Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 370 As cunning as a fox

Outside Fucheng City, countless soldiers and horses from the Datang barracks marched eastward.

On the field east of the city, banners and flags flew out of sight, hoping that Murong Shun would lead the newly formed royal family members to line up on both sides and see each other off.

When the commander-in-chief Li Jing left the city, he cupped his hands and saluted, a relaxed look finally appeared on his face which had been trembling for a long time.

Li Jing galloped past, glanced at the faces of these members of the royal family one by one, looked at Murong Shun, nodded slightly, saluted in return, turned around and merged into the vast army.

His figure in silver armor slowly moved up and down with the horses. Li Jing frowned, and his eyes swept to the south where the former Tubo soldiers were stationed.

"The Tubo soldiers marched slowly, and seemed to be reluctant to leave after the withdrawal order was issued. I don't know what their intentions are."

Li Daozong at his side looked at the desolate and vast wilderness following Li Jing's eyes, gently twisted his long beard under his jaw, and expressed his worries.

Looking away from Liao's uninhabited field, Li Jingping looked towards the east, and his words were flat.

"Tubo was at the peak of its force in the Western Frontier generation. The envoys who visited the Tang Dynasty earlier used sharp words to provoke the public, and they were very hostile to the Tang Dynasty."

"This time the Tuyuhun war has come to an end, Tubo has tried every means to please, and the attitude has changed greatly, which is really thought-provoking."

"After the war is over, there is still nostalgia. If the guess is correct, they want to test the tone of King Tuyuhun. These people have ulterior motives."

The idea coincided with that of Li Daozong, the hand that was lightly stroking the beard was slightly choked in the air, and there was a light 'um'.

"Sun Zan, a cadre, became famous at a young age, and was able to rise angrily amidst the hatred of the family and the country. It is really not in his nature to say that he has no intention of getting involved in the world."

"I'm afraid this time it's the Goguryeo vassal's set again, who is obsequious in front of others, but builds a high wall behind his back, waiting for his wings to be full."

snort!
A cold snort sounded from the other side.

Cheng Yaojin reined in the horse, the silver armor on his body rattled with the movement, and there was a ferocity on his fat cheeks.

"It's a small place, dare to challenge!"

"It seems that I didn't smoke enough in the ring before, and I didn't improve the memory of these daring people."

"If they dare to act recklessly, our Great Tang army will advance to the plateau and kill all of them."

Ah.

"Lu Guogong, you and I are the chief generals of an army, and we all know that expeditionary marches consume a lot of energy."

"Just now when Tuyuhun was defeated, the pawn's damage was reduced to the minimum, but the consumption has not been reduced by a single iota."

"If you start a war, you are going to drag down the entire Great Tang! How can the thriving Great Tang Nongsang rise up? How can the entire army be repaired?"

The words were refuted, Cheng Yaojinhu stared, and wanted to reason again.

Sandwiched between the two, Li Jing slowly raised his palm, interrupting the quarrel with a low voice.

"Okay, don't argue anymore."

"The emperor's order is hard to disobey. There are still three thousand iron cavalry stationed in the royal city, and everything can be waited for by the military report."

……

Early April.

As the end of spring is approaching, the new green of the young grass gradually recedes, turning to dark green vines on the leaves and stems.

The camels dragging the luxury carriages were led aside to graze, and the bent camel necks touched the small bells, which made a quiet and pleasant sound.

not far away.

A group of figures in saffron robes and felt hats sat in the shade of a tree to take a rest.

The leader, Lu An Zan, was dressed gorgeously, with a broad face and thick lips, and a bushy beard. He leaned cross-legged against an ancient tree, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

He hurried all the way without stopping, but when he entered the official road of Tang Dynasty, his pace suddenly slowed down, stopping and walking all the way, as if he was waiting for some important clue.

The groom and accompanying guards not far behind took a nap in the warm afternoon sun, and Lu Anzan didn't send any order to punish him or to hurry.

Tapping.

The horseshoe hurriedly stepped on the pipeline loess and entered from a distance, waking up the drowsy guards. Lu Anzan, who closed his eyes, slowly opened his eyes the next moment, exhaled lightly, seemed to be much more relaxed, and spit out words from his wide mouth .

"coming……"

The galloping horse came to a steady stop ten feet away, cupped its fists towards Lu An Zan, and half knelt on the ground.

"Major Minister, it has been five days since the Tang soldiers withdrew, and three thousand Tang soldiers have been stranded in Tuyuhun."

A smile slowly floated on his cheeks reflecting the unique plateau red, he nodded slightly, and replied lightly.

"Go."

"After five days, attack the city!"

The sound of horseshoes disappeared again, and the smile on Lu Anzan's face remained undiminished.
"The Tang army withdrew, leaving only [-] soldiers and horses, and the Tang Dynasty was a little underwhelmed."

"Or maybe I didn't expect to have a present day."

The figure sat up from the ground, slapped the dust and mud on the buttocks, walked on the handrail in the sunlight, and cast a shadow standing proudly.

"Da Tang, oh Datang, you have clear rewards and punishments internally, and you have shown grace and power to the outside world. This time, you are suing me, Tubo, to carry out your slogans."

A guard came from behind and handed the wine, with some doubts on his face about the decision.

"Major Minister, the new king of Tuyuhun is the lord who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty also gave the princess a marriage to show his sincere support."

"If we attacked Tuyuhun King City, wouldn't we be provoking a break with Datang?"

"Then what is the purpose of our trip to get married?"

After receiving the wine handed by the guard, Lu An Zan took a sip, and the wide lips under the silver beard squirmed, smiling.

"The new king of Tuyuhun is isolated and helpless. How effective will it be to send the princess of the Tang Dynasty to Tuyuhun all the way from the Tang Dynasty? Who can tell whether the soldiers and horses enter the city, whether they are attacking or helping?"

Putting the wine back into the hands of the guards, Lu Anzan slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at the outline of the city wall in the distance, and said calmly.

"What's more, you just said that one is called marriage, and the other is called marriage. The difference between words is thousands of miles."

"Tubo dominates the plateau and dominates one side. How is it inferior to Tang Dynasty?"

The words paused slightly, and the palms behind his back were slowly clenched, and a stern look appeared in Lu Anzan's eyes.

"Tubo is waiting to be prosperous, and we can't lose the appearance. What we want is a marriage, not kneeling at the feet of the Tang Dynasty like these frightened soft bones, humblely eager for a little reward from the Tang Dynasty."

Re-tying the wine around his waist, the guard already understood the meaning of Lu An-chan's words, and cupped his hands.

"Great looks."

"The Tang Dynasty is used to the flattery and flattery of these subjects, so they must be proud and arrogant. If Tubo is like them, I'm afraid that they will not only refuse wantonly, but even pay a heavy tribute."

"If we hold a heavy fist in our hands, the weight in Datang's heart will be different. As for this marriage, it has become the best path pointed out by Tubo to Datang."

Ha ha.

Lu Anzan laughed twice, and waved to everyone to pack their utensils and prepare to load the car and set off.

"The Tang Dynasty clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments internally, and gives both kindness and power to the outside world. In the words of the Tang Dynasty, we are just following the gourd drawing."

"Let him, Datang, come and taste the taste of being roasted on fire."

After the words were finished, Lu Anzan had already moved to the chariot, boarded directly, and got in.

"Let's go! According to the estimated time, we will arrive in the imperial city within five days, and it will be the day when the soldiers of the Great Tang Dynasty will triumph."

"During the Daqing period, I received another urgent report from the Western Frontier Pass. I'm curious about the expression of that person from the Tai Chi Hall."
