The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

……

It was the beginning of Yeyin time.

Zhong Wen, who was rushing all the way, had already arrived in Songzhou territory.

It is only ten miles away from Jiacheng County, the county seat where Songzhou is located.

After several hours of running around, Zhong Wen's anger has already been relieved a lot.

At this time, Zhong Wen was sitting on the top of a mountain, meditating, recovering his internal energy.

As for the matter in Songzhou, Zhong Wen didn't think about it for the time being. After all, there was still a day before the three-day limit.

Until the sun was rising, Yuchi Jingde started to run around in the Tongjun Mansion in Songzhou early in the morning.

In the limited time of three days, there is only one day left.

Yuchi Jingde was worried that there was no letter from Chang'an, and he also knew that the time was too tight and the distance was too far.

Throughout the day, Yuchi Jingde was preparing for the battle.

All the soldiers are also very tense, as if the front end of the war is about to start.

On the other hand, Zhong Wen has been sitting on the top of a mountain, meditating to recover his inner energy, and he has been reading through the nameless Taoist text in his mind.

Every day, Zhong Wen's daily routine is to read through the unknown Taoist essay without interruption.

Since the last time when the consciousness of God was destroyed in the Taizong Gate, Zhong Wen was very anxious.

However, I have never thought of a good way to recover my consciousness, and I can only follow the way I did at the beginning, reading through the nameless Taoism.

Fortunately, reading Wuming Daoist text has some effect and some improvement, but until now, Zhong Wen's consciousness is still unable to gather, let alone release it.

Without the help of Consciousness of God, Zhong Wen always felt as if he had lost something, and his heart was always in a bad mood.

When the sun was hanging on the top of the mountain, Zhong Wen opened his eyes, and then rushed towards Jiacheng County.

……

"Zhong~Zhong Changshi, you~ why are you here?" When Zhong Wen entered Jiacheng County, revealed his identity, and was taken to the Tongjun Mansion by a general, when Yuchi Jingde saw Zhong Wen, I became tense.

It doesn't matter if you are not nervous, Zhong Wen has hurt him with a single sword.

Moreover, in the eyes of Yuchi Jingde, Zhong Wen is someone who can kill more people than him. If he accidentally said something wrong or said something, he couldn't imagine that the Zhong Changshi in front of him , Will you draw out that sword and give him another sword.

"I heard that a master from Tubo came here, so the Holy Majesty sent me to deal with it. General Yuchi, hurry up and prepare more food for me." Zhong Wen said after cupping his hands to Yuchi Jingde.

He hadn't eaten all day and night, but Zhong Wen was very hungry, so he wanted to eat as soon as he came.

"Yes, Zhong Changshi." After Yuchi Jingde heard Zhong Wen's intention of coming, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he hurriedly ordered a few words to his soldiers.

Chapter 428 The First Battle of Tubo Masters

Although Zhong Wen's arrival made Yuchi Jingde nervous, it was like giving him a shot of a booster.

Although Zhong Wen had hurt him before, he didn't dare to dangle in front of Zhong Wen when he was in Chang'an, but for now, he hoped that Zhong Wen would best stay here in Songzhou until The war is over.

After all, Yuchi Jingde was also afraid that Tubo's masters would show up at any time and kill him, not to mention that there were tens of thousands of soldiers.

And this time.

There are also tens of thousands of reinforcements from Tubo.

Although there are not many people, there are only more than 1 people.

But the arrival of more than 1 people immediately put a lot of pressure on Tang Jun.

In fact, there are now more than 5 soldiers and horses on the Tubo side, while on the Tang side, all of them add up to less than [-].

One hundred thousand against fifty thousand, it's not a big problem when it comes to it.

But after all, it is a defensive battle, not an offensive battle, and the number of people needs to be dispersed to prevent Tubo from raiding.

"General Yuchi, tell me about the current situation." Zhong Wen asked Yuchi Jingde while eating.

Zhong Wen had just arrived in Songzhou, firstly he didn't know the situation of the Tubo master, and secondly he didn't know about the confrontation between Tubo and Tang. Moreover, the number of soldiers and horses on both sides was not very clear, and even the distribution was not known.

Zhong Wen thought that now that he had come, he wanted to know about it by the way.

"Zhong Changshi, a few nights ago, a Tubo man suddenly appeared in the city, and he bluntly asked me, the Tang Dynasty, to explain the matter of their Tubo mission. So I let go of the harsh words, saying that I need an answer within three days, so I wrote to Chang'an to ask for help." Seeing Zhong Wen's question, Yuchi Jingde quickly responded cautiously.

"Is it alone? Or is there someone else?" Zhong Wen continued to ask.

"At that time, he was alone, and he didn't make a move. He just said a few words and left." Yu Chijing continued to reply.

"Well, I see. How about the current situation of the confrontation between the two armies? You can also tell me." Zhong Wen continued to ask while eating.

