Chapter 167: Returning to Summer
When Jiang Yuqing came in with a basin of water, he saw Princess Mingyang smiling. She asked, "Princess, what are you laughing at?" ”
Princess Mingyang looked outside the bright tent and said, "Look, how good the sun is outside!" ”
Jiang Yuqing glanced up and said with a smile: "It's really good." Did you sleep well last night? ”
Princess Mingyang said: "Great, I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time." ”
"Well, then, you can get up and wash up first, the generals are still waiting to see you?"
"I'm sorry for you."
Princess Mingyang dressed herself and took things and washed them skillfully. Jiang Yuqing brought the meal, and the two had breakfast together.
It's just simple white rice porridge and small pickles, but Princess Mingyang eats it very fragrantly. "I haven't eaten in my home country for years, and I miss it," she says. ”
Jiang Yuqing smiled slightly: "If you like it, eat more, if it's not enough, the chef still has it." ”
Princess Mingyang ate two bowls in one go, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "Why didn't you see Ah Yan?" ”
Jiang Yuqing said while putting away the dishes and chopsticks: "He is discussing with the generals, and he will come over after eating in a while." ”
As he was talking, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a majestic figure walked in against the light, it was Jing Yan: "Eldest sister, can you eat?" ”
Princess Mingyang smiled: "Eat well!" Has my brother been available? ”
"Yes. The generals are waiting outside to see you, but the eldest sister wants to see you? ”
"Yes, let them in!"
Jing Yan shouted outside. Immediately at the door, several tall and strong men wearing armor walked in, and they were the generals who led the troops this time.
They knelt down to Princess Mingyang and shouted in unison: "The last general will see the princess, the princess has suffered." ”
Princess Mingyang helped them up: "Generals, don't be polite, get up quickly." It's Mingyang who thanks the generals! ”
Everyone said a few words, and seeing that it was not early, they said goodbye to Princess Mingyang.
It's time to settle accounts with Mouru.
The drums of war sounded, and the army quickly lined up.
The walls of the Tibetan royal court were much taller and stronger than those of other places.
It's okay to throw a thunderbolt over and blow up the city gate, but I'm afraid you can't throw it so high on the city wall.
However, this did not bother them, and Yuan Yun ordered to get the trebuchets captured along the way.
With this thing here, piles of heavenly thunder bombs ignited and threw upwards, just like heavenly fires scattering flowers. No matter how high this wall is, there is no fear of it.
This formation was set up, and a young general stepped forward and called out: "Mu Ru, you come out for Lao Tzu, you are a shrunken turtle thousand-year-old king."
Acquaintances quickly open the city gate and let Lao Tzu in, and they can leave you a whole corpse. Otherwise, you will be cut by a thousand cuts. ”
I don't know if they understand this long list of scolding, and eighty percent of them don't understand.
However, this did not prevent the city from shooting arrows, and the arrows went straight to General Ye's front door.
He was not stunned at all, and the Glaive Knife weighing dozens of catties in his hand was lightly raised, and the arrow flew out.
The young general sprayed on the city wall for a while, and his saliva was dry, and the people on the wall didn't reply half a word. It's really heart-wrenching.
He asked Yuan Yun: "Marshal, let's attack the city directly." It seems that Mu is like this old boy, this is to pay attention to being a shrinking turtle. ”
At this moment, on the city wall, someone shouted in a blunt Daxia dialect: "Slow, look at who this is?" Don't you want your princess? ”
When the generals looked up, they saw Mu Ru walking up to the city with a few Tibetan soldiers and a woman with a disheveled head.
The woman was dumbfounded, very good-looking, and quite like Princess Mingyang.
If it weren't for the fact that the real princess was in her own camp, maybe they would have been fooled.
Jiang Yuqing sat in the rear of the formation and waited to receive the wounded, but his divine consciousness was always paying attention to the battle situation. Seeing this, with a slight wave of his hand, he withdrew the wisp of spiritual power on the paper man's body.
Without the support of spiritual power, the illusion is self-defeating.
As a result, the Tibetan soldiers watched a living princess turn into a fluttering paper figure in front of them. The three views were shattered.
They once thought that they had encountered an evil spirit, and they collapsed to the ground in fright, and ran down the tower with a roll, completely unaware that they were still on the battlefield.
Even Mu Ru was stunned by this sudden scene.
After reacting, he immediately scolded like crazy: "What the hell is going on? How can it be a dummy, where is Princess Mingyang? But no one could answer him.
When the soldiers of Great Xia saw this dramatic scene, they almost laughed and hurt their stomachs.
The young general shouted in a rough voice: "Is this what you call a princess?
Don't think that if you take a piece of paper, draw an eye and nose casually, and the suit and clothes are the princess, you will laugh off your big teeth. My princess has long been taken back to the camp by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
Yuan Yun didn't bother to talk nonsense with them anymore, and directly ordered: "Brothers, get ready, give them the most gorgeous fireworks." Siege—"
Three more drums sounded, and the herald shouted: "Bombardier prepares—trebuchet prepares—loads—fuse-pulls—release-"
With an order, countless heavenly thunderbolts flew towards the opposite city like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.
