Chapter 572: Time Changes
readx;
Qingyi's ghost chapter has finally returned to Qingtang City!
More than 2,000 people tossed and turned in the snow-covered mountains and forests for nearly a month, and after a lot of hard work, they finally bypassed the niche valley and entered the territory of Hehuang. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Fortunately, the Song army had not yet launched an attack, so they were received by the Tibetan garrison, and only then did they stabilize and see the light of day.
For more than a month, they lacked food and clothing, hunger and cold, and one by one they were no longer human. Hundreds of people were left in the mountains and forests forever because of injuries or hunger and cold, and less than 2,000 people were brought back by Qingyi Ghost Chapter.
Such a ruined army appeared, and the Tibetan garrison thought it was a famine Qiang tribe in the mountains and forests, but the scale seemed to be too large, so that there were many doubts.
Ghost Zhang was originally strong and strong, but at the moment he was also marketing dry bones, and the whole person looked a little depressed, so that the garrison didn't recognize this famous commander at first.
It wasn't until Ghost Zhang took out the troop transfer token granted by Zampu that the garrison knew that General Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Zhang had returned, and the army of Niche Valley had returned.
But when I went, there were 20,000 people, and when I came back, there was less than a tenth. And it's still this virtue, when the mutton rice is delivered, one by one is like a starving ghost reincarnated, and it is quite elegant to gobble it up.
These soldiers have been hungry in the mountains and forests for a month, and they can only hunt some wild animals to eat on weekdays, but the snow is too thick, and hunting is not easy, and they can only barely maintain their lives and the most basic physical strength. With plenty of food at the moment, where can you take care of so much?
It's just that in the eyes of the garrison, it is inevitable that they feel barbaric, and their hearts are even more violently shocked. The heroic and warlike General Onizhang failed miserably when he went out on the expedition. Even if you escape, it's a terrible situation. How terrifying is the front line? Was the Song army a powerful celestial soldier? Invisibly. The Tibetan garrison had doubts in their hearts, and they had not yet seen a human figure, but they already had a little fear of the Song army in their hearts.
This is the goal that Lin Zhao wants to achieve, he failed to annihilate all the ghost chapters, but he can also convey the strength of the Song army through them and cause psychological pressure on the Tubo army.
Qing Yi Jiegui Zhang obviously realized this, and he also wanted his soldiers to maintain a minimum military appearance, but sometimes orders couldn't resist human instinct at all. Hunger produces instincts. What's more, looking at this scene, the ghost chapter is helpless. He knew that in order to reverse this situation, what was needed was a victory, a victory to revive the morale of the Tibetan army.
It's just that Lin Zhao is standing still for the time being, so he can only wait for the opportunity, and the top priority is to rush back to Qingtang City to remind Zampu to be careful, and then there is to ask for guilt.
Qing Yi has been guilty for a long time, and he is indeed a guilty body in terms of form.
Unexpectedly. Back in Qingtang City, when Zampu Dong Yu saw the ghost chapter. almost burst into tears, where there is the slightest blame, but there is a lot of condolences and love.
"Zampu, Ghost Chapter underestimated the enemy, so much so that he was defeated in Baicheng, lost the Niche Valley, and also caused Prince Ali Bone to fall into the enemy camp, please Zanpu punish the crime, otherwise Ghost Chapter will not be able to sleep and eat." Qingyi's ghost chapter was very unexpected, Zampu's non-punishment was unprecedented, but what was such a grand courtesy? How can you be treated like this?
Dong Yu shook his head and said, "It's good that you can come back, although you are a little negligent in this battle, it is not entirely your fault." Song will be smarter than he imagined, if you want to say that you are underestimating the enemy, why shouldn't I? Besides, if it weren't for the loss of the Niche Valley, you wouldn't have ...... Ali Gu himself is also responsible. ”
When it comes to Ali Gu, Dong Yu is also helpless, and he is also very concerned about this "son". However, he couldn't do anything, and he had to pretend to be casual on the surface, otherwise the people of the Song Dynasty might have strange goods to live in and ask for a price.
Dong Yu has already understood the specific situation over there in detail, and the ghost chapter is responsible, but after all, there are too many surprises. Moreover, it is the time to employ people, and the ghost chapter is too important for him and for Hehuang Tubo. He is already fortunate to be able to come back, how can Dong Yu endure the harsh criticism again? What's the point of being harsh?
"But, Zamp...... After all, Ghost Zhang is the boss, and he sent troops rashly, so that he was defeated, and he failed to live up to Zampu's expectations, it was really ......" Qing Yijie Ghost Zhang's eyes were red as he spoke, and he blamed himself.
"Ghost Zhang, don't worry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, just start over." Dong Yu said: "As for Ali Gu, Mrs. Tai doesn't blame you, she asked you to continue to lead the troops and find a way to save Ali Gu, so what else can I say?" ”
Ali Gu is Mrs. Qiao's beloved, and when she learned that her grandson was captured, Mrs. Qiao was also quite sad, and even burst into tears. But this is a strong and far-sighted woman, who loves her grandson and cares more about the safety of Hehuang. Although Ghost Zhang was at fault, he also knew that he was the general of the Pillar State in Tubo, and he was very rational and did not blame. As for rescuing Ali Gu, he did have this idea, but unfortunately it is difficult to say whether he got his wish or not.
