The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

It is happening all over the border of Tang State.

From the Western Regions to the grasslands in the north of the Tang Kingdom.

Then go to the northeast of the Tang Dynasty near Goguryeo.

even.

This scene was staged even in the Chenla Kingdom.

of course.

The most dangerous place is the Songzhou area.

The guard of Songzhou is Qin Qiong who has just arrived.

There is also Niu Jinda stationed there.

Niu Jinda has been stationed in the area of ​​Songzhou for these years, so it can be said that he is a veteran of the station.

It has not been a day or two since Tubo wanted to invade the heart of Tang.

Since the rise of the King Songtsan Gampo and leveled the entire Tubo forces, he began to plan to invade the Tang Kingdom.

This is not.

In this alliance of various countries, the Tubo Kingdom directly pulled out all the soldiers and horses at the bottom of the box.

From the initial total strength of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it was directly suppressed to 10.

These 10 people are the bottom of the Tubo Kingdom.

Can be imagined.

The monarch of the Tubo Kingdom, this time, was determined to invade the Tang Kingdom after eating the weight.

"Mr. Yi, the scouts have come to report that there has been a change in the Tubo soldiers and horses. The [-] Tubo soldiers and horses in Ningyuan Town have already left the camp." Niu Jinda rushed into Qin Qiong's tent in a hurry, without panting.

"Are you sure?" Qin Qiong felt nervous when he heard the changes in the Tubo soldiers and horses in Ningyuan Town.

There.

He knows who the leader of Tubo Kingdom is.

Hoduo, to which Chieftain Zhalong belongs.

This person is the most tyrannical.

Every time there was a war in Ningyuan Town before, as long as this person entered the Tang Dynasty, he would be slaughtered.

In addition to slaughtering everything, he also likes to peel off people's hearts.

This also made the guards in the past a little timid when they heard the name of Huo Duo.

now.

There was a change in the Tubo soldiers and horses in the direction of Ningyuan Town, which had to make Qin Qiong startled.

"I'm sure, the general is still that Hodo, but I don't seem to have seen Hodo recently, and I don't know what happened." Niu Jinda replied.

"Let's go to Ningyuan Town." Qin Qiong was worried.

Immediately, he took Niu Jinda and hundreds of soldiers to Ningyuan Town.

After arriving in Ningyuan Town on the same day.

More news came.

And on the border between Tu and Tang, there was also a situation of scouts scrambling for each other, killing me and fleeing.

Such a scene.

It can be said to be so similar to a few years ago.

"General, our more than 100 scouts have suffered heavy losses. Only [-] or so of them have returned, and so far, no sign of Hodo has been found." As soon as Qin Qiong and the others arrived, a general ran over to the two of them. The general reported today's situation.

"Send people out again, let them be more careful, and remember to be in a team of three." After Qin Qiong got more information, he had to send people to investigate.

As the sun goes down.

Night is coming.

On the border between Tu and Tang.

The figures of scouts flashed everywhere.

In such a terrain and under the dark night, no one dared to be careless.

A little carelessness is death.

and.

The scouts on both sides had to investigate the other side's military situation. Everyone was cautious, afraid that an enemy would suddenly jump out of their side and stab them.

at this time.

The western area of ​​Gansongling far away from Jiacheng.

In the military tents of the Tubo Kingdom, many generals, such as Huo Duo, were kneeling before an extremely ugly old man.

"The holy master sent a message that all the soldiers and horses of our Tubo kingdom will not move for the time being, and everything is waiting for the instructions of the holy master. If anyone launches a war without respecting the order, he will be enchanted." The old man stood up slowly, his hoarse voice was like a messenger from hell generally.

"Yes, I respect the hadith of the holy master." All the generals of the Tubo Kingdom hurriedly bowed their heads.

And this time.

In the capital city of Tubo Kingdom, the monarch of Tubo Kingdom is furious.

The holy master asked him to stop the war, which made him prepare for several years, and it was in vain.

Whoever it is, it is estimated that it is full of hatred.

This is even more so for this ambitious Songtsan cadre.

Chapter 737 Pressing the Envoy to Know the Truth

??

