People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1226 People’s hearts are swaying

under night.

A homing pigeon flew into the city gate tower.

Li Zhu took the carrier pigeon, then quickly took out the secret letter and put it into Li Xuan's hands.

Li Xuan glanced at it, and her expression suddenly became solemn: "Send the order to summon the generals to the lobby immediately for discussion."

"Here!" Li Zhu immediately turned around and walked quickly towards the city.

Li Xuan picked up the secret letter again and saw it clearly written on it: On Qinling's return to Luozou.

A slight smile appeared on Li Xuan's face.

……

In the lobby, Generals such as Hei Te Changzhi, Sun Renshi, Shi Jian, Qiu Zhenmu, Li Duozuo, Tang Zhenxing, Cui Ding, Nan Ju, Zhou Qian, Yan Tao, etc. all stood solemnly on both sides.

Xiao Siye and Yang Zhirou recorded on the side.

Wei Hongji stood at the back.

Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and armor, walked over from the side and sat behind the big case. Li Xuan calmly looked at Li Zhu behind her.

Li Zhu immediately stepped forward and handed the secret letter that Li Xuan had received to Hei Te Changzhi.

After Hei Te Changzhi took a look at it, he immediately handed it to Sun Renshi, and then handed it to Sun Renshi and Shi Jian, and passed it on one after another.

"May I ask, Commander, is this secret report true?" Hei Te Changzhi looked at Li Xuan cautiously.

"It's true." Li Xuan nodded and said, "At least on the other side, Lun Qinling has left at this moment."

"At least?" Sun Renshi reacted immediately, and everyone else looked at Li Xuan in surprise.

They are all senior generals of the army, so they naturally understand the subtext of Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan smiled and said: "According to time estimates, at this time, the affairs of the Great Dynasty at the beginning of the year have spread from the Western Regions to Luosu... After all, nearly three months have passed, and enough people have traveled from Chang'an to the Western Regions, and then from the Western Regions to Logically, the message has been passed around."

"Your Majesty's edict to defeat Tubo." Shi Xian's eyes jumped. He understood clearly how shocking the emperor's edict was to people's hearts.

"On the Qinling Mausoleum, the Tubo envoy Zabala was imprisoned in the Tanggula Mountains. The business trips from the Tang Dynasty to Tubo had also stopped long ago, and the news could not be spread at all. Therefore, the new king of Tubo had nothing to do with the edict before. I don't know, but now..." Li Xuan raised her eyes and looked outside the lobby with a sneer on her face.

"The Lord of Tubo is summoning Lun Qin Ling to return to Luo Luo." Hei Te Changzhi nodded, and then said: "Lun Qin Ling is afraid that he must go back, otherwise people's hearts will be in chaos."

The emperor specifically included these words in the edict.

"The Tubo ministers did not follow the instructions of their ancestors, destroyed the rules and regulations, abolished the elders and established the younger ones, and used their ministers to kill the emperor."

This is to doubt the truth behind the death of Tubo Zampu Mangsongmangzan.

"It is not strange for a brother to marry his brother, to take his brother's wife, and to marry his father and his concubines. They know each other from top to bottom."

This is a bad national custom of accusing Tubo, and it is a fact.

"The descendants fell into desolation and lost the way of monarchs and ministers; the prime minister was monopolizing power, the Xiantai complained, and the officials were cruel and cruel, so people's hearts turned against them."

This is also true.

"When the heavenly soldiers come together, the soldiers will immediately fall apart, the dead will be bruised, and the living will lose their flesh and blood. Although it is caused by human affairs, it is the time when heaven is disgusted with its virtues and abandons it."

This is the curse of Chiguoguo.

"Accept surrender and make peace without any slander... Those who wish to be subjects are no different from the people who raised them in the Tang Dynasty."

This is sowing discord.

"Death of one's body and destruction of one's country will bring laughter to the world."

This is the most direct form of ridicule.

Such a crusade edict will spread among the people in the shortest possible time, and Qin Ling must go back to deal with it.

If he didn't deal with it and allowed these things to spread, he would be in big trouble.

People's hearts are betrayed, they are suspicious of each other, the government and the public are resentful, and ambitions are everywhere.

