Chapter 12 Passing by Subi

Two days later, the three armies of the Tang Dynasty were in full swing and set off to set out south.

More than 300,000 Tang troops moved from Xidu City to Quling, and then arrived at the territory of Tuyuhun, the Tang minister. Li Ke did not stop in Tuyuhun at all, so he continued to go south, crossed the Jishishan Road, crossed the Nangmo River, and finally approached Tubo and arrived in Subi Kingdom.

Subi State, outside the city of Gymzi.

"Your Majesty, it is rumored that Subi is a country of women. Anyone who holds high positions in the court and those in power are all women. Even King Subi Chijiesu is a daughter. I was quite surprised by this matter, but today it seems that this is true." In the army, Wang Xuance walked beside Li Ke and said to Li Ke.

The Subi country is a woman country, and Li Ke knew about it early in the morning.

The woman in Subi State was a country and did not engage in military affairs. She was caught between the two powerful peoples, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo, and it was only a matter of time before she was destroyed. However, Subi State did not disappear. Even more than a thousand years later, she could become the prototype of the daughter's country in "Journey to the West". Of course, these are the privacy that Li Ke could not speak to outsiders.

Wang Xuance's words fell, and before Li Ke could speak, Su Dingfang spoke first. Su Dingfang looked at Wang Xuance and laughed: "From Xuance's meaning, it's a bit like 'here', I don't want to go back to Chang'an when I look at the scenery of the plateau."

"Hahaha..."

After hearing Su Dingfang's words, Li Ke also smiled and said, "If Xuan Ce is interested, just say that, I heard that Queen Subi Chi Jiesu is also a pretty person. Xuan Ce will meet this Queen Subi later. If she is interested in her, I will make the decision for you."

Su Dingfang followed Li Ke's words and agreed: "What Your Majesty said is very true. Although Chi Jie Su is Queen Su, Xuan Ce is the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty's arm, and she will not let her down if she marry you. Moreover, if you have this relationship, your Majesty will be more accused of mobilizing Subi soldiers in the future and monitoring Tubo will be even more at ease."

Wang Xuance was suddenly panicked when he heard Su Dingfang's words. Wang Xuance hurriedly said, "Dingfang, don't joke. We'll make a joke, but if this is heard back to my wife, how can I go back to Chang'an?"

Wang Xuance was the prime minister and the emperor's confidant. The wife he married after becoming famous was naturally not an ordinary family. Although Wang Xuance was a poor family, his wife came from the Zheng family of Xingyang, one of the seven sects and five surnames.

The Zheng family came from a family of scholars, and was well-educated and polite. There was no need to say that they were elegant and elegant, but they only looked at Wang Xuance too tightly. After ten years of marriage, no woman could enter the gate of the palace. Even the maid given to Wang Xuance by Li Ke himself would not be able to do so. With Zheng's temper, if he knew about Wang Xuance's rumors, he would be angry and would have to expose Wang Xuance's skin.

"Hahaha, let's just Dingfang. If you continue to say this, I'm afraid Xuan Ce will ask to transfer the rear army to stay away from you." Li Ke looked at Wang Xuance's reaction and smiled at Su Dingfang.

Li Ke, Wang Xuance and Su Dingfang were both in the north. They protected Li Ke for four years in the bitter and cold land and had a lifelong friendship with Li Ke. In addition, Li Ke is a person who values ​​feelings, so it is normal for them to make jokes and other things, and there is nothing in these books.

However, Wang Xuance was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty after all, and this was outside. The face of the prime minister of a country still had to be taken into account. Li Ke saw that Wang Xuance was embarrassed and stopped.

Li Ke stopped here, and Su Dingfang stopped talking. At this moment, just as Wang Xuance was being said to be a little embarrassed, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distance, with about dozens of people. A woman was also led by the outposted imperial guards under the banner of King Supi.

Wang Xuance pointed to the group of people and said to Li Ke: "Your Majesty, Jiangzi City is approaching, I guess King Supi has come to pick him up."

