A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"Don't be careless." Xue Rengui instructed.

Zhang Jiuling followed Di Renjie out of the tent and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

"Follow us to meet up first." Di Renjie looked at Li Yifu who was on the side: "When are you leaving?"

"Let's go tonight." Li Yifu said with a smile: "Rush overnight to meet up."

It was another night of raids. Li Taibai, who was already exhausted, took advantage of this time to close his eyes and hurry to sleep to recover his strength. Zhang Jiuling ate and watched the busyness of the barracks. Born in Taiping, he might not be able to understand the chaos of war here. For the first time After experiencing the battlefield, I know how cruel it is here. The Tubo people are the rear of the Tang army. Seeing that there are Tubo children helping in the barracks, there is not much light in the eyes of these children.

On the contrary, there is some confusion and some numbness. They are not like the children in the Central Plains, and they are not like the children in the academy who can have a lot of yearning for their future. Now they only think about whether they can have enough food in front of them. Dare to make a wish on such a distant dream, but it is very difficult for them to grow up safely.

It was a worthwhile trip to come here. I have seen the cruelty on the battlefield and the sadness here. It is not easy to be safe in the Central Plains. How many people died back then, that's all it was when I thought about it. Now that I have experienced this, I really understand why these soldiers who are on the front line of life and death are defending the frontier desperately. intrusion.

Li Taibai beside him was already snoring loudly, and Zhang Jiuling also closed his eyes to rest, so that he might recover his strength, waiting to wake him up when he was about to run at night.

Di Renjie looked at the two who had already nodded with a wry smile and shook his head, and hurriedly wrote a letter to inform the teacher of the current situation in the West, and handed it to the Dali Temple official standing outside his camp, saying: "Give this letter to Gu Houye, and return it." After Chang'an, I will sort out the recent memorials from Dali Temple and bring them here, I want to have a look at them."

"Yes!"

In the middle of the night, Zhang Jiuling was woken up in a daze. Enduring his drowsiness, he stood up, looked around and pushed the dazed Li Taibai and said, "Hurry up, we're going to march."

Chapter 1052 Strange rapid march.

Li Taibai poured cold water on his face, smacked his lips and said, "It would be nice if I had a drink at this time."

Zhang Jiuling handed him the water bag at his waist and said, "Drunkard, drink less."

Uncovering the bag of the water sac, Li Taibai smelled it carefully, "Where did you get the wine?"

"I keep it all the time. I think you, a drunkard, can't do without alcohol." Zhang Jiuling said.

"Hahaha." Li Taibai took a sip of his wine with a smile and said, "It is said that Gu Houye's poems are unparalleled in the world, and I will compose a poem when I return to Chang'an."

Li Taibai drank several gulps, the water in the water bag was about to run out, the neighing of war horses sounded in the barracks, Li Yifu pulled up a force of [-] soldiers and horses, and began to prepare for the night march.

Xue Rengui is also prepared for everything. Another army will attack the Romans at night to attract the attention of the Romans.

"How's it going? Have you had enough sleep?" Di Renjie patted Zhang Jiuling on the back and said.

"Relax." Zhang Jiuling nodded and said, "This is about to march."

Di Renjie asked the soldiers to pull the two horses and said: "Follow the army when the time comes, and you must not fall behind. We will leave the army and go around Rome to Tianzhu. If you are alone, you may be ambushed by the Romans."

"Is it dangerous?" Li Bai whispered.

"If you fall off your horse, remember that you have to keep up with the team even if you run. General Xue can't buy us much time. If you fall behind, no one will come to rescue you. You can't hurt 3 people because of you alone. army."

"I see." Li Taibai nodded repeatedly.

Di Renjie also turned over and got on a horse and said, "Get on the horse! Let's go!"

The 3 people mounted their horses together and headed towards the other side of the battlefield in the dark.

Zhang Jiuling rode a horse and followed the team. Three miles away from the barracks, by the moonlight, he could see a small group of Romans standing there not far away. These people dared not do anything when they saw the army of more than 3. Just like what Di Renjie said, if the [-] troops stop and delay the military plane for one person, they may be dispersed because of the Romans. This is the last thing I want to see.

As long as the army gathers together and keeps advancing, the Romans can only watch and dare not take action easily.

Just like Di Renjie said, you can't stop the whole army because of one person, even if you run, you have to keep up with the team. If you fall behind, you can only ask for luck, or be killed by the Romans. There was a sense of cruelty and inhumanity in everything.

"drive!"

Zhang Jiuling spurred the horse to make it run faster. Under the hasty march, everyone was traveling lightly. Even though the intersection was guarded by Romans, the army still turned a blind eye and rushed over, and the Romans naturally gave way.

The moment you pass by the Romans, you can see that the Romans are holding a knife tightly in their hands, and they dare not cut out the knives in their hands. The scattered Romans with branches in this area will be punished by the [-] troops if they dare to block the road. Siege.

The scene was very strange at one time, all the pass points along the way were guarded by the Romans, but the army was indeed unimpeded, as if both parties had agreed, but thinking about it, they could only know that there was an army of 3 people While moving, he didn't dare to act rashly, and could only report back to his rear afterwards.

Marching all the way until dawn, here is a cliff edge, where a small group of men and horses are repairing.

When the army stopped, Li Yifu, Di Renjie and a general were discussing something.

After returning, Di Renjie said to Zhang Jiuling and Li Taibai: "Nanzhao's army will come to help soon. We will start to recover Tianzhu as soon as Nanzhao's army arrives."

"Take back Tianzhu? Doesn't it mean to cut off the plunder of the Romans in Tianzhu?" Li Taibai asked curiously.

"Because many people in Tianzhu have died in the hands of the Romans these days. The Roman garrison here needs a lot of food and grass, and they almost emptied the entire Tianzhu. The people of Tianzhu want to resist when they have no way to survive. Now the whole Tianzhu is hating Romans, when everyone hates a target, all forces will gather into one rope, this is a good time to rise up and resist, and it is also a good time for us to recover Tianzhu."

Wu Laoqi on the side explained.

"Who's this?" Zhang Jiuling looked at the guy with a ruffian face, and he didn't seem to be a member of the army.

"He is our new governor who joined the army. He was appointed in a hurry. The Ministry of War did not make a record." Xue Ji walked over and explained, "Di Renjie, it may not be easy for your Dali Temple to take down the mansion this time."

"Did something happen?" Di Renjie asked.

"Maybe it's only a matter of time before Rome is defeated now, but something happened in the Roman army. The king of Rome was critically ill. Now the entire Roman army is in the hands of the youngest son of the Roman king, and this youngest son is very important. Trust in Fuzheng, that is to say, it is obviously impossible for Rome to give up Fuzheng. Too many things have happened these days, and too many things have happened in the Roman army. Now the entire Roman army is in Fuzheng and one Roman. woman's hands."

After listening to it, Di Renjie thought about it: "Are you worried that Rome will retreat because of their king's serious illness?"

"It's very possible." Wu Laoqi nodded and said, "Once they retreat, we have to pursue them if we want to arrest people. This pursuit is different from defending Tubo. The purpose of exhausting the entire army, or your Dali Temple giving up the goal and simply winning a battle, this is what we have to decide now, and this question will also be returned to General Xue."

"Once the army decides to give up the pursuit, it's best for you Dali Temple to give up this goal too."

After Wu Laoqi finished speaking, Di Renjie hesitated in his heart, looked at the dilapidated Tianzhu village in the distance and said: "I don't think Fuzheng will give up, and will choose to retreat."

"I also said that besides the Fuzheng, there is also a Roman woman who is in charge of the Roman army. It is not the Fuzheng who has the final say. There was a Roman attack that was defeated before. The Romans are not fools, and they will be used by the Fuzheng like this. .”

Wang Xuance also said: "What you both said makes sense. At this point, the door to the Tang Dynasty is opened. Taking down Tubo will be a flat road. He will not give up this opportunity. Just like what Wu Laoqi said, once Rome's plan to retreat is a drop in the bucket for us to pursue."

"Let me figure out a way." Di Renjie calmly fell into deep thought.

Zhang Jiuling looked at the surrounding environment. The night here is very cold. At a glance, there are only sporadic forests, and there are vultures standing on the branches, waiting for them to peck some fresh corpses after the war. It is a desolate and dilapidated scene It's hard to believe that this is also Tianzhu, which was once in its prime.

Chapter 1053

There is a lot of wind in this canyon. Wang Xuance, who has been going deep alone for a long time, has a lot of peace of mind now that he has an army of 3 people. At least he can walk sideways in Tianzhu. The old man of Tianzhu wrote an article to crusade against Rome.

Wu Laoqi took the call to action and looked at it for a long time and said, "What is written crookedly on it?"

"Can you understand Tianzhu script?" Xue Ji took the letter and asked the people from the Maritime Trade Department to copy it down.

Leaning on crutches, the old man from Tianzhu said: "There are not many people in Tianzhu who can write, and there are very few people who know how to read. Is it useful to write this kind of proclamation?"

"Of course it is useful, it is of great use." Wang Xuance also said: "The best thing is to have evidence. Even though some people can't understand this proclamation, as long as this proclamation comes out, he will leave a mark in the hearts of Tianzhu people."

Wang Xuance is using Tianzhu's geographical advantage to prepare for a counterattack against Rome.

Xue Rengui is also rectifying his troops here, preparing to launch a counterattack against Rome.
