Pegasus is fast and urgent, and on the silent wild road, a horse is speeding at full speed on the land of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He was the messenger of Songtsen Gampo, who was ordered to rush to the Tibetan capital to report the news.

The military horses of Tubo are inferior to the military horses of the Tang Dynasty on the whole, but after all, they are a country, a hegemon of one side, and a few thousand miles of horses can still be taken out. In order to allow the messenger to catch up with the Tang army, Songtsen Gampo specially lent his mount to the messenger and let him travel.

Songtsen Gampo's mount is a good horse purchased from the depths of the steppe, and has the ability to travel thousands of miles a day.

The messenger rode it, day and night, without stopping, and finally caught up with it from the rear when the Tang army was about to arrive at Latche.

Xue Rengui and Luo Tong are both generals who know the art of war, and they also know the truth of the speed of soldiers. But they were still a step slower, not because they were delayed on the way, but because they were dragged down by the army.

No matter how brave and elite an army of 20,000 is, it is impossible to be as fast and agile as a person, and no matter how fast the speed is, it is limited. And the messenger rode alone, without worry, and naturally he was better than others, and arrived first.

The messenger held the royal decree of Songtsen Gampo, that is, to keep the defenders on the back burner, to strengthen the city's defenses, and to ensure that the Logos were not lost until the army returned.

Songtsen Gampo is like a god-like existence in Tibet, and has this high prestige.

As soon as the defender was appointed, he did not hesitate to strengthen the defense and consolidate the city's defenses as Songtsen Gampo had appointed.

When Xue Rengui and Luo Tong arrived at the city of Luo, they were already facing a fortified city that had been fully prepared for defense.

Throughout the ages, siege has been a matter of last resort, which can maximize the gap in casualties.

Xue Rengui and Luo Tong saw that the defenders had made sufficient preparations, and they also dispelled the idea of attacking for a while. They came all the way at a rapid pace, consuming too much physical strength, and naturally they were able to gain some advantage against a completely defenseless enemy, but when they encountered an enemy who was full of spirit, they lost a chip, and it was not a wise decision to attack.

However, the two generals strictly obeyed Du He's orders, that is, they rested and recuperated, and they also went in batches. One part rested, the other part cut down trees, and made siege equipment on the spot, intending to storm the city at the right time.

The defender of the Tibetan capital city was the Tibetan general Dayan, who had served the Tibetans before Songtsen Gampo was born, and he had been the same for forty years. He may not be the most talented, but he is definitely the most loyal. It is also because of this that Songtsen Gampo is relieved to entrust his lifeblood to one person.

Dayan's greatest strength is that he is steady and loyal, but obeys, since he got the order, he has not returned home, lived in the city tower, and patrolled several times a day, but he was worried that the inferior people would disobey the yang and yin, and ruin their big affairs, so that the Tang army would have a chance.

The structure of the city is very special, which is closely related to the development of Tibet. Most of the growth of Tibet today is due to the character of Songtsen Gampo and all rivers. He doesn't have any old ideas, he learns whatever is good.

Even the construction of the royal city is the same, and well-known architects from the East and the West were invited to study it together. In other words, the capital city was built by the architects of the East and the West, and has the characteristics of each other's identity. The walls of the east are thick and strong, while the walls of the west are tall and towering, like castles. Therefore, the outer walls of the city have the characteristics of both thick and strong, as well as high.

Standing on the battlements, with the characteristics of the vast and sparsely populated Tubo land, you can see the situation clearly within a radius of several miles.

Dayan looked down on the battlements, seeing that the Tang army was really preparing siege equipment, and had the intention of attacking the city, he did not dare to be careless, and strengthened the defense again.

As the capital of Tibet, the biggest feature of the city is miscellaneous.

This is because of Songtsen Gampo's original policy, Songtsen Gampo destroyed dozens of countries, and in order to promote development, the people of all countries gathered in one place.

As the capital of Tibet, Luo has gathered more than a dozen people from the destroyed countries, plus capable people from all over the world who came to look for opportunities, this is almost the second Chang'an, and everyone has it.

In the midst of this inconspicuous crowd, there is a group of people who are distributed on various streets, walking through the streets. They seemed to be shopping, but their eyes kept looking at the situation around them. If someone notices them, there is a good chance that they will think that they are thieves stepping on the plate.

It wasn't until the evening that they would come from different places, different routes, to a remote and inconspicuous house, and get together.

This group of people is Du He's killer secret weapon, and they have helped him many times.

The right-hand man under the command of Du He, who is in charge, Huangfu Haohua.

With the growth of time, Huangfu Haohua, who is gradually entering the prime of life, has become more and more stable, and has been able to take charge of himself and become the spokesperson of Duhe.

In the hall of the house, the moon and the incense gathered in one place, they revealed their current sights and hears in detail, every alley, every street, every detail was carefully recounted, and then depicted by people who are proficient in painting one by one.

