Chapter 377: Bravely Approaching the Cold Moraine (4)

Yeqi Mingyue's family did not leave, and they were still waiting for news from Li Wei.

Looking at his sister who didn't want to eat tea, Yeqi Mingshan sighed, and it was better to persuade him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and Yezhi Mingshan opened the door, but he was startled, and a big snow leopard with a big snow leopard on his shoulder walked in.

Throwing the snow leopard on the ground at once, he said, "Mingshan, this is a leopard I killed." There are no injuries, give it to your sister...... Little Lady of the Bright Moon. ”

put up with my sister back, but the name was not officially decided, so it was not easy to call.

looked at Hei Tooth Changzhi and saw that he still had many injuries on his body, and asked hesitantly, "What's going on?" ”

"Too lazy to use a knife, I beat it to death with my fists, so the fur is still intact." The mood was extremely depressed, I heard that there was a leopard in Cuishan that hurt people, so I took a group of guards, drove it out, and then beat each other, and actually let him beat him to death, watching him fight with this big leopard with bare hands, this fierce man, let a group of guards see cold sweat. Then he immediately carried it to Shanzhou City on a healthy horse.

"Thank you, General."

"No thanks, this time the black tooth disobeyed the military order and forcibly pulled the army out of Chiling, it is estimated that it will not stay long in Qinghai, if your family needs anything, just ask."

Yeqi Mingyue suddenly spoke: "General Blacktooth, do you think the prince will escape from danger?" ”

"Yes, yes."

"Don't lie to me."

"No," he said, and fled, and ran to a liquor store with a group of guards, and drank depressedly. After drinking, he staggered to find Li Jingxuan. Li Jingxuan is very conscious, and the black-toothed Changzhi carrying this leopard into the city has caused a sensation, and he went to drink again. After hearing about it, they left Shanzhou City together, saving him from getting drunk.

scolded and went back to Shancheng.

But the grief of Hei Tooth Changzhi and Qi Ming awakened the fierceness in the hearts of the soldiers. Seeing this situation, Ronzanpo will not be bored with herself, and will defend the cities and stop the offensive. But since this time, the merchants of Tuyuhun have gone to the Tang Realm to do business, and the news has finally become ***.

……

The sun was gradually setting, and a trace of worry flashed in Li Wei's eyes.

Everyone calls it the summer ice and snow of the Luo Zhen Valley, but it is not so terrifying. However, Poluozhen Valley is located in the southeast corner of Dulan, Qinghai, because of the topography, the temperature here is very low all year round, the average annual temperature is only one to five degrees. But it's not the most terrifying, the most important thing is that the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there are many snow-capped mountains on both sides, forming an empty valley airflow, so that the cold air of the snow-capped mountains hovers here. At night, it can be very chilly.

And now it's the end of October.

Listening to the mountain wind on both sides like a ghost crying wolf, Li Wei asked, "The scout ahead hasn't come back yet?" ”

"Nope."

"I'm going to spend the night here." Li Wei said, looked around, but the bare Gobi, trying to find some dead trees to lead the bonfire, it was difficult to find.

"If you want to stay overnight, you have to take it early, and if you are a little late, you can't see the scenery."

"It's better to cross this valley." Li Wei sighed, he only knew that there was this valley, but the Tang Dynasty lost Tuyuhun for a long time, and there was no detailed record, so I don't know how long this valley is. I chose to enter this valley at dawn, but the bad weather is still unimaginable. It was so cold that it almost turned into ice, and as soon as the man spoke, a large cloud of snow immediately came out, and three wounded soldiers had already frozen to death on horseback.

Spending the night in this valley can predict what tomorrow morning will look like.

At this moment, two scouts rode over and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is a valley not far ahead, and you can see Han Wai Mountain." ”

Hanwai Mountain is Ola Mountain, which belongs to the branch of Kunlun Mountain, and the Tibetan name is very beautiful, which means blue mountain. But it turns out that Tuyuhun is not this name, and the name is translated as Hanwai Mountain. It means that the sea is high here, and in most places the sea is more than 4,000 meters, and the Han people can only cry in despair due to altitude sickness when they arrive here. Li Jing didn't care either, and directly translated and quoted, you said that I Han people are crying here, why did I fight here, and even chased him until the end, and the thirsty soldiers drank horse blood in the desert, forcing your family to commit suicide.

