Chapter 160 Launching the Winter Offensive of Snow Plateau

The embarrassment of Changsun Wuji was that all the officials in the Western Regions Protectorate, except for those who did not take sides, did not dare to have excessive contact with him.

Just like Changsun Wuji's 28th birthday, according to custom, on his birthday, he needed to hold a banquet for his colleagues. However, what is even more embarrassing is that he received a lot of gifts that are not painful, but not many guests came to him.

Almost all the officials of the Protectorate of the Western Regions were not as polite as possible. Only Cangcao and military officer Lu Zhikun ran to Changsun Wuji's mansion to attend the banquet.

Lu Zhikun had to come because when he came to the Western Regions, he pretended to be Changsun Wuji on the way. Everyone thought that he was Changsun Wuji. Not only was Changsun Wuji isolated in the Great Protectorate, but even Lu Zhikun, who laughed at everyone, was isolated from the best living treasure like Maitreya Buddha.

Looking at the few kittens with few sparse doors, Changsun Wuji felt very uncomfortable at this time. He was Li Shimin's uncle and had a close relationship with Li Shimin. When he was in Chang'an City, not to mention an ordinary fifth-rank army member, even a third-rank official in the dynasty would have a smile (I would rather offend gentlemen than provoke villains). However, at this time, except for the few clerks, clerks in the Changshi Mansion, only Lu Zhikun had the only one with an official position.

Changsun Wuji looked at the empty hall and said with a pale face: "Will you come if you should come!"

Several clerks, the recording room and the clerk were frowning. Finally, one of their clerks stood up and bowed to Changsun Wuji and said, "Changsun Changshi, the official suddenly remembered that there were still some books in the yamen that had not been finished, so he said goodbye first!"

Another journalist also said: "Changsun Changshi, the humble mare, who gave birth to a cub today, is going back to stare..."

These officials used their own bad excuses to say goodbye and left one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the empty hall was left with only the military officer Lu Zhikun, who was eating a mouthful of oil. Lu Zhikun chewed on the fat chicken legs and murmured: "Why are you leaving?"

Changsun Wuji, who was extremely angry, roared and said, "Everyone who shouldn't have left is gone!"

At this time, Lu Zhikun gradually figured out the taste. He slowly put down the fat chicken legs in his hand, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and rushed to Changsun Wuji tremblingly. With his fat big hand, he pointed at Changsun Wuji and said, "Changsun Changshi, what do you mean? Let's go, should I leave?"

Changsun Wuji was also anxious and realized at this time that what he said just now was too hurtful. Changsun Wuji quickly explained: "Lu joins the army, this Changshi does not mean that this is what he meant!"

"Okay, okay, okay!" Lu Zhikun turned around and swung his fat buttocks, walked towards the door, muttering, "Changsun Changshi, the official said goodbye!"

The only Lu Zhikun who was quite talking to Changsun Wuji also left his mansion.

At this time, Changsun Wuji was almost crying.

It was definitely not that simple that Chen Ying never admitted that he was a gentleman, and he dared not do anything about putting salt on his wounds, or spreading salt on his wounds.

Just as Changsun Wuji was sitting alone in the empty hall drinking by himself, Chen Ying's hearty laughter came from outside the door.

"Sorry, I am late for the Protector of the Great Protector!" Chen Ying smiled and looked at Changsun Wuji without a smile and said, "Oh, it turns out that it's not too late, everyone hasn't arrived yet. Where are the people coming, carry the gift from the Protector of the Great Protector to Changsun Changshi!"

Changsun Wuji's sinister gaze as vicious as a snake stared at Chen Ying.

Chen Ying looked at him calmly without fear.

Changsun Wuji suddenly smiled and reached out to Chen Ying and bowed, "The Great Protector's Reward... Changsun Wuji was flattered!"

Chen Yingke didn't look like a man in the officialdom, and said with disgust: "Oh, Changsun Wuji, I don't like to play with vain. You'd better give me some peace. Otherwise, there will be accidents in the Western Regions, and there may be heavenly fire or earth traps. Even if you encounter an unexpected situation, of course, I'm the one who said the King of Qin would fight me to the death? Maybe, but that's the future. Before I get lucky, you must be ahead of me, which is enough!"

Changsun Wuji was so angry that his neck was bulging with blue veins and his fists were clenched tightly, and he wanted to fight Chen Ying immediately.

Of course, this idea can only be thought about.

Chen Ying was a general who fought on the battlefield. No one knew how good he was. Everyone who knew was dead. Martial arts were originally Changsun Wuji's weakness.

Changsun Wuji lowered his head and secretly warned himself in his heart. Chen Ying just tried to anger himself and waited for him to take a trick. He would never be angry and he must endure it!

Chen Ying looked at Changsun Wuji's twitching face and smiled, "Why, I'm not convinced? I can tell you that, in the military administration, there is a principle for me to manage the army. If you are the dragon, you are the tiger, you are the tiger. Don't think I don't know. Put away your little thoughts, the patience of me is limited!"

Changsun Wuji was about to go crazy. He really wanted to fight with Chen Ying. He would not slap people in the face, and scold others without revealing his shortcomings. Chen Ying did the opposite, simply to pull off his face and put it on the ground and stomp it hard.

But... people were under the eaves and had to bow their heads.

Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile: "Sir, thank you for your advice!"

