Tang Xuan

Arrived in Dunhuang at night in the middle of the winter month.

The stars are dim, reflecting the heavy snowflakes dancing in the wind, giving rise to a sense of uncertainty about the way forward.

The former army of [-] had already arrived under the leadership of Lin Da.Those who arrived tonight were the Chinese Army under Lang Huai's account and the Vanguard Battalion under Li Jin's command.It was Li Jin who went to the city gate to check the talisman, but Lang Huai did not show up.

Although the city of Dunhuang is tall, it is not a huge city like Chang'an.There are only a few thousand soldiers who can camp in the city, and most of the rest are camped in camps outside the city that have already been divided.

When Yang Jisheng, the Jiedu envoy of Hezhou, welcomed Lang Huai's car into the mansion, he suddenly realized why it was Li Jin who checked the talisman-the great general was so sick that he could hardly get off the ground!

Yang Jisheng didn't dare to delay, he personally led the way and sent the person to a secluded small courtyard. He was about to invite a famous doctor, but was interrupted by Lang Huai's servant.

"Your Majesty Yang, you are welcome. I am proficient in medical science, and I have always taken care of my ailments. This time, it looks like a menacing attack, but it is caused by a lack of medical treatment and bumpy roads. As long as you have all the medicinal materials here, there will be no problem." I'm not in the way." Tao Jun had a humble attitude, said a few words briefly, and then said: "My Lord ordered that the news of her illness should not be leaked, so as not to disturb the morale of the army."

Mu Gonglang is pregnant with his youthful ambitions, and there is a young eunuch by his side, who is her confidant who has followed her since childhood, and everyone in the official circle knows about it.Yang Jisheng felt relieved, bowed and said, "Since that's the case, please take care of yourself. Whether Mr. Mu is healthy or not is really related to the fate of the country, so you can't be careless."

Tao Jun said: "Small ones naturally do their best."

After sending Yang Jisheng away, Tao Jun opened the door and hung in.Lang Huai had a high fever this time, which had lasted for more than ten days.These two days are especially serious, and few people are sober.

Sure enough, when he entered the room, Mr. Zhu was sitting in front of the bed and changing the veil on Lang Huai's forehead.She turned her head to look at Tao Jun and said, "It's been half a month, what should I do?"

Tao Jun stepped forward to feel his pulse, shook his head and said, "The bloody battle in the palace still hurt the lung meridian after all, and the journey was so bumpy. Who cares about the important affairs of the military plane? The illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like a silk thread." ah!"

Mr. Zhu touched Lang Huai's still-hot neck, and spat: "Don't be so talkative! I just ask you, when will the fever go away?"

"Now that the medicinal materials are complete, it will take another two or three days." Tao Jun took Lang Huai's pulse again, and secretly rejoiced that he had managed well this year, and that the shortfall in the inside was gradually made up.But he also thought of the chaos in the Western Regions now, and knew that his master was busy, so he could only plan silently, and he had to prepare the medicinal materials and make plans early.In the future, it is better to follow her when marching, and to take care of her at any time, so that people can rest assured.

The Pingxi army came in silence, and it was not until two days later that the herald informed the generals of the three armies at all levels to gather at the Jiedu envoy's mansion.

Lang Huai receded slightly from his illness, and sat upright in a purple robe.After everyone was assembled, he put down the stove to warm his hands, coughed lightly and said, "It's been a long march, thank you for your hard work."

Everyone present didn't make a sound, waiting for the young general's next article.Lang Huai was ordered in the face of danger, but according to the news from Chang'an, Emperor Ming had ordered Li Yu to be the king of Boshan County.Both the master and the general are young, and they all have no idea.There are too many young generals to enumerate, but there are really not many who really shine in the annals of history.I don't know if Lang Huai will be on the list.

Before I knew it, it was almost the twelfth lunar month, and the enthronement ceremony had already been held. After next month, it would be the year of Zhicheng.

