A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Gu Qing planned to sleep for a few hours, the scout rushed to report, "Gu Canzhi, General Yuchi has arrived ten miles away."

"Old Yang, go and meet General Yuchi." Gu Qing said to Yang Sheng.

Nodding his head, Yang Sheng left the Potala Palace with hundreds of soldiers, and followed the scouts to welcome Yu Chigong over.

On the plateau in the dark night, Lu Dongzan on the other side was also rushing to the Potala Palace with an army of tens of thousands. A few soldiers reported in a panic, "Military Master, Wangting has been captured by the Tang army!"

"Let's go get it back!" Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said.

"Military division!" A Tubo man hastily persuaded, "Military division, do you still remember what Zanpu left behind before he left? If the Hexi Corridor is defeated, all decisions will be made after Zanpu finds reinforcements."

"Of course I know." Lu Dongzan was furious. Songtsan Gampo did tell himself that, but he couldn't swallow it.

After regaining his composure, Lu Dongzan pulled the rein again, "Come on, let's meet up with Zanpu."

It was almost dawn, and Yu Chigong finally brought the army to the Potala Palace. Gu Qing looked at the long dragon-like luggage, which was full of more than ten trucks of oil, and each truck was filled with oil barrels. Wang Jin smiled at Gu Qing Said, "There are only so many people, and this is all we can bring. Many Tibetans have been captured to help us make firearms."

Captured Tibetans to make firearms, Gu Qing looked at those Tibetans with their feet in shackles, it seems that these people will not live long, no matter whether they lose or win this battle with Tubo, they will not survive.

Yu Chigong walked into the Potala Palace and asked Su Dingfang, "How are you preparing?"

"It's almost there, but the general is still worried. Our firearms can continue to be manufactured. As long as there is enough time, there is no problem. There are still too few soldiers." Su Dingfang was worried, "I don't know how many troops Songtsan Gampo will bring. .”

"The old man has already sent someone to ask for help from Chang'an." Yu Chigong said, "Your Majesty will definitely send a large army to reinforce us. This battle is not only about the Hexi Corridor, but also about this commercial route leading to the west. A very important step."

With Yu Chigong here, Gu Qing felt more at ease, and worked with Wang Jin to make petrol bombs.

Gu Qing thought of fireworks. If the firework tubes are not fireworks, how about something else?A very special idea forms in the mind.

Yu Chigong's staff has been taking in the Tibetan residents for labor to repair the fortifications. After half a month, a Persian envoy came to the Potala Palace.

"Several respected generals of the Tang Dynasty." The Persian envoy bowed and said, "The King of Persia hopes that you will return this place to Songtsan Gampo and return the Hexi Corridor to Tubo."

Hearing the poor Guanzhong dialect of the Persian envoy, Cheng Chu silently slapped the table and stood up, "Fuck your shit, the Hexi Corridor belongs to us."

The Persian envoy smiled and said, "If Datang doesn't make a decision, Dashi, Persia, Tianzhu, Byzantium, and 80 allied forces from the Four Kingdoms will press in."

80 troops!The corners of Yuchi Gong's eyes twitched vigorously, this was the biggest army he had to face since Zhenguan.

"I would like to ask you guys." Gu Qing also said, "If you help Tubo like this, what good does Tubo do to you?"

"I hope the generals will make a decision early." The Persian envoy saluted with a strange smile, and then left.

"I'll kill him!" Cheng Chumo was about to draw his sword, but Su Dingfang hurriedly held him down, "Reserve your strength for the next big battle."

Cheng Chu was so angry that his whole body trembled, "Persia is so angry that he dares to interfere in the affairs of the Hexi Corridor."

"The 80 army should not be underestimated." Yu Chigong heaved a sigh of relief. The reinforcements from the central government have not yet arrived. He looked at Gu Qing. This young talent has the skill of making firearms. Will he have any ideas?

This Persian messenger came for nothing but a warning.

The atmosphere is very heavy, and the next thing to face is the 80 troops from the four countries in the Middle East.

