Chapter 262 Good news and re-entering the capital!
"Hehe, since I led the army into Tubo, I have certain confidence. In fact, it is not as scary as you imagined. Tubo is vast and sparsely populated. My [-] army can come and go freely in Tubo. If the Tubo people want to encircle me, It's not easy either."

A confident smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, "Besides, Tubo has fallen into civil strife, and no two or three years can't recover. Tubo has a total of less than 20 soldiers and horses, and I wiped out more than [-] troops in Qinghai. They also defeated many of its military camps in Tubo territory several times... According to my estimation, the Tubo people have been unable to attack the Tang Dynasty in three years."

"As long as there are three years of operation, the old place of Tuyuhun will truly become the territory of our dynasty. To open up the territory and take down the old place of Tuyuhun-it can be regarded as a generous gift from me to the little emperor." Zhang Xuan slowly turned his head and looked Turning in the direction of Chang'an, his gaze became a little uncertain.

"Governor, Huihe Princess Su Hudong, please resign!"

At the arch, a soldier bowed to report.

Zhang Xuan was taken aback, "Su Hudong is going to lead his army back to Hehe now?"

"Yes. Princess Su Hudong has already led the army to gather outside the city of Hezhou, ready to set off."

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "The Huihe soldiers and horses helped the war, and they also made great contributions to the court. Go tell Princess Su Hudong, and say that this commander will never forget the friendship of the Huihe cavalry soldiers to help the Tang Dynasty, and this commander will definitely repay it in the future." !"

"Yes."

Hua Nuer suddenly smiled softly when she heard the words, "Why, don't you go to send your little lady off in person? The little emperor has already given a marriage, and will choose a day to marry you and Su Hudong, and let her marry you Let’s be a flat wife at home.”

Zhang Xuan smiled wryly, "It's all about playing the qin and messing around with mandarin ducks...how could it be possible, Su Hudong and I?"

"Do you still dare to resist the marriage? Well, don't be hypocritical, this Huihe princess is as beautiful as a flower, and she is quite worthy of you! Although your temper is a bit violent, you, the governor of Longshuo, can't hold her down! Huihe people I am willing to get married with you, it is nothing more than showing goodwill to Datang, since it is beneficial to both countries, why do you push back and forth again!"

Su Hudong's bright and wild face suddenly appeared before Zhang Xuan's eyes, and the wry smile at the corner of his mouth became heavier and heavier.

After returning to the Tang Dynasty, the news of the marriage bestowed by the court naturally reached his and Su Hudong's ears.He was fine, but Su Hudong acted extremely fiercely, as if he was very reluctant.Now that he suddenly leads the army to resign, it may be that Huihe went to "ask for an explanation" from Guli Peiluo.

The two have been together in Tubo for nearly two months, so it can be said that they have a certain understanding of each other.Although it can't be called mutual affection, at least Zhang Xuan has a certain place in Su Hudong's heart.

However, Su Hudong has a rebellious and staunch personality. Although she has a lot of admiration for Zhang Xuan's literary and martial arts, she also developed some unclear feelings, but her father gave Zhang Xuan himself as a gift to seek political interests. Subconsciously, she had a strong resistance in her heart.

In particular, Zhang Xuan has already married a wife, and asked her to be Zhang Xuan's second wife-it sounds nice to say, but it is actually a concubine's room. How can Su Hudong, who has always been proud and arrogant, agree!

outside the city.

Su Hudong looked back at the majestic Hezhou City with a complicated expression on his horse. After a long silence, he swung his whip and said calmly, "Let's go!"

5000 Huihe cavalry rode their horses and raised their whips, galloped away from Hezhou, and headed towards Huihe.

Changan.

When Zhang Xuan led his army to capture the hometown of Tuyuhun, Li Heng received two secret reports from Hezhou from Li Fuguo.One is for Li Heng himself, and the other is for the Tang court.

It probably means that Zhang Xuan formed a party in Longshuo for personal gain, and the generals of Longshuo would not listen to orders, disrespect the court, and disrespect His Royal Highness. Firearms, conspiracy, hope that the court will strictly handle it, etc.

Regarding the former, Li Heng was dubious.

But the latter made Li Heng feel heavy.

The Tang army won a decisive battle with the Tubo army in the outskirts of Shanzhou. The firearms under Zhang Xuan displayed great power. The news has spread throughout the Tang Dynasty. Naturally, the court has also heard about it, but they have not received any military reports from Longshuo. .

Since it is a sharp weapon used in the military, it must be manufactured under the supervision of the imperial court, but Zhang Xuan is suspected of making firearms privately.

Li Heng was puzzled by his thoughts, but the general Chen Xuanli, who had always been dissatisfied with Zhang Xuan, and Tong Zhongshumenxia Pingzhangshi, and the Minister of the Household Department Zhang Jiyong joined forces with some courtiers to participate in Zhang Xuan's plot again and again, demanding that the court issue an edict to forgive him. Zhang Xuan's position as the military governor of the metropolis was transferred back to the capital for questioning.

After the news spread, some royal families that Zhang Xuan had offended in the past also took the opportunity to move around, and began to play tricks and add insult to injury.

Although Yang Guozhong, Chen Xilie and others insisted on waiting for Zhang Xuan to return to the army before making a claim.However, under the series of clamor and instigation by Chen Xuanli and others, Li Heng gradually became somewhat suspicious of Zhang Xuan in his heart, and moved to take down Zhang Xuan.

After several hesitation, Li Heng still issued an edict.

Ge Shuhan of Hexi was appointed as the governor of Longshuo, and Zhang Xuan was removed from the post of governor of Longshuo. The affairs of Longshuo were entrusted to Li Fuguo, the supervisor of the army, followed by Guo Ziyi.When Zhang Xuan returned with his army, he immediately returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and the imperial court made other appointments.

