Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xian held back his energy and insisted on going to fight Tubo Gao Kan and Li Jinxing took turns to fight, but he couldn't say this, so he could only turn his head and look at Zheng Qi with a frustrated face and said: Dear, can you take this guy away and educate him?

Zheng Qi had been sitting on the sidelines just now and watched Li Xian's few words to defeat Gao Kan and Li Jinxing. These two are no longer Li Xian's opponents, and it is not good for him to be transparent, so he asked directly: "The last general knows What are the two stewards worried about, but I believe that the king also has his intentions, why don't we go and look at the map, if it is possible to fight, then fight, if it is not easy to fight, then please don't act impulsively."

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing were a little hesitant. They are all generals, and only by fighting can they make meritorious deeds. Of course, if they can, they also want to fight logically. The credit must be not small. The reason why they don't want to now is because Li Xian is here That's all, they were all terrified by Li Lun's capture.

Moreover, the city that could have been taken down a long time ago has lost so many soldiers and food for nothing because of Li Lun's problem. King Shou now means more to Datang than King Xiang. If something goes wrong, the two of them I'm afraid that he will be eaten alive by the emperor and empress.

After hearing Zheng Qi's words, Li Xian thought to himself: All of you are good at marching and fighting, and I only know a little bit of superficiality. When the time comes, the three of you will point to the map and fool me together, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to refute.So this kind of thing cannot be done.

So Li Xian waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I won't go to the front line. There are two generals here, are you still afraid that I will be caught by the Tibetans?"

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing thought about it for the same reason. Xiang Wang was captured because of a traitor. Since this incident, everyone around Shou Wang has been checked one by one, basically not his own people. It was the people sent by the Empress Dowager, and some of Zheng Qi's people were hidden among them. It can be said that Li Xian is very safe.

Seeing that their expressions were relaxed, Li Xian said again: "And...with the phosphorus bomb, I will modify the tiger squatting gun again. The Tubo people are definitely not our opponents."

When Li Xian mentioned the phosphorus bomb, Li Jinxing and Gao Kan felt a little lingering in their hearts, and they still had lingering fears when they thought of the tragic situation of the people in Ashina Duzhi. This thing...is really a big killer.

This is also the reason why Gao Kan and Li Jinxing heard that Li Xianyao beat Tubo and did not directly choke but tried to persuade him. This Highness is too scary. Although he is not good at kung fu and he is not strong, but the things he fiddles with can kill people. Don't offend, don't offend.

Seeing that Gao Kan and Li Jinxing had no objections, Zheng Qi was also relieved. He knew that Li Xian was holding fire in his heart, and that fire must not be cured by killing an Ashina, so he didn't stop it either. Li Xian, anyway, it is not a problem to fight against Tubo with the soldiers and horses in Li Xian's hands, not to mention that Li Xian will stand by and watch when he goes to fight against Tubo?

If some soldiers really come to the city, Tubo will definitely withdraw the soldiers and horses from the Qilian Mountain area. At that time, Zheng Qi will leave some people to guard, and help his family Ah Shi to clean up Tubo when he packs up.

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing have no objection, Zheng Qi is on the surface siding with Gao Kan and the others, but actually helping Li Xian, the fight against Tubo is settled just like that, as for hiding it from the court... Cough cough, Your Highness If you don't say it, you will not accept military orders abroad.

After they settled down, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing were very curious about how Li Xian would modify the Tiger Crouching Cannon. Li Xian purposely sold it out and didn't tell them. After they left, he asked Zheng Qi, "Is there a furnace near here?"

"What are you going to do?" Zheng Qi knew what Li Xian had in mind as soon as he heard it.

As soon as Li Xian heard it, he knew there must be one, so he took Zheng Qi to the study, and then drew a few pictures for him and said: "Do according to this picture, when the time comes to use it for the tiger crouching cannon, it should be it works."

Zheng Qi took it over and looked at it for a while before saying, "You are... using a shield for the Tiger Crouching Cannon?"

Li Xian nodded. He drew shields, one left and one right, the left shield has a hole on the right edge, and the right one is just the opposite. To be honest, he has been worried for a long time. The tiger squatting cannon is indeed very useful, but it can take advantage when everyone has never seen it before. Later... the Tibetans are very good at arching and horses. It will be troublesome if the artillery is killed, so the artillery must be protected.

Li Xian wanted to do this thing before, but Li Zhi didn't give him a chance and sent him to the front with an edict. He thought about doing it after returning to Beijing, but let's do it now.

Of course, it's not just these two shields. Li Xian also made a shield on top of his head, so he needs to build a shelf. After it's done, it will probably be a simple armored vehicle, but... ahem, this The armored vehicle is propelled by manpower, but such a heavy thing requires too many people, and the shield can't stop so many people. Li Xian can only improve the wheels, at least it is not so difficult to push.

