Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Western Regions Incident

Zhang Yang handed the soy sauce to Ding Yu and asked, "How is the situation in the store recently?" ”

Walking into the store with Zhang Yang, Ding Yu talked about the current situation in the store, although the business in the store is not as good as it was during the previous autumn hunt, but it is good that it has made a reputation.

There are also many repeat customers.

Why bother still being busy in the kitchen, a big pot of braised pork is steaming.

Zhang Yang looked at the account book in the store, and after confirming that there was no problem, he took the money and left.

The store has always been in business, why bother with Ding Yu to be busy.

I have to say why bother inside the master, the cooperation between the two of them is also very good.

Calculating today's profits, Zhang Yang took his share of the money and left the store.

Seeing that Zhang Yang didn't sit in the store for a while, Ding Yu whispered to Why Bother: "Brother Xiao Zhang, do you have other things to do?" ”

Why bother while putting braised pork on a plate and saying, "Don't be verbose, hurry up and work." ”

"Hey."

Ding Yu then greeted the guests.

Zhang Yang drove the horse to the city and sold the horse.

Pulling the car home, there were a lot of building materials on the car, which were all sent by His Royal Highness King Wei.

The relationship with Li Tai, the king of Wei, should be kept at a good distance.

Can't get too close to him.

It is better to offend him than to have any glory or riches, than to get into the same boat with him.

Living in this world, Zhang Yang has his own way of living and his own guidelines.

Don't rely on others and keep your distance from as many people as possible.

In this world, struggling to survive, even if there are well-meaning people who lend a hand and don't know the purpose, Zhang Yang will decisively refuse.

Li Yue saw Zhang Yang pulling a pile of wood and stones into the yard, and hurriedly helped move the things down.

"These things are used to repair our house, right?"

Li Yue struggled to take down a package from the car, and inside the package were some iron nails.

Zhang Yang wiped his sweat and said, "Be careful, don't prick yourself." ”

"Hmm."

Li Yue nodded in agreement.

Mix the sand with some yellow mud and barely make a paint.

Sawn wood, built walls, and fixed them with iron nails.

Li Yue watched Zhang Yang do these things skillfully.

Place some stones neatly in the corners of the yard.

It was busy until the evening, and both husband and wife were quite tired.

Looking at the new wall that had been built, Li Yue's little face was full of a sense of accomplishment, "This is a wall we built ourselves." ”

Zhang Yang said: "Tomorrow I will repair the other wall, and then the roof."

"Hmm!"

At night, Li Tai gnawed on a leg of mutton fiercely in his mansion, "Is he really so disgusted with me in his heart?" ”

Taking a bite of mutton under his eyes, Li Tai turned his head to look at the subordinates on the side, "Do you say that this Wang Chang is so hated?" ”

Everyone in the house shook their heads in a panic.

Li Tai took another bite of the leg of mutton, "This king obviously wants to make friends with him very sincerely." ”

In the morning, Zhang Yang was making breakfast, and breakfast was a bowl of porridge for one person, plus a scallion oil poached egg, and a mille-feuille cake made by himself.

Li Yue likes to eat poached eggs very much.

A poached egg and a bowl of porridge can fill her.

Handing the cake to Zhang Yang, Li Yue said, "You eat more, you have to do a lot of physical work today." ”

"Hmm."

Zhang Yang gobbled up the pancakes.

After eating, take a break to eat.

Li Yue takes care of his garden.

Aunt Wang next door also got up early, and when she saw the couple, she said, "You all got up so early today?" ”

Zhang Yang said: "Aunt Wang is going to buy vegetables?" ”

Aunt Wang smiled and nodded.

Zhang Yang said: "Trouble Aunt Wang, can you help me go to the market and bring some food?" ”

Aunt Wang covered her mouth and smiled: "What kind words do you say, they are all neighbors, and if you want Aunt Wang to bring something back, just say it." ”

Zhang Yang wrote on a piece of cloth and handed it to her and said, "I wrote it all on it, I'm troublesome Aunt Wang." ”

Aunt Wang took it with a smile, looked at the writing on it and said suspiciously: "Two eggs, a fish, three taels of mutton, a pot of rice noodles, these can all be bought, this duck blood?" ”

Zhang Yang continued: "There should be freshly killed ducks on the street, and you can order fresh duck blood by the way. ”

Generally, duck blood is something that few people will buy on weekdays.

Aunt Wang nodded and said, "Auntie brought it to you." ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Wang put away the note and walked out of the house.

The sun shines into the yard

The couple continued to decorate the house.

Li Yue is in charge of and mud.

Zhang Yang built the wall with patches of trimmed stones.

Li Yue struggled to carry a bucket of reconciled mud and handed it to Zhang Yang.

There was already a fine layer of sweat on her forehead.

