Chapter 542: Gao Chang's Attitude

When he was less than twenty miles away from Gaochang Kingdom, an accident happened.

All were on a normal march at that time, and who knew that on the left side of the army appeared hundreds of cavalrymen......

"Pass my order, the whole army should not indiscriminately strengthen the protection of Lord Zhao."

Su Dingfang is a person who came down from the battlefield, this kind of small scene doesn't matter to him, he still can't figure out who the other party is, and the realm that should be there still has to be, but Su Dingfang feels that this trip is definitely not so peaceful, Gao Changguo can take in Xue Yantuo Khan, which is obviously not the same as us.

Zhao Guangtai is a civil official, although he comes from the Tang Dynasty, but he has never seen such a situation, he has long heard people say that after leaving the Yumen Pass, what situation here will have to be left to fate, and many people here will draw their swords at every turn.

People in Chang'an City have a delusion, we are people from the Tang Dynasty, and when we reach the boundary of this kind of small country, they will definitely not dare to do anything to us, but Lord Zhao came here in person, only to know that it is a mistake, there is no place in front of the village and no store in the back, this is the easiest place to start.

When he was less than five hundred meters away from the army, Su Dingfang was about to order his subordinates to start fighting, who knew that these hundreds of people quickly grabbed their horses, and then turned around and ran north.

"Do you want to chase you, sir?"

The soldiers under his command are ready, and now the distance is not very far, as long as it is ordered by Su Dingfang, then they are sure that they can catch up, the enemy's war horses that have been observed just now are not on the same level as ours, if they really pursue, they will see the results within an hour.

What's more, we also have sounding balloons, and the people in the sky can analyze the direction of their progress, and on this Gobi Desert, we can also turn around and intercept them first.

"These people are not important, the most important thing is to hand in the credentials, order the brothers to continue to be vigilant, and send sentry posts around."

Su Dingfang shook his head, in case this is the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, then we will follow the other party's path, and now we still have to continue to advance towards Gaochangguo, just a thief, if we let them affect our progress, it would be a shame to say it.

"Don't be afraid, these people shouldn't dare to do anything to us, they just harass us."

Su Dingfang rode his horse to Lord Zhao's carriage.

"In the general's opinion, who are they?"

Zhao Yuantai said in shock, where had he seen this kind of posture in Chang'an City, and suddenly a large number of people came from the right side, and it seemed that they were going to fight with them, but who knew that they would run back when they rushed to five hundred meters.

"It's not Xue Yantuo Khan's people, it's Gao Changguo's people, now Gaochang has not received our state letter, after receiving our state letter, it is estimated that they will begin to be embarrassed, according to what the state letter says, then they and Xue Yantuo Khan still have a good personal relationship, but if they don't do it, it will offend our Tang Dynasty, so I estimate that they want to make trouble for us, let us retreat, as long as the state letter is not handed over, then they don't have to do anything."

Su Dingfang made a bold guess, of course, this is just a guess, where those people came from just now, there is no way to verify, so Su Dingfang is ready to go his own way, the more you don't let us go, we will go over to submit the credentials in the next month.

"Will they really attack next?"

Zhao Yuantai said with some worry, maybe he gave a warning just now, but if he saw the Tang army continue to advance, maybe they would really attack.

"Your Highness said that General Ben can't find trouble, but if someone bullies us, then we can't be idle, we have to let them know that I am a Tang Army."

When he heard the word attack, Su Dingfang's face immediately became interested, His Royal Highness did explain it like that, so we didn't dare to do anything, and we managed ourselves like a little daughter-in-law, but if they really dared to attack, Lao Tzu made them regret coming to this world.

Zhao Yuantai saw Su Dingfang's expression, and immediately knew that he had asked the wrong question, as a civil official of the imperial court, he did not want to make enemies everywhere, not to mention that now the treasury of the imperial court has a trend of bottoming out, if it fights with Gao Changguo again, then the status of the military attachés of the imperial court will rise, will they still have a bright future?

In addition to the civil and military disputes, this Lord Zhao also supports Su Dingfang's idea, the Tang Dynasty is now the Celestial Empire, if people attack us and we don't fight back, it will really damage the prestige of the Celestial Empire, and after returning to Chang'an City, the emperor will not spare him if he finds out all this.

"General Su, please rest assured, everything in front of you should be a testimony for you, but we should also strictly abide by the teachings of His Royal Highness Taisun, and we must not easily provoke a war."

Lord Zhao's words made Su Dingfang very satisfied, as long as someone testified to us, then many things would be easy to say, Su Dingfang immediately sent an order to let the whole army prepare for battle.

Su Dingfang also explained to Lord Zhao, when the other party enters the range of 200 meters, we have to prepare to attack, we don't say that we don't do it first, as long as the other party does not report that it enters the range of 200 meters, it can be regarded as the other party's intention on us, we must preemptively.

This is the rule set by Li Xiang, although Lord Zhao doesn't know much, but by asking other soldiers also know Li Xiang's rules, since it is stipulated by His Royal Highness Taisun, Lord Zhao will never stop it, but repeatedly told Su Dingfang to see the boundary of 200 meters clearly, but he must not reduce this distance, in the final analysis, he still does not want the war to break out.

Because of this incident just now, the nerves in the team were obviously more nervous than before, and after walking for about half an hour, they were already able to see the border army of Gao Changguo, which was already full of soldiers at this moment, but they did not find the envoy of Gao Changguo.

Lord Zhao and Su Dingfang glanced at each other, our guess just now was correct, whether it was Xue Yantuo's Khan or Gao Changguo, they didn't want the Datang State Letter to be handed over, and they would definitely create all kinds of trouble in the middle, according to the previous agreement, the envoys of Gao Changguo should have already arrived at the border to greet them, but now they have not found the envoy flag......

At this time, more than thirty cavalrymen from Gao Changguo came over from the border.

Su Dingfang also brought more than 20 cavalry under his command over, and the two sides had to complete the first conversation near the border......
