Chapter 305
Midnight. Chang'an City.
Today's Chang'an City seems a little quiet. Liu Xu went to the desert, Qin Huaiyu and Niu Dengjia continued to attack Goguryeo, and Changsun Chong and Yu Chi Baolin returned from Goguryeo and led their troops to Xue Yantuo in the north. Li Chongzhen and Cheng Chumo also came to the Western Regions with their soldiers.
But they didn't go to Gongyue City, Li Chongzhen went from Xizhou Ping to Anxi Duhufu, he would go to Shule Town, to Dongcao.
Cheng Chumo went directly from Shazhou to Shicheng, to Boxian, drank Pantuo, and went straight to Tocharo on the other side of the Green Ridge.
Coupled with Liu Xu's northernmost line, the three major lines in the Western Regions were completely sniped by the Tang Dynasty military guards.
Therefore, after Liu Xu's generation of gentlemen left Chang'an, Chang'an City was very quiet.
Li Er beat his knees and stood up, he is now on the Dragon Head Plain, setting up a huge telescope, all the way to the direction of the Western Regions, the beacon is in flames, the military guards of the Tang Dynasty are now fighting everywhere, if there is a rebellion, at this time, it must be the best moment, because the domestic soldiers and horses are only tens of thousands of Xuanjia troops.
Yes, the Xuanjia Army returned to Chang'an, and the Xuanjia Army, which had stayed in Lingnan for decades, returned to Chang'an.
Do tens of thousands of Xuanjia soldiers guarantee the safety of Chang'an? Can you take responsibility for counterinsurgency?
The answer is obviously not enough, but, even if it is not enough, the entire Tang Dynasty, at this moment, no one dares to rebel.
Li Er looked at the stack of folds on the desk, and then looked at Li Chengqian, who was immersed in official business, and seemed very satisfied.
This kind of Tang Dynasty is actually the best, the people are desperately farming and working, the merchants follow the military guards everywhere to make a fortune, and the domestic scribes are desperately competing for political achievements, and no one dares to move.
Li Er thought about it and patted the telescope again.
He knew that calm was only superficial, and the Tang Dynasty was now only one string away from the war of the Sui Dynasty, and that string was the battlefield in the Western Regions.
Since Liu Xu left Chang'an four years ago, Liu Xu went out of Xizhou two years ago, the whole Tang Dynasty, and even the whole world have quieted down, everyone's eyes are focused on the territory of the Western Regions, which is the place where the Tang Dynasty military guards gather the most, and it is also the place where the military guards around the Tang Dynasty gather the most, from the beginning of the million army, to the later 1.2 million army, against Liu Xu's less than 600,000 military guards, everyone knows what this means, and Liu Xu also took the initiative to go out of Gaochang City in Xizhou and took the initiative to surround them.
This move almost set off a monstrous wave in China.
Li Jingtie blushed, stood on top of the court again, and asked Li Er for his life.
"Your Majesty, Liu Xu is finished, 600,000 troops, against 1.2 million troops, and in the unobstructed desert, there is no terrain to borrow, there is no trickery to speak of, surrounded by people, there is only a dead end! Liu Xu misled the country! The old minister asked for his life, and he invited himself to guard the Jade Gate, but the Yang Pass could not be guarded, and only by guarding the Jade Gate could he resist the desert coalition army that had been driving straight in! ”
The words of the military god Li Jing undoubtedly put this battle to a conclusion, Li Er slapped on the table angrily, stood up, and glared at Li Jing with angry eyes.
"As a great general, you speak lightly of defeat, what is your intention!"
At that time, Li Er's body was trembling, and he issued ten orders in a row to prevent the news from coming out.
But where can it be blocked?
Wei Zheng held his head high, and he made his stinky stone again. But this time, he is in line with Li Jing.
"Your Majesty, let Li Jing go and guard the Jade Gate. Liu Xu, the Duke of Jin, can die, but our Datang can't afford to lose, Your Majesty! Liu Xu is the son-in-law of the minister, his personality, the minister knows that if he leads the army to fight and has some surprise attack schemes, he can do it, but this time, it is a dignified and upright decisive battle, Your Majesty, how dare he fight against 1.2 million people with less than 600,000 military guards? What's the use of his insistence? Let Cheng Chumo and Li Chongzhen lead the army westward. It can't be saved, so it can only be saved by encircling Wei and saving Zhao, forcing the Western Regions Coalition Army to divide its troops to determine the hearts of all the people. ”
Li Er felt that he was too old almost overnight, he needed someone to help him walk, his knees hurt so badly, Sun Simiao didn't say anything, just said that it was a damp heat caused by weather changes.