"Since I have obtained the imperial order, I will naturally calm down Anxi and die." Lang Huai's expression was light, and he couldn't help taking a breath before continuing: "It's the middle of winter, please restrain the officers and soldiers of the battalions and step up the drill. If Anyone who disobeys military discipline will be killed without mercy."

What she said was plain, but the last three words of "killing no mercy" still made people feel the slightest bit of murderous intent.Those lower-level school officials who were a little contemptuous also corrected their expressions.He also heard Lang Huai say some prohibited words, and left the generals of the fifth rank alone, and the rest went back to their stations.

Soon there were only thirty or forty people left.

Lang Huai made a little calculation in his heart, this time in Pingxi, the military system was completely in accordance with Lang Shixin's deployment of each army, but there were inevitably some shortcomings in the haste.Lang Huai has tried his best to adjust this way, and now he can barely see it.

"You are all veterans, and Xiao Ban also fought with my father." Lang Huai cupped his hands and paused before saying, "Everyone understands that this situation is really difficult."

"The vanguard battalion has the most complete system. Although the six kings are new generals, I will trust the six kings." Lang Huai talked about such a sensitive topic for the first time, without shy away: "I will hand over all the tigers to you. Three days later , the vanguard battalion sent Kucha."

Li Jin half-kneeled to receive the Tiger Talisman, and said loudly: "Decree! I will protect the peace of Kucha!"

"I don't seek meritorious service this time, but seek no faults." Lang Huai said with a serious face, "I would have sent twenty teams of scouts to follow your soldiers, in order to deceive others."

"All armies in the front, back, left, and right sides have perfected their military systems, so they can practice well." Lang Huai looked at Lu Laosan who was eager to try, and said with a smile: "The three armies will go first before using food and grass. Although food and grass are not in short supply, our eyes are dimmed, and there is no way to fight." A prepared battle? This is not going to happen."

"General, twenty scouts might not be enough." Lin Da said worriedly, "Xue Shuai and the others... Cong Canglanhu are ambitious, so I'm afraid they will wait for our private soldiers to catch them all in one go."

Lang Huai nodded, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I have sent nails to contact the bad guy Anxi, the chief official of Tubo, and I think there should be news in a few days. But now is not the time for us to be anxious, please rest assured Don't be impatient."

She only felt that her headache was about to split, she tried her best to hold on, and said: "Master Yang also said that Duke Qi will personally sit in Kucha, and he will return after about six people arrive."

"Yes, Duke Qi sent a letter the day before yesterday, saying that almost all the countries in the Western Regions had to surrender to Cong Canglanhu. In the past few months, Cong Canglanhu has plundered wantonly, and the people are full of resentment. It is only recently that he has calmed down a little, and he is dispatching troops. He intends to get his hands on Qiucha again." Yang Jisheng pinched his three-clump beard, and continued: "Duke Qi has only [-] troops, it was not easy to attack and protect Qiucha back then, and we are urgently waiting for help. Now that His Royal Highness Six Kings is helping us, we should It can solve the urgent need."

Lang Huai looked at the generals with different expressions, most of them also participated in the battle to conquer the west eight years ago.She remained calm and said: "Make sure to send aid, find out the situation in the Western Regions, contact the royal families of the various countries, and wait for the arrival of the rear army. I would like to work together with you to help my Tang Dynasty."

These few words are the way she came up with along the way.But apart from the rear army, how to fight, how to touch, how to contact, now I can't do anything!

On the sixth day of November in the 34th year of Kaiyang, the enthronement ceremony was held in Zichen Hall.Li Yu, the king of Boshan County, became the new master of the Tang Empire, and announced that he would be changed to Yuan Zhicheng the next year, and he was known as Tang Zhaozong in history.

And Ming Huang, the creator of the prosperous age, lived in secluded Linde Palace since then, refusing to take a step outside the palace.

The undercurrent in Chang'an City is raging.In the past, King Huai had too many party members, especially Zhang Quan, the Jiedu envoy of Yizhou.If this person raises the rebellious flag again, Datang will fall into internal strife and external worries.

