Li Shimin's side has already discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji.

Just when they were about to issue an edict, they decided to transfer the King of Shu from Jiannan Province to Henan Province, and then gradually weaken the strength of the King of Shu.

The king of Shu actually played first, saying that the Nanzhao tribes were united and prepared to attack the Tang Dynasty.

The king of Shu had already personally led his troops and horses to the front line to resist the Nanzhao tribes.

The land of Nanzhao has always been chaotic.

After Li Shimin and eldest grandson Wuji got the news, they were taken aback at first.

But I soon thought that where is Nanzhao going to attack the Tang Dynasty, this is clearly an excuse for the King of Shu!

Obviously, the King of Shu had already guessed their intentions.

That's why it's like this.

But now, Nanzhao has attacked Datang, and the news has come out.

At this time, can this will continue to be given?

If it continues to be issued, will it make the people of the Tang Dynasty, how can they think of him, the emperor?

At this time, Li Shimin's heart was slightly cold.

It seems that this son, who he is very optimistic about, is actually far from being so obedient.

And his power is over.

Even if you want to move him, you have to think twice.

Now, is he listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement?

……

At this time, Li Su had already led Xue Rengui's army of 50,000 to Nanzhao.

At this time, Nanzhao actually had no intention of attacking Datang.

But these are not important, when the Tang army presses the border, will Nanzhao still be indifferent?

At that time, as long as there is a confrontation with Nanzhao on the border, it will be equivalent to a war between the two sides.

Of course, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will win all battles.

At the time of departure, Li Su had already ordered people to start collecting information about Nanzhao.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were many small countries in the Erhai region.

These countries do not have a subordinate relationship with each other, and they are fighting each other, which is extremely chaotic.

Gradually, these countries were constantly devoured, and eventually formed a situation where six countries stood side by side.

These six countries are known as the Six Edicts, namely: Mengshan Edict, Yue Xi Edict, Langqiong Edict, Xuan Zhi Edict, Shi Lang Edict, and Mengshe Edict.

Mengshe edict is in the south of the edicts, called the southern edict.

In the original historical trajectory, the Tang Dynasty supported Nanzhao, who successively conquered various tribes in the West Erhai region, eliminated the other five edicts, and finally unified the Erhai region to form the Nanzhao Kingdom.

This idea is a good way for Li Su.

In fact, he can also support one of the small countries and help him annex the other five countries and unify the entire Nanzhao.

And then, Jiannandao can start a protracted war with Nanzhao.

And as long as the war does not stop every day, the father has no excuse to transfer himself.

In recent years, Datang has developed extremely rapidly.

The main traffic arteries, the roads are all clear.

The roads between the continents are all opened, and as for the county and township levels, it depends on the actual situation of the local continents.

The road from Yizhou to the edge of Nanzhao is naturally unimpeded.

Therefore, the steam car transported 20,000 infantry and food and grass to the border first.

As for the 30,000 cavalry, they will have to hurry slowly behind.

In the era when steam cars were speeding up again, as long as the roads were good, the speed of the cavalry could not catch up with the steam cars.

Of course, it won't be slow.

After arriving at the border, Li Su immediately ordered the soldiers to set up camp.

And set up a defensive formation and do a good job of fortifications.

The Nanzhao region was extremely chaotic, although Li Su did not think that they could threaten the Yizhou army.

But the necessary precautions are necessary.

Li Su didn't want to capsize in the gutter.

And just when they had not yet deployed the fortifications, a scout suddenly came to report that a Nanzhao soldier had appeared in front, and the number was about 300.

Hearing this news, Li Su couldn't help frowning slightly.

He led a large army to come, and it was completely improvised.

And, they came very quickly.

Even if Nanzhao has a detailed work in Yizhou, he hears the news that they sent troops, but he is afraid that the news will not have time to pass it back.

In this case, how did Nanzhao know that the Tang army had been overwhelmed?

Is this 300-strong army their vanguard?

If it were their vanguard army, the number would be small, right?

Just three hundred, stupidly rushing in front of their army of 50,000?

Could it be that he came to die?

No matter what, Li Su decided to take down the vanguard team of 300 people first.

After taking it down, after interrogation, you will naturally know their purpose.

However, before Li Su gave the order to send troops.

However, a personal soldier came to report, saying that it was a team of 300 people outside who came to ask for a meeting.

Well?

Didn't they come to fight us?

But you know that we are coming, to hear the news?

The question is, how did they know we were coming?

Puzzled, Li Su directly ordered people to invite their leader in.

A short time later, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman led two maids into the big tent.

The girl wore a flowered hat and an openwork dress, covered with leather armor, and a scimitar around her waist.