King Subi Chijiesu knew that Li Ke would arrive in Gymzi today, so he was waiting outside the city. Now that Li Ke is coming, they naturally rushed to welcome him.

Li Ke waved his hand and signaled to the imperial guards who blocked the Supi people in front. After the order was ordered, the imperial guards quickly spread left and right and let the Supi people in.

"I am the prince of Xiping, Chi Jiesu, and I will bring important ministers from Supi to welcome Your Majesty." Chi Jiesu, under the guidance of the Tang army, removed his troops and came to Li Ke's horse, and led the crowd to kneel down and worship.

Chi Jiesu was cautious and knew that she was King Supi, but when she met Li Ke, she did not have to call herself Supi. Instead, she used the title of King Xiping County given to her by Li Ke. Not only did she look at the Tang Dynasty, but she also seemed to love the title given by Li Ke and was honored.

"The prince is intent, please get up quickly." Li Ke raised his hand and signaled Chi Jiesu to get up.

Chi Jiesu thanked his grace, stood up and said to Li Ke: "Your Majesty, I have packed up Your Majesty's palace in the city, and managed everything. I also asked Your Majesty to follow me to the city to rest."

Li Ke waved his hand and said, "No need. This time, I am the commander of the army and the important matters of the march. It is not an ordinary tour. I should share the joys and sorrows with all the soldiers and live in the camp."

Chi Jiesu couldn't help but feel a little surprised and admiration when he heard Li Ke's words. Emperor Tang Li Ke, who was supreme in her eyes, and Tian Khan, who had the power of thunder in her manner, could actually be so compassionate and let herself go like an ordinary soldier. She was so self-disciplined that she could not even ask herself, even if she, the king of the small country, could not do it.

Chi Jiesu did not dare to persuade Li Ke more about this matter, but said, "Since that's the case, then I will camp a hundred meters away from Your Majesty's imperial tent, accompany Your Majesty to the left and right, expressing my feelings."

When Li Ke heard this, he shook his head and asked Chi Jiesu: "There are so many kings in the world, do you know why I only gave you the word "Pingxi"?"

Seeing that Li Ke seemed a little dissatisfied, Chi Jiesu hurriedly replied: "Because Your Majesty hopes that I can make achievements for Your Majesty's great expedition and help Your Majesty pacify Tubo."

Li Ke said: "Yes, I mean that I mean it. What I want is a Prince of Pingxi who can make military contributions for me, rather than a close servant who follows me."

Chi Jiesu knew Li Ke's intention and immediately replied: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have ordered Prince Moge to consolidate 30,000 troops in Dasushui west of the country. Just wait for Your Majesty to give you an order, and will immediately send troops to attack Xiangxiong first, and then go south to help Your Majesty break the logic together."

Chi Jiesu let Moge lead the army for two reasons: First, because Moge knew his plan, and he could better implement his plan after he went, so that he could not only please Li Ke, but also not fight with the elite Tubo people and preserve his strength;

Secondly, because Moge will inherit the throne of Chijiesu sooner or later, but Subi's throne has always been passed on to women but not men. She just took this opportunity to lead Moge, accumulate merits and prestige, and prepare for the future succession. Of course, if Moge can win Li Ke's appreciation through this battle, it would be the best.

Chi Jiesu's abacus was good, but he could not escape Li Ke's eyes. Li Ke and Su Dingfang smiled and looked at each other, and knew that they had seen through Chi Jiesu's thoughts.

So, Li Ke asked Su Dingfang: "Dingfang, you are the commander of the Western Expedition Army. What do you think of the arrangement of the Xiping County Prince?"

Su Dingfang said: "Your Majesty has arranged two armies in Xiangxiong, King Xiangxiong and Ren Yaxiang. It is enough to restrain Lu Dongzan. Why do you need another Subi army? Now that the Subi army has stationed troops in Dasu River, why not go to Namhu in the southwest near?"
