A delicate carriage made of red jujube wood, under the escort of countless Turkic cavalry, slowly arrived at the city of Nagqu.

Li Xuan, dressed in a purple python robe, stood under the city gate.

Behind him, Heiya Changzhi, Tang Zhenxing, Qiu Zhenmu, Li Duozuo, Cui Ding and other generals, as well as Xiao Siye, Yang Zhirou, Wei Hongji and others, all stood with their hands tied.

The carriage stopped, and the curtain lifted.

A sixty-year-old woman wearing a gold silk robe on a black background sat in a carriage, served by two young Tibetan women beside her.

"Minister, the head of the march of the Luo Dao, the governor of Changzhou, the assassin of Changzhou, the general of the right guard of the inspection school, the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple of the inspection school, the prince of the inspection school Shao Zhan Shi, the inspection of the school Shangyao Fengyu, the bachelor of the Hongwen Pavilion, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, the guard, the general Yunlu, Prince Peng, the king of Nanchang, and the generals and officials of the Luo Dao to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Wen Chang."

Li Xuan took a step forward slightly, bowed heavily to Princess Wencheng who was lying in the carriage.

"The ministers meet Her Royal Highness Princess Wen Chang." Hei Tooth Changzhi, Xiao Siye, Wei Hongji and others, all bowed down.

Inside the carriage, Princess Wencheng, whose face was a little pale, with gray hair and wrinkles on her face, but still in good spirits, smiled at Li Xuan gently: "Everyone, please get up, I never thought that after many years, I would see people from my hometown again." ”

"It's the incompetence of the ministers, and they should have gone to Luo to greet His Highness in person, but His Majesty has an order, and the ministers must take His Highness back to Beijing this year, but now it's late autumn, and if I wait, I'm afraid it's cold and difficult to do......"

After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Princess Wencheng cautiously: "Your Highness seems to be unwell?" ”

"It's a bit bumpy, but it's not a big deal." Princess Wencheng looked at Li Xuan with a smile and said, "Just now Twenty-Seven Lang said that he is also a medicine minister, so it is better to come and take a look for Lonely." ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan bowed his hand, boarded the carriage, and said backwards: "Go to the governor's mansion." ”

"Whoa!" The crowd will give up at the same time.

……

Inside the carriage, Princess Wencheng looked at the city outside through the curtain of the carriage.

After a long time, she looked back at Li Xuan, who let go of her wrist, and said with a smile: "This city, I have been here many times in my early years, but I didn't expect that this city would become the territory of Datang, and Datang actually has a famous general like Twenty-Seven Lang." ”

Li Xuan arched his hand and said with a cautious expression: "Your Highness's body is a little weak, and there is a lot of empty consumption, and after returning to Chang'an, you still need to recuperate." ”

"Oh, and you're still able to recuperate?" Princess Wencheng looked at Li Xuan in surprise and said, "When I was in Luo, I found the most famous doctor in Tibet, and he said that I would definitely not live this year. ”

"That's why Your Highness needs to return to Chang'an quickly, if you can, it's best to go to Luoyang or Jiangnan for the winter, so that your health will get better faster." Li Xuan mentioned it slightly, and Princess Wencheng immediately understood.

"It turned out that it was still a problem of water and soil, and after so many years, the problem of plateau barriers is still there." Princess Wencheng finally figured everything out.

Princess Wencheng raised her head and whispered: "Jiangnan, Jiangnan." ”

Although Princess Wencheng was the adopted daughter of Emperor Taizong, she was actually the daughter of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia.

In the early years of Yonghui, Songtsen Gampo and Li Daozong died one after another, and she almost became a loner.

The new king of Tibet did not respect her very much, and she was even forced to live in the Jokhang Monastery for a time, and later settled in Pabangka, north of the Logos.

Looking at the palace of the Tibetan king, but never returning.

"Lu Guogong has arrived in Chang'an, and after His Royal Highness goes back, he should be able to see Lu Guogong and Mrs. Fuyang Hou, all in Chang'an." Li Xuan introduced it a little.

Lu Guogong is Li Daozong's son, Li Jingheng.

After Li Daozong was framed by the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang, Li Jingheng was demoted to Lu Guogong.

The Marquis of Fuyang is the waiter of the Criminal Department, Wei Zhibei, who married the sister of Princess Wencheng.

In addition to Li Daozong, who was exiled and died of illness that year, there are actually many people in the family who are still there.

Hearing these names, Princess Wencheng's expression couldn't help but be a little dazed.

Li Xuan continued: "Your Highness should have seen Your Majesty back then, in addition, Uncle Han Wang, Uncle Huo Wang, Uncle Zhuang Wang, and other Uncle Wang, and the imperial aunt are still there...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the third son of His Majesty, is a simple and benevolent person, if His Royal Highness returns to Beijing, I hope to be able to mention a few words. ”

Princess Wencheng remembered everyone and everything Li Xuan said word by word, and nodded slowly.

It wasn't until Li Xuan finished talking about the current situation in Chang'an, the grassland, and the Luo Dao, that Princess Wencheng returned to reality in a trance.

Looking at the young Li Xuan, Princess Wencheng sighed lightly and said: "Twenty-seven Lang, a young talent, I'm afraid even the first emperor didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would be able to kill all the way from Tuyuhun to Nagqu, and even the former army had already arrived under the city of Luoqi. ”

Not only did Emperor Taizong not think of it, but I am afraid that even Songtsen Gampo would not have thought of it either.

