Song Liangchen's strange eyes glared angrily, and he was almost about to step forward and slash these yin people a few times. At this moment, a burst of cannon screams came from the northwest direction, and even more roars were heard.

Everyone was shocked: "There is a war?!"

Wu Yuanheng and the others were about to rush to Xuanmen Pass, and a team of horsemen were rushing to the gate of the Assassin's Mansion. Turned over and rolled off the horse and shouted, "Lord Han is back home!"

"Ahh Rejoicing, astonishing, and so on. Mo Yi turned over and rode on the fast horse regardless of the image. Everyone only saw a princess dressed in ink. Riding a big black horse, like a cloud of colored clouds, he rushed straight towards Xuanmen Pass.

Wu Yuanheng's face finally relaxed, and he turned to Dou Wenchang and the others who were stunned on the spot and said slowly: "Everyone, Lord Han is back. Please prepare a proclamation. ”

"Oh...... Yes, yes......" Dou Wenchang and the others seemed to have lost their confidence, and suddenly lost the slightest prestige.

Before the gate was closed, it was already crowded with people. Xiao Yunhe changed into a pair of bright clothes and armor, rode a cleanly scrubbed green horse, took Li and Ma Xun left and right, and walked into the city proudly. Seeing that the king of Han disappeared for half a month, he went and returned, safe and sound. The soldiers of the Qi army let out bursts of cheers, and the trumpet cannons were set up on the city, as if celebrating the victory.

In the crowd, a cloud rushed like a wave, and everyone made way for her. Xiao Yunhe saw it from afar. I couldn't help but smile knowingly: Moyi......

"King Han!-" Dozens of paces away, Mo Yi couldn't help but shout loudly. My eyes involuntarily moistened. The soldiers of the Qi army had already agreed with this heroine among the women, and then they cheered together: "King Han, princess!"

Mo Yi rode his horse to Xiao Yunhe's horse, and his eyes were already teary. Xiao Yunhe also smiled happily, grabbed her with one hand, supported her waist with the other, and lifted her over with force, and the two rode together. The cheers of the Qi army were even louder. Mo Yi also completely ignored the crowd, curled up in Xiao Yunhe's arms, and hugged his arms tightly with both hands.

Before the entrance closed, it became more and more lively. So much so that the speed at which the team entered the city became extremely slow. Soon, Wu Yuanheng and others rushed to maintain the order, and then let King Han and others quickly enter the city.

Wu Yuanheng, Gao Gu and Song Liangchen and other generals came to pay homage one by one. Xiao Yunhe was naturally happy to see these people. I heard that Dou Wenchang had made a big fuss in Victoria again, and the imperial court had sent an envoy over, so I couldn't help but sneer in my heart: "Let's go, go and see them." ”

Dou Wenchang and the others stood outside the conference hall with their hands bowed respectfully, and each bowed to Xiao Yunhe with a sneer: "I have seen Lord Han Wang." ”

"Excuse me. Xiao Yunhe walked without looking at them without looking at them, and walked straight to the conference hall.

Dou Wenchang and the others beat drums in their hearts, and followed timidly.

"Lord Han, Lord Han, please take the order. "The eunuch is like a thief, and he lacks courage.

Xiao Yunhe sneered indifferently: "The minister accepts the order." ”

The content of the second decree is not too different from the content of the first decree, and it is also urging the king of Han to withdraw his troops as soon as possible and reconcile with Tibet. and return the captives and horses as soon as possible. Moreover, the rhetoric of this decree was much more intense. Although he did not say it explicitly, he was reproached for sending troops again and violating the holy will.

Xiao Yunhe didn't care and took the holy decree.

The eunuch whispered a little timidly: "Villain...... Dare to invite Lord Han Wang, take a step forward and speak. ”

"Please. Xiao Yunhe followed him and walked to the side with him.

