Chapter 1099. On the eve of the decisive victory

After crossing the Syr Darya, with the road built by Damin, the speed of the team was obviously much faster, and in only three days, they arrived at Kushuijingzi Town, which was not far from Hengros City, and in another day's journey, they could hand over with the Tubo people.

Anyway, for a few days in a row, the team and the pro-team did not encounter any more trouble, and the sand thieves and Xiangma were obviously less than if they entered the core jurisdiction of the Hezhong Metropolitan Protectorate, and there was no serious incident like Song Jing almost sneaking into the inner camp three days ago.

At night, the soldiers who sent each other and relatives set up camp in the bitter water well, because they could return to Ctesiphon tomorrow, and the sergeants were also a lot more relaxed, and their steps were a little brisk during the patrol.

Li Chenxi's car, the county lord who didn't get out of the car for three days, the sad flute floated out of the window from time to time, and the nearby scene was a little bleak, but when he came out of the inner camp, as an ambassador of harmony, Xiao Sheng was still quite refreshed.

Old Xiao Sheng was in his sixties back then, and when he was young, he experienced the last glory of Nan Chen, and experienced the Sui and Tang dynasties.

It is actually a very cost-effective political deal to throw away the love and affection of the King of Min for his children, and then throw away the vain things about the dignity of the face of the big country and the dignity of the men, so as to win over Tibet with his relatives.

Tubo is located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, whether to the east or west, the towering terrain can always give Tubo the upper hand, advance and retreat can be defended, condescending is not fake, and Tubo's unique position in the center also makes it occupy a pivotal position in the political game between Min and the Tang Dynasty.

Tubo fell to Damin, from the Anxi Duhufu to the east, Longxi, Liangzhou, Songzhou, Jianzhou, and the territory of the Tang Dynasty that stretches three provinces and eleven states will be under threat.

But if Tubo falls to the Tang Dynasty? The situation will be completely reversed, from the Hezhong Prefecture to the long Himalayan border, and then to the Indochina Peninsula, and half of Fujian will not be able to sleep steadily.

Last time, Tubo only borrowed the road to Chang'an, and almost destroyed the Great Min, although the seven orifices of qi were smoking, but they were as belligerent as Li Jie, and never opened their mouths to capture the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the advantages of Tubo can be seen.

In the Western Han Dynasty, Princess Xijun and Princess Xie Wei successively married six generations of Wusun lords, thus transforming Wusun from a loyal vassal of the Xiongnu to an important ally of the Han Dynasty, and cutting off one of the Xiongnu's arms in the Western Regions This precedent is vivid, it is rare that the lord of Tubo is so possessive of the lord of Chenxi County, why not marry the lord of Chenxi County, so as to control the lord of Tubo in the hands of Damin, why not?

In terms of political leanings, Xiao Shengke is very happy to facilitate this.

There were a little laugh lines on his white forehead, leading the officials of the Heqin delegation out of the camp, preparing to go to the Tubo royal court to meet Mangsong Mangzan, Xiao Sheng's steps were a little brisk, but when he passed through that gap, he looked at the dark camp of the Great Min Forbidden Army, and suddenly remembered something, Xiao Sheng suddenly grabbed Xiao Qi, the captain who was guarding at the gate of the camp, and ordered with great solemnity.

"Tonight is the most important night for the envoy with his relatives, take good care of the Lord of Dawn, and there must be no chaos!"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Sheng continued to explain: "No matter who dares to hinder peace and relatives, anyone who plots against him will be killed!" ”

The order of the murderous Senran made Xiao Yan also nod solemnly, and carefully ordered on the spot, and the core forbidden army hidden behind the Heqin cart pulled out their knives one after another, and the crossbow arrows were also poured out of the bag, and they were clamped on the glue of the sleeve and ready to top the steel crossbow at any time.

However, the direction in which the crossbows are pointing is the outer camp of the same robe!

After the arrangement was completed, Xiao Sheng nodded with satisfaction, and led more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple all the way to the outside of the camp.

Regardless of the military attachΓ©s, almost all of them chose to ride horses in the Tang Dynasty, showing a heroic martial style, and Lao Xiao Sheng was no exception. Ten Praetorian Guards cavalry carried spears hanging pennants on their shoulders to open the way, Lao Xiao Sheng and the officials of Heqin stood in the center with their heads held high, followed by more than 20 horsemen of Da Min Iron Cavalry, even if it was Heqin, Da Min was also majestic.

The horse's hooves ran messily across the gravel paved road in Kushuijingzi Town, making a messy kicking sound, watching Xiao Sheng and his party stay away from the door, close to the town house of the barracks, a sturdy figure pushed the door open and wanted to wipe it out of the barracks, just a few steps away, but the other clean and slender hand suddenly pulled his shoulder and pulled him back.

"How long will it take?" Anxiously stretched out his hand to the old Xiao Sheng, who was getting farther and farther away, and lowered his voice Song Jing was still like a lion, roaring anxiously: "That's Xiao Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, tonight they are discussing with the Tubo people how to sell the morning light!" If you don't do it, you won't have a chance! ”

"If you don't dare, get out of the way, I'll go myself!"