Li Xuan groaned slightly, and then said: "Everything is forced to be helpless, these years, Tubo has been bent on advancing north, trapping Tuguhun, harassing Longyou, there is the battle of Dafeichuan, and even trying to unite the Turks, Silla, the Wa Kingdom, and the internal troubles in the DPRK and China, trying to destroy my Tang Dynasty, so that the minister was forced to go to the battlefield of Tubo. ”

Thinking of many past events, Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "Da Feichuan was lucky, and the revenge of the defeat of the year, after the party and Subi, it was on the Qinling to try to lengthen the grain road, but unfortunately, the minister used the army to stabilize the situation in the Tongtian River, and then found the flaw of Subi, and finally broke the Tanggula Mountain and fell into Naqu. ”

Princess Wencheng listened quietly, and many of Li Xuan's words were involuntarily.

The two armies clashed, the enemy retreated and we advanced, and we retreated and the enemy advanced, and there was no room for the slightest hesitation.

Li Xuan has quite some means, and the Qinling Tomb relies on the terrain.

But it's a pity that he can always be found weak by Li Xuan, defeated again and again, and even now.

"By the way, I heard that he was in Naqu before the Qinling, so now is he?" Princess Wencheng looked at Li Xuan with a solemn face.

Li Xuan fell silent and said slowly, "He's still alive." ”

……

"At least we say he's alive." Li Xuan stood under the dark eaves, and then gently pushed open the door inside.

Princess Wencheng stood in front of the door, and behind her was a deep courtyard, and it was impossible to see where it was, but there were countless black-clothed soldiers guarding it tightly.

Eyes fell on the empty hall, there was no coffin in it, Princess Wencheng looked sideways at Li Xuan, took a deep breath, and said: "No matter what, Lu Dongzan and I have a bit of human affection, and over the years, the Gar family has not embarrassed me too much. ”

Li Xuan took a step back and arched his hand: "Your Highness, please." ”

"Good!" Princess Wencheng walked into the hall, the air inside was warm, there was no cool air, and there was no rancid smell, Princess Wencheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and she saw a sixty-year-old man wearing a white and gold robe lying there silently on the bed in the inner hall.

Princess Wencheng stopped, her eyes hesitated, too quiet, quiet like ......

"He's dead." Li Xuan didn't know when, stood behind Princess Wencheng, looked at the corpse lying on the bed with a cold face, and then said calmly: "Ten days ago, he was hit by an arrow from the minister, his five organs were damaged, he bled too much, and he died that night, but someone poisoned him, so that his body did not rot and looked like a living person, and then found an accent to use to deceive everyone. ”

Princess Wencheng was silent, and after a long time, she said faintly: "He still died in the hands of Twenty-Seven Lang." ”

"Sort of." Li Xuan nodded, and then said: "Xuan is still thinking about what to do with his body, whether to send it to Chang'an like this, or to declare that he is still alive, or to escape from Naqu, or to fall into Xuan's hands, so mobilize the Tubo army, seize the opportunity, and then defeat it with one blow." ”

The corners of Princess Wencheng's mouth twitched slightly, and she finally understood why Li Xuan was able to finally kill that song.

Always trying to make the opponent show his flaws, always ready to seize the opportunity to attack.

Such an enemy is undoubtedly the most terrible.

"He's too old, so, he's dead." Princess Wencheng sighed lightly, she finally knew where the Qin Ling had lost now.

Fighting against people like Li Xuan, you need to maintain enough energy, but on Qinling is obviously insufficient.

In other words, there is a shortage of reserve talents in Tibet.

When the Qinling Tomb needed to rest, Li Xuan was thinking about how to break the enemy day and night.

When Tan Qinling's mind couldn't help but go blank, and even his memory was blurred, Li Xuan had already thought of a strategy against him.

When Qin Ling was injured and needed to rest, Li Xuan had already killed him.

One step at a time, there is simply no room for respite.

This is Li Xuan, this is the king of Nanchang in the Tang Dynasty.

Princess Wencheng turned sideways, looked at Li Xuan suspiciously, and subconsciously asked, "Your Majesty ......?"

As soon as the words came out, Princess Wencheng sensed that something was wrong and quickly closed her mouth.

Li Xuan shook his head indifferently, and arched his hand in the direction of Chang'an with a grateful expression: "Xuan lost his father since he was a child, and he had been trained in Zuo Qianniu Wei in his early years, and he was taken care of by His Majesty......

After the capture of Luo, there is also the throne of the heir Peng King, and Xuan's eldest son also has the position of the king of the county, and everything is enough. ”

Princess Wencheng's expression became solemn, she could hear that Li Xuan had the idea of giving up military power.

Once he takes Luo Qi, Li Xuan is likely to directly give up his military power and turn to enjoy himself.

After Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, was framed for rebellion, he began to indulge in wine and fun, and finally died violently.

At that time, Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, that is, the father of Princess Wencheng, was also framed for rebellion, and finally died of illness in exile.

The clan that really holds the military power of the Tang Dynasty seems to have to die in the end.

Li Xuan is still young, and he already has this kind of thought, not because of these reasons.

"Twenty-seven Lang is joking, now Twenty-seven Lang thinks the most, I'm afraid that he wants to fight into Luo and reach Tubo, that is the work of destroying the country, that is, the entire Tang Dynasty, and few people can compare." Princess Wencheng calmed down and saw through Li Xuan's true thoughts at a glance.

After the destruction of Tibet, Li Xuan did not need to be in charge of military power anymore, and his purpose in ruling military power was for military merit.

Once the military merits of destroying the country are in hand, there is naturally no need to take charge of the military power anymore, but first, it is necessary to take down some Luo and exterminate Tibet.

There was a bloody battle, even a massacre.

Li Xuan seriously arched his hand: "I want to ask Your Highness what the situation is, so as to determine the whereabouts of Qinling's corpse." ”
