♂Love in & Wen!.., free reading of wonderful novels without pop-ups!
Lawlessness and Quan Yi each led 7,000 soldiers and horses. They set off two days earlier than Li Hong. Naturally, he was the only one left for Li Hong, who has been listed as the top priority in Taiyi City. Buddha.
The lengthy and solemn ceremony at the entrance of the East Palace is slowly going on. In Li Hong’s view, every time the generals march out, it is like a group of great gods pretending to be gods and ghosts, and then the emperor will sacrifice some live chickens and ducks. , Used to symbolize victory in the expedition.
"When you arrive in the Western Regions, remember to beware of Wang Fangyi?" Wu Mei said lightly, holding Li Hong's hand in jet black armor.
The helmet was not worn on the head at this time, but was held in his arms, looking at the officials below and asking: "Wang Fangyi? Why should you be careful about him?"
"You little idiot, you are really stupid, you, Wang Jing and Wang Kang are dead for unknown reasons, and that Ashnatler and his two subordinates. The blind knows who did this. Yes, Wang Fangyi is the only general in the Jinyang Wang clan in recent years. Under Pei Xingjian’s subordinate, if you want to make some achievements in the Western Regions, you can’t leave anyone’s tongue.” Wu Mei pinched Li Hong’s finger, out of anger. Said.
"Don't worry about it, your son will not suffer. You and your father will wait for my victory here." Li Hong broke away Wu Mei's hand, stroked the helmet, and followed the courtier's voice He bowed, and skillfully put the helmet on his head.
Take two steps slowly, facing the emperor and empress of Datang, kneeling on one knee and loudly said: "I will do my best for the consolidation and prosperity of the four towns in Anxi today! Neglect the expectations of the father and the queen."
Li Zhi looked at Li Hong on one knee and slowly said, "I hope you will return in triumph."
Wu Mei followed Li Zhi and looked at the little man in a black armor. She didn't expect that she would look at a foolish little idiot in the daytime, but she has grown up now.
Standing there was almost as tall as his father, and coupled with his rigorous self-training over the past few years, there was an unangered and mighty murderous aura when he stopped.
Hua Meng took Li Hong’s "food ticket" for his mount. Naturally, this horse also has another "meal ticket", both of which were Li Zhi’s two good horses that were stolen back then. Now they are upright and mature, tall and mighty. , And standing with Li Hong in a black armor complemented each other.
She stepped up on horseback and took a deep look at Li Zhi and Wu Mei: "Father and queen take care of their bodies, and children will go."
Tiefutu had already been waiting outside Chang'an City, and now only the two hundred guards who followed Li Hong to participate in the expedition ceremony.
As Li Hong turned his horse's head, the 200-person guards next to him quickly turned on their horses. The whole movement was neat and uniform, without a trace of noise. Behind the horses, the two-hundred team suddenly looked like one. The out-of-the-sheathed horizontal sword is like a murderous feeling.
Hua Meng, Mangzhong, Xiaoxue, Summer Solstice, plus Banmei and Xunlan, the six people behind them also wore black armor, and followed Li Hong to the outside of Chang'an City Gate.
Looking at the dusty team, Wu Mei suddenly felt reluctant. Looking at the back of the team who had been submerged in the team, Wu Mei really wanted to send someone to call him back immediately, so she was really willing to go to the Western Regions to suffer. .
"Why didn't you give him the token just now?" Wu Mei said half a step behind Li Zhi, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials.
"He didn't want it. I gave it to him just now, but he rejected it." Li Zhi held a jade pendant in his hand, which was a jade pendant that could mobilize soldiers and horses.
Although Li Hong is now the main guard of the Anxi Protectorate, if he arrives at the Anxi Protectorate, Pei Xingjian is unwilling to delegate power, or he is unwilling to immediately hand over the power of troops because the prince is still young and needs training. As long as Li Hong took out this jade pendant, he could easily take over the military power.
Wu Mei looked at Li Zhi with a calm expression strangely, and couldn't help wondering: "Then you are not afraid that Li Hong's arrival at the Anxi Duhu Mansion will affect the morale of the army because of the fight for military power with Pei Xingjian?"
Li Zhi hehe smiled, looked at the mighty and solemn Hanyuan Temple ahead, turned his head and said: "What kind of waiter did Li Hong have done that he was not sure about? I believe he can handle the matter well. The generals are not harmonious. Li Hong knows better than anyone else. Looking at him like that, I am afraid that he already has a plan in his heart. Since it is released, there is no need to think too much. Besides, I have already decreed to Pei Xingjian. I think it will not affect the army. "
Wu Mei frowned when listening to Li Zhi's reassuring words. Anxi Duhu Mansion is no better than this Guanzhong area. Li Hong is a good at making money, just look at Taiyi City.
In the past few years, what reforms his prince's six-rate has done have always seemed to be thunder and rain. Until now, no one knows how powerful his prince's six-rate is. At least, Looking at the court, no one has said how good the prince’s six rates are.
