Chapter 553 The River and the Great Food

"A simple task is not a big problem." Gu Qing looked at them and said, "When the war is over, you will hand over the situation in your family to me and you will entrust merchants to bring your relatives to you."

The officials nodded, "Thank you, Shangshu Ling. If you have anything to do, I need help from me when I go back, just give me instructions. As long as I can help, I will wait."

"You're welcome, I do have something to tell you, but the same thing is true. When the war is over, we're continuing to discuss."

"Of course, of course." Several officials saluted Gu Qing and left together.

"What are you saying to them?" Cheng Chumo was eating a cake, holding a piece in his hand, "Take a bite?"

"Okay!" Gu Qing took the cake and ate it.

"You made the arrangements for Lu Dongzan?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"Yes? What's wrong?"

"I thought of going with Su Dingfang." Cheng Chumo sat cross-legged on the grass, "But Gu Qing, there is one thing I want to talk to you. The general in charge of this marching is Su Dingfang."

"Yes, I want to talk to Su Dingfang first."

"No need." Cheng Chumo said again, "It's no big deal. Lao Fang is more worry-free, but the military affairs still have to follow the rules of the army. Although Su Dingfang didn't say it, I want to talk to you. We are all brothers on weekdays, but we still have to follow the rules in the army."

"According to the rules, I am Su Dingfang's right-sponsor, in charge of military affairs." Gu Qing looked at Cheng Chumo, "Are you the deputy general going to salute me?"

"I think beautifully." Cheng Chumo turned his head.

The two of them fell into silence again, eating each other. This is the border of Tubo. Relatively speaking, this place is more deserted than the plateau. The grass here is withered and yellow.

"Gu Qing, I had a question for you a long time ago." Cheng Chumo wiped his mouth after eating the cake, "What exactly is the salted duck egg you mentioned earlier?"

"It's just eggs, but it costs salt to make, so I didn't think about making them."

"Oh." Cheng Chu nodded thoughtfully.

On the other side, the Tubo scouts and the Tang army scouts were patrolling together. This was the place that had just been swept by sandstorms. Seeing the big cannibals emerge from the sand, one after another, in less than one stick of incense, an army of as many as 200,000 cannibals appeared in front of me.

"Go back and report immediately and prepare for the battle!" the scout said loudly.

There was news from the camp that everyone in Su Dingfang's tent was here, "A sandstorm almost buried half of Persia."

Cheng Chumo said in a furious manner, "How long have you been waiting for them! Finally, Lao Fang gave me ten thousand soldiers and horses. I'll kill them now."

"What's the rush?" Su Dingfang glanced at Cheng Chumo and said again: "Gu Qing's landmines helped us stop them. Now they can't get through for a while."

"You can stop them in the Murgabu River." Lu Dongzan whispered, "The terrain there is very beneficial to your Tang army. You can use your crossbows and firearms to attack them through the river."

Cheng Chumo looked at Lu Dongzan and said, "Gu Qing, why did you ask this guy to fight against Tianzhu? It would be better for him to be a guide."

"I will ask my subordinates to lead the way for you." Lu Dongzan said, "The Tang Dynasty needs to concentrate its troops to attack Dashi. We, Tubo, will keep an eye on Tianzhu, please rest assured."

"There may be more than 200,000 troops." Yang Sheng said frowningly, "With such a large force, is there enough firearms?"

"Even if you don't use a firearm, my two big axes from Cheng can still make the big food kill you."

Cheng Chumo's appearance was exactly the same as Cheng Yaojin's. It was carved from a mold, with a big beard on his chin and a loud voice, and his tone of speaking and two big Xuanhua axes. It looked like a young version of Cheng Yaojin.

"Catch the army and let's set off immediately!" Su Dingfang issued an order, "A decisive battle with the cannibals in the Murgabu River!"

After ordering, the army immediately prepared. Gu Qing looked at Yang Sheng and kept looking at the sky, "What are you looking at!"

"Why isn't there any thunder this day?" Yang Sheng said with a frown.

"Where does the thunder come from winter now?" Gu Qing held his forehead, "Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks."

The soldiers who had just recovered their spirits immediately brought their weapons to prepare for war, preparing to fight with Dashi. Su Dingfang looked at his soldiers and said that his morale had improved a lot now, not as lifeless as when he first came.

"Slaughtered the big food!" Cheng Chu roared silently and set out with his troops first.

"Old Fang!" Gu Qing looked at Cheng Chumo who was moving forward and said, "After this battle, we will enter the warehouse and release our horses to the Nanshan Mountain to live a comfortable life. From then on, I, Gu Qing, will never leave the customs again!"

"It's just my wish." Su Dingfang nodded, "After this battle, no wife and children will be separated again!"

"Helping!" Yang Sheng rode his horse.

Su Dingfang urged the horses under him to advance, and the army followed behind and walked towards the Murgabu River.

Lu Dongzan gathered his 20,000 Tubo warriors and 10,000 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty, and headed against the army towards the border between India and Tubo. All countries on the Silk Road had their eyes around watching the movement of the war. The victory or loss of the Tang Dynasty was related to the peace of the entire Silk Road.

There were wolves eating corpses on the battlefield, vultures howled on dead branches, and the northwest wind was still shouting.

The army marched ten miles away, and the Murgabu River was in front of us. This river was neither big nor small, with a very calm water flow and some vegetation around it, like a small oasis that separates the two sides of the straits.

"Where has the big cannibal gone?" Su Dingfang asked the scout who had just returned.

"It's almost here, less than a few miles away from us, and you can reach us in less than a stick of incense." The scout replied.

Gu Qing took the people from the Firearm Bureau all the way upstream, looked at the terrain and found a suitable location, and ordered, "Get all the turmeric oil."

"yes!"

Su Dingfang was also preparing here, and camping began several miles away from the Murgabu River. The big cannibals could not find the Tang army, which was on the other side of the river. As long as the big cannibals dared to cross the river, they would fall into the trap of fighting on the back and forth, and the chances of victory would be much greater by then.

Yang Sheng waited for more than half an hour but didn't see Gu Qing come back. He turned over and swam upwards. When he saw Gu Qing, he immediately came closer, "How is it?"

"Wait for them to cross the river." Gu Qing sat on the oil barrel, "Look at where."
