【Part 1: Jin Luan Duet】

There was chaos in the battle ahead, and even the always calm emperor Li Yu couldn't sit still. The loss of Longyou is already a big deal, if the two major protectorates of Anxi and Beiting are lost, Datang's hundred years of painstaking operation are afraid that it will be ruined.

After listening to the report of the squire of the military department, the emperor hurriedly announced the officials of the three provinces and six ministries to discuss the matter together. Xiangwang Li Hao has long been at home, but this time he was also invited.

On the Jinluan Palace, the eunuch read three military reports, and the audience was in an uproar, discussing nothing more than two factions.

One faction thinks that Anxi will be saved, although Tang is slightly stronger than Tubo. However, if Tubo occupies the four towns of Anxi as a supply place, it can be used to re-map the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Longyou and Anxi are the only channels for trade between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food, if they are occupied by Tubo, the annual tax collection is a large amount, and such a large place will affect the national balance of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.

The other faction believes that it is not appropriate to send troops now, and although Longyou is important, the secession of feudal towns is a major problem. If the imperial court sends troops to attack Tibet, the rear will be empty, and when the time comes, the four regions will rebel, and I am afraid that the chaos of Anshi will be repeated.

Seeing the people on both sides fighting back and forth, Li Yu couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he asked Li Yu: "Brother Huang, what do you think?" ”

"In the long run, Longyou must fight back, but at the moment the feudal towns have to guard against it. Tubo is in a hurry to attack three cities, and there must be no follow-up strength, so it is better to send a soldier and horse to explore the truth first. If you want to fight, now is probably the best chance. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven Princes on one side immediately fell to the ground and begged for his life.

Erchen thinks that what Uncle Xiang said is reasonable. Erchen is willing to lead 20,000 troops, be the vanguard army, and recapture the three states of Wuwei!"

Since the fall of King Mu, in addition to the crown prince Li Shi, it is this seventh prince 'Li Zhen' who has been favored. Although he is still young, only two years older than the eleventh prince Li Xuan, his biological mother is Empress Zhenyi, and his son is much higher than the other princes.

He has been good at martial arts since he was a child, knows some art of war, and is also brave and good at fighting, he has been honed in the army for several years, and his relationship with the prince Li Shi is extremely good.

Li Yu pondered for a moment: "As you requested, I ordered you to be the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and the general of Huaihua 'Zeng Yongning' was the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, leading 30,000 troops to attack the three states of Wuwei." ”

Li Zhen and General Huaihua knelt down to receive the order, and Li Yu looked at Li Yu: "Brother Huang, although Zhen'er has clashed with Tubo several times, he has won many victories. But after all, he is young and vigorous, and this time is no longer than usual, and I want you, the imperial uncle, to go with him. You have led the troops for many years and have a lot of experience, which will definitely be of great benefit to you. ”

After speaking, he said to the Seventh Prince: "Zhen'er, when leading the troops, all kinds of strategies should be discussed with your Xiangwang and Uncle Huang, learn more and watch more." This battle is about and not to be taken lightly. ”

"The younger brother (son) obeys the order!"

[Part 2: Small Stargazing]

Just retired from the dynasty, King Xiang returned home.

Li Xuan's brows were twisted, and he was distracted on the horse, and even the horse was led by his relatives.

Suddenly, a young man rushed to Li Yan, but before he could meet him, he was pressed to the ground by four relatives and couldn't move.

"Lord Xiangwang, it's me...... The Chase of the Roots. Lemon's grandson. The kid was weak, and he didn't struggle after being subdued, but just looked up at Li Yan.

"Let him go. Li Xuan waved his hand to his relatives. Then he said to the people of the earth, "I remember you." ”

Li Bingxiang used the technique of "Three Golden Lock Veins" again, and the first thing he found was "Si Tian Jian Zheng" Bei Meng. As a result, he killed Beimeng, and his grandson became an orphan. Li Xuan had arranged for the position of "Si Tianjian and Zhongguan Supervisor", and counting the days, he should have already taken office.

"Didn't you go to Si Tianjian on an errand today?"

"Your Royal Highness King Xiang, help. Someone is going to kill me. The pink little face of the pear was actually filled with tears. He has been well protected by his grandfather since he was a child, and his personality is introverted and weak, and when he encounters some accidents, he is panicked in his heart.