The eunuch's eyes flickered, and he said a little nervously: "Actually...... There is also a metaphor here, so that the villain can ask the adult a word. ”

"Let's talk about it. ”

"That's it...... The Lord of Han obviously accepted the emperor's will, why did he insist on sending troops? For this reason, there were many rumors in the court, saying that the Lord was ...... Supporting the army with self-respect, with bad intentions. For this, His Majesty the Emperor was deeply worried. But his family still believed in Lord Han, so they didn't listen to the rumors. Just let the villain bring back a word from the King of Han, so as to stop the gossip in the court. ”

Xiao Yunhe quickly calculated in his heart, and said almost in disbelief: "This is strange! As the envoy of the Jiannan Xichuan Festival, this king has to train the soldiers and horses under his command, and he must also carry the self-respect of supporting the soldiers on his back, and the crime of misdeeds? The soldiers are out, but what does this have to do with the rebellion?"

"Uh, this ......" The eunuch's eyes rolled for a while, as if he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Xiao Yunhe said impatiently: "This king just went out of the city to train the soldiers and horses, and did not go to a head-on conflict with the Tubo people, and did not resist the decree. That's the truth. You report back to the emperor, these gossips must be rumors spread by the Tubo people, trying to drive a wedge between the monarch and the minister of my Great Qi. ”

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" the eunuch suddenly woke up, and immediately resigned, "What the King of Han said is extremely true, and what he said is extremely true. ”

Xiao Yunhe walked up to Dou Wenchang and the others: "Everyone, if there is nothing important, this military town in Victoria is unbearable, so please go back to Chengdu Mansion to live and rest for a few days." This king will give Chengdu Yin Weigao, and he will entertain you. ”

Dou Wenchang and the others didn't have any temper anymore, so they had to give up their hands and thank them and hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Yunhe also let out a long breath, and hurriedly said to the ink clothes beside him: "Hurry up and get me some broth-my stomach, this is going to be as light as running water!"

Xiao Yunhe patted his somewhat swollen belly, and sighed with a long breath: "This time, I can feel it." Being able to eat a safe and hot meal at home is really the best thing in the world. ”

The generals Song Liangchen and Gao Gu all laughed happily. Wu Yuanheng said from the side: "Lord Han Wang's trip, nine deaths and one life, finally returned safely." We, the millions of soldiers and civilians in Xichuan, can also settle down. ”

Mo Yi willingly sat next to Xiao Yunhe, handed him a hot towel like a maid, wiped his mouth and wiped his hands. is as well-behaved as a bird, and his eyes are unconcealed with a strong affection.

Xiao Yunhe touched his stomach and stood up, paced a few steps, and moved slightly. Everyone was about to get up, and Xiao Yunhe waved his hand, signaling them to continue the feast.

Xiao Yunhe picked up a glass of wine and walked to Ma Xun and Yi Mu Xun, and said to them: "The two kings of Yunnan and General Ma are my biggest benefactors in Xichuan. If it weren't for the two of them working hard this time, Victoria would have fallen into the hands of Trisong Detsen early. That is, a few days ago, if you hadn't led your troops to meet on the south bank of Moyundu, the life of this king would have been handed over to the hands of the general Zierke. The great grace is not grateful, and the king only uses a glass of wine to express his heart. ”

Ma Xun and Yi Mu Xun both hurriedly stood up and said, "Lord Han is really serious. ”

Yi Mu Xun Zhengse said: "The guilty minister was originally a guilty person, and he did not give up the Lord of Han to bear it, and gave the criminal minister and the people of Nanzhao a right way to go." The guilty ministers and the people of Nanzhao, it's too late to thank the Lord of Han, so how can you lose face and receive your thanks?"

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "King of Yunnan, don't mention the past in the future." As the king said earlier, Daqi and Nanzhao were originally fraternal and neighborly states, and peace and mutual assistance should be done. Later, the king of Yunnan returned to Nanzhao, and asked for more persuasion of the people of Nanzhao's six edicts. Dispel the worries and doubts in their hearts, and see Daqi as a true friend and brother. ”

"It should be, it should be. "Yimu Xuncheng is sincerely frightened and grateful.

Ma Xun said awe-inspiringly: "Lord Hanwang, the last general is just a horseman, and he only knows people who can be desperate and brave than the last general. King Han is not only a brave general who can afford to fight tough battles in the three armies, but also a wise and clever generalissimo. The adults are as open-minded as the sea, and the last general and others are very admired. This time. It would be in vain to be able to come from Xingyuan Mansion, which was hundreds of miles away, to fight side by side with the adults! When the last general returns, he will tell Yan Gong (Yan Zhen) and all the soldiers and civilians of Shannan Province everything that happened here. Let them all know that Lord Han is a great hero who swallows thousands of miles in the sky and clouds!"

