Brother Zhao Ben and Cui Bin are standing together.
Just over two months ago, the two sides were still fighting in full swing. They never thought that one day they would stand side by side and live in harmony with each other.
The real gold has been lost, and it's like the conflict of interest between them has been taken away with it.
"You are so shameless." Brother Zhao looked far away on the road and said, and motioned to the interpreter to translate without hesitation, "Dong Wenbing was able to die in battle to protect Zhenjin. As Zhenjin's general in front of the tent,
He actually surrendered."
The interpreter was from the Wanggu tribe.
The people of the Wanggu tribe are a mixture of many ethnic groups and have a high level of culture. Many people are engaged in the role of interpreter. This interpreter was sent to Zhenjin by Ai Buhua when Zhenjin was in the Hetao.
At this time, he translated Zhao Ageben's Tubo into Chinese for Cui Bin. But before, he had actually translated it into Mongolian.
Cui Bin stood with his hands behind his hands and said calmly: "Do you think I am afraid of death?"
"Aren't you?" Brother Zhao said sarcastically.
Cui Bin shook his head and said: "You only saw my incompetence when I was defeated repeatedly and my weakness when I surrendered, but you couldn't see my ambition to bring peace to the people of the world... You don't need to translate it to him, this barbarian can't understand.
If you understand it but don’t see it with your own eyes, you won’t believe it.”
At the end of the sentence, he raised his hand to indicate to the interpreter that there was no need to translate.
In the distance, a group of people and horses came slowly.
Brother Zhao rushed forward with Cui Bin, and sure enough they saw it was Tang general Song He with Yan Yunyun, Basiba and others.
"The criminal Cui Bin has met General Song and Mr. Yan."
Song He looked at Yan Yunyun and waited for her to speak first.
Yan Yunyun showed no stage fright, kicked the horse's belly, stepped forward and scanned everyone.
You could see the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty behind Cui Bin and the Tubo tribesmen behind Brother Zhao, but she was not afraid at all and said: "Have you heard about it?"
"heard……"
Yan Yunyun raised his head arrogantly and said: "In the battle of Helan Mountain, my emperor has defeated Tachaer. If you hope that Meng Yuan can get involved in Tibetan affairs again, you are just talking nonsense."
After Cui Bin heard this, he prostrated himself and said: "Cui Bin, the sinner, is willing to join the Tang Dynasty with his soldiers."
Brother Zhao waited until the interpreter finished speaking before he could understand. His movements were a little slower, but he felt a little reluctant to comply.
Yan Yunyun said again: "I am in charge of the household department, and I am here to open trade routes for Tibet and improve the lives of Tibet people. What does Leader Zhao think?"
Brother Zhao Ben was still hesitating, until he saw Pa Siba winking, and then he bowed down.
After that, he heard the sound of Song He sheathing his sword.
Yan Yunyun smiled and said: "Chief Zhao will not regret today's choice."
Song He then also smiled.
Behind them, Hao Xiuyang caressed his beard and nodded, Pasiba looked solemn...
If the Guoduan Liangzhou Alliance incorporated Tubo into the territory of the Great Mongol Kingdom, and Kublai Khan sent real gold to escort Pasiba back to Tubo in order to consolidate the Yuan Dynasty's rule over Tubo, then at this moment, everything officially changed
.
At this time, a new alliance began, and the new Han Dynasty took over Tubo and continued to expand its territory.
Looking up, the sky is high and the clouds are broad in this northwest plateau, which makes people feel that the future is bright...
~~
At the same time, in the Tang Army camp in the south of Yinshan Mountain.
"Are you in a good mood recently?" Duo Siman approached Li Xia and asked, "Are you secretly happy that you defeated Tachaer?"
"It's not bad." Li Xia said: "Finally, it looks like we are opening up the situation."
During the ten years of resistance against Mongolia, it has always been felt that Mongolia's national power is bottomless no matter how many battles it has won.
But this year he can finally see hope of reversing the situation.
I have to thank Zhenjin for his trip to Tubo, which allowed him to capture Ba Siba and start to appease Tubo, attracting Tachaer's reinforcements and opening a breakthrough to the Hetao.
"What about you?" Li Xia also asked Duo Siman, "If I defeated Meng Yuan, would you be happy?"
"I'm so happy."
"But you are also the Bo'er Zijin clan."
"So what? A baby's jin is too much. I mean what if... what if I get married to that stinky old man Masuhu, a baby's jin won't give me anything. Now I have
The most handsome and mighty husband in the world is my own husband, how wonderful it is. Ever since I was a child, I have heard Eji say that what you can hold is yours, and what belongs to the Golden Family is not necessarily yours."
Duo Siman didn't know whether she was stunned by Li Xia or whether she really had her reasons. In short, such eloquent talk pleased Li Xia.
Maybe after a while, he could discuss with her how to manage the Bo'er Zijin clan.
This was the purpose of bringing her here.
Before setting off from Chang'an, Li Xia had never thought that he could really win the Loop, but now he was looking forward to Yanjing.
Duo Siman was holding his finger for a walk to the Caohe River, accompanying him to inspect the camp, and said: "The grassland here is so beautiful, even better than the Ili Riverside."
