Meng Huocheng.

This city is said to be the pass built by Meng Shu during the Three Kingdoms, and is now the territory of the Yi department.

It is said to be a city, but in fact there is only one stone gate, which is not high, and a beacon tower has been built on the mountain next to it, which has been abandoned for many years. After the stone gate, there is a large plateau meadow in the south, and the green grass under the towering snow-capped mountains forms a unique scenery.

On this day, a Yi child was herding sheep, climbed high and looked into the distance, and saw ten people riding horses from the north.

"Little baby." A big man of the Yi tribe, dressed in a robe made of bird feathers, stepped forward and asked in Yi language, "Let your leader come to greet you, the princess of Tubo is here." ”

The child then turned his head and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The big man of Yi took out a piece of barley naan from his arms and threw it over, and said, "Didn't you hear?" Call your leaders. ”

The boy picked up the barley naan, patted it and stuffed it into his arms, drove the sheep past the gate of Monghu, and led the way. From time to time, he turned his head and looked curiously at the petite woman in the team, as if he was very curious about the Tibetan princess.

It turned out that he was herding sheep for the leader of the Yi tribe, and he went all the way back to the felt cloth tent in the meadow, and reported to the leader Abu Duyu: "Another Tubo princess is coming." ”

"Again?"

Abudu was very puzzled, and rushed to the tent in person, and saw that the dozen or so people were surrounded by a young girl, and became more and more suspicious, and immediately ordered the mobilization of the people and surrounded this group.

"What is this?"

"I think you are fake princesses of Tibet." Abdu said, "Because the real princess has passed here two days ago. ”

Nalan Zhence immediately stepped forward and said, "I am the princess, the eldest daughter of Tubo Zampu. ”

She was washed up with the boat in the Dadu River to the tidal flats downstream, met the Yi people of the small fort department, gathered some routs, and finally arrived here after a lot of hardships.

Abu said: "The princess is not only these guards, the one I saw two days ago has the style of the eldest daughter of Zampu." Those guards and cavalry, all of them are strong......"

Nalan Zhen suddenly interrupted, "Where did they go?" ”

Abdu said: "Of course, it is to escort the princess to Nanzhao for marriage." ”

"That's Tang Jun pretending."

Nalan Zhen's suspicions all along were finally confirmed at this time, that Tang army was really so bold, she raised her voice and said, "They are going south along the Lingguan Road to attack Nanzhao. ”

Abudu was stunned, wanting to say something, but opened his mouth and had nothing to say, just looked at her with a look of "I don't believe it anyway".

Nalan Zhen then took out a scroll, unfolded it, and said, "This is Zampu's edict, which can prove my identity." ”

Without waiting for Abdul to react, she had already given orders one after another.

"The Tang army is pretending to be a Tubo and heading south, I must rush to Daliangshan before they do, and arrange horses and guides for me......"

~~

The Anning River was called Sun Water in the Han Dynasty, and now it is called Yangtze River Water, which flows into the Jinsha River from north to south.

This river valley is probably the direction of the Lingguan Road of the Southern Silk Road.

Tang Jun was walking in the river valley, and when he looked up, he could see the snow-capped mountains on both sides, which should be extremely cold. But it's September, and the valley is still very hot and humid.

After crossing the Dadu River, more and more sergeants fell ill.

Xue Bai only now realized the horror of the miasma.

Miasma is a gas in this primeval mountain forest, where the weather is hot, and dead plants and animals quickly decay, breeding germs and gases that are contained in the air and water. And the environment is humid, and the warm climate makes the harmful gases rise and condense, forming a fog-like existence.

This side of the Anning River Valley is actually quite good, far less hot than after crossing the Jinsha River. However, the soldiers suffered from typhoid fever, heat stroke, poisoning, sores, and malaria in this alternation of hot and cold, and the attrition was extremely serious.

When Xue Bai was in Chang'an, he made a lot of preparations, carrying a large number of medicinal materials in the army, and since the march, he has strictly ordered the soldiers to drink only boiled water, and everyone has a fine gauze mask on their faces.

But he had to admit that he was originally a little underestimated by the miasma, he had been to Yunnan in his previous life, and he did not feel uncomfortable with the climate, that was actually because after the land was changed and reclaimed, a large number of mountains were reclaimed, destroying the environment in which the miasma was formed.