"It's too good!" Xiao Yunhe said with a smile. "You and I were born to die, why bother to say these kind words. At that time, I heard that General Ma Xunma led the army of Shannan Xidao to come to help, and the king was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights. The kindness and righteousness of Duke Yan and General Ma will be remembered by this king forever. For several months, General Ma led his warriors. From birth to death, he has gone through several battles and made great achievements. Not long ago, he saved the life of this king on the bank of the Yellow River...... The king doesn't know how to thank him. Come. Fill this cup!"

"Wait a minute!" to Xiao Yunhe's surprise, Ma Xun hurriedly said, "Lord Han Wang has to thank you, but you can't forget the other person." If it weren't for the military commander Shi Wu, who sent someone to send an urgent letter to the king of Yunnan and the last general, where would I have thought of it, secretly waving my troops westward, looking for and receiving the king of Han along the Yellow River and near the Purple Mountain!"

Wu Yuanheng shook his head helplessly: "General Ma." It's not that ...... I'm a sour scholar, and I don't know what to do about marching and fighting. At the time, it was just a matter of speculation. I've always been worried that because I advocated the mobilization of troops and horses, Lord Han would scold me when I came back. It's good, it's all up to you. Hey!"

"Haha, Bo Cang. You're a bit hypocritical. Xiao Yunhe laughed, "At that time, there were less than 2,000 flying dragon cavalry left under my command, and there were only about 4,000 cavalry left under Li. Our more than 6,000 soldiers and horses were exhausted, and had just crossed the Yellow River to reach the south bank, and their foothold was unstable. Unexpectedly, the Tibetan general Lun Erke led 10,000 iron cavalry to suddenly kill! The situation at that time was really extremely critical. If General Arima Xun hadn't arrived with more than 10,000 cavalry, we would probably have died on the south bank of Moyundu. Tri Song Detsen is indeed a powerful character, and he actually dared to send troops out to encircle and suppress me at the most critical juncture under such circumstances. However, I also have the clever Wu Bocang in Xichuan, and the brave and invincible Ma Xun!--haha, come, please fill the wine and drink this cup freely!"

Wu Yuanheng smiled, picked up a glass of wine and stood up, and said: "If you say thank you, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Xichuan, as well as all the generals and colleagues here, are all heroes. Humble and cheeky to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, just use this cup to pay tribute to all of you here!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yunhe laughed heartily, "Everyone, let's come together! Xichuan finally won the final victory, let's drink this glass of celebratory wine together!"

"Please!" everyone got up in unison, and the room was filled with wine and cheers.

This banquet lasted until midnight. Xiao Yunhe was so drunk by everyone that he was almost carried into the room. Mo Yi took off his clothes for him, and when he saw the scars on his body, he couldn't help but feel distressed. She called hot water to wipe his whole body, and called two maids to help, and then laboriously changed him into a set of dry new clothes. Just as he was about to push him into the quilt to sleep, Xiao Yunhe, who was intoxicated, turned over and overwhelmed him, grabbing his hands in a mess.

The ink clothes were tossed so painfully and itchyly, but there were some ups and downs in my heart. It's a pity that this man is really drunk like mud. She couldn't help but sigh softly, pulled him to sleep with great effort, and then gently hugged him to sleep.

Xiao Yunhe snored like thunder, and Moyi was always sleepless. All night, she hugged him tightly, for fear that he would slip away from her side and return to the hideous and terrifying battlefield.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yunhe woke up in a daze. Although his head hurt and his mouth was dry, he was relieved as if he had woken up from a nightmare, and he let out a long breath and said, "Finally, the fight is over!"

Moyi had just fallen asleep dimly for a while. Then he woke up, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Are you awake?" I'll go get you some water." ”

Xiao Yunhe Chu Yan was relaxed, and kissed her on the face with a smile: "My princess, you are really careful." Know that after waking up from a hangover, the most important thing to drink is water. ”

Mo Yi gave him a strange look: "Stinky to death...... Don't pull me, I'll pour you water. She put on a dress and got up, walked to the table and poured a glass of water. Go back to the couch and give it to Xiao Yunhe to drink. The wonderful figure and the unparalleled face of the demon Ye seemed to Xiao Yunhe, who had just returned from the bloody battlefield, as if it were unreal as a dream.

