readx; Fengxiang Mansion is a bridge connecting Guanzhong and Longyou, and is also the second largest metropolitan agglomeration in Guanzhong, where the city is vast, the land is fertile, the population is large, and it is one of the rich areas of the past dynasties since ancient times. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

With the Tang Dynasty began the close preparation of the Tang and Tibetan Wars, Fengxiang began to become busy, both sides of the Wei River are full of people pulling fibers, shouting a low trumpet, slowly pulling the heavy ships full of food and ordnance materials, going against the water in the Wei River, on the bank, there is also a huge force of grain transport, carriages, ox carts, pulling high grain and grass stacks, under the escort of the new army of Anxi, the mighty march westward, from time to time there are grain and grass convoys organized by various states and counties to join, It has gathered into a more powerful transport team, stretching for ten miles.

In the afternoon of this day, an army came from the direction of Chang'an, with 20,000 people, all of them were cavalry, they overtook the transport convoy from time to time, and drove in line on the wide road, in the middle of the team, this time Li Qing'an did not take a carriage, but rode on a horse, he was surrounded by more than 1,000 personal soldiers in the middle, and the war horse walked unhurriedly, this is Li Qing'an's return on the way back to Anxi.

Four days ago, Yang Yuhuan sent a text message to the host of the Cihang Academy, in which Yang Yuhuan politely refused Li Qing'an's invitation to let her go to Anxi on the grounds that she was not in good health and was not suitable for a long journey.

But as the team arrived in Fengxiang, the atmosphere of preparation for the battle became stronger and stronger, and the melancholy brought to him by Yang Yuhuan had long since disappeared, and all his thoughts were on the upcoming Tangbo War.

Just the day before Li Qing'an left Chang'an, Li Qing'an and Li Heng had an open and honest long talk, Li Heng promised to fully support Anxi's military war against Tibet, and at the same time sent the general Wang Sili to lead 40,000 Guanzhong troops to assist in the battle, and they would be stationed in Hezhou, Taozhou and Diezhou to prevent the Tubo army from breaking through the Longyou defense line from this area.

As a condition for supporting the Anxi Army, Li Heng also clearly asked the political hall to restore the balance of power, Li Qing'an agreed to his request, he resigned from the post of Zhongshu Men, and gave up a phase, and the political affairs hall after closed-door consultations, then reappointed Cui Jian as the head of the household department, and took over the phase given by Li Qing'an, because Cui Jian was one of Li Heng's three nominees, in this way, the political affairs hall restored the power structure of 331, so that the power structure that was already somewhat unbalanced was restored again.

Since the unilateral demands of the Tibetan envoys were explicitly rejected by the Tang court, this meant that there was no room for reconciliation between the two countries, and after the failure of diplomacy, war would inevitably come.

The 20,000 cavalry has been walking for three days, and not far ahead is the Fuzhi Yongxian of Fengxiang Mansion.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in front, and the soldiers around Li Qing'an hurriedly shouted: "General, look ahead!" ”

Li Qing'an put up the curtain and looked ahead, only to see a cavalry of the Anxi Army coming from the distance opposite, the number was not large, only about 3,000 people.

Li Qingxin was pleasantly surprised, could this be the army escorting his wife back to Chang'an? As soon as this thought arose, I saw a cavalry officer rushing over, it was Zhang Yongqing, one of his personal lieutenants, who was the leader of the escort army who was ordered to escort Princess Zhao and Li Qing'an's son back to Chang'an.

"General!"

Zhang Yongqing rushed to the front excitedly, he clasped his fists on the horse and saluted: "The last general guards the princess all the way, and I will give orders to the general!" ”

"Order?" Li Qingan smiled: "This hasn't arrived in Chang'an yet!" What is the order? ”

Zhang Yongqing scratched the back of his head, and said with anticipation in his eyes: "The last general wants to go to Longyou with the general." ”

"You send the princess back to Dugu Mansion in Chang'an Taipingfang, and I will allow you to come to Longyou to participate in the war."

Zhang Yongqing was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said: "The princess invites the general to the front." ”

"You kid, just get down to business now."

Li Qing'an scolded with a smile, urged the horse to the front of the team, stopped after walking a few steps, turned around and asked, "Where is Li Guangbi's army?" ”

"Returning to the general, we will go our separate ways from Dunhuang, and his army should have reached the Qinghai area."

Li Qingan nodded, and then rode towards the front army.

Because of the encounter with the escort of Princess Zhao, the Anxi army temporarily stopped, only to see that the front army had several carriages, full of large and small cages, in one of the widest carriages, his wife Mingyue was looking out of the window of the car, she suddenly saw Li Qing'an, excited to wave hard.

"Da Lang!" She shouted from afar.

Li Qingan rushed up like a gust of wind, held his wife's hand outside the car window, and he was also very excited: "I didn't expect to meet you here, I thought you had just crossed the Yellow River." ”

"I'm in a hurry to get back to Chang'an, it's true that it's a few days ahead of schedule, Da Lang, are you going to Longyou again?"

A trace of regret flashed in Mingyue's joyful eyes, Li Qingan nodded and said: "The Tang Fan War is about to start, this battle is very important, I have to go to the battle in person, I'm really sorry, I can't accompany your mother and son in Chang'an, but I want to rest in Yongxian for a day, and we still have a day to get together." ”

Speaking of this, Li Qingan looked into the car window again and asked, "What about the little guy!" Why don't you want to see me? ”

"He just nursed and fell asleep."

