On the border of Tibet, the lord of the country, Songtsen Gampo, stood on the mountain and looked far away, it has been three days, and the deputy minister said that he had successfully escorted the prime minister back to China, and he would be able to arrive in the near future, why was it delayed?

Another day passed, and at dusk that day, a chariot and horse gradually appeared in the distance, and the corners of Songtsen Gampo's mouth finally showed a smile, and after laughing, he quickly went up to the official road under the mountain with his personal guards.

"Where's the big picture? I'm coming. Ignoring the rugged mountain road beneath his feet, Songtsen Gampo rushed to the vicinity of the chariot and horse.

Everyone in the convoy hurriedly bowed and saluted, and at this moment the curtain was lifted on a spacious carriage in the middle of the car, and a weak voice came out.

"Your Majesty, Lu Dongzan pays a visit to Your Majesty, the minister is injured and can't pay the full salute, please forgive Your Majesty!"

Songtsen Gampo ignored the rest of the people and quickly rushed to the front, and was met by Lu Dongzan's thickly bandaged legs, as well as his deep-set eye sockets and tired look.

The tiger eyes of Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo, were moved with tears, and he stepped forward to grasp Lu Dongzan's hands, and said sadly: "Great Minister, for the sake of Tubo, you have suffered!" ”

"It doesn't matter, there is no reason to retreat from the tiger's den, it is not easy to pick up a life, but this trip is still worth it, just a pair of legs, it's nothing.

Besides, the other party didn't make a dead move, and he could go to the ground in two months. The gray-haired Lu Dongzan seemed to be talking and laughing unintentionally, but after getting along for many years, how could Songtsen Gampo not feel the hatred buried in the heart of this old man.

"Don't worry, your blood will not be shed in vain, sooner or later, I will personally lead the army, break through Chang'an, and avenge you with the enemy." Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth.

Lu Dongzan's heart was moved, following the young monarch before and after the saddle for nearly ten years, his hard work and wisdom and martial arts are admirable, but what can really make people willing to give their lives is that the two monarchs and ministers know each other, it can be said that Tubo has today's situation, and Lu Dongzan accounts for half of the credit.

After receiving Lu Dongzan, Songtsen Gampo was about to lead the team back to the capital, but was stopped by Lu Dongzan.

"Your Majesty, the situation is urgent, we can't go back to the capital for the time being, there is still a big matter to do over there in Datang."

"Oh? Daxiang finally escaped from Datang's death, everything is safety-oriented, and we will wait for a few years of development to worry about Datang, and there is no need to fight for a long time. Songtsen Gampo thought that Lu Dongzan was in a hurry to take revenge, and patiently persuaded him.

"No, it's not that your subordinates want to take revenge, it's really that Datang got a batch of heavy treasures from overseas today, it is said that it is a thousand catties of grain and grass per mu, if we get such things, then ......"

What the???

Thousands of catties of grain per mu?

Songtsen Gampo has been stunned, the yield per mu is 1,000 catties? Don't say you've seen it, you haven't heard of it, Tubo is located on the plateau, grain planting is difficult, and most of the people live on barley and animal husbandry, which also limits the national strength and population.

"According to Lao Chen's speculation, since it is an overseas immortal grain, it is not a local wheat, rice, beans, etc., it must be a new plant, maybe we can also plant and harvest it in Tibet, so we must get this treasure.

Therefore, the old minister has the courage to borrow troops from His Majesty, and borrow the 5,000 mountain protection battalions in His Majesty's hands, only with such elite soldiers, we can have hope of success. ”

Songtsen Gampo's eyes also bloomed with a feverish light, immortal food? Thousands of pounds per mu? This thing must belong to Tubo, otherwise it will be given to Datang, and in a few years, who will be the opponent of Datang in the surrounding countries?

"Okay, all the 5,000 Protector Battalions will be handed over to the Great Minister, and I will give you another 20,000 elite warriors of Tubo."

