A holy decree came down, and Guo Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, temporarily controlled the military affairs of the Xichuan Protectorate, and sent 3,000 Xichuan soldiers and horses to accompany him to some cities in Tuboluo, called Condolences to Tubo Zampu, which was actually to explore the truth of Tubo, and to respond to the general attack of Tubo by the Tang army.

At this time, the two cows and others in the middle of the hall were so excited that they were like boiling water in the pot and exploding the pot with a bang, and they took the initiative to invite them one after another, and they wanted to personally lead 3,000 soldiers and horses to accompany Guo Ye.

In addition to Zhu Fatzi, a money and grain steward who is not good at leading troops, Cheng Erniu, Tong Hu, and Zhao Jiuchou have asked for war and are not willing to be left behind.

Even the Tibetan Danzhu hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down in front of Guo Ye on one leg, clasped his fists and said: "Lord Guo, bring Danzhu, I and my three thousand Qingmiao army will definitely protect your lordship!" ”

This Tibetan boy is in Tuva City, and under the influence of Niu Tonghu and others, he now speaks Chinese very naturally.

Before Guo Ye could say anything, Tong Hu rolled up his sleeves and blew up the thorns, snorted coldly at Danzhu, and shouted: "Do you have a ball for the three thousand Qingmiao Army?" It's okay to charge the façade and guard the house, but where can the combat effectiveness of the wheel be compared with our Xichuan Army? You kid will honestly guard Ali Tucheng for Lao Tzu, don't want to go into Tibet with our little brother. ”

Syllable~

Tong Hu slammed the back of his head into the skull, and the person who shot it was his top boss Cheng Erniu.

I only heard Cheng Erniu's eyes like copper bells, and he launched a surge: "Tong Hu, I said that you kid is capable?" I Cheng Erniu haven't spoken yet, you kid is like a first? ”

After knocking on Tong Hu's madness, Cheng Erniu suddenly sneered at Guo Ye again: "What, brother-in-law, you can take me with you." We're a family, aren't we? If I give up this kind of thing to outsiders, where will I put my face? ”

"Ahem...... Erniu can't go! ”

Zhao Jiuchou coughed lightly twice and said, "As a small protector of Xichuan, you can't leave this place without permission, and you can't be without a person in charge here." ”

After listening to this, Guo Ye bowed his head slightly, and agreed: "Jiu Chou is right, Erniu should not leave the Xichuan Metropolitan Protectorate. Moreover, after arriving in Luoqi City, it is absolutely dangerous to control the capital of Tubo with 3,000 soldiers and horses, and you will lose your life and head at any time. In case you really come out of here, how can I explain to Xiaoman? You, just stay on the side of Tuva City honestly, and then send troops to Tibet with the army of the British Duke Li Ji. ”

Cheng Erniu was completely speechless, pouting his lips and feeling very angry in his heart, saying that there is a difference between relatives and relatives, why is this a family still more restrained?

In desperation, he had no choice but to stop and sit back in place with his head down.

Seeing that Cheng Erniu was not playing, Tong Hu and Danzhu immediately looked excited, and looked at Guo Ye with blank eyes. It's like the concubines in the palace waiting for the emperor to flop the cards, that's called a longing for wear.

"Ahem......"

Zhao Jiuchou coughed twice more, and asked Guo Ye: "Little brother, I think that in the original defense of Golmud City, the Yellow River Gang Scar Liu and other brothers were all wiped out, and no one survived. Whenever I dream back in the middle of the night, I can't sleep at night, and I can often hear the fallen brothers crying in my ear, why, why don't you help us to avenge, why do you ......"

Zhao Jiuchou rolled his lips and muttered to himself, his face was pale and very scary.

Guo Ye knew that the death of the Yellow River Gang's scar Liu and others had always been Zhao Jiuchou's heart disease. So much so that Zhao Jiuchou is now recovering well, but there has always been a demon in his heart, tormenting him from time to time.

He knew very well that if he wanted to break Zhao Jiuchou's demonic barrier, he had to take him into Tubo again, so that he could kill the Tubo people again.

Otherwise, Zhao Jiuchou will never be able to get out of the magic barrier, even if his body recovers as before, but there is that obsession in his heart that cannot be eliminated, which is equivalent to a wasted person.

Guo Ye sighed secretly and asked, "Nine ugly, the little brother knows that your body is recovering well, and I can also promise you to let you command 3,000 troops into Tibet." But your hands ......"

He found that Zhao Jiuchou had been hanging straight on his left arm since he entered the hall of the General's Mansion, and he had never raised it as if he had not obeyed the call.

As soon as Guo Ye's words came out, Zhao Jiuchou's face instantly darkened, and Cheng Erniu, Tong Hu and others suddenly showed a little sympathy on their faces.

