Chapter 81 Joining together to fight against the Tang Dynasty

"What's going on in the Puyuan Pass?" Li Yuan's heart was hanging at that time. Puyuan Pass belongs to one of the eight passes of Luoyang and belongs to Henan Prefecture. Once there is a change, it is likely to spread throughout Henan Prefecture. The most important thing is that if Luoyang loses, this is a real slap in the face.

Li Yuan couldn't wait to unfold the letter, scanned his eyes, and his originally anxious heart suddenly relaxed.

Fortunately, this was just a false alarm, just a small civil rebellion. Due to the rapid expansion of the Tang Dynasty and the uneven quality of officials, the new Yanshi Order Guo Jize was originally just a accountant of the Wagang Army. He followed Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junkuo one after another. Later, as Wang Junlang made contributions in the battle of Luoyang, Guo Jize was named Yanshi Order. Because of the guards Luoyang's ancient official road leading to Henan, southern Henan, Jingchu, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as the war ended, it became a business road. As Wang Xuan, the former subordinate of Wang Junlang who guarded the place, all the business roads Wang Xuan made a fortune.

The result was good. Wang Xuan, the guard of the garrison, seized through Kana in a short time, and accumulated tens of thousands of fortunes. Guo Jize was very jealous. Guo Jize, who followed the Wagang Army, was also a bold figure. He asked Wang Xuan for bribes, but Wang Xuan did not miss Guo Jize at all. As a result, Guo Jize fabricated so-called evidence and claimed that Wang Xuan was treasonous.

Because Wang Xuan was arrogant and indifferent to Yuefa, he was so worried that he was killing the postman and actually raised his troops. However, the responder Miaomiao was personally arrested by Wang Junlang's personal guards.

...

In the clear forest outside Chang'an City, Chenjiabao. Since Li Xiuning became pregnant, Li Xiuning has not returned to Chang'an, but has rested in Chenjiabao with peace of mind.

"Your Highness Princess, Prince Chen is coming to your letter!"

Li Xiuning was overjoyed when she heard this.

When I opened the letter, I saw that Chen Ying didn’t write too many words. I just asked about my daily well-being. At the end, I wrote a poem "The long clouds in Qinghai are dark in the snowy mountains, and the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass from afar. The yellow sand is wearing golden armor for hundreds of battles, and I will never return until Loulan is destroyed."

After reading this letter, Li Xiuning looked worried.

He Yue'er smiled and said, "The prince-consort won a big victory, why are you unhappy?"

Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and said, "Chen Lang is another worry-free one. If he sees good things, he will be able to stop. It's so cold now, I don't know how much hardship it will take. The enemy is not scary now, but the most likely one is the bad weather!"

He Yue'er advised: "Don't worry, Your Highness, Princess Chen, a man of God, will have a heavenly appearance!"

"I hope!" Li Xiuning patted his bulging abdomen and murmured: "Your father is not worried, you are also an uneasy person. He kicks his mother all day long, and he is so anxious to think about it!"

He Yue'er smiled when she heard this.

Li Xiuning asked again: "What major trends are the court!"

He Yue'er said: "There is no major change. According to the news from the palace, Your Majesty is preparing to appoint the King of Qin as the chief supervisor of Liangzhou."

"King of Qin, Liangzhou General Manager!"

When Li Xiuning heard this, her face changed at that time. As the first princess in the Tang Dynasty, Li Xiuning did not only know how to embroider.

She really didn't know about the open and secret struggle between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but she just didn't want to intervene. Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Yue'er, go and pass me a message to the King of Qin. If Chen's prince consort had anything to do, I wouldn't spare him!"

He Yue'er was about to turn around and leave, but Li Xiuning said again: "Wait!"

He Yue'er turned around and said, "Princess, what else do you have to give?"

Li Xiuning said: "You don't need to go to the publication. Prepare a car for me. I want to go to the Qin Prince's Mansion to see the Qin Prince's Consort!"

...

With Chen Ying wiped out the 200,000 troops under the command of Khan Tongye Hu in Liangzhou, Siye Hu Ashina Nishu was captured, Khan Tongye Hu was defeated and killed, and the 200,000 troops were destroyed.

Before he knew it, a "fear of Tang Feng" blew away in the Western Regions. Even Chen Ying had not discovered that the "Tang Dynasty threat theory" occupied the main market overnight.

Gaochang City, Gaochang King Qu (sound Qu) Boya sat heavily on the throne, looking at Ling Yin Ma Mengming with shock and said, "What did you say? Tongye Hu Khan was defeated? How could this be possible?"

Gaochang State was actually a Han regime, which was a very rare existence in the environment where Hu was everywhere in the Western Regions. Most of these Gaochang people were descendants of the military farms who migrated to Gaochangbi during the Western Han Dynasty. Since the first Gaochang King Qu Jia was elected as King Gaochang, more than 140 years since then, Gaochang had a relatively independent and stable Han regime, which was historically called "Qu family Gaochang". The Qu family Gaochang basically followed the political system of the feudal dynasty of the Central Plains. Below the king, there are the imperial yin who is equivalent to the prime minister; below, there are many administrative departments such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Temple, the Ministry of Cultivation, the Ministry of War, etc. There are four counties and eighteen counties in Gaochang.

