When the dynasty was dispersed, it was almost evening, Ma Zhou returned to Zhongshu Province, and immediately ordered the scholar to draw up the first draft of the holy decree, and after he checked it, he submitted it to Li Zhi, who reviewed it correctly, stamped it with the seal, and sent it to Menxia Province.

After sending the holy decree to Menxia Province, Li Zhi summoned Li Yuanzhong, the general of Jinwuwei and the general of the Yulin Army, and said: "Li Yuanzhong, this time you take someone to pick up Li Hao back, take care of him along the way, Li Hao is sick and can't stand it, if he is tired, you must not rush to ......"

He was worried about Li Hao, so he told a lot, Li Yuanzhong listened silently, and when Li Zhi finished speaking, he bowed his chin and saluted: "The minister obeys the holy order!" ”

"And!" Li Zhi suddenly said, "The news of the death of my father, don't tell him for the time being, Li Hao has no objection, but I am worried about Qinghai Wei, Li Hao is known as a prestige in the army, this sudden withdrawal of the army, Qinghai Wei must be very unconvinced, if they know that their father died, I am afraid that something will really happen, and now it is on the cusp, if there is a mutiny, even if I want to protect him, I can't keep it." ”

"Yes." Li Yuanzhong bowed his head.

"Well, let's go to the military department and wait for the holy decree."

Li Yuanzhong immediately withdrew from the Ganlu Palace, went to the Ministry of War and other holy decrees, the Tang Dynasty holy decree process was drafted by the Zhongshu Province, the emperor checked and sealed, and then submitted to the Menxia Province for approval, and finally implemented by the Shangshu Province, because this holy decree involved military power, so it was finally sent to the Ministry of War, and Li Yuanzhong wanted to take 500 Yulin Army to set off, and also needed the approval of the Ministry of War.

Li Yuanzhong got the holy decree and approval in the military department, went to the forbidden camp and took away the five hundred Yulin army, and set off immediately, it was already dark at this moment, and the city gate was closed, but it didn't matter, Li Yuanzhong had the holy decree and the urgent official document of the military department in hand, and the city guard general asked for instructions from the upper peak, and immediately opened the city gate for him.

The snowy plateau has a sunny day, the sky is blue and cloudless, and although the sun is shining, the temperature here is still cold, and the snow on the ground seems to have never melted.

It has been more than 30 days since the last time the Tubo army was broken, and Li Hao also explained in his letter to Fan Lihua that he paid attention to the city every day, waiting for the crow's arrows to be a letter, one arrow, food shortage, two arrows, food shortage, three arrows, siege the city.

Just one day after receiving Li Hao's letter, there was an arrow in the city, Fan Lihua was very excited, there was already a food shortage in the city, from the food shortage to the food shortage, it will never exceed seven days, from the food shortage to the final best time to attack the city, it will never exceed ten days.

During this time, Garqinling repeatedly sent envoys to negotiate peace with the Tang army, but Fan Lihua refused, Garqinling was helpless, already preparing for escape, he planned the escape route for three days, although Tubo is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but if it is captured, escape is a big problem, because the surrounding mountains are all mountains, and Tubo is surrounded by a huge cage, which also leads to the situation that once the army is defeated, there is no way to escape.

Garqin Mausoleum pondered for a long time, and finally set the place of escape in the northwestern part of Tubo onion collar, onion collar has two countries, namely Xiao Bolu and Bohe, these two countries are dependent on Tubo and survive, the two countries together are less than 50,000 troops, if he leads the army to go, the lords of these two countries do not dare not accept, if there is there, the Tang army is still pursuing, he can flee west into the Western Regions, as long as he does not enter the Tang Dynasty's Anxi four towns within the range.

After seeing the sound of arrows in the city, Fan Lihua immediately sent a fast horse to deliver a letter to Li Hao, telling Li Hao about the matter, and the fast horse galloped all the way and sent the letter to Li Hao two days later.

After Li Hao read the letter in the RV, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say, but he didn't expect that everything was so smooth, and finally waited until there was a shortage of grain in Tibet. After being happy, Li Hao began to write to Fan Lihua, telling her to be careful, because he had already calculated that there were only two options for the Garqin Mausoleum to attack next, one was to attack with the whole army, and the other was to lead the army to escape, and if he escaped, he could only go west.

