Tang Xuan

Chapter 149: Before the Qing Temple

The tea on the table was changed three times, but the siblings still couldn't get enough of it.After Shangguan Yi talked about the reason why Li Yu sent him this time, Shang Zixuan was even more delighted.

Shangguan Yi is a Hanlin, although she has a duke, she is still young.This time Li Yuling asked the courtiers to discuss the establishment of Tonghai Division, Shangguan Yi wrote an eloquent "Book of Ministers Admonishing Tonghai All Things" with enthusiasm, and handed it to Li Yu directly at the court meeting.

After the young emperor finished reading it, he was greatly rewarded by the court and passed it on to all his officials. Xie Bi and other senior officials were also moved by what Shangguan said in his essay.Then Li Yu asked someone to copy it, and even sent it to the Guozijian of the Imperial Academy, which aroused heated discussions in the court.

Therefore, when the Tonghai Division was first established, Li Yu gave Shangguan Yi the position of director without hesitation, and asked him to rush to Suzhou immediately to conspire with Fang Shiquan on important matters.

"Yi'er, sister shouldn't mention you, but you are too young after all." Shang Zixuan looked at Shangguan Yi lovingly, and said softly: "Master Fang is also young, but he is really more secure and considerate than you." Many, you follow him to do things, if you have your own ideas, don’t be shy, just mention them generously. But remember to refrain from rashness, even if you reject it, you have to think about what went wrong.”

"Well, I've made a note. Don't worry, sister." Shangguanyi became curious when she heard Fang Shiquan, and asked, "Is my sister familiar with Fang Shaoqing? I only met once in the Dachao meeting in the past, but I remember Very kind face."

"Fortunately, what is the route, thanks to Mr. Fang's help." Shang Zixuan tapped on the bridge of Shangguan Yi's nose, and said with a smile: "You have also reached the age when you should get married now, do you have a good girl from a good family?"

Shangguan Yi blushed, and said: "Why did you just talk about it here? That guy Lang Heng didn't even say kiss."

"Confused, aren't you? Heng'er is in his filial age, so naturally he can't." Shang Zixuan thought of the tender-faced child in his mind, and asked casually, "How is Heng'er now? Studying at home? Is he still Master Zhou?"

"Well, it's still Mrs. Zhou, who works hard and studies hard, so he's short of hanging his ass." As Shangguan said, he suddenly remembered that time when he went to Mugong's mansion to look for Lang Heng, but accidentally saw the messy and scribbled words on Lang Heng's desk ——

"I was born to be old."

Repeatedly, only this sentence.Handwriting or Shangguan Yi struggled for a long time, until seeing my sister at this moment, he suddenly understood what Lang Heng was thinking.

When Mo Dao was parting, Lang Heng looked dazed and couldn't express his words. He spoke to him several times, but what he said made Shangguan Yi puzzled.This way south, Shangguan Yi recalled it many times, but couldn't figure out why, but now the truth is revealed.

He looked at the new fine lines on his sister's eyebrows and eyes, and suddenly felt quite sour. "Sister, you always talk about me, what about you? Do you have a confidant?" Shangguan asked her softly, Shang Zixuan didn't feel any difference, and said with a smile: "You know my ambition, why ask more? Could it be that you are ashamed, no Dare to answer my sister?"

Shangguan Yi relaxed her mind and said with a smile: "If there is someone who is interested in the future, I must tell my sister first."

Shang Zixuan did not doubt that he was there, got up and walked in front, said: "This is good. Come, I will take you to rest. You will take up the post tomorrow, and you must not embarrass grandpa and father, and ruin the reputation of the Peigong Mansion."

Shangguan Yi responded, and walked behind her, and instantly let go of the astonishment and anger that understood Lang Heng's intentions—isn't it normal for an ordinary man to be tempted by such a romantic sister?What's more, Lang Heng also gets along with his sister day and night.Looking at Lang Heng's appearance, he obviously didn't dare to speak out.I still have to find a way to cover it up for him, lest Shang Zixuan find out and hold grudges against him.

