"Fire!"

For the dying counterattack of the Tubo army, ** obviously had been prepared, but listening to Xiao Sanlang's roar, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade who were waiting for the battle pulled the trigger one after another, and shot a rain of bullets like splashing water at the Tubo cavalry that rushed towards them.

"Ceasefire!"

The inner city gate is not big, and the thousands of brave people who rushed out after it rushed out desperately, but no one could get close to ** half a step, but those who dared to rush out of the city gate died tragically under the random fire of guns, but for a moment, the entire inner city gate was almost completely blocked by the corpses of people and horses, and no one dared to rush out from the inside.

Dead silence, the dead silence of a faction, in the face of such a tragic scene, whether it is the Tubo officers and soldiers who are hiding on the inner city wall and peeping, or the Tang Dynasty troops who are listed behind the officers and soldiers of the first brigade, they are all shocked by such a cruel picture and are speechless, tens of thousands of troops are speechless, and they are once again frightened by the power of the musket, only Li Xian himself is an exception, just because he knows very well that although the musket is powerful, it has many limitations, and the reason why he can achieve such a remarkable result is just because of the geographical advantage. There will definitely be no such amazing results, of course, Li Xian himself knows these things, and it is impossible to say it at this time, so he just let all the people wait there and be stunned.

"Your Highness, look, the Tibetan thieves have hung a white flag!"

After an unbearable silence, a Tibetan soldier suddenly appeared on the top of the city, waving a white flag, and the sharp-eyed soldier shouted in surprise.

"Into town!"

The enemy army has surrendered, Li Xian is happy to save a fight, and there is not much nonsense, just a wave of his hand, there is no need to give an order, the ** officers and soldiers who have been on standby for a long time immediately rushed forward, moved away the corpses that were blocking the way, and shouted into the city gate hole, but Li Xian did not attack with the army, but slowly rode his horse to the corpse of Gar Qinling, who was specially picked out, and after staring silently for a while, he resolutely twisted the horse's head and walked out of the city without looking back......

At this point, there is no Tubo army in the entire Tuyuhun territory, but Li Xian did not take advantage of the situation to enter the Tubo country, nor did he place the army in the city of Fuqi, but led his troops to slowly retreat to the shore of Qinghai Lake, leaving only 3,000 infantry troops in Wuhai City to defend it, not that Li Xian did not want to attack urgently, but he had concerns - under the repeated battles, the fatigue of the division veterans is only one aspect, and the excessive consumption of logistics is also one of the reasons, but these are not the main factors. The real reason is that Li Xian hasn't figured out whether to destroy Tubo or not.

Reason? It's very simple, just an idiom - the bird hides the bow! Li Xian has been tossing and turning happily in Hexi over the years, whether it is military or government affairs, all have made a lot of changes, these measures are seriously said to be up, there is indeed a suspicion of deviance, and the reason why it is not condemned by the imperial court is nothing more than two points, one is naturally Li Xian's control over Hexi is enough, no one dares to provoke the thorns in the states below, but the other reason is to resist the needs of Tibet, but whenever Li Xian wants to change, he writes such a clause in the notebook, for the sake of Hexi's stability, Gaozong will not have a big opinion, and the Empress Wu and the prince are not good at making a big fuss about the affairs of Hexi, but once Tubo is destroyed, the situation will be different, whether it is the prince or the Empress Wu, will not tolerate Li Xian's self-respect in Hexi, Gaozong is afraid that there will inevitably be such calculations, and if he makes do with it, it will be difficult for Li Xian to continue to stay in Hexi, and this is obviously not the result that Li Xian wants, at least at present, Li Xian does not want to leave Hexi, a base that has been controlled with great difficulty.

The solution is not nothing, one is to let the Tubo State continue to exist, or the kind of very threatening existence, in this way, Li Xian's move to support the troops of Hexi and Tuyuhun can be explained, the problem is that this war has completely wiped out more than half of the military strength of the Tubo State, as far as the current situation is concerned, Tubo is just a ripe peach, which can be picked at will, if you do not enter the army, it will be difficult to cover up the past, or it may even cause unnecessary criticism among the ministers, and the political loss is a bit big, so thereforeAs for the second method, that is to leave Hexi and directly enter the East Palace, but this method is obviously a lot more difficult than the first one, and there are many uncontrollable factors, Li Xian himself is not too optimistic about this, in case it is self-defeating, the consequences are unimaginable!

Headache, really headache, in the face of ripe fruits dare not pick easily, this kind of troublesome situation really makes Li Xian's headache tighter, plus there are a lot of trivial matters in the military and politics after the defeat of Tuyuhun, Li Xian has not been able to sleep peacefully for more than ten days in a row, and his heart has always been hesitating and wandering, no, it is another night without sleep, even if Li Xian's good body has been boiled out since childhood, it is already unbearable, dragging his feet out of the big tent, regardless of whether the image is not vivid, He stretched hard at the door of the big tent.

