- Chapter 39 Sleeping together
Du He hid in the dark, looking at the martial arts masters who had been trapped in Yaochi, and the most worrying thing in his heart disappeared. If the internal strife was eliminated, what would happen to the external worries?
But there was something unclear in his mind. As the eldest son of Xiangxiong Kingdom, why would Bi Longxiu foolishly take this risk?
In fact, this is due to Du He's ignorance. Not all countries believe in the inheritance law of the eldest son like the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty. Just like in the West, the power of Western religions is greater than anything else, even higher than imperial power. If a king wants to succeed to the throne, he needs to kneel before the pope to accept his appointment.
Xiang Xiong was a little surprised by this, but it was similar. It's just that Western countries believe in God Jesus, while Xiangxiong believes in ghosts and gods. Their sect is called Bon. He attaches great importance to ghosts and gods, and likes divination and witchcraft. He believes that all things have animism, that there is a god in the sky, and that the god is the most respected. Mountains have mountain gods and mountain demons, and trees have dryads. There are dragons in rivers, lakes, mountain springs, and underground. If people suffer from disasters and diseases, they are all caused by offending gods and ghosts.
When Bi Longxiu was born in his early years, there was heavy snowfall, the snow peaks collapsed, and more than ten thousand people of Xiangxiong Kingdom were buried under the snow. The great wizard of Xiangxiong Kingdom blamed Bi Longxiu, saying that he was a disaster star descending to earth.
Although the King of Xiangxiong Kingdom did not treat Bi Longxiu badly because of this, he had no intention of passing the throne to him. If it weren't for the incompetence of the second son, the king of Xiangxiong Kingdom would have abdicated long ago.
Originally, Bi Longxiu still had some hope, because he was 250, while his younger brother was 850, which was far inferior to him. However, the rise of Yaochi made Bi Longxiu feel the pressure. Xiangxiong Kingdom did not object to a woman becoming king. Two hundred years ago, there was a history of queens.
Therefore, although Bi Longxiu is the eldest son and the first heir, the possibility of inheriting is very slim. Finally, under temptation, he embarked on the road of no return.
As an outsider, it is impossible for Du He to understand this.
Of course he doesn¡¯t need to understand, it¡¯s just out of human curiosity and random thoughts.
With the help of Yaochi, Du He secretly had a meeting with the King of Xiangxiong Kingdom.
King Xiangxiong was already suffering from illness, and now his spirit was even worse because of Bi Longxiu, but he still managed to gather his energy to welcome Du He, the Celestial General.
The meeting was very simple. King Xiangxiong politely expressed his admiration for the Tang Dynasty, and then expressed his gratitude to Du He for coming to help.
As a general of the Celestial Dynasty, Du He also expressed the importance that the Tang Dynasty attached to Xiangxiong's ally, telling him that the Tang army would definitely make Tibet pay the price for what they had done, and also revealed his determination not to give up until Tibet was destroyed. .
King Xiangxiong's face was also flushed at this time. He stood up and said roughly: "General, don't worry, although our Xiangxiong Kingdom is in trouble, we are still willing to help Datang even if we use all the strength of the country."
¡°Tibet invaded his country and destroyed his home. They also asked a lowly slave girl to seduce his son and make his son commit treasonous acts. This made him hate Tubo to the extreme. In my lifetime, if I can see the demise of Tubo, I will laugh out loud in my dreams.
At the same time, King Xiang Hung, whose time is running out, is making his final efforts for his country.
Today is not what it used to be. Today's Xiangxiong is no longer the overlord of the past. Because of the invasion of Tibet, the loss of strength is so great that ordinary people can't imagine it.
Today¡¯s Shang Hung has reached a point where everyone can bully him. None of the surrounding countries is kind. If Shang Hung wants to survive in this environment, he cannot do without the support of the Tang Dynasty.
Now that we are fully cooperating with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will definitely remember this support, and Xiangxiong Kingdom will also receive different treatment.
Du He understood King Shang Hung¡¯s intention and had no objection to it. This is a win-win situation. Xiangxiong cooperates with the Tang Dynasty and supports the Tang Dynasty, while the Tang Dynasty reciprocates and provides Xiangxiong with convenience. It is precisely because of this relationship that we can keep in touch with each other for a long time.
Du He said bluntly: "We in the Tang Dynasty will not let any enemy go, nor treat any ally badly. Du will truthfully report to His Majesty everything King Xiangxiong did today."
When King Xiangxiong heard this promise, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As for how to deal with the current situation, I will trouble the general to discuss it with my daughter. I have entrusted her with the future of Xiangxiong Kingdom."
There is no rule in Xiangxiong Kingdom that women cannot succeed to the throne, but there are some unwritten rules in the world, such as favoring sons over daughters. It's not that King Xiangxiong doesn't love Yaochi, but after all, women will marry with a different surname, unable to pass on the bloodline, and he has no intention of letting women inherit the throne, but now he has to do this.
"Father?" Yaochi didn't know what to say. She had no desire to compete, but she couldn't sit back and watch Xiangxiong's country be destroyed, so she stepped forward when she was in danger.
King Xiangxiong has made up his mind and will not allow Yaochi to say more.
Du He and the others did not stay in Qionglong Yincheng for a while, and then rushed to Pingdu Mountain Pass.
As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Yaochi can allocate troops and horses at will, change the defense, and leave a gap for Du He to penetrate, which is a piece of cake.
