The general marched at night in brocade clothes, and the wind and sand were flat all the way.

At the beginning of the first month of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

Luoyang Palace.

Before the end of the New Year's Festival, Li Zhi hurriedly summoned Xue Li in.

Xue Li, who was dressed in gold armor and silver helmets, had just walked into the main hall when he heard Li Zhi say in a deep voice: "There is no need for more false etiquette - how is the battle ahead?" ”

Although Xue Li received Li Zhi's edict, he still made a big salute before getting up and saying, "The Lord is at ease, everything is fine." ”

Although there are only eight words, it can be said from the mouth of the white-robed young man in front of him, it seems to be like eight Dinghai Divine Iron, which made Li Zhi's heart settle down a lot for a while, and sighed: "It's a pity...... The father and emperor have been in business for many years, and the Turkic department is still an inevitable dispute in the end. ”

Xue Li said yes, and said: "In fact, if you look into it now, it will not reach such an unfair situation. It's just that the Western Turks are in trouble. If it can be calmed down, it will be safe in the future. ”

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, looked at Xue Li and said, "In your opinion, how is it?" ”

"If Xue Li's eight words can set the king's heart, then the word Su Lie can level the Western Regions." Xue Li said proudly.

When Li Zhi heard this, he smiled and pointed at him, "You said this skillfully......

"It's not what the minister said, this is the words of the queen." Xue Li said solemnly.

Li Zhi was stunned again: "Queen? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

"This is said by Chrysostom, and it is spread both inside and outside. The officers and men in the army are even more good. Xue Li said solemnly: "Please don't blame Niangniang for the Lord - he will die for his confidant, and it is really a blessing for the Tang Dynasty sergeants to be like this." ”

Li Zhi's eyes froze: "Oh? It sounded like the queen was very prestigious in the army. ”

"Not only in the army, but also in the people, they also regard Niangniang as a saint and Bodhisattva. It's a pity that ......" Xue Li kept silent.

Li Zhi also understood: "Those clans again." ”

"Actually, the Lord really doesn't need to worry about the sour scribes in the town. Mother doesn't care, let alone the Lord. Xue Licheng said.

Li Zhi nodded and said, "This is true...... Speaking of which, I'm really curious - Mei Niang said that the word Su Lie can level the Western Regions...... Didn't she throw the British Duke into the air? ”

When Xue Li heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "But how could it be?" ”

"Then tell me, what does she say about the British duke?"

"Niangniang said that the lord once said in person, although the first emperor has the Great Wall of Qin, it is difficult to reach the British prince today."

When Li Zhi heard this, he shook his head and laughed again: "Let's go...... She had learned all those words...... Good. ”

Xue Li smiled slightly and said, "Niangniang's hard work, anyone can understand." The so-called mother of the country is probably not out of the palace for half a step. The reason why I can say these words is because I listen to the Lord's judgment every day. Therefore, the words of the queen mother are actually the words of the Lord. ”

Li Zhi smiled slightly, but did not answer. After a while, he said: "Now that the Western Turks are close to peace, my Tang Dynasty and Silla Alliance are also established. The time has come. ”

Xue Li solemnly: "The minister obeys the holy order!" ”

"Well, but you have to be careful, remember what I said to you that day...... We must be extremely cautious in our actions, and we must not teach Goguryeo and Baekje Dongying to find out the details. Li Zhi said lightly.

Xue Li responded again, and then said: "There is another matter, I am afraid that news will reach the ears of the Lord in the near future, and it will be more annoying than annoying the Lord." The British public thought that this matter was quite difficult, so they ordered Rengui to take the first step to sue the Lord. Please also ask the Lord to judge and decide. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he was stunned and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's also boring......" It was rare to see Xue Li's helpless face, and even sighed a long sigh in front of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was curious: "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xue Li looked left and right, and then sighed before saying, "It's the ...... of the Guizi Kingdom."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows again: "Guizi Country? You mean the cloth is lost? What about the man? ”

Xue Li pondered for a long time before he hesitated: "I don't know if the Lord has ever heard that Bu is a lost person...... Belch...... Yu ......"

"Well, do you mean sexually beautiful things?" Li Zhi nodded and said calmly: "I have heard about it, why did I lose the pot in this kind of thing again?" ”

"No, it's not ......" Xue Li was embarrassed, and sighed for a long time: "That's it, he is also a little wrong with himself." obviously didn't have that kind of ability, but he had to marry a beautiful young concubine. And this concubine has had a personal relationship with her eldest minister for many years...... As a result, between the monarch and the minister, it was not like a day. ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he was displeased: "It's ridiculous that this cloth is lost!" The lord of a country can't even deal with such a trivial matter! I am still strange, he usually likes to be lively and jubilant, but this time the court meeting, but he has never seen the court...... Even his prime minister did not come. What a ......."

