Chapter 275: Border Monument

"The general is angry, let me go back and transfer troops, right?"

An adjutant general next to General Huyan said, he saw everything in his eyes, although there were only eight or nine hundred people on the opposite side except for those artillerymen, but these eight or nine hundred people were all carrying chain crossbows, and they could shoot ten times the number of bows and arrows in an instant, that is, eight or nine thousand, and we couldn't resist it at all.

Although we also have archers in our team, whether it is speed or accuracy, we have a gap with others, and this kind of hardware gap can be seen by anyone, and it is by no means possible to make up for it by relying on our bravery, especially when the distance between the two sides is so close.

Things are frozen here, Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo immediately looked at it, looking very relaxed, General Huyan was very nervous here, the words had been said just now, if you don't do it, it will definitely be embarrassing, but if you can't win, it's not just a shame.

"Why do we have to make the atmosphere here so tense, we are originally friendly neighbors, because some small things are not worth it to do this, this is still my Tuguhun grassland, it just so happened that I transported a few fat sheep from the royal court, why don't I let my people roast it, let's just have this beautiful scenery, isn't it the most beautiful thing for everyone to turn war into jade silk?"

Midu Khan saw that the situation here was deadlocked, as the new Khan of Tuyuhun, and the real owner of this land, he could not let this war start, since the last time the Tang Dynasty was finished, Tuyuhun has not recovered so far, many people in the country have no place to graze, if you let the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fight again, then the battlefield will definitely be in the territory of Tuyuhun, even if you surrender to the Tang Dynasty now, Tuyuhun's losses will rise sharply, so the war between the two empires, The last to disappear was Tuyuhun, how could he let such a thing happen?

After Tuyuhun Khan's words were finished, Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong still had the same expressions just now, and they didn't have any intention of answering, they were also very nervous at the moment, but for the sake of the national prestige of the Tang Dynasty, they couldn't take the lead in answering this word, every action on a diplomatic occasion was very important.

"I have long heard that your cattle and sheep on the Tuyuhun grassland are fat and juicy, and since this is the case, I will be bothered."

The corners of General Huyan's mouth twitched, and he analyzed all the realities, and finally he felt that he could not win, and if he continued to stalemate like this, the only shame would be the Tubo side, and it was much better to come down from this step than anything.

"Wait..."

Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly Lord Zeng stood up, and Changsun Chong didn't know what to do on his face, but he also felt in his heart that it was not the right time for Lord Zeng to stand up.

We are already the first to take the lead, we have come to a good start, and people are already soft, at this time, we can't toss things, we can't do anything to deceive people too much, not to mention that the other party is not much worse than us, but it is not the kind of weak country that lets us handle it casually.

"This official came from the capital, and was ordered by the emperor to erect a monument here, and the emperor's order has not yet been fulfilled, so he does not dare to slack off."

After Lord Zeng's words came out, Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo also understood, they had to finish their business first, and set up a monument on the border of Tuyuhun, which is also the right of the suzerain, and when foreigners pass through here, you will not only enter the land of Tuyuhun, but also the vassal state of my Datang, in other words, after crossing this boundary monument, it is basically equivalent to entering the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty.

For this kind of work, the people of Tuyuhun are also very opposed, they are the masters of this land, and now they are smashing a sign of the Tang Dynasty, which can be seen every morning and evening, which is also a painful torture for them, but if there is no this brand, the 150,000 troops of Tubo would have been killed long ago, are you willing to suffer such torture? Or do you want to become a slave of the Tibetans?

"Angels are at their own devices."

General Huyan was unhappy, but he didn't want to make things worse here, when he was the most embarrassed just now, he had already figured out the situation here, and he couldn't beat others, it didn't make sense to say these useless words, not to mention that he had read Tuyuhun and the Tang Dynasty's national letters, and now Tuyuhun was a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, even if they didn't let the monument be erected, there was no way to change all this.

"Gunshot."

General Huyan went to the tent next to him to rest, and Midu Khan had already asked people to prepare the whole sheep for roasting, but when they heard these two words, both the general and Midu Khan felt the sound of the earth shaking.

Twenty ballistas were fired at the same time, and the shells landed almost simultaneously in the distance, of course, they were not adjusted to the maximum range, and in order to maintain the suppression of Tubo and Tuyuhun, they exploded a few hundred meters away.

Looking at the smoke in the distance, General Huyan's face flickered, could this be the power of Datang's secret weapon?

The troops in Tibet also saw this scene, fortunately they endured it just now, if we couldn't help but go up and fight with them just now, these shells fell into our crowd, and I don't know how many people died at this time.

"The edict of the Tang Emperor said ......"

Although Lord Zeng's voice was not very loud, it was also sonorous and powerful, and many people around him heard the emperor's holy decree, and the faces of the Tang soldiers were naturally glorious, but there was a trace of humiliation on the faces of the Tuyuhun soldiers.

As for the soldiers of the Tubo Kingdom next to them, their faces are not comfortable, it turns out that this is the territory of Tuyuhun, they want to bully Tuyuhun and bully, now there is a boundary monument of the Tang Dynasty here, if you dare to cross this boundary monument, Lord Zeng said very clearly just now, it is equivalent to entering the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will hold all the responsibilities accountable.

Another is the establishment of the Tuyuhun Protectorate, which also made the Tubo people feel the crisis, if the Tang Dynasty just erected a stone monument, then they have nothing to worry about, and when the time is ripe, we can also cross the river, and then continue to annex Tuyuhun.

But now the capital has been set up in the southern region of Tuyuhun, and the Tang Dynasty will also station two thousand troops here, although the number of two thousand troops is not much, and they can't do anything, but it is a symbol, if the Tubo army dares to do something to these two thousand people, then the Tang Empire behind these two thousand people will not look at it.
