A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Struggling, Xue Rengui bowed and stabbed a lion in the abdomen.

Seeing Xue Rengui being besieged by lions, Lu Dongzan came running with a scimitar in his hand.

Xue Rengui's superb sword skills are vividly displayed on Xue Rengui's body. Xue Rengui's face full of murderous intent flashed at the moment when the thunder light passed by. There were several dying lions under Xue Rengui's feet. The rest of the lions felt threatened by Xue Rengui and dared not go up. forward.

The heavy rain fell, and the battle came to an end. Xue Rengui looked at the Dashi soldiers and horses who were lingering in the distance of the rain.

The rain washed away the blood on the blade and the scarlet red on Xue Rengui's body. Xue Rengui's sharp-edged face carried a killing intent that he had never seen before.

A soldier saw the shocking wound on Xue Rengui's back, and hurried forward, "General, withdraw your troops."

Lu Dongzan looked at Xue Rengui's appearance, and admired the soldiers of Datang in his heart. At least he had seen that the soldiers of Datang had a kind of bloodiness in them, which was not found in Tubo. It was like a kind of cohesion. When they have a common enemy, they will involuntarily gather together.

This is the belief in the hearts of soldiers in the Central Plains. Lu Dongzan secretly thought that the battlefield is dangerous, and there are always companions behind the soldiers to support them, and there are always people rushing to the front to protect the weak.

In this battle, Datang once again defended the front line.

From the back of Tubo, a group of soldiers and horses braved the heavy rain. From here, there were corpses all over the field, and the stench spread over the surface. Di Renjie rode on the horse and looked at the situation on the battlefield, and couldn't help worrying about Xue Rengui in his heart.

There was nothing but a mess in the camp.

"My minister of Dali Temple, Di Renjie, is there anyone alive?" Di Renjie shouted loudly.

A soldier who was arranging firearms came to Di Renjie and knelt down on one knee, "I have seen Dali Siqing."

"Where is Xue Rengui!" Di Renjie said anxiously.

"General..." The soldier hesitated.

"Xue Rengui!" Di Renjie shouted anxiously in the camp.

On the battlefield, people gradually retreated with each other supporting each other. Looking at everyone who retreated one by one, Di Renjie had to take a look at each other's face to see if it was Xue Rengui.

After standing in the heavy rain and searching for a long time, Di Renjie saw a person in the rain curtain standing not far away looking at him. After a closer look, it was Xue Rengui being supported by Lu Dongzan.

"Brother Xue, are you okay?" Di Renjie hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"No big deal." Xue Rengui smiled awkwardly, "Why are you here, brother?"

Di Renjie pulled Xue Rengui's arm and supported him, "It's a long story."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the shocking wounds on Xue Rengui's back. Di Renjie couldn't say anything while carrying him, and the soldiers were exhausted when they returned to the camp.

Di Renjie arranged for someone to treat the wound on Xue Rengui's back. After pouring a bottle of strong wine, Xue Rengui's painful forehead burst out with blue veins.

"General Xue, hold on, the wound has already been opened, if it is not stitched up, something serious will happen." The student from the academy whispered and began to sew up the wound with needles and thread.

"They are all students of the academy, and these are all students of medicine. This time, the Hexi Corridor has added 30 troops, and many students from the academy are among them. They learned medicine from Sun Simiao in the academy."

Xue Rengui endured the severe pain and trembled all over, but he couldn't hear what Di Renjie was saying.

It took a while for the wound to be healed. The students from the academy cleaned the needles and hands and said in a low voice: "Fortunately, the wound is not very deep. During this period, General Xue must not let the wound touch the water. The rest of the two or three days will be very poor." , because General Xue’s wound bleeds a lot, and he needs to rest for at least three days.”

"I see." Xue Rengui nodded.

"Go and see the other wounded soldiers," Di Renjie said.

After several students from the academy left, Di Renjie looked at Xue Rengui, who was in a cold sweat from the pain, and said, "How is the battle going?"

"We lost a lot of manpower this time, and the gunpowder is almost used up, but Dashi is not much better, and there shouldn't be much spare power to attack Dashi twice." Speaking here, Xue Rengui swallowed hard, " Be careful of Rome in the rear, the cannibals are desperately ahead, but Rome behind them is still intact, they have kept their strength, and the next attack will be either the cannibals or Rome."

"Also." Xue Rengui continued: "Wang Xuance led his troops to the rear of Tianzhu. I don't know when the sea ships will reach Tianzhu. We can't give up this line of defense. If we give up, our plan will come to naught."

