Chapter 278: The 'Yin' Conspiracy of the Tibetan People

The mountains in the country of the Five Senses are continuous, the roads are difficult and extremely difficult to walk, and the famous Green Ridge is in the country of the Five Senses, blocking Xiao Bolu and the Five Senses, and if you want to travel between the two countries, you must travel between the mountains and mountains.

The town of Gabu, located in the south of the Green Mountains, is the beginning of the southern part of the Gabu Gorge, along the canyon to the north to the Kara Lake and the Trans Alai Mountain Range, which is usually sparsely populated all year round, but this cold winter is boiling and lively.

A few days ago, he led 3,000 cavalry to drive more than 8,000 male and strong slaves from Qingyi to this place, waiting for the horse bandits in Ningyuan City to bring the princess to 'exchange'.

Every day in Gabu Town, the candle dragon Mangbu Zhi personally climbed the heights and waited for him, and the wind and snow could not stop his will.

"General, the terrain here is dangerous, do the horse bandits dare to come?"

On a mountainside in the canyon, dozens of knights stood in the wind and snow, led by the candle dragon Mangbu branch, and there was a striking young knight beside him, who was the one who expressed his worries to the candle dragon mangbu branch.

Candle Dragon Mangbu Zhi was confident and chuckled: "Dazaru Gong, you underestimate the courage of the horse bandits, they dare to rob our princess, and do not hesitate to offend us and the Turgish people, they must have something extraordinary, and those who are self-assured will definitely despise or even ignore the danger." I will make a bet with you, and the horse bandits will come. ”

"As the general said, Dazaru Gong was taught. When the horse bandits enter the palace, I am willing to sacrifice the heads of three enemies to the general's tent, for Zampu, for the great Tubo to wash away the shame! ”

The young Dazarugon is quite murderous, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Candle Dragon Mangbu Zhi nodded with satisfaction, Dazaru Gong was the successor he favored and deliberately cultivated, he was impressed by the extraordinary potential shown by this young warrior, and he was convinced that with a little allocation, this person would definitely surpass him in the future and become a generation of famous Tibetan generals.

"Well, Zampu is in danger, and I can't live up to Zampu's expectations. In any case, save the princess and bury those hateful horse bandits in this canyon. ”

There is a lot of pressure on the candle dragon mangbu branch. In order to let the 20,000 army cross the small Bolu to the five senses, in order to let the army get enough food, Zampuri overrode public opinion, and resolutely decided to go to the city of Xiao Bolu as a hostage, and asked Xiao Bolu to give his army and food to release, and at the same time asked Xiao Bolu for food to support the army traveling far away.

When the news of the princess's robbery came back to the city, it caused an uproar in the upper echelons of Tibet, and the angry nobles demanded that the princess be rescued by the Tuqi Shi people and the horse bandits were broken into thousands of pieces. Kozanpu flatly rejected the suggestion of uniting the Turks and insisted on his own dominance. The nobles couldn't figure out why their Zampu was like this, only the candle dragon Mangbu Zhi guessed what Zampu meant, Zampu didn't want to show weakness in front of the Turgish, and even the horse bandits couldn't deal with it, so why did he ally with the powerful Turgish?

Zampu quietly sent Mo Luosang to raise the Tang slave who redeemed the princess, and then made an earth-shattering adventure decision, which surprised everyone, no one expected that this talented Tubo monarch would set a trap for Li Huaitang in such a way, no one doubted that the 20,000 'elite' Tubo army could not deal with the group of horse bandits who did not know the height of the sky.

The war with the Lord as a hostage first befell the Tibetans, and this is no longer a war in the ordinary sense, from which we can get a glimpse of how much Zampu attached importance to the princess and how much he attached importance to the marriage with the Turgish. At the time of crisis, the candle dragon Mangbuzhi took up the burden of leading the expeditionary army, and he only had one way to victory, otherwise he would have no face to see Zampu again.

"General, there is a situation!" Dazarugon held his knife nervously, and looked along the winding canyon until it was cut off by a heavy mountain, and there was nothing abnormal in the area where he could see, and there seemed to be the sound of horses' hooves.

The figures of the two horsemen appeared from the bend of the slope in the distance, and galloped wildly in the direction of the town of Gabe.

"It's our scout!" Dazarugon's eyes were sharp, and he could see the person's identity from afar.

The news brought by the scout made the candle dragon Kampot frown. The horse bandits actually explored the way with a large number of scouts, and the caution of the enemy was not his blessing.

"Order, all armies are not allowed to act rashly, and no one is allowed to 'expose' without my order, and those who violate the order will be killed without mercy and the whole clan will be punished!"

