Li Su felt that he was very cowardly, and the 5,000 army each carried dozens of pounds of bags, climbing step by step, only he, the prince, was tied to the horse by Cheng Zhijie, covered with a thick quilt, and walked slowly with everyone.

The more you walk, the thicker the snow becomes, and you can't see your whole leg when you step on it; And the cold wind is howling, even wearing thick cotton clothes makes everyone feel cold and biting.

Such a march was very physically demanding, and after walking for a short time, the Tang army was already panting, and some could not take a step. The white qi they exhaled turned into ice ridges as soon as they came out, and then on the sticky beard and eyebrows, the Tang Army turned into a white monster from a distance.

"I can't walk anymore, let's rest for a while!" The Tang army was finally on the verge of collapse, and they complained one by one. Some people couldn't hold on anymore and fell headlong into the snow and never got up again.

Cheng Zhijie shouted loudly: "Don't rest, everyone go forward!" Hold on, we'll be over it in no time! Tang Jun heard his shout, cheered up a little, and then walked for a long time, and some people couldn't hold on and fell into the snowdrift.

"Get up, brother! Get up! A Tang soldier hugged his brother's stiff corpse and cried bitterly. Cheng Zhijie stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Cheer up, this time let's fight Tubo and avenge your brother." ”

"Hmmm! King of the county, let my brother rest here for a long time! I'm going to avenge him. ”

Cheng Zhi nodded and then everyone covered the dead bodies with snow, and the army began to walk along the snowy mountains. They walked for several days and finally got out of the snow-capped mountain, but hundreds of people were sleeping in the snow and did not come down.

After passing the meadows and snow-capped mountains, they entered the territory of Tibet, but the terrain here is very complicated, coupled with the continuous rain, so that everyone's hearts are like a big stone, and they are dejected and marching on the mountain path.

Cheng Zhijie rode on the rainbow horse, looked at the muddy water flowing on the mountain road, and then looked at the stones rolling down from time to time on the mountain and said, "Order the troops, speed up." Pass through this mountainous area as fast as you can. ”

The Tang army got the order and rushed forward, not long after they passed, suddenly there was a roar from the top of the mountain, everyone turned their heads to look, and found a turbid torrent of rocks and mud rushing down from above.

Cheng Zhijie's face changed dramatically and shouted: "Hurry up!" Come on! Rush over! Tang Jun opened his legs one by one at the moment of life and death, turned his head and ran.

"The prince is behind! Li Su is still behind! Someone shouted hysterically.

It turned out that Li Su dragged everyone's hind legs when he climbed the snow mountain, and he was deeply humiliated, and this time he refused to ride a horse and must go on his own trip to show everyone. As a result, although he gritted his teeth and insisted, he still fell last.

Cheng Zhijie was just about to go back, when he saw a white shadow flashing, but it was Xue Li and Xue Rengui who were afraid that Li Su would have an accident and followed behind. When he saw that there was danger, he suddenly urged the war horse, rushed over, grabbed Li Su and ran.

The speed of the mudslide was very fast, and they had not completely rushed out, and the muddy mudflow had already slapped Xue Rengui and his horse below.

"Whew!" Li Yu rose into the air and fell heavily to the ground, but Xue Rengui rolled down with the torrent.

"Master!" "General!" Li Su and Tang Jun called loudly, Cheng Zhijie and others also urged the horses to the side of the road, only to see the rolling torrent pouring down, where can you still see Xue Rengui's shadow.

Just when everyone thought that Xue Rengui was going to die, there was a sudden loud bang below, and a thing covered in mud rushed out of the torrent, and then fell heavily into the valley.

"Hurry down and rescue!" Cheng Zhijie gave an order, and someone tied a rope down to the valley, and then shouted on the mountain road: "It's General Xue, he is seriously injured, hurry up and drag him up!" ”

When they heard this, they were overjoyed, and then they cried out and tied the rope; The people below tied the rope to Xue Rengui's body, and someone slowly pulled him up.

The medical soldier hurriedly ran out, and after a period of diagnosis and treatment, he said to Cheng Zhijie: "King Jun, General Xue only suffered a skin injury, and there is nothing serious. Take a break and you'll be fine. ”

"Good! Banzai! Banzai! The Tang army cheered, and Cheng Zhijie was completely relieved: "Okay! This place is not a place to stay for a long time, you take care of General Xue, let's leave quickly! ”

"Yes!" The medic agreed, tied Xue Li to his horse, and then the Tang army's army passed through the mountainous area quickly.

Walking further on, there were more and more people, and Tang Jun found that there was a lot of traffic here, and he was transporting salt to the outside one after another. There are two types of salt, pure white for the nobles, and red for the common people.

Stationed here is Shi Wangqian, who surrendered, that is, the younger brother of Shi Wangyao, the king of Shi Lang. After Shi Wangqian surrendered to Tibet, he was thinking about going back to take revenge every moment.

