Chapter 786: The size is not right
Xue Wanche couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, his big eyes like copper bells were full of confusion, didn't he go to guard the grain and grass? What other battles can be fought to guard the grain and grass? To be honest, let alone fighting, he thinks that he may not even be able to see a single Tubo person on this expedition, is it difficult to fight a Tubo person? Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chigong led the army to the expedition, so why not chase the Tubo people all the way and beat them violently? I'm afraid it's like driving the Tubo people back to the plateau like chasing rabbits, and he leads the troops to guard the grain and grass and can see a Tubo talent! If it was someone else, then Xue Wanche would definitely scoff, but the person who said this was Li Yong, so Xue Wanche couldn't believe it, Xue Wanche scratched his head with a puzzled face.
"Could it be that the county government has calculated that the Tubo people will definitely come to attack the grain and grass?"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"The battlefield is changing rapidly, anything is possible, anyway, this expedition, as long as you cheer up and work hard, you will definitely be able to make a lot of contributions!"
Although he still didn't understand in his heart, after listening to Li Yong's words, Xue Wanche suddenly felt like he had seen the sun in his heart, Xue Wanche nodded and said: "Don't worry, Jungong, I will definitely cheer up and work hard, no matter whether there are Tubo people sneaking up on the grain and grass, the grain and grass will be protected as solid as gold!" ”
"The 10,000 foot soldiers allocated to you by the saint are all the elite of the elite, but when they go out on the expedition, they know that they are guarding the grain and grass, and I am afraid that there will inevitably be slackness, you have to pay more attention."
Li Yong instructed, Xue Wanche patted his chest and said.
"Don't worry, there is no mischief under my command Xue Wanche, as long as they go out to fight, they will definitely have strong morale, and they will definitely dare to fight and rush when they fight."
Li Yong and Xue Wanche walked while discussing the matter of going on the expedition, and when they came to the official road, they saw a group of fast horses galloping, Xue Wanche immediately restrained the war horse, and looked ahead with blazing eyes, the original honest and rough appearance has long been gone, replaced by the murderous aura of the battlefield warriors, because it is the Tubo people who are rushing forward, so Xue Wanche at this time is extremely red when he sees the Tubo people, and Xue Wanche is full of murderous aura.
"These Tibetans are leaving Chang'an? It's fast enough! ”
In this regard, Li Yong is not surprised at all, these Tubo people have received the news that he is going to go on an expedition, and they are not in a hurry to rush back to report the news? Originally, Li Yong wanted to go to the Sifang Pavilion to ask the Tibetan envoys to bring a letter to Lu Dongzan, but he didn't expect to meet here, and a group of Tibetan envoys naturally saw Li Yong from afar, and they also slowly restrained the war horses, and they were followed by a slip of war horses, and the camels were full of goods, although they were very disdainful of Datang's combat effectiveness, but they were still reluctant to give up on Datang's goods, even if they were in a hurry to go back to report the news, they still had to bring the goods, so they still felt very pity, It's just that there aren't many horses to transport freight, and if they hadn't been in a hurry to go back to report the news, they would definitely have pulled a heavy wagon back.
"Gone so soon?"
Li Yong asked with a smile, and the Tibetan envoy smiled.
"We were ordered to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty this time to come for peace, since His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has decided to send troops, our mission has been regarded as a failure, in this case, what are we staying in Chang'an for? It's better to go back and accept punishment as soon as possible! ”
Li Yong said with a smile.
"That's right, the dispute between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will still be decided on the battlefield in the end, but didn't my father say that there are still gifts for you to transfer to Princess Zhenzhu, and my father still has a letter for you to hand over."
The misunderstanding encountered at the city gate before, Li Yong did say so, but the Tibetan envoys are now in a hurry to return to Tibet, and they have long forgotten about it, and now they hear Li Yong mention it again, they remember, but they feel that they don't think so, what gifts, what letters don't matter, because their Tubo people will soon capture Li Yong alive back to Tibet, and when the time comes, what muskets, artillery, what spirits, what glass, what tea are all their Tibetan, so do you still need any gifts? As for the letter, there is no need for it, when Li Yong was captured alive and sent to Tubo, he can say whatever he wants to say every day, the Tubo envoy smiled.
"I don't know what gifts the county prince wants us to bring, we are still in a hurry to rush back to Tibet, if the county prince wants to bring too many gifts, then we are afraid that we will be powerless, but the county prince can rest assured, there will be a chance in the future."
