The Strongest Imperial Grandson of the Great Tang Dynasty

"You mean you don't know about our envoy from the Tang Dynasty?"

After listening to what the other party said, Su Dingfang frowned and said, and the other party came up and asked what they did.

"We are the border guards of Gaochang. We discovered you yesterday, but out of respect for the Tang Dynasty, we did not intercept you. But now that you are close to the border of our country, please stop temporarily. If it is like you As I said, the envoys of the two countries have already agreed, and our envoy should arrive soon, but before our envoy arrives, please do not continue to advance towards our border."

A general from Gaochang State said righteously, and his subordinates were also vigilant, as if the army of the Tang Dynasty were invaders. Of course, this is also normal. In the past two years, the army of the Tang Dynasty has But he was not idle, and almost combed through all the prickly hairs around him. However, the relationship between Gao Changguo and Datang was pretty good. He gave gifts when it was time to give them, and the ones he gave were not some shabby things, they were all very good. With valuables, Datang's caravans also passed through Gaochang State and headed to further places.

"I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to go back and discuss it with our envoy. During this period, we will temporarily stop, but we must maintain good communication."

Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, the supplies prepared by the team are almost gone, and they can only hold on for three to five days at most. If within these three to five days, the other party's greeting staff has not arrived, then we have a very good chance We may run out of food.

"General, please don't worry. I will leave a few soldiers waiting here, and both of us will stay where we are for the time being."

The general of Gaochang State quickly agreed. Su Dingfang also thought about this in his heart. The other party just wanted to stabilize us and prevent us from entering the territory of Gaochang State.

Su Dingfang also left a few people behind, then arrived in front of Mr. Zhao's carriage and reported the situation just now.

"It seems that what we guessed is true. They don't want us to go there for the time being. They just want to delay it for a while. We don't know the situation here. How long does it take to get from the border to their royal city?"

The other party's request is normal, and we can't fight it now. If we fight it now, it will be tantamount to provoking a war between the two countries, but we can't just wait here stupidly. We have to calculate the time for their return. Okay, if it's past this point, it's because they want to play to the end.

"When I came here, I asked some businessmen who passed by here. It can only take seven days at most. However, we have already made an agreement with their court. Their envoys should have departed from the capital long ago. The date we agreed on has already passed. It’s been a day.”

Su Dingfang counted the days. Even if their envoys wanted to delay, they would only be able to delay for a few days at most.

"Let's give them a face and ask them to report to the royal city of Gaochang Kingdom immediately. I have a reply from their Wang Cheng here. You can show it to their border general and give them seven days."

Mr. Zhao thought for a while and said, by doing this, we have done our best to be benevolent and righteous. However, Su Dingfang was a little dissatisfied. In these years, does anyone dare to let our Datang army wait? However, it was Mr. Zhao who made the decision here. Su Dingfang thought for a while and thought that there was no other way but to do this first.

The handover between the two parties was relatively smooth. The border guard of Gaochang State was General Mo Lun. After he saw Gaochang State's reply, he immediately sent someone to report to Wang Cheng and promised that there would be a reply within six days. But what did they do? Whether it was real or an act, Su Dingfang dared not draw a conclusion now. After returning to our military camp, Su Dingfang ordered his men to set up camp.

Setting up camp on such a Gobi Desert is actually a very dangerous thing. In addition to enemy sneak attacks, there are also wolves in the Gobi Desert. Of course, thousands of us are not afraid of wolves, but if the enemy makes a sneak attack If so, we really have no chance of defending.

Mr. Zhao told Su Dingfang his worries. Unexpectedly, Su Dingfang burst into laughter and took Mr. Zhao to look at our crossbows on the spot.

"Master Zhao, please see, we have brought out a total of thirty-two cannons this time and placed them around the military camp. If they really want to attack by surprise, I am sure that they will not even know their parents, let alone us." There are still a lot of flowering mines, and each soldier has several of them. Even if they rush around us, if we throw out hundreds of flowering mines, will anyone be able to rush up?"

Su Dingfang cheerfully introduced his troops. Mr. Zhao was also very impressed by it. Indeed, as Su Dingfang said, under such a defensive posture, if the opponent can still rush in, it will really be the same as the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Soldiers. It will be almost done.

"I admire General Su's ability, but to be on the safe side, we still get in touch with the troops wandering on the grassland, and send scouting horses around, as well as our merchants from the Tang Dynasty. If we encounter them coming from Gaochang, Invite them to come to the military camp and talk about the situation in Gaochang."

Although Mr. Zhao was a civil servant, the things he said were all to the point. Su Dingfang naturally had no reason to stop him and quickly ordered him to go down and ask someone to wait by the official road. If there were really businessmen coming, If so, you can learn more about the situation through them.

Of course, whether what these people say is true or false depends on our judgment. Although some people are businessmen in Datang, businessmen are chasing profits. If someone offers a high enough price, it will be enough. Let these people lie to the Tang army. The only people who can believe in the border area are their own eyes.

Some multinational businessmen are in one country today and in that country tomorrow. They only have money in their eyes and have very little sense of belonging to the country. This is also an aspect that Su Dingfang and Mr. Zhao reached a consensus on.

That night, one-third of the soldiers were on duty, and there were indeed wolf howls all around. However, our soldiers were all trained. During the battle in Xue Yantuo, they had also encountered wolves, but relying on With the serial crossbow in his hand, hundreds of large wolves could not take advantage, let alone the small wolves around him.

I didn't encounter any enemies in one night, but I shot and killed dozens of wild wolves, which was quite a harvest...
