said that there was no money, and someone came to the door to deliver money.

The people who come are often black-toothed.

It was the black-toothed Changzhi who had just swept around on the empty Tibetan Plateau, although they didn't gain much, but they still harvested an eight-year-old statue of the Buddha.

This time, he personally escorted the Buddha statue to the Great Ci'en Temple for placement.

In fact, there are two statues of Sakyamuni, one is a twelve-year-old statue of Sakyamuni, which was brought by Princess Wencheng when she entered Tibet, and this eight-year-old statue was brought by Princess Nibra when she married Songtsen Gampo.

The twelve-year-old statue was hidden by the monks with mud, so they took the Buddha statue back to Chang'an.

When Yun Chu saw Hei Yan Changzhi again, this strong man who was originally eight feet tall, now his back was not as straight as before, his hair and beard were gray, and when he saw Yun Chu's mouth snorting a few times, he finally intervened in shame: "The last general Black Tooth Changzhi has seen the prince." ”

When Yun Chu went to the Western Regions to open up trade routes again, he once visited Heizhi Changzhi who was stationed in Ganzhou, and that time, Heizhi Changzhi learned that Yun Chu was coming, so he deliberately avoided it under the pretext of patrolling.

Later, when Yun Chu returned from the Western Regions, he wanted to see Hei Tooth Changzhi again, but he still avoided it, and seemed to be very worried about what to do with Yun Chu.

Therefore, when he came to Chang'an this time, he couldn't avoid it, and he didn't know what kind of attitude to use to meet Yun Chu.

Yun Chu looked at the black tooth Chang Dao with a smile: "Finally willing to come to see me?" ”

The black tooth Changzhi bowed and said, "The prince forgives the sins." ”

Yun Chu said: "I see that you are disgusted, you see that I am uncomfortable, leave a gift and go." ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi looked up at Yun Chu and said: "The last general is a general, Gou is at peace with the Tang Dynasty, in this life, he is only willing to sacrifice his life to protect the Tang Dynasty, complete the last section of loyalty of the last general, do not see the prince, is unwilling to participate in the dispute between the court and China, and has no intention of going against the monarch." ”

Yun Chu sighed and said: "If you are an official, this dispute in the court is definitely not something you want to avoid, but since you want to be alone, then it depends on your luck." ”

Heiya Changzhi hesitated and said: "The last general will return to Ganzhou this time, and he will be appointed as the protector of the Luodu Prefecture." ”

Yun Chu said: "Do you want to take the clansmen to Luo?" ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi shook his head and said, "Go by yourself." ”

Yun Chu said: "Tubo is a bitter cold place, you go here to cherish it, and I will get some suitable medicines for Tubo from the Tai Hospital and bring them with you." ”

Hei Fang Changzhi intervened again and said, "Thank you for your generous gift." ”

Yun Chu looked at the way of the black tooth: "Do you regret it?" ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi shook his head and said, "No regrets." ”

Sending Hei Tooth Changzhi away, Yun Chu returned to the back house and found Yu Xiurong and the others checking the gift sent by Hei Tooth Changzhi.

Originally, he was Yun Chu's subordinate, so he naturally knew that Yun Chu didn't like those bells and whistles, so he directly served hard dishes, two boxes of heavy gold ingots, gold judgments, gold cakes, and a thick layer of golden gold at the bottom of the gold plate.

Yun Chu said to Cui Yao, who refused to let go of the two gold judgments: "Look clearly, if Lao Tzu wants money, how much money can't he get?" ”

Cui Yao, who was holding the gold judgment, said: "These two pieces should be regarded as compensation for the head jewelry that I sold." ”

After speaking, she ran away with two gold coins, but seeing that the heavy purse on her waist was about to tear off her skirt, she knew that there were at least two or three gold cakes in it.

They are all people who have come through the same ups and downs, and a little gold is naturally not a problem, that is, the atmosphere at home is good, so Cui Yao, the tutor, is unwilling to pretend to be reserved.

"This is the last filial piety that Hei Tooth Changzhi will give to our family." Yu Xiurong is somewhat regretful,

Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's why I gave so much this time, this guy seems to be preparing to die in Luo, and wants to use these hard work to earn peace for his descendants." ”

Yu Xiurong said: "In the bitter cold land of Tubo, now even the Tubo people have run out, leaving only some Qiang people and miscellaneous tribes to stay on the Tubo Plateau, where the water can't be boiled, and no matter how strong the people are, they can't survive for a few years before they collapse."

Husband, can the black tooth Changzhi get his wish? ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Impossible, these people can enjoy glory and wealth, but it is only his generation, and their children and grandchildren want to continue to enjoy it, there is no half possibility."

One generation serves their lives, one generation becomes naturalized, and the next generation may become Tang people, at least, until they completely forget the customs of Baekje before they will see them as real Tang people. ”

"Whose idea is this?"

"Li Hong's."

"Not His Majesty's idea?"

"No, Your Majesty and the Queen always want to recruit people from all races for my use."

"It's very courageous."

"That's right, the two of them are left with courage now."