"Something's going on, you say slowly. ”

"A few days ago, my residence on Si Tiantai was turned into a mess. I thought that someone saw that I had become a prisoner through the relationship of His Royal Highness, so I was dissatisfied and wanted to tease me, but I didn't pay attention to it. Later, when I returned to my grandfather's old residence, everything in the house was also turned into a mess.

I was terrified, looking at the stars last night, I thought I was going to be in trouble. I was really scared that there were no friends to rely on in the whole of Chang'an, so I didn't dare to live in my own home. ”

The character of Bei Zhizhu is too weak, and he is about the same age as Li Bing, talking and talking, he actually cried pear blossoms with rain: "I am really desperate, and I ask His Royal Highness King Xiang to save me......"

Li Xuan looked about the same age as his own son, and remembered that his only relative also died because of Li Bing, and felt pity at the moment.

"Come home with me. First live in my house for the time being, and I don't dare to harm you. But tomorrow I will go out to the Sui army. You just stay at home and wait for me to come back and make other arrangements. ”

[Third, the spring breeze is not excessive]

The front and back are the vast yellow sand, between the two mountains, there is only such a steep gap, on the high city wall, the only remaining black background red Tang military flag, it seems a little lonely. The plaque on the city tower reads three bright red characters - "Yumen Pass".

On the castle tower, the two were extremely tired, leaning on each other and leaning against the battlements of the city wall.

The general glanced at the corpses piled up in the mountains downstairs: "How many arrows are left?"

"One or two thousand, it's already been distributed. ”

"Oh, that's fine. Where's the kerosene, is there anything else?"

"There were also the last three barrels, which were only given to the first team. The second team, the third team did not have it. ”

The general nodded helplessly: "Move all the wine in the kiln and distribute it, even if it is not as good as the oil, it can have some effect." ”

The subordinate responded: "The stones that can be moved nearby have all been moved to the city tower, and the rest is all yellow sand, and it is useless." ”

When he spoke, he was extremely tired, and said with a wry smile: "Hey, the Yumen Pass was set up to prevent the Anxi rebel army from attacking Long......you;

The Suzhou generals were beaten by Tubo and retreated to Yumen Pass, and the two armies merged into one, and finally repelled the first vanguard army and held the pass by virtue of natural danger.

As he spoke, as far as his eyes could see, the sky was suddenly covered with yellow sand and dust.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" the general shouted, and his subordinates immediately blew their horns, and the soldiers who were still napping on the city wall got up one after another and looked out.

"My God, so many people?" everyone saw the opposite formation, and their hearts were cold.

In the Yumen Pass, counting the old and weak soldiers, there are less than 10,000 when the full battle is full, and there are 50,000 people in the enemy army.

"Fuck, why haven't the reinforcements from Guazhou and Shazhou come yet. These cowards, aren't they afraid to send troops!" The foot soldiers below were already panicking.

"I grass his ancestors. No more reinforcements will be allowed, and when the time comes, the Yumen Pass will be lost, and the entire Anxi and Beiting will be finished!"

(Guazhou, in present-day Jiuquan, Gansu.) Shazhou, present-day Dunhuang, Gansu)

The general secretly said in his heart, even if the people of Guazhou, Shazhou saw the beacon fire and wolf smoke and immediately sent troops, it would take three days to arrive.

"Don't be afraid, boys. As long as we keep the jade gate overnight. Reinforcements will arrive tomorrow. He said sonorously and powerfully, but he also had no confidence in his heart, and it was not easy for a 10,000 tired division to hold an offensive of 50,000 elites.

Everyone looked at the Tibetan army in the distance, and when they were waiting for the enemy, someone suddenly choked up and shouted:

"Reinforcements! Reinforcements are coming. Look at the back! It's reinforcements!"

Hearing this, everyone turned and looked behind them—about two thousand people, dusty, and a few ballistae at the end of the line. Although this number is not large, it finally gives hope to the warriors of Yumen Pass.

"No, not reinforcements. These people did not have battle flags, and the way they marched was by no means a Tang rule. The general casually played a game, and the high mood of the defenders fell to the bottom.

Could it be that Guazhou and Shazhou have also been lost? If there are enemy troops behind them, everyone in this Yumen Pass will become turtles in the urn, and there is only one way to die.

The general watched the small group of people get closer and closer, and his heart jumped to his throat, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he was about to give the order to release the arrows.

The clothes of the two thousand people gradually became clear, and the word 'ink' on the crossbow machine was obvious.

"The Mo family and the Mo Dye Lake led the 'Anxi Mojia Battalion' to come to reinforcements!"

