Chapter 122: The Great Breaking of Tuguhun
"Are you King Qin's man?" Li Xiu frowned when he heard Cen Wenwen's words, he was not surprised by Tuyuhun's invasion, after all, this was originally a matter recorded in the history books, and what he was concerned about was why Cen Wenwen knew about it?
Li Xiu reminded Li Shimin that not many people knew about Tuguhun, except for high-level people like Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, only Li Shimin's henchmen knew that Cen Wenwen was just a small merit test, from the official position of Wupin, it was one level lower than Li Xiu's sacrificial wine position, and it was not a high-level at all, so the only explanation was that he was Li Shimin's confidant, so it was possible to know the news.

"Hehe, Li Xianjiu misunderstood, I'm not anyone's person, I just hope that a famous lord will appear in the middle of the world as soon as possible, so that the people will no longer suffer from war, this is also one of the reasons when I persuaded Xiao Mo to surrender, but unfortunately His Majesty is really disappointed today, fortunately, there is also His Royal Highness King Qin, he will definitely become a generation of famous monarchs in the future!" Cen Wenwen said very calmly at this time, and his gaze at Li Xiu was also very clear, even so clear that people felt a little frightened.
"People have their own ambitions, Li Saijiu has a noble heart, and he does not want to get involved in the battle in the court, although he does not have the talent of Li Saijiu, but he has the blood to ask for the lives of the people, even if he falls into the abyss of no return, Cen will not regret even if he dies!" Without waiting for Li Xiu to speak, Cen Wenwen said again, and after speaking, he bowed to Li Xiu again, and then turned around and strode away.
Looking at Cen Wenwen in the distance, Li Xiu also had a look of admiration in his eyes, he couldn't be as noble as Cen Wenwen, but it didn't prevent him from admiring people like Cen Wenwen, there can be one less Li Xiu who has nothing to do in the world, but there must be no person like Cen Wenwen.
After Cen Wenwen left, Li Xiu was not in the mood to fish, and immediately packed up his things and returned home, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yuechan directing the four maidservants in spring, summer, autumn and winter to work, but compared to the past, Yuechan now looks a little haggard, and even the dark circles under her eyes have come out, it seems that she is still worried about the leakage of her identity during this time.
"Yuechan, you don't have to worry about that matter anymore, I've already dealt with it, master!" Li Xiu stepped forward with a smile, and then whispered to Yuechan.
"Really!" Yuechan was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then showed a surprised expression, although there was nothing to do for ten days in a row, but the fact that Cen Wenwen recognized her identity was still like a thorn in her heart, it was better during the day, and every night when she thought about it, she would have insomnia all night long, the spirit of the whole person was much worse, and she was a little lost in doing things, and now she finally heard the good news.
"Of course, with the master out of the horse, any problem can be solved!" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Great, thank you, sir!" Yuechan was so excited that she couldn't help herself, and even tears flowed out, although Li Xiu didn't explain too much, and he didn't say what he had done, but as long as Li Xiu said that the matter was resolved, Yuechan would choose to believe unconditionally, because Li Xiu was the only person she could trust in this world.
Seeing Yuechan's excited appearance, Li Xiu couldn't help but reach out and pat her little head and said, "Look at you, you must not have slept in the past few days, don't work, hurry up and go back to make up for sleep, everything will wait until you are in good spirits!" ”
"Hmm!" Yuechan nodded obediently when she heard this, and then happily ran back to the inner house to rest, but with her excited appearance now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to fall asleep.
Solved Yuechan's matter, Li Xiu also felt refreshed, he also slept well that night, maybe he really responded to the sentence that good things come in pairs, the next morning Li Xiu just had breakfast, and the princess usually took the initiative to visit, which made him happy to go out to greet him in person.
"Captain Li, there's news from Tuyuhun!" As soon as Princess Pingyang saw Li Xiu, she immediately said very excitedly.
"Do you already know about Tuyuhun sending troops?" Li Xiu said a little inexplicably at this time, Cen Wenwen had already told him about this yesterday, and the news came the day before yesterday, how could Princess Pingyang only talk to herself about this matter today?
"Giggles, the news of the dispatch came a few days ago, and I want to say that the news just arrived in the early hours of this morning!" Princess Pingyang said with some eyebrows fluttering at this time, it seems that it should be good news.
"What's the news?" As soon as he heard that it was new news, Li Xiu immediately asked eagerly.
"The second brother really lived up to expectations, he had already set a trap for the Tuyuhun people before, and as a result, Tuyuhun's 50,000 army attacked Fangzhou, Taozhou and other places, but he was ambushed by the second brother, and the 50,000 army was almost wiped out, and even Fuyun Khan was almost captured, and then the second brother waved his troops westward, and captured several big cities in Tuyuhun in a row, and looted them, Fu Yun was frightened and fled to the Qingtang area, after this battle, I am afraid that within ten years, Tuyuhun will not be able to make trouble for my Tang Dynasty!" Princess Pingyang said excitedly again.
