Chapter 102 The Tang Dynasty is also an eventful time
Chapter 102 The Tang Dynasty is also a turbulent autumn
It started raining in the sky, and the Tubo army soldiers were soaked into roosters. At this time, it was particularly cold by the mountain wind.
Many Tubo soldiers were so cold that their lips were bruised and trembled. Even if they put their bodies on the horse's back, it would be useless. Gradually, the road became slippery and muddy, and they would fall down if they accidentally fell. Many soldiers fell down their war horses and fell to their noses and faces. Tubo people were poor, and things were more precious than human life. However, many people simply threw away their weapons and armor. Even so, they still couldn't walk fast, cursing and complaining, one after another, and they were embarrassed and frightened, which was extremely different from when they were traveling across Liangzhou a month ago.
Ru Zi Zang Gu turned a deaf ear to his subordinates' complaints, and only rode his horse and took his confidants to the road. He really couldn't figure it out that the snowfield was a forbidden area for the people of the Central Plains. No matter how strong the Central Plains people were, once they came to the snowfield, they would be like being drawn with their souls, weak limbs and dizzy. However, according to the observation of the scout, the Tang army soldiers showed no signs of powerlessness, but became more and more fierce.
I can't beat it, but I can't drag it.
Ru Zi Zang Gu began to regret it. The Tuyuhun people pretended to be Tang people to attack the Tubo tribe. He knew this. He knew it at the beginning. The Tang people would never have the skillful riding skills of Tuyuhun people, not to mention that they can deceive people. The smell of sheep on Tuyuhun people will not deceive people.
Even if the Tang people didn't take a bath for half a year, the smell on their bodies was far less than that on Tuyuhun people. In fact, Ru Zi Zang Gu was just to grab some money for the winter.
However, it was so good that it was finally broken. Some of the Tang people's villages and towns were snatched nearly 100,000 stones of food. The food was not wasted and all of it was eaten into the stomachs of the Tubo people. Now that the advantage was not taken, they were beaten to pieces. Ruqi Zanggu already had the intention to withdraw Supi.
At this moment, a scout rushed over on a war horse, and shouted in panic: "Dear Ru, Tang army officers and soldiers...the officers and soldiers are heading towards Dongmi very quickly!"
Dongmi, the ancient Dongmi Kingdom, also known as the Dongmi tribe, has a large range of areas in the Tongtian River upper reaches of the Jinsha River in Qinghai.
Ru Zi Zang Gu smiled bitterly: "Our main force is here, and there are only a thousand and hundreds of old and weak soldiers who stayed behind these tribes. Their progress is naturally faster! Don't worry about them, speed up, and we will be safer as soon as possible when we return to Subi the day earlier!"
Subi's altitude was higher, and it had already exceeded 4,000 meters. In that area, even the Tubo people would feel short of breath, and the Tang people would definitely be unable to move there.
Of course, even if you lose, you can ask for help from other Rus.
When the Tubo soldiers heard Ru Zi Zang Gu's order to withdraw Supi, they were immediately unhappy. Although they were a little hard and tiring now, they were wandering around the pastoral areas of Tuyuhun people. No matter how bitter and cold the West Sea was, they were much better than the snow field.
In the winter of the snowy field, countless small tribes will disappear, and new tribes will appear. As long as these small tribes do not accumulate enough fuel, the cold winter will freeze them into popsicles.
Compared with the deaths, Tubo soldiers would rather die at the hands of the enemy than be frozen to death. Ru Zi Zang Gu did not do any ideological work. Those who could not understand or were unwilling to retreat would be beaten up after a while.
The Tubo soldiers who were beaten to the point of being beaten to pieces had to swallow their anger and continue to advance with the army.
Ru Zi Zang Gu's move made Tubo soldiers panic, and they felt that the disaster was coming, and people kept wandering and joining the ranks of escape.
The morale of the Tubo people began to collapse, but in fact the Tang army was not feeling well.
After more than a month of pursuit, the enthusiasm of defeating the Tubo people in Gulang Town has long faded, and the soldiers are exhausted. God is fair. While wetting the Tubo people, wet the soldiers of the Tang army.
Chen Ying rode on the horse, his whole body shivered from the cold. Chen Ying looked at the sky. Although the rain was not heavy, the rain was not over. God knew when it would end.
Chen Ying looked at the exhausted soldiers and ordered: "Choose a high ground to camp!"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately cheered.
The soldiers dig trenches and dig trenches, and logged tents to build tents.
Chen Ying changed into dry clothes, and then Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui arrived at the Central Army tent. This was not Chen Ying's four-wheeled RV tent. The tent was temporarily built. The tent was very simple, with a wooden pillar that was smoked black in the middle. The ground was also bumpy. Next to the pillars were simple. The gaps were almost stuffed into the table with fingers, four elm stools, and several braziers were placed in the corner. The fire in the brazier was burning, making the tent much warmer than outside.
Luo Shixin untied the cloak and placed it on a bench. He sat down and asked Chen Ying directly: "Major Protector, these Tubo people are all damn rabbits, and they are walking too fast. No matter how we chase them, it is half a day shorter than them!"
"That's been more than half a day. Yesterday, we passed by the Tubo people's camp. The fire in their fire pit was still hot, and it would not last more than an hour after leaving!" Zhang Shigui said: "Major Protector, we have been around for almost three months. Now the Tubo people have retreated. Should we withdraw from the Western Regions?"
Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No!"
Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui looked at Chen Ying in confusion: "Why?"
"Have you forgotten the purpose of our visit to the West Sea this time?"
"Purpose?"
"It seems that you have forgotten all!" Chen Ying pointed to the northwest: "Did you forget that Gaochang Country has Murong Fuyun?"
The two of them suddenly realized.
Chen Yingyou sighed and said, "I really underestimated Murong Fuyun, he can calm down!"
"Major Protector, this is probably not Murong Fuyun is so calm, but that he has other intentions!"
At this moment, Guo Xiaoke's voice came from outside the tent.
Chen Ying turned to Guo Xiaoke and said, "How do you say this?"
"Murong Fuyun led 100,000 tribes to migrate more than 2,000 miles from the West Sea, crossing the desert to Mulei!" Guo Xiaoke said: "They must have consumed all the food accumulated in the tribe along the way. It's not that he doesn't move, but that he can't move at all. He has no baggage to support him in launching an offensive and attacking the city. It's not like field battles, which can determine the outcome in one day!"
Chen Ying suddenly realized: "Murong Fuyun is interested in the new fields we have cultivated in Jinman County?"
Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt that Guo Xiaoke's guess was very likely.
After all, 750,000 mu of land can harvest at least one million stones of grain. The Tuyuhun people would not harvest these grains at all. Even if they forced them to harvest, they would lose a lot of grain. However, after the Tang people harvested them, they came out to grab them. This was their purpose.
Thinking of this, Chen Ying smiled and said, "It seems that we can't continue playing with the Tubo people anymore! Come and inform the army to prepare. If possible tomorrow, we will return to the Western Regions!"
...
Chang'an, Chenjiabao in Qinglin. Li Xiuning held his son and had a sweet dream. In the dream, Li Xiuning brought hot water to serve Chen Ying to scrub his body. His fingers touched the deep and shallow scars of his body, and the trembling in his heart was like the thunder of spring. He suppressed his shyness and took the initiative to go over and kiss these scars lightly.
After helping Chen Ying wash her body, she first got into the quilt and took off her clothes. Her snow-like arms were exposed to the cold air, crossing the red brocade quilt, giving the light on the candlestick the same as mutton fat jade. The collarbone exposed on both shoulders was slender and white and sexy.
Li Xiuning spread her hair, like a crow's hair, like a waterfall with a sparkling water, her cheeks were plump, with the ultimate beauty of a mature woman, her nose was straight, her bright red lips pursed out extremely attractive curves, and her eyes under her long eyelashes showed a clear and charming light, full of lust, both expectation and unexplained worries.
Chen Ying reached in and untie his cold hands. Li Xiuning couldn't help but tremble. Even she knew that her skin was as delicate and delicate as mutton fat jade, and she couldn't help asking: "Do you think I'm old?"
Chen Ying didn't say anything, kissed her red lips with her hot lips, stroked her delicate body, slid through her waist, pressed on her thighs, continued to move inward, held her hands, and stroked her chest, full and solid, full of elasticity.
Chen Ying murmured: "You don't know how charming you are!"
The lotus tent is warm, the warm jade produces fragrance...
Suddenly a heat current surged onto her body, and Li Xiuning felt something was wrong. At this moment, Li Xiuning opened her eyes and her son peed all over her.
A hint of shame appeared on Li Xiuning's face: "It's all your fault that it hurts me, it has disturbed my dream..."
The wet nurse hurried in and changed her son's clothes. Li Xiuning's son was already full of a month, but Li Xiuning did not name his son. She thought that this name should be Chen Ying.
Li Xiuning changed into clothes and sat decadently on the bed, no longer sleepy.
Li Xiuning shouted outside the door: "Yue'er, go and find information about the husband!"
After a while, He Yue'er came to the bedroom with a stack of information.
"Is this all the information about Chen Lang in the Western Regions?" Li Xiuning looked at the things that were at least 200,000 to 300,000 words and sighed: "I guess you have seen these things a long time ago, so you should choose the important ones for me!"
"Princess obeying the order" He Yue'er thought for a while and said, "After the prince-consort defeated the 200,000 army under the command of the Western Turkic commander Ye Hu Khan last year, he had almost no soldiers and soldiers to successfully arrive in Gaoche. Gaochang State also surrendered to the prince-consort at the end of last year. At this time, the prince-consort had completely occupied a large area east of Jinman County!"
Li Xiuning didn't have much impression of Jin Mancheng. She looked at He Yue'er and said, "You can mark Jin Man County on the map now!"
He Yueer marked the location of Jinman County and continued to explain: "According to news from the Western Regions, the prince-in-law has reclaimed 750,000 mu of grain fields in Jinman, which can almost satisfy the consumption!"
Li Xiuning naturally knew that an army that could be completely self-sufficient would be a hidden danger to the court's words.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuning suddenly asked: "What have the imperial court done recently?"
He Yueer shook her head and said, "Not yet!"
Just when he said there was no big deal, Li Yuan ordered the bell and drums to be ringed in the Wude Hall.
Nine consecutive loud drums were called, which was a signal that the imperial court gathered officials above the fifth rank in the capital to enter the Tai Chi Hall to discuss matters.
