Chapter 360 Imperial Decree from the Imperial City

April King City.

The morning light shone on the city, and there was a touch of warmth in the golden light, at least not as cold as before.

The Wangcheng, which was taken over by King Daning, is still sparsely populated, but it is finally living the life that foreign traders and common people should have. At least when they go out to the streets, they see half of the soldiers withdrawn, and there is still a bit of dodge in their eyes. fear.

Tapping.

Walking up the central stone path lined with armored soldiers, Cheng Chu, who took off his armor, squinted his eyes at the rising morning sun, and turned his head slightly to look at Li Xian beside him, his words were full of reluctance.

"I didn't expect the imperial decree from the imperial city to come so quickly. Brother Li will be the first to return to the capital before we have time to rectify with the army."

"I still want to ask you a lesson or two on the way of triumph, about the training of these hundred cavalry and the secret of smashing the city."

Passing through the doorway, the shadow covered the three people walking side by side, Li Xian chuckled.

"It's okay."

"Right now, the old part of Tuyuhun in the city has been appeased, and there are Tang Qi in the wasteland who are suppressing and clearing the land. There are no rebellious barbarians in the entire Tuyuhun."

"After a while, let's get together in the imperial city! When the time comes, we will make some vegetarian dishes, and the third brother will have a good meal."

Speaking of dishes, the sadness of parting was also diluted a lot, Qin Huaidao licked his lips and agreed.

"Good! Good!"

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten Brother Li's specialty dishes for a long time. I ate some meat all day long in this wasteland, and I was so greasy. I wish I could go with Brother Li now and eat it earlier."

The horse rode out of the shadows, and the three of them stopped in front of the pontoon bridge. Qin Huaidao also put away his smile, and bowed his hands to Li Xian seriously.

"The sacred decree of the pilgrimage cannot be delayed. The sky is high and the road is far away. Brother Cheng and I cannot accompany each other. Brother Li, it is better to be careful on the road to protect yourself."

Hahaha.

Li Xian smiled generously, put his left hand on Qin Huaidao's shoulder and patted it.

"You kid, don't worry about these useless things. Now that you have made great achievements in the West Frontier, you should think about marrying a wife. Maybe it will be a double blessing, and you will be able to make your father happy."

"Now, the Tuyuhun army of 20 is helpless against us, and the crossing point is bound to be nothing more than a few bandits. Even if we meet, we want to go back. How dare they stop us?"

Hahaha.

The three of them laughed at the same time.

Cheng Chumo pinched Li Xian's shoulder and held back his smile slightly.

"Brother Li is telling the truth. Speaking of running all the way, it is fun to fight and kill. I only hope that I can be so chic on the next battlefield, hahaha."

After finishing the words, Li Xian pressed the handle of the knife, lifted the reins of the horse, walked across the floating bridge, glanced at the forward line formed by the Tubo reinforcements in the distance, and turned his head slightly.

"Chu Mo, Tuyuhun has gone through a lot of catastrophes, and a lot of waste is waiting to be done."

"The newly established Daning King will definitely not dare to make mistakes in the short term, but there are still people on the other side who are watching."

Speaking of this, Li Xian paused, then continued.

"Don't let some people go wrong halfway."

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo felt something, looked at the camp in the distance, and nodded secretly.

"Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely mention this to Li Shuai when the army returns to camp."

Ten casual riders came from the city gate on horseback, stopped behind Li Xian, and followed Li Xian to hand over Cheng Chumo's group.

"Let's go, let's all go back."

Li Xian yelled, turned the horse's head around, and rushed out with the horse's belly.

The elite soldiers selected from among the hundreds of horses behind them followed like a shadow, and the figures were guarded by their horses, and a group of running figures gradually disappeared into the sky.

city ​​gate.

Looking at the dust rising from the wilderness, Cheng Chumo turned around and entered the city until the dust settled and no one could be seen anymore.

"Previously Tubo came to Tang to cause trouble everywhere, but this time the attitude has changed drastically. I heard the scouts from the capital say that they seem to be visiting Tang again."

Slowly walking on the horse, Qin Huaidao took a deep breath, his expression slightly dignified.

"Seeing the mighty soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, I pretended to be a snake and showed my favor to the Tang Dynasty. I was secretly competing with the Tang Dynasty everywhere. I am afraid that these soldiers who claim to aid the Tang Dynasty are just a conspiracy."

……

As night fell, the Tang cavalry army, which had been in a hurry for a few days, finally returned.

With the help of the crackling bonfire, many soldiers roasted and cooked the cattle and sheep they brought back. Cheng Yaojin and others descended and sat among the soldiers, holding a big bowl and shouting loudly, which attracted a kind of The sergeant cheered excitedly.

Li Jing, who searched around the tents of the Chinese army, returned to the hall of the palace again, and saw the foreign ministers who had been left behind. Knowing that it was Li Xian who re-established the new king, he was somewhat relieved.

When he returned to the felt tent again, Cheng Chumo, who was dressed in armor, was already waiting outside the tent.

Expressing his intention of coming, he informed Li Jing that Li Xian had already left for Chang'an, the figure who was worthy of the account was obviously suffocated, and spoke slowly after a while.

"That's fine, go back earlier to save your mother from worrying."

He waved his hand to signal for Cheng Chumo to sit down on the side of the tent, and Li Jing sat firmly in the first seat of the tent.

"The Tubo soldiers have other plans. Li Xian asked you to tell this commander?"

After considering his words, Cheng Chu sat down and responded silently.

"Yes."

Picking up a light, the dim yellow flames lit up, illuminating Li Jing's slightly dignified face.

With one hand on the table and the other hand holding the hot tea served by the soldiers, Li Jing said slowly.

"Look, this kid has the same thoughts as the old man."

"Escorting Tuyuhun to escape to the royal family is a great achievement, and Fu Yun died beside these Tuyuhun soldiers, letting them pick up a favor for nothing."

"The Tang Dynasty has never shown friendly people. If they want to stay, let them stay."

"Let's pack up and wait for the imperial city's transfer order. If the guess is correct, it won't be long before the army of the Tang Dynasty will also evacuate from this land."

The military order has been issued, and Cheng Chumo can't stay any longer, so he bids his farewell.

The curtain was closed again, and there was still noise and noise coming from outside. Li Jing stood up slowly, and walked on the hanging cowhide map.His wandering gaze was on the place where the map was inscribed logically, and there was a coldness in the tiger's eyes.

"It's interesting to repeatedly offend, but to go to Tang Dynasty again and again."

"Relying on the border with Tuyuhun, I want to obstruct it. It seems that the person who came this time may not be kind again."

Li Jing pondered for a moment, then strode out of the tent, after a while, all the generals were summoned into the big tent.

Cheng Yaojin yelled loudly as there was still oil stains from meat left on the corner of his mouth.

"Tubo is a bird!"

"In my opinion, let's annihilate these reckless barbarians in one fell swoop, and let the neighbors around here take a look, so as to save trouble."

Cheng Yaojin's irascible temper could not tolerate too much thinking, raised his fists and became a little angry.

"General Cheng's words are wrong."

Someone stood up from the crowd and said.

"Speaking of which, Tang helped a lot in the battle of Tuyuhun. If we were to kill, it would chill the hearts of many countries that intend to surrender."

"From my point of view, we still need to wait until the matters of the imperial city are settled."

Seeing that there was another quarrel about this matter in the tent, Li Jing lowered his palms in the air.

"Let's not worry about Tubo affairs, just leave a few soldiers behind."

"The rest depends on what the imperial city Chang'an says."
