Xu Yunyan had a new idea and wanted to go to the Ottoman city closest to his tribe to see what the scenery would be like.
At the same time, it is also easy to arrange your own soldiers to defend or attack according to the characteristics of their soldiers.
After Xu Yunyan made this plan, the entire camp began to intensively select suitable people to form a decent caravan.
In Xu Yunyan, everything was ready and he was about to leave. In the early morning of Dunhuang in the Tang Dynasty, the shocking sound of war drums and the terrifying howl could not help but echo.
Pedestrians in Dunhuang City were bullied by foreigners from time to time when they were on the frontier. This situation did not exist at all now.
The foreign races on the frontier have been almost eliminated, and the Turks, who are as powerful as the Turks, have been beaten by the Tang army and can no longer find their hometown. They have to rely on the Tang army to survive.
Let’s talk about Tubo. Although Dunhuang is relatively close to Tubo, and Tubo still has their own natural barrier, they were also beaten not long ago and submitted to surrender. Now each of these Tang people are extremely proud that they were born in such a powerful country. within a country.
However, things are never perfect.
In the military camp outside the city, the Dunhuang assassin carefully looked at His Highness the Crown Prince standing in front of him, waiting fearfully for His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangements. Li Chengqian was sitting on the main seat like this, knocking on the table with one hand and the other hand. I don’t know what to think while playing with a special product from the Western Regions.
Listening to the rhythmic sound of beating the table with the same rhythm as war drums and horns, the governor of Dunhuang was even more honest and did not dare to do anything else for fear of accidentally attracting Li Chengqian's attention. No matter how ruthless he was, Cruel
Repairing and repairing yourself is a bit exciting.
However, after Li Chengqian knocked on the table for a while, he suddenly stopped, and the Dunhuang assassin's heart skipped a beat.
"That's bad. Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to settle a score with me, Queen Qiu?"
The Dunhuang Governor muttered speechlessly and looked up carefully at His Highness the Crown Prince again. Li Chengqian in front seemed to have thought of something good and looked at the Dunhuang Governor and started talking.
"Are you the governor of Dunhuang?"
The governor of Dunhuang nodded hurriedly, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.
"I am not the governor of Dunhuang. Who is the governor of Dunhuang? Didn't you ask me, the governor, to pay homage to you? Could there be anyone else besides the governor?"
When the governor of Dunhuang couldn't stop complaining, Li Chengqian started talking.
"Tomorrow is when the Tibetan Songtsan cadres will come to the alliance to accept the Tang Dynasty reward. You must be prepared."
Li Chengqian said one sentence after another, which made him stunned for a while.
"Be prepared, he is here to accept the reward, and your Highness the Crown Prince is here. What should I prepare? What should I provide?"
Monk Zhang Er, the governor of Dunhuang, was confused.
“I don’t know what His Royal Highness means.
I am a stupid official, and I hope His Highness the Crown Prince can give me some guidance. "
In the end, the Dunhuang governor had no choice but to ask Li Chengqian what kind of arrangements he had.
Li Chengqian didn't have any dissatisfaction with the governor asking him, but he said it.
"You are very good. You asked categorically what the arrangements were, instead of just guessing like some people are trying to do."
Li Chengqian's compliment meant that the governor of Dunhuang had a lot of face in his heart.
But before he could get proud, Li Chengqian started talking.
"
Later, you will rush to the front with my soldiers from the Tang Dynasty and greet Songtsan cadres as a civil servant. "
Li Chengqian nodded his head no matter what the governor said. It was not a difficult question. What was so difficult about letting him follow the army? As long as you follow the arrangements of His Highness the Crown Prince, there will be no problems. Even if there is a problem, His Highness the Crown Prince will still consider it for himself, so why not?
The governor of Dunhuang was quite proud, wondering whether following Li Chengqian and falling under Li Chengqian's eyes would allow him to go further and save his brother-in-law the hard work of earning money for himself. It would be nice to spend the money on his own, so why should he have to make more money for himself? What about further waste?
But just as the governor said this in his heart, Li Chengqian spoke again.
"And the most important thing is, I don't know if you can adapt to the Qi disease on the plateau."
This time the governor was even more surprised.
"Qi Ji, what's going on?"
Although the governor of Dunhuang didn't know much about it, it didn't take him long to understand various things in Dunhuang, a place quite close to the Tibetans.
Ignorance is fearless, knowing will make you afraid.
The governor of Dunhuang looked a little unnatural for a moment.
"Your Majesty is not because I don't want to rush forward, but because I am afraid that if I rush forward, I will lose the face of the Tang Dynasty."
The governor of Dunhuang said it tactfully, knowing that he had never been to the plateau, and if an accident occurred, he would not have to wait for others to take action, as his own life would not be saved.
At that time, how could we talk about following His Highness the Crown Prince to become rich and become a highly respected minister?
The governor of Dunhuang was not willing to explore the road first, even if it was a chance to show his face, but Li Chengqian was a little anxious again. Who would go if he didn't go?
? Some things still require literati.
Li Chengqian was a little at a loss when he saw what the Dunhuang Temple looked like, but this did not trouble the other people in Tiance Guard.
After understanding the whole story, Changsun Chong stood up next to him again.
"Your Highness, since the governor of Dunhuang is so ignorant, just let me go. After all, I am also a scholar. I am a general who has devoted myself to the army. I am very comfortable in the business of welcoming people and sending them off."
