Chapter 526: Leading the Leader (16)

At the end of November of the first year of Zhengsheng, the protracted battle for Tibet was finally settled, and the Empress Wu adopted Wu Sansi's recommendation, and made the emperor's heir Li Dan the generalissimo of the Guanlongdao marching army, with the Lanying Army as its army, and sent the left Yuzhan Guard, the left and right Wei elite government soldiers, and the right Yulin Wei and Yushan Army to recruit a total of 120,000 soldiers, with the left and right leading guards and the right Yuzhan Guard as the reserve, and went west to Chang'an to conquer the Tubo and Tuyuhun rebels.

The entourage will Zuo Ruyun, Hanoi Wang Wu Yizong has been sent in advance, and the rest also include Jianchang Wang Wu Youning, Xia Guanshangshu, Wang Xiaojie, the general of the right guard, Feng Shixun, the general of the left Yuchuan Wei, Yan Zhiwei, the general of the Yushan Army, Wu Bingde, the general of the left guard, Li Jinxing, and others.

In addition, Hou Sizhi, the general of the right Yuchao Wei, and Wu Yanji, the king of Nanyang and the general of the right leading army, also led their troops westward and stationed in Chengji County, Qinzhou, in preparation for countermeasures.

On the day of the expedition, Empress Wu personally led the court's civil and military officials, the ministers and nobles, to Anximen to see off Li Dan.

Quan Ce was also among them, he only glanced at Li Dan's car, and then he didn't have any thoughts, it was a carriage, although it was not Luan, but it was also two horses side by side, purple curtains and gold tents, very luxurious, such a commander of the three armies, although his identity was noble, but to arouse the hearts of the soldiers to fight to the death, it was extremely difficult.

"The emperor is going, the mountain is high and the road is far away, the horse is handsome, the mother emperor respects you a glass" Empress Wu picked up a white jade wine glass on the lacquer plate and dipped her lips.

"Erchen doesn't dare, it is the duty of the son-in-law to be loyal to the country, the son-in-law is not filial piety in front of him, and the mother and emperor take care of the jade body" Li Dan knelt on his knees, raised the cup above his head, and drank it all with some crying.

"The heir of the emperor doesn't have to worry, there is a foolish brother in Beijing, the province is fixed in the morning and dusk, walking in front of the mother emperor, and your share is also taken care of, and the foolish brother also toasts you with a cup, praying for your peace and happiness, as soon as possible, Le Shi Yanran, and return successfully" Li Xian, the king of Luling, was on the side, and also held a glass to toast, with a deep sense of brotherhood and deep expectations.

Li Dan looked at his brother, and the inexplicable fire in his heart was burning.

I am like an abyss in the Shendu, walking on thin ice, tortured, you hide in Fangzhou to enjoy comfort, you go back to the Shendu, I have to stabilize my storage position, sleep in the open air, go to the outside of the Saiwai, what is the reason for this? Why?

"Thank you, Brother Huang" Li Dan raised his glass and slowly poured the wine syrup of Jiannan's burning spring into his mouth, moving slowly and seriously, paying tribute to the flesh and blood that had long passed.

"Father is successful" Li Chengqi, Li Longfan and Li Longye knelt on the ground.

"Well, study hard, cultivate one's self-cultivation, cherish the time, don't be lazy" Li Dan helped them up one by one and explained a few words, the eldest of the three sons, Li Chengqi, was only sixteen years old, all of them were half-grown teenagers, and it was when he needed someone to support and take care of him, he looked around, his heart was empty, his closest relatives were all there, but he couldn't say anything to anyone.

You looked at Quan Ce, his eyes were slightly condensed, for the war in Tubo, he got good at both ends, and he couldn't let him go easily, "Da Lang, your cousin Shouchang's lifelong affairs, you have to pay more attention, don't delay the flowering period"

Quan Ce has been standing by and watching, and he scolded in his heart when he heard the words.

The marriage of the county lord of Shouchang was mentioned by Li Dan as a bargaining chip earlier, but he refused, and now Li Dan's wish to go on the expedition has been successful, but the old thing is brought up again, or on this occasion, the intention is no more obvious, to sow discord and disgusting people.

Quan Ce's expression was indifferent, and he didn't pick up the stubble, and he slammed it to the ground, "I wish His Royal Highness the Emperor a victory and an early victory"

Li Dan snorted lightly, he let it out anyway, he was not afraid that the power would not be subdued, Tuan Tuan arched his hands around, and knelt down in front of the Empress Wu, "Mother Emperor, Erchen will go now"

Empress Wu waved her hand.

