Ten days later.

A flying pigeon enters the palace of the Tibetan royal city.

Soon, a very short piece of information was sent to Qin Huaidao, with only a short line on it - capturing the Turkic king Yu Tingzhou alive, Su Dingfang's northern expedition, and Xue Rengui's westward expedition, but it was full of shocking information.

Qin Huaidao quickly asked Luo Wu to send a map, and quickly found the location of Tingzhou, the information was transmitted by Li Jing, the number was encrypted, there was no possibility of counterfeiting, and capturing the Turkic king Yu Tingzhou alive meant that Su Dingfang's soldiers and horses arrived in Tingzhou, blocking the Turkic king who returned to the west, and fought a big battle and captured people.

"Okay, I really didn't mistake you!"

Qin Huaidao couldn't help muttering to himself, his face was full of smiles, his eyes fell on the north of Tingzhou, which was the vast grassland, when the Turkic king led his troops to attack Chang'an, the various parts along the grassland were taken by the Turks, and Su Dingfang dared to lead the troops to the Northern Expedition, indicating that the losses in the first battle of Tingzhou were not large, and there was still strength left.

Although the northern grasslands are under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei and are subordinate to the imperial court, they are occupied by the Turks, and legally it is natural who will be defeated by whom, and the imperial court will have to talk about it if it wants.

But what does Xue Rengui's expedition to the west mean?

Qin Huaidao was a little surprised, Xue Rengui was originally going west to conquer the Turks, to create chaos, panic, and by the way, loot some grain, grass, population, etc. to supplement the needs of Hanzhou, one in the west and one in the north, why did Li Jing suddenly mention Xue Rengui, could it be that Xue Rengui went to Tingzhou?

If this is the case, it can also be understood that the Turkic king was captured alive in Tingzhou, the two armies joined forces, and with the convenience of Tingzhou City, the odds of victory are very high, no wonder Su Dingfang still has the strength to go on a northern expedition.

"But the problem?"

Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the inevitable Khotan, Xue Rengui sent troops in the direction, it is said that all the way to the north, at most to Shule, to the west at most to the city of Bo and the city of Bohezhou, that is, the north of Pakistan in later generations, could it be that from Khotan in the south to the west, around the Tarim Basin, after a circle to the north to Yanqi, after learning that the Turkic king returned to the west, he ran to Tingzhou to meet Su Dingfang?

Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao was ecstatic in his heart, the Turkic king was captured alive, and the Turks were in chaos, if it was really as he analyzed, Xue Rengui would kill around the Tarim Basin, and he would inevitably mess up the Turks, and he could take it without bringing too many soldiers and horses, which was great news.

Tibet is not short of gold, but food, if you bring a large number of soldiers and horses, along the way people eat horses and chew, the consumption is too great, and when you reach the Turks, I am afraid that the food will be out of food, it will be very troublesome.

"Newspaper—"

"General Duan asks to see you!" Outside, there was a report from the guards.

"Come in!"

Qin Huaidao responded, threw the information into the brazier and burned it, saw Duan Zan hurriedly coming over, pointed to the vacant seat next to him and asked with a smile: "General Duan, what's the urgency?" Sit down and talk slowly. ”

"See King Han!"

Duan Zan hurriedly saluted, and did not sit down, but said eagerly: "King Han, the commander of Qiangba's division has just hurried from the Bamboo Domain, saying that the Gundam Kingdom learned of the chaos in Tubo and suddenly launched a sneak attack, because Qiangba and others led the army over, the Bamboo Domain is useless, and it can't be stopped at all, I'm afraid it has fallen into the hands of the Gundam Kingdom." ”

"Bamboo Domain, where is it?"

Qin Huaidao was a little stunned, spread out the map of Tubo, and motioned for Duan Zan to step forward.

Duan Zan stepped forward quickly, pointed to a location on the border south of Luo Qi City, and explained: "To the east of Our Lady Peak, the terrain here is relatively flat, and you can go south to the country of Gundam, and to the east of the country of Gundam is the country of Pi, and the five of them are mainly stationed in this area to prevent the Kingdom of Gundam and the Kingdom of Bi, and after the main force of the army comes, the two kingdoms want to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie." ”

Our Lady of Mary is the Everest of later generations.

Qin Huaidao looked at the location of the map, isn't the bamboo domain the Bhutan of the later generations? In this era, it belonged to the Tibetan territory and had not yet been founded, and the kingdom of Nagao was the later Bangladesh, and as for the country of Pi, it was a large area north of Myanmar and south of Lhasa in later times.

"What's going on with this Gundam Kingdom?" Qin Huaidao asked suspiciously.

"The subordinates don't know, Commander Qiangba is waiting outside, right?"

"Biography!"

Soon, Qiangba hurriedly came in, saluted solemnly, and explained after learning the problem: "King Han, the Kingdom of Gundam was established a few years ago, it was originally a subordinate state of the Rongri Dynasty, the king was called Sassanka, in 606 AD, the brother of the King of Rongri, Luo Jia Vatana, was killed by a neighbor, and after ascending the throne, he swore revenge in 612 AD, with the capital Qunu City as the center, conquered the Quartet, ruled more than 30 states, a few years ago due to illness and neglect of the government, the influence of the Rongri Dynasty began to decline, the state rose strongly, and the Kingdom of Gundam announced its separation, And expanded aggressively, attacking Tibet half a year ago, and was defeated by the last general and the general of Kampot together, but he did not expect to take the opportunity to invade again. ”

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, India and other countries of the Indian subcontinent were collectively called Tianzhu, Tianzhu was not a specific country, this region has established four major empires, namely the Mauryan Empire, the Gupta Empire, the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire, and the Rongri Dynasty was established after the Gupta Empire, in 647 AD the Rongri King died, and the Rongri Dynasty also collapsed, which lasted 41 years, which can be described as a flash in the pan.

It was the beginning of 642 A.D., five years before the death of King Rongri.

Of course, Qin Huaidao didn't know anything about these for a long time, but there was a strong ba who was familiar with the situation, and after some detailed inquiries, he had a good grasp of the population, combat effectiveness, terrain and basic situation of the Bamboo Domain of the Gundam Kingdom.

Gradually, Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the direction of Qunu City, that is, the capital of the Rongri Dynasty, since the influence of the Rongri Dynasty has plummeted and it is unable to control the surrounding countries, its interior will inevitably be in chaos, and it is a good time to recover.

If you take the Rongri Dynasty and its more than 30 states, it is equivalent to taking half of the later India, and then wave your troops south, and you can occupy the whole of India.

A highly centralized and unified dynasty is not easy to fight, but a dynasty that is about to split and has internal strife is not yet easy to capture? According to Qiangba, the Kingdom of Gundam is still a relatively powerful state, but its weapons and equipment are not as good as those of Tubo, and it is even worse than the Hanzhou army.

If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed.

If you don't eat the big fat meat in front of you, you can't get up in this world for a while, once you take it, the descendants can say loudly that Tianzhu is ours after a thousand years.

Su Dingfang went to the northern grasslands to make contributions, and Xue Rengui went to the west to expand the territory, how could he, the king, lag behind his subordinates?

All kinds of thoughts flashed, Qin Huaidao was moved, and his eyes swept around the map, weighing the pros and cons.

The stakes are very high, Qin Huaidao asked for some details uneasily, asked the two of them to leave first, and asked people to find documents about the Bamboo Domain and the Gundam Kingdom from the palace treasury to check and verify, and also asked people to find Xiao Yan and other former Tubo ministers to inquire carefully.

The next day, Qin Huaidao asked people to find Luo Tong and Cheng Chumo.

An ambition is on the rise.
