In the first year of Longshuo (661 AD), the third day of the tenth month of winter, three o'clock in the afternoon.

The eastern capital of Luoyang Ziwei City, the southwest of the Lijing Gate, the office of the imperial court, the imperial history platform is impressively listed. The square square wall is enclosed, and in the southwest of the Supervision History Institute, there are rows of gloomy houses, which is the Imperial History Terrace Prison. The cell to its left is where high-ranking prisoners are housed. Only those who have more than three official positions are eligible to move in, and it is known as the Big Fish Area.

The two guards at the gate, listening to the laughter of the prison area, their scalps tingled. General Wu was hysterical, laughing wildly for nearly half an hour, why was he so happy. At this moment, inside the district gate, the inmates are unbearable. Liu Xianli blocked his ears, Xue Rengui frowned, and Sun Renshi rolled his eyes.

After another two minutes, Sun Renshi couldn't stand it anymore, and roared in his voice: "My old brother, please be quiet." If we continue to laugh like this, we will either laugh crazy ourselves, or we will be crazy. The expansion of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, what does it have to do with you, as for being so excited? ”

The wild laughter stopped abruptly, the judge let go of his hands, and mocked in a strange yin and yang manner: "The attachment of the Western Turks is the credit of Dingfang, you are just a follower, don't put gold on your face." If you want to talk about national heroes, it is also Su Dingfang, who is not used to you. ”

Wu Kang scoffed, Xia Worm can't talk about ice, I'm too lazy to take care of you. Just today, Cheng Gongyu in the imperial history sent a lot of official documents, all of which were major events in the imperial court. Among them, Anzai's expansion made him climax instantly, and his hands danced.

In mid-June of this year, the imperial court set up a feudal capital in 16 countries, including Tocharo, Bada and Huoxun, and Persia. There are a total of 76 prefectures, 110 counties, and 126 military offices, which are under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Tocharian has a vast territory, stretching from the Pamir Plateau in the east, bordering Persia in the west, southern Uzbekistan in the north, and the snowy mountains of Afghanistan in the south. The country of fire seeks to encompass the Aral Sea, the territory of Kazakhstan, and Tocharian to the north and south.

The Han Dynasty extended its territory to the Aral Sea and Iran, and no one before or after it. This is the glory of the Tang Dynasty and the glory of Wukang, two bloody battles against the Turks, and only then did they have today's territory. Before the rebellion in Mobei was quelled three months, Yan Ran was still in the palace. To the north is the Yenisei River, which encompasses Lake Baikal and the whole of Outer Mongolia.

The east has just destroyed Baekje, and the south is bordered by Linyi, and at this moment the territory of the Tang Dynasty is the largest in China. This is the largest territory of the Han people, and when Goguryeo is defeated, life will be perfect. Wu Kang secretly thought: to be able to participate in it, it is in vain to travel through the journey; Based on the territory alone, Li Jiu can be called the emperor.

The cellmate mocked again, and Rengui sighed: "My virtuous brother, don't be heartless, we are all in prison, don't be idle." Life in prison is too hard, hard cooking cakes and rotten vegetables, which can be said to be an inhuman life. You save some snacks, think about it carefully, how to get rid of the crime? ”

Renshi also complained: "These imperial court histories, all of them are bastards, and they treat us harshly. The rice I gave yesterday had three rice worms and two gravel grains, and I almost lost my teeth. My changed brother, quickly complain to the queen and let my sister save her life. ”

Just as he was about to reply, he listened to the cold words and ridicule, Liu Xianli said disdainfully: "Queen Wu doesn't care about you, don't brag about it in the future." For a whole month, he did not come to visit the prison or deliver food. According to the old man's humble opinion, the saint has moved his true character, and we are more auspicious than lucky. ”

Wu Kang is also very helpless, Li Jiu is hard-hearted, and he has to clean us up. Family members are not allowed to visit the prison, Mei Niang is forbidden to visit, and only pig food is given for each meal. Actually, then again, I'm the one who is causing you a problem. If I hadn't been involved, with Li Jiu's style, I wouldn't have sent you to prison.

