Li Shimin said with a smile: "Su Dingfang's secret music for me." The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info very much appreciated King Liang. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said with a smile: "That's good, in the past few years, His Royal Highness King Liang has really not disappointed everyone." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "I sometimes feel strange that the abominable three evils in the past suddenly became a useful talent, surprisingly good, and brought too many surprises to Datang." He said that he had a teacher, but no one had seen him, so he really didn't know where this child learned this skill? ”

Li Jing said: "Congratulations to the emperor, he is your son." You are the Son of Heaven, wise and martial, and your son is naturally also heroic. ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Brother Jing, you old guy, it's rare for you to joke with me." ”

Eldest Sun Wuji laughed, and suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and a trace of worry flashed on his face, but he hid it well and returned to normal in an instant.

However, all this did not escape Cen Wenwen's eyes, he remained silent, but his heart became alert.

On April 16, the Tang Army camp in Yumen Pass.

In King Liang's tent, Su Dingfang said with some concern: "There is no news from Honglu Temple yet, the army has been stationed here for a long time, and sooner or later the news will leak out, you see, do you just send troops directly, don't wait for them any longer." ”

Li Su said: "Wait a minute, let's do it in advance, the people of Honglu Temple are worried about their lives." Besides, even if the news leaked, they couldn't tell what we were going to do, and besides, I now have a new idea. ”

Seeing King Liang so calm, Su Dingfang's heart also calmed down. He asked, "Your Highness, what new ideas do you have?" ”

Li Su said: "You see if this will work......

Su Dingfang said excitedly: "This is great, if this is the case, the Western Turks will be even more unguardable, and the ministers are sure that they will be able to take the royal court of the Western Turks with a surprise attack." ”

When he said this, he frowned again and said, "However, this is very different from the original tactics of the imperial court, will the imperial court agree?" ”

Li Su said: "Outside, the king's order is not affected." I am alone in this matter, and you are only acting on orders. ”

Su Dingfang said: "Okay, since His Royal Highness has decided, the minister will go and prepare." After saying that, he left the camp of King Liang.

He said to the deputy general as he walked: "This King of Liang is not only a good brain, but also decisive, and he is indeed a handsome talent. ”

His lieutenant said: "Yes, last time in the royal court of the Tiele Ministry, if he hadn't stopped the people of the Tiele Ministry in time, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to get out of there alive. ”

Su Dingfang said: "Last time that Zhao Dashan, I thought he must have no way to live, who would have thought that His Royal Highness would save him safely." It's not easy! ”

The adjutant general said: "I heard that His Highness saved the elder who was shot and wounded, and only then did he exchange it for Zhao Dashan." I don't understand, how can His Highness still heal the sick?! ”

Su Dingfang said: "Hou Shuai (Hou Junji) is so shrewd, he is optimistic about His Royal Highness King Liang and married his only daughter to His Royal Highness......"

The two whispered and walked away.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, King Liang camped in tent.

King Liang was talking to Du He, Yang Kang came in excitedly to report, and said, "Lord Wang, here, Tang Zhengqing is here." ”

Li Su stood up and said, "Where is it?" Come in, please. ”

Yang Kang glanced at the yarn picker and said, "Please avoid the yarn girl first." ”

Cai Yarn was very well-behaved, and she didn't ask why, so she said, "Lord, I'll go in first." With that, he walked into the back room.

Soon, Tang Fei came in. Li Su almost laughed out loud when he saw it. I saw that his face was yellow and hungry, and he was wearing only a pair of pants, and the few attendants with him were all like this. It seems that he has suffered a lot.

When Tang Fei saw King Liang, tears fell, and he said, "Your Highness, the minister almost won't see you." As he spoke, he began to cry again, as did the others.

Li Su instructed Yang Kang to take them to change clothes, eat, and take a bath.

An hour and a half later, Tang Fei and the others came to King Liang's tent. At this time, Su Dingfang and others also rushed over when they heard the news.

It turned out that after Tang Fei left the Western Turkic royal court, they were worried about being followed and watched, so they did not come directly to Yumen Pass. After walking out of the three-day journey, and after they were sure that no one was watching, Tang Fei asked the delegation to continue to return to Chang'an, and he rushed desperately with a few retinues to Yumen Pass.

Along the way, they hurried desperately, for fear of delaying the major event of sending troops, and they really suffered a lot. The most uncomfortable thing was that just when they were about to rush to the Yumen Pass, they encountered a horse thief.

Tang Fei was worried that he would not be able to reach Yumen Pass on time, so he ordered that he was not allowed to resist, handed over his weapons and belongings, and as a result, even his clothes were stripped naked. The horse thieves were not bad in the end, and they didn't want to be eaten by wolves on the Gobi, so they left a carriage and a spear, and finally came here safely.

Tang Fei then reported on their envoys to the Western Turks, as well as the envoys of other Honglu Monastery missions to neighboring countries. It can now be concluded that the Western Turks did not have any precautions against the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, he had just won the victory of unifying the Western Turks, in order to consolidate the results of the victory. The main forces of the Western Turks were stationed in the newly defeated places, and the royal court was empty, with less than 10,000 troops.

However, there are about 20,000 troops stationed in Hami.

The situation was clear, and Li Su decided to take action immediately. That night, the army marched out.

Yumen Pass. It was first placed when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty opened the road to the Western Regions and set up the four counties of Hexi, and was named after the Western Regions when importing jade from here. In the Han Dynasty, it was the gateway to all parts of the Western Regions, so the site was in the small square city in the northwest of Dunhuang, Gansu Province. Yuan Ding or Yuan Fengzhong (116 BC-105 BC) built the Great Wall between Jiuquan and Yumen, and Yumen Pass was established.

Liangzhou words: "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains." Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. "Wang Zhihuan (Tang Dynasty)

After a night's march, the army left Yumen Pass.

Li Su looked out of the car window, there were still some trees in the Yumen Pass, and outside the gate was a desolation, occasionally you could see some low grass, among the rocks, stubbornly resisting the seemingly never-ending strong wind.

The army marched day and night, all the way along the edge of the desert. Their destination was not only unexpectedly by the shrewd Khan of the Western Turks, but also by Li Shimin and others.

What was originally a campaign against the Western Turks turned out to be a war that swept across the entire Western Regions.
