Chapter 186: An Miao Extinguished
Every festive season, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year, the feelings of joy and sorrow will erupt in this season, Chang'an City because Gu Qingqing returned with the beauties she collected from all over the country, it seemed a little lively, but the palace became cold because of the news that Li Er was seriously injured by Gu worms, and the officials who entered and exited the Chengqian Palace tonight were obviously more urgent, and even persuaded Li Chengqian to prepare for the enthronement as soon as possible.
Although Li Chengqian is very eager to ascend to the supreme position, he is not a completely brainless person, at least he listened to the words of the East Palace Chief Shi Chu Suiliang to advise him, the more he has to be respectful to Li Er at this time, and it is ideal to succeed naturally without a power struggle, so tonight he rarely went to the eldest grandson's bedroom to ask for peace.
"The queen mother doesn't have to worry too much, the father and the emperor are in heaven, there will be no accidents, isn't it okay for Xiao Tai to be bitten by the most poisonous black spider Gu worm." Li Chengqian peeled a lychee sent from Lingnan for his eldest grandson, and sent it to her mouth to persuade her.
How could the eldest grandson, who still had tears faintly in his eyes, eat, a pair of white hands had already pinched the handkerchief in his hand into a ball, and sighed leisurely: "I hope so!" Cheng Qian! You are the eldest son of the queen mother, and the queen mother will never let people shake your position as the prince, but now the war of the southern expedition is not over, you need to be cautious in all aspects of Chang'an, only after this battle, I will rarely use the time to use soldiers after the Tang Dynasty, your father and the emperor have fought for you in the southern and northern wars throughout his life, you have to cherish it, if he really has any accidents, the queen mother will definitely go with him, and you must take good care of yourself and your younger brothers and sisters. ”
The eldest grandson said and tears flowed down again, trying to emotionalize Li Chengqian with relatives is the only way that the eldest grandson can use, in the eyes of a loving mother, the son will not be wrong, even if there is a mistake, it is good to know that the mistake can be corrected. Li Chengqian was able to come to see him today, which made her feel that this son was not carried away by his desire for power after all, but what she didn't know was that Li Chengqian was not as good as she imagined, and it was actually very tiring to hide the ecstasy in her heart and make a bitter and sad appearance, out of concern for this biological mother, Li Chengqian stayed here for half an hour.
Out of the eldest grandson's bedroom, Li Chengqian's guard of honor walked in the corridor through the palace, and at the end, it was Li Liqian, who had a hard time going out of the palace to play, came back happily. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the novelties on the market in Chang'an are changing with each passing day, and she bought a lot of them to honor the eldest grandson.
"Big brother, is there any news from the south that Brother God has bestowed?" Li Lizhen has reached the age of sensibility, and there are fewer letters to Chang'an after Yanglin arrives at Jiaozhi, and the battle report that is written every few months is also the first to be known by the court, so Li Liqin always asks Li Chengqian every once in a while.
"How. Want to get married? You're not old enough to leave the cabinet, he's fine! defeated the three grass kings of Jiaozhi, and occupied a lot of fields and grain, and the credit is very great! The eldest brother doesn't know what kind of official he will be appointed in the future. By the way, my father was seriously injured in Miaojiang, and my mother was sad! I am coming out of my mother's place, so go and comfort me. Li Chengqian touched Li Liqian's head with a slight smile and said with a smile. However, Li Lizhen's next words made his face change.
"Huh! Are you sure? Brother Tianzhu won't like to be an official! He had made arrangements in advance. Father Emperor will not be fine, just now I saw Wang Erxuan outside the palace, she said that Brother Tianzhu found some very powerful medical Gu masters to deal with An Miao's people from Lan Miao. There will be no danger for my father in the land of Miaojiang, at most before winter, the army will be able to march into the Nanzhao Departments, and next year will be able to triumph over the division, and then the opening ceremony of the heavenly and earthly building will be presided over by my father and him! "Li Li's innocent temperament and how to hide it, her current hobby is not only to find out the news of Yanglin here in Li Chengqian, but also to find out the news of Yanglin from the people of Wangjia Village, the ancients and women are good at everything, and they are all about their husbands, which makes modern people in later generations may be a little unbearable, and how tired a man should live without freedom and privacy!
"Is that so? Then you should go and tell the queen mother the news! Li Chengqian's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth, his expressionless face was now in a cold sweat behind him, and his heart was lost and unwilling, he was more willing to believe the news that Li Er was about to die, but reason told him, what Li Li said was true, with Yang Lin's thoughtfulness, he would not have thought that An Miao would use Gu poison to deal with important people in the Tang Army, especially the emperor, then he would have corresponding countermeasures to inform Li Er, because this guy is too godly, since he appeared in the Tang Dynasty, what he has done, There's not a single thing that isn't superhuman.
