At night, Li Yu had a strange dream, in the dream, he was sitting in front of the sand table in a daze, and the former Wu Song suddenly appeared beside him and said to him:

"Go back, this place doesn't belong to you, you've been out for so long, you should be back."

He had just agreed, and wanted to take a step, but he was dragged by someone, and when he looked back, he saw a tall and majestic beard, the same person he saw in the mirror every day. Now Li Yu said to him again:

"You belong here, but where are you going?"

Just about to turn back, he was caught, and the former Wu Song said to him:

"You belong here? Has your wife and son forgotten? ”

But he was also grabbed over there, and said:

"You want to leave halfway through the great cause of ZTE, are you worthy of such a handsome hairstyle?"

Only then did he realize that he had become bald at some point. The scalp is cold. Wu Song says:

"What do you care about him, you are Wu Song, not Li Yu. What Zhongxing, what Tang Dynasty, it's none of your business at all! You're just a small citizen, what politics have you done since you were a child? The biggest official is the head of the dormitory, can you manage the country well? The responsibility of revitalizing this dynasty is not something you can bear, you should be your little citizen in peace! ”

But Li Yu said to him:

"You are Li Yu now, you are Li Yu now! You have to do what you have to do, you have done a good job, managing such a large country, which emperor has not encountered setbacks? Don't be afraid, grit your teeth and stick to the past, and the situation will improve immediately. You have so many capable ministers, so many generals who can fight well, such a huge country, such abundant resources, what are you afraid of? Wake up and you'll be fine right away. ”

The two of them didn't let anyone, it hurt so much that his arms hurt, he couldn't bear it, the two arms shrank hard, but the two people Shi Shiran penetrated his body, which made him shout and sit up suddenly.

Sitting up, he was still Li Chan.

Seeing Li Yu waking up screaming and looking at him angrily, Li Zhongyan hurriedly let go of his arm, knelt on the ground and kowtowed:

"The old slave is too strong, and it disturbs everyone, but Shuo Fangzhan has reported."

Only then did Li Yu remember that before he went to bed, he had instructed Li Zhongyan to call himself up as soon as there was a border battle report, so he didn't speak, and said:

"Let's change my clothes!"

Sitting on the toilet and reading the battle report from Shuofang 800 miles in an urgent manner, more than three days ago, more than 50,000 Tubo troops appeared in Zhenwu, Fengzhou and other places, suddenly crossed the plug and attacked Yanzhou, fortunately the border has been on high alert for several months, Yanzhou soldiers and civilians desperately resisted, killing thousands of enemies, but they were outnumbered, Yanzhou has been besieged by Tubo, and it seems that Tubo still has signs of increasing troops. This is obviously the revenge of the main battle party in Tibet for the earlier actions of the Tang army, and it seems that Tubo Zampu still failed to control the country strongly. Fan Xichao, who had not yet been appointed to Hedong, asked to stay in Shuofang to preside over the overall situation, and after the disarmament, the Shuofang army only had more than 30,000 people, and requested that the Hedong Army be transferred to Shuofang, and requested that the number of Shatuo be increased by 300.

According to the intelligence, Lu Wen believed that Tubo would not make major moves in the past few years, and the imperial court could be careful and concentrate on the interior, and this judgment was also in line with Li Yu's understanding of history, so after declaring force to Tubo, Li Yu was relieved to transfer as many as five armies from Guanzhong to Huaixi to participate in the war. Although Li Yuan and others in the border areas wrote to Tibet that there were abnormal movements, Li Yu stubbornly believed that the Tibetans would not launch a counterattack in early winter, and only prepared the towns to deal with small-scale conflicts. Three days ago, a fourth-class officer of the Grain and Straw Statistics Department risked his life to make a detour from the territory of Tubo and sent back information that Tubo was planning a counterattack. Due to the tight blockade of Tibet, when the information arrived, the Tibetan army had already assembled and was ready, and launched an offensive in Fengxiang, Longyou, and Jingyuan. Crossing where there is no change in history, only now I understand that it is a little late. Li Yu had no choice but to resign himself to fate, counting on the generals on all sides to deal with it effectively.

To add insult to injury, Zhenwu Adiguang reported that winter had arrived, and the Uighurs, who were not having a good time, had recently shown signs of increasing their troops in the border areas. The civil strife is not settled, and foreign affairs will start, which is really not what Li Yu wants to see. Li Yu regretted that he had forcibly welcomed the coffin of the eldest princess of Xian'an back to Chang'an. The new Uighur khan had sent envoys several times to ask for peace, but Li Yu refused on the grounds that the eldest was married, the middle had been decided, and the younger one was still small, and it seemed that this time the move would not be small. The long border is hard to prevent! It seems that as Bai Juyi said, the Tibetan Uighurs have a lot of spies in the interior, and they know everything about the truth.

Public opinion at the imperial court was tense. Many people were afraid that the main force of the imperial court during the reign of Daizong would march eastward to quell the rebellion, causing Guanzhong to be empty, so that the scene of being invaded by Tubo and entering Chang'an was repeated again. After all, neither the Tibetans nor the Uighurs want to see a unified and powerful Tang Dynasty reappear, and the barbarians are insatiable and will not give up if they have the opportunity not to bite a piece of meat. The Tibetan envoy Chunshang had just come, and he kept saying that he wanted to ask for peace, but now he probably hasn't arrived in Luo, and the Tibetan army has begun to oppress the border of the Tang Dynasty. There are also people in the court who are shaken, the soldiers and horses have not been moved for a long time, the victory or defeat is not divided, and the argument of Wu Shaocheng and Huaixi soldiers has come out. How can we deal with such a crisis?

The huge pressure was in Li Yu's heart, and it was rare to sleep for a while, but he also told Li Zhongyan to call him up as soon as there was a war report on the border. The dormitory was as warm as spring, bright as day, and the fragrance floated, but Li Yu had no intention of sleeping, and from time to time there was a picture of the Tubo Uighurs attacking the border cities, plundering and killing the people, and setting fire to the grain.

"I want to bathe. Tell the scholar on duty tonight to wait for me in the bathhouse. ”

The little eunuch guided in front with the palace lamp, and Li Yu walked out of the warm dormitory wearing a big hat, but at some point the snowflakes had fallen one by one, and the ground, trees, and roof tiles were already snow-white. A chill hit my face. Li Yu couldn't help but perk up and cleared his mind a lot. No matter how chaotic it is outside, the key point is still inside, or in Huaixi, as long as Huaixi is defeated, then it can form a deterrent to the inside, temporarily calm the inside, and the army can also be transferred back to the western front.

I don't know how Huaixi is doing now.

From Guanzhong to Henan, a heavy snow dressed thousands of miles of rivers and mountains crystal clear. Don't talk about people on the road of Tongguan Valley for thousands of miles, even birds rarely fly by. The originally lively and lively earth returned to its primitive silence, and only the faint sound of snow could be heard densely. Far away from the direction of the original Hangu Pass, five fast horses ran. Early in the morning, who's on the way? The guards immediately perked up and prepared for the investigation.

Before the guards could ask, the people on the horse had already shouted:

"Hurry up and open the door, let me wait for the customs, Huaixi urgent!"
