Chapter 407: Endless Hope (1)
Because the dead Queen Wang was a little embarrassed to the crown prince and Wang Fangyi, after all, Queen Wang was not his distant cousin, and they were very close.
This is Wu Zetian's power, if the queen is in power, with his talent, he would have become one of the powerful ministers.
I still admire it in my heart, this is not a circle on the map, oh, it took almost half a year to run 10,000 miles, and it was still a cavalry run. It's so easy, many places think they're great, but they just can't figure it out.
Greet Li Wei to Suzhou City. Along the way, Li Wei had a conversation with Wang Fangyi, and he was far away from the situation in the imperial court, and he didn't know much about it, so he probably knew something from the newspaper of the imperial court. Li Wei knew it in his heart, and he was a little chilled by the second child.
The joints can think clearly, and when it comes to seizing the heir, anything ugly can happen. For example, in later generations, Qin Hui harmed Yue Fei, without Zhao Gou's instructions, such a great hero, really dare to kill him on trumped-up charges? I'm afraid, I'd rather have half of the country than my father and brother coming back.
Another example is the mentality of the Wulu family.
How can you say that she ***? When she saw herself kill the Tibetan soldiers, she was equally heartbroken. If you don't save yourself, Zampu is dead again, and it is really possible for Qinling to return to some cities with this great achievement, and it is really possible to do anything. No matter how big Tubo is, even if it includes the Hexi Corridor, it is not her country, but it has become a ghost under the knife of Qinling, what is the point?
But it's very chilling, I'm good to this dick, if I want to deal with him, it's not like my mother, I've already let him flow into that***. Besides, but the life of *** ten thousand soldiers, his own negligence is part, but his intervention is the key, at least fifty or sixty thousand soldiers died because of this matter.
didn't say it, I didn't ask Lu Shi to leave before, but I was afraid that he would be righteous and would do bad things.
Thinking of this, I stroked the cloak on the ***, and I really missed it.
When he arrived in Suzhou City, he said apologetically: "After a while, let's take a look and see if I can allocate a batch of grain." But I still have to bother the king for a few days. ”
Even if grain is transported from Qinghai to Suzhou, the distance is not close. However, with 6,000 troops stationed, the daily consumption will be staggering, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for Suzhou, which has just suffered from a locust plague.
"Don't dare, Your Highness is too humble." Wang Fangyi said very gently.
The two talked all the way and fell in love. Of course, I don't dare to say anything from my heart, but I can still feel each other's appreciation.
Then start resting.
fled here, not only Li Wei, but even Li Jinxing also softened because of his relaxed spirit. I can't run anymore. Moreover, many soldiers were injured, injuries from various weapons, frostbite, and falls from climbing mountains and mountains, falling from horses.
Ten *** people were injured, including Li Wei, and their bodies were frozen in many places. It's not like the Lu family, who has been with Li Wei for so long, and he is safe and sound. This incident made the Wulu clan very proud for a while, how about it, do you still want to hit our Luo City?
A few others were seriously injured.
This has to be treated, for this reason Wang Fangyi will have a headache again, Li Wei doesn't care about it, and those who can work harder. In addition, it is to withdraw to Qinghai, Pei Xingjian thought of it, and Li Wei also thought of it. The Lun brothers are crazy and swear to themselves. Whether you come to attack Suzhou City, or cut off your own return from Zhangye Road, it is possible. But it doesn't matter either, Qinghai has Pei Xingjian in charge, and he won't be unexpected.
It's not calm, it's that it's very clear about its own positioning.
I don't know if I'm smart or not, but my IQ can't be compared with my mother, and my second can't compare with Wulu's, and I can't even compare with Pei Xingjian. It's not too bad, it's about the same as my father. The middle and upper assets, coupled with some knowledge of later generations, are outstanding. In order to escape, the whole brain is activated, and it is possible that even the gray areas in the brain cells are active. When I arrived, I didn't want to think about anything, I just wanted to get some sleep.
After crossing the Qilian Mountains, I had not yet reached Suzhou, but when it got dark, I prepared dinner, and then collapsed and slept with my head covered.
More than 6,000 people snored like thunder.