Mingyue carefully took the sleeping child from the nurse's hand, handed it to Li Qingan, and said with a smile: "Da Lang, be careful!" ”

Li Qingan carefully hugged his son, the little guy was less than a year old, he looked very white and cute, his face was ruddy, and he was sleeping sweetly, Li Qingan lowered his head and kissed him lightly on his small mouth, the little guy frowned, as if he was pricked by his father's beard, he suddenly opened his eyes, a pair of dark eyes looked at the strange man in front of him, he pouted, and suddenly cried loudly, crying loudly.

At this time, the surrounding soldiers gathered around, looked at the future master of Anxi, heard him cry loudly, everyone laughed, Li Qing'an Suo surnamed his son was held high, the soldiers cheered, and the shouts resounded in the sky.

Mingyue's carriage also turned around and followed Li Qing'an's team towards Yongxian.

．．．．．．．． With the Tang Dynasty began to prepare for the war in full swing, the preparation of the 200,000 Tubo army was gradually completed, this morning, the sky was exceptionally clear, a blue sky, outside the city, the low trombone echoed in the air, a team of fully armed Tubo soldiers began to line up to complete the army, more than 100,000 Tubo army black pressure at a glance out of sight, spears like a forest, long swords shining, after several years of preparation, the Tubo army built 200,000 pairs of chain mail and countless war swords and spears, military horses also reached 500,000, wheat, Barley, air-dried beef and mutton and other dry food were piled up in one warehouse after another, and war resources were gradually enriched, and the ambitious Tibetan army once again embarked on the road of conquering the East and the West.

But this crusade, there are different opinions within the Tubo State, the ministers Zanxie Duolun and Lunchi Zadacha oppose the war with the Tang Dynasty, they believe that although the national strength of Tubo has been restored, but it is far from the point of annexing the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty can not be swallowed, then the war with the Tang Dynasty is a waste of national strength, which is not conducive to the lasting strength of the Tubo, they suggest that they should recuperate for another ten years, and wait for the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, and then attack the Tang Dynasty, and the current need to ally with the Tang Dynasty to seek a peaceful political situation.

However, Shang Xi Dongzan and Dazarukong, who represented the military forces, insisted on sending troops, first of all, to recover the lost territory, and Dazarugong even pointed out that if the land of Tuyuhun was not recovered as soon as possible, ten years later, when the Tang people got used to the plateau climate, a large area of land there would no longer belong to Tibet, and it was time to wait.

The Tubo ministers, who had been patient for several years, all agreed with the opinions of Shangxi Dongzan and Dazarugong, and asked for immediate troops, but the young Tubo Zampu was not impulsive, he compromised the opinions of the two factions, and sent the Minister of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Dazan Dunsu to the Tang Dynasty, if the Tang Dynasty was willing to return the Jishi Mountain and the Yellow River Jiuqu area to himself, and restore it to the boundary of Tianbao's eight years, that is, the two sides were bounded by Chiling, then he could ally with the Tang Dynasty for another ten years.

Although Tri Song Dezan has sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty, but he has always been pragmatic and does not believe that the Tang Dynasty will agree to his request, at this time, Dazan Dunsu came from Chengdu to the news, the Tang Dynasty has been divided into the north and south of the two dynasties, the strong Geshu Han Department is no longer Longyou, Longyou is empty, this news made Trisong Dezan overjoyed, he immediately left the alliance reconciliation behind, sent the general Dazaru Gong to lead an army of 50,000 to immediately rob Jishi Mountain and Dafeichuan.

Today is his second time sending troops, and the general Shang Xi Dongzan will lead an army of 120,000 to the west.

"Woo~" With the low horn again, the city gate slowly opened, and a team of guards and ministers on horseback came out of the city, waving flags and covering the sky, at this time, the young Tubo Zampu Trisong Dezan appeared, he rode on a white horse of a divine horse, young and heroic, full of vitality, and his eyes were full of yearning for opening up the territory.

Accompanying him was the Tibetan general Shang Xi Dongzan, he was named the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, another general Shang Jiasu was named deputy general, the two of them will lead an expedition of 120,000 troops to Anxi, more than 100,000 Tubo troops saw their Zampu, they all knelt down, shouting Zampu's voice like a mountain and a tsunami.

Chi Song Dezan nodded with satisfaction, his smile disappeared, and he said solemnly to Shang Xi Dongzan: "The Tang people must think that I want to compete with them for Longyou, but they don't know, my real purpose is to seize Anxi, this time you take away nearly half of the army of Tubo, I not only hope to take Qiuzi, but also hope to occupy Tochar and Xinde, and provide a steady stream of food and resources to Tubo, General Shangxi Dongzan, I hope you bring me more good news than Dazaru Gong." ”

Shang Xidong praised him and bowed, and said: "Please rest assured that Zanpu will definitely make Tubo a great power that dominates the West, and he will definitely dedicate Li Qingan's head to Zanpu and sacrifice his soul to the old Zanpu!" ”

"Alright! You're ready to go. ”

The majestic horn sounded again, and more than 100,000 Tibetan troops set off, wearing chain mail, holding spears and swords, riding war horses, carrying grain and felt blankets behind the war horses, and tens of thousands of logistics teams, also following the main army to the northwest.

Trisong Detsen stood on the high post, watching the army go west, and at this time, his eyes turned to the east, and his shrewd little eyes flashed with a bright color, and he did not know what good news Dazarugon would bring him.
