Chapter 219: The Race
In the village outside Chang'an, Di Renjie received the first batch of children surnamed Gu, a total of eight families came to just a few people, Wu Mei also knew that it was not easy to set up a clan, so Di Renjie asked Di Renjie to settle people down, live in the village, and arrange for these families to live in the fields in some fiefdoms for them to cultivate.
Wang Yuan coaxed the child to fall asleep, and walked to Wu Mei's side with a letter, "My father has sent a letter." ”
Wu Mei took the letter, Wang Yuan is the daughter of the head of the Wang family, and there have been letters since the father and daughter met last time, thinking that they can't read their family letters, since Wang Yuan handed it over to him, there must be something to let the Gu family know.
Open the letter and look at it carefully, it is the Lu family's actions again, and now the Lu family is lobbying the Cui family, the Wang family, and the Li family of Zhao County to join forces to deal with the academy, Wei Zheng and Li Junxian seem to be entangled in something, and the Lu family has already freed up their hands.
"Di Renjie." Wu Mei called Di Renjie and asked, "How many students are there in the study house now?" ”
"Three hundred out of a thousand." Di Renjie replied, "Now the study house can still teach in an orderly manner, and the teaching gentleman sent by His Royal Highness the King of Wei is very useful." ”
Wu Mei handed the letter to Di Renjie, "You go to Fang's house, hand over the contents of the letter to Fang Xiang, and then go to King Wei's mansion to tell King Wei that the Lu family has moved, Wei Zheng and Li Junxian are in trouble, and King Wei knows what to do." ”
"The student understood." Di Renjie received the letter and hurriedly went out.
Wei Zheng and Li Junxian must be allowed to suppress the Lu family's hands and feet.
Zhang Yugong has been guarding near the Taoist temple, surrounded by the eyeliner and killers of the Green Gang, guarding against all kinds of wind and grass.
Tubo, it was already night when the bright moon hung in the sky, Gu Qing and a team of soldiers were burying mines the size of watermelons, Su Dingfang said to Yang Sheng, "They must follow our horseshoe prints to catch up." ”
After planting the mines, Cheng Chumo turned over and got on his horse, "Go!" Let's go to the Tibetan court first,"
"Drive!" The crowd rode up again.
Three hours later, Lu Dongzan arrived here, looking at the intricate horseshoe prints in front of him, urging the horses under him to speed up, and the horses' hooves stepped on something through the messy dirt.
Bang!
There was an explosion, and the whole horse's abdomen was blown up and the flesh was blurred, and Lu Dongzan, who fell from the horse, shouted to the army behind him, "Don't come here!" There's something underground! ”
The army in the rear came to a halt, but many horses and men stepped on the mines.
On the other side, an army of 30,000 people marched, and after a day and a night, the army rested by a large lake, and if people did not rest, horses should rest, Gu Qing looked at the calm lake like a mirror and said, "Send a few scouts to see how far Lu Dongzan is from us." ”
In Tibet, the 30,000 army and Lu Dongzan's army are racing all the way, and at the moment Lu Dongzan's marching speed is very slow, and he has to guard against mines, and dozens of them are blown up from time to time, which is a headache.
Cheng Chumo washed his face vigorously with the lake water, "The lake water here is very cool. ”
"This is a tributary of the snow-capped mountains, this big lake connects the big snow-capped mountains, and at the end of the lake is the Brahmaputra River in Tibet, which is the longest river in Tibet." Gu Qing looked at the flow of the lake and said, "After this desolate Gobi, it is the real plateau. ”
"You've been here," Su Dingfang asked, eating dry food.
"Been here a long time ago." Gu Qing replied, took the dry food handed by the soldier and ate it, "We can walk slower on the next road, and let our people get used to the climate of the plateau before going in." ”
"Hmm!" Su Dingfang nodded pertinently.
Fang Zhizhi relaxed his legs, which were already numb after a night of riding.
"Tibet is really desolate." Fang Yiai relaxes her body.
"This area is really desolate, from the Hexi Corridor to the Gobi Stone Forest, there are no people in this generation, out of here is the grassland, there are a lot of people there." Gu Qing spoke.
Some soldiers jumped into the lake to catch fish when they saw them, and they could take a bath by the way.
"There are so many fish here!" Yang Sheng was also surprised, the fish were all very large.
"In fact, many Tibetan people do not eat fish, and for them eating fish is a kind of sacred disrespect." Gu Qing said thoughtfully.
"I'm not from Tibet!" Yang Sheng said and jumped into the river to catch fish.
The army started the whole fish feast, Gu Qing made a pot of fish soup, ate a mouthful of fish soup and a mouthful of dry food, and then went up the water and couldn't boil, it was a meal if you could eat it.
After resting for a day and a night, the army marched again.
A day later, Lu Dongzan also arrived at the lake, looked at the fish bones on the ground and trembled, and knelt on the ground with a puff, "Gu Qing, I'm going to kill you!" ”
The Tibetans saluted reverently to the bones of a fish.
When the army came to the grassland of Tubo, the air here was a little cold, Gu Qing looked at the grassland that was still a little dry and yellow, and said to the soldier herald, "Go and see if anyone in the team is uncomfortable." ”
"Yes!" The herald nodded immediately and left.
No one in the team felt uncomfortable, so they continued to move forward, and they could already see a lot of Tibetan residents from a distance, and in the face of strange Tang Dynasty soldiers, the Tubo people were vigilant.
An arrow was fired, Yang Sheng dodged the sharp arrow sideways, and immediately pulled out the knife in his hand and pointed it at a group of Tibetan residents.
The army also waited for this group of Tibetan residents, and in the face of the provocation of this group of Tibetan residents, Cheng Chumo was very angry, and Su Dingfang said, "Collect the iron weapons of these people, enclose them, and don't kill indiscriminately!" Otherwise, it will make our Datang soldiers infamy. ”
Listening to Su Dingfang's words, Cheng Chumo also put away the knife in his hand, killing these ordinary Tubo residents who have little ability will indeed make the Tang soldiers infamous on their backs, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are arrogant, we are soldiers, not robbers or hooligans.
After enclosing the Tibetan inhabitants to watch over the army and resting for the night, the talented man marched towards the Tibetan royal court.
"This Tibetan wine is so bad that it can't even compare to horse urine!" Cheng Chu said silently, "I really want to finish this battle early and go back early." ”
Su Dingfang nodded......
Hexi Corridor, Wei Chigong looked at the enough explosives and smiled with satisfaction, Lu Dongzan's army had already gone to chase Gu Qing's army, and the news that had come from the DPRK and China grabbed Songtsen Gampo and brought it to Chang'an to apologize.
Wei Chigong packed up his army and prepared to march towards Tubo, "Brothers, let's go and meet those young generals and kill Tubo without leaving a single piece of armor." ”
"No piece of armor left!" Shouts from the army.
The debate machine has been in a very bad mood these days, and he is absent-minded even when he recites the scriptures, Tang Xuanzang whispered: "If you can't stand it, go back to Chang'an first." ”
"I'm willing to stay." The debater spoke.
Tang Xuanzang shook his head helplessly and sighed, the Buddha's heart of the debate machine was already in chaos, from the first time he saw the debate machine in Chang'an, the debate machine was no longer the same.
Ignoring the debate, the disappointed Tang Xuanzang kept up with the army.
