Du He hid in the dark, looking at the martial arts master who had been trapped by Yao Chi, and the most worried thing in his heart also disappeared.

It's just that he doesn't know a little in his heart, Bi Longxiu, as the eldest son of Xiangxiong Kingdom, why would he take this risk stupidly?

In fact, this is Duhe's loneliness, not all countries are like the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, believing in the primogeniture inheritance law. Just like www.biquge.info the West, the power of Western religion is greater than everything, even higher than that of the imperial power. In order for a king to succeed to the throne, he needs to kneel before the pope and accept the pope's appointment.

Xiangxiong was a little surprised by this, but it was not much different. It's just that Western countries believe in God Jesus, while Zhangxiong believes in ghosts and gods, and their sect calls it Bon. Heavy ghosts and gods, Xi Bu Wu, believe that all things have spirits, there are gods in the sky, and the gods are the most respected. Mountains have mountain gods and mountain demons, and trees have tree spirits. There are dragons in rivers, lakes, mountain springs, and underground. If a person has a plague or a disease, it is caused by sinning against the gods and demons.

When Bi Longxiu was born in his early years, it snowed heavily, the snow peaks collapsed, and more than 10,000 people of Xiangxiong were buried under the snow.

Although the king of Zhangxiong did not treat Bi Longxiu badly because of this, he had no intention of passing the throne to him. If it weren't for the mediocrity and incompetence of the second son, the king of Zhangxiong would have abdicated the throne long ago.

Originally, Bi Longxiu still had some hope, because he was two hundred and five, but his younger brother was eight hundred and five, far inferior to him, but the rise of Yaochi made Bi Longxiu feel the pressure, Xiangxiong did not object to women being kings, two hundred years ago, there was a history of queens.

Therefore, although Bi Longxiu is the eldest son and the heir in the first line, the possibility of inheritance is very small. In the end, under the temptation, he embarked on the road of no return.

This is impossible for Duhe to understand as an outsider.

Of course, he doesn't need to understand, it's just out of human curiosity and crankiness.

Under the guidance of Yao Chi, Du He secretly had a meeting with the king of Zhangxiong Kingdom.

King Zhangxiong was already sick, and now because of Bi Longxiu, his spirit is even worse, but he still fights hard to meet Du He, the general of the Celestial Empire.

The meeting was very simple, King Zhangxiong politely expressed his admiration for the Tang Dynasty, and then thanked Du He for his help.

Du He also expressed the importance of the Tang Dynasty to the ally of Zhangxiong as an ally in his capacity as a general of the Celestial Empire, telling him that the Tang army would definitely make the Tibetans pay the price for their actions, and also revealed his determination not to destroy the Tibetans and not to give up.

King Zhangxiong's face was also flushed at this time, he stood up and said in a rough voice: "Admiral, rest assured, although my Xiangxiong country is not good, even if I do my best, I am willing to help the Tang Dynasty." ”

Tubo invaded his country, destroyed his homeland, and let the cheap maid seduce his son and make his son commit treason. This made him hate Tubo to the extreme. In my lifetime, I can see the destruction of Tibet, and I will laugh out loud in my dreams.

At the same time, the Elephant Hung King, who has been running out of time, is making a final effort for his country.

Today is not what it used to be, and the current Zhangxiong is no longer the overlord of the past, because of the invasion of Tibet, the loss of strength is so great that it is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Today's Zhangxiong has reached the point where everyone can be bullied, several surrounding countries, none of them are good, Zhangxiong wants to survive in this environment, and it is inseparable from the support of Datang.

Now fully cooperate with Datang, Datang will inevitably remember this support, and Xiangxiongguo will also be treated differently.

Duhe understood King Zhangxiong's intentions, and he did not have any objection to this. This is a win-win situation, Xiangxiong cooperated with the Tang Dynasty and supported the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty reciprocated the favor and gave Xiangxiong convenience. It is precisely because of this relationship that they can have a long-term relationship.

Du He said bluntly: "My Datang will not let go of any enemy, nor will I treat any ally badly, everything that King Xiangxiong has done today, Du will definitely tell His Majesty truthfully." ”

When King Zhangxiong heard this promise, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "As for how to deal with the current situation, I will ask the general of the Heavenly Empire to discuss with the little girl, and I have entrusted the future of the Xiangxiong Kingdom to her." ”

There is no rule that a woman cannot succeed to the throne in the country of Zhangxiong, but there are some unwritten rules in the world, such as the preference for sons over daughters. King Zhangxiong didn't love Yaochi, but after all, a woman would marry someone with a foreign surname, and he couldn't inherit the bloodline, and he didn't intend to let a woman inherit the throne, but now he had to do so.

"Father?" Yao Chi didn't know what to say, she didn't have the heart to fight, but she couldn't sit back and watch the Xiangxiong Kingdom be destroyed, so she gave orders and stepped forward.

King Zhangxiong has made up his mind, so he will not allow Yaochi to say more.

Du He and the others did not stay long in Qionglong Silver City, and after a short stay, they rushed to Pingdu Pass.

As the commander of the three armies, Yao Chi can deploy troops and horses at will, change defenses, and leave a gap for Du He to infiltrate, which is a breeze.

Under the cover of night, Du He didn't spend much effort to sneak into Yaochi's camp. Smelling a large tent with a fragrant smell in his nose, Du He looked a little restrained.

