Chapter 119 Traveling Thousands of Miles Slowly

Cong Canglanhu came out of the tent with a big smile when he learned that the guard who rushed to Kucha was Li Jin, King of Shu.They were on their way to Kucha, which was only about ten days away.

"Zanpu, this Li Jin has nothing to commend him other than being the King of Shu. It's just that he quelled a few native rebellions in South Vietnam, so it's not a big deal." This person is considered talented and famous, but for some reason he took refuge in Tubo.

"So I said you are gone." Cong Canglanhu looked in the direction of Qiuci from a distance, and said, "Lang Huai didn't come to defend the city in person? Did you send someone to investigate?"

"I have already sent people to go." Bu Yang said without changing his expression, "Except for the Duke of Qi, none of the generals who can be used in the court today is enough to be alone. But Duke Qi is old and has insufficient energy. Now it is the unification of Zanpu The best time for the Western Regions." Bu Yang hesitated for a moment, but said straightforwardly: "However, these days Zanpu's actions are too ruthless, which will inevitably hurt the harmony of the world. I didn't think..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cong Canglanhu: "What kind of waves can those royal families make? If there is trouble again, let's kill them and see who dares to act rashly?" In the past six months, Cong Canglanhu came secretly In the Western Regions, a secret killing bureau was arranged, not only taking advantage of the time when Xue Hua ordered the guards of the cities to report the military situation and receive payment at the end of the spring, and almost wiped out the generals of the four towns in Anxi at the cost of hundreds of dead soldiers, but also took advantage of the strength of the army. More than half of the royal families of the Western Regions slaughtered, and the rest had to linger on and submit to Cong Canglanhu.

Then he swept across the Western Regions, plundered huge wealth, and got more and more cities and women.This made Cong Canglanhu even more ambitious, and directed his army towards the last isolated city among the four towns - Qiuci.

Among the four towns in Anxi, Qiuci is not the largest city, but because it is the only way to go east to Chang'an, it has the largest flow of people.The guard Wang Yi'an was originally the deputy general of Zhengxi Army, and he also died in the assassination of Shule City.

Cong Canglanhu originally thought that he could take down Kucha as quickly as he attacked Suiye in Khotan, and then drive straight in and kill the hinterland of Hexi.After capturing Hexi, with sufficient horse sources, he can also recuperate, build a powerful cavalry, and then enter the Central Plains.

Unexpectedly, he gnawed on a hard bone.

Wei Qianyi sent his troops to help.Because of his status as the prince of the state, all the people in Qiuci wholeheartedly regarded him as the leader, and the panic scene of Suiye in Khotan was no longer there.

Just under the city of Kucha, Wei Qianyi taught the complacent Cong Canglanhu a hard lesson.

This veteran is old and strong, and he personally led a team of cavalry to fight for his carefully cultivated Mo Dao battalion, and killed Cong Cang Lanhu's vanguard fine cavalry. He was cut in half and died.

Datang's true fighting power was brought into full play in this battle, so that when Cong Canglanhu arrived at the front of the formation, he had to withdraw his troops and temporarily avoid the edge.

He put away his petty thoughts and considered what Gucheng had told him before he left - if Kucha does not go down, the guard will be the Duke of Qi, so he might as well consolidate the three cities, and then plan a bigger plan.

Although Cong Canglanhu was convinced of Gucheng, he was not reconciled in the end. He stormed for half a decade, and after paying a heavy price of [-] soldiers, he had to admit that for the time being, Kucha would not pass.

Leading the army back, Cong Canglanhu looked at the high wall of Kucha in the distance. In the near future, he will definitely make a comeback.At that time, it was not just 3 people.He doesn't believe he can't eat this lonely city!

On New Year's Eve, there was still the sound of exciting training in the camp outside Dunhuang City.

The news that Xue Hua and other generals were assassinated and killed has been confirmed. Before the Zhengxi Army had time to pay their respects, there was an urgent funeral report eight hundred miles from Chang'an-the Emperor Ming passed away on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month.

