Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Chapter 62 Li Shimin, the governor’s father-in-law

Songtsen Gampo was also extremely bitter in his heart. He hoped that it would be Lu Dongtsen who commanded the unfavorable battle, which could not only cleanse a powerful minister but also get the good news that the Tang army did not have new weapons.

At this moment, Songtsen Gampo had no choice but to appease Lu Dongzan and said: "Teacher, I wrongly blamed you, I should trust you." Then he took off the Gawu hanging around his neck and gave it to Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan took the Gawu pendant handed down from the previous King of Tubo with both hands, knelt down with tears in his eyes and tremblingly said: "I will live up to the king in this life!"

Fu Yun saw that what Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongtsan said did not seem to be false, so he asked: "Now that we know that the Tang army has that stick, we can't defeat them, what should we do? Your royal court of Tubo is far away, but my land of Tuyuhun Right on the border of Datang."

Songtsan Gampo was also unambiguous: "This time you will join me in a joint battle. I allow you not to charge, and you will be the first to enter the city and rob it for three days after it is broken! Don't think that I don't know how many capable warriors you have in Tuyuhun. You, Tuyuhun, can afford to die for a mere three thousand people."

Fu Yun pursed his lips and rolled his eyes: "If you get information or physical objects about that new weapon, you must share it with Tuyuhun."

Songtsen Gampo was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Dongtsen.

Lu Dongzan said: "No problem. If you Tuyuhun get it, will you share it with Tubo?" Lu Dongzan had already put his hand on the dagger at his waist.

Fu Yun smiled and said: "That's natural. Now that the matter has been discussed, I will take people back. You can send people to deliver the subsequent battle plan after you have made it." Then he turned around, found the horse, mounted and left.

As soon as Fu Yun got on his horse and walked out of the camp, he galloped back to his army as if fleeing. At this time, he was already sweating profusely. He heard his military advisor say that if Lu Dongzan agreed and left immediately, he must leave quickly.

Looking at his running back, Lu Dongzan sneered and spat, "Bah, coward. You dare to bargain with Tubo and I will annex you sooner or later." Lu Dongzan stared at Tuyuhun's army with a fierce look in his eyes.

Yuchi Baoqi finally waited until the baggage troops arrived in Songzhou City one day later. Lieutenant Shi commanded the civilians to pile up the supplies in categories.

Yuchi Baoqi ran over and patted him: "Lieutenant Shi, you were able to win this ambush without any casualties. I have asked my father to write a military report and send it back to Chang'an about your achievements."

Shi Kuan clenched his fists on his chest and performed the new military salute of the Tianwei Army: "Commander, I just did my duty, and I can't even imagine the reward."

Yuchi Baoqi also returned a military salute and said with a smile: "Can you lend me your two messengers? I want to accept them as personal soldiers. But they said they would ask you, they have been following you for so long It’s not good to just leave.”

When Shi Kuan saw Yuchi Baoqi being so polite to him, he also laughed and said, "Hahaha, don't worry, Commander. I will go and talk to them right now. I will never make it difficult for them and the Commander to be human. Adults are beautiful and unhappy."

Yuchi Baoqi then told Shi Kuan to take a rest, and tomorrow he would escort some supplies to Suoyang City to supply the Tianwei Army and the city defenders there.

After hearing this, Shi Kuan asked: "The siege of Suoyang City has been resolved. There must be no thieves nearby who dare to show their talents. In the afternoon, I will find all the people to transport supplies. The governor will feel at ease."

Seeing Shi Kuan like this, Yuchi Baoqi couldn't say anything, so she had to let him go.

The two of them looked at the carts of supplies being placed properly. Yuchi Baoqi just wanted to ask Shi Kuan to have a meal together to talk about the details of the ambush and whether they knew who came to ambush them. Suddenly, the originally quiet city gate became noisy. The city guard sergeant was entangled with a group of half-clothed people. Shi Kuan and Yuchi Baoqi immediately walked towards the city gate.

