Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 668 Unite to Resist Tang Dynasty
Chapter 81 United against Datang

"What's going on at Shenyuanguan?" Li Yuan's heart was suspended at that moment.Shenyuan Pass belongs to one of the Eight Passes of Luoyang and belongs to the Henan Province. Once there is a change, it is likely to spread to the entire Henan Province. The most important thing is that if Luoyang is lost, it will be a real slap in the face.

Li Yuan couldn't wait to unfold the letter, glanced at it twice, and his eager heart immediately relaxed.

Fortunately, this was just a false alarm, just a small-scale civil uprising. Due to the rapid expansion of the Tang Dynasty, the quality of officials was uneven. Shan Xiongxin, Wang Junkuo, and later, following Wang Junlang's meritorious service in the Battle of Luoyang, Guo Jize knew a few words, and was granted the title of Yanshi Order.Since the Shenyuanguan guarded the ancient official road of Shenyuan from Luoyang to the east of Henan, the south of Henan, Jingchu, and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with the end of the war, it became a commercial road. Wang Xuan of Shang Dao took a chance.

The result turned out to be good, Wang Xuan, the guard of the Yuanyuan Pass, had accumulated tens of thousands of family fortunes in a short period of time through kana seizures and plundering.Guo Jize was very jealous. Guo Jize, who followed the Wagang Army, was also a bold figure. He asked Wang Xuan for bribes.

Wang Xuan was uneasy because of his arrogance and transgression of the law, so he killed the post officials and really raised his troops.However, Miaomiao who responded was personally arrested by Wang Junlang's personal guards.

……

In Qinglin outside Chang'an City, Chenjiabao.Ever since Li Xiuning became pregnant, Li Xiuning has not returned to Chang'an, but rested in Chenjiabao to rest and conceive.

"Your Highness, Consort Chen has sent you a letter!"

Li Xiuning was overjoyed upon hearing this.

After opening the letter, Chen Ying didn't write too many words.It’s just some daily greetings, and at the end of the poem, I wrote a poem “Qinghai’s long clouds and dark snow-capped mountains, the lonely city looks at Yumen Pass in the distance.

After reading the letter, Li Xiuning looked worried.

He Yue'er laughed and said, "Your son-in-law won the battle, why are you unhappy?"

Li Xiuning smiled wryly and said: "Chen Lang is another worry-free person. If he sees a good one, he will accept it. In such a cold day, I don't know how much he will suffer. Now the enemy is not scary, but the most likely thing is evil the weather!"

He Yue'er persuaded: "Your Highness, don't worry, Chen Consort Chen has his own destiny!"

"I hope!" Li Xiuning patted her swollen abdomen, and murmured: "Your father is not worrying, and you are also a worrying one. You are a mother all day long, so you are so anxious to figure it out!"

He Yue'er pursed her lips and laughed.

Li Xiuning asked again: "What important move has the imperial court made?"

He Yue'er said: "There is no major movement, according to the news from the palace, it is said that His Majesty is going to make the King of Qin the Chief Governor of Liangzhou"!
"King Qin, Governor of Liangzhou!"

When Li Xiuning heard this, his face changed immediately.As the first princess of the Tang Dynasty to be a prince, Li Xiuning is not only good at embroidery.

She wasn't really ignorant of Li Jiancheng's fight with Li Shimin, she just didn't want to get involved.Li Xiuning thought for a while and said, "Yue'er, go and send me a message to the King of Qin. If there is anything good or bad about Chen Concubine, I will not spare him!"

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

He Yue'er turned around and said, "Princess, what else can I order!"

Li Xiuning said: "You don't need to pass it on. Prepare a car for me. I'm going to Prince Qin's mansion to see Princess Qin!"

……

As Chen Ying wiped out the 20 troops under Tongyehu Khan in the battle of Liangzhou, Siyehu Ashina was captured, Tongyehu Khan was defeated and died, and the 20 troops were wiped out.

Unknowingly, a "fear of the Tang Dynasty" blew in the Western Regions.Even Chen Ying has not discovered that the "Datang Threat Theory" has dominated the entire market overnight.

Gaochang Gaochang City, Gaochang King Qu (Yin Qu) Boya sat heavily on the throne, looked at Ling Yin Ma Mengming in shock and said: "What did you say, Tong Yehu Khan lost? How is this possible?"

Gaochang Kingdom is actually a Han regime, which is a very rare existence in this big environment where the Western Regions are full of barbarians.Most of these Gaochang people are descendants of the Tuntian Army who migrated to Gaochangbi during the Western Han Dynasty.Since Qu Jia, the first Gaochang king, was elected as Gaochang king by everyone, a relatively independent and stable Han regime has emerged in Gaochang for more than 140 years, which was called "Qu's Gaochang" in history.Qu's Gaochang basically followed the political system of the feudal dynasty in the Central Plains.Below the king, there is a Ling Yin who is equivalent to a prime minister; there are many administrative departments such as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Ancestral Hall, the Ministry of Treasury, the Ministry of Warehouse, the Ministry of Hosts and Guests, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Ministry of War.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 Yiwu (now Hami) has also fallen?"

