In August, after the Uighurs had completely withdrawn their troops, Agati also led a caravan of several thousand men to the junction of the Tien Shan, which was now the dead city of Xizhou.

Starting from Yumen Pass, Wu Yueya rode a big white tiger, walking under the sunset, the way back was not easy, at this time she was holding a letter converted by a code, after reading silently, she remembered a shy and cute little face, she didn't like to talk, but a very kind sister.

"Little lady, the sergeant just caught a few wild pheasants and roasted them to eat at night, but the little lady looks preoccupied!" Chu Er rode a horse, holding a branch hanging a small bundle of straw in her hand, hanging the straw in front of the horse, and observed the little lady's cute eyes, so she asked.

Wu Yueya came back to her senses, looked up at the clouds that were being burned in the sky, and sighed, "I'm thinking about what I once said, I want to lead the thousands of troops of the Tang Dynasty to pick her up, and now ten years have passed, she has sent letters, although there have been correspondence exchanges, there are only a few letters in the past ten years, she has always been a child who is not good at words, and she has always been my sister!" ”

"Little lady, let's be strong now, let's welcome them back, Chu'er is the vanguard, kill them so that they lose their armor, what do you think, little lady?" Chu'er said with a grin, shaking the small trunk of the tree tied with grass, so that the horse couldn't eat it with his eyes.

"Okay, the Khitan king rebelled, and they should be taught a lesson, before that, they still need to go back to Chang'an, I heard that Minzhou and the Tubo people are at war, both sides have not pleased, there are still many things to deal with, and the stepmother is sick, I can't rest assured!"

Chu Er stopped teasing the war horse under the seat, sent the small bundle of straw to the horse's mouth, looked up at the little lady dressed in red, and wiped the hot sweat on her forehead due to the hurry, "Little lady, she will be fine, concubine, we have the most powerful doctor, and we will definitely be able to cure my stepmother's condition!" ”

"Hmm!"

Wu Yueya smiled and nodded in response, patted Da Bai's head lightly, and continued to hurry forward.

At night, with a bonfire, a group of tens of thousands of soldiers spent the night here, Wu Yueya and Chu'er roasted pheasants together, they didn't live in the wilderness for a long time, and they still miss the days of wandering.

went all the way, dozens of days later, left the Qilian Mountains, traveled to Ganzhou for a period of supplies, and when he returned to Liangzhou, Wu Yueya received a letter from Taibai complaining, saying that there were too many things to be busy, and asked the imperial historian Feng Ziyue to help deal with it, and Wu Yueya was naturally accurate.

........

Minzhou, Du Fu looked at the trebuchets arranged below, and felt quite unhappy, according to the city, there were a lot of casualties, and the Tubo people went straight out of Tuyuhun, and the 500,000 army pressed the border, even if he had seen countless battles, but the pressure was still quite great.

For the sake of the Tang Dynasty and Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is his unshirkable choice to take it in, go down the city, discuss with An Jiaxin, and build some wooden sheds to resist the attack of flying stones, and at the same time use artillery to bombard those trebuchets.

The two sides went back and forth, and the stones flew in a burst, smashing the city wall and bursting all kinds of sand, and the artillery of the city wall was not jealous, and the trebuchet was completely destroyed after a round of stone throwing.

The battle was fought for more than a month, the black armor army suffered heavy casualties, 150,000 defenders were stunned and killed more than 50,000 in battle, and the same was true for the Tubo people, who suffered heavy casualties in the continuous siege of the city, although their soldiers were not afraid of death, set up ladders, and used siege vehicles to smash the city gates, but with little success.

At this time, the city wall of Minzhou was already bloodstained and tattered, and there was no intact place under the city, either there were corpses lying down, or there were broken halberds and arrows.

Minzhou City is now completely in the heavy siege of the Tubo people, overlooking down, only to see the huge city surrounded by black pressure Tubo flags, but the Tubo people are attacking the city on all sides, and they can't take this city for a long time.

Their generals Ramakan and Gilly Job were also worried about this, and they didn't think that 500,000 people would besiege a small city, and they would fight for a month.

After several discussions, it was decided to divide the troops to attack the three states behind Minzhou, but they were only trapped and did not attack, wanting to exhaust the other party's grain and grass.

.........

In the Mid-Autumn Festival in September, Wu Yueya, who had been running all the way, returned to Chang'an, and it usually seems that now Wu Yueya is exposed to the wind and sun, and her complexion is also close to bronze, and the whole person's face is more spiritual.

