Because this time, Songtsen Gampo was very generous in his promises to these nobles who were willing to send troops with him.

So these nobles after returning to their tribes.

Motivation, those are quite sufficient.

When three days later, the people gathered together outside the city of Raksha with their soldiers and horses.

Only then did they realize that almost everyone had brought out all the people in their tribe who could fight.

Whoever is behind it, it is far more than the minimum requirement of a thousand people of Songtsen Gampo.

However, this is also normal for the Tibetan people.

After all, when they go out to fight, they all go out to rob.

If you want to grab more, how can you do it if you bring fewer people.

Wait until all your henchmen and nobles bring their soldiers and horses.

Songtsen Gampo is also the same as usual.

A cow was slaughtered in public as a sacrifice.

Then he drank blood wine with all the nobles.

It can be regarded as the completion of the pledge meeting.

Since he himself still had to stay in the royal city, he suppressed the old nobles who had long been dissatisfied with him.

So his own sons.

This time, it was all handed over to Lu Dongzan to lead.

He was also appointed as a general for this expedition.

The other tribes must also be at his disposal.

After all, although Lu Dongzan did make a mistake in the matter of wine trade.

But anyway, he still came up with the idea of taking the opportunity to conquer the Turks.

Therefore, Songtsen Gampo is still willing to give him another chance to make up for his mistakes.

Of course, this is also the last chance that Lu Dongzan can get here.

If this time the leader goes out to fight, there will be some baskets.

Nalu Dongzan can also go to those serfs to pick up cow dung in the future.

After the completion of the pledge meeting.

As the general of this expedition, Lu Dongzan took the lead with a mighty army.

The march towards the east, where the Turks are, has begun!

——————————

In the territory of the Turks, not far from the pasture that Cheng Yanjin had rented, in a large canyon.

Wang Xuance had been waiting for a long time and began to get upset.

He didn't expect that because the border towns on the Tang side had taken precautions early.

Unexpectedly, the Tubo people never got the information about Chang'an City.

If it weren't for the letter that someone had sent.

I'm afraid he'll have to wait in this place for I don't know how long.

Just when Wang Xuance was lying on the ground, biting the grass root in his mouth, staring at an eagle soaring in the sky to pass the time.

Suddenly, he was awakened by a scout arriving on a fast horse.

After confirming that the person who came was one of the scouts who followed Zheng Yang to inquire about intelligence in Tubo.

Wang Xuance finally couldn't help but get excited.

"The army of the Tibetans has begun to move! Three days ago, he had already left the royal city of the Tibetans. ”

"It's coming towards us!"

Wang Xuance, who finally heard the news, was excited at this time, and hurriedly asked:

"How many people? Are you sure? ”

The scout, who was asked this question, was silent for a moment.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "According to our estimates, at least 20,000 people or more." ”

"Twenty thousand? Are the Tibetans crazy? ”

Hearing this number, Wang Xuance's face was also a little unbearable.

for they are now full of no more than thirty men.

Is this to be in the rhythm of one against a thousand?

"Let's take a look, there should be six Tibetan people who sent troops together this time."

"The number of people in each family is basically not less than 3,000."

For a scout, accurately estimating the number of soldiers and horses in a place is an extremely important basic skill.

Therefore, Wang Xuance also believes that these brothers under his hands.

You can't go wrong about this.

But at this time, Wang Xuance was scratching his head.

I can't figure out why the Tubo people would send so many soldiers and horses to the expedition in this season.

You must know that according to the combat habits of the Tibetan people.

As long as conditions permit, they basically have to prepare two horses per person for each expedition.

One is used for travel and transportation, and the other is reserved for battle.

Of course, if the battle is won, the extra horse will also help them carry more loot.

It's just that in this season, 40,000 horses, of which 20,000 are war horses, go out to fight.

The Tubo people are not afraid that after this battle is over, there will be no horses to ride again in the next few years?

Shake these doubts out of your mind.

Wang Xuance couldn't care so much at this time.

It doesn't matter if the Tubo people come with 2,000 or 20,000.

Anyway, he had already made up his mind to help the Tibetan people this time.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have eaten the sand for so long in vain on this frontier?

After asking the scouts, it will take about seven to eight days for those Tibetans to arrive.

Wang Xuance also hurriedly went to gather all his brothers.

Now the number of Tibetans coming is too large.

He estimated the gunpowder they had prepared.

It is estimated that it is no longer enough.

We must take advantage of this time to configure more gunpowder!

And so it was, for the next few days.

Wang Xuance took his brothers with him almost every day and every night.

Single-mindedly trying to make more gunpowder.

And the Tibetans who are approaching them step by step.

But he still didn't know what he was about to encounter.

In the intense work of gunpowder blending.

Time slipped by almost in the blink of an eye.

And Wang Xuance finally took his brothers under his hands.

When all the materials you've collected over the months are ready.

According to the report of Zheng Yang and the scouts under him.

The Tibetans are finally here.

"Now we can be sure that the Tubo people are going to take our road, right?"

Facing Zheng Yang, who came back in person to report the news, Wang Xuance asked solemnly.

Because he could guess that the first target of the Tubo people this time was the grassland behind him.

So for the course of action of the Tibetan army.

Wang Xuance: They have already guessed that there are eight or nine tens.

"Yes, I can be sure, the spies filmed by the Tubo people these days also seem to have noticed the existence of my door."

"I've been desperately moving forward."

"Judging by the spies they sent."

"Now the army can only go from us."

"That's good!" After Wang Xuance clenched his fists heavily, his heart was also completely excited.

Because if the Tibetans are sure to follow their path.

Then the canyon where they are now will be the only way for the Tibetan people.

And this is also the most suitable place for Wang Xuance to ambush the Tubo people.

In this way, for Wang Xuance.

Almost all the people at the right time were on his side.

He couldn't imagine that he had any possibility of failure this time!