The tone of the candle dragon mangbu branch revealed a heavy murderous intent in the plain place, and his firm demeanor made the generals under his command dare not doubt his words.

"General, are we going to drive this group of horse bandits?"

Some generals are eager to try, and defeating the scouts of the horse bandits will not only boost their morale, but also greatly increase their prestige. In this high-profile battlefield, any small victory is enough to magnify their personal victory, and this kind of opportunity is not easy to obtain in ordinary battles.

"No!" Dazarugon's performance once again satisfied the lord, "Our goal is to save the princess unscathed, and the second is to eliminate this group of horse bandits. ”

Candle Dragon Mangbu bowed slightly, motioning for him to continue.

"Since our army has arrived and the traps have been arranged, the fate of the horse bandits will perish is a matter of time, and there is no need to cause extraneous branches to arouse the vigilance of the other party, or even scare the other party away, so that we will lose more than we gain."

Candle Dragon Mangbu said with a smile: "That's right, for the general, you should act around the set goal, rather than sacrificing the basics. Since they are going to investigate, as they wish, let their rear army come with peace of mind, and there will be no return! ”

On the second day after the Tubo people Mo Luosang arrived in Ningyuan City, they set off, one person and three horses, and rushed to the five hidden places non-stop. They went all the way through Yellowstone, continued south over the Wai Alai Mountain, drank the Lake Makara, searched near the Lake Kara for a day, found nothing unusual, and after leaving the scouts who responded, under the guidance of the captured guide, the eagle rider continued south, over the mountains and mountains, into the Gabe Gorge.

In the northern part of the canyon, the flying eagle was depressed, and tore the map to pieces, scattered in the air, and fell one after another with the fluttering snow.

"What broken map? None of them are accurate, what is this place exactly? ”

According to the map handed to him by U'mong', the Gabu Gorge where the eagle cavalry is located at this moment should be a hilly area, but in fact it is a steep mountain, and the terrain is quite unfavorable to the cavalry.

Because the map provided wrong information, the eagle sent several teams of 100 people to search along the fork in the road, but the crow's team of 100 people seemed to have lost their trace, and there was no news from them for a day, and uneasiness and impatience hung over the eagle's heart.

It is only in the middle of the mountains that you can appreciate the complexity of the terrain, and it is not easy for even the white 'jade' claws flying high in the sky to find the deliberately hidden target.

"General of a thousand cavalry, there are traces of cavalry scouts ahead!"

According to the discovery of the white 'jade' claw, the scout who came out relied on the hunting dog, and finally found two pieces of horse manure on a hillside, the horse manure unique to war horses, and the daily food of ordinary horses and wild horses is very different from that of war horses, and experienced scouts can judge the identity of the owner of horse manure according to this. There is horse manure in this place where birds don't poop, which means that the Tibetans are not far away......

Although the wind and snow were not big, the thin layer of snow on the ground, and the cold wind raging in the air wiped out the footprints and smells left by the road, and even the hound "Hungry Wolf" could not find a way back.

In the mountains, the direction is difficult to discern, and the farther the crow walks from the main force of the eagle......

The Eagle's reels gathered most of the scattered eagle riders and continued their careful search south along the Gabe Valley, until they did not stop until they reached the vicinity of Gabe Town.

The Tibetan people seemed to be very honest, and made up their minds to exchange Tang Nu for the princess, and did not find anything abnormal along the way, and the places suitable for ambushes were all asked by the flying eagles to take the hounds to check one by one.

The performance of the Eagle Rider once again left a deep impression on the Candle Dragon Mangbuzhi, from his scout report to the appearance of the Eagle Rider in his sight, which actually made him wait for a full day and a night. Candle Dragon Mangbu Zhi had a bad premonition, the opponent was not as reckless as he imagined, maybe the plan would not go too well.

"General, I think it's time to implement the next step. The enemy's scouts have arrived, and their army must follow. ”

The eagle rider's profession has earned the respect of Dazarugon, and between the titles, he has quietly changed from a horse bandit to an enemy. The subtle changes aroused the idea of the candle dragon Mangbuzhi, and Dazaru Gong was his most proud disciple, and even this conceited young man was impressed by the enemy, and it was conceivable that the ensuing battle would surely exceed expectations.

"Dazarugon." Candle Dragon Mangbu Zhi did not hesitate, he was very confident in himself, no matter how difficult the opponent was, under his seamless plan, he would definitely be wiped out.

