After secretly entrenching in the Jishi Mountain area for more than ten days, and initially adapting to the plateau climate, Liu Yuan led a group of people to officially march to Tibet.

A group of people, like a ghost, quietly sneaked into Tibet, in a vast and sparsely populated area, dozens of people were inconspicuous, and Liu Yuan also specially made the necessary disguise: the group was all dressed as Tubo people, if you didn't take a closer look, it would be really difficult to find.

Fishing in troubled waters, Liu Yuan can be said to be very proficient in this trick, the last time in Tubo, that is, changing into the military uniform of the Tubo people, he has repeatedly succeeded, and it can be very practical, now only fifty-two people have entered Tubo, although the personnel are more elite than last time, but the number of people is only one-tenth of the last time, not to mention the backup, even the friendly troops who take care of each other are not, so naturally they will not wear the armor of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo to swagger through the market.

After the recent conflict, Tubo and Datang have torn off the last fig leaf, each other is a mortal enemy, and all the people of Tubo are soldiers, but they dare not be careless.

"General, they have just adapted to altitude sickness, and now their bodies have not fully recovered, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, so they are not suitable for fighting." Zhao Fuce approached Liu Yuan and asked with some puzzlement.

The initial adaptation and adaptation are far apart, like the waiting army, they have only 50% of their combat strength left at most, and the number of people is already small, once they encounter a battle, the consequences are unimaginable, if they rest for a few more days, the situation will definitely be much better.

Liu Yuan shook his head and said; "We're here to carry out a mission, not to visit here, not to fight, stay in it for too long, if we don't transfer, there will be a danger of being discovered, besides, it is enough to adapt to the climate here in the early stage."

Qian Weiqiang, who was on the side, glared at Zhao Fu with a little displeasure, pulled him aside, and lowered his voice with some annoyance: "Just your pig brain." You don't want to think about it, if you delay it any longer, then the Tubo princess will be born, and then the general's flesh and blood will be sacrificed, so that you will be happy. ”

Zhao Fu's face turned pale, and he shook his head again and again.

"What are you doing, the general has a spectrum in his heart, you don't squeak on the side."

"Yes, I know." Zhao Fulian replied when he heard this.

I almost forgot to save the general's flesh and blood, this matter can't be delayed. Although the general's family has a group of wives and concubines, but there are no children under his knees, Liu Yuan does not dare to slack off.

A group of fifty-two people cautiously marched towards Tubo, and Liu Yuan did not dare to take the avenue. It's all remote paths, anyway, Tubo is not like the Tang Dynasty. There are official roads, avenues and so on. Along the way, Liu Yuan made full use of the advantages of clairvoyance, and every time he found a patrol without Tibet. On the way, if you find a large camp or outpost in Tibet, you will also send people to use clairvoyance to find out the deployment and location of his troops, and draw a topographic map. for emergencies.

"General, there is a patrol ahead, there are only ten people, what should we do?" Hou Jun suddenly ran back and applied to Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan looked at him and said, "What? Got an idea? ”

"General, kill them, you can't let them go again this time, rob them of their dry food and war horses, as long as you give me a fire man, I promise to take them all down, and never let them run away." Hou Jun said as he rubbed his hands.

encountered several teams of patrols in front, Liu Yuan let them go, and asked his subordinates not to do anything, all of them were handy, and they had long wanted to do it and kill them cleanly, but Liu Yuan kept holding them down and didn't let them do it, which made the soldiers a little dissatisfied.

These are all military merits, although they do not have as much credit as the generals, but they add up a lot, and there will always be a day of promotion.

"All hidden, and when the patrol is gone, we'll continue to set off." Liu Yuan still used the methods of the previous times to avoid fighting without fighting.

A soldier in the crowd was dissatisfied, and couldn't help but say: "General, these are war exploits, why don't you bring them?" What about the accumulation of small amounts, didn't the general do this last time he entered Tibet? ”

Last time Liu Yuan led the Zhenbo army into Tubo, it was a ghost to see sorrow, see people killing, see livestock slaughtered, and kill countless soldiers, as long as the soldiers who returned to the Tang Dynasty alive, they were all promoted and generously rewarded, but it was really a nuisance, a group of soldiers had long been angered by the atrocities of Tubo, and when they saw these Tubo soldiers, they all pinched the handle of their knives tightly, and they couldn't help but rush up immediately to give them a three-knife and six holes.

But Liu Yuan didn't approve it, Rao is Liu Yuan's prestige was full, and finally some people questioned it.

Before Liu Yuan could speak, Zhao Fu said: "What are you arguing about, the general has his own decision, is this time the same as last time?" Last time, there were 5,000 people, and General Hou led the team, the situation is different from this time, what is the meaning of these small soldiers, we are so powerful, even if we eat, we also eat big fish, what is in a hurry, and when we enter the hinterland, there are many big fish. ”

Liu Yuan nodded and said: "Captain Zhao is right, now that it is exposed too early, it is easy for us to fall into passivity, which is not conducive to our actions, and this time the task of entering Tubo is essentially different from the last time, the last time it was the invasion of Tubo, aiming to disturb the rear of Tubo and force it to retreat, it has the effect of encircling Wei to save Zhao, the bigger the movement, the better, but this time the strategic goal is different, aiming to collect all the intelligence that is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, and if there is a chance, it is necessary to kill the main general of Tubo and save people, so, for the time being, it is not impulsive, We must not only be careful, but also try to avoid fighting. ”

These militants have not yet understood their role and status, and have not understood the difference between the Yangwei army and ordinary soldiers, and it is better to explain these things sooner or later, lest they will not be able to control their murderous spirit as soon as they see the Tibetans.

