There is no background to rely on, but it can be mixed to a certain status, and they are definitely smart people.

There is no doubt that Bian Lingcheng, who can be a real poor family and become a trusted eunuch by the emperor's side, is a smart person.

After getting Li Linfu's hint, Bian Lingcheng began to think about how to do this.

He knew his identity very well, and it was impossible for the eunuch who betrayed the previous emperor to be truly trusted.

Although the Ministry of Internal Service was changed to the Inner Government, and he Lingcheng also mixed up the identity of a eunuch with a division, but if he really sent the emperor on the road by drastic means, then he would definitely be thrown out as a scapegoat to calm the discussion.

Therefore, methods such as white silk, poisoning, starvation to death after cutting off supplies, and even directly using knives cannot be used.

That's not sending the emperor on the road, it's digging a pit for himself.

The best way is naturally to let the Emperor burp himself.

Li Sanlang's body is okay, and there is the old immortal service of Gao Lishi

As a smart person, Bian Lingcheng finally came up with a solution after thinking about it for a long time.

He first mixed some medicine with the meal he gave to Gao Lishi, so that he was unwell and was taken to the Tai Hospital for treatment, and Li Sanlang was the only one left in Concubine Wu Hui's bedroom.

Then the armor outside the palace retreated to the outside of the wall, closed the door of the hall and canceled the candles, making the entire palace inside and outside the eerie and silent, like a silent hill.

After that, he was looking for someone to dress up as Concubine Wu Hui, and he kept wandering outside the hall with a 'giggling' smile in his mouth.

Under the dim night, Li Sanlang, who was already uneasy because of Gao Lishi's departure, was undoubtedly frightened enough when he saw the figure that flashed out of the window from time to time.

Li Sanlang, who also killed countless times when he was young, shouldn't have been like this.

But who made him old now, who made him have already spent his ambition in the gentle township all these years of arrogance and lewdness, who made him lose the throne that gave him the most daring support, who let him be tossed to the point that he was terrified at the slightest disturbance, who let him personally order the execution of Concubine Wu Hui!

People who have ghosts in their hearts naturally fear ghosts and gods.

Li Sanlang, who was trembling, tore through the tattered futon and covered his head, curled up on the bed and cried secretly.

His former bravery and courage have long since disappeared with the loss of everything and the root of his troubles.

The current Li Sanlang is just a timid and cowardly rootless person who is only struggling to survive.

However, something that frightened Li Sanlang even more appeared, a somewhat familiar voice came into his ears through the broken quilt.

'San Lang ~ San Lang Ah~~~ Look at me, I miss you so much~~~'

Li Sanlang was so frightened that he screamed, and when he lifted the quilt in a panic, he saw a figure with long hair covering his face and a white dress standing by the bed.

'Giggle~~~'

As the figure who was close at hand gradually leaned over, looking at the gray face, Li Sanlang's throat let out a strange scream, and then his eyes rolled and he fell straight on the bed and convulsed.

It turns out that it is really possible for people to be scared to death.

In the spring of the fourth year of Tianbao, the imperial court officially announced that the emperor Li Longji missed the deceased Concubine Wu Hui, and the abolished prince Li Ying and others became ill.

Although people in the world have long known that there will be such a day, when this day really came, there were still a lot of waves.

After all, Li Sanlang at this time did not provoke the brutal massacre brought about by the Anshi Rebellion, did not force Gao Xianzhi and others to death, nor did he abandon Chang'an City and flee to Shudi, which was despised by the world, so his reputation was ruined and became a laughing stock.

There are still many people in the world who have a more positive evaluation of it.

Not to mention anything else, at least the records in the history books will not classify him as a faint king.

In Li Yunze's words, 'the sooner you die, the better your reputation.' ’

Scenery funeral or something, naturally there will be no one.

It was hastily cleaned up and soon sent into the Tailing Tomb, which had already been built.

Since then, there is no Li Sanlang in the world, only the temple number Xuanzong.

