Chapter 995 Kindness
The next day, Gu Qing did not sleep well again. Su Dingfang said goodbye when he woke up. He watched the rain falling again. Thinking about it carefully, it was already June. He took a sip of tea and watched the rain falling between the sky.
Cheng Mansion, Cheng Chumo sat at the door of the house and watched the heavy rain. He whispered to Cheng Yaojin, who was wiping the axe beside him, "Old man, we are going to fight again."
"Everyone knows it all." Cheng Yaojin nodded and said, "It's a pity that I'm older, otherwise I would have personally led the army."
If we say that Cheng Chumo wanted to lead the army to fight in the past, but after the years of experience, the passion in his heart has been tempered by the court. Gu Qing is now guarded by Li Chengqian, and Su Dingfang left the army. Now there are people in the army whom he didn't know. There were brothers who could go out to fight together to fight together, but now he doesn't have that kind of thought, and that passion has been destroyed by the power and tricks of the court.
"Do you think Xue Rengui can block it?" Cheng Chumo asked again.
"How did I know?" Cheng Yaojin said.
Tubo, Songtsen Gampo and the officials of the Tang Dynasty's Protectorate moved all the people of the Tubo tribes to the rear border of Tubo.
The plateau that is thousands of miles wide open in front of you will become a battlefield afterwards. Songtsen Gampo is riding a horse and waiting for news about Lu Dongzan.
More than an hour later, a fast horse galloped over. Lu Dongzan came to Songzan Gampo and grabbed the horse and said, "Xue Rengui's army has come to this place and is now stationed in Qinghai to repair it."
Upon hearing this news, Songtsen Gampo finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "All the people of our tribe have moved away, and I don't know what the outcome of this battle will be."
"Do you think Gu Qing will come?" Lu Dongzan asked.
"No." Songtsen Gampo shook his head and said, "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty will not let Gu Qing take a step out of Chang'an, and he will never be able to do this in his life."
Lu Dongzan fell into silence.
Knowing what he was worried about, Songtsen Gampo said to Lu Dongzan: "But don't worry, there are no firearms in the West, so they may not be Xue Rengui's opponents. Xue Rengui followed Gu Qing and the others to fight back then, and was also a general brought by Gu Qing and Su Dingfang."
"I know Xue Rengui is reliable, but if Gu Qing comes, maybe his chances of winning may be greater."
Songtsen Gampo also nodded. Gu Qing's reputation was very famous around the Tang Dynasty. From the west to the Western Regions and east to Japan and Goguryeo, Gu Qing's reputation was very famous. It is rumored that every time Gu Qing goes to war, he will be slaughtered by mountains of corpses and blood. It is Gu Qing's battle at Yanmen Pass that almost killed the Turks.
With Gu Qing in the Tang Dynasty, no one dared to offend the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, Songtsen Gampo knew better that if it were not forcing him, the Tang Dynasty would not have touched Gu Qing.
A scout from the Tubo tribe rode a horse from the front of Tubo and said, "Zamp! The Persian army began to move."
Lu Dongzan looked gloomy, "Is Persia going to take action?"
Songtsen Gampo rode his horse and headed towards Persia. After riding for half a day, he could see the Persian territory in the distance. Persians were constantly preparing to leave their homes with salutes, forming a long line retreating.
"What should these people do?" Lu Dongzan asked Songzan Gampo.
The horse seemed to dislike the dry wind in Persia and kept sniffing.
Lu Dongzan fell silent and watched the long line retreat from Persia. It could be seen that the carriages were all Persian nobles, those who were hiking were some Persian civilians, and those who were ragged and barefoot were Persian slaves.
"It seems they are heading towards Tianzhu?" Lu Dongzan looked at the direction of the team walking.
"So many Persians want to escape, the Indians may not necessarily accommodate them." Songtsen Gampo was thrilling as he watched this scene. Although these Persians had nothing to do with him, looking at the elderly, weak, sick and young in the team, from another perspective, if these escaped people were Tubo people, how could he tolerate others' dissuasion? Once the army of Rome and the Great Food arrived, these people would not be able to survive.
"Lu Dongzan." Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth and said, "You bring a few warriors from the tribes. We can accommodate the elderly, weak, sick and young, and we will not accept any other Persians."
Lu Dongzan bowed to Songzan Gampo and immediately went to do things. Songzan Gampo still had a kind heart at least worthy of his admiration.
Withdrew his eyes and stopped looking at them, Songtsen Gampo rode back to his camp. The battle was ahead of him, many people from the Tubo tribe couldn't sleep well.
"Zanpu, General Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty is here." A warrior came to the tent and said.
Songtsen Gampo immediately walked out of the tent, "Where are the people?"
"I'm here." Xue Rengui stood not far away and greeted with a smile.
"Long time no see General Xue Rengui." Songtsen Gampo smiled and looked at Xue Rengui with gratitude, "I really thank you very much for helping us."
"Don't thank me, I'm just a soldier who will do things by listening to the court." Xue Rengui said.
Seeing that there was a general beside Xue Rengui, Songtsen Gampo asked curiously: "Who is this?"
"He is Wang Xuance and my deputy general." Xue Rengui introduced.
"Please come in quickly." Songtsen Gampo invited.
Xue Rengui took Wang Xuance into Songtsen Gampo's camp, and smelled the unique question in the Tubo camp, Xue Rengui sat down and said, "After the first parting, several years have passed without realizing it. How are these years doing?"
"It's pretty good." Songtsen Gampo poured Xue Rengui a cup of butter tea. "In recent years, Tubo can have this time to cultivate and rest, otherwise life will be difficult."
"I know everything." Xue Rengui nodded, "I still remember that there were many conflicts between you and Persia and India for this business road. I heard that you hosted many Persian refugees. How did Persia fight against Tubo at the time? Now Tubo can help. I, Xue Rengui, admire your heart."
Songtsen Gampo poured butter tea to Xue Rengui again and said, "Don't worry, General Xue, although we have hosted these refugees, we are ready for the food of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. As long as your army can come, we will give all the food and grass to Tubo, which is absolutely enough."
Xue Rengui smiled meaningfully, "Don't worry, we brought a lot of military rations, I just admire your actions."
Songtsen Gampo nodded.
Xue Rengui continued: "Our army can station in front of Tubo within three days, with a total of 100,000 troops."
"Thank you." Songtsen Gampo said.