Xiao Yunhe drank the water and couldn't help laughing when he saw the slightly complaining look on Moyi's face. He whispered, "You didn't sleep last night, right?"

"What else...... Who can sleep with the sound of snoring on the earth?" Moyi put back the teacup and retracted back into the bed. Xiao Yunhe unceremoniously took her into his arms, and smiled maliciously: "Is it really just this reason?"

Mo Yi's face smiled slightly, and he smiled more and more charmingly: "What do you think?"

"I'm so reckless. Where to guess. Why don't you just make it clear. ”

"Hmph, don't pretend to be garlic! Look at you. It's all broken, hehe!"

"Then come, my dearest princess!"

When the sun was three poles, the two of them got up lazily. Xiao Yunhe said to the guards in the courtyard and asked him to send a letter to Wu Yuanheng and the others, saying that King Han would not be on board today, but only to rest. Then, Xiao Yunhe took ink clothes. The two went to Xu Zhan's mansion together.

Xu Zhan's family was also temporarily settled in Victoria. When the army returned to the city yesterday, Xiao Yunhe clearly saw Xu Zhandi's father, wife and children in the crowd, and his heart couldn't help but ache for a while.

Xu Zhan took so many thousands of people with him. Trapped in the tens of thousands of Tibetan troops, can there still be a chance to live?...... Every time I think about it. Xiao Yunhe always felt very regretful and sad in his heart. First, Xu Zhan fell into a desperate situation completely to cover himself, and second, he was also a rare general, and what was even more rare was that he was extremely familiar with Tubo. It's rare to find a talent like this.

Bai Xiao and Bai Fan were hanging up in the Xu Mansion, and the people of the Xu family put Xu Zhan's clothes into the coffin and made a clothes mound. When Xiao Yunhe entered, the people of the Xu family immediately cried bitterly, extremely sad.

Xiao Yunhe endured his sadness and comforted the people of Xujiadi for a while. Although Xu's father has also lived in Tibet all his life, he has a unique backbone of a Han man in his bones, and he said sadly and proudly: "The dog did not embarrass the Xu family." For the return of the horse-leather shroud, it is in its place. It's just a pity...... Xiao Lao'er inquired in the army, and most of the dogs were killed. But we can't see his body, so we can only build a well-dressed mound and hang it from afar. Even if there is a horse leather...... I don't know what I'm going to wrap around!"

Xiao Yunhe also sighed a few times sadly, and his eyes were a little red. He said to Xu's father: "Don't worry, old lady. If Xu Zhan really died in battle...... This king will use the captured Tibetan prime minister Shang Xi Dongzan to exchange the remains of other places. From now on, the people of your Xu family will be funded by my Han Wangfu to ensure that your family has no worries about food and clothing. I don't know...... Before Xu Zhan died, several children Xu's father was suddenly so excited that he burst into tears, beckoned the three children to come over, and said, "Lord Hanwang, the dog has three children. The eldest son, Xu Tao, is twelve years old this year. The younger two are daughters, nine and six years old. ”

Xiao Yunhe looked at Xu Tao, who looked very similar to his father, and looked like a natural martial artist. His heart moved, and he said: "Old lady, why don't you let Xu Tao enter my Han Palace? There is also a child in my mansion, who is the same age as him, named Fang Ci, and he is also the queen of loyalty. This king is willing to take Xu Tao by his side as his own, so that he can raise and teach, and make him an outstanding figure. It was not in vain for his father that he had high hopes for him. ”

Father Xu was suddenly pleasantly surprised and said, "Tao'er, don't kowtow to Lord Han yet!" Although Xu Tao is only twelve years old, he was born in Tubo since he was a child, but fortunately, he has been influenced by Han culture since he was a child. The body is quite like a Tibetan person, but the speech and fingers are authentic Han people. Xu Tao, who was young, kowtowed to Xiao Yunhe unequivocally. Seeing Xu Tao so sensible and polite, everyone saw Xu Zhan's shadow from him. Father Xu and the others couldn't help but sigh and grieve again.