As for today, miasma is still an existence that makes people talk about tiger discoloration.

On this day, while resting, Xue Bai opened his bag, which contained a few barley naan that he had brought from Meng Huocheng.

However, in just two or three days, the naan has already turned green mold, and the breeze blows, and the mold gently swayes, showing strong vitality.

Xue Bai saw that his scalp was numb, and hurriedly threw it aside.

There was a soldier behind him to pick it up.

"Don't pick it up, you can't eat it."

"I'm hungry."

Xue Bai stepped on the naan, shook his head and said, "You can't eat moldy things if you're hungry, I ask the festival commander to slaughter some more sheep today." ”

He was actually a little uncomfortable, dizzy, stuffy, and sweaty on his neck, probably a little typhoid fever under the alternation of hot and cold. What worries him even more is that if it is malaria, he is afraid that it will be difficult to carry it.

"Xue Lang is not feeling well?"

But it was Gao Shi who came over and asked, after all, he was a literati and his mind was more delicate.

Xue Bai nodded and said, "It should be a little sick, I'll look for a military doctor later." ”

"I took you over, and now there are many sick people." Gao Shi raised his hand and talked with Xue Bai as he walked, and said: "Further on, when we reach the area of Daliang Mountain, there are more people, the climate will be better, and Xue Lang can rest there until he recovers." ”

The area of Daliang Mountain is the junction of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Nanzhao.

Those who live here are Yi people, belong to one of the six edicts, when the Southern Zhao surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty set up the Jianchang Mansion here, and the government was governed in Xilu County. Now Ge Luofeng rebelled and conquered 32 large and small Yizhou, including Jianchang Mansion and Xilu County.

To put it bluntly, after all, it is still a place of bondage, and there is not enough control.

"There is miasma in unpopulated places, and when you get to populated places, you are afraid of being alerted by Nanzhao." Xue Bai said, "Jianchang Mansion is lost, Xian Yu Zhongtong takes the five-foot road to the south, if you want to cross most of the Nanzhao, I don't know how many soldiers have the plague." ”

Gao Shi turned his head to look, and saw that Xue Bai's face was pale and weak, and he had the heart to encourage him, pointed to the barren river valley in front of him, and asked: "Xue Lang can think of taking the Lingguan Road to enter Nanzhao, should he know the origin of this road?" ”

"Cultivated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to open another road from Chengdu to Yunnan at that time, and the courtiers advised him to stop. However, Sima Xiangru strengthened the determination of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty with an article "The Elders of Nanshu", "There must be extraordinary people in the world, and then there will be extraordinary things; There are extraordinary things, and then there are extraordinary merits', Sima Xiangru then built the road with 2,000 soldiers, which lasted 23 years, and passed the spiritual road, the bridge Sun Shui, and the capital of Qiong. As a result, the goods of Shu can be exported to the southwestern countries along this road, laying the territory of the Han Dynasty in Yunnan. ”

This is probably Gao Shi's emotion along the way, and poets are always easy to sigh.

The "Qiongdu" he said is Jianchang Mansion and Xilu County, which have now been lost again.

"Standing here, you can feel the hardship of the ancestors to brave the wind and rain, open up the territory and expand the territory, our Tang Dynasty, is passed down from generation to generation, now the Southern Zhao rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, the four Yi were in turmoil, and the burden of maintaining the unification of the territory fell on our generation."

Xue Bai said: "Yes." ”

Although he was also inspired by Gao Shi, he really didn't have much energy. It's Gao Shi, although he is old, his physique is good, and he has no disease and no disaster all the way.

On the same day, Xue Bai went to the doctor in the army and said that he was typhoid fever, not malaria. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was afraid.

On this march, they walked in the river valley during the day and stayed in the wetlands by the river at night, letting the wind blow, it was difficult to avoid typhoid fever, and half of the sergeants and soldiers of the army fell, even the tall and strong Guan Chonghei was no exception.

After Xue Bai fell asleep, Gao Shi's generous statement still sounded in his head, but what he heard in his ears was Guan Chonghe's painful humming. When he woke up, Xue Bai only felt dizzy and sore.

"Lang Jun, you're sick." Diao Bing said, "I'll carry you, right?" ”

"You don't have to carry it, not yet."

