Agarwood Pavilion is a place of leisure in Xingqing Palace. It is located in the northeast of the Dragon Pond in the palace, with red brick pavilions, white marble foundations and fences, lush trees and rippling blue waters, this beautiful scenery often makes Li Longji, who is tired of government affairs, feel comfortable and relaxed.

At this moment, the sunset at dusk is reflected in the lake, and it is red. This situation and this scene inevitably reminds people of the magnificent beauty of "the sunset is infinitely good".

The sound of silk and bamboo in the Agarwood Pavilion is endless, and Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, is blindfolded with a black brocade ribbon and "touches the blind" in the Agarwood Pavilion.

Lei Haiqing on the side, frowning, his hand playing the pipa has not stopped, the music is sometimes soothing and sometimes compact, moving with the "rhythm of the game".

"Saint, the slave family is here! Come here! Hahaha! ”

There was a crisp and charming laughter behind Li Longji, and the young woman who spoke, dressed in men's clothes, although she was without makeup, she did not hide her beauty, and she had a heroic and upright appearance that ordinary women did not have.

Her appearance is eight points similar to Yang Yuhuan, but she is slimmer and more toned and energetic.

"Sage, this way, the slave family is here."

On Li Longji's left hand side is a young woman with a similar face to the woman just now, but her figure is more petite and her expression is more feminine.

Not only that, not far in front of Li Longji, there was also a woman with a face similar to the second daughter, who looked a little more mature, but graceful and luxurious with a bookish atmosphere. She was also more reserved, just slapping Li Longji and shouting onomatopoeia such as "oops, oops" in her mouth.

These three women are all Yang Yuhuan's sisters. Now they have been sent by Li Longji to Chang'an, and they have been named Mrs. Han, Mrs. Qiu, and Mrs. Qin. Since they are called "Mrs.", they are naturally married women.

Brother Ji loved Wu and Wu, and awarded the husbands of the three to the post of assassin, and transferred them from Chang'an to other places to take up their posts, which can be described as the emperor's grace.

When Li Longji was bored, he often invited the three daughters to come to Xingqing Palace to have fun, often staying up all night. Of course, since Brother Ji has already named the third daughter as "Madame", it is naturally impossible to make her a concubine or something.

Therefore, the relationship between the third daughter and the Tang Dynasty is very delicate, in that kind of situation of "what is said is what is what".

To say that the third daughter has nothing to do with Ji Ge, theoretically, it really has nothing to do with each other.

But it really doesn't matter at all, these three women often go in and out of Xingqing Palace, and often don't return all night.

Yang Yuhuan's accidental death made this amorous Tang Dynasty emperor understand one thing:

Only enjoy what you once had, don't care about how long it lasts, this is the norm in the world!

Since each has its own life, why not just have fun? Why do you need to pay so much attention to it?

Without fame, there is no so-called moral pressure. If you don't give a name, there is no so-called "immorality", isn't this kind of life comfortable?

Yang Yuhuan's departure untied the knot in Brother Ji's heart since Queen Wang was deposed.

These days, as long as you have a good time, those things like etiquette, righteousness and shame are sometimes just a burden on the king, and they have no meaning except to make him uncomfortable.

Once you pretend to be deaf and dumb and start enjoying it, then as long as there is no real evidence, all bullshit will not exist. Playing with these three beautiful ladies, but not giving them a name, then Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, is still a model for the people of the world.

That's what Brother Kei thinks.

"Yaoyao! It's you, right? I've got you! ”

Li Longji turned around and pounced, holding Mrs. Qin Guo in his arms.

"Sage, you are so bad, the slave family is not Yaoyao!"

Mrs. Qin Guo said coquettishly, and hurriedly broke free from Li Longji's embrace.

Li Longji took off the brocade ribbon in his eyes and saw that it was really not Yang Yuyao, the wife of the State of Qin, so he laughed and hugged the wife of the State of Qin and kissed him fiercely.

