Chapter 381: Black Clouds Crush the City and Destroy the City
Chu Mo came and went quickly, and after conveying the intention to all the officials of the Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and appointing them accordingly, he left half of the accompanying guards to Peiwang Li Xian, and he immediately opened the way. Before leaving, he didn't forget to drag Li Xian aside and said something very sourly.
"Since I took over the old man's class to take charge of the secret guard, I haven't planted much, but this time I let Your Highness take the lead, I'm just afraid that my old man will complain to death! However, since your people handed over that evidence to the queen mother, Mrs. Rongguo has not mentioned the need to punish Tibet. However, the imperial court Haidong has been using troops for many years, and this national strength has been consumed too much, and it is not a blessing for the imperial court to use troops at both ends of the east and west, and you have to persuade the queen and Mrs. Rongguo. ”
Evidence, what evidence?
Li Xian couldn't help but feel inexplicable when he heard this, the reason why he thought of Qinling was entirely because of a series of reasoning, to say that he didn't catch the evidence at all, and now Cheng Chumo actually said that the Empress Wu got the evidence, what is going on? Although he didn't understand, he wisely didn't ask more, but took a big bag and sent this Lu Guogong out of the city, and then he turned around with a heavy heart.
However, when he saw the person Cheng Chumo left for him, he was immediately stunned - forget about the others, it was expected that his father and mother selected the elite from the three guards, but one of them looked very eye-catching, it was Ah Luo, who was dressed as a man!
sent the others away, and when he saw Ah Luo's eyes staring at him, he suddenly felt a little weak: "Why are you here?" ”
"Your Highness can run from Luoyang to this Liangzhou privately, why can't the slave and maid come?"
Ah Luo's eyes were white, and he actually revealed an unusually capable aura: "I still say that I won't leave the slave or maid at anything, such a big thing, I don't know anything, when the head of the Zhenguan Palace came to deliver the decree, I could only be silent!" Fortunately, His Majesty and Niangniang are both reasonable people. There is also the prince interceding from the side, otherwise I, the female official who serves you, will be guilty of dereliction of duty. Maybe I'm going to die! ”
From the initial honorific title to the final simple you and me, Li Xian didn't know that Ah Luo's heart was full of anger. However, at that time, he had a temporary idea, and he was afraid of being obstructed, so how could he dare to say hello and call him one by one?
Fortunately, Ah Luo is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, and his small temperament has passed for a while, and he even talks about the recent events in Luoyang and Chang'an. As soon as Li Xian left, Huo Huaien simply joined forces with Feng Laosha, and then passed through the door of Luoyang Ling Feng Zifang. was forced out of the impossible by them, and got the suspected murderer in the Fang Jiaxing assassination and arson case in a small inn. After some questioning, he finally took down a shop opened by a Tubo man in Nanshi.
To paraphrase a modern phrase, that is, the largest intelligence station in the center of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo has been served by Lianguo.
No wonder Cheng Chumo said something like that when he left! While Li Xian suddenly realized, he was also extremely satisfied in his heart. Originally, it was just his side of the story. Even if the parents believe it. After all, it cannot be used as conclusive evidence. After all. Although it is hateful that Qin Ling fled west without permission, it is still not a big deal. But. In order to flee westward, he injured people and set fire to Luoyang, if Datang did not investigate. Then there is no need to talk about the so-called great power bearing!
At this time, Li Xianfang was glad that Cheng Chumo had brought A Luo to Liangzhou, otherwise the news of Luoyang would have been cut off. Rao was like this, and he couldn't help but ask: "Did you know about your father and queen mother here?" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't know, but the queen mother has agreed, otherwise, where can I have the ability to let Lu Guogong take me all the way here?" Seeing Li Xian breathe a long sigh of relief, Ah Luo smiled unconsciously, "Niangniang also explains, let me take a good look at you, if I am the only one who asks except for things...... Therefore, from now on, my retinue should be decided! ”
In the face of his mother's arrangement, Li Xian naturally had nothing to say, of course, if his mother forced a person he didn't want to come over, it would be another matter.
Li Xian arrived in Liangzhou, but Qinling is now blocked in Taozhou. Along the way, Tuo Li Xian informed the Fu of the prefectures and counties that his escape road became more and more difficult, and after starting from Yuanzhou, he encountered three checks, each of which was more strict and cumbersome, so he had to temporarily change his plan and return to Qinzhou, only to learn that Anxi was now at war, and the prefecture and county were going to check all the merchants of the Western Regions who went there. As a result, he had to abandon his original position and use an alternate route to guide him from Taozhou to Tuyuhun back to Tibet.
Although this road was extremely dangerous, he knew that there were several nobles in Tuyuhun who were extremely close to the Gar family, so it was safer than staying in the Central Plains.
However, it seemed that overnight, from Longyou to Jiannan, countless soldiers appeared at once, and almost all roads were blocked, all of which were rumored to track down some spies. As a last resort, he had to take the mountain path, but he encountered torrential rain for three days, and the road was miserable, so it was easy to cross the west
When he arrived at a familiar Tuyuhun aristocratic territory, he got the news of the top land.
