Tang Xuan

Gucheng mixed in the army, discussed with Lang Huai for a few days, left behind a pure gold command arrow of Cong Canglanhu, and left quietly without even saying any polite words.

That night Lang Huai cleared up his clothes and explained his doubts, but Gu Cheng was really bluffed by her.But how clever she is, when she thinks about it at night when she goes back to her tent, she will notice the difference.In the next few conversations, she deliberately paid attention to see if Lang Huai's Adam's apple was protruding like a man.

But Gucheng forgot that this is a military camp, not to mention that the weather is getting colder, Lang Huaisu puts a heavy emphasis on military appearance, and naturally takes the lead, always lightly armored and cavalry.Gu Cheng carefully recalled that Lang Huai's neck was indeed a little protruding, but some women were thin and thin, and there were such scenes.Lang Huai's voice was deep and deep, and her voice was as loud as a blow, and she was both male and female, so it cannot be concluded that she was disguised as a man.

If she is really a woman, then this kind of scheming and demeanor can also be her ally.Gu Cheng pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head from the camel's back, his eyes fluttered, and said to Lang Shixuan behind him: "I heard that Mu Gong was born in a foreign house because he was not favored. Is this really not a rumor?"

Lang Shixuan didn't understand why Gucheng asked this question, but he nodded and said: "Wei Shi was afraid of heat, so he moved out of Mu Gong's mansion in March and April, and lived in another courtyard until A Huai was born. She is also very stubborn. Yes, the first emperor decreed that Duke Mu would be the heir, so he moved back. In those years, the officials were practicing in various places. I only remember that Ahuai was mature when she was young, and she was not as innocent as the children of the other family. In fact, the eldest brother gradually fell in love with her. , after all, he is talented and hard-working.”

Seeing Gucheng's pensive look, he continued to tell what he knew, saying: "Actually, elder brother is weak, and he led the troops to the expedition. He mostly planned strategies and would not go to the battlefield in person. But at that time he brought Ah Huai, everyone else said that this was Pei Shijin's slander, but it was actually the child who asked for it."

"Brother has always been afraid that after he left, no one would be able to rule Anxi. Seeing that Ah Huai killed the enemy step by step from the vanguard battalion and stood out by virtue of his military exploits, he was more determined to cultivate him."

With a smile in Gu Cheng's eyes, he said: "So it is. Mo Dao Cong Cang Lanhu once wrote a letter to his elder brother, hoping to kill Lang Huai. If Xue Hua died, if there is no one to clean up the mess, wouldn't he have won?"

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, he no longer cared whether Lang Huai was male or female.She wants to be an empress-like figure whose name will last forever, so as long as she can help her succeed, who cares whether it is all Buddhas or monsters, let alone a mere man?If she was really a woman, with such a handle, she would not be afraid that she would turn to support Long Erxun, the greatest threat to her claiming the title of Tubo now.

The army stepped up their trek and finally arrived at their destination.

Long Erxun was ready to go, wearing ordinary low-level Tibetan military uniform, and his horse was replaced by an inferior horse.Behind him was led by An Mu, and the soldiers selected from the camps of various countries were all from the Western Regions.

Lang Huai didn't say much, and handed the arrow to An Mu, saying: "After the matter is completed, send out fireworks as soon as possible."

An Mu put it in his arms solemnly, and Long Erxun smiled casually: "Although there is only [-]% certainty, but if it doesn't work, Duke Mu, please attack by force. Since Long Erxun seeks revenge, he is not afraid of death."

Lang Huai didn't say much. He took the brocade box from Tao Jun, handed it to Long Erxun, and said, "My men risked their lives to bring it back from Tibet. You can see if it's useful."

Long Erxun lifted the lid in doubt, opened his eyes suddenly, and laughed loudly: "If there is this thing, I am [-]% sure! Tonight I will set fire to the west gate to cause chaos, but please let Mu Gong get the warning. , Break through the city quickly!"

Lang Huai nodded indifferently, took a step back, cupped his hands and said: "If Xunzhou wins the battle, you are the first to contribute. I will write a letter to Your Majesty after the battle. Although you are not citizens of the Tang Dynasty, you can also receive the military merits of the Tang Dynasty. To be promoted to rank!"

An Mu and Long Erxun naturally didn't take it seriously, but those ordinary soldiers were gearing up.Long Erxun understood that although An Mu was called the deputy, she was actually the commander of the pedestrians, so he got on the horse and waited for An Mu to wave his whip before he was the second to follow.

Dozens of people quickly ran away without a trace. Lang Huai looked at the sky and said to Lu Laosan: "Order down, triple the number of patrols, and we must not be found by Xunzhou. Third brother, tonight's raid, we will It's all up to you."

Lu Laosan rubbed his gray beard and nodded solemnly.Whether Xunzhou can be successfully conquered depends on whether Lin Xian's lone army died in vain.He can be the commander in chief and take on major responsibilities.

Long Erxun and others came ten feet away from Xunzhou city, reined in their horses and stopped.Sure enough, the defenders on the city asked loudly, "Who is here?"

Long Erxun took off his leather cap, took out the golden arrow from his arms, and replied: "I am Xun Long who replaced Shi Tila beside Zanpu! The great Zanpu has led the army to conquer Kucha! Shi Tila fought bravely, Seriously injured. Zanpu ordered me to come to Xunzhou to report the news, let me in quickly!"

The people in the city told the general here with joy, and sent people out of the city, and saw that it was indeed one of the three arrows that Cong Canglanhu specially ordered people to forge in Persia, and it would definitely not be a fake. and took them into the city.

