Empress Changsun smiled and said: "Mu Shi, this kid is also a stubborn temper, I have to be the dean of Tang Yuan, I can't persuade her, so I have to let her be willful, who knows that she is full of talent, even Guozijian is impressed by her talent!" ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "This girl is like a hen, trying to guard the things left by the white boy and not let others break them." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info many industries in Chang'an City that originally belonged to the white boy, aren't they now made by this girl behind her back? was also made by her, and now even the expenses of the inner government are planned by her, not to mention, she can really save a lot of money every month. ”

Li Shimin and his wife were on the high-rise building, drinking tea and chatting at the same time, and they talked about white chess as they talked.

When Empress Changsun saw that her husband was going to talk about political affairs, she stood up and said to Li Shimin: "The concubine will go and make lotus seed soup for you." After speaking, he took Yingniang downstairs.

Li Shimin asked people to bring up all the information that had recently been transmitted back from Liangzhou, handed it over to Li Jing, Cheng Yanjin and others who were present to watch, walked to the edge of the railing with his hands behind his back, and looked at the students below who were saying goodbye to their parents.

Starting this year, Tang Yuan will implement a closed boarding system, with six days of classes and one day off. During the six days of classes, Tang Yuan will be completely closed, and all the students' learning and life will be carried out in the school.

Before leaving, Bai Qi had already handed over the development plan of Tang Yuan to Li Shimin, hoping that he would agree to expand the scale of Tang Yuan and find a suitable hill on the side of Taoyuan Village near the Qinling Mountains to build a larger Tang Yuan. Now this plan has been completely handed over to Su Mushi, and she is in charge.

Bai Qi mentioned in the plan that he hoped that Tang Yuan could provide a variety of talents for Datang. For those physics, chemistry, biology and other courses, Li Shimin has already received relatively satisfactory answers from Li Tai. These subjects, which I have never heard of, are a tool for exploring the origin of this world, and they are also a channel for mastering the power of the gods such as wind, thunder, and lightning. This made Li Shimin very excited, such as the heavenly thunder, grenades, and those strange unnamed things in Li Tai's laboratory, which had already made him a little fascinated.

It's just that the kid white chess seems to like to be a shopkeeper very much, and as soon as Tang Yuan opened it, he ran far away, leaving things behind his back, regardless of it. Fortunately, Cheng Qian, Qingque and Mu Shi can still help them take over this stall, otherwise they really want to catch that kid back!

The students in the square entered the Tang Garden one after another, and the teacher in charge of accommodation led them to their dormitories to prepare for moving in. Seeing that the gate of Tang Yuan was slowly closing, the adults in the square also began to leave quietly in an orderly manner, and the parents of those students stood on the square, standing on tiptoe, as if they wanted to take a closer look at their son, but they were blocked by the tall outer wall, and finally they could only leave with the ambivalence of loss and excitement. After a while, the square became as quiet as usual.

Li Shimin turned around, looked at the people who were reading the intelligence letters, and said with a smile: "This Tugu is tired of being a border trouble, and now he is jumping up and down, very restless. Now, Murong Fuyun wants to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but Fengqu thinks that this is just a delaying tactic by the other party, hoping to send troops to strengthen the defense of various border passes. Tell me what you think. ”

Li Shimin and his old civil and military courtiers were on the Tang Garden, and when they were debating whether Tuyuhun was really surrendering or falsely admitting defeat, in the far northwest of Chang'an, the rat took his three subordinates and ran in the direction of Shancheng at the fastest speed in the starry night. At the same time, the messenger of the King of Tianzhu rode the dragon horse of Tuyuhun's most divine horse, and after almost no time to rest, he also ran wildly all the way, and finally came to the Tuyuhun military camp stationed less than fifty miles away from Shancheng before dawn on the fourth day.

"General Xiao, this is a letter from the Heavenly Pillar King!"

The messenger handed the letter to Xiao Xintian, who was stationed here, and said tiredly.

Xiao Xintian, who was wearing armor, was a middle-aged man, with a full beard, his skin that had been blown by the wind and sand all day long looked very rough, his eyes were deep-set, and his big eyes were just staring, as if he was ready to rage at any time. His nose was a little down, his lips were thick, and his body was very thick.

