Tang Xuan

When Mingda came back, it was past dinner time.Lang Huaiying was in the back room, with a casserole on the stove, Mr. Zhu greeted him and said, "Sit down, girl, I'll serve it right away."

Ming Da hummed, and Lan Jun went to get the clothes to change for her. Ming Da covered his eyelids with a hot handkerchief, and only took it off when the temperature cooled down. He asked in a low voice, "Still the same?"

Lord Zhu sighed, "Yes."

These days, Lang Huai is in good spirits, but his appetite has decreased, and now he has reduced by half compared to before.Mr. Zhu racked his brains to prepare meals, but it was of no use.

The reason behind this is clear to Mingda, she nodded, and said, "I know, go ahead. Sister Lan, tomorrow is still this time."

In the casserole is the hot red bean porridge, served with marinated and refreshing pickles, and smoked pouches, which brightens Mingda's eyes after a tiring day.But when she thought of Lang Huai's plot, her appetite was mostly gone.

Lang Huai came out from the inside, just in time to see her staring at the porridge in a daze, so he couldn't help approaching, tapped the back of Mingda's head with a book, and said softly, "Is there something wrong?"

Mingda was startled, grabbed Lang Huai's arm, leaned into her arms, and sighed: "Lang Shixuan is too familiar with bad people. Although Khotan dealt with them properly, it is difficult for Tubo to get in. Everyone has been thinking for so long. Still helpless."

Sitting beside her, Lang Huai scooped up a ladle of hot porridge, spread pickles on top, blew off the hot air and fed it to Ming Da, saying, "In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible for bad people to infiltrate Tibet to the extent they used to be."

While enjoying Lang Huai's warmth with peace of mind, Mingda motioned her to continue talking.

"Since Gucheng can take my uncle back to her, she must be familiar with the operation of bad people. If you want to rebuild at this time, she will definitely not sit idly by." Lang Huai's subordinates kept talking, and he said it neatly, thinking about it these days. scrutiny.

"Not only that, you have to beware of Gucheng's attack on Anxi Datang. From the four towns to Dunhuang to Chang'an, you have to be careful. If she knows bad people, she can have her own bad people. Although Lang's nails have learned something, But whether it depends on the trade route is still different. And what the mother and the monk sister mean is to take advantage of the current situation, to let go slowly and completely withdraw, so as to protect everyone."

"Nowadays, unscrupulous people should focus on being safe and not trying to advance quickly." Lang Huai slowly expressed her thoughts, and said in a low voice: "This person in Gucheng has a deep city, and I can't guess what she will do in the future." What. The bad people in Tubo want to spill it, but it’s not the same as before. Their silence may last for decades. Si, do you understand?”

Mingda immediately grasped the implication of her words, and said vaguely: "I was deluded, why did I think astray? It's thanks to you. Is that what your nails planned?"

"Ask Tao Jun, where do I have the time to care about this?" Lang Huai was quite proud of seeing her relax, and subconsciously began to eat too.Mingda didn't mention it much, and the two of them chatted some trivial gossips, and before they knew it, it was almost midnight.

After changing into pajamas, Mingda went to look at Firefox, but he was in high spirits.She simply opened the window and said: "Come back on time." She let it go out to play by itself.Firefox is psychic and never leaves the city.What's more, no one in Xunzhou now knows that she has a fiery red fox, which is the pet animal of the girl Li Mingda, named Weiduwei.

The two lay down on the bed, and Ming Dacai said: "It's really according to your plan, Shule City is just around the corner. But this will hurt the harmony of heaven, and I will definitely let those censors participate in the performance. Ah Huai, have you made up your mind? "

"Even if we burn a lot of grain in Shule's granary, if we just besiege the city, it will take a year, and there is nothing we can do about it." Lang Huai secretly sighed: "The Tang Dynasty can't delay it. If it can't be leveled within three or four years, it will definitely It’s changed. Seventh brother is now fully supporting him, even abandoning the East Palace of Hanyuan Palace, how can I waste his trust?” Lang Huai said: “Besides, this year is much hotter than previous years. According to this strategy, the effect will be quick. "

"How are Tao Jun's preparations going?" Ming Da put his arms around Lang's arms and asked in a deep voice, "Although this method is good, it is a double-edged sword. We have to prepare in advance."

"Xiao Tao has been trying, and he said that it will be confirmed in a few days. Let's be prepared. Cong Canglanhu is so cruel, it can be regarded as revenge for them..." Lang Huai lost his disguise, and his voice revealed The gentleness of these women.She closed her eyes with peace of mind, and said, "It's late at night, go to sleep."

Cong Canglanhu had expected the Tang army to revive and mobilize troops to besiege the city.During this period of time, he did not rest. He burned the oasis within a hundred miles outside Shule City to scorched earth, cut off the already small Jiliu River, and planned to make Lang Huai retreat in the face of difficulties, so he had to allow half of the rivers and mountains in the Western Regions.

On May [-]th of the second year of Zhicheng, Tang Jun's slowest reinforcements also rushed from Aksu.Since then, all four sides of Shule City have been besieged by the Tang army, completely cutting off the connection with Sui Yefang, forcing Cong Canglanhu and the Tang army to confront a decisive battle.

If Shule City is broken, broken leaves alone won't last long.Everyone knows this truth, so Cong Canglanhu secretly scolded Lang Huai for not knowing what is good or bad, but he had to cheer up and go to various military affairs every day.He already knew about the fact that Luoxi sent troops to attack Khotan, and the commander-in-chief was one of his confidantes who stayed in Luoqie.Cong Canglanhu was sure of winning, and only waited for the news of the defeat from the rear to make the Tang army mess up. At that time, he led the army out of the city to kill the Quartet.

After several discussions, Cong Canglanhu and Si Mo felt that this battle must be won.Si Mo caressed the map, and said: "Zanpu's plan really made Lang Huai defenseless, now there are only ten thousand defenders in Khotan, and the general Wang Xiong doesn't know much about military affairs, the right time and place, we have taken it all."

"Thanks to Mr. Gucheng's good words, it is also thanks to Gucheng who persuaded me to keep some soldiers and generals who are good at fighting, otherwise I would not be able to use it as an afterthought." Cong Canglanhu was very happy, and said: "Gucheng is really my good helper!"

"As long as Zanpu can't hold on, the consumption of food and grass alone will drag her back. If you lose small places like Aksu, you will lose them. It's not a big deal." Simo pointed at the map, and said: "Stay After this period of time, Tang Jun is no better than us in cold resistance, so it is a good time to attack."

Cong Canglanhu saw that all the points he pointed were fortresses, so he couldn't help being greedy, squinting his eyes and said: "Very good!"

However, what is intriguing is that Tang Jun did not even feign an attack since he besieged the city.The vanguard battalion of the Chinese army is facing the Dalemen where the corpses are hung. Every day, they only hear the drill horns, and even the scouts have never left the camp to inquire.

In the afternoon of this day, all the battalion leaders and generals came to the big tent of the Chinese army.Li Jin also came with his arms hanging, sitting on Lang Huai's right hand, drinking tea with his eyebrows down, not talking much.

When everyone was together, Lang Huai raised his head and got straight to the point.

"Time waits for no one. Within five months, we will be able to overcome Shule."

The generals looked at each other and felt that this was inappropriate.However, Lang Huai did not give them time to ask questions, and continued in a loud voice: "The general planned to attack Shule with poison, and float corpses in sulfur water, leading directly to the city. This summer is hotter than ever. It only takes March. Combat strength. Datang encircles without fighting, without spending a single soldier, and Shule is just around the corner."

Once the plan is made, all the generals will lose their color.

Aside from that, where do so many floating corpses come from?

