In the big tent, Lu Dongzan sat there with a solemn face and pondered, Qin Ling stood aside with some restraint, he knew that the old man must be very disappointed in him, and the loss of some cities was indeed very culpable, especially it had a great impact on their great cause.

"Father, not only is the Tang Army very powerful, but their cavalry is also very fierce, and I think it is more well-trained than our cavalry."

Qin Ling whispered, and Lu Dong sighed in admiration.

"I naturally know that the Tang army has won many battles in the south and north over the years, especially the destruction of the Turks in one fell swoop, Tuyuhun and Goguryeo, the combat power of its cavalry can be seen, I have always known that the Tang army is very strong, so I strictly ordered you to stick to some cities, just for fear that you will think of yourself very high and take the initiative to attack and be defeated by the Tang army."

Qin Ling said ashamedly.

"Father, I already know it's wrong, I shouldn't have played!"

Lu Dong exclaimed.

"Speaking of which, there is also my fault, I have taught you a lot over the years, you are also very competitive, and you are considered a leader among the younger generation in Tibet. But your experience is still too little, and Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chigong are famous generals who have been in battle for a long time, and they came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, and it is normal for you to lose to them, don't be discouraged, I know that you have arrogance in your heart, you want to prove yourself, and there is arrogance in your heart, sometimes it is good, sometimes it can be bad, I hope you can learn a lesson from this defeat, if you can grow because of this, then this failure is worth it. ”

Qin Ling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this, what he was most worried about was that the old man was completely disgusted with him, so when he heard the old man's earnest teachings, he understood that the old man still did not give up on him, and yes, the second brother had died in Tuyuhun, and the third brother was too young to be counted on, Qin Ling nodded again and again.

"Father, rest assured, I have learned a lesson after this defeat, and I will never be so reckless in the future."

Lu Dongzan nodded.

"That's good, that's good! The stakes are so high that it won't be easy to fight! ”

Qin Ling's eyes rolled, and he thought about it and groaned.

"Dad, doesn't Princess Zhenzhu have a personal affair with Li Yong? We might as well use Princess Zhenzhu to blackmail Li Yong. ”

Lu Dongzan glared at Qin Ling.

"Bad idea! Princess Zhenzhu has a noble status, how can we use her to threaten Li Yong in a grand manner, isn't this the truth? Besides, who is Li Yong? How can you be threatened because of a woman? ”

Qin Ling sneered.

"Father, I'm also too worried about this upcoming battle, and I want to give my father ideas."

Lu Dongzan waved his hand.

"You don't have to worry about this battle, I will give you the most important task, that is, to take a good look at Princess Zhenzhu, the princess and the little prince, now they are still honest, but once the battle starts, they will definitely want to take the opportunity to escape, and finally caught the little prince in their hands, but they can't let them slip away again, this time, you have to be careful, you can't make any mistakes."

It is true that Qin Ling does not want to accept this errand, after all, looking at Princess Zhenzhu, they can't show their credit at all, but if something goes wrong, it will be a great crime, and he will really not be able to turn over in the future, but he can't push this errand, because this is very important, and it is related to whether their Geer family can win the position of Zampu, Qin Ling took a deep breath and nodded.

"Don't worry, father, I will definitely watch over them."

Lu Dongzan was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"If the battle is fierce and they are ready to move, if the situation is uncontrollable, then kill! Just make sure the little prince is alive! ”

Qin Ling understood what the old man meant, the little prince is the most important, if it is a critical time, he can kill the princess and Princess Zhenzhu, as long as the little prince is saved, of course, it is the last resort, to say something in his heart, he is really reluctant, after all, he has coveted Princess Zhenzhu for a long time, Qin Ling nodded solemnly.

"Father rest assured, he will definitely watch over them, and he will never let the little prince escape from us."