"Give you five hundred horsemen, within three days, make a detour to contact the five hidden Moni tribes, and once the enemy's main force enters the Gabe Valley, you will borrow troops to block their retreat. This part of the plan is what you come up with, and it will be up to you to execute it, hoping not to live up to Zamp's importance to you. ”

Zampu decided to use troops, the specific battle plan was drawn up by the candle dragon mangbu branch, knowing that there were not many generals in the battle plan, and Dazaru Gong was very honored, as the proud 'protégé' of the candle dragon mangbu branch, he was able to participate in the planning of the battle plan, he did not disappoint the teacher, and put forward two icing on the cake 'flower' suggestions one after another, one of which was to unite the five senses to hide people, block the enemy's retreat, and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. The second suggestion is even more 'insidious' and vicious, originally Zampu was going to use the Tang Nu who won the weak and young to exchange for the princess, but Dazaru Gong put forward the opposite opinion, all with the strong men to exchange for the princess, in his opinion, those strong men do not know each other, between them 'mix' into thousands of hundreds of Tuyuhun people without any military mark, it is not a difficult thing, at the critical moment, they take advantage of the 'chaos' to attack the unsuspecting enemy army from behind, can receive unexpected results.

These two suggestions from Dazarugon led him to be summoned by Zamp and appreciated by Zamp.

Dazarugon knew that this order was tantamount to an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it was also a heavy responsibility entrusted to him by his teacher. Tubo has been frustrated by the Tang Dynasty one after another, and he needs a victory to boost morale, this will be his chance, a chance to ascend to the sky in one step, and let him stand out among the Tubo generals who are full of fierce generals. Such an important task cannot be missed, and the people who carry it out are generally close and highly capable. Dazarugon was very excited and gladly took the order.

The wind and snow had no intention of stopping, and it rained melodiously for three days and three nights, causing trouble to the march of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry.

The cavalry had a lot of baggage, and although there were horses to walk, the speed of the march was not fast, and it took four days to cross the mountains of the Wai Alai Mountains and come to the shore of Lake Kara, where the cold north wind had already frozen this beautiful plateau lake.

When Li Huaitang led the cavalry army to Kara Lake, all he saw was snow, white and expansive, and the cattle and sheep who arrived with the army struggled to pout the snow with their hooves, looking for dry pasture. Dozens of eagle riders waiting here found Li Huaitang.

The scouts of the Eagle Rider told Li Huaitang about the situation, and the larger tribes in the vicinity were hundreds of miles away from the west, and as for the Tubo people, there was no trace of them.

Li Huaitang was a little puzzled: "How many people are there in those tribes in the west?" This is a land of abundant water and beautiful grass, why don't they think it is pasture? ”

"They are very scattered, and it is difficult to judge the number of them, but it is estimated that there are more than 10,000 people. According to the local people we caught, this is the slaughterhouse of the Tibetan people, and within a few years we met two groups of Tibetan people, and the tribes grazing here are almost extinct, so no one dares to come here to graze. ”

"Well, that's good." Li Huaitang couldn't see anything suspicious, "Then, does General Flying Eagle have any news back?" ”

"General Flying Eagle has sent someone back the latest news every day, and today hasn't arrived yet, and the news I got before is that everything is normal, but,"

"But what?"

"Well, General Eagle said that our map was wrong, and it was so different from the terrain in front of us that the Raven and his hundred horsemen lost contact for a while."

Li Huaitang was slightly surprised: "Lost contact? ”

Losing contact can mean being disoriented, or something bad has happened. Can a crow get 'lost' with a hound? Li Huaitang's heart began to sink, and his judgment was more inclined to encounter an ambush.

The disappearance of the crow left a 'shadow' in Li Huaitang's heart, different from the usual adventure and bravery, Li Huaitang carefully ordered thousands of troops to be stationed under a leeward hillside, waiting for news, and informing the light cavalry following him of the specific situation.

The leader of the 3,000 light cavalry is ready to support the capital at any time, his responsibility is heavy, not too close to the front army, not too far away, once the cavalry army encounters danger, they have to appear in time, the time scale must be just right. With Li Huaitang's order, he followed it, that is, if not, every decision he made was related to the safety of the overall situation, so the protector felt like walking on thin ice, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, and he was always waiting for him.

When he received Li Huaitang's order, the three thousand light cavalry had just arrived at Huangshi, and the guards looked at the shadows of the mountains in the distance in front of him, and ordered the cavalry to stop. Following Li Huaitang for such a long time, Hu Du also knew the importance of predicting the enemy's situation, whether it was marching or garrisoning, a large number of rangers were sent in all directions to minimize the possibility of being attacked.

Unexpectedly, the rangers soon found out and brought him a surprising news: there were hundreds of unidentified cavalry in the Gelu Pass to the east.

After all, the Ranger did not have the scout expertise of the Eagle Rider, and the news brought was not detailed enough, and he accidentally 'revealed' his traces, allowing the other party's fast rider to follow him.
