Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 263 Going Home

Gal Dongzan looked at his two excited sons and smiled, but there was a trace of uneasiness in his eyes.

Only he knew that this battle was far from as easy as it seemed.

But if they don't fight today, it will be even more difficult for them to plan a surprise attack on Tuyuhun when Tang Ting's plan for Longyou is finalized.

Moreover, Galdongzan was also worried about one thing: the Tang court would send people to intervene in Tuyuhun's internal affairs.

The strength of Tuyuhun is not weak. They are both a nomadic tribe. Their riding and archery are very outstanding. Qinghai Lake also produces Qinghai Cong, a bright horse that comes and goes like the wind. The combination of the two cannot be underestimated.

However, the Khan of Tuyuhun, Murong Nuohebo, was too incompetent and stupid to convince the public, and the ministers below him were intrigues and chaos. It was because of the support of the Tang court, otherwise Murong Nuohebo, a fool like him, would have been killed countless times by his own ministers.

Murong Nuohebo failed to manage the situation in Tuyuhun well, but Tang Ting had the ability.

At that time, Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, personally visited Tuyuhun to "help" Murong Nuohebo stabilize the situation in Tuyuhun when King Xuan was planning a rebellion before leaving.

More than ten years have passed, and Tuyuhun is in a mess again under the governance of Murong Nuohebo.

Galdongzan has always regarded all of this as a gift from God. As long as the time comes, they can succeed, until now the direction of the wind has changed.

Originally, the longer they delayed, the better it would be for them, but now it has become more and more disadvantageous.

Attacking now, there is still a 50% chance of winning, but when the Tang army is fully deployed, they will be 30% sure at most. If Tang Ting is helping Murong Nuohebo reorganize the internal affairs, they will not be able to win quickly. They will only be attrition and have no chance of winning.

No matter what, you have to give life or death a try.

The uneasiness in Gal Dongzan's eyes gradually became firmer.

Under the governance of Gardongzan, Tubo already had the foundation of a powerful country.

With an order, the five chiefs Wuru, Yuoru, Yeru, Rula, and Supiru, who were in charge of the Tubo military, transported their respective soldiers to the front line, totaling no less than one hundred thousand.

Just when Tubo was about to start a war, Chen Qingsi finally returned to Chang'an.

Looking at the increasingly familiar metropolis, Chen Qingsi first thanked the guards of the Cheng family: "Thanks to the protection of all the heroes along the way, I would like to express my sincere thanks."

All the guards returned the favor one after another.

The leader, Xie Hao, even said: "We rough guys can follow Mr. Chen on this journey because we burned incense in our previous life. If brothers like us are useful in the future, feel free to use them..."

Chen Qingsi was affable, friendly to others, and generous with his actions. Everyone who went north to live this time received generous rewards. Even the soldiers who followed Cheng Bo All the guards were grateful. If they weren't from the military and were closely tied to the Cheng family, they would have thought of changing jobs.

Chen Qingsi immediately said hello to Di Renjie and Cheng Boxian, and took Zhou Kui straight to the Chen family's residence.

He opened the door, but it was Jiang Chen whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Jiang Wenshu, you and I will talk later. I'll go see Madam first."

Chen Qingsi knew about Jiang Chen's arrival. Before Xiao Miaochen gave birth, he wrote about it in a letter.

As Chen Qingsi expected, Zheng Rong was transferred out of Qingxi County under the control of the Zheng family shortly after he left.

Originally, the overall team operation of Qingxi County relied on Chen Qingsi to take charge of everything and operate on the line. Without Chen Qingsi, the soul is missing. They left such an important position as county magistrate again. If Shi Wuzi and Jiang Chen left again, Qingxi County would definitely be in a situation where there were not enough subordinate officials.

In order to prevent Qingxi County from falling into a situation of people leaving and leaving for tea, he specially kept Jiang Chen and persuaded Shi Wuzi to stay for a few more months to give the new county magistrate Wei Hao a chance to adapt to the plan.

Jiang Chen took his wife and children to Chang'an after Wei Hao completely took over Qingxi County, which was just over two months ago.

Chen Qingsi had already made arrangements for Jiang Chen and was in charge of affairs in the mansion. He knows his roots and his abilities are sufficient. Knowing the relationship between his husband and his wife, Jiang Chen stepped aside, looked at the special trophies he had brought from Lingzhou, and asked people to move them into the house for arrangement.

Chen Qingsi went straight into the backyard, where Xiao Miaochen was lazily lying on the couch with her child in her arms, taking a nap in the sun.

Qianyan and Qingkong accompany each other.

Qingkong has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and was the first to notice Chen Qingsi's arrival. A hint of joy flashed in her eyes and she said: "Master Lang is back!"

After Xiao Miaochen heard the news, he hurriedly looked toward the courtyard gate. As expected, he saw her husband, whom she had longed for day and night, and sweetly called out: "Husband!"

Chen Qingsi said: "Girl Qingkong is not sensible at all, she still wants to give Madam a surprise!"

Xiao Miaochen came forward with the baby in her arms and said, "I'm not afraid of surprising the child!"

She said: "Husband, come and see the baby. They say it looks like you!"

Chen Qingsi was also a little excited. She reached out to take the tightly wrapped baby, but still looked at her wife and said, "Let's take a look at her first..."

Xiao Miaochen's face was a little pale. Although she was already in confinement, she could still see the weakness in her bones.

In this era, there is not enough understanding of childbirth, and giving birth to a child is like stepping into the gate of hell.

Even if mother and child are safe, the mother will be hurt far more deeply than in future generations.

Chen Qingsi held the child in one hand and led her to sit on the couch with the other.

"Madam has lost weight! I feel sorry for her husband!"

Chen Qingsi caressed Xiao Miaochen's cheek.

Xiao Miaochen's eyes were filled with mist, and she said angrily: "I didn't cry when I gave birth to the child, but when my husband came, he made me cry."

Only then did Chen Qingsi look at the baby in her arms.

The baby is now one month and ten days old and has grown into a plump and plump child.

Chen Qingsi perfectly avoided the ugliest time when the baby comes out of the amniotic fluid.

Baibai, fat and fat...

The baby was drowsy, almost eating and sleeping. At this moment, he was sleeping beautifully, and unconsciously curled his lips from time to time. It made Chen Qingsi, the father, feel his heart melt.

Xiao Miaochen looked at her husband's soft eyes as he looked at the baby, and immediately felt that he was worth the punishment.

"Lang Jun!"

Xiao Miaochen looked at her husband for a while, and then said: "It's been a hard journey, and I should have rested, but I can't avoid necessary social activities. Your Majesty specially ordered the maids in the Queen's Palace to accompany you day and night. Your kindness is as great as heaven. Now that Langjun has arrived home, No matter what, I had to write a memorial note of gratitude. There was also the queen, who rewarded a lot of good things, which were precious medicinal materials in the palace to restore vitality. In addition, there was also Mrs. Yan Guo, who learned that Lang Jun was far away in Lingzhou, so she specially Come to the mansion to keep me company. My husband should also thank you very much, and my husband has been dismissed by your majesty. I am afraid that my husband is not aware of this matter. You can make your own decision..."

Chen Qingsi carefully handed the baby to Xiao Miaochen and said: "After taking care of these, I will accompany my wife."

Chen Qingsi had long been accustomed to Xiao Miaochen's kindness. He kissed her lightly on the forehead and walked to his study.