After Zheng Qi saw this, he knew what it was for after thinking about it, so he turned his head and ordered someone to find a furnace to make a shield. Anyway, this thing is more about bow and arrow protection, and Li Xian also There are no other special requirements.

After Zheng Qi left, Li Xian turned to look at Li Lun. Although Gao Kan and the others had been sent to Shanzhou to deal with the aftermath these two days, he was too busy. Anyway, this was a great victory and he had to report it to the court. Yes, as the marshal of the army, he naturally wanted to write a letter to plead guilty - he can be said to have left his post without authorization, and how to punish him depends on Li Zhi's mood.

However, Li Xian felt that if Li Zhi knew that he had brought soldiers and horses all the way to Tubo's lair, he would probably be mad with anger, right?

But even so, Li Xian wasn't going to change his mind. He walked all the way and wanted to wait until Li Lun's place and found Li Lun sitting on a chair in a daze.

Li Xian felt a little distressed when he saw Li Lun's lack of arrogance. He deliberately didn't ask Li Lun what happened to him when he was in Shanzhou, in case the child would remember it again, but... this is a hurdle , Li Lun will become stronger if he passes it, but if he can't make it...he will be useless.

Li Xian regretted why he didn't study psychology at the beginning, otherwise he could enlighten Li Lun now.

When Li Lun heard the footsteps, he raised his eyes and saw Li Xian walking in casual clothes, his small face burst into a smile: "Seventh brother!"

Li Xian came over and sat beside him, patted his head and asked, "How do you feel? Is there any other discomfort?"

Li Lun shook his head and asked, "Brother Seven, when are we going back to Chang'an?"

Now that all the pride in Li Lun's heart is gone, he has also seen how cruel the battlefield is, and suddenly understands that he may not be suitable for the battlefield. Although the Li family is about to win the world, it seems that he is marching. On the other hand, he probably doesn't have much talent. In this case, it's better to return to Chang'an early and save the army from adding chaos.

Li Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Since your health is already recovered, I'll ask someone to arrange for you to be sent back to Beijing in three days."

After hearing this, Li Lun was stunned for a moment, looked up at Li Xian and asked, "Aren't Brother Seven going?"

Li Xian hesitated for a moment before saying: "I came here because I left my post without authorization, and I have to go back to see the situation over there."

Li Lun was frightened but not stupid, and immediately asked: "Didn't you already get the military report before, those Tianzhu people have been beaten away, and even Director Liu wants to return to the court Now, why should Seventh Brother go again?"

Well, it seems that this kid can't be fooled anymore, Li Xian can only say helplessly: "I want to lead troops to fight Tubo."

"Hit Tubo?" Li Lun's eyes widened, "Why...why?"

Tubo can be regarded as a strong enemy of the Tang Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty that you come and go can beat Tubo back every time, it doesn't take much advantage, so everyone will be more or less worried when they hear that there is a war with Tubo.

Li Xian sneered and said, "Why? Tubo provoked again and again. Is this the way it is? Every time, they ran to burn, kill and loot, and turned around and handed over some tribute. This time, they even dared to join forces with Tianzhu, even Buying a general in the army, as the saying goes, how can others snore by the side of the bed, and Tubo should show some color, otherwise they really think that Tang is easy to bully?"

Li Lun said anxiously: "Father must know it well, Brother Seven, why don't you go back and report to Father."

Li Xian thought to himself: If I report to my father, he will definitely not allow me to go to Tibet, otherwise why should I rush to send troops?But this cannot be said to Li Lun.

"Well, I know this matter well. Anyway, I have something to do here and I can't go back with you. You can only lead the troops back to the court by yourself."

Li Lun hesitated for a moment and said, "How about... I'd better wait for Brother Seven to finish his work and return to Beijing together."

Li Xian quickly shook his head: "That's not okay, my father and mother are very worried these days, you'd better go back early to make them feel at ease, don't worry, I have Gao and Li and General Zheng by my side. Manager Liu and the others are not far from here, nothing will happen, so don't worry about me."

After hearing this, Li Lun sighed, nodded and said, "The seventh brother also needs to go back early, father and mother are worried about me, and also worried about the seventh brother."

Li Xian rubbed Li Lun's head hair into a chicken coop with satisfaction, and Li Lun let him rub it obediently without saying a word. Li Xian hesitated for a while and said: "Balang, life will inevitably encounter setbacks, but You can’t let this fall down, understand? A true warrior dares to face all difficulties, and don’t let Mom and Dad down.”