Yao Chi is also strong and calm, without any sense of calmness.

Feeling a little embarrassed, Yao Chi found a topic and said: "Father asked me to fully cooperate with your actions, the Tubo army is now standing still, how should I fight to help you break the enemy?" ”

Du He immediately replied: "I don't know about this, I have to wait." I don't know anything about the current situation in Tibet, and I don't know who led the troops or how many soldiers and horses there were on the other side of the Pingdu Pass. There is no way to prescribe the right medicine. My men are already gathering information, and it will be time to get the news, and the decision will not be made until then. ”

He has multiple plans in his heart, but because he doesn't know the enemy's situation, he doesn't know whether the enemy will be wise or mediocre, reckless or quiet, and it is difficult to decide.

"It's not early, so let's rest early. It's only been a few days of leisure, and after a while, the war is together, and there is no chance to rest. As he spoke, he walked over to the mazar in the tent and leaned sideways, indicating that this was his bed.

Yao Chi wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, quietly took off his clothes and put them into the quilt.

After a long while, Yao Chi said softly, "Have you slept?" ”

Du He just narrowed his eyes and immediately replied, "What's the matter?" Didn't you? ”

Yaochi said: "It must be very cold, otherwise, you will also *** come to sleep, the bed is very big, and half of us are one and a half." ”

"Uh......" Du He hesitated, "This is not appropriate......

Yao Chi said: "When it's very time, don't care about so many pulls, wear your clothes together, it's not in the way." ”

"Okay!" Du He compromised, Shi Shiran came to the bed, and found that the bed was not as big as expected, but the two of them were almost perfect, and they were okay if they squeezed it. I already came to the bed, and I couldn't refuse, so I got into it carefully.

After a while, Yao Chi said again: "The clothes are stalking, I can't sleep, or take off the clothes?" I can't see ...... anyway."

"Okay!" Du He hesitated for a moment, and then removed his clothes.

After another moment, Yao Chi suddenly shuddered.

"What's wrong again?" Du He asked aloud.

"Come closer, it's a little cold." Yao Chi said, putting one side of his delicate body next to Du He, and continued: "Aren't you Tang people sitting still, called Liu Hehui, as long as you don't cross the line, it's nothing!" ”

Du He suddenly felt that he didn't know when he had become a little Lori who was teased and manipulated by the 'strange uncle', and said in his heart: "This is playing with fire, the realm of Yanagi Megumi is not something that everyone can achieve......"

Satisfied, Yao Chi leaned his head on Du He's shoulder and fell into a deep sleep.

But Du He lost sleep, and kept counting the sheep, wandering between the beasts and the beasts.

In the end, I didn't do anything, and I fell asleep in a daze.

Du He is used to sleeping with his wife in his arms, alone, that is An'an, but there is one more person beside him, and he is a woman, so he is ignorant, and he is not so peaceful.

**********

Outside the city of An.

The Tang Dynasty's Northern Expedition army had already pulled down its camp on the periphery and set up a position.

Li Daozong looked at Anshi City from a high place and felt that it was a little difficult to do.

The army of the Tang Dynasty, after entering the territory of Goguryeo, can be described in one word as "overwhelming".

The vanguard general Su Dingfang led a group of tiger and wolf divisions, connecting the four cities of Xuansu, Hengshan, Gaimu, and Momi, and confronted the 20,000 main forces of Goguryeo under the city of Momi.

The Jiesheng army, which had not seen blood for a long time, screamed and crushed Goguryeo, almost annihilating them, forcing Goguryeo to constantly retreat and defend to the death.

Li Daozong took advantage of the momentum of the great victory and took down all the cities of Baiyan, Beisha, Maigu, Yinshan, and Houhuang, and finally came to the outside of Anshi.

Anseong Fortress is the strongest fortress on the way to the hinterland of Goguryeo, and it is also the only way to go.

Historically, it was because of the danger and difficulty of attacking this city that Li Shimin was forced to withdraw his troops.

Li Daozong was deeply aware of the method of warfare, and he could see at a glance that this city of Anshi was not as easy to deal with as those cities he encountered some time ago.

"Assault is not the way to go...... Your Majesty did not have enough time to make siege equipment temporarily, and should use earth mountains to shorten the gap between each other, and use crossbows to suppress the broken city. ”

Li Daozong muttered to himself, thinking about the method of Kecheng.

At this moment, Su Dingfang hurriedly came and reported: "The chief manager, there is a person from outside the camp, saying that he was instructed by General Qinglian to come to see the chief manager. ”

Li Daozong was suddenly surprised, and quietly asked Su Dingfang to invite someone in.

The person who came was Xuanyuan Tian a year ago, because Li Shimin was stubbornly resisted in Anshi City in history, and Du He also knew that Anshi City would definitely become the biggest threat to the Western Expeditionary Army.

When the Tang Dynasty had not yet sent troops, Du He had already arranged for the Xuanyuan clan to move into Anshi City to prepare for the capture of this fortress.

Today is the time to use force.

When Li Daozong got the good news, he made a decision and made an arrangement, and together with the Xuanyuan family, he joined forces with the outside world and ended up in Anshi City.

Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City and the first general under Yuansu Gaiwen, let the fierce general Xue Wanche kill with one shot. The Tang army officially opened the gateway to attack the hinterland of Goguryeo.