Wang Fangyi whispered to his subordinates: "All battalions are on guard, but the voice must be soft, whoever wants to alarm them to rest, someone will try to ask." ”
"Whoa!" The guards also went down quietly, but looking in the direction of the camp, their eyes were full of respect. This is a soldier who escaped from the hands of the number one god of war in Tibet, and under the siege of two or three hundred thousand troops, he traveled more than 10,000 miles. Aside from this miracle, there have been many bloody battles along the way, the battle of breaking the siege, the battle of Dafei Chuancheng, the battle of Hanwai Mountain, the battle of Maduo City, and the battle of Fuqiu Chengnan. How easy is it?
It was not only their Tang army, but also the group of Hu soldiers who accompanied them after hearing what had happened, and their eyes were full of horror and respect.
Obey, the most convincing people on the grassland are the strong, and this army is undoubtedly the strongest of the strong.
I slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then I got up.
Seeing Wang Fangyi ask his subordinates to prepare breakfast, Li Wei said apologetically: "I'm bothering the king again." ”
The attitude was very modest, Wang Fangyi hurriedly said: "Your Highness, you can't be so polite anymore, no matter how polite you are, the minister can't afford it." ”
But the goodwill in my heart has increased again. I thought it was no wonder that after hearing that he was under siege, the Qinghai soldiers wept bitterly, and even tens of thousands of people did not hesitate, so they prepared to go out from Chengfeng Ridge and fight hard with the Qinling. Change yourself, and I'm also excited.
Such a prince, once he ascends the throne, may really be the gospel of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Wei moved a little, but his body was still very soft.
Then when I arrived in Suzhou City, not only was my body soft, but even my head was empty. I really used my brain too much, and after two or three days, I remembered that I had to write a letter to my parents and several wives and concubines in the East Palace to report my safety. After writing the letter, I explained the process about once, and there was no detail written by Pei Xingjian. If you come out and make meritorious service, as yourself, you can't show merit, Confucian upbringing, introverted. Then the old rule, there are no other gifts, but you can bring out a lot of war horses, the waves wash the sand, these horses let themselves be ruined, or good horses, recuperate, every horse is good.
A dozen horses were selected, one for each person, his parents, and several wives and concubines, and as for these good horses, they were used for hunting or for pulling carriages, and it didn't matter. Then to the third and fourth, after thinking about it, the second child also sent one. In my mind, there is a sentence from the Lu family, lonely Fang self-appreciation, which is slightly ridiculed, which means that you have to pretend to be generous, noble, benevolent, and tolerant. Let the minister see, let the people see, anyway, after this war, you can't keep a low profile if you want to, so you simply push your limelight to the top. Then watch from the sidelines in Qinghai, make some small arrangements in secret, and sit and wait for the opportunity.
These four words contain so many meanings.
So Li Weit misses the Lu clan, not an exotic, he is in this position, he will either ascend the throne as he wishes, or run away, he can't retreat, and he will die if he retreats. The second child ascended the throne, will he spare himself with his current temperament?
This wish is not only needed by Di Renjie to do something for himself, Pei Xingjian to teach himself military knowledge, but also needs a master who is good at scheming. But this master, in addition to his mother, how many people in the world can match this Wulu clan who has grown up?
Why the Tibetans?
The horse and the letter were sent out. continued to rest, and when I heard that Heiya Changzhi led an army of 30,000 to greet him, his heart finally collapsed.
Zhangye's three roads were not easy to walk, and the Dadou Road was held by the Tang Dynasty army. With an army of 30,000, Tan Qinling had no choice but to sigh.
In late April, the army of the Black Tooth Changzhi finally arrived in Suzhou City, but Li Wei was stunned. 30,000 people is quite a few people, it's not surprising, but if you fight so far away, why is it so popular? The southeast wind was very tight, like red waves, undulating and surging.
Getting closer, the black tooth Changzhi rushed over, and shouted from afar: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness." ”
rushed over, and before the horse could stop, he turned over and got off the warhorse, his body was huge and heavy, and the armor was large and heavier, and with a "bang", the timid could startle him. Then he fell to the ground and shouted loudly: "The minister is guilty, guilty, he shouldn't listen to Li Jingxuan's command and hand over the army." ”
"You get up," Li Wei stretched out his hand, he definitely didn't have the ability to forcibly help him up, Wen Yan said: "General Heizhi, Gu also heard about some of your deeds, and Gu was very moved." ”
When the black tooth heard this, he suddenly burst into tears.
This is tears of joy.
Wang Fangyi stood by and watched, thinking in his heart that this was a real man.
After crying, he walked up to Li Jinxing again and said, "Thank you, General Li." ”
"How dare you, how dare you."