"Then you'll be with me in my bedroom tonight. Well, as for the two of you, wait outside the room, don't run, you know? If I run away, I'll be angry! ”

Li Longji pretended to be a tiger and said. The three girls were all shy, covering their mouths and snickering.

At this moment, Gao Lishi hurriedly walked in, although his face was quite calm, but it could be seen from the speed of his moving steps that something was definitely wrong!

was swept away by Gao Lishi, and Li Longji was a little unhappy.

However, he still held his breath and asked in an unhappy tone: "Why is Lux so alarmed?" ”

Gao Lishi looked around left and right, Li Longji understood, waved his hand gently, Lei Haiqing and the three ladies all retreated, leaving only Gao Lishi alone.

"Sage, the news from five days ago was just delivered to Chang'an today.

The Tubo people captured Jiuquan City in Suzhou, and now the Tang Dynasty in the five states of Hexi has lost two of them, and it depends on whether Shazhou can hold it.

If Shazhou can still be defended, then there will probably be no chaos in the Western Regions.

If Shazhou is also lost, then the Anxi Protector and the Beiting Protector must send troops to recapture Shazhou.

The Tibetan army was strong, and took two more states in Hexi and obtained supplies. I'm afraid that this battle will be difficult to distinguish the winner this year. ”

Colliers said worriedly.

In fact, the current situation is more serious than he said.

The two states of the Hexi Corridor were controlled by Tibet, and for the Tang Dynasty, the loss was unprecedented, because the trade routes in the Western Regions were cut off, which involved a lot of wealth. Longyou lost five states, and Brother Ji was not so distressed now!

Because the trade routes in the Western Regions are blocked, without those rare treasures from the Western Regions, the quality of life of the magnates of Brother Ji and Chang'an will drop a lot!

If Shazhou loses again, Tubo will build up momentum. There are not many Han people in the Western Regions, and many of the other people are remnants of the destruction of the small countries in the Western Regions since the Han Dynasty. Their attitude towards Datang may not be so loyal. It's normal to have some kind of moth when the time comes.

"What's the matter with Wang Zhonghe, I gave him fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses, and he fought like this?"

Li Longji asked with anger on his face, dissatisfied.

The situation in Hexi is indeed not very good, the wealth, silk, grain and straw supported by the imperial court are all hoarded in Liangzhou, and the treasury is full, but it can't be sent to Shazhou!

Several waves of messengers went in a row, but they were all intercepted by the Tuboans, and now what is the situation over there, the imperial court's eyes are black.

"Sage, changing commanders in battle, a taboo for soldiers. Besides, now that the main force of our Tang Army has not been damaged, this battle still has to be fought. It's just that the border army is blocked in Suzhou, and it can't continue to the west, which is also a problem. It is imperative to know what the situation is in Shazhou. ”

Gao Lishi still has some insight in government affairs, and as soon as Li Longji heard his explanation, he immediately gave up the idea of replacing the envoy of Hexi Jiedu.

The only problem now is that the road to Shazhou has been cut off by the Tibetans. And the Tubo people have Guazhou as a foothold, and they are constantly sending troops here to strengthen the defensive force.

"Lux, you personally go to the Yamen, tell Zuo Xiang (Zhang Shouqi), and ask him if he would like to go to Hexi in person to take command. Then mobilize 30,000 soldiers and horses from Longyou to reinforce Suzhou, and be sure to ensure that the trade routes in the Western Regions are unimpeded! ”

Li Longji said hatefully.

He thought that the world was already peaceful and had created a country of "Tianhua and Earth Treasure". As a result, he was slapped in the face by the Tubo people, and even the trade routes in the Western Regions could not be guaranteed to be smooth, and he boasted about what "Tianhua Dibao"?

Why do the Tibetans still come to make trouble? Why aren't they dead yet?

Li Longji's heart was full of resentment.

"Slave, go now."

Colliers said with a cross-handed salute.

"Well, go and get back."

Li Longji's face was gloomy, and he waved his hand and said.