"Don't worry, I will arrive first this time. The army behind will definitely arrive within two days. It is not easy to hold on. You should sleep well and I will watch." Di Renjie said to Xue Rengui, "I'll go see Song Tsangan cloth."

Chapter 1029

The heavy rain still didn't stop, Di Renjie walked out of the tent, stepped on the mud and came to Songtsan Gampo's tent, Songtsan Gampo in front of him was a bit embarrassed and covered in mud, he also smiled bitterly when he saw himself.

Di Renjie said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Songtsan Gampo looked at Di Renjie as he took a sip of hot tea, "I haven't seen you for a few years, Di Renjie, you have grown up too."

Sitting in front of Songtsan Gampo, Di Renjie also said, "I was thinking that if you were dead, the chaos in Tubo would be more manageable."

"Where's Gu Qing? Is he not here?"

"You know it too, why bother to ask so many times." Di Renjie said in a low voice, "The relationship between the royal family and the teacher is very complicated, and now the crown prince is also the teacher's disciple."

Songtsan Gampo nodded slightly, "How I wish Gu Qing could come here."

"Unless it is absolutely necessary, the royal family and court will not touch the teacher." Di Renjie shook his head and sighed.

"Li Shimin can't tame Gu Qing, he can only control Gu Qing. I can see that Li Shimin is getting older. As he gets older, he will become more afraid. Gu Qing is too young for him." Songtsan Gampo said.

"Let's not talk about that, is Fuzheng really in Rome?" Di Renjie asked.

Songtsan Gampo got up and rummaged through a box, and took a long time to take out a portrait from the box, "See if it's him."

After receiving the portrait, Di Renjie glanced at it, and then at Songtsan Gampo. The person in the portrait was very thin, but he looked a bit like Fuzheng. When he confirmed Fuzheng in Dali Temple, he only relied on the portrait, Tang Jian's family's description, as for what Fuzheng really looks like, thinking of this, Di Renjie felt helpless again.

"It's ridiculous to say that, as the Minister of Dali Temple, I have never met the Fuzheng." Di Renjie said, "But this time I came to Tibet to arrest him. Tang Jian's family died in the dungeon of Dali Temple. If I don't arrest him, I, the Dali Temple Minister, will have a hard conscience."

"If I were you, it would be difficult for me to have the determination to travel thousands of miles to catch a key criminal in Dali Temple."

"It is said that Fu is a very smart person. Rome, which was originally weak, is growing stronger day by day under his hands. Now it has not suffered a single defeat since the Eastern Expedition. It may not be easy for you to catch this kind of person." Songtsan Gampo said in a low voice. : "You were born in the peaceful Central Plains, and you don't know the chaos in the borderlands. The wars in the West have not subsided over the years. As long as there is war, there will be hatred. This kind of thing goes on and on, and it won't be settled in three or two years."

"Ghost knows how long this battle will last. Maybe it can stop if everyone is killed."

Songtsan Gampo said these words with a little powerlessness. Di Renjie looked at this guy. After Songtsan Gampo was arrested in Chang'an, he was imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple for several years. At that time, he didn't know how to get back I just wanted to find someone to talk to, and unknowingly, I became friends with Songtsan Gampo.

"We have defended this battle. I don't know if we can defend it next time." Songtsan Gampo said in a low voice.

Di Renjie looked at the heavy rain outside, "The army from the rear has rushed over day and night. I went to the Hexi Corridor first, and I brought thousands of soldiers and horses and people from Dali Temple lightly. Don't worry, the big food will not come in this time. Next time They still can't get in."

Hearing Di Renjie's words seemed to be some consolation, Songtsan Gampo smiled wryly as if resigned to his fate and didn't say much.

Tianzhu, Wang Xuance received the news that the fleet at sea had finally arrived, and he received another news in his heart, which made his heart cool down a lot. Rome has gathered [-] soldiers and horses and is heading here. There are still a few miles, and they will be killed within half an hour.

Wu Laoqi led people to fortify the palace, turning the entire palace into a defensible fortress.

"Notify Xue Ji and Li Yifu immediately, and tell them that things have changed. The Roman army has come back, and let them hold back and play according to circumstances." After Wang Xuance finished speaking, he asked Wu Laoqi to put the artillery on the palace wall, and move all the arrows and stones. Go up the palace wall and block the gate of the palace with huge stones.

"You said that the Romans would not be distracted and come back to kill us." Wu Laoqi said to Wang Xuance, who was wearing armor, in the rain.

"I don't know what happened." Wang Xuance took off his helmet and put it on Wu Laoqi and said, "If you are afraid of death, wear a helmet. You and your people have time to run now."

"Who do you think I am?" Wu Laoqi said to Wang Xuance.