After Wu Yueya returned, she directly found Taibai, and found Taibai who was drinking and composing poems in the Journey to the West restaurant, picked up the wine bowl on the table, brought herself a bowl of ale wine, drank it quickly, and hurriedly asked, "Taibai, how is the situation of the stepmother?" ”

Li Bai was slightly drunk, and he was not restrained when he saw the princess coming, he just brushed his sleeves and said casually, "I heard the little girl of the Fu family say, I just contracted some minor illnesses and needed to recuperate. ”

In the face of boasting, Wu Yueya was not polite, but asked slightly, "Taibai is now considered a right minister, isn't it appropriate to drink here, is it still early in this weather?" ”

"Hmm..."Taibai stroked his beard and said uninhibitedly, "Today came the news, Du Fu won a battle in Minzhou, burned the grain and grass camp of the Tubo people, forced the Tubo people to withdraw to Tuyuhun, and was busy raising a glass to celebrate when he was happy, but Taibai was lax today, he should be punished, Taibai drank this altar first!" ”

Wu Yueya shook her head, and said in her heart that you are a bad old man, you know that Her Royal Highness is back, anyway, the affairs of Chang'an should be approved by her, it is naturally good to be able to take a vacation secretly, and if she catches him lazy, she will say a few words at will, but I didn't expect Taibai to rely on wine, "Whatever you want, I heard that Feng Ziyue is running around the city all day long, and he is very busy!" ”

Taibai smiled, then shook his sleeves, and pretended to be serious, "The new official position should be familiar... Belch... The business process of His Highness! ”

Wu Yueya poured another bowl of ale wine, drank it and left, went to Xingqing Palace, starting from the West Market, all the way across Chang'an, every time passing through a lively and prosperous place, you have to stop for a while, in the wilderness border city to see only the dilapidated bricks and tiles and the vertical barnyard grass, and here, the population has exceeded 1.2 million, prosperous, the people are fine, suddenly feel that the blood of those soldiers has not been shed in vain, it is a correct choice to defend Chang'an.

When I came to Xingqing Palace, I saw a veteran who was guarding the palace gate, Wu Yueya stopped the car and asked the veteran who saluted him, "How many years have you been guarding the city gate?" ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, the villain has been guarding this city gate for forty years, and this year is sixty and two, thanks to His Royal Highness's concern, the old child is deeply honored!" The veteran responded, seeming a little moved.

Wu Yueya looked up at the three big characters of 'Xingqing Palace' on the stone plaque that were slightly peeled off, and then looked at the veteran, sighing that the person is old, the paint is not old, "His Royal Highness allows you to return home, reward you with three big oxen, thirty acres of land, and live a peaceful life, I will find another person to garrison here!" ”

When the veteran heard this, he was stunned at first, and touched the spear in his hand with some reluctance, and he couldn't thank him.

Wu Yueya didn't say anything more, asked the other party's name, and asked him to inform the veterans in the previous armament, the same reward, and ordered them to unload their armor and return to the field, and take their children and grandchildren to go.

Came to Xingqing Palace, said a few words to the eunuchs, and came to the mother-in-law's bedroom, the weather was hot at this time, but the stone attic of Xingqing Palace was very cool, and Wu Yueya, who had taken off her armor, was a little thin in plain clothes, after all, she had been fighting on the march for a long time.

When I came to the dormitory, I saw my stepmother who was sitting on the lazy chair, my heart was slightly sweet, and I walked up and shouted, "Mother! ”

As soon as the words came out, I blushed a little, well, I felt warm and ashamed in my heart.

The face is no longer as beautiful as before, some small fat has appeared on the cheeks, and the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes are quite heavy, but Yang Yuhuan is still like a peony blooming when he smiles, revealing no longer a delicate posture, but a gentle rhythm.

"Tsukiaya?!"

There was surprise hidden in his voice, he stood up, held the hand of the righteous girl, looked up and down carefully, Yuhuan showed a pitying expression, "Yueya, you are running around, and your body has lost a lot of weight!" ”

"It's okay, it's my mother, is my condition better?"

"Okay, the little girl of the Fu family is amazing, I looked at it and asked about it, and after a while, I directly diagnosed the root of the disease, and it was quickly cured!"

Hearing her stepmother's brisk and lively appearance, Wu Yueya also smiled contentedly, and began to chat with her stepmother about topics in various places, and talked a lot about the war, and also chatted with her stepmother about Die'er, who was married to Khitan at the beginning, and was ready to pick her up.

.........

Outside the city of Yanjun, the two people in disguise fled to the direction of Yingzhou under the help of the guys in the restaurant.
