Chapter 224 From Condor's Dismount
Qin Ling sat on the tall horse.

He didn't wear armor, but was dressed in a red robe, and he wore pulu (pǔ lu) arm ornaments with several huge emerald rusters on it.

At first glance, it looks like a civil minister, rather than the future war god of Tubo.

Historically, Qinling defeated God of War Xue Rengui, Prime Minister Li Jingxuan, General Liu Shenli, famous general Wang Xiaojie, Prime Minister Lou Shide, Prime Minister Wei Daijie and others in his lifetime. Except for Li Jingxuan who was a parallel importer, the others were all outstanding.

The three extremely large-scale battles at Dafeichuan, Chengfengling, and Suluohanshan caused countless casualties to the Tang army, and led troops to invade Longyou several times, causing heavy losses to the Tang army.

As a result, on the border of the Tang Dynasty, only the famous name of Qinling Mausoleum is known, and that is true to stop children from crying and terrified.

Of course, the current Qinling is only a general, not the Tubo God of War.

The battle of Dafeichuan wiped out [-] Tang troops, making him so powerful that all countries in the Western Regions were terrified.

But recently, he retreated twice in succession, and the aura that shrouded his body immediately dissipated a lot.

Qin Ling knew it well, and his face was a little displeased, but his son Gong Ren, who was following him, couldn't help it: "Father, we have spent so much effort to obtain the land of Tuyuhun. I'm not reconciled!"

Looking at his fourteen-year-old son, who was already a tall man with a heroic posture, Qin Ling was a little relieved, but he taught him severely: "If you retreat, you should retreat. Don't hesitate, we have already come here, immediately To go back to the border of Tubo, do you still remember those things?"

Gong Ren said: "Tuyuhun has long since perished. This is our land. The land of Qinghai is rich. It is the best territory for our clan. If the Tang people have to go and station troops in Qinghai, it will be very difficult for us to regain it.

Qin Ling had the intention of taking the school exam: "Then what are you going to do?"

Not long after joining the army, Gongren asked in great confusion: "Father, why did you cut down the army and disperse so many soldiers? I will gather troops in Tuyuhun, with [-] people, and defeat the Tang people once again. With such power and influence, I am afraid that there is no need to go back to the royal city, and Zanpu will have to obey orders obediently!"

Qin Ling showed disappointment, raised his right hand, and whipped the horsewhip: "This is your good strategy? If you don't know how to say it, don't say it! Do you think that the victory of Dafeichuan is because I waited for more soldiers to be able to fight?" Bully the few with the crowd?"

Gong Ren showed a look of horror, he didn't dare to dodge, and hurriedly said: "Of course not, it is father, you lead the army well, and when you saw a weak spot, you led the troops to attack, and cut off the Tang army's luggage, in order to win a big victory."

Qinling snorted coldly and closed his whip: "Thanks to you not being so confused, my victory in the battle of Dafeichuan was actually quite a fluke. If it wasn't for the Tang general's discord and being scouted by the divine guards, I would not have found such a good opportunity. To be able to confront Xue Rengui's vanguard force head-on, I'm afraid it will be more defeats than victories!"

Gong Ren frowned: "Father, [-] vs. [-], the advantage is still there. Are the Tang people really that powerful?"

Qinling said: "Of course, Shenwei has gone deep into the Tang Dynasty these years, collecting all kinds of information. The more he understands, the more frightening he is! In my Tubo, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to ask for a piece of armor. Tang soldiers have thirteen kinds of armor. Soldiers can wear armor, captains can wear leather armor, more than half of them wear armor, their weapons are far superior to ours, and their training is more stringent!"

Gong Ren gasped: "More than half of them wear armor?"

Qin Ling went on to say: "And [-]% of the soldiers in the army are guarding the luggage and not participating in the front-line combat. This is even more surprising. Look at my personal guards. Most of the armor they wear is from the Dafeichuan army. , Picked up from Tang Ren's corpse!"

Gongren looked at the elite behind him, squeezed the leather armor on his body, and fell silent.

