In August of the twentieth year of Zhenguan, the weather gradually cooled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On this day, the news that Xizhou and Tingzhou skillfully seized the Baipao City and controlled the water source of Tingzhou on the Tianshan Mountains reached Chang'an, and the dragon's heart was happy.

The area of Baipao City, which Ashina Desire Valley intends to occupy, is the birthplace of the two major rivers in the territory of the Epyra Continent. One of these rivers is the Ili River to the east, which originates in the Shanshan Lake area in the eastern part of the Tianshan Mountains after going up 1,200 miles.

The other river is the Broken Leaf River, 480 miles west of the Ili River, this river comes from Atami, and ninety percent of the water in Atami also comes from the Tianshan Mountains, the largest of which is the source of the Baipao City, thirty miles south of the city, also from the mountain top lake.

Looking at it this way, it is self-evident how important the geographical location of the White Robe City is. Although the city could only hold 500 soldiers, it directly controlled the source of the two largest rivers in the land of Epyrida to the west of the Green Ridge.

The white-robed city is comparable to a folding military mansion! Besides, even if a Zhechong Shangfu was placed on the edge of the royal city of Broken Leaf City, which was in the land department of Yibi, it might not necessarily make Ashina Desire Valley so painful.

For a nomadic tribe, the importance of water and grass goes without saying. The displeasure in Ashina's heart was about as heavy as the joy in the heart of the Tang Emperor.

Gao Jun, the governor of Xizhou, only brought six guards from Tianshan Mu and seventy or eighty people from Tingzhou and Gudong to catch and gather, and then eradicated a nail that the Yipyra Land Department secretly wedged into the Tianshan Mountains and built a foothold.

The emperor learned that Gao Jun's action was only a small episode in the process of his inspection of the pastures of Tingzhou Tiandi City, and the military operation with the Epyra land department was also an impromptu intention. But I have to say, the meaning is too great.

Subsequently, Ashina Desire Valley did not have any reaction, and the dark breath was secretly choked.

One shows that his previous fortification behavior at the top of the Tianshan Mountains was not very bright, the second shows that the drought in the Epyra land is really unbearable, and the third is ...... That's what he must know: compared with Gao Jun in Xizhou, he couldn't take advantage of the hinterland of the Yipyra land in the past, and he couldn't go to the Tianshan Mountain Peak Lake in Xizhou and Tingzhou. It's really better to have a good attitude, so that the White Robe City will not be too harsh on the control and distribution of water sources, and give a share of the land department to Epyridox.

At this point, Xizhou, which was the first to report the drought, was the first to let His Majesty the Emperor put his heart in his stomach.

Since ancient times, horses have been closely related to the safety and prosperity of the land of China, and the nomadic Yidi from the west, north and east have been the elbows and armpits of all dynasties and generations since the Spring and Autumn Period. If there are no horses, how can you go to the border!

It seems that the eldest grandson Wuji said, "The matter of the herdsmen is important, and the emphasis is on the chief." "It's really true, with Guo Xiaoke and Gao Jun here, Xizhou is worry-free!

After receiving the report, the emperor once again moved the idea of rewarding Xizhou, but where can he be rewarded again? Gao Jun is too young, and there is no suitable replacement.

In the end, he only made one decision: Tingzhou Thorn Shi Ashina thin cloth, awarded Yin Qingguanglu Doctor, Yunlu General, and Founding Marquis, to enter Chang'an from Sanpin, and give him a mansion. In order to show his merits in taking the initiative to merge Futu City into the Tang Dynasty and cooperating with Xizhou to attack the White Pao City.

The original Tingzhou is not driving, and now the long history Wang Da, with the merit of the white robe city, awarded the Tingzhou Thorn History, and is the fourth grade.

Compared with the drought resistance in Xizhou, Qianzhou is somewhat unsatisfactory, but His Majesty did not criticize the high court for half a sentence, and the Qianzhou drought fighting chapter reported by Shi Suyin, the governor of Xizhou, did not mention any matter of the high trial to impose fines, so it was not punished. After all, the wasteland that has been opened up will still be there next year and the year after.

