Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 735 Chapter 754: Li Hao's anger
When the court was over, it was almost evening, and Ma Zhou returned to Zhongshu Province, and immediately ordered Shusheren to draw up the first draft of the imperial edict. After he checked it, he submitted it to Li Zhi. .

After sending the imperial decree to Menxia Province, Li Zhi summoned Li Yuanzhong, General of the Jinwu Guard and General of the Habayashi Army, and said, "Li Yuanzhong, this time you take someone to pick up Li Hao and take care of him along the way. Don't be tired, if he is tired, you must not rush on your way..."

He was worried about Li Hao, so he gave a lot of instructions, Li Yuanzhong listened silently, and when Li Zhi finished speaking, he bowed his head and saluted: "I would like to obey the holy order!"

"Also!" Li Zhi suddenly said, "Don't tell him about the news of the father's death. Li Hao has no resentment, but I am worried about Qinghai Wei. Qinghai Wei must be very dissatisfied, if we let them know about the death of the emperor, I am afraid something will happen, right now is the cusp, if there is a mutiny, even if I want to protect him, I will not be able to protect him."

"Yes." Li Yuanzhong nodded.

"Well, go to the Ministry of War and wait for the imperial edict."

Li Yuanzhong immediately withdrew from the Ganlu Hall and went to the Ministry of War to wait for the imperial decree. The imperial decree of the Tang Dynasty was drafted by the Zhongshu Province, checked and sealed by the emperor, then submitted to the Menxia Province for approval, and finally executed by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, because this imperial decree involved military power. So in the end it was sent to the Ministry of War, and Li Yuanzhong also needed the approval of the Ministry of War to set off with five hundred feathers.

Li Yuanzhong got the imperial decree and approval document from the Ministry of War, went to the forbidden camp to take away the five hundred forest troops, and set off immediately. It was already dark and the city gate was closed, but it didn't matter, Li Yuanzhong had the imperial decree and the urgent official document of the Ministry of War in hand After the city guard general asked Shangfeng for instructions, he immediately opened the city gate for him.

On the snow-covered plateau, the weather is clear, the sky is blue and cloudless. Although the sun is shining, the temperature here is still cold, and the snow on the ground seems to have never melted.

It has been more than 30 days since the last time the Tubo army was defeated. Li Hao also explained in the letter to Fan Lihua that he should pay attention to the city every day and wait for the sound of the black crow's arrows. Absolutely, three arrows, attack the city.

Just one day after receiving Li Hao's letter, arrows sounded in the city, and Fan Lihua was extremely excited, thinking that there was already a food shortage in the city, and it would never take more than seven days from food shortage to food shortage. The timing will never exceed ten days.

During this period of time, Garqin Mausoleum sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Tang army many times, but they were all rejected by Fan Lihua. Galqin Mausoleum had no choice but to prepare to escape. He planned the escape route for three days. It is difficult to defend, but if it is captured, it is a big problem to escape, because the surrounding mountains are all around, which surround Tubo into a huge cage, which also leads to a situation where there is no way to escape once the army is defeated.

The Garqin Mausoleum deliberated for a long time, and finally set the escape location in Congling, the most northwest of Tubo. Congling has two countries, namely Xiaobolu and Bohe. These two countries are dependent on Tubo to survive. The total strength of the two countries is less than [-]. If he leads a large army, the rulers of the two countries will not dare not accept him. If he gets there and the Tang army pursues him, he can flee west to the Western Regions, as long as he does not enter the Great Wall. Tang's Anxi four towns within range.

After seeing the sounding arrows in the city, Fan Lihua immediately sent a fast horse to deliver a letter to Li Hao, telling Li Hao about the matter. The fast horse galloped all the way and delivered the letter to Li Hao two days later.

After Li Hao read the letter in the caravan, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, everything went so smoothly, and finally the food shortage in Tubo came to an end.After he was happy, Li Hao began to write to Fan Lihua, telling her to be careful, because he had already calculated that there were only two options for the Garqin Mausoleum, one was to attack the whole army, and the other was to lead the army to escape, and if he escaped , only to the west.

