"Tibet is only at the end of its battle, and now our army has come out, and the siege has been completed. Ah Huai, what are your plans?" Wei Qianyi drank hot tea, his slightly gray beard was shaking, and his eyebrows were kind and friendly.

"It's the same as Dad back then, just attack by force. Suiye City is full of soldiers, but there are no more than [-] defenders. It can't stand it." Lang Huai looked relaxed and happy, and said: "But Cong Canglanhu won't just sit and wait for death, so you have to be careful."

Wei Qianyi nodded, and said: "I think you have already planned how to arrange it. Tomorrow, the army will raise its account, and you can talk about it in detail. Uncle just asks you, how do you plan in the future?"

Lang Huai raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I am a general. When I return to Chang'an in the future, I will naturally drop my armor and hand over power. Besides, I have not been able to fulfill the filial piety period of my father's ancestors. I should go back to the ancestral grave to build a shed to keep my filial piety. It's my job."

Wei Qianyi was relieved, and said, "It's good if you think so. Mu Yan taught you very well. When I return to Chang'an, I can honor her."

"It's natural." Lang Huai responded with a serious face, said something else, and then left.

The next day, except for Yang Jisheng in the rear, the commanders and lieutenants of each battalion gathered in the tent of the Chinese army.

Lang Huai sat firmly in the main seat, his eyes swept over everyone's faces.There was complete silence in the tent, and even if someone looked down upon him, they had no choice but to calm down their impetuous hearts.

"Pingxi's army has been dispatched for two years, and there are only Suiye left in the four towns." Lang Huai spoke slowly, not speaking fast, "Now is the last battle, and we must do everything we can."

"Three days later, each battalion besieged the city. Yu Qiang and Tingchang attacked the northeast, Xiangying the southeast, Yongying the southwest, and the fourth battalion of the Chinese Army northwest. No matter which side breaks the city first, it will be a great contribution to our Pingxi Army. Suiye City is strong in the northwest and southeast. The wall is a little thinner. At that time, the Fourth Battalion of the Chinese Army should attack by force to lure the Tibetan troops to station in the northwest, so as to bring opportunities for the southeast to break the city." Lang Huai stood up, pointed to the hanging map, and completed the simple arrangement. "Ben will consume Cong Canglanhu's 18 troops to [-], relying on the bravery and fearlessness of the soldiers. Now, I will join hands with the lords, Suiye is an isolated city, and we will triumph together."

"Only the general will lead the way, let's make a triumphant return!" The tent was quiet for a moment, and there was a neat echo.Lang Huai nodded slightly, sat down again, talked about some trivial thoughts, and discussed with the generals present.

This discussion went straight to the evening.Lang Huai simply let everyone eat together, and then stood outside the tent and sent them out one by one.

Li Jin's arm is still hanging, but it is very good, but Tao Jun said that it is best to raise it for another month, until the bone is fully grown, and then loosen the bondage.He was the last to leave, and he said to Lang Huai, "You can't raise the flag just because this king's arm is bad. This king can still kill the enemy with his left hand."

"Your Highness, you are the general of the Gushan Camp. Can the Gushan Camp not be in the front?" Lang Huai was a little bit dumbfounded. Seeing his uncle finally showing a reassuring expression, he said sternly: "Your Highness, now the battle The strongest is the Gushan Camp, and in this battle, Huaiduo is relying on His Highness."

Li Jin also put away his playful look, and said: "Ah Huai, I don't know why, although I know that this battle must be won, but I always feel that I will lose something. Mingda is weak, you must not let her mess around. You can write it down ?”

Lang Huai said: "It's natural, don't worry, Your Highness."

Li Jinyuan walked away for a long time before Lang Huaicai quietly returned to the inner tent.Mingda went to take care of the arrangement of the bad guys here, but he hasn't returned yet.She suddenly thought of Li Jin's words, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped.

But all of this makes no sense.

In the eyes of others, Lang Huai was ambitious at a young age, stable and useful.But how many people know that she is only in her twenties now, and what she has experienced is something that many people may not even imagine in their lifetime.

"Master, there's an urgent letter from someone." Tao Jun opened the curtain and came in, stood still at the corner, and waited for Lang Huai to hum before he went in.