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

Qu Boya leaned heavily on the throne, and heaved a long sigh.It seems to have miscalculated.Originally thought it was just a ranger who won by surprise, but he didn't expect that the situation would change so much in the past few months!

When there were sporadic routs two months ago, who were captured with Siyehu Ashina, Tongyehu Khan Tili sent the news that Batur and Tengjin Zhenzhu were all killed in battle.Qu Boya and Ma Mengming, like all Gaochang people, believed that this was a trick of the Tang people, that this was a rumor deliberately spread by the Tang people, or that it was misrepresented for some reason.

"The 20 Western Turkic Army was defeated by the [-] Tang Army on foot? How is that possible?"

During that time, it became the funniest joke in the streets and alleys of Gaochang City.But soon all kinds of unfavorable news came one after another. First, the head of the famous Tong Yehu Khan was seen by the rout soldiers carrying the spear of the Tang general, and then it was said that the Tang people organized an army of [-] to march westward. .

Qu Boya thinks this is definitely a rumor, because everyone knows how cold the weather in the Western Regions is after entering October. It is not an exaggeration to say that when you spit outside the tent at night, it will turn into a hockey puck when it hits the ground. Twirling and turning.Soaking urine can hang yo.

In such cold weather, don't look at the army can't stand it, even the horses can't stand it. No one can march in such cold weather, not even the Western Turks.

However, Chen Ying used more than 5000 sleds to march in tents and RVs. On so many sleds, a ten-person tent was pulled on them, and the soldiers hid in the tents and marched with fire.Even the war horses were equipped with furs to keep them warm.

Of course, in such weather non-combat attrition was 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 caravan, Chen Ying asked people to prepare briquettes, and the fire in each caravan was kept on all night, which greatly improved this problem.

Li Xiuning was worried that Chen Ying would suffer, but Chen Ying sat in the carriage, surrounded by four stoves, wearing thin clothes, and did not feel cold.

At this time, Chen Ying and Luo Shixin were sitting around a copper urn, eating mutton.The weather is cold at this time, as long as you hang the mutton in front of the car window for half an hour, the mutton will freeze into ice cubes, and you only need to use a knife to cut layer by layer, and you can cut the mutton as thin as cicada's wings roll.

This kind of mutton roll is put into the boiling soup pot, and it tastes very good when it is taken out and eaten immediately.

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

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

Chen Ying unconsciously looked at the east: "There will be chili peppers. When the world is peaceful in the future, I will go to Brother Zhang Zhongjian and ask for a boat to go to the Americas to bring back the chili peppers!"

In order to eat chili, why not travel thousands of miles.

Of course, when Chen Ying and Luo Shixin were eating hot pot and boiling mutton, Gaochang King Qu Boya suddenly looked at Ma Mengming vigilantly and said, "How is Gao Che?"

Gaoche is an important town that is very close to Gaochang City. If we say that the distance between Gaoche and Gaochang is less than two hundred miles!If Gaoche also falls, then the vast and fertile Gaochang area will completely open her attractive chest to Tang Jun.

"The mountain is covered by heavy snow, and there is no news yet. Tang Jun's rangers have approached Gaoche several times to peep, but there has been no conflict yet." Ma Mengming said: "We have [-] elites in Gaoche. If we guard the city , should be able to withstand it for a while, but if Tang Jun really intends to enter the Tianshan area, our Gaochang country can't stop it!"

Qu Boya said: "Our Gaochang Kingdom alone will definitely not be able to stop the Tang people, how about this, Ma Lingyin, you send a letter to the Khotan Kingdom Lord in the name of your country's lord, telling him that the Tang people are not good, and we in the Western Regions must Let's unite and fight against the Great Tang!"

Seeing that Ma Mengming hadn't retreated, Qu Boya asked, "Is there anything else?"

While carefully looking at Qu Boya, Ma Mengming asked, "Your Majesty, can we actually consider making peace with Tang Jun? After all, before joining forces with Tong Yehu, there was no old grudge between us and Tang Jun. If you think about it, none of us have had direct contact with them before."

Qu Boya said, "But Tang people, can you trust them?"

"This... If you don't get in touch, how do you know?" Ma Mengming said: "The 20 Tang army defeated Tong Yehu Khan's 5000 army, and our Gaochang Kingdom only has [-] troops at most. Even if the king of Khotan can agree to join forces, we The alliance is only [-] people. If Tong Yehu Khan was willing, he could wipe out our two countries with just a jin. The Tang people can even defeat Tong Yehu Khan. "

Qu Boya said: "Then let's get in touch first. Our Gaochang Kingdom can pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty as well!"