Although Li Yue has anemia, proper exercise is also good for her.

After the wall was built, Zhang Yang mixed lime and sand and plastered it on the wall.

The two husbands and wives were busy, and Li Yue's little face was not embarrassed.

However, thinking that this is a house where he and Zhang Yang will live for a long time in the future, Li Yue feels that this is nothing embarrassing.

After finishing their work, the two sat in the courtyard and rested.

Zhang Yang said to Li Yue: "Our building materials, especially the calcination method of lime, must not be told to others casually. ”

Li Yue said curiously: "Why? ”

The water boiling on the small stove was boiling, Zhang Yang poured a bowl of hot water for Li Yue and said, "Some secrets are best known only to the two of us." ”

Li Yue smiled and nodded.

Set the boiling water aside and wait until it is cold before drinking.

It was almost noon, and Aunt Wang returned.

Li Yue took the things that Aunt Wang brought, gave the money and said; "Thank you, Auntie."

Aunt Wang looked at Li Yue's appearance, because she had to repair the house, Li Yue looked a little embarrassed now, and there was still some mud on her clothes.

Just looking at Aunt Wang, she was a little distressed, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie can help you go and repair the house together." ”

Li Yue shook his head and said, "It's good for our husband and wife to repair the house by ourselves." ”

She still had a smile on her face when she said this.

It seems that repairing the house with Zhang Yang is also a very happy thing for her.

Aunt Wang said again: "If there is anything you need Auntie's help with, just say." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Yue walked back to the yard with a bunch of things.

Duck blood soup is actually a very good dish.

The powerful may not look down on duck blood.

But his cover, my treasure.

Compared with jade plate delicacies, the poor people's homes are the places where food is produced.

The lamb is diced, wild vegetables and green onions are also diced, and the fresh duck blood that has congealed into chunks is also diced and boiled together to make soup.

Beat two eggs and fry them in a pan to make an omelette.

The meal was served, and I was already hungry after a busy morning.

Just looking at the dishes, Li Yue's appetite was opened.

No matter what kind of dish, in Zhang Yang's hands, there is always a use for turning decay into magic.

Drinking a mouthful of soup made of duck blood and eating a mouthful of rice, Li Yue squinted his eyes with satisfaction, even the egg Zhang Yang can make it in a different way, there are always some strange meals.

Zhang Yang ate and said: "It's autumn, and I have to prepare some pickles another day." ”

The couple finished the two dishes in front of them.

Let out a sigh of relief.

Zhang Yang's skills are very high, Li Yue doesn't want to fall behind, at least he feels that he doesn't want to be too far away from Zhang Yang, he has to make himself smarter, Li Yue thought in his heart.

Life can't waste time, Li Yue knows that Zhang Yang doesn't have those lofty ideals, he just wants to live a good life.

It is said that boys should be promoted to the first rank.

But for Zhang Yang, not wasting time in the cognition of others is not wasting time.

Just thinking about it, Li Yue saw that Zhang Yang didn't know when he had climbed onto the roof.

"Daughter-in-law, hand me the wood." Zhang Yang said from the roof.

Li Yue picked up the wood prepared on the side and handed it to Zhang Yang.

The roof tiles didn't look like much, but the wooden frame under the tiles was badly corroded.

Zhang Yang banged on the roof, replacing it with a wooden frame.

Li Yue cleaned the yard.

Outside the pass, Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses have been mobilized particularly frequently these days, and Niu Jinda, who rushed to Yumen Pass, is sorting out the fortifications.

In my ears is the guard here who reports on the situation of the day.

The guards were also puzzled, and the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses that disturbed the border a few days ago withdrew inexplicably.

A soldier hurriedly ran and said, "General! I just received the news from outside the customs that there were some clashes between the soldiers and horses of Tubo and the soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun. ”

Niu Jinda frowned and said, "How big a conflict?" ”

"Thousands of soldiers and horses on both sides fought together."

Niu Jinda pondered for a while and said: "Pass my general order, send a few people who can speak the Western Regions, put on the clothes of the Western Regions people to attack the garrison of the Tubo people at night, and be sure to let the other party know that it is Tuyuhun's soldiers and horses." ”

"Whoa!"

The soldier hurriedly went to run errands.

At this moment, the situation in the rear of Tuyuhun is developing as originally planned.

Niu Jinda continued to listen to the report of the guard, the current king of Tuyuhun is a very arbitrary and arrogant guy.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of provoking the current Datang.

Hearing this, Niu Jinda's heart was a little more sure.

News continued to arrive in Liangzhou City for several days.

After several harassments, Songtsen Gampo was not fooled.

Songtsen Gampo was quite clever and knew that there should be fraud in this, but the king of Tuyuhun was annoyed by the Tubo people who offended his territory several times.

