Songtsan Gampo's abacus was clear, and borrowing troops could get the benefits of the Tang Dynasty, so he readily agreed, and tried to borrow 50,000 troops and prepare grain and grass.

The princess of Tubo was very angry, Songtsen Gampo went to the Tang Dynasty to ask for relatives before, but was refused, she thought that praise Gampo would stop, but she didn't expect that there would be a stubble of borrowing soldiers.

When Datang finishes the war, he will definitely be grateful for the friendship of Tibet, and when Songtsen Gampo mentions peace again, Datang will have no reason to refuse, and he will definitely agree.

Send 50,000 troops and bring your own food and grass, how much does it cost!

"Ganbu, you can't borrow soldiers, what if the Tang Dynasty uses our soldiers to bite us back?" The princess of Tubo persuaded that although her mother's home Nepal was indeed not good for her husband, she did not want to occupy Tubo, but she just got some benefits from Tubo every year.

Songtsen Ganbu smiled and said, "How can the princess say that? Datang is the Khan of the sky, the territory is vast, the people are rich, and now Datang needs the help of my Tubo, how can this king stand by and watch. Once we don't help Datang this time, then Datang will not take care of Tubo in the future. This king is doing this for the sake of the country's society, and the princess should not say it again. ”

Joke, these soldiers are Tibetan soldiers, and the generals are also Tibetan generals, they will not bite back on Tibet; Besides, that bit of grain and grass is not worth much, and Nepal loots it every year, but there is more than that. Instead of feeding an immature wolf, it is better to take it out and feed the tiger. The tiger was in a happy mood and helped him fight the wolves.

The princess of Tubo couldn't persuade her, so she hurriedly wrote a letter to her mother's family to find a countermeasure.

Three days later, 50,000 Tibetan soldiers under the leadership of the Tibetan general Zaha and Cheng Yanjin, and Li Ji's 5,000 light cavalry met and the army marched.

"Don't say it. This time it was really smooth, not only did I borrow soldiers, but people also brought their own grain and grass, which is commendable! But isn't Songtsen Gampo a little silly? Cheng Yanjin sighed, this Tubo dry cloth is not bad, he is a good junior.

When Li Ji heard this, he shook his head and said, "Hehe, don't underestimate anyone, this Songtsen Gampo is smart!" Originally, when he borrowed soldiers, when he asked for relatives in Tibet. Datang agreed. However, the people brought their own grain and grass, and after the battle, the captives were already cattle and sheep, and if they did not give some to Tibet. People in the world will think that our Datang is too mean. Besides, divide the spoils. You can't just buy the amount of grain and grass for other people. It must be doubled. ”

"Oh, it turns out that he had this idea, this kid, monkey spirit, monkey spirit." Cheng Yanjin scolded with a smile, "I didn't see it, I looked honest." The brain is so active. ”

"He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, gradually unified the divided Tibet, and created the Tibetan script, subduing most of the domestic forces. Can such a person be a fool? Li Ji chuckled disdainfully, if he didn't want Cheng Yanjin to come over and make a black face, he really didn't want to return this guy to the same road.

But whether it is such a person, whether the Cheng Jin-biting family comes out to fight or holds military power in Beijing, His Majesty does not doubt it.

"It's also true, there is still some blood to come out after all. It doesn't matter if the cattle and sheep are given to them, the captives are ours, and in the future, they will go to labor reform, build bridges, open up wasteland and pave roads. Cheng Yanjin understands that the population is urgently needed in Datang now.

"You're right. The military report has already been sent, and after His Majesty receives it, it is estimated that this will be arranged. Li Ji said in a deep voice.

Liu Muxiang took care of Changsun Chong very comprehensively, which was much more comfortable than the last time he sent troops to fight.

"Young Master, why do you say this Tuguhun is anti-Datang? Isn't our Datang treating them badly? Liu Muxiang asked.

Although Liu Muxiang's martial arts are very high, he is slightly deficient in some strategies.

The eldest grandson Chong drank a cup of tea brought by Liu Muxiang, and said comfortably: "In the final analysis, it is still a relationship of interest. Fu Yun followed the strategy of his retainer King Tianzhu and attacked Tang Kuo and Lanzhou, threatening the Hexi Corridor, the throat of Tang to the Western Regions. There are countless caravans traveling between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions every year, and as long as you control this place, you control the transportation hub, obtain a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, and the fertile land there. His Majesty had sent a lot of captives to open up the wasteland before, and it had become very prosperous. However, the Hexi Corridor is very important to the Tang Dynasty and cannot be occupied by Tuguhun. Someone choking the throat, such a thing must not happen. ”

"Oh, I see, I think this time the army is no smaller than the last attack on the Eastern Turks." Liu Muxiang said with emotion.

