The Jiannan army did not get too close to the city, but set up camp in the vast field seven miles away from the city. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This distance is obviously not the distance that a soldier and horse preparing to attack the city should be stationed, if you want to prepare for the siege, at least the camp must be advanced to within five miles of the city. In fact, Wang Yuan really didn't plan to attack Pibo City.

First, the army needed a lot of time to rest, and the rapid increase in altitude had a huge impact on the soldiers of the Jiannan Army. Nearly 30 percent of the soldiers and horses in the army suffered from severe altitude sickness, and the thin oxygen on the plateau made them tired and dizzy. Many people report difficulty breathing, as if they are inhaling with a straw in their mouth. The soldiers were wheezing for breath when they moved a little violently, and their movements became sluggish like old men. In this case, it is absolutely impossible to act rashly, but fortunately, most of this altitude sickness will disappear after the body has adapted to it, and all it takes is time.

The second and more important reason is that Wang Yuan hopes that the two letters he sent can be answered. He urgently needed to get in touch with the other two men and horses to find out where they were, and preferably to be able to move at one pace and discuss the best way to deal with the current situation.

Counting the days, seven or eight days have passed since the letter was sent, and it should have been delivered to the hands of the two armies. The reply was in these three or four days, but Wang Yuan was very anxious in his heart. Because he didn't know anything about the situation of the other two soldiers and horses at the moment, and he didn't know anything about the thoughts of the generals they led. The content of those two letters was actually to advise the two armies to act cautiously and not to rush forward, because at present, the three roads seem to be raging, but in fact, they have entered the core area of the Tubo State, and they are encountering the most powerful soldiers and horses of the Tubo State. If anything happens to any of the soldiers, the other two will also be under even greater pressure.

In fact, Wang Yuan's heart is to hope that the three armies will advance and retreat together and protect each other. Although the total number of the current three-way army may be less than 150,000, it may face a Tibetan army twice as large as itself. But if they can cooperate with each other, then both the attack and the retreat are easy. But what Wang Yuan was most worried about was the situation mentioned in Yang Guozhong's letter, if the other two Tang armies really rushed forward to attack, it would be a catastrophe. Wang Yuan hoped that they would not be really so stupid, and that they would not really make a rash move.

Wang Yuan was calm on the surface, but extremely anxious inside. This is naturally seen by the closest people around me. Princess A Luo was very worried about Wang Yuan's inability to sleep all night, she had never seen Wang Yuan behave like this. Wang Yuan has never been surprised, but this time it seems that it is difficult to dispel anxious thoughts in his heart. Princess A Luo asked, and Wang Yuan would not answer her, because he didn't want to pass on this inner anxiety to others. Even if it was a pillow person, Wang Yuan didn't want her to worry about it, but just smiled and told Ah Luo that it was because of the insomnia caused by the difficulty of adapting to the water and soil.

Of course, Ah Luo didn't believe it, and she had no one else to ask for help, so she had to turn to Gongsun Lan for help. Gongsun Lan is probably the only person who can enlighten and dredge Wang Yuan's thoughts, which A Luo can see clearly. Since marrying into the Wang family, Ah Luo has known that this titular cousin is not as simple as a cousin. Over time, the relationship between Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan was also clear. Ah Luo knew that in Wang Yuan's mind, this cousin Gongsun was unique and had an extremely important status. And this cousin Gongsun is also worthy of Wang Yuan's doing, she has always been the guardian and enlightener by Wang Yuan's side, and she is very quiet and low-key. When there is something, he follows Wang Yuan to be born and dies, but when he has nothing to do, he disappears and disappears, admires the flowers and dances the sword alone, and does not compete with others. In the palace, Wang Yuan always went to look for her, but she rarely took the initiative to find Wang Yuan.

It is this indifferent and unsolicited attitude that makes Gongsun Lan win the respect of everyone. No one hates her because of the relationship between Gongsun Lan and Wang Yuan, on the contrary, they are willing to talk to her when they have something on their mind. Of course, no one mentioned that she was Li Xin'er's master, but she was entangled with Wang Yuan, this kind of thing was actually not a pimple in everyone's hearts.

A Luo found Gongsun Lan to ask her for help, and asked Gongsun Lan to enlighten Wang Yuan. After listening to Ah Luo's description of Wang Yuan's sleepless night, Gongsun Lan groaned for a long time and said, "Ah Luo, I want to accompany Erlang to relax, hoping to soothe his mind." You may need to be alone with him, though, and you won't be surprised. ”

Ah Luo hurriedly said: "Sister Gongsun's words have tormented me. How could I be surprised by what happened to my sister and Jiro? It's a blessing for Erlang to have someone like his sister by his side, so I won't be jealous of others. ”

Gongsun Lan's face was slightly red, and she also felt that her politeness was a little too much. and Wang Yuan have been alone more than once, and the ambiguous relationship is also well known, but at this moment, it seems quite hypocritical to say kind words. But Gongsun Lan doesn't know what happened to her during this time? Since the capture of Motuo City, Gongsun Lan didn't want to stay by Wang Yuan's side for a long time, and she had been worried about the promise she had given Wang Yuan before breaking the city. She was afraid that Wang Yuan would make this request when no one was around, but she didn't know how to respond. So if you can hide, you can avoid Wang Yuan as much as possible, and there seem to be some inexplicable thoughts in your heart.

