"My lord, there is a small canyon fifty miles ahead, the terrain is long and dangerous, and it is the only passage that leads to a fork in the road a hundred miles away."

Danzhu half-squatted in front of Guo Ye, spread out a sheepskin map, pointed to a point and said, "The other party has set up a sentry post here, a team of about five hundred people. The number is the garrison in Golmud City, they are by no means ordinary slave soldiers, they are well-equipped, and at least 200 people are all Tibetan cavalry in the middle of the period. My lord, as far as I know, there have never been checkpoint barricades here before, what is going on? ”

Guo Ye took a deep breath, then shook his head, and said suspiciously: "I really don't know this." However, Ben Hou is more curious now, we are going to Luoqi City this time to mourn Songtsen Gampo, and we will not pass through Golmud City at all, they are obviously trying to cut off our way to Luocheng City, strange, what do you want to do? ”

Danzhu raised his eyebrows and speculated: "Could it be that they still remember the revenge of the fall of Golmud City last time, and want to take advantage of the adult's envoy to Tibet this time to your disadvantage?" ”

"Hehe, it can't be."

Guo Ye waved his hand and chuckled: "If you want to be unfavorable to me, you won't just send a force of five hundred people, since you already know that I have entered Tibet, how can you not know that I am accompanied by three thousand soldiers and horses?" I ask you, did they just keep the checkpoint in the canyon and didn't push any further? ”

Danzhu nodded noncommittally.

Guo Ye said with a smile: "That's right, at least they won't and don't dare to be unfavorable to us for the time being, let Zhao Jiuchou give the order, and everyone will have a good rest and sleep after camping, and continue to set off early tomorrow morning." ”

"Huh? My lord, this is not to be done. ”

Danzhu immediately stood up and put away the sheepskin map, and hurriedly persuaded: "In case they suddenly launch a night attack, then we won't ......."

"Danzhu, you're thinking too much."

Guo Ye also got up, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said happily: "Benhou is not a thief when he enters Tubo this time, but as an envoy of the Tang Dynasty to go to Luoqi City to mourn Songtsan Gampo, how can they dare to be unfavorable to Benhou?" Killing an envoy of a country without permission is not a joke, not to mention that Tubo has now become a pot of porridge because of the death of Songtsen Gampo, where do you dare to provoke our Tang Dynasty easily? Now they can't take care of themselves, hey, why am I telling you this? Okay......"

Speaking of this, he waved his hand at Danzhu and urged: "Okay, okay, don't think about it, rest well, you will always pass through that canyon tomorrow, and then you will know what medicine they sell in their gourds." ”

Danzhu sighed as if he didn't understand, turned around and walked out of the camp to find Zhao Jiuchou.

The temperature difference on the plateau is large, although it is not winter now, but at night it is still cold wind howling, the weather suddenly cooled down, fortunately Guo Ye and they were well prepared before entering Tibet, otherwise they might have to freeze a large number of people when they woke up the next day.

When he woke up the next day, the three thousand soldiers and horses had already finished cooking and gathering.

Danzhu gave Guo Yesheng a hot meal, and after he finished it hastily, he ordered Zhao Jiuchou to set off.

In an instant, the dragon flag was flying, the flag was fluttering, and three thousand soldiers and horses were pulled.

Without baggage, the march was quick, and it was almost noon that the valley was reached.

As Danzhu said, the checkpoint of about 500 people is set up at the end of the canyon, and because the terrain is narrow and dangerous, there is really a bit of a posture that is difficult to open.

Guo Ye secretly looked at it, if the three thousand Xichuan troops attacked it, it would not be a big problem, but the loss would definitely not be small.

Almost in the middle of the canyon, about two hundred steps away from the opponent's checkpoint, Guo Ye suddenly raised his arms high and shouted, "Yu...... Command, stop advancing! ”

Zhao Jiuchou, Danzhu immediately tightened the reins when he heard this, and passed Guo Ye's instructions one by one.

Soon, the three thousand soldiers and horses stopped advancing, but they showed their blades one after another, and put on an offensive and defensive posture that was ready to be watched.

Dada~

Suddenly, the sentry point in front of him rode head-on, and after a while, he came to Guo Ye, and then respectfully turned over and got off the horse, and said to Guo Ye with his hands and fists: "Little Harrick has seen the Tang Dynasty envoy Guo, and my master heard that Guo Daren was ordered by the Tang Emperor to send an envoy to Tubo to mourn my country's Zampu, and specially ordered the little one to come here to greet Guo. ”

Guo Ye's face was slightly relieved when he heard this, Chong Danzhu and Zhao Jiuchou made a look, the two of them immediately understood, raised their arms and waved, and in an instant, the offensive and defensive momentum of the three thousand Xichuan troops suddenly disintegrated and returned to their original state.

Danzhu looked at Guo Ye with admiration, and secretly sighed, my lord is really not missing, these people really don't want to be unfavorable to us.

At this time, Guo Ye was still sitting on his horse, looking condescendingly at this Tubo man who called himself Harik, looking at the Tubo clothes and scimitar on his body, plus his fluent Chinese, he should be the leader of these 500 Tubo soldiers.