After hearing this, Li Lun said with a serious face: "Brother Seven, I understand."

Although Li Xian was still worried, he didn't know what else to say, so he said, "Okay, you have a good rest, and I'll tell them to pack your bags for you."

On the day of Li Lun's departure, Li Xian personally went to see him off. Sitting in the carriage, Li Xian looked at Li Xian, who was wearing a silver armor and red cloak, full of energy. The envy in his eyes was undisguised. Li Xian asked him a few words before letting him go. Then he turned around and set off with Gao Kan and Li Jinxing.

They also studied the map before, and finally came to the conclusion that soldiers are expensive and fast, and it is best to fight in a short period of time, otherwise Tubo will be in big trouble when they send troops to the southeast in order to encircle Wei and save Zhao.

"Let's divide the troops." Li Xian thought for a while and said, "The best thing is to divide the troops now. One of you, Director Gao and Director Li, leads the team to go straight to the patrol, and the other one and I occupy the city along the way to help deal with the aftermath. ... If you go all the way from Golmud, there are not many cities, so it won't be too troublesome, the only regret is that the tiger squat cannon can't adapt to the rapid march, and the vanguard may have no way to take it away."

This method looks good, but Gao Kan still couldn't help asking: "Why are you so anxious, Your Highness? Isn't it good for us to fight steadily all the way?"

Li Xian stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of some cities and said, "I don't want to give them a chance to surrender."

As long as the other side surrenders to Datang, even if it is unwilling, it will stop, otherwise it will not sound good, not to mention the surrounding neighboring countries, and even many tribes in Datang will object.

How could Gao Kan and Li Jinxing not understand this truth? The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help but tremble, knowing that His Highness was really angry. It is more frightening for an honest person to get angry. This His Highness has rarely been hostile to others since he entered the dynasty.

However, they didn't have much sympathy for Tubo. After discussing with Li Jinxing, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing decided to let Li Jinxing lead the troops to make a surprise attack. City Bazhai will do.

As for the improved Tiger Crouching Cannon, it is naturally in the back, but Li Jinxing also brought some phosphorus powder, which should be useful at that time, but Li Xian was worried that the low melting point of the thing would hurt Tang Jun, so It was the first time that Gao Kan and Li Jinxing saw something that could be preserved with water, and they left without saying anything.

In this way, when the edict to invite Li Xian to return to Beijing was still halfway, Li Xian had already led people to turn around to find trouble in Tubo.The angel who came all the way was dumbfounded at the empty courtyard, and he couldn't go back, so he could only run behind Li Xian while writing a book.

Li Xian didn't know that there was an edict chasing him after him, but he knew it in his heart, so his marching speed was not slow. If it wasn't because of the tiger crouching, he might have to urge Li Jin to go.

Speaking of which, Li Xian brought Gao Kan and thought that there was nothing wrong with him, but after conquering three cities in a row, he found that... something really happened, he wanted to try his best to stabilize the captured Tubo people!

Speaking of it, the Tubo people are really ferocious enough, even the common people have a desperate drive, because there is an improved version of the tiger crouching cannon, so when they attacked the city, they did not lose much, but after entering the city, they were attacked and lost Some people.

Li Xian is also a bachelor, so he simply arrested these people, but it's a pity that the prisoners can't be killed or piled up in Beijing, and they can't pay for each other, so Li Xian still feels aggrieved.

Therefore, almost all the cities that Li Xian passed by left some soldiers to take care of them. After taking down six cities in a row, Li Xian became tangled. Bring troops to support.Unexpectedly, before his handwriting was sent out, one of his personal soldiers quickly ran over and knelt down and said, "Report to the Marshal, General Zheng will lead the troops to visit the Marshal."

Li Xian paused while he was sealing the letter, and then beamed with joy: "Hey, it's just in time, please quickly invite General Zheng."

After Zheng Qi came in, he was relieved to see that although Li Xian had lost some weight, he was in good spirits, but Li Xian was really surprised when he saw him.

"Why are you so haggard?" Li Xian was a little flustered, it was the first time he saw Zheng Qi in such a state, it looked like he hadn't rested for a long time.

Zheng Qi waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let's talk about the situation in the past few days."

Li Xian said decisively: "The military situation is not urgent, you should go wash and rest first."

Zheng Qi wanted to say something else, over there Li Xian had asked someone to boil water and send it to his camp, well, because Zheng Qi came in a hurry and his camp hadn't been built yet, Li Xian decided to let Zheng Qi live there In his own place, of course, the two of them can't do much, Li Xian did it because he lived in the best environment in the military camp, and he was reluctant to let Zheng Qi find a camp to make money.