After leaving the Xu family, Xiao Yunhe explained to a few sergeants. Let them take Xu Tao over after the funeral at Xu's house. In addition, he sent someone to meet Wu Yuanheng again, and asked him to arrange the exchange of Shang Xi Dongzan for Xu Zhan's corpse.

After doing these things, Xiao Yunhe still had no intention of going to the army or assassinating Shi Yamen. He put on his ink coat and walked out of Suzaku Pass, the south gate of Victoria.

Both of them changed into flat clothes, rode horses, and walked on the Great Plains south of Victoria for most of the day, Moyi has been quietly following Xiao Yunhe's side, silent. She could see that after King Han came back, although he was very relaxed and casual, his heart was filled with a lot of sadness and depression.

The two rode their horses and walked slowly for a long time, and Xiao Yunhe said to himself: "The fierce battle that lasted for more than half a year, the land of Xichuan was in endless war, and tens of thousands of unjust souls were added. Trisong Dezan, it's time for you to take it away. ”

Seeing that he had spoken, Mo Yi actually breathed a sigh of relief, and took over and said, "Although Xichuan has suffered heavy losses, the Tubo people have suffered even greater losses. This time, Trisong Detsen can be said to be a big loss of vitality. In a short period of time, I am afraid that there will be no more trouble. ”

"I hope so. Xiao Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief, condensed his eyebrows and said, "This time, if it weren't for the strict order issued by the imperial court to let me and Li Sheng and others withdraw their troops, maybe even the Qiangshui area would have been recaptured for him, and it might even be possible to recover Tugu Chuyan's hometown." However, Daqi, especially Xichuan, can no longer afford to fight, and can no longer withstand the attrition of the war. I only hope that in the coming days, whoever it is, including me...... Just don't think about war again. ”

The next half a month or so became a veritable healing time.

The coalition forces of Li Sheng and others withdrew to Hui, Yuan, Weizhou and other places, and held their positions. The Jianchuan army under the command of Xiao Yunhe completely retreated to Victorian City, only for rest. Trisong Detsen was annoyed for a while in the Qiangshui area, and he also had some reluctance to retreat, crossing the Yellow River and returning to the city of Luo and Golmud.

The war in the southwest has officially come to an end. The soldiers and civilians of Xichuan finally relaxed the nerves that had been tense for months. With Chengdu as the center, the whole Shu region began a variety of activities to celebrate the victory. The reputation of the Han King has also reached the point of being in full swing. In this place of Shudi, his name can simply be compared to that of a god. The people of many places, especially the people of the barbarian tribes of the Tibetan State, have set up shrines for him and enjoyed the worship with the gods and Buddhas.

The armies of Ma Xun and Yi Mu Xun and others, seeing that the war was finally over, also took their leave and returned to the old land. Xiao Yunhe did his best to show his gratitude to these troops by giving them a large amount of grain, grass, and gold silk. Ma Xun and others were naturally grateful to Dade and returned satisfied.

After a great war, Daqi and Tubo were like fighters who were tired to the point of half death, resting and hanging up their free cards. Xiao Yunhe left Gao Gu in Victoria to take charge of state affairs and prepare the army, and returned to Chengdu with Wu Yuanheng and others.

Along the way, the people cheered in the middle of the road, and the cry of the Han King Chitose shouted endlessly for hundreds of miles, shaking the valley and rivers. When the spring flowers are blooming, the forests and fields along the way are verdant and the flowers are blooming, and there is a scene of peace and happiness.

But Xiao Yunhe knew it very well in his own heart. After this big war, the manpower and material resources consumed were enough to make Xichuan breathless for a year or two. In war, all you fight for is money and food, not to mention the loss of so many strong laborers. Although Nishikawa can be said to have achieved a surprisingly brilliant victory in this battle, the internal injuries he suffered were not light. At the moment, the most important thing is to repair the text of the Yanwu and restore the vitality of the Xichuan land. Water conservancy. Animal husbandry and mulberry farming will become the top priority for Xichuan in the next period of time. At the same time, of course, the most important thing is not to start any more wars.

Back in Chengdu, the imperial court sent Li Jingluo and Yin Weigao of Chengdu Prefecture to lead the officials and generals under the rule of Chengdu Prefecture to greet him. Xiao Yunhe praised Wei Gao and Li Jingluo, who were in charge of the rear. If it weren't for them, Xichuan's people's livelihood and government affairs would be well organized. The supply of grain, grass and ordnance was also carried out in a step-by-step manner. This big battle is not so easy to win. The heroes behind the scenes have not necessarily made much less contributions than the soldiers who charged on the front line.