Its fundamental purpose is to show sharp minions, warn the relatives of the martial family, and give me peace and self-control. Thinking of this, he scoffed and said indifferently: "Let's fight on the battlefield, eat moldy wheat rice, drink animal blood, and the food here is very good." The next time I eat rice worms, I'll add all the food, it's rich in protein. ”

The three of them shut up at the same time, the atmosphere gradually depressed, I don't know how long it took, Liu Xianli opened his mouth and said: "What you said, the old man has not eaten it, and the two generals Sun Xue probably haven't eaten it either." Let's not talk about this, the culprit Rentai has no class teacher at the moment, and it is estimated that something big has happened. ”

The lice on the bald man's head, Zheng Rentai, who killed a thousand knives, definitely made a big deal, otherwise he would have come as a companion earlier. Could it be that bad luck struck, he was in the Mongolian plateau, and encountered a heavy snowstorm. If that's the case, the picture is simply too beautiful, Wu Kang doesn't dare to think about it.

Rengui suddenly sighed, gritted his teeth and said: "I have a fellow villager who is also the superintendent of the imperial history, and he once told me that the food in Taiwan Prison is not bad. Especially in the big fish area, there is meat in every meal, and we are targeted. Doctor Yushi, who has offended, why are you so harsh? ”

The cellmates fell into deep thought, shaking their heads and saying nothing, indicating that they were not familiar with him. Wu Kang couldn't help frowning, that day of the interrogation in Taiwan, the Germans were yin and yang, and they seemed to be full of hostility. When inspecting the governor of Yuezhou, he has never been involved in the affairs of Yuezhou, so why did he offend him?

At this time, the outer door opened, and Qianniu Guard poured in to guard the four prison doors. Five palace maids, with tools in their hands, quickly cleaned up. The cellmate was dumbfounded, Wu Kang recognized Baliang, and immediately became complacent, she was Mei Niang's confidant.

The palace people dispersed the smoke and dust, and the main one came, and the two royal historians followed respectfully behind them. Wu Kang got up slowly, looking at the familiar face, feeling full of style. Baby fat is more obvious, graceful and luxurious, and there is no doubt about it.

The sister stared affectionately, Mei Niang rolled her eyes, pouted mischievously, and gloated. Wu Kang sneered, thirty-seven women, don't pretend to be tender anymore. You have to pay attention to the impact, if it is discovered, it will damage the image of the queen.

Wu Mei waved her hand, and the eunuch Li Deguan made a male duck sound: "Imperial Doctor Yang Gong, impeach General Zheng." The slaughter has been surrendered, and the captives have fled, and the soldiers have not been appeased, and the food has not been counted. Cover the bones from the wilderness, and abandon the equipment. This was the greatest defeat since the beginning of the pilgrimage. ”

Everyone was stunned, the biggest defeat of the founding of the country, to what extent. Mei Niang coughed lightly and added lightly: "Ten thousand four cavalry, travel lightly, chase to the Xian'e River, and don't see the Tiele people." On the way back, the leader encountered a snowstorm, and the guards suffered heavy casualties. ”

The atmosphere was instantly depressed, and Xue Rengui's three cellmates focused their eyes at the same time. Wu Kang laughed miserably, the so-called Xian'e River, also known as the Xiancao River, the Selenge River of later generations. The northernmost part of Mongolia enters the territory of Russia and empties into Lake Baikal.

A blizzard is a snowstorm in which the snow is swept up by a strong wind and runs along with the strong winds. People are in it, like blind people, not knowing whether it is snowing or not. When snow encounters obstacles, it accumulates in large quantities and forms a real snow disaster. The world is white, there is no food and grass, how can people and horses live?