"Master, it's late, let's go back." After the tour of the city, Lang Huai was in a daze on the east gate of Qiuci, he was still unwilling to move, Zhu Jun had to go forward and say a few words.

Lang Huai was wearing a heavy cloak, and his face was calm, but he was Mingda who was worried thousands of miles away.

On the day Lang Shixin died of illness, Mingda stayed with her for a whole night in Yong'an Hall.It was the only source of light in her depleted heart.

What's more, Mingda and Minghuang have a deep love between father and daughter.Thousands of miles away, Lang Huai could also feel the helplessness and distress of his sweetheart at this moment.

I really want to return thousands of miles away in one day.

Lang Huai was wandering in his mind, but was interrupted by Mr. Zhu.She shook her head and fought for a while before lifting her foot to leave.

As soon as Fang entered the door, Tao Jun brought Shang Yan into the room.Lang Huai knew there was something important to do, so he signaled Mr. Zhu to keep an eye on the door with his eyes, then shook the snow off his shoulders, and said, "Sit down."

Shang Yan followed Tao Jun's address and asked "Master" before taking a seat next to him.He is a barbarian, and it is the best way to haunt Anxi at this time, he is more deceptive than the Han people.So Lang Huai was sent by Lang Huai to contact the nails everywhere to investigate the news from the Western Regions.

"Master, I brought back a person to meet you." Shang Yan went straight to him and said, "This person is from the royal family of Loulan, who is asking for help from the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the 36 countries in the Western Regions."

Only then did Lang Huai really win Li Si, and asked, "Who is from Loulan? How did he escape?"

"Master Hui, it's Loulan's eldest princess, Princess Anmu. This princess happened to sneak out of the palace to play, and it was her maid who was raped and killed after being caught by her. Then she changed her appearance and kept hiding. Some time ago Somedays, our nails discovered that there were suspicious people hanging around outside the Shule City Lord’s Mansion where the royal families of various countries were imprisoned, so we arrested them.” Shang Yan spoke slowly, and Lang Huai waited quietly for the next article.

"She knew that we were from Tang Dynasty, so she asked to bring her to see the coach." Shang Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Master, her identity has been checked, and there is no doubt about it."

Lang Huai pursed his lips and said nothing, thought for a while and asked, "Where is the man?"

"It's just outside the courtyard."

"Please come in."

Princess Anmu is a bright pearl in the Western Regions, and the number one beauty in the hearts of countless young men.The young king of the Yueshi Zeng Xu Wanjin, and the three cities of the Yueshi, proposed to King Loulan, and made the princess famous in the Western Regions.With a talented man and a beautiful appearance, King Loulan naturally agreed.For this matter, Lang Shixin also participated in the engagement banquet of the two at the beginning to express that Datang was happy to see the result.

But there was an unforeseen event, and King Yuezhi died of illness before he got married.The successor was the king's brother, who wanted to continue the marriage contract.But Princess Anmu despises the new king and is determined not to marry.

The King of Loulan also loved An Mu very much, so he let her go.Princess Anmu is even more like a fish in water, traveling around the countries of the Western Regions.She is charitable, generous, and maintains a good relationship with nobles from all over the world, and is very popular.

Someone once joked that this princess was waiting for Emperor Ming to betroth her to a prince of Datang.But after all, it was just a joke, she was a few years older than Lang Huai, and now she was alone, her home country was gone, but she didn't know what Yi Ren was thinking?

Those who stride in are like sand foxes in the desert, with light and agile steps, hiding amazing explosive power.Princess An Mu was wearing a coarse cotton coat, and the leather boots on her feet were also damaged.Her hair was disheveled, and she looked a bit embarrassed, and her face was covered with mud as a disguise, so she couldn't see her true colors.

After adding two more candles, Lang Huai invited Princess An Mu, who was kneeling and saluting, to sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals, and said: "Everything is for now, let's fill our stomachs first."

An Mu looked at the thin young general in front of him, a little suspicious, worried whether he had found the wrong person.But her belly was burning, so she obeyed the master's words, took the spoon that Lang Huai specially handed over, and dealt with the dishes in front of her like a storm.