Li Zhiqi didn't come anywhere, so he said: "I have to tell you about such things." And only tell the English prince that if the pair of ridiculous princes and ministers come to me, I will only have a glass of wine for each person, and reward them on the way back to my own country to make trouble! Even he shouldn't have to pay attention to it! What kind of characters are they...... It's ridiculous! I just put on the name of the Son of Heaven in the sea, and they really think that I am the father of the world, and such trivial things will bother me? ”

When Xue Li heard this, he couldn't sigh secretly for a while, but fortunately, Li Ji had something to say first, so he said in a low voice: "But the lord, when the British prince and the minister said goodbye to Tongguan, they said that they were very clear, and said that they must ask the lord to discuss this matter with Niangniang before making a decision......"

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and only said lightly after a while: "The British public has a side affair in mind, and just after the third day of the court meeting, he asked me for an order on the fourth day of the first month and set off for the customs...... You count the number of months since you returned from the border pass to Luoyang at the beginning of last month...... Today is the tenth day of the first month. In other words, you and he only met in Tongguan three days ago...... In three days, it will go from Luoyang to Tongguan...... Such a rapid march must be ......"

Li Zhi's eyes lit up: "Explain the affairs of Qiuzi Country in detail." ”

When Xue Li heard this, he immediately said yes, and told Li Zhi about the matter.

……

It's night.

In the Hall of Eternal Life.

As soon as Li Zhi entered the hall, he pulled Mei Niang to tell her Li Ji's words today, and as soon as she heard that it was about military and political affairs, she had the intention to hide, but she heard that Li Ji actually opened her mouth in person.

“…… In other words, the generals of the Guizi Kingdom have already returned to their hearts? The lord of the country of Qiuzi has lost everything, and now it is a virtual existence? Mei Niang was stunned when she heard this, looked at Li Zhi and nodded before saying, "That's right...... If this is not the case, how can the mother of a country have such a thing as fornicating with the great power of the country, so that the lord of the country is forced to ask for help from the emperor of the kingdom? ”

Li Zhi sighed: "That's why I said this is a mess...... It's true that this cloth is lost, and the town ignores the affairs of its own country every day, every day, and only knows how to make these things out! I had just settled the orchids in Chang'an Jingzhong who had been crying and making trouble to follow him all day long, and now they are making this trouble...... I'm so annoyed! was anxious, and simply kicked him out of the Tang Domain with his Guizi Kingdom, and went wherever he liked! Annoying! ”

While talking, he shouted angrily and fell backwards.

Mei Niang rolled her eyes at him, but said: "It's easy for you to say this, just talk about it here, don't say it in front of others...... One is from Ashina Helu, who is from the Western Turks, waiting - don't forget, the princess of King Naqizi is from his own clan in Ashina's family, and he is even closer to Ashina Helu; Second, if you really ignore this matter, think about other small countries, how can you withstand this fright? Originally, they were attached to my Datang, and the picture was the benevolence, righteousness, and propriety of the Tang Dynasty, and they were willing to take care of them to keep their country safe. But if you have left it alone...... Didn't he teach him that the small nations were restless? ”

Li Zhi sat up straight and looked at Mei Niang in a daze: "Then you say, what should I do?" If it's anything else, I can help. But this ...... This...... Such pickled things......"

Li Zhi gritted his teeth and looked embarrassed.

When Mei Niang heard this, she was silent for a while before she said lightly: "Jiro, calm down, and then make a decision." Is it another headache? It's annoying to watch you. That's not going to be a good way to handle things. ”

While speaking, she went to bring a cup of warm honey water to drink with him twice, took the cup and put it aside, and was hugged by Li Zhi, buried her head in her neck, and said in a muffled voice: "Well, okay, then don't move, let me be quiet for a while." ”

Mei Niang laughed, and couldn't help but pat him on the back and said, "It's not telling you to be quiet for a while...... That's it. ”

As far as she said, she was helpless to think about it, so she patted him on the back casually and let him hold her.

After a while, Li Zhi moved his head, thought for a while, and said calmly: "This is what Ashina Helu meant." ”

"Hmm." Mei Niang nodded.

Li Zhi thought about it again and said: "He wants to take the opportunity of his sister to skid-open the country of Qiuzi, so that he can find a way to survive in this Western Regions." ”

"So he needs the support of the country of Qiuzi. And although Bu Shibi is a bit absurd, he is loyal to my Datang. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate it. Mei Niang gently lifted Li Zhi's head, and said softly while carefully removing the hairpin for him.

