199.Chapter 217
γFirst Updateγ
For nearly half a month, Guo Ye led 3,000 Longxi troops all the way, taking the official road and the mountain road, relying on the customs clearance document issued and stamped by Lu Chengqing, and even passing through Zizhou, Langzhou, Guozhou, Yazhou and other four states, all of which were safe.
On the fifteenth day, the group finally went out of Shuzhong Jiannan Road smoothly.
Even if it went well, in the past fifteen days of trekking through mountains and rivers, and in the arduous travel, there were still nearly 100 mules who died of exhaustion because of the non-stop rush, and even a few Longxi soldiers almost died of illness on the way.
Removing the chaff is nothing more than that.
Out of the last checkpoint leading to the outside world on Jiannan Road in Shuzhong, Guo Ye found a vacant land and ordered the Longxi army to set up camp and rest first, otherwise if you go on in such a hurry, even the iron man will not last long.
While setting up camp, he ordered Cheng Erniu to lead a few scouts to explore the road to see what the road ahead was like.
In ancient times, in addition to boats, bamboo rafts, and water transportation, were mules, war horses, and donkeys. And Guo Ye and his 3,000 Longxi army are all on their way with a pair of legs and feet.
Therefore, he must be even more careful to choose a good route, in case he goes wrong and goes the other way, it is not a simple and monotonous return.
Cheng Erniu led people to ride the only few horses in the army to explore the way, Guo Ye glanced back at the checkpoint leading to Jiannan Road in Shuzhong, and then glanced at the three thousand erlang who were camping, they were as tired as dogs, and shook their heads helplessly.
Heart, Li Taibai said that it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this is true, buddy has tasted the bitterness this time.
Several soldiers were busy nailing wooden stakes for Guo Ye and preparing to set up tarpaulin tents, while Kang Bao and the others were also camping under their own command.
Guo Ye picked up some hay and put it under his buttocks, and sat down with his feet sore, thinking about resting for a while.
At this time, Zhu Fatzi also ran forward with a greasy sweat stain on his face, and shouted at Guo Ye: "Little, little brother, it is impossible to rush again when you see this day." Fortunately, let's rest for a night before leaving, you see that the sons and daughters are too tired to look like adults, I will go down first and let the leaders prepare the stove and make a fire to make food, how about it? β
Guo Ye listened to what Zhu Fatzi said, and subconsciously looked at the sky, the sun obviously showed signs of setting in the west, and it was estimated that the night would come down after a little delay.
When he rushes at night, there is danger, not to mention, and he is not familiar with the terrain routes outside Shuzhong, it seems that it is safer to rush during the day than at night.
Just wanted to nod and say yes, suddenly Guan Jiu also ran from not far away, obviously heard Zhu Fatzi's suggestion just now, shook his head again and again to veto, and shouted: "Master Bingsi, don't do it, don't stop, you can't rest." β
"Huh?"
A nasal voice with doubts was made by Zhu Fatzi.
Guo Ye also looked at Guan Jiu and wanted to ask why.
Who knew that Zhu Fatzi had already crackled and fired at Guan Jiu, and scolded: "You stinky sour ding, do you know a ball?" You lie on the mule all the way and follow the army, of course, you don't know the hardships of walking on both feet. Look at us boys, how tired have we become? If you continue to rush day and night, something big will happen. β
Listening to Zhu Fatzi mention that he was lying on the mule all the way and walking with the army, Guan Jiu's old face turned red for no reason, and his heart suddenly felt a little lacking in confidence.
I'm ashamed, the old show who was powerless in Guan Shuban had just left Yizhou and almost fainted, but fortunately, Guo Ye was kind and loving, and directly let Zhu Fatzi vacate a mule loaded with grain and grass for him to ride, which has persisted until now.
Guan Jiujiu's face turned red, and he replied softly to Zhu Fatzi: "The surname is Zhu, I won't quarrel with you today." When students say this, there is naturally a reason for students. β
Then he said to Guo Ye: "Lord Bingsi, you said before that the war in Northern Xinjiang will end in a month or two. You see, it took us nearly half a month to get out of Shuzhong alone, so how long does it take to reach northern Xinjiang? Even if we reach the northern frontier, the war at this time must have reached a white-hot stage, or even the end stage, and the army of our court must now have penetrated deep into the Turkic hinterland. When we get to the northern frontier, how long will it take to go deeper into the Turkic hinterland? β
After speaking, he sighed and said, "If it is abandoned again, it will not be time for me!" \"
Guo Ye listened to Guan Jiujiu's words, and knew that he was not wrong at all, and the analysis was in place step by step, especially the Jieli Khan who he had been thinking about in his heart, and in a few months, he would flee to the Western Turks by taking the trail, if he did not set up an ambush and capture him while he was escaping, then his trip to the north would be in vain.
At that time, not only did he not get any credit, but he had not yet completed the task of entering Chang'an to offer treasures to Lu Chengqing, and he would definitely suffer a big loss in the end.
To put it simply, he returned in vain, without glory and protection, and when he returned to Yizhou, Lu Chengqing was able to spare himself?
Guo Ye was pondering, and after hearing Guan Jiujiu's analysis, Zhu Fatzi on the side also stopped preparing to criticize Guan Jiujiu, and secretly agreed with Guan Jiujiu's statement in his heart.
But......
Zhu Fatzi looked back at the three thousand tired teachers again, tangled!
Just as Guan Jiu's words caused the three of them to be silent, a sound of horses' hooves flying came from the front.
A total of seven or eight horsemen galloped towards this side quickly, and the people who came were Cheng Erniu and others who came back from exploring the way ahead.
