Chapter 954: Inhumans Interfere
Although no Tubo cavalry was able to escape back to Qusanda on the other side of the river, the Tubo people in Qusangda had obviously discovered the abnormality of the riverside camp, and they had already guessed that the 5,000 Tubo cavalry had been wiped out, so there were many Tubo army patrols on the riverside after dark, and the scout camp of the Western Qin Army who crossed the river at night took a lot of risks before risking to touch the other side of the river and sneak into Qusanda to investigate.

After dinner, Xuan Si and Zheng San reported to Zhao Ziliang respectively on the results, battle damages, and captures.
Xuan Si reported: "King, in today's battle, our army killed 3,300 people and captured more than 1,500 people, and only more than 100 Tibetan cavalry took advantage of the chaos to flee in different directions!" Our army lost 92 heavy cavalry, 12 light cavalry, more than 420 Tubo servants, and 181 Tibetan mercenaries! ”
Zheng San reported: "Your Majesty, our army has captured more than 4,800 spears, more than 200 scimitars, more than 5,000 broken sheepskin jackets, 100 stone of grain, 500 camp tents, and more than 2,000 cattle and sheep!" ”
Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This group of Tubo troops is also too poor, none of the weapons and armor are decent, they are all some rags, and there are more than 2,000 cattle and sheep that can still allow the soldiers to have a few full meals!" Forget it, let's stop here today, after arranging the guards, sentry, and patrol personnel, everyone will go to rest, and come over early tomorrow morning! ”
"Yes!"
Nothing to say all night! The next day, early in the morning of September 13, the scouts sent by the scout battalion to infiltrate Qusanda on the other side of the river returned, and immediately went to the Chinese army's big tent to report to Zhao Ziliang what they had discovered.
"Report to the king, we have a total of twelve brothers, but only six have returned, and the remaining six have all died in Qu Sanda! We had almost touched the situation of Qu Sanda, and were about to withdraw quietly, but we were attacked inexplicably, first the two brothers fell to the ground for no reason, convulsed, foamed at the mouth, and soon died; Immediately after that, two brothers were killed by their own daggers, and the daggers were automatically unsheathed. This made the brothers lose their courage and retreat quickly, but they didn't want to be killed by arrows in the process of retreating, with the brothers' experienced skills, ordinary arrows could not hurt them at all, and they were responsible for breaking off, and their vigilance was extremely high, unless the arrows hit them in a very tricky and strange direction! ”
Zhao Ziliang frowned and asked, "You mean to say that the attacks you have been subjected to are beyond the scope of what you can understand?" ”
The scout captain nodded, "Yes, King! ”
Zhao Ziliang was silent for a moment and said: "This matter will be put aside for the time being, you can tell me about the situation you are investigating, how many troops and how many people does Qusanda still have?" ”
The captain of the scout replied: "Back to the king, Qusanda is a large area inhabited by the Tubo people, there are 30,000 people there, there are 4,000 infantry left, 1,000 cavalry, and the rest are old and weak women and children, this is the general topographic map of Qusangda!" After speaking, he took out a roll of paper from his bosom and handed it over.
Zhao Ziliang took it, opened it, looked at it in detail, and then put it on the table and shouted outside the tent: "Come on, go Master Shang Luo, please come!" ”
"Yes, King!"
After a while, Shang Liluo walked in wearing a monk's robe and short hair, and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "The poor monk greets the king!" ”
"Master excuse me!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand, and then commanded to the left and right: "Come here, give the master a seat!" ”
"Thank you, courtesy!" Shang Karma folded his hands and sat down on the horse that the guards had brought.
Zhao Ziliang instructed the scout captain: "You tell Master Shang Liluo what happened to you in detail, the more detailed the better!" ”
"Yes, King!" The scout captain agreed, and immediately told the story of himself and the others in detail, and the scout captain's eloquence was obviously good, and he spoke it vividly, making people feel as if they were in the scene and creepy.
