Chapter 19: Rescuing the Western Regions (7)

Seeing that the Tibetan army was so tightly defended, everyone had to act cautiously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Gao Fenglin gestured to Ping Qingyun and gestured, and Ping Qingyun immediately understood what he meant.

At this time, late at night, most of the soldiers in the army had fallen asleep, only a few waves of people patrolling back and forth for the night, a few people came to the outermost tent, took advantage of the darkness of the other party did not pay attention, stole five pieces of clothes of the Tibetan soldiers, after the five people changed their clothes, they swaggered all the way to the entrance of the canyon.

Before he had gone far, he met a team of oncoming night watchmen, this night watchman was a team of five, and it was clear that Ping Qingyun had already sent someone to investigate before, and after meeting at this time, he continued to go inside without communicating with the other party.

After walking this long way, a group of people arrived at the entrance of the canyon, and saw that there were two rows of more than 20 soldiers guarding here, which was much stricter than the patrol people in the previous night, and the five people slowly moved to the dark corner behind the tent, Ping Qingyun gave Liu Tong a look, and Liu Tong quietly came to the mouth of the canyon after the third, fourth, and two tents were next to each other, and secretly lit the tents on both sides while people were asleep.

When the autumn weather is dry and dry, the spark at this point is lit up and the fire is bigger, the mouth of the canyon is windy, the wind blows, the fire is bigger, the fire attracts the attention of the defenders at the mouth of the canyon, and suddenly I don't know who shouted "on fire", and the quiet night was broken.

The fire was so strong that several tents nearby had been burned, and the shouts in the fire were endless, seeing that there were not many people in the dark night who had time to put out the fire, the two or so Tubo soldiers who were guarding the entrance hurriedly rushed over to put out the fire.

The sound just now was naturally Ping Qingyun's loud shout, and this move deceived all the defenders at the entrance, taking advantage of this gap, the five people quickly passed through the canyon and entered the interior of the river valley.

After entering, the five of them took off their Tibetan costumes, so as not to be mistaken for enemy soldiers by the Hui army inside.

After entering the canyon, I turned two corners and came to the riverside. The terrain had gradually flattened out, and the five of them quickly came to the outside of the cottage.

This cottage is built on the mountainside, the terrain is condescending, and there are natural water flows and cliffs as a barrier outside, it is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, the mouth of the river is narrow, the enemy can not attack on a large scale, it is simply impregnable.

The periphery of the cottage is surrounded by countless thick trees with thick bowl mouths, and the roots and trees are driven into the ground several feet, and hundreds of thick trees are pressed against the ground inside, as a support, which is very firm.

Just as Wu Dejian was about to call someone inside, Gao Fenglin suddenly heard a slight rustling sound in the night, startled, and hurriedly said:

"There's someone in the back. ”

Everyone was shocked, and before they could react, dozens of people suddenly rushed out of the black people, and surrounded Gao Fenglin and the five people with lightning speed.

The five people had a false alarm, and it turned out that it was not the Tubo soldiers who surrounded them, but the Hui soldiers. Wu Dejian saw that the opposite side was dressed as a Hui, so he explained his intention to the other party in Turkic, and no one among the Hui soldiers knew Wu Dejian, so Wu Dejian had to ask the other party to take them to the Gulu secret service, and everything was understood.

The five people were unarmed and taken by a team of people to the Gulu secret service in the cottage, at this time it was already late at night, and the Gulu special service had just fallen asleep not long ago, and was woken up by the soldiers who were keeping watch at night, and heard that Wu Dejian had arrived at the cottage, and quickly got up and came out to meet.

Gu Xuan is a close confidant of Prince Ye Hu, born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, broad shoulders and thick arms, half a head taller than Gao Fenglin, and his dense beard is even more heroic.

