Chapter 170: Inch by Foot

The moon rises from the eastern horizon and shines on the vast Gobi Desert, like a layer of clear snow.

"Princess, the team stops and rests." Dagan bowed down and asked.

"The mourning family is not tired, and the mourning family can still persevere, but it is up to the general to decide." Along the way, Dagan treated the princess with great courtesy, and the princess thanked the envoy of the Emissary of the Princess.

The camel raised its head and chirped in a southwesterly direction, its hooves shaking the sand under its feet. The camels can sense the water in the desert and follow the camels.

From the rising moon to the middle of the moon, a silver mirror spreads out on the snowy sand under the moonlight, which is a lake.

The crowd cheered, and in the vast desert, water was more precious than gold.

The barrels were unloaded from the wagon, and the water utensils they carried with them were filled with water. Only then did people jump into the lake to drink and play.

The Legas were a fierce people, and Dagan and his men jumped naked into the cool waters of the lake. It's early summer, and the weather is getting warmer day by day.

Horses and camels drink water by the lake. We often talk about cow drinking, that is, we don't see camel booze, it can hold dozens of kilograms of water at a time with its open belly.

On the second day, the morning light was twilight, and the group had a simple freshening up by the lake, and after breakfast, the team continued to move forward.

Dagan was afraid that the journey would be tiring and the princess would not be able to bear it, so whenever she asked the princess to stop and rest, the princess said the most, 'I'm not tired, I can still persevere'.

She just wants to hurry up and get back to her hometown as soon as possible. She was faintly worried in her heart, afraid that an accident would shatter the dream she had never given up for 20 years.

A troop of cavalry whistled towards them from afar, "Protect the princess." Dagan and his men lined up, escorting the princess's chariot.

Jiegangas took the lead, "Bold thieves, dare to kidnap the Uighur Kedun." ”

The Uighur cavalry galloped and surrounded them, and the princess knew it was time to wake up. "I'll go back with you and let them go!" The princess said coldly.

"The subordinates are difficult to obey, they dare to kidnap the princess, and they deserve death."

Dagan and the others guarded the princess, and the chief had an order to escort the princess back to her hometown.

They are the descendants of the famous general Li Ling of the Han Dynasty, escorting the princess back to the Tang Dynasty, and they also have to meet the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty, ask the Son of Heaven in a letter, and recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors.

The princess held a dagger to her chest, "They saved my life, if you don't let them go, you will bring back my corpse today." ”

Rogas replied calmly, "Princess, even if I let them go, they will be dead." If the task is not completed, the Yaks will not let them go. They have no way forward, no way back, and death is their fate. ”

The princess closed her eyes in despair, not knowing that saving their lives was just wishful thinking on her part. These people who ignited the light of hope for her were destined to die because of her.

The wheel started and Princess Taihe didn't have the courage to turn back, and the sound of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and screams of injuries drifted away with the yellow sand rolling up in the sky.

How innocent are Dagan and more than 100 others! She was displaced and had no fixed place, and Dagan and the others just wanted to fulfill one of her dreams, but they ended up buried in the sea of sand, and soon turned into a pile of white bones buried in the gravel.

Wujie Khan held the princess hostage, which meant that he had bargaining chips with Datang.

He led his army all the way south and set up camp near Tiande City. At the same time, he sent an envoy to the table, saying that there was a shortage of clothes and food here, and they were all right if they suffered, and they couldn't be wronged by the princess.

Tang Wuzong couldn't cry or laugh when he looked at this letter that made a fuss about the princess and threatened it. The princess still has to give face, but it is his aunt, and she can't watch her aunt suffer!

Tang Wuzong ordered the allocation of 20,000 Hu grain to relieve Wujie Khan. Wujie Khan's treacherous plan succeeded, and once he tasted the sweetness, he couldn't stop making a fuss.

