Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 689
Chapter [-] Datang is also an eventful year

It was raining in the sky, and the soldiers of the Tubo army were drenched in water.At this time, it was very cold when blown by the mountain wind.

Many Tubo soldiers were so cold that their lips were blue and purple, and they were trembling.

Even putting your body on the horse's back won't help.Gradually, the road surface became slippery and muddy, and people would fall if they were not careful. Many soldiers fell off their horses and their noses and faces were bruised.

Tubo is poor, and things are more precious than human life, but now many people simply throw away their weapons and armor. When he crossed Liangzhou before, he was like two different people.

Ru Ting Zang Gu turned a deaf ear to the complaints from his subordinates, and only cared about riding his horse, leading his cronies along the way.He really couldn't figure it out, the snow plains were a forbidden area for the Central Plains people, no matter how strong the Central Plains people were, once they came to the snow plains, they would feel as if their souls had been withdrawn, their limbs would be weak, and they would feel dizzy.However, according to the scout's observation at this time, the generals of the Tang army showed no signs of weakness, but became more and more vigorous.

I can't beat and beat, and I can't get tired of procrastinating.

Ru Tsang Zanggu began to regret that the Tuyuhun people pretended to be Tang people and attacked the Tubo tribe. He didn't know about this kind of thing, he knew it from the very beginning.The people of Tang would never have the skillful riding skills of the Tuyuhun people, not to mention that appearance can be deceiving, and the smell of sheep on the Tuyuhun people would not be deceiving.

Even if the Tang people didn't take a bath for half a year, the smell on their bodies was far less severe than that of the Tuyuhun people.

In fact, Ru Chen Zang Gu was just trying to grab some property for the winter.

However, this is a good thing, with great difficulty breaking through some villages and towns of the Tang people and grabbing nearly [-] shi of grain. The grain was not wasted, and all of it was eaten into the stomachs of the Tibetans.

Now that he didn't take advantage of it, instead he was beaten all over his head. Ru Chen Zang Gu already had the intention of withdrawing from Su Pi.

At this moment, a scout came galloping on a horse with his whole body wet, and shouted in panic, "Respect Ru, officers and soldiers of the Tang army...the officers and soldiers are making great progress toward Dongmi!"

Dongmi, the ancient Dongmi Kingdom, also known as the Dongmi tribe, covers as large as the Tongtian River in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River in Qinghai today.

Rudi Zanggu smiled bitterly: "Our main force is here, and there are only a thousand or hundreds of old and weak soldiers left behind in these tribes. Their progress is naturally fast! Leave them alone, speed up, and return to Subi as soon as possible. Safe day!"

The altitude in Subi is even higher, over 4000 meters. In that area, even the Tibetans would feel short of breath, and the Tang people would definitely be unable to move there.

Of course, even if you lose, you can ask other Ru for help.

When the Tubo soldiers heard Rudi Zanggu's order to withdraw to Subi, they were immediately unhappy.Although it is a bit bitter and tiring now, they are wandering around the pasture area of ​​the Tuyuhun people. No matter how bitter and cold the West Sea is, it is much stronger than the snowy field.

In the winter on the snowfield, countless small tribes will disappear, and new tribes will appear.As long as these small tribes don't save enough fuel, the cold winter will freeze them into popsicles.

Compared with death in battle, Tubo soldiers would rather die in the hands of the enemy than be frozen to death.Ru Ting Zang Gu didn't know how to do ideological work, and those who couldn't figure it out or were unwilling to retreat would twitch violently when they stepped forward.

The Tubo soldiers who were beaten to pieces had no choice but to swallow their anger and continue to move forward with the army.

This move of Ru Ting Zang Gu made the Tubo soldiers panic, and felt that a catastrophe was imminent, and people kept deserting and joining the ranks of fleeing.

The morale of the Tubo people began to collapse, and in fact the Tang army was not feeling well either.

After more than a month of chasing, the enthusiasm for defeating the Tubo people in Gulang Town has long since faded, and all the soldiers are exhausted.God is fair, while wetting the Tubo people, we are also wetting the soldiers of the Tang army.

Chen Ying was riding on the horse, shivering from the cold.Chen Ying looked at the sky, although the rain was not heavy, but this kind of rain never stopped, God knows when it will end.

Chen Ying looked at the exhausted soldiers and ordered: "Choose a high ground and set up camp!"

When the soldiers heard the words, they immediately burst into cheers.

All the soldiers dug ditches to dig ditches, felled wood and pitched tents.