Yuchi Baoqi shouted: "Everyone separate and stand still. The defenders retreat and find people who know their language to ask who these people are and what they are doing in Songzhou City."

One of the young men in ragged clothes stood up and said: "General, we are natives of Songpan. Ida often takes me to various places to do business. I can speak Tang dialect."

When Yuchi Baoqi saw what he said, he called him over: "What are you doing here? And how can you have a conflict with the soldiers guarding the city?"

The young man looked guilty: "We didn't want to have a conflict with the soldiers. We just saw Tang Jun getting excited and we were afraid of death."

Yuchi Baoqi asked curiously: "What happened to you, how could you be in such a tragic situation? I have heard about you natives. You usually live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and are self-sufficient. At most, you can buy some local products and trade them for daily necessities."

There were tears in the young man's eyes: "A group of thieves came from nowhere and looted our village. Most of the men in the village were killed by them. I am Da, I am Da Ye..."

Seeing that the young man was choking and unable to speak anymore, Yuchi Baoqi stepped forward and hugged him, "Don't be afraid, the sky won't fall when the Tang army comes. This Songzhou City will be your home from now on. But this is a military city, maybe somedays It will be easier."

Shi Kuan spoke at this time: "Are the people who looted your village more than a hundred people, all riding horses and using long scimitars?"

The young man turned his head and stared at Shi Kuan: "Yes! I was killed by them. They spoke Tubo dialect, which I can understand! How did you know, general? Do you know who they are, right? Please You tell me, I’m going to avenge me!”

Yuchi Baoqi stared at the boy, who was just in his early ten years, and stretched out his hand to hold his head.

"If you have the strength to seek revenge, if you don't have the strength to do so, you will end up dead. You stay in Songzhou City first and arrange your clansmen before we talk about revenge. When the time comes, you can join the army and fight as far as the Tubo Royal Court. No one can stop you. Holding you."

Shi Kuan also said: "What is your name? When you grow up and can participate in the training of Tianwei Army, I will find someone to inform you. Come to our fifth column and follow me to fight against Tibet."

The young man said: "My name is Gacuo, and my Chinese name is Pingan."

Yuchi Baoqi waved to the soldiers guarding the city, signaling for the natives to come in. The soldiers guarding the city asked if they wanted to search them. Yuchi Baoqi asked him to see what weapons these people could hide in their clothes. The soldiers guarding the city also scratched their heads in embarrassment.

Yuchi Baoqi took out the urban construction plan of Songzhou City that he had drawn these days and called Wei Yongyi.

"Victims from a native village came outside and were looted. The perpetrators and those who attacked the material convoy were from the same group, and I don't know which side they were from. Logically speaking, the Tubo army was wiped out by our Tianwei army that night. The enemy has more than [-] people, so they don't have the guts to attack our Tianwei Army's baggage again." Yuchi Baoqi said doubtfully.

After Wei Yongyi heard what Yuchi Baoqi said, he patted his head: "Shi Xiaowei brought back a Tongue, saying he was one of that group of people. He was stunned by the explosion. No one understands Tubo dialect, so there is no trial. It's just a daily He was not given food and was only given two meals a day and was beaten severely."

Yuchi Baoqi was a little speechless: "Are you going to fight today? If you don't fight, don't fight. Also, this is the construction map of Songzhou City. I have completed the plan. When the time comes, you can lead the natives and the soldiers who defend the city to do it. I’m paid and have two meals a day.”

Wei Yongyi asked: "Is the food delivered by the material team enough to eat? I think they are all compressed biscuits and the like."

Yuchi Baoqi looked at him with a smile: "You have forgotten that on the first night, we got all the horse chews from the more than [-] people in the Tubo camp. Although some cattle and sheep were burned to death, there were still a lot of them. , I also found their tsampa, which is also edible.”

Wei Yongyi was a little frightened: "This, don't you need to transport it back to the country and hand it over to the treasury, your majesty?"

Yuchi Baoqi patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Do you think my father-in-law will be angry because of these little things?"
