Chapter 218: Disdainful Mercy

In the Hexi Corridor, Gu Qing watched the soldiers repair their worries. Songtsen Gampo was quite smart. After all, Tubo has not had a large population. This battle completely awakened Tubo. Songtsen Gampo played Hezonglianheng to the Middle East and started diplomacy? I have to say that this idea is very good. The question is whether Songtsen Gampo can invite food?

The good news came from Xue Yantuo's battlefield in Shuozhou. General Li Ji also conquered Xue Yantuo's army and recovered Shuozhou.

The discussion began in the big tent, and Su Dingfang said to Yuchi Gong, "General, the last general thinks we will take advantage of the victory and pursue it. If Songtsen Gampo brings reinforcements again, we may have to go through another hard battle. It is better to take advantage of the unstable morale of the Tubo army now and we will kill all the way."

Yuchi Gong looked at Gu Qing, "What do you think?"

"There is not enough gunpowder, and I am still working on it now." Gu Qing said, "Su Dingfang is right. I don't think this opportunity can be missed. We can divide a small group of troops to attack Tubo along the way, so that their morale will not be stabilized."

Fang Yiai asked tentatively, "I..."

"Say!" Yuchi Gong spoke.

"I heard from my father that I said early on." Fang Yiai said, "The trade route from Tubo across the Western Regions has always been leading to Dashi. The trade route has been unstable in recent years. From the Sui Dynasty to the current century, Dashi has always wanted to control this trade route. I think they will definitely interfere in the war between us and Tubo, and will send large troops. We must prepare early."

When Gu Qing heard the word "Business Road", he suddenly woke up. The four words "Silk Road" flashed through his mind. He was thinking about how many countries in the Middle East had the meaning of "a war in the Middle East".

"Dashi." Yuchi Gong thought, "Isn't it just a group of barbarians?"

Dashi Domestic

Songtsen Gampo and the king of Dashi successfully lobbed. He looked at the two men around him. These two were from Guanzhong but could speak Indian dialect and even Dashi's language. What was the origin of these two people?

The war elephants of India were taken from the hands of the Indians.

Hexi Corridor

At the foot of Qilian Mountains, tens of thousands of war horses were pulled from the grasslands. These war horses were pulled from the Turkic grasslands. Today, the Tang Dynasty Protectorate has long been built on the Turkic grasslands.

The war horses neighed, and Wang Jin and Yuchi Gong stayed behind to make gunpowder and grenades.

Cheng Chumo looked at Tang Xuanzang who had been chanting scriptures and said to Gu Qing, "He has been chanting scriptures for several days and has it been over."

"Let him go." Gu Qing turned over to the horse without caring.

Bian Ji came to Gu Qing and said, "Donor Gu, can you kill less? I am merciful."

"Sorry, I never believe in your style, nor do you have any mercy." Gu Qing looked at Bian Ji disdainfully.

"You!" Bian Ji pointed at Gu Qing, "If you kill innocent people indiscriminately, you will be retribution."

Holding the reins, Gu Qing turned over and got off the horse and walked to Bian Ji, "Who do you think is innocent?"

Facing Gu Qing with a gloomy face, Bian Ji stepped back step by step, "What do you... want to do?"

"Who do you say is innocent?" Gu Qing approached step by step. "The Tubo people are raging in the Hexi Corridor. They have killed so many of our Tang soldiers and so many unarmed caravans. Do you think the Tubo people are innocent? Or in your eyes, should our Tang soldiers die?"

Cheng Chumo stepped forward and punched Bian Ji in the face, and the man was knocked to the ground on the spot.

Gu Qing squatted down and looked at the embarrassed Bian Ji and said, "What does your mercy have to do with us?"

"There is a cycle of reincarnation in the way of heaven. Gu Qing, you will be retribution for killing people like this!" Bian Ji said gritting his teeth.

"I'll let you retribution!" Cheng Chumo walked forward and punched him, "Who are you cursing to kill you? Believe it or not, I'll kill you first!"

Cheng Chumo beat Bian Ji, and Gu Qing looked at him coldly.

Protecting his head, Bian Ji endured Cheng Chumo's beating, and the soldiers around him looked over.

It was not until Cheng Chumo's beating stopped that Bian Ji slowly opened his eyes and wanted to stand up from the ground in a mess. Cheng Chumo stepped on Bian Ji again, "You remember, I won't kill you today, it's my mercy to you. If you can return to Chang'an alive, remember to burn incense and kowtow to our soldiers in the Tang Dynasty!"

"Okay, okay!" Fang Yiai pulled Cheng Chumo, "What are you calculating about with a bald donkey?"

"Bah!" Cheng Chumo spitted at the Bian Ji.

"Hurry up!" Su Dingfang said on his horse, "Don't delay the military plane."

Su Dingfang, Gu Qing, Cheng Chumo, Fang Yiai, four young men rode their horses and led an army of 30,000 toward the Tubo area in the Hexi Corridor.

Yuchi Gong led the army to the rear, and as a supporter, he had to wait for the explosives to be made.

Wang Jin watched the army leave the barracks and said to Yuchi Gong, "The General wants to go too."

"Let the young people go, they are more aggressive than me. I am old and can't make trouble a few times." Yuchi Gong said with a smile.

"Actually, the Hexi Corridor has been taken back. I think I can wait for news from the court." Wang Jin said with a smile.

"I can't wait." Yuchi Gong said, "It will take as long as three days from Chang'an to the Hexi Corridor. Now there are very few firearms left. If the Tubo people are regaining their vitality, we can't stand it again. The battlefield changes rapidly and it depends on who will seize the opportunity first. In other words, it is said that the orders of the kings outside will not be accepted."

As Yuchi Gong spoke, Wang Jin understood that this might be the last time Yuchi Gong went to war. The so-called generals are not subject to the orders of all the people outside the country are biased. If something goes wrong, Yuchi Gong will still be responsible. Even if nothing goes wrong, Yuchi Gong will be suspicious.

It seems that this general Yuchi Gong will live in Chang'an with General Li Jing and General Qin Qiong in the future. A generation of new people will change the old people, and the Tang Dynasty will change.

With the sound of horse hooves, 30,000 troops bypassed the pass of the Hexi Corridor and came all the way to Tubo.

Lu Dongzan was preparing for a large army to attack the Hexi Corridor again. A Tubo man came and shouted, "Military advisor! A large number of Tang troops appeared behind us!"

"Rear?" Lu Dongzan looked back, "What do they want to do!? Surround us?"

"They went toward my plateau, and there seemed to be no intention of surrounding us."

Lu Dongzan thought in his heart that if the Tang army in the rear was cut off from the rear, he would be a lonely army in the Hexi Corridor. If he was tied up by the Tang army in the rear, he would be dead. As a military advisor next to Songzan Gampo, Lu Dongzan has heard many stories about war in Guanzhong and even secretly bought military books.