Of course, it would be a different matter if Zhang Xuan led his army and fell into Tubo, and his death and hatred disappeared.I am afraid that even if Zhang Xuan died, he would not escape the fate of a sinner.

Li Heng strongly insisted, but Yang Guozhong and Chen Xilie couldn't stop him again and again.

However, less than two days after Li Heng's edict was issued, the news of Longshuo's victory from the hometown of Tuyuhun spread to Chang'an again!

"Good news! After the great victory in Shancheng, Zhang Xuan, the governor of Longshuo, led an army of [-] to pursue the remnants of Tubo and invaded Tubo. They invaded three cities in Tubo, broke down several enemy fortresses, and defeated more than [-] Tubo defenders..."

"Great news! Zhang Xuan, the governor of Longshuo, led his army to conquer the hometown of Tuyuhun, and included the hometown of Tuyuhun with a radius of [-] li into our territory of the Tang Dynasty!"

"Great news! Longshuo's army defeated Tubo and made immortal feats in opening up the territory!"

The Longshuo army soldiers galloped across Zhuque Street to report the news, and the earth-shattering news immediately made Chang'an City boil.

In the confrontation with the Tubo people, Datang has not had a big advantage for decades, let alone occupying Tubo territory.However, Zhang Xuan first defeated Tubo first, and then made a surprise attack on Tubo, winning consecutive victories, and even directly took down the former land of Tuyuhun, which was hundreds of miles away, and included it in the imperial court... It aroused the national self-confidence and pride of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

When Li Heng got the news, he was taking a nap in Xingqing Palace.

Hearing the news, he was shocked all over, suddenly burst into laughter with ecstasy, rushed out of the study, and ran around the square in a loss of composure.

As the prince of Jian Guo, he was about to ascend the throne. At this moment, Zhang Xuan suddenly sent this great gift!
This is a breakthrough!Defeating the Tubo army and horses, directly occupying the hometown of Tuyuhun, and bringing the territory with a radius of [-] miles into the territory - something that his father, Emperor Li Longji, could not do, he Li Heng did!
"Quickly pass that Yang Guozhong, Chen Xilie, Chen Xuanli, Zhang Jiyong and others will enter the palace to meet you." Li Heng waved his hands with a smile, and told the little eunuch to hurry and call Yang Guozhong and others into the palace.

The little eunuch respectfully accepted the order, and was about to leave when Li Heng said excitedly, "Forget it, don't tell them to enter the palace, quickly call all civil and military officials, and hold a grand court meeting in Linde Palace!"

The little eunuch left in a hurry, and Li Heng's mind gradually calmed down.

His face suddenly changed, and he remembered an edict he issued two days ago.Thinking of this, Li Heng frowned, knowing that he had made a huge mistake.

If this edict is passed to Zhang Xuan in Longshuo, it will be really bad... Zhang Xuan has no dissent in the first place, but he will be stimulated by this edict.

Thinking of this, Li Heng couldn't help cursing Li Fuguo.If it weren't for Li Fuguo's repeated secret reports, he would not have "misunderstood" Zhang Xuan.

In fact, is this really a "misunderstanding"?Probably only Li Heng himself knows.

Li Heng suddenly slapped the table and shouted, "Come here!"

Another little eunuch hurried in and knelt down on the ground, "Your Highness!"

"You send people to hurry up and stop the eunuch Zheng Hui who was sent to Longshuo two days ago! Order him to return to Chang'an immediately, and the edict will be invalidated! If you can't catch up with Zheng Hui on the way, go straight to Ling Zhou, don't let the imperial edict reach Zhang Xuan's hands!"

……

……

Jade Zhenguan.

Li Bai pushed open the gate and ran in, laughing wildly all the way.

Princess Yuzhen Li Chiying stood at the end of the corridor, stopped Li Bai, and said angrily, "Why is your lord so unrestrained, and let the servants see the joke!"

Li Bai laughed loudly, "Lady, Longshuo has won a great victory, and Longshuo has delivered another victory report, which is gratifying and congratulatory!"

"Zhang Xuan led his army to invade Tubo, captured the Tubo city in Tubo territory, burned the Tubo granary and military fortress, and wiped out more than ten thousand people in Tubo... This is not over yet, Zhang Xuan actually led the army to take the old place of Tuyuhun, and went straight into our country. Great Tang territory!"

"What a Zhang Xuan! The talent of the sky, the talent of the sky, Wen Neng, An Bang, Wu Neng, Li Bai is ashamed of himself!"

"Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, this is the first time that our dynasty has opened up the territory! The defeat of the Tubo army and horses has greatly increased the majesty of our Tang Dynasty! The hometown of Tuyuhun, which is hundreds of miles away, has entered our territory. How can it not be exciting Encourage!"

"Come here, I will serve you with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and I want to sing poems to celebrate!"

Seeing Li Bai's excited look, Li Chiying smiled and shook his head.She also learned about Zhang Xuan's news of the good news, and she was emotional for a long time just now.

The maid hurriedly brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Li Bai held the pen down, but just as he was about to recite a good sentence, he suddenly gave up the pen and let out a long sigh.

"Why didn't you write it again, Mr. Lang? For the great victory in Longshuo, Mr. Lang should compose a poem, and it will become a swan song!" Li Chiying said softly.

"I am ashamed. I have great ambitions, but I am unable to serve the country. It is said that a scholar is useless, but how can Zhang Xuan, a scholar, make contributions? My lady, I want to join the army and go to Longshuo to seek a job! "

Li Bai got up suddenly, with a firm expression on his face.
