Chapter 1055: Wu Meiniang secretly sends a glance

  Chapter 1055 Wu Meiniang secretly sends glances

   "Shun Niang pays homage to Duke Wei!"

   "Meiniang pays homage to Wei Guogong!"

   "Rou Niang pays homage to Wei Guogong!"

  In the backyard of the governor's yamen in Jianzhou, Mrs. Yi of the warrior and Mrs. Yang, the wife of the warrior Xun, led three young women in. They bowed down to pay respects. They turned out to be the three sisters of the Wu family.

   "Why are the three young ladies in Jianzhou?" Qin Lang was a little surprised. They are the daughters of the warrior Xun, so they should be in Luoyang.

  Warrior Yi smiled bitterly, not knowing how to explain it, he just casually said that his wife had just picked it up from Chang'an, and because she was close to a few nieces and was reluctant to part with her, so they picked it up together.

  Seeing this, Qin Lang remembered some rumors.

  Samurai Xun's wife, Yang, was born in Hongnong Yang, not the original wife of Samurai Xun. Before Yang, the original wife of Samurai Xun, Lishi, gave birth to sons Wu Yuanqing and Wu Yuanshuang. The Wu brothers have always had a bad relationship with their stepmother and three half-sisters. After the samurai Xun went to the Luoyang court, the Yang family and his children stayed in Chang'an, resulting in restlessness in the house.

   Yang asked Samurai Yi to make the decision. Later, Samurai Yi came to Jianzhou to take office, so he simply asked his wife to bring them to Jianzhou. It was right to relax and save them from being bullied.

  Wu Shun, the eldest sister of the Wu family, was engaged to Qin Lang's sixth younger brother, Qin Gui, Qin Shandao, and they were about to get married. The plan was to officially marry after Qin Gui's sixteen-year-old coronation ceremony.

   "Sixth brother, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and pay a visit to Mrs. Ying Guogong."

  The old sixth Qin Guijue was granted the title of Duke of Licheng County. He was fourteen years old this year and it was the first time he saw his fiancée, so he was a little shy at the moment.

  Wu Shun grew up very well. It should be said that the three sisters of the Wu family are all very beautiful and know how to be polite.

  Qin Lang looked at Wu Mei a few more times. In history, this was the later Emperor Zetian, China's first female emperor. I don't know if she can still go on the original track in this historical time and space.

  Wu Meiniang is now fourteen years old, and it stands to reason that she has almost entered the palace. It seems that in history, Li Shimin was lucky in Luoyang Palace.

  Why did Wu Mei come to Jianzhou in the middle of Shu now?

   "My condolences to Duke Wei!"

  Mr. Yang should be in her fifties, but she looks the same as in her thirties. She still has the same charm. I really don't know how to maintain it.

Wu Shun was two years older than Lao Liu, and at this time he was already 28 years old, and he was slim and budding. He looked much more mature than Lao Liu. Lao Liu was still a stunned boy, but Wu Shun had already It is slim.

   Originally, the two got married two years later, but now that Qin Qiong died of illness, it has to be pushed back.

  Wu Shun is the future daughter-in-law of the Qin family who hasn't passed the family yet, but she has already taken the initiative to wear mourning for Qin Qiong. This deliberate act made Qin Lang feel more sensible.

  Stayed in Jianzhou for one night, the sixth child, Qin Gui, didn't say anything to Wu Shun. After all, even though the unmarried man and woman are engaged, it's not convenient for Qin Gui to be hot and filial at the moment.

Wu Mei was the most generous among the three sisters. It was said that she was not engaged yet. In front of Qin Lang, this 14-year-old girl showed a look of admiration, bold and enthusiastic, and Qin Lang was a bit arrogant Feeling overwhelmed.

  Early the next morning, Qin Lang hurriedly continued on the road with his brothers.

  Warrior Yi still had to wait for the prefectural soldiers and regiments to assemble before coming to Songzhou. When saying goodbye, Wu Shun took out a cloak that Qin Gui had sewn overnight and tied it on him personally, telling him to be careful.

  But Wu Mei gave Qin Lang a sachet, which was very fragrant.

   "There is also a safety talisman inside. I have worn it since I was a child, and it is very effective. Now I give it to Saburo. I hope it can also keep Saburo safe."

  This girl was so bold that her meaning was beyond words, but Qin Lang could only smile, and refused after a few times but couldn't accept it.

  He was very clear about the girl's thoughts, but he didn't respond.

   Today's Qin Langzao is popular among thousands of girls. After all, he is young and handsome, has achieved fame early, has a high position and a lot of money, which girl doesn't like such a person.

  Although Qin Lang is the elder brother of Wu Meizhun's brother-in-law, it does not prevent him from becoming obsessed with Qin Lang and even wanting to marry into the Qin family as a concubine. Seniority is not a big deal in the families of these top aristocrats.

   "I wish I could be a man, otherwise I will serve Saburo for my cousin Yuanzhong." The girl said boldly.

  Qin Lang hurriedly said goodbye, and this fourteen-year-old girl didn't know how unrestrained and passionate things she had to say, and she was really not in the mood to talk about it now.

   bid farewell to everyone, got on the horse and continued westward.

  Wu Mei stood there in a daze. She had already gone away, but she still couldn't stay there.

   "Er Niang misses spring!" Wu Shun laughed seeing her. "Do you still want to be my sister-in-law?"

   "Qin Sanlang is an indomitable hero, and he is also a talented and passionate wit, why should I admire him?"

   "But Saburo doesn't seem to respond to you."