The sealant is neat, and the envelope is ordinary yellow paper.Lang Huai frowned and opened it, his eyes flashing back and forth following the words.The letter contains only a few dozen words, but it is actually Gu Cheng's request for a promise that Lang Huai should fulfill.

She has sent Cong Canglanhu's last direct descendant to death, so when will Lang Huai hand over Long Erxun's life?

However, a sentence between the lines made Lang Huai subconsciously look a few more times.

"In the past, I was fortunate enough to see "The Chronicle of the Empress" in the palace. Her deeds and deeds were all convincing. The emperor once said that if the empress ascended the throne 20 years earlier, the prosperous age will come sooner. It can be seen that I will travel far away at night, and I will often feel lonely—probably because there is no one in the world who has a long-term ambition like me. However, when I met Mu Gong in Khotan, I fell in love with each other."

However, when I met Mu Gong in Khotan, I fell in love with each other instantly.

At this point, the words of Xinxing came to an abrupt end.This sentence has a beginning but no end, but it makes Lang Huai feel alarm bells ringing in his heart.It seems that the cover-up that day did not dispel Gucheng's suspicion.She must have found other evidence and made her own judgment.

The terrible thing is that this judgment is indeed true.

It seems that seeing Khotan in the future will not go well.How can Gucheng be easy to give such a handle to people?I'm afraid I have to deal with something else.

Lang Huai was frowning, Ming Da came back from the outside with a dagger in hand.With just one glance, she could see that Lang Huai had great doubts in his heart.The originally excited mood also calmed down, Mingda sat quietly beside her, picked up the opened letter, and read it carefully.

After a moment of effort, she understood the ins and outs.Burning the letter paper into ashes by the candlelight, Mingda whispered: "My sister is very delicate. She was only scared back by you that day, and she will realize that you are actually a woman, Ah Huai. fact."

"I'm afraid that Gucheng will use this as a threat to make me do things that are not good for the Tang Dynasty. Or, in the future, she will not be satisfied with Tubo, and she will start to compete. I..." The more Lang Huai thought about it, the more terrified he became , simply shut up.

"Write a letter and tell Brother Seven." Mingda only thought for a moment, and then came up with an idea, "If you want to bet on sister Gucheng, I would rather believe Brother Seven. With his efforts to protect, even if you send it back to Chang'an, you can't help it." What are you?"

Lang Huai was taken aback for a moment, then he laughed and said, "It's really a fan of the authorities."

"I believe you to write, don't be stupid and blunt, and beat around the bush." ​​Mingda blinked and said, "I will write too. If Brother Seven follows the crooked advice of those pedantic people, I will ignore him for the rest of my life."

When a big rock fell to the ground, Lang Huai smiled and said, "You have a lot of ideas. Let's go, but you want to practice sword?"

"Of course you have to practice." Ming Da grabbed Lang Huai's arm, leaned against him, and said softly: "Ah Huai, if one day, people in the world know that you are a woman, how will you treat it?"

"Lang Huai asked himself for 20 years, and he is worthy of others." Lang Huai wrapped Mingda's warm bare hands, and said with a smile: "Everyone in the world knows that I am a woman, and you are also the wife I am marrying."

The battle situation once again entered a state of anxiety.Cong Canglanhu is not afraid of death, he personally controls a large army, and rides and kills outside.The Tubo people were born burly, which really made Yu Qiangying suffer when they fought for the first time.However, the Tang army had plenty of food and grass, and occupied a favorable location and harmony. Although they lost a few times, it inspired the morale of those soldiers who had never seen real blood.

More than a month after the start of the war, the situation began to shift to Datang's side.Li Jin, the leader of Gushan Battalion, recovered from his injuries, and he fought the first battle against Tubo General Meng Shen.The two of you come and go for hundreds of rounds, which once attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.

Cong Canglanhu, who was sitting firmly on the city, was full of self-confidence from the beginning, but later felt like sitting on pins and needles.Finally, after Li Jinmo cut off Mengshen's weapon, Cong Canglanhu suddenly stood up.