Diao Bing hurriedly said: "Our brother eats Lang Jun's and drinks Lang Jun's, but he has not achieved an inch. Lang Jun raised us, and he couldn't let us have nowhere to use our strength. ”

Xue Bai laughed when he heard it, and said, "If you want to make meritorious contributions, I am in danger." ”

Diao Bing didn't follow, and Diao Geng stepped forward to pick up Xue Bai, and carried him away without saying a word.

Xue Bai originally felt that this would damage his image, but he was really sleepy and soon fell asleep. Indeed, he was very ill and groggy.

After marching like this for several days, the Tang army arrived at Daliang Mountain, Xilu County.

The ancient name of Xilu County is Qiongdu, it was originally the country of Qiongdu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the country of Qiongdu and set up a county, soon, Qiongdu collapsed, became a swamp ocean, it is Qionghai, there is Lushan Mountain by the Qionghai Sea, the west of the mountain is the county seat of Xilu, and now it is under the jurisdiction of Nanzhao.

Geluo Fengjian wall cleared the field, concentrated troops in Taihe City, Xilu County garrison is not much, Wang Zhongsi is not difficult to conquer, but he observed the terrain, the Anning River Valley is in the west of Xilu County, the county seat does not occupy the main road, and the county is intact, if it is not for the transfer of grain and grass, it is also possible to bypass Xilu County.

The Tang army did not enter the city, but still stayed on the bank of the Anning River, and only let Xue Bai take some people into Xilu County, and defrauded the supply in the name of the princess of Tubo, in order to pass smoothly.

"Xue Lang is seriously ill, he can rest in Xilu County, and after he recovers, he will go south to join me, or return directly to Yizhou." Wang Zhongsi explained that he was also a little uncomfortable, probably because he was not adapted.

Xue Bai didn't refuse, he was worried that the typhoid fever and cold would weaken his body, and it would be even more difficult to survive in this miasma-ridden environment.

He changed his costume, combed his hair into a particularly high bun, led the men, and led Luo Chai's family of three and a team of Tibetan captives who were recruited by him into the city.

It can be seen that Xilu County surrendered without a fight, the city gate is intact, and the person responsible for guarding Jianchang Mansion is Zhao Yandeng, the chief of Nanzhao.

Zhao Yandeng knew that the Duke of Tubo was coming, and although Nanzhao did not want to become the vassal king of Tubo, he had to take advantage of the momentum of Tubo now.

"I've seen the princess, and I'm not welcome, please." Zhao Gandeng could speak Chinese, but not Tubo, so he brought an interpreter with him.

This interpreter was a Tang official who was captured by him and could speak Tibetan, so at this time Zhao Yandeng still spoke Chinese.

Xue Bai understood at first, but he still waited for the interpreter to speak before he showed a clear expression and motioned for Luo Chai to speak.

"The princess not only came to marry Nanzhao, but also brought soldiers and horses to support Nanzhao to resist the Tang army, and asked the big chief to enlarge the army to the south."

"It's nature." Zhao Yandeng listened to the interpreter's relay and agreed.

In fact, Xiang Yele, the great minister of Tubo, has now deployed his troops in the Langqiong, and it is very likely that Nanzhao will really need the Tubo army to attack the Tang army.

These are things that have been agreed for a long time, and they will soon be said.

Zhao Yandeng looked at Xue Bai again, and felt that this young man's appearance was handsome, and he didn't look like a Tubo person.

"Who is this?"

Xue Bai's voice was hoarse, and he said in Tubo: "Tell him who I am, cough cough cough ......."

Luo Chai hurriedly said, "Minister don't speak anymore." This is Lun Ruozan, the minister of the Tibetan Imperial History, the sister-in-law of the Geer clan. ”

"Disrespectful, disrespectful."

"The minister is sick, he wants to rest in Xilu City, please arrange a place for the chieftain, and if there are injuries and illnesses that will stay outside the city, please send food. Those who were left in the camp were those who had malaria, so they could just leave food outside the camp. ”

"Don't worry, it will be arranged."

During the construction of Lingguan Road in the Western Han Dynasty, a large number of soldiers stayed in Qiongdu, becoming the ancestors of the local Han people, and then the combination of Yi and Han, making Xilu County a deeper place in the western Sichuan Plateau, at least a lot of cultivated land was cultivated, and the miasma was much lighter than in ancient times.