"The Mojia Mozhi Lake led the 'Anxi Mojia Battalion' to come to reinforcements!" "The Mojia Mozhi Lake led the 'Anxi Mojia Battalion' to come to reinforce!"

This shout went straight into the sky, and it reverberated in the gut.

[Fourth: The Prince's Companion Reading]

On the small town of Gusu "Qingxipu", in the "Qianzhuang Village".

Xie Zhaoren and Xie Jiahe sat at the table: "Try it!"

Anzi picked up the black cloth on the table, blindfolded her, then reached into the first medicine jar, took out the medicinal herbs, fed them to her mouth, chewed them and spit them out.

"Coriander wu, an annual herb. Clear the fire to remove heat, slightly toxic, can cause diarrhea more than once. It can produce deadly poison with Zang grass and can paralyze people with mandala, and the prescriptions of this herb are commonly used: Four Flowers Yishen Pill, Red Poison Mingmu San, Three Divine Creams for Clearing the Lungs, and Lingshen Zhenxin Pills. ”

Xie Jiahe said: "Well said. What is the quality of this coriander in your hand?"

"The astringency is moderate, but the aftertaste is slightly pungent, and the quality is not pure. There is no harm in refining low-grade pills, but high-grade pills cannot be used. ”

"Very good, the next one. ”

These days, Anzi has received the guidance of the two brothers of the Xie family, and his medical and forging skills have improved by leaps and bounds, and the foundation of the Qingmiao lineage has been learned, and it is effortless to forge weapons from within the fourth grade, and when he was lucky, he also made a weapon from the third grade.

This ability, put in the vein of fire and fire, should also be possessed by elite disciples.

Both praised him for completely inheriting An Lushan's cleverness, and he was able to understand it at all.

"Sir, there are people outside the door asking to see you. The little maid went to the hall and said, "The man refuses to give his name, but let me give this to you." ”

Xie Zhaoren took the thing, it was a small silver ring, inlaid with a red jade in the middle, and the color was not bad.

"This ring looks familiar. Xie Jiahe also felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"This is what my father gave to Brother An, and Brother An later gave him the 'first apprentice'. Brother Xie Zhaoren recognized the object first. His father is the former "Cold Sand Craftsman Immortal" of the "Guiyuan Cave", and the big brother An in his mouth is naturally An Lushan.

"Invite that man in!"

A middle-aged man walked into the courtyard. He was full of energy and energy, with a scarf tied in a bun, and a light green robe, which set off a complexion whiter than snow.

"Changsheng?" Xie Jiahe looked at the visitor and asked tentatively.

"Second Brother Xie can't even recognize me?"

"It's really you!" The Xie brothers were overjoyed and hugged the comer.

"I thought you were dead, and last year Qingming burned paper for you. Xie Jiahe was dizzy with joy, and he didn't shy away from talking at all.

"You heard my name, Bian Changsheng. How can it be so easy to die. ”

The Xie brothers are An Lushan and the fart, this Bian Changsheng is the first disciple of An Lushan, and the three of them are of the same age and have a close relationship.

"This is the nephew of 'An Qingfang'. After the three of them finished greeting, Bian Changsheng's gaze fell on Anzi.

Xie Zhaoren didn't say anything: "Wow! I'll just say, since you're alive, why did you come to the door today." It wasn't for us, it was for your nephew!"

"I have a special identity, so I'm not afraid of causing trouble to the two of you. Bian Changsheng clenched his fists and begged for mercy: "Today's entrustment, come to accompany the student!"

"Oh, did Sister Ziru ask you to teach Qingfang's nephew kung fu? Why didn't you tell us beforehand?" The Xie brothers and Anzi both thought that An Lushan had already died in battle, so naturally they could only guess Ziru.

Bian Changsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter who entrusts it. I didn't come to teach him martial arts. First, my 'Easy Immortal Gong' is demanding and not suitable for him, and second, I will not teach people martial arts, and there will be better people than me to teach him in the future. ”

"And what are you?"

"The person who entrusted me with the errand said that Qingfang's nephew suffered in his early years, and his meridians and bones were not good. If you want to learn kung fu, you have to rebuild the foundation, and my 'Joyful Longevity' skill is the most suitable. I only came for one thing, every morning and evening, to wash the marrow and cut the bones of Qingfang's nephew. ”

The head of the eight disciples of the dignified Rong Sect, now he is willing to be a companion, and this "Prince Dayan" really has pomp.
