A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

Songzhou City sounded the horn of attack, the Tubo people suddenly turned their faces, through the outside should be combined with the inside, and captured Songzhou City, but the iron hooves of Tubo did not stop there, the Tang Dynasty set up in the west of the special training to adapt to the plateau operations of the three battalions: the Broken Battalion, the Shenfeng Battalion, the Ruijin Battalion, the three camps were first attacked by the Tubo elite, the war horses were galloping, the swords were waving, the people were shouting and the blood was burning, the arrows and the sea holly were also sandwiched in it, the western border of the Tang Dynasty was like a purgatory on earth, full of massacres, looting, rape and resistance, For a while, the fire soared into the sky, and the blood flowed like a river.

The people of the Tang Dynasty, who were immersed in the atmosphere of peace, never expected that the Tubo people, who were still kind and humble just now, would change into a hideous face in the blink of an eye, and also pulled out a butcher's knife. Didn't the civil strife in Tibet just end?

Unfortunately, they collapsed in a pool of blood and could never find an answer

Liu Yuan was wearing a scarlet official uniform, carrying a horizontal knife inlaid with seven-colored gems on his waist, his hair was combed in the slightest, and he was smeared with a little oil, riding a high-headed horse, carrying a private guard, and walking in front of the team to welcome his relatives in high spirits, and behind him was a team of guards in fresh clothes and angry armor, in addition to Zhou Shishi, the head of the household, who was also in a carriage, sandwiched in the middle of the team, for him, it had passed the years of riding a horse.

The years are unforgiving.

"General, how long is this trip?" Guan Yongce immediately stepped forward and asked curiously.

"There's still one day to go, at noon tomorrow at the latest, we can have a good meal in the restaurant in Songzhou City." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

Guan Yong said with a smile: "General, brothers have worked hard all the way, don't be stingy with money and silver when the time comes." This is a great thing for you, and you can't save this meal of wine and food. ”

"A meal? How many meals have you eaten along the way? Okay, you can order any food, you can eat as much good wine as you want, and if you frown, you won't be a hero, but. Liu Yuan's words changed, and he said with a smile: "Originally, I will only cover food and accommodation, and you will find a woman to spend the night happily and solve it yourself." ”

"Hey, hey. This naturally did not dare to let the general break the bank. ”

Liu Yuan frowned suddenly, stretched out his hand to pick up a small piece of fluttering things in the air, and gently rubbed it with his hand to turn it into powder, that's right. These are the ashes left over from the firewood fire, so much in the sky. There must have been a big fire or wildfire sometimes. That's why there's so much wood ash flying.

"Hey, Guan Yong, look, where is the mountain ash burning?"

Guan Yong also noticed this situation, but he said a little disapprovingly: "It's dry in autumn now." It's not uncommon to go fire, general, let's hurry as soon as possible, listen to what Brother Zhao said. The Tibetan princess is as beautiful as a flower, like a fairy, and she wants to see it with her own eyes early in the morning. ”

These "long-tongued women", Liu Yuan said with some prevarication: "That, let's see the wisdom." ”

"By the way, General, I heard that this Tubo princess has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she can pull a two-stone strong bow, and her martial arts are also extraordinary, General, how did you tame this Tubo horse? Aren't you afraid that she will resist halfway? ：”

"What are you afraid of, bundle" Halfway through speaking, Liu Yuan suddenly found out that he had fallen for Guan Yong, immediately stopped talking, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door of his head, and said warningly: "When did you gossip like a woman, okay, hurry." ”

"Yes, General."

As soon as Guan Yong left, Liu Yuan couldn't help but think of the Zanmeng Saima Galai, who was known as the most beautiful flower on the plateau, this unique woman, she and she were still mortal enemies last year, and she was his own prisoner and bargaining chip, but he didn't expect that now he was going to marry her, it was ridiculous to think about it, now Tufan, internal and external troubles, Songtsen Gampo that kid must be very anxious, he needs a time to lick his wounds and a strong ally, he really deserves to be a generation master, marrying his sister to the person who raped her, so he really did it.

I don't know what happened to the woman with a resolute personality at the beginning.

Just as Liu Yuan was thinking, a person from the Ministry of Etiquette rode up: "General Liu, it's time to learn etiquette, Lord Shangshu is invited." ”

Liu Yuan said with a bitter face: "Yes, I'll go right away." ”

The other party is the noble princess of Tubo, although Li Er doesn't have to go, but he can't be lazy, Li Er sent Zhou Shishi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to greet him on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Shishi is a strict old man, the old man is also bored on the way, and he takes the matter of teaching Liu Yuan etiquette on his body, and personally teaches Liu Yuan in the carriage, in this way, Liu Yuan is miserable, and he has to accept the guidance of half an hour to an hour every day, Liu Yuan doesn't know how many times he has slandered this strange old man, obviously it is to pick up one person, how simple, as for so many etiquette? Not only the movements must be standardized, but even the expressions must be in place, oh my God, is this a performance? I don't want to be the actor.

Besides, Tubo is a barbarian state, how can there be so many etiquette, Liu Yuan feels that this is a bit like playing the piano to a cow, wasting expressions, maybe they treat themselves as monkeys.