After nearly 10 days of hard work by more than 300 people, a floor plan containing the streets and alleys of the city is about to take shape.

Huangfu Haohua looked at the floor plan in front of him, thinking about how to complete the task given to him by Du He, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Qin Yu hasn't come back yet?" ”

"It's coming!" As soon as his words fell, Qin Yu briskly broke into the house, and after years of practice, his light skills also reached a certain level, even when he came to the door, no one noticed his arrival.

Huangfu Haohua asked, "How is it, how is the defense?" ”

Qin Yu smiled lightly and said, "They have focused their attention on dealing with the two generals, Luo and Xue, and their internal defenses are very poor. I can come and go as I please...... As for you, there are some suspense, but with me leading the way, there will be no problems. ”

Huangfu Haohua didn't answer immediately, pondered for a long time, and then said: "We have two mission goals, but you have only one, and you have no skills. The mission cannot be completed. Solving one is no different from not solving it. ”

Qin Yu said: "I have calculated, it is impossible to solve it on both sides at the same time, but we can come one by one and use the chaos between each other to complete the task." ”

Happy Liquor is a small and inconspicuous liquor shop located in the corner of Chang'an, similar to this kind of liquor shop in the giant city that can accommodate millions of people.

In the far corner of the liquor shop sat an alien merchant, dressed in black, not tall, very strong and strong. The seat he is in can read the entire wine shop, and every move in the wine shop can be clearly observed.

There are countless foreign traders in Chang'an, and the bartenders and drinkers in the liquor store are also taken for granted by his presence.

Only the shopkeeper who was gossiping about good things faintly saw that this alien was objectively waiting for someone, and his eyes looked out of the door from time to time.

The alien trader named Shen Bo is a leather merchant with an innocent family, but in fact, he has another layer of identity, a secret agent in Tubo, who transmits the movements of Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty back to Tubo through various channels.

Now that Tang Tu is fighting, the burden on Shen Bo's body is ten times heavier than before. As an agent, the first need is loyalty.

Shen Bo's loyalty to Tubo is beyond doubt. It was also the same, this time made him gray hair. He has been living in Chang'an for three years, and what he has seen and heard in these three years has made him, a hillbilly from the countryside, see what it means to be truly strong.

The strength of the Tang Dynasty was able to dominate the world, and there was an overwhelming advantage over Tibet.

From the very beginning, Shen Bo felt that the chances of Tubo winning this battle were not very good, so he hoped to do his best to help Tubo win this battle and save Tubo from the danger of destroying the country.

However, the Tang Army's secrecy organization was extremely strict, leaving no loopholes to follow at all, and seeing that time was gradually passing, Tubo could be defeated anytime and anywhere. Shen Bo's heart was extremely anxious until a person appeared.

Wu Yuanqing, a degraded grandfather. He found him, not only revealed his identity, but also told him that he had the most confidential military intelligence of the Tang Army.

Shen Bo was moved, he still maintained a certain degree of vigilance at that time, sent someone to investigate Wu Yuanqing, learned about the grievances between Wu Yuanqing and Du He and Wu Meiniang's generals, and learned about the relationship between Wu Yuanqing and the eldest grandson Shunde, and was already relieved.

With the passage of time, Tibet may be defeated at any time.

Shen Bo couldn't sit still, and when he was in a hurry, he finally asked Wu Yuanqing to come to the wine shop to see if there was any crucial news.

He didn't wait for Wu Yuanqing's arrival, and Shen Bo's heart was very uneasy.

At this moment, a person walked into the wine shop, Shen Bo's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to signal that someone was here.

Shi Weigong, who pretended to be Wu Yuanqing, won with a smile.

"I'm sorry, this place is hard to find, and I've been delayed for a while......" Shi Weigong greeted warmly like an old friend.

"How's it going?" He sat down and said straight to the point: "I believe you have almost investigated in the past few days, and you should know about my grievances with Du He." And what you don't know, the reason why I lost the title of Duke of the Kingdom is also because of Du He, the eventful princess and lady of Du He, she said in front of His Majesty that I am not, which made me from a high-ranking prince to a common man who is nothing. I have a deep enmity with him, and you should believe me......"

Shen Bo filled Wu Yuanqing with a glass and said, "This cup is my wine of atonement, I really shouldn't be suspicious." I came to you today to discuss cooperation. You don't want Duhe to win, you want him to be punished. And I don't want my country to perish. The purpose is different, but the goal is the same...... We were able to be friends. ”

Shi Weigong drank all the wine in the cup and said in a low voice: "That's a good point, but this brother still settles accounts." My message came from an extraordinary source, and you have to express it anyway. ”

Wu Yuanqing is greedy for money, and if he doesn't show this, it will lead to suspicion.

Shen Bo was disdainful in his heart, but the suspicion that existed also dissipated.

"I know the Tang Army's grain transportation routes, and I also know their approximate time......" Shi Weigong whispered softly.