After Gao Lishi left, Li Longji immediately changed his smiling face and walked towards the dormitory with a relaxed pace.

No matter how hard the border town fights, there are still 108,000 miles away from Chang'an. Life is too short to enjoy, and you can't stop for a moment when it's time to enjoy it.

He is the saint of Datang and the master of Datang, and he has the final say in everything here.

It doesn't matter if the other person is good or not, what matters is whether he is happy or not.

With Yang Yuhuan's three sisters tonight, Brother Ji feels very happy!

……

Whether it is the big families in the small city of Dunhuang, or the people. In the past few days, they have been mobilized to clear the rubble in the city, rebuild the perimeter of the qanats, and repair the smashed houses. Although the city is busy, the order is orderly, and there is no panic on people's faces.

The bed crossbows on the city wall, which had been damaged by the Tibetans, were also restored. As for the corpses and bloodstains inside and outside the city, they have long been cleaned up.

The Tibetans were defeated, and the people here regained confidence in the Tang army.

Today's Fang Chongyong, because of his previous "clever calculation", has been regarded as a god by the locals of Shazhou. So those Hu merchants in the Western Regions who liked to be troublesome on weekdays gave Fang Chongyong a nickname, called: "Hexi Qilinzi", in order to spread his god.

What is a Kirin?

"The Legend of the Ram" records: "The one who is the lin, the benevolent beast also." ”

According to legend, the unicorn has a habit of being a virtuous beast, that is, unless there is a benevolent monarch, that is, the so-called "those who have a king will come, and those who have no king will not come".

Fang Chongyong is a unicorn, so who is Renjun? Who is the king?

It can only be understood and unspeakable, and those who understand it understand.

The name is meaningful, and at first glance, there are people behind it.

"Come, Kirinzi, it's time to eat."

At the door of the study in the backyard of the government, Anaye patted the food box in his hand and shouted at Fang Chongyong, who was writing a book at the desk.

"Are you annoyed like that?"

Fang Chongyong said angrily, but saw Anaye walk in with a box containing food.

"It's very strange, this is obviously what you asked me to ask those Hu businessmen to publicize to the outside world. I'm calling you a unicorn now, but you're not happy. ”

Anaye couldn't help but tease.

"You know, this is called hype, it's a kind of high-end sycophant! Sycophants that don't show their traces.

I am auspicious and invincible, and this name can be described as useless.

You, a native girl of Hexi, will go to Chang'an with me to meet the world in the future. There, it's useless to fight and kill, you have to rely on this. ”

Fang Chongyong put down the brush and pointed to his head and said.

He opened the food box, and sure enough, it was a Hu cake with added ingredients.

When the Tibetan people had not left, in order to hold on longer, Fang Chongyong made all the stored grain into dry Hu cakes that were easy to carry and distribute.

It's just how proud I was then, and how bitter I am now. Because the Tibetan people left a little "a little early", they didn't finish the cakes and piled them up in the treasury of the government. Thanks to the dry climate here, the corpses would not have been damaged for thousands of years, otherwise these Hu cakes would have been spoiled long ago.

Rao is like this, Fang Yanei also takes the lead in eating this kind of hard-to-swallow dry Hu cake every day, his brows are wrinkled into the word "Sichuan", and the bitterness in his mouth is only known to himself. He felt that he was the kind of person who pretended to be a fool and had no choice at that time.

Suddenly, Anaye also put away her smile, mysteriously approached Fang Chongyong's side, and said in a low voice: "When I was shopping for vegetables today, I heard a news that I don't know if it's true or not. A person who fled from Suzhou said that Jiuquan City had fallen, and now Suzhou was under the control of the Tibetans. ”

"Sure enough."

Fang Chongyong nodded slightly, there was no surprise on his face, these were already expected by him.

In fact, when he heard that the Tubo people had successfully attacked Jiayuguan (which had not yet been built), he knew that something was wrong and that Suzhou would be difficult to keep.