"So fast, didn't the day before yesterday come the news that Tuyuhun sent troops, why did Tuyuhun lose so badly today?" After listening to Princess Pingyang's words, Li Xiu was surprised and a little incredulous.
"Giggle~, why is Captain Li so confused, the road from Tuyuhun to Chang'an is treacherous, and the battle report will take more than half a month on the road, so the news received the day before yesterday may have been a month, and the second brother knows the truth of the speed of the soldiers, since he has eliminated the main force of Tuyuhun, he will definitely not hesitate to cover the troops and chase them, and he will not give the other party a chance to breathe at all!" Princess Pingyang smiled when she heard this, sometimes Li Xiu was shrewd and terrible, and sometimes she always asked some common sense things, and people who were not familiar with it might feel very confused.
Li Xiu couldn't help but pat his head when he heard this, and shook his head with some annoyance, he forgot that he was in an ancient time when information transmission was extremely closed, and whenever this happened, he especially missed his Xiaomi mobile phone that could be barbecued by the way when watching a movie, but unfortunately now let alone a mobile phone, there is not even the most primitive telegraph, Li Xiu has never studied communication engineering or anything like that, and he never wants to make a telegraph or something like that in his life.
Next, Li Xiu inquired about the details of the battle of Tuyuhun again, and the battle report received by Princess Pingyang was also very simple, as for the more detailed battle report, it would take a few days, but Princess Pingyang was proficient in the art of war and was familiar with Li Shimin, so she could also deduce the movements of the Tang army from some limited information, and Li Xiu was also very impressed by this.
"However, although the second brother's march this time was quite smooth, and even almost the entire Tuyuhun was defeated, it was easy to defeat Tuyuhun, but it was even more difficult to occupy there, and my father was not ready to occupy the entire territory of Tuyuhun before, so I guess the second brother will choose to withdraw next!" Princess Pingyang finally sighed and analyzed.
"This ......" Li Xiu also felt very unwilling when he heard this, but reason told him that Datang did not have the strength to occupy the entire territory of Tuyuhun at all, and the current Datang was like a weak giant, although he had the strength to fight back the enemy's attack, but he did not have the strength to completely destroy the enemy.
For example, like this time, if you forcibly occupy Tuyuhun, then Datang will have to contribute people and money to strengthen its rule in Tuyuhun, and if you are not careful, you will have to face the resistance of the remnants of Tuyuhun, if you can't quell Tuyuhun's resistance in time, then Datang will be deep in the quagmire of war in Tuyuhun, and consume a lot of its own strength, and when the real strong enemy of the Turks finds an opportunity, I am afraid that Datang will also be in danger of destroying the country.
"Alas, it's a pity, but our Datang shouldn't quit Tuyuhun so easily, right?" Li Xiu finally shook his head, and then asked Princess Pingyang with some reluctance.
"Of course I won't quit so easily, in fact, after the court meeting this morning, my father discussed it with Pei Xiang and others, and prepared to make Murong Shun the Khan of Tuyuhun, and then we don't need to do it in Datang, just wait to see a good show!" Princess Pingyang smiled again, she has never been merciful to enemy countries.
"Murong Shun? Who is this person? Li Xiu was a little puzzled when he heard this, he felt a little unfamiliar with this name, but he couldn't blame him, he really didn't know much about the history of Tuyuhun, he only knew that they had attacked the Tang Dynasty, and then they were destroyed by the Tang Dynasty.
"Hehe, it's not surprising that Li Xiaowei doesn't know Murong Shun, this person is actually the son of Fu Yun Khan and the former Sui princess, and has always been established as the heir by Fu Yun, but in the Great Cause years, Murong Shun was sent to the former Sui as a proton, at the end of the Sui Rebellion, Murong Shun took refuge in my Tang Dynasty, and later his father let him Tu Gu Hun, but when he went back, he found that Fu Yun had set up other sons to inherit his position, which made Murong Shun very dissatisfied, this time the second brother attacked Tuyu Hun, and he was the first to surrender to my Tang Dynasty, Later, thanks to him leading the way, the second brother's attack went so smoothly. Princess Pingyang explained with a smile.
"I see, I didn't expect there to be such a reason!" Li Xiu sighed again when he heard this, in fact, what he didn't know was that after Li Shimin destroyed Tuyuhun in the history of his previous life, he also set up this Murong Shun as the king, but unfortunately Murong Shun's fate was not good, and he was killed not long after he became a khan, and he didn't know if his fate would be rewritten this time?
Just when Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang were discussing the war on Tuyuhun's side, a cavalry suddenly came outside the gate of Li Xiu's house, and the first person was like a crown of jade and a long body, it was Li Yuanji, His Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty.
I saw Li Yuanji holding a bow in his hand, and the guards behind him were immediately full of grouse, rabbits and other prey, looking like he had just returned from hunting, but the other party had no intention of returning to the city, but rushed straight to the door of Li Xiu's house.