The army rested for a day, while gathering the rout, while marching towards the city, the cold winter shrouded the earth, the snow-covered city of the city is very beautiful, but the city is very lively, since the Tang army occupied the city, there was no burning and looting and did not issue any strict military orders, but issued some very lenient decrees, the city not only quickly restored order, but more prosperous and lively than before, although there are still soldiers of the Tang Dynasty patrolling in the city, but the streets are bustling with people, Seeing the Tang Dynasty soldiers marching, the people on the street were not afraid at all, and even the people took the initiative to come forward and sell things loudly, the four city gates were all opened, and there were people constantly going in and out, at first there were only people who had the courage to enter the city, and then after the spread of the word, there were more people entering the city, the Tang army marched all the way, although there was also looting, but there was no wanton killing, and there was no robbery of women and children, so the reputation is still good, after entering the city, because Tubo gathered a lot of grain and grass in some cities, so, The Tang army does not have to loot anymore, although Tubo is a country, but strictly speaking, it is still slavery, and the life of ordinary people can be imagined, but the arrival of the Tang army promulgated some decrees, but it made ordinary people feel some real taste, Qi Ben strode into the hall and said respectfully.

"Meet the Princess!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"But what happened?"

Qi Ben said respectfully.

"Xia Guan heard reliable news that Lu Dongzan had captured Qiong Jiecheng and captured Princess Zhenzhu, the princess and the little prince, and Lu Dongzan did not stop at Qiong Jiecheng for many days, he withdrew from Qiong Jiecheng on the same day, and is now on his way back to Luo Xue City."

After roughly estimating the time, Xu Shiji smiled.

"It's faster than we expected, and I don't know if Lu Dongzan is too capable of fighting or the Lingnan coalition is too unbeatable."

Li Yong couldn't help but be slightly distracted when he heard this, Princess Zhenzhu was captured by Lu Dongzan, and I don't know what her current situation is, after all, Princess Zhenzhu has a noble status, although she has torn her face, but Lu Dongzan should not treat Princess Zhenzhu badly for the sake of fame, at least not blatantly for the time being, Li Yong sighed lightly.

"It's a pity, Lu Dongzan returned to the division too quickly, our decree has not been implemented for a long time, and it is not deep enough to penetrate the hearts of the people, otherwise, Lu Dongzan will find that the people in Luo Some City and the surrounding areas will actually have their hearts set their hearts to our Tang Dynasty!"

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile.

"There's nothing to be sorry for, anyway, we don't defend the city, and Lu Dongzan has a dignified decisive battle, and when Lu Dongzan is defeated, we have time to issue an executive order."

The news that Lu Dongzan's army had broken through Qiongjie City and had returned to the division quickly spread in the city, and most of the people in the city had mixed feelings after hearing the news, on the one hand, they felt that the decree implemented by the Tang army was very good, which would allow them to live a better life; On the other hand, they thought that Lu Dongzan could defeat the Tang army and drive the Tang army out of Tibet, after all, the Tang army was an invader, and naturally there were many people in the city of Luo who wanted to praise Lu Dongzan.

"These decrees issued by the Tang Army have been copied in a copy of their humble positions."

The person who reported the news said respectfully, Lu Dongzan took the copied paper and looked at it carefully, and after reading it, Lu Dongzan's face became more solemn, and he snorted coldly.

"Tang Jun really has a big appetite, if Tang Jun is allowed to stay for another year or two, the people of Luo Some City may still be sincere to Datang!"

Qin Ling looked at it from the side, and said hatefully.

"Tang Jun will be hypocritical! The people of the city will not be fooled, and when we take back the city, we will repeal these decrees. ”

Lu Dong exclaimed.

"Even if the decrees are repealed, they have left a mark on the hearts of the people of the city. It's going to roast us on the fire! Leave it alone, the most important thing now is to defeat the Tang army and recapture the city! ”

Lu Dongzan carefully interrogated the people who came back to report the news, estimating how many troops the Tang Army had, how many troops the Shenji Battalion had, how many artillery, but the people who reported the news could not say one, two, three, four or five, Chang'an had already been wrapped in silver, and Chang'an after the snow was extraordinarily magnificent, but Chang'an City was very lively, and now cotton has already become popular on a large scale, even ordinary people can wear cotton clothes, and they are no longer afraid of the cold, although the weather is cold, but people are very warm in cotton clothes, So the street is also extraordinarily lively, the snow sprinkled on the roof by the morning light is very crystalline, but there is no snow on the road, the mighty ceremonial drive along the Vermilion Bird Street is moving forward quickly, this is the queen's phoenix drive out of the city, the pedestrians on the street while avoiding it, while wondering in their hearts, such a cold day, what is the queen doing out of the city? The queen's phoenix drove out of Chang'an City and immediately sped up, heading towards Xishan, the car drove directly into the Xishan Rongfu County Mansion, the eldest grandson queen got off the carriage and immediately walked to the inner courtyard, originally the Rongfu County Mansion was a little flustered, but with the arrival of the eldest grandson queen, the Rongfu County Mansion was suddenly relieved a lot, Princess Yuzhang and Li Xueyan, Zheng Liwan, Wu Cao and other women hurriedly greeted them.