Since then, Datang has been quiet, as quiet as a black cloud that can flash and thunder at any time.
Li Er didn't know how many times he asked himself, did he mistakenly believe that kid?
But he still believed that he still believed before there was no news from the Western Regions.
At the request of the courtiers, he sent Li Jing to the Western Regions, and then sent Cheng Yanjin to Xue Yantuo, Hou Junji to Goguryeo, and Li Ji to the South China Sea.
Datang began the campaign, which can also be said to be defense.
Liu Yimo was wearing battle armor and entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, my mother went to Xizhou, I am the daughter of the Liu family, Nanhai Zhenla, it was deployed by my mother, dare to mess with my Tang Dynasty, it is the responsibility of my Liu family, go to Mo dang, to shock the frontier, if there is chaos, to Mo Dang to see me!"
A girl who is only a teenager, resolute and determined.
The slender hand is like a sheep fat carving, but the hand holding the sword has not slackened at all.
Li Er agreed.
The Liu family has this daughter, Liu Xu is really defeated, so what?
What's more, isn't it unknown yet?
Therefore, Liu Yimo led 3,000 soldiers, left Chang'an City, and went straight to the South China Sea.
"There was Mulan in the past, and now there is me Liu Yimo, how can the reputation of my Liu family be slandered by others at will? When Daddy wins, it is also the day of my Liu Yimo's triumph! ”
.....
Li Er thought about the words of the Liu family for a long time, he was relieved and distressed.
"Liu Xu, I haven't failed you, you, in fact, have never failed me, and your Liu family has never failed me!"
"It's a pity that among my Li Shimin's descendants, there is no one who can be worthy of your Liu family's daughter, Li Xiang..."
Li Er thought of his eldest grandson again, and he was very disappointed. He would actually be afraid of Liu Yimo?
I don't know who said what to him, this eldest grandson of the emperor would actually believe that the Liu family is over since then?
Li Chengqian kicked his son, Liu Yimo broke a spear in front of him, and then, this guy who had no interest was actually scared and weak!
Alas!
Li Er let out another long sigh.
For Li Chengqian, Li Er has nothing to say, this son, even if he lacks a little bit, is still not bad.
"Alright, come, don't be busy, talk to me."
Li Er was finally tired, and he sat down outside the main hall.
When Li Chengqian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed and saluted, also took a brocade pier, and sat down.
"It rained yesterday, and the weather is getting a little cooler, father, you should add an extra piece of clothing."
Li Er smiled.
"Don't be afraid, I can still bear this change."
He didn't know what he meant, that change, he didn't know what he was talking about, or what he was talking about.
“.... Cheng Qian, over there in the Western Regions, is there a battle report? ”
After a pause, Li Er spoke again, and Li Chengqian curled his fingers and thought for a moment.
"Still no, the Western Regions Alliance has surrounded us, and they are a famous eagle training nation, so the information can't be transmitted. However, I believe in Xuzi, since there is no news, it means that there is nothing to do. And up, didn't Wu Mei also go to the Western Regions, she was most familiar with Gaochang, many sand thieves, and also gave her a face, if she gathered..."
Li Er waved his hand.
"Don't comfort me, how much ability Wu Mei has, others don't know, don't I know your father and the emperor? Whether she is in the South China Sea or in Gaochang, if it weren't for the support of Liu Xu, she would have been able to make such a big battle? She does have some ability to attack the heart, if it is placed in the emperor's harem, the harem will be messed up, I still believe it, but in the war, she, far from it. ”
Li Chengqian was silent, and Li Er laughed.
"But Chengqian, my father, I still don't regret sending Liu Xu. In fact, everyone knows that Liu Xu went out of Gaochang, and he was forced to go out, he was sent out to fight, not to defend Gaochang, if he wanted to take the Western Regions, he would finish his work in one battle, and he could only die and live. It's the big picture, the big gamble. The battle on the battlefield is actually a big gamble, there is no absolute victory, Liu Xu dares to go out of Gaochang City, in fact, whether it is Li Jing or others, they all admire him, which proves that he Liu Xu has the qualifications of a famous general. If he wins the Western Regions, then his status will even surpass Li Jing. You see that Li Jing and they don't like what they say, but look at them, after they went to Yumen Pass, were they panicked?
Nope! Because they are also gambling, if Liu Xu wins, he will definitely immediately accept the position of the first person in the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, the Jiangmen will be completely stabilized.