Soon, Zhao Jiuchou shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Last time, I picked up a life in my life, and the arrow wounds on my body were healed, but the muscles and veins of my left wrist were cut off by the Tubo people, and it was wasted!" But—"

While speaking, Zhao Jiuchou shook his right hand vigorously, and said loudly: "But the right arm is fine, and I am good at holding a knife in my right arm, and it is not a big deal if my left arm is wasted, and it will definitely not affect the big knife on horseback." Little brother, don't worry, I will never cause you a burden! ”

After Guo Ye listened to the words, tears had already wet his clothes, and he gently punched him in the chest, and scolded: "You paranoid stupid man, why are you so tough? ”

Zhao Jiuchou smiled disappreciatively: "It's better to be tough than staying in Tuva City every day and being a living dead, right?" Little brother, you will fulfill me this time, right? ”

Guo Ye smiled bitterly: "You've talked about this, can I still fulfill you?" ”

"Thank you, little brother, I, Zhao Jiuchou, can finally avenge my brothers."

After speaking, the gloom between Zhao Jiu's ugly eyebrows gradually dissipated, and he sat back in his chair.

Guo Ye gently pulled up his sleeves and wiped the tears from his eyes, then pointed at Danzhu and said: "This time in Tubo, Zhao Jiuchou will lead three thousand Xichuan soldiers and horses, Danzhu, you will hand over five thousand Qingmiao troops to Tong Hu, and then accompany me." When I enter the city of Luo, I also need to have someone by my side who understands the Tibetan dialect. ”

The peak turned around, Danzhu was naturally overjoyed, and nodded yes again and again, which made Tong Hu next to him envious, jealous and hateful.

Guo Ye glanced at Tong Hu and Cheng Erniu, and said: "Don't be discouraged, in a few days, the British Duke Li Jihui will lead an army of 100,000 troops to be stationed on the border between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty. ”

The two of them looked a little better and nodded yes.

Then, Guo Ye was a little tired because of the fast horses coming all the way, so he yawned twice in a row, and then waved his hand to the few people present and said: "It's all gone, I will rest in Tuva City for two days before entering Tibet." Erniu, let's go, take me to your house to rest, I want to see Xiaoman, this girl, and my eldest nephew, since the last time you went back to your mother's house in Longxi, it is estimated that you have grown strong again, right? ”

"Aang? Hahaha, yes. ”

As soon as Cheng Erniu heard Guo Ye mention the child, he immediately came to his senses, and said with a satisfied smile: "This kid looks strong like a yak, this is like me, and he may also be a good embryo to lead troops to fight in the future." Brother-in-law, let's go, let Xiaoman fry two dishes, let's drink some. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled Guo Ye out of the lobby, and then out of the General's Mansion and ran towards his mansion in Tuva City

Two days later, the elite of the 3,000 Xichuan Army was selected, led by Zhao Jiuchou and Danzhu, and slowly pulled out of Tuva City.

Guo Ye, escorted by Cheng Erniu and Tong Hu, and reluctantly reluctantly rode out of Tuva City under the reluctance of his sister Guo Xiaoman and his eldest nephew.

Soon, the troops walked out of the jurisdiction of the Xichuan Metropolitan Protectorate and entered the border of Tibet.

When he set foot on the land of Tibet for the first time, the feeling was incomparable, the enemy's land was under his feet, and in the near future, this enemy's land would become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

He sat on his horse, the crimson tail swinging in the wind and hunting, the kind of pride that arose spontaneously, and the feeling of leading the troops into Tibet before was completely different.

Of course, it is also completely different from the last time when he led 3,000 lonely brigades into the hinterland of Tibet, attacked the city and captured the wall, and defended Golmud City alone.

This time, he was ordered to lead the army to come as a secretary of the Ministry of Rites and an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, instead of the Tang Emperor to come to mourn Songtsen Gampo.

This time, he no longer had to be sneaky, but above board, he not only let people play the banner of the Tang envoys, but also erected the Tang Dragon Flag in front of him.

The momentum is huge, the momentum is mighty......

At dusk, the sky is getting dusk, when the three thousand soldiers and horses marched to the territory of the original Samba head, Guo Ye ordered Zhao Jiuchou to order to set up camp, Guo Ye is here tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning.

As soon as Zhao Jiuchou gave the order, the three thousand Xichuan troops ordered the ban and took action one after another, and after a while, the camp composed of nearly fifty tents was erected.

Guo Ye was resting his feet in the camp tent while drinking freshly boiled hot water, when suddenly a voice came from outside the camp tent, it turned out to be Danzhu who was in charge of taking the scout team to scout in front.

After Guo Ye called him in, he motioned for Danzhu to sit down and drink saliva, and then asked, "Danzhu, how is the road in front?" If I remember correctly, another hundred miles should be the area of Golmud City, right? ”

Danzhu took two sips of water and wiped his lips, got up and reported: "My lord, something is wrong with the situation, a temporary sentry post suddenly appeared fifty miles away, about a few hundred people, and the number on their banner should be the Tubo defenders of Golmud City." Looking at their posture, it doesn't look like they came to welcome the envoys of the Tang Dynasty to the Tibetan State. ”

"Huh? Danzhu, what exactly did you investigate, tell me about ......"
