Luo Siye chewed a piece of yak jerky in his mouth, and the yak jerky naturally dried by the herdsmen on the plateau had a slight fishy smell, which was particularly hard, and he had to chew it hard.

Leaning against the fire.

It's still quite comfortable, if it weren't for the chasing soldiers behind, it would be really good.

Guo Xiaoke, the deputy director, handed over a map, and several circles had been drawn with charcoal on the sheepskin map.

"I figured it out, this group of people who suddenly appeared is not a Turkic, nor Murong Ke or Murong Anyuan, but his mother's Tubo and Xiqiang army."

Heiye broke through Wuhai City, and the King of Tianzhu was defeated and fled. The victorious heir also took the captive and captured cattle and sheep and prepared to return to Qinghai Lake.

But who would have thought that the soldiers and horses of the Western Turks and Murong Ke were indeed far away, but they could kill a cavalry from the south.

At first, Heiye didn't figure out who the other party was, so he took a battle in a daze, but it turned out that this cavalry was actually very strong, and Heiye didn't take much advantage. Of course, the deputy governor Guo Xiaoke and others believed that it was because the main force of their Qin army did not come, and this battle was mainly fought by Murong Shun's Tuyuhun soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was not good, so they failed to win.

But in any case, it did make Heiye alarmed.

After the cavalry did not win the battle, it did not retreat immediately, but began to hang far away.

Si Ye sent more than ten light cavalry to investigate, and finally figured out the situation, it turned out that the other party was the Tubo and Xiqiang coalition army, but this Tubo army was not the 10,000 people on the Dafeichuan side, and the 10,000 people were still over there. And this one is a new one.

"About 30,000 people, including 10,000 Tibetan cavalry and about 20,000 Xiqiang soldiers. Of the 20,000 Xiqiang soldiers, 10,000 were from the Duomi Department and 10,000 were from the Bailan Division. ”

Duomi is a Western Qiang country north of the Yak River, and the Tibetans call them the southern country, and after Subi was annexed by the Tibetans, Duomi was pressured to submit to the Tibetans with the Qiang Bailanqiang under the Purple Mountain at the source of the Yellow River.

This time, the two countries were ordered to send troops by Nanri Ronzan, and each sent 10,000 troops to follow the Tibetan army. They did not take the previous road of 10,000 Tibetans, but crossed the Yak River, crossed the Purple Mountain, and then stepped across the source of the Yellow River, directly to the vicinity of Wuhai.

This route is out of the north of Jishi Mountain, bypassing the Jishi Mountain Range from the west.

However, this coalition army was still a step late, and could not arrive in time to reinforce the Heavenly Pillar King. By the time they arrived, Heiye had already retreated from Wuhai City with his captives and booty.

So they followed and pursued, but they did not take advantage of the first battle, and for a time these Tibetan generals did not dare to be careless.

Although the Tibetans had not yet launched another attack, he knew very well that these people were just looking for an opportunity.

They can attack at any time.

"We're marching too slowly." Inheritance Road.

Guo Xiaoke sighed and stretched the fire into the fire to roast.

"Damn, you said this place is in May, why is it still snowing? Also, I feel tired and panicked without wearing armor, and when I fight, I am even more tired and prostration. ”

"It is said that because this is a plateau and close to the sky, I have heard His Majesty say that the sea is the lowest place in the world, and on the side of Qinghai Lake, the ground is seven or eight hundred zhang higher than the sea level, and now these places we are in are even higher than the sea level, and these peaks around us are even higher than fourteen or five hundred zhang. In such a high place, close to the sky, the air is thin and so on, people are easy to get tired, and people who are not used to it are also prone to bad symptoms, etc., but as long as you get used to it for a long time, it's fine. ”

Guo Xiaoke seemed to understand, "It turns out that we are on a huge mountain."

"I guess the Tibetans are going to attack us.

"When?"

Guo Xiaoke asked.

Si Ye looked at the map, "Don't forget, there are still 10,000 Tubo troops in the south of Dafei Sichuan, and there are also defeated troops of the Tianzhu King near here, and they may unite to attack us at any time." ”

"But in this hellish weather, it's really hard to speed up the march."

Si Ye frowned, "Then throw down those captives, livestock, etc." ”

Guo Xiaoke was very reluctant, it was tens of thousands of prisoners and hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, not to mention, there were many salt, cloth, gold and silver and other things robbed by Wuhai City.

"Marshal, most of those livestock booty have already been distributed to the soldiers, but I am afraid that they may not be willing to abandon it."

Everyone has worked so hard to fight, and the captured loot that has been obtained with great difficulty can be said to be thrown away.

"I don't think the Tubo people will dare to attack us, they are only 30,000, but we are more than 40,000, and they didn't take advantage of them when they raided us before."

"It won't be far before we can reach Dafeiling, so we won't be afraid of it then."

Heiye found Murong Shun and asked him to abandon the prisoners and booty, but Murong Shun was also unwilling to abandon it.

"The soldiers are only afraid that they will not." Murong Shun said that he, the prince who had just returned to the country, relied on mutiny to kill his father and seize the throne, all with the support of some aristocratic generals.

Now they are going to throw away half of what they have in their possession, and they want to.

"Great King, the Tubo people are nothing more than that, let's go to Dafeiling immediately, there are tens of thousands of Qin troops there, and they are not afraid of the Tubo people."

Murong Shun refused to agree, although Siye was said to be the marshal of Great Qin, but at this time there were more than 40,000 people in the army, and the Qin army under Siye was no more than 10,000, and it was impossible for him to leave the Tuyuhun army and retreat alone.

In addition, Guo Xiaoke, the deputy director, was reluctant to abandon the seizure, so he had to temporarily shelve this proposal.

"Send more scouts, strengthen vigilance, and let the whole army speed up."

It's just that you have to march with tens of thousands of prisoners, hundreds of thousands of livestock, and a lot of booty, and you have to brave the wind and snow, and you have to constantly watch out for the nearby Tubo, where is the speed of the march.

Fortunately, for several days, the Tibetans only followed from afar and did not attack.

On this day, they finally walked out of the hot spring valley, and in front of them was the Dafei River.

"Damn, I've finally arrived at Dafeichuan, I'm not afraid now, fortunately we didn't throw these away, or we would have lost a lot." Guo Xiaoke looked at Da Feiling in front of him, and then looked at the long line behind him, and couldn't help laughing.

Siye's brows were still furrowed, he thought that the Tubo army would definitely attack before they arrived at Dafeiling, but he didn't expect to get here all the way, and he didn't see a move.

This is so counterintuitive.

On the Dafei Ridge, Cheng Mingzhen also saw the return of the Qin army under the mountain, so the mountain gate opened, and a light horse rushed down the mountain to greet him.

When Siye saw Cheng Mingzhen, he immediately asked, "Is there anything unusual near Dafeiling?" ”

"Everything else is fine, but the scouts sent to the north a few days ago have never returned."