Li Hao had already thought through all the actions of the Garqin Mausoleum in advance, although he could not go to lead the army in person, but he was really strategizing and winning a thousand miles.

As soon as the letter was written, before it could be handed over to the messenger, Lu Yun suddenly came to report: "Lord Wang, there are hundreds of cavalry in the northeast rushing towards this side, and the speed is very fast!" I don't know if it's friend or foe! ”

"Oh? From the direction of Datang? Li Hao frowned and stuffed the written letter into his arms, picked up the binoculars and opened the car door to get out of the car, and sure enough, he saw hundreds of people in the distance in the northeast direction riding horses to this side.

Li Hao looked at it with a telescope, immediately smiled, and said, "Don't be nervous, your own people, it's Li Yuanzhong and Yu Linjun, hey, it's not right......"

Li Hao said and suddenly frowned and said to himself: "What is Li Yuanzhong doing here with the Yulin Army?" He had a faint premonition of bad health, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

It didn't take long for Li Yuanzhong to come to Li Hao's RV with a large team of Yulin Army, Li Yuanzhong dismounted and walked in front of Li Hao, and bowed: "King Qiongnan." ”

"General Li, it's been a long time." Li Hao handed the telescope to Lu Yun, casually arched his hand, and asked with a smile on his face, "Why did General Li come to Tubo thousands of miles away?" ...... on this cold day It's not the time to go green. ”

"King Qiongnan can really laugh." Li Yuanzhong smiled bitterly for a while, and said with a heavy face, "King Qiongnan, I came to call you back on the emperor's order. ”

"Summoning this king back?" Li Hao frowned when he heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly, and he asked, "What happened?" ”

"Alas......" Li Yuanzhong sighed and said, "I can't say a word or two clearly, let's listen to the holy decree first!" ”

"And the Divine Decree?" Li Hao's face became even more gloomy when he heard this, and sure enough, as he had a hunch, Li Yuanzhong's sudden arrival would definitely not be a good thing, although he was his friend, but this time it did not bring good news, he hurriedly turned his head to face Lu Yun and Xiong Daxiong Er, and said, "Prepare the incense case quickly, and welcome the holy decree!" ”

Lu Yun and Xiong Daxiong Er hurriedly began to prepare the incense case.

Li Yuanzhong beckoned to the rear, and a Yulin army presented a volume of holy decrees, and after Li Hao prepared the incense case, Li Yuanzhong unfolded the holy decree and said in a loud voice: "Li Hao, the chief of the marching army of Luo Dao, receives the order!" ”

"Minister Li Hao takes the order!" Li Hao bowed down to receive the order.

Li Yuanzhong began to read: "The edict said: Li Hao, the general manager of the marching army of Luo Dao, is on the march, without the emperor's order, and has transferred military power privately, and he has no trace of his heavy responsibility...... Now he took the post of the chief manager of the march, and Li Yuanzhong escorted him back to Chang'an, imprisoned in the prison of Dali Temple, and waited for the holy ruling! ”

After the holy decree was recited, Li Hao was stunned there, silent for a long time, he was in a very complicated mood now, very depressed, very angry, in short, very bad, he wanted to scold people, but he didn't know who to scold, scolding Li Shimin? He didn't believe that this was Li Shimin's idea, after all, it was Li Shimin who was bent on attacking Tubo, and the excessive grievance and anger made Li Hao's eyes red, and tears shook in his eyes, as if they were about to fall at any time.

Seeing Li Hao like this, Li Yuanzhong's heart was also sour, he had also fought, and knew how difficult it was to fight abroad, and now the Tang army has gained an advantage, but he was forced to withdraw because of the party dispute between the DPRK and China, what a humiliating thing, but now that the holy decree has been issued, it is difficult to collect the water, everything is a foregone conclusion, Li Yuanzhong can only mourn in silence, and sigh helplessly: "King Qiongnan, take the order." ”

Li Hao silently stepped forward to take the holy decree, tried to keep himself calm, and said slowly: "This is not what Your Majesty meant. ”

Li Yuanzhong nodded and said, "Your Majesty was also forced. ”

Li Hao turned his head to look around, and suddenly said coldly: "Everyone retreats twenty zhang!" ”

Lu Yun and Xiong Daxiong Er immediately tore apart twenty zhang away, and Li Yuanzhong knew that Li Hao had something to say privately, so he also asked the Yulin army to retreat twenty zhang.

