Chapter 896: Escape
Outside the city of Hanzhong, there is a large camp, the camp stretches, there are tens of thousands of Turkic, Qiang and other ethnic minority warriors are locked up here, not far from the city of Hanzhong, dead a wide road, has been stretched to Chang'an City, this road is built by these people in front of them, for this road, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people paid their lives, it can be said that under this galloping road, almost every step is hidden the bones of the road builders.
That is, Li Xin, if other kings mobilize the people to build, then there will be more casualties, and I don't know how much people's power will be spent, and I don't know how many ordinary people will die here.
In a big tent, Ashina Simo has a full face and beard, his face is pale, his eyes are deep, and there is a bowl of minced meat in front of him, don't underestimate this bowl of minced meat, in the entire road construction army, for several years, Ashina Simo has never eaten, and now in the past few days, he can finally eat it every day. Not only him, but also a few pro-soldiers in the big tent can also eat some.
He didn't know the origin of the minced meat, but someone always sent it, and Ashina Simo ate it unceremoniously, he knew that it would not be long before there would be an answer. There is even a trace of excitement in his heart, the appearance of minced meat means that everything about himself will change. As for what will happen, Ashnasimo doesn't know. He felt that his body was gradually recovering.
He heard that there was an envoy from Tibet in the city, and the Tang Dynasty sent a high-ranking official Pei Lin to Hanzhong and was entertaining the envoy from Tibet, all of which had nothing to do with him. In other words, he should be grateful to Pei Lone, because Pei Lone also came to the prisoner camp, it was he who brought the gift of the Tang Emperor, gave some food, and could not treat the captives excessively, which gave some captives a chance to breathe.
"Brother Ashina. Long time no see. ”
A familiar voice suddenly came to my ears, but I saw the tent lifted, and a ragged man walked in, he lifted his scattered and dirty hair, revealing a familiar face.
"You, why are you here?" Ashina Simo looked at Qi He Li in horror, he couldn't have imagined that Qi Qi He Li would actually appear in the camp, which made him feel that everything had changed in an instant.
"Take you back to the Turks." Qi Bi He Li stepped forward and hugged Ashina Simo. didn't care about the stench on his body at all, it was Ashina Simo who used his life to give Qibi He Li a chance to survive. He Li doesn't know if he can live to this day with what happened to Ashina Simo.
"You are crazy, this is Hanzhong, there are still thousands of miles away from the Turks, you want to go back to the Turks, do you think Li Xin will let us go? How powerful his brocade guard is. Ashina Simo smiled bitterly: "I don't know how many people want to escape in the past few years, but what happened in the end." It's not that he was caught, his head hung on the gate, who else wanted to escape! ”
"This time is different, we have internal responses." He Li said proudly: "Li Xin is good. But there are many people who oppose him in Datang, otherwise, do you think you can eat minced meat every day? Otherwise, do you think I can go deep into the camp alone? Hehe, you underestimate these Han people. These Han people fought hard, but they also fought fiercely. This time, we didn't just have an internal response. There is also foreign aid. ”
Ashina Simo was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed: "Tubo people." His eyes were wide open, and he never thought that the Tubo people would also get involved, and looking at this posture, I am afraid that there has been a connection a long time ago, and the Tubo people who are gathering in Hanzhong City at this moment have long been in collusion with the Turks.
"Hehe, it's not Ashina Simo, it's the Tubo people." Qi Qi He Li looked at Ashina Simo and said with relief: "It seems that after several years of hard work, not only has your wisdom not regressed, but has improved a lot, it seems that we should thank Li Xin." ”
"Although there is the help of the Turks, if you want to escape Li Xin's pursuit, I am afraid that you still need certain means. How are we going to go? Ashnasimo said hesitantly.
"In a few days, the Tubo people will send a few people back to Tubo, and when the time comes, we will follow the envoy of Tubo back to Tubo, and then make a detour to Liangzhou, or the Western Regions, back to Turkic." He Li thought for a while and said.
"No, let's go to Chang'an." Ashnasimo said: "I heard that our Turkic envoys also came, and when the time comes, just find a way to follow our Turkic envoys back, it will be too troublesome to make a detour." ”
"This?" Qi Bi He Li hesitated a little, it was too dangerous to detour to Chang'an like this, in that place in Chang'an, any move might attract the attention of Jinyiwei.
"Don't worry, if you enter Chang'an, on the surface, it is under their surveillance, but in fact, it is more secure, Li Xin and they will not know, we will hide in Chang'an City. Moreover, if you let me get out of here, I believe there must be a backhand. Ashina Simo said with a smile: "Tens of thousands of people, a few dead people are nothing, for such a long time, I, Ashnasimo has been exhausted to death, it is also normal." Isn't it! ”
"Yes, if nothing else, tomorrow Pei Lin will order someone to come and record the names of the remaining captives, and at that time, Li Xin will know that the famous Turkic general Ashina Simo has died, which will be more conducive to your escape."
