Chapter 604 The sudden war
"Hehe..." Li Muyun smiled and moved his butt: "Mr. Xiao, in fact, there is no deep hatred between us except for different ideas, right?"
"What do you want to say?" Xiao Yu asked back without comment.
Li Muyun changed into a heavy tone and said, "I mean, since there is no hatred between us, this conceptual dispute can completely seek common ground while reserving differences. You said it? Actually, I also know that you agree to marrying for less war on the Tang Dynasty border, but my disagreement does not mean that I hope the border will continue to be in chaos."
Xiao Yu didn't say anything, just looked at Li Muyun, as if waiting for him to continue talking.
Li Muyun seemed to have no hope that he could answer anything, and said to himself: "In my opinion, marriage is actually not much different from raising a tiger. Tubo is similar to Turks. They are both countries with scarce resources. When life is unsustainable, robbery becomes the only way out, so you have no way to expect peace to last."
Xiao Yu closed his eyes gently, waved his hand to Li Muyun, signaling him not to say anything again. After a long time, he said in a tired tone: "I know that being with a relative is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but do you know what the war in Songzhou has become like now? Niu Jinda 20,000 troops were surrounded by the Tubo king there. That was 20,000 lives. There are wives, children, and young people in their family. What is the more important, what are you going to give me an answer?"
This was the first time Li Muyun knew about the situation in Songzhou, and was shocked: "What? The battle in Songzhou has not been completed yet? No..., didn't it mean that General Niu won?"
Xiao Yu snorted, opened his slightly turbid old eyes, stared at Li Muyun and said, "I don't know where your news came from, but just from the military newspaper half a month ago, they will not be able to break out of the siege of the 100,000 Tubo army in a short time."
Damn it, didn’t history say that the Battle of Songzhou was won by the Tang Dynasty? What’s the fucking situation? Where did the chaos happen?
Li Muyun was a little stunned. He even forgot the pain from his butt. He said with a hurry: "No, General Niu brought 15,000 people over? Why was it 20,000? What happened to the extra 5,000 people?"
"Border Army!" Xiao Yu said woodenly.
"No, no, how could General Niu not defeat the Tubo people? Songzhou is our territory. In theory, the right time, place, people and people are all in it. How could it be surrounded? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Li Muyun stood up suddenly and paced back and forth on the ground, like a trapped beast.
In fact, winning or losing in the battle in Songzhou has little to do with him, Li Muyun, and whether he is married or not has much to do with him. What really makes him confused is that history seems to be confused.
Things that shouldn't have happened one by one, is it really because of his little butterfly? If things become out of control, what will he do in the future?
Xiao Yu looked at Li Muyun in a quiet voice and suddenly issued an order to expel him: "Okay, if King Xiaoyao is fine, I will be a little tired!"
Li Muyun's mind was in a mess at this time, so he naturally didn't want to chat with an old man. He bowed his hand and came out of the Xiao family and got on the carriage sent by Lao Xia.
In the car, Li Muyun tried hard to recall everything recorded in the history books. When did Li Yuan die? When did Li Shimin die? Who is the elder of the three dynasties? Who rebelled and died!
But after thinking for a long time, he found that he could remember what had not happened yet. Apart from that, it was Li Chengqian's rebellion in the 17th year of Zhenguan. To be honest, if there was no introduction, he would really not be able to remember anything else.
At this time, Li Muyun began to regret it again. He had known that he would have studied the Department of History and Archaeology. Even if he didn't learn much, he could at least learn more about Chaochao, which was better than now.
As he thought about it, the carriage arrived at the manor outside the city. At this time, Li Muyun realized that his butt hurt so much, so he called a few servants to carry him into the room.
The next marriage was so stagnant, and no one ever heard of it. Li Muyun also occasionally cared about the war in Songzhou, but there were many different opinions at present.
But one thing is certain, Niu Jinda's 20,000 people must have been surrounded by people, otherwise it would be impossible for him to have no news for a month.
At this time, Li Shimin probably was afraid of throwing troops. He was determined to continue sending troops but was afraid of being attacked by the enemy's trick of surrounding and attacking aid. However, it would not be a big deal if he did not continue sending troops to the 20,000 people surrounded. Maybe Lao Niu made a command mistake that day, and the 20,000 people would be completely gone.
At this moment, war reports came from the west, and the Qiangtang tribe rebelled, and the indifference began to move.
It was a storm that was about to come and the wind filled the building. Even Li Muyun, who was hiding at home to recuperate, felt the atmosphere tense.
First of all, fewer dandy people who often come to visit each other and eat and drink. Secondly, his fiefdom was filled with signs of re-conscription, and he recruited the government troops who were supposed to be on duty for rest.
Although the Tang Dynasty's standing army had only 600,000, the 600,000 were rotating. Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Ermazi meant one year. When there was no war, Zhang San might be a soldier for one year, while Li Si and Wang Ermazi were farming at home. When Li Si was replaced in the second year, Zhang San and Wang Ermazi were farming at home, and Wang Ermazi would go to the third year.
Of course, these refer to the way they usually don’t fight. If they want to fight, they can only return to the team. Li Si and Wang Ermazi should not stay at home, and go to join the army with Zhang San to fight.
So although the Tang Dynasty said that there were only 600,000 permanent troops, the actual troops had reached about 2 million.
Li Muyun shrank at home and thought he had nothing to do, but in the end, the eunuch Lao Long came with him in less than five days, looking like he was preparing to search the house.
"King Xiaoyao, please change your clothes quickly. Your Majesty has an order to summon you to enter the palace quickly." This was the first and only sentence of the old eunuch after seeing Li Muyun. Then he waved his hand and the eunuch who accompanied him rushed up, dragging and carrying him out like a bandit.
Li Muyun was completely confused. He was fiddled with by the eunuchs like puppets sitting in the carriage. From time to time, the wound on his butt was pulled, so he grinned his teeth and cracked his mouth.
When the old eunuch got on the carriage, before he could sit down, he grabbed his sleeve: "Old Long, you are so damn, you want to kill me!"
