Chapter 377: Brave to the Han Diao (IV)

Ye Ci Mingyue's family did not leave and was still waiting for news from Li Wei.

Looking at his sister who didn't want to see Chawu, Ye Ci Mingshan sighed, and it would be better to persuade him.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside. Ye Cimingshan opened the door, but was shocked. A heavy snow leopard struck a heavy snow leopard on his shoulder and walked in.

He threw the snow leopard on the ground and said, "Mingshan, this is a leopard I killed. It is not hurt, I will give it to your sister...My Lady Mingyue."

I endured my sister back, but my name was not officially decided, so it was hard to call her.

After looking at Hei Ya Changzhi, he saw that he still had many injuries on his body, he asked hesitantly: "What's going on?"

"I'm too lazy to use a knife, so I beat it to death with my fist, so my fur is still intact." I was extremely depressed. I heard that a leopard in Cuishan was hurting people, so I took a group of guards and drove it out, and then fought each other. I actually made him beat it to death. Seeing him fighting with the big leopard with bare hands, this fierce man made a group of guards sweat. Then I immediately carried it to Shanzhou City with a strong horse.

"Thank you, General."

"No need to thank you. This time, Heichi refused to obey the military order and forced the army out of Chiling. I guess I won't be able to stay in Qinghai for long. If your family needs anything, just speak."

Ye Ci Mingyue suddenly spoke, "General Black-toothed, do you think the prince will escape from danger?"

“Yes, I will.”

"Don't lie to me."

"No," he said that, and fled in panic, and led a group of guards to a restaurant and drank depressedly. After drinking, he went to find Li Jingxuan. Li Jingxuan was very conscious of this man. Hei-Too Changzhi carried the leopard into the city, which caused a sensation, so he went to drink again. After hearing about it, he left Shanzhou City together to prevent him from getting drunk.

He went back to Shancheng with a cursing curse.

But the grief of Heichi Changzhi and Qi Bi Ming awakened the courage in the hearts of the soldiers. Seeing this situation, Lunzanpo would not make any trouble, defended various cities and stopped the attack. But since then, the merchants from all the merchants in Tuyuhun came to Tangjing to go to the business, and the news finally started to rise.

...

The sun gradually sets, and a trace of worry flashes in Li Wei's eyes.

Everyone calls it the summer ice and snow of Poluo Zhen Valley, but it is not that scary. However, Poluo Zhen Valley is located in the southeast corner of Dulan, Qinghai. Due to the terrain, the temperature here is very low all year round, with an average annual temperature of only one to five degrees. But it is not the most terrifying. The most important thing is that the temperature difference between day and night is large, and there are many snow mountains on both sides, forming an airflow of empty valleys, causing the cold air of the snow mountain to circle here. At night, it will be very cold here.

Besides, it is now the end of October.

Listening to the wind on both sides of the mountain like ghosts crying and wolf howling, Li Wei asked, "The scouts ahead have not come back yet?"

"No."

"We're going to spend the night here." Li Wei said, looking around, it was just a bare Gobi Desert. It was hard to find some dead trees that could attract bonfires.

"If you want to spend the night, you have to take the morning, and if you are a little later, you won't see the scenery."

"It's better to pass this valley." Li Wei sighed, only knowing that there is this valley, but the Tang Dynasty lost Tuyuhun for a long time and there is no detailed record. I don't know how long this valley is. I chose to enter this valley at dawn, but the bad weather is still unimaginable. The cold is extremely cold, and almost turned into ice. As soon as a person speaks, large clusters of white snow immediately pops up, and three wounded soldiers have frozen to death on the horse's back.

If you spend the night in this valley, you may expect the situation tomorrow morning.

At this moment, two scouts ran over on horseback and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, there is a Poluo Zhen Valley not far ahead. You can see the Han Crying Mountain."

Han Crying Mountain is the Ela Mountain, which belongs to the branch of Kunlun Mountain. The Tibetan name is very beautiful, meaning a green mountain. But it turns out that Tuyuhun is not the name. The name is translated as Han Crying Mountain. It means that the sea is high and most places are radiating more than 4,000 meters. When the Han people arrived here, they could only cry desperately due to altitude sickness. Li Jing didn't care, so he directly translated it and quoted, you said that I was Han people crying here, but why did I call me? I even chased you until Qiemo. He was thirsty in the desert and the soldiers drank horse blood, forcing your family to commit suicide.

The weather in Han Crying Mountain is still very cold, but it is not like the Fenggu climate here. So when Li Wei heard it, he said, "March quickly and leave the Puluozhen Valley."

As night falls, you can finally see tall mountains in the distance, shining with white figures in the night.

However, Li Wei knew that this difficult journey had only begun.

...

The army stopped, and many soldiers led the horses out and let the horses chew on the yellow grass.

However, the beautiful and rich Dafeichuan, which was once beautiful and rich, has become terrible. Many places can see burned ashes, and some ethnic groups shrank and rebuilt tents, but they were basically burned, so two or three families stayed in a tent for the time being. This is the Dafeichuan at present. More people fled to the distance, some were incorporated into other tribes, and some wandered everywhere. Many people were unable to survive this winter.

Mo He Khan followed Lunqinling and said carefully: "Da Lun, do you think Da Feichuan is like this? Can you... think of a solution?"

"You first allocate a batch of supplies from other places to slow down. I have made arrangements. I have secretly sent people to the Jiannan area of ​​the Tang Dynasty to buy and exchange a batch of food. Then I will also allocate a batch for you Tuyuhun."

