Chapter 1090. Persistent Tibetan Zampu
In the next ten days, the court of Cessiphon obviously felt restless.
It is not the restlessness of the weather, although the two river basins in June are sultry, the sophisticated water system in the city still reduces the temperature to a level acceptable to people, and it is the people's hearts that are restless, although the war in the river is strictly kept secret by the middle palace, but from the recent more and more frequent mobilization of troops on the street, up to the princes and ministers, down to the common people and wealthy merchants, they are vaguely aware of some kind of disaster.
At the beginning of July, a carriage burst into Ctesiphon in this impatience.
The imperial study of the Grand Palace, the first time to leave the Manchu Dynasty civil and military twists and turns, Wu Meiniang didn't care about the usual demeanor of the palace steps, three steps and two steps quickly ran to the Lizheng Palace.
In front of the hall, there is an extra row of warriors, even Wu Meiniang has to inform before he can enter, the main hall with precious silk light yarn, the eldest grandson has already been there for a long time, and in the middle of the gorgeous Persian carpet, there is still a beard messy, hair tangled like a chicken nest, and an old man in his thirties who exudes a bad smell on his body, if it weren't for the fact that Changsun Chong was still wearing the official uniform of the four-grade Shaofuqing, and some people believed him to be a homeless man.
The threat of the eldest grandson really frightened him, in this era, although the South Seas were rich in products and the climate was warm, it was also a symbol of uncivilized, not to mention the seventh century, in fact, in the twentieth century, there were still cannibals on some islands in the Pacific Ocean such as New Guinea.
Tai Xifeng, the famous ancient city of Persian history and civilization, made Changsun Chong feel that it was a poor country, let him go to the place where he was eating people everywhere, it was better to kill him, people, and they were all forced out, this threat made Changsun Chong, a famous gentleman in Da Fujian, stunned for more than ten days from Tai Xifeng to Hengros City, and Changsun Chong, who has always been blessed, lost a lot of weight for this.
It's a pity that no one sympathizes with his hard work, full of anxiety, as soon as he came in, Wu Meiniang asked eagerly.
"Well, what's going on on the side of the river to the Metropolitan Protectorate? Where did the Tibetans hit, and did they attack the Hindu Kush Line? Where is the crown prince Li Jin again, and what is the attitude of the surname Zhaowujiu? ”
Seeing Wu Meiniang, Changsun Chong's face suddenly became a little strange, and even a little afraid, and he didn't say a word, until Changsun Weaving on the side also glared at him with annoyance, and this thing suddenly opened his mind as if a thing fell from a thing, and hurriedly poured boiling water and explained.
"Back to the two mothers, Tubo did not attack the Hindu Kush defense line, in fact, after breaking through the city of Hengros, the army of Tubo has been stationed there, Zhaowu nine surnames, except for the recent stone country fell to Tubo, the rest of the countries also support my Damin, the prince has arrived in Punjab from Yadongguan, but it will take some time to collect the government soldiers of the various Zhichong provinces in Punjab, after all, the main force of the government soldiers has almost been taken away by His Majesty............"
"How is that possible?"
Shaking her head in disbelief, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but turn around in circles with her hands behind her back, and analyzed to herself: "The lord of Tubo has been planning for a long time, and he has come to the country, and he even does not hesitate to fight in the same room, just for a Hengros who is thousands of miles away from the city? Even if it's rich there, it's more than worth the loss! ”
If you want to gain a foothold here, you must win over or conquer the local Zhaowu nine surnames and nomadic ethnic groups, but more than 20 days of precious time, Mangsong Mangzan wasted in Hengros City, neither coerced and lured Zhaowu Jiu, nor did he collude with the Tang Anxi Protectorate in the north, and invaded thousands of miles, what did Mangsong Mangzan want?
The unknown is the scariest thing! After thinking about it for a long time, Wu Meiniang anxiously grabbed Changsun Chong's collar and asked hurriedly.
"Have you seen the Lord of Tibet? Why did he want to fight my Da Min sword soldiers, and what did he want? ”
His face was even paler, and seeing that the two most noble women in Da Min were all staring at him like torches, Changsun Chong was even more stumbling, trembling for a while, and then stammered out the pseudo-ordinary man.
"Your Majesty has seen Tubo, the lord of Tubo, the lord of Tubo, I want to make peace with him in Damin, and then I will withdraw from the army!"
"Forced kiss?"
Wu Meiniang was really surprised.
To say that this thing Mangsong Mangzan's grandfather Songtsan Gampo also did, Zhenguan 12 years, Songtsan Gampo to the Tang Dynasty failed to ask for marriage, sent troops to the Tang Dynasty Songzhou, and even Songtsan Gampo once said wildly, the book and Tang Taizong said: "If you are not allowed to marry the princess, you should raise 50,000 male soldiers, seize the Tang Kingdom, kill Er, and take the princess!"
Not to mention the arrogance of Tubo, what Mangsong Mangzan is doing now is really the style of his ancestors, sending troops to force relatives, the problem is that between Min and Tubo, there seems to be some need.
Li Jin is the daughter of the Tubo clan, Li Jin is the prince, and the daughter of the Tubo clan will either be the queen or the concubine in the future, and the influence of the wheel will definitely be greater than that of Da Min and marrying the past clan girl, just like the daughter of a poor family marrying into a wealthy family, and the whole family will follow the borrowed light. Because of this, many times the Central Plains Dynasty would rather marry their daughters to ethnic minorities than marry the daughters of ethnic minority chiefs, also because they were afraid of the impact of this kind of chaotic government.
In other words, Tubo has definitely taken a big advantage, and it seems that it is a bit too much to ask Da Min to make peace with him so aggressively.
However, Changsun Chong's next words made the temperature in the whole room drop by two degrees, and in trembling, Changsun Chong continued tremblingly: "The lord of Tubo also clearly demanded that the lord of Chenxi County must be the princess of Heqin, and the deadline is one month, if Da Min does not reply, he should continue to raise troops to the south to crusade, cut off my Khorasan, cut off my eastern and western expedition soldiers' return route, and cut Da Min into two!"
I have to say that Mangsong Mangzan is still persistent enough, maybe it is the emperor's common disease, and he can't get it, the more he has to do everything possible to get it, but Mangsong Mangzan's persistence brings Wu Meiniang as cold as a harsh winter.
The pretty cheeks were gloomy like a ghost, and the muscles on Wu Meiniang's face were even twitching, who didn't know that Concubine Wu Xian only had a daughter, Li Chenxi, and her daughter and son-in-law in the future were probably her only support, seeing her angry appearance, even the eldest grandson felt a chill in her back.
"Nonsense! Who is he? also accompany the soldiers to Wei I Damin, marry the princess, the eldest grandson Chong, you are embarrassed to bring back such conditions? Someone, drive him out of the palace! ”
In the cold, Changsun Zhi hurriedly scolded angrily and loudly, and he also did not dare to offend the iron lady of the Damin Imperial Court, and Changsun Chong also ran out of the hall as if he had been amnestied, kowtowed and ran for his life, who knew that before he ran two steps, the feminine voice that seemed to come from the ghost behind him made him freeze there again.
"You say, with the defense of the Hindu Kush Mountains, can you resist Tibet?"
The eldest grandson Chong who asked this question was dumbfounded, looking at his stunned appearance, the eldest grandson weaving hurriedly glanced over and let him be vague, but the stakes were very high, in case he played the package ticket, but the Hindu Kush Mountain was attacked by Tubo, he Changsun Chong was afraid that it was not as simple as losing his official position, and after hesitating for a moment, Changsun Chong still had to tell the truth.
"Unstoppable!"
"The defense line of the Chenyou Mountain Range, Chengping in the river, the defense of the house is only 20,000 soldiers, Your Majesty is conquest of the West, the soldiers are outside, the domestic Zhichong Mansion is exhausted, the king of Fujian Tielin needs to guard the Yadong Pass, and the left and right prison guards also need to guard the Beijing Division, beware of Xiaoxiao, the prince leads 10,000 troops such as Punjab, and more than 10,000 troops are gathered in seven days, which is not enough to compete with the soldiers of the Tubo country."