Then the second sheet followed. Now that Princess Taihe has no fixed place to live, the Uighurs have no place to support the princess, so can they temporarily borrow Tiande City to settle down?

Tang Wuzong was happy when he saw this letter. Kick your nose on your face, and don't be ashamed of your face.

Tang Wuzong issued an edict to Wujie Khan and borrowed Tiande City, which had no precedent in the previous generation.

If the Khan chooses other places with good conditions, Datang can provide assistance. Prior to this, troops could only be stationed in Monan. We welcome the princess to come to Beijing at any time.

Tang Wuzong was neither soft nor hard, and slapped Wujie Khan. was so troubled by Wujie Khan, Wu Zong put aside the matter of connecting his niece to protect the media.

After Princess Langning returned to the palace from hunting, her heart disease had been removed, and her body naturally recovered. After spending a day with Jiang Yao, his voice, smile, words and deeds completely captured the princess's heart.

Princess Langning is in the palace, misses Jiang Yao, and wants to see him, but she can't help herself in the palace. When she stepped out of the palace gate, she must have been accompanied by the guards.

It is impossible to sneak out of the palace with her personal maid, she is a young woman, a dignified princess of the Tang Dynasty, and it is against etiquette to sneak out to meet men privately.

If Jiang Yao is summoned with a huge battle, some things are easy to say and not good, how to block the mouths of the people?

Like all young girls with spring, the princess recites poems to the moon every day, plays the piano and paints to talk about spring sorrows.

The pictures of the ladies she painted all have the same face, fortunately, Jiang Yao is a face that is difficult to distinguish between male and female, otherwise it is not very strange to have a soft and colorful figure, plus a tiger and a mighty face.

With high hopes, the road is broken, and the flowers and flowing water are in the twilight of youth.

At present, it is all sad, and Feihong has no books.

The jade skin is clear and clear, and the acacia is twelve o'clock a day.

Jiang Yao ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion every once in a while, and he was doing his filial piety for Liu Ye.

Li Xiang was happy to see Jiang Yao, the two of them either had a few drinks, or played chess, or talked about poetry and papers, and more often Li Xiang would talk to Jiang Yao about the court.

imperceptibly instilled Jiang Yao with the concept of the overall situation of current affairs, and Jiang Yao listened attentively. Just because he's not keen on power doesn't mean he doesn't care about the current situation. He also occasionally makes a statement.

Li Xiang always stroked his beard and smiled, "Virtuous nephew, you should have been in the court, but it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

On this day, the two of them talked about Wujie Khan, and Deyu said angrily, "Wujie deceives people too much, and Princess Taihe is in his hands, making him so arrogant." ”

Jiang Yao nodded, "Uncle, a battle with Wujie is inevitable. ”

Li Xiang sighed, "Virtuous nephew, it costs money to fight, and now is not the Kaiyuan period, Xiaoyi still hides thousands of families, and the rice is fat and the corn is white." ”

Jiang Yao said, "Uncle, according to the opinion of the little nephew, a separate item should be set up in the treasury, and a part of the silk grain should be saved every year for military needs." ”

"I have this plan, the border is restless, the corruption is serious... It's a lot of stuff. Li Xiang's face was solemn.

Some feudal towns were self-respecting and did not pay taxes to the imperial court. And war is a money-burning business. Soldiers and horses should go ahead before grain and grass are moved, and there must be a strong economic foundation, and there must also be an army with strong combat effectiveness and the courage to fight tough battles.

Jiang Yao looked at the old man in front of him, Guo Ziyi and General Guo have been affiliated with the country for 20 years. The old man in front of him is not a country. Respect arises spontaneously in my heart, for the sake of the national economy and people's livelihood, the old man can be said to have done his best.

"Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and things should be solved one by one. Several major events advocated by my uncle were implemented smoothly, and the monarchs and ministers were united and invincible. ”

Jiang Yao moderately kneaded the back of Deyu's shoulders and back, and slowly poured internal force into him to relieve fatigue.