Datang has increased its troops in the Liang area! Pei Xingjian, who guarded the four towns of Anxi, actually sent troops south!
"This is impossible, when my country and Tuyuhun fought in the army before, he and Princess Honghua had asked the Tang Dynasty for help several times, but the Tang Emperor did not move, how could he suddenly increase his troops this time!"
Qin Ling was shocked and angry, the fatigue along the way and this unprecedented bad news converged, and he, an iron man, was also a little unbearable: "Didn't my third brother Zanpo already lead troops to press in, why haven't you done it now?" ”
Although he did something to betray the country, the Tuyuhun nobles received a lot of benefits from the Gar family, and he was not the only nobleman who Tuyuhun was close to Tubo, so although Qin Ling said bluntly at this time, he was still at ease: "Just two days ago, Tuyuhun received a notice from the Tang Dynasty that a lot of soldiers and horses had been mobilized. But just these people, Lord Zanpo can still defeat them in one fell swoop, but Datang is prepared, Pei Xingjian even marched into Khotan Town, and the movement seems to be ...... Something seems unusual. ”
Extraordinary indeed!
Qin Ling looked at his dusty entourage, thinking of the embarrassment along the way, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper. In order to be able to return to the west smoothly, he has been planning for several years, confident that he will not be seen by others, and he deliberately pretended to be injured by a fall from a horse in advance, which set off a series of accidents in Luoyang, and can delay a lot of time. However, as soon as he walked to Wonju, the government reacted, which was really unexpected by him.
At this time, he took a deep breath and said categorically: "You help me arrange it, I want to arrive at the Zanpo army as soon as possible, if I don't fight this time, Datang will withdraw from Haidong in the future, and this battle will be even more unfought!" ”
There was no trace of Qinling for ten days, and Li Xian knew that the hope of catching this guy was getting smaller and smaller. Even if the fugitives were pursued in later generations, the blockade by land, sea and air did not have much effect, let alone the manpower and material resources in these years. Despite this, it is not impossible to take revenge, that is, to see the truth on the battlefield.
However, is it possible for him, the governor of Liangzhou, to go to war?
"Ahem!"
Hearing this cough, Li Xian came back to his senses, and was suddenly a little embarrassed when he saw Dugu Qingyun, Xin Wenling, and Heizhi Chang Zhidu looking at him. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned, knowing that he should not desert when others were talking, but he still said humbly with a smile on his face: "The three generals are all generals of a hundred battles, although I live in Liangzhou, but I am only sitting in Liangzhou, in case there is a war, this supervision of the war supervision army is more meaningful, and I will not interfere in the affairs of the army without authorization." ”
Seeing that Dugu Qingyun and Xin Wenling's faces were relaxed, but the black-toothed Changzhi was smiling strangely, Li Xian knew that the first two were not familiar with him after all, and he was relieved when he heard that he didn't care about the military; And the latter must have heard something from Liu Renyuan and Liu Renliang, so he had some other thoughts. Of course, some commitment is necessary at the beginning of the year, and ...... later
"General Dugu, you just said that the Tubo soldiers and horses have crossed the area of Jishi Mountain, in your opinion, what will be the result of this battle between Tubo and Tuyuhun?"
Li Xian asked modestly, and Dugu Qingyun replied very simply: "Your Highness, with all due respect, once this battle starts, if I don't join the battle, Tuyuhun will be defeated." Now Tuyuhun is centrifuged up and down, and there are not a few nobles in Tubo, who were able to survive before, but it was because of the garrison of my Tang Liang as its backup, coupled with the internal fighting in Tubo. Who knows that although the news of Gar Dongzan's serious illness is true, the news of the three sons vying for the throne is fake, not only is it fake, but also those nobles of the Tibetan family are still crushed to death by the Gar family, and they absolutely can't count on it, so there is Zampo who led the troops to the expedition this time. ”
If Qinling goes back like this again, this west side ...... I'm afraid that the west side will be more chaotic than the east side!
At this moment, Li Xian only felt that one head and two were big. Although the Goguryeo civil strife was a great opportunity for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, in his opinion, the land in Haidong was far less important than the Hexi Corridor. If Tubo is allowed to take the Tuyuhun soldiers from Linhehuang, and then let them threaten the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, Tubo will have the capital to compete with the Tang Dynasty, and an important trade route will be cut off.
What is there to fight in Goguryeo, it's not cheap for outsiders to fight down, it's better to hurry up and increase troops to the west!
Such a thought turned in his mind, and seeing the different expressions of the three generals below, he suddenly thought of one thing - at the moment of the Liaodong War, these three people had to watch from the west, and they must have been a little unwilling, since this is the case...... At this moment, his heart has flown to Li Ji in Luoyang, but this fighter plane is fleeting, and the old fox is extremely cunning, how easy is it to let Li Ji Jinyan first decide on the west and then fight the east? He, the governor of Liangzhou, has no right to send troops, and his mother's white is happy!