Li Hao had already thought through all the actions of Garqin Mausoleum in advance. Although he couldn't go to lead the army himself, he really planned a strategy and won a thousand miles.

As soon as the letter was written, before it could be handed over to the messenger, Lu Yun suddenly came to report: "My lord, there are hundreds of cavalry coming here from the northeast, and the speed is very fast! I don't know if they are enemies or friends!"

"Oh? From the direction of Datang?" Li Hao frowned and stuffed the written letter into his arms, picked up the binoculars, opened the car door and got out of the car. Sure enough, he saw hundreds of people riding towards here in the distance from the northeast. Qinghai Guards began to deploy their defenses one after another, as if they were facing an enemy.

Li Hao looked through the binoculars, immediately smiled, and said, "Don't be nervous, my own people are Li Yuanzhong and Habayashi Jun, eh, no..."

Li Hao suddenly frowned and said to himself in doubt: "Why did Li Yuanzhong bring the Yulin Army here?" He had a vague premonition, and this premonition became stronger and stronger.

Not long after, Li Yuanzhong came to Li Hao's car with a brigade of the Habayashi army. Li Yuanzhong dismounted and walked in front of Li Hao, bowing his hands and saying, "King Qiongnan."

"General Li, it's been a long time." Li Hao handed the binoculars to Lu Yun, cupped his hands casually, and asked with a smile on his face, "Why did General Li come to Tibet all the way? .”

"King Qiongnan is really good at joking." Li Yuanzhong smiled wryly and said with a serious face, "King Qiongnan, I have ordered you to come back for my humble duty."

"Call me back?" Li Hao frowned when he heard the words, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and asked, "What happened?"

"Alas..." Li Yuanzhong sighed and said, "I can't say a word or two clearly, let's listen to the imperial decree first!"

"Is there still an imperial decree?" Li Hao's face became more gloomy when he heard the words. As expected, Li Yuanzhong's sudden arrival would definitely not be a good thing. Although he was his friend, he did not bring any good news this time. Facing Lu Yun and Xiong Da Xiong Er, he said: "Quickly prepare the incense case, and welcome the imperial edict!"

Lu Yun and Xiong Da Xiong Er hurriedly started preparing the incense case.

Li Yuanzhong beckoned to the rear, and a Yulin army presented an imperial edict. After Li Hao prepared the incense table, Li Yuanzhong unfolded the imperial edict, and said loudly: "Li Hao, the general manager of the Luoxi Road, accepts the edict!"

"My minister Li Hao accepts the order!" Li Hao bowed to receive the order.

Li Yuanzhong began to read: "The imperial edict said: Li Hao, the general manager of the marching army, marched outside without the emperor's order. He transferred the military power privately, and he was carrying a heavy responsibility, but he didn't know where he was... Today, he was taken away from the post of the general manager of the marching. Li Yuanzhong escorted him back to Chang'an, and imprisoned him in the prison of Dali Temple, waiting for the holy judgment!"

After reading the imperial decree, Li Hao stood there for a long time without saying a word. He was in a very complicated mood, depressed, angry, in short, very bad, he wanted to scold someone, but he didn't know who to scold, did he scold Li Shimin?He didn't believe that this was Li Shimin's idea. After all, it was Li Shimin who wanted to attack Tubo at the beginning. The excessive aggrieved and angry made Li Hao's eyes red, and tears were swaying in his eyes, as if they were about to fall at any time.

Seeing Li Hao's appearance like this, Li Yuanzhong felt sore. He has also fought in wars and knows how difficult it is to fight abroad. Now that the Tang army has gained the upper hand, he is forced to withdraw because of the DPRK-China party struggle. How embarrassing it is Qu's matter, but now that the imperial decree has been issued, the flood is hard to recover, everything is a foregone conclusion, Li Yuanzhong can only mourn in silence, and sighed helplessly: "King Qiongnan, accept the decree."

Li Hao stepped forward to accept the imperial edict silently, tried his best to maintain a calm tone, and said slowly: "This is not what His Majesty meant."

Li Yuanzhong nodded and said, "Your Majesty was also forced."