When Yuchi Jingde heard Zhong Wen's question about the situation of the two armies, he immediately smiled, cupped his hands towards Zhong Wen and said, "Zhong Changshi, according to the scout's report just now, the Tubo Kingdom has added tens of thousands of soldiers." The horses are coming, and the Tubo soldiers and horses at this time are estimated to have 6 to [-] people."

"In the direction of Ningyuan Town, there are [-] people in Tubo, and [-] soldiers from Tang Dynasty are guarding them. Around Gansong Ridge, there are nearly [-] soldiers from Tubo, and [-] people from Tang Dynasty. It is reported that there are nearly [-] people from Tang Dynasty in Dangzhou. Thousands of soldiers and horses, [-] of us in Tang State are stepping up defense."

"As for the Jiachuan area further north, there are also two or three thousand Tubo soldiers and horses. My Tang Dynasty also has [-] soldiers stationed there, and in the direction of Bailing Town in Zhezhou to the south, there are also several thousand Tubo soldiers and horses. The local states are also actively preparing for the battle, and the number of people is estimated to reach about [-]."

"The reinforcements from Chang'an have already arrived in Fuzhou at this time, and they will reach Songzhou in a day or two."

Along with Yuchi Jingde's words, Zhong Wen was also counting the number of people on both sides.

According to the number of people Yuchi Jingde said, the total number of troops in Tubo is estimated to be 12 to [-], while the number of troops in Tang State is [-]. This is not counting the reinforcements from Chang'an, and there are other states The reinforcements who rushed over.

After calculating in Zhong Wen's mind, he already had an approximate number in his heart, but he didn't know how many reinforcements there would be.

Besides, for such a big war, the logistics might be a headache.

"How many people will we reach in the Tang Kingdom? Tubo now has [-] to [-] soldiers, will there be reinforcements in the future? Have you sent people to investigate in Tubo?" Zhong Wen asked.

"Zhong Changshi, this is a war between the two countries. With the increase of soldiers and horses in Tubo Kingdom, the number of soldiers and horses in our Tang Dynasty must increase. Now the number of soldiers and horses in Tubo Kingdom has increased to 6 to 20. We The Tang Kingdom has to use at least [-] people to defend, otherwise, it will surely get into trouble."

"In addition, this... This is not because we don't want to enter Tubo territory to investigate, but because we can't do it." Yuchi Jingde responded.

"Why can't it be done? Is it so difficult to enter Tibet?" Zhong Wen asked a little puzzled.

"Zhong Changshi, now that the two countries are about to go to war, the scouts can't go deep, so they can only inquire nearby. Moreover, the territory of Tubo is full of high mountains and valleys. If you want to send people to inquire, besides the normal waterways, there are also mountain roads. Besides, it is impossible to go deep." Yuchi Jingde also thought about Zhong Wen's question, but the scouts he sent basically never returned.

Yuchi Jingde's words made Zhong Wen understand why the scout couldn't be sent out, and he couldn't find out the news.

The Tubo Kingdom is located on a plateau, and there are mountains besides mountains.

It can be said that it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to go deep. Moreover, when the two armies are confronting each other, there must be Tubo soldiers guarding all the main roads.

After realizing this, Zhong Wen realized that his question was for nothing.

For Zhong Wen, it was easy to go to Tubo by himself, but those scout soldiers were just ordinary people, and if they wanted to go deep, they would just spend their lives.

No more questions, Zhong Wen continued to eat his meal without even raising his head.

Yuchi Jingde just watched Zhong Wen vomit the two big bowls of food in such a stupid daze, but his stomach didn't appear to be distended.Praise in my heart.

In terms of rice buckets, Yuchi Jingde thought he was one of them, but he didn't expect that the Zhong Changshi in front of him, who ate so much, didn't grow body, didn't gain flesh, and still looked slender. Jaws dropped in shock.

If he can eat in the army, he is definitely a person who can fight.

This is the standard for judging a person's force value, but it can be placed on Zhong Wen's body, which obviously cannot be judged in the way of the military.

As night fell, Yuchi Jingde had no choice but to leave, to arrange some things, or to search for some places that were not strictly guarded.

At this time, Zhong Wen had also left the Tongjun Mansion, went directly to Jiacheng County, sat on the highest point, and meditated with his eyes slightly closed.

An hour later, Yuchi Jingde brought some generals over, stood on the city wall, and saluted Zhong Wen at the highest place.

"You don't need to stay here, if you have something to do, go and do it first." Zhong Wen said to the generals without opening his eyes.

"Zhong Changshi, we are fine now, what should be arranged has been arranged." Yuchi Jingde responded to Zhong Wen.

Yuchi Jingde brought these generals here, firstly to let these generals get to know Zhong Wen, and also to prevent unnecessary troubles in the future.

Secondly, I also came here to witness how Zhong Wen, the regular attendant, dealt with that Tubo master.

After all, it was already evening, and it is estimated that after a while, that Tubo master should appear, so he, Yuchi Jingde, brought those generals over, just to see the excitement.

Zhong Wen didn't care about them anymore, and continued to sit on the top of the city wall and meditate, waiting for the Tubo expert to appear.

time.

For Zhong Wen, it was just a noun.

However, for generals like Yuchi Jingde and the others, they were like ants on a hot pot, very difficult.

Yes, it is difficult.

For a quarter of an hour or two quarters of an hour, it may not be a big problem for them.

However, this time, from Youshi to the end of Haishi, the Tubo master did not appear.

For the past two hours, for those military generals, this is not watching the excitement, but sitting on a hot pot, which is really boring and boring.

But just when they were about to ask Zhong Wen, a warning sound sounded from a distance outside the city.

As soon as the warning sounded, the generals immediately stood up and looked outside the city.

As they looked outside the city, they found a Tubo man, and that Tubo man, according to the light of the fire, was the same Tubo man who broke into the city that day.

At this time, Zhong Wen had already opened his eyes, and at the same time, he got up, stood quietly on a high place, and looked at the Tubo man who was walking slowly.

When the Tubo man was not far from the city wall, he did not jump in, but looked at Zhong Wen at the top of the city wall. After a while, he turned to look at Yuchi Jingde on the city wall and said, "Three days have come. What's my answer?"

"The man was killed by my order, what answer do you want?" At this time, Zhong Wen spoke.

"Why do you want to kill people from the Tubo Mission?"

"The members of the Tubo Mission robbed others in the capital of our Tang Dynasty. Is this a reason?"

"I, a Tibetan, robbed others? You can do a lot of things with just one word from you. Besides, one of my Tubo people, Pu Lun, was killed. Could it be possible to dismiss this matter with just one word from you?"

"Then how are you doing?"

"Since you are the orderer, then I will take you back."

As soon as the Tubo people finished speaking, they jumped onto the city wall and looked at Zhong Wen coldly, not paying attention to Zhong Wen at all.

In fact, he didn't feel any sign of a master from Zhong Wen's body, he didn't even feel the breath of inner energy. In his eyes, the young man in front of him was probably just a person who had not even reached the postnatal level. It's just a child that no one has reached.

Zhong Wen saw the Tubo man leaping onto the city wall, so frightened that Yuchi Jingde and the others backed away one after another, with the sword drawn in his hand, tensely on guard.

Immediately, Zhong Wen leaped, floated down from the tower, and came three zhang away from the Tubo man.

"Catch me? It's up to you!" As soon as Zhong Wen finished speaking, he kicked his feet, and the sword in his hand came out, stabbing the Tubo man straight.

At this time, when the Tubo man saw Zhong Wen stabbing at him with a sword, and found that the opponent's skill was not what he expected, but a master, he thought to himself, "Not good, master!"

As Zhong Wen's sword stabbed at the opponent, the Tubo man hurriedly moved back.

However, he couldn't get away from Zhong Wen's thorn, and even his physical skills were not as good as Zhong Wen's.

He also had to wave his knife to resist.

"choke choke"

Immediately, the two fought.

"The second level of Xiantian dares to come to my Tang country to seek trouble. You are looking for death." After Zhong Wen fought a few moves, he found that the opponent's skill was only at the level of the second level of Xiantian. He shouted sharply and swung his sword again.

"choke choke... puff"

In less than ten strokes, the Tubo man had already been hit by Zhong Wen's sword. In the eyes of the Tubo man, the sword came so suddenly and so directly that he could not resist it, nor could he avoid it. open.

A sword pierced straight into his left chest.

"Ten Heavenly Level!" The Tubo people have already discovered that the young man who injured him turned out to be a master of the Tenth Heavenly Level. Run all the inner energy, rushing towards where he came from.

Chapter 429 Master heard the words and gathered the crowd

"Zhong Changshi, why don't you chase after him?" After the Tubo man fled with his body, Yuchi Jingde came to his senses and reminded Zhong Wen loudly.

"Why chase him back? We have to dig a hole for him and fill him up. If he is stabbed in the heart, he will die." Zhong Wen didn't want to chase him, nor did he want to chase him.

In fact, the sword that Zhong Wen stabbed just now went straight to the heart, and he did not die on the spot, which shows that this person probably protected the heart vein.

But even if the heart is protected, according to Zhong Wen's deduction, the Tubo man probably won't be able to escape very far, and it is estimated that the distance is only ten or twenty miles away.

With a sword in the heart, who can live?

After hearing Zhong Wen's words, Yuchi Jingde was relieved.

When this Tubo expert broke into the city last time, it was as if he had entered an uninhabited land, and no one dared to make a move.
