Compared with the eagerness of the Tibetan people, the Tang people are much more relaxed in their mood, at least Liu Ji thinks so, he took the Xiangxiong people and took a completely different path.

The wild Qingqiang Plateau may be mysterious or even terrifying to others, but for him, it is like returning to his own home, from the border to Richeng, the capital of the Qiang District, he doesn't know how many times he has walked this road, cars, mules and horses, walking, what kind of terrain has not been encountered, what kind of climate has not been experienced.

Even if there is no water source like the Zang River, where to rest and where to take shelter from the wind are all engraved in the mind, and this is the basic quality of an intelligence officer, and now it has come into use.

More than 1,000 years have passed, the topography here is almost not much different from his memory, but due to the scarcity of people, it seems more primitive and natural, full of plateau and hilly areas, pale yellow gravel layer, and the red mountains in the distance reflect each other, forming the unique natural scenery of Qiangdi.

It is a pity that those later roads have not yet been born, and it is impossible to give him a clearer reference for his location, but fortunately, the mountains that stand on the plateau are still very obvious references, and he will not get lost.

After following him for a few days, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu both let out a heartfelt exclamation, a young Tang man, in the hinterland of the Tubo people, is no stranger, more familiar than those of them who have lived all their lives, where is the normal insight to say clearly.

No wonder his own lady relied on him so much, even the people of Zhangxiong who had worked hard to mobilize were relieved to hand over to him, and the latter also lived up to expectations, along the way, he destroyed several tribes of the Tubo people one after another, and seized cattle and sheep, food, utensils, and countless people, all of which were in the brigade of people and horses at this moment.

Every time he goes to a tribe, before killing people, he will let people first screen out which are the captive Han people, do such a thing, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu are familiar with the road, they can even find out those Han people who can no longer speak Chinese, one by one, as the team marches, their number is increasing, and the thousands of Han people who have been rescued have all joined the team and become a part of them.

In this way, the snowball-like march towards the center of the Qingqiang Plateau step by step, this area, even the little four they have never come, let alone know where the young Tang people are going to take them.

"If you don't make a mistake, this mountain range should be Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, and along him all the way to the east, you will see a big lake." Liu Ji looked at the undulating mountains in the distance and said.

"That's the sacred mountain of the Zhangxiong people." Xiao Wu sighed: "The big lake you are talking about, is it Namco?" ”

"Yes, that's it, the capital of the Tibetans, less than two days away, think about it, if we suddenly appear under the city, will they jump off the wall in fright?"

Liu Ji's relaxed words couldn't help but make the two of them stunned, they thought that the other party was just taking them to find trouble with the Tubo tribe, with their numbers, no tribe could resist it, but they didn't expect that the other party would fight with this idea, it was the capital of the Tubo people.

"Isn't Datang negotiating peace with them?"

Liu Ji glanced at them strangely: "Datang talks peace with them, what does it have to do with us?" ”

The two of them were speechless for a while, yes, they are not Tang people, there is no need to follow any constraints, but all this is too unbelievable, and it is clear for a while.

"Have you been to the city of Logos?"

Xiao Wu showed a helpless look: "The Tubo people will send the Han people who have plundered them to Luoqi City first, and after those dignitaries have finished choosing, they will be distributed to various tribes." ”

"I bought them in the city, but I was still young at the time, and I can't remember anything anymore."

Liu Ji understood that the Han people scattered in various tribes were only a part of it, and most of the people were concentrated in that city.

"So, there, that's our goal, if you're lucky, you can also let those Tibetan nobles taste it, hang it on the shelf, let people pick and choose, and be slaves and maids."

Liu Ji on a piece of cloth, with charcoal strips to draw a mark, this way he everywhere he went, will draw it like this, good memory is not as good as a bad pen, too long, how can there be no difference, all the way to correct, and so on to the destination, he will have an accurate topographic map, this is a hard-won treasure.

His words set off an uproar in the hearts of the two, the hatred with the passage of time, not only did not fade, but became thicker and thicker, both of them were sold alone, their families do not know, and their origins are unknown, but one thing is for sure, the Tubo people will never let go of their relatives.

"Hurry up and camp at the foot of the mountain today!"

With a clear goal, there was motivation, and the two stepped up to urge the brigade of men and horses, approaching the snow-capped mountain and the core ruling area of the Tubo people, step by step.

For Zhang Boji, who has a mission, time is also precious, because he doesn't know how long his father-in-law can support it, and Cheng Qianli, who is guarding the side, does not have much sense of urgency, but feeling his mood, it is naturally impossible to deliberately delay.

The matter originally had nothing to do with his Beiting, but it involved the power of the prime minister in Beijing, as soon as he thought of his encounter, he had to think about it, isn't it enough to suffer a loss before, a pure martial artist cannot have a good future, counting on everyone to be Bole, and he has to let people see his horse.

So, he not only took the initiative to ask for help, but also dispatched the main cavalry of the Beiting army, even if there was an accident, he couldn't escape if he couldn't beat it?

After his cavalry, less than a mile away, is the main force of the Anxi Tang Army led by Feng Changqing, to talk about speed, the Anxi Town Army with one person, two horses or even three horses, will not fall too much, plus a team of tens of thousands of people, it looks quite imposing, but for such a vast wasteland, it seems very lonely.

Where are the promised reinforcements? Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Gongtang City, Cheng Qianli's heart became more and more bottomless.

"Wang Da." He called out to Wang Weiliang's rank, and the latter quickly turned his horse's head and galloped to his side.

"Did the guide say how far away?"

"Anyway, at the current pace of the march, we will be there tomorrow at noon." Wang Weiliang immediately bowed and replied: "Zhongcheng is worried that the road ahead will change?" ”

"In enemy territory, the road ahead is unpredictable." Cheng Qianli's words made him understand.

"Why don't you take the lead of the last general and find out what is going on?"

"Then it's hard for you, be careful."

Cheng Qianli instructed, Wang Weiliang answered, and Zhang Boji on the side couldn't help but wonder when he saw it in his eyes.

"But what's wrong?"

"No, maybe it's just a little too much, Shaoqing doesn't have to pay attention to it, everything is clear."

His words made Zhang Boji shut his mouth, but his heart was raised, and it was difficult to calm down anymore.
