The cold wind blew the flags, causing Siduo's brow to furrow.

Half of his arm was bandaged with a medicinal cloth, and there was a strange smell of herbs coming out.

He was not wearing any armor on his body, and his shoulders were half covered due to injuries.

The hair on his head was also scattered, slightly wavy and curly, hanging down on his dark face, looking a little wild and uninhibited.

But his expression was extremely respectful.

Because he is now facing the second brother on Qinling.

Si Duo and Yu Bo Theory, etc., can be called the general, but on Qinling is the general general.

In the whole of Tibet, there are only a few people who can be above the Qin Tomb.

The oil lamps in the tent shook slightly with the wind, causing the light in the tent to flicker.

On Qinling sat cross-legged behind the campfire, holding a piece of jerky in his left hand and a small curved silver knife in his right hand, cutting unhurriedly on the jerky.

His movements are meticulous and patient, and his hands are steady without a trace of trembling.

That serious look, with devotion and concentration, as if there was not meat and a knife in front of him, but an art, and he was dedicating all his love to a work of art.

After Siduo asked questions, Non Qinling did not rush to answer, but carefully separated the flesh and bones in his hands.

Finally, the meat is sprinkled into the hot broth cooked on the campfire.

He wiped the knife twice on the placket of his shirt and inserted it back into his waist, and then he looked up at Siduo and Yu Boyan: "What do you think?" ”

The bonfires in the tent were gathered with important Tibetan generals.

Led by the Lun Qinling.

Sidor and Yu Bo sat on the left and right hands, respectively.

The rest of the generals sat around the bonfire, like the stars and the moon.

After glancing at Yu Bo Lun, Si Duo Yu Xiang Tan Qin Ling hesitated and said, "I can't say it...... The Tang people didn't know who was in charge this time, and they fought very resolutely, and we suffered a loss. ”

"Yu Bo, what about you, do you also think that we have suffered a big loss?"

"Second brother, we lost our troops, but we didn't gain ......"

"You, and you, are wrong."

On Qinling raised his right hand.

The bones on it are distinct, thin as bamboo, and dark as ink.

This is the most powerful hand in the whole of Tibet, except for Zanpu and Lu Dongzan and Zanxiruo.

It controls the hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops and the lives and deaths of countless people.

But at this time, this hand gently picked up a bamboo spoon and scooped it freely in the fragrant broth.

"What are the Tang people most afraid of losing, and what are we most afraid of losing?"

When these words came out, no one answered for a while.

On Qinling seemed to ask and answer himself, and said as if no one was around: "How many Tang people are there in the Western Regions?" How many of us are there? Are we afraid of the dead? In this snowy plateau, the cheapest thing is human life, what are some untouchables afraid of? ”

"But those are elite ......"

"Wrong again."

On Qinling glanced up at Si Duo and smiled slightly: "Only the living are called elites, and the dead are just numbers, and they don't mean anything." ”

"And what about them...... We ...... this time"

"In this battle, the best situation is to tear apart the Hexi defense line of the Tang Dynasty and shake the foundation of the Tang people's management of the Western Regions.

As long as the main force of Tibet is still there, as long as we still have a breath, this battle ...... That's not the end of it. ”

On Qinling finally scooped up a spoonful of soup.

He took it to his lips and blew on it, taking a gentle sip.

"A good broth will inevitably burn your mouth, and only patience can you drink the first mouthful of soup."

As he spoke, on his dark face, he smiled and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and handed the soup in his hand to Sidor Yu: "You taste it." ”

"Second Brother Xie."

Sidor took it with both hands, and took a sip of it as if he were talking about Qinling.

The broth was in his mouth, fragrant, and he frowned and chewed it carefully.

On Qinling turned his head to Yu Bo: "What can the Tang people rely on to maintain their control over Hexi and the Western Regions?" Is it human? We've tried this battle.

The Tang people are indeed very good at fighting, but the Tang people also expose the weakness of insufficient troops.