"No, Datang set out from Lingnan to get immortal grain overseas, and now the immortal grain is 20,000 left guards led by Datang Hou Junji, Bai Fan and others, and 3,000 Xuanjia troops escorted all the way, according to the old minister's calculations, they can be sent to Chang'an for breeding in another forty days, and then we will have no chance.

It may not be realistic for a large army to pursue and intercept from Tibet, and it is estimated that it will be stopped if it can't go. ”

Songtsen Gampo worried: "This, 5,000 people against 23,000? We don't have a chance to win! Although the Tubo Protector Battalion is an elite army that is not weaker than the Xuanjia Army that we have accumulated in the past ten years in the past ten years with the plateau countries, the gap in numbers is too obvious, and the enemy still has the Xuanjia Army, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to succeed. ”

Lu Dongzan laughed and said: "Yes, the national camp alone will definitely not succeed, so the old minister has not only prepared this team, I also have two other followers."

One is that I spent 20% of the money in Tubo and invited 2,000 outlaws from the Datang underworld, and the other is the person who defected to us a few months ago.

The protector camp is just an ambush and sneak attack, the underworld people attack, these two are successful, but if they don't succeed, they can lead away their escorts, and when the third force comes out, even if it can't win all, at least get a batch of seeds, it's not a problem. ”

Hearing that Lu Dongzan spent 20% of the wealth of Tubo, Songtsan Gampo was still a little distressed, he had been in business for many years and worked hard, only the parties concerned knew how difficult it was to save this family business.

As for the state camp, it took more than ten years for Tubo to unify the alpine region, originally Tubo was a tribal alliance of countries, passed to the hands of Songtsen Gampo is the thirty-third, he and Lu Dongzan two people worked together, and finally unified the country through hard wars, consolidated the regime, and at the same time in order to strengthen the rule of the slave system in Tibet, but also introduced Buddhism and religious culture from Tianzhu, and the Tibetan Buddhism in history entered the plateau at this time.

And after years of conquest, Tubo has trained a legendary army across the plateau, the original 100,000 elite soldiers, and finally the bloody battle to the time of reunification There are still 5,000 alive, and Songtsen Gampo gave the name of the mountain protector battalion, which is the first personal soldier under the emperor, but although this army is elite, it is only known within Tubo and has not been transmitted, after all, the information communication on the plateau is inconvenient.

At this time, it took more than 20 days, Bai Fan and Hou Junji and his party, carefully escorting grain and grass, just walked to Changsha City, there is still a long way to go, fortunately, there is no trouble on the road, after all, this is a large army, and ordinary bandits cannot afford to provoke the existence.

Such a smooth itinerary made many soldiers feel sluggish, and they thought that the general was exaggerating the risk, and the Left Guard Army was also a famous hard role in the Tang Dynasty, who would mess with it? And still in the country.

But Bai Fan didn't dare to slack off, he alternately deployed with Hou Junji day and night, and every time he went, he first summoned the people of the beggar gang to pass on the news, and the spies released a hundred miles, and he did not let go of any trouble.

"Brother Jian Zhixian, it's been more than 20 days, and finally after crossing the Yangtze River, we will reach the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, are we too careful?" Hou Junji asked puzzled.

Bai Fan shook his head and whispered: "Before I came, I asked my senior brother to calculate that the three calamities of immortal food can be returned to Tang, and if you can't avoid the three calamities, it will be empty, so ......"

This......

Hou Jun collected the letter and was convinced, when did Yuan Shenxian's hexagram go wrong? Although I don't know what the three calamities are, as the name suggests, I also know that there must be three calamities, and the last one has been clearly stated, and it must be in the hands of his left guard army.

Without further ado, Hou Junji went back again and rearranged the defenses.

Bai Fan sighed a little, Senior Brother Yuan never said that the hexagram was empty, but the hexagram needed to be solved well, and it was difficult to solve the time and place.