Relying on his own knowledge of the Tibetan army, Long Erxun woven a perfect lie with his eloquence.Those individuals were overjoyed, and according to the military order he sent, they ordered the only [-] cavalry in the city to set off with light clothes and rush to Kucha.

These people thought that they would not meet Tang Jun all the way to Kucha, so they took a shortcut and entered the remaining veins of Congling, intending to walk through it, avoiding the hard work of detours.When they all went in, they were naturally slaughtered by Lang Huai who was ambushing here, leaving no one alive.

Tao Jun withdrew from the battlefield and said to Lang Huai, "Master, we're done here. I ordered someone to gather up the corpse and burn it?"

Lang Huai did not end, and supervised the battle with Ming Da on the mountain.She looked at the west casually, and said: "Leave [-] people, burn it tomorrow, and follow up."

"Yes!" Tao Jun took the order and left, Lang Huai took Ming Da's hand and said, "Tonight, it's up to third brother."

At three o'clock in the ugly hour, fires broke out in several places in the west of Xunzhou City, but there was another place where grain and grass were piled up.No one saw it, a firework slowly lifted into the sky, silently.

Longerxun Anmu and others took advantage of the chaos to meet at the agreed place, and the two of them remained silent, before anyone in the city noticed, they touched the east gate.The fire at the west gate was too intense, and there were only a few hundred defenders left here, and they all rushed to put out the fire.An Mu made a gesture, and the thirty or so people immediately dispersed and rushed towards the defenders below the city.After a while, only a few muffled noises were heard, and the people in the city noticed it and shouted: "What's going on!"

Long Erxun replied carelessly in Tibetan: "I fell asleep and stumbled."

The people in the city scolded the lazy guy, and their suspicions disappeared.However, he heard the sound of horseshoes again, so he hurriedly leaned over the city wall to look. With the help of the stars and the moon, he saw countless cavalry galloping from the east, less than five miles away from the city.He shouted in horror: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Now the east gate defender has the highest military rank with him, he pulled the horse onto the horse and said, "I'll report it!"

Long Erxun saw all these changes, pretended to be panicked, waited for the man to leave, and then called everyone to do it together, and opened the city gate.

When the people in the city realized something was wrong, Lu Laosan's men and horses had already sharpened their knives and rushed into the city.

The battle lasted less than two hours, and it was over.Lu Laosan captured the general of Xunzhou city alive, and most of the Tubo soldiers were killed by the rampant Tang cavalry without even holding their weapons.More than [-] Tibetan soldiers were captured, and they were temporarily disarmed and detained in the south of the city.

Not long after, Lang Huai's troops also rushed outside the city.Seeing Lu Laosan's tower-like body, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's done!"

With joy on their faces, they finally join forces.Mingda was forced by Lang Huai to rest, but she herself stood on the tower to observe the terrain carefully, thinking about what should happen next.

Long Erxun went up to the tower, found Lang Huai, handed back the golden arrow, and said, "Uncle Lun Tong lost to you, Tubo lost to Khotan, it really is a loss of wisdom."

Lang Huai took the golden arrow and said, "I will know what you want, but I will not agree."

Long Erxun couldn't bear it, and said: "There are some old troops of the father, if the lobbying is successful, I would like to guarantee them, why not let us have more troops?"

Lang Huaimian said: "What guarantee do you take? Although Cong Canglanhu retreated from Qiuci and met Lin Xian's troops, he could keep at least half of his 2 troops. The general now has less than [-] people, leaving it to Cong Canglan Hu, will you kill my Tang soldiers again in the future?"

Long Erxun wanted to cultivate power for himself in his own heart, but he also knew that Lang Huai's words were true, so he said in a blink of an eye, "Don't you Han people always say that killing and surrendering is inauspicious?"

Lang Huai snorted, and said, "Why did I never realize that you are such a womanly benevolence?"

She didn't want to say much, turned around and walked down the city wall, whispering a few words to Lu Laosan who rushed over.Lu Laosan's face turned pale, and he asked, "Ah Huai? Does it have to be like this?"

Seeing Lang Huai nodding his head silently, Lu Laosan rubbed his hands and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with killing an enemy on the battlefield. But this is a surrender. If it is reported back to Chang'an, it will give you a bad reputation."

Lang Huai snorted through his nose for the rest of his life, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's better than falling short! Third brother, we won't defend Xunzhou, save these people for Cong Canglanhu to save, and we will be the ones who will be killed in the future!" "

"You also agree to abandon the city? That's good." Lu Laosan scratched his messy hair, waited and waited, but did not get the news of Lang Huai's resignation, so he could only leave with a sigh.

More than ten thousand lives!

He didn't even change his complexion, just like Lang Shixin cheated people back then, he really is father and son.

Lu Laosan walked far away, Lang Huai turned the corner of the street and entered a dilapidated alley, with only Mr. Zhu at his side.Only then did she close her eyes in pain, leaning against the wall and muttering, not knowing what to read.

Mr. Zhu looked at her two steps away, with tears in his eyes, but he knew that he couldn't go up to persuade her at this time.

All she can do is accompany her like this.

At the end of August in the first year of Zhicheng, the Pingxi Army outwitted Xunzhou and captured more than [-] enemies.

From time to time, a deputy general admonished him for his inhumanity, but Duke Mu still ordered him to be killed. The corpses were piled up seven miles east of the state, and the fire did not go out for half a month.

The first emperor of the Tang Dynasty was killed and surrendered, and the censor continued to impeach him, and Emperor Zhao didn't ask.
