A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Burn it!" Gu Qing ordered.

"Yes!" The scout left again.

Gu Qing said to Yang Sheng, "Take some people and go out for a walk."

"Okay!" Yang Sheng replied loudly, Gu Qing was going to let himself take someone to practice.

Riding a horse, Yang Sheng rubbed his hands to warm himself up. His hands were so cold that he couldn't hold a knife. The army continued to advance. The heavy snowstorm made people blindfolded, and only the sound of howling wind could be heard.

"Report!" Another scout came to answer, "There is a Turkic camp ahead, with thousands of people!"

"Finally, there is a place to hide from the wind and snow!" Cheng Chumo said, "Brothers, you guys!"

The cold wind howled, and the army rushed into the camp. The Tang soldiers swung their knives and slaughtered these Turkic people. Gu Qing saw that most of these people here were people who attacked Yanmen Pass before.

Cheng Chumo came with a tribal leader, "Catch a leader."

Gu Qing looked at the other party, "Are you the leader here?"

"Yes!" The other party replied in jerky Guanzhong dialect.

"We have already entered the grassland for nearly a thousand miles. Where are all your people? Why is there only one of your tribes around here!"

The other party shivered in the cold wind and did not dare to move!

"Say!" Cheng Chumo yelled, blowing out two streams of hot air from his big nose.

"I said..." the Turkic leader replied in a panic, "people from other tribes are fleeing to the Tianshan Mountains."

Su Dingfang was thoughtful, "It seems that these Turkic people want to gather a large army again. We are culling them like this. If these Turkic people continue to be scattered like this and wait for them, they will have to die. But today's Turkic people are also at the end of their strength. It's nothing too big. climate."

The army directly occupied this camp, avoiding the wind and snow.

Sitting in the tent, Gu Qing asked the tribal leader in front of him, "Who on earth united your tribes?"

"He is from the Central Plains." The leader said, "His name is Qian, just one word, Qian!"

"Do you know what he looks like?" Gu Qing asked again.

"I don't know!" said the leader, "He wears a mask, and he's very smart!"

Not asking much useful information, Gu Qing then asked, "How do you deal with smallpox?"

Smallpox... This is the leader trembling and said: "When we escaped from Yanmen Pass that day, many people died in every tribe. They slaughtered all the tribes that got sick! As long as one person in the tribe got sick ! The whole tribe is going to die."

When it was done and there was not much useful news, Su Dingfang walked into the tent and shook off the snow on his body and said, "I have sent people to deliver the news to General Niu and General Cheng. As soon as the wind and snow stop, we will head to Tianshan Mountain."

"I'm freezing to death!" Cheng Chumo walked in and said, "It's almost spring, why is it still so cold?"

"Drink a sip of strong wine to warm you up." Gu Qing handed Cheng Chumo a jar of wine, "Take this leader to Yanmen Pass."

After taking a sip of wine, Cheng Chumo said, "What about the rest of the Turkic offal? Just chop them up?"

"Don't be so troublesome!" Gu Qing waved his hand.

"Don't be so troublesome?" Cheng Chu said in meditation, "I know, just dig a hole and bury it, it will save a lot of trouble, and save chopping up one by one."

"Let them pull the luggage and save our energy." Gu Qing said, won't Cheng Chumo's mind turn around?

It took three days and three nights for the wind and snow to stop, and the army marched again. There was not even a living thing on the endless grassland, and a few falcons soared in the sky. The Tianshan Mountains were in front of them, and the remaining Turkic army could be seen from a distance.

"The whole army is stationed!" Su Dingfang shouted.

Chapter 145 Homecoming ([-])

"All the tricks are highlighted!" Cheng Chumo also shouted, "Be careful of the Turkic attack."

The army stopped and marched, and stood opposite the Turkic army in the distance. Gu Qing looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, "That's the Tianshan Mountains."

"The military report just came in. General Cheng will arrive tomorrow." Su Dingfang sighed in the cold air.

Cheng Chumo carried a leg of lamb frozen into a popsicle, "I said, can you stop hurting the spring and autumn, come! Let's eat lamb."

The leg of lamb was roasted on the fire rack. Gu Qing really couldn't stand the cold. These days, he relied on spirits to keep his body warm. Every day, he drank spirits, and every meal was mutton, which made his stomach full. twitching,

"Gu Qing, what exactly are you talking about?" Cheng Chumo asked.

"There are many kinds of cannons." Gu Qing said leisurely, "There are mortars, cannons, and...mountain cannons, mother cannons!"

"There are so many kinds..." Cheng Chu silently counted on his fingers, not sure if this guy remembered it or not.

The sun that had not been seen for a long time shone on the grassland, but it did not feel warm at all. A Turkic man rode up in front of him and shouted loudly, "I am a Turkic envoy."

"Call here." Gu Qing looked at the person coming and said.

The Turkic envoy was escorted in front of the three of them, Cheng Chumo stared at each other, "What are you doing here?"

"Our new Turkic king wants to make peace with you," said the Turkic man.

"The new Turkic king?" Gu Qing was puzzled, "You still have the Turkic king."

"Yes!" Although there are three young generals in front of him, the Turkic envoy is still very nervous, "Our Turkic king has just sat on the throne, and now many tribal leaders are willing to listen to this new Turkic king, and our Turkic king is willing to fight with you! And, I am willing to serve the Tang Dynasty forever."

"I hate people's sexual taste the most!" Gu Qing took a bite of mutton.

"What are you still doing!" Cheng Chumo shouted, "Give me a hard beat up on this vile-talking Turkic man."

"Don't... oops!" The Turkic envoy said while being beaten again, "What I said is true, we are really willing to surrender to Datang!"

"Don't beat them to death." Gu Qing's soldier stopped his movements, "If the grasslands are full of scattered tribes, I'd be more at ease, but now you have a new Turkic king, and you will even integrate the Turkic tribes."

Su Dingfang said, "That's even more threatening!"

"Okay! You Turks have bad intentions!" Cheng Chumo shouted, "Keep beating me up!"

……

The Turkic man in front of him was beaten up again. He was beaten twice as an envoy. Is there such a miserable envoy?It's not that it was agreed that the two countries would not be killed when they fought, and they were beaten twice even if they didn't have good food and drink. Life is so hard that I don't want to live.

"We have no bad intentions!" the Turk wailed, "We are very sincere. Our Turkic vassal Tang is willing to donate [-] war horses every year."

"Is our Tang Dynasty short of horses?" Gu Qing raised his head and asked Su Dingfang.

"If you're short of horses, come and catch a few on the grassland." Su Dingfang disagreed.

Gu Qing was also against him, and said to the Turkic envoy, "Since you Turkic people intend to submit to our Tang Dynasty, will yours be ours in the future?"

"Yes yes yes..." the Turkic nodded.
