Chapter 370 Meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Because the mission was not completed, after Heiji Changzhi escaped, Zhou Simao naturally had to go to the Heyuan Army's camp in person to verify with Lou Shide, the current interim head of the Heyuan Army, whether Heiji Changzhi's old troops
He was still there, but the result shocked him, because all of Hei Te Changzhi's soldiers were there, even Heidu Gai, the commander of Hei Te Changzhi's personal soldiers, was also there.
"This, this is impossible! How is this possible?" Zhou Simao couldn't help but look in disbelief when he saw this scene, but the fact was right in front of him, and he had no choice but to smile bitterly and return to Luoyang to return to Empress Wu.
As for how Empress Wu should deal with him who was having trouble doing things, that was no longer considered.
Of course, Zhou Simao did not give up there. He wanted to go back and ask Heiji Changzhi about the crime of absconding in fear of crime. In addition to Heiji Changzhi, there was also Luo Song, whose betrayal led to the failure of this operation. Both of them are sinners.
Zhou Simao asked Empress Wu to issue a wanted order, and put Hei Te Changzhi and Luo Song on a nationwide arrest warrant, making them unable to escape.
Zhou Simao, who left sadly, had no idea that what he just saw was actually just an illusion. The fact was that Hei Te Changzhi's soldiers were not here at all. Those who kidnapped Hei Te Changzhi before were his soldiers.
What's happening in the camp now is actually just a disguise sent by Lou Shide. Zhou Simao never imagined that Lou Shide, who had always been at odds with Heijia Changzhi, would actually be willing to help Heijia Changzhi, let alone such a superficial thing.
The discord was actually just a cover for deception, and the reason why he weaved such a lie was actually just a trick laid by Li Xian to Lou Shide, who had already secretly taken refuge in him. The purpose was naturally to wait for this day to come.
"Immediately report to His Highness the Crown Prince, and ask His Highness the Crown Prince to wait for Hei Te Changzhi and the others in Chang'an to implement the next plan." Lou Shide looked at Zhou Simao's dejected back, with a faint sneer on his face, and gently said to the man next to him
Captain Lou Jingyan ordered.
"Yes." Since Lou Jingyan was Lou Shide's confidant, he naturally knew about Lou Shide's affairs, so after his general issued the order, he immediately put away the letter written by Lou Shide and took the express.
The horse was sent to Chang'an in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
Within a few days, Li Xian received a letter from Lou Shide. After reading the letter, he greatly appreciated Lou Shide's performance, and immediately sent his confidants to greet Hei Te Changzhi outside Chang'an City.
and his family.
About half a month later, Luoyang issued a wanted order for Hei Te Changzhi, who was on the run in fear of crime.
However, just two days later, the patrol force controlled by Li Xian announced that they had captured the absconding suspect Hei Te Changzhi and handed him over directly to Dali Temple for trial. After a trial, it was proved that Hei Te Changzhi was not involved in the crime.
There was no crime, all of this was framed.
After that, Li Xian ignored the strong opposition of his servant Pei Yan and others, insisted on rehabilitating Hei Te Chang, and ordered that the false accuser, Lu Pinxing, who joined the Heyuan Army and was also a direct line general sent there by Empress Wu, be beheaded.
In addition, Lintai young eunuch Zhou Simao, who was responsible for escorting Heiji Changzhi, was dismissed from his post because he mobilized the army without permission and violated the law. He was sent to the Heyuan Army for military confinement. Zhou Simao knew that he would not get good results after arriving there.
He actually hanged himself to death.
In addition, the right prison guard Zhonglang General Wu Yizong violated the imperial law by ordering the murder of Hei Te Changzhi, and was demoted to the governor of Leizhou. He had no choice but to go on the road alone. As a result, he was killed by bandits halfway. The furious Empress Wu ordered A thorough investigation of the murderer took more than half a year, but no clues were found, and the matter finally went unsolved.
As the victim of this case, Hei Te Changzhi was still appointed as the consolation ambassador of the Heyuan Army and the deputy general manager of the Luosu Road March. He also followed Li Xian's generals and asked him to work with the general general of the Luosu Road March and the Anxi Protector Tang. Xiu Jing, the deputy general manager of Luosu Road March, and Wang Xiaojie, the governor of Shanzhou, formed a three-pronged army to jointly attack Tibet.
"Wei Chen's black teeth often come to see His Highness the Crown Prince. Thank you His Highness the Crown Prince for taking such good care of us. Otherwise, I'm afraid the grass on Wei Chen's grave would have grown taller at this time." After the case was vindicated and he was entrusted with the important task, he has not yet left. Chang'an's black tooth Changzhi came to the palace to express his gratitude to Li Xian.
"Haha, General Black Teeth, excuse me quickly." Li Xian stood up in person, helped Li Xian up, and said gently: "General Black Teeth is a famous general of our Tang Dynasty. He has been at the border for a long time and has a well-known reputation. He is This is a strong Great Wall that guards our Tang Dynasty. If a talented person like General Black Teeth is wronged, I will naturally do my best to protect it. It is just a small effort, and the general does not need to be so polite."
"It is a simple effort for His Highness the Crown Prince, but it is a life-saving favor for the little minister. What's more, Wei Chen also knows that this matter is not a simple effort for His Highness the Prince. Although His Highness the Crown Prince successfully rescued the Wei Chen, he was also offended by it. There are many people, and Wei Chen knows this matter well. Haha, there is no need to say anything else. From now on, Wei Chen's life belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince can use it, he only needs to give an order. It will definitely be a mess, no matter what."
Hei Te Changzhi bowed to Li Xian again, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Highness, I think it is inappropriate to attack Tubo at this time. Although our Tang Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, Tubo has also been recuperating for several years." , it is not difficult to achieve a small victory, but it may be extremely difficult to defeat Tubo in one fell swoop."
Li Xian laughed when he heard this and said to Hei Te Changzhi: "My beloved, all you have to do is be ordered to attack. I have already planned this matter. As long as you attract the host of the Tibetan army to the border, I dare to guarantee that our army will It will inevitably cause Tubo to disappear completely and become the territory of our Tang Dynasty."
"Haha, it turns out that His Highness the Crown Prince has already made up his mind. Please rest assured that His Highness the Crown Prince will successfully complete the mission and attract the Tubo army to the border. However, what is the secret plan of His Highness the Crown Prince? Can he completely destroy the Tubo country? Such a result is the result of the victory. Even the Great Tang Army God Wei Gong could not imagine it."
Hei Te Changzhi knew that he shouldn't ask such a question, but after all, he couldn't bear his curiosity and asked Li Xian in surprise.
Li Xian smiled faintly, asked Hei Te Changzhi to come over, and then whispered a few words in his ear.
"Is this true? Haha, I really didn't expect this person to achieve such great results. No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince is so confident. After His Highness the Crown Prince said this, the minister also believed that this time we will definitely destroy Tubo." Black Teeth Changzhi was excited. He rubbed his hands together and laughed loudly. (To be continued.)