"The Lord of Tubo will definitely summon Qinling back, but whether Qinling will come back or not is still open to debate." Li Xuan looked at the secret letter sent by Yan Tao.

The generals' eyes jumped, and then they asked carefully: "So, Your Majesty, this thing?"

"Lun Qinling must have left the other side, but he may not have gone back. He might be hiding somewhere waiting for us to take the bait, and then he will come back with his carbine." Li Xuan couldn't help but sneer, Lun Qinling This is all Ling has left to plan.

"What about us?" Hei Te Changzhi cupped his hands and looked at Li Xuan.

"Send the order." Li Xuan spoke.

All the generals immediately raised their hands and said: "I will obey the order."

"Zhonglang General Cui Ding of Zuo Jinwu Guard." After Li Xuan looked up to the left, he saw the last of all the generals.

"The general is here!" Cui Ding immediately passed over Tang Zhenxing, Qiu Zhenmu, Li Duozuo and Nan Ju, and stepped forward to offer his hands.

"I order you to lead five hundred Jinwu guards. Before arriving at the Tubo pass tomorrow, he is not allowed to do anything. He directly reads out His Majesty's edict to conquer Tubo. Be sure to explain it clearly to the Tubo soldiers word for word." Li Xuan's eyes were fierce, and the generals Immediately a cold.

Li Xuan used this method of stirring up people's hearts directly on the Tibetan army.

"Here!" Cui Ding held his hand and retreated into the train.

"Tang Zhenxing, the commander of the left guard, and Qiu Zhenmu, the commander of the right guard."

"The general is here." Tang Zhenxing and Qiu Zhenmu immediately stood up with their hands raised.

"I order you two to lead two thousand cavalry each to ambush behind the Jinwu Guards. If the Tibetan army is chasing after you, you will immediately ambush." ​​Li Xuan waved his hand and slashed.

"General, you will obey the order." Tang Zhenxing and Qiu Zhenmu immediately handed over their hands and retreated into the train.

"The right-leading army guard general Hete Changzhi, the right-leading army guard Zhonglang general Li Duozuo."

"The end will be here." Hei Te Changzhi and Li Duozuo stood up at the same time with their hands raised.

"I order you two to lead the main force of the right-wing army guard to garrison the city gate, and attack immediately if there is an opportunity." Li Xuan's face was fierce.

"General, take your orders." Hei Te Changzhi and Li Duozuo immediately handed over their hands and retreated into the train.

"Sun Renshi, the general of the right garrison, and Nan Ju, the middle man of the right garrison."

"The general is here." Sun Renshi and Nan Ju solemnly stood up with their hands raised.

"Order the two of you to lead the main force of the right garrison and slowly advance into Tubo from the mountain road west of Qamdo. Once the northeast of Tubo falls, you must immediately lead the army to penetrate it, and then connect the grain road to ensure the army's retreat." Li Xuan looked deeply. He looked at Sun Renshi and Nan Ju.

The two of them didn't hesitate and immediately handed over their hands: "The last general will take the order."

The Youtun Guards are the weakest among all the armies, only stronger than the Changzhou Prefecture Soldiers and the Heyuan Guards. All along, the main force of the Youtun Guards had been stationed in Qamdo, but it was only because Li Xuan arrived at Tanggula Mountain that they were called over.

Li Xuan looked at General Zuo Xiaowei Shi Jian: "General Zuo Xiaowei Shi Jian."

"The general is here." Shi Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with his hands raised.

"Tell Zuo Xiaowei's troops to recharge their batteries. Once the army kills the Tanggula people, I want you to get in front of them." Li Xuan looked cold and stern.

"The last general takes orders." Shi Xian immediately handed over his hand. Although he was a little disappointed and could not immediately intervene in the current battle, it was obvious that after entering Tubo territory, Zuo Xiaowei would be responsible for all combat matters.

This is extremely skilled for the Zuo Xiaowei Turkic cavalry.

The Zuo Xiaowei's five thousand Turkic cavalry serve under Li Xuan. Although Tubo is currently in turmoil, these Zuo Xiaowei Turkic cavalry all come from tribes close to the Tang Dynasty.

