Chapter 41: Surrender without a Fight
Chapter 41 Surrender without a Fight
Li Changguo and Ge Shuhan, the two key figures, were not found, and they didn't need Guo Ziyi's orders, and Long Wujun also knew what to do, all of them used their strength to eat milk and dig desperately.
However, to their surprise, despite his hard work, he didn't dig up the two, and the hearts of the soldiers couldn't help sinking. Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Guangbi, and Li Sheng's faces were very ugly.
Although it was a cold day, Guo Ziyi's cold sweat seeped out like water, wiped a handful, and immediately seeped out again.
The soldiers gritted their teeth and dug desperately, and as time went by, their hearts couldn't help but sink.
"There's someone here!" Suddenly, a soldier of the Dragon Martial Army let out a cheer, and Guo Ziyi and the others rushed over like leopards, and they quickly dug it out.
I saw a big man covered in ice and snow and a face like gold paper, it was Ge Shuhan. At this time, Ge Shuhan is no longer alive, but dying, if it is a little more at night, maybe he will suffocate to death.
Although Ge Shuhan's breathing was weak, his heartbeat was still there, and everyone took a long breath and ordered someone to carry him back for treatment.
Li Changguo was left, Guo Ziyi's face was extremely ugly, but no one spoke, just digging.
Another half a day has passed, and Li Changguo is still missing, Guo Ziyi's face is already pale and bloodless. Everyone knows that after such a long time, Li Changguo has not been dug up, and it must be more than lucky.
Ge Shuhan was so strong, he was about to suffocate to death when he was dug up, and after half a day, Li Changguo would definitely die. If he doesn't die, it can only be a miracle.
You know, the biggest danger of being buried in ice and snow is not the cold, but the lack of air and the inability to breathe. There is no air, there is no way to breathe, and even if you are good at it, you can't resist it, and you have to die.
"This ......" Guo Ziyi, you look at me, I look at you, but no one can do anything.
"What should I do?" Li Bai wiped his tears and asked in a low voice. The sound is very small, like a gnat, if it weren't for Guo Ziyi's good ear sound, they wouldn't be able to hear it at all.
Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, and a group of Long Wujun were all wiping tears, but they were helpless.
Li Changguo is very popular with the military, especially in the Longwu Army, and his reputation is unparalleled, even Guo Ziyi's current reputation is not comparable to Li Changguo. There is no other reason, because Li Changguo is not only brave in battle, but also able to plan, and the Tang army can reach here, and Li Changguo has made great contributions.
The soldiers thought that Li Changguo would definitely die, who could not be sad?
"Ahh
Suddenly, a soldier of the Dragon Martial Army exclaimed, and a big hand stained with ice and snow poked out from the ice and snow.
"That's ...... Dig fast. Guo Ziyi and they hoped that this was Li Changguo, but everyone understood that this possibility was very small, and no one dared to have too much hope.
Everyone rushed up, digging with all hands and feet, and after a while, a head was exposed, and when they saw their faces clearly, who was not Li Changguo?
At this time, Li Changguo's face was a little pale and weak, but he was not suffocated, let alone a cold corpse as everyone imagined.
This was too unexpected, Guo Ziyi and the others looked at Li Changguo as if they were looking at monsters, and no one spoke.
"Poof!" Li Changguo exhaled a breath of turbidity, exhaled a few breaths of fresh air, and his spirit was greatly lifted, and he looked at everyone's surprised look in his eyes, and was very surprised: "What's wrong with you?" Don't recognize me? ”
"Is this true? Is it really a prison army? ”
"Overseer, why are you okay?"
"Yes! The marshal dug it out and was about to suffocate, the prison army was fine, what the hell is going on? ”
The soldiers began to talk nonsense.
"Oh!" Li Changguo suddenly understood, and suddenly said: "The biggest problem buried in the ice and snow is that you can't breathe, as long as you solve this problem, you can live for a long time." ”
"Warden, what is your magic method?" Everyone asked together, like thunder, and their eyes widened, staring at Li Changguo.
"Actually, this method is very simple, you can dig a snow hole in the standing place first, and you won't suffocate immediately. However, if you dig up little by little, if you are lucky, you will be able to dig it out. Lee Chang-kook explained to them.
"It's as simple as that?" And the people did not believe.
"yes." Li Changguo nodded heavily, very determined.
Everyone still didn't believe it, Guo Ziyi and Li Bai worked together, pulled Li Chang out, poked his head out, and took a good look at Li Changguo's position, as Li Changguo said, the place where he passed was a deep snow cave.
Li Changguo's approach seems to be subtle, but it is actually very simple. Because there is air in the snow and ice, if a hole is dug in the standing area, the air will accumulate in the hole.
Of course, if you don't move for a long time, the air will be depleted. Only by digging upwards can you get air and be more likely to dig yourself out.
Li Changguo is like this, digging little by little, digging out what he can do.
"Overseer, you're amazing!" The soldiers cheered, threw Li Changguo up, and left happily.
Back at the camp, Ge Shuhan had already recovered, but he was still a little weak, and when he saw Li Changguo coming back, he was very excited, and he asked for advice, and after listening to Li Changguo's explanation, he was greatly admired.
Li Changguo was really lucky to be able to dig himself out. If he is unlucky, digging and digging, and the ice and snow bury him again, he will have no hope of survival.
