The Tang Dynasty was the most powerful period in history, but it also experienced countless internal and external troubles, and almost all of the Tang Dynasty was fighting against the surrounding nomadic forces, and the biggest threat was the Tubo Dynasty.

In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Songtsen Gampo, the commander of Tubo, sent an envoy to Chang'an because he admired the wealth and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, hoping to make peace with the Tang Dynasty and strengthen contacts with the Central Plains, but Tang Taizong categorically refused.

In the tenth year of Zhenguan, because of the rejection of his affinity, Tubo was unwilling to send troops to harass Tuyuhun, who was protected by the Tang Dynasty.

In the twelfth year of Zhenguan, Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo led the army to invade Tuyuhun and defeated it, after defeating Tuyuhun, Tubo took advantage of the victory to turn to the southeast, broke the party and Bailan Zhuwu, and extorted 200,000 troops into Curzon Prefecture.

Songtsen Gampo did not go deeper immediately after entering Songzhou, but continued to send marriages, but his attitude was tougher.

His toughness did not bring marriage to the Tang Dynasty, but brought the Tang army of Songzhou to fight, and the Battle of Songzhou officially began.

……

In late August, the weather is no longer as hot as in summer, and it is starting to cool slightly. The warm and cold climate is a melodious favorite. Since Li Ke moved two bushes of hibiscus flowers, she has also changed her previous laziness and takes care of it carefully every day.

"The weather is so sunny today, and the scenery is good...... "Melodious hummed a song while watering the flowers.

After Tong'er found the small flower bones that had just emerged, she pointed to Melodious Yang in surprise. "Look, princess, this hibiscus has bulged out flower bones, and it should bloom in ten days and a half months!"

"It's still so small, it shouldn't bloom that quickly!" Melodious was very relieved to see that the hibiscus she was serving every day bulged out of flower bones, and wanted to tell Li Ke the good news. But he seems to have been very busy lately, and every morning he disappeared before she woke up, and every night he did not know when he went back to his room to rest, and he had not spoken to him for several days.

Melodious asked, "What have Your Highnesses been busy with lately?"

Tong'er shook her head and replied, "But the princess misses Her Royal Highness?" But if you ask this, Tong'er is really difficult to answer! The princess doesn't know, how can the slave and maid know? ”

Melodious looked lost, sighed and said, "Hey, I thought you guys often walk around with the guards, so you know a little bit about it!"

Tong'er sighed when she saw the princess, and joked with a smile: "If the princess wants His Royal Highness, it is better to go and see His Royal Highness, wouldn't it hurt the lovesickness to the flowers!"

Melodious saw that Tong'er had often made fun of her recently, and brandished a kettle and threatened: "Ghost girl, I really spoiled you, and you are getting bolder and bolder, aren't you?"

"The princess spares her life, the slave and maid will go to find out if His Royal Highness has returned to the house at this time, so that the princess can find it!" After Tong'er finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth and ran out of the yard with a chuckle.

Outside the palace hall, Melodious walked forward, hesitating whether to enter. Listening to Tong'er, Li Ke came to the study as soon as she returned home, and she couldn't wait to come to him, I was afraid that she would be laughed at again. But if she was unwilling to go back, she really wanted to know what he had been busy with in recent days, why it was so difficult to even say a word?

Melodious struggled in her heart, extremely entangled, but in the end she decided to go in and find him. As soon as I arrived at the door of the study, I heard a voice coming from the study, could there be anyone else? She pressed her ear to the door, trying to hear who was talking in the study.

A deep voice said: "Our army suffered a setback in this contact battle, although the losses were not large, but the impact of this battle was not small, and some tribes that were originally affiliated with our dynasty launched a rebellion because of this, and our army was temporarily in a disadvantageous situation!"

Li Ke said: "Tubo has attacked in Songzhou this time, completely provoked the father, the father has ordered a heavy attack, and the king has also asked for an order, as long as the father's holy decree is given, the king will immediately lead the troops to the battle!"

Melodious as if struck by lightning, leaning on the door, God, he is going to go out to fight, for the ancient times this kind of physical war she always has palpitations, soldiers and iron horses, swords and swords, not to mention such a barbarian place as Tibet, the soldiers are even more fierce and fierce.

An attendant hurried over, and when he saw the princess at the door, he immediately saluted. "Hail the princess!"

Li Ke immediately went out after hearing the voice, and was stunned when he saw Melodious standing in front of him, and said, "Melodious, since you came, why don't you come in?"

"I ...... You ......" melodious for a while, not knowing how to answer.

"Why do I come in!" Li Ke didn't delve into it, so he turned his head to face the entourage who came over.

The entourage said: "Your Highness, there is a letter from the emperor!"

Li Ke hurriedly took the letter and opened it, first frowning, and then stretching out.

Melodious was a little uneasy, but at this time she hoped that the emperor would not allow Li Ke to lead the troops, she asked urgently: "What did the letter say, but the order was given to let you lead the troops to the battle?"

"You know everything?" Li Ke raised his eyes, thinking that she must have heard the conversation outside the room, and said to everyone: "My father said that although this king has learned marching strategy since childhood, after all, he has no experience in leading troops, so he did not send troops to this king.

Hearing that the emperor did not give an order for Li Ke to lead the troops, Melodious breathed a sigh of relief, but the words that followed made her heart rise to her throat again.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Although my father did not send troops to this king, it is also a good thing that this king has such ambitions, so he ordered to follow General Niu Jinda to go to experience, this time the four people who led the troops are all strong generals, presumably this king will be able to learn a lot!"

Seeing the yearning on Li Ke's face, Melodious suddenly felt that she was extremely selfish and insignificant at this time, she couldn't bear to stop her, so she had to ask, "When will you leave?"

Li Ke replied: "I will go to make peace with General Niu early tomorrow morning!"

When night fell, there was silence in the Mingxuan Pavilion, and only the melodious sound of packing up clothes could be heard.

Li Ke stepped forward to surround melody, he knew that this woman was extremely uneasy at this time, he said: "It's enough to pack these up, it's not normal to go on an expedition, it's not suitable to bring too many clothes!"

Melodious took a deep breath, forcing the tears not to fall at this moment, she pretended to be relaxed and said: "But these are usually to be worn and used, you also said, the expedition is not more than usual, if you don't bring it all, you will not be blind if you want to use it when you pour!"

Li Ke also wanted to liven up the atmosphere, he smiled: "Haha, okay, just follow the lady, no matter how much the lady cleans up, she will carry it on her husband!"

Melodious smile, suddenly half-truthful advice. "Why don't you take me with you, and I'll take care of you."

Since she knew that Li Ke was going to go on the expedition, she was really worried, it was common for her to be sick and injured when she was on the march, and she wanted to say several times, "Can you not go!" But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back raw, because these words of affection for children would have no effect except to embarrass him.

Li Ke is destined not to belong only to herself, he belongs to the Tang Dynasty, belongs to the people, he has strong ambitions, how can such a man be stumped by his children's private affairs, she will not be stupid enough to be the woman who will only stumble him with her children's private feelings, isn't it boring to be self-deprecating, all she can do is unconditional support.

"If I could, I'd love to carry you on my back as well, but ......" Li Ke touched his melodious head and smiled helplessly. (To be continued.) )
