General, this was sent by the Governor of Song Dynasty. He said that he came here on the orders of the Governor to ask us to stop our march." After everyone had marched for more than ten miles, they saw several spies escorting a government servant and running away.

Come.

"History of Song Governor?" Qin Yong's expression changed, he glanced at the officer and said, "What did he ask you to tell me? Why did he ask me to stop the march?"

"Reporting to the General, General Chang Shi said that our army is not adapted to the climate and terrain of Tubo. As soon as the soldiers entered Songzhou, they would vomit and could not even breathe. Therefore, the General asked to suspend the use of troops and wait for the soldiers to

After getting familiar with the climate in Tubo, we can march forward." The Yamen servant looked at Qin Yong with a look of fear on his face, but he did not dare to neglect and quickly said what Chang Shi said.

"Is this what Chang Shi said? Didn't you mean it by the prefect?" Qin Yong on the side pondered for a while and then asked again.

"Back to the general, this is what Mr. Chang Shi meant. The prefect once said that the general is like a god with his troops. If he can defeat the Qinling of Tubo and escape in embarrassment, he must be sure of complete victory. The climate and geographical location of Tubo cannot stop him.

The champion is so powerful." The officer said with a smile.

"I know, General. I will go back and tell you the history of your parents. I have thanked him." Qin Yong nodded, but there was no trace of emotion on his stiff face, which made the government officer even more frightened.

.

"Yamen, how many years have you been in Songzhou?" Xue Rengui on the side suddenly asked.

"Returning to General Xue, the villain is Songzhou. He has grown up here since he was a child." The government officials did not dare to neglect. They glanced at Qin Yong. When they saw that his face was still expressionless, they did not dare to neglect and hurriedly

replied.

"How to enter Tubo territory from the Tang Dynasty?" Xue Rengui asked gently.

"Yinfeng Gorge." The Yamen servant said quickly: "Our Songzhou City strangles Minling, controls the source of the river, borders Helong on the left, and reaches Kangzang on the right. It shields Tianfu and locks the Yin border. It is a battleground for military strategists. After Yinfeng Gorge passes

It is the Ruoergai Prairie, but there are countless mountains and forests on both sides of the Yinfeng Gorge, and there are countless venomous snakes and beasts in it. The only way to enter the Ruoergai Prairie is through the Yinfeng Gorge."

"Is this what you said?" Qin Yong said lightly. Xue Rengui could also hear that there were a lot of words in it, which was not something that an ordinary government servant could say. He looked at the government servant with curious eyes.

"Reporting to the general, how can a villain be of this level? I only heard about it when I occasionally listened to Mr. Chang Shi's chat." There was an embarrassed look on the Yamen servant's face.

"General, I understand, let's go!" Qin Yong looked back at the Yinfeng Gorge behind him and frowned slightly. If you want to enter Tubo, you must enter through the Yinfeng Gorge, then enter the Ruoergai Prairie, and finally reach

Tubo territory will not be considered as entering other countries until then. But now Qinling guards Yinfeng Gorge, and it is obviously not possible for anyone to enter Yinfeng Gorge. This Qinling will definitely intercept him at Yinfeng Gorge

.

"Yes. The villain is leading the way." The yamen servant couldn't help but mop his forehead, but found that his forehead had been covered with cold sweat for some time. Who dared to stay beside Qin Yong, and was about to leave. The two of them were in front of the army.

Lead the way.

"There's no need to lead the way. Just stay with the general and answer the general's words." Zhou Qing on the side said coldly. Apparently he saw that Qin Yong might have something to ask the yamen servant. That man

Hearing this, the yamen servant secretly groaned in his heart. If he had known this, he shouldn't have shown his shame like this. Now it's better. He still has to stay with this murderous devil. If he makes the old man angry, I'm afraid his life will be left behind.

Here. But now that Zhou Qing has given the order, he does not dare to leave. He cannot offend any of the generals here. God knows whether they have titles or not.

But Qin Yong glanced at Zhou Qing approvingly, and asked the yamen servant some questions. They were nothing more than the customs and customs of Songzhou City, and some matters operated by the business travellers.

Gradually, he relaxed and actually started chatting with Qin Yong. In an instant, he told what he knew, even some gossips in Songzhou City.

In less than a moment, everyone led the army to Songzhou City. Qin Yong ordered the army to be temporarily stationed in the camp where Tubo Qinling was stationed, while he led a thousand soldiers and horses slowly towards Songzhou. The government officials did not dare to

He was negligent and hurriedly rushed to inform Chang Shi Buti.

"Rengui, look at this is Songzhou City." Qin Yong led Xue Rengui and other generals and ignored the other party's actions, and just took the lead on the Songzhou City Wall. Hearing this, Xue Rengui looked at Qin Yong curiously, he didn't

Understand why Qin Yong came here...

"During the Wude period, Li Yuan once again set up Songzhou, and His Majesty also set up a captain here to lead the army to defend Tubo. Look at this city wall, the outer outline of the city, the urn city (moon city), the female wall (Ya spy), the horse face, and the fort

The scale is complete, with seven gates including Jinyang Gate, Yanxun Gate, Weiyuan Gate, Zhenqiang Gate, Linjiang Gate, Zhuoqing Gate, and Xiaoxi Gate. Each gate has a horse face, inlaid stone gate, and carved stone pillar base.

Lotus flower. The doorway is made of hexahedral stone arches, and the stone at the base of the door is a relief of galloping horses and flowing clouds. It is so powerful! The general inland cities are not so strong. During the Takeru period, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were used, and a third of the stone was used.

One person burns bricks, one-third builds, and one-third mines gold to replenish the cost of repairing the city. Only now can we reach the scale we have in front of us. Rengui, if you have three thousand soldiers and horses in your hand, facing

How long can you hold out against an enemy?" Qin Yong asked with a smile.

In the end, I will be able to hold on for two months.

Xue Rengui said without thinking, "There are mostly young people in the city. As long as we control it well, we can get more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Two months is enough!"

"But what about Zhang Yifeng in Songzhou City? He actually gave all the food to the Tubo people. This kind of person should be killed." Qin Yong looked cold and snorted: "I have heard about your matter, but you have done this.

Well done. Although the civil servants and military generals are separated, we are all members of the imperial court and His Majesty's ministers. If we don't understand something, whether it is the civil servants' responsibility or the military commander's responsibility is to take care of it.

Everyone should have a hand in it, and don’t care about anything else. If you ignore it, don’t you take His Majesty’s teachings to heart? Your Majesty has worked so hard to conquer this country. How can it fall into the hands of outsiders, and no outsiders are allowed to come?

What a waste."

"The general also supports this matter." Zhou Qing's face behind him showed a hint of joy. If Qin Yong also supports Xue Rengui's move, then other generals in the army also followed him.

"Not only me, but also the general also supports it, and many generals have already submitted letters." Qin Yong showed disdain on his face, pointed at Songzhou City behind him, and sneered: "Look, these civil servants

What do they do on a daily basis? Most of them are just villains who add insult to injury. When the war comes, these people unite and think about how to save their own lives. In order to save their own lives, they will do anything. Not only

They sent those brothel girls and even the war supplies for the imperial army. They were really naive people, thinking that Qinling could satisfy them so easily. If our army retreats, the other side will definitely be able to capture Songzhou City.

They looted wantonly, and then set fire to everything here. Haha, now our army has driven Qinling out. Let's see how long it took. In just n seconds, these civil servants started to fight again.

The fight between the prefect and the chief minister has begun again. They actually want to use us as pawns. It’s really funny.”

"General, I just don't know what the court thinks about this matter. The general is just worried that the court will quarrel over this matter!" Zhou Qing on the side suddenly said: "Now His Majesty is far away in southern Xinjiang, and the three armies are using their lives.

, against Tubo, if something like this happens at this time, it may be detrimental to the army's campaign against Tubo!" Obviously Zhou Qing regretted this matter, but he did not expect at the time that after hearing about this incident, these generals

They wrote to the emperor together. Not only Qin Yong in front of them, but also the generals had already written. This made Zhou Qing feel a little uneasy. Maybe it would become a civil and military war. This was not what Xue Rengui and Zhou Qing thought of together.

.

"Zhou Qing, are you worried that there will be discord between the civil and military forces?" Qin Yong sneered: "It's not unreasonable for you to worry, it has even happened. You are also a smart person. Although you have not entered the General Staff, you must have

You have noticed some clues over the years." Zhou Qing nodded, and the generals behind him were silent. Not only Zhou Qing, but also the other generals also felt this way. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was great tension between civil servants and military generals.

They were harmonious and cooperated very happily with each other, but at some point, conflicts appeared between the two and they couldn't stand each other.

"It is natural for generals like us to fight on the battlefield and receive knighthoods. However, in the eyes of these civil servants, these titles should not be awarded to warriors like us. They are also worried that when the power in the hands of military generals increases, it will be detrimental to the country.

stability." Qin Yong sneered: "If there are such good things in the world, how can the world be in chaos? We generals just want to fight on the battlefield, and how many people are willing to do those things that are fighting for power and profit?

.These things can only happen to those civil servants. These people are well-read in poetry and books, and they should be generous-minded, but unexpectedly, they are all small-minded people. Now that your Majesty is in charge of the country, your Majesty is wise and powerful, and for the generals

I understand our intention to expand our territory. What will happen if the prince ascends the throne in the future? I have heard that your majesty is ready to abdicate the throne and the prince after the end of the campaign against Tubo. If this matter had not happened while your majesty was still alive.

It’s time to solve it, but we still don’t know when it will be? When the prince ascends the throne, no one knows how the prince will solve it.”

"The general is very good at seeing His Highness the Crown Prince." Zhou Qing's expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly looked around before saying cautiously.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is naturally good. Naturally, he will not rest assured to be a conservative king. Perhaps he will not pay as much attention to the generals as your Majesty and often fight on the battlefield. But at least he will not limit restrictions like other monarchs of past dynasties.

It depends on the performance of the generals. But what about the prince?" Qin Yong sneered: "These civil servants will say that our military generals are warriors, and the army should be in the hands of us civil servants. These civil servants know etiquette and understand the Spring and Autumn Period.

Xiong is righteous and will not rebel. He is loyal to the Tang Dynasty. However, most of our generals are warlike.

Ambitious people, if such people control the army, it will be detrimental to the court. They will try their best to suppress our strength. If we let them succeed this time, we will still face more serious provocations next time. We can only defeat them

Only by fighting the arrogance of the enemy can we have a place to display our talents. Look, such a strong fortress has been abandoned by the opponent without even the slightest thought of resistance. Only us soldiers can face danger.

, move forward bravely”

Save these people from the sword. Rengui, the Tang Dynasty is a powerful Tang Dynasty. If these civil servants make the decision, the country of the Tang Dynasty created by your Majesty will be ruined by these civil servants in just a few generations. This

That's why you just wrote a memorial in Songzhou, which only recorded some things in Songzhou, but it caused a storm in the court. This is not only related to your own future, but also more important.

What's more, I have to be cautious about the future of these generals."

Xue Rengui on the side showed a hint of bitterness when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect that one of his memorials would have such an effect. If he had known this, maybe he wouldn't have read this memorial. He didn't know that he trusted himself at this time.

How will His Majesty and the teacher who has high hopes for me react, he must be very disappointed!

, "Champion Marquis" Now Qin Ling is leading an army stationed at the entrance of Yinfeng Gorge, blocking our army's way. What should our army do? Please give me your advice." Zhou Qing on the side obviously saw what Xue Rengui was thinking.

Feeling uneasy, he quickly changed the subject and asked. Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Qing finished speaking, not only Qin Yong's mind was turned away, but also that of Xue Rengui and others on the side. Everyone looked into the distance, where

It is in the direction of Yinfeng Gorge. Even though they are standing on the city wall, everyone seems to still feel the cold wind blowing from the west of Yinfeng Gorge, and there is a vague aura of swordsmanship in the cold wind.

, "Have you seen the peak over there?" Qin Yong suddenly pointed to the peak in the distance and said. The peaks are endless, and I don't know how many miles long they are. At this time, "the peaks are covered with snow-white color, obviously there are

Snow is present.

, "Master Hou wants to browse the mountains?" Not only Zhou Qing, but also Xue Rengui asked in surprise. Yinfeng Gorge is a gap exposed between the mountains, and it is also the most direct and safest way to enter Tubo.

There is no way to reach the Zoige Prairie. Of course, if you are not afraid of death, you have to climb over the mountains to reach the Zoige Prairie. In the past, I don’t know how many traders wanted to escape taxes and weapons, so they had to enter and exit through the mountains.

, it’s a pity that they didn’t come out of the mountains in the end. Not only are the roads difficult to navigate, there are countless cliffs, but more importantly, there are countless poisonous insects and beasts. Entering them, it is impossible not to die. Now Qin Yong actually

Thinking of the army walking and entering the Ruoergai Prairie from the mountains, no wonder everyone's expressions changed drastically. It was not that Xue Rengui had not considered this at the beginning, but he did not dare to take the risk because he was not familiar with everything here.

, Songzhou will be besieged by the opponent again. When the time comes, it will not just be a siege, Songzhou City will definitely be captured. By then, Datang will have to spend a lot of effort to regain Songzhou. More importantly,

However, he still didn't know what Zhang Yifeng in the city was thinking. No matter what his thoughts were, he didn't dare to take risks easily. But what he didn't expect was that Qin Yong actually thought of this too.

"Haha! Don't tell me, General Xue didn't think of this?" A smile appeared on Qin Yong's stiff face. He didn't believe that Li Jing's disciples didn't come up with this trick. If he didn't have this vision, Li Jing would

It's impossible to take a fancy to Xue Rengui...

"I dare not deceive the Marquis. The general has thought of this, but at that time, the Tibetan army was still outside the city and did not dare to move out easily." Xue Rengui said quickly.

"Isn't it just right that you and I are here now?" Qin Yong sneered: "You defend the city. I will lead three thousand troops deep into the mountains, from the Ruoergai Prairie into the Yinfeng Gorge. You and I will join hands to break through."
To be continued...