After the scout captain finished speaking, he stepped aside, Zhao Ziliang waved him out to rest, and then said to Shang Qianluo: "Master, what do you think about this matter?" Does Qusanda have a practitioner like a master? ”
Shang Kaluo clasped his hands together and said: "King, if the scout captain didn't deliberately lie or exaggerate just now, Qu Sanda obviously has one or even more inhumans who have spiritual cultivation, but obviously, he or they are still limited in cultivation, and there is a great limit to the distance that can be used to directly carry out spiritual attacks or control weapon attacks with spiritual power, otherwise, none of this team of scouts will be able to escape!" ”
Zhao Ziliang slapped the table and said angrily: "Hmph, these aliens are really lawless, no one has stopped them in their cultivation, the monks must have the self-discipline and consciousness of the monks, don't care too much about mundane things, and now they actually use such strange arts to kill and injure the warriors of this king, it's really damn!" Master, I'm afraid that I have to ask the master to take action in this matter! ”
Shang Liluo hurriedly bowed down and said: "The poor monk came here this time to protect the Dharma of the king, if there is no stranger who uses such a strange technique to hurt the king or the warriors in the army, the poor monk will naturally not come forward or meddle in things, but this person has obviously broken the rules of the cultivation world, which the poor monk must not allow!" The king can rest assured, the matter will be handed over to the poor monk, but now that Qusangda's Tubo soldiers have blocked the river, the poor monk is weak and cannot forcibly cross the river, and he can't cross the river without hiding the trick of stealth, so he asks the king to send troops to assist! ”
Zhao Ziliang raised his hand and said, "Master doesn't need to worry, this king only has arrangements for this matter!" ”
At this time, Chen Qing walked in and reported: "King, the scout camp has sent someone to investigate clearly, there is still a place forty-five miles away from here that can cross the river, and the downstream needs to be seventy or eighty miles away to cross the river!" ”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and instructed Chen Qing: "Order the siege camp to cut down trees and prepare to build ships, and make a big noise!" In addition, let Zhao Bei and Zamu lead the army to cross the river forty-five miles away, and then attack Qu Sanda along the river! ”
Chen Qing hugged his fists and said, "Yes, king!" ”
Zhao Ziliang said to Shang Jialuo: "Master, you go with Zhao Bei's army, this king will order Zhao Bei to reserve time for you, before they attack, you have to deal with Qu Sanda's Inhumans!" ”
Shang Liluo promised: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”
After the siege camp began to cut down trees to build ships, there was a lot of noise, and the Tibetan army on the other side of the river apparently quickly discovered the situation here, and the number of Tibetan soldiers patrolling and guarding the river increased a lot, and the atmosphere seemed very tense.
Two days later, on the fifteenth day of September, the siege camp had built twelve ships along the river, which could only be used temporarily, because the time was too hasty, and the ships were not painted with tung oil, and the water would seep after a little longer, but it was obviously enough for the army to cross the river, but these dozen ships were still too few.
Zhao Ziliang waited for news in the camp, on the one hand, waiting for the news that Zhao Bei and Zamu led their troops to cross the river upstream to attack Qusangda, and on the other hand, they waited for the news that Xuanyi led the 99th Army and the Nibora Army to attack the Gongtang area.
Until the early morning of September 16, thick smoke rose over Qusangda on the other side of the river, and the soldiers of the Western Qin army who observed this scene reported the news to Zhao Ziliang, who immediately came to the riverside to observe after learning the news, and the wind blowing from the north of the river was faintly mixed with shouts and screams.
Near noon, the other side of the river finally erected a West Qin flag, the flag is particularly conspicuous under the continuous shaking of the flag bearer, seeing this scene, Zhao Ziliang showed a knowing smile, and said to the generals and officials: "It seems that Zhao Bei and Zamu have succeeded!" This king is going to cross the river to see what is going on."
Chen Qing hurriedly stopped and said, "King, let's wait for someone from the other side to send someone over to report the victory, and then go after confirming the news!" Besides, Qu Sanda has a strange person, and now I don't know if Master Shang Liluo has solved this matter, it is really inappropriate for the king to go rashly, for the safety of the king and the future of Western Qin, please think twice! ”
The generals and officials also dissuaded one after another, mainly because there were aliens on the opposite side who would attack mentally, and this kind of attack was really unguardable, and the officials and generals were desperately dissuaded, and Zhao Ziliang only had to give up his plan to cross the river now, and decided to wait for the other side to send someone over to report the battle situation before going.
After lunch, at less than three o'clock, someone on the other side of the river finally crossed the river in a small boat, and on the boat were several soldiers of the Western Qin army and Shang Jialuo.
After the boat docked, the group entered the camp of the Chinese army's big tent, and a soldier reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King Qiyu, we are the personal soldiers of General Zhao Bei, General Zhao ordered the villain to report to the king, our army has captured Qusanda and killed more than 2,700 enemies, and the remaining more than 1,200 people surrendered, and captured countless heavy grains and grass, cattle, sheep and horses, which cannot be counted for the time being!" Qusanda is left with only the old, weak, women and children, and there is no threat to our army."
Zhao Ziliang instructed the soldier: "You go back and tell Zhao Bei that after an hour, this king will go to Qusanda by boat and let him get ready!" ”
"Yes, king, the villain retires!"
After sending away Zhao Bei's personal soldiers, Zhao Ziliang looked at Shang Qianluo and asked, "Master, how is the situation?" Has the matter been resolved? ”
Shang Liluo clasped his hands together and said: "Back to the king, the poor monk has lived up to the king's expectations and has successfully resolved this matter, and there will never be another stranger in Qu Sanda who poses a threat to the king and the soldiers of the army!" ”
"Hahaha・・・・・・ good, good, the master is out, it's really extraordinary!" Zhao Ziliang laughed, and then instructed a eunuch beside him: "Come here, reward the master with 200 catties of high-grade paper, a purple gold bowl, and a Jinlan robe!" ”
Brahmanism has a large number of industries in Tianzhu, not only is not short of money, but also quite rich, the people of Tianzhu often offer incense money, some monks and temples are even rich and oily, Shang Kara as a Brahmin master figure is naturally not short of money, but Zhao Ziliang rewards are different, and the best paper can not be bought from the market, purple gold bowls and robes need the royal family's special official office to create and produce, only extraordinary people can get this honor.
Shang Liluo hurriedly replied: "Thank you, King!" ”
