It is said that if it weren't for this Tibetan envoy at that time, Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue would not know that King Heng had "come back from the dead" and were raising troops in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. And after this Tibetan envoy was captured by the garrison that night, General Lu took him into custody, which was supposed to be sent to Lanzhou City to be interrogated by the imperial court, but who knew that at noon the next day, there was a murderous corpse in Yumen Pass, and then the plague in the glutinous rice spread, so anxious that General Lu was anxious, how can he remember this?

At this time, hearing Prince Geshu suddenly mention it, General Lu was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, Master Lu next to him hurriedly explained in a whisper, and General Lu finally remembered. At the moment, he didn't move, but asked lightly: "Since Prince Geshu knows this Tibetan envoy, he must also know his intention?"

Prince Geshu shook his head and smiled: "General Lu is wrong, Xiao Wang doesn't know this person, and he has never seen him before, but Xiao Wang knows a little about his intention this time." If Xiao Wang's guess is correct, this person probably claims to be an envoy sent by the lord of Tubo, and wants to take advantage of King Heng's rebellion in Jiangnan to go to Lanzhou City to find someone to discuss the matter of sending troops to the Central Plains. To tell the truth, the person this Tibetan envoy is looking for is actually Xiao Wang. ”

Hearing this, General Lu, Xian Jingyue and Master Lu, who were present, glanced at each other and were alert at the same time. Prince Na Geshu was unimpressed, and continued: "A few months ago, King Heng made a rebellion in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, forcing the King of Thailand stationed in Lanzhou to lead his army back to the Central Plains. Although Xiao Wang was only a businessman, he had a good relationship with the lord of Tubo, so he sent envoys to discuss with Xiao Wang, hoping that Xiao Wang could act as an internal response and help Tubo. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Wang received the letter from the lord of Tubo, he never waited for this Tibetan envoy, and asked someone to inquire afterwards, only to know that he was detained by General Lu of Yumen Pass. Therefore, Xiao Wang took advantage of this time to send food and medicinal materials to the garrison of Yumen Pass, and implored General Lu to raise his noble hand and let go of this Tibetan envoy. ”

General Lu immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted: "I can't imagine that in addition to the Wu'er clan who don't lose eight miles, even Tubo also wants to fish in troubled waters, and he doesn't weigh what kind of catties and taels he is, and all of them are bullied by me Lu Yuanpo?" Master Lu next to him hurriedly took over the conversation and said coldly to Prince Geshu: "Tubo intends to move troops to my Central Plains, and the first thing to bear the brunt is Yumen Pass. What's more, the person this Tibetan envoy wants to see is Your Excellency, if Prince Geshu has no intention of cooperating with that Tubo, he should avoid suspicion. Asking General Lu for someone like this will inevitably make people think about it, but I'm afraid that something is not appropriate. ”

Prince Geshu laughed, shook his head and said: "This master's words are wrong, and it is precisely because Xiao Wang has a clear conscience that he dares to speak out on this matter." If Xiao Wang really had bad intentions, and that Jin Wanjin invited him in the name of the Divine Fire Sect that day, Xiao Wang would have already agreed, so why should he retreat and cooperate with Tubo?"

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes to look at General Lu opposite, and said slowly: "Whether it is Jin Wanjin or the Divine Fire Sect, whether it is Beishi Bali or Tubo, they all regard the garrison of Yumen Pass as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. If Xiao Wang cooperates with them, with the current situation of Yumen Pass, he can watch from the wall, why send this batch of food and medicinal materials?"

Master Lu couldn't help but ask: "Since Prince Geshu has no intention of cooperating with Tibet, why do you bother asking us to ask for this person? Prince Geshu said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is a businessman, although he has no intention of cooperating with Tubo, he does not want to break off the friendship of the lord of Tubo because of this." If he can save the life of this Tibetan envoy this time, it can be regarded as selling a favor to the Tubo lord, and then Xiao Wang will be able to offset the merit with this merit if he refuses Tubo's invitation, so as not to hurt the harmony of both parties. ”

When everyone heard this, they all felt that Prince Geshu's explanation seemed reasonable, but when they thought about it carefully, it seemed a bit far-fetched. If he was worried that his refusal would affect his friendship with the Tubo lord, he could have remedied it in other ways, so why did he have to make a fuss about this Tubo envoy? Then Master Lu snorted coldly and was about to speak, but he heard General Lu suddenly ask: "What is the current situation of those two sergeants who are taking medicine?"

Hearing General Lu's order, the sergeant next to him hurriedly went to the stone stairs of the city wall to inquire, but after a while, several soldiers hurriedly ran up the city wall, and their faces were full of excitement, saying that after the two sergeants infected with the plague took the medicine, their cough had improved greatly, and after taking a pulse, the symptoms were indeed alleviated a lot, which showed that the prescription prescribed by Mr. Mu was indeed symptomatic.

General Lu hurriedly stood up and went to the city wall to look at the two sergeants on the stone stairs, and their complexions were obviously much better than before. However, looking at the open space under the city wall, the six or seven hundred sergeants who had originally gathered had turned into thousands at this time, but it was the thirty or so sergeants who came back with Xian Jingyue and others who spread the news, and the sick sergeants in the left and right barracks heard that the team that went to Jiayuguan for help not only brought back food and medicinal materials, but also found a way to cure the plague.

Seeing the thousands of soldiers under the city wall, making a mess of your words, Mr. Namu couldn't help but say: "If you want to completely cure this 'Belmore disease', you have to take this decoction according to this prescription for three days before you can be cured." General Lu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Prince Geshu and asked, "I wonder where the batch of grain and medicinal materials that Your Excellency has transported this time is now?"

Prince Geshu said with a smile: "Xiao Wang is a Turkic Hu person, this time he came to help the garrison of Yumen Pass, worried that General Lu and the generals would be suspicious, so he asked all his more than 100 people to stay, and he came to visit him first." If General Lu already trusted Xiao Wang now, then Xiao Wang ordered his men to send all the food and medicinal materials. ”

Hearing Prince Geshu's words, everyone immediately understood what he meant. It is clear that Prince Goshu is treating this as a deal, or as a threat. If General Lu insisted on refusing to hand over the Tibetan envoy, Prince Geshu would naturally refuse to transport food and medicinal herbs. General Lu stared coldly into Prince Geshu's eyes, groaned to himself for a while, and finally ordered Master Lu beside him: "Go and bring the Tibetan envoy." ”
