The Spring Festival has passed, the lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival have been read, after the dinner, a few paragraphs of beautiful conversations have been added, and Chang'an City, which has been lively and festive for half a month, has restored its former peace, the life of the common people, how to live and how to live, although I heard that Tubo is in transgression, but the people are not worried.

The national strength of the Tang Dynasty is thriving, the country is rich and the people are strong, there are many generals, Li Er and a number of famous generals are still in the year of fighting, so they don't take it to heart, after the tea talk, the people discuss the most is, are those guys in Tubo crazy, that Songtsan Gampo is a toad who wants to eat swan meat, Zampu of a small country actually beat the idea of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, can't eat it, and even twisted it up, and some "big tongue" people speculate that this year is colder than in previous years, the snow is too big, and the bark of those Fanzi trees in Tubo has nothing to gnaw, so they rushed into Datang to ask for food, you don't need to fight at all, you can retreat by throwing a few carts of nests, you can talk with a nose and eyes, the speaker is foaming at the mouth, and the listener is relishing.

Sometimes, ignorance is also a blessing.

However, the people in power are different, and whatever situation is on the front line, they will send it back to Chang'an with a fast horse for Li Er's reference as soon as possible, so that Li Er and the imperial court can make an accurate judgment on the overall situation at the first time, so that they can issue accurate instructions.

Today, after retreating from the dynasty, the eldest grandson Wuji, Cui Shang, Xiao Yu and others did not disperse, but followed Li Er to his imperial study.

"Report, Your Majesty, General Hou sent a battle report."

Everyone in the imperial study room was refreshed when they heard this: what they are waiting for is this moment, the war in Songzhou, one report in two days, and after Hou Junji leaves Beijing, it will be reported in three days, like the eldest grandson Wuji and Cui Shang. Guarding the arrival of this battle report every day, the eldest grandson Wuji is not at ease with his son, while Cui Shang and Cui Jing are good to explain to Cui Mengyao and the old lady.

"Biography!" Li Er was sitting on his dragon chair all of a sudden and said loudly.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Soon, the battle report written by Hou Junji was presented to Li Er, and Li Er was very careful to check that the fire paint was correct, and then he opened the letter.

"Haha, I know the way. There is a surprise with that kid, with this artifact, Hou Aiqing is even more like a fish in water. After Li Shimin finished reading it, he laughed, and finally saw a happy event.

Li Er finished reading. handed it to the eldest grandson Wuji on the side, and the ministers couldn't help but look behind the elder Sun Wuji.

"Cui Shangshu. Congratulations. Before the son-in-law went to the battlefield, he made a great contribution first, which is gratifying. Xiao Yu smiled and congratulated Cui Jing.

Cui Jing was happy in his heart, and he couldn't say with a little doubt: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just." Clairvoyance, then like the mythical clairvoyant, is this credible? ”

Li Er said happily: "Don't worry." If it were someone else, I wouldn't believe it, but Liu Yuan's kid, I believe, I really don't know how he did it, I will surprise you from time to time, Cui Cairen's jewelry, so that he can repair it, it is simply a miraculous skill, and this is Hou Aiqing's handwriting, as well as his private seal, there will be no mistake in breaking it, and I don't dare to deceive me with the safety of Hou Ai, I didn't expect that the legendary clairvoyant really appeared. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was happy in his heart, after all, the more sure he was, the less dangerous the eldest grandson's life was, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "That kid is good, Chong'er also mentioned him, this is a talent sent by God to the emperor, God bless me Datang." ”

Xiao Yu said curiously: "General Hou said so amazingly in the letter, the old minister really wants to go to Minzhou and have a look."

Li Er shook his head and said: "It's difficult, this is Hou Aiqing's last letter before entering Tibet, next time I will receive his letter, it is estimated that it will be until they return triumphantly, by the way, Uncle Guo, how did you see this news, you seem to be preoccupied?" What's there to worry about? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said a little worriedly: "What Weichen is worried about is that Chong'er and Liu Yuan, they have not gone to Tubo to train, so I am afraid that they will not adapt."

The five thousand elite soldiers are trained at the junction of Minzhou and Tufan, which can be said to be successful, Cheng Huailiang also stayed for two months, only Liu Yuan and Changsun Chong did not have that experience, and now they can't go straight into the place, and it is absolutely false to say that they are not worried, after all, it was a famous cursed place before.

"Don't worry" Li Er comforted him: "The training is so effective, Liu Yuan's methods will also be effective, if there is any accident, Hou Aiqing will also make corresponding measures, let's wait for their good news with peace of mind." ”

"That's all there is to it." The eldest grandson Wuji could also let it go, and soon regained his calm.

Cui Jing still had the letter in his hand, and he was still very happy in his heart, not only received the news of safety, but also saw that Liu Zhi had not yet gone to the battlefield, and had already obtained a great achievement, it was really a long face for himself, with this merit, not to mention anything else, as long as he lived alive, promotion was a sure thing, and now I hope that he can return safely, so it's okay, Cui Mengyao must have jumped up with joy when he heard the news of Liu Yuan's great achievements, but he didn't know what Liu Yuan was doing, perhaps, he had already clashed with Tubo

Just as Li Eryi was reading the letter, Hou Junji was struggling to advance in the snow with his elite soldiers.

Hou Junji thought that this line of work would not be easy, I didn't expect that now it is more difficult than I imagined, the road is far away, the mountain is rugged and the road is slippery, there are snowflakes floating in the sky, the snow on the ground is half a foot thick, walk up, a deep foot and a shallow foot, it is a waste of physical strength, all the horse's hooves are wrapped in thick cloth, one is anti-slip, and the other is to make the movement to the lowest, after all, there are now five thousand people, tens of thousands of horses, the movement will not be small, in the words of Hou Junji: the later the Tubo people find out, the more calmly they can enter its hinterland, Surprisingly gave it a heavy head-on blow.

In fact, on the day of entering Jishi Mountain, Changsun Chong fell ill, his face was a little red, and his body was a little feverish, fortunately, there was a full-time Lang Zhong in the team, and he also accumulated a certain amount of experience in this area, Hou Junji ordered him to retreat to recuperate, in addition to his personal guard, he also allocated ten additional soldiers who were familiar with the road to wait for him, if he was fully healed in a short period of time, he could catch up with the troops, otherwise, it happened that this "oil bottle" on the battlefield stayed in the territory of Datang.

The route chosen by the group is Jishi Mountain!

This is the route that has been finalized after many discussions, and the primary reason is that compared to the Tufan Heights, which are often as high as three or four thousand meters above the sea, Jishi Mountain is relatively low compared to the sea, and the low place is only more than 1,000 meters. There is a buffering process, which also gives the Tang army a process of adaptation; The second reason is that the defense here is relatively a weak link, and the defense force is not very large, breaking through the important town of Tubo in Maqin, and then it is a horse Pingchuan, which is wantonly raiding back and forth in the belly of Tubo.

Liu Yuanfu was on the blue and white skulls that Hou Jun had given him, and he silently vomited according to the set of methods that the blood knife taught him when he entered the mountain, which was the result of his own grinding for a long time, and he wanted to ask him what peerless martial arts he had. To wield that big knife weighing dozens of catties with a person's flesh and blood, you can't control it without a secret skill, but I didn't expect to ask him one by one, and after thinking about it for a long time, I taught him a set of methods of vomiting.

In the words of the Blood Knife. Although it is not as magical as Liu Yuan said, it also has the effect of strengthening the body and spleen. This. Liu Yuanshen thought so.

Of course, it's not in vain, except for the sweet name of "brother", Liu Yuan not only promised to make him a piece of jewelry for his wife, but also gave him a beautiful orchid, but. It's all worth it.

Today has entered the fourth day of Tubo, except that his face is a little pale and his breathing is a little short, at least he didn't want to be sick like Changsun Chong. Especially according to the set of vomiting methods taught by the blood knife, Liu Yuan is not as uncomfortable as when he first entered Tubo, and he is occasionally in the mood to look at the scenery.

"Brother Wild Wolf, give me the lance on your back." When he first entered Tubo, Liu Yuan's face became pale, his breathing became heavy, and the oxygen-rich environment of the Tufan Plateau and Datang was different, the sea was high, the oxygen content in the air was less, and the oxygen delivery to the heart and lungs was reduced a lot, which was an important cause of altitude sickness.

"Can you do it?" The Wild Wolf asked with concern.

The blood knife said lightly on the side: "Let him carry it, if you don't exercise at this time, when will you exercise?" ”

"Well, if you don't feel well, just give me a command." The wild wolf was no longer hypocritical and threw the lance to Liu Yuan.

After carrying the lance, Liu Yuan saw that it was all ice and snow, some cliffs, and there were long ice ridges, like an arrow hanging in the air, which made people stunned when they saw it, and could not help but sigh that the miraculous power of nature is that in this plateau area, the temperature is very low, if you remember correctly, this is the area where the source of the three rivers is said in later generations, the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River is formed here, known as the natural reservoir of China, many places are frozen all year round, and it is a famous land glacier.

Liu Yuan looked at it, and then said to himself a little depressedly: "This bird doesn't in a place, why did you walk for a few days, or there is no one?" It's really bold enough, what about undefended soldiers? ”

After walking for three days, I didn't even meet a single person, which is really evil.

The wild wolf explained: "That is, in winter, when it is difficult to move, both soldiers and Tibetans huddle together for the winter; Second, there is nothing to defend here except snow or snow, and thirdly, it has been very safe here, and there have been no problems all along, so the defense is looser, according to the map, there is still about a day's journey to Maqin, which is an important town in Tibet. ”

At this time, Wu Chang, who was walking with Liu Yuan, said happily: "Hehe, just a little supply, I have consumed a lot in three days, just replenish it." ”

Although it is a bit cruel to the common people, but for Songtsan Gampo, the people, villages, and important towns of the Tang Dynasty are also his supply places, and from the Tubo where all the people are soldiers, everyone, as long as they can wield a knife and control the strings, are its soldiers.

In the words of Hou Junji, the time has come to return a tooth for a tooth.

"Brother Liu, Brother Liu, wait for me." While on the march, Liu Yuan suddenly heard someone calling his name, turned his head to look, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
