Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

The recovery of Fuqi City allowed the Tang army to take the strategic initiative, especially the capture of the Tubo royal family, which gave Fan Xin great confidence.

Just as the Tang army was stepping up its rest and recuperation, 50,000 Tang troops were camping in Funiu Mountain, eighty miles outside Heyuan City.

"Qin Governor, we have been walking and stopping for eight days. If we delay it any longer, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to Fan Xin."

Wu Liang, wrapped in a quilt, said while roasting mutton.

"Try to hold off as long as possible. Once Prime Minister Chita transfers the main Tibetan forces into Heyuan City, we can set off."

Qin Shu sat on the wooden pier and took a sip of strong wine and said irritably.

Some of the army that went out this time were old brothers who had followed him for many years, and he asked him to send his brothers to death with his own hands.

To be honest, this feeling is not pleasant.

Wu Liang seemed to know what he was thinking and sighed.

"Let's be open-minded. You and I are both small people. It's good to be able to save your own lives. How can we care about them?"

"I just hope that after the war is over, the Tibetan people will be satisfied with our sincere surrender and give us what they promised us."

Qin Shu nodded.

"That's all it can do."

While talking, a guard came over, took out a secret letter from his arms, and whispered.

"Two generals, the Prime Minister of Tibet has sent a secret message for your review."

"Finally news!"

Wu Liang's eyes lit up and he hurriedly grabbed the secret letter and tore off the paint.

When he saw Chita ambushing a hundred thousand troops at the source of the river and ordered him to lead the troops into the trap, he was all excited.

The long wait is finally over.

"Come here, give the order to the army to assemble. Make sure there is no mistake!"

Boom boom boom!

The rapid drum beat suddenly sounded, and tens of thousands of troops ran out of the camp in panic, wondering if a war was about to begin.

Those who came after hearing the news frowned slightly when they saw Li and Tong put on heavy armor.

"Two generals, what do you mean by drumming late at night?"

"Haha, I received a secret report that the main Tibetan force stationed in Heyuan City has moved south to Fuqi City. It is a time when the city's defenses are empty."

"If we make a sneak attack at this time, we will definitely catch the Tibetans by surprise."

Speaking of this, Wu Liang looked up at the moonlight and urged.

"General Li, it is not advisable to delay the army. We should set off as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we miss the opportunity, it will be difficult to capture Heyuan again."

Seeing that the two people had the same attitude, Li Tong sneered in his heart and pretended to agree on the surface.

"Since the opportunity is rare, we really should give it a try."

The three of them briefly discussed and then led the army towards Heyuan City.

Halfway through, a bodyguard with an order flag on his back and a tiger talisman caught up and shouted to the three of them.

"The general of the Hussars has given an order to suspend the march. You will report to us as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Wu Liang and Qin Shu looked at each other and frowned. The army was only thirty miles away from the source of the river.

What is Fan Xin doing with them at this time?

"May I ask, young general, where is the Duke now? Can you wait until we finish the battle before reporting to his old man?"

After thinking about it, Wu Liang still felt that he should ask clearly.

The guards bowed their hands to him politely.

"Go back to Mr. Wu, the Duke of Guo is currently at Fenglingkou, twenty miles behind the army. It is said that there is a new decree from the court, and the three of you are asked to go together to receive the decree."

"That's it, okay then."

Wu Liang could still refuse other matters by using the excuse that he would not accept foreign military orders, but the imperial edict was not acceptable.

Even if there is a knife coming from the sky, you have to go and receive the imperial edict.

However, in order to prevent accidents, Wu Liang and Qin Shu specially brought hundreds of guards with them to save their lives in case of danger.

After ordering people to take care of the army, a group of three people followed the guards and ran towards Fenglingkou. The distance of twenty miles was not even enough for the war horses to use a stick of incense, and they soon arrived at Fenglingkou.

Call!

After reining in his horse, Wu Liang glanced at Fenglingkou. There were only more than a hundred Qianniu Guards wearing flying bear uniforms and red coats, and it didn't look like there was an ambush.

The two exchanged glances, jumped off their horses and walked towards the people in the pavilion.

"Your Majesty Wu Liang, Qin Shu is here to see the prince! I wonder what purpose you are announcing when you call us here late at night?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the pavilion turned around and laughed.

"Who are you!"

Seeing that the person in front of them was not Fan Xin, Wu Liang and the others were startled and took two steps back.

The man smiled slightly and said calmly.

"My official name is Li Lang, Director of the Intelligence Department! You two, you had an affair with Tibet, which resulted in the tragic death of our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. What crime should you deserve?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Wu Liang and the two men changed slightly, and they quietly touched the handle of the knife with their right hands and said warily.

"Nonsense, what evidence do you have that we are having an affair with the Tubo people? Where is the Duke? We want to see him!"

"Well, since you won't shed tears until you see the coffin, I will let you give up this idea completely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man with sinister eyebrows and stern eyes walked out from behind the beam. He looked like the person who had sent the message to Wu Liang earlier.

"It's you!"

"Haha, you two generals have good memories, so I recognize them."

"You traitor betrayed us!"

Seeing that the matter was revealed, Wu Liang and Qin Shu suddenly looked fiercely in their eyes, drew their sabers and shouted loudly.

"Where are the personal guards? Kill these spies pretending to be Qianniu Guards!"

However, no matter how they shouted, the guards behind them did not dare to move, because at some point a large number of Qianniu Guards appeared around Fenglingkou.

A dense mass of guns have been pointed at them, and if they move, they will be shot into hedgehogs.

"I would like to advise you two to explain the crimes you have committed as soon as possible, otherwise these arrows will not have eyes."

Li Lang said with a smile.

Wu Liang's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and threw away the weapon in his hand. Qin Shu was even more unbearable and collapsed directly on the ground.

After ordering people to take the two thieves away, Li Lang came to Li Tong.

"General Li, the Duke has ordered that once the main Tibetan forces leave Heyuan, you must capture this city as quickly as possible."

"Then we will go to Fuqi City with the Shenji Battalion and the Heavy Artillery Battalion to attack the Tibetan army from both inside and outside with the Duke of the State!"

Li Tong's face turned solemn and he cupped his fists.

"Don't worry, Director Li. The general will arrive at Fuqi City on time according to the Duke's instructions. If there is any delay, I am willing to come and see you!"

"please!"

Li Lang nodded, turned around and said to the man with stern eyebrows and rat eyes: "Qian Hua, you are proficient in Tubo language. Immediately inform Chita of the fall of Fuqi City."

"As ordered!"

Qian Hua cupped his fists, climbed on his horse and ran towards the source of the river. After several hours of traveling, he finally arrived at the city gate when the sun rose.

"Stop, who is coming!" A Tibetan defender on the city gate shot an arrow in front of the horse.

"Shut up!"

Da Ma spun around twice and Qian Hua raised the token in his hand.

"I am a personal attendant of General Wu Liang. I have important news to report to Prime Minister Chita. Please open the city gate as soon as possible!"
