Tang Xuan

All the way back, the two whispered on horseback, telling each other the many lovesickness after parting.

"I don't believe that you go deep alone just for the sake of Xiao Yutian. Hurry up and tell me your plan clearly! You are well said, I will give you a big gift." Mingda pressed Lang's evil hand on his waist , Angrily said: "If you don't speak well, I will continue to settle accounts with you!"

How to play the game of chess in the Western Regions might be concealed by other people, but to Mingda, she naturally knows everything without saying a word.

"The lone army's surprise attack on Khotan cut off Cong Canglanhu's retreat. The Tibetans have few cavalry, and their speed is not as fast as my Tang Dynasty. In this way, they can only divide their troops to guard, but we can join forces vertically and horizontally to revitalize the whole situation."

"Secondly, what is the situation in Tubo and how much Lang's nails are damaged are unknown. If you want the answer, you have to start from Khotan." Lang Huai looked into the distance and sighed: "Not to mention Uncle Qiao's son Lang Qu is in Khotan, whether public or private, I have to take him back."

"Thirdly, use this as a barrier to deal with Cong Canglanhu. Otherwise, with this person's ambition, if you let him go back to Tubo, I'm afraid that in 20 years, the Western Regions will be full of war again." Lang Huai rested his chin on Mingda's shoulder, and spoke Drift with the wind.

She knew that her father had planned for many years before he won the support of the Western Regions for Datang and regained the four towns.And what she has to do is to inherit Lang Shixin's behest and restore the peace of the Northwest for decades, so as to prevent the Tang Dynasty from being restless and the common people uneasy.

While speaking, he had already arrived at the camp.The news that Mingda had caught up spread like wildfire, and many soldiers ran out, wanting to see the girl's demeanor.

Unlike the previous dynasties, Datang did not object to women joining the army.In the past, there was Princess Pingyan who guarded Niangziguan. After her death, she was buried with military ceremonies and was respected forever by future generations.Now that Mingda joins the army, in the eyes of these veterans, it seems to be the legacy of the Tang royal family.

What's more, all the soldiers know that this time the Pingxi Army's military salary is obviously apportioned by the household department of the imperial court, but the team sent here is Lang's caravan.In addition, Mingda escorted the largest batch of grain and grass to Dunhuang. In their eyes, Mingda was much more kind than the stingy household secretary Tie Jin.

From time to time, a soldier greeted the girl by the side of the road, but Mingda responded with a smile without showing his identity.After the news spread, some bold people often went to Lang Huaizhong's military tent, wanting to see Mingda's true face.After such repeated prohibitions, Lang Huai was also very helpless, this is a later story, so I won't show it for now.

Back outside his tent, Lang Huai said to the Zhu Jun who came up to him, "Take the baby to have a rest. She hasn't eaten yet, so you can pack some as you like." Then Lang Huai looked back and said to Tao Jun, "Go invite Wang Xiong Lin Xianchen said that he had something important to discuss."

There is also a small tent tied up outside the tent of the Chinese army, in which there are insignificant documents and medicinal materials of Lang Huai, and it is now for Mingda to rest.

Reunited after a long absence, Mr. Zhu smiled and said: "I guess the girl is worried, she must be chasing after her. The master said that there are six kings blocking you, so you can't get out. Kucha is beaten like that, how did the girl come here?"

Mingda pointed to the Firefox lying on his lap, and said, "I made a trick, and Brother Six believed it was true, thinking that I had really gone back to Dunhuang. Then I followed this guy's nose all the way, without detours. .”

"Lieutenant Huaidu is so capable? It really gives the girl a face!" Mr. Zhu stroked the furry forehead of Firefox, and said with a smile: "What does the girl eat? It's not as good as Chang'an City now, so I will use it in the future?"

Mingda laughed and said, "I can eat whatever I want, as long as you bring me some clean clothes, right? If you come out in a hurry, your body will stink!"

Zhu Jun responded with a smile, and brought her the Hu clothes that Li Lang Huai replaced on weekdays, and Lan Jun waited for her to put them on. She lit a bowl of soup cakes in a small stove outside, thought for a while, and cracked another egg—— If the Lord cherishes the girl so much, he will give her everything that is good.