Qinling raised the long whip in his hand: "You have to admit that if there is a confrontation, compared with the elite and brave Tang army, my Tubo soldiers are much inferior, even in terms of numbers, three to four hundred thousand. What's the use?"

"My family's private armored soldiers are only [-], and the five Ru armored soldiers are less than [-]. The rest of the Hu and Qiang people are all falling with the wind. Without enough benefits, it is difficult to persuade their chiefs to join the battle. "

"As for the [-] soldiers of Tuyuhun, they were untrained and dispersed as soon as they were rushed by the Tang army, and I left them behind as bait. It was an honor to let them fight Tang. Humph!"

"There have been frequent wars in recent years, and the Tuyuhun survivors' fear of war has risen again. Many defected, let alone things!"

Gong Ren showed a ruthless look when he heard this: "Those slaves are already low in combat power. If you kill the most ruthless rioters, you will be able to live in peace for a long time!"

Qinling nodded: "If I were to fight against the Tang people, I would do so, but this time is not the time. Tuyuhun suffered a disaster this year, and the supply of food and grass is insufficient. How can I support these survivors and let them fend for themselves! We will retire now. This is also a good time, if the people of Tang occupy Tuyuhun, will they give food to the victims?"

Gong Ren thought for a while, and immediately clapped his hands and applauded: "When the Tang people feed those slaves, I will seize this land later, father is wise!"

Qin Ling said: "This is not a plan for my father, it is your uncle's arrangement. When marching and fighting, the most important thing is to know yourself and the enemy. You must not have arrogance. The Tang people have deep roots. They can afford to lose, but we cannot. Yes, think about what you just said, is it stupid!"

Gongren whispered: "Yes."

Qin Ling's face darkened: "My father, Qin Ling, has no dogs and sons. If you are useless, don't blame me for being ruthless with whips. Do you understand? Speak up!"

Gongren said loudly: "Father, I understand!!"

After the father and son were educated, another thin and unattractive man stepped forward: "General!"

Qin Ling looked at Misa, the commander of the hidden guards: "The matter of Tuyuhun is finished?"

There are five commanders of the dark guards, and Misa seems to be the second one, behind Yang Zaiwei, but in fact, he is the one who is really entrusted with important tasks and wields great power.

The reason why Misa is deeply trusted is because of his extremely high efficiency: "General, please rest assured that all the chiefs are under the watchful eye of the guards, and the Tang people will never use the old Tuyuhun clan to rule."

Qinling said: "Create more chaos. Tuyuhun was already affected by the disaster this year, and if more people die, it will be convenient for me to return later."

Misa took the order: "Yes!"

Killing intent appeared in Qin Ling's eyes: "It's all right here, you take the elite back to the king's city first, and wait for my brother to dispatch. If the Tang envoys break out, don't hold back except the envoys who hold the festival. Kill a few. Let's see if they dare to make trouble!"

Misa knew that Zan Xiruo might not do this, but he didn't dare to refute it, and said: "Yes!"

Just as he was talking, Gong Ren shouted on the other side: "Father, look quickly, it seems that Uncle Wu is here!"

A group of black spots gradually grew larger in front, and several fast horses rushed forward. The leader was Bren Zanren, who waved and shouted: "Second brother! Second brother!"

Qin Ling finally showed a smile and went up to meet him: "Fifth brother!"

After getting off the horse, Brun Zanren and Qin Ling hugged each other fiercely, and then looked at Gongren again: "Good boy, how long have we not seen each other, he has grown taller again, so strong!"

Gong Ren was very happy: "I've been strong enough for a long time. When I get back to Wangcheng, I'll play polo with Uncle Wu!"

Bren Zanjian's laughter stagnated slightly: "Let's talk, let's talk!"

Qin Ling immediately asked: "Fifth brother, how is the situation in Wangcheng?"

Bren Zanren's face darkened: "Zanpu recruited the Wuru League. All the ministries have sent people, and many of them have arrived in Wangcheng. Second brother, you came back at the right time. This group of people is restless again!"

Qinling's expression changed: "The Wuru alliance is the responsibility of the great debate, did the elder brother stop it?"