Under the cover of night, Du He sneaked into Yaochi's camp without spending much effort. Du He seemed a little restrained as he smelled the fragrant tent.
Yaochi is also trying to keep his composure, without any sense of calmness.
Seeming to feel a little embarrassed, Yaochi found a topic and said: "My father asked me to fully cooperate with your actions. The Tibetan army is standing still. How should we fight to help you defeat the enemy?"
Du He immediately replied: "I don't know that either, I have to wait a while. I know nothing about the current situation in Tibet. I don't know who is leading the troops across the Pingdu Mountain Pass or how many troops there are. I can't prescribe the right medicine." My people are already collecting intelligence and will get the news soon, and the specific decision will not be made until then."
He had several plans in mind, but because he didn't know the enemy's situation, he didn't know whether the enemy general was wise or mediocre, reckless or calm, so it was difficult to decide.
"It's getting late, so let's rest early. I've only had a few days of free time. Soon, there will be a war, and there won't even be a chance to rest." Du He said, walking to the horse post in the tent, leaning sideways , indicating that this is his bed.
Yaochi hesitated to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything. He quietly took off his clothes and put on the quilt.
After a while, Yaochi whispered: "Are you asleep?"
Du He just narrowed his eyes and immediately replied: "What's wrong? No?"
Yaochi said: "It must be very cold. Otherwise, you can sleep here too. The bed is so big that each of us can take half of it."
"Uh" Du He hesitated, "This is not appropriate"
Yaochi said: "In emergencies, don't worry about so many pulls. Keep your clothes closed, it won't be a problem."
"Okay!" Du He compromised, and Shi Shiran came to the bed and found that the bed was not as big as expected, but the two of them had almost perfect figures, so it was okay to squeeze in. Having already arrived in front of the bed, it was hard to refuse, so I got in carefully.
After a while, Yaochi said again: "I can't sleep because my clothes are stuck on me. How about taking off my clothes? I can't see you anyway"
"Okay!" Du He hesitated for a while and then took off his clothes.
After a while, Yaochi suddenly trembled.
"What happened again?" Du He asked aloud.
"Come closer, it's a little cold." Yaochi said, putting one side of her delicate body next to Du He's, and then said: "Don't you Tang people have some kind of peace of mind? The one named Liu Hehui, as long as If you don¡¯t cross the line, it¡¯s nothing!¡±
Du He suddenly felt that he had become a little loli being teased and manipulated by the 'weird uncle'. He thought to himself: "This is playing with fire. Not everyone can reach Liu Xiahui's state"
Satisfied, Yaochi leaned her head on Du He's shoulder and fell asleep deeply.
However, Du He suffered from insomnia and kept counting sheep, wandering between the beasts and the beasts.
In the end, I didn¡¯t do anything and fell asleep in a daze.
" Du He is used to sleeping with his wife in his arms and sleeping alone, which is peaceful. But when there is another person beside him, and she is a woman, he is not so comfortable.
**********
Outside Anshi City.
The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Tang Dynasty had already set up camp on the outside and set up a formation.
Li Daozong looked at Anshi City from a high place and felt that it was a bit difficult.
After the Tang Dynasty's army entered Goguryeo's territory, one word can be used to describe it as "powerful".
Pioneer general Su Dingfang led a group of tiger and wolf troops to conquer the four cities of Xuantu, Hengshan, Gaimou, and Momi, and faced off against Goguryeo's 20,000 main force at the foot of Momi City.
The victorious army, which had not seen blood for a long time, howled and defeated Goguryeo, almost annihilating them all, forcing Goguryeo to retreat and defend.
Li Daozong took advantage of the momentum of his great victory and captured all the cities such as Baiyan, Bisha, Maigu, Yinshan, Houhuang, etc., and finally arrived outside Anshi City.
Ansi City is the strongest fortress and the only way to the hinterland of Goguryeo.
Historically, it was because the city was so dangerous and difficult to attack that Li Shimin was forced to withdraw his troops.
Li Daozong was well versed in the art of military warfare, and he could tell at a glance that Anshi City was not as easy to deal with as the other cities he had encountered earlier.
"A strong attack is not the answer Your Majesty does not give you enough time. You cannot wait to temporarily build siege equipment. You should useTushan shortened the gap between them and used powerful crossbows to suppress the city. "
Li Daozong muttered to himself, thinking about ways to defeat the city.
At this moment, Su Dingfang came in a hurry and reported: "General Manager, a man came from outside the camp. He said he was ordered by General Qinglian to see the General Manager."
Li Daozong was surprised and calmly asked Su Dingfang to invite someone in.
The person who came was none other than Xuanyuan Tian years ago. Because Li Shimin had been stubbornly resisted in Anshi City in history, Du He knew that Anshi City would definitely become the biggest threat to the Western Expeditionary Army.
Before the Tang Dynasty sent troops, Du He had already arranged for the Xuanyuan clan to move into Anshi City and prepared to capture this fortress.
Today is the time to use force.
When Li Daozong got the good news, he made a prompt decision and made arrangements. Together with the Xuanyuan family, he cooperated internally and externally to take control of Anshi City.
The lord of Anshi City, Yang Wanchun, the number one general under Yuansu Gaiwen, asked the warrior Xue Wanche to kill him with one shot. The Tang army officially opened the door to invade the hinterland of Goguryeo. - Didn't finish reading?
