The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 118 The so-called timing

The lieutenant next to Li Jing heard the words, cupped his fists and said, "I don't know how the chief executive will arrange it."

Li Jing opened his eyes, stood up from the grand teacher's chair, paced in the tent, and said: "Send an order to Yangguan and Suzhou to join forces to encircle and suppress the [-] Tubo soldiers in Longxi, and don't miss any of them." , took out a token and handed it to the lieutenant general.

"Yes!" The deputy general took the token, turned around and left the commander's account.

For many years, Tubo has always been a thorn in Datang's heart, a thorn that cannot be removed. Tubo is located on a plateau, and often comes down to invade the border of Tang Dynasty. For this, the officials in the court are quite helpless. Thing, His Majesty Li Er has lost his temper several times, but there is nothing he can do about it, he can't fight, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can't adapt to the environment on the plateau, but the Tubo people can easily walk down the plateau, after looting It's very depressing to shrink back again. Every time I put up a stance on the border of Hanzhou to start a war with Tubo, but every time the Tubo people hear the wind, they will be peaceful for a while. This is the case all year round. Angry.

Since they dared to let people come down this time, Li Jing planned to deal with them severely, not to wipe out the entire Tubo army, but also to goug out a piece of meat fiercely, so that the Tubo people would be terribly hurt.

At this time, in the handsome tent of the Tubo camp stationed at the foot of Jishi Mountain, Lu Dongzan looked at the letter in his hand with a frosty face. Gerdan, a fool, [-] Tubo warriors were tripped by [-] Tang troops and moved in Shicheng. no.

"Fool!" Lu Dongzan slammed the letter on the case, disrupting Longxi's plan to distract the Tang army was so delayed by Gerdan, it was all in vain. Repeatedly mobilized, it seemed that he wanted to make some moves, and Lu Dongzan was inevitably a little nervous. He had heard of Li Jing, the ever-victorious general of the Tang Dynasty, and the powerful Turkic tribe that year was wiped out overnight in his hands. If this kind of person didn't have Tubo's natural terrain advantages, Lu Dongzan would not dare to fight Li Jing.

Fighting wars requires consumption. Over the years, Tubo has conquered Sun Bo and Yangtong, relying on wars to support wars. However, when fighting against the Tang army, the Tang army is behind the entire fertile Guanzhong, and most of the land behind them is endless. Once the Tang army can adapt to the environment of Tubo, those waiting for Tubo will be doomed, and Lu Dongzan wants this momentary victory. As long as they win, not only Being able to marry the princess smoothly, moreover, being able to ask for more things from the rich Tang Dynasty, just like the once powerful Turks.

At this time, Lu Dongzan remembered the glory of the Turks, but he forgot what happened to the Turks after they plundered the Tang Dynasty.

"A bunch of idiots!" Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan couldn't help yelling at those nobles in Tubo who only knew how to drink and play with women. Gerdan was one of the generals of these nobles. How much food and treasures can be plundered in the Western Regions of Tang Dynasty.Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan also had a slight prejudice against Zanpu, a young man from Tubo.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, now that it is like this, the battle still has to go on, as long as he wins a battle with Li Jing, Tubo will have confidence, and he will straighten up when he talks to Datang.

"The prime minister calm down." The person next to him said: "For the present plan, we can only transfer Gerdan back, otherwise, if he is dragged in Shicheng like this again, he will be wiped out by the Tang army."

Lu Dongzan deliberately didn't want to take care of Gerdan, let him fend for himself so as to destroy the spirit of those ineffective nobles in Tubo, but after all, there are [-] Tubo warriors. The villagers caused quite a blow, so they could only nod their heads in agreement with what the man said: "Well, there must be no mistake in ordering Gerdan to return to Tibet as soon as possible!"

"Yes." The man nodded lightly and walked out.

Lu Dongzan was the only one left in the tent. Lu Dongzan stroked the two mustaches around his mouth, squinted his eyes and said to himself: "We need a chance to face Li Jing."

However, Li Jing has been on the battlefield for many years, how could he give Lu Dongzan such a so-called opportunity?

The night passed, and this was the most peaceful night Xuan Shijing slept after leaving Khotan Town. The morning sun shined into the room through the window, illuminating the whole room. It is rare that Long'er didn't come to wake Xuan Shijing up today. .

Long'er also felt that her Lord Marquis had worked too hard these two days, since she was willing to sleep, she should sleep enough, not to mention, with the current weather, it would be a pain for her to wake up early in the morning for the oath competition.

After a while, Xuan Shijing woke up leisurely, lifted the quilt, stretched his waist, and looked towards the table. Sure enough, the clothes to be worn today were ready, got up and went to the table, stepping on his boots, He started to wear a coat, different from the soft armor in the past, what Long'er prepared for Xuan Shijing today is a slightly thicker blue silk robe with curly moiré patterns, and a blue long gown on the outside.

After changing his clothes, he looked at his hair in front of the bronze mirror. In the past, Long'er helped him tie his hair, but now that Long'er is not here, how can he manage his hair.

Fallen, Xuan Shijing couldn't help sighing in his heart, picked up a wooden comb from the table, smoothed his hair, and tied it in a ponytail casually. A big man combing his hair in front of the mirror is really uncomfortable, but At least it won't be as messy as when he just woke up. Xuan Shijing is only 15 years old this year, and he is still a minor. It is quite normal to tie his hair like this.

After tidying up, Xuan Shijing went out of the room and saw Long'er and Gao Jun drinking tea downstairs, she also walked down the stairs and sat beside them.

Seeing Xuan Shijing's hair, Long'er burst out laughing.

"Young Lord, this is the hair you combed yourself." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile.

"That's right, you're not here, so I can only do it myself." Xuan Shijing spread his hands, and didn't bother with Long'er on this issue, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.

Calling the younger brother, Xuan Shijing ordered some steamed buns, pickles and porridge, and simply ate breakfast.

For more than ten years, Xuan Shijing's breakfast has been as light as it is now. Yuan Shoucheng said that eating a lighter breakfast is good for health. Eating meat buns and meat pies early in the morning is too greasy. Yuan Shoucheng didn't say anything, but Xuan Shijing knew about it, so he ate vegetarian food for breakfast at the Hou Mansion.

"Young Lord, I went shopping outside this morning, and almost all the merchants stopped selling grain to foreigners in the city. It seems that General Ding gave the order yesterday." Gao Jun said: "It's just that, Really." Gao Jun hesitated to speak, he was worried that if it was only reasonable for Tubo to ban food, if it was the same for all foreigners in Longxi, it might cause unnecessary troubles.

"It's nothing bad." Xuan Shijing swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said: "In the era of the Tang Dynasty, the most appropriate sentence to describe the foreign race is the non-my race, and their hearts must be different, whether it is the current Tubo or the previous one. Turks, or the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Gaochang, Qiuci, the six kingdoms of Nanzhao, and the Goguryeo and Wa kingdoms in the east, which one is not secretly coveting the Tang Dynasty, so, don’t be so merciful to foreigners, think about your death A hundred or so brothers in the hands of the Tibetans."

People have to gradually learn to be ruthless, just like Xuan Shijing now, the matter in Shicheng has gradually come to an end, but the account book of Changan in Guan has just been opened.