Changsun Chong nodded and said: "Tuyuhun is also quite cunning, he has been sent before, Duan Zhixuan, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, led the army to attack, and Tuyuhun fled with the crowd and did not disperse its main force. However, it is not useless, at least it has accelerated the internal division of Tugu Hun Tu. Winter came, and they returned to their nature of looting, the Liangzhou crisis. His Majesty had to give the order again for a major attack. After several concurrent battles, His Majesty still used Li Jing, the right servant who was known as the undefeated god of war, as the general manager of the Xihai Road march, and commanded the military department Shangshu Hou Junji, the criminal department Shangshu Li Daozong, the Liangzhou governor Li Daliang, the Minzhou governor Li Daoyan, the Lizhou assassin Shi Gao Yongsheng and other military commanders and the Eastern Turks and the Khotchi □He Li and other armies that returned to the Tang Dynasty to attack Tuyuhun. ”

"That's a lot of money!" Liu Muxiang sighed.

"Hehe, that's not all, we also borrowed troops from Tubo, and when the time came, we just intercepted the Tuyuhun soldiers who fled west and south, Tuyuhun is in a catastrophe this time." The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, this Li Er is actually quite ruthless, either he doesn't fight, and he will hit seven inches in one hit.

Liu Muxiang listened, nodded and said, "Young Master, we have to pass through a desert ahead, we have to be more careful." ”

Changsun Chong nodded and said: "The desert is indeed quite scary, without water, it is equivalent to death." Pack more water, preferably three hydration bladders for each person. ”

"Since you have a big bucket, you don't need to put so much water on your body, right?" Willow wood incense questioned.

Eldest Sun Chong shook his head and said, "In case we encounter wind and sand in the desert and the water tank is damaged, then the water in the water bag is our life-saving water!" ”

"Well, think about what you said before, be prepared." The willow wood incense goes down to let people get more talk.

Some of the soldiers were still puzzled and did more, but under Liu Muxiang's strict requirements, they had no choice but to do so.

Changsun Chong asked people to adjust the guide car, prepare everything, and asked Hua Wu, the recent weather, whether there are sandstorms, tornadoes or something.

Hua Wu replied: "This route, there has been no strong wind in the past five days, so you can move forward with confidence." ”

On the first day of entering the desert, Changsun Chong always had a feeling of anxiety in his heart, and he checked it from beginning to end with willow wood incense, and found no problems, so he went back to rest.

The next day, he had been on the road for a whole day, but he realized that the angle of the sun was not right today. Eldest Sun Chong immediately understood that the position of the sun would not change, only the route of their march would change.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, the eldest grandson rushed to inspect the guide car, and actually found some fine black powder in the gap of the guide car.

What is this thing and why is it glued to the guide car.

Changsun Chong pinched some of it, and the powder sprinkled out of his fingers stuck back to the guide car.

"Where's the powder?" The eldest grandson was angry, no wonder he felt that the path was a little wrong, the guide car was left and right by magnetic powder, where could he still point in the right direction.

Liu Muxiang saw that the eldest grandson Chong's expression was wrong, and said, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Be quiet, we're going in the wrong direction, and we've got hands and feet in our guide car." Changsun Chong said softly, yesterday was fine, but today is not right, then there is definitely a mole in this team.

Liu Muxiang was a little afraid, and whispered: "Xianggong, I see that someone is misleading us in the direction, not only because they want us to lead us elsewhere, maybe there is already an ambush behind us." ”

Changsun Chong also thought so, nodded and said, "You go to the front first and think of a way." ”

When the willow wood incense passed, Changsun Chong hurriedly called for the apocalyptic space, but he couldn't practice Hua Wu. The eldest grandson is in a hurry, what should he do now?

Look at the sky, decide to stay put.

There are still three days to go, what to do?

"Mu Xiang, we are going in the wrong direction, we should be farther and farther away from our destination." Changsun Chong said affirmatively, and the worry in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Liu Muxiang was cold for a moment and said, "Xianggong, now I quickly ask someone to fill the water in the sleeping bag." This person can do things on the guide car without knowing it, so it is not difficult to get close to the water source. ”

"Well, what you're saying is, hurry up!" Eldest Sun Chong was anxious, how could he not be able to contact the apocalyptic space when he entered the desert!

Liu Muxiang arranged for people to fill water, ate dry food, and rested next to the camel.

Changsun Chong contacted the apocalyptic space again, and fortunately this time he contacted Hua Wu.

"Fifth Brother Hua, our guide car has been tampered with, can you help me think of a way to change it to the right direction without alarming the mole?" The eldest grandson asked anxiously.

Hua Wuyi was shocked and said: "It's weird, it's really a lot wrong." In this direction, tomorrow afternoon, you will encounter a sandstorm. ”

Changsun Chong was so frightened that he was covered in sweat, fortunately he contacted Hua Wu, if he really encountered a sandstorm, it didn't matter if he encountered a sandstorm, the grain and grass were gone, and the army on the front line had no food, and Changsun Chong would not be able to atone for his sins when he died.

"Fifth Brother Hua, think of a way, I can't contact you during the day." The eldest grandson said anxiously, in this vast desert, he didn't know what to do.

Hua Wu thought for a while and said, "I'll get you some more magnetic powder and put it on top of the guide car, it won't change at the current angle, but it can take you to the right route." ”

"Then please, give it to me quickly." Changsun Chong said.

"It's better for me to get it directly, there is a traitor among you, and if you go, you will only startle the snake." Hua Wu suggested that this time it was the safest way. (To be continued......)
