Chapter 383: Longyou Earthquake
Qin Qiong looked at the current situation in the Western Turks, and the current Western Turk brigade continued to enter the territory of the Eastern Turks.
In the face of the attack of the Tibetans in the south of the Western Turks, the Western Turks left some soldiers and horses to deal with the Tibetans all the time.
It seems that the revenge of the Tibetans all the way to the Western Turks has entered the territory of the Western Turks.
However, Qin Qiong, who has been paying attention to the situation in the Western Turks, can see that the purpose of the Western Turks is not in Tibet.
Even if Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan advanced all the way, the casualties of the Western Turks were not large.
In many places, they have simply given up.
Instead, he left 10,000 or 20,000 soldiers and horses to fight with Songtsen Gampo, and even if he gave up some not very important territories, it would not hurt the Western Turks.
On the contrary, it is better to gather a large army and strategize to attack the Eastern Turks.
Taking over the fertile pastures of the Eastern Turks will be more beneficial to the Western Turks.
Moreover, the small battles with Tubo again and again used the strategy of stealing beams and changing pillars, and attacking from afar and closely.
Even faraway Persia had emissaries from the Western Turks lobbying for unity.
The entire western battlefield seemed to be spread out in front of him, Qin Qiong looked at the map hanging on the wall, and wondered in his heart who was pointing out the Western Turks.
If the Western Turks had dared to go to war like this, they might have already perished.
Li Yifu wrote down what Li Zheng said, and the content of the letter was for silent vomiting.
Li Zheng checked it and handed it to Li Yifu and instructed: "Let people quickly whip it to the hands of Mo Zhi, and then we have to deal with the big counterattack that is stubborn and lose our strength, and this wave of counteroffensive of the Eastern Turks will be very fierce." ”
"Understood."
Li Yifu left in a hurry with the letter.
It was very hot in Chang'an in June, and Li Zheng was sitting under a tree and planning to take a nap, waiting for Dahu's lamb skewers to be grilled.
Li Tai hurriedly came and asked, "Li Zheng, will the matter of the earth dragon turning over really happen?" ”
"I guess so."
After Li Zheng finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.
"Should? You have to know how many people in the court will impeach you and confuse the public if this does not happen. ”
Dahu came with a few skewers of mutton, "The mutton skewers are cooked." ”
Li Zheng took the mutton skewers and handed them to Li Tai.
Li Tai ate the mutton skewers and said, "Li Zheng, do you know? Recently, the Tibetans suddenly made a force to beat the Western Turks back. ”
"I heard." Li Zheng tasted Dahu's mutton skewers, Dahu's craftsmanship has grown rapidly, and the craftsmanship of barbecue lamb skewers is getting better and better.
Li Tai whispered again: "I don't know where the weapons of our Tang Dynasty came from in Tibet, after having weapons and grain and grass, Songtsen Gampo was stunned to bring back the previous land, and he also wanted to make the Western Turks pay for their blood debts." ”
Li Zheng nodded, "I think Songtsen Gampo is also a temperamental, he did a good job, let's fight, the more lively the fight, the better." ”
Li Tai continued: "Li Zheng, I heard that someone sold 100,000 stone of grain and grass to Tubo. ”
"Really?" Li Zheng took a sip of tea and ate lamb skewers.
Li Tai said in a low voice: "You shouldn't have done this." ”
Li Zheng smiled heartily, "What kind of thing is His Royal Highness King Wei talking about, when did I say such a thing." ”
Li Tai continued: "The 100,000 troops of the Western Turks attacked the Eastern Turks, and now the Western Turks are fighting on both sides in the southeast and south. ”
Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "Maybe I really don't want to live it, hmm." ”
Li Tai looked at Li Zheng's expression, and wondered if Li Zheng had done all these things.
The atmosphere was quiet again, and Li Tai was also lying under the tree, looking like he wanted to take a nap, and suddenly opened his eyes again and said, "Li Zheng, the prince will get married next year." ”
Li Zheng nodded slightly, "I know." ”
Li Tai said again: "I am also about to become an adult. ”
"And then?"
"I'm going to get married when I'm an adult."
"Hmm."
"I'm going to leave Chang'an when I become an adult."
Li Tai's voice was a little lonely.
Li Zheng opened his eyes and looked at Li Tai's expression and asked, "Leave Chang'an?" ”
"That's right, the prince will go to the fief when he becomes an adult."
"Hasn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu been in Chang'an?"
"People have military affairs, of course they can stay, I don't have military affairs."
Li Zheng whispered: "Your father shouldn't like his son leaving Chang'an, how can he say that you are also a son-in-law." ”
"Just because I am a son-in-law, the King of Shu is not a son-in-law, so I naturally have no worries, but I am a son-in-law, although I don't know what my father thinks, but once I become an adult, there will definitely be courtiers in the court who want me to leave Chang'an, for the sake of peace in the court."
It is indeed a very taboo thing for the prince to seek a prince.
For example, His Majesty has a criminal record.
I don't want to repeat the old thing.
Another change in Xuanwumen is something that Li Shimin or the courtiers don't want to see.
Li Zheng said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Wei, have you finished compiling the Chronicles of the Kuodi?" ”
Li Tai looked at the leaves on the branches and said, "It's almost there." ”
Li Zheng said again: "It will take three or five years soon." ”
Li Tai heard some clues.
Li Zheng yawned and said, "The Chronicles of the Territory is a book that your father asked you to compile, so you can't slack off." ”
"That's right!" Li Taidai stood up like an empowerment, "I want to compile the Geographical Chronicles, this is what my father gave me to do, if I leave Chang'an, without the help of those ministers in the court, how can I compile the Geographical Chronicles." ”
"Then it won't affect you if you take those ministers away."
Li Tai grinned and said: "Many classics are in the palace, I have to proofread them from time to time, how can the compilation of the chronicles be so simple." ”
Li Zheng said weakly: "That's the same." ”
Li Tai nodded, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, "I'll first replace the officials who compiled the gazetteer with my henchmen, and I can delay it for as long as I want." ”
"What if your father is going to compile a different person?"
Li Tai said calmly: "Do you really think that this king is easy to bully?" ”
"Otherwise, His Royal Highness King Wei should leave Chang'an, don't toss, and eat and drink for nothing here all day long."
"Heh, you want me to go, you Li Zheng wants to be beautiful."
Li Tai seems to have found a new direction in life as if he has hope again, "I'll arrange it first and stay!" Staying to compile the chronicles, this king is too clever. ”
Seeing that Li Zheng turned over and didn't take care of himself, Li Tai took two more skewers of mutton and left leisurely.
Until late June, the fighting between the Western Turks and the Eastern Turks became more and more intense.
There was still no earthquake in Longyou.
Gradually, some people concluded that what Li Zheng said was a rumor and a fallacy to confuse the public.
Someone kept handing the chapter into the Ganlu Hall to impeach Li Zheng.
Wei Chigong with the 30,000 soldiers and horses who came back from the Hexi Corridor had already arrived in Longyou, and he was about to arrive in Chang'an.
Not long after arriving at the Longyou realm, the wind and waves were originally calm, but suddenly the mountains began to shake.
The war horses neighed and ran wildly, and the marching brigade of soldiers and horses was in chaos for a while.
Even Wei Chigong rolled over and fell off his horse.
Standing up in embarrassment, Wei Chigong shouted loudly: "Order the whole army not to run around!" ”
The earthquake lasted for a short time, only half a pillar of incense.
After calming down, many people have palpitations.