What Zheng Qi wanted to say was blocked and he went back. He had no choice but to be rushed by Li Xian to take a bath. After taking a bath, Li Xian drove out all the people in the tent, and helped Zheng Qi dry his hair with his own hands. Looking at the acupuncture points on his head, although he only learned a little bit, it was enough for Zheng Qi to relax his nerves.

Zheng Qi was probably really tired, and originally wanted to force himself to talk to Li Xian, but the result was probably because Li Xian's massage was so comfortable and he was relieved to see people, so he just fell asleep like this It's over, Li Xian wiped his hair almost and put him down gently, then he also lightly washed his hands and went back to sleep with his man in his arms, contented.

The next morning, Li Xian woke up in Zheng Qi's arms, Zheng Qi noticed it as soon as he opened his eyes, and asked gently: "Are you awake?"

Li Xian rubbed his eyes: "What time is it?"

"Just now, you can rest for a while." Zheng Qi looked at Li Xian's half-awake state and said while leaning over to kiss him lightly.

Li Xian directly hugged Zheng Qi's neck and deepened the kiss. The two of them have been together less and more often in the past six months. Let alone being intimate, even seeing each other is extremely difficult, so now they finally managed to steal half a day of leisure. , the two of them almost lost their guns, and in the end Zheng Qi managed to maintain his clarity, suppressed his anger and let Li Xian go.

Li Xian also knew that this was not a place for nonsense, no matter how thick the tent he lived in would not be able to stop certain voices, although many people knew about the matter between him and Zheng Qi, but it shouldn't be too presumptuous, right?

After finally calming down, Zheng Qi saw that the blush on Li Xian's face was fading away, so he asked someone to come in with water to wash up. After washing up, Li Xian asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

Zheng Qi said with a smile: "Didn't I say that when you attack Tubo, Tubo will definitely withdraw its troops in a short time. I have already kept people there. You didn't bring many troops back then, so I will come to support you."

"Brother, it's too timely!" Li Xian grabbed Zheng Qi's hand and was about to cry: "I just wanted to write a letter to Liu Rengui and the others to transfer troops."

Zheng Qi said helplessly: "The Emperor and Empress probably know about the good deeds you have done, so let's think about how to do it when we go back."

Li Xian raised his head and gave full play to his bachelor spirit: "I'll talk about that matter later, anyway, I will have military merits, so dad can't do anything to me."

Zheng Qi: ...I really want to beat this little bastard, what should I do?

After Li Xian played the rogue, he began to act cute: "Qingqingcheng, it's too good for you to come, what do you do with these cities?"

To be honest, Li Xian is very worried recently, the Tubo people are so raw, the kind who don't obey discipline at all, it feels inappropriate to arrest them, after all they are civilians, but it is very troublesome if they are not arrested and set on fire.

After hearing this, Zheng Qi was very calm: "Leave it to me."

Then... In the next three days, the number of prisoners in Li Xian's hands suddenly increased several times. The most speechless thing was that all those people were fully armed and took the initiative to attack the Tang army. It was only natural for Li Xian to capture them.

So the city captured by the Tang army was more like a military camp during this period of time. When Li Xian saw that Zheng Qi was by his side, he didn't have to worry about anything. He directly asked Gao Kan and Li Jinxing to meet at Qilin Cuo first. Qi will arrive later.

Zheng Qi couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard that Li Jinxing had fought all the way to Qilincuo. Qilincuo is very close to Luoxie City, and there is only Namtso Lake between them. Namtso Lake itself is not Even if it is big, it is not an obstacle, let alone...with Li Xian present, wherever there is water, even obstacles can't be used.

Mansong Manzan once again faced the danger of soldiers approaching the city, but this time Datang, or Li Xian would definitely not let him go.

But to everyone's surprise, Mansong Manzan did not lead people to stay in Luoxie to fight with Tang Jun, but directly led them to Gangdise in the west, and even withdrew Dalun Qinling left, only Zuo Ru soldiers and horses among the four were left.

Originally, Li Xian was worried that Mansong Mangzan would surrender directly. He had been entangled with Zheng Qi before, saying that if Mansong Mangzan surrendered, how could he directly kill the gang of grandchildren without being scolded?

In the end, he didn't expect Mansong Mangzan to retreat like this. It's okay, so he doesn't have any psychological burden to stalk, and just let the tiger squat on the cannon.

These cities are no better than the previous cities, and the defenders are not comparable to those cities. What's more, the reason why the previous battles against those cities were so smooth was because Tubo was caught off guard by them. Ten thousand people is also a tough battle.

Li Xian was not panicked at all, when Gao Kan, Li Jinxing and Zheng Qi got together to discuss how to break the city, Li Xian asked people to find something, and he wanted to prepare sacrifices!