In the future, if Shang Zixuan has someone who loves each other, he should support him with all his strength.In this way, the grace of Shang Zixuan's words and teachings from his mother and sister over the years will not be in vain.

He let go of his worries, his steps became brisk, and suddenly he was full of pride for Tong Haisi's difficult situation at the beginning, and he no longer had the almost imperceptible uneasiness.

In midsummer, all the reinforcements from each battalion arrived in Xunzhou.Lang Huai no longer rushed forward, but divided the camps and ordered each camp to train soldiers, without even mentioning the departure of Shule.

For more than a month, Tubo really harassed Tian on the front line.In Wang Xiong'an, Yuchi Yanguang repeatedly attacked, but he won more than he lost, and the Tubo complained again and again.Seeing the momentum of the soldiers, he didn't delay much, and on April [-]th, the second year of Zhicheng, he sent [-] troops to attack Shache.Wang Xiong is not in love with power, so the infantry and cavalry are divided into two, and he will make troubles.

This battle was out of control, Yuchiyan didn't have time to gather the remnants of the Tibetan soldiers who had fled from Shache, so he continued to march westward, fighting all the way to Aksu.The soldiers of the Yu Qiang camp were the ones who had a hard time. There were only [-] defenders in the small city, but [-] Tang troops surrounded it for seven days, and they were helpless.

At this time, Lang Huai also knew that Yuchi Yanguang had conquered Chepi Mountain in Fusha, and he also sent a military order asking him to lead troops to reinforce Xunzhou.But when the herald chased all the way to Pishan, they learned from a centurion that General Yuchi had left Pishan for Aksu without stopping, eight days had already passed.

The herald let out a cry, but the military order was difficult to disobey, so he had to replenish water and food, exchanged a few army horses with good legs, and continued on his way.When they arrived in Aksu in a hurry, the flag of the Tang army was flying above the city.

Yuchi Yanguang pretended to retreat, and secretly ambushed three thousand elites.After he swaggered away, the Aksu guard was very cautious and waited for two days before completely relaxing.

It was night, ambushes were everywhere, and the sound of horseshoes beating the ground was loud.Tubo thought that the gods had descended from heaven, and in a panic, the city gate fell.There is preparation but no defense. In only two hours, the Tang army won a big victory.

Yuchi Yanguang ordered the city to rest for five days, and he didn't make too much trouble for the captives. He confiscated their weapons and horses, and provided them with one meal a day.

After all, these Tubo people have heard about Lin Xian's massacre of the city before.Yuchi Yanguang also sighed secretly when he remembered the news of Lin Xian's death in battle.

Perhaps in the dark, there is a destiny.The battlefield is ruthless, but it is no worse than killing in vain.He shook his head, and remembered that when he was leaving, his uncle told him that mercy should not lead soldiers, for fear that he, who was grown up in a family, would not be able to survive in Anxi because of the benevolence of women.

In the end is a contradiction.

Yuchi Yanguang patted the dirt on his buttocks, and swayed down from the top of the city.The sun is too strong, let's find a place to cool off.

When the herald followed Yuchi Yanguang's personal soldiers to find it, Yuchi Yanguang was lying on the crenel and sleeping soundly with a dry grass that he didn't know where.He received the military order and verified the seal, nodded and said: "Thank you, three days later, I will lead the army to Xunzhou, you go down and rest."

"But the general has an order to send troops immediately." The herald hesitated for a moment, but still said it.

"Don't worry, my soldiers and I came here from Khotan all the way, and the soldiers are exhausted. If we don't rest and recuperate, how will we break the city in the future?" Yuchi Yanguang lazily replied, "Go down and rest. Bar."

Immediately leave?How could Shule City be dealt with with a little manpower like him.Yuchi Yanguang spat in his heart, and thought that it was midsummer, and Lang Huai's deployment of the army, it seemed that this posture was to take Shule by the end of the year.But Shule City is high and difficult to attack, and Cong Canglanhu personally sits in the town, with abundant food and grass and strong soldiers and horses. In the first battle, the general of the Tang army was beheaded, and more than half of the soldiers in the forward battalion were lost. The morale is winning.Yuchi Yanguang thought that he had no good strategy to break the city, so he did not comment on the transfer of the military order.