The current situation is that the Tubo people occupy the geographical advantage of Jiayuguan and block the Tang army to the east of Guazhou. Now he has captured Jiuquan City and driven the Tang army's forces to the east of Kongtong Mountain! It is already very close to the garrison of the Jiankang Army.

The current Chinese army camp of the Tang Army was set up in the Jiankang Army garrison, controlling the western gateway of Ganzhou.

The dilemma that Wang Zhongsi is facing now is that it is difficult to break through steadily, and if he forcibly sends cavalry to raid, he will be ambushed by Jiayuguan to help. The supply of the Tubo people was not good, and the Tang army was only slightly stronger, and if this battle continued to be consumed, it should be said that to some extent, "both sides were defeated".

Perhaps both sides are waiting for the other to have a flaw, and the stalemate of the war situation is maintained for the time being.

Fang Chongyong secretly calculated the battle situation in his heart, and the Hu cake in his mouth was like chewing wax.

"Aren't you surprised?"

Anaye asked curiously, she thought that this was a landslide of news for Fang Chongyong.

Even she, a native girl in Hexi who doesn't know about military affairs, knows that as soon as the Hexi Corridor is broken, Shazhou will become an isolated island, and it will lose the supply of materials from the Central Plains.

That's a terrible question!

How do you know that Fang Chongyong was eating Hu cakes while listening to her, and he seemed to be absent-minded.

"When it comes to life and death, I never use the hands of others. Since you want to break the game, you must take risks.

There is no such thing as a thing in the world! ”

At this time, Zhang Guangsheng, who had just returned to Luocheng for a day and a night, pushed the door and entered, and said with a happy face: "Envoy, General Guo, they have all come to the palace to thank you, I heard him talk about the battle situation, it is really dangerous and dangerous." This time to be able to break Tubo, it is all the work of the king! ”

"Just lead the way, so much sycophant! Put more thought into the battle array! ”

Fang Chongyong stood up and scolded with a smile.

When the two came to the lobby of the mansion, they saw Guo Ziyi, who was dusty, and the local Doulu army members gathered here.

"Envoy Guo has worked hard! It's not easy! ”

As soon as they met, Fang Chongyong held Guo Ziyi's arm and laughed.

Hearing him say this, Guo Ziyi said embarrassedly:

"What you said is true! During the siege of Luocheng this time, there were several times when the Tubo people rushed into the city, and Xin Yunjing led the veterans of the Baiting Army to kill them back.

At that time, we were really at the end of the crossbow, and the men and horses of the Hu merchants in Luocheng were also ready to move, wanting to make peace with the Tubo people, and we suppressed them! These turtle grandchildren!

The envoy led his troops to defeat the besieging Tubo army in one fell swoop, and the Tubo people outside Luo City withdrew when they saw that the situation was not good.

If it weren't for the power of the king, Guo would have given his life to Luocheng.

The leader of the Tubo Army, Guo doesn't feel like a simple person. ”

As soon as Guo Ziyi said this, the generals in the hall looked at each other, but they didn't expect Luo Cheng to defend so hard.

Thinking of the day when he screamed to pursue, he was all ashamed. If you really want to go, it is very likely that you will be beaten by the Tubo people! In that case, if you are rewarded for meritorious deeds after the war, whether you will receive a reward or lead the army, you can only say two things.

"Although the siege of Shazhou has been lifted now, it is expected that Guazhou and Suzhou are under the control of the Tubo people. The Tang army in Liangzhou was blocked from Jiayu Pass, and they couldn't use their strength.

Therefore, a certain person decided to concentrate his troops and go to Guazhou to take the Tubo people by surprise. What do you think? ”

Fang Chongyong threw a bombshell, and Guo Ziyi, Wang Sili and others in the lobby couldn't be rectified!

It's only been two days of full food, and you can't shake it like this, right?

"Envoy, now that Shazhou has finally broken the siege, it seems a bit ...... to rashly attack Guazhou now."

Wang Sili organized the language for a long time, but he didn't know what to say.
