The Tubo people had always been brave and brave, and did not pay attention to the Tang army that dominated the world. They dreamed of swooping down from the plateau, plundering and occupying the warm and moist land of the Tang Dynasty for themselves, and even sent their troops straight into Guanzhong to defeat Chang'an and overthrow the Tang Dynasty.
There are endless arguments, and Songtsen Gampo in Luoxue City is the most powerful figure. His main goal is to conquer the Tang Dynasty, let the Tibetan cavalry travel all over the south of the Yangtze River in Guanzhong, plunder a fertile land for future generations, and enslave the Han people forever.
.
However, they have not yet arrived in Chang'an. After two battles, the Tubo cavalry has finally seen how powerful the elite Tang army is. The two armies have either recently been defeated, or their improvised armies have lost one of their big teeth.
And we know how brave the real main force of the Tang Army will be.
Not to mention that this detachment traveling along the way has banned the order, has a prosperous army, and has continuously defeated Tuyuhun, Turks, and the cannibal Youtun Guards. What an appalling level the combat power will reach...
What makes Zanpo even more worried is that throughout the ages, when the Central Plains dynasty declined, the surrounding barbarians could naturally invade, burn, kill and loot. However, once the divided Central Plains was reunited, an increasingly prosperous dynasty would inevitably be created, with strong national power and war.
He is invincible and can crush the surrounding Hu people for hundreds of years.
This was the case throughout the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties.
Although Tubo today has a strong army and horses, the Tang Dynasty is stronger! If anyone wants to take advantage of the other party, they can only wait for one of them to gradually become chaotic and weak. I just don’t know whether Tubo will weaken first or the Tang Dynasty will become chaotic first...

Yecheng.
The Zhang River is frozen. Along the river, outside Yecheng, military camps stretch for dozens of miles. Cavalrymen come and go, flags are fluttering, and the military is in full bloom.
The Eastern Expedition army returned in defeat and withdrew from Pingrang City and returned to Guanzhong. Due to weather, traffic and many other reasons, they stopped and stopped all the way. Only now did they arrive outside Yecheng, which is still more than a thousand miles away from Chang'an...
When the army arrived, the local officials in Yecheng did not dare to neglect and came to see him immediately, but they were blocked from the military camp. Only the British Duke Li Ji hurriedly showed his face and said, "Your Majesty is slightly ill. He is resting and recuperating. He does not want to be alarmed."
In the local area, each department should abide by its duties and not waste people or money." So he sent them all back.
Naturally, the local officials did not dare to disobey His Majesty Li Er's order, but they also did not dare to send rice, grain, meat, eggs and other items raised by local squires and wealthy households into the camp to reward the army without any expression.
…
Inside the large military tent in the camp, the atmosphere was serious.
Li Ji was sitting at the main seat, holding a teacup and slowly sipping hot tea. Cheng Yaojin, who was sitting next to him, could no longer hold himself back. With a dark face and a loud voice, he slapped the coffee table next to him and said in a rough voice: "
How long will it take to return to Chang'an with all the stops and stops along the way? The battle report of the Chang'an mutiny has been sent to the army for a long time, but the British prince is sitting tight and watching the prince of the East Palace being besieged by the rebels. How do you feel at ease?"
Yuchi Gong, Zhang Liang, Zhang Jian, Cheng Mingzhen, Xue Wanche, Ashina Simo and others sat aside, all looking at Li Ji.
Li Ji was not upset at all. He drank tea slowly and said calmly: "How can I not be in a hurry? But as the saying goes, haste makes waste, hundreds of thousands of troops are moving, and there are many considerations in all aspects. A little carelessness will lead to unpredictable results.
The consequences must be dealt with carefully. Lu Guogong is also a veteran on the battlefield and has led troops for many years, so he doesn't even understand this principle, right?"
The march of hundreds of thousands of troops is indeed very troublesome. The amount of food and fodder consumed every day is astronomical. The army is already short of food and fodder, and it depends on local government offices to temporarily replenish it. The richer state capitals are okay, but where are the many poor state capitals?
So much food is coming to supply the army? Moreover, the weather this winter is extremely cold, with heavy snowfalls coming one after another, making the journey difficult.
Cheng Yaojin, however, did not give Li Ji any face. He glared at him and said, "The army is moving slowly and is short of food and supplies. I know this too. But I beg you to lead the army first. We don't need any supplies from the army, just for the early morning."
We arrived in Chang'an one day to put down the rebellion, why did you push back and sternly refuse? If I don't give an explanation to a certain person today, I will definitely not be finished!"
The army returned from Pingrang City, but the road was delayed and delayed. Many generals in the army were dissatisfied with this. When they finally arrived at Zhuojun, news of the Chang'an mutiny reached the army, but Li Ji still ignored him.
General Rili handled all affairs, big and small, properly. He mobilized the necessary food and supplies from nearby prefectures, and arranged the night's campsite before setting off in the morning. There was no difference between the march of hundreds of thousands of troops.
His ability amazes many people.
However, there are so many urgent needs at this time, is this the time to take care of this?
But Li Ji insisted on going his own way, and strictly ordered the entire army not to leave the army without authorization, otherwise they would be severely punished for deserting!
Of course, some people are anxious and want to return to Chang'an as soon as possible, while others are not impatient and wish they could delay it for a few more days... Of course, everyone understands the reason. However, what Cheng Yaojin can't understand is that even if others are willing to delay for a few more days,
A few days gave the Guanlong clan enough time to get things done, but why did Li Ji give him tepid support?
Our followers are all Shandong aristocratic families. Even if you put aside the element of loyalty to the prince and just consider your own interests, you should not allow the Guanlong clan to launch an unscrupulous mutiny in Chang'an?
After arriving at Yecheng yesterday and setting up the camp tightly without any omissions, Li Ji ordered another two days of repairs here. Cheng Yaojin finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded.
Duke Yun Zhang Liang coughed slightly and said, "Don't be impatient, Duke Lu. Hundreds of thousands of troops are marching, and every place must be handled properly. Otherwise, if a mutiny occurs, who can bear the responsibility? The British father Cheng Mouguo
, safety is the best, it’s just the right thing to do.”
"Mom!"
Cheng Yaojin stood up, glaring at Zhang Liang, and scolded with his halberd finger: "Get out of here, motherfucker! Do you think I don't know what you have in mind? Stop dreaming about your Qingqiu dream! You are like this
A person who has no shame and only knows how to get into the job by luck. He can change houses as easily as a prostitute picking up customers. He has no integrity. Even if the Guanlong Rebellion is successful, how can he pay attention to you, a loser?"
He can endure in front of Li Ji, and even if he is dissatisfied, he will leave some room for it, but who is Zhang Liang? Even someone who is ordered around and treated like a dolphin by Fang Jun dares to bite him.
Take five and make six in front of gold!
Zhang Liang's face turned red with anger and he said angrily: "How can you curse someone when you have something to say?"
"Swearing? I still want to kill someone!"
Cheng Yaojin raised his feet and walked forward, and rushed towards Zhang Liang. His right hand was already on the handle of the horizontal knife at his waist... Fortunately, Ashina Simo next to him had quick eyesight and quick hands, and knew that something was wrong when he saw him getting up.
, quickly hugged him tightly and advised: "Don't be upset, Mr. Lu, please be calm and don't be impatient, be calm and don't be impatient!"
Cheng Yaojin was extremely powerful, but Ashina Simo was also incredibly powerful. He couldn't break free despite his efforts, but still pointed at Zhang Liang and yelled: "Mother! You're a filthy piece of shit, keep going back."
Who told you to keep one eye open, otherwise I might chop off your head one day!"
Zhang Liang's face turned red and white, and he bit his lips to swallow all the humiliation and anger without saying a word.
It's not that he is educated, but that he really doesn't dare to say anything! They all say that Fang Jun is a stick, but who doesn't know that before Fang Jun, Cheng Yaojin was the most generous stick? Even His Majesty Li Er sometimes
There was nothing he could do about Cheng Yaojin who was angry... If he was really angered, it would be impossible to kill him, but it would be effortless to break his hands and feet.
Li Ji, who had been silent all the time, looked as usual. He didn't even look at Cheng Yaojin, who was kicking his son. He put down the tea cup in his hand, lightly knocked on the coffee table next to him, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has passed away. As a deputy commander, I take control of the situation."
If anyone in the entire army disobeys, it is like violating military orders."
With one sentence, the atmosphere in the tent was suppressed, and then he raised his head, looking at each other one by one, finally resting on Cheng Yaojin's face, and said word by word: "The military order is like a mountain. If Duke Lu dares to lead his army privately to leave the army and return to Chang'an, then
If you regard him as a traitor, he will be killed without mercy!"
"...Mom!"
Cheng Yaojin cursed angrily, broke away from Ashina Simo, turned around and sat back down, his hair sulking and sulking, but he never mentioned the topic of speeding back to Chang'an again.
Not only is he not a fool, but he has a delicate mind hidden under his rough appearance. Although Li Ji never explains too much, such a tough attitude is enough to make him feel that there is something unusual. Moreover, Li Ji looks like a person
All day long, Yun Danfeng appears to be light-hearted and talkative, but in fact he has a strict and ruthless temperament. If he really offends him, it may be difficult to end it.
I don’t understand what kind of medicine Li Ji is selling in the gourd. He will not act recklessly...