After saying goodbye to Li Liqian, Li Chengqian, who hurried back to Chengqian's palace, thought a lot of things in his mind, if Li Er was really a fraud, then who did he want to show it? Could it be yourself? What is the purpose of what he does for himself? Can he bear to attack his own son? And the words that the eldest grandson said, are they the heartfelt words of preparing to explain the future, or are they cooperating with Li Er to act in this scene? If everything is planned by Li Shimin, then he is really ruthless, he just took the opportunity to gather some ministers in Chang'an to stabilize his position as the prince, so that he didn't even care about the relationship between father and son?
Li Chengqian spent the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival in a flustered mood, and the news he inadvertently got from Li Lizhen made him finally decide to deny his overall plan, this night he seems to have grown up a lot, and the problem is much deeper, maybe his ways and means of fighting for power should be more subtle and deep, Li Er and Datang are now in full swing, and the patience for a few years slowly develops seems to be more reliable in his opinion.
In fact, Li Er's fraud is not entirely to see Li Chengqian's reaction, but also has the intention of tempting An Miao in the mountains to come out to fight, if Li Chengqian looks deferential and filial according to Chu Suiliang's construction, he is even about to get Li Er's approval, but unfortunately this unexpected discovery made him change his past style, but let the wise Li Er see something, the only possibility is that Li Chengqian knew that he was fraudulent, and became cautious. In this way, Li Er felt that he did not have much loyalty and filial piety to himself in his heart, and suddenly reduced Li Chengqian's score in his heart again and again, and Yi Chu's thoughts rose even more.
A conflict finally broke out in Yunan City over the water problem, and a series of conflicts followed, just when these conflicts were about to turn into a riot that the Tang army could not control, a heavy rain ended all conflicts in Yunan City.
Rain is also known as rootless water, no matter how powerful the Gu poison master is, it is impossible to poison it in the rain, and those Gu masters who came from the blue seedlings are quickly detoxifying those who have been poisoned by the water, the old men of the An clan knelt in the rain and cried, this war that was about to see the dawn of victory was completely defeated because of this rain, and the sky did not die in the Tang Dynasty, so that they could do nothing.
In order to cooperate with the mob and the rebel army in the city to launch a killing blow to the Tang army, An Miao gathered all the capable fighters to the vicinity of Yunan City, such a large-scale assembly naturally could not escape the eyes of the Tang army scouts, they who had the advantage would face a fatal blow from the Tang army at this moment, and Li Shimin would not give them another chance this time.
After the heavy rain, the mountains are not Miao or Han people can not walk, but tens of thousands of Tang troops rushed over, this time there is no terrifying Shenwei cannon, in the place where there is rain everywhere, not only the cannon can not move, but also it is difficult to fight, some are just wearing a thin cloth military uniform of the Tang Army, the knives and guns in their hands are light and sharp, not to deal with the northern cavalry, high-carbon steel knives do not need to be made into thick knives or machetes, awl-like blood grooves of military spurs are a good killing weapon in the mud, The momentum of the two sides is like a waterfall rushing into a torrent, and at first they become intertwined.
This hand-to-hand combat lasted for a day and a night, at dawn Li Er personally took tens of thousands of auxiliaries to clean up the battlefield, the well-equipped Tang army completely annihilated more than 30,000 young men of An Miao at the cost of more than 7,000 dead and 10,000 wounded, and in the bloody muddy pit, the leeches like bubbles that were sucked by blood were the only beneficiaries of this battle.
"Fire, I need a fire to burn here, I want their souls to not reach hell completely, I want to burn the slave character on the faces of the old and weak children of the An family, and I want them to sacrifice the domestic slaves of the soldiers for my Tang Dynasty for generations to atone for their sins that cannot be washed away."
The corpses of more than 7,000 Tang soldiers were sorted out from the mud pit like battlefield after a day, and An Miao's people who died in battle were burned on the spot, looking at the corpses all over the mountains, no one had a sense of joy of victory, this was the first vicious battle since the Tang Army's southern expedition, this vicious battle completely eradicated An's family, and also let the southern expedition enter the next link.
Yang Lin's fingers were trembling when he wrote the letter, he didn't know if what he did was right, also in the way of tips, Yang Lin wrote three long letters, one was for Chang'an, one was for Li Er, and one was for Wang Erniu to see for himself, the war with the Tubo people will break out after the autumn harvest, and he will spend about eight months from autumn and winter to next spring, he will spend the continuous war and killing, if he witnesses the tragic battle outside Nanyu City, he will hope that this ruthless war will end sooner.
"According to the set of regulations I wrote to you, you may go on the opposite side of the Tang Emperor, don't worry, it's not for you to rebel, and I won't be able to rebel, but I still ask you to think clearly before deciding whether to take it, once you take it, you will be burdened with a lot of things, you think about it first!"
Yanglin's Yan sù and Zhengse did not exchange for Wang Erniu's Yan sù and Zhengse, and Wang Erniu, who was nervous, took the three tips into his arms without thinking about it, and even couldn't wait to find a place to see the one that belonged to him. (To be continued......)