Li Jin fought more and more bravely, with full arrogance, he chopped more than ten times in a row, and beheaded Meng Shenxiao's head under the city.

After a long silence, Tang Jun's roar broke out.This Mengshen was brave and tenacious, and had already defeated more than ten lieutenant generals of the Tang Army, and the Tang Army was quite afraid of him.At this moment, being singled out on the battlefield and being beheaded by Li Jinli, Tang Jun really let out his anger.

When the news was sent back to the main tent of the Chinese army, Lang Huai left the rest of the mansion newspapers and laughed and said, "Slay Mengshen? Good!" She said to Tao Jun, "Pass down my military order. The city will not be attacked tonight, and the whole army will eat meat." !"

It was night, Tang Jun camped and fired at a distance that was not within the reach of the feather arrows in Suiye City. The stew was fragrant for miles, and everyone had a share of the wine.Warriors of all races in the Zhuguo camp even opened their throats and sang heartily in front of the fire.

"It's nice to listen to, but I don't know what he sings." Lu Laosan held the wine jar in his arms, and said to Lang Huai beside him while drinking, "Do you know?"

"He is from the Wusun country, and he sings a slang song of the Wusun country. This song probably means that a man is born in the mundane world, so he should be happy and unrestrained. If there is a grudge, then revenge quickly. If there is a pleasure, drink happily." Lang Huai After listening carefully, he roughly explained, and said, "Listen to Tu Yile, why should the third brother be serious?"

Lu Laosan was already half-drunk, and said with a naive smile, "That's right!" After saying that, he really didn't speak anymore, and just smiled and drank his wine.

Being so comfortable naturally made the Tubo soldiers on duty envious and jealous.However, my hometown is thousands of miles away, whether I can live is already unknown, but I can be homesick in vain, that's all.

The next day, after the Tang army rested, the offensive became more fierce.Long Erxun led the army to the front, and even unfurled a banner with the name of Dehuang Zanpu written in the Tibetan script, which surprised the Tibetans.

At the time of the truce, those men who could speak the Tibetan language in the camps of various countries shouted loudly outside the city. It was nothing more than that Cong Canglanhu was the sinner who killed his father and brother. Returning, those who surrender are not guilty unless they are killed, and those who resist are lost, and will never be able to return to the holy city.

In this day and night rotation, Zhicheng's three years and six months passed, the morale of the Tibetans was low, Zong Cong Canglanhu continued to resist stubbornly, and many people fled.Broken leaf city broken, but sooner or later.

That night, Lang Huai raised his account and gathered all the generals of the battalions to arrange the next move.

"Now the defenders in the city are no more than [-]. At this point, Cong Canglanhu will definitely find an opportunity to escape. Zhu Guoying still patrols the periphery, and if he encounters suspicious people, he will take them down immediately. He would rather compensate afterwards than let anyone go. After breaking the city , the commanders of the various armies will restrain their manpower, those who surrender will be disarmed and will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy." Lang Huai looked at those present, and Yu Chi Yanguang hesitated, mumbled several times, but finally said nothing.

Seeing everything in his eyes, Lang Huai said: "The city-breaking crossbow sent by Qiuci will be delivered in about two or three days. I planned to break up the plan and attack one place by force. I don't know who wants to fight?"

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Laosan said first: "Me!" Then the simple and honest man felt something was wrong, scratched his head and said: "I probably won't make it. Few of the swords and ax camps I lead can do it."

The city-breaking crossbow is no different from ordinary crossbows, and it cannot fully display its power without training.Lang Huai looked at the agitated faces of all the people, but he had to think about whether he had anyone who could use it, and he couldn't help sighing secretly - such a good thing takes a long time to produce, but it is extremely worn out.If Li Yu hadn't tried his best to rule out the public opinion, it would have been difficult to equip hundreds of city-breaking crossbows with enough arrows.

"There are many soldiers in the Qianfeng Battalion who are proficient in this crossbow. I would have sent the forward battalion to attack the northwest with the city-breaking crossbow. If the northwest city is broken, Suiye will be in chaos. Please don't miss this opportunity." Lang Huai said loudly. : "Gushan Camp Dehuang Zanpu stay for a while, the rest please go back."