Wang Zhongsi continued to lead the troops after a little rest, while Xue Bai stayed in Xilu County to recuperate, and there were more than 300 soldiers who were too sick to hurry to stay in the camp outside the city, which was managed by Guan Chongsi and Quhuan.

Xue Bai slept for two days, and on the third day, he finally felt a little clearer.

He expected Wang Zhongsi to cross the Xisha River, and it would take five days to rest and recuperate, so he prepared to leave the next day.

But on the same day, more than 50 horsemen also rushed to Xilu County.

~~

Nalan Zhen went all the way south, and saw a lot of nameless graves left by the Tang Army on the way, as well as the corpses of sheep. Those sheep died of disease, and the Tang army did not dare to eat them, so they had to be thrown by the river to rot and stink.

Finally, she chased to Daliang Mountain and rushed to Xilu City.

Soon, she met Zhao Yandeng, the first Tibetan official she had seen after the defeat who had the strength to transmit information to Taihe City in a timely manner.

"I'm afraid the big chief won't believe it, but the princess Tubo that the big chief saw a few days ago is fake, and I am the real princess of Tubo." Nalan Zhen took out the edict of Tubo Zampu, handed it to Zhao Yandeng, and said, "That's a Tang army, which is going south to attack Taihe City. ”

Zhao Yandeng is the chief of Nanzhao, and the importance of this matter is far higher than that of the loose tribes of Tufan, and he took the edict and read it carefully, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

"How so? I always knew that the princess of Tubo would come, but did I know that it was fake? ”

"How was the Great Chief deceived?"

"They don't look like they're fake." Zhao Yan Deng then told the whole thing from the beginning, "There was a young man who entered the city with the princess and the guards, and he looked like he was commanding......"

It was not easy for the interpreter to translate "Yi Zhi Qi Envoy" into the Tibetan language.

Nalan Zhen stood up excitedly and said, "It's that person!" ”

It was the traitor of the Yak Department who attacked the Big Tree Fort, and also designed to trick Shang Lezan into the ambush villain, named Xue Bai.

"He's still in town?"

"I live in a post house on the west side of the city."

"Take him." Nalan Zhen said loudly.

She has come this way, and has gone through hardships, but she has also grown a lot, and now many people support her, including Abdu, the leader of the Yi tribe in Meng Huocheng.

The group hurriedly led the troops to the post house, Nalan Zhen thought that she was about to be ashamed, and her eyes flashed with excitement.

Walking through the corridor, the door of a guest house in front of you is closed.

Nalan Zhen motioned for the soldiers to surround first, and then raised her hand and pointed. With a knife in his hand, Abdu strode forward and kicked open the gate with one kick.

However, it was empty, and there was no Xue Bai.

Nalan Zhen was disappointed, walked into the house, and saw that there was still a bowl of medicinal soup on the case, and she touched the wall of the bowl with her hand, which was warm.

"People haven't been gone for long, chase!"

After she gave the order, she picked up the medicinal soup and smelled it, thinking that this Tang man was really weak and couldn't help it, and he fell ill so quickly.

But, how did Xue Bai get the news and escape?

Zhao Yandeng, the chief of Nanzhao who guards this place, speaks Chinese, and he looks like a Han person, could it be him?

Thinking of this, Nalan Zhen shook her head, secretly thinking that if Zhao Yan Deng betrayed Nanzhao, it would be good to arrest her directly, and there was no need to do more.

~~

Although I didn't know where Xue Bai was hiding for a while, the Tang army still had a camp outside the city, so Zhao Gandeng mobilized 2,000 troops to prepare to get rid of the wounded and sick soldiers of the Tang army.

In the evening, a general asked, "Chieftain, do you want to wait until dawn to send troops?" ”

"No, Xue Bai has already escaped, and it is very likely that he will go outside the city to report the news, so he must do it as soon as possible. Raid their camp overnight and kill them all. ”

The Nanzhao generals then took the order and left.

Zhao Yandeng only had time to invite Nalan Zhen, Abudu and others to the governor's office to discuss and ask about more details.