"snort……"

Chen Ying was very much looking forward to Changsun Wuji being angry and losing his mind, but it was a very unfortunate that Chen Ying was still disappointed, and Changsun Wuji endured it.

However, Chen Ying also secretly raised his vigilance. The knot between him and Changsun Wuji can no longer be untied. Either you die or I die. Anyway, no matter what, Changsun Wuji must not be allowed to return to Chang'an safely!

The Western Regions are Chen Ying's home court, and he can still do whatever he wants.

Chen Ying left Changsun Wuji's mansion, followed by Ma Mengming, who was following Chen Ying, opened his mouth, and finally said, "Major Protector, killing people is just a lie. Why are you...?"

Chen Ying shook his head and sighed, "There is no possibility of easing between me and the King of Qin. Even if I kowtow to him, will he let me go?"

Ma Mengming sighed and said, "This..."

Chen Ying smiled disapprovingly and said, "Isn't that all? No matter what, we all hate. He, the chief minister, is trying to check and balance me. I will never give him any power. Once he has power and strength, he will definitely frame me at all costs. Now that I have broken up with Changsun Wuji, I will just meet him. In the future, he frames me. Do you think anyone will believe me?"

Ma Mengming suddenly realized when he heard this.

Chen Ying turned to Zhou Qing and said, "From tomorrow, Changsun Wuji will not have to go to the Great Protectorate's Mansion to stop, so he will stay in the mansion and cannot go anywhere. There must be our people inside and outside the mansion!"

Zhou Qing said: "The Dadu Mansion has been arranged. Except for his servant Changsun Huaian, everyone else is ours. If Dadu Mansion needs it, when Changsun Wuji drinks water and when he shits, Dadu Mansion can know!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "This is the best, but you can't be careless. You must keep him in a close eye. This is a poisonous snake, and you can't leave any chance for him!"

Zhou Qing said: "I am humble and take the order!"

Chen Ying sighed, and his heart suddenly flew to Tubo, south of Kunlun Mountain!

...

In the snowy plateau of Tubo, the mountains are towering, the mountains overlap, the peaks are beautiful, and it is covered with ice and snow to form a crystal world. As the base for Tubo to expand to the Western Regions and the Hehuang Jiangmin area, this area is particularly important, known in history as "half of the military food and horses, half of them are out of it." Now in Subiru, it has become an area where the Beiwei Army is active, and there are no established Tubo people here.

Chen Ying did not expect Liu to lead a small number of elite troops to sneak into this place, able to repel Tubo and reverse the crisis. Instead, he hoped that when Tubo was preparing to plunder the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and Hehuang regions, he could seize the Tubo people's retreat, so that the Tubo people could not plunder the Western Regions and gain valuable development time for the Western Regions.

However, Chen Ying did not realize that Liu Tong and Xunxiang not only completed Chen Ying's task, but instead subverted the entire Suviru.

With the entry of Liu Tong and Xunxiang, Suviru also underwent great changes, especially in the cold winter. The Tubo people originally relied on cow dung to keep warm. Now, they used iron stoves produced in the Western Regions and could use coal balls to keep warm, make fires, and cook.

Some people also used firewalls and fire pits. At least in the entire Suviru, there were no tragic scenes of people frozen to death and frostbite.

The battle between the enemy and us is nothing more than a matter of one's decline and the other's rise.

Suviru has always had a population of 5. Although the area accounts for only one-quarter of the Tubo Snow Park, its population is as high as more than 400,000, accounting for one-third of the total Tubo population. Of course, Tubo is a nation with distinct grudges. They never calculate everyone except the Tubo people, such as Qiang Manu, Han Tiannu and various ethnic groups. These are all property and cannot be considered as population.

From last winter to the present, Subiru, the entire snowfield, has been constantly fighting, but the overall situation has evolved in a direction that is very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.

However, the Beiwei Army still faced a serious situation, and insufficient food was the biggest problem for Liu Tong. Although there was food in the Western Regions, the distance was more than 3,000 miles and the Kunlun Mountains were separated by the middle, such as land transportation was not possible.

At present, Liu Tong has less than 8,000 stones of barley under his command, and there is not much cheese left. Even if he kills horses to satisfy his hunger, he will not be able to persevere in the coming year!

Liu Tong endured the fatigue of not sleeping all night and said to Xunxiang: "What Chen Dadu said, I thought about it last night and thought that in terms of the current situation, we really need to continue the attack. Tomorrow, we will act separately, summon troops and attack Ali; use Ali Tubo people's supplies and supplies to survive this difficulty."

"Okay, okay..." Xun Xiang shouted. Because more than 300,000 Han people were rescued, Chen Ying asked Chang'an for the title of Liu Tong and Xun Xiang. Liu Tong is now awarded the title of Marquis of Jingnan, founding the Tang Dynasty, and General Zhongwu, while Xun Xiang is awarded the title of Marquis of Nankang County, and General Ningyuan,

This stimulation made Liu Tong and Xunxiang determined to make achievements. Xunxiang said with a smile: "We can't stop at all. Once we stop, we will be ruined. Now I have three daughters. If I don't earn three lords, I'm sorry for my desperate efforts!"

Liu Tong poked Xunxiang and smiled and said, "Old Xun, you can pull it away. Why are you doing so hard? I'm not going to be cheap... I have to work hard, give birth to another son and marry all your three daughters!"
