It's good news, Datang finally sent troops.
Since arriving in Liangzhou City, Li Qinzai has sent troops to intimidate and negotiate with the two countries. He has killed people and hurt people's hearts. The purpose of doing so many things is to delay the war between the two countries.
Now it seems that the purpose of Li Qinzai's discussion with Li Zhi before leaving Chang'an has been achieved. He single-handedly successfully pressed the pause button on this war.
The ferocious Tubo army was pinned to Jishi Mountain and did not dare to move. Tuyuhun also ceased its activities and voluntarily gave up the throne. The Khan and his wife prepared to move eastward to the Tang Dynasty, waiting to be crowned king by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. From then on, they only envied the mandarin ducks. Not envious of immortals.
After arriving in Liangzhou, a lot of things happened, one after another, including Li Qinzai's personal plan and an unexpected assassination plot. Although it did not go well, in general, the goal was achieved.
Now that the Tang Dynasty finally sent troops, Li Qinzai felt happy.
"Old Sun, pass on my military order to reward the soldiers today with two hundred roasted whole sheep. Let's show off!" Li Qinzai laughed.
Sun Congdong also excitedly clasped his fists and accepted the order.
"If there are not enough sheep, send someone to work part-time. Go to Tuguhun and find a few tribes to grab some. In short, everyone should have fun."
Sun Congdong hesitated for a moment and then responded loudly.
After Sun Congdong left, Li Qinzai was still laughing so hard that he suddenly slapped the table hard.
Let’s have some debauchery tonight, drink some authentic Western grape wine, and let the maiko girls twist a few times...
Immediately, Li Qinzai's expression froze. When he talked about Western Dance Opera, he couldn't help but think of Zinu.
What a good girl. She is in jail. Even if she is released in the future, she will still have a criminal record. If her children want to join the army in the future, they may not be able to pass the political review...
While he was thinking and worrying, Song Sen came to see him again.
Song Sen has been very busy these days, busy searching and arresting people. He looks a little thin today.
Li Qinzai had a bad expression when he saw him, and turned a blind eye to Song Sen's flattering smile. He pointed at him and said, "Who told me with a pat on his chest that all the spies, big and small, in Liangzhou City were caught by Baiqisi?" What do you say to that group of thieves who took advantage of me?"
Song Sen said with a bitter face: "Uncle Li, can we speak some truth? The spy does not have the word spy engraved on his face, and Baiqisi does not dare to make Liangzhou City angry and resentful. It's normal for a spy not to be found out. After all, Baiqisi is not a god in the sky..."
Li Qinzai added: "Then let's talk about another thing. Didn't you set up an spy in Chengguanyi? You didn't find out that the two countries' missions conspired to assassinate me? If I hadn't been lucky, you wouldn't have been able to do it right now. They have been made into pottery figurines..."
Song Sen was stunned: "Why was I made into a pottery figurine?"
"Bury him with me. If I have any shortcomings, do you think you won't be held accountable? Song Sen, Bai Qisi can't do it. Don't brag in front of me in the future. I don't have the shame to listen."
Song Sen suddenly looked like a frail middle-aged man who was complained by his mother-in-law. He sighed and said with vicissitudes of life and shortness of breath: "Baiqisi just came to Liangzhou. I was too tired on the road. I am not in good condition this time..."
Li Qinzai glanced at him sideways: "If you're not in good condition, take some medicine. I'll chat with you more until the medicine gets stronger..."
Song Sen looked around and said to him: "Uncle Li County, after arriving in the desolate Liangzhou City, I realized that the scenery here is unique. We have lived in Chang'an in such a hurry these years. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye, as if It seems like it was all in vain, which is very sad.”
Li Qinzai sneered. When a man is weak, his thoughts are particularly deep. He talks about literature and philosophy, reflects on life, and examines himself. In short, he is just waiting for the medicine to take effect...
"I'll let you go this time. Let's settle the score after we return to Chang'an. In the coming days, Baiqisi had better stand up for me and don't force me to file a complaint against you in front of His Majesty," Li Qinzai said.
Song Sen felt relieved and hurriedly agreed, just like a husband who had been given permission by his mother-in-law not to pay the public food tonight, he breathed a sigh of relief and was mixed with a hint of humility.
"Uncle Li, the gang of thieves who stole the three-eyed gun are here." Song Sen came here specifically to report the good news.
"Who is the mastermind behind them?"
Song Sen whispered: "The Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, your purple-eyed dancer from the Western Regions was also sent by Lu Dongzan. The purpose was to use the three-eyed gun. During the battle at Jishi Mountain, Lu Dongzan was captured by our Tang Dynasty. I was frightened by the three-eyed gun. Lu Dongzan was very interested in this thing and strictly ordered to get it."
"It is said that the purple-eyed dancer was adopted by Lu Dongzan since she was a child. Her origin seems to be related to the destroyed Loulan. Lu Dongzan values her very much. I didn't expect that she would fall into your hands this time."
Li Qinzai asked curiously: "In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Loulan Kingdom was destroyed overnight. Was it the Tang Dynasty that did it?"
Song Sen smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Li County, what happened decades ago, who knows? Besides, in the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty fought a decisive battle with the Turks. That war spread to many countries in the north and west, and some small countries and tribes were in chaos. Under this situation, it is normal for them to be destroyed casually. When the army is launched, it cannot take care of so much, so it will be destroyed."
"At that time, General Li Jing, Duke of Wei, attacked the Turks from the north, drove the Turks from the north to the west, and pursued them all the way. The strategic purpose was not only to eliminate the Tang Dynasty's future troubles forever, but also to open up the trade route between the Tang Dynasty and the countries in the Western Regions."
"The Loulan Kingdom is stuck on this trade road, with only a few thousand troops. Moreover, the country has been fawning and swinging for hundreds of years. With General Li Jing's strategy, of course this small country must be wiped out smoothly, so that the trade routes in the Western Regions can be unimpeded. .”
Li Qinzai nodded, he probably understood.
Some historical truths can only be buried in the dust forever. Only people of this era can understand the pros and cons, and cannot be recorded in official history.
Only by destroying the Loulan Kingdom will the Silk Road from Yumen Pass to Anxi Protectorate in the Tang Dynasty be smooth. For the benefit of the Tang Dynasty, even if Li Qinzai possessed Li Jing, he would probably make the same choice.
"So, Datang is really her sworn enemy..." Li Qinzai sighed with regret.
Song Sen whispered: "Uncle Li, the thief has been captured, no one has escaped the net, and the matter has been investigated clearly. What should we do with the group of thieves?"
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said nothing.
Song Sen understood, and immediately said: "Yes, I will arrange for all of these thieves to be beheaded."
Li Qinzai shook his head and said, "Leave them alive."
Song Sen said in astonishment, "Why?"
"When they were grabbing three-eyed guns last night, they could have killed the five soldiers patrolling outside the house, but they only wounded our soldiers and did not kill anyone. Since they spared their lives, I will repay them once. This kind of The life and death of the little minions are not important."
Song Sen asked again: "Where is the purple-eyed dancer who is locked up in the prison?"
Li Qinzai glanced at him: "I bought her with money. How about I bleed her to make you happy?"
Song Sen was excited and immediately became wise: "No, it's not necessary. Haha, I'm just asking casually. You, County Uncle Li, decide for yourself whether that girl will live or die."
