After the banquet, the brigade commander Tan Ming took a team of soldiers and escorted the captured Tubo commander and several other centurions and ten-commanders out of the camp.

According to Tan Mingming, the place where they were executed was about five miles away from the camp.

Guo Rong didn't know what was going on, but Guo Rong felt that the faint screams had not stopped since midnight.

The truth is that it was night, and within a radius of twenty miles, all the small animals that were not deaf were hiding in their holes and shivering, and within a radius of fifty miles, the traces of wild wolves had completely disappeared.

The next morning, when Guo Rong got up, Tan Ming had already dragged the Tibetan commander back to the camp.

Seeing the oncoming Guo Rong and Li Rui, the commander, who was on the verge of collapse, cried and shouted as if he had met a god, and began to confess like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Even when he was thirteen years old, he carried the girl to the barley field for the first time and was thankful, he threw down his troops and fled first, the desperate struggle between Buddhism and Bon, the open and secret struggle of the six major families, and the deployment of the eastern Daoma Benmutu are all clearly explained.

The content is so detailed, the variety is so complex, and the levels are so chaotic that the entire team, from Liu Zongyuan, a member of the Ministry of Rites, to the literate Tang Jun, all began to help record.

It can only be said that this Qianfu often appeared very appropriately, as the highest-ranking Tubo officer who may appear on the front-line battlefield, this guy is enough to provide Guo Rong with everything he wants to know.

It took a full 4 hours for Wei Guanzhi and others to basically write a record of the common sense of Tibet and the political struggle of the upper echelons through the confession of the commander of Tubo.

Of course, for Guo Rong, the greatest significance was to know from the mouth of this commander the reason for the sudden attack of the Tibetans against the Uighurs:

In the northwestern province of the Tubo River, Tsang Bo Zang Ma Ben sent troops to pursue the two officers of the Anxi Tang Army who had fled into the steppe, and at the same time sent a plea for help to all the states bordering the Uighurs.

The duty of this commander is to attack and harass the Khibi tribe, and with the achievement of the strategic goal, this commander thought about making a fortune before retreating, and then he was very unlucky to run into Guo Rong and Li Rui who were returning......

Hearing this, Li Rui and Wei Guanzhi were stunned, no wonder Guo Rong didn't dare to say that since Guo Ziyi's death, no one in the court has mentioned the Anxi Army for more than 20 years.

If it weren't for hearing the news from the mouth of the Tubo commander today, Li Rui wouldn't even dare to believe that the Anxi Army still existed.

At the same time, Li Rui's heart suddenly had an indescribable throbbing, and the Anxi army ......

The chance encounter with the Tubo people can only be regarded as an episode, because the interrogation of the Tubo commander was only delayed for one day, and after all the information was determined, this mixed team continued to move south, targeting Fengzhou and the Tiande army.

For the possible Tubo people, neither Guo Rong nor Li Rui took it too seriously.

If they are surrounded by tens of thousands of Tibetan cavalry, with the troops at hand, Guo Rong and Li Rui will also hate even if they have the ability to reach the sky, but there are only two thousand households in the entire territory of the Qibi Department, and there are cavalry in the early 1,000s.

There are chariots to rely on, caravan members as auxiliaries, sufficient supply supplies, 200 cavalry with good combat effectiveness as flanks, and the Tubo people have just provided hundreds of war horses, which solves the only shortcoming of the Shence army under Li Rui's command.

If these Tibetans arrived, Li Rui might be able to accumulate enough military merits to be promoted to guerrilla in this wave.

The two guys prepared all the way, but the Tubo people didn't come......

However, the most regrettable thing about this is not Li Rui or Guo Rong, but for Liu Zongyuan, who failed to witness the last battle......

For Guo Rong and Li Rui, it doesn't matter if the Tubo people don't come, they won't come.

Li Rui and Guo Rong were already quite close to each other, but now they have such a hidden relationship with Anxi Jun, and the relationship between the two is even closer.

He didn't ask, and he didn't need to ask, because he knew that the Anxi army had not received a single soldier, a soldier, a money, or a grain supply from the imperial court for forty years, and had been isolated in the Western Regions for more than 40 years......

Li Rui didn't ask how he went from Anxi to Guo Rong, because he knew that he could come all the way from Anxi and proved everything.

Without the attack of the Tibetans, in the same car, Li Rui began to consciously teach Guo Rong the family tradition and Li Rui's own experience in the army for more than 20 years.

From the marching army column to the site selection, from the configuration of the Tang army to the formation during the battle, from the individual tactics of Modao to the terrain and queue of Modao, the combat drills of the Tang army after Li Jing's reform were almost completely presented in front of Guo Rong.

On the fourth day of the eighth month, this team finally crossed the grassland of nearly 1,000 miles, and there were only the last 200 miles left from Fengzhou.

A lot of things that he originally just heard from Li Rui's mouth, Guo Rong began to get in touch with them personally.

The team under the command of Li Rui with the Shence Army as the core, rising at sunrise, marching with a full meal, scouting forward, and after traveling thirty miles a day, it took a lot of time to build a strong camp, which made Guo Rong feel very emotional.

Although Guo Rong expressed more than once that he wanted to increase his speed and return to Chang'an as soon as possible, he was rejected by Li Rui again and again with a smile.

In the face of Guo Rong's inquiry, Li Rui gave a reason that Guo Rong could not refute.

The Tang army is well-equipped, has a strong will to fight, and its combat skills are far beyond ordinary people, as long as it is steady and steady, step by step, there is almost no possibility of failure, and if there is no special reason, he will definitely not rush to march and fight!

casually gave an example, if Zhang Xun's caravan did not use chariots to form a camp, An Neng would hold out until he arrived.

If the Tibetans had built a strong camp, how could they have won so easily!

"Guo Rong, I don't know why you are in a hurry to return to Chang'an, but you must know that the entire Chang'an has a divine army of 100,000 people in the hands of the eunuchs, even if you can return within a few days with these two hundred cavalry, what is the use?"

A few simple words completely dispelled Guo Rong's idea of accelerating after entering Fengzhou.

He knew that Li Rui was right, no matter what happened in Chang'an, even if the emperor was deposed, it was not something that his two hundred cavalry could influence, but it was better to escort Princess Xian'an's clothes back honestly and step by step, sometimes it was more valuable to be above board.

Six days later, the team escorting Princess Xian'an arrived in Fengzhou smoothly, and Ren Dijian, the defense envoy of Fengzhou (Tiande Army), who had heard the news for a long time, personally led his troops out of the city to greet him.

After a truly difficult five-month journey, Guo Rong finally arrived in the land of Datang.

However, seeing the dilapidated Fengzhou City in front of him, Guo Rong felt an uncontrollable sense of loss in his heart!

Guo Rong couldn't imagine that Fengzhou City, which was the border pass of the Tang Dynasty, was even more dilapidated than Qiuzi, which had been fighting bloody battles for many years!

Is this really the Tang Dynasty in my memory?
