Chapter 37: On the Eve of the Fall of the Turks

The cold winter of Chang'an gradually passed, and the woman of the big family painted a whole winter plum blossom picture in the house and finally completed, and the micro-ink drops on the painting paper were lifelike, like a plum blossom standing proudly on the ice and snow.

Open the window, hang the plum blossom picture in the attic, and announce the fading of winter and the arrival of spring to the whole of Chang'an.

Chang'an, the imperial city, the Liangyi Palace.

"Zheng Aiqing is flat." I saw Li Shimin dressed in a dragon suit, with a turtle and crane incense burner behind him, and a golden flag case, and he sat upright on the huge gorgeous dragon chair newly cast in the Liangyi Palace, with a kind of momentum that looked down on the world.

This kind of dragon chair was written by Xu Yang to request the production of zuò when he wanted to establish the prime meridian in the past, with Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.

Navigation needs coordinates, and if you want to determine the origin of the coordinates, you must first determine the prime meridian, as the emperor of all things, Li Er's ass is naturally the origin of the earth.

Li Er was also very happy with this kind of thing bestowed by the monarchy, and he actively ordered the craftsman to place a throne on the Liangyi Hall that would never move, so the huge dragon chair inlaid with various gems that Li Er was sitting under his ass was born.

"Thank you." I saw an old man in a scarlet robe standing under His Royal Highness, who seemed to be very old, with a long white beard, holding a jade plaque in his hand, and seemed to be very excited.

"Aiqing, as Hongluqing's envoy to the Turks, can you gain anything?" Li Er asked seemingly casually.

I saw that as soon as the old man heard Li Er's inquiry, he immediately stood up straight, and seemed to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden, and said: "Rong Di is in rise and fall, and he is dedicated to sheep and horses. Today, the Turkic white plague, the people are hungry and the animals are thin, and this is a sign of death. It's only three years. ”

When Cheng Yanjin, who was standing next to him and participated in politics, heard this, he immediately stood up with a laugh and said with a happy face: "Your Majesty, the Turks are dead on this day, and we will take the opportunity to send troops, and there will be no more Turkic troubles." ”

When Wei Chi Jingde heard this, he also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is a good time that is rare in a hundred years, if you don't levy it at this time, he will not raise tigers in the future." After that, he knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general asks for his life, and he is willing to conquer the Turks in person." ”

Li Er's brows twisted into a pimple, for the Turks, he wanted to destroy it more than anyone else, the shame of Weishui often played out in his dreams, but there was always a voice in his heart telling him, now is not the best time.

Shangshu's left servant shot Fang Xuanling saw Li Er's entanglement at a glance, and stood up with a jade plaque, "Your Majesty, the country was initially decided, the treasury was not full, and now the Tang Dynasty has quelled the civil strife, and it is still said that the financial resources are not as good as the Sui Shi, and the minister thinks that now it is necessary to think about it in the long run, and he must be guilty, and then ask for it." ”

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Er's brows eased significantly, and then at this time, Li Jing, who had been silent in the court, stood up rarely, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Turkic White Disaster can be said to be the root of its destruction, if the minister is not mistaken, Guigu Xu Yang Zeng said that this winter Turks will have a heavy snowstorm that has not been encountered in a century." ”

As soon as Li Jing's words fell, the court suddenly became silent, if according to what Xu Yang said, then this winter is the best time to attack the Turks, and even be able to eliminate the powerful Eastern Turks who pose the greatest threat to the Tang Dynasty.

The needles in the court can be heard, only the heavy breathing of the ministers can be heard, the shame of Weishui brought by the Turks they have personally experienced, for the arrogant Eastern Turks, every courtier is eager to devour their flesh and blood, and now the white disaster of the Turks is more and more reflected in what Xuyang Guiguzi said, maybe next year will really be the day of the fall of the Turks.

Li Er's expression changed, no one knew what he was thinking, only heard him say in a loud voice: "Wei Guogong Li Jing listens to the order"

"Obey orders." Li Jing's eyes flashed, and he knelt on one knee under His Royal Highness and said aloud.

"Spread my will, write to Liang Shidu, make a plan in winter, punish Shi Liuwen, the governor of Xia Prefecture, Sima Liu Lan to achieve a near picture, Li Jing will lead 10,000 elite soldiers after the autumn, and next winter, I will let the Khan in the street know that I am a Tang Shenwei!"

"Minister, obey!" Li Jingqing's muscles burst out, clenched his fists and replied loudly

Mobei, the Great Tent of the Eastern Turks.

