Chapter 851: The Prisoner of the Steps

Cheng Yanjin ate a big bowl of meat, and then couldn't wait to serve it, he finally opened his mouth to speak, and said with a smile.

"Princess, princess, the old man said fairly, this Tubo is in the hands of Lu Dongzan, it is better to fall into the hands of our Tang Dynasty."

Wei Chigong nodded.

"Yes, Songtsen Gampo is a hero, we fight openly on the battlefield, compared to martial arts and strategy, but we both admire each other very much, because of sympathy, even if the horse leather shroud died on the battlefield, there is no resentment, but Lu Dongzan and other ministers ambushed their own kings, it is really despicable, if Tubo falls into the hands of Lu Dongzan, it is the sky without eyes, and the heavens are intolerable."

Mengsa Chijiang said softly.

"I also understand that Tubo should not fall into the hands of Lu Dongzan, I just hope that Datang can treat the people of Tubo well."

Cheng Yanjin suddenly slapped his chest on the sound of Bang Bang when he heard it, and said loudly.

"Don't worry, princess, we saints have always loved the people like sons, and when we occupy Tubo, the people of Tubo are the people of our Tang Dynasty, can you still believe my words from Lao Cheng?"

Li Yong, Xu Shiji and others looked at Cheng Yanjin's mouth full of oil, beating his chest and spitting while holding the broth, it was really hard to believe, Mengsa Chijiang said softly.

"Guogong's words, I naturally believed it!"

Well, Lu Guogong's words can't be believed, but Rongfu County's words can be believed, and with the skill of speaking, Wei Chigong also filled a big bowl of broth, and even Xue Wanche couldn't help but be tempted to run over and fill another bowl of broth and then ran away, Xu Shiji just picked up the bowl and suddenly found that there was not much meat in the pot, and there was no good air.

"You foodies, just hold you to death!"

filled a big bowl, and Xu Shiji also squatted and ate it in a big gulp.

"It's delicious, the meat is delicious, the soup is even more delicious, and the dough is also delicious to soak in the soup, and it's so comfortable to have such a hot and fragrant bowl of meat after the war, which is satisfying!"

Xu Shiji sighed while eating, and Cheng Bingjin shouted.

"What are you satisfied with? If you come to a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of fat sausages, and a jar of heaven, then it is called satisfaction! ”

Wei Chigong shouted.

"Cheng Laoyou, can you not mention the braised pork, fat intestines, and a line of sky, the labor and management who listened to it are hungry again!"

Cheng Yanjin glared at Wei Chi Gong and said with a straight face.

"Actually, we have won such a big battle today, we should drink a celebratory wine!"

Wei Chigong nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, princess, princess, today Lu Dongzan is a traitor, don't you want to drink two glasses of wine to celebrate the revenge?"

Monsa Chijiang asked in surprise.

"Is there any alcohol in this army?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Don't bother with them, they're the idea of drinking."

These alcohols are not industrial alcohol, but distilled from grains, so they can be drunk with a little water, Xu Shiji said with a smile.

"Okay, don't think about it, we didn't bring much alcohol with us on this expedition to the plateau, and we have to keep it for the treatment of wounded soldiers, you take a sip of it means that a wounded soldier lacks wine and delicate injuries, and lacks wine and delicate injuries, then he may die of sentimentality, so you should eat meat with your head bored!"

In fact, Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin also understood this truth, but they couldn't help but talk about it greedily, what if Li Yong secretly hid a few altars of heaven? Monsa Chijiang said with a smile.

"Actually, I still have a few packets of mare's milk wine here, so I'll give them to Guogong."

The plateau is very cold at night in winter, especially when the army is out, mare's milk wine can keep out the cold, so although Mengsa Chijiang is a woman, they are also holding a few packets of mare's milk wine on horseback, when they were in Luoqicheng, Cheng Biting Jin They also drank mare's milk wine, but although this mare's milk wine has a unique flavor, it is really bland and tasteless compared with the first-line heavenly liquor, drinking mare's milk wine not only can not satisfy the cravings, but it can also hook out the gluttony in the stomach, Wei Chigong, Cheng Biting Jin shook his head again and again.

"Thank you for the kindness of the princess, no need, no need."

Xu Shiji burped and got up.

"Okay, you're full of food and drink, it's time to work, Su boy, you are here to accompany the princess and princess!"