When he said the last sentence, the Tibetan envoy showed a meaningful smile, and even the faces of the Tubo people behind him flashed with inexplicable brilliance, Xue Wanche of course they couldn't see anything, but they just felt that these Tubo people were really crazy to the sky, and they didn't look respectful at all in the face of the county duke, looking at this group of Tubo people, Xue Wanche's fist clenched and gurgled, without using weapons, just an iron fist, he could smash the dog heads of these Tubo people, but, Li Yong could understand the deep meaning on the faces of these Tubo people, so he didn't feel annoyed at all, but was very happy, Li Yong smiled.
"I was just going to the Sifang Pavilion to find you, these are the gifts prepared by Princess Changle for Princess Zhenzhu, this is my letter to Songtsen Gampo, you can take them together!"
There are not many gifts, and the camel on two horses will not delay the trip, so the Tibetan envoy happily agreed.
"Thank you for your kindness, we will definitely bring gifts and letters back to Tibet! Without further ado, then we'll be on the road, Jungong, and there will be a period later! ”
After speaking, the Tibetan envoys urged their horses forward, and Li Yong said in a deep voice.
"Wait, I'll ask you one last question."
When the Tibetan envoy heard this, he hurriedly reined in his horse and asked.
"What's wrong with the magistrate? Excuse me, if I can come back, I will definitely answer. ”
Li Yong asked in a deep voice.
"Is Princess Pearl okay?"
The Tibetan envoy nodded.
"The princess is very good!"
Li Yong asked in a deep voice.
"Really? Have you ever seen Princess Pearl? When was the last time you saw her? ”
The Tibetan envoy nodded.
"I saw the princess go hunting with a female guard, and that was a few months ago."
Li Yong asked in a deep voice.
"You haven't met the princess again? Have you ever heard what princesses do? ”
The Tibetan envoy shook his head slightly.
"Later, I went to the Tang Dynasty, but I haven't heard of it, but the princess is really good, and I have also heard that the princess has been a lot quieter since she returned to Tubo, and she doesn't like hunting as much as before, and Zampu has praised it for this."
Hearing this, Li Yong was not sure whether Princess Zhenzhu was under house arrest or strict guard, but at least there should be no danger to her life, he muttered.
"I hope Princess Zhenzhu is really good!"
Although Li Yong's voice was not loud, the Tibetan envoy still heard it, and he could even hear the threat in Li Yong's words, but the Tibetan envoy didn't care, because Princess Zhenzhu was really good, and Li Yong might soon become their Tibetan concubine.
"Rongfu Jungong, there will be a period later!"
A group of Tibetans galloped away with letters and gifts.
"The county prince, this Tibetan envoy is really too rude, he is so presumptuous in front of the county prince, if it weren't for the two countries not to cut the envoys, I would directly punch their dog heads!"
Xue Wanche was dissatisfied, and Li Yong smiled.
"It's a good thing to be rude."
Is it a good thing? What's a good thing? Xue Wanche was confused, but Li Yong didn't explain, although he trusted Xue Wanche, but Xue Wanche was pinched to death by Princess Danyang, so Li Yong didn't want to deliberately hide Xue Wanche, but Xue Wanche was too straightforward to hide things, I was afraid that if I went back, Princess Danyang would see something strange, I was afraid that as long as Princess Danyang threw a flattering eye, Xue Wanche would be recruited like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, of course, Princess Danyang is the princess of the Tang Dynasty after all, of course, she will not reveal it to the Tubo people, I'm afraid that Princess Danyang will accidentally reveal it to Princess Changle, which is the last thing Li Yong wants to see.
"Don't think about it, go back and prepare well, and then go on the expedition!"
Li Yong smiled, and Xue Wanche grinned.
"I'm ready to go at any time!"
Li Yong said with a smile.
"Then go back and accompany Princess Danyang more, this pregnant woman has a lot of thoughts, she still needs to accompany more, and when you triumph, Princess Danyang has already given birth to a big fat son for you, which is double happiness."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
Xue Wanche agreed, and immediately urged the horse to go straight to Chang'an, although it was very painful to guard such a lively beauty in Danyang, but after leaving for a while, he missed it very much, especially when he thought that Danyang was carrying his flesh and blood in his belly, he missed it even more, Princess Mansion, Princess Danyang did not go out, but was waiting for Xue Wanche to come back, seeing Xue Wanche coming back with a red face, Princess Danyang couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and hurriedly asked.
"How? What did the prince of Rongfu say? ”
Xue Wanche said happily.
"The prince of Rongfu was very happy to hear that you were pregnant, and said that although this expedition is to protect grain and grass, the credit is also indispensable, but I still can't figure it out."
