Chapter 23 Go to Anxi, 9,900 miles away!

"Good news! Anxi victory!"

When everyone outside Putrajaya saw a red-feathered envoy wearing red armor and three flags riding on horseback, a sudden uproar broke out in the crowd.

In the old Tang Dynasty, the Red Feather Envoy was not allowed to be used unless ten thousand people were killed or more than three towns. Although it is already the Great Zhou Dynasty, the old system is still used.

Since Xue Rengui was defeated by Tubo in Dafeichuan more than 20 years ago, the Tang Dynasty and the newly renamed Dazhou have not heard of the good news from the Red Peel Special Envoy for a long time.

The Red-Ping Knight shouted good news all the way, and walked straight through the people who had already given up the way, and went straight outside Putrajaya: "Report! General of the Right Eagle Yang Guard, General of the Wuwei Road, Wang Xiaojie, and General of the Left Wu Guard, Ashina, were loyal to each other. They defeated Tubo in Kucha and had more than 10,000 heads. The four towns of Anxi have been recovered and the Anxi Protectorate in Kucha are reset!"

After hearing the good news, the scene was quiet.

Chen Zi'ang's eyes were full of disbelief. He put down his crutch and grabbed Li Chongrun's shoulder with one hand, staring at the direction of the Red Peel Special Envoy.

Chen Zi'ang grabbed Li Chongrun's hand and was very strong, and Li Chongrun felt that his shoulders were very painful.

The high-pitched envoy of the Red Peel quickly rang again: "Report! General of the Right Eagle Yang Guard, General of Wuwei Dao Wang Xiaojie and General of the Left Wu Guard Ashina, defeated Tubo in Kucha and beheaded more than 10,000 people. The four towns of Anxi have been recovered and the Anxi Protectorate in Kucha are reset!"

This is three times.

"The Great Zhou Wansheng!" A shout sounded from somewhere, cutting through the silent air at the scene.

Everyone outside Putrajaya, from the previous unbelievable news, slowly turned red after hearing the good news. They were excited by Wan Sheng's shouts, as if they threw a burning torch on the firewood that had been thrown with boiling oil, and instantly gave off a shocking cheer.

Even Chen Zi'ang, who was injured, let go of Li Chongrun's hand, clapped his applause and laughed loudly.

But he jumped on the ground with one foot very funny, a bit like a cockfighting.

Chen Zi'ang was laughing to the sky, but later he remembered something, and the laughter gradually stopped.

In the end, he ignored his foot injury and sat straight onto the ground.

Li Chongrun was afraid that he, a semi-disabled person, would fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped him sit down. But he was close to him, and the macho poet actually started sobbing.

When Li Chongrun helped Chen Zi'ang to sit down, he found that the originally deafening laughter and cheer had dissipated at some point. Even Mr. Song Zhiwen's smirk, who was as happy and angry as Song Zhiwen, raised his clothes and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

As there were sobbing at the scene, the momentum gradually became huge. The adults no longer had their modesty. The sobbing that was originally just inaudible slowly turned into tears.

A few older adults couldn't stand the strong mental excitement for a moment, and cried too hard, and they were already angry. The palace servants who were accompanying him were lifted up in panic and went to the imperial doctor who was accompanying him.

"Sir, I just recovered the four border towns where birds do not shit, why are everyone so excited?" In Li Chongrun's view, the four towns in Anxi are nothing more than a few abandoned towns in the Western Regions where birds do not shit, and at most some border troops are stationed.

"A few small border towns where birds don't shit?" Chen Zi'ang heard Li Chongrun's question, and his sloppy beard bursting like a frightened raccoon cat.

"That's Anxi! Anxi Protectorate! It's Anxi of my Tang Dynasty!" Chen Zi'ang was so excited that he had forgotten that he had changed his reign to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Li Chongrun didn't know why he seemed to have stimulated the fierce poet's Negro Scales. He was afraid that he would suck him in anger, so he suppressed his curiosity and shut up and stopped asking.

Fortunately, after a moment, Chen Zi'ang remembered the little unlucky guy in front of him. He seemed to have been banned within the high palace walls of Luoyang Imperial City since he was born. Naturally, he could not understand the four towns of Anxi, and what they mean to the people of the Tang Dynasty and even the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"In the future, if you have the opportunity to go to Chang'an, there is a stone tablet outside the Kaiyuan Gate northwest of Chang'an. It was written by Yu Shinan, the prime minister of the previous dynasty, who said: Let's go to Anxi here for 9,900 miles."

"In April of the first year of Emperor Gaozong's Xianheng year, Tubo conquered Anxi, and the treacherous gangster Guo Daifeng violated military orders, causing the army to be in trouble, causing Xue Rengui, the General of the Right Guard, to defeat Dafeichuan, and only three of them survived with 140,000 Han gangs."

