On February 22 of the lunar calendar of the third year of the Tang Dynasty, Ashina Gu Dulu tentatively launched an attack and sent troops to attack Changping.

Wu Zetian ordered Hei Zhi Chang Zhi to lead the army to attack, and Ashina Gu Dulu saw this and had no choice but to retreat.

In the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Ashina Gu Dulu sent troops again, and the target of this attack was the Shuozhou area in Hedong, but the Turkic army was defeated again by Heiya Changzhi in Huanghuadui, and Ashina Gu Dulu had to lead his troops to retreat to the north of the moraine in order to avoid the attack.

At that time, Zhonglang, the doorman of the right prison of the Tang Dynasty, would make sure that the treasure wall was sick and the black teeth were often fought, so he asked to chase the Turks.

Wu Zetianxia ordered him to discuss with Heiya Chang and support each other.

However, if Baobi wanted to monopolize the military merits, he did not wait for the consent of Heizhi Changzhi, that is, he led 13,000 elite soldiers to go first, and went out of the fortress for more than 1,000 kilometers to attack the Turks.

In October of the lunar calendar of the same year, he caught up with Gu Dulu.

At this time, Ashina Gu Dulu and others did not know that the Tang army would arrive, and they were not guarded.

After learning of the situation, not only did he not attack immediately, but instead held his own strong army and sent someone to inform Ashina Gu Dulu.

Ashina Gu Dulu heard that he was immediately on guard.

After the battle between the two sides, because the Tang army came from afar, and the Turks were elite soldiers and horses, and they had made preparations for battle in advance, they quickly defeated the Tang army and annihilated it.

The defeat in this battle made Wu Zetian angry, not only killed Baobi, but also renamed Ashina Gu Dulu as "Bu Zhu Lu".

Since he established himself as the Later Turkic Khan, Ashina Gu Dulu led his army to the east and west, and went on many expeditions.

According to the Turkic "Que Secret Service Tablet", he successively attacked the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, with nine surnames Tiele, thirty surnames of Tatar, Turkic, Xi, etc., and went on a total of 47 expeditions, of which 20 personally participated in the battles, laying the foundation of the Later Turkic Khanate.

When summing up Ashina's combat experience, it is not difficult to find that Ashina Bone Dulu is a military commander who is very good at capturing fighters.

He took advantage of Wu Zetian's mastery of government, the political turmoil, and the Tang Army's division of troops to fight, and his inability to carry out large-scale and effective counterattacks, he repeatedly grasped favorable fighter opportunities, gave full play to the advantages of cavalry's rapid mobility, and frequently attacked and plundered various parts of the north, and always grasped the initiative on the battlefield in the course of the war, which brought great trouble to Wu Zetian's regime.

Although the Tang Dynasty had famous generals such as Heiya Changzhi and Cheng Wuting at that time, and achieved some victories, it could not change the strategic situation of being passively beaten.

His son Ashina Mojianlian, younger brothers Ashina Mosi, and Ashid Yuanzhen are all his assistants.

Although Ashina Gu Dulu was defeated twice, his courageous rebellion greatly fueled the ambitions of the Turkic tribes, and rebellions swarmed.

Soon, Turkic soldiers and horses successively invaded the northern frontier towns of Yuanzhou Governor's Mansion and Shuozhou General's Mansion.

Feng Zicong, the head of the Dingxiangdao march stationed at the border pass, put down the rebellion in the north and the northwest of Shuozhou general Gao Cheng, and lost three battles and three defeats, and the Tang army died seven or eight out of ten.

The situation at the northwestern border pass was the worst, and many rural prefectures and counties in Wonju and Gyeongju were slaughtered and burned to the city, and the corpses were all over the wilderness and the city was empty.

After the Northern Expedition of the Heavenly Khan Li Shimin pacified the Turkic Khanate, the Turkic steppe tribes that had been silent for nearly half a century were raging and stubborn, and there was no inch of peace in the northern frontier of the Tang Dynasty.

Hundreds of thousands of refugees fled from the north, and the displaced people in the northwest and Hebei were devastated, the soldiers were in chaos, the cities were destroyed, and the mountain villas were empty and the fields were barren.

The New Wu Zhou Empire, which was peaceful in the four seas, was filled with smoke overnight, and the world shook and the people were terrified!

......

Li Xingzhou has been on the battlefield, although it is not a cold weapon battlefield, but the essence of war is the same.

In the words of the ancient soldiers, those who know soldiers are not warlike.

War means hardship, cruelty, death and destruction.

It's not that people who haven't been on the battlefield imagine being surrounded by iron-blooded romance.

The hot-blooded youth is full of unknown fears and ideal hopes for the battlefield.

It's like a young eagle about to spread its wings facing the sky that it has been looking up.

They knew that there would be wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the sky, but they still couldn't suppress their ambition to attack the sky.