These generals only wanted to get closer, but Li Jin knew that if Lang Huai risked the world's disgrace, Shule City would be destroyed.But has she escaped the imperial censor's impeachment?Even if Li Yu ignored it, when he returned to the court in the future, it was this one thing, and he would definitely cut off all opportunities for an extreme minister, and no one would dare to go with her.

"General, this move will harm the peace of heaven." Li Jin considered his words: "Besides, with this strategy, our army may also be infected with the disease. This king thinks it is inappropriate."

Lang Huai smiled lightly, knowing Li Jin's good intentions, and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the herbs are already ready. Cong Canglanhu burned the nearby oasis, and our army only needs to go upstream to get water, which can be avoided. Tubo There is no choice but to rely on the sulfur water and the underground river of Qiuci. But the sulfur water flows from west to east, and the water is unstoppable." She looked at the generals with different faces, and said with a smile: "I will bear all my worries. In the future, it will be the responsibility of this general to listen to the heavens."

"General!" Lu Laosan looked excited, and shouted: "I, Lu Laosan, is a rough man, and I will advance and retreat with the general!" How could he not know that if there was another way, how could Lang Huai take this step?He didn't bother to care about others, but he himself, how could Lang Huai take all the responsibility on his shoulders?

"I will invite you here, not to discuss, but to give an order. From now on, no one is allowed to step into the Kucha River Basin without permission. I will arrange the water fetching. This plan is only known to the present, and if it is leaked Disposal by military law." Lang Huai gave the ultimatum and said lightly: "The battalions step up their drills every day to strengthen our army's physique. In addition, strictly prevent our army from contacting Tubo. If there is any contact, all soldiers will be sent to the forward battalion of the Chinese army. He will be healed by the doctor accompanying the army."

Li Jin looked at her with complicated eyes, and finally took the lead and said, "Follow the general's orders."

Leaving the tent of the Chinese army, Li Jin and his lieutenant general Bo Zipei looked at each other, admiring Lang Huai's rock-solid heart.

"Your Highness, if the general uses this trick, it won't be long before Chang'an finds out. For the future, Your Highness..." Li Jin interrupted Bo Zipei before he finished speaking.

"This king knows that she is determined to be a lonely minister." Li Jin shook his head and said, "I don't care about others, and send the letter back, so that the princess will often visit Mrs. Wei in Mu Gong's mansion, and move around frequently."

Bo Zipei was shocked, and persuaded: "Your Highness, at this time..."

"If the king had thought about it earlier, he would have advised to fight like this." Li Jin said surprisingly, "How can we not kill people in war? What is the difference between being beaten to death or dying of illness? The difference is whether we can save Dead point." Seeing Yuchi Yanguang chasing up from behind with a gloomy face, Li Jin understood that this person wanted to persuade Lang Huai by himself, so he hurriedly said, "You dealt with Yuchi for me, I'll take a step first."

"Your Highness..." Before Bo Zipei could say more, Yuchi had already caught up and asked doubtfully, "Your Highness should have seen this general, so why did you just leave without saying a word?"

Bo Zipei's back was sweating, so he could only say: "Your Highness is in a hurry, hurry back."

"Oh." Yuchi Yanguang didn't think much, and said, "Your Highness really agrees with the general's plan?"

"This... the general is just a second-in-command. The orders of the army are prohibited, and the general just obeys." Bo Zipei secretly nodded to Yuchi Yanguang who was suspicious, and shouted with blinking eyes: "General Lu!"

"Huh? Who is my third brother?" Lu Laosan was full of thoughts in front of him, and suddenly heard someone shouting, and subconsciously replied.

"It's me, it's me! The last one practiced. General Lu's formation in the Sword and Ax Battalion is quite exquisite. The last general has long wanted to ask for advice, but he has never had time. Since we met today, I would like to ask General Lu to give me some advice!" Bo Zipei chased on the road. The third child, standing alone while Yuchi Yanguang was standing there, his face was cloudy and uncertain.
