Chapter 217: The Battle of Yaozhou (2)

A few months later, someone mentioned the kindness of Prince Tang again at Zhuosa. Prince Tang must have been angry with the angrily kicked hard on the ground with calfskin boots. Of course, she didn't know that if it weren't for Jiang Ke's death, she might have let the Tang Dynasty scout kidnap and marry the declining powerful minister. Jiang Ke suddenly died of illness and stopped the plan. When he sent the scouts over, she had already arrived in Luoshe City, and the scout dared not take action. Then she heard that Prince Tang was here in person, and Tubo attached great importance to it, and let her hear it, and asked Zanpu.

Mang Song was middle-aged and loved this little princess very much, so she let her do whatever she wanted and sent her brother and brave general Qilixu to secretly protect her. After arriving in Erhai Lake, Jimale suddenly had a whim and became a spy to go deep into the Tang army camp. Qilixu and Mangnianda Zhabu refused, and Jimale said that Zanpu agreed. In desperation, he formulated various strategies for her.

It seems to be successful, mainly because I am curious about what the prince who can write those beautiful poems would look like. When I met, I was a little disappointed. Like ordinary people, I had two eyes, one nose, and the other mouth. But after a long time, I was a lecturer in my previous life. In the past two years, I spent most of my life reading books. My temperament was elegant and I was a bit fatal tempting to the kamale who loved Han culture since childhood. But now she is in a good mood, and the most proud thing is to see the turtle eating from Tang Jun and Prince Tang because of herself.

...

It is not easy to attack the city immediately, even if it is made, it is not easy to make a catapult. The improved catapult requires a lot of wood, which is easier to deal with. There are also some machinery, which are built by soldiers, and it is not difficult to deal with. However, there are a lot of cowhide and beef tendons needed, and the materials in the camp are not enough. The next day, cavalry were sent to search everywhere, and horse skin and horse tendons can also be replaced. Until the evening, a large amount of skin and tendons were brought back to the camp.

After dinner, I even made it on a torch.

Li Wei looked and was about to go back. He saw the princess standing among a bush of camellia playing the Qiang flute. He walked over and said, "Are you missing your family?"

"Um."

"Don't worry, after the stone-treating machine is finished, Gu will attack the city the day after tomorrow. After the battle in Yaozhou, Gu's army continued to go west and then sent someone to ask."

"Um."

The evening breeze blows, the skirt flutters, and the temperament is quite good, and there is a kind of wealth in his behavior. This temperament has only been seen in Pei Yuhe, and even Yang Min is not as good as Yang Min. Li Wei secretly wonders what kind of origin this girl is, as a Tubo or Qiang person, who can understand so much Han culture and is very clever. She will definitely not have princesses or princesses or daughters of ministers. There is a comparison. Luo Shengyan is the son of Xinuluo, and she is not very natural when she sees herself.

But he said, "Look at this flower is beautiful."

"Thank you almost."

"It's all tasteless to say this." After saying that, both of them laughed. They stared at camellia again, and then exclaimed.

"Prince, what's wrong with you?"

"There is actually a two-joa."

"What second Joe?"

"Look at this camellia with flowers of two colors, one red and one white, aren't it Er Qiao? It's just that the red is white and the white is purple, and it has become a low-quality product."

It was a woman, and she loved flowers. When he heard him say something interesting, the princess stared at the Erqiao plant and said, "Yes. Then what is the authentic Erqiao?"

"The authentic Erqiao is that the flowers should not be mixed in color, but should be pure," Li Wei thought it was written by Jin Yong when he read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Later, he met a friend who planted camellia and found out that most of them were indeed true. Not only Erqiao, Bachelor of Eighteen, Hexagonal Red, Scarlet Claw Fuchloss, Pink Glow, Kelai De, etc., are all famous products among camellias, and the names they were named to the extreme. He also said: "This is two colors. If it is three colors, it is also called Fengchen Three Heroes. There is also a superior difference. Among the three flowers, the purple one must be the most, which is the curly bearded guest, and the white one is the second, which is Li Jing, the red one is the most beautiful and smallest, and the red one is the girl. If the flower size is wrong, it is the inferior one."

"You are also fun with your Han general Li Jing?"

"The story of the Three Heroes of Fengchen is fabricated by the people, but it is also a beautiful thing. This is a compliment, not an interesting thing. If it is more real, it will be boring."

"Well, that's right, what about?"

"There are many, such as the Five Fortune Stars, Seven Fairies, Eight Treasure Makeup, the ultimate is the Eighteen Bachelor. A camellia has eighteen colors, such as pink, red, white, red stripes on a camellia, and white stripes on a red background. But it cannot be seventeen, that is the Falling Scholar. This is a multi-colored flower. If it is as rich as a peony, pink and beautiful as a dewdrop, it is also a famous species, called Hualuzhen. If there is a touch of green dizzy or a trace of red stripes on a white, it is called scratching the beautiful face. If there are too many red lines, it is not scratching the beautiful face, it is also called lying on the lion. If there are red spots on a white, it is called red makeup and plain wrapping, and the black spots are called full moon. The black spots are the cinnamon branches in the moon. If there are two narrow black spots, it is not called full moon, it is also called eye charm. There are also boy faces..."

