"Are you saying you don't know about our envoys from the Tang Dynasty?"

After listening to the other party's words, Su Dingfang frowned and said, the other party came up and asked what they were doing.

"We are the border defenders of Gaochang, we found you yesterday, but out of respect for the Tang Dynasty, we did not intercept you, but now that you are close to our border, please stop for the time being, if it is really as you said, the envoys of the two countries have already agreed, then our envoys should also arrive soon, but before our envoys do not arrive, please do not continue to advance towards our borders."

A general of Gao Changguo said righteously, and his subordinates were also vigilant, as if Datang's army was an aggressor, of course, this is also very normal, in the past two years, Datang's army has not been idle, and almost combed the surrounding thorns, but the relationship between Gao Changguo and Datang is not bad, when it is time to give gifts, it is not some broken things, they are all very valuable things, and Datang's caravan also passed through Gaochangguo to go farther away.

"I can't do this matter, I need to go back and discuss it with our envoy, we will stop for a while in the meantime, but we must maintain good communication between the two sides."

Su Dingfang thought for a while and said, the supplies prepared by the team are almost gone, at most it will last for three or five days, if the other party's greeting personnel have not come during these three or five days, then we are likely to run out of food.

"Please rest assured, general, I will leave a few soldiers waiting here, and we both stay where we are for the time being."

The general of Gaochangguo quickly agreed, and Su Dingfang also figured out this in his heart, the other party just wanted to stabilize us and let us not enter the territory of Gaochangguo.

Su Dingfang also left a few people, and then went to Lord Zhao's carriage and reported the situation just now.

"It seems that our guess is true, they don't want us to go over for the time being, they just want to delay for a while, we don't know the situation here, how long will it take to get from the border to their royal city?"

The other party's request is normal, we can't fight now, if we fight now, it will be tantamount to provoking a war between the two countries, but we can't wait here stupidly, we have to calculate the time of their back and forth, if it is past this point in time, it is that they want to play to the end.

"When I came, I asked some merchants who passed by here, it will be seven days at most, but we have already made an appointment with their court, and their envoys should have set off from the capital a long time ago, and it has been a day since our appointment."

Su Dingfang calculated the days, even if their envoys wanted to delay the time, at most they could delay it for a few days.

"Let's give them a face, let them report to the royal city of Gaochang Kingdom immediately, I have their reply from Wang Cheng here, you can show it to their border generals, and give them seven days."

Lord Zhao thought for a while and said, let's do this to be considered to be benevolent and righteous, but Su Dingfang is a little dissatisfied, does anyone dare to let our Datang army wait all these years? However, it was Lord Zhao who was in charge here, and Su Dingfang thought about it for a while, and there was no other way than this method, so he could only do it first.

The handover between the two sides is relatively smooth, Gao Changguo's border guard is General Mo Lun, after he saw Gao Changguo's reply, he immediately sent someone to report to Wang Cheng, and promised that there would be a reply within six days, but whether they were real or acting, Su Dingfang didn't dare to draw conclusions now, and after returning to our military camp, Su Dingfang ordered his men to set up camp.

In addition to the enemy's sneak attack, there are wolves on the Gobi Desert, of course, thousands of us are naturally not afraid of wolves, but if the enemy is a sneak attack, we really have no danger to defend.

Lord Zhao told Su Dingfang about his worries, who knew that Su Dingfang laughed, and took Lord Zhao to look at our ballista on the spot.

"Lord Zhao, please see, we brought out a total of thirty-two cannons this time, placed around the barracks, if they really want to sneak attack, I will protect them and they don't even know their parents, not to mention that we still have a lot of flowering mines, each soldier has several, even if they rush to our surroundings, these hundreds of flowering mines thrown out, can anyone rush up?"

Su Dingfang happily introduced his army, and Lord Zhao was also very impressed by him, indeed as Su Dingfang said, in such a defensive situation, if the other party can still rush in, it will really be similar to the heavenly soldiers and generals.

"General Su's ability is admired, but for the sake of safety, let's still get in touch with the army roaming the grassland, and send scouts around, as well as our merchants from the Tang Dynasty, if you meet them from Gaochang, please come to the barracks to talk about the situation in Gaochang."

Although Lord Zhao is a civil official, but these things are to the point, Su Dingfang naturally has no reason to stop him, and hurriedly ordered to go down, let people wait next to the official road, if there are really businessmen coming, through them can also understand a little bit of the situation.

Of course, what these people say is true or false, it depends on our judgment, although some people are businessmen of the Tang Dynasty, but the businessmen are chasing profits, if someone opens a high enough price, it is enough for these people to lie to the Tang army, and the only thing that can be believed in this place on the border is their own eyes.

Some multinational businessmen are in this country today and will be in that country tomorrow, they only have money in their eyes, and their sense of belonging to the country is very small, which is also one aspect of the consensus reached by Su Dingfang and Lord Zhao.

That night, one-third of the soldiers were on duty, and there was indeed a wolf howl around, but our soldiers were all trained, and when Xue Yantuo was fighting, they had also encountered wolves, but relying on the chain crossbow in their hands, hundreds of large wolves did not take advantage of it, not to mention these small wolves around.

In one night, he did not encounter any enemies, but instead shot dozens of wild wolves, which can be regarded as a great gain......