Moreover, he also promoted a county-level official in Qianzhou to the position of governor of Qianzhou. There are four ways to choose a person: one is the body, and the body must be magnificent. The second is to speak, and the words must be corrected. The third is the book, which must be beautiful. Fourth, it must be judged in arts and sciences. The above four things are desirable before they can be awarded official positions above the sixth grade.

That Li Yin's appearance, Yousi had already reported to the emperor that this person had long scars on his face, fierce eyebrows, and the first one of "great appearance" was not qualified at all, but the emperor did not hesitate and promoted him.

Since the conquest of Goryeo, the emperor's body has always been unwell, sometimes in his sleep in the deep ditch fortification, flying arrows like locusts on the battlefield, often wake up in the middle of the night, sweat in the summer night soaked brocade quilt, wake up after the spirit of withering.

When the body is not happy, it will often think about the past.

The emperor had visited Qingshan Palace in early August, where he was born. He watched in the Qingshan Palace and was choked. remembered that when he was born, there were traces of two dragons on his chest, and the queen mother loved him the most among all the sons.

He said to the courtiers, "I was born in this palace, and now my mother will never be violated, and the virtue of nurturing me can no longer be repaid!" Then he wailed and cried, and his subordinates and attendants were all weeping.

Subsequently, His Majesty was fortunate to be in the Jiucheng Palace, which was the place where his mother lived before her death, and the emperor still inspected the old things, as if his mother was still there, so he was grieved. So he issued an edict to open the warehouse and help the poor people, so as to accumulate the virtue of the mother.

The imperial doctor said that there was a way to be sick in winter and summer, and His Majesty's dragon body was not safe, which was caused by the bitter cold on the battlefield of Goryeo, and this attack had the reason for suffering from the heat.

The summer heat gradually subsided in August, so he issued an edict to personally inspect Jingzhou, two hundred miles northwest of Chang'an, and ordered the crown prince Li Zhi to stay in Chang'an, accompanied by Sun Wuji, the prince of Zhao, and Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.

In order to show that he was in the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period and his energy was okay, the emperor ordered this trip not to take a chariot, but to still ride his mount Wuhuaku. This horse charged on the battlefield of Goryeo, and the horse was hit by two arrows in the front, and still carried the emperor forward.

On Gengchen Day, the holy car arrived in Jingzhou, and the emperor rode his horse on the meadow outside the city, and he really felt refreshed, and issued an edict to give widows and widows. After a banquet with fifteen local elderly people, everyone thought that His Majesty should issue an edict to return to Chang'an, and the emperor seemed to be unfulfilled and had a new goal.

So the holy car went westward again.

Since the impeachment of Guo Xiaoke and Gao Jun by Liu Xun, the concubine of the former crown prince, the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Daozong, a pair of important ministers who were once inseparable, have undergone a qualitative transformation in their relationship. Even when they looked at each other, there was a lack of politeness and vigilance in their eyes.

Neither the eldest grandson Wuji nor Li Daozong could guess where the emperor's next destination was, and it was inconvenient to ask, thinking that he was completely happy and sick.

Because of their trip, the daily journey is less than 200 miles.

Later, they realized that His Majesty did not believe in the reins at all, but that his body was really not as good as before. Six days later, on the day of August Bingxu, when they arrived in Liangzhou, the emperor once sighed, "Six days! It was only six days before I traveled as far as Xizhou. ”

Li Daozong asked, "Does Your Majesty want to go to Xizhou?" ”

The eldest grandson said, "Your Majesty, Gao Jun is probably not in Xizhou at this time, and the minister just received a message from the Xizhou Mansion on the way, it was Gao Jun who told His Majesty to take leave, saying that Lord Chu, who was worried about Ding in Yuhang County, had given him a message, and found the news of the biological father of the third lady of Gao Dudu, Fan Ying, who had been missing for many years, in the digging pond and tuntian. He and his third lady probably went to Yuhang County. ”

The emperor remembered that Zongzheng Shaoqing Fan Boshan had also taken leave because of this matter, so he said, "It's really unfortunate, then I won't go to Xizhou." It was as if he gave up halfway this time not because of physical reasons, but because the governor of Xizhou was not there.

He sighed with emotion that the governor was not there, and there was still a female official in Qianzhou, and there should be only one Liu Dunxing left in Xizhou at this time...... He is so relieved, and I am even more relieved!
