Chapter 205: Attack

A group of more than 1,000 Tibetan cavalry, waving the five-party flag and wearing tiger and leopard clothes, ran aimlessly in the wilderness.

Although these cavalry are not many in number, they should not be underestimated, and they are the elite of the elite of the Tibetan army. Generally speaking, the army wearing tiger and leopard clothes is the ace army of Tibet, and only those who have made military achievements in Tibet can wear tiger and leopard skin uniforms.

At the head was a young officer, with a silver-gilt note on his sleeve, who was none other than Mangbuzhi, the son of the Great Tibetan Emperor Qinling.

According to the Tubo official system, the silver-gilded body is called "Po Luo Mi", second only to the first-level jade body, and the second-level gold body, which means that Mangbuzhi is already a high-ranking officer in Tubo, and its status is similar to that of the general of the Tang Dynasty's Sanpin Fuwei.

As the governor of the Eastern Dynasty, Mangbu Zhi commanded 10,000 elite Tibetan soldiers, but he could only bring 1,000 people out at a time, which was a death order given to him by Da Xuan.

Although Da Lun Qinling was the father of Mangbuzhi, he was also the commander of the Tubo army. Obeying orders in the army is the first place, and they will not be interceited at all because they are father and son, and even if Mang Buzhi is unhappy in his heart, he will not dare to disobey the commander's orders.

In the distance, a few small black dots galloped towards them, apparently the scouts from the Mangbu tribe had returned.

As expected, the little black dot is getting closer and closer, and it is close in an instant, and they can have such a fast speed because they are all riding Qinghai Cheng. Not only these scouts, but also the more than 1,000 people in Mangbuzhi are equipped with Qinghai skull.

Qinghai Chong is the pride of the Tuyuhun people, and after the Tubo conquered the Tuyuhun, Qinghai Chong became the pride of the Tubo people.

As early as in Liaodong, they lived with the nomadic peoples such as Wuhuan, Khitan, Jurchen and other nomads for a long time, absorbing and learning the experience and knowledge of cultivating and domesticating horses of various ethnic groups, and on the way to migrate, they lived in Hexi for a period of time. Hexi, as a place where horses have been domesticated since the Qin Dynasty, they also absorbed and learned the knowledge of horse breeding here.

Later, they went to the fertile grasslands around Qinghai Lake to raise horses, and when the eighteenth generation of Tuyuhun descended on Cualu, he simply built the city on the shore of Qinghai Lake and lived, and gave their city a nice name: Fu Qi City.

Tuyuhun has a vast area, vast grasslands, numerous rivers, abundant water and grass, and a quiet environment. The lake is surrounded by four towering mountains, and when you look around, it is like four high natural barriers, which tightly surround Qinghai Lake. It is a natural pasture and an excellent place to breed and domesticate horses.

The Tuyuhun people are born with excellent horse trainers, these horse trainers have mastered the horse breeding and domestication technology developed and summarized in the two regions of Liaodong and Hexi since ancient times, and the Qiang people in the Qinghai Lake area also have the horse domestication skills in line with the local climate and environment.

They bought Persian grass horses, and used this high-headed horse from abroad as the male parent, and the local Qiang people bred the native horse as the female parent to improve the horse breed. They named this improved horse Qinghai Cheng, which is said to be able to travel thousands of miles a day.

The position of cavalry in the Tibetan army is irreplaceable, and the cavalry has made great contributions to the expansion of the territory of the Tibetan army. The Tibetan physique is strong, good at riding and shooting, and is trained in daily production and life. Therefore, the Tubo cavalry is excellent and has superb horse skills, which is slightly better than the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao. In particular, after the Tubo people possessed Qinghai Cheng, they were always in the active position in the war with the Tang Dynasty.

The scouts did not dismount, and reported directly to Mangbu Zhi: "Report to Maben, ten miles ahead of the Tang Army's grain and grass convoy, about 500 people, 200 carts!" ”

"Maben" is the name of the Tibetan general who led the army, and after listening to the report of the scouts, the originally listless Mangbuzhi suddenly became excited like a chicken.

He said to the man in white who was riding a horse beside him, "Mr. Qiu, maybe the person you are looking for has appeared!" ”

After that, he waved his hand: "There is prey, warriors, follow me!" ”

The man in white did not speak, nor did he charge with Mangbuzhi like the Tibetan cavalry, but slowly retreated behind the cavalry at the original speed.

If Lu Xiaoxian saw this person, he would definitely exclaim, isn't this hatred water?

That's right, this person is the hatred water that walked with Lu Xiaoxian all the way before. His real identity is the master of the plain clothes hall under the command of the Tubo Great Commentary Qinling.

The name Suyitang was praised by Qinling's father, Lu Dongzan.

The Tibetan people advocate white, which is closely related to the concepts of nobility, purity, light, kindness, and sincerity.

White clouds, snow-capped peaks, sheep and the milk they rely on for survival all occupy an important place in the hearts of the Tibetan people, making them sincerely admire the beauty of white given by nature. In the minds of the Tibetan people, all the sacred mountains and holy waters, immortals and giant beasts related to "white" and "snow" are "gods" who are considerate of all the people and save the people from suffering.

White was sacred, and white was seen as a sign of the gods with strange divine powers. Because of this, Lu Dongzan gave his intelligence agency such a name.

In that year, Lu Dongzan sent people to secretly take the hated water family from Maozhou in the Tang Dynasty to Tibet. Hate Shui's father took over Suyitang, and after his father's death, Hate Water succeeded him as the head of Suyitang, and the father and son worked hard to make Suyitang play a magical role. Whether it is the battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, the battle of Qinghai, or the control of the Western Regions by Tubo, it is inseparable from the continuous information provided by Suyitang. Hate Shui and his Suyitang have also become a reliable force that Qin Ling trusts the most.

This time, Qin Ling ordered Su Yitang to cooperate with Mang Buzhi to seize Wu Zetian's handwritten letter, such an important matter, of course, Hate Shui had to go out in person. Of course, he has another layer of planning, he hopes to kill Lu Xiaoxian with the hand of Mang Buzhi, only in this way can the matter of overturning the case for his grandfather be truly settled, otherwise, he will always be subject to Lu Xiaoxian.

Since it was an attack, it was necessary to focus on speed, and if the Tang army found out that the car formation had been arranged, it would be difficult to deal with.

Mangbu did not care about hiding his whereabouts, and led the cavalry to gallop towards the target as fast as possible.

With the rumbling sound of horses' hooves from far and near, the grain and grass team of the Tang army also discovered the Tubo iron horse.

They hurriedly stopped their march and prepared to resist.