It is estimated that the monarch of the Tubo Kingdom would be futile if he wanted to launch a war.

Judging from the soldiers and horses under his control, it is estimated that there are only half of the soldiers and horses in the Tubo Kingdom.

But for Bon religion.

As long as a word is passed on, even the Tubo monarch will go to battle in person.

It is estimated that most of the soldiers and horses of the Tubo Kingdom will choose the Bon religion side.

In Tubo Kingdom.

All of them are based on Bon religion.

Whether it is the monarch, or the chieftain, etc.

They are not people who believe in the spiritual beliefs of the Tubo people, and they are just providers of food and work.

Faith is great.

This is the status quo of Tubo Kingdom.

If Gangdise does not announce the promise of war, the two countries will only be in a confrontation.

but.

Scouting wars are still happening every day.

Both sides win each other.

Two days later, Zhong Wen came to Dali Temple again, and Qin Huaidao greeted him. "Zhong Shaobao, those envoys are almost starving now, what do you think about this?"

As for the two young ministers, they still haven't been on business until now.

Not to mention Dali Temple, many other yamen have also stopped.

Even the court meeting has been suspended for several days.

This made Li Shimin in the palace angry every day.

"How? Did someone beg for mercy?" Zhong Wen asked with a smile in his eyes.

"Yes, many people begged for mercy, but those who begged for mercy seemed to be some civil servants, and others seemed to be resisting." Qin Huaidao took Zhong Wen to the interior of Dali Temple.

After a moment.

It didn't take long to enter Dali Temple.

An envoy was brought up.

This person is an envoy of a small country in the Western Regions, and it can be said that he was the first person to beg for mercy.

When this person was dragged in, his eyes began to turn pale.

You can tell it's hungry and thirsty at a glance.

There is a saying.

Humans can live for about ten days without food.

But if people don't drink water, after three days, life will start to be in danger.

And this person.

It also didn't have a drop of water for two days.

It is conceivable that as long as a person who only wants to survive, his biggest idea is to drink a large bucket of water.

"King Zhong Jun, spare your life, spare your life!" When the man saw Zhong Wen, he rolled and crawled, shouting words of mercy.

Zhong Wen looked at this person.

His eyes were very unhappy.

In Zhong Wen's eyes, such nonsense is really worthless.

If you want to take advantage of it, you are afraid that you will bite yourself back.

but.

Those who can beg for mercy at the moment, the first estimate is this kind of nonsense.

and.

The current Western Regions.

As long as Tang State wants to advance, the entire Western Region will be conquered by Tang State, and at that time, it will return to the Chinese territory.

Zhong Wen sat on the main seat, looking coldly at the prostrate envoys on the ground, "Tell me, how many soldiers and horses you have assembled this time, and who ordered them. If you don't know, then you can go to death."

Zhong Wen doesn't care whether this person is alive or dead.

What he wants is the result.

"I said, I said." After hearing the words, the envoy swallowed his dry throat and said anxiously.

Zhong Wen gestured to Qin Huaidao who was on the side.

After a while.

A bowl of water was brought over.

After the envoy drank the water, he expressed his gratitude again, and then he began to narrate, "King Zhongjun, it's really not that we want to come, it's the Turkic people, and the Turkic people are overwhelming, and they demand that all the small countries in the Western Regions come to us." You have to participate in it, otherwise, the Turkic people will kill us all, King Zhongjun, what I’m telling is the truth, really, it’s all the truth.”

"How many soldiers and horses? How are they distributed?" Zhong Wen asked again.

"There are 70, 70 in the Western Regions. I heard that there are many other places. In Koguryo, there are 20. It seems that there are reserve troops. I don't know the exact number. And Tubo seems to have 10,000+ , there seems to be nearly 20 gathered in Chenla Kingdom." The envoys dare not be slow.

Such a good chance to survive, if you don't answer quickly.

He didn't even know if the ruthless man in front of him would kill him directly.

Hear here.

Zhong Wen also knew that it was absolutely impossible for the envoy from the Western Regions in front of him to know too many things.

Then no more questions.

Seeing that Zhong Wen stopped asking questions, Qin Huaidao cleverly dragged away the envoy from the Western Regions.
