Chapter 11: Who Lives Longer

When the chain mail, piercing armor and close-fitting cicada clothes were all taken off and he was shirtless, Guo Rong, who was grinning with painful teeth, was already covered with cold sweat.

The main thing is that after getting acquainted with it, Guo Rong will not hold on silently.

The screams and wails made Lu Shishi, who helped Guo Rong, panic.

Seeing the ghost-like expression on Lu Shishi's face, Guo Rong also followed Lu Shishi's gaze to his naked upper body.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, Guo Rong was taken aback by himself.

The parts that came into contact with the breastplate, dorsal armor, mantle and other parts of the body have been blurred by friction, and the huge wound on the left arm, which had been scabbed, had completely collapsed in the fight just now, and he kept bleeding himself.

Most of his body has been soaked in blood, and his whole person is like a bloody person, and he looks as terrifying as he looks.

In addition to the wound on his left arm, the Tibetan archer just now concentrated an arrow on his ribs at close range, although he could not penetrate the armor piece of the armor, but the full force still made Guo Rong's ribs bruise.

Guo Rong suspected that if it weren't for his strength, physical strength, and agility attributes, plus this guy was using inferior bone arrows instead of armor-piercing arrows, even if he wasn't shot through, at least two ribs would have to be broken.

However, seeing his shocking upper body, Guo Rong also understood that he was obviously not fatally injured in the battle just now, but his health was only 80 points.

Eating sacs, drinking water, hurting flesh, bleeding blood, it would be strange if this health could increase!

I was lucky enough to find a valley before I went into shock due to blood loss, otherwise if the enemy's pursuers arrived when I was in shock, it would have become a send-off!

After cleaning the wound and treating it with good gold sore medicine, after the health began to rise slowly, Guo Rong's hanging heart fell.

After helping Guo Rong unload his armor and applying gold sore medicine to Guo Rong, Lu Shixi began to feed the horses, and after Guo Rong pondered through Wei's plan to marry the Uighurs, his mind returned to the situation in the entire Western Regions and his mission in Chang'an.

Before the crossing, although he had also been in the system for a few years, Guo Rong had neither the idea of participating in intrigue nor the interest in studying politics, but chose to lie down and be a salted fish!

But it does not mean that Guo Rong is a natural waste wood, as a Chinese who has received a complete education from kindergarten to university, Guo Rong has the most basic reading and analysis ability for the times.

The three-year bloody battle in Qiuzi, the edification of the white-haired veterans and oilers, and the fact that Guo Rong would teach Guo Rong lessons from time to time, made Guo Rong still understand the general trend of the Western Regions and the huge region of Longyou.

Then he took out the captured letter belonging to the commander of the Wei clan in Tubo, and at the same time, the map of the distribution of forces in the entire Western Regions came to mind.

The current situation in the Western Regions is roughly as follows: north of Mobei and Tianshan Mountains is the Uighur Khanate, and northwest is the Uighur Khanate.

To the southwest of the Qagars were the Qarluqs, and to the south were the Tibetans, who in turn surrounded Qiuci, the only remaining important town in Anxi.

Some of the herders have red hair, white faces, and green eyes, and some have black hair and black eyes.

At the time of Qiuci, the white-haired old soldiers said that the black-eyed Huangjiasi people were descendants of the rebel general Li Ling of the Han Dynasty.

After the Han general Li Ling surrendered to the Xiongnu, he was crowned the king of the right school, and he was honorable and useful, and Jiankun (Huang Jiasi) was under his jurisdiction, so it is said that there are descendants of Li Ling among the Huang Jiasi people.

Guo Rong had never met the Huangsi people, but Guo Rong felt that if he could reach Chang'an alive, there was a high chance that he would be able to see them, because the Huangqi was friendly with the Tang Dynasty, and the leader and the Li Tang royal family were both from the Li clan in Longxi.

Compared to the Ques, the old pawns had nothing to say good about the Qarluqs when they were in Qiuzi.

Scolding the mother, the angry reprimand, all kinds of swearing, and foul language made Guo Rong understand the national scolding of the Tang people, and there is only one reason why there is such a reaction: the Battle of Talas!

In the tenth year of Tianbao (July-August 751), Gao Xianzhi, then the envoy of the Anxi Festival, led the main force of the Anxi army westward into Talas, and fought fiercely with the newly rising cannibals on both sides of the Talas River.

The main force of the Anxi army was more than 10,000 people, and the more than 10,000 Gelulu army and Bahanna army recruited on the way to the west, totaling about 30,000 people.

The Great Food Army, which fought against Gao Xianzhi, dispatched 70,000 troops and 90,000 servant troops, for a total of 160,000 troops.

With 30,000 against 160,000, the Anxi army fought with the Great Cannibal for 5 days and ended in a draw, at which time Qarlu suddenly rebelled and attacked the Anxi army with the Arab army, resulting in the defeat of the Anxi army.

Of the more than 10,000 Anxi troops, less than 10,000 eventually returned to Anxi, although they traveled thousands of miles to fight against nearly ten times the enemy, and more than 70,000 were beheaded.

But more than 6,000 Anxi troops were killed or missing, which was unacceptable for the Anxi army!

In the twelfth year of Tianbao (753), the Anxi army, which had regained its strength, led the Anxi army to the west again by Feng Changqing, the new envoy of Jiedu, to capture the strategic place of Dabolu, forcing the great cannibals to sue for peace!

If it weren't for the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion and the return of the main force of the Anxi Army to the Central Plains, it is estimated that the rebellious Qarlu would be the next target of the Anxi Army.

As for the situation in the Western Regions, Qarluq and Hugus were only small forces, and the big ones were still the Tibetans and Uighurs.

Strictly speaking, the Tubo people are the real overlords of the Western Regions, but this does not mean that the Tubo people are now on the rise, on the contrary, this is the return of the Tubo people!

The four major families fought openly and secretly with the Zampu family, the bloody struggle between the local religion of Tibet and foreign Buddhism, the internal contradictions intensified, there were many factions, the warlords were divided, and they were terminally ill and difficult to return.

It can be said that Tubo at that time did not admit much to the Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion, just to see who could live longer!

And all Guo Rong's understanding of Tubo comes from his father-in-law Guo Xin, and this judgment is also the reason why Guo Xin dares to stay overseas and stick to Anxi.

Guo Xin is betting that Datang has lived longer than Tubo!

Because, Guo Xin saw that the two empires, which were also in crisis, had chosen completely different strategies.

The Tang Dynasty gave up the Longyou Western Regions and chose to shrink, while the Tubo chose to expand frantically.

This led to a precarious situation in which 4 million Tibetans ruled over more than 7 million conquered people, and there were too many places to defend in the vast territory, such as the Great and Small Bolu, the Hexi Corridor, Longyou, the Western Regions, and the encroached Tang Territory.

With the low productivity of the Tibetan people, the support of hundreds of thousands of troops with a population of 10 million has further dragged down the finances of Tibet, causing Tibet to fall into a vicious circle!

And the last party left is the most famous Erwuzai in the Western Regions, the Uighurs!
