Although Tucker was Edward's new confidant assigned to Lane City, the final result did not end well.
Instead, he was imprisoned by Shu Ke after his identity was made public.
Shuke didn't kill him, letting him die easily was too simple and made him too comfortable. It was most appropriate to let him work as a laborer in the cell.
This also provides valuable experience for Lane City to place idle personnel in the next step.
After Xu Yunyan left Lane City, Shuke and Norton stood together. Xu Yunyan and Norton looked a little unnatural as they watched Xu Yunyan go away at the city gate.
"I'm really too imbecile. The general is single-minded. For the sake of the Rhine City, I actually think about the general's other plans every day."
After Norton finished speaking, Shuke looked at Norton and said, "General Norton, you did nothing wrong for my sake in Lane City. Presumably the master will not talk to us."
When Norton said this, Shuke immediately comforted Norton and could not let any accidents happen to the pillar of the Rhine City.
When Xu Yunyan returned to the tribe and continued to make arrangements and struggle for the tribe to be able to stand alone, Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong in Dunhuang once again came down from the mountain with the exhausted Tang soldiers.
Only this time, seeing that the incense lit in front of their camp did not burn out, I couldn't help but laugh.
"I think you have adapted to the climate on the plateau now."
Although the time was only half a month, these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty dared to fight and fight for the Tang Dynasty and were not afraid of anything. Changsun Zhong and Zhao Dong couldn't help but respect them, eat with them, live with them, and train with them.
Although the current Changsun Chong still looks thin and weak, his thin arms and legs are full of strength. Even if the current Changsun Chong is a little darker, for the former Changsun Chong, the three he killed are nothing. questionable.
After Changsun Chong finished speaking, Zhao Dong nodded.
"The method that General Chang Sun has considered is the most effective. Use timed incense. Those who come back within the time will be rewarded. Those who come back outside the time will not be rewarded. None of these soldiers are working hard and traveling back and forth quickly. , so as not to leave a clue for you, General, to catch me."
Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong were laughing and joking inside the camp, but they suddenly reacted as soon as they entered the camp.
There seems to be a wrong atmosphere in this camp!
Then Chang Sun Chong looked at Zhao Dong, "This camp should be stationed by your Tiance Guards that you left behind. Have they all been eliminated? We are our enemies in the camp now. Why is the atmosphere so depressing?"
This moment frightened Zhao Dong, who quickly looked around.
"That's not right. The people standing guard here are all my subordinates. How could such a situation happen? And don't you know the company commander of Tiance Guard who is guarding the door?"
"I know him. He is Li Daozong's son."
After Changsun Chong said this, he still felt a little surprised.
"This is really unexpected. How could this happen?"
Just when Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong were so puzzled, they looked at the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers behind them who were tired but full of energy and breathed a sigh of relief.
"What if there is really a problem in the camp? We still have tens of thousands of Tang troops. Can't we still completely eliminate all hidden dangers?"
As soon as Changsun Chong finished speaking, Zhao Dong hurriedly complimented him.
"Yes, our Tang army is invincible and invincible."
But just as they were complimenting each other, an inappropriate voice sounded.
"You two are really enjoying your time. I wonder what you would do if something unexpected happens in the camp?"
Listening to this familiar yet unfamiliar voice, Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong were suddenly startled.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The two of them looked in the direction of the voice. There was indeed a group of people who had theoretically followed Xue Li back to Chang'an City.
The Ce Guards soldiers appeared again, and although the one in the middle was wearing armor, anyone could tell that the gorgeous armor was extraordinary. If it wasn't Li Chengqian, who could it be?
Li Chengqian watched Zhao Dong and Changsun Chong recognize him, and waved in front of them with a smile.
"I know how you two have performed these days, and you have done very well."
But after Li Chengqian finished speaking, Changsun Chong was relatively competent as Li Chengqian's cousin, while Zhao Dong was a bit timid as a minister and hurriedly saluted.
"The last general has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Seeing Zhao Dong being so serious, Changsun Chong had no choice but to salute.
Now is not the time for them to recognize each other as brothers, but the time to maintain the authority of His Highness the Crown Prince.
Changsun Chong also saluted, and Li Chengqian said directly.
"You are all wearing armor, why are you so polite? I am not an outsider, and I will not let you salute me at all times. Don't you understand me?"
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, Changsun Chong looked at Li Chengqian and said.
"Your Highness, how could you come here? This is the closest place to Tibet, and it is also the most suitable place to attack Tibet and send troops. If you accidentally get the news, what will happen if the Tibetan army invades? ?」
Hearing Changsun Chong's worries, Li Chengqian smiled.
"There is nothing to worry about. Youtian Cewei has tens of thousands of Tang Army precision soldiers stationed here, not to mention that behind us is Dunhuang City, which is also garrisoned by a large army.
Are you afraid of Tibet on such a large scale? What's more, I still have the prince's guard with me, and you can't beat me? "
After Li Chengqian finished speaking, Changsun Chong didn't say anything, but Zhao Dong did speak boldly.