Li Hao turned his head and looked around, and suddenly said coldly: "Everyone retreat twenty feet away!"

Lu Yun and Xiong Da Xiong Er immediately separated by [-] zhang. Li Yuanzhong knew that Li Hao had something private to say, so he also asked the Yulin army to retreat [-] zhang.

After they all backed away, Li Hao said: "Tell me, whose idea is this? Is it Changsun Wuji?"

Li Yuanzhong nodded with a helpless wry smile: "Your Majesty is smart, and he guessed right. Changsun Wuji, together with other officials, said that you intended to rebel and wanted to take you back for interrogation. Although His Majesty tried his best to protect you, he was powerless."

"I understand." Li Hao nodded, and said slowly, "The struggle for power is detrimental to the country. I didn't expect to enjoy Yue Fei's experience once in my lifetime. Changsun Wuji is determined to be Qin Hui."

Li Yuanzhong asked suspiciously: "Who is Yue Fei? Who is Qin Hui?"

Naturally, Li Hao couldn't answer him who is Yue Fei and who is Qin Hui. He turned his head and pointed in the direction of Luoxi City, and said, "Fan Lihua is leading an army under Luoxi City. You must go to announce the order to her. Hurry up." Come on, I won't keep you."

Li Yuanzhong said: "It's my duty, I must take you with me."

Li Hao smiled miserably: "If you want my life, take me with you."

Li Yuanzhong was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "What does the prince say?"

Li Haodao: "As I said before, Tubo is located in a plateau area. It is difficult for us Central Plains people to adapt to the plateau climate when we come here, and we will suffer from altitude sickness. Don't you, General Li, have altitude sickness?"

"Naturally, I feel very uncomfortable." Li Yuanzhong said, "I'm weak, and my chest feels like a boulder is pressing on it, and it's cramped."

"This is altitude sickness." Li Hao said slowly, "Some people have severe altitude sickness, and I am the kind of person with very severe altitude sickness. Look at me, my lips are purple, my face is pale, and I have to walk very strenuously. There is a higher mountain pass ahead, which is more than 400 feet higher than here, and the altitude sickness will reach its maximum. If I get there, I’m afraid I’ll pass out, and if I’m not lucky, I’m afraid my life will die.”

Li Yuanzhong stared at Li Hao dumbfounded when he heard the words, he couldn't believe it was true, but he saw that Li Hao's face was pale and his lips were purple, it was indeed a strong altitude sickness symptom, because there were so few people in the Habayashi Army This symptom appeared a few days ago, and he was too weak to ride a horse. Li Yuanzhong specially sent someone to send him back to Qinghai Wei Castle.

"Let's go find Fan Lihua." Li Hao said slowly, "I'm waiting for you here, bring me a letter to her, she has a strong temper, and this time she is personally leading the army to defeat the enemy, she wants to persuade you It's very difficult to move her, I have to write a letter myself."

Li Yuanzhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Okay!"

Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll write a letter." After speaking, he turned back and walked back to the RV.

Less than a minute after Li Hao returned to the RV, he came out with a letter in his hand. He handed the envelope to Li Yuanzhong and said, "Thank you very much."

Li Yuanzhong nodded, stuffed the letter into his bosom, turned around and left, came to the front of the Yulin army, got on his horse and shouted: "Continue on the road!" Then he bypassed Li Hao's camp and headed towards some cities. go.

Watching Li Yuanzhong leave, Li Hao turned around and looked in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light shining in his eyes, he wanted to make a fist, but he didn't have the strength to do so.

To be honest, he himself doesn’t like staying in the plateau, because he feels like a useless person staying here. The plateau is his forbidden area. He wants to go back, but not now. After all, it took so much manpower and material resources to come here, and many soldiers were sacrificed. Seeing that some cities are already in food shortage, and after another month, they can be captured, but Changsun Wuji stabbed him in the back , This stabbing really hurts.

"Elder Changsun, you wait." Li Hao gritted his teeth and whispered slowly, "Don't you want me to go back, then I will go back, you wait for me in Chang'an!"