One night, the white-headed Gao Lishi left the palace and lived in seclusion near the Tailing Tomb to guard the tomb of Li Sanlang.

In any case, Li Sanlang finally has a loyal minister by his side who is loyal to death.

After ending this matter, Li Yunze can finally send troops with peace of mind.

In April, after the end of spring ploughing, Li Yunze personally led tens of thousands of forbidden troops to leave Chang'an City and drove to the right place of Longyou, Hexi.

What limited the scale of Datang's troops was never the lack of troops, but the inability to provide sufficient logistical support.

Li Yunze also has no intention of doing any technological upgrades in this world, he has done this once before, and he has no interest in coming back.

At the beginning of June, the army arrived in Longyou, and the emperor Fu Weiming, who succeeded Wang Zhongsi as the envoy of Longyou, said neatly when his majesty saw that this time he came to recapture Shibao City.

The so-called Shibao City is a dangerous place located between the Huangshui River and the West Sea (Qinghai Lake).

Because the mountain down here is the land west of the Longyou River, the Tubo people have been using this place as a base for many years, constantly harassing the west of the Heyou River, making the Tang Dynasty tired of coping.

In order to relieve this trouble, Li Yi, a famous general of the clan ten years ago, Li Er's great-grandson, and Li Ke's grandson, led the Tang army to fight a hard-fought attack at the age of seventy and successfully captured this important strategic location.

After taking here, the situation immediately reversed, and it became the Tang Dynasty to use this place as a base, constantly harassing Tubo, and consolidating the thousands of miles of land behind him.

However, in the year when Li Yunze accepted the Chan concession, Gai Jiayun, who was responsible for the defense of Shibao City and other places, indulged in wine and wanted to enter Chang'an City to go to King Qin, which led to the chaos of the army and the relaxation of the garrison, and was conquered by the main army of the Tubo people to Shibao City and Kuozhou, and habitually killed all the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Although Gai Jiayun, who managed to escape, was beheaded by Wang Zhonghe, the strategic location of Shibao City was lost.

Li Yunze came here this time to recapture this place and jam Tubo's throat.

However, Huangfu Weiming said to Li Yunze, "Shibao City is dangerously strong, and Tubo has used almost the strength of the whole country to defend Shibao City. ”

After finishing speaking, he spoke again, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is meaningless to fight with Tubo for many years, and it is better to negotiate peace. Follow the example of Princess Wencheng and marry the princess in Tubo to make peace. ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yunze, who was still smiling before, changed his face on the spot.

There was a sense of slaughter in the military tent, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Li Yunze.

"Huangfu Qing's family, do you really think so?"

Li Yunze said coldly: "The ambition of the Tibetan wolf is condescending and threatens the safety of Datang at all times. This kind of opponent must be eliminated as much as possible, how can it be said that it is friendly? ”

"Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Weiming still insisted on his opinion: "It is meaningless to attack Tubo, the plateau is a bitter cold land, and it is useless to gain it, but it is to lose soldiers and horses in vain." It's better to negotiate peace."

"Don't say it."

Li Yunze waved his hand: "This matter is not allowed!" In the future, whoever dares to speak out about peace will be beheaded! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Huangfu Weiming begged bitterly, "Stone Castle City is a dangerous place, with cliffs on one side and deep ditches and rivers on one side, and there is only one path leading to Stone Castle." This is a place of death. Throwing soldiers in order to compete for this uselessness is not done by Mingjun! The minister thought that it was best to negotiate peace with Tubo. ”

"I said, those who dare to speak up for peace will be killed!"

Li Yunze simply got up and looked at Huangfu Weiming, "If you are a me, you can't do it?" ”

"Your Majesty~~~ The land of Tubo is barren, it is indeed useless, with a princess and relatives, you can wait for a hundred years."