The government should have transferred them back after the grassland war began, but strangely, the government actually left them all under Li Xuan's command.

Li Xuan stood up, looked at everyone and said: "Military orders are adjusted at any time, and all ministries must act according to the orders and must not slack off."

"The general will obey the order."

……

Tanggula Mountain, under the Tubo Pass, is covered in mist.

Above the city gate, countless Tubo soldiers looked down at the city gate, holding swords tightly in their hands.

I'm afraid that the next moment, the Tang people will come and kill them directly.

Last autumn and winter, people in Tang Dynasty did this a lot.

"Throw the fireball down." A red-armored general ordered directly. The next moment, the ignited fireball was thrown down from the city wall.

On the sloping mountain road, more than a dozen fireballs rolled rapidly, and the weapons on the mountain road quickly dispersed.

Soon, at the end of the line of sight, the figure of Sergeant Tang appeared.

The rocks rolled down, and they, who had been prepared for it, immediately got out of the way.

At this time, the Tubo soldiers on the city wall realized that there were not many Tang troops below...

Cui Ding, who was dressed in red and gold armor, rushed forward, and then opened a yellow edict in the eyes of the Tubo people in disbelief.

This is an imperial edict that can be circulated in all directions in the court and circulated to the front soldiers of the Taoist army.

Cui Ding held the imperial edict in his hand and shouted loudly: "Order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"Here!" Five hundred Jinwu guards in red clothes and golden armor raised their hands and shouted loudly: "Order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

The loud sound suddenly attracted the attention of all the soldiers guarding the Tubo city wall.

Cui Ding continued to shout: "Since ancient times, when emperors came to rule the world, they all lived in China to control the barbarians, and the barbarians lived outside to serve China.

……

Tubo is an evil neighbor and a surly country. It is unrighteous, cunning, aggressive, stingy and lewd. It has fake rituals, cunning and rampant...

I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, dispatched the General of the Army, General Wang Xuan of Nanchang, General Hei Te Changzhi, General Hei Te Changzhi, General Sun Renshi of the Right Tun Guard, General Shi Jian of the Left Xiao Guard and other generals to attack Su Pi. They plundered the army and forced Yangtong to attack the northern foot of Tanggula Mountain.

With one powerful blow, Naqu was broken in Shannan.

Leap forward, destroying your emotions in an instant...

Although it is caused by human affairs, when heaven is disgusted with his virtues and abandons him...

If you can surrender and surrender sincerely, then the communication will be as good as before and the support will still be there.

If you resist stubbornly and become a bandit for me, then the sky will be clear and the sky will be clear, and everything will be wiped out.

When the body dies and the country is destroyed, the world laughs.

Therefore, I would like to inform you.

Like the law. "

……

"As ordered!"

"As ordered!"

"As ordered!"

Countless shouts and shouts sounded together, and surprisingly it was the five hundred or so Jinwu guardsmen who shouted in unison.

The huge sound directly hit the city.

Many people on the city wall who understood Tang Dynasty Mandarin couldn't help but change their expressions at this time.

"Push up!" Cui Ding turned and looked to the side.

The next moment, a catapult was brought up.

Aiming at the city head, Cui Ding waved his hand, and then a huge rolling ball flew straight towards the Tubo city wall.

The flying height of the rolling ball is much higher than that of ordinary rolling stones, and the speed is also much faster.

In the blink of an eye, it had flown to the Tubo city wall, and the next moment, a long arrow shot straight from behind.

With a "bang" sound, the rolling ball exploded immediately.

In an instant, countless pieces of paper fell down like snow.

The note fell outside the city, inside the city, and on the city wall.

Some Tibetan soldiers couldn't help but pick up the piece of paper, and they were surprised to see Tibetan characters on the piece of paper, writing what Cui Ding said just now.

Especially the first five words: Order of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

As soon as these five words hit the eye, people are immediately shaken.

When they saw the above content clearly, all the Tubo soldiers could not help but turn pale and clenched their fists.

The note was crumpled into a ball in an instant.

Some of the Tubo soldiers couldn't help but look back...

It's as if somewhere behind there is their most important support in the hearts of the people.