Ma Mengming sighed and said, "I would rather this news be false, but in fact, this is exactly true!"

Qu Boya murmured, "So Iwu (now Hami) has fallen?"

Ma Mengming smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just Yiwu, but even Jiaohe (now Turpan) has fallen."

Qu Boya leaned heavily on the throne and sighed deeply. It seemed that she had miscalculated. She originally thought it was just a ranger who won a surprise, but she didn't expect that the situation would change so much after a few months!

When two months ago, there were sporadic defeated soldiers, and the news of the death of Yehu Ashina Nishu, the commander Yehu Khan Shilifa Batuer and Shijin Zhenzhu. Qu Boya and Ma Mengming, like all the people of Gaochang, believed that this was the trick of the Tang people, this was a rumor deliberately spread by the Tang people, or a misunderstanding caused by some reason.

"The 200,000 Western Turkic army was defeated by 20,000 Tang army infantry and cavalry? How could that be possible?"

During that time, this became the funniest joke on the streets and alleys of Gaochang City. But soon all kinds of unfavorable news came one after another. First, the head of the famous Tongye Hu Khan was seen by the defeated soldiers with his own eyes, and followed the Tang people, which was said to have organized an army of 100,000 to expeditions to the west.

Qu Boya believes that this is definitely a rumor, because after October, everyone knows how cold the weather in the Western Regions is. In no exaggeration, spitting phlegm outside the tent at night, and when it falls to the ground, it turns into an ice hockey, spinning drippingly on the ground. Peeing can hang up.

In such cold weather, even the army could not stand it, even the war horses could not stand it. No one could march in such cold weather, even the Western Turks could not.

However, Chen Ying used the method of sled tents and RVs to march with more than 5,000 sleds. On so many sleds, there was a tent of ten people on them. The soldiers hid in the tent and marching on fire. Even the war horses were equipped with fur to keep the cold warm.

Of course, in such weather, non-combat reduction is inevitable. However, since the soldiers of the Modao Army and the soldiers of the Xiaoqi Army have down jackets and down sleeping bags, they don’t have to worry about the cold. In order to ensure the temperature in the RV, Chen Ying asked someone to prepare coal balls, and the fire in each RV stayed out all night, greatly improving this problem.

Li Xiuning was worried that Chen Ying would suffer, but Chen Ying was sitting in the carriage with four stoves around him and wearing thin clothes, she didn't feel cold.

At this time, Chen Yingzheng and Luo Shixin sat around a copper urn, eating mutton. The weather was cold at this time. Just put the mutton in front of the car window for half an hour, and the mutton would freeze into ice. You only need to cut it with a knife layer by layer to cut out the mutton rolls that were as thin as cicada wings from later generations.

This mutton roll is put into a boiled soup pot and then taken out and eaten, and it tastes very good.

Chen Ying put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Without chili, the hot pot can't taste that taste!"

"What is chili pepper?" Luo Shixin asked curiously: "I heard General Chen talk more than once, I really want to see chili pepper!"

Chen Ying looked at Dongfang unconsciously: "There will be peppers. When the world is peaceful in the future, I will go to find Zhang Zhongjian and Zhang brothers, and ask a boat to go to America to get the peppers back!"

In order to eat chili, why not expeditions thousands of miles?

Of course, just as Chen Ying and Luo Shixin were eating hot pot and mutton, Gaochang Wang Qu Boya suddenly looked at Ma Mengming with caution and said, "How is Gaoche?"

Gaoche is a very close town to Gaochang City. If the distance between Gaoche and Gaochang is about 200 miles away! If Gaoche is also lost, then the vast and rich Gaochang area will completely open her seductive breasts to the Tang army.

"The mountain is covered with heavy snow, and there is no news yet. The Tang army's rangers have approached the high car several times to peek at, but there has been no conflict yet." Ma Mengming said: "We have 700 elite high car players. If we guard the city, we should be able to withstand it for a while. However, if the Tang army really intends to enter the Tianshan area, our Gaochang Kingdom cannot stop it!"

Qu Boya said: "Only our Gaochang Kingdom alone, we can't stop the Tang people. Let's do this, Ma Lingyin, you send a letter to the king of Khotan in the name of your own lord, telling him that the Tang people are not good, and that our Western Regions must unite to fight against the Tang Dynasty together!"

Seeing that Ma Mengming had not retreated yet, Qu Boya asked, "Is there anything else?"

Ma Mengming looked at Qu Boya carefully and asked, "Master, can we actually consider making peace with the Tang army? After all, before joining forces with Tongyehu, we had no old grudges with the Tang army. If you think about it carefully, we had never had direct contact with them before."

Qu Boya said: "But the Tang people can trust them?"

"If you don't contact this... how can you know?" Ma Mengming said: "Twenty thousand Tang troops defeated the 200,000 army of Tongye Hu Khan. Our Gaochang Kingdom has only 7,000 troops. Even if the Lord of Khotan can agree to unite, we will only have 15,000 troops. If the Khan Tongye Hu Khan was willing, he could wipe out our two countries at any time. The Tang people could defeat even Tongye Hu Khan. If we resisted the power of the Tang Dynasty, we would undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs."