Everyone nodded thoughtfully, and Niu Shiming said a little curiously: "General, what is the biggest goal of our trip?" ”

First came to greet his relatives, and then heard that Tubo suddenly turned his face, and saw those atrocities, dozens of people sneaked into Tubo, and everyone thought that Liu Yuan would lead everyone to vigorously disturb Tubo like last time, but Liu Yuan ordered to avoid contact as much as possible, and his words and actions were completely different from the last time, and many people were a little puzzled, what was this trip for?

Or to put it bluntly, what can fifty people do when they come to Tibet?

Liu Yuan nodded and said: "The purpose of our trip, in fact, has also been said, to find out the truth of Tubo, to investigate their military deployment, these will be useful to Datang in the future, the most important point, Tubo reversed his word, slapped Datang hard, if you don't get back a little color, it will make others laugh." ”

"Besides, this matter started because of me, it is estimated that many people are waiting to see my jokes, I must give them a good show, as for what is the biggest goal" Liu Yuan sneered and said: "At the very least, let Songtsen Gampo know what pain is, and dare to blackmail me, I will make him pay, at the very least, I will do a few shocking cases in Tubo." ”

"General, we listen to you." Zhao Fu yelled and expressed his support for Liu Yuan.

"General, your subordinates will all listen to you."

"General, we're going to do it with you."

Liu Yuan's words were full of enthusiasm, which suddenly ignited the fighting spirit of all the soldiers, and they all shouted loudly, and their eyes lit up when they thought of how many shocking cases Tubo had done.

……

Under the leadership of Liu Yuan, everyone evaded the Tibetan patrol and then continued on the road.

However, the soldiers of the Yangwei Army were soon stunned by the situation on the road: along the way, there were more and more corpses on the roadside, looking at the costumes and faces, they were all people of the Tang Dynasty, some lost their heads, some fell to the ground with ropes tied to their bodies, some women died naked on the side of the road, their bodies were scarred, and the secret place was also stuffed with foreign objects, which were obviously humiliated to death, and some were tied into a string of ropes and fell on the side of the road with their heads cut off, and some were gnawed by wild dogs and wolves, which was miserable.

Obviously, these are the people or soldiers captured by Tubo from the Tang Dynasty, who were taken to Tubo as slaves and maids, altitude sickness, many people were killed, and some people were killed for resistance, from the Tang Dynasty to Tubo, it is the hellish road of the captured soldiers and civilians of the Tang Dynasty, the most uncomfortable thing is that because Tubo is too poor, some soldiers do not even let go of the clothes of the dead, so that when many people die, they are still naked, and they have no dignity even to die.

It's so hateful.

Liu Yuan was silent all the way, and the soldiers under his command were silent, the cruel reality, so heavy that everyone was breathless, and when they were about to approach Maqin, in the avalanche valley, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them: on the side of the valley, there were two rows of corpses, one row was male, the other row was female, all of them were the people of the Tang Dynasty, they were naked, and their chests were nailed to both sides of the valley with a sharp wooden nail, from the painful expression on the face of the deceased and the large amount of blood stains on the wound, These people were all crucified here.

And at the mouth of the valley, there is a wooden sign that reads: Those who commit Tibetan crimes will all end up here.

So arrogant, so arrogant.

"It was such a terrible death." Guan Yong gritted his teeth and prepared to get people down as he spoke.

"Guan Yong, what are you going to do?" Liu Yuan shouted loudly.

"General" Guan Yong gritted his teeth and said: "People are dead, they are buried in the ground, they are nailed here, what is the matter?" As soldiers, we couldn't protect them when the Tibetan invasion came, so now we put them down and dig a pit and bury them, which can be regarded as doing something trivial for them. ”

"Yes, General, it is great for men to die, so that their souls will not have rest."

"There are so many of us, and it will be a meeting for a while, without delay."

Everyone expressed their stance one after another, signaling that they would collect the bodies of their compatriots.

Liu Yuan said loudly: "Don't move, keep it as it is." ”

"General, for what? Are you indifferent to seeing your fellow citizens die so miserably? Guan Yong couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Fu shook his head and said: "Brothers, don't get me wrong, the general is not sympathetic, but we can't expose our whereabouts, if we bury them for them, as soon as the Tubo people pass by, they will be able to find out immediately, and then our whereabouts will be exposed, because the Tubo people hate us to the bone, and they will definitely not collect the corpses for them, we only have more than 50 people, this is too dangerous, brothers think about it, in the Tubo area, why use the Tang Dynasty text?" This is clearly a decoy. ”

"Yes!" Liu Yuan said with a calm face: "When we enter Tubo, the first thing is to adapt to the plateau climate here, and the second thing is a word, endure, endure everything we see, until we reach the goal, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, what Tubo does, we will return it to double or ten times in the future."