"In addition, Zhaowu Jiu surnamed snake and rat at both ends, swaying, the newly appointed Anxi Dadu Protector Cui Zhi Debate Yin people are also coveted by the Protectorate of the River River for a long time, if Tubo colludes with the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, with the siege equipment of the Tang Dynasty, the fortress gable in the Hindu Kush Mountains may not be enough to borrow the spiritual cultivation of heaven and earth."
"The situation is in crisis!"
It's a matter of his own life, and he can't afford to let Changsun Chong not be solemn, besides, he is not a stupid person, but he is just too sloppy, Da Min's defense in Khorasan is only a circle, and he is almost assessed by him, regardless of Changsun Weaving's murderous eyes, he trembling and bowing to the ground, Changsun Chong finally said it truthfully.
Wu Meiniang obviously stumbled, and in a panic, Changsun Zhi hurriedly walked over, hugged her, and persuaded: "Sister Wu, don't worry, our Da Min has never had a precedent of exchanging women for peace, and my husband will not agree, my Da Min is so strong, little Tubo is not to be afraid, and I will never bring Morning Light and kiss Tubo!"
Who knew that after holding her head dizzily for a while, Wu Meiniang smiled miserably again and shook her head heavily.
"The women of the clan must always sacrifice for the country, this may be the life of the dawn."
"The last time the lord of Tubo, Chen Bingnai Tula, was also for Chenxi, this time he blatantly invaded Damin, and it was also for Chenxi, even if Tubo was repelled this time, the next time Tubo will continue to attack Damin in other places, if he is not given to him, Tubo will definitely not be able to give up! The King of Min was very ambitious, he also wanted to expand westward, the war could not be stopped in a year or two, we had to appease Tibet. ”
Although Li Jin pressed back Tubo's conditions last time, it doesn't mean that Wu Meiniang doesn't know, listening to her decision, Changsun Zhi couldn't help but persuade anxiously.
"But, Sister Wu, you are a daughter of Chenxi!!"
"Like you, I love him too! Love him recklessly! ”
Shaking up from the arms of the eldest grandson Zhi, leaving behind the few people in the Lizheng Hall who were looking at each other, Wu Meiniang staggered out of the door.
Seeing such a weak side of the Iron Lady for the first time, even Changsun Chong felt quite unbelievable, and was stunned for a long time, before he turned back timidly and asked Changsun Zhi tremblingly.
"Queen, what should I do?"
Mingmei's eyes rolled her eyes, and the eldest grandson also hummed in distress: "It's good that this palace wants to know what to do!"
also hesitated for a while, Changsun Zhi finally bit his lip and relentlessly, turned around and wrote a letter quickly on the side of the case, without waiting for the ink to dry, he hurriedly stuffed it into the palace's special secret bamboo tube, stretched out his hand and handed it to the stunned Changsun Chong, and hurriedly ordered: "Brother, you immediately take this letter and go to the Seleucian front line to meet the King of Min!"
"Leaving now?" I just rushed back from the Hindu Kush, and I haven't been sleepless for almost half a month, and my bones are hurting now, looking at the bamboo tube, I can't help but pull out a bitter gourd face.
"Sister, can you let me rest for a day!"
Glaring at him heroically, the eldest grandson simply hugged his arms and snorted coldly at her unsuccessful brother: "Sister Wu is just this one daughter, because you bluntly said that you have to marry to Tubo, I am afraid that the mother and daughter will turn against each other in the future, and if you don't pass the news to the King of Min in time, what the consequences, you can do it yourself!"
The woman's careful eyes could be felt clearly from her sister, thinking of the Iron Lady's anger, she shuddered and grabbed the bamboo tube, and the eldest grandson ran out of the palace with a wail.
Shao Fuqing's carriage sped away from Ctesiphon again......