When Princess Danyang heard Li Yong say that the credit for this expedition was not small, she suddenly burst into joy, glanced at Xue Wanche, and said angrily.
"You idiot, you don't want to think about it, who is guarding the grain and grass? It's Li Yong, what kind of saint is he? What kind of connections does he have in the court? Even if he guards the grain and grass, the great merit of the expedition is still less than his? ”
"The British Mansion, the Lu Mansion, the Eguo Mansion, but with those who are good friends with Li Yong, how much money has they earned by Li Yong in the past few years? Can they still give some credit to Li Yong without sharing profits? Since you are a deputy general, you will definitely share the credit for your profits, otherwise you can't say it. ”
Listening to Princess Danyang's analysis of joy, Xue Wanche didn't think so, he would accept the credit that Li Yong deserved, and he would not accept the credit that didn't belong to him, Xue Wanche shook his head suspiciously.
"The saint has always had clear rewards and punishments, it won't be like this, the county prince said that he was afraid that I would beat the Tubo people until I vomited, but it made me wonder, could it be that the county prince had already calculated that someone would come to rob the grain and grass?"
An endless battle? Princess Danyang was pleasantly surprised.
"Could it be that the guards are fake? Actually, you're going to fight the Tibetans, right? ”
Xue Wanche shook his head when he heard this.
"This is impossible, since the saint has already said that he will guard the grain and grass, how can it be fake?"
Princess Danyang said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter if he's real or not, since the Duke of Rongfu County said that he has your credit, then there must be your credit!"
Li Yong finished running errands in Chang'an City and was ready to go home directly out of the city, but when he passed by the library, he found that a carriage was parked on the side of the road, this carriage Li Yong looked very familiar, because he had been seated, this was clearly Wang Jiuer's carriage, it seemed that Wang Jiuer knew that he was going to go on an expedition, so he came to see him, Li Yong turned over and dismounted, and then unceremoniously opened the curtain and got in, and then came a fragrant jade full of arms, however, Li Yong immediately noticed that something was wrong, the size was wrong, Then Li Yong saw clearly who the person who bumped into his arms just now was, and said with some embarrassment.
"Yuxiu, it's you, where is your young lady?"
Yuxiu blushed and said in a low voice.
"The young lady is on the third floor of the library, and the slave maid is waiting for the grandfather here, and the slave and maid see the grandfather coming, and are about to get off the carriage to greet the grandfather."
It turned out that Yuxiu was about to get off the carriage, no wonder he hit a Xiangyu full of arms, but it was also because he was too anxious to get into the carriage, Li Yong coughed dryly,
"I'm sorry, it was so abrupt."
Yuxiu blushed and shook her head again and again, and said softly.
"It's nothing, the slave maid is Miss's personal maid, Grandpa doesn't have to mind, by the way, Miss is still waiting for Grandpa in the library."
Hearing Yuxiu say this, Li Yong's heart suddenly calmed down a lot, and yes, Yuxiu is Wang Jiuer's personal maid, but it is not an outsider, if, in the future, he and Wang Jiuer really become a couple, then Yuxiu is a maid in the room.
"Then I'll go to the library to see you miss."
After Li Yong finished speaking, he immediately turned around and jumped out of the carriage, the library was still full of people, but it was very quiet, everyone was quietly reading or copying books, Li Yong walked briskly and went directly to the third floor, the third floor of the library is still not open to the public, there are maids guarding the staircase, seeing Li Yong come up and all of them are saluting, Li Yong nodded, and then went directly to the third floor, a beautiful shadow stood by the window, and the elegance was peerless.
"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
Li Yong stepped forward with a smile and directly reached out to hug the beauty's slender waist.
"Is the jade embroidery beautiful?"
Wang Jiu'er turned her head and asked with a smile.
"Jade embroidery? The long one is quite peugeot. ”
Li Yong said with a smile, Wang Jiu'er's personal maid was selected from how many maids in the Taiyuan Wang family, whether it was appearance, figure, personality or even female celebrity, of course they were the top, Wang Jiu'er said with a smile.
"No wonder I can't get out of the carriage."
Li Yong was speechless when he heard it and explained.
"I thought it was you in the carriage, so I was in a hurry to get into the carriage, Yuxiu saw me coming and was about to get off the carriage, so she bumped into me, you won't even be jealous of this, right?"
Wang Jiu'er listened and hurriedly explained.
"Jade embroidery is my personal maid, how can I eat jade embroidery vinegar? I mean, if you like it. ”
The eldest lady of her dignified family, how could she eat the vinegar of her personal maid? Wouldn't that be compared to Princess Changle?