Because of the disappearance of bad handsome Yuan Xuanhong, Datang lost his most astute ears.In desperation, Mingda had no choice but to take the risk of exposing Lang's nails, and sent the newly returned news into the palace continuously.

Zhang Quan has already started Chen Bing. If the South Shu Road separates from the Tang Dynasty and becomes a country within a country, the northwest and southwest will be in poverty from then on.All the courtiers were at a loss, and Li Yu couldn't sleep for several nights. He was almost jumping in anxiety because of his first worry after he ascended the throne.

At this moment, Tang Feiyan knocked on the door of Weiyang Residence with someone.Mingda has been accompanying Emperor Ming in the Linde Palace these days, helping Li Yu with government affairs, the guards did not dare to delay, so they hurriedly invited Shang Zixuan to come forward.

It was still quiet in the study outside.After the turmoil subsided, that Hou Fu had become the new Taishi Ling.

Shang Zixuan ordered Shang Yan to serve tea, and said to Tang Feiyan: "Don't be cautious, Minister Tang, Ah Huai often mentions you."

This woman showed a mature charm that Tang Feiyan had never seen before, but she had an unbelievable air of book, and she was a bit hearty.Tang Feiyan suddenly remembered that this was Shangguan Hong's eldest daughter, and hurriedly said, "Miss, you are welcome."

Gossiping again, Shang Zixuan glanced at a young gentleman sitting beside him, and said, "Who is this?"

Tang Feiyan pulled the brocade-clothed young master and said with a smile: "Miss Shang, I'm here to relieve the urgent needs of the young lady."

The one who followed Tang Feiyan was Zhang Anren.Since Tan Hualang entered the Hanlin Academy, he no longer had a close relationship with Li Qian, and concentrated on writing books.It wasn't until Li Qian's rebellion that Zhang Anren was flustered.

Naturally, his father has always supported Li Qian, which is hardly a secret in the entire Shunan Road.However, since Li Qian was defeated and killed, and Chang'an City's operation for many years was almost uprooted, Zhang Quan's situation was in jeopardy.

Zhang Anren is just a little bit high-minded, but he doesn't quite agree with his father's approach.At this juncture, he had no choice but to stay home and think about it for a long time.

He was talented and intelligent. He could read and write at the age of five and recite poems at the age of seven. He also had no obstacles in the way of the imperial examination.But every time he thinks of another person, Zhang Anren feels that he must be jealous.

Yes, he is jealous of Lang Huai.

Jealous of her background even more than his own, and also jealous of this person who has repeatedly made military exploits in the battlefield at a young age.Now it has even sent troops to Dunhuang, becoming the new mainstay of the empire.

Amidst the beautiful words, Zhang Anren thought of his father's troubles, and thought of the past twenty years, Tanhualang seemed to have become a joke.

A reckless man like her can stand up and turn the tide, so why can't I make great achievements even though I study the sage books harder?

After learning from the pain, Zhang Anren's mind was clear, and he first went to Tang Feiyan, whom he had some friendship with, to explain his position and purpose of coming.

Tang Feiyan didn't dare to be careless, and decided to come to Weiyang Residence for discussion first.Then there is something just now.

"Hanlin is willing to return to Yizhou to dissuade Zhang Quan?" Shang Zixuan underestimated the sincerity of this person, but with doubts in his words, he said: "Hanlin please forgive me, it is His Majesty's favor that you were not convicted. Is this a move? Isn't it your plan to escape?"

Zhang Anren's face was flushed red, and his sentences were not fluent: "This girl spouts blood!"

Tang Feiyan knew that Shang Zixuan was stabbing Anren, so he hurriedly smoothed things over and said: "Brother Zhang, if he wanted to escape, he should have left long ago, so why wait until now? If we can quell the chaos without using weapons, wouldn't Miss Shang not be tempted? "

Zhang Anren turned cold, and said: "Girl, I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Mrs. Mu, but I have no selfishness in this matter. I am willing to persuade daddy, and say something that shouldn't be said, Duke Huai is dead. If Your Majesty doesn't force it, Dad won't do it either."