"This battle is the only major defeat since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!" Chen Zi'ang's tone was filled with a strong crying voice.

"My lords present, who has no relatives and friends died in that miserable defeat twenty years ago?"

"Wang Siye, the younger brother of Wang, was a doctor of the Imperial College and a commander of Chen twenty years ago. Hearing that Anxi had lost his pen and joined the army, he went to General Xue as a counselor of the army and never came back."

"Since the pre-Qin period, my great Chinese people have been shining within the Great Wall, traversing the Qiang, Di and Xiongnu, and countless people have caused trouble to me. Only my Tang Dynasty, without building a brick and tiles of the Great Wall, can shock all foreign races and promote my reputation as a Chinese."

"This is the pride of my Tang Dynasty!"

"And this Battle of Dafeichuan is the pride of my Tang Dynasty! Today, the shame is repaid, and we can finally comfort the spirit of heaven who was stained with blood on the battlefield back then!"

"Master Wang! Have you seen it? My Tang Dynasty has taken Anxi back!"

Since the defeat of Dafeichuan during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, although the Tang people are still proud of the world, this pride is covered with a shadow called Tubo.

It is not until today that Li Chongrun understands why the Tang people are so proud.

He was so proud that even the princes and nobles of foreign countries would have to bow politely when they saw even a commoner in the Tang Dynasty.

As proud as Monk Xuanzang was single, he dared to travel all over the world with the saying "I came from the Tang Dynasty in the East".

He was so proud that even if the entire army was destroyed on the Western Regions Plateau, he had never surrendered to foreign countries.

I am so proud that I dare to erect a monument outside the city gate to tell the world. Thousands of miles away from my home, this country has only one name, called the Tang Dynasty!

Li Chongrun had some clarity in his heart, but a very familiar frontier poem appeared in his heart. He read it softly and comforted Chen Zi'ang:

"The bright moon in the Qin Dynasty was the Han Dynasty, and the people of the Long March had not returned."

"But let the flying general in Longcheng be there, and the Huma will not be able to cross Yinshan."

After hearing this, Chen Zi'ang's cry gradually calmed down. He was sinking into Li Chongrun's sudden heroism, and he also began to recite softly.

"The bright moon in the Qin Dynasty and the Han Dynasty..."

The poems and essays gradually spread in the rising and falling crying, causing more and more singing in the cold east wind in early spring.

It seemed to be to comfort the spirit of the sky, and the mountain was excavated by the dragon gate, and the sound of harmony was singing loudly, with a faint momentum of reaching the sky and passing through the nine springs.

In Putrajaya, Princess Taiping, dressed in a man-like appearance, was about to come forward to report something when she heard the news of good news. But after a while, she heard the rumblings of poetry and essays outside. She knew that today's arrangement would be a waste of water.

He shook his head helplessly, pulled Shangguan Wan'er over and said a few words softly. However, Shangguan Wan'er carefully looked at Wu Zetian's slightly red eyes. He knew that this emperor actually needed this victory to consolidate his position more than anyone else. Naturally, he knew that His Royal Highness's plan was impossible today, so he shook his head and refused.

Princess Taiping had no choice but to grit her teeth and walked two steps towards His Majesty the Emperor. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard Wu Zetian say something.

"With this great victory, how can I owe my flying general in Longcheng who has been in the Long March!"

"I will pass on my will, and today I will be able to reset the Anxi Protectorate. The whole world will celebrate together and be amnesty for the whole world!"

"Change the Anxi Protectorate's resident Kucha!"

"The General of the Right Ying Yang Guard, Wang Xiaojie, the General Manager of Wuwei Road, Xinfeng County Duke, and the actual food is enfeoffed with 500 households!"

"I am granted the title of General Ashina, the chief etiquette of Anhe County, Anhe County!"

"Transfer 30,000 troops to enter the Anxi Protectorate. Anyone who has passed this battle will be promoted to the third level!"

"Give me a banquet, a wine. The Putrajaya is open! I want to drink with all my dear friends to celebrate the merits of the frontline soldiers!"

Princess Taiping found that her plan had completely failed, so she hurriedly bowed to Wu Zetian and left and went out to make arrangements.

As Putrajaya slowly opened, although the distance was very far, Li Chongrun finally met the legendary Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian wore a bright yellow robe with some patterns embroidered on it and a very complex crown on his head, but because the distance was really far, he couldn't see the details clearly.

But before Li Chongrun could hear what the supreme emperor of the world was saying, a few sharp whistling sounds came, almost as instinctively as Li Chongrun hugged his head and leaned down on the ground.

Looking at the emperor's ceremonial guards in a distance, it seemed that something extraordinary had happened.