Even during Songtsen Gampo's period, when the monarchy was centralized, he had to promise that if any major decision-making event related to the entire country happened, Zanpu would convene the five Ruben Leagues for discussion, and the resolution would only take effect after the discussion was passed.

One of the important responsibilities of Tubo Dalun is to preside over the alliance, how to coordinate the interests and contradictions of the various tribes, and let Zanpu’s orders be carried out. This is a test of normal Dalun, and Kilixu in history did it especially Well, it's like Tubo Di Renjie.

Zan Xiruo's previous style of painting was the simplest and crudest. The first person sat down and looked around: "Who is in favor? Who is against?"

The current style of painting is to lie in bed and work every day, until exhausted, and then raise your hand sickly: "Medicine...medicine..."

Bren Zan Ren explained the situation, and Qin Ling said angrily: "I said earlier that I would keep more guards at home. If the guards were tight, how could my brother be injured by the assassins sent by Zan Pu?"

Buren praised the blade and sighed: "It's my fault too, I should have asked Xiao Ming Wang of Dalun Temple to protect my elder brother earlier, if I had him earlier, my elder brother would not have been assassinated!"

Qin Ling said displeasedly: "Fifth brother, I didn't say you, whether you are a Bon believer or a Buddhist monk, you can't believe it. Those who are cultivated in the clan are confidantes. When I return to the city, let that little Ming king leave immediately! "

Bren Zanren was a little displeased, but he still claimed credit: "I have long wanted to let go of the idea of ​​recruiting divine guards, and my elder brother also agreed. Recently, five hundred people were selected from the refugees, and the manpower was immediately much more abundant."

Qin Ling was puzzled: "Is Sun Bo girl enough?"

Bren praised the sword and said with a smile: "In extreme times, don't think about those things!"

Misa, who was eavesdropping not far away, suddenly changed his expression.

Qin Ling also shook his head and said: "It's not good to break your trust. Stop this matter. The guards you recruited in a hurry are just mobs and can't make a difference!"

Bren praised the sword: "Please rest assured, second brother, this is a stopgap measure. When you return, the deployment of the divine guard will return to normal."

Qin Ling sighed: "That's okay, since you don't plan to ration the five hundred new recruits to Sun Bo, arrange some dangerous things to consume them as soon as possible!"

Misa who eavesdropped shrank his pupils.

Qinling ignored Shenwei's life and death, and instead asked, "How is Sun Boru?"

Bren praised the blade: "The transfer of soldiers is the most frequent!"

Qinling's expression became solemn: "Sun Boru must not be confused. Our army has now withdrawn from the land of Tuyuhun. The food and grass supply depends entirely on the country. Sun Boru's supply cannot be lost...Misa!"

Misa hurried forward: "General!"

Qinling said: "Don't go back to the royal city, take the elite to Siru's land, check their situation carefully, especially Sun Boru, if they have any abnormalities, take action immediately, don't report to me, soldiers are precious, go !"

Misa took the order: "Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, he turned around vigorously and led a mighty hundreds of elite guards into the territory of Tubo, and immediately dispersed to the four lands.

After making arrangements for Qin Ling, he asked a few more questions about the situation in the royal city, and suddenly looked into the air: "Fifth brother, is that the eagle you raised?"

Bren Zanren raised his head and looked at the eagle flying in mid-air with a strange trajectory. He felt a little familiar inexplicably, and shook his head: "No!"

Qin Ling observed for a while: "This eagle flies interestingly. Could it be that it wants to avoid the arrows? I don't allow Tubo to have such a clever eagle, let me shoot it down!"

As soon as the order was given, dozens of cavalry galloped out of the guard, all of them were Kong Wu's powerful sharpshooters, bowed their bows and set up arrows, and shot towards the sky.

"Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—"

However, Ying'er had already sensed the danger of home, and immediately dodged and pulled up, drawing perfect trajectories until he was out of the maximum range of the arrow.

Seeing the arrows falling weakly, the eagle circled a few times in the sky, laughed sharply, and flew towards the distance.
