Chapter 230: Caught a Princess
Just as the Tibetan convoy continued to hurry.
The horse team in the rear approached.
Woohoo.
Sharp arrows suddenly flew from behind.
The unsuspecting Tibetan soldiers fell like wheat.
After a few volleys, only a few people remained.
But the knights had already rushed over, raising their long knives and falling in their hands.
More than a dozen people, all of whom fell to the ground.
The knights lit torches and finally found Changsun Chong in the carriage.
Changsun Chong was originally lying on the carriage with his head in his hands and shivering, but when he heard that there was no movement around, he slowly raised his head, and when he saw Xue Rengui and others, he immediately cried: "Wow...... Xue Rengui, quick, help, save me......"
Along the way, he hated Xue Rengui very much, but now, he felt that the other party was as close as his father.
Xue Rengui stepped forward and said, "Eldest grandson, we have blown up the salt well of the Tubo people, but I am afraid that there will be chasing soldiers soon, and we must go." ”
"Yes, yes, let's go, I want to go back to Chang'an." Eldest Sun Chong wiped away his tears with a crying voice, and then he pointed to the bottom of the carriage, "There is another ...... here She is the princess of Tibet. ”
Erniu led people to arrest the female man who was hiding under the carriage.
Xue Rengui looked at this five big and three rough, extremely rough female man, and asked curiously: "Eldest grandson, how do you know that she is the princess of Tubo?" ”
The eldest grandson Chong said: "I ...... I knew a few words of Tibetan dialect, and I heard other people call her a princess, and she thought I didn't understand anything, hum......"
He got up, leaned in front of the female man, and slapped the female man, "I'm going to kill you, hum!" ”
As he spoke, Xue Rengui picked up a scimitar and prepared to kill the female man to avenge his hatred.
Xue Rengui grabbed the eldest grandson Chong and persuaded him: "Eldest grandson, don't be impulsive, we are still in Tibet, back to the Tang Dynasty, the road is far away, maybe there will be some changes, bring her, maybe it will be useful......"
The eldest grandson nodded: "It's okay, when I get to the territory of Datang, I will kill her with my own hands, and I will ......take revenge."
Xue Rengui nodded and said, "Without further ado, let's hurry up in the direction of Shanzhou." ”
Erniu came over and said: "Da Lang, why don't we take a detour to the north, there are now 200,000 troops from Tibet on the border of Shanzhou, let's go to Shanzhou, aren't we throwing ourselves into the net?" ”
Xue Rengui thought for a while and said: "If the boss's prediction is good, the Tubo army will withdraw soon, and there will definitely be a mess at that time, and we just have the opportunity to withdraw...... Erniu, you take a few brothers, go north first, make signs that we have escaped from the north, and then turn back to join us. ”
"Yes."
Erniu took a few people, took the guys, and hurried north.
The Tubo princess was tied hand and foot and stuffed into the carriage, and the eldest grandson Chong was also stuffed into the carriage.
The eldest grandson protested: "Why let me ride in the same carriage with her, I am enemies with her." ”
Xue Rengui said: "Now there is only this one intact carriage, if the eldest grandson feels that it is inappropriate, he can ride a horse." ”
"No, no, I'll take a carriage." Changsun Chong hurriedly shook his head and obediently got into the carriage.
Long-distance horseback riding, not to mention fatigue, the most important thing is that the ass can't stand it.
The convoy quickly left the battlefield and hurried east.
……
……
Shanzhou.
Outside Shanzhou.
The 200,000 Tibetan army was stationed here.
In the distance, the shouts of killing shook the sky.
In a big tent, a young man in a big jacket with a gloomy face stared at the map in front of him without saying a word.
He was the Songtsen Gampo who suddenly came out of nowhere a few years ago and unified the Tibetan tribes.
He said angrily: "Waste, it's all a group of waste, originally, I wanted to take Shanzhou City in two days, and then attack Lanzhou, it's been five days, and even Shanzhou hasn't been laid yet, this Duan Zhixuan, is it really so powerful?" ”
A strategist next to him said: "Zampu, Duan Zhixuan is actually not a famous general, the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty include Li Jing, Li Daozong, Li Ji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, etc., Duan Zhixuan is not famous." ”
The original words of this strategist are very standard, and they are also dressed as a Tang Dynasty. Because, he was originally from the Tang Dynasty and became a traitor to Tibet.
Songtsen Gampo said unhappily: "According to what you say, a small Duan Zhixuan has blocked my Tubo army for five days, if Li Jing and others come, we can only withdraw our troops?" ”
The counsellor was silent.
Songtsen Gampo thought for a while and said: "The army of the Tang Dynasty is all in the area of Ganzhou and Liangzhou, if we can't defeat Shanzhou in a few days, then we will have no chance of winning...... We suddenly attacked Shanzhou this time, in order to be able to eat the land of Datang west of Shanzhou and Lanzhou, when the time comes, if Datang is weak, these lands are my Tubo, if Datang wants to fight, we can let Datang use money and grain to redeem the land......"
It turned out that although Songtsen Gampo was bold, he was not arrogant enough to kill Datang in one bite.
His purpose was very simple, to knock down the land west of Shanzhou and Lanzhou, and then negotiate terms with Li Er.
The capture of Shanzhou and Lanzhou is the most crucial.
Unexpectedly, the attack on Shanzhou encountered Duan Zhixuan's fierce counterattack.
Just when he was at a loss, a soldier rushed in and said loudly: "Zampu, the big thing is not good, we are in the salt well outside the city, we were destroyed by the gods, and now there is nothing left, there is no salt to eat, and the salt in the army is only enough to eat for three days......"
"What?" Songtsen Gampo stood up suddenly, and said incredulously, "Why is this happening, we have always worshiped the gods of heaven and have to worship every month, why do the gods want to destroy the salt wells, if it is in peacetime, forget it, now the army is fighting, suddenly there is no salt, the soldiers have no salt to eat, they will not have strength, how is this good?" ”
The strategist stood aside and said: "Zampu, collect the troops, once the army runs out of salt, within ten days, it will be weak, and when the time comes, it will be the Tang army from Ganzhou and Liangzhou, I am afraid that it will ...... I'm afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Songtsen Gampo was silent.
He didn't speak.
I saw a soldier rushing in again and shouted: "Zampu, it's not good, there is news from the city that the princess has been captured by the spies of the Tang Dynasty......"
What the?
Songtsen Gampo and the people present all looked at each other.
The capital of Tibet was actually mixed with the spies of the Tang Dynasty?
The strategist stood up and said: "Zampu, there is a sentence that his subordinates must say now, first the salt well was destroyed, and then the princess was captured by the Tang people, just say that the princess was arrested, how could the Tang people's spies easily capture the princess, it must be someone in Luo Some City who has bad intentions and betrayed the princess...... Today's Luosome cities, I'm afraid that they are already unstable, and their subordinates persuade Zampu to immediately collect troops and return to Luosome cities to sit in town, Shanzhou doesn't fight now, and there will be opportunities in the future, but once Luosome cities are lost, we will lose the foundation......"
Songtsen Gampo remained silent.