"Queen Mother!"

"Queen Mother!"

Both of them had nervous and apprehensive looks on their faces, but when they saw the queen mother coming, the two of them settled down a lot.

"How's it going?"

Empress Eldest Sun hurriedly asked.

"When it was almost the fifth watch, my sister suddenly felt abdominal pain, and now my sister has entered the delivery room, and the stable wives are all in the delivery room, and Sun Daochang and the doctors from the medical school are also waiting in the front hall."

Princess Yuzhang hurriedly said, and Empress Changsun also understood that Changle was giving birth to a child for the first time, and she would not give birth so soon, she nodded slightly.

"You two are waiting here, if there is anything you need to prepare, hurry up and arrange someone to prepare, and go in the palace to see Changle."

The outside of the delivery room was full, there were several Wen Po alone, as well as the maids and the grandmother in the palace, all of them were gathered next to the delivery room, and there were two of the most experienced Wen Po and Mama in the delivery room, Chunlan and Xiaoxue were guarding the side, when the eldest grandson queen walked in, she could still hear the pain coming from the delivery room, and for a while, the heart of the eldest grandson queen was pinched, Wei Zheng strode to the front of the manna hall, and the inner servant hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said respectfully.

"Lord Wei, the sage has a will, no one will see him today, if Lord Wei has something to do, you might as well come back tomorrow."

Wei Zheng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, today's great court meeting suddenly stopped the court, why is it that even the minister is missing now? What happened in the palace? Is the emperor owed? Or is the queen indebted? But there's no wind at all! Wei Zheng frowned and asked.

"But what happened? Why did His Majesty suddenly call off the dynasty and not even see the ministers? ”

The chamberlain said respectfully.

"This slave and maid don't know, the slave and maid just obey the orders of the saint, and I hope that the lord will not embarrass the slave and maid."

In the Ganlu Palace, Li Er picked up a piece of music, read it for a long time and didn't read a few words, stood up and paced a little irritably and asked.

"Any news?"

"Qiqi saint, just now the queen sent guards back and forth, the princess has not given birth yet, but everything is fine, please don't worry about the saint."

The waiter said respectfully, not yet in production? How is everything doing? How can you not be concerned? But giving birth to a child is really not so fast, after Li Er paced for a while, he sat down in front of the imperial case again, Li Er picked up a book of music and forced himself to read it, but looking at it, his mind didn't know where to go, Li Er, who came back to his senses, could only start from the beginning, and then didn't know where to float without seeing much, and finally Li Er could only helplessly put down the music again, sighed lightly, and didn't know how the war in Tubo was going, and he didn't know what was going on in Xishan? Li Yong has made so many contributions, and the people of the world have great merits, God will definitely bless Li Yong to bless Changle, the queen's phoenix left Chang'an and went to Xishan, and soon the ministers in the court understood why the emperor wanted to boycott the dynasty, why he didn't even see the ministers asking to see, it turned out that it was because Princess Changle was giving birth, and the emperor had no intention of dealing with the government because he was too worried. Which princess gave birth, and the emperor stopped the government because he cared too much? It stands to reason that the emperor quit the court because of this, and he didn't even see the ministers, which is not in accordance with the rules at all, but the officials in the court pretended to be deaf and dumb, and even Wei Zheng and others were silent. The news that Princess Changle is giving birth spreads far and wide, whether it is the ministers of the court or the people in the market, they can't help but pray, praying that Princess Changle can give birth smoothly, it is best to give birth to a big fat boy, for the ministers of the court, if Princess Changle has three long and two short, then there is no doubt that everyone will have a hard time for a long time in the future, and the people in the market pray completely out of gratitude, out of gratitude to Li Yong, because Li Yong has great kindness to the people of the world.