When Changsun Chong was speaking, he did not worry about the fear of the Dunhuang governor, and once again unfolded his fan with a gentle manner.
"How do I look like this? Am I not a scholar?"
This playful remark made General Tiancewei standing next to him very proud.
"Brother Chong is really good. Why don't you drag on your armor again and take back your arrogance?"
How about following Mr. Zhang Feng Wuji and becoming a civil servant? "
This half-joking remark made the Dunhuang governor even more frightened.
etc!
This man is not the son of Changsun Shunde, but the son of Changsun Wuji?
My dear!
Changsun Wuji is much stronger than Changsun Shunde. Changsun Wuji is the queen's brother and the prince's uncle.
This relationship must be able to replace him as the civil servant who welcomes and sends him off, right?
No, for the sake of my own face, I must perform well.
Just as the governor of Dunhuang was about to speak, Changsun Chong rushed in front of him and said, "Your Highness, don't doubt my ability just because I'm wearing armor. Before I put on the armor and became a general, I picked up these poems and songs at my fingertips. What do you think?" ?”
Changsun Chong asked there, and Li Chengqian finally nodded.
"good
, since the governor of Dunhuang is so useless, let him go back, let him stay in Dunhuang honestly and don't go out to cause any trouble for me. You, Changsun Chong, will be the official who welcomes you. "
Changsun rushed to Li Chengqian's order and nodded hurriedly.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do this beautifully. If the Tibetan invaders come, we should repair them. Let them see that we, men of letters, can go into battle to kill the enemy, so we should think carefully about it." Consider your abilities and don’t cause trouble by being hot-headed.”
After Changsun Chong said this, the Dunhuang governor immediately began to beg for mercy.
"Give His Highness the Crown Prince a chance, I will do a good job and won't embarrass His Highness the Crown Prince."
The Dunhuang governor kept pleading. This scene made Li Chengqian helplessly shake his head, and finally sighed again.
"It's not that I don't give you a chance, but it's that you have no way to go to the plateau. That means I can only give up on you."
As soon as Li Chengqian finished speaking, the governor was frightened.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, wants to give up on me? Please spare my life. I will definitely serve His Highness the Prince and I will never cause any trouble to His Highness. I just ask His Highness the Crown Prince not to give up on me!"
The governor of Dunhuang kept wailing. Seeing the governor crying so hard, Li Chengqian sighed helplessly.
"Why are you like this? It's not that I don't give you a chance, but it's about the face of the Tang Dynasty. I have to be cautious. If the governor really can't stand the reaction on the plateau, something happened to him in an accident, and he lost it. I, the Tang Dynasty, have a great reputation."
After Li Chengqian really planned to give up the Dunhuang governor, the governor became even more
He was trembling with fear and kept talking next to him.
"I can serve His Highness the Crown Prince in the military camp, but His Highness the Crown Prince also has to arrange a few civil servants beside me, right? They are all military generals, so maybe there is something inappropriate that they consider inappropriate."
The governor begged to come over, finally letting Li Chengqian breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, then you just wait at the foot of the mountain. After Brother Chong and Songtsan's cadres meet up, you can lead them here to pay homage to me."
"Yes, I will definitely not let His Highness the Crown Prince down."
As long as he had a task to arrange for him, the Dunhuang governor was quite happy. As soon as the arrangements were completed, Li Chengqian signaled his eldest son, Chong Xue Li, and other Tiance Guard generals to get ready.
Changsun Chong and Zhao Dong got together and began to discuss how to lead tens of thousands of soldiers who could adapt to the Tubo climate with the most majestic momentum to give Songtsan cadres a showdown, while Xue Li and others were preparing to show off their muscles outside the camp. , to Li Zhong, the prince's guard, and he led the prince's guard to stand guard in the military camp.
This time, Li Zhong was filled with hatred.
"You take over all the things that show your face, and arrange the things that don't show your face to us. You really look down on people."
Although I can't help complaining here, I don't dare to say any dissatisfied words. Now both the Prince Guard and the Tiance Guard are Li Chengqian's team. When Li Chengqian's position is stable, even if he says a word, They are his confidants, will these people still follow him and take risks?
Li Zhong watched helplessly as Li Chengqian made the arrangements. Although he was very unhappy, he thought of Li Chengqian's former master Li Zhong.
Ying couldn't help but laugh.
Although it was not a coincidence to go to Dunhuang City by myself, the caravan had already left and no useful information was found. However, I did not find any useful information, and you should not find any corresponding information.
After this battle, we all returned to Chang'an City. It's still not too early to arrange the team to look for Xu Yunyan. As long as we return to Chang'an City, I will have the opportunity to contact people to deal with Xu Yunyan in advance on the grassland.
Although the letter has been sent, Li Zhong cannot guarantee the outcome.
Just when Li Zhong couldn't help but think about cutting off Li Chengqian's arm first, and then trying to find ways to arrange the Tiance Guards to various places, so that they would be next to Li Chengqian. There was a great force beside Li Chengqian that would affect future plans. Li, Changsun Chong and others said to Li Chengqian.
"Your Highness, we have finished deliberation, should we start taking action now?"
Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Of course we have to start taking action after we are ready. We are waiting to show the invincible side of the Tang Dynasty in front of the Tibetan people. Since it is agreed that Songtsan cadres will come to Dunhuang tomorrow, we cannot not show it." It’s beyond our capabilities.”