Chen Ying changed into dry clothes, and then Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui went to the central army camp.This is not Chen Ying's tent for a four-wheeled caravan. It is a temporary tent. The interior of the tent is very crude. There is a wooden pillar blackened by smoke in the middle. The ground is also full of potholes. , a table that can fit your fingers through the gaps, four elm wooden stools, and several braziers in the corners. The fire in the braziers makes the inside of the tent much warmer than the outside.

Luo Shixin untied the cloak and put it on the bench.Sit down and ask Chen Ying directly: "General Protector, these Tubo people are fucking rabbits, they slip away too fast, no matter how we chase them, we will be half a day away from them!"

"It took a long time. Yesterday, we passed by the camp of the Tubo people. The fire in their firepit was still hot. It will not exceed an hour after we left!" Zhang Shigui said, "General Protector, there are three of us there. It's been a month, and now the Tibetans have also retreated, shall we withdraw to the Western Regions?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "No way!"

Luo Shixin and Zhang Shigui looked at Chen Ying suspiciously: "Why?"

"Have you forgotten our purpose of coming to Xihai this time?"

"Purpose?"

"It seems that you have all forgotten!" Chen Ying pointed to the northwest: "Have you forgotten that there is Murong Fuyun in Gaochang Kingdom?"

The two suddenly realized.

Chen Yingyou sighed and said: "I really underestimated Murong Fuyun, but he can hold his breath!"

"Da Duhu, I'm afraid it's not that Murong Fuyun can hold his breath, but that he has other plans!"

At this moment, Guo Xiaoke's voice came from outside the tent.

Chen Ying turned to look at Guo Xiaoke and said, "How do you say that?"

"Murong Fuyun led [-] people from the West Sea and migrated for more than [-] miles across the desert to Mulei!" Guo Xiaoke said: "They must have exhausted the food accumulated by the clan along the way. It's not that he doesn't move now, but He can't move at all, he doesn't have the luggage to support him to launch an offensive, attacking the city, it's not like a field battle, where the victory will be decided in one day!"

Chen Ying suddenly realized: "Murong Fuyun has taken a fancy to the new fields we cultivated in Jinman County?"

Thinking of this, Chen Ying felt that Guo Xiaoke's guess was very possible.

After all, 75 mu of land can harvest at least more than 100 million shi of grain. The Tuyuhun people would not harvest these grains at all. the goal of.

Thinking of this, Chen Ying said with a smile: "It seems that we really can't play with the Tubo people any longer! Come here and inform all the troops to prepare. If possible tomorrow, we will return to the Western Regions!"

……

Chang'an, Chenjiabao in Qinglin.

Li Xiuning hugged her son and had a sweet dream.

A hot current surged into her body, and Li Xiuning felt something was wrong.

At this moment, Li Xiuning opened her eyes, and the bed was wet a lot.The son was soundly asleep.Her son pissed all over her.

A look of embarrassment appeared on Li Xiuning's face: "The little scourge, it's all your fault, for disturbing my mother's dream..."

The nurse hurried in and changed his son's clothes.Li Xiuning's son is already one month old, but Li Xiuning did not choose a name for him, she thinks that Chen Yinglai should choose this name.

Li Xiuning changed her clothes and sat down on the bed, never feeling sleepy again.

Li Xiuning rushed to the door and shouted: "Yue'er, go and find information about your husband!"

After a while, He Yue'er came to the bedroom with a stack of materials.

"This is all the information about Chen Lang in the Western Regions?"

Li Xiuning looked at the at least 30 to [-] words, sighed and said, "You must have seen these things before, so you should choose the important ones for me!"

"Of course" He Yue'er thought for a while and said, "After the son-in-law defeated the 20 army of the Western Turkic Commander Ye Hu Khan last year, he managed to reach Gaoche all the way without spending a single soldier. Surrender to the son-in-law at the end of the year, and at this time the son-in-law has completely occupied a large area east of Jinman County!"

Li Xiuning didn't have much impression of Jinmancheng, she looked at He Yueer and said, "Now on the map, mark Jinman County here!"

He Yue'er marked the location of Jinman County, and continued to explain: "According to the news from the Western Regions, the son-in-law has reclaimed 75 mu of grain fields in Jinman, which can almost meet the consumption!"

Li Xiuning naturally knew that a fully self-sufficient army would be a hidden danger to the court.

Thinking of this, Li Xiuning suddenly asked: "What actions has the court made recently?"

He Yueer shook her head and said, "Not yet!"

Just when he said there was nothing serious, Li Yuan gave the order to ring the bells and drums in the Hall of Wude.

Nine consecutive drum beats were a signal for the imperial court to gather officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital to enter the Tai Chi Hall for discussion.
