Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 206 Breakout, breakout (1)

"Ah Qiu, ah Qiu!"

The nights on the plateau are extremely cold. Although it is not yet winter, the temperature is already appallingly low. Although it is not so cold that it turns into ice, the frost on the place every morning makes people feel dizzy. The numbness, coupled with the altitude sickness, made even people with such profound skills as Li Xian feel a little unbearable. Even if they hid in a thick tent, they could be hit by a gust of cool air leaking in from the curtain. When the wind blew, Li Xian couldn't help but sneezed twice.

"Your Highness, are you okay?"

The new captain Liu Ziming, who was waiting on the sidelines, couldn't help but panic when he heard something was wrong. He hurriedly asked, and hurried to get a blanket for Li Xian to put on.

"fine."

Li Xian's personal guard captain Ling Zhong stayed in Babaochuan due to injuries, and the deputy captain was killed in the encounter yesterday, so Li Xian transferred Liu Ziming to his side to listen to him because of his loyalty Liu Ziming was so nervous, Li Xian smiled gratifiedly, and waved his hand to reject Liu Ziming's kindness.

"Your Highness, it's freezing cold today. If you don't pay attention, you will suffer. You should add a leather jacket."

After thinking about it, Liu Ziming was still uneasy, and took out a captured silver fox vest from the package, and wanted to put it on for Li Xian. This time, Li Xian did not refuse, took the leather vest with a smile, and put it on casually. shoulder, then stood up, beckoned and said: "Ziming, let's go, let's go to see the soldiers."

"Ai."

Liu Ziming responded honestly, and ran to the door curtain in a few strides, stretched out his hand to lift the door curtain, and let Li Xian out of the big tent, then followed Li Xian closely with the handle of the knife in his hand.

Li Xian's army camp was stationed under an unknown hill. It was not large in scale. There were more than two hundred tents crowded together, which seemed a bit messy. There was not even a gate, and only some antlers, tripping ropes, etc. were arranged. As an early-warning facility, the obstacles are really pitifully simple, there is no way, it’s not that Li Xian is not particular, he really doesn’t have the time to clean up, the blame can only be blamed on the Tubo people for chasing them too closely—these days, the Tubo people have changed After learning the tactics, nearly 20 troops were dispatched in units of [-] people to conduct a dragnet search. Once the whereabouts of the Tang army were found, not only the enemy in front of him would fight the Tang army regardless of the cost, but the rest of the Tubo army would be like mad dogs. If Li Xian hadn't always responded properly, the whole army would have been besieged long ago. If so, after several days of hard fighting, the number of troops was already very serious. Now there are only a little over four thousand troops left, and what annoys Li Xian even more is that the Tubo army, regardless of the danger of marching at night, pursues them desperately, making Li Xian's troops sometimes have to change camps several times a night In order to save energy, Li Xian didn't bother to set up military camps according to the routine. However, Li Xian still didn't dare to save the basic deployment of light and dark sentries and floating sentries. It was precisely because of this that Li Xian was able to do it. Repeatedly turned danger into miracle.

"Your Highness."

Li Xian had just left the tent of the Chinese army, when he happened to meet a group of sentries passing by, the crowd waited to see Li Xian, they hurriedly saluted.

"Ah."

Li Xian nodded with a smile, waved his hands to signal everyone to perform their official duties, but he led Liu Ziming slowly to the group of tents not far away, intending to walk around among the soldiers, and to ask them about their health for the last time—— Don't look at this kind of behavior as if it's not a big deal, but it is one of the best ways to win the morale of the army. Sometimes it is more effective than heavy rewards. Li Xian knows this truth better than anyone else. Therefore, whenever it is time to camp, No matter how tired he is, Li Xian will never forget this move.

"... His mother's Tubo dogs are really rampant, and I am so angry that I killed this gang of thieves with one knife!"

"Blow it, Liu Scar, you can blow it, you kid isn't the fastest escaper among us!"

"Tch, it's not that I want to escape, okay? It's His Highness's order. If not, we will fight with Tubo dogs!"

"That's the reason. Alas, it's not a big head to run around like this. If you keep running like this, people can do it, and the horses will die. Is it possible to use your legs to return to the pass?"

"Guanzhong, oh, I don't know if I can go back? Our girl should know how to call her father, oh..."

"Ugh……"

Li Xian casually walked to the tent closest to the Chinese military tent, and was just about to lift the curtain of the tent, but he heard the voices of people talking from inside. After a moment, he stood still and quietly He listened intently, and his brows furrowed involuntarily—the morale of a war is fought, especially when you are running around in the encirclement of the enemy, it must be maintained by the morale of tenacity, and now the guerrilla warfare has been fought. For more than half a month, the morale of the army will inevitably decline. Moreover, it is almost winter, and it is obviously not feasible to continue running like this. This is clear in Li Xian's heart. I am afraid that the officers and soldiers in the formation can also think of it. At this time, it is obviously impossible to rely on words to boost morale.

