People in Datang have been expelled from school

Chapter 666 Dharma Name Tang Xuanzang

Just thinking of a guard in the army to report, "His Royal Highness, someone wants to see you."

Originally, he was troubled, but Li Ke said with displeasure, "Songtsan Gampo?"

The guard said: "It's a child with a guard, and sent a letter, saying that it is going to be delivered to His Highness the King of Shu."

"Child?" Li Ke was a little surprised.

The guard nodded, "It is indeed a child."

When Li Ke walked outside the camp, what he saw was indeed a child, who looked to be only seven years old. This child also had a guard wearing strange armor.

The child saluted politely and said, "Is it His Royal Highness the King of Shu in person?"

Central Plains dialect?Li Ke asked suspiciously: "Are you a child of the Central Plains?"

The child smiled and said, "My father is a businessman, and he asked me to deliver this letter to His Royal Highness the King of Shu in person."

Li Ke took the parchment and observed this very polite child again.

He opened the parchment scroll suspiciously, and what caught his eye was the characters of the Central Plains.

It seems that the original script of the person who wrote this letter is a bit rusty.

A lot of characters are missing strokes, but I can roughly understand what it means.

It can be summed up in a very simple sentence. The Western Turkic people in the southwest direction have changed and are gathering towards Lhasa.

After reading it, Li Ke asked, "Who is your father?"

The child smiled and said, "My father's name is Mr. Mo. I should go back after the letter is delivered."

After speaking, the child climbed onto the horse with difficulty, and rode away with his guards.

Li Ke glanced at the contents on the parchment again.

Back at the camp and told Wang Xuance about this matter.

Wang Xuance said: "Our scouts have also sent news. During this period of time, there is indeed one thing heard in the Tubo area, that is, there is a man named Mr. Mo who can help people here to buy food and weapons in Guanzhong. Anyone can buy it for money.”

Li Ke stared at the burning fire in front of him, it was already night.

"Why do you think they want to tell us this news?"

Wang Xuance shook his head, "I don't know, but no one knows who this Mr. Mo is, nor where this Mr. Mo is. It's just a few children who are helping Mr. Mo."

Li Ke was inexplicably uneasy, "This incident in Tubo is really becoming more and more confusing. Since this Mr. Mo sent us news, is he an enemy or a friend?"

Wang Xuance also fell silent.

At midnight, the camp was reorganized.

Those who should rest also rest almost.

The army packed up the camp and began to trek.

The Western Turks in the southeast are not far from here.

It's about half a day's journey, and it can be reached in two hours with a quick march.

Wang Xuance said to Li Ke: "His Royal Highness, they have more people than us, and it is best to take them down before dawn."

After marching for more than an hour, the scout reported, "We are still three miles away from the Western Turkic camp."

It went on for another half an hour.

Finally saw the flames in the distance, not far away should be the camp of the Western Turks.

The marching footsteps stopped, and the team of 1000 people was silent and very quiet.

The scout told Li Ke about the terrain here. Not far away was a wetland, like a small stream that had dried up several times.

Find out the surrounding environment.

Li Ke took out the map and called several team leaders to start the layout.

A team of 1000 people is divided into five teams.

A team of 200 people.

A team of people go to the wetland to collect wet grass, which will produce a lot of smoke after burning.

Four other groups of men and horses set up ambushes around them, as long as the Western Turks wanted to escape from the camp to escape the smoke.

Those who set up an ambush can attack and kill.

Wang Xuance calculated the time and said, "It will be dawn in another hour."

Li Ke blew his whistle, and the team started to move.

Wang Xuance led a team of men to set up an ambush on a low slope.

Li Ke personally led people to collect wet grass.

There are still some dead animals on the edge of the river beach, emitting a foul smell.

These Western Turks are really not particular.

Li Ke spat in disgust.

After calculating the distance and wind direction, the wet grass was placed into a wall half a person's height, and some kerosene was poured on it to start burning.

Thick smoke rose up and drifted silently along the wind towards the camp of the Western Turks.

Like a cloud of fog, it quickly drifted into the camp of the Western Turks.

Gradually filled the entire Western Turkic camp.

The enemy's attack can be guarded against, and the rain can also be avoided.

But you can't drive away the smoke, and there's nothing you can do about it.

And it is even more difficult to tell the direction of the smoke in the dark.

The only way to avoid being choked to death by the smoke is to escape from the camp.

As the wet grass burns, the fire is turned up and the smoke grows.

There were many torches shaking in the Western Turkic camp.

It seems that the Western Turks have panicked.

Wang Xuance stared at the swaying torches in the distance, and the shouts and barking of horses, he knew that the Western Turkic people were already in chaos.

As the smoke got bigger and bigger, Wang Xuance opened the water bag and poured water on a cloth, covering his face.

All members of the guard do the same.

Smoke also drifted towards the ambush point with the wind.

The sound of horseshoes was getting closer and closer, Wang Xuance saw the torches in the smoke getting closer, and picked up the triangular army thorn in his hand.

When the Western Turks approached, Wang Xuance shouted, "Kill!"

"kill!"

Cries of killing sounded, and the brigade of Western Turks who had just escaped from the smoke looked around in a panic, and the sound of arrows piercing the air continued to be heard.

Just as he was about to shout that there was an ambush, a flash of knife light flashed in front of his eyes.

Wang Xuance calmly watched the members of the guard, killing these flustered Western Turks.

These Western Turkic people escaped in a panic, and some died without being able to see the situation clearly with their eyes red.

Some were still coughing non-stop, unable to even parry, and were killed directly.

Until dawn, the battle came to an end.

The smoke also dissipated, and Li Ke led people into the camp. There were still a few scattered Western Turks here, and some Western Turks were choked to death by the smoke because they couldn't find their way.

Everyone began to clean the battlefield, collect food and weapons, and prepare for the next raid.

Wang Xuance also came to the camp, "His Royal Highness, everything outside has been cleaned up."

"Report!" A soldier came to report and said, "Report, a monk has been caught."

"Monk?" Wang Xuance asked with great interest: "Is there anyone from Western Turks who is a monk?"

"It's a Central Plains monk."

"Central Plains monk?"

Li Ke and Wang Xuance came to a corner of the camp, and indeed there was a monk in ragged clothes.

The monk had a hoarse voice, apparently choked to death by the smoke.

Li Ke handed him a water bag.

After seeing the monk drink the water, he felt much better.

"You are a monk from the Central Plains."

The other party handed the water bag to Li Ke, and then bowed and said: "This general, a poor monk, came from the Tang Dynasty, and his dharma name is Tang Xuanzang."