This girl's eyebrows are picturesque, a pair of autumn-like eyes are tactful, Qiong's nose is bright, and she is beautiful.

She has a kind of sweetness unique to Nanzhao women, which makes Li Su feel slightly distracted after seeing it for the first time.

Moreover, this girl also gave Li Su a somewhat familiar feeling.

But Li Su was very sure that he didn't know this girl.

But the girl and the two maids beside her obviously knew Li Su.

Seeing Li Su, the maid beside the girl shouted in great surprise and joy: "Donkey! ”

And the girl shouted: "Brother-in-law, is that you?" ”

Well?

One is called a colt, the other is called a brother-in-law, what kind of messy title is this?

But soon, Li Su reacted.

By the way, at that time, the princesses of the fifteen countries were sent to the Tang Dynasty and relatives.

Among them is the princess of Meng's Zhaoguo, Li Su still remembers that the princess is called Duan Lishu.

This girl's appearance is five points similar to Duan Lishu, but this girl is three points better than Duan Lishu.

The girl in front of her is probably Duan Lishu's sister-in-law, who is also the princess of Meng's edict.

Hearing their words, Li Su smiled and said: "Princess Lishu finally married Xia Yuntian, the head of the Propaganda Department, so don't call the title brother-in-law or concubine anymore." ”

The princess of the fifteen countries, Li Su is unmarried.

Since Princess Natasha married Li Yuanfang, other princesses have seen that the King of Shu is really intentional, and the water is ruthless.

Then they chose to marry.

Duan Lishu finally married Xia Yuntian, the head of the Propaganda Department.

Hearing Li Su's words, Duan Lishu said angrily: "However, I recognize you as a brother-in-law." Others, I won't admit it! ”

"Brother-in-law, people's name is Duan Yutong. By the way, brother-in-law, how did you know that we were in trouble? My brother-in-law knew that people were in trouble, so he immediately sent troops, and they were really moved! ”

Duan Yutong said as he naturally held Li Su's arm.

The two of them were so close that they could smell a faint fragrance.

It's not the taste of rouge gouache, but it looks like a natural floral fragrance, I guess it should be the body fragrance of the little girl, right?

Li Su tilted his head slightly, and when he looked closely, he could see that Duan Yutong's face was extremely haggard.

There was a deep worry hidden in his eyes.

It seems that the situation of their tribe is not good.

This little girl is so flattering to herself, she needs her own help very much.

She must have known that she would not come because of the difficulties of their tribe.

But she deliberately mistook it for this, which made Li Su not easy to deny it.

And the purpose of Li Su's visit was actually to support one of the tribes.

In fact, there is not much difference in supporting that tribe, as long as you are obedient.

Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, this king heard that you were in trouble, so he immediately rushed over, fortunately he came in time!" ”

"Princess Yutong, what is the situation of your edict now? Tell me about it. ”

Hearing that this King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty actually admitted that he was here to help them with the edict, Duan Yutong was suddenly surprised and delighted.

The sorrowful look on his face could not help but be swept away.

She hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, it's good for you to call someone Yutong directly!" Now, our tribe is besieged by two tribes, Yue Xi Zhao and Lang Qiong Zhao, and the situation is very critical. ”

"This time, I am going to take someone to find my sister and seek help from Datang. I didn't expect that my brother-in-law cared about us so much and came so quickly, we were saved, it's really good! ”

Hearing this, Li Su couldn't help but smile slightly.

It turned out that she was with three hundred people, not because she knew the news of her army's overwhelm, but was ready to go to Datang for help.

It's just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse!

Li Su couldn't help but continue to ask: "How many soldiers and horses do you have in the edict of Mengxi, and how many soldiers and horses do you have in the edict of Yue Xi and the edict of Langqiong?" How are you doing now? ”

Duan Yutong couldn't help but introduce: "Brother-in-law, after a tragic battle, we only have about 10,000 soldiers and horses now. And their two combined troops totaled more than 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”

"Now, they've besieged our tribe, and we won't be able to hold it out for long. Brother-in-law, help us, okay? ”

At the end, Duan Yutong involuntarily grabbed Li Su's arm, as if he had exhausted all his strength because of thirst.

Li Su, who was in pain, couldn't help but gasp and screamed in pain.

Duan Yutong found out that he couldn't help blushing, and while apologizing to Li Su, he hurriedly reached out to help him knead his arm.

However, her eyes were always staring at Li Su, and her eyes showed infinite pleading.

It turned out that their tribe had reached such a nervous point.

Li Su guessed if this little girl went to Datang for help.

Wait for them to arrive in Yizhou, find her sister, and then ask for help, and then wait for Datang to send troops.

The tribe that is only afraid of them here has already perished, and it is too late in time.