"Great Sacrifice, this time to stop the peace between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Turks, they actually didn't encounter any resistance?" I saw a tall man wearing a beast skin jacket, sitting on the king's chair of the big tent, and asked with a puzzled face, he was the Turkic Jieli Khan.

"Returning to the Great Khan, indeed." I saw a Turkic priest with a face smeared with various paints and said happily, "Great Han, this time Ye Hu Khan's tricks can be regarded as all overturned, Tengger God is above, although our Eastern Turks have experienced a heavy snowstorm, but the loss of manpower is not large, the soldiers who lost cattle and sheep are eager to rob, this time from the Western Turkic greeting team, not only killed the true pearl commander Hou Jin and Gaoping Wang Daoli, but also plundered the gold belt of the Ten Thousand Nails Treasure Book and five thousand horses. ”

Jie Li Khan's brows furrowed even deeper, and he asked, "Did Ye Hu say anything about this guy?" ”

The priest said triumphantly: "Ye Hu Pseudo Khan is extremely cowardly, our Eastern Turk envoy told him to welcome the Tang princess, and he must pass through our country, but he is in trouble and does not dare to marry." ”

Jieli Khan's brows eased slightly, and he said, "What about Datang, how many people died in their escort princess this time?" ”

The priest laughed exaggeratedly: "The Khan doesn't know, those Tang Dynasty soldiers are now very afraid of war, and they ran away when they saw my Turkic battle banner from a distance, which really made me laugh at it." ”

The Khan of Jie Li was a little frightened and said, "Have you ever pursued? I am afraid that this is an ambush by the Tang army. ”

When the priest heard this, he smiled even more: "The big Han doesn't know, this Han soldier is also extremely stupid, he didn't lose his armor when he pretended to escape, the ruts were orderly, and his subordinates saw through the tricks of the Tang army at a glance and did not order the pursuit." After that, he leaned forward to the tent a little carried away.

Jieli Khan didn't care about the behavior of this sacrificial Yu Yue, but frowned, I don't know what I was thinking, the atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty has become more and more weird recently, Liang Shidu was originally friendly with himself, and he also accepted the wolf head given by the Turks, and was named the Dadu Viga Khan by Shibi Khan, the son of heaven, but now this guy is gradually alienated from the Turks, but he is a little close to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, as well as Shi Liuwen, the governor of Xiazhou, Sima Liu Lancheng, these people originally led the army to force the Turks many times not to dare to invade the border, But now they all retreated, as if they were waiting for something.

What exactly are they waiting for? The Khan sat in a sheepskin chair, puzzled

"I'm rubbing, what the hell is this?" I heard Cheng Chumo scream and crawled out of the haystack on the riverbank.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yang and several soldiers quickly surrounded him, only to see that from the grass hole that Cheng silently drilled out, a thick short hair wrapped in soft brown slowly crawled out, with a flat head and no return. The limbs are very short, the five toes have hooked claws, the toes are webbed, resembling duck feet, and the beak is extremely wide and flat, and it is attached to the head like a mask, resembling a duck's beak.

"Platypus!" Xu Yang had only seen photos of this animal from books before, but he didn't expect to see it today.

Cheng Chumo also said with some trepidation: "Lao Tzu was just cleaning up the weeds next to the riverbank, and suddenly saw this thing coming out of the grass, I was really shocked, big brother, do you know this thing?" ”

Xu Yang had already taken out his mobile phone at this time, roughly scanned the introduction of the platypus Baidu, and said: "Well, I don't know much, there is a small poison sac behind the claws of this thing, everyone be careful, don't be caught by it." ”

As soon as everyone heard that this thing was poisonous, they immediately dispersed in a circle, and the sergeant who protected Cheng Chumo even pulled out his sword.

"This thing walks very slowly on land, but it moves relatively fast in the water, it may have made its home here, and it was disturbed by the silence and came out to defend its territory." Xu Yang said lightly, for those who run slowly on land, the threat has always been high.

"You guys, bring it to me with special gloves, I'm going to collect Australian animals, and I don't have this platypus. Lao Tzu wants to raise it. When Cheng Chumo heard this, he immediately ordered these sergeants to capture this platypus.

After hundreds of millions of years, neither extinction nor much evolution, always wandering in the "transition stage", full of mystery, this platypus that is unique to Australia in the world, was innocently caught by several Tang sergeants wearing heavy armor and full body protection.

The poor platypus let out a duck-like quack, and at once there were many 'ducks' quacks from the haystack, but they were clearly childish.

Xu Yang said with a smile: "It's okay now, and I also caught a nest of small ones." ”RS