"Urgent, urgent, get out of the way, get out of the way!" Just when Liu Yuan just wanted to turn the horse's head and go to Zhou Shishi's luxurious carriage for training, he didn't expect to see a post station person galloping towards him from a distance, holding two red flags embroidered with the word "urgent", signaling everyone to give way.

Eight hundred miles of express service!

Liu Yuan's heart sank, and he immediately had a feeling in his heart: It's not good, something big happened at the border.

"Quick, what are you doing, get out of the way." Liu Yuan roared loudly, telling his subordinates to immediately get out of the way and let the stagecoach pass.

Eight hundred miles is urgent, everyone has to retreat and give way, and those who violate the order will be decided, and Rao is Liu Yuan will not dare to slack off.

After the stagecoach passed, Guan Yong said with a solemn face: "General, what happened so seriously that he actually dispatched an eight-hundred-mile express report?" ”

Liu Yuan looked at the mountain ash fluttering in the world, and said with a solemn face: "If I didn't guess, it must have something to do with Tubo, but don't worry, we have pioneers in front, and it is estimated that there will be news back in a while." ”

If it is a fire or a mountain fire, the local thorn history can be dealt with, no need to alarm the imperial court, now dispatch eight hundred miles to expedit, nine times out of ten is the border problem, and Songzhou borders only Tubo, and now Tubo escorts Zanmeng Saima Karma to the Tang Dynasty, if it is said to be friction, it is also the greatest probability.

Suddenly, the wolf's ears moved, and then he said affirmatively, "They're back." ”

Not long after the wolf had spoken, the crowd heard the anxious sound of horses' hooves, and when they looked up, they saw only two soldiers galloping towards them with a man dressed as soldiers.

"General, it's not good, something big has happened." As soon as the two pioneers walked in front of Liu Yuan, they knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"What's the matter?"

One of them said angrily: "The Tubo people suddenly turned their faces and captured Songzhou City." ”

"What? The Tibetans captured the city of Songzhou? Liu Yuan didn't say anything yet, and Zhou Shishi, who got out of the carriage when he heard the news, screamed.

Liu Yuan said coldly: "What the hell is going on, say it quickly." ”

"General, this person is a fire chief who guards the city of Songzhou, his name is Qin Wu, he knows this matter best, don't let him talk about it."

"Qin Wu, you say, what's going on? Say whatever you want, and never hide anything. Liu Yuan shouted.

Qin Wu, who escaped death, knelt on the ground, and said again and again, fortunately, he was a soldier, and his courage was much greater than that of ordinary people, and after calming down a little, he said 1510 of his knowledge: "General Liu and the Tubo princess are close to each other, and they are picked up at the border of Songzhou, and a lot of Hu people have poured in at once, according to each other's agreement, as long as they don't bring weapons, they can be allowed to enter, and hundreds of people have poured in in the past few days, just last night, the Tubo people suddenly set fire everywhere in the city, and also forcibly seized the city gate and let the Tubo army outside the gate come in, Caught off guard, Songzhou City fell into their hands, these Tubo people who killed a thousand knives, as soon as they came in, they did all kinds of evil, they robbed what they saw, and the old and young were all killed, and the young and strong men and women were forcibly brought back to Tubo as slaves by them.

"How did you escape?" Liu Yuan asked.

"The little sleep is very alert, as soon as he finds something abnormal, he immediately hides his family in the cellar, because the cellar is very small, I jumped into the well, I didn't expect these people to search out of the cellar, so" Qin Wuyi punched on the ground, two tears, a memory of the parents and son were killed, and the mother was insulted and then stabbed in the heart, and the death did not look like a blind, the heart hurt so much that he couldn't speak.

Qin Wu gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that the little ones are afraid of death, seeing that their wives and children are in trouble and sit idly by, I couldn't help but fight with them at that time, and wanted to secretly kill the head of the hundred households who led the way, but I didn't expect to overhear a big secret, so I forcibly held back and found a chance to run out." ”

Liu Yuan asked in a deep voice, "What secret?" ”

"The little one wanted to see the general before he said it, but General Liu is here, and it's the same with you." When Liu Yuan returned triumphantly from Tubo, Qin Wu also witnessed his demeanor, so he said with confidence: "I heard two Tubo chiefs of 100 households talking, because the younger one has been on the border for many years and has also dealt with the Tubo people a lot, so I can understand that the goal of their trip is not only Songzhou City, but also their focus on the three new camps on the border, and their Zampu Songtsan Gampo is also disguised as ordinary soldiers and mixed in the team, this time he personally planned it." ”

After Qin Wu finished speaking, he suddenly said with a resolute face: "General, I have brought the small words, please give me a knife, and I will go back to fight with the dog." ”

I thought that this man was greedy for life and afraid of death, and when he saw that his family was in trouble, he didn't rush out of the gang to fight hard, just now Liu Yuan despised him a little, but now it seems that he is a man who stands up to the sky, righteousness has overcome personal feelings, and he has left a life to send out the information he overheard.

is really a good man in Datang.

After hearing this, Liu Yuan lost his voice and shouted: "It's not good, we have been tricked." (To be continued......)