In other words, this little girl led 300 people, not so much to Datang for help.

It's better to say that he took refuge in Datang.

I'm afraid she understands this herself.

That's why after meeting yourself, you will be so surprised and so flattering yourself.

Well, a small tribe of just over 10,000 people that now remain.

If they are to help them control the entire Nanzhao, with their more than 10,000 troops, it will definitely not be enough.

When the time comes, Datang can garrison troops and help them suppress the overall situation.

At that time, this Nanzhao will be all under the control of Datang.

And his territory will also have Jiannan Dao, Nanzhao, and Tuyuhun.

At present, Meng Zhao is really the best object of support.

Thinking of this, Li Su no longer hesitated, and immediately said: "Yutong, don't worry, this king is here to save you, of course he will help you." ”

"Saving people is like fighting fire, don't hesitate, now let's go right away! Come, get into the chariot with me, and show the way ahead. ”

Hearing Li Yu's words, Duan Yutong couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

said incoherently: "Brother-in-law, thank you, thank you so much!" Your great kindness to our tribe, and your words will repay your great kindness! ”

Li Su smiled and said: "If you are grateful, it's not too late to talk about it afterwards, now get in the car!" ”

"Hmm!"

Li Su immediately assembled a convoy, gathered 3,000 steam chariots, took 20,000 soldiers, and prepared to drive.

Li Su took Duan Yutong and sat in the first car.

Li Su asked Duan Yutong to show the way and led the convoy behind him forward.

Duan Yutong couldn't help but say to Li Su: "Brother-in-law, just let me lead the way in front, it's too dangerous for you to stay in front." ”

Li Su smiled slightly, and then said to Duan Yutong: "Yutong, I told you, don't call me brother-in-law." ”

"Also, this car is very safe, nothing will happen, you just have to show the way in front."

Hearing Li Su's words, Duan Yutong's face turned slightly red, and then he said to Li Su, "Okay, brother." ”

Hearing the words "Brother", Li Su stumbled under his feet and almost fell.

This is the title of Shenma, hey?

Isn't Brother the title of the prince in the Qing Dynasty drama?

But soon Li Su thought that in the ethnic minorities, especially in Yunnan, there is actually such a name.

Usually an unmarried woman, a term for a young man.

Brother and sister, or Brother Ahei.

Princess Duan Yutong's elder brother is called a long friendship, and he is itching in his heart.

It's just that Li Su actually knows it very well in his heart.

This little princess may not be a friendship with him, but a friendship with the Tang Army.

It was also for the safety of their entire clan that she had to bend to herself.

To tell the truth, this little princess is like a lark in the mountains, which really amazes Li Su.

But Li Su already has a lot of ladies in her family, and she is not ready to continue to expand the harem, so she doesn't have too many thoughts about her.

The Nanzhao countries, especially the Mengzhao Zhao, have received a lot of support from the Tang Dynasty because of their peace with the Tang Dynasty.

At least the roads were built very smoothly, and all of them were built with concrete.

Therefore, the speed of the advance of the army is very fast.

It only took half a day for them to arrive at a place thirty miles away from Meng's edict.

However, because they had set out at noon, it was already completely dark when they arrived.

Li Su was not familiar with the terrain here, so he ordered the soldiers to rest in the car.

Soldiers were then sent to take turns keeping vigil.

At this time, Duan Yutong couldn't help but ask Li Su: "Brother, do you want me to sneak into the tribe, discuss it with my father, and then join forces tomorrow and kill them by surprise?" ”

Li Su couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do you have a secret passage that can easily sneak into the tribe?" ”

Duan Yutong bit his lip and said, "No, but I can lead my subordinates to rush in." ”

Li Su smiled slightly and said, "It's not necessary, you don't need to be inside and outside." It's just 30,000 coalition troops, and in the eyes of this king, it's just a chicken and a dog. ”

Hearing Li Yu's words, Duan Yutong couldn't help but lose his mind slightly.

Soon, the Tang soldiers began to live and cook.

In normal times, Li Su eats with the soldiers.

But now that Duan Yutong is by her side, in order to take care of her, Li Su ordered someone to deliver the food to the car.

The rice is rice, and the vegetables, in addition to vegetables and meat that are easy to carry such as potatoes and cabbage, also have green vegetables.

Duan Yutong couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Brother, do you still carry greens with you on the march?" ”

Li Su smiled and said: "Green vegetables are rich in vitamins. If you don't eat vegetables for a long time, it will lead to malnutrition. ”

"Of course, if you carry greens, it's easy to spoil. These vegetables are canned by us, and when we eat them, we can just take them out and heat them up. ”

Can?

Duan Yutong was a little curious, not understanding what it was, but he didn't ask much.