When he learned that the Tang army had defeated the Tubo army in Dashuzhai, Zhao Yandeng was worried, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

It's best to start another war on the southern border of Jiannan, and the blood will be shed.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yandeng glanced at Abudu, who didn't look smart, and knew that this idea couldn't be said to Abudu. The tribes living on the tripartite border certainly do not want another war.

Zhao Gandeng and Abudu are actually quite familiar, in the past, Nanzhao surrendered to Tang, and there were often businessmen who traveled between Shu and Nanzhao on the Lingguan Road......

"Fortunately, the princess is safe and has arrived in time, and I have sent someone south to inform Taihe City to be prepared. When the Tang army outside the city is killed, troops will also be sent south to chase the main force of the Tang army. ”

"The Great Chief saved me, and I will definitely praise the Great Chief and thank the Great Chief." Nalan Zhen said, she didn't forget to win over Zhao Yandeng.

Abdul yawned and bowed his head, as if he were sitting on the edge of a sleep.

At this moment, a Nanzhao soldier rushed back and said, "Great Chief, it's gone!" ”

"Tell me clearly, what's missing?"

"Those Tang troops are gone!"

Zhao Yan Deng stood up in surprise and asked, "They are all wounded soldiers, where can they go?" ”

As he spoke, more than 20 Yi warriors under Abdu's command also rushed in and hurried towards Abdu.

Zhao Yandeng had already sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly heard a killing shout outside the house.

Suddenly.

With a "poof", blood splashed on the window paper.

Zhao Yandeng came back to his senses and noticed that the Yi warriors of Abdu were all holding knives in their hands.

"Protect me!"

He hurriedly pulled Nalan Zhen away, and at the same time reacted, it was Abdu who sent a message to Xue Bai.

The next moment, Abdu swept away Fang Cai's sleepy appearance, took a knife, and pounced directly on Zhao Yandeng, slashing down.

Zhao Yandeng was stabbed in the back and ran away, but his guards reacted and hurriedly rushed forward to save him.

They fought their way out of the house.

However, when he turned his head to look, he saw that the outside had been surrounded by the Tang army.

~~

Nalan Zhen didn't understand.

She didn't know how the Tang army appeared in the governor's mansion in the city, even if Abudu helped, but why did Abudu betray Tubo?

In the chaos, she only heard the sound of the knife entering the flesh.

Finally, she felt a burst of fishy heat on her face, but Zhao Yandeng, who had resisted, was also hacked to death on the spot, and blood splashed her face.

Nalan Zhenruo said that she was not afraid that it was fake, so many people died around her at once, she only felt hairy in her heart, and she was so frightened that she couldn't stop trembling.

"Ahem, ahem."

Suddenly there was a cough in front of her, the kind of cough that had a dry throat after typhoid fever.

Strangely, the voice was not loud, but after a few coughs, the voices around him became quieter.

"She is the princess of Tibet, save her life."

Someone said something in Chinese, and his voice was buzzing, and he could hear that his nose was stuffed badly.

Nalan Zhen looked up and saw a man from the Han family walking towards him, he was not as weak as she imagined, but he was heroic in his gestures. But it is also true that he is sick, his face is pale, he is holding a handkerchief in his hand, and he is blowing his nose.

And with that ridiculous look came a terrifying killing aura.

Two more corpses fell in the courtyard, and except for her, the Tang army had killed all the resistants.

She knew who he was, Xue Bai.

He should have almost died at her hands, but he inexplicably took control of the Jianchang Governor's Mansion.

"Why?!" Nalan Zhen turned her head to Abdu and shouted, "Why did you betray me?!" ”

"Hey."

Abu was not ashamed, but smiled, looking even less intelligent.

Nalan Zhen was furious, turned to Xue Bai, and said, "I don't accept it!" ”

"Because, Meng Huocheng doesn't want Nanzhao to split with the Tang Dynasty." Xue Bai replied in his hoarse voice, he spoke Tubo, but he was very not fluent.

He started learning it when he was in Chang'an, and although he wrote down a lot of words, it was a pity that the accent was not the same. I didn't dare to use it to pretend to be a Tubo, but I could use it to communicate with Nalan Zhen.

"You know what? From the beginning of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to repair the Lingguan Road, the location of Meng Huocheng is the road of merchants, and the city gate is repaired, which is an important commercial pass. Nanzhao rebelled against the Tang, what did they eat? ”

Nalan Zhen turned to Abdu and said, "Zampu will not forgive you for your betrayal, and Tubo will send troops to destroy your entire clan!" ”

"No, it won't." Abdul Road.