Gu Qing looked at the repaired fortifications. In half a month, another military fortress had taken shape. It must be said that Yu Chigong was good at offensive and defensive warfare, and the fortifications here were well done.

Fang Yi was worried in his heart that 80 troops were enough to submerge the Potala Palace on this small hill, so he looked at Gu Qing and said, "What can you do?"

"It's either they die or we die." Gu Qing looked at the bright moon, "I never think I am a good person, and I don't want to be hypocritically merciful. They want us to die, so don't blame me for being inhumane."

Coming to Wang Jin's side, Gu Qing said, "How much gasoline has been refined?"

"More than 1000 catties." Wang Jin said.

"Increase the manpower and speed up." Gu Qing said to Wang Jin, "You are welcome, all the Tibetans in a radius of ten miles are captured to refine gasoline and increase production."

"Yes!" Wang Jin replied.

Gu Qing came to Yu Chigong and said, "General, I need urine from soldiers in the army."

"What?" Yu Chigong didn't recover for a while.

"I need to pee! It doesn't matter whether it's human urine or horse urine." Gu Qing said, "I want to make a fire bomb."

"Incendiary bombs?!" Yu Chigong said loudly to a group of corporals around him, "Did you hear that! Hurry up and do it, if a soldier can't urinate, give me water until he urinates!"

"Yes!" A large group of corporals dispersed.

Regardless of whether the Persian envoy said there were 80 troops or not, the entire Tang army was united like never before. Su Dingfang looked at Gu Qing. After a few days, Gu Qing was the busiest.

"Let's eat something." Su Dingfang brought a pot of freshly roasted lamb leg.

"Thanks, let's put it aside, I'll eat it later." Gu Qing drew the blueprint.

"Do you need anything else?" Su Dingfang said, "I'll ask someone to prepare it."

"Clay pots, I need a lot of pots." Gu Qing said, "No matter how many, the more the better, I can collect as many as you have."

"Okay, I'll do it now." Su Dingfang said.

The entire Tang army began to make firearms with Gu Qing as the core. Today, envoys from the Western Regions also came here, willing to send [-] troops to help the Tang army.

Only [-] reinforcements?Yu Chigong immediately waved his sleeves to refuse, and said to the envoy of the Western Regions, "If you want to get our firearms as reinforcements, then I tell you, your [-] reinforcements are not enough to fit your teeth!"

There are not enough gaps between the teeth. The Western Regions have fewer people. Forty thousand is the most that can be squeezed out for the Western Regions.

In Chang'an, following the good news of the Hexi Corridor, Li Er received the military report and listened to Fang Xuanling's suggestion to send troops to Tubo.

"Your Majesty, withdraw your troops." Changsun Wuji said.

Hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Li Er hesitated. To win this battle would really cost a lot. If he lost, he would probably lose the dominance of the Silk Road. If he won, he would gain fame among the four countries in the Middle East. It can prepare for the century-old project of the Silk Road.

Li Er looked at Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and the other generals in front of him, and said, "How about I send 30 troops to reinforce Yuchi Jinde?"

"It's absolutely impossible!" Changsun Wuji said, "If you send 30 troops, the army is huge, let alone whether you can arrive in time, even if you send 30 troops, it will definitely shake the hearts of the people."

Fang Xuanling heard it in his ears, and what he said meant that it was a mistake to send troops in the first place, and now he can only wait and see what happens.

"Your Majesty!" Cheng Yaojin said, "You can draw troops from the Weifu."

What Cheng Yaojin meant was to be transferred from the government soldiers. The government soldiers are soldiers among the soldiers. Anyway, they have to come to fight and don't need to use them. Cheng Yaojin is really worried about Gu Qing.

"Your Majesty!" Changsun Wuji went on to say, "Even if the government soldiers are transferred, they can only be transferred within [-] at most."

"Changsun Wuji, what do you mean!" Cheng Yaojin asked breathlessly, "This is not allowed, and that is not allowed! Do you want to watch Yu Chigong and Gu Qing die in Tubo?"

"The old man didn't say that." Changsun Wuji remained calm.