Xiao Yunhe was also the emperor who governed the country and the state, and he still had a clear grasp of the essence of war. If there is no strong logistics. Therefore, for Wei Gao and the others, Xiao Yunhe also sincerely praised and grateful. Originally, Wei Gao and the others were still somewhat worried that after this big battle, the officials who followed the Han King to fight together would be greatly used. And let them get some cold shoulder. Now, they have finally dispelled this concern, and their hearts are amazed. King Han is indeed a rare master.

Due to the diligence and competence of Wei Gao and Li Jingluo, all matters in Chengdu Prefecture were orderly, and there was no post-war chaos and backlog of land affairs. Moreover, the officials and the people are more united than before, and although the losses in Xichuan are not light, the atmosphere is very good. Xiao Yunhe took a brief look at it, and then returned to the Han Wangfu to recuperate.

Princess Wu Yuelin, who had not seen her for several months, heard early that King Han had returned to Chengdu. He was already standing by the door and waiting. When she received King Han, she cried with joy almost like a child. There are also Han King Fu Xue Cuncheng, the maid Sophie and the eunuch Ju Wenzhen, all of whom are overjoyed. In the Han Palace, it is already more festive than the New Year. Li led the troops to rescue the King of Han and made a great contribution. was invited to the Han Palace. Fang Ci and Xu Tao naturally took it together.

In the palace of the king of Han. The people are thriving and lively. Xiao Yunhe's heart hanging in the air finally returned to his chest after returning home. I enjoyed a good time.

A few days later, Li said goodbye and wanted to go back to his father. Fang Ci said goodbye to him and sent him out of Chengdu Mansion. Xiao Yunhe is also very fond of this general, and presented a batch of famous horses as a souvenir.

After an earth-shaking battle, the land of Xichuan finally ushered in a piece of tranquility. It is the time of spring ploughing and farming, and it is about to be the season of summer mulberry tea harvest, and the people's livelihood and government affairs are all busy. After the war, the people, the soldiers and the people realized the value of peace and devoted themselves to production with more abundant energy. In Xichuan, there is a hot scene. It's like the rebirth of a phoenix's nirvana, becoming more and more energetic and gratifying.

Xiao Yunhe, on the other hand, began to deal with another important task - the captives of Tibet.

After a series of battles, a total of nearly 40,000 Tibetans were captured. Especially in the great battle of Kangtingchuan in the Eastern Female Kingdom, nearly 30,000 people were captured in the first battle.

These 40,000 mouths are all in a prison cell right now, and just talking about eating is not an easy thing, and it is undoubtedly like putting a big burden on Xichuan. At the same time, Xiao Yunhe also has some covetousness for these natural riders. If he can recruit them under his command, he will undoubtedly make Xichuan's cavalry strength rise to a higher level. After this battle, Xichuan's elite iron cavalry, the Flying Dragon Rider, also suffered heavy losses, almost halving more than half.

Xiao Yunhe sent a number of eloquent envoys to the prefectures and counties under the rule of Chengdu to appease these captives. Although Daqi and Tubo are feuding, most of these ordinary soldiers are hard-working serfs. There are still many people who are willing to surrender to Daqi. After a month or two, more than 20,000 Tibetan soldiers were successfully recruited. Xiao Yunhe arranged these prisoners who surrendered to Cheng in batches in military towns in various prefectures and counties in Xichuan, so that it was easier for them to be assimilated and integrated. Then he selected 10,000 strong men from them and incorporated them into his Wyvern Horse. The war horses captured from Tubo were undoubtedly the biggest gains in this heavy battle. Xichuan has always lacked horses, but now, there are more horses than ever before, and almost everyone in the army can ride them. The Wyvern, which had been battered, quickly re-emerged in just two months, numbering 30,000 people. The horses ridden by the Wyvern are carefully selected to be the best. And they are all the bravest soldiers in the Jianchuan army, and the best Tibetan riders. Battle effectiveness. It's been a notch up again.