The more I thought about it, the more my throat became blocked, the blue tendons on my forehead burst out, and a voice squeezed out between my teeth: "I told him a long time ago that the weather in Mobei is bad and he can't march in autumn." But he just didn't listen, listened to the rumors of the scouts, and made meritorious deeds, resulting in heavy casualties, is he a fool? ”

Later generations cursed in tongues, and everyone did not know why, and they knew that it was not a good word. Rengui sighed, Renshi's face was full of disdain, Zheng Rentai should be scolded. Wu Mei glared at Wu Kang, paid attention to my words, and then added Wen Yan: "The army is short of food, the men and horses are freezing and starving to death, and there are 14,000 cavalry, and only 800 people have returned." ”

The meaning is self-evident, and the inmates are in a heavy mood. All the horses were starved to death, and the people were frozen to death, and the picture was horrific. Of the 14,000 cavalry, only 800 returned, which was still a non-battle attrition. In the coming year, the snow melted, and more than 10,000 divine weapons all fell into the hands of the enemy. The bones cover the wilderness, abandon the armor, and live up to the name.

The biggest defeat of the founding of the country, without exaggeration, Jung In-tae is a pig. Such an incompetent person, why didn't he freeze to death, why didn't he come yet? The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I wanted to scold again, and when I received Mei Niang's eye knife, I closed my mouth.

Lee Chunfeng's prophecy came true, and for Jung In-tae, this was a great doom. Almost all the troops were wiped out, and they were almost buried in the snow, although they escaped death, the court still had to pursue them. Suddenly thinking of something, he looked up at his fellow inmates, his eyes full of gratitude.

If it weren't for you, Rentai would have overwhelmed people with power, and I would have followed the Northern Expedition. In the face of ice and snow, I have nothing to do, and in front of nature, I am like an ant. If you were there and there was a scarcity of food, I couldn't guarantee that I would be on the survivor list.

The inmates knew this, calmly accepted the gratitude, and gave them comforting looks. Wu Kang wiped the cold sweat, and when he was released from prison, he would definitely bring heavy gifts and visit them separately. Especially Li Chunfeng, who walks with the courtesy and is at peace with what he encounters, if he doesn't give advice, I'm still in the dark.

Mei Niang took out a silk handkerchief and wiped a cold sweat for Wu Kang, and Li Deguan continued: "Imperial Doctor Yang Gong, impeach General Lushan Daoxue, General Precipitation Daosun, Tiele Dao Liu Duhu, and General Shi Wu, the marching commander. In prison, lewdness and greed, although the income, do not make up for the loss, please pay the legal department to push the department. ”

Roughly speaking, these four pieces of garbage looted and killed 100,000 prisoners of war. Accept bribes along the way, capture Tiele women, and enrich their harem. The loot captured does not compensate for the losses. Sent to a military court, a three-division trial, according to the military law for a crime.

What he said was the truth, Wu Kang was ashamed and didn't dare to raise his eyes and look directly. Mei Niang snorted coldly and said lightly: "The sage remembered the old feelings, and specially issued an edict, Wu Xue, Sun Liu and other generals, all the merits and demerits were offset. How to deal with Rentai, officials above the fourth grade, will be discussed in the Shun and Japanese courts. ”

Yuan Gongyu instructed the jailers to take action and open all the prison doors. Wu Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and as expected, the matter was over. The pit of 130,000 is not a big sin in the eyes of the imperial court. It is estimated that in Li Jiu's eyes, the so-called humanitarianism is not a fart at all.

Thinking of Zheng Rentai again, he gritted his teeth again. Mobei was defeated and returned, and after coming back for at least five days, Yushitai's impeachment was not punished. It is estimated that Li Jiu is reluctant, after all, Zheng Lao rushed to the street, participated in the Xuanwumen coup, and was a supporter of Li Er.

It is estimated that the black pot will be thrown on the climate again, and the sky will rain heavy snow, and manpower cannot control it. At this moment, my heart is like a cat's claw, and in the film and television dramas of my previous life, I have seen the scene of Blizzard. Especially in the grasslands, where the snow disaster area is more extensive, there is no food, and the war horses are definitely eaten.

The brain turned quickly, the food consumption was calculated, and after the war horse was eaten, it could only march on foot. Hundreds of miles away, there is absolutely not enough horse meat, and they have to starve. Without food replenishment, the soldiers would starve to death, and under normal circumstances, the entire army would be wiped out. Eight hundred survivors, how did they survive?