Li Dan's fat body staggered and stepped on the carriage, stepped on the wheel, and waved his hands vigorously.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound of the desolate horn sounded, from near and far, connected into a piece, and the sound shook the sky.

Flags were waving, people were shouting and horses were neighing, axles were heard, and armor pieces were crashing, one after another, and the army slowly pulled out.

The send-off was over, and Wu Houluan drove in front and announced that Wu Sansi and Li Xian were riding.

Quan Ce followed the flow of the court and returned to the city through Anximen, and he was surrounded by his own brothers, Quan Zhu, Wang Hui, and Wu Chongmin and Wu Chongxing.

Someone behind "Da Lang" called, but it was Li Jing, the prince of Qiguo, who patted the horse's head and came over.

There was a trace of bitterness on his face, and it was not as simple as inviting guests to dinner, in the past, the situation was chaotic, and the large and small forces were criss-crossed, and he was still able to maneuver around one or two activities, and now the situation in the DPRK and China is gradually becoming clear, and there are only a handful of forces that have broken out of the encirclement, and the people under it are also strong people who eat people and do not spit out bones.

The backbone of his subordinates, Guanglu Shaoqing Huan Yanfan, was suppressed by Wang Lu so that it was difficult to breathe, and Zhang Cambodia in Shaofu Langzhong was even more desolate, a minister, with three mountains above his head: Wu Youji, Wu Chongxing and Zhengzhong.

Originally, Li Jing didn't have much ambition, and the dismal operation was enough, and he was very happy to absorb two new science and technology scholars under his command.

It's a pity that the situation doesn't allow him to live a small life alone, two days ago, Wei Wei Shaoqing Zhang Yizhi made an appointment to meet him, and the words were cloudy, but the meaning was clear, recruiting Li Jing and his small forces.

"In Dalang's opinion, where should I go?" Li Jing lowered his voice, explained the situation and the situation, and did not deliberately avoid it, they were all his own people.

"Where do we go from here? Hehehehe" Quan Ce laughed out loud.

It seems that Li Jing is addicted to acting, and it is estimated that he still has the idea of taking refuge in Zhang Yizhi and doing Infernal Affairs, although this idea is exciting and exciting, but it is also naïve.

"Cousin, our brothers haven't been together for a long time, and my mother is still talking about you, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, how about going back to Princess Tianshui's mansion together?"

Li Jing was confused for a moment, this seemed to be the answer he was asking, he was asking about political choices, not where to go now, what kind of answer is it to go back to the princess's mansion, his eyes burst out, he slowly grinned, smiled, relieved, and a little unwilling, after all, it was all over, "You're right, I miss my aunt too, so I'm going to say goodbye to my aunt."

"Hehe" Quan Ce looked at him with a smile on his face.

Releasing Li Jing did not play a big role in fact, the biggest gain was not Zhang Cambodia, nor Huan Yanfan, but Li Jing himself, who had developed the ability to take charge of himself, and also let Quan Ce see his determination and loyalty, this is a person who can be reused.

Princess Yiyang saw that many juniors came back together, and her relatives and nephews who had not been at the door for a long time also arrived, and she was very happy.

Yunxi has a big belly and poop, and she can't sit and lie down for too long, so it is inconvenient to see outsiders, so she arranged a Turkic cook to add food to them.

"Da Lang, and Jing'er, although it is separated from the room, His Royal Highness the King of Luling, after all, is your uncle and uncle, since he has come to the Shendu, you are the juniors, you should also go to meet and greet the ......" Princess Yiyang said in a whisper, and looked at the two of them.

Quan Ce and Li Jing looked at each other and smiled, but it was a great opportunity to tell the Quartet about Li Jing's return, "Mother is right, the child is not thoughtful, we will go to Luling Wangfu tomorrow"

Li Jing echoed on the side, and turned his head away, "Auntie, your nephew and daughter-in-law have never seen the world, they are socializing outside, and they are tied up, and when their younger siblings give birth, I want you to take them with me, and teach and teach ......."

"Okay, you guys, don't let me take a breath" Princess Yiyang happily responded, stretched out her finger and tapped his forehead.

"The child is in Beijing, but only my aunt is the closest to ......" Li Jing was straightforward, with a little coquettish taste.

The aunt and nephew over there talked lively, and Quan Ce's thoughts didn't belong.

Li Xian has seen it, and it is not worth looking forward to, Queen Wei, what kind of person will she be?