During the period of garrison in Yanjing, he did not relax his training troops, and now he has 30,000 or 40,000 troops and 10,000 troops under his command.

Hearing that the Tang Dynasty had started a war with Tubo on the border of West Tuguhun, Shi Wangqian thought of bringing people to help in the war. He had already asked Zampu to abandon the sect and get his life, but he had not been allowed to do so; I had to continue to garrison here with a large army.

Shi Wangqian was depressed and was alone in the house and drinking. He felt that everything here was not satisfactory, even the wine was not as luscious as Shi Langzhao's, revealing a bitter taste of salt.

Shi Wangqian sighed heavily and slammed the wine glass on the ground, just about to get up and go back to sleep; Suddenly, I heard a commotion outside, as if there was a shout of killing.

How can there be a shout of killing? The bandits here have all been killed by themselves, who will be looking for death at night?

As soon as he thought of this, the guard ran in in a panic and said, "King Zhao, it's not a good thing!" Suddenly, a mysterious army broke into the salt well. They kill people when they see them, and we can't resist them anymore. ”

"What? How can there be enemies? Do you see their banners clearly? ”

"The sky is very dark, and the brothers can't really see it, but it looks like the dragon flag of the Tang Dynasty in a hazy way."

"What? Dragon Banner! Shi Wangqian's eyes were immediately bloodshot, and most of his wine was sober. He didn't care why Datang's soldiers and horses appeared here. However, he was about to find a decisive battle with Datang, and he couldn't let them go this time.

Thinking of this, Shi Wangqian picked up the scimitar on the table and shouted at the guards: "Gather all the troops!" And tell the salt workers and slaves to come with me. When the enemy attack is repulsed, I will give them back! ”

The guards promised to go down and gather people, and Shi Wangqian led the team to rush to the place where the battle was taking place.

Nanzhao's soldiers and horses kept gathering, and by the time he reached the city gate, he had gathered thousands of people, followed by many slaves with iron hammers, pickaxes and hoes.

It was Cheng Zhijie's team that rushed in on the opposite side, and Lao Cheng personally took his 4,000 elites to Yanjing City. The low walls did not hinder them, and some arhats entered the city, opened the gates, and let them all in.

As soon as these 4,000 tigers entered the salt well, they set off a bloody storm, killing countless remnants of Nanzhao. Just as they were advancing rapidly, they ran into Shi Wangqian's team coming to intercept them.

Shi Wangqian's entire family died at the hands of Tang Jun. Now his eyes were red, and when he saw that it was indeed Tang Jun, he rushed up with a loud shout.

Cheng Zhijie saw that this guy was an enemy general, and greeted him with joy. His big axe came first, and Shi Wangqian had no choice but to raise his knife to parry.

"Dang!" The knife shattered, "Click!" After another axe, the human head flew into the sky.

The little morale that Nanzhao's army had just raised disappeared without a trace in an instant. The slaves even retreated, not daring to take half a step forward.

Cheng Zhijie laughed and took a few steps forward, and then kicked Shi Wangqian's head in front of the Nanzhao army. The soldiers were so frightened that they retreated, pushing and shoving, and many of them fell.

"Lay down your arms! I will spare you from dying, and send you back to Nanzhao's hometown! And those slaves, what are you doing with it? Hurry back for me, and when I take the salt well, you will be the master here." ”

The slaves were skeptical, but it was better to be free without having to fight than to die here for nothing, and they fled with a bang.

None of these soldiers of Nanzhao missed their hometown, and besides, the leader was finished, and these Tang troops were so majestic that they could not be defeated at all, so when they heard him say this, they quickly put down their weapons and raised their hands to surrender.

Cheng Zhijie easily took Yanjing, and he ordered people to liberate these slaves, let them help guard the prisoners, maintain order, and smoothly take Yanjing under his command.

After arranging the affairs of Yanjing, Cheng Zhijie's doors in Tubo have all been opened, and there is a horse in front of him.

Lao Cheng repaired for a while, and then led the army straight to Wagyu to enter the Hakki City that had been agreed.

Since the guard of Kemu City, Chisang Yala, has been practicing benevolent government in Subi, treating the herdsmen here well, and governing the Hamu City peacefully.

But there is also one place that bothers him, there is a tribe in the mountains, this tribe is very unproductive, and it is still a primitive matriarchal clan. In their tribe the female is king, and the male is only a tool for hunting and warfare.

Their total population was less than 10,000, and their warriors were less than 3,000; However, they were all extremely brave and did not obey the rule of Tibet, which was a great threat to the stability of Hakmu City.

After Chisanyala arrived here, she did everything possible to get in touch with Jiaermu (Queen) of the Eastern Female Kingdom, and through a long period of infiltration, the Eastern Female Kingdom gradually became familiar with and interacted with them.