In Meng Huocheng, Xue Bai had already made it clear to him.

Now, Tubo is losing on the battlefield of the river meander, and the Geshu Han soldiers refer to the nine bends of the Yellow River; Although Nanzhao rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, the Tang army also attacked Nanzhao on a large scale, if the Lingguan Road was taken to destroy the Nanzhao, the Tang Dynasty was bound to operate in western Sichuan in the future, and how many business trips would have to pass, and the local chieftains had to be supported.

Abudu didn't seem to be smart, but he still had a clear idea of how to make a profit for the tribe.

Wasn't Nanzhao supported by Datang? He Abdu is much more obedient than Ge Luofeng......

Nalan Zhen suddenly figured it out, it turned out that Xue Bai had rebelled against Abdu when he was in Meng Shucheng.

In other words, before she arrived in Xilu City, Xue Bai had already received the news and was ready to transfer soldiers and horses into the city. The Tang army was likely to be ambushed outside the city, and when Zhao Gandeng transferred his troops to leave, Abdu sent his men to open the city gate and welcome the Tang army into the city.

She didn't almost kill Xue Bai at all, but fell into Xue Bai's calculations from beginning to end.

"Kill me!"

Nalan Zhen shouted and crashed into the blade of a Tang general in front of her, but was held down by a Tang sergeant.

"You don't want to die." Xue Bai walked up to her, squatted down, coughed lightly twice, and said, "I can see that you really want to hold power, and I will give you a chance." ”

"Ahh

Nalan Zhen took a sip, Xue Bai had already taken precautions, and flexibly turned sideways to avoid it.

He was not annoyed, and said, "I got the news that some of the nine ministers are going to betray the ruler belt Zhudan. ”

"How do you know?" Nalan Zhen was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" ”

As soon as she asked, she immediately realized that she seemed too concerned.

"You know that, too?" Xue Bai really caught this keenly, and said, "The reason why I know is because they contacted Datang, what about you?" ”

"I've heard rumors that Benden and Sinoluo have rebellious intentions."

Xue Bai smiled, knowing that Nalan Zhen had fallen for the plan of the rebels in Tubo.

"What are you laughing at?" Nalan Zhen immediately caught the meaning of his smile and hurriedly asked, "Aren't they them?" Who's that? ”

"Ahem, ahem."

"Damn tuberculosis ghost, tell this princess!"

"What do I say?" Xue Bai stopped coughing, put away the smile on his face, and said coldly: "You are my prisoner, find out your identity." ”

Nalan Zhen was furious, but she didn't want to die again.

She really wanted to know the secret that Xue Bai said, who among the nine ministers colluded with Tang? She also wanted to know what he meant by giving her a chance.

~~

Wang Zhongsi went all the way south, and did not choose to cross the Jinsha River at Yanbian, but went west along the river to find a better place to cross the river.

His goal was Taihe City, located between Cangshan and Erhai Lake, and if he crossed the river in the east, it would be easy for Nanzhao to detect it.

On September 28, he marched to a section of the estuary, across the river is the Sangchuan boundary of Nanzhao, from which he crossed the river, and went south to bypass Cangshan.

After the trek along the way, he finally reached this point, and Wang Zhongji ordered that most of the cattle and sheep in the army be slaughtered and made into leather bags, and at the same time rest for three days to let the soldiers eat enough.

On the third day, I heard a faint cry coming from the other side of the Jinsha River.

Wang Zhongsi walked to the river, raised the clairvoyant mirror to look, and saw more than ten people standing on the south bank pointing and shouting at this side, and those people were wearing leather armor, obviously people in the army.

His heart sank immediately, and he secretly wondered if he had been found at the last moment after all the hard work he had traveled so far?

After a while, he saw the men on the south shore put down their boats, and six of them disembarked and rowed this way.

"Jieshuai, what should I do?"

"Let them come." Wang Zhongsi was still calm, and said, "Bring all the Tibetan captives in the army." ”

He knew that the Tubo army was now in Jianchuan, not far from here, and if it was the Tubo people who came secretly, there might be room for salvation......
