Everyone understands the truth. There is no truth, benevolence and righteousness. It only depends on their own interests.
It's just that the alliance with Tubo is more important at the moment, so Tuyuhun has no choice but to point his troops at the Tang Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, Tubo and Tuyuhun were just using each other.
But once Hexi was captured by Tuyuhun, the situation immediately changed.
Nuo Hebo glanced at his son with pleasure. In appreciation, the rise of a tribe requires not only a wise and powerful Khan to lead the tribe to overcome obstacles and expand territory, but also a qualified heir to inherit the rich fruits.
Go on and continue to develop.
His grandfather, Tuyuhun Khan Fuyun, was a heroic figure who led Tuyuhun to rise in troubled times. Although he was defeated by the Sui and Tang Dynasties successively, he was still able to keep Qinghai Lake intact and gained space and space for Tuyuhun to accumulate and grow.
time.
It's just that his father, Fu Shun, is mediocre and ignorant. He just enjoys himself and doesn't want to make progress.
Now, I am about to embark on the same road that my grandfather went on to fight for the future of Tuyuhun, and my son can also uphold his own will and become a qualified successor in the future. This is the greatest luck.
However, everything must start with the capture of Hexi.
If Hexi cannot be captured, then Tuyuhun will not only face a counterattack from the Tang Dynasty in the future, but even worse, it is likely to be severely stabbed in the back by its current ally Tubo...
Of course, Nuohebo had great ambitions to capture Hexi. How could he withstand the 70,000 Tuyuhun cavalry with a mere 20,000 guards in Youtun?
The power of the cavalry could not even increase the Tang army five times...
"The Tubo prodigal son's ambitions, although he currently supports his father, in fact he just hopes that he will disrupt the situation in the world and consume each other with the Tang Dynasty. This is something that my father knows well."
Nuo Hebo nodded, listening to his son's reminder.
The Tang Dynasty was a country of etiquette. Even if it sent troops to neighboring countries, it had to find a reasonable reason to ensure that "the division was famous", otherwise it would be "unjust and unfair". This is extremely pedantic, but for the surrounding countries
It is very beneficial for the country. As long as it avoids giving excuses to the Tang Dynasty, it can avoid war.
The situation in Tubo was different. The herdsmen at higher levels had no idea what benevolence, justice and morality were. They could fight whenever they wanted without looking for any reason at all.
This kind of enemy is extremely difficult to deal with, and coupled with its tyrannical power, Nuohebo would rather send troops to the Tang Dynasty than provoke Tubo.
Fuzhong said: "The son rushed to the front and urged the brigade to move quickly."
With that said, he rode forward.
Nuo Hebo hurriedly spread his hands, took the reins of his son's horse, glanced left and right, and saw that only his own soldiers were nearby, so he whispered: "When the time comes to charge, don't rush in front. Tang Jun's weapons are not only
It has a long range and is very powerful, so be careful at all times."
He didn't want his son to die first before he was defeated.
Without an excellent and qualified successor, what's the point of working hard to conquer the world?
Fuzhong laughed loudly and nodded: "Don't worry, father. Don't worry, son. No matter how reckless and arrogant the son is, how can he treat the weapons that the Tang Dynasty relies on to roam the seven seas and destroy Xue Yantuo as nothing? He must pay attention to everything and never act rashly.
.”
The Tuyuhun people are brave and good at fighting, and are not afraid of death, but this does not mean that they actively seek death.
With the outbreak of the two demonstrations in Mobei and the Western Regions, the power of Tang military weapons has been spread throughout the world. Who dares to underestimate the weapons that can gradually increase the number of weapons equipped by the world's most powerful army?
Nuo Hebo felt relieved and said, "Go!"
"Here!"
Fuzhong responded, rode his horse forward, rushed to the front of the team, and led the army through the high mountains, ravines and deep valleys.
Nuo Hebo raised his head and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and he felt infinite pride in his heart.
Galloping horses and killing enemies on the battlefield is the spirit of a man!
Throughout the ages, how many people have commanded tens of thousands of fine cavalry to cross the mountains and invade the lands of the Central Plains Dynasty? After this battle, the names of Nuohebo and Tuyuhun will surely shock the world. Even after a hundred generations, there will be people who will praise them today.
grand occasion.
Famous forever!
Nuo Hebo was filled with pride when he arrived. He reined in his horse and galloped forward.
Behind him, dense groups of Tuyuhun cavalry followed up, filling the mountains and plains into the valleys of the majestic Qilian Mountains. The sound of horse hooves made the mountains roar, even the earth trembled slightly, and birds and beasts fled in fright.
Murderous!
*****
Chang'an.