Xiao Xintian opened the letter, quickly browsed the contents, folded the letter after reading it, ordered someone to take the messenger down to rest, and then asked someone to summon the deputy general.

"General, what did you call your subordinates for?" Not long after, the deputy general walked in from outside, saw Xiao Xintian sitting at the table, and bowed down and asked.

Xiao Xintian handed the letter in his hand to his lieutenant, and then said, "You first look at the letter from the Tianzhu King. The king wants us to launch an attack on Shancheng as soon as possible in the next few days, and it is best to be able to take Shancheng down! ”

The deputy general is also a middle-aged man, he has not repaired the edge for a long time, he is also full of dust, he quickly read the letter and handed it back to Xiao Xintian, and asked suspiciously: "General, we have also dealt with the Qiu Tiger of Shancheng many times, these days, we and the opponent have always been evenly matched, and no one can suppress anyone." This time, the king asked us to take Shancheng, I'm afraid it's not so easy to do! ”

Xiao Xintian put the letter in the brazier, and watched the letter being completely consumed by the fire until it turned into ashes, he raised his head to look at his henchman, and said slowly: "That's why I said 'it's best' to take it." The king should have his considerations in doing this, but we also have to do what we can. But this time, the meaning of the famous king seems to be stronger in the past, so let's add some strength, what if we accidentally take Shancheng? ”

Xiao Xintian laughed as he spoke. He shook his head, patted the adjutant general's shoulder and said, "Qiu Laohu is also very familiar with us, and now those tactics are all things on paper, and the only thing that can be used is surprise!" Arrange it to go down, tonight, all siege the city! ”

"Yes, General!" The deputy general gave Xiao Xintian his hand and retreated to implement the specific details.

Xiao Xintian walked out of the house slowly, looked at the sky above his head, and saw that the night sky was like a wash of clear water, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and the cold white moonlight sprinkled down, spreading a layer of white light veil on the earth. He took out another piece of letter paper from his bosom, which was sandwiched in the burned letter just now, which was a letter that the Heavenly Pillar King had specially left for Xiao Xintian alone.

Looking at the promise written by the Heavenly Pillar King to his own son Xiao Wolf above, his eyes looked at the moonlight on the ground a little distantly, and he sighed after a long time.

He grasped the letter paper tightly in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, got up and went back to the room, threw the paper into the brazier, and whispered to himself: "What are you going to do, famous king?" Is it really going to be against the Khan? Hopefully I made the right choice this time......"

Outside Tuyuhun's camp, from time to time there were scouts from Shancheng, they were a few miles away from the camp, riding there and boldly looking at the situation in the camp, after a while, the soldiers in the camp who were uncomfortable finally shouted "ahhhh

When the scout saw that the other party had come out, he grinned and pulled the reins, and ran back in the direction of Shancheng. Such a drama was played out every day, either outside Shancheng or in front of the Tuyuhun camp, and the soldiers on both sides had become accustomed to this kind of surveillance.

Seeing that the scouts from Shancheng ran all the way back to Shancheng, the Tuyuhun soldiers who followed behind saw the other party running back to the city, so they had to spit on the ground at the other party, and then turned their horses around and left.

The scouts in Shancheng reported to their superiors that there was no major movement in the Tuyuhun camp as usual, and the defenders guarding Shancheng were secretly relieved when they heard the scout's report. Less than ten days ago, they had a battle with Tuyuhun's army, and the other side was still the one who wanted to take the city, and the other side was still guarding the city. The outcome of the battle was the same as before, Tuyuhun left his corpse on the ground and retreated, while he was the victorious side.

It's just that every time the soldiers see the dead brothers, their hearts are always filled with sadness. Because they don't know if it will be their turn to die next time, many of them can occasionally see a confused gray in their eyes.

"Cheer up!" Qiu Laohu led people to distribute steamed buns to the soldiers guarding the city wall, and saw a young soldier drooping his head and yawning constantly, so he kicked it gently.