Now where does the king of Tuyuhun still have the mind to fight the Tang Dynasty.

Directly led the soldiers and horses all the way west to attack Tibet.

Hearing the news, Niu Jinda couldn't cry or laugh.

Now the big thing has happened.

Niu Jinda wrote a military newspaper and said: "Send it to the DPRK immediately." ”

"Whoa!"

Packing up his armor, Niu Jinda said to the guards on the side: "You must be wise, and if you don't have wisdom, you will be used as a sword." ”

The guards didn't quite understand, the meaning of Niu Jinda's words was just a strong nod, they didn't know how much the court had done in secret.

How many eyeliners blow in the ears of King Tuyuhun.

How many fine works of the Tang Dynasty are there in Tibet.

That's where we have now.

Datang is a veteran of scheming, and the people of the Central Plains do not necessarily rely on brute force to fight, but in the art of war and the calculation of people's hearts.

The Central Plains is the old man's house.

The people of the Western Regions are novices at best.

"General, what are we going to do now?" The guard asked, bowing down.

Niu Jinda stood at the head of the city, looking all the way west from here, and he whispered: "Wait for the arrangement of the court." ”

Tuyuhun and Tubo fought.

The battle was fought a little suddenly.

Even Tang Xuanzang, who was in Tuyuhun, was caught off guard, people were still in Tuyuhun to save all sentient beings, and the next moment the pious young man in front of him was dragged to fight.

Tang Xuanzang, who was originally full of ambition, suffered a great blow at this moment.

I also don't let you preach the Dharma well.

On the other side of Tuyuhun, the Tubo army is waiting for it at this moment.

Songtsen Gampo lost his temper in his big tent, "Is this Tuyuhun king a fool!" ”

Tubo's great minister Lu Dongzan said: "We didn't expect Tuyuhun to really do it. ”

Songtsen Gampo smashed the thing in front of him, "How can there be such a coincidence, there happened to be a night attack by the Tuyuhun people, so he said that this matter was wrong, and said that he was sent by the king of Tuyuhun, isn't this a conspiracy?" ”

Lu Dongzan let out a long sigh, the matter has come to this, Tuyuhun has unilaterally started a war against Tubo.

Originally, Tubo didn't want to fight this battle, but there was friction between Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo was ready to sit on the tiger fight, and even planned to take advantage of the fisherman.

Who would have thought that this Tuyuhun king would be anxious when he said that he was in a hurry.

Songtsen Ganbu paced back and forth angrily and said: "I have sent someone to him several times and told him that this is all someone else's conspiracy, and Tubo has no idea of starting a war with Tuyuhun at all. ”

"While someone was attacking Tuyuhun's border, Zampu sent people to the king of Tuyuhun to say that Tubo did not intend to attack Tuyuhun......"

Listening to Lu Dongzan's words, Songtsen Gampo seemed to understand something.

It's like you punch someone and say you didn't mean it......

At only nineteen years old, it was the young and vigorous Songtsen Gampo who scratched his head and came back to his senses and said, "Do you mean that our reaction is right in their hands? ”

Lu Dongzan nodded slightly, "Maybe King Tuyuhun has someone else's fine work around him, and it's good to be bewitched by words, rather than offending the Tang Dynasty again and making Tuyuhun displease, it's better to start a war with us." ”

A word woke up the dreamer, Songtsen Gampo smiled bitterly, "It's a trick." ”

Lu Dongzan said again: "The one who is most happy to see this scene is the current Tian Khan, that is, His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Those small countries in the Western Regions did not dare to conflict with Tibet or Tugu.

Songtsen Gampo's eyes looked at the east and whispered, "Is this the art of war in the population of the Central Plains?" Thousands of miles away, let's start a war with Tuyuhun. ”

Lu Dongzan said in a low voice: "Some of the military books of the Central Plains people are amazing, and they are full of a lot of wisdom. ”

Songtsen Gampo said; "Let people bring some to Tibet, I want to take a good look."

Lu Dongzan nodded and asked people to do something.

The battle report of Liangzhou went all the way in the direction of Chang'an City, and half a month later, the battle report reached Li Shimin's eyes.

Li Shimin looked at the battle report and nodded, "Good, good, good!" ”

said three times in a row, Li Shimin patted the case and said; "Tuyuhun and Tubo really did it."

The people who fought in the Taiji Hall were once again summoned into the Ganlu Hall by Li Shimin.

Now Li Shimin is majestic on the surface, but he is still very excited in his heart, and at this moment he wants to say that he is excited to say that the fight has started, and he has beaten them.

But as the Heavenly Khan, His Majesty of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin stabilized his expression very solemnly, and asked the little eunuch on the side to hand over the military report, and he said in a deep voice: "The matter has come to this, what do you think should happen next?" ”