Immediately, he asked, "Harric, are you five hundred Tibetan soldiers here to meet me?" ”

Guo Ye deliberately bit the word "welcome" harder, and Harrick naturally heard it, and lowered his head with a red face on the spot.

Then, he stubbornly said: "The prestige of the envoy is as small as thunder, how can a team of five hundred people dare to get an axe in front of you?" We were just afraid of missing the opportunity to meet with the envoys, so we set up a roadblock this time. I also hope that the envoy will forgive his sins. ”

This Tubo man is surprisingly polite, but Guo Ye is a little unexpected, although he once occupied Golmud City in the Tubo country, and even killed the Tubo prince Duo Chiluo, the four words of Guo Ye of the Tang Dynasty definitely have some weight in Tubo.

But Guo Ye also knew very well in his heart that the reason why the other party respected him so much must also have the reason that his master had explained.

Now, he wanted to know even more about who Harrick's master was.

Immediately, he asked, "Harik, you should be the garrison of Golmud City, right?" This time, Ben Hou was going to the city of Luo, not Golmud. ”

Harik replied, "Lord Return, yes, the little one is the lieutenant general of Golmud City. The little one also knew that the envoy and his entourage were going to Golmud City and did not pass through Golmud City, but my master wanted to meet the envoy in Golmud City, so he sent a small team to wait here, so that the envoy and his party could move to Golmud City for a day. By the way, my master has already prepared a banquet in Golmud City, especially for the envoy to wash the dust. ”

Guo Ye frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart, he had to see himself when he said it, and he had to take Lao Tzu to Golmud City?

Immediately, he asked, "Harric, who is the master of your house?" ”

Harik shook his head and said very simply, "My master said that when he arrives in Golmud City, the envoy will see him. So ......"

Guo Ye suddenly sneered, and asked in a somewhat stiff tone: "Harik, what if I don't want to go?" Could it be that you want to rely on these 500 people to force Benhou to stay? ”

Harrick glanced at Guo Ye with a hesitant face, and muttered, "This ......"

I didn't know how to respond for a long time.

Guo Ye laughed violently and said happily: "Haha, Ben Hou is joking with you, okay, remove the checkpoint and lead the way." You, the master, have some skills, and you actually know that the appetite of the Marquis of Hangben tempted me to go to Golmud City to meet him. Tsk, it seems that he also knows that Ben Hou is the most curious. ”

Harrik turned his worries into joy, and after shouting yes, he turned his horse's head and ran back in the direction of the checkpoint, waving at the checkpoint, and constantly shouting muttering words.

After Danzhu translated in Guo Ye's ear, it turned out to be the meaning of reprimanding and removing the sentry post and preparing to return to the city.

Danzhu saw Harrick running away, so he asked: "My lord, the other party is only 500 people, it is impossible to forcibly keep us, forgive them and dare not come hard, why do you have to go to Golmud City?" ”

Guo Ye smiled mysteriously, then raised his head to look at the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, and then whispered to Danzhu: "You stay in the canyon with the scout horse for a while, and then you will leave later, and you will follow us after we have followed them for half an hour." You'll know the answer then. ”

After speaking, he shouted at Zhao Jiuchou: "Jiuchou, order the brothers, set off and go to Golmud." ”

"Whoa!"

"Master Hou has an order, set off for Golmud!"

About an hour later, Guo Ye's 3,000 soldiers and horses followed Harik towards Golmud City, about five or six miles away.

At this time, Danzhu took the scout horse to catch up with the large army, came to Guo Ye's side, and muttered with a frightened face: "My lord, you are really like a god, it turns out that less than half an hour after you followed them out of the canyon, the little one found that many Tubo soldiers were withdrawn from the canyon one after another, at least 5,000 men and horses. Damn, they still have an ambush up there. ”

Guo Ye smiled and said, "Danzhu, you obviously didn't find these five thousand centaurs in the first place. Think about it, if you fight with them in the canyon and want to forcibly break the checkpoint, the 5,000 Tibetan soldiers who are in ambush above suddenly throw stones on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon, set up crossbow arrows or something, you say we can't finish it all? ”

Danzhu lowered his head in shame for a while, and admitted his mistake: "My lord, it was Danzhu who was negligent and almost harmed the adult." ”

Guo Ye waved his hand disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's eat a trench and grow wise, I really want to get a good understanding of this Harrick's master, hehe, the other party is obviously determined to see me before I enter the city." ”

"Whoa!"

Danzhu answered in a low voice, and silently rode his horse to Guo Ye's side, following quietly, with mixed feelings in his heart.

After a while, the familiar head of Golmud City appeared in front of Guo Ye's eyes.

Harrick suddenly galloped back in front of him and shouted at Guo Ye, "Your Excellency, my master personally went out of the city to meet you. Look at ......"

Guo Ye looked in the direction that Harrick's arm was pointing at, and it was the gate of Golmud City.

Outside the city gate, there was a person standing in the wind surrounded by a group of guards, although Guo Ye was far away from him and couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but probably he still saw the other party's figure and vague appearance.

It's a man, a man in his forties and fifties, and he looks a little familiar!

Not? Could it be him?

Suddenly, a face that he had seen before appeared in Guo Ye's heart.