Qingyi Jiegui Zhang heard the attitude of Zampu and Mrs. Qiao, and sighed even more in his heart, while blaming himself, it was more of a kind of idea of dying for his confidant, so he fought for this trust, and fought for his life to protect the safety of Tubo and drive the Song army out of Hehuang.
"Xie Zanpu is tolerant, and the ministers should be guilty of meritorious service!"
"Well, that's right, the matter of resisting the Song army is left to you!" Dong Yu believes in ghost chapters as always.
Qing Yi knotted the ghost chapter and said: "When the minister came back, he had already learned the news that the Song army was just standing still in the Niche Valley......"
"Well, it should be the generals waiting for the emperor's edict, the people of the Song Dynasty are like this, the emperor is thousands of miles away, but he still has to point fingers at the war." Dong Yu didn't think so, he didn't doubt that Qingyi was employing people, and he almost had absolute trust.
"Zampu, the minister thinks that with our strength, we want to protect the whole country, and it should be possible to defend Qingtang City, but if we want to fight back and recapture Niche Valley and Hezhou, I'm afraid it's not enough......" Qingyi Jiegui Zhang quickly entered the role, completed the responsibility of the Tubo general, and gave advice to Dong Yu.
"That's true, Hehuang's strength is not as good as when the first king, many tribes in the west are uneasy, and a large number of our troops have been restrained, and the strength that can deal with the Song army is indeed a little thin."
Although Jiao Guluo and Dong Yu's father and son are nominally Tubo Zampu, the area they control is only the Hehuang generation, which is more of a spiritual symbol of the entire plateau, and the many tribes below are only dependent, but in fact they are independent. During the Jiaoguoluo era, all the tribes were very stable, and after Dong Yu ascended the throne, the situation began to deteriorate.
The Tibetan tribes were volatile and unstable, especially in the western kingdom of Guge and the Michuan region where Dong Yu's other elder brother, Moyujiao, was located, and the nearby Uighurs were also eyeing each other, and they really scattered a lot of their forces to defend it. The forces that can really confront the Song Dynasty are not very sufficient, and they lost 20,000 in the battle of Baicheng, and now they are indeed a little stretched.
Therefore, what Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Chapter said is not bad at all, with the current strength of Tubo, it is not easy to resist the Song army and defend the country. If you want to recover the Niche Valley, or even Hezhou, it is a bit of a fool's dream, and it is far away. Of course, unless there is a major strategic mistake on the part of the Song army, this possibility is very small.
At this time, it is definitely not possible to give up, so there is only another way to go, and that is to ask for help. Only with the help of other forces can the goal be achieved, and today's Hehuang is in the same situation as the original Hezhou, which is completely similar.
Mu Zheng is looking for them Hehuang, but Hehuang's possible ally is only one - Western Xia!
In the northwest region, the Song, Western Xia, and Tubo have been conquests with each other, but there are also cooperation and utilization, and the relationship between them is a copy of Wei, Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. In the past, it was the Song Dynasty that united with Tibet to resist the Western Xia, but now the Song Dynasty has defeated the Western Xia and threatened the Tibetans.
Then there is an alliance between the two losers, and their current relationship can be regarded as a cold one, and they both need to be careful of the powerful enemy Song Dynasty.
Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter and said, "Can Zampu contact Xixia?" ”
"I've already photographed the envoys, but I haven't received a reply yet."
"It is estimated that at the beginning, the Xixia people also wanted to wait and see, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but now, I think they should have a decision, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if the river is lost, the Xixia will stay in a nightmare forever." Qingyi Jiejie Ghost Zhang said firmly: "Therefore, the Western Xia people will definitely have a decision. ”
"I hope so, Liang Yiburi, and the impulsive woman of the Empress Dowager Liang, I hope they can be rational this time." While speaking, Dong Yu was worried. Powerful neighbors do not have a wise and rational monarch, and when the family is a woman, it is easy to move, and it is easy to get into trouble!
"Let's wait for now, I want to come to Xixia and there will be results soon!"
"You have a good rest for a few days, and you will be busy for the rest of the day!"
"Yes!" Qing Yijie Ghost Chapter nodded lightly, it stands to reason that he should say goodbye and leave at this time, but Ghost Zhang didn't move, as if he wanted to say something, but he was spitting and stopping.
Seeing this, Dong Yu said: "Say whatever you want!" ”
"Zampu, Mu Zheng is here too!" Obviously, this is a sensitive character, and the ghost chapter is inevitably cautious. Although it has been many years, it is really hard to say whether Zampu's heart knot is untied, so Qingyi does not dare to be bold.
"It's good to be here!" Dong Yu hesitated for a moment, nodded lightly and said: "Now is the time to employ people, let him stay by your side to help, let him come to have a meal together another day, after all, it is a family!" ”
In any case, Mu Zheng is his nephew, although he used to have a deep hatred with Blind Felt, but after all, it has been many years in the past. The blind felt is dead, and River State no longer exists, so what's the point of caring about all this? What's more, at the moment they have a common enemy, the Song Dynasty.
When facing a powerful enemy, it is the time for the family to unite and fight against the foreign enemy. Mu Zheng can come to Qingtang City, proving that he can let go, the younger generations are like this, what else can't he let go of Dong Yu? Time has passed, and it's time to release the old suspicions! (To be continued.) )