Li Zhi sat obediently with open hands, let Meiniang remove the hairpin for him and take the crown, change the robe, and rolled his eyes and said, "So...... I really can't ignore this. The British public opinion is extremely true. If this matter had been in my own heart, I would have ignored it a long time ago—after all, what annoyed me the most was that I wanted to meddle in these other things...... But this matter is related to the border of the Tang Dynasty and the safety of the countries, and I can't ignore it. ”

"No mistake." Mei Niang said in a low voice: "Then Jiro has thought of a way?" ”

"What's so hard about such a thing?" Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and smiled, and stretched out his hand to hug her into his arms: "The British Duke really knows my heart...... A small thing may seem insignificant, but it can affect the overall situation. And at the moment, I'm focused on the matter of Samhan and Dongying, and I'm very disappointed in Bu Shibi, so naturally I'll be a little negligent. But if I want to tell you this...... You are like a general, and you have thought through the middle trick for me and reminded me...... Well, good, good. It's really good. ”

Mei Niang rolled her eyes and said to him: "You are still happy!" Even the British public knows that you can't make up your mind right now, and you're still happy! ”

"Why not? It's just that I can't make up my mind, with you! Why not? Li Zhi Pipi smiled, stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, and said with a smile: "With you, why am I unhappy?" ”

Mei Niang smiled and shook her head silently.

……

At the end of the first month of the third year of the Tang Dynasty.

The king of the Qiuzi country, Bu Bi has a secret sparse play on the Tang Dynasty Khan, Gaozong Li Zhi, said that the great minister of his country, Nali, is autocratic, bullying the king, and has controlled the government for many years, and is even more strict with the mother of the country. And he secretly has a lot of contact with the rebel general Ashina Helu in the Western Regions, and he is afraid that he will prosper in the unfavorable things of the Tang Dynasty and its close neighbors, and he also asks Li Zhi, the lord of the Tang Dynasty, to decide.

When Li Zhi heard this, he was very angry, so he summoned Bu Shibi, Ashina, and Nali to enter the Luoyang Palace to see them together, so as to determine their share.

When the eldest grandson Wuji and others heard this, they strongly advised them to use the edict as an excuse, so as not to startle the snake.

Lee Chi Joon.

So at the beginning of February, the three of them entered the Luoyang Palace.

As soon as the three of them entered the Luoyang Palace, Li Zhi immediately summoned all the people in the country of Qiuci to testify, and he counted the crimes of the prime minister of the country of Qiuci and imprisoned him. Because he was worried that Bu was old and frail, he was afraid that he would lose, so he ordered Zuo Junjun Lang to send Lei Wencheng to return to China.

Lei Wencheng received the order, to the eastern mud master city, the general of the Qiuzi country and the same party as Nali and Ashina, more by the benefits of Ashina Helu, but betrayed his king Bu Bi, and actually sent the crowd to refuse, and even sent his envoys, pretending to be a national letter, and surrendered to Ashina Helu.

Li Zhi was furious when he heard this, and he sent troops to ask for it!

During the war, Bu lost Bi died in the army due to anger and depression, coupled with old age and illness. For a while, the mourning report entered Beijing, which made Li Zhi angry, and he wrote a letter to reprimand the edict, ordering Shen Yanwei to lead Murong Jun, the general of Zuo Shenwei, to personally lead Shen Yanwei to a thousand and march on behalf of the Son of Heaven!

As soon as a thousand iron horsemen arrived, Yang Zhou's army was like a god's help.

With a thousand crossbows in hand, Yan Wei, the god of golden chain mail protection, was under the leadership of Murong Jun, like a divine soldier and a god general, he broke through the Mud Master City in two days, killing thousands of enemies, and no one in the Shenyan Guard was lost!

For a while, when the lords of the Western Regions heard this, they were terrified of the Tang Dynasty Divine Army inexplicably! Especially Ashina Helu!

Five days later, Murong Jun recaptured the remnants of the Tang Dynasty and his remnants, and announced the edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty in the city, denouncing his crimes and punishing them.

Later, Yang Zhou and Murong Jun personally led the army, and the body of the cloth was lost and returned to the capital, and his son Su Ji was wailing and crying bitterly, welcoming him to the side, and even more flattering and neglecting Murong Jun, the leader of the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven and Yanwei, thanked him.

Murong Jun was neglected, but he didn't stop for a moment, and ordered the meteor Pegasus to rush six hundred miles into Luoyang.

After Li Zhi read it, he wept with feelings, pity his suffering, and because he had the hope of attachment, he wrote an edict in person, taking the city of Mushi as the governor's mansion of Qiuci, and Lisuji as the king and governor of Qiuci. It also announced that in the world, if anyone dares to offend and dare to disturb the turtle in the future, it will be regarded as a crime against the Tang Dynasty, and it will be a shame to raise troops to fight it!

For a time, all the countries were talking!
