Prince Xuanzan nodded: "Not bad." Your Majesty, Xuanzan thought that he could solve His Majesty's danger, but he didn't expect to be in front of the treacherous plot and defeated in the back, so he really had no shame to follow His Majesty, and he hoped to cherish it a lot. ”

As he spoke, Prince Xuanzan held Li Longji's hand tightly.

Indeed, in these days, he always felt the respect of the Tang Emperor and a strange affinity in him. If it weren't for the fact that he really didn't want to stay in the Central Plains, he would be willing to continue to serve the Li family.

Li Longji's sadness, he can clearly feel it, it is a feeling of the country is ruined, and almost all thoughts are lost.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, before leaving, I have a few words to tell His Highness alone, and I hope His Highness will agree?"

I don't know why, Li Longji suddenly stopped crying, and sincerely grabbed Prince Xuanzan's hand, and his eyes shot an eager light.

"Since Your Majesty has this intention, how dare the kid refuse?"

Prince Xuanzan agreed.

In fact, in his heart, he felt very sorry for Li Longji.

When Li Longji's envoy signed a treaty with Tibet, it actually said that Tibet had to help him quell the rebellion in the world before the covenant could be completed. Now that he listened to the words of the Tang Dynasty, he was afraid of the military might of the Tang Dynasty, and broke his promise halfway and left, after all, it was very inauthentic.

However, Li Longji did not blame him for this, which made the always upright Prince Xuanzan feel that he was a little rude. Of course, he also knew that Tubo had sacrificed 100,000 cavalry for Li Longji, and even if he left now, he could be regarded as able to account for it.

Li Longji led the way first, and after leading Prince Xuanzan into his own Chinese military tent, he immediately retreated left and right, and even the left ministers such as Niu Monk and Yu were also excluded.

In the huge Chinese military tent, there are only two people, Li Longji and Xuanzan.

Xuanzan was a little surprised, because he saw Li Longji suddenly take out a piece of white silk from under the desk.

At this time, Li Longji's expression became even more gloomy, and he slowly untied the white silk and opened it layer by layer.

Bloodstain.

There were stains of blood on the white silk, which was shocking.

"This ...... What is this, Your Majesty? Prince Xuanzan only felt a pang of boredom in his chest.

Li Longji didn't answer, but just sped up the speed of opening the white silk.

Finally, the white silk opened, revealing a withered arm.

On the arm is a section of the sleeve of a yellow robe.

"Ah...... I'm sorry, Your Majesty. ”

Xuanzan understood in an instant that this was one of Li Longji's arms that was cut off by the Tang Dynasty during the Battle of Chang'an.

"Not bad. That's my hand. My Li Longji's hand, but it was cut off by the Tang Dynasty. ”

The heart of the prince was full of respect. A person can say such an unforgettable thing so plainly, and there is indeed something outstanding in the experience of the heart. No matter how you say it, Li Longji is also the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and it is really the greatest shame to be humiliated by the Tang Dynasty like this.

"But I don't blame the Tang Dynasty. Because his heart is not ruthless enough. When he killed my arm at that time, if he used all his strength to insist on killing me, even if there were Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, I might not be able to break out of Chang'an alive. Of course, I understand what the Tang Dynasty meant, he wanted to defeat me with dignity and finally occupy the whole world. He's a very conceited person, but he does have some talent. His Royal Highness Prince Xuanzan, I deign you to look at this thing today, not to win your sympathy, let alone to explain your last words, on the contrary, I want to tell His Royal Highness Prince Xuanzan that I, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty for decades, the supreme existence, will not be so easily defeated by the Tang Dynasty and An Lushan such chaotic ministers and thieves, I always carry this dry arm by my side, just to remind myself all the time, I want to reorganize the rivers and mountains, the foundation of Gaozu Taizong, can not be destroyed in the hands of my unfilial descendants! ”

Hula!

Li Longji's Heavenly Sword was unsheathed at some point, and a corner of the desk was cut off.

A strong sense of guilt rose in the heart of Prince Xuanzan. He knew that although Li Longji did not say it explicitly, he was condemning him for being cowardly and afraid of death, fleeing from the battle, forgetting the pain of being brutally killed by the Tang Dynasty, and instead being a turtle with a shrunken head.

"Your Majesty, I ...... I ......" For a moment, he was speechless. The Tibetan people were upright and admired force and heroes. It is very shameful to see that Li Longji still has such ambitions in his twilight years, but looking at himself, he only lost two battles, and he actually lost his determination to take revenge.

Li Longji seized the opportunity very appropriately and pressed his hand on Prince Xuanzan's shoulder: "Your Highness." I, Li Longji, will never be defeated by rebellion in my heroic life, please believe me, I can still be like the Kaiyuan years, exterminate rebellion, and return the world to a great prosperity. And I will never treat you badly, do you believe me? ”

His tears flowed down appropriately, and he was really sad.

Prince Xuanzan was greatly moved, and gritted his teeth: "Good! In view of Your Majesty's ambitions, I declare that this fate is handed over to you. I know that the elite of our army is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, but since Your Majesty has treated me like this, I am willing to die for Your Majesty! ~”

With an ordinary sound, the prince of Tibet knelt down, and his heart was full of guilt and emotion.