But hearing Ah Luo's narration of Wang Yuan's anxious and insomnia state, Gongsun Lan was also very anxious, of course she had to figure out why Wang Yuan was like this. Gongsun Lan was confident that there was nothing in Wang Yuan's heart that she would hide from herself. I don't know where this confidence comes from, but Gongsun Lan really thinks so. Maybe when he and Wang Yuan are distracted, Wang Yuan will be able to talk about the troubles in his heart, and he will be able to help him relieve them. And the matter between himself and Wang Yuan also has to be solved, although Wang Yuan will not be aggressive to fulfill his promises, but every time they meet, he always feels that his smile is a little weird. It's not a good way to dodge like this, it's better to face him, if something has to happen, it's better to let yourself and others suffer.

In the afternoon, Wang Yuan sat in the big tent with his cheeks held and closed his eyes to recuperate. It seemed that everything was quiet, but his mind had been running rapidly, thinking about the various news that Tanma had returned, filtering and analyzing them one by one in his mind, and judging all kinds of possibilities. So it seems that he is meditating and recuperating, but in fact, his mind is extremely sore from lack of sleep. He is not a person who is easily anxious, but the situation in front of him is too unfavorable for a moment to solve. This is a moment related to the life and death of the Jiannan Army, a critical time related to the most accurate victory or defeat of this war, too much pressure and unpredictable factors, whether from the imperial court or the opponent, have made Wang Yuan extremely cautious and thoughtful. Thus making it difficult for him to calm down.

Outside the big tent, a figure came to Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan opened his eyes slightly and saw the smiling face of Gongsun Lan in armor.

"Huh? How can my cousin be free to see me? Wang Yuan smiled and sat up straight.

Gongsun Lan smiled lightly and said, "What? Shall I not come to you? ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "How come? My cousin wants to see me, and I have to get up to see me in the middle of the night. ”

Gongsun Lan took a sip and said, "I'm here to ask you for something." ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "This is strange, my cousin will beg me?" My cousin never asks for help. ”

Gongsun Lan said: "If you say that there are words, I am not an immortal, and I don't ask for anything." ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "My cousin begged me, didn't that kill me?" I fully support my cousin in anything she wants to do, and don't talk about what she asks for. My cousin wants the moon in the sky, and I have to poke it with a bamboo pole to give it a try. ”

Gongsun Lan was amused by Wang Yuan and said, "Who wants what moon?" I just wanted to leave the camp for a day and go to the snowy peaks twenty miles to the south to find something. ”

Wang Yuan frowned and said, "Looking for something?" Looking for something? ”

Gongsun Lan said softly: "When I left Chengdu, I heard that there is a peerless treasure snow lotus on the snow-capped mountains in the territory of Tubo, and this thing is extremely miraculous when used in medicine. I heard that it is not only a detoxification elixir, but also an excellent treatment for women's diseases. Lan Xinhui's sister was very weak when she gave birth to the eldest lady, although she used the home remedies of the sand scorpion to heal, but her body was always not as good as before. I promised her that this time I would pick snow lotus for her and bring it back so that she could recuperate. Now that the army has been stationed to rest these days, I want to go to the snow-capped mountains to have a look. It's rare to be so close to the snow-capped mountains. ”

Wang Yuan sighed: "I see, that's the way to go." I'm ashamed to say that I should do such things, but my cousin should bother. I'm too derelict as a husband. It's time to go, it's time to go. How can there be a reason to enter Baoshan and return empty-handed, according to my temper, the land will also be scavenged for three layers. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled and said, "You agreed?" ”

Wang Yuan said: "Of course I agree, I'll let Ah Luo go with you." ”

Gongsun Lan shook her head and said, "I want you to go with me, are you willing?" ”

Wang Yuan was stunned and said, "Me? How can I go? The army is stationed here......"

Gongsun Lan smiled: "Just now I said that I want you to pick the moon, but now it's pushing back." Besides, you blamed yourself for not caring enough about Sister Lan just now, wouldn't it be just right for you to go together to make up for it? ”

Wang Yuan was speechless, got up and said: "Okay, let's go, anyway, it's all trivial, Song Jiangong and Li Mi can also handle it." ”

Gongsun Lan smiled: "Don't worry, let's go today and come back tomorrow, we won't delay the big event." Could it be that the Tubo people still know that you left the barracks, there is no commander in the army, and you can't take the initiative to attack the camp? ”

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "I wish they were like this." Don't say so much, when are we leaving? Do you want to bring some guards? ”

"Let's go now, just the two of us, and no one will take any." Gongsun Landau.

"Don't you bring anybody? You and me? Wang Yuan tilted his head to look at Gongsun Landao, with a familiar weird smile on his face.

"What? Isn't it possible? If you are long-winded, I will change my mind. Gongsun Lan had a fever on her face, stomped her feet and turned out of the big tent, not daring to face that weird and evil smile.
