A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

……

Fang Yizhi and Li Tai sat in the Literature Museum and did not see Gu Qing off either.

"Do you think Gu Qing can win this time?" Fang Yi asked directly.

Li Tai nodded and said, "I think he's quite sure."

In the quiet literature museum, only the fragrance of pen and ink is floating...

Gu Qing, who slaughtered more than [-] people at Yanmen Pass, went out again. The people speculated how many people Gu Qing would kill this time, and how much blood would be shed in the Hexi Corridor. Several wild geese flew over the city of Chang'an.

Tang Xuanzang walked out of the gate of Chang'an.

Bian Ji followed Tang Xuanzang in silence, and he could see horseshoe prints all over the place three miles away from Chang'an. Looking at these, Tang Xuanzang said, "How many murders will be done this time, this poor monk will go to the Hexi Corridor, hoping to make people This young general will commit less crimes."

Hexi Corridor

Lu Dongzan tidied up the battlefield, and finally captured the front line of the Hexi Corridor, commanding the Tubo people under his command to tidy up the camp. A soldier came back and reported, "Military division, there is an urgent report from an eyeliner! Changan is leaving for the Hexi Corridor!"

"He's finally here." Lu Dongzan put away the knife in his hand, "This time, we must make Gu Qing submit before us, and make Datang tremble in front of Tubo!"

The bleak wind blew up Lu Dongzan's sleeves, and he said to the people around him, "Zanpu who told us that Gu Qing is coming to the Hexi Corridor!"

Su Dingfang drank cold water and had already retreated to the middle of the Hexi Corridor. Hearing the news from the fast horse, "Gu Qing, you are finally here!"

The war between Tang Dynasty and Tubo, Xue Yantuo is imminent.

In the Western Regions, envoys from Kucha, Khotan, Yanqi, and Shule from the four countries of the Western Regions are gathering to discuss countermeasures. The Hexi Corridor to the east of the Western Regions is raging with war, and tens of thousands of people are fighting there. At this moment, the four countries in the Western Regions have been watching the war. Looking forward to them, one of the few small countries in the Western Regions with strength, maybe this is an opportunity.

Although Datang's envoys repeatedly persuaded the Western Regions not to act rashly, the opportunity is right in front of them, and no one wants to miss it. If Datang is defeated, they all want to bite off a piece of fat in Datang. For them, Datang is too rich now.

After several days of marching, Gu Qing led the army to the gate of the Hexi Corridor, Longnan.

"Where is Su Dingfang's army?" Gu Qing asked Xiang Cheng Chumo.

"Here!" Cheng Chumo pointed to the sand table, "The battle report from the scouts shows that General Yuchi Gong and Su Dingfang have now retreated to Qilian Mountain, which is the middle of the journey from Hexi."

Gu Qing looked at the sand table with a solemn expression.

"Tubo has opened up the Hexi Corridor." Yang Sheng said.

"Tubo has stopped and is increasing its troops." Cheng Chumo said, "It seems that they plan to swallow the entire Hexi Corridor in one go. The reason why Gu Qing and Songtsan Gampo are so eager to increase their troops may be exhausted. I did my best."

When you arrive in Longnan, you can feel the dryness here, and the water source is starting to decrease. There is a map hanging in the big tent, looking at the whole of Tubo. The end of Tubo is Kunlun Mountain. "The territory of Tubo is quite wide."

Cheng Chumo looked at Gu Qing's smile, and smiled wryly in his heart. Could it be that Gu Qing has already made up the idea of ​​the whole Tubo?

The staff of the Firearms Bureau led by Wang Jin has been making landmines, explosives, and grenades. Gu Qing has already handed over the blueprints of the grenades to himself. Looking at the grenades with wooden handles, he wonders how Gu Qing wants to fight this battle.

Wang Jin is Wang Qin's nephew, and like Wang Qin is Li Er's domestic slave. The three generations of his ancestors have been serving the Li family. Take your seat.

They are absolutely loyal to Li Er, and they are also the people Li Er trusts most.

The army marched towards Qilian Mountain again, and the dry wind felt very uncomfortable every time it blew across my cheeks, as if it was blowing away the moisture from my body.

At the foot of Qilian Mountain, Su Dingfang and Yu Chigong also finished their army formation, waiting for the army led by Gu Qing to come to meet up.

Chapter 212 Shocking Explosion

On the dry yellow land, a few vultures stopped on the dry branches to watch the army pass by, and looked at the army.

Su Dingfang looked behind him, and he could see the dark army from a distance. The scouts rushed to report and came to Yu Chigong, "Report, Gu Canzhi's [-] elite soldiers have arrived."

"Okay!" Yu Chigong only said one word, but he was full of confidence.

Gu Qing led the army to the foot of Qilian Mountain, brought a lot of luggage and food, and walked up to Yu Chigong, "See the general!"

"Okay, okay, okay." Yu Chigong said yes three more times.

Gu Qing stood up and came to Su Ding, "I'm sorry for you, let's show Tubo some color."

"En!" Su Dingfang nodded without saying anything.

Yang Sheng looked at the soldiers in Qilian Mountain. The atmosphere in Qilian Mountain was very bad. After several bloody battles, the soldiers were already too tired.

With the addition of new food, grass and soldiers, the Qilian Mountains, which were originally lifeless, added some vitality. Gu Qing rode on a horse, together with Su Dingfang and Yu Chigong, looked at the Tubo army in the distance.

"How many soldiers and horses do they have?" Gu Qing asked.

"There are tens of thousands of war elephants, and the number of soldiers and horses has been increasing by at least 20." Su Dingfang looked solemn.

"Let the soldiers build the fortifications, they are not their opponents." Gu Qing looked at the black army of Tubo.

Su Dingfang looked at Gu Qing strangely, "Do you want us to build a city here?"

"No!" Gu Qing said, and turned around to arrange for people to build fortifications.

The whole army began to get busy, and a group of dozens of Tibetan soldiers and horses came riding, wow!Seeing the Tubo soldiers and horses coming, the soldiers immediately drew out their knives and put their bows and arrows on their bows.

The Tubo cavalry dropped a few corpses and then quickly withdrew.

"Go and have a look." Gu Qing said to the soldiers beside him.

Several soldiers came forward and brought over the corpses left by the Tubo people. Gu Qing saw that the throats of the corpses had been cut and killed, and the clothes were people from the Tang Dynasty, like a caravan.

"There are alive!" said the soldier.

Gu Qing caught up and saw that it was a woman, still breathing, looked at her dry lips and said hastily, "Bring water."

The soldier hurriedly took out the water bag, and felt the water dripping on her mouth. She opened her mouth slightly and regained some consciousness, grabbed the water bag and drank, opened her eyes to see and opened them again, shrank her body back, and hugged her tightly. Wearing his own clothes, "Don't come over, don't come over!"

"Don't be afraid." Gu Qing stepped forward and said, "We are soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"Don't come here!" she screamed, with tears in her eyes.

Looking at this thin and disheveled woman, Yang Sheng raised his head and breathed heavily, "What did they do to her!"

She looked around in a trance, "Where is my husband?"

Seeing a few corpses, she rushed forward and found her husband, holding the corpses and crying.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Gu Qing asked in a low voice.

"They...they're not human!" She cried and spoke, taking advantage of Gu Qing's inattention and quickly pulled out the knife from the general's waist.

"What are you doing?" Gu Qing wanted to get back his knife.

Holding the knife, she stepped back step by step, with tears in her eyes, silently wiped her own neck, and fell to the dry land.