"Report, Your Highness, the Chin Cha has arrived outside the camp, please make it clear to Your Highness!"

Before Li Xian's waist could be stretched completely, he saw a team hurrying over, bowed, and hurriedly reported a word.

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard that the Qin mission was coming, Li Xian couldn't help but be stunned - after beating Tuyuhun, the good news was naturally handed to the court early in the morning, counting the time, this is only enough for a round trip, obviously, this Qin mission came a little strangely, at this delicate moment, Li Xian couldn't help but have a long heart, frowned and thought about it, or decided to go and see it first, then he said noncommittally, and strode towards the camp gate.

"Slave Zhang Kan see His Highness!"

As soon as Li Xian arrived at the camp gate, he saw Zhang Cambodia being accompanied by three young eunuchs talking there, and a suspicious look immediately flashed in his eyes, but he didn't say anything, just strode over, and a young eunuch dressed in the deputy chief costume who was talking to Zhang Cambodia in a whisper saw Li Xian coming, and immediately rushed forward and saluted very respectfully.

"My father-in-law is polite."

Li Xian saw that the eunuch surnamed Zhang was very angry, and he should be the deputy director who had just been mentioned, but without knowing the roots, he didn't say much to greet, but just raised his hand in a proper manner and signaled him to be flat.

"His Royal Highness's great victory over Tibet, his prestige is famous all over the world, and the whole world celebrates, His Majesty is deeply pleased, and specially ordered the slaves and maids to come to preach the decree to congratulate, and also ask His Royal Highness to accept the decree first."

Although Zhang Kan had never seen Li Xian, he had never heard of Li Xian's power in the past, and he didn't dare to stand up to Li Xian in front of him, bowed down, and asked for a word with a smile on his face.

"Father-in-law Zhang, please wait, Xiao Wang will let people prepare incense cases and other things, and let Xiao Wang change his clothes and bathe and then come to listen to the hadith."

Now that the edict has arrived, it is naturally impossible not to accept it, but Li Xian has a little more heart, which makes a secret look at Zhang Cambodia, but his mouth is extremely kind.

"Your Highness, please take care of yourself, slaves and maids are waiting here."

Naturally, it is not negligent to receive the order, although it is in front of the army at this time, there is no need to be so cumbersome, and it is a great deal to obey it, but Li Xian wants to be grand, Zhang Kan naturally does not dare to say a word, so he can only reply with a smile on his face.

"I'm tired."

Li Xian didn't talk any more nonsense, turned around and strode into the camp, and went straight back to the big tent of the Chinese army.

"See Your Highness."

Zhang Cambodia has always been meticulous, and when he saw that Li Xian was already sitting in front of the copywriter, he immediately took a few steps, rushed forward, and made a big salute respectfully.

"No need to be polite, how did the gentleman come here, isn't there something strange about this edict?"

Li Xian did not take Zhang Khan with him on this expedition, but entrusted all the affairs of Hexi to him, even if the war had been won, the government affairs of Tuyuhun did not bother Zhang Khan Zhi, but made Shanzhou Thorn Shi Zhuang Mingyi take over, in order to ensure the stability of the rear, at this time saw that Zhang Khan Zhi actually left Hexi affairs to accompany Qin to come, how could Li Xian not be suspicious.

"Well, it's strange, as far as Your Highness is concerned, maybe it's a great thing!"

Zhang Cambodia smiled slightly, and it was extremely rare to sell Guanzi.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

After getting along with Zhang Cambodia for many years, Li Xianzi knew Zhang Cambodia's temperament, if it wasn't for the fact that there was really a great joy, this old man would not have such a relaxed look, and the curiosity in his heart immediately rose, so he looked at Zhang Cambodia suspiciously, and asked with a light smile.

"Your Royal Highness's Qinggong is hopeful, isn't it a happy event?"

Zhang Cambodia blinked, as if teasing, and asked rhetorically as if serious.

"Qing Gong? Something happened to the prince? Won't it? How can it be so fast? Is this unlikely? ”

Li Xian is still thinking about how to deal with it once he leaves Hexi these days, and winning the position of the East Palace is naturally one of the key points of Li Xian's consideration, but the certainty is really not high, Li Xian does not dare to try it easily, at this time, as soon as he heard Zhang Cambodia say this, Li Xian's heart jumped a few times, Huo Ran got up, his face widened in disbelief, and a series of questions burst out in doubt.

"Your Highness, please sit in peace."

Zhang Cambodia did not answer Li Xian's question immediately, but strode to the front of a few sons, sat cross-legged opposite Li Xian, smiled and waved his hand, and motioned for Li Xian to sit down and said.

"Hoo ......"

Li Xian let out a sigh of relief, forced himself to suppress all the anxiety in his heart, and slowly sat back in his place, but did not ask again, but looked at Zhang Cambodia with a blank look, waiting for him to give an exact explanation......