The area under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Prefecture has shrunk a lot compared to previous years, but the four towns of Suiye, Khotan, Shule, and Qiuci, as the four most important towns in the Western Regions, are still Hold it in Datang's hands.
Still deterring the barbarians from all directions, except Tubo, which is on the plateau, has been unable to take the lead in the war because it is not conducive to the fighting of the Tang soldiers. Even when fighting against Tubo, Datang has always lost more and less victory. This year Even if it has turned from offense to defense, it can only be passive defense.
The Hexi Corridor is the only road leading to the Western Regions. Similarly, Yumenguan as the throat, as a part of the Hexi Corridor, both military and commerce, is the important town of Datang.
If it hadn't been for the destruction of the Tang Mansion’s military system and the equalization system in the next few decades, the fertile land of the Hexi Corridor would not be taken away by Tubo.
But even now, Datang can lead to the Western Regions, there is no other way except the Hexi Corridor. The Qilian Mountains in the north, as a natural barrier, provided Datang with a good barrier against the invasion of Tubo.
But as Tuyuhun was invaded by Tubo, Tubo's sense of touch has been extended to the extent that it is as if you are in Chang'an, and you can smell a hint of danger.
For more than a month, Li Hong did not urge his little 10,000 people to march quickly, but after walking into the Hexi Corridor, he began to observe the topography and landforms. This time, can he take Tubo? I don't know, but at least he must control Tuyuhun in his hands.
Tuyuhun is the strategic buffer zone of the Tang Dynasty to Tubo in the southwest. Everyone knows its importance. However, with the strength of Tubo, Tuyuhun, under the management of the waste of Nuohubo, made it easy for Tubo to take it. go.
Lawlessness and Quan Yi had already reached Yumen Pass. After the scout made contact with Li Hong’s soldiers and horses, the two left Wutian led the left and right guards to wait, and then immediately led the soldiers and horses to Suzhou to meet Li Hong. . The old **** Li Hong was riding on horseback. On this road, he finally knew what it means to be vast and sparsely populated. I couldn't help but sigh: It is really not an easy task for Datang to gain the current influence in the Western Regions.
"At the end of the day, Quan Yi has seen Dadu Guardian." The two stood up and dismounted, walked quickly to Li Hongma and saluted.
"Get up and talk, now it's winter, don't keep kneeling." Li Hong's armor has long been taken off, and he has worn Lanling's fur on him. Now it looks like, It's like a bear riding on a tall horse.
"Yes, the end will take orders." The two replied in a solemn voice.
Li Hong is very satisfied with these two people today, Quan Yi and Lawless, both are General Wei of the Fourth Grade.
"Is there any notice to Pei Xingjian? Where is he now?" After notifying the two of them to get on the horse, and then began to lead the team to Yumen Pass, Li Hong asked lightly.
"Pei Duhu is now in Qiuci, and Duhu Mansion is also located in Qiuci."
"Why is it in Kucha?" Li Hong frowned suddenly.
The broken leaf is the most to the west. It can be said that Datang is the most bordered military town in the Western Regions. Yutian is to the south, close to the border of Tubo. It is said that Pei Xingjian should be Yutian at this moment. Why did he go to Qiuci, which is to the east? Moreover, Qiuci has always bordered the East Turkistan and belongs to the jurisdiction of the Yunzhong Prefecture.
"What happened to Shule?" Li Hongxin sank a little, he found something was wrong, which was different from the historical information in his memory.
Sule’s geographical location is supposed to be the safest. From the north to the west is Suiye Town, and to the south to the east is Yutian Town. The three towns form a diagonal line, guarding the border of Datang.
But now Pei Xingjian is in Qiuci behind the three towns. According to the basic protective mansion setting, the protective mansion should be in Shule anyway. In this way, you can attack and rescue from left and right, and you can naturally help and command the turtles. Hereby.
"Going back to Daduhu, Jingzhe and Cheetah said from the information..." Unable to look at Li Hong's suddenly cold face, he said nervously.
"Take it here." Li Hong interrupted if he couldn't, and reached out for information from him.
Receiving the information that could not be delivered~IndoMTL.com~Li Hong glanced around and said lightly: "The whole army speeds up the march, rests at Yumen Pass tonight, and leaves for Shule tomorrow morning."
"Most Protector, Pei Xingjian asks you to go to Kucha first, saying that there is something to discuss." Quan Yi also took out a letter and handed it to Li Hong.
Li Hong took it again, and quickly closed it after reading it, closing his head silently, patting the horse's belly with his legs, and he was the first to take the initiative to speed up and head towards Yumen.
Yumen Pass must be at least ten days away from Qiuci, and it will take less than fifteen days away from Shule. Even if something happens, it is still too late at the moment.
Li Hong searched hard in his mind and recalled all the historical details he could remember, but no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't remember who the rioters in the Western Regions would be today.
The sky was too dark earlier than Chang'an. Just after arriving at Yumen Pass, the setting sun that was still hanging diagonally across the horizon hid under the horizon in a hurry than they were.