The spring and summer of this year were rainy, and the water levels of all the rivers in Guanzhong surged. The government and the public were once in a panic, fearing floods. But in early autumn, the climate was hot and it didn't rain for many days in a row. Nuo Da's
The 800-mile Qinchuan River in the Guanzhong Plain seems to have turned into a huge furnace. Even the willows in the yard have drooped branches and are listless.
In a dormitory of Xingqing Palace, Li Chengqian was wearing regular clothes, kneeling on the floor and drinking tea.
There are copper cabinets placed in every corner of the hall, which contain solid ice. When the ice cubes melt, strands of cool air emerge from the hollow lids, making the hall cool and pleasant.
The Crown Princess Su sitting on his side was sitting upright, wearing a gentle and elegant palace dress. She poured a cup of tea for Princess Gaoyang who was sitting opposite her with her bare hands. She said with a warm smile: "Your Highness should come to the East Palace more often, Prince."
I remember you sisters, but the state affairs are heavy and busy with redundant duties, so you can't leave the palace all the time, so you often mention it in front of me."
Princess Gaoyang was also dressed in palace attire, with exquisite makeup on her palm-sized face, which made her lips red and white, her teeth more delicate and charming. She heard this and replied with a smile: "When my son left, he told me to come to the prince often.
My brother is walking around here, but the weather has been very hot recently, and I feel sweaty and uncomfortable when I move, so I am too lazy to go out, which makes the prince brother worried."
Li Chengqian put down his tea cup, waved his hand casually, and said, "My sister, why do you need to say this? The prime minister went to Jiangnan. Has any letter been sent mentioning his physical condition? Besides, how is the situation at home?"
Although it was Fang Jun's request to leave the town of Hexi, the trip was too dangerous, and Li Chengqian inevitably felt apologetic in his heart.
"The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough and turbulent grass knows the loyal ministers." Only at such a critical moment can we get a glimpse of the loyalty, filial piety and kindness in a person's heart. No matter how good he or she is in ordinary times, it is nothing compared to the slanderous words, flattery and deception.
Therefore, he paid special attention to the affairs of the Fang family. He couldn't let Fang Jun go out to control Hexi and live to die, while he just sat back and watched the Fang family being bullied, right?
At present, the Guanlong lineage is more and more ready to take action without Fang Jun to suppress it. If any blind person dares to mess with the Fang family, he, the prince, will fight to be impeached by the imperial censor and scolded by his father, but he must also support the Fang family.
Stand tall and uphold justice.
Princess Gaoyang was taking a sip of tea. When she heard this, she put down her tea cup and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Prince, but please don't worry. Before leaving, I told the family to be careful in everything and not to cause any trouble to Brother Prince.
Even if something happens, he will tolerate it for a while and wait until he returns from the expedition to make another plan. Recently, things at home have been calmed down. Even at the dock in the south of the city, Mei Niang has restrained the servants and not to cause trouble. The situation is tense at this time and it is very serious.
In the face of the enemy, we women, although we cannot solve the problems for our father and brother, we can never cause trouble, so we can just tolerate it."
She "understood the general idea" like this, which made Li Chengqian feel more and more indebted.
What kind of high-spirited, arrogant and domineering person is Fang Jun? Now he is telling his family to put the overall situation first, and is willing to endure humiliation and humiliation, and will not make it difficult for him as the prince. Such a high-spirited and upright person, compared with those sleazy villains in Guanlong
, make a decision.
He is worthy of being the minister of the humerus that he relies on...
Touched from the bottom of his heart, Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "Sister, you don't have to be polite. Erlang is fighting for the country and guarding the border. If I can't protect my family, how dare I call myself a loner? If there are those who are short-sighted and cause trouble for the Fang family, just do it.
Come and tell Yu Gu that Gu will make the decision for the Fang family."
Although he has a weak character, it does not mean he is confused.
Fang Jun tried his best to become the crown prince. If he couldn't protect his family's small property, who would follow him in the future?
Not to mention that his friendship with Fang Jun has long gone beyond the difference between monarch and minister, and they feel like confidants, and they cannot just sit idly by.
Princess Gao Yang did not speak harshly, nodded and said: "In that case, if something happens in the future, my little sister will definitely come to trouble the crown prince brother."
Crown Princess Su had a gentle smile and was as beautiful as a flower. She took Princess Gaoyang's hand and said softly: "We are all our sisters. Isn't it too unreasonable to talk like this? My sisters just obey the prince's arrangements."
Princess Gaoyang responded with a smile.
At this moment, a chamberlain outside the door walked quickly into the palace, stepped forward and bowed: "Your Highness, Princess Changle just sent people to the Imperial Hospital, saying that Her Royal Highness was ill and asked two Imperial doctors to come for diagnosis and treatment.
.”
Li Chengqian was stunned at first, then his heart skipped a beat and he was startled.