If Liu Xu is defeated, in fact, they already have a plan, the support of the older generation is gone, and the young tigers of the younger generation should open their fangs and fight alone. Datang has not yet reached the point of destroying the country, because, for so many years, in fact, the new generation of Datang has grown up. ”
Speaking of which, he seems to be very proud. This is indeed something to be proud of, because these people have grown up under the cultivation of him Li Er, Datang has these people, Li Er knows that within a hundred years, Datang will have no problem.
Thinking of this, he frowned again, and he thought of Liu Xu again, if this guy is here?
Li Er stood up, he looked at the distant Western Regions, and he let out a long sigh.
Li Chengqian couldn't persuade his father, after all, at this time, all persuasion was useless.
He poured a glass of wine and prepared to take a sip.
But he just came to his lips.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
Who dares to make a loud noise in the palace?
Li Er also heard it, he was stunned for a moment, and then trembled.
"Eight hundred miles of urgency, a great victory in the Western Regions, the general Liu Xu, with a gunpowder artifact, slashed more than 200,000!"
"Eight hundred miles of urgency, a great victory in the Western Regions, the general manager Liu Xu, with the battle of chariots, continued to fight for a year, beheading the Tuyuhun patriarch, capturing the leader of Xue Yantuo, capturing the general of the Great Food Murahid, capturing the commander of the Tubo Daxiang coalition army, Lu Dongzan! The million-strong army of the Western Regions was defeated by my Datang in a battle! ”
These are two great victories, one before and one after the other. The two great victories were nearly a year apart, but they arrived in Chang'an at the same time.
They didn't stop riding, and they didn't know how many fine horses they had ridden and died.
When Li Jing saw these people, he almost thought it was a scam by the Western Regions Alliance.
However, fortunately, he knew Lao Wu, the one-armed Lao Wu.
Two more scars were added to his neck.
However, at this moment, he held his head high with great pride.
In my life, there have been countless wars, but which time, there was a hearty time? 600,000 troops, crushing twice as many enemies.
Others have defeated tens of thousands of people, don't say it, you have the ability, you use this person to defeat the Western Regions Alliance, you have the ability, you are in the desert, you survive for life, you have the ability, phew! You don't have that ability!
Therefore, Lao Wu laughed wildly. He even shouted at Li Jing on the city wall.
"Li Jing, do you dare to stop my grandfather's report of victory?"
He shouted, the steel knife in his hand was no longer curled, but he still shouted loudly. Who dares to say that this steel knife can't kill people?
Li Jing didn't dare to stop him, he let him go, Lao Wu laughed wildly, dragged a wound, dragged a body of tattered clothes, and beat the horse through the city gate, he roared again, Gongyue was a great victory!
"He really did it!"
Li Jing smashed the book of war in his hand on the city wall, at this time, he didn't know how to express his feelings, a guy who didn't know anything about the book of soldiers, fought the biggest battle in the world! He's victorious! There was no need to doubt it, because he was already in the telescope and saw Wu Mei who followed.
"Li Jing, how is my husband!"
She asked with a smile and a cry, she personally reported the success for her husband, she wanted to send this information to Ah Fang in earnest, and she also wanted to write a letter to tell them that their daughter, your father, had won the victory!
"Actually, a year ago, my husband had already won the victory, and he killed 200,000! This is real data, and there is no such thing as false data! ”
Wu Mei laughed, as heroic as a man, at this moment, she felt that she was also extremely proud, extremely proud. She also felt for the first time that women, no matter how strong and powerful they are, but when the people around you succeed, how happy you should be!
Li Jing could only tremble his gray beard and watch Xiao Wu gallop on his horse.
All the way to smoke and dust, all the way to roar, all the way to pride.
There is no one in the world who dares to stop them.
From Gongyue City to Chang'an, it only took them two months to arrive.
They shouted hoarsely in their throats, and shouted alternately, but it didn't work.
But they were still yelling.
When the horse's hooves stepped on the gate of Chang'an, it was the last time the dusk drum sounded, Lao Wu Meng's war horse, the soldiers of the city gate, didn't even have time to open the door a little wider, their group had already crossed the horse, straight to the Vermilion Bird Street, to the palace!
Wu Ming almost crawled in front of Li Er and Li Chengqian.
Old Wu's horse's hooves were almost raised above his head.
Then they both fell to the ground, and then, in their hoarse voices, they burst their throats and roared.
"Minister, the commander of the Western Army, the general manager of the Longyou Road march, the deputy general of Liu Xu's subordinates of the Duke of Jin, Wu Youcai, kowtow to my emperor. Your Majesty, we, victorious, victorious! Slash...."