In just one wave, the two seemingly incomparably heavy gates collapsed with an earth-shattering, deafening explosion.
Several more waves of thunderbolts were thrown, and the heavy city wall was blown down into a huge opening.
Everywhere there was a rush of fire and billowing smoke, and the sound of explosions was mixed with the screams of the Tibetans.
Immediately after, the drums of war sounded again. Several generals raised their weapons in their hands, raised their arms and shouted: "Sons of Great Xia, kill!" Justice for our princess! ”
The 200,000-strong army went crazy in an instant, roaring, and poured into the city like a tidal wave from the collapsed gates and the blasted walls, shouting and killing in an instant.
The Tubo soldiers had already been broken by the thunderbolts.
At this time, looking at the tigers, the Daxia soldiers who pressed up were even more violently torn apart, and the only thought in their hearts was to "run". lost his armor along the way, and only hated his father and mother for giving birth to two legs.
Those who run slowly will either be solved by the Great Xia soldiers with a knife, and those who have organic spirits will drop their weapons and kneel on the ground to beg for mercy.
Yuan Yun shouted loudly and passed the order: "Disarm and don't kill!" ”
When the Tibetan soldiers heard this, except for a few who resisted, the rest threw their weapons to the ground, knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands and surrendered.
It's better to die than to live, what if you can't beat it? It's better to surrender and at least stay alive than to lose your life in vain.
Mu Ru was originally a brutal rebel king, why did they give their lives to the traitorous king?
The Great Xia army swept across the territory, known as the 50,000 Tubo royal court army, and it was taken by the Great Xia army in less than an hour.
Mu Ru, who was half-dead after being bombed, was also captured alive on the spot. In the first wave of explosions, he had already lost a leg and an eye, and his whole body was covered in blood, and he was still hanging with a breath.
It was useless to keep such a person, and Yuan Yun decisively ended his life.
The traitors are all dead, and they are still spanking.
The Great Xia army cleared the remnants of the enemy, and Jing Yan planted the dragon flag of Great Xia on the highest point of the Tubo Palace, raising his arms and shouting: "Tubo, from today on, belong to Great Xia!" ”
There was a cheer like mountains and seas from below, "Ah, we won, Great Xia, Great Xia, Great Xia......"
Jiang Yuqing, who was bandaging the wounds of the wounded, heard the mountain-like cheers, the corners of his mouth under the mask curved upward, and then lowered his head and continued what he was doing.
The dust has settled.
When Princess Mingyang, escorted by the soldiers of Great Xia, walked into this Tubo palace again, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar everything in front of her, she had mixed feelings in her heart.
From fifteen to thirty years old, the best years of her life were all buried here.
In the past fifteen years, her maids, grandmothers, female officials around her, and finally her nominal husband and son have all left her one by one.
She is the only one left, living lonely and indifferent on this plateau.
There are only grievances in my heart that have nowhere to tell, and endless longing for my homeland.
Jiang Yuqing came over and asked her: "Princess, Ah Yan said that you have found the burial place of your predecessor Zanbu and the little prince, do you want to go and pay respects?" ”
Princess Mingyang shook her head indifferently: "No need. Zambu has several concubines, although I am the Duke of Great Xia and the lord is respected, but he only respects me and has no love. Even the child, it's not mine. ”
Jiang Yuqing was surprised: "How come?" ”
Princess Mingyang sneered and said, "My child was killed by them when he was born, and he was replaced with another concubine's child.
The Tibetans did not need a child with the blood of Bactria to inherit this land.
They thought I didn't know, but I knew everything.
The reason why it is not debunked is to maintain this apparent peace.
Moreover, I also need this child to strengthen my position. ”
Jiang Yuqing hugged her distressedly.
She didn't know what words to use to comfort the poor woman, but in this way, she hoped to give her a little warmth.
She's really too strong and it's not easy.
If it were her, who had lived in such a cruel and oppressive environment for many years, she couldn't guarantee that she would go crazy.
Outside, I don't know when heavy snow fell, and the sky and the earth were vast.
The snow fell and covered the earth with sin. When the ice and snow melt and the spring flowers bloom in the spring of the next year, maybe everything will be different.
The defeat of Tibet is just the beginning, and there are still many things to do in the future if you want to completely recover this land.
Jing Yan goes out early and returns late every day, arranging all aspects of things. Even the New Year of Great Summer is spent here.
Jiang Yuqing doesn't know much about this aspect either, so it's not good to meddle rashly.
I just told him a little bit about the integration or assimilation of the people, which I knew in my previous life. The specific operation depends on himself.
Half a month passed like this, and on the day of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Xia Jing, Jing Yan finally received a reply from the court.
Tubo was officially renamed "Tubo Xuanzheng Yuan".
At this point, Tubo was included in the territory of Bactria .
It's all settled. Jing Yan left a general with 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison here, and the army set off on the twentieth day of the first month to return to the court.
On the day of the return trip, Princess Mingyang looked back at the city behind her, which had trapped her for fifteen years, and the rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance, and was silent for a long time.
Jing Yan walked up to her and took her hand: "Eldest sister, we're going home!" ”