The long-term tasteless taste makes the ordinary four dishes and two soups like the best in the world.An Mu just ate the fragrant and soft naan, and didn't even bother to say anything.

Tao Jun, the waiter, covered her smile and added another bowl of chicken soup for her.

Lang Huai didn't have much appetite, so he was full soon.She took the tea bowl and slowly sipped it, and when An Mu finally stopped showing the expression of a hungry wolf, she said, "Your Highness, would you like some tea?"

Only then did An Mu realize that he had lost his composure, and his cheeks burned, but fortunately there was a disguise to cover it up.She pretended to be calm and said, "Drink."

The host and the guest returned to the small study room that had been cleared away, and after they were seated, Lang Huaicai asked: "Please forgive me for saying bluntly, the princess has traveled thousands of miles to rescue nobles from all over the world, please send troops from the Tang Dynasty to help you restore the country. "

An Mu's expression froze, and he said, "Naturally."

Lang Huai smiled, and said: "Princess An Mu came all the way east, she should know that our Tang Dynasty has been shrunk to Kucha, and we will not be able to send troops in a short time."

What she said was true, An Mu naturally knew it.But how could An Mu be reconciled to being rejected like this?She straightened her back and said: "The countries in the Western Regions have always regarded the Great Tang as their superior and paid tribute to the court every year. Now that the allies are in trouble, the Great Tang should help them."

How could Lang Huai not understand these high-sounding words?She smiled and said, "Your Highness, why didn't we come to help? But the strength of our troops is huge, and our reinforcements haven't arrived yet." She felt a little hot, pulled down her neckline, and continued: "The four towns of Anxi belong to the Tang Dynasty. This is for the purpose of recovering the four towns and reopening the Silk Road. Your Highness, the Princess, has been exhausted all the way, so I invite you to rest here. When you regain the Western Regions in the future, you will naturally be able to reunite with your family."

Lang Huai showed a tired expression, and said: "It's getting late, Ah Zhu, see off the guests."

An Mu was about to say something, but Mr. Zhu politely invited him out of the house and placed him in the courtyard.

It seems that Lang Huai is very aware of the current situation, and he will definitely not send troops rashly.An Mu sat alone on the simple bed with a sad face.

All her relatives have been arrested, and it has been more than half a year now.The last time she ventured into Shule, she saw that the most prosperous city among the four towns in the past was only ruined walls, and the people were empty.The city lord's mansion where the royal families were imprisoned was not very heavily guarded, which gave An Mu a gap.Seeing that her old father was doing servant work like a slave, she almost gritted her silver teeth, so she couldn't bear it and climbed over the wall to enter.

I wanted to take it slowly, but was discovered by Lang's nails, knocked out and took him back, so we can meet today.Counting the time, three months have passed.

He had to think of a way to get the hard-hearted young general to think more about the various countries, otherwise in the future when the Tang Dynasty subdued the Western Regions, and if he came up with the idea of ​​becoming king, wouldn't the nobles of the various countries be worried?

Princess An Mu left, and Lang Huai called Tao Jun, saying: "Arrange the manpower, and the news that Her Royal Highness is hiding here must not be leaked."

"Don't worry, Lord, everything has been arranged." Tao Jun touched the soup and medicine in the food box at the side, picked it up and handed it over, and said, "Master, the battle cannot be finished in a few days, so you have to spare your life. "

Lang Huai took it with a wry smile and drank it dry, saying: "I'm really worried about Sizi, she doesn't know how sad she is when the Supreme Emperor dies. I really want to go back desperately."

The author has something to say: In the timeline of this book, among the current characters, the third female character who doesn't give in to men just appeared on the stage.

She is Lang Huai's help in pacifying Anxi in the future, so that's all I can spoil.

The next time I should go back to the perspective of Chang'an, Emperor Ming mentioned here that he passed away.There are still many problems left for Seventh Brother Mingda, let's settle them one by one, don't worry.

This time, I have been writing the remaining foreshadowing of the broken gold chapter, how Anxi got into a mess, and how Cong Canglanhu got it down.But why would such a smart person extort money?

Just sauce.