The weather in Hanwai Mountain is still very cold, but it is not like the wind valley climate here. Therefore, when Li Wei heard this, he said: "Hurry up and march out of the Luozhen Valley." ”

When night fell, I could finally see the tall mountains in the distance, shining white in the night.

However, Li Wei knew that this difficult journey had just begun.

……

The army stopped, and many soldiers led the horses out and let the horses gnaw on the yellow grass.

However, the beautiful and rich Dafeichuan in the past has become miserable. In many places, you can see the ashes that have been burned, and some people are huddled and re-erected their tents, but they are basically burned to the same extent, so two or three families live in one tent for the time being. This is the current Dafeichuan, more people have fled to distant places, some have been incorporated into other departments, some have wandered around, and many people have difficulty surviving this winter.

Mohe Khan followed behind the Lunqin Tomb and said carefully: "Da Lun, you see that Da Feichuan is like this, can you ...... Think of a way? ”

"You first allocate a batch of supplies from other places to slow down, I still have arrangements, I have secretly sent people to the land of Jiannan in the Tang Dynasty to buy and exchange a batch of grain, and then I will also allocate a batch to you Tuyuhun."

This is the main reason why after the repeated victories of the Qinling Dynasty, he did not expand the results of the war and invaded more territory of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo is now a big country, and even in a sense, with the help of the plateau, it can wrestle with the Tang Dynasty.

But this balance has to be taken well, compared with the Tang Dynasty, the country is still poor, and the population base is insufficient. It can recruit 400,000 troops to participate in the war, but it can't last, and if you shoot for a while, you have to end it immediately, otherwise you will get a big deal. However, he was still an extreme militant in his bones, believing that if he did not fight the Tibetan soldiers, he would be slack and decline, and that starting a war, as long as it started in the case of a big victory, would have many effects, establish the prestige of the Gar family, and divert domestic contradictions and pressures.

He is also walking a tightrope, but he can handle it just right, and he has a good way, and it is precisely because of his management that Tubo's national strength is constantly rising, at least on the surface.

After thinking about it, he called over several Tuyuhun generals who Li Wei called that day, and asked, "What did Prince Tang say to you that day?" ”

One of the generals recounted the conversation that day.

On Qinling laughed and said, "This prince is quite interesting, this is to say hello to you first." ”

Several generals were silent. The most worrying thing is this, the Tang Dynasty also learned that the Tubo people should not be shameless, and sent a large army to burn and loot, so Tuyuhun was caught in the middle and suffered.

"It's a pity that he didn't do a good job enough, and he didn't kill many people, otherwise this grassland would have really begun to lie."

It's just burning, and robbing, except for the people who resisted, they really didn't raise any butcher knives, compared to the fact that after the defeat of Tubo outside Dafeichuan City that day, everything was done in order to escape. On Qinling said: "But sooner or later he will come to his senses. This Tang prince is different, fortunately he is the prince, if it is for the emperor, with his ability to employ people, it is impossible for me to find a mistake in it. If we don't concentrate the army to kill him in Qinghai, it will not only be a hidden danger for our Tubo, but also a hidden danger for your Tuyuhun people. ”

"So where does this Tang prince want to flee to?"

"That's so easy to guess, but most of the time it won't run away."

"Why?"

"And the end is far away, and many precipitous places are easy to set up obstacles for our army. The people living along the route were very scarce, and it was very difficult to obtain supplies. Once you are in a desperate situation, it is impossible to have room to maneuver. However, this person's behavior is very unreasonable, so I also gave an order for the soldiers of the Western Regions to start intercepting. ”

"So where will he flee?" Mo He asked worriedly.