Wei Chigong and Cheng Yanjin also got up and turned over their horses and left with Xu Shiji, although the battle was over, there were still many things to deal with, camping, captives, wounded soldiers, and counting casualties, Li Yong still sat there and did not move, the casualties of the Shenji Battalion were not large, just leave it to Xue Wanche to do, Mengsa Chijiang quietly watched Xu Shiji leave, she suddenly understood a little, why this Tang army defeated Zampu's army, and defeated Lu Dongzan's army, this army is not only very elite, And she can feel that the relationship between Li Yong's generals is very close, the atmosphere in the army is very harmonious, there is strict military discipline, and the relationship between the soldiers is very harmonious, of course such an army will be invincible, a child's cry will wake up Mengsa Chijiang from his trance, this day the child has suffered a lot, he fell asleep after drinking mare's milk at that time, and woke up again at this time, Li Yong hurriedly said.

"The princess should take the child to the tent to rest, if there is anything you need, just let someone come to me, come, send some hot water, mare's milk, and food to the princess, and send my quilt to the princess."

After the order, Li Yong explained.

"The quilt is stuffed with cotton, it is very soft and warm, and I hope the princess will not dislike it, and the night is cold, don't freeze the little prince."

Originally, Mengsa Chijiang also prepared a lot of skins, but because of the war, the war horses carrying the skins had long been lost, and Mengsa Chijiang stood up with the child in his arms and bowed slightly.

"Then thank you."

Mengsa Chijiang took the child and took the maid to the big tent, the soldiers sent the hot water and towels, mare's milk, food, and quilts to the maid, and handed them to the maids, and only Li Yong and Princess Zhenzhu were left around the bonfire, and even the soldiers walked away with interest, and there was still noise in the distance, but the campfire seemed a little quiet, and the crackling sound of the firewood burning could be heard, and the princess of Zhenzhu sat there with her arms around her, looking lonely and lonely, Li Yong got up and took off the coat from the horse, walked over, and draped the coat on her body, Princess Zhenzhu looked up at Li Yong, her eyes were full of complicated looks.

"This is my cotton coat, it's very warm to wear, you can wear it, and you can cover it at night, it's an artifact to keep out the cold."

Li Yong explained with a smile, this cotton coat is indeed very warm on the body, the body is very warm, and the heart is also very warm, Princess Zhenzhu said quietly.

"When I left Chang'an, I was thinking about when I would see you again, but I never thought about it, and I was already a prisoner when I said goodbye."

Li Yong was very helpless when he heard this, who treated you as a prisoner? Cook for you, approve your clothes, and patiently comfort you, do the prisoners have this treatment? However, Li Yong also understands her feelings, the country is ruined and the family must be self-pitying, Li Yong sat down next to her and said with a smile.

"Who made you a prisoner? I can treat you as a distinguished guest, this time to Chang'an, you are a distinguished guest of the Tang Dynasty, even the saint and the queen will treat you as a distinguished guest. ”

Princess Pearl asked, looking up.

"Really?"

Li Yong nodded.

"Really, of course it's true, it's more real than real gold! I know that you feel uncomfortable, war is actually the collective will of a country, not subject to the will of individuals, two powerful countries bordering each other, that will definitely fight for interests, until one side falls or surrenders, so, in this war, no one is right or wrong. ”

Who is right and who is wrong, it is really unclear, it was Tubo who first launched a large army to attack Tuyuhun, the new territory of the Tang Dynasty, and then the Tang army sent troops to meet the battle, and then attacked Tubo, thinking of this, Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but sigh faintly.

"You men! Why do we have to fight? ”

"The side of the couch should not allow others to snore, this is the truth."

Li Yong explained, and then Li Yong sighed again.

"Actually, I don't like to fight either, I also hope that the world is peaceful, isn't it good to drink and have fun in Chang'an? But this person, as long as he lives in the world, there will be times when he can't help himself, even if he is the son of heaven, he is not exempt from vulgarity, in fact, when I heard that there was civil strife in Tibet, I was very worried about you. ”

Princess Zhenzhu turned her head to look at Li Yong and asked.

"Really?"

Li Yong nodded seriously.

"Of course it's true, Lu Dongzan rebelled, he won't let you go, I thought at that time, even if the saint doesn't send troops, I will find a way to rescue you and take you back to Chang'an, although Chang'an is not your hometown, but there are still people who really care about you, it's better than you staying in the Tubo Dynasty."

Princess Zhenzhu said quietly.

"The mountains and rivers have fallen, the family is ruined, if it weren't for worrying about Gongri Gongzan, I would have wanted to die a long time ago."

actually had the idea of committing suicide, this kind of thought is unacceptable, Li Yong hurriedly relieved.