Counting the losses, there were more than 20 people in the Longwu Army who were buried by the ice and snow, hundreds of Mo knives were all lost, and all the sleeping bags in the cave were lost.
This loss is not the same thing as beating Bacho Pass, it can be said to be very slight.
The rest of the matter does not need to be said, and everyone knows how to do it, which is to clear a way to march, which can only be dealt with until the snow and ice are no longer falling.
This time the movement was so big that the ice and snow of the entire mountain collapsed, and the ice and snow kept falling downward, until two days later, it stopped, and the Tang army went out to clear the road on the broken ice.
It took half a day's work for the Tang army to clear a passage, and the Long Wu army passed through Baqiao Pass smoothly and rushed towards the next pass.
"The next level is the Discrete Pass, built between two mountain peaks. Both of these peaks have protruding blocks of ice, and if we do it again, we'll be able to knock down the discrete pass. Li Sheng was particularly shrewd this time, and took the lead in proposing a strategy to break the enemy: "Dashuai, I am the first to propose, this time I want to break the ice." ”
Baggio broke the ice, because he finally figured it out, without his share, he was very depressed. Now, he is the first to propose it, in order to break the ice.
"It's a good idea, but unfortunately, our Mo knife is almost gone." Ge Shuhan couldn't help but shake his head.
"This is easy to do, Modao we have a lot of Datang, just from Dafei Sichuan. It's a big deal, ten days and a half months in the evening. Li Sheng didn't care at all.
"Perhaps, this discrete barrier doesn't need to break the ice." Li Changguo raised his eyebrows.
"Don't break the ice? How to fight? Li Sheng was a little confused.
Li Changguo was about to speak, when he saw Li Yi flying horse coming, and shouted from afar: "The marshal, the prison army, the envoy of the scattered pass asks to see." ”
"Call him over." Ge Shuhan waved his hand, Li Yi took the order, and the flying horse galloped away.
After a while, a Tibetan man was surrounded by a circle of dragon warriors in the middle and galloped quickly.
When he came to the front, the Tubo Han Fei dismounted, and saluted Brother Shuhan and Li Changguo: "I have seen the marshal, I have seen the supervising army, I am the deputy general of the dispersal pass, Bage, and I came to visit the marshal and the supervising army on the order of Lord Wangdui." ”
"What's the matter?" Ge Shuhan raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.
"Dashuai, Lord Wangdui has heard of Dashuai heroes for a long time, and admires them very much, and is willing to serve Dashuai." Bagg spoke cautiously, his eyes on Geshuhan, without blinking, looking very carefully, for fear of missing a detail.
"Are you going to surrender to the Tang Dynasty?" Ge Shuhan asked calmly with an unwavering look.
"The Tibetan dog wants to surrender?" Long Wujun didn't have the concentration of Ge Shuhan, and shouted.
Who would have thought that the guards of the Discrete Pass were going to surrender, this thing was too unexpected, and Long Wujun was surprised.
"Yes, yes, surrender! Surrender! Bagh nodded hurriedly.
"What do you want?" Geshuhan asked again.
"Requirements? Don't dare, we're just a little bit of a request. Bagh's waist was bent ninety degrees, extremely respectful, and said: "We heard that the big commander broke through Baqiao Pass without blood, and our hearts were uneasy. Our Discrete Pass is built between two mountains, and there is a huge ice protruding from both peaks, as long as we get a piece of it, it is enough to bury the Discrete Pass ten times or eight times. ”
With the lesson of Baqiao Pass, Discrete Pass does not dare to be afraid.
"Lord Wangdui convened us to discuss, and we all thought that being an enemy of Datang was a dead end. If you give up the dispersion and go back, it is also a dead end, it is better to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. Bagge looked at Ge Shuhan with blank eyes and said, "We only have a small request, dare to ask the marshal to let us make meritorious contributions to the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Meritorious?" Ge Shuhan raised his eyebrows, like a sharp sword, extremely powerful.
Cold sweat broke out on Bag's forehead, and he hurriedly changed his words: "If the big handsome man is embarrassed, we just want to live." ”
Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo quickly exchanged a look, and said in a deep voice: "It depends on whether you really surrender to the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Sincerely, sincerely!" Bagh hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "There are many slaves in our army, and we have won the battle, and we have no credit. The hard work is ours, the credit is someone else's, who wants to do this kind of thing? Datang has no slaves, we have long longed for it, but we have never had the opportunity to work for Datang. Now, the opportunity has finally come, and we dare not fail to seize this rare opportunity. ”
Tibet was a slave system, while the Tang Dynasty was a feudal system, which had a fatal attraction for the slaves of the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty had personal freedom and property.
In Tibet, slaves were merely tools of their masters, with no personal freedom and no property. What's worse is that slaves have been slaves for generations.
"Datang has a broad mind, and many people in our army are not Han Chinese, but they are also rewarded for their meritorious service." Ge Shuhan pointed at his nose and said: "I am a Turkish, this General Li Guangbi is a Khitan, we serve the Tang Dynasty, and we are rewarded for our meritorious service." I have hundreds of thousands of troops. Your request is granted! ”
"Xie Dashuai!" Bagh fell to his knees and kowtowed heavily, grateful.
