Although the number was only one hundred and sixty, Gao Shun was very satisfied.
Because he could finally charge into battle with Fusu and kill the bandits.
As for the large army, just let the soldiers trapped in the camp discipline themselves.
Anyway, the soldiers are very loyal. With the strength of the soldiers in the trapped camp, as long as the opponent's number is not too large, they will be able to fight.
Xiao Jiujiu and Fusu also know this.
But Fusu did not hold him accountable.
Gao Shun just wanted to protect him and kill the enemy with him.
The dinner was very sumptuous, but everyone did not enjoy it.
The images of those compatriots who died tragically in iron cages have been lingering in everyone's mind.
Retracing and replaying again and again.
It lingers like a nightmare.
…
Yanmen Pass.
It's late at night and everything is silent.
One rider took advantage of the night and galloped out of the pass.
Meng Tian stood on the city wall, staring at the man heading north.
General Wang, whether the young master is safe or not depends on you!
I hope you won’t let me down and you must protect the young master.
at the same time.
In the Yanmenguan camp, there was also a horseman heading south.
This man followed the orders of one of Meng Tian's generals.
The mission was to report the information about Prince Fusu's disobedience to the Northern Expedition to Zhao Gao in Xianyang City.
Meng Tian's worries are not unreasonable.
Although Yanmen Pass is thousands of miles away from Xianyang, Zhao Gao's eyes are all over the world, covering six countries.
Even though Yanmen Pass is a frontier, it has already been infiltrated by Zhao Gao's spies.
No matter what Meng Tian does, Zhao Gao will know it clearly.
Zhao Gao was deeply favored by the emperor, and countless civil servants and generals wanted to become Zhao Gao's confidants.
If you can't win His Majesty's favor, it's the same as getting Zhao Gao's trust!
Even better.
The Emperor of Qin was seriously ill and could not do many things himself.
Zhao Gao therefore had an opportunity to take advantage of it.
There were many things that Zhao Gao knew, but the emperor did not know, and many decisions came from Zhao Gao, not Ying Zheng.
…
Datang!
The Golden Palace of Chang'an City.
Li Shimin summoned all civil and military officials to discuss matters in the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Princess Changle has reached the age of marriage. I hope your Majesty will choose a consort for the princess as soon as possible!" Changsun Wuji walked to the center of the hall, cupped his fists and handed over his hands, "I am not very talented, but I have a son named Chong.
Princess Changle is a childhood sweetheart, and the humble minister is brave enough to ask your majesty for a marriage!"
"My dear, you and I are already related. If this can happen, it will be an even better marriage!" Li Shimin smiled with a smile on his face, as if he was very pleased with this marriage.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say! Princess Changle was born in an imperial family and should devote herself to the country!" Cheng Yaojin walked to the center of the hall, clasped his fists and cupped his hands, "I heard that the prince of Qin, Fusu, was wiped out in northern Xinjiang a few days ago.
The Huns have an army of 100,000! If Your Majesty can marry Qin, and the two countries join forces, how can they be afraid of the Turks?"
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were shocked.
"Destroying the Huns' 100,000-strong army? Is this true? Who has such ability?"
"This is above the imperial court. How can Yao Jin dare to lie? This must be true! Fusu? It would be terrible to destroy a hundred thousand Xiongnu army!"
"I have been shocked for a whole year. It is rumored that the Huns and Turks are similar. They are grassland tribal alliances. They are good at riding and raiding. The Huns and Turks are cruel by nature and have very strong fighting power! Is there really anyone who can destroy a hundred thousand Huns army?"
"This is simply a great achievement that can be recorded in history! If your Majesty can marry the Qin State, we will join forces and dominate the northern Turks, and there will be nothing to worry about in the future!"
"A perfect match. When the princess's body of gold is combined with the prince of Qin, both countries will be prosperous and powerful! What a perfect match!"
"The only one in the world who is worthy of the princess is Fusu! Your Majesty, I agree to this marriage!"
"Yes, marriage will help stabilize the two countries, but..."
…
The ministers were talking a lot, but they all glanced at Changsun Wuji.
Li Shimin was determined to grow stronger and prosper the Tang Dynasty.
However, the Turks in the north are eyeing him, and we must be on guard against him at all times as he marches south.
The people on the border were harassed by the Turks and suffered terribly.
If the fear of the Turks could be defeated and the Turks would not dare to go south to herd horses, it would be like removing a sharp sword hanging above their heads, and the people of the Tang Dynasty would be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
Li Shimin was very excited, but he just had no way to go down.
"Master Cheng!" Changsun Wuji noticed that the wind was going wrong and tried to turn the tide, "Your Majesty regards Princess Changle as the apple of his eye. Are you going to let the princess marry away from another country? Although Quanzi is incompetent, he lives close by! The princess can return to the palace every day and talk to him.
See you, Your Majesty!"
"As the saying goes, men should marry when they are young, and girls should marry when they are young. No matter how much Your Majesty cherishes it, the Lord will get married one day!" Cheng Yaojin said tit for tat, refusing to give in. "It is precisely because Your Majesty regards Princess Changle as a pearl, so you are so slightly embarrassed.
The ministers dared to advise that a dragon should be matched with a dragon, and a phoenix should be matched with a phoenix. The person who is worthy of Princess Changle must also be the king of a country! May I ask, which country is the king of your dog son? "
"Dog...dog son?"
All the civil and military officials burst into laughter.
Changsun Wuji was so angry that his orifices were filled with smoke and he gnashed his teeth, wishing he could bite Cheng Yaojin to death.
"Your Majesty, what you said is true. Princess Changle has a noble status. If she can marry the Qin State, it will be beneficial to our Tang Dynasty!" Li Jing walked to the center of the hall and bowed deeply, "And the rumors about Fusu are good, and she will also be the master of the Qin State in the future.
Identity and status are worthy of Princess Changle!"
"Well! Since the pharmacist thinks it can be done, I also intend to marry the Qin State!" Li Shimin was overjoyed, but his face was extremely calm, and he even frowned slightly, "It's just that the two countries have never established diplomatic relations and have never had any contact.
I wonder which of my dear friends is willing to be sent as an envoy to Qin?"
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was shocked.
He looked at Li Shimin with an expression of disbelief.
This is different from what was originally planned!
Didn't we agree to bring about Chang Le and Chong'er?
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
None of the civil and military officials spoke.
It's okay to agree, but if you speak now, isn't that going against Changsun Wuji?
All fools know the relationship between Changsun Wuji and Li Shimin.
Changsun Wuji raised the matter of Princess Changle in the court, which showed that he was already confident.
Based on his relationship with Li Shimin, I'm afraid they have already discussed it in private.
Is it possible to offend Changsun Wuji?
Cheng Yaojin was stunned and said: "Wei Chen is willing to go!"
All civil and military officials also watched the play.
They didn't know what happened to Cheng Yaojin today. Why did he have to confront Changsun Wuji?
"Okay, I'll give it to Cheng Aiqing! If we can bring about a marriage between the two countries, Aiqing will be a hero of the Tang Dynasty!"
With a smile on his face, Li Shimin immediately turned around and headed towards the side hall.
"Retreat!"
…
Three poles in the sun!
Northern Territory of Great Qin.
Fusu led the army to Xiu!
About thirty miles away, Ran Min found a small army in front and quickly led his troops forward.
After a while, the small army was surrounded by legions led by Ran Min.
Waiting for Fusu to fall.
Fusu rode his horse forward and inspected the trapped army.
"Fusu flag?" Suddenly, one of the generals knelt on the ground with a plop, cupped his fists and raised his hands, "May I ask if the general is Mr. Fusu?"