Only the battlefield is the best place to temper the army. After the baptism of this great battle, the Jianchuan army has changed its spirit. And there was a martial wind blowing in Shudi, and all the men were proud to be able to join the army. The flying dragon ride has become the symbol of Xichuan, and everyone mentions these three words, and everyone praises them loudly. Take pride.

It was almost early summer and the weather was pleasant. Just at night, Xiao Yunhe took some people in the house to listen to music and admire the moon leisurely in the backyard of his home, and chanted poems.

Xiao Yunhe and Wu Yuanheng were both in high spirits today. Frequently chanted excellent verses, which made everyone applaud. Wu Yuelin, the princess, also danced well under the accompaniment of the Moyi piano, winning a round of applause.

Everyone was having fun, and Ju Wenzhen trotted over. In Xiao Yunhe's ear, he said, "My lord, Wei Gao of Chengdu Mansion sent someone to deliver an urgent letter. It is said that there is a Tibetan envoy who has arrived in Chengdu. ”

Xiao Yunhe pondered for a moment. couldn't help but smile slightly, and said to Wu Yuanheng and Xue Cuncheng: "Bo Cang, Ziming, the Tubo people have come to me to ask for something." ”

Xue Cuncheng sneered old-fashionedly: "If he wants, give it to him." There are also more than 20,000 captives who swore to die and were locked up in prison to eat, drink, and Lazar every day, and it was difficult to serve. ”

Wu Yuanheng thought for a while and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. In addition to taking prisoners, the Tibetans will definitely ask for horses and military resources. The imperial court had issued an edict before. The Great Qi and the Tubo alliance are good, and if they want to return the captives and horses, they will naturally beat the snake and stick it, and will not let go of such an opportunity. ”

"Trisong Detsen wants, as for whether to give or not. It's up to me. Xiao Yunhe said proudly, "The captives can be taken." But there must be an equal number of Hannu to exchange. Horses, don't even want to go with a single horse's hair. This time, I won the battle together, and I didn't ask him to lose some benefits in Trisong Dezan, which can be regarded as giving a lot of face. ”

Wu Yuanheng frowned slightly: "Having said that...... I am afraid that Chi Song Dezan will avoid the truth and be false, and the emperor will put pressure on the adults. As far as I know, Li Sheng and others were forced by the emperor's pressure to release the captives of Hui, Yuan, and Weizhou, send back most of the horses, and even give back some grain, grass, and gold silk. The people, the army and the people in these three places are full of resentment. ”

Xiao Yunhe raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said, "Li Sheng, there is no way to do this. But I'm different from them. The holy decree of the imperial court will be accepted when it comes. But how to do it specifically, we have to make some adaptations according to the actual situation here. There are some things that the court has to interfere in, and I will ignore them. ”

Xue Cuncheng was shocked and hurriedly said, "So, the lord is going to openly tear his face with the emperor?"

Xiao Yunhe snorted coldly: "I won't take the initiative to tear it." He wants to break up, and I won't shy away from it. In this Xichuan Battle, the emperor and the imperial court repeatedly made stupid moves, which was a big loss of popular support. How can I blindly agree with some of their wrong decisions? The emperor disregards the will of the people, so should I make mistakes along with them?"

Wu Yuanheng shook his head and said, "Indeed...... The imperial court made many wrong decisions before and after the Battle of Xichuan. If it weren't for the King of Han who turned the tide and defeated the Tubo people, I believe that this time, Daqi would have suffered a catastrophe, and the people would no longer be able to trust the imperial court. Forgive me for saying something disrespectful...... Now in the world of Great Qi, the trust of the Han King is far higher than that of the emperor and the imperial court. Therefore, the emperor will inevitably stare at King Han's every move and be deeply jealous. My lord, you should also be cautious and do not take the initiative to provoke disputes, so as not to renew wars. ”

"I've got my own measure. Xiao Yunhe picked up a wine glass and slowly played with it in his hand, with stars shining in his eyes.

The next day, Xiao Yunhe did not go to the Chengdu Mansion to see any Tibetan envoys, but asked people to send him to the Han Palace. The Tibetan envoy is quite familiar. It was the Tubo Prime Minister Shang Xidongzan who was sent back to Tubo and exchanged for Xu Zhan's corpse.

Shang Xidong praised Xiao Yunhe, naturally he lacked courage, and he didn't even dare to come out. He finished speaking the original words of Trisong Zampu according to the script, and stood there without saying much.