Suddenly, his eyes widened, thinking of that kind of picture, and he instantly covered his stomach and retched. Mei Niang's eyebrows frowned, and when she saw his appearance, she even covered her mouth and vomited. The cell was chaotic in an instant, and all the palace people surrounded it. Wu Kang didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately stepped forward to help, patted his back with his right hand, and motioned for the palace people to disperse.

The vomiting continued, and Baliang took out the hawthorn and handed it to Wu Kang. Carefully fed, the two hawthorns went down, and Mei Niang slowly stood up. Rubbing his lower abdomen with both hands, he kept swallowing saliva, suppressing the desire to vomit, and his figure-eight eyebrows wrinkled into a straight line.

It feels very abnormal, a lot like a woman's morning sickness, is there a ball in her stomach? searched the memory in his mind, and soon smiled dumbly, and vowed to pat his chest: "Congratulations to my sister, and there will be a pearl in my belly." I'm 100% sure that he will be a prince and will come into the world in June next year. ”

The cell was silent, and the eight taels immediately said hello, and all the palace people agreed. Mei Niang hesitated slightly, revealing maternal warmth. With his left hand, he stroked his lower abdomen and gave his brother a white eye: "I borrow your auspicious words, I hope it is the prince, it is best to be born in the summer, and I will not be infected with the wind and cold." Look at your words, can you not predict the prophet? ”

Absolutely unpredictable prophet, when the child is born, he will be named Li Xulun, which is Ruizong Li Dan. His son Tang Xuanzong will kill your daughter in the future, and he will be Princess Taiping. Wu Kang was full of confidence, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly ordered Baliang: "Take the queen away quickly, the environment here is too bad." ”

Mei Niang waved her hand to stop it, Gongyu moved a chair, and Wu Kang sat down with her. The three pit fathers and cellmates came side by side to greet the salute, and their words were grateful. They also understand that the name of the main crime has not been determined, and it must be the queen who intercedes if the accomplice is released first.

Mei Niang signaled for exemption, and even told the battle report: "On the Jiaxu Day of August, the governor of Pyongyang Province, Su Dingfang was in the Hunjiang River and broke the Goguryeo thief army. Fighting successively all the way, the troops came to the city of Pyongyang, waiting for the northern front to join forces and jointly attack Pyongyang. ”

Everyone listened attentively, Wu Kang's blood was boiling, and the teacher was really fierce. I really want to have wings and participate in the storming of Pyongyang. The Hungang River, which runs across Pyongyang, is the symbol of North Korea. I remember that in my previous life, I traveled with Lingyue, boated on the Datong River, and remembered Jin Dafat.

Soon fell into contemplation, and worry replaced excitement. The city of Pyongyang is strong and strong, and it is the capital of Goguryeo. The Dingfang will attack by water, and the navy will cross the Yellow Sea, and the number of troops will not be too many. It is necessary to wait for the northern front, after the two armies meet, before they have the strength to attack the city.

Mei Niang continued: "The progress of the northern front is slow, and the minister Yuan Gai Suwen sent his son Quan boy to lead tens of thousands of elite soldiers to defend the Yalu waterfront. The guards were unable to cross the water and were in a stalemate until the end of September, when the weather began to be bitterly cold. The Yalu water was frozen, and the chief manager Qi Bi He Li led the army to step on the ice and meet the thieves. ”

Speaking of this, he stopped talking, and his eyes locked on Kang Lang, his eyes were mischievous. The inmate's face was strange, and each of them did not squint, and pricked up his ears to listen. Wu Kang's heart is like a cat's claw, sister, you are too much, this is a military matter, don't flirt. What the hell is the situation of the battle, don't whet people's appetites.

