In the wind and snow, Princess Danyang was left alone.

There was not a trace of blood that could be seen in the snow during the day, and even the blood stain that had just been sprinkled on the curtains had been torn apart.

It was as if nothing had happened to the whole street, only a jumble of footprints.

The people of the Beiding Royal Mansion were clean and clean, and they would not even leave a trace of corpses and blood.

Even if it is directly reported to the imperial court, it is unsubstantiated and cannot be traced.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, obliterating the people around the princess in broad daylight, and leaving no traces, this method is terrifying.

But well......

Princess Danyang smiled, her daughter was still her own daughter, and her personality and desires were exactly the same as she expected.

Some plans require the tacit understanding of all parties to complete.

For example, sending Bai Song out of Chang'an will give them those who are pressed by Bai Song a better space to play.

All the forces in Chang'an City hoped that Bai Song would leave to give them some respite, and there were also people in the Beiding Mansion who hoped that Bai Song would leave so that they could show their strength.

As long as Bai Song is not in Chang'an, everyone will have a stage, and then it will be up to them to see who can really have the last laugh.

Chang'an City fell into peace, and everyone had a common tacit understanding, waiting for an opportunity to form.

Bai Song gradually salted fish and started his retirement life in advance.

It's okay to tease the child, and occasionally trick the two ladies into going to bed together.

Adapt to the life of sleeping with three people first, so that you can advance more.

Bai Song thought that his traversal life had seen the end, and he would repeat similar things every day in the future, without desire or desire for a lifetime, as a spectator silently paying attention to the rolling of the long river of history.

Winter goes to spring, late spring and summer begins.

Another half a year.

On the first day of the fifth month, a piece of military information was transmitted to Chang'an, breaking the peace that lasted for half a year.

In the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Kingdom entered, marched 300 miles in three days, and took down the seven cities.

Above the court, Li Shimin's hair is getting grayer day by day, but after half a year of cultivation, his complexion has recovered a lot.

Hearing the border emergency, Long Yan was furious.

"The country of Tibet also dares to violate my border! Why can you take seven cities in three days? Are the defenders all wine bags and rice bags? ”

Hou Junji replied: "The invasion of the Tibetan Kingdom has been prepared for a long time, and their soldiers are not only well-trained, but also come suddenly. ”

"Our army has Shenwu artillery, how can it be broken through by the Tibetan barbarians?"

"Back to the emperor, according to the front-line battle report, there are Shenwu cannons in the enemy army in Tubo, and there are quite a lot of them."

"What?"

At this moment, the ministers in the court couldn't sit still, and there was a lot of discussion for a while, and everyone was talking to each other.

The Shenwu cannon is Datang's greatest reliance, and it is the fundamental force of Datang to deter neighboring countries.

Now that the Tubo Kingdom also has a Shenwu cannon, it means that the Tang Dynasty has lost its greatest advantage!

In the past, the ministers of civil and military affairs felt that the structure of the Shenwu cannon was complicated, the craftsmanship was cumbersome, and the production of cannonballs was also particularly difficult, so there was no need to worry about being stolen by other countries.

It seems that everyone has lost the foresight to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and after all, they have been learned by other countries.

Once the advantage of the Shenwu cannon is gone, everything is still a beginning, and there will be more crises in the future.

"Does the country of Tibet have a Shenwu cannon?" Li Shimin muttered, a little depressed and a little afraid, fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and he sat back in his seat blankly.

"How did the enemy country get the method of making the Shenmu cannon? Your Majesty, this matter should be investigated in detail! The eldest grandson Wuji said.

Hou Junji said: "The enemy army is menacing, it is too late to track down how the enemy country got the Shenwu cannon at this moment, for today's plan, we should make plans as early as possible, send troops to reinforce, once the city of Liangzhou is broken, the enemy army can reach Chang'an." ”

"What General Hou said is extremely true, the emperor should immediately send troops to reinforce him."

"But the enemy army also has Shenwu artillery, you should understand that once the enemy army captures a city, the Shenwu cannon erects a tower, and if you want to capture it, even ten times the strength will be difficult to resist. It is true to send reinforcements, but it must be led by a general who knows Shenwu artillery very well. Hou Junji continued.

"Yes, the lethality of the Shenwu cannon is too strong, as long as there is a mistake in a battle, it will be difficult to organize an effective counterattack in the future. Who will this general candidate who understands Shenwu Cannon be? General Hou, you have been in the barracks all the year round, since General Li Jing went into hiding, most of the military headquarters have been dispatched by you, and the power of Shenwu artillery is also well understood. ”

Hou Junji smiled and shook his head: "My lord has lifted me up." Your Majesty, although the minister understands the Shenwu cannon, since the enemy army is here, he has already prepared, and this battle is very important, and the minister has a more suitable candidate in his heart. ”

"Who?"

"Casual at home, Lord Bai Songbai."

"Lord Bai?"

When the military generals heard this, they suddenly realized.

"Lord Bai is the one who invented the Shenwu cannon!"

"Yes, there is no one in the world who knows more about the Shenwu Cannon than Lord Bai, right?"

"A few years ago, Lord Bai also fought in the south and the north, made many meritorious deeds, and also had a high prestige in the military department. This battle is led by Lord Bai, which must be the safest. ”

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but they had no opinion on General Hou's proposal.

Li Shimin also thinks that this method is very good, at least much better than other proposals.

It's just that it seems a little inappropriate to go on another expedition with the status of the White Song Dynasty, but when it comes to the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin can only make an order.

At this time, Hou Junji said again: "Emperor Qiqi, if Lord Bai is a general, the minister is willing to be the vanguard and reinforce Liangzhou with Lord Bai." ”

Hou Junji's words made all the ministers admire, and they all said that General Hou is the important weapon of the country.

At this time, Bai Song was still celebrating the first birthday of his second son in the palace.

Bai An is gone, and the second son has become the eldest treasure of the palace, and he can't be casual when he turns one year old.

The entire palace was working hard for this matter, and seeing that the palace would be a celebration, the emperor's decree came outside.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, saying: Southwest Liangzhou emergency report, Tubo invaded the border, Liangzhou crisis, specially named Bai Song for the expedition to the west of the general led an army of 150,000 to support Liangzhou ......"

Before the holy decree was finished, Bai Song's brows furrowed.

I can't celebrate my son's first birthday.

Where did they get the courage to invade the territory of the Tibetan country? And why send me?

Bai Song had doubts in his heart, and after taking the holy decree, he hurriedly pulled the father-in-law who passed the decree and asked, "Father-in-law, what happened, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

The father-in-law smiled; "Military aircraft events, where is the turn to get the minions' instructions? If you have any questions, please ask the emperor. ”

After saying that, my father-in-law left.

Bai Song took the holy decree and was thinking in his heart that he wanted to go to the palace.

At this time, Hou Junji took a carriage to the gate of the Beiding Palace.

"Lord Bai, Xia Guan is the vanguard general of this expedition, if you don't understand anything you don't know, let Xia Guan explain it to the general."