After all, he will jump out of the warm nest to avoid the wind and rain without hesitation, spread his wings, and soar into the sky.

This is also the precious thing about bloody men!

......

The whole world was furious.

And it was late at night.

Princess Taiping put on her beloved Mingguang armor today and danced a dance for Li Xingzhou.

Princess Taiping said, apart from my father and mother, you are the first person to let me dance.

The title of the song is "Seven Virtues", also known as "King Qin's Breaking Array Music".

Originally, this was a martial song and dance composed by Emperor Taizong, which was the music of the court and the dance of the court.

It is usually performed by more than 120 sergeants.

But Princess Taiping brought with her eighteen stunning maiko that she had personally selected.

The dance of this majestic martial arts song is interpreted with a unique charm.

On the dance floor, Princess Taiping wore a bright light battle armor, and the other eighteen dancers dressed as soldiers wore leather armor and held swords and shields.

The stars and the moon take Princess Taiping as the "main general".

The scene is like the triumphant return of the main general, the spring breeze, the soldiers are excited and proud.

Princess Taiping was already slender and feminine, wearing armor, a hood, and a cloak, adding a heroic posture.

On the dance floor, she is elegant, agile and charming, and in the passionate and majestic music.

She is the proud daughter of the sky and the aura fairy who is worshiped by thousands of people.

The femininity and the fierceness of the sword are perfectly integrated in her captivating appearance and charming figure.

Beautiful, overwhelming.

As soon as the song ended, Li Xingzhou stood up and applauded loudly.

Princess Taiping seems to have reveled in the breathtaking music and mesmerizing dance.

Hearing the applause, she rushed to Li Xingzhou and threw herself into his arms, kissing Li Xingzhou's lips fiercely.

"Brother Yan, I love you!"

"In this life, in this life, I only want to dance for you!"

This was the first time Li Xingzhou heard Princess Taiping and said these three words to him.

For many years, Li Xingzhou has never heard these three words again.

Li Xingzhou hugged her tightly, kissed, and lingered.

The eighteen maikos, musicians, eunuchs, palace maids and others quietly retreated, and the gate was closed.

"Brother Yan, you want me......"

Princess Taiping held Li Xingzhou's face with both hands, her beautiful eyes were misty and misty, and her red lips were like flames.

"You're already mine, no one can snatch it!"

Li Xingzhou kissed her forehead.

"I want you!"

Princess Taiping suddenly resembled a stimulated little female beast.

hugged Li Xingzhou tightly and kissed him violently, pulling his clothes behind his back with both hands.

Li Xingzhou suddenly hugged Princess Taiping with her feet off the ground, Princess Taiping subconsciously screamed, and the whole person fell into Li Xingzhou's arms.

"Bad guy, scare me......"

Princess Taiping wrinkled her nose in disgust, and her small fist slapped lightly on Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou smiled and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Taiping, we still have a lifetime to spare."

Princess Taiping enjoyed the feeling when Li Xingzhou kissed her forehead, and closed her eyes with a charming smile on her face.

"We're engaged."

Princess Taiping said.

"Hmm." Li Xingzhou said.

"The wedding date is September 20."

"Seven months to go, so long!"

Princess Taiping gently stroked Li Xingzhou's smooth silk brocade clothes and said softly.

"Brother Yu'er, you say, if our child is a boy, what kind of name should he choose? If it's a girl, what kind of small print should you choose? ”

Li Xingzhou suddenly smiled.

"I haven't gotten married yet, so I'm thinking about this."

"I just want it!"

Princess Taiping pulled Li Xingzhou to sit down, hugged his elbow and gently snuggled it on his shoulder, and said softly:

"My mother said that when a woman gives birth to a child for a man, they truly become an inseparable part of each other's lives. Brother Yan, I want to give you a baby as soon as possible...... The sooner, the better! ”

Although it was sweet words between lovers, Li Xingzhou heard a trace of "uneasiness" in Princess Taiping's heart.

Li Xingzhou held her hand.

"Believe me, no one can separate us!"

Princess Taiping shook him tightly.

"And what if one day, you don't want me anymore?"

"There won't be that day!"

Princess Taiping suddenly laughed.

"Oh, I'm a princess, so you don't dare to divorce me!"

Li Xingzhou laughed, Princess Taiping was unintentional, but indirectly confided in some of her thoughts.

Like all women, Princess Taiping is in dire need of security.

Perhaps, Princess Taiping, who was born in the royal family, has seen a lot of cannibalism and separation from his wife since she was a child.

More insecure than the average person, more need for security!

......

The situation is changing delicately, and the plan really can't keep up with the changes.

As Princess Taiping said, Wu Zetian was quite satisfied with the results of Li Xingzhou's conquest of Longxi.

In the past, Wu Zetian's main focus was on seizing power in the government.

Recently, I have probably paid a little attention to military power and army generals.