Cheng Erniu rode his horse closer, turned over and dismounted, and waved his hand to let the other riders find another place to rest for a while.
Then he hugged his fist at Guo Ye and shouted: "Little brother, the road ahead has been discovered, I just looked for a few local woodcutters and asked them all over again, and we really got out of Shuzhong." Well, all the way forward is the road out of the river, but there are two forks about a mile away, I asked, both forks can lead to the north, but ......"
Guo Ye was not patient at this time, and asked directly, "But what?" β
Cheng Erniu scratched his head and said: "The two forks in the road, one leads to Shannan Road, from there to the north of Xinjiang, although the road is far, but the victory is all the way to the Tang border, obviously nothing; Another fork in the road leads to the Tibetan border, and if you go north along the Tibetan border, the journey to northern Xinjiang will be shortened by at least half. However, I heard that although this Tubo country has not started a war with my Tang Dynasty, it has not formed an alliance with my Tang Dynasty, so I am afraid that we will ......."
Tibetan?
Guo Ye's mind instantly came up with the name of a person, the king of Tubo over there, that is, Tubo Zampu, Songtsen Gampo.
This king of the Tibetan kingdom inherited the past and the future, and the most great achievement in the history of Tibet.
If I remember correctly, at this time, Songtsen Gampo had already inherited the position of his father Nangri Lunzan's Zampu, and was developing military forces in Tibet to quell rebellions in various places, and recuperating and low-key development.
Today's Tubo State has not established diplomatic relations with the Tang Dynasty, and has not formed an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, and it will not be sent to Chang'an to communicate relations until the eighth year of Zhenguan.
This Songtsen Gampo is also a true grandson, while sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty to communicate relations, he secretly communicated with the southern Nibora country, and secretly established an offensive and defensive alliance.
Until the twelfth year of Zhenguan, this dog day actually led the Tubo army to attack Songzhou on the border of the Tang Dynasty, which was really bold.
Li Shimin, the heavenly khan, was naturally furious, and immediately sent the general Hou Junji as the general of the Dangmi Road camp, the right leading general Zhi Sili as the general of the Bailan Road march, the left Wuwei general Niu Jinda as the general of the broad water road march, and the right leading general Liu Lan as the general of the Taohe Road march, led 50,000 cavalry to exterminate the Tubo army that invaded Songzhou.
The heroes of the Tang Dynasty naturally did not disappoint Emperor Li Shimin, and finally repelled the incoming enemy. He even asked Songtsen Gampo to return the occupied party items Bailanqiang and Qinghai areas, and sent an envoy to apologize.
However, on the surface, this dog day admits defeat, but in his heart he is still unconvinced, and the first-born person will never be reliable.
The grandson of Songtsen Gampo thought to himself, okay, since I can't defeat your Tang army, then I will harm your Tang princess, and by the way, I will cheat some gold, silver, treasures and some useful things from your Tang Dynasty.
Immediately, he not only obediently admitted his mistake to Li Shimin, but also sent an envoy to Chang'an to propose marriage very religiously, hoping that His Majesty the Heavenly Khan could marry a princess to him, so that the benevolence of the Tang Dynasty would be surrounded by the Quartet.
His Majesty Li Er didn't know which tendon was wrong, but he really agreed to Songtsen Gampo's request.
Princess Wencheng was married to him, which also has the allusion of Princess Wencheng's entry into Tibet and her relatives.
This is obviously an event that can wipe out the Tubo country, and His Majesty Li Er has played such a trick.
It not only opened a precedent for intermarriage between the Tang Dynasty and foreign peoples, but also raised tigers to fatten the white-eyed wolf of Tubo.
In the late Tang Dynasty, Tubo was strong and powerful, and repeatedly invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty and encroached on the land of the Tang Dynasty and cattle and horses.
There are no tricks, and the emperors of the late Tang Dynasty can only learn the tricks of their ancestors and continue to send princesses into Tibet, and they will be close to each other, and then to be close.
Strange to say, it was originally a matter that damaged the majesty of a great country, but it was described by some historians as a beautiful testimony of the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet.
Raising tigers is nothing more than that.
Thinking of this, Guo Ye also complained in his heart, His Majesty Li Er definitely took a big stupid move, which did not match his identity as a Ming Jun through the ages.
Take the South Mountain Road, far;
Take the Tibetan border, near;
Guo Ye weighed it, and at the same time looked at the sleeping sons and daughters who were lying on the ground with their feet facing the sky everywhere after camping.
Guan Jiujiu looked at Guo Ye's expression and actions, and knew that Guo Ye had a focus in his heart, so he still persuaded: "Lord Bingsi, if you go north on the Tibetan border, what if you encounter the cavalry of the Tubo people?" I heard that the Tubo people are notoriously cruel, often robbing horses, cattle and sheep and passing business travelers at the border, and from time to time they also attack our border towns in the Tang Dynasty. β
After Guan Jiu said this, Cheng Erniu gave him a blank look, and Zhu Fatzi snorted at him.
Guo Ye didn't look at him, but turned around and looked into the distance, and hummed rather disdainfully: "The Tubo people are cruel? Let's fight! Let's go to the north and dare to fight the Turks, paralyzed, if he Tubo people drive the tiger's mouth and whiskers, hehe, Lao Tzu will beat him until he screams pain and fears. β
Speaking of this, he showed off his confidence and said: "What kind of beating sex is in Tibet now, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know." β
Listening to Guo Ye's bold words, Guan Jiujiu already knew which way Guo Xiaoge was going to go north. , the home of reading! Unique URL:
