It is hard to imagine that in such a harsh environment, you can eat meat every meal and even pickled pickles.

Pei Xingjian was eating hot millet rice and drinking broth, looking at the vast white snow outside, and at this moment he didn't feel trapped in the snow-capped mountains.

At the Potala Palace, Songtsen Gampo brought people to receive Su Dingfang who had just arrived here.

Knowing that Songtsen Gampo and Su Dingfang were talking about the current situation on the snow-capped mountains, "The snow-capped mountains have been sealed. General, don't worry, even the cannibals cannot enter at this time."

Su Dingfang looked a little anxious, "Are Xue Rengui and Pei Xingjian still in the snow-capped mountains?"

Songtsen Gampo looked back at the snow-capped mountains behind the Potala Palace, "It's still inside. Now they are trapped in the snow-capped mountains, and the situation will not be very good."

Seeing that Su Dingfang was still looking at him, Songzan Cadre said again: "We herders can't get out when entering the snow-capped mountains. The snow-capped mountains are very dangerous at this time. Even our herders are unwilling to go in at this time, let alone General Su Dingfang's army."

Su Dingfang stared at Songzan Cadre, "What will Xue Rengui and others encounter in the snow-capped mountains?"

Songtsen Gampo calmly drank a bowl of tea soup, "It may freeze to death. The heavy snow had just stopped a few days ago. The extreme cold water accumulated during that period turned into ice. No one could survive at this time."

"Then you just sit still!" Su Dingfang cursed angrily and angrily.

"If you want to die better, you will hide in a place where you can hide from the wind and snow. Even if the mountain is covered with heavy snow this month, you will be starved to death without food."

Su Dingfang picked up Songtsen Gampo's clothes and said angrily: "Do you mean they are dead?"

Songtsen Gampo smiled awkwardly, "I sincerely hope that they can survive. I have arranged for the monks to pray for them?"

Su Dingfang was furious, "Pray for blessings? Isn't praying for blessings just watching coldly, what a reason to watch on the wall openly!"

Songtsen Gampo sighed helplessly, "You Guanzhong people don't know the environment in Tubo, and don't know how to prepare for the wind and snow in advance. It's me, Zampo, didn't remind me in advance, it's my sin!"

Su Dingfang drew his sword and stood up, "If they can't come back alive, I want you and your tribe members to be buried with you. You know that there are Li Zheng's disciples in the snow-capped mountains."

Songzan's cadre glanced at the cold knife edge and whispered: "You will not kill me, and the court will not allow you to kill me, because I am valuable to you Zhongyuan. For Li Shimin, if I die, Tubo will become a mess again. Li Shimin and Li Zheng both want to get Tubo, control Tubo, and kill me, and ruin the plan of Li Shimin and Li Zheng. Can the general be afforded?"

Su Dingfang looked at Songtsen Gampo's expression. If he was not a general of the Tang Dynasty, he really wanted to kill him at this time, but he remembered what Li Zheng said to him.

As Songtsen Gampo said, the purpose of Li Shimin and Li Zheng was indeed to obtain Tubo.

At this time, we can't kill Songtsen Gampo.

Even if Xue Rengui and the others freeze to death on the snow-capped mountains, Songtsen Gampo should not be killed, otherwise what they have done over the years will be wasted.

Putting down Songtsen Gampo, Su Dingfang said with a pale face: "I'm rude."

Songtsen Gampo quickly saluted and said, "It's okay, if my people are left on the snow-capped mountains now, I will be worried."

Su Dingfang left the Potala Palace and found a herder at the foot of the mountain and asked, "Can you really not enter the snow-capped mountain now?"

The herdsmen were a little frightened when facing the Central Plains general and could not understand Guanzhong dialect. They saluted and ran away.

Su Dingfang returned to the camp and found the young man from the Western Regions who had followed the big bull.

"Can't you really get into the snow-capped mountains now?" Su Dingfang asked.

The third brother said to Su Dingfang: "I really can't get into the snow-capped mountains now. In the words of the Tubo people, the snow-capped mountains will eat people at this time."

Su Dingfang was in a state of ease, "I really don't want something wrong with them."

The third brother knew Su Dingfang's worries and wiped his dagger while saying, "Don't worry, General, all this is under the plan of Daniu. Even when will you meet General Su Dingfang, that is, before the general takes his men into the plateau, Daniu waits, and knows that the general's people will definitely have altitude sickness."

"You mean that all this is under the calculation of Daniu?"

The third brother smiled and said, "What kind of person is the big bull? He can take Gaochang and Xizhou with a thousand people. In the past two years, Songtsengan is playing around in Tubo. You don't have to worry about such a person."

"A person like Big Bull?"

Su Dingfang muttered to himself in skepticism.

The third brother said again: "The general brought people into Tubo, and the big bull asked me to take care of you. Now he is also in the snow-capped mountains. I think he knows how to get through it."

"really?"

"Of course, if even the big bull can't survive, then the general is useless to worry. Instead of preparing for the next thing wholeheartedly, the old king of Dashi will be in person. As soon as the spring of the next year, the general will still have to deal with the big cannibal attack."

After listening to the third brother's words, Su Dingfang sat down again, "Your Guanzhong dialect is really fluent. If you don't know that you are from the Western Regions, you would think you are talking to a Guanzhong person."

"It's all for the sake of business. We brothers start learning first. We must learn Guanzhong dialect well. Secondly, we can also speak Persian, Indian, Turkic dialect..."

The third brother's words calmed down Su Dingfang, and asked again: "Can you find them on the snow mountain?"

The third brother thought for a while and said, "Yes, but it's very difficult. You need to find very experienced herdsmen."

Su Dingfang said again: "Songzan Gampo said that no one was willing to go to the snow-capped mountains at this time."

The third brother held the pottery bowl and drank hot water and said, "Generally speaking, no one wants to enter the snow mountain. There is a medicine called snow lotus on the snow mountain. According to the word "word of Tubo herders", this snow lotus is a good thing to cure diseases and grows on the cold snow mountains."

"Someone asks for medicine, so naturally some people will take risks and go to the snow mountain to pick snow lotus. There are such herdsmen in Tubo, who will serve as guides for those who take risks. I happen to know a few such old herdsmen."

"really?"

The third brother nodded, "It will cost a lot of money to ask them to."

Su Dingfang asked anxiously: "How much is needed?"

The third brother whispered: "According to the price of Tubo, it costs 3,000 jin of silver."

"Three thousand stakes?"

Hearing this number, Su Dingfang took a breath. He sent troops outside and was full of war horses and food, so how could there be so much money?