Can Lang Huai really calm down Anxi?

Before falling asleep in a daze again, Yuchi Yanguang thought of this, feeling a little unworthy of his uncle.Since ancient times, it has been a tragedy in life for a general to have a bald-headed beauty.It's embarrassing to have such an uncle.He didn't want to do that, instead of spending his entire life in Chang'an City, it would be better to wrap his body in horse leather on the battlefield, that's the way back.

Linda finished practicing on the school grounds, and it was already dusk.He was covered in sweat, but hurriedly wrapped in a leather robe, threw the weapon to the soldiers, and walked side by side with Lu Laosan.

"This weather is really unbearable." In the summer of the Western Regions, the sun is scorching during the day, but it can suddenly snow at night. At the beginning, Linda was so cold that he couldn't sleep every night.These days I finally got used to it, but I couldn't help complaining a few more words.

Lu Laosan wiped the hot sweat from his neck, put on his robe, and said, "This year is indeed hotter."

"You are familiar with the general, do you really want to send troops in summer?" Linda hesitated for several days before asking.He knew that Lu Laosan was a straightforward person, so if it was inconvenient to say it, it would not be considered an offense.

"Sending troops is certain." Lu Laosan laughed and said, "Why, are you afraid of the heat?"

"We soldiers, why are we afraid of the heat?" Seeing that he was trying to hide it, Linda simply said, "I just feel a little... a little impatient."

Lu Laosan chuckled and said, "I'm afraid you think she's too young."

Linda has no interface, which is regarded as the default.After thinking for a while, he said: "Duke Qi only sent his deputy general to lead the army, isn't he worried at all?"

"I'm just a vulgar person. I've never met Duke Qi before." Lu Laosan showed a yearning look, and said, "But he can stabilize Beiting and keep Kucha." Lu Laosan didn't say any more, Linda Silently thinking about this person's words, the doubts about Lang Huai will be much less.

She is indeed young, but military achievements cannot be faked, they are all real.Whether he conquered the west and broke the city, or attacked Khotan by surprise, he could not question the ability of the general.

It's that old saying - when the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired.

Lines were densely drawn on the picture scroll spread out on the case, Lang Huai was still holding the ink pen, thinking about something silently.

Tao Jun opened the curtain and came in, and said in a low voice, "Master, there is a letter from over there, and Khotan will be attacked at the end of the month."

"Did you send a letter to Wang Xiong?" Lang Huai didn't lift his head, Tao Jun responded, "The nail soldiers are divided into two groups, General Wang should have known about it earlier than us."

"That's good." Lang Huai raised his head and said, "Send a letter to Wang Xiong, and lay in ambush on the road. After the Tubo people attack the city and retreat, they will attack again. This battle must kill these Tubo people, so they can survive. That's fine."

"Yes." Tao Jun thought for a while, and then said, "Master, did you really abandon Long Erxun?"

Lang Huai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Why are you asking this now?"

"After all, the Lord should be in front of him." Tao Jun rarely remonstrated like this, he said: "This kind of action of the Lord will inevitably attract dust. It is ominous to betray one's trust, Lord..."

"Afraid of retribution?" Lang Huai threw away the ink brush, rolled up the drawing, and said calmly, "I would like to follow the lofty righteousness of retreating, but this time because of the Tang Dynasty, I have to take risks. Speaking of which, Gucheng does have a personal enmity with me. , I killed Li Qian for the sake of the world, even though I didn't die, it doesn't make much difference. She can lie to Cong Canglanhu that she can't care about Li Qian, but I know that they are brothers and sisters, just like Sizi and Seventh Brother generally."

"Master knows..." Tao Jun muttered, worrying, "Then why did you agree to her?"

"As long as Anxi doesn't use weapons, I don't have to go to war anymore." Lang Huai smiled innocently and said, "I can't always take her by my side. Besides, what Gucheng wants is to be the lord of Tubo, It's not the lord of the Tang Dynasty. It's better for us to support a princess of the Tang Dynasty than a prince who is in trouble."