Seeing Song Jing's roar, Li Shoucang, who was stopping at the door, showed a helpless expression, and after shrugging his shoulders helplessly, Li Shoucang suddenly asked in a hurry: "Brother Song, have you thought about it?" How to bring the Dawn County Lord out of the 1,500 well-trained forbidden army, especially the 400 Black Forbidden Legion? ”

The muscles on his face were stirring, Song Jing turned his head sonorously and pointed to the huge military camp behind him, and said bluntly: "As long as you can blend in!" ”

"The forbidden army is not very strict with the Tang people's own people, Chenxi and I have both received military training, use mercenaries to create incidents, attract the attention of the defenders, find her to change into the armor of the forbidden army, you can definitely get out!"

"That's what you want?"

Li Shoucang looked like he had been defeated by you, and shook his head even more helplessly: "Let's not talk about whether it can be as smooth as you say, are you really so confident that the Lord of Dawn will definitely follow you?" And in chaos, if something goes wrong, you will definitely be able to protect her safety? ”

"Alright! Brother Song, if you are really so confident, I will give way, anyway, I will wait for the horse to ask for money, if you can lead away the main force of the forbidden army, we will be a little easier. ”

A little profligate, Li Shoucang really let go of the door, but these two sentences, but Song Jingyu, who asked these two sentences, hesitated for a moment, and then asked gloomily in embarrassment: "But tonight is the last chance!" I'm afraid that tomorrow morning, the Heqin delegation will be handed over to the Tibetans! How long will it be? ”

"You don't think that anyone will do it under the nose of the Tubo army, will the Tubo people and the forbidden army guarding it think of it?"

Listening to Li Shoucang's rhetorical question, Song Jing's dim eyes finally lit up, glanced at Li Shoucang's indifferent face, and nodded slightly, Song Jing turned around and went straight back to his room, following the moonlight from the window, he could vaguely see him lying in his clothes, leaning against the door and closing his eyes.

Li Shoucang nodded with satisfaction again.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, the handsome eldest grandson suddenly hurriedly touched in from outside the small courtyard, and whispered and hurriedly narrated in Li Shoucang's ear: "The scene has been surveyed!" Pei Xingjian and Cheng Boxian are also ready, but Ling Huqian has not returned to the United States, and the attitude of Zhaowu Jiu is not completely clear. ”

"Hmph, I can't help them, my Great Min rules the river, these Sogdians pay at most some tribute, and they get more from us, but the Tubo people are here, and the little family they have now has to be plundered, and once the fight starts, they can't help but send troops."

In the past three days, Li Shoucang has looked like a wanderer, vaguely with a bit of ruffianism, but at this moment, a fierce domineering spirit has emerged spontaneously, and the arrogant eldest grandson Fu has to bow his head sincerely.

"Of course, we can't bet all our luck on the poor sanity of these Sogdians, transfer some Tubo sergeants from the army, disguise them, go to the United States, and plunder the Kang Kingdom, create some trouble, and also give a little reminder to those lords who are full of brains."

Waving his hand fiercely, a wave of pleasure was inadvertently revealed on Li Shoucang's young cheeks, and he didn't care how many innocent people lost their lives under his order.

After another order, Changsun Fu turned his head and planned to do it, but as soon as he took two steps, he turned back hesitantly, glanced at Song Jing's hut, hesitated, and admonished Li Shoucang.

"Your Highness, why do you have to take this stunned person with you? This person doesn't know the roots, but it's good to talk big, and with him, I'm afraid it will ruin His Highness's big things. ”

"Talking?" After asking rhetorically, Li Shoucang suddenly shook his head with a smile. [^Myo~Pen~Pavilion*]

"I'm afraid he hasn't said a big word until now."

"With him as a pariah, how can the Lord of Dawn take a fancy to him!" A little unconvinced, Changsun Fu opened his mouth to plead, but Li Shoucang suddenly stared at him seriously, and asked aggressively: "What if it were you?" If you are alone, you have to rescue the Lord of Dawn from the hands of the two great powers of Damin and Tubo, and from the hands of more than 1,000 forbidden troops, do you dare? ”

Under the pressure of momentum, Changsun Fu couldn't help but take a step back and shook his head. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Li Tecang nodded with a smile and said, "Just this point, if I were a woman, I would also fall in love with him."

"Besides, this old boy has more than one advantage, he has amazing determination, there is no hope just now, he would rather risk ten layers of danger, but he has to give it a try, but Lone gave him a little hint, and he can decisively accept persuasion, go back to rest, recuperate, there are many reckless generals, and there is no shortage of cautious veterans, but it is rare to have such an impromptu response as him."

Looking at the hut with appreciation, Li Shoucang smiled confidently: "I have a hunch, I'm afraid that tomorrow's victory or defeat will have to be pressed on him."

In this regard, he nodded noncommittally, and the eldest grandson Fu hurriedly went out to run an errand. Seeing through the door that Song Jing seemed to be asleep, Li Shoucang couldn't help but stretch his waist and raised his head with emotion.

"Hey, tomorrow, what a day! I'm looking forward to it. ”