Li Wei said a lot, some have already existed, some have not appeared now, and some have been made up of novels.

But after hearing these names, the princess and Wang Dianzi both looked yearning for each other.

"I haven't seen these," said the princess. But she said in her heart that after she went back this time, she would definitely collect the names mentioned by Prince Tang one by one. Even if she collected them for her, she might not be able to carry them to the city of Lushe...

But his eyes glanced at Li Wei, and his eyes looked a little strange.

Just as Qilixu was worried, she was about the same age and loved the Han culture since childhood, and Li Wei was so elegant and interesting. This camellia was even more disturbing. But she was a person who did big things and immediately calmed down and asked, "I wonder if she would take the battle the city the day after tomorrow?"

"It's just that there is no catapult, and the enemy in the city has already taken away the energy, so it's not a problem to take it down. I just don't want more casualties, and I don't have to hurry up in this or two days."

"But casualties are still inevitable. I don't know how many people will die the day after tomorrow."

"I think so too. Ke Ci doesn't control the army. It's a war. There must be sacrifices. I hope that the southwest will be calm after this war." Li Wei sighed, and then said, "The spring fog is getting heavier. Go back and rest early."

"Yeah." He responded, but did not go back immediately, and was still sitting under the stone and playing the Qiang flute.

...

There are also scouts in Tubo.

Several fast horses came to Mangnianda Zhabu, turned over and got off the horse, and said, "Report to the general, the princess notified him with a flute that the general must attack the Tang army tomorrow morning."

"So urgent?"

"It was a stone catapult invented by Prince Tang. It can throw a stone bomb a hundred steps away without ten people. It was made on a large scale in the Tang Dynasty camp. If it was made, it would be difficult for Yaozhou City to stick to it."

"Can it be a hundred steps away?"

"Yes, my subordinates have seen it. Not only is it a hundred steps away, it is easy to operate, but the stone bomb is also very huge. If there were a hundred such catapults in the Tang Dynasty, it would be difficult for Yaozhou City to defend it. Even if there were Lord Ke Du, it would..."

"This Prince of Tang..." Qi Xuli murmured, stopped, frowning. Time was too tight, and the one who had to win this battle was not only the Prince of Tang, but also the Tubo country. Since Songtsen Gampo's death, Zanpu succeeded to the throne. Because of his young age, his uncle's great prime minister Lu Dongzan assisted the government. His cousin Lu Qinling defeated the Tang army again and even defeated Xue Rengui, the number one military god of the Tang Dynasty. The other sons of his uncle's family were all extraordinary, and gradually the Tubo regime was controlled by the Gar family.

Mangnianda Zhabu did not agree very much. The leader was weak and strong, and he would inevitably think of trouble. In the end, no matter who wins and who loses, Tubo will be seriously weakened. He himself was loyal to the royal family, but Zanpu did not listen and he could do nothing. This great victory will strengthen the momentum of the imperial sect. If it fails, in contrast to Lunqinling, their father and son will be more powerful.

After thinking for a while, my thoughts turned back and asked, "Where is the princess?"

"The princess should be fine for the time being. The Tang Dynasty army is respectful to them because of the medical skills of the female medical officer Mangdianzi."

Mangnianda Zhabu thought about it and it was probably not possible to recall the princess. Once it was recalled, the Tang army would definitely be alert. When attacking, it would be necessary to instruct their subordinates to pay attention. However, they would attack tomorrow morning, and the time was too tight. But they did not dare to bet. Once the Tang army took down Yaozhou, there was a strong city to defend and the morale was strong, and this battle would be in danger. In just a few days, they did not expect this change in the situation. They were very unwilling. They had originally expected that the Tang army would not dare to attack Yaozhou City, or used some strategies, as long as they could not stand, they would consume the Tang army's spirit. It seemed that they had reached it. After the Tang Dynasty forced back to Yaozhou, morale fell to a low point, but...

After thinking about it, he still began to order: "You should inform Qilixu when you go back and pay close attention to the safety of the princess."

"yes."

He came to Meng Jian again and said, "You sent out your five thousand subordinates to divide them into several teams to search each intersection carefully. No matter what stranger you are, you will be killed."

This time it was a surprise soldier, but the Tang Dynasty was very careful and sent out many scouts. Tens of thousands of people came here, and it was impossible not to be discovered. In fact, as long as the Tang Dynasty scout was sealed during the day, at night, it would be safe and sound. A night march would arrive at the city of Yaozhou in the early morning tomorrow and attack the defenders in the city. The number of people was several times that of the other party. The princess notified again that every night, the Tang army thought that the defenders in the city were not very prepared. So he made a contribution.

"Yes." Meng Jian went down like a grandson. Seeing thousands of local soldiers going out in a row, Mangnianda Zhabu ordered: "Strike."

Before the sun could rise, Meng Jian and Tubo's three coalition forces, a total of 25,000 people, including 12,000 Tubo's troops, began to rush to Yaozhou.