Soon everyone was assembled, and Lang Huai ordered Tao Jun to stay outside the tent before coming in, and said to everyone, "Sit down."

There is only boiled brick tea on the table, one bowl for each person, steaming.Lang Huai sat down and said, "Cen Jinglue, let's talk."

Cen Shang nodded slightly, and said: "The sandstorm last night, I think all the commanders are aware of it. I manage the drinking water and food for everyone in the baggage camp. The sandstorm knocked down the water tanker and damaged [-]% of the water. Today, all the troops came to pull Water, I was afraid of causing panic, so I only lowered it by [-]%. What will happen in the future, I ask the general to think of a way, otherwise it will be unsustainable for the next ten days or so."

Ever since Cen Shang managed the military supply, he showed the seriousness he had when he was in the Ministry of War, which made the big soldiers very impatient.No one should think that they can fish out some oil and water from the supply camp, it is inevitable that there will be soldiers who want to make trouble.

Those who have no eyesight but forget that Cen Shang, as a civil servant, can go out with Lang Huai, and his official position is a senior member of the fourth rank. Now in the entire army, only Lu Laosan Wang Xionglinxian and Lang Huai himself can serve as officials. Press down on Cen Shang.Those who cause trouble will naturally be dealt with according to military law, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys.And Cen Shang also erected his first banner of his own in the army - Iron Face Management.

Therefore, although there is a shortage of water distribution today, no one dares to make trouble.

Wang Xiong said: "We've only been here for seven or eight days. Why don't we turn around and wait for drinking water to be replenished before crossing the Dead Sea." No first.

"No. Even if we go back, it will be of no use to count on the few small ponds that we fetched for water that are almost dry. I mean, kill the horse, each person will only provide the minimum water supply, speed up, leave the Dead Sea as soon as possible, and we will have more water." One point of life."

Lang Huai had been thinking about his words for a long time, so he said: "What General Lin said was also considered."

Lu Laosan sighed and said: "Oh, I have a horse with old teeth, but it is still heroic. It survived the battle in the west by chance. If I knew it, I would stay in Chang'an and take care of it for the rest of my life. I didn't expect it. I will personally send it to the King of Hades."

Everyone present except Cen Shang, who has dealt with horses all year round, couldn't help but fell silent, but An Mu couldn't believe it, and said, "Are you going to kill horses? Are you crazy? I absolutely don't agree!"

However, Lang Huaili ignored him and said: "Our army has a lot of cavalry, and there are five cavalry per capita. The consumption is not small. Except for the pack horses of the supply camp, everyone should choose a weak horse to slaughter, and take the horse meat to dry. Set off tomorrow morning, To finish."

She waved to Tao Jun, Tao Jun brought a pen and paper, Lang Huai wrote down the military order with his own hand, and ordered Tao Jun to press the seal.

"Order the commander to inform the three armies immediately, without excuses for delay. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Tao Jun turned around and left the military tent.

An Mu's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Lang Huai, you Han people really crossed the river and demolished bridges! Let me see who dares to touch my Zhuguo camp!"

Lang Huai didn't raise his head, but his voice became cold, and he said: "Your Highness, I was born as a cavalry soldier, and I love my horses as much as you do. But please take a look at the current situation! If there is no water, The ones who will die are the general's soldiers! The soldiers are gone, how can we fight Khotan? If Khotan is not destroyed, the Western Regions will not be pacified, and your nobles from various countries can only die, don't you understand this truth?"

Lu Laosan and the others kept silent, knowing that this Princess An Mu had not been truly killed, and she looked immature, and it would depend on how Lang Huai pointed her out.

An Mu said: "My Zhuguo camp is only one person, two or three riders, if you kill any more, you will lose your arms! I don't agree!"

This really annoyed Lang Huai, she said lightly: "The military order is like a mountain, and those who disobey the order will be cut off. Since the camps of various countries are under the command of this general, there is absolutely no reason to disobey the military order. If anyone dares to resist the order, you will be the general's supervisor Is it a decoration?"

