Chapter 210 The Hexi Corridor is in an emergency again
The Hexi Corridor was in a hurry again and again. In Chang'an, the night was shrouded in the dark, Gu Qing sat alone in the Dali Temple prison. The prison guards kept asking about the news about the Hexi Corridor. Su Dingfang and Yuchi Gong) struggled to defend. Li Er had sent three reinforcements, and was worried in his heart how Tubo could force Su Dingfang and Yuchi Gong to this point.
It was already dark, and Li Er sat in his Yanqing Hall, with candlelight shining on his gloomy face, looking at the battle report sent by the Hexi Corridor again and again.
Cheng Yaojin, Niu Jinda, and Qin Qiong have been standing outside Yanqing Hall to ask for battle. They have been standing for five hours and have not left.
"Erlang, it's getting late." Empress Changsun brought Li Er a cup of tea.
"Are they still outside?" Li Er asked.
Empress Changsun nodded, stood up from the heavy Li Er, walked out of Yanqing Hall and looked at the three generals who had followed him for half their lives and said, "You go back, I have your own thoughts."
"Your Majesty, let the last general go!" Cheng Yaojin said, "I, Cheng, will definitely catch Songtsen Gampo back."
"Go back." Li Er said exhaustedly.
...
The war in the Hexi Corridor was concerned about the people's hearts. Li Tai sat in his literary museum and watched the scholars and scholars speak passionately, feeling bored.
There were many people in the Literature Museum. Some people said that His Majesty should send General Li Jing, and some people said that they should talk to Tubo...
"You're enough!" Li Tai slapped the table and cursed angrily, "You are talking about the country one by one. If you have the ability to go to the Hexi Corridor to fight with Tubo, you might as well compile the landmarks for me!"
Li Tai immediately fell into silence when he scolded him.
The people in Chang'an City were also discussing the war in the Hexi Corridor. The dwarf came back and came to Yang Sheng's side, "Yang Touer, the monk said it's okay, I'll come back."
Yang Sheng nodded and looked at a stranger wandering in the village. He looked at the other person's behavior and footsteps and asked the dwarf, "Which guy is whose eyes? I have always come to the village to check recently."
The short man glanced at him and recalled, "This guy, he is a general of the Central Army. He is called Li Junxian and is stationed at Xuanwu Gate. We said that this guy is quite close to Su Dingfang."
"No!" said the short man again, "He shouldn't be the spy sent by the palace."
"That's right, it shouldn't be wrong." Yang Sheng nodded and said, "The palace sent someone to protect the bookstore was the soldiers and horses that this person brought."
"Do you want me to be him?" The short man was eager to try.
Yang Sheng thrust violently and hit the back of the dwarf's head, "Do it! You know how to do it all day long. Can he move around in the palace? If we touch this nail, the one in the palace will probably not spare Gu Qing."
"That's right, that's right." The dwarf looked thoughtful.
"To you." Yang Sheng kicked the short man in the ass, "Do you understand? You don't know what to do if you don't know, it's right! Do you understand what you see? Hurry up and go back to the monk, and I'm so upset to see you."
"Oh, I'm going now." The short man left with a smile.
Zhang Yugong and his group came to the lake building with masks to protect a carriage and stopped. Wu Mei and Di Renjie walked off the carriage and carried some gifts in their hands.
Sister Yue stood on the tower of the lake and looked at the people protecting the carriage. They held the long sword placed in the scabbard in their hands with masks. A murderous aura that was honed from the battlefield and the sea of blood permeated among these people. Sister Yue whispered, "Is this Gu Qing's Qing Gang? This murderous aura is really amazing."
"Hmm?" Gao Yang, who heard Sister Yue's words, poked his head out and realized that Wu Mei was coming. "She still dares to come?"
"Don't mess around." Sister Yue whispered to Gao Yang, and walked down Yuehu to welcome Wu Mei in person.
The Detachment of Women who were guarding around him didn't know who was coming. When he saw Sister Yue greeted him personally, he knew that the identity of the person who was coming was not simple.
"You are Wu Mei, I have heard of you. I grew up with Gu Qing in Taoist temple." Sister Yue said to Wu Mei with a smile, looking at Di Renjie beside her, "Boy, I'm right, this woman is Gu Qing's wife Ru."
"It's the master's wife." eleven-year-old Di Renjie replied.
"I've met Sister Yue." Wu Mei said politely, "I heard from my husband talk about Sister Yue several times, and then I came to visit me."
"Come in and sit down." Sister Yue said, inviting.
When Wu Mei walked into Yuehu, she saw Gao Yang, but she smiled slightly and said nothing.
Gao Yang turned his head aside and refused to look at Wu Mei.
Sister Yue was also helpless in the strange atmosphere.
Several people were talking in the lake tower, and Gao Yang and Wu Mei often had their eyes collided, and the two of them never said a word from beginning to end.
A fast horse came to Chang'an, and the one riding a soldier was riding his armor, and his body was covered in blood. "An urgent report from the Hexi Corridor! Tubo's troops increased by another 100,000, and the Hexi Corridor was in critical condition!"
This war report touched the hearts of the entire Chang'an people.
Seeing this battle report, Li Er's heart was thrust, and Tubo's troops increased by another 100,000! Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji were nervous.
"Does Songzan Gampo want to launch a national war with me?" Li Er General Li held his hand hard.
Songtsen Gampo was really playing, but this time I finally saw it clearly. Fang Xuanling has always been wondering where Songtsen Gampo got his strength and dared to challenge the Tang Dynasty today. After reading the war report, he realized that behind Songtsen Gampo was joining forces with those small countries in the southwest. Tianzhu gave Tubo tens of thousands of war elephants.
Dali Temple, in the dungeon...
Li Tai was also talking about these things to Gu Qing, "Are those war elephants the same as those in small southern countries?"
"Different!" Gu Qing thought in his heart that the war elephant had been tamed a few hundred BC. The war elephant was used in the war between the Persian Empire and Alexander in BC. It has continued until now that fighting elephants has long become a weapon of war. Tianzhu is the ancient Yindu (defense harmony). They tamed the war elephant a thousand years ago. Something must have happened in Tianzhu. They said they would not participate in the war.
Songtsen Gampo is really a talented man. When did he stretch out his hand so long? Even the elephants from Southeast Asia have been moved here, not far away. Tubo went south to India and Southeast Asia.
Tens of thousands of hill-like war elephants were enough to level the Hexi Corridor.
"Gu Qing, let's talk about it, how to deal with it when there is something different." Li Tai said anxiously.