"You come with me," he called Mohe to the tent, hung up a large map, and said, "Khan, look at the map." To the west of Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, the northwest plateau is flat, and the west of Gansongling is the territory of the party, and there are many avenues leading to the party, Bailanqiang. This is one of them. The second is to take Pengpo Mountain from Asan Mountain, or take Bailing from Baiyayi to reach Jingzhou in the Tang Dynasty. From the Heishui River Valley, or from the Somo River, you can reach Victoria in the Tang Dynasty. Take the Shiyang Road from Rongyang Water, or take the Hechuan Road of Songcheng (Kangding) to take Hechuan, or take the Lingguan Road from my Yecheng (Maogong County area) to Lingguan, these three roads are all small (Wu Zetian proposed to open this mountain to expand the road to fight Tubo, and Chen Ang wrote to block it), but the enemy just fled for his life, and he could lose his baggage and travel lightly, or he could use this to reach Yazhou. From my Lacheng to Beigu, you can reach Wangzhou. From my Songcheng to the gas ditch, you can reach the Tang Dynasty Lizhou. This is only the section from Lizhou to Songzhou, below Lizhou, there are several roads to Nanzhao, although it is not easy to walk, but it is enough to escape. How do you say Prince Tang chooses? ”

"What does the big talk mean is that the prince of the Tang Dynasty borrowed Bai Lanqiang or borrowed Duomibu to sneak back to the Tang Dynasty?" Mo Hedu was not so anxious to kill the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. But if the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty is not killed, the use of troops in Qinling will not stop, and Tuyuhun will have to continuously replenish the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of troops. But even he also ignored a small road, that is, the path from Wuhai to the party members, which was very difficult to walk.

"Well, you've grown up."

On Qinling is qualified to say this, it was his father Lu Dongzanping who destroyed Tuyuhun back then. This khan was also supported by the Gar family, because he was a puppet, so he chose a child of the royal family to be the khan at that time, that is, this Mohe. Many years have passed, and now Mo He has finally grown into a young man.

Mo He didn't dare to speak.

"Well, you're starting to understand something. When the princess of Zampu grows up, I will marry her to you as a princess. ”

Mangsong Mangzan also has fertility, but it is very low, and he has given birth to several daughters, and this princess is one of them, and she is still very young.

When this sentence is said, it can be seen that on Qinling's hand in Tubo covers the sky, not only is he governing the country, but he can even intervene in the marriage of Zampu's daughter.

"Thank you." Mo He said, looking at the map again.

"Don't look at it, not necessarily. Maybe he's still ambitious, and he'll kill us in some cities. On Qinling laughed, but then said: "It's a pity that I still underestimated him, otherwise I would only send 5,000 elite soldiers to follow, and another 5,000 elite soldiers will be sent to Wuhai, and there will be 2,000 elite soldiers in Wuhai." When the Tang army escaped from Han Wai Mountain, because the mountain was not suitable for the height and the soldiers were weak, the Tang army could be annihilated in one fell swoop. ”

After finishing speaking, he sighed again, underestimating for the first time that the third brother would lose his troops, and the most regrettable thing was the loss of Tuyuhun General Su Hegui. The second time he underestimated it, he sat back and saw another good opportunity, and had to send tens of thousands of troops to follow him.

But his eyes were fixed on the map, and he was also wondering, where did this Tang Dynasty prince want to escape from?

: Note 1, there are three theories in Wuhai, one is that it is in the west of Fuqi City, the most implausible statement. The second is that it is in the bitter sea in the south of Gonghe County, but you can see the description in the history books, there are many large rivers nearby, and it is close to the Baihai Sea, and the north looks at Jishi Mountain, which is also not consistent. The third less popular theory in my personal opinion is that it is most credible in the winter to Zona Lake.

The place names of the two trails in Jishi Mountain are extremely difficult to examine, but there are two of them, which are roughly equivalent to the current eighth class to Jungong Town, and near Hebei Town to Gander Highway. The first is about the way of Songtsen Gampo to break the party. The second trail is slightly larger. If you can't take the specific test, you just need to know it, anyway, there are two difficult mountain paths. Have fun.