After more than two minutes, Zhu Li finally opened lightly: "Goguryeo was defeated, our army pursued for dozens of miles, and more than 30,000 people were beheaded. The rest of the troops surrendered, and the Izumi boys were spared. Chebi took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the army won successive battles, and surrounded Pyongyang with Dingfang. ”

Wu Kang roared angrily, with a big fist of sandbags, and a tiger and a tiger dancing. The grimace quickly became engorged, and the facial features began to distort. The inmates were not far behind, all of them were flushed, and if the queen was not there, they would definitely look up and laugh wildly. After decades, I finally got my wish, and Goguryeo went to hell.

However, at this moment, a large basin of cold water was splashed, and Mei Niang's pretty face turned ice: "It's a pity that half a month ago, Tiele rebelled again, and tens of thousands of barbarians went south to harass the Hexi Corridor. After deliberation, the center summoned the Qibi class master and appointed Tiele as the ambassador to pacify him. Hongluqing Xiao Siye, the head of the Xiancao march, jointly pacified Tiele. ”

Wu Kang was struck by lightning, and his whole person was petrified. Tiele really rebelled, and the imperial court also changed its policy, adopted the Huairou strategy, and sent Qi Bi He Li to pacify. He was born in the Chebi clan and was the most suitable candidate, and the north and south surrounded Pyongyang and declared stillborn.

A chain reaction appeared, Goguryeo escaped, and Jung In-tae should die. Rengui was dumbfounded, the judgment was unbelievable, and the benevolent teacher was full of worship. In the past, Wu Kang's various speculations were all fulfilled at this moment. Could it be that the martial arts can really be unpredictable prophets, and they can really be regarded as omissions.

However, in less than five seconds, the expressions on their faces were replaced by fear. What was said on the day of the change, if it was spread in the court, what would be the impact? Fortunately, the imperial court did not know that Tiele rebelled again, and the root cause was that he was captured in the Tianshan Pit.

I hope that the rhetoric of that day will never be disseminated. After a long silence, Liu Xianli spoke first: "My woman has left the cabinet, but she has two nieces who are still in infancy. If you have children, you will come to visit at that time, and you and I will become in-laws. ”

Sun Renshi called a halt and said: "On the way out in the past, I decided with Change that if Mrs. Chu was happy, whether it was a man or a woman, she would marry the Sun family. If you come in advance and come later, Liu Gong should not intervene. ”

The judge responded immediately, and Rengui also wanted to interject, but suddenly heard a cold snort, and the argument stopped immediately. Mei Niang raised her head slightly, anger flashed in her eyes, and she commanded lukewarmly: "You are in prison, your family members are anxious, get out of danger safely at this moment, and go home for reunion." ”

The three of them did not dare to say more, saluted respectfully, and left the prison area quickly. Wu Kang hehehehe Three hooligans and scoundrels, it's not that we have an iron relationship, Mei Niang will give you small shoes.

Leaving the Yushitai, Wu Kang took her in his arms and strolled through Ziwei City. I don't know how long it took, Mei Niang sighed: "No heirs is not a home, every time I think of Kang Lang, my heart is like a knife." When the year passes, gather the elders of the state clan and pass on the Min Zhi to you. ”

You can pull it, he can anger me, it's not as good as Wu Chenghe. Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Brother Yuanqing is gone, leaving the sister-in-law and the heir, who depend on each other in Longzhou." Bring them in, I'll raise them to adulthood, and it doesn't matter if I succeed or not. ”

Mei Niang stopped, looked at Wu Kang quietly, and sighed helplessly for a long time: "I know how good you are to me." Pick up Wu Chenghei, my sister can't do it, and it will make my mother sad. You are secretly helping, and my mother already knows and has a lot of criticism for you. ”

Wu Kang laughed dryly, Rongguo's wife Yang is like a snake and scorpion. The two continued to walk, and Mei Niang confided in her heart: "In my sister's heart, Kang Lang and my mother are the most important. My mother is an elder and has suffered a lot, and Kang Lang promised me not to alienate her. ”

Alienation can't be talked about, filial piety is impossible, let's get by. Mei Niang sighed again, and said softly: "You don't like Minzhi, I don't force it, and my mother doesn't agree." Zheng Rentai wants to see you, don't give him a good face. I will let him know that there is a price to be paid for calculating my Kang Lang..."