Li Wei then looked at the red cloak of the 30,000 army behind him, and asked curiously: "General Black Tooth, is this ......?"
"This is Pei Shilang heard that His Royal Highness wore a red cloak, so he asked the three armies to tie it together, it is really beautiful."
“……”
I touched my brain, and thought in my heart that if Lu didn't hear it, he would definitely laugh off his big teeth, but he didn't dare to reveal it, so he had to look at the 30,000 red cloaks, which turned in the wind very stylishly.
said goodbye to Wang Fangyi again, and said implicitly: "Wang Envoy, you are also a minister who is both civil and military. Suzhou has you, which is the luck of the west gate of the Tang Dynasty. ”
As long as you know what you know.
"Thank you," Wang Fangyi said with a warm heart.
The army meandered and finally returned to Shancheng, and in the distance, hundreds of people and soldiers came to welcome them. In the crowd, Li Wei was sharp-eyed, and he also saw Yeci Mingyue crowded in the crowd, he didn't understand, he guessed in his heart that it was not good to come forward on this occasion, and saw that the prince was looking at her, so he gave a big gift in the crowd.
It's quite quick to learn, and this gift has a bit of a Central Plains flavor.
But it's also not easy to come forward to talk, so I smiled and said hello.
Pei Xingjian greeted him and said, "Drumming." ”
The Tang Dynasty also had a military salute, not a later Western-style military salute, ordinary soldiers knelt down on one leg when they saw their superiors, and officials still met each other with officialdom etiquette, either beating their chests and arching their hands, which was regarded as a reward and encouragement from superiors to subordinates, or it was also regarded as an ordinary military salute.
However, there are many kinds of regular military salutes, such as the ritual of pro-conquest of God (the ancient Chinese gods, not the other God), the rite of the great shrine, the ceremony of suing the big temple, the ritual of the land of the conquest, the ritual of the gate of the country, the ritual of telling the mountains and rivers, the ceremony of Xuanlu, the salute of the generals, the martial arts, the field hunting ceremony, the shooting of the official salute, the observation of the official salute (one is the pro-shooting and the other is the observation of the shot), the expedition ceremony, the sending of the general to the temple ceremony, the worship of the Matsu ceremony, the first pastoral ceremony, the sacrificial horse society ceremony, the Heshuo cutting drum ceremony, the Heshuo Zhuzhou cutting drum ceremony, the Dawu ceremony, and the Zhuzhou county ceremony.
It stands to reason that a very solemn ceremony was needed to welcome the army back to Qinghai. But Pei Xingjian, thinking very clearly, just welcome it, just know it in your heart, there is no need to be too publicistic in Qinghai, so as not to be unhappy in the capital.
Drumming is welcome.
Then he came forward to salute and asked the soldiers to help the wounded soldiers off their horses, and many soldiers were still not well wounded.
Li Wei arched around and said, "The reason why Lone was able to return is also to thank you for fighting bloodily and dragging the Tubo army. ”
To tell the truth, since last winter, Pei Xingjian has been commanding the army to fight, in fact, the winter battle is not beneficial to the Tang Dynasty army. This battle was fought very fiercely, bringing out 180,000 people, except for more than 10,000 soldiers who did not adapt to the climate of the plateau and were sent back, including the soldiers who broke through by themselves, only about 80,000 people remained. So Pei Xingjian had to close the defensive line.
But if it weren't for himself, Pei Xingjian would not have needed to send troops in winter.
If you want to warm people's hearts, you have to be sincere. No one is stupid, and with those high-sounding words, it is counterproductive. The cadres of Qinghai were even more moved, and it was good for His Royal Highness.
Picked up back to Shancheng City.
The generals sat down, Li Wei came back, and he wanted to arrange the next plan, and now Qinghai has finally settled down, Li Wei is the main commander, Pei Xingjian is the deputy commander, and there is no situation where the second marshal is hindered.
Li Wei looked at the big map and said, "Pei Shilang has done a good job of closing the defense line." I've been fighting until now, and I don't want to fight. ”
Some generals listened to it inexplicably, could it be that the prince ran this time, and his courage was too small?
Seeing their questioning expressions, Li Wei said: "It's not that you don't dare to fight, it's that you don't need to fight for the time being." Ruo Gu guessed well, Tuyuhun basically collapsed this time, this is a great opportunity. ”
Yes, yes, Pei Xingjian smiled silently, but said in his heart, His Royal Highness has grown again, this idea is similar to what he thought, and he has obtained some of the essence of the art of war.