"Your Highness..."

Liu Ziming, who was following Li Xian, saw that Li Xian was in the posture of stretching out his hand, but he didn't move for a long time. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he called out in a low voice.

"Oh, it's okay, let's go."

Hearing the sound, Li Xian immediately woke up from his daydream, shook his head with a solemn expression, and refused to enter the account. He turned around and strode towards the tent of the Chinese army. Compared with the past, his footsteps seemed It was a lot heavier. Obviously, Li Xian's mood was not calm at this moment.

Back to customs?Why doesn't Li Xian want to get out of the dangerous situation quickly, but he can't do this, at least he can't act like this before he gets Anxi's approval, otherwise, there is a danger of wasting all his previous efforts. If it really costs a lot, but If there is nothing to gain, the consequences are not what Li Xian is willing to face. Not to mention that the officials may make a fuss about this matter, nor that the empress Wu and the prince will make a fuss about it, but the rapid rise of Tubo This situation is what Li Xian is 12 times unwilling to see. All in all, no matter how difficult the situation is, Li Xian must win this battle, both public and private!
The key to Anxi lies in Yutian, and the key to Khotan lies in Fu Jiaxiong. The focus of Li Xian's overall plan is on Fu Jiaxiong. Why?It's very simple to say, because Li Xian had a lot of contacts with Fu Yuxiong in his previous life, and he knew what kind of person he was. It is possible to raise the flag of righteousness and return to the Tang Dynasty like in the previous life. What Li Xian has to do is to stage the events that happened in the previous life one year in advance. The danger of collapse is not without danger, but in Li Xian's view, But it's not big, even if it doesn't work, Li Xian has a contingency plan, that is, to push Fu Yuxiong's son Yu Chizhen to the front desk, Li Xian still has this confidence, and this is one of the "benefits" of the reborn, But then again, it is not a matter of course to be sure, and Li Xian does not dare to say whether the affairs of Anxi will go smoothly. Delaying in Qinghai will not allow them to free up their hands to intervene in the battle of Anxi, but to do this, it will have to be delayed for at least another ten days, until winter really comes, and then Li Xian can leave with peace of mind.

Ten days, it doesn't sound like a long time, if it is normal, it will pass in the blink of an eye, but now let alone ten days, it is hard to endure every day, and you have to tense your nerves every moment. Life is simply not human, even though Li Xian was born with a tenacious nature, he still felt a little tired. He lay down on the bed, thinking, thinking, and then fell asleep from exhaustion... "Your Highness, Your Highness, Eagle, Eagle Here comes the eagle..."

I don't know how much time passed, Li Xian was sleeping soundly, but Liu Ziming's excited yelling came from his ears.

"Ok?"

Li Xian raised his head in a little bewilderment, and saw a ray of golden sunlight coming in from the open curtain. Only then did he realize that it was already broad daylight. It was no small miracle.It's just that Li Xian didn't feel sorry for this rare good luck at this time, but shook his head a little dizzily, and said indifferently - Tuyuhun people are good at raising eagles, and they often use them in wartime. As a tool for monitoring the battlefield and communication, the reason why the Tubo people were able to bite Li Xian's troops on the vast plateau these days was because of the eagle eyes provided by the Tuyuhun people. At that time, it meant that the Tubo people's pursuers were not far away. Li Xian had long been accustomed to this, but he didn't take it too seriously. After all, the area of ​​the plateau was too large. The small army under him, relying on their strong mobility, can almost shake off most of the pursuers wherever they go.

"Your Highness, Ashinamoming's eagle has arrived!"

Seeing that Li Xian didn't seem to be able to react, Liu Ziming hurriedly explained.

"Oh? Okay, hurry up, pass it on!"

This time, Li Xian understood everything thoroughly. Overjoyed, he suddenly stood up——Ashina Moming and his brother Ashina Kanning are both Turkic people, and they are the Taoist nephews of Anxi Duhu Ashina. Both of them have the unique skill of raising eagles with one hand. Before Li Xian left Luoyang this time, he ordered these two people to be transferred from Ashina Daozhen to his subordinates, in order to rely on the ability of these two brothers to raise eagles. As a matter of communication, Ashina Kanning went to Khotan with Luo Tong, and Ashina Moming followed Li Xian. Now that the eagle has arrived at this time, it proves that there may be something wrong with Anxi. If you believe it, how could Li Xian not be very excited.

"See Your Highness!"

Now that Li Xian had given the order, Liu Ziming didn't dare to be negligent, and hurried out of the tent of the Chinese army, but after a while, he saw Ashina Moming snatching in from outside the tent with an eagle on his face excitedly.

"no."

Li Xian waved his hand casually, signaling Ashinamo to be polite, then strode over, gently took off the small brass pipe hanging from the eagle's leg, unscrewed the hidden button, and revealed a small With just one squeeze of the wax pill, a small piece of paper full of ciphertext has fallen into the palm of the palm. After opening it, Li Xian's face has shown a relieved smile...