"You don't want this thought, you still have relatives and friends, they all care about you, aren't you worried about Gongri Gongzan? Then you should live harder, I am a very strict teacher, if he is naughty, I will beat the handboard, hit his two hands swollen like meat dumplings, if there is his aunt to protect it, then I will beat it lighter, after all, his aunt is not easy to provoke, I am a bully and afraid of the hard. ”

Princess Zhenzhu couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, looking at Li Yong's gaze was very speechless, even the prince dared to beat violently, and dared to throw his face to show the emperor, you said that you bully the soft and fear the hard? However, Princess Zhenzhu thought of the scene where Gongri Gongzan was beaten by Li Yong and then ran to find her to protect her, and suddenly felt very interesting, as if life in Chang'an in the future seemed to be good, Li Yong stretched out his hand to hold Princess Zhenzhu's hand, and said seriously.

"So, you must live well, watch Gongri Gongzan grow up, watch him start a family, you just treat Chang'an as your home, don't be afraid of being wronged, someone will support you, if anyone dares to bully you, then you go to Changle, she is your good sister, and there is no one in the entire Tang Dynasty that she dare not provoke, and she dares to pull out the emperor's beard."

When Princess Zhenzhu heard this, her face showed a crying and laughing expression, and she was speechless.

"I thought you were going to support me, I still have to count on Sister Changle for affection!"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Hey, if a man bullies you, then I don't have to say, of course I will stand up for you, but which man do you think would bully a woman? It's more likely that you're being wronged in the women's pile, and I'm not going to be able to get ahead of this, I'm a man, right? In fact, that's just what you say, you won't be wronged, the saint and the queen will be very polite to you, who wouldn't be interested? At the beginning, when I received that letter, I knew that the letter was fake, and Changle was very worried about you at that time, if I knew that you returned to Chang'an, Changle would be very happy. ”

"I miss her too, I, I miss you too, is she okay?"

Princess Zhenzhu lowered her head slightly and asked a little shyly, Li Yong smiled.

"If you count the time, the child should have been born."

Princess Zhenzhu looked up in surprise when she heard this.

"Huh? Changle was already pregnant with a baby before you set out? ”

Nonsense, otherwise how was it born? Li Yong couldn't laugh or cry.

"yes."

"Then you still lead the troops to the battle?"

Princess Zhenzhu muttered with some dissatisfaction, if Li Yong hadn't gone on the expedition, there wouldn't have been so many things, Li Yong shook his head slightly.

"The public is the public, the private is the private, and the public cannot be abolished because of the private."

Princess Zhenzhu sighed.

"Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, Sister Changle has given birth to a baby, it's time to say hello to you, congratulations!"

After saying that, Princess Zhenzhu also learned the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and bowed her hand to Li Yong, Li Yong smiled.

"Thank you."

"Shouldn't you say Tongxi? I'm so happy. ”

Princess Zhenzhu smiled, and Li Yong nodded again and again.

"Okay, okay, happy, happy."

Princess Zhenzhu does have a sincere smile on her face, but she has been haggard a lot in the past six months, and her face is no longer as cheerful and lively as it used to be, Li Yong is also very emotional in his heart, since Songtsan Gampo was ambushed by Lu Dongzan, she should have borne a lot.

"You've lost a lot of weight."

Li Yong said with some distress, and Princess Zhenzhu smiled.

"I've been worried and scared these days, and I can't sleep well, can I not lose weight?"

Li Yong said with a smile.

"Then, from today onwards you can sleep peacefully, you must be tired these days, go to sleep, sleep well, and nourish your spirit."

Now that she has put down all the burdens on her body, Princess Zhenzhu really feels very tired, she nodded.

"Well, you go to bed early, too. Now, your coat. ”

"It's cold at night, you can take it and cover it!"

Li Yong put the coat on Princess Zhenzhu again.

"Cover me, what are you going to do?"

Princess Zhenzhu asked, and Li Yong said with a smile.

"Don't worry, there is a superfluous, how can I say that I am also the county prince, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, can it still be frozen?"

Princess Zhenzhu nodded, raised her head, stepped forward and reached out to hug Li Yong, and muttered.

"Li Yong, thank you! I, I, I have nothing left, and I don't know how to repay you. ”

Li Yong patted her fragrant shoulder and said softly.

"Don't think so much, rest well, everything will be fine."