"But we must be careful in everything. We cannot be arrogant and arrogant and let the enemy take advantage of us just because we have strong troops."
Although what Zhao Dong said was very uncomfortable, Li Chengqian looked at Zhao Dong and nodded.
"You are very good. You are worthy of being one of the four great generals that my master used to serve. I can rest assured that you will do your best. In this case, my safety will be left to you. You must arrange everything around the camp properly. If it really happens, There are Tibetan people who can touch it, and this is all your fault."
Li Chengqian's half-joking words were replaced by Zhao Dong's firm words.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, the general will do these things properly. If the Tubo people want to come back, they must first defeat the general's team and kill him before they can move forward."
"Okay, our Tang Dynasty needs such soldiers."
After Li Chengqian agreed, Changsun Chong saw the atmosphere getting weirder and weirder, and then stepped forward to speak.
"Your Highness, would you like to tell me why you are here? Are you here to watch the fun?"
Li Chengqian shook his head.
"Why do I come to watch the fun? Do you think I am so free? You should know that Songtsan cadres have been demoted, and my father has also agreed that Tibet will become a vassal state of our Tang Dynasty. He wants to sign some documents with them and reward them A little bit of Dongxi, wouldn’t I just come? Father, my Dinghai Shenzhen of the Tang Dynasty cannot go out. As for me, can’t I just come?”
Li Chengqian immediately explained to everyone, saving everyone from asking why Li Chengqian came, but everyone felt it was inappropriate.
"His Royal Highness, is it necessary for the Crown Prince to come down for this matter? Our Tiance Guards can give His Highness a sufficient reputation here. It is not our intention to have His Highness the Crown Prince personally involved in danger. It is also a tragedy for our generals."
Changsun Chong is now considered the most sharp-tongued among the Tiance Guards. Who knows that he used to be a scholar and trained in the army for a long time?
But as soon as Changsun Chong finished speaking, Li Chengqian shook his hand.
"Father still has deep meaning. Let them see things. It is not that they have to be honest after defeating them during the period of my father's reign. They can have ideas after my father is gone. I am also a young man, and there are so many young people like you. General.
And it’s the Tibetans you defeated. Let them remember that they are always in front of us no matter when or where.
It's the younger brother. It is impossible to be our enemy. "
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
"His Royal Highness, the Holy Ming."
And Changsun Chong started talking again.
"His Royal Highness, the Songtsan cadres in Tubo should be arriving soon. I have a suggestion."
Seeing that Chang Sun Chong had a suggestion, everyone looked at him curiously, wondering what Chang Sun Chong had suggested.
Before Changsun Chong said anything, Xue Li said with a smile as if he thought of something important Dong Xi.
"General Changsun wants to show the might of our Tang army in front of the Tibetan people, and let the Tibetan people know that the Qi disease they are so proud of on the plateau is useless to us, the Tang Dynasty?"
After Xue Li said this, Li Chengqian immediately looked at Changsun Chong with bright eyes.
"You mean that the tens of thousands of people behind you have been able to adapt to the climate on the plateau? Traveling on the plateau will be like walking on flat ground, and there won't be any more accidents?"
Li Chengqian's words also caused the surrounding Tiance Guards officers to talk about it, and they started to cheer after understanding the importance of this matter.
"That's great. There's no place in the world that our Tiance Guards can't go to."
"Who says it's not the case? We are the most elite, bravest and best at fighting."
But what they didn't notice was that Li Chengqian and his Tiance Guards couldn't help but cheer, but Li Zhong's face did look a little ugly.
"Tiance Guards are becoming more and more powerful. Tiance Guards can do more and more things. I have to know something they can't do so that I can have more say in front of His Highness the Crown Prince. Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince has With so many energetic soldiers, will they still put me in their eyes? Maybe I will become his head guard in the future." Kanshu La
While Li Zhong was thinking this, he would look at the generals of Tiance Guard all around him from time to time.
"Don't you always think that you are great? Sooner or later, I will step on all of you and let you know that I, Li Zhong, am the most powerful and capable."
While Li Zhongru was carefully considering his future, Li Chengqian also understood the importance of establishing prestige in front of the Tubo after being reminded by Chang Sun Chong and Xue Li.
Immediately, Li Chengqian took Changsun Chong, Xue Li, Zhao Dong and others into the camp and started discussing.
The discussion took a long time. After Chang Sun Chong and Zhao Dong returned with tens of thousands of exhausted Tang troops, the tens of thousands of Tang troops finally had a good rest and stood upright in the camp waiting for the generals' arrangements.
After everyone came out of the camp again, Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong had expressions on their faces that made anyone think they must be extremely happy and began to deploy troops and horses, preparing to welcome the arrival of Tubo Songtsan cadres.
Although it was said to be a welcome, it was more like giving him a warning. Nearly ten thousand Tang troops began to move out of the camp and be stationed, ready to rush to the plateau at any time.
But just as everyone was preparing there, another small incident occurred in Dunhuang City.