"Because this is already a Loop. The Yellow River has nine dangers, but only one is rich. The name Jiangnan is not just for talk."
"Where is this place?"
Li Xia turned around and looked around, but could not see the city, only the vast grassland, so he could only know the approximate location of where he was, and said: "This is Houtao. It was called Shuofang County in the Han Dynasty. We should be in Woye County and
The area between Linrong County was called Fengzhou in the Tang Dynasty. As of now, it is called Bayannur."
"A rich lake?" Duo Siman was more familiar with the Mongolian name. He turned around and looked around and asked: "Where is the lake? I only look at the river."
"Behind Tachar's camp, you can see it after you defeat him."
"Tacha'er is so cowardly. He keeps running. If he can, he shouldn't run away. He should stay and let you annihilate him."
"If there are no variables, it will be soon."
"How can there be any variables..."
Because Li Xia was in a good mood, Duo Siman was also in a very good mood.
After the Battle of Helan Mountain, the Tang army had been chasing Tachaer for a month, with the purpose of completely annihilating this force so that they could capture Hetao later...
I stayed under the Yinshan Mountain that night, the wind howled.
Li Xia woke up in the middle of the night, looked down, and saw Duo Siman's shining eyes in the moonlight. There was a little fear in his eyes, but also a little expectation.
He stroked her head and asked, "Who taught you this?"
"Sister Yan, she said that you will give me a child." Duo Siman whispered, "I am sixteen... I want to be your real wife..."
"Is it the sixth day of the Lunar New Year today?" Li Xia remembered that he had forgotten the agreement he made with her, and took her into his arms apologetically.
After reaching out and stroking her for a while, he found that she was ready.
The dark and thin little girl who lived in the wind and sand of the Western Regions in the past has her own unique charm.
"My husband, do you remember that when we returned to Chang'an from the Western Regions, there was a beautiful daughter from your Weiwuer tribe on the other side of the Qilian Mountains? She is one year younger than me." Duo Siman
asked suddenly.
Li Xia didn't expect that she would ask this at this time, and said: "Remember, Desu Amu's daughter seems to be called Ayimu."
"If you could choose, would you prefer someone as beautiful as that... to Duo Siman? I'm not good at anything. I'm not as beautiful as them. Apart from being a princess, I am nothing."
"I can choose."
"Um."
"I always had a choice." Li Xia said, "I was never forced to marry you, I chose it myself."
Duo Siman's eyes lit up and asked: "Really?"
"real."
The night wind blew through the tent, making people feel drunk. Although Duo Siman had a good capacity for drinking, he also felt drunk.
…
Duo Siman didn't wake up until noon the next day. She opened her eyes and saw Li Xia still sitting in the tent. She blinked and saw that he was still there, so she went over and hugged his waist.
"My husband, I...I died and lived again."
Li Xia sighed slightly, not liking hearing her description.
His other wives and concubines could describe it better.
"I want to give you a child." Duo Siman said again.
"Then when the time comes, can I seal our son to the Yili River Basin?" Li Xia asked casually.
"Okay!" Duo Si was overjoyed and said, "How about moving Eji and my brother here? Let them be your ministers."
"That's fine."
Duo Siman, who had just turned sixteen, seemed to have matured a lot overnight. After a while, he asked cautiously: "In the future... can I help you comfort the remaining Borzhijin clan?"
Li Xia's eyes narrowed slightly.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think to himself that she was indeed the daughter of Meng Ge and Uluru Hunai.
The little girl used to look silly, but once she understood it, she understood everything.
"Don't worry, it's hard to say whether the Loop can be laid. I don't believe that the Meng Yuanhui will not respond. There will always be variables."
Not long after, a soldier outside the tent reported: "Your Majesty, news of Duke Lian has arrived..."
Here Li Xia received the letter from Lian Xixian, his face became calmer, he got up and walked to the meeting room in front.
Further away, a scout horse came running wildly, running back to the camp along the Yellow River.
Yang Ben heard the news first, then hurried over to see Li Xia and said, "Your Majesty, Tachaer's reinforcements have arrived."
"Who? How many people?"
"It's the son of the princess of Meng Yuan who came with more than 30,000 horses from Wang Gu's tribe."
The other party was obviously an unknown person, and Yang Ben couldn't remember his name.
Li Xia, however, already knew how many adopted sons the prisoner princess Alahai had, so she just nodded and said, "It would be nice to meet him."
"Then I will come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy and report back."
"allow."
Li Xia was a little indifferent to the reinforcements, and his eyes fell back on the letter in his hand, muttering to himself: "I didn't expect him to be so well-informed."
"Your Majesty, has the situation changed?" Yang Ben couldn't help but ask.
"How to put it... You know, Mongolia has a habit. For example, when Ogedei died, Guyu and Meng Ge were on the Western Expedition, and they went back immediately. When Meng Ge died, Kublai Khan and Hulagu also immediately
Turn back.”
Yang Ben's eyes widened and he asked in surprise: "Kublai Khan is dead?"
"That's not true." Li Xia was amused by him and smiled slightly, and said: "You are actually a little funny...don't you know which important person is missing?"