"You dare to threaten me?" An Mu slapped the table and said with a sneer, "Okay, General Lang, you said that I disobeyed the military order and wanted to kill me, but before you kill me, please kill your wife first!"

"No woman in the army is allowed to go in and out at will, not to mention how she left from Qiuci, I don't need to say more about it!" An Mu sneered: "The military order is like a mountain, and please don't play favoritism!"

The tent was instantly as if frozen, and it was eerily quiet.Lang Huai rested his arms on the desk table, crossed his fingers, quietly looked at the furious An Mu, but remembered the first time he was on the battlefield, a thought of kindness cost Wang Xiaoer's life in vain.

How similar to my original self.

Lu Lao Sanlin looked at each other first, thinking how to resolve such a deadlock, but he heard laughter like silver bells outside the tent.

Mingda opened the curtain and came in, said with a smile: "I was in a hurry, I forgot to be serious." The clothes she changed were a little too big, and they were what Lang Huai usually wears.Her long hair was braided and thrown behind her head, her figure was tall and straight, her eyes bright and her teeth bright, she was already comparable to Princess Gucheng, the number one beauty in the Tang Dynasty.

She took out three seals from her bosom, placed them in the case dignifiedly, and said: "Before leaving Chang'an, Your Majesty personally appointed Shangqi Captain, handed over bad people to me, and took charge of bad people, rebuilding Anxi, Tu The Tibetans are not good at establishing a system. And His Majesty ordered me to still keep the Xingdi Xingxi, and do things cheaply."

There are three seals, one is heavier than the other, just now the two of them whispered, Ming Da only felt that Seventh Brother's move was absurd, and before he had time to tell Lang Huai, Lang Huai was also extremely surprised.She came out of the tent after eating and drinking, just in time to hear An Mu talking nonsense, how could Lang Huai be willing to suffer?The guards outside the door dared not stop her, so they could only let her in.

After saying these things, Lu Laosan and Lin Xian both heaved a sigh of relief, and Wang Xiong also smoothed things over, saying: "So that's how it is, the girl has worked hard all the way."

Ming Da sat down next to Lang Huai, took back his seal, and said, "It just so happens that I have something urgent to discuss with you."

"The general pointed his sword at Khotan, so why don't you talk about it. But before I left Chang'an, I went to meet a person—Asuma." Mingda glanced at Lang Huai and said, "This person knows how to repay his kindness, so tell me something. information."

"He said that Rinmo Tsampo's grandson, Long Erxun, is cunning and cunning. He has a blood feud with Cong Canglanhu. He regards him as his lifelong enemy and wants to kill him quickly. When the situation is chaotic, this person will definitely take action."

"In the past he disappeared in Khotan, because the Tang Dynasty was also his sworn enemy at that time. Now that the situation has changed, Long Erson might be of use to my Tang Dynasty." I have a handwritten copy, and with this as a proof, I can accept Long Erson for my own use."

Mr. Lin's mind raced quickly, wondering: "Could it be that Long Erson has stayed in Khotan for so many years?"

Lang Huai acquiesced, interrupted their guessing, and said: "Let's stop here today. Princess An Mu, please go back earlier, don't let those straightforward men lose their lives in vain. As for the loss of horses, I will be from all walks of life. Allocate some in the middle, and won't let Zhuguoying go to the battlefield on their own legs."

Killing the horse was a foregone conclusion, An Mu had no choice but to worry about Lang Huai's wolf-like supervising army, so he hurried back to appease him.

Lang Huai said to Cen Shang again: "General Lin advised Master Cen to manage the water supply and how to distribute the drinking water. I will ask Mr. Cen to decide for himself. I will fully support him. I just ask Mr. Cen to treat everyone equally."

"Yes, don't worry, General." Cen Shang had something to worry about and left in a hurry.

Soon there were only Ming Da and Lang Huai in the tent, Lang Huai just stretched out his hand and pulled Ming Da into his arms.She changed her relaxed expression and said with a smile: "Lieutenant Mingdu, so the big gift you prepared is from Long Erxun."