Before he finished speaking, Li Yunze had already kicked it out with a kick, "Left and right, drag it out and cut it!" ”

(The emperor's only clear power is to make peace with his relatives, which is recorded in the history books.) ）

"The safety and peace of the Tang Dynasty are guarded by our own warriors, how can it be exchanged for a woman's body!" After Huangfu Weiming was dragged out, Li Yunze, who was full of anger, looked around at the generals, "From now on, those who speak and love are all rebellious!" Whoever mentions peace will send his wife and daughter to make peace! ”

The generals were awe-inspiring and commanded in unison.

As soon as he came, he beheaded the Jiedu envoy, which was indeed a deterrent to the soldiers of the army, but if he failed to win, it would cause a violent backlash.

So Stone Castle City, you must take it!

The generals dispersed, and Li Yunze left Li Siye.

"Aiqing, are you willing to make a contribution?"

In the face of inquiry, Li Siye's eyes were full of brilliance, and he did not hesitate to salute, "Your Majesty, I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" ”

"Okay."

Li Yunze nodded vigorously, "What kind of environment is Stone Castle City, I guess you already know." I gave you 8,000 elites, including 2,000 Mo swordsmen. Then from the right soldiers and horses of Longyou, Hexi, selected 4,000 elite soldiers who were familiar with the local terrain. With 10,000 people to transport supplies, he immediately set out, trying to capture Shibao City before the arrival of Tibetan reinforcements. ”

"I'm here to supervise the army, and then I'll be there to support you."

"Yui!"

Li Siye, who was the commander of the forbidden army in Chang'an City, was bored all day long, and he had long wanted to go to the battlefield.

Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, he began to fight without the slightest hesitation.

According to historical records, the Tang army suffered extremely heavy losses in the Battle of Shibao City, and it is said that it was as high as tens of thousands.

Of course, Li Yunze couldn't watch tens of thousands of Tang troops die in battle, so he equipped the army with the best equipment.

At the same time, it was chosen to conduct a surprise attack before the arrival of Tibetan reinforcements.

After all, the environment near Stone Castle City is very desolate, and it is impossible to garrison a large army all year round. Until reinforcements arrived, there were only a few thousand defenders stationed here.

Once the Tibetan reinforcements arrived, it would be an endless war of attrition.

It is the lives of the elite Tang Army that are consumed!

After Li Siye selected his soldiers and horses, he hurriedly dispatched troops.

After ten days of forced marching, with losses of more than one-tenth of the troops, they finally rushed to the foot of the stone fort.

The castle is located in a high mountain valley with a drop of hundreds of meters.

Cliffs on one side and cliffs on the other, you can only follow a path that slopes upwards.

The road is very narrow and can only accommodate a dozen people at most.

After Li Siye carefully observed, he set up camp and slaughtered the cattle and horses that carried the supplies, fed the soldiers, and distributed all the drinks brought by the army.

After eating and drinking, early the next morning, with ten people in a column, the entire path was paved with great difficulty.

The Tibetan defenders had already made preparations, and they kept throwing down the wooden rolling stones, and crashed into the Tang army through the slope.

The Tang soldiers in the front row were all dead soldiers who took the initiative to sign up and held heavy shields.

Together, they formed a shield wall, stubbornly resisting the rolling stones and logs, throwing them one by one into the abyss to clear the way.

The defenders unleashed a dense rain of arrows, which literally rained down.

And the Tang army here is full of iron armor and iron shields, and the defense is as strong as a turtle shell.

Approaching Shibao City, the sergeants in the front row began to clear obstacles such as antlers and horses, and at this time the defenders at the head of the city began to attack like crazy, and the Tang army, who was busy demolishing obstacles, began to gradually increase casualties.

Li Siye came with the attitude of becoming a benevolent if he did not succeed, so the sergeants in the column could only move forward and could not retreat.

After the soldiers in the front row were damaged in battle, they were pushed into the pit by the rear row to fill the pit.

As the losses grew, the Tang army, which had followed one after another, even gradually accumulated to a height close to the city wall.

At this time, Li Siye dropped his armor, raised the snowy Mo knife in his hand, and walked towards the city wall with firm steps.

Behind him were two thousand brave and unparalleled Mo swordsmen!