When I came to the lobby of the village, I saw that Wu Dejian was indeed in the middle of the fifth middle school in the hall, so I greeted him. Wu Dejian, on the contrary, looked like a person who was trapped in the valley, and his heart was much more relieved. After a period of greetings, Wu Dejian introduced Ping Qingyun, Gao Fenglin, Liu Tong and Huangfu Lian to the special service of Gulu one by one.

Ping Qingyun asked Gu Du in Turkic language:

"Time is in a hurry, we ventured here to find out how many troops are in the cottage and how many people can directly participate in the battle?"

Gu Xuan smiled and said in Chinese:

"The general can speak Chinese, and we also know a little Chinese. Before, we were stationed in Gongyue City, about 2,000 people, but later the Tubo army raided, we were injured more than half, all the way back here, and now together with the brothers who originally guarded the village, there are a total of 1,137 people, of which more than 200 were wounded, but most of them were lightly injured, and there is no problem in going into battle to meet the enemy. ”

Ping Qingyun nodded, and then asked:

"General Gulute, you have fought several battles with the Tibetans, and you know some of their situation. ”

After leading the five people to sit down in the middle of the hall, the Gu Du agent continued:

"This time Tubo is led by the general Sha Chi first, from the small Bolu detour thousands of miles, is the consistent style of Tubo, the Tubo army is good at cavalry raids, but also very good at long-distance raids, the lonely army is a taboo, but the Tubo army can often come and go freely, which has to be admired. ”

Ping Qing Yun Road:

"Well, that's right, I have also fought with the Tubo army, and their long-distance running tactics are indeed very strong, and they have always been the biggest headache for my Datang. ”

The Gu Du agent suddenly said:

"General Ping, I received a message today, and I think maybe we can take advantage of it. ”

Ping Qing Yun Road:

"What news. ”

Gu Du Special Service Road:

"I heard that the Great Khan of Tibet, Chide Zuzan, has died. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ping Qingyun was really surprised, and he stood up in shock:

"Is that true?"

Gu Du Special Service Road:

"It's true, some time ago, Chide Zuzan was killed by the ministers Mei Se and Dong Zebu when he was racing horses in Ya Becha City, and the two colluded with the king of Subi to raise troops to rebel, and now the country in Tubo is in chaos, Ma Chongying is now tired of dealing with the rebel army, and has no time to separate the Western Regions and Longxi. ”

Ping Qingyun slapped his thigh loudly:

"This is really great news, An Lushan is about to raise troops, and Tubo is now in civil strife again, I'm afraid that this war will not be able to subside in a few years, haha, then we will not be able to attack my Tang Dynasty with An Lushan, so we will have time to breathe. ”

When everyone heard the news, they were very happy, and the Gu Xuan agent said:

"If when we counterattack, we spread the news among the Tibetan army in advance, and spread the news of their Great Khan's death to the entire army, then the heart of the Tibetan army will be shaken, and we will definitely be able to defeat it with one blow. ”

Ping Qing Yun Road:

"That's right, that's what I mean, God help me. ”

In the lobby, everyone laughed.

Gu Du's special service suddenly asked Wu Dejian again:

"Why did the prince only send less than a hundred of you this time, could it be that something happened to Hui Hui?"

Wu Dejian Road:

"This time, the Great Khan was seriously ill, and the prince was in charge of the country, so the prince first transferred 5,000 elite cavalry to the south, echoing Guo Ziyi's army from afar, and deterring An Lushan in Hebei, and most of our army was fighting on the front line with the Sayanling tribe. Moreover, the crown prince did not prevent any change in the pro-An Lushan party headed by Prime Minister Akhqin, and transferred 2,000 men from the front to stay in the city of Yatent, because we did not have too many troops to adjust, so he recruited 60 samurai to come to the rescue. ”

Gu Du's special service nodded, there were too many involved, and it was not easy to transfer dozens of people to come, so he asked Ping Qingyundao:

"I wonder if General Ping has any good strategy to break the enemy?"

Ping Qingyun smiled slightly:

"I just heard that Tubo Zampu is dead, so I have a plan to break the enemy. (To be continued.) )
