Tang Xuan

Chapter 151: Before the Qing Temple

As early as when Lin Xian hung his corpse outside Dale Gate, Lang Huai had already thought of taking advantage of the disease caused by the decay of the corpse to recover Shule.

During this period of time, she ordered Tao Jun to find a hidden place and collect the dead bodies on the battlefield. No matter where they belonged to, they piled up all the corpses in one place, used some drugs to stimulate them, and waited quietly for the opportunity.It has been more than a month now, and the place where the corpses are piled up is full of rot and maggots, and the stench is suffocating.After the live cattle and sheep are infected, they will gradually become ill within ten days at most, and there is no cure for them.Lang Huai saw this situation with his own eyes, and knew that the time had come and he could not wait any longer.

She would go there with Tao Jun every few days, and seeing it with her own eyes, naturally she didn't have a good appetite.And Mingda wanted to follow up several times, but was stopped by Lang Huai - she was disgusting enough, why bother Sizi?

The decoction prepared for the epidemic was distributed the next day, and Lang Huai really didn't worry that the epidemic would be infected by the Tang army.What's more, the place she chose to pile up the corpses was originally on a relatively high ground. Now, she only needs to dig two ditches of three or four miles, divert water in, and rush down the corpses.

The only inconvenience is that Tang Jun must go upstream to fetch water.However, the water source of Tang Jun is not only sulfur water, but also can go south to Congling and transport water from Wuhu River.

After planning for many days, Lang Huai confirmed that it was correct after several deduction. On the same day, he ordered Tao Jun to bring his cronies from the Qianfeng Battalion, prepare protective measures, and dig up the last section of the ditch for the corpse.

Tao Jun took the order and went away, Lang Huai sat alone in the chair, with a topographic map of Shule City spread out on the desk, among which the vermilion point on the sulfur water line was the most critical point of this battle.

It's not that she didn't think about attacking from the waterway.

But the sulfur water passes through Shule, not to mention the depth of the water, and the rapid dredging of the water, it is difficult for people to survive in it, so how can we talk about fighting?However, the wells in Shule City are all connected to sulfur water. Once the carrion accumulates in the water, the entire water system under Shule City will be polluted, and there is absolutely no reason for them to survive.As for the impact of the sulfur water flowing down the river through Shule on the coast, Lang Huai could only let it go temporarily, and sent his personal followers to inform the generals everywhere to put some herbs at the water source for precaution.

The plan of accumulating corpses, the effect is very slow, but the effect is huge.It was already the end of June after half of the pile of corpses had been washed away.Lang Huai ordered his cronies to bury and dispose of it carefully, not to be negligent, and to pay attention to future generations who will be affected by the disaster.I went to see the results in person, and then I was half relieved.

Cong Canglanhu didn't get any news from Khotan, but he also saw that the Tang army's barracks had strict discipline and practiced continuously every day, but they refused to take the initiative to attack no matter what.He couldn't help but feel suspicious, and repeatedly ordered Huabura to lead the troops to take the initiative to attack and test things out.But the Tang army resisted with an army formation, shooting arrows and rain, almost no need for hand-to-hand combat, and Huabula had to retreat.

After doing this several times, Cong Canglanhu simply silenced his flags and drums, focused on arranging the city's defense warnings, and stepped up military training and preparations in Shule City.

For a while, the scene was extremely quiet.

In half a month, Tang Jun will be as usual, as stable as Mount Tai.

Lang Huai was in the city every day to deal with the official documents that came in one after another. As she expected, Wang Xiong got the letter of approval, ambushed the elite soldiers in advance, and stood firm in Khotan to let the Tubo return without success.After the Tubo general had to retreat, he rarely took the initiative to lead the army to attack. With the joint efforts of the two sides of the ambush, except for a few fleeing and fleeing, he almost killed all the [-] Tubo troops who came to attack.

The news of this battle spread along with the fleeing Tubo soldiers, and gradually spread to all parts of Anxi.These Tubo soldiers failed to return to Luoxie, so they could only gather together to protect themselves.According to Datang, it means that falling grass becomes banditry.Lang Huai deliberately let them go, and the entangled thousands of people rushed and ran all the way, and were forced to flee in the direction of Sui Ye.In the middle, it was bumped into by a patrol from Tingchang camp, and another battle was fought, and a small number of them fled in the direction of Shule city.

Lang Huai sent the news to Long Erxun when he saw that the Tibetans were playing tricks.According to what Lang Huai said, Long Erxun went to persuade these Tubo people to surrender after they were surrounded by the Tang army.He told them in high spirits that Cong Canglanhu's beastly deeds were not worthy of a real Tibetan warrior's life for him.At the same time, it also proclaimed that Long Erxun, as the most beloved grandson of Rinmo Tsampo, had the right to inherit the Tibetan Zanpu, and that Zanpu should be in his place, not the cruel and heartless Cong Canglanhu.

These people have been on the run for a long time, and they are in constant fear, like dogs that have lost their homes. How can they judge many things?Immediately, they threw away their weapons, knelt on the ground, and worshiped Long Erson as Zanpu.

Long Erxun didn't expect it to be so smooth, he was stunned for a moment, and laughed: "I won't blame you for this. From now on, I will be Dehuang Zanpu, and you follow me to pay for the tragic death of Rinmo Zanpu and the others." To avenge the nobles! I will inherit Rinmo Tsanpo's will, and become brothers with Datang, and the country will be safe and prosperous forever!"

These Tubo people hurriedly knelt down to worship, chanting "Dehuang Zanpu" endlessly.The voice went from being flustered at the beginning to gradually firming up later.Ronson suddenly developed a sense of pride and ambition, and was very complacent.After all, these people were the first batch of Tubo soldiers under his command, which meant a lot to him who had always relied on the protection of the Tang Dynasty.