   "I can even tame the fierce horse in my uncle's mansion, why are you afraid of it?"

   "Your methods of taming the fierce horse are too fierce. With whips, iron rods and daggers, the fierce horse is afraid of you, but Saburo may not be afraid."

   "There is a way to tame a fierce horse, but there is another way to win a man's heart." Wu Mei was not discouraged.

  Mr. Yang heard the whispers of the two sisters, and gave the daughters a dissatisfied look.

   "Your father sent a letter from Luoyang, saying that the palace will be drafted for a saint, Erniang, are you sure you won't go?"

   "Mother, I ran from Chang'an to this uncle in Jianzhou because I didn't want to enter the palace. I don't want to enter the palace. There are three thousand beauties in the harem. Even if I enter the palace, I have no chance, so I don't want to."

Yang reminded Wu Mei, "But you love Qin Sanlang, there is no chance. You are also the daughter of the dignified Duke's mansion. Would you like to be a concubine? Besides, you may not be willing to be a concubine if you want Duke Wei. What's wrong with entering the palace?" ? There are your aunts and cousins ​​in the palace who can help and take care of you, so you don’t have to worry about your future.”

   "Oh, don't talk about this anymore. Do you think it will be dangerous for Saburo to go to Songzhou?"

  Wu Shun smiled, "What danger could there be? It would be too stupid for Tubo to dare to join the bandits at this time. Who knows that Qin Sanlang is the reincarnation of the God of War?"

  ·······

  As soon as Qin Lang left Jianzhou, he no longer cared about the love of the Huaichun girl. He only wanted to get to Songzhou as soon as possible, not because he was worried about the Tubo invasion.

   "Is it true that there are 300,000 people in Tubo?"

   While resting at the post station on the way, the Shiro brothers asked their elder brother.

"Three hundred thousand people is impossible. Although Tubo dominates the snow-covered plateau, its population is actually very small. Although it has annexed Subi and other tribes, its population is only a few hundred thousand households. You can see from Tubo's military system. Five is like sixty-one Dongdai, one Dongdai is a thousand households, this Dongdai is not only the military establishment but also their usual administrative establishment.”

"There are a total of sixty-one Dongdai, and a total of sixty-one thousand soldiers, that is, sixty-one thousand military households. This is basically all the soldiers that can fight in Tubo. According to their fighting methods, generally the entire Dongdai Dai is dispatched together, or even a soldier is dispatched, and other Yu Ding, women and children in the military household will also follow the action by driving cattle and sheep, which is somewhat similar to Tuyuhun, so there is no need to worry about the logistics problem. Anyway, wherever you go, you will graze and bring Acting together with the family, there are advantages and disadvantages, if you lose, you may be punished."

  Qin Lang speculates that the so-called 300,000 people is an exaggeration.

However, considering that Tubo dispatched 120,000 troops when it pacified Supi, the theory is that Tubo can dispatch at least 120,000 or even 200,000 troops this time. After all, Datang is far stronger than Supi. To challenge Datang, whether it is a test or something, you have to go all out.

Of course, even if there are really 200,000 people, according to the military system and combat methods of Tubo, the 200,000 miles must include family members. Even if there are 40,000 to 50,000 households, even if one household has one regular soldier and one or two auxiliary soldiers, the real combat troops are less than 100,000, and even the elite may be 30,000 to 40,000.

   This is actually in line with the relatively backward national conditions of Tubo.

  Of course, today’s Tubo is definitely stronger than Tuyuhun in terms of combat effectiveness. After all, it is in a stage of rapid rise, there are not many internal conflicts, and its combat effectiveness is still quite strong. Especially in the locations of Songzhou and Dangxiang, the Tibetans were obviously more adaptable, having many advantages in terms of geography and climate.

   "Tubo really defeated Duomi, Bailan, and Dangxiang? Can they really fight all the way to the city of Songzhou? Could it be that Songzhou has already fallen, and if it falls, our grandfather..."

Qin Lang interrupted the old fifth Qin Xun's words. This newly appointed Qi Guogong and Zuowei Zhonglang followed all the way. As a result of practicing riding and archery, it was also under the strong request of Qin Qiong and Qin Lang in the past two years that the fifth child increased his riding and archery homework a little. Otherwise, he would have been lying halfway through this journey.

   But now I heard that Tubo may have an army of more than 100,000 to 200,000 troops, I am still very scared.

On the contrary, Qin Li, the fourth eldest Duke of Jinan County, said loudly, "I'm sorry they don't have the ability, and besides, I also stayed in Songzhou before. Our grandfather has guarded Songzhou and operated it for many years. Songzhou City is controlled and dangerous, and it is very strong. Even if Tubo came to attack with an army of 200,000, it would not be easy to attack."

   "Didn't it mean that Domi, Bailan, Dangxiang, etc. have all lost?" the fifth child asked worriedly.

Qin Lang comforted him, "Domi, Bailan, and Dangxiang and Qiang are all nomadic tribes. The so-called defeat is at most that they saw Tubo's menacing menacing forces, so they avoided the wind. This is normal. Domi and other tribes , No one is as powerful as Tubo, even if it is Dangxiang, although its strength is not weak, it is definitely not willing to fight head-on with Tubo."

   Tubo fought all the way, and it was normal for these Qiangs to avoid the sharp edge, so Tubo's way of defeating all the tribes was actually very false. The fact is that at most they wiped out some small tribes that could not escape.

  The Qiang tribe is a nomadic tribe. Anyway, there are no cities and villages. You can come and go. Even if the Tubo fight all the way to the Songzhou city, there is nothing to brag about.
