I saw two little generals, came to them, respectfully beat a thousand, bowed down: "The last general has seen the general."

Hearing this familiar voice, Wang Xuance looked fixedly, "Hey" These two are none other than the living map of Kampo, and they are overjoyed! He hurriedly stretched out his hand and beckoned them to get up quickly.

"How is it, Wang Changshi, have these two little generals ever been satisfied?" Songtsen Gampo asked him with a pleasant face.

These two are not only old acquaintances of Wang Xuance, but also brothers in life and death, sharing weal and bene. During his first mission to the Five Indias, it was thanks to these two people that Songtsen Gampo borrowed that he was killed many times. But seeing this, Wang Xuance humbly replied: "Thank you for your kindness, or Zanbu is thoughtful." ”

At this time, Princess Wencheng has also gathered more than 200 skilled craftsmen who have been married. Lined up and waited for their review. Princess Wencheng deeply understands that this march and war is not only about the art of war, but also inseparable from these exquisite craftsmen.

These craftsmen can not only make all kinds of siege equipment, chariots, boat bridges, but also create swords and arrows at any time. It is a Dinghai Divine Needle that provides soldiers in front and a steady stream of combat power.

Of course, Wang Xuance also understands all this. I still remember that these craftsmen who married Tubo back then were all hand-picked by Li Shimin and selected from the Construction Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and all of them were well-known. But I saw these 200 or so craftsmen, all dressed in Tang costumes, and their simplicity was full of nature. After all these years of nourishment from the snowy plateau, the skin has become tanned. At the age of thirty or forty, he looks not only full of style, but also full of energy.

When they heard that they wanted to support Datang and serve in front of the army, they rushed to be the first and enthusiastically signed up. I saw them, holding a drill and chisel in their hands, hanging up the wooden evidence at their waists, and carrying an axe on their backs, and they were also very happy to see the hometown people from the Tang Dynasty, full of bright smiles.

In the queue of about 200 people, there was the largest old man, with gray sideburns; Although he felt that he had reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he was old and vigorous, with the spirit he should have. But seeing him striding out, he said to Wang Xuance: "I never thought that at this age, the old man could still serve in front of our Tang Army, and he was blind to death." I'm willing to wait for the general's dispatch! Between the words, he was about to bow down, but was hurriedly stopped by Wang Xuance.

This old man, named Zhang Xunzhen, is a good hand at forging Mo knives in the Ministry of Industry, because he is very proficient in forging ironware, so he was selected to marry Tubo that year. Hearing that she was going to go out with the army, Princess Wencheng excused herself because of her advanced age, but he knew that in the era of cold weapons, the Modao played its due role in the war. Therefore, before dawn, he had already taken a vigorous and powerful step to the Potala Palace, asking to see Princess Wencheng!

When he arrived at the gate of this palace, he was greeted by Xiao Cui, the personal maid who had followed the princess for many years. "Miss Cui, please excuse me, the old man wants to meet the princess!"

Xiao Cui'er saw that it was the old gentleman who asked to see her, and she didn't dare to slack off at all, so she hurriedly entered the dormitory and told the princess. The princess was arranging work for Li Zhengji at this time. Speaking of this Li Zhengji, he has also followed the princess for many years, in his forties, with a dignified appearance and a kind face. The Jokhang Temple, which was being built at this time, was made by the craftsmen led by him. Because there was a lot of discipline in building houses and building siege equipment, the princess asked her to be in charge of the specific coordination of the two hundred people and lead the expedition.

Princess Wencheng is such a smart person, when she heard that the old gentleman was coming, she already knew what she meant. Originally, I wanted to let Xiao Cui'er politely refuse again, but after thinking about it, if this not only hurt the old man's face, but also seemed to be even more sorry for the old man's sincerity.

Therefore, let Xiao Cui, who was about to go out to return to the courtesy, invite Mr. to come in for the time being. Seeing the old gentleman come in, the princess did not give him the slightest chance to make a big salute, so she hurriedly greeted him, helped him sit on the rosewood carved wreath chair, and said to him in a rather caring tone: "Sir, Xue Yan has deeply understood the heart of the gentleman, and as a child of the Li family, thank you for this piece of sincerity." But you are old, it is better to retire in our city; If you travel with the army, in case there is a mistake, but I don't want to see it! ”

Hearing the princess's generous words, the old gentleman immediately said to the princess humbly with excitement: "Thank you princess for your kindness, but our Tang envoys have suffered this humiliation in this foreign country; As the people of the Tang Dynasty, how can they stand idly by. Although the princess treats the old decay very well, she has also been able to eat and drink in Tibet over the years, and we have also brought out a lot of apprentices. But there is one thing, but it has not been taught to these apprentices, that is, our skill of forging the Mo knife, and the old man also knows the power of this knife, and he does not dare to pass it on at all. But at this time of crisis, the old decay should do its part for our Datang. I can't be here, enjoy this comfort, but look at us warriors, not to increase the casualties! ”

"Although Li'er is such a Li'er, but this is a long way to go, to these five Indian countries, not only the road is bumpy, but also has to climb snowy mountains and cross grasslands, and the snow geese really can't bear to watch Mr. You suffer this hardship?" The princess still gratefully rejected him.

Listening to the princess's thoughtful words, the old gentleman once again replied very politely: "The princess is too worried, if the old man can't do his last bit of strength for our Datang, he can't turn a blind eye to death." My body is tough, princess don't worry, let you see! Between the words, the old gentleman jumped up from the circle chair as soon as he "soared", and casually started the long boxing that he often practiced, and came to a backflip with a high degree of difficulty!

This scene not only made Xiao Cui'er stunned, but also made Li Zhengji look stupid, he never thought that the old gentleman was still so strong. Faced with the old gentleman's skill, Princess Wencheng hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, don't do this again, what can I do if I hurt my body?" ”

"Then the princess has agreed?" The old gentleman who stopped asked casually.

"Sir, this is really, not losing the courage of Lian Po back then," Li Zhengji said to him with envy and praise as he asked.

Seeing that the old gentleman was so sincere, Xue Yan could only nod his head with deep gratitude. Zhang Xunzhen, who received the princess's accurate reply, was also very happy and thanked him again and again. When she went to the military field of this school, the princess told Li Zhengji to take more care of her husband in the future, and not let him miss the slightest.

This is in a foreign country, an ordinary Tang people, who has the heroic righteousness and heroism of the country and the nation! Although they have married Tibet, they have the blood of the Chinese nation and will never give in......

There are poems:

Gray-haired, for the country

Build equipment and promote the prestige of the country

Forging a knife, shocking the enemy

What is the reason for everything?

Just for the peace of the world......

The editor said: I wish you all a New Year, and I wish you a good new year, good luck and good luck~