"That's very good." Ashina Simo is very happy, he can finally break away from the Tang Dynasty and return to the grassland where he was born and raised, Ashina Simo's thin body seems to be filled with endless power, which makes him eager to fly back to the grassland immediately. Then Xing troops marched south and defeated Li Xin.
In Hanzhong City, Pei Lian's cheeks were ruddy, his face was full of smiles, he looked around, his face was full of excitement, there were officials such as the prefect of Hanzhong, the governor, etc., there were also gentry in Hanzhong, etc., and even the captain who guarded the prisoner camp also rushed over, of course, there were also the Tibetan envoy Lu Dongzan and others, everyone gathered together, enjoying the song and dance in front of them, not happy.
Yes, he is just a Hanlin bachelor, and he is just a noble official in the court, but when he arrives in the place, it is not simple. However, no matter how much you stutter, the real purpose of coming here this time is not to see how these captives are doing, but to care about one of the captives.
Lu Dongzan looks tall and burly, but there is a fine light flashing in his eyes from time to time, which is enough to show that the young man in front of him is not simple, he looks only about thirty years old, but he is the prime minister of the Tubo country, which shows how this person's wrist is.
However, at this moment, his face was full of smiles, and this smile made Pei Lin feel uncomfortable, as if he had seen through something. After half a ring, I saw a man in Tsing Yi come to Pei Lone's side, and said a few words in Pei Lone's ear, Pei Lone nodded, his face returned to calm, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said to Lu Dongzan: "Lord Messenger, you and I have a drink together, I hope that my Tang Dynasty and Tubo can be reconciled forever, and there will be no wars from now on." ”
"I, Tibet, also have this idea, so as soon as Zampu unified the whole country, he asked the foreign ministers to come to meet His Majesty the Great Emperor and conclude an alliance." Lu Dongzan looked at Pei Lin with a smile and said. Although his tone is a little weird, Pei Lin can hear it very clearly, according to Lu Dongzan's speech, not only can he speak the Central Plains, but even Songtsan Gampo can also speak the Central Plains, which makes Pei Lin feel a little weird in his heart, when is the prestige of the Central Plains Tang Dynasty so powerful that even the Tubo people have begun to speak the Central Plains.
"That's natural, that's why the official will invite the envoy to the banquet today." Pei Lin was only stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and drank all the wine in the cup.
"Lord Pei, this time the foreign minister came to meet the Son of Heaven, not only to conclude an alliance, but more importantly, to ask for Zanpu to marry the Tang Princess, I am afraid that this matter still needs to be paid more attention to by Lord Pei!" Lu Dongzan said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty is only thirty years old, and there is no princess of the right age around you!" Pei Lin said with some embarrassment. He really wanted to promote this marriage, and even he believed that many people in the DPRK and China wanted to promote this marriage, but there was no way, Li Xin did not have such a daughter by his side.
"Huh! The clan is also okay, Your Majesty can be recognized as a sister and marry Tubo, and I will definitely treat the princess well in Tubo. Lu Dongzan said with a smile.
Pei Lian's face changed, and he recognized him as a sister and a daughter, the meaning of this is different, which shows that Songtsen Gampo and Li Xin are equals, and they can only meet the Son of Heaven as younger brothers, how can the Manchu Dynasty civil and military agree?
"What? Is there any difficulty in this matter? Master Pei. Lu Dongzan looked at Pei Lin with a smile and said.
"This matter, hey, I'm afraid it needs to be discussed by the ministers of the DPRK and China." Pei Lin didn't know Li Xin's decision, how could a woman from the Central Plains be used to make peace? This is a manifestation of cowardice, at any time, the Central Plains woman marries, and everything that accompanies the marriage may increase the strength of the other party.
"I believe that Master Pei will definitely help us realize this dream." Lu Dongzan glanced not far away, and a flash of anger flashed in Pei Lian's heart, that place was where the captain of the prisoner battalion was guarding, this was a naked threat.
"Isn't the Tibetans and the Turks? Why do you want to marry the princess of the Han family in the Central Plains? Pei Lin asked curiously.
"Hehe, marry and marry, fight and fight!" Lu Dongzan said with a smile.
"Shameless." Pei Lin snorted coldly in his heart, this Tubo person is so shameless, even Pei Lin is extremely uncomfortable in his heart, but thinking that he has a handle in the other party's hands, he can only nod and say, "Do your best!" (To be continued.) )