The taste of these dishes is naturally very ordinary, after all, they are a big pot dish in the army.

For a princess of a tribe, it must not be much better.

But I don't know if I'm hungry or what, Duan Yutong eats with relish.

After eating, I moved a little bit.

Li Yu said to Duan Yutong: "It's not too early, let's rest." ”

They drove a total of 3,000 steam cars and 20,000 soldiers.

On average, there are only seven people in each car.

These seven people, and a driver.

The driver can rest directly in the front cab.

The remaining six soldiers rested directly in the car behind, so they even saved the effort of setting up tents.

And Duan Yutong and her two maids did not enjoy special treatment, but together with Li Su, the four of them rested in the first car.

It was the first time she had slept with a man.

Well, even though they're far apart, they don't really sleep together.

But Duan Yutong still felt slightly shy.

Soon, a soldier brought a futon.

Li Su skillfully made the bed by himself, and then quickly fell asleep.

Duan Yutong, on the other hand, made the bed and lay down with the help of two maids.

Sleeping in the car, except for a mattress that is not too thick, it is a hard body.

When I went to sleep, my diaphragm was uncomfortable, and it was not comfortable at all.

In addition, in an unfamiliar environment, where can Duan Yutong sleep?

However, the two girls beside her, perhaps a series of encounters, consumed a lot of their energy, and they quickly fell asleep.

Duan Yutong, on the other hand, was unable to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Duan Yutong couldn't help biting his lip lightly and sat up gently.

……

That night, Li Su slept soundly, and also had an extremely real dream.

He dreamed that he slept on the bed at home, and then hugged Xue Xiaoxiao, and slept very sweetly.

This dream is really very real, so real that it wasn't until Li Su woke up the next morning that he felt like he was still holding Xue Xiaoxiao.

The feel is so real.

After Li Su opened his sleepy eyes, he was surprised to find it.

Hey? Is there really someone in the bed?

Xiaoxiao is obviously at home, when did he come with him?

After looking carefully, I found that where is Xue Xiaoxiao, it is clearly Duan Yutong!

Ahem, this little princess, sleeping well, how could she get into this king's bed?

Li Yu quietly glanced at Duan Yutong and found that her face was red and she was sleeping soundly.

Li Su didn't care about admiring this beautiful picture of begonia spring sleep, so he got up quietly, and then helped Duan Yutong cover the quilt and get out of the car in a hurry.

Not long after Li Yu washed up, Duan Yutong and her two maids had already gotten up.

Seeing Li Su, Duan Yutong's cheeks couldn't help but fly with two pieces of red light, and asked shyly: "Brother, what's wrong with people, why are they sleeping in your bed?" ”

Ooh!

You slept through, you ask me, how do I know?

Of course, after all, she is a little girl, and Li Su can't say it so directly.

I had to say vaguely: "Yutong, when this king woke up in the morning, he found that your quilt was not covered, so this king put his own quilt on you, that's it, cough cough." ”

Why do you sleep under your quilt when the quilt is on someone's body?

It doesn't make sense anyway.

Fortunately, Duan Yutong didn't think much about it, and bowed his head and said to Li Su, "Thank you, brother." ”

Soon, the army made a fire to cook.

After the meal was prepared, all the soldiers quickly ate and everyone boarded the steam chariot.

As early as the time of eating, Li Su had already remotely controlled the unmanned reconnaissance plane, and all the nearby terrain, including the location of the Mengzhao tribe and the encirclement of the coalition forces, were all reconnoitred.

Now, the coalition forces have built siege equipment and are preparing to attack the Mengzhao tribe.

On the side of Nanzhao, the gathering place of the tribes, it is a big city.

But this city can't be compared with the kind of city in the Tang Dynasty, and it is quite poorly built.

Although the coalition forces did not have any large siege equipment, their already rudimentary city walls seemed to have been subjected to continuous attacks in the past two days, and the walls had been broken in many places.

I'm afraid that it won't take half a day to break the city.

After seeing the situation on the battlefield, Li Su ordered his soldiers, divided into three routes, and gave the order to attack.

Soon, three thousand steam chariots, divided into three parts, quickly approached the battlefield.

This time, there is no need for Li Su to lead the way at the front, he only needs to follow the large army and command the Chinese army in the center.

At this time, Duan Yutong couldn't wait to rush to the front chariot and follow them.

In her heart, she was too worried about the safety of the tribe.

It's just that she still has something to ask for now, so she can only endure it.

Thirty miles away, it only took about ten minutes to arrive at the scene.

Hearing the rumbling sound and seeing the sudden steam convoy, both sides of the war were taken aback.

Where the hell did this team come from?

Could it be that Datang's convoy failed?

What are they here for?