This is the main reason why Lun Qinling did not expand its results and occupied more territory of the Tang Dynasty after many great victories. Tubo is now a big country, and in a sense, with the help of the plateau, he can compete with the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But this is a good measure. Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the country is still poor and the population base is insufficient. It can recruit 400,000 troops to join the war, but it cannot last long. After shooting for a while, it must be ended immediately, otherwise a major event will occur. But he is still an extremely militant in his heart, believing that if he does not fight the Tubo soldiers, he will slacken and decline. Moreover, when the war begins, as long as the war starts under a great victory, it will have many functions, establish the prestige of the Gar family and divert domestic conflicts and pressure.

He was also walking the tightrope, but he was just right. Zhang Chi was good at it. It was precisely because of his management that the national strength of Tubo was rising at least on the surface.

These great principles will never be told to Mo He. After thinking about it, he called out several Tuyuhun generals whom Li Wei called over that day and asked, "What did Prince Tang say to you that day?"

One of the generals talked about the day's conversation.

Lun Qinling laughed and said, "This prince is quite interesting. I'll say hello to you first."

Several generals did not say anything. The most worried thing was this. The Tang Dynasty also learned that the Tubo people were shameless and sent a large army to burn, kill and loot, and then Tuyuhun would suffer if he was caught in the middle.

"It's a pity that he didn't do well enough and didn't kill many people, otherwise this grassland would have begun to really lie."

It was just burning and robbing, except for the people who resisted, he really didn't raise any butcher knife. Compared to Tubo's defeat outside Dafeichuan City that day, he did everything to escape. Lun Qinling said again: "But he will wake up sooner or later. This Prince of Tang is an alternative. Fortunately, he is the prince. If he is an emperor, with his ability to employ people, it is unlikely that I would make a mistake. If the army is not concentrated to kill him in Qinghai, it will not only be a hidden danger for us Tubo, but also a hidden danger for you Tuyuhun people."

"So where does this Prince Tang want to escape?"

"That's so easy to guess, but most of them won't escape to Qiemo."

“Why?”

"The end is long, and many steep places are easy to block our army. The people living along the way are very rare, so it is very difficult to obtain supply. Once in a desperate situation, it is unlikely to have room for maneuver. However, this person is very unreasonable, so I also issued an order to let the soldiers of the Western Regions start to intercept them."

"So where will he escape?" Mo He asked worriedly.

"Come with me," he called Mo He to the tent, hung up a large map, and said, "Khan, look at the map. To the west of Songzhou in the Tang Dynasty, the northwest plateau was flat, and to the west of Gansongling was the territory of Dangxiang. There were many avenues to reach Dangxiang and Bailan Qiang tribes. This was one. The second was to take Pengpo Mountain from Yashan, or to take Baiyayi from Baiyayi to reach Jingzhou in the Tang Dynasty. From the Heishui River Valley, or from Shumochuan to reach Victoria in the Tang Dynasty. From the Rongyang River, or from the Songcheng (Kangding) to get the Hechuan Road,

Or take the Lingguan Road from my Yecheng (Maogong County area) to Lingguan. These three roads are all small (Wu Zetian proposed to open this mountain to attack Tubo, and Chen Ang wrote to block it), but the enemy only escaped, and could throw away his baggage and travel lightly, or use it to reach Yazhou. From my Lacheng to Beigu, you can also reach Lizhou. From my Songcheng, you can also reach Lizhou in the Tang Dynasty. This is only the section from Lizhou to Songzhou. There are several roads to Nanzhao below Lizhou. Although it is not easy to walk, it is enough to use it to escape. How do you think the prince of Tang chooses?"

"What the great thesis means is that the prince of the Tang Dynasty borrowed Bailan Qiang or Duomei's troops to sneak back to the Tang Dynasty?" Mo He was not in such a hurry to kill the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If he didn't kill the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Lunqinling would not stop using the military service, and Tuyuhun had to continuously replenish the logistics supply of hundreds of thousands of troops. But even he ignored a path, the path from Wuhai to the Dangxiang people, which was very difficult to walk.

"Well, you've grown up."

Lun Qinling is qualified to say this. It was his father Lu Dongzanping who destroyed Tuyuhun. This Khan was also supported by the Gar family. Because he was a puppet, he chose a child from the royal family to serve as Khan, which is Mo He. Many years have passed, and now Mo He has finally grown into a young man.

Mo He dared not speak.

"Well, you can start to understand something. When Princess Jibang of Zamp grows up, I will marry her to you as a princess."

Mang Song and Mangzan are also fertile, but they are very low. They have given birth to several daughters. This Princess of Jibang is one of them and is still very young now.

By saying this, we can see that Lunqinling's hands were used to cover the sky in Tubo. Not only was he governing the country, but he could intervene even if Zanpu's daughter got married.

"Thank you for a great speech." Mo He said, looking at the map again.

"Don't look at it, it may not be. Maybe he is still ambitious and will really kill us some cities." Lun Qinling joked, but said, "It's a pity that I still underestimated him. Otherwise, I would only send 5,000 elite soldiers to follow him, and another five,000 elite soldiers to Wuhai. There are still two thousand elite soldiers in Wuhai. When the Tang army escapes from Hanhui Mountain, because the mountain is high and the soldiers are weak, they can annihilate the Tang army in one fell swoop."

After saying that, he sighed again. The first time underestimated the third brother to lose his troops and generals, and the most regrettable thing was to lose the general Su Hegui of Tuyuhun. The second time underestimated, he sat down for another opportunity and had to send tens of thousands of troops to follow him.

But he stared at the map and was also wondering where the prince of the Tang Dynasty wanted to escape?

***: Note 1: There are three theories in Wuhai. One is Lake Toso, the most unreliable statement is Lake Toso, the west of Fuqi City. The other is Lake Toso, the south of Gonghe County. However, you can see the description of historical books. There are many rivers nearby, and they are close to Baihai. Looking north at Jishi Mountain, this is not in line with this. The third relatively unreliable statement is that Lake Tsona is the most credible in winter.