Li Longji was overjoyed in his heart, but his face was silent, he pulled Prince Xuanzan up, held his hand tightly, and there was a feeling of sympathy for each other in an instant.

In this way, the 30,000 soldiers of the Xuanzan prince were retained.

Li Longji continued to collect the defeated and remnant army horses on the road, and regained nearly 10,000 people, plus the previous 10,000 Royal Forest Army, there were about 20,000 horses, and the army recovered slightly.

……

The Tang Dynasty led the army slowly and approached Xuzhou.

He had already heard the news that An Lushan's generals Cai Xide and An Shouzhong had fought several battles with Guo Ziyi, who was guarding Xuzhou, and the two sides had suffered casualties and won and lost each other, maintaining a stalemate.

If he wielded his troops too quickly, he was afraid that he would arouse An Lushan's suspicion and think that he would support Li Heng instead.

In fact, from the beginning of the alliance between the north and the Hui, the national policy of the new Tang Dynasty was to unite with An Lushan, first exterminate the forces of the remnants of the Tang Dynasty, and then talk about other things, which is the same truth in ancient and modern times.

At that time, Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, and his martial arts were extremely prosperous, and the descendants of the six countries could not touch him. But when Prince Qin became the king, whether it was Liu Bang or Xiang Yu, the policy formulated was to eliminate the Qin court first, and then talk about anything else.

In the end, under the joint blows of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu and others, the Qin Dynasty was completely destroyed, Ziying was killed, the family of the descendants of Qin Shi Huang was almost slaughtered, and Afang Palace was burned down by Xiang Yu until today.

Think about it, what is the geometry of people who still have Ying (Zheng) as their surname?

The power of the Li family is slightly inferior to that of Qin Shi Huang back then, but since Tang Taizong, the Li family has governed the world with benevolence and righteousness, and is not like Qin Shi Huang who killed all living beings in the world, plus the current Li Longji and Li Heng are not mediocre, which makes the Tang Dynasty face a more difficult situation than the Chen Sheng Daze Township Uprising when cleaning up Li Longji.

In the past few months, Li Longji hid in Bashu, because of the rugged plank road and the difficulty of supply, which led to his only 100,000 troops even at the peak of his time.

But the crown prince Li Heng is different, after Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Wang Sili, Yu Chaoen and other generals in the past few months, although there is a shortage of materials, after all, nearly one million troops are still nominally cobbled together.

Among them, the 400,000 troops trained by Guo, Li, Wang, Yu and others are of course very far behind the armies of the Tang Dynasty, but they can barely be regarded as well-trained.

This can be confirmed from these tough battles in Xuzhou.

Guo Ziyi is not stupid.

Some of the training methods of the Tang Dynasty had long been heard clearly by his spies, and they were used to train newly captured soldiers, and they really worked wonders. Of course, he doesn't have the financial resources of the Tang Dynasty, but Guo Ziyi also has a way, which is to delete the reward as appropriate.

This is naturally not very stimulating for soldiers, but after all, it can play a great role in encouragement. Of course, he didn't completely copy it, he had led the army for many years, and naturally he had his own unique set of methods for training soldiers, although in such an embarrassing situation, he still trained 100,000 elite soldiers.

To be honest, Li Heng's subordinates can be called elite soldiers, that is, the 100,000 horses trained by Guo Ziyi.

……

Prince Xuanzan followed Li Longji all the way north, crossing the Yellow River, and often worried about grain and grass.

Fortunately, Prince Xuanzan's army was well-trained, brought a lot of grain, grass and materials, and had enough gold and silver on his body, so he could either buy or rob it, but he could also maintain the supply of these 60,000 troops.

During the march, the army rested for a while, and the right minister suddenly came to the horse of the prince with a happy face: "Congratulations, Your Royal Highness, there is a great happy event to be announced." ”

"I am a general of the defeated army, how can I be happy?" Xuanzan has always been unaccustomed to this old guy's smirk, but after all, this person is still Li Longji's minister, and he clenched his fists, but his tone was light.

"Great joy! His Majesty's holy decree is to give the most beautiful youngest daughter of all his princesses, Princess Qiushui, to His Royal Highness, and he will not kneel down to accept the will! ”

"Ah......" Xuanzan Prince was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down to accept Li Longji's holy decree.

You must know that Princess Qiushui's glamorous name has already spread all over the world, even more famous than Princess Zhenluo of Hui. Although the Tang Dynasty court suffered such a great turmoil, the people who proposed to Li Longji have always been on the way.

But this is one of the few big names in Li Longji's hand, how can he easily agree, so he has always refused.

Although Prince Xuanzan can be regarded as a majestic man, he is not handsome and dashing, and he is nearly forty years old, so even if he admires this princess very much, he knows that he has absolutely no share of his own.

Of course, he believed Li Longji's words and would not treat him badly, but he didn't expect Li Longji to give him such a heavyweight gift.