Coupled with Princess Taiping's favor, this undoubtedly made Wu Zetian pay more attention and importance to Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou knew that Princess Taiping played a vital role in this.

Otherwise, Wu Zetian is cautious and spicy, and he will not easily put such an important matter as "military power".

Leave it to someone as young and relatively strange as Li Xingzhou to do it.

Of course, the future son-in-law is very capable and motivated, which is a very long-faced thing for Wu Zetian.

So she was also willing to give Li Xingzhou a chance to cultivate and hone it.

At present, the expedition to the Turks is another important test and opportunity for Li Xingzhou to be tested and compensated by Wu Zetian.

The Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to military merits, and the generals who have made achievements on the battlefield are everywhere after returning to the dynasty.

In recent decades, the Tang Dynasty has dominated the rule of culture, so few people have shined because of their military exploits, and Xue Ne is almost a standout.

Now the Northern Turks are rebelling, which is a great crisis for the Tang Empire, but it is a great opportunity for the generals of the army.

The ambitious Li Xingzhou is staring at this matter, how can there be any reason to relax now?

Fortunately, Wu Zetian is also willing to fulfill and intentionally make compensation.

Wu Zetian said.

"In addition, being in the army is not as good as being in Luoyang, everything must be done expediently. If something happens in Luoyang, there may be room for negotiation and remedy; If something goes wrong in the army, it may be the one who lost his life. Li Xingzhou, you are still young, you must slowly learn to be cautious! ”

"Back then, you and Xue Ne went on an expedition to Tibet together, and you have a lot of experience, so you don't need me to teach you."

"Yes, keep in mind!"

Li Xingzhou replied.

"Li Xingzhou, you are still young, you have talent, talent and opportunities, which need to be cherished."

"What should be learned and improved in all aspects should be carried out seriously and modestly."

Wu Zetian said.

"I can't always tell you in your ear, you have to think more about why, think more about the possible consequences, the so-called think twice before acting."

"In officialdom, it is not easy to do things right, but it is very easy to make mistakes."

"You've only been in the company for a few days, how many times have you made mistakes, think about it yourself? Hongu pointed it out more than once in person! ”

"The minister is afraid, the minister will reflect!"

Li Xingzhou arched his hand.

Wu Zetian nodded with a smile.

"Li Xingzhou, I didn't beat you to belittle you, but to value you."

"As the saying goes, no jade is not cut, no one is born perfect, and no one will not make mistakes."

"What is commendable is that you are a young man with a lot of understanding and potential, so I will bother to give you personal guidance."

"You go and ask Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi about those two big stubborn stones, how did they treat them when they made a mistake!"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said.

"A strict master produces a high apprentice, and the minister can comprehend His Majesty's hard work!"

"Yes, keep in mind!"

Li Xingzhou's eyes lit up, Wu Zetian said it thoroughly, it seems that he really didn't treat me as an outsider.

"This dispatch of troops to the Turks is an important experience for you, don't let this palace down!"

Wu Zetian said and stood up.

"There is not much time left before the expedition, you have time to accompany Taiping more."

"Yes...... Obey the order! ”

......

Princess Taiping walked in.

From a distance, I saw Li Xingzhou sitting there alone.

He walked over gently, sat down next to Li Xingzhou, and did not speak.

Li Xingzhou turned his head and smiled at her.

Princess Taiping also smiled slightly and asked softly.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Li Xingzhou stretched out an arm to wrap around her shoulder.

"It's been a hard day for you."

"Did my queen mother scold you?"

Princess Taiping asked softly.

"Nope."

Li Xingzhou smiled and said.

"She gave me a lot of guidance, made me understand a lot of truths, and learned a lot of things."

"And you're still downcast?"

Princess Taiping said.

"Do I have one?"

Li Xingzhou smiled.

"I'm just thinking, and it's confusing to learn without thinking!"

"Yo, I'm starting to learn again."

Princess Taiping giggled twice, snuggled softly into Li Xingzhou's arms, gently stroked his strong chest, and said softly.

"Brother Yu, we just got engaged and you're going to go on the expedition, can you come back in time to marry me?"

"Yes."

Li Xingzhou replied in the affirmative.

"You know how to lie to me."

Princess Taiping whispered.

"How long a war lasts, can you have the final say?"

"That's a big deal, I'll be a deserter, and I'll come back early to marry you!"

Li Xingzhou said with a smile.

"It's weird!"

Princess Taiping snorted.

"If you were a deserter, you wouldn't have gone on an expedition at this time!"

"Ouch, it's getting harder and harder to deceive now!"

Li Xingzhou gently patted Princess Taiping's exposed smooth and fragrant shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Actually, you are very opposed to me going on the expedition in your heart, why don't you mention it to stop me?"

"Don't worry, I will never miss our wedding!"

Li Xingzhou smiled slightly and hugged Princess Taiping tighter.