After they all retreated, Li Hao said, "Tell me, whose idea is this?" Is it the eldest grandson Mowgli? ”

Li Yuanzhong nodded helplessly with a wry smile: "The prince is smart, he can guess it, the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers said that you intended to rebel and wanted to take you back for interrogation, although Your Majesty tried his best to protect you, but he was powerless." ”

"I see." Li Hao nodded, and said slowly, "The power struggle is wrong for the country, I didn't expect that I would enjoy Yue Fei's encounter once in my lifetime, and the eldest grandson Wuji is determined to be Qin Hui." ”

Li Yuanzhong asked suspiciously: "Who is Yue Fei?" Who is Qin Hui? ”

Li Hao naturally couldn't answer him who was Yue Fei and who was Qin Hui, he turned his head and pointed in the direction of Luoqi City, and said: "Fan Lihua is leading a large army under Luoqi City, you must go to announce the decree to her, hurry up, I won't leave you." ”

Li Yuanzhong said: "Where the duty is, I must take you with me." ”

Li Hao smiled miserably: "If you want my life, take me with you." ”

Li Yuanzhong was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "How can the prince say this?" ”

Li Hao said: "I said before that Tubo is in the plateau area, and we Central Plains people come here, it is difficult for us to adapt to the plateau climate, and there will be altitude sickness, General Li, don't you have altitude sickness?" ”

"Naturally, I feel very uncomfortable." Li Yuanzhong said, "The body is weak, and the chest is like a boulder, and I am panicked." ”

"That's altitude sickness." Li Hao said slowly, "Some people have more serious altitude sickness, and I am the kind of person who has a very strong altitude sickness, you look at me, my lips are purple, my face is pale, and I have to walk very hard, there is a higher mountain pass ahead, more than four hundred zhang higher than here, altitude sickness will reach the maximum, if I get there, I am afraid that I will pass out, if I am unlucky, I am afraid that my life will be gone." ”

Li Yuanzhong looked at Li Hao dumbfounded when he heard this, he couldn't believe that this was true, but he saw that Li Hao's face was pale and his lips were purple, it was indeed a strong symptom of altitude sickness, because there were so many people in the Yulin Army who had this symptom a few days ago, and they were too weak to ride a horse, Li Yuanzhong specially sent someone to send him back to Qinghai Wei Castle.

"Let's go find Fan Lihua." Li Hao said slowly, "I'm waiting for you here, bring me a letter to her, she has a strong temper, and this time she personally led the army to break through the enemy, if you want to persuade her, it is difficult, I have to write a letter myself." ”

Li Yuanzhong hesitated for a moment and nodded vigorously: "Okay!" ”

Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "Wait a minute, I'll write a letter." With that, he turned around and walked back into the RV.

Li Hao returned to the RV for less than a minute, and came out with a letter in his hand, he handed the envelope to Li Yuanzhong, and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Yuanzhong nodded, stuffed the letter into his arms, turned around and left, came to the front of the Yulin army, got on the horse and shouted: "Keep going!" Then he bypassed Li Hao's camp and headed towards the city.

Seeing Li Yuanzhong leave, Li Hao turned to look in the direction of Chang'an, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light burst out in his eyes, he wanted to clench his fist, but he didn't have the strength to do so.

To be honest, he himself doesn't like to stay on the plateau, because staying here, he feels like a waste, the plateau is his forbidden area, he wants to go back, but not now, he just wants to break through Tubo as soon as possible, and then return with a triumph, after all, it took so much manpower and material resources to come, and sacrificed a lot of soldiers, seeing that there is a food shortage in Luoqi, and if you wait for another month, you can take Luoqicheng, but the eldest grandson Wuji stabbed him in the back, and this knife stabbed it really hurt.

"Eldest grandson, you wait." Li Hao gritted his teeth and slowly whispered, "Don't you want me to go back, then I'll go back, you wait for me in Chang'an!" ”