"However, there are so many aliens in Datang now, can they still be driven away?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "There is no need to drive them away, as long as they are not allowed to get involved in the military and political affairs of the Tang Dynasty now, after a hundred and ten years, after changing customs and customs, they will naturally become Tang people." ”

Yu Xiurong said: "It's very cruel." ”

Yun Chu said: "This is a helpless thing, there are examples of Wuhu Chaohua in the past, Li Hong does not dare to help the alien race become stronger." ”

There was no moon tonight, there was only a hook in the sky, and the little gossip of the couple dissipated into the night sky of Chang'an with the summer wind.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was dark and dreary, like a mountain, but the Tianshu pillar in the distance was brightly lit, and it was the craftsmen who were decorating the pillar that was biased to the southeast day and night.

On August 15, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, this pillar will become the brightest existence in Chang'an, because on the top of the pillar, there is a lamp that will not be extinguished.

The next day, it began to rain at dawn, the rain was not big, a bit like spring rain, that is, a bit like spring rain, when Yun Chu rode to the county office, the rain had wet his clothes, if it was spring rain, the clothes were a little damp at most.

Just when Yun Chu wiped off his bald head and was about to drink some jars of tea, Shen Ru suddenly hurriedly walked in with a document and said to Yun Chu: "Nanzhao was defeated, Sima Zhangqiu Xiaofang of Rongzhou was ambushed in Jiangchuan in Yinsheng Mansion, and the whole army was annihilated, and none of the three thousand iron armors survived.

Meizhou Sima He Rudao desperately rescued, but was dragged in Luchuan by the Nanzhao Malai Aqu Department that suddenly poured out, and he couldn't advance an inch for two days, and watched Zhang Qiu Xiaofang's department die in battle.

When Liu Hanyuan, the Sima of Junzhou who was transferred to the front line, retreated from Tongjian River to Hepuchuan, he was chased and killed by the barbarian leader Pulong and led the lord of the Sixteen Caves, and the 4,000 people assigned to Liu Hanyuan were killed and captured, and when the 2,000 iron armor led by Liu Hanyuan returned to the Hepuchuan camp, there were less than 800 people left.

In this battle, more than seventy percent of the battle losses of my Datang 8,000 iron armor were lost, and He Rudao saw that there was no hope of rescue, so he had to stick to Shisang County.

County Zun, this defeat is very troublesome, once the barbarians of Nanzhao find out that they can also defeat us, they will inevitably rise up to rebel, and in the case of our insufficient troops, they will even directly threaten Chengdu. ”

Yun Chu absorbed the news sent by Shen Ru, and frowned: "For more than two years and three years, how did they fight, I don't believe that the Tang Iron Armor, which was armed to the teeth, would be defeated to this extent?" ”

Shen Ru sighed and said: "Not to mention the high mountain and the road, the climate there is still humid, which is not good for my army's firearms, the epidemic is rampant in the army, and the soldiers have been on the expedition for three years, almost all of them are playing hide and seek with the barbarians, and they can't find the barbarian settlement area at all, even if they find it, those barbarians know that the army is coming, as long as they lead their pigs and sheep, and re-camp in another place."

In this battle, Nanzhao Sheng Luopi can be regarded as having a prestige, and this guy is very likely to use the power of the great victory to unify the eight departments of Nanzhao and become the permanent enemy of my Datang.

The subordinates thought that His Majesty would definitely send a general to the expedition this time, compared with Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian, the county was the closest to Chengdu, and the war ahead was urgent, and the county was ordered to lead the troops into Shu The possibility is the greatest. ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Not necessarily so, Chengdu still has Wang Fangyi, and Cheng Wuting is also in Bazhou, with the two of them, it is enough to defend Chengdu and repel Sheng Luopi." ”

Shen Ru was about to speak, gently, Di Renjie also hurriedly walked into the official house, and as soon as he entered the door, he said to Yun Chu eagerly: "Get ready to go on the expedition." ”

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The resistance to my expedition is too great, even if Your Majesty allows it, the queen will not agree, she may think that I want to conspire with Shuzhong again." ”

Di Renjie shook his head and said: "Impossible, more than two years ago, Your Majesty once ordered the three-way army to enter the southwest to exterminate Sheng Luopi, as a result, in the past three years, those people have not made an inch, but have been defeated and humiliated the country.

Therefore, the elite closest to Shuzhong is our Guanzhong government soldiers, and it is estimated that they will not be able to escape this time.

Besides, I just learned from the Hundred Cavalry Division who sent an urgent report that after the Luoyang Military Department learned the news of the defeat in the southwest, we were the first to be notified.

It seems that the imperial court has the intention to send our Guanzhong soldiers to march into Shuzhong to exterminate Sheng Luopi. ”

Yun Chu gave Shen Ru gentleness, Di Renjie said with a cup of tea: "Don't be impatient, if the imperial court has a decree for us to march to the southwest, there will definitely be an envoy over."

After getting the will, it's not too late to act after the talisman.

Don't prepare in a hurry on our side, there will be another change on the court side, it will be embarrassing. ”

Wen Wen frowned and said: "You have always fought in the north and the west, and you are not familiar with the southwest, I think we should immediately transfer all the shopkeepers we sent to the southwest back."

Having them in your army will certainly be of great help. ”

Yun Chu took a sip of tea and said, "It makes sense, summon them back." ”
