat the military master, I just want to fight" After saying that, the soldier forcefully pulled out the whip from the man's hand, raised it again, and threw it towards the pregnant woman.
The young man guarding the pregnant woman slammed the medicine box at the soldier, who was hit in the wrist by the medicine box, screaming and the whip falling to the ground.
The soldier drew his saber from his waist with angry eyes, rolled over and rushed towards the young man.
Seeing this, the young man took two steps back.
An old man ran out of the crowd and protected the young man behind him, and hurriedly apologized: "Master Jun, you dissipate your anger, he is young and ignorant, don't be like him, I asked him to compensate you is not Xiaoyu, and it is not okay to compensate the military master."
The young man named Xiaoyu looked at the old man: "Grandpa, he beat people with a whip, and he also beat pregnant women" The old man pulled it over, and Xiao Yu said sharply: "Hurry up and compensate the military master."
"No, no, he smashed my wrist with the box, and I smashed him on the wrist."
The soldier said and waved the steel knife in his hand.
The old man grabbed the soldier's hand holding the steel knife and begged: "Master Jun, Master Jun, you raise your noble hand, you raise your noble hand and beg for you" said and knelt down on his knees.
"Grandpa, you don't ask for him."
Xiao Yu bent down to help his grandfather.
When the soldier saw Xiao Yu bend down, he kicked the old man away and slashed at Xiao Yu with a knife.
An arrow struck the soldier in the chest, and the soldier died with wide eyes.
Xiao Yu and his grandfather were stunned by this sudden change, and then there was a burst of shouting and killing, and a group of soldiers rushed down from the opposite hill to meet the Nanzhao soldiers.
Xiao Yu and his grandfather hurriedly hid in the grass.
The Nanzhao soldiers were suddenly attacked, and the formation was in chaos, and Xu Tianlin, who had a cup of tea, led his troops to annihilate all the Nanzhao soldiers.
He arranged for his soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Deputy General Zhao Zhende followed Xu Tianlin's side: "General, we raided a team of old and weak soldiers tonight, and this raid was not enjoyable. ” The corners of Xu Tianlin's mouth raised slightly, and he replied softly: "We are rescuing my envoys from the Tang Dynasty to Nanzhao in the name of a surprise attack tonight, and we are not fighting a tough battle.
Zhende, go and call out the old, weak, sick and disabled who are hiding."
Zhao Zhende immediately clenched his fists: "Obey the order, general" He walked to the open space in front and shouted: "Hey, don't hide, my Zhenxi general of the Tang Dynasty is here, come out" Xiao Yu hid in the grass behind Xu Tianlin, and she walked out of the grass and looked at Xu Tianlin.
I saw that the man in front of him was tall and heroic.
The fair and handsome face, with angular perseverance, sword eyebrows like ink, deep and blazing eyes, a straight nose, thin and lightly pursed lips, and a cold and majestic kingly aura all over his body.
Xiao Yu came to Xu Tianlin and bowed his hand: "Thank you for the general's life-saving grace, if the general hadn't arrived in time, Xiao Yu would have been more than lucky."
Xu Tianlin looked Xiao Yu up and down, not tall, thin, wearing a small gray hat on his head, and a pair of round eyes on his dusty face were full of joy.
Xu Tianlin snorted lightly in his nose: "You are the kid who couldn't save people just now and was almost hacked to death with a knife."
Xiao Yu heard the mockery in Xu Tianlin's tone, and immediately withdrew the smile on his face: "You saved me, and I thank you too, we are clear" After speaking, he turned around and left.
"Is the grace of saving your life a thank you?"
Xu Tianlin raised his eyebrows.
"Do you want any heavy reward, I'm penniless," Xiao Yu said, patting his body and spreading his hands.
Xu Tianlin's voice was cold: "You have the ability to cause trouble, but you don't have the ability to save yourself, and you have such an attitude towards your life-saving benefactor, you are really arrogant" Xiao Yu raised his face: "I didn't let you come to the rescue, besides, how do you know that I can't save myself" "If you can save yourself, you are still a prisoner in the Nanzhao Army," Xu Tianlin still asked coldly.

Xiao Yu was speechless, glaring at Xu Tianlin hatefully.
At this time, people came out of hiding places one after another.
Xiao Yu also walked towards his grandfather in the crowd.
After Zhao Zhende commanded them to line up neatly, he reported to Xu Tianlin: "General, the people have been assembled" Xu Tianlin nodded and walked towards the assembled crowd.
His gaze swept over their faces one by one, looking for the envoys from Nanzhao in the crowd.
For a moment, he turned his gaze to Zhao Zhende and shook his head slightly.
Zhao Zhende willingly shouted to the crowd: "Let's see if we see if anyone is missing, we will register and make a register in a while, as long as we can prove everyone's innocence, we will let everyone go and never be embarrassed."
"Master Jun, there are still a few people on the stretcher, and they are all sick."
Xiao Yu's grandfather pointed to the stretcher on the ground behind him.
Zhao Zhende came to the stretcher, carefully looked at the few people lying down, and asked Xiaoyu's grandfather: "What is this old man's name?"
"Under the surname Yu, everyone calls me Uncle Yu."
"Uncle Yu, who are these people, do you know them?"
"I didn't know them before, they all met when they were caught together.
Oh, he met in the woods the other day.
I was sick and recuperated at my house, but I was arrested together.
Yu Bo pointed to one of them.
Zhao Zhende looked at this person, who was eight points similar to the envoy who sent Nanzhao in the portrait, and continued to ask: "Is his illness serious?"
"If you were in bed and recuperating, you would have been cured, but after being caught, you have delayed treatment, and it is a bit serious."
Zhao Zhende returned to Xu Tianlin's side and reported softly: "General, that person should be the envoy we are looking for, but he is sick and needs to be treated as soon as possible." ” "This is the situation of Nanzhao, and it is very close to the military camp of Nanzhao, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time.
Inform Lingyun and let her answer at Wuli Pavilion outside Yizhou City," Xu Tianlin ordered in a low voice.
"Obey, General" Zhao Zhende bowed and saluted, turned around and went down to arrange matters.
Xu Tianlin once again faced the assembled crowd: "You are all the people of Li in this southwest frontier, whether you are a Tubo person, a Nanzhao person, or my Tang people, I believe that you all love this land that raised us."
Unfortunately, our homeland is now being slaughtered by war, as the Zhenxi general of the Tang Dynasty, I will hold high the weapons in my hand to defend the people of the Tang Dynasty from the bullying of Tubo and Nanzhao, but I will not indiscriminately kill the unarmed Tubo and Nanzhao people.
Return to your homeland, the people of the Tang Dynasty will return to Yizhou with our army."
After Xu Tianlin finished speaking, the crowd began to stir, and the Tubo people and Nanzhao people picked up their bags and left one by one.
Xiao Yu picked up his medicine box from the messy battlefield, put it on his shoulder again, and he went over to grab Uncle Yu's arm: "Grandpa, are we going to Yizhou?"
"Yizhou is at least guarded by the army, which is much more stable than other state towns in this Xinjiang."
Uncle Yu looked at Xiao Yu lovingly: "Xiao Yu, you are wandering around with your grandfather, you have no fixed place, and you have grown up in a blink of an eye, we should also find a place to settle down and live a happy life for a few years." ” "Okay, Xiaoyu listens to grandpa, and we will follow Tang Jun to Yizhou together" The third love promise is not lightly :