Bozi Pellema smiled, bowed his hands and saluted, and said with a trace of respect: "Zanpu still has the ambition to pioneer in the face of adversity. I would admire it. In the future, Dehuang Zanpu endured the humiliation and repeated the good name of Guoanmin, and he will definitely be there in the future." It has been passed down in the territory of my Great Tang. The Great Tang and Tubo will always be brothers, and I will be here to congratulate you in advance."

A few words not only showed that since then, Long Er was inferior to Datang, but he was a true ally, and also pointed out that if he wanted to gain the true respect of Datang, he had to make his good name come true.

Long Erxun quickly calmed down, and replied: "General Bo, Long Erxun has repeatedly been helped by the benevolent teachers of the Tang Dynasty, and he will not be like Cong Canglanhu to be that ungrateful person."

Long Erxun's words passed from Bo Zipei's mouth to Lang Huai's ears, only half an hour passed.Lang Huai didn't comment, but ordered Bo Zipei to assign two thousand soldiers of the Gushan Camp to Long Ersun.

"Although he is self-proclaimed Zanpu, in our army, he is an ordinary general with [-] troops and belongs to your Gushan camp. Do you understand?" Lang Huai stared into Bo Zipei's eyes, and saw his solemn expression , Kneeling down to receive the order: "The last general will get the order."

Not long after Bo Zipei left, An Mu came.

During this period of time, she wandered in the hinterland of Shule and Suiye, and learned about the sufferings of the people, and she also had a deeper understanding of the affairs of Loulan after the restoration of the country sent by the messenger.This time, An Mu came here to bid farewell.

"The king is here? Sit down quickly." Lang Huai sincerely admired An Mu's temperament, and said with a smile, "It's only been a month since we last met, so it seems like a lifetime away."

An Mu shook his head and said, "Lang Huai, I still like you to call me An Mu."

"Okay. An Mu, please sit down." Lang Huai poured tea for her with his own hands, saying, "Are you here to say goodbye?"

As if he had expected Lang Huai's foresight, An Mu took the tea bucket, sipped the steaming tea, was silent for a moment, and readily admitted: "Yes, I'm here to say goodbye. Loulan has been rebuilt, and I, as the new king I have to go back. After the catastrophe, the population of Loulan people is low, but most of the soldiers in the camps of various countries are willing to continue to serve in the Tang military camp. Can they stay?"

Lang Huai blinked and said with a smile: "Why not? Half of the officials in my Chang'an city are non-Han. What's more, there are only more than a thousand camps in various countries. How can my Pingxi army not accommodate them? I just have to ask you to leave me a suitable one." General."

"Shang Yan is not bad." An Mu already thought clearly about this question, and immediately answered: "I think he is the only one."

Lang Huaiben was also interested in Shang Yan, so he said, "That's good."

For a while the tent became quiet, Lang Huai felt reluctance in his heart, but he didn't want to show it.An Mu looked at the person in front of him unscrupulously, and saw that her brows and eyes were pale, and there was no worry about parting at all, so she couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.But she remembered the news she heard when she came back, and couldn't help worrying about her.

It has been more than a month since Lang Huai ordered to destroy the city with the method of accumulating corpses. An Mu was not present at the time, and it took a long time before he was sent to the lieutenant general of the Zhu State Camp to learn about it.She knew that Lang Huai's move was really helpless, but she naturally understood a thing or two about the pressure.

"Your method is good, but it's really unreasonable." An Mu said in a low voice, "It hasn't worked out after more than a month, so let's think of another method."

Lang Huai didn't comment, changed his tone, and said relaxedly: "An Mu, when you go back to Loulan, don't forget to promise Sizi Spice."

When Mingda was mentioned, An Mu came to his senses and asked, "Where is she?"

Lang Huai knew that she didn't understand, so he patiently explained: "She is a bad handsome guy from the Tang Dynasty. I have her own affairs, so I can't ask more. But the left and right are in the army, and they will come back at night. Would you like to stay and have dinner together?"

An Mu suddenly felt helpless, and said: "She is so busy, you should help her."

At this moment, Mingda came back, opened the curtain and saw An Mu, and immediately smiled, "Princess An Mu! You're here? How is Suiye City doing? Are you tired from marching all the way?"

The conversation stopped just now, An Mu straightened his mind, and explained the military situation that had not yet been reported in the future, but it was not far from Lang Huai's expectations.There are [-] defenders in Suiye City, which is full of information.Those Tubo people who fled to Suiye were strangled by the general leading an army out of the city, and none of them survived.

But at any rate, seven or eight hundred people were killed, and the news spread like wildfire, and soon spread throughout the Tubo army.Now even business travelers have disappeared from Suiye City, and no outsider is willing to step into Suiye City within a hundred miles.

Lang Huai planned Shule to make Suiye an isolated city in the northwest, laying a solid foundation for the future recovery of Suiye.

This night, a small table was opened in the Chinese military tent, which was not only to welcome An Mu, but also to see him off.

While drinking, a schoolboy begged to see him outside the tent.

Lang Huai got up to go out, and at night, the cold wind suddenly blew away the alcohol smell from her half body.She smiled and said, "I came here in a hurry at night, but I don't see you looking flustered. What good news do you have?"

The school lieutenant half-kneeled, raised his head and said: "The general is so good at predicting things, it's a happy event. Just now there is black smoke in the northwest of Shule City. If you don't touch it close, you can't get out at all."

There was joy in Lang Huai's eyes, and the captain continued: "The smell is very strong, it must be the general's plan to get what he wanted! The Tibetans are disposing of the corpses, and looking at the cigarette butts, hundreds of people must have been burned!"