The young soldier opened his eyes, quietly dodged the kick of the autumn tiger, and quickly snatched the white steamed bun from the other party's hand, regardless of the hot air floating on the steamed bun, took a big bite, and then was burned so that his face was red and fluttering.

Qiu Laohu laughed, patted the young soldier's shoulder hard, looked at his young face, and said seriously: "Young man, remember, from the moment you stand here, you will take on the life of this Shancheng person. So, your work is very big, and your responsibilities are also very important, please don't get distracted, be sure to cheer up! ”

The young soldier listened to Qiu Laohu's words, his eyes gradually took on a different color, his whole waist straightened unconsciously, and he stood up straight and shouted to him loudly: "The subordinates know that they are wrong, there must be no next time!" ”

Qiu Laohu smiled and patted the young soldier on the shoulder, asked the others to give breakfast to the other soldiers on the city wall, and stood on the edge of the city wall, looking at the Tuyuhun soldiers in the distance, his face was solemn, and there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.

After dealing with Xiao Xintian so many times, he knows very well what kind of person the other party is. The fact that there was not the slightest movement in Tuyuhun's camp did not mean that the other party did not have the desire or preparation to attack the city. Even if the two sides only fought ten days ago, who could know that Xiao Xintian was not secretly preparing to attack the city again?

Shancheng is far away from the rest of the Tang Dynasty, and it is alone in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, where the soldiers have experienced a hundred battles, but it also makes Shancheng a lot more old, weak, sick and disabled. Many of the brothers who came here with them back then, how many of them are still safe now?

War is a crucible of life, and how many people have thrown their lives into it, just for the firm belief in their hearts!

The patched city wall under the soles of the feet is stained with the blood of many people, and these blood stains have long been part of the city wall of Shancheng and can no longer be washed away.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the horse leather shroud was returned! Qiu Laohu looked at the white of the fish belly gradually coming out of the east, the hair on his forehead was blown up by the wind before dawn, he breathed a breath of fresh air with enjoyment, glanced in the direction of Chang'an with pride, and then turned around and continued to patrol the situation of the fortifications everywhere.

The hot weather is the theme here all year round, the sun on the plateau is extremely scorching, the defenders on Shancheng basically have to change a batch every two hours to avoid sunburn, and occasionally you can see tornadoes hovering in the distance, and the flying sand in the sky blows along the wind from afar, so everyone covers their faces, showing only a pair of eyes.

The four rats wrapped themselves up, walked and stopped in the wind and sand, observed the surrounding situation from time to time, looked up at the sun in the sky, carefully identified the direction, and walked firmly towards Shancheng.

When the sun went down, they finally walked out of the range of the Little Gobi and looked at the city in the distance. The four of them glanced at each other, with happy expressions on their faces, and after walking for so many days, they finally arrived at their destination!

The horses of the four had been lost in the Gobi period, so they rested in place, replenished their food and water, and carried their backpacks and galloped briskly in the direction of Shancheng.

When he was on a high ground on the road, the mouse's eyes suddenly saw the black crowd below, so he waved his hand and motioned for the other three companions to stop.

The four of them lay down and looked down, only to see a huge camp a few miles away, and at this time, the Tuyuhun soldiers inside were gathering in armor and coming out of it, ready to march towards Shancheng.

The mouse's face changed for a moment, and then he made a look at the other three, and the four of them quietly crawled from the ground for a long distance, and then quickly got up, and then quickly ran towards Shancheng.

"Convinced, the little marquis is really a god, and he really fought at this juncture!" The rat shouted as he ran: "Hurry up, we must reach Shancheng before Tuyuhun and them, and tell the defenders over there the news!" ”

The four of them used their strength to eat milk, and ran towards Shancheng with all their might.

In the distance behind them, Xiao Xintian sat on the horse, hiding his various bodies under the armor, revealing only a pair of blazing eyes, looking at the direction of Shancheng, waving the big knife in his hand vigorously, and shouting: "Sons, tonight, swear to take Shancheng!" ”

"Drink! Take the city! The spears in the hands of more than two thousand soldiers fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

"Let's go!" Xiao Xintian shouted loudly and rushed to the front, and behind him, the black-pressed soldiers followed closely behind, mighty. (To be continued.) )