Xiao Yunhe sat on the top seat, kept sneering, and then said: "Shang Xi Dongzan, it seems that your Zampu deliberately wants to punish you, and actually let you serve as an envoy." He thinks that this king will definitely humiliate you, right? Heh, this king is still good at your courtesy-come, watch, and feast. ”

Shang Jie saluted in trepidation: "Thank you King Han." ”

Xiao Yunhe took Chi Song Dezan's handwritten book and looked at it a few times, and said: "Shang Xi Dongzan, Chi Song Zanpu is really an interesting person. The alliance between the two countries, he did not say anything, only opened his hands to ask me for prisoners, horses, money and food. What, do you think I, Xiao Yunhe, am you a fool?"

Shang Xidongzan said in a low voice: "Before leaving, Zampu once said that the emperor of Great Qi has issued a holy decree to let Lord Han do things like this...... The old minister didn't know much about the others. ”

"Hmph!" Xiao Yunhe raised his voice a little and said, "The post-war peace alliance between the two countries has always been that the defeated side compensates the other side for its losses. I've never heard of it, and when I lose the fight, I have the cheekiness to ask for something. What's more, this peace alliance was simply proposed by you Tubo. At the moment, there is no sincerity at all. Trisong Dezan, I underestimate Daqi, underestimate me Xiao Yunhe! Horses, no, grain, grass, money, and silk, I myself am tight, and I will not give a copper plate. Captives, a part can be returned. But the premise is that a Tibetan captive must be exchanged for a Han slave. Moreover, only men are counted. At the same time, the man's family, wife and children must be returned at the same time. One less condition, I don't agree. Within half a year, Tubo did not come to exchange prisoners, so I slaughtered those prisoners who ate idle meals every day like chopping melons and vegetables to save food. ”

Shang Xidong Zan was already sweating profusely, and he said again and again: "This, this ......"

Xiao Yunhe stood up: "There is no such or that." This is the king's answer to Trisong Dezan! Rest with good food and drink, and this king will not accompany you. Farewell!"

Shang Xidong praised a trip to Xichuan, although he was quite courteous, but when he went back, he was even more sad and depressed than his dead father. He really didn't dare to imagine what would happen when he told Xiao Yunhe's reply to Sù Zampu......

At the same time, the officials, generals and civilians around King Han were all very angry. Over the years, when facing Tibet, the Great Qi has never won such a complete victory, whether it is political diplomacy or military warfare. The king of Han was uncompromising, and the news of resisting Chisong Detsen spread far and wide, and the wind spread throughout Xichuan in an instant. The people of Shu rejoiced. Even when he was working in the fields, he didn't forget to nag a few words about how majestic the Han King was and how he gave Daqi a long face.

The reputation and image of the King of Han have risen to the point of no increase in Shu. So much so that in many places, everyone kept silent about the emperor and the imperial court, and only recognized the King of Han and Xichuan Jiedu.

It can be said unabashedly that Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu can already command one party to act on behalf of the imperial court.

Similarly, this diplomatic decision of the King of Han was soon known to the people of the world. Since the beginning of the last Xichuan War, people all over the world have been paying close attention to Xichuan's every move. The successive victories to the final good news have made the people of Daqi very excited. The scholars wrote tens of thousands of poems to praise the Xichuan defense battle led by the Han Dynasty. There are even some opera theater opera workshops, which compiled these poems into songs and sang them during the banquet, and gradually spread all over the world. The story of the Han Dynasty's battle against Xichuan was once dramatized and deified, and spread all over the country. Naturally, the fame of the Han King resounded all over the world. There are also some storytellers, and they also describe the king of Han as the reincarnation of a certain star monarch or a god and Buddha, saying that he is one zhang long, has heavenly eyes, three heads and six arms, and incarnates Yunyun outside his body, which is very godly. These were originally some good deeds to talk about their own entertainment, but they invisibly put the reputation and image of the Han King. It has been widely spread among the general public. Gradually, King Han, a prince with a mortal body, actually became a god-like symbol. The people of the southwestern barbarian states naturally refused to lag behind, and on the basis of establishing a shrine for him, they also falsely deified his various deeds, which simply compared him with the gods worshiped in his own state.
