Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Ancestral Stone Tribe?
And after seeing this scene, Li Xinran, who had been staying in the carriage, also poked her head out with a shocked face, she had lived in Chang'an City before, and she had never seen such a tragic scene at all, she asked with a pale face, "Are the wars so tragic?" What is wrong with these innocent villagers? ”
Hearing Li Xinran's words, everyone present was silent, even Long Yan, who often went to the battlefield, and then Li Xinran turned his head to Long Yan and asked, "You should know about this tragic situation caused by Tubo!" Why didn't you drive the Tibetan cavalry away? ”
Long Yan was silent for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "It's an order from General Lin Yuan, he said that war is inevitable casualties, and our current task is to do a good job in daily training to meet the decisive battle of the Tubo army~"
Hearing Long Yan's words, Lu Chen glanced at Long Yan with a little meaning, and then he looked in the direction where they came, that is, the direction where Lu Linyuan's military camp was located, after a long time. Lu Chen www.biquge.info muttered softly, "I hope you don't stand on the wrong team!" Lu Chen's voice was very small, and no one in these people with a heavy heart heard his words at this moment.
After a long time, when everyone gradually got out of their heavy hearts, Lu Chen got back on his horse and said, "The team turns, let's move towards the northwest!" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's words, everyone was stunned, and even Li Xinran was puzzled and asked, "Didn't we discuss going to the southwest before, why did we suddenly change direction?" ”
Long Yan and the other generals also looked at Lu Chen suspiciously. Seeing everyone's puzzled eyes, Lu Chen explained as he walked, "The other party will definitely be prepared after knowing the news of our expedition, and we will inevitably have a bitter battle when we go there!" ”
"General, do you mean that our whereabouts in Tibet are already known? Could it be that there are traitors in our army!? Long Yan lost his voice in shock.
Looking at Long Yan's shocked gaze, Lu Chen did not deny or nod, but looked into the distance, and said to himself, "I hope you are not a traitor, otherwise you ......"
In fact, when he got the map, Lu Chen planned to go to the northwest. Although there are many mountains in that direction and there are few villages, it is precisely because of this reason that most of the Tubo troops who plundered there were infantry, and in terms of infantry, Lu Chen's army still had a great advantage.
What's more, although the Tubo army in the southwest is scattered, most of them are cavalry, and once these people gather more than 100 people, Lu Chen's more than 2,000 people can't stop them all. And if they gather five or six hundred cavalry, they are fully capable of confronting Lu Chen and them head-on.
Lu Chen, who knew that the strength of the army was weak, naturally would not go to find abuse by himself, and the grain and grass that Lu Chen had prepared for more than 2,000 people these days were the best in Lin Yuan's army. Lu Chen brought a lot of belongings when he came, and even if he didn't have them, Li Xinran would give them to him. As the favorite young daughter of the hussar general, Li Xinran's family background is very rich.
After these days of training, more than 2,000 people have begun to enter the rhythm according to his plan, and even some combat methods have been improved a lot by Lu Chen. Although they were a little uncomfortable at first, they soon realized that the current training method is more effective than the previous training method.
Under the leadership of Lu Chen, a group of people went directly to the towering mountains in the northwest, and only after reaching the mountains did Lu Chen take out the map and say, "Our destination is those small tribes sandwiched between the two mountain ranges. According to the records, these small tribes were often attacked by the Tibetan army, but these Tibetans did not kill them, but went to loot them after a while. Obviously, these small villages are used as their food and grass supply areas, and we are going to get rid of those tumors this time! ”
"What is a cancer?" Li Xinran asked with a puzzled face.
Hearing the question, Lu Chen came to his senses, this was in the Tang Dynasty, and he casually prevaricated, "A tumor is a bad thing"
Before coming to one of the mountain ranges, Lu Chen suddenly ordered to stop advancing. Afterwards, he asked more than 2,000 people to rest on the spot and prepare for the big battle! As for Lu Chen, he changed his clothes, dressed up as a down-and-out scholar, and walked towards the small villages between the mountains.
He had to find out the situation here before attacking, and it was very dangerous to act rashly without knowing the strength of the opponent.
Approaching the small village, it is surrounded by patches of farmland that have been carved out. The land between the two mountains is still very good, the crops in the field seem to be thriving, and it is clear that this land is very nutritious, and in this large field there are a few villagers working here and there.
Seeing Lu Chen approaching, the faces of these people first showed a trace of vigilance, but when they saw Lu Chen's dress clearly, the vigilance on the faces of these people slowly dissipated.
Lu Chen walked over to a villager and asked, "Hello, may I ask what kind of place is this?" ”
This person first glanced at Lu Chen from head to toe, and after making sure that he was really a wanderer here, he replied, "This is the Zushi tribe, our ancestors migrated here thousands of years ago, and they don't know about it outside." I only know that we belong to Datang here, but this place is too far away from Datang, and I don't know where Datang is."
Hearing what this person said, Lu Chen was obviously stunned, he didn't expect these people to be so closed, he subconsciously asked, "Then no one in your village went out?" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's doubts, he saw that there was a hint of awe in this person's eyes, "The ancestral stones of our tribe are reluctant to leave this place, so the ancestors have made a rule a long time ago, and the people of our tribe cannot leave this valley to protect our ancestral stones, not only us, but also the tribes next to us!" ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen naturally thought that these people were just too feudal and superstitious, after all, the theory of gods and ghosts was very popular in the Tang Dynasty. As for what this person said about the ancestral stone's reluctance to leave this place, Lu Chen didn't believe it at all, could a stone still show its emotions?
Seeing Lu Chen's disbelieving look, this person's face did not show the slightest surprise, after all, as long as people from outside heard their ancestral stones, they didn't believe it. He didn't get angry, and patiently explained, "The ancestral stone is enshrined in our patriarch's house, if you don't believe it, you can go and see it." However, you have to go with awe, or the ancestral stone will be unhappy! ”
Hearing this, Lu Chen's face showed a hint of surprise, if this stone was really so extraordinary, wouldn't the Tubo people who came to loot not be moved?
However, Lu Chen was now just a down-and-out wanderer, so he couldn't ask directly, but indirectly, "I walked this way, and I met several villages that were robbed by Tubo's soldiers and horses along the way, haven't you been robbed here?" ”