Although they can achieve local advantages, they can't eat all of our main forces. ”

The words of Qinling lifted everyone's spirits and knew that they had gotten to the point.

"There are few people in the Tang Dynasty, and here, if they want to maintain the situation, they mainly rely not on people, but on prestige."

"Prestige?"

"It's their decades-long and invincible prestige."

On Qinling's voice is full of a sense of rhythm and rhythm.

With a huge gold ring in his right ear, it trembled slightly.

"Looking back, Qiuzi, Yueshi, Turks, Tuyuhun, Gaochang, which country in the Western Regions has not been beaten by the Tang Dynasty? This is the basis for their ability to maintain control in this area with a very small population.

For the grasslands and the Western Regions, the Tang Dynasty is invincible, and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is the Heavenly Khan.

This prestige makes no one dare to oppose the Tang Dynasty in this vast land. ”

"Second brother, then why do we still have to compete with the Tang people?"

Yu Bo Yan cautiously asked the question in his heart.

His hands were clasped together in front of his chest.

This is a knee-jerk move.

Tibetan Buddhism flourished, and this was a cultural strategy to assimilate the various tribes of Tianzhu and the Mixed One Plateau.

In the upper echelons of Tibet, there are also many people who believe in Buddhism.

Among Lu Dongzan's sons, Yu Bo is the most devout in believing in Buddhism.

"Yu Bo, you can believe in the Hoover of the Tianzhu people, but don't forget that the Boni born by Siddhartha is already a subject country of our Tubo people, don't forget your roots."

On Qinling's words, it was said that Yu Bo was sweating on his forehead, and he hurriedly put down Heshi's hands and bowed to apologize.

"It's good that the Tang people are strong, but the sun will not always be in the sky, this sun will eventually fall, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that belongs to our Tubo people is just around the corner, we don't fight, there will be others to fight, there is no need to talk about this."

Siduoyu answered on the side: "If we want to feed more people, if we want to live a prosperous life like the Tang Dynasty, we have to fight, who doesn't want to live a better life, who doesn't want to be as free as the Tang people?" ”

Yu Bo was silent.

On Qinling took the soup spoon that Siduo handed back, put it into the soup pot, and made a "grunt" sound.

Everyone was taken aback.

But seeing that Qin Ling's eyes were like lightning, he swept over everyone, and said in a sonorous voice: "The strength of the Tang people is in their prestige, but their weakness is also here; We in Tibet can challenge countless times, and as long as we can continue to fight, we will not lose.

But the Tang people, if they lose to us once here, the myth that the Tang people are undefeated will be broken.

At that time, the confidence of the countries in the Western Regions in the Tang people will be shaken, and we, the Tibetans, can push these small states and chieftains to become independent and free from the control of the Tang people.

The Tang people were in a state of anxiety at that time, and with their little strength, they could not cope with such a situation, and they would inevitably collapse. ”

After a pause, he said on Qinling: "If they collapse, we will rise and replace the Tang Dynasty as the most dazzling sun." ”

After saying that, the generals in the tent flashed with excitement in their eyes.

The beautiful blueprint described by the Qin Ling in my heart made my blood boil.

"Second brother, but...... In this operation, in addition to losing manpower, we can only barely say that we still retain the military structure, and the Tang Army also sent a group of people to jump over Dafeichuan, it is possible to sneak attack Fuqi City, what do we get? Yu Bo licked his lips and plucked up the courage to ask again.

The battle with the Tang people that night made him soberly aware of the difference between the Tubo people and the Tang army.

When the Tubo people conquered the snowy region, they were so powerful when they conquered Tianzhu.

But in the battle against the Tang, it was like a panicked sheep.

In front of the Tang people, they fell one after another.

That hellish miserable situation cast a heavy shadow on Yu Bolun's heart.

"We got a lot."

On Qinling's hands on his lap, looking around the left and right, a gold ring shook on his earlobe as he turned his head.

"First, from Hexi to Jiuquan to Wuwei, the Tang army cooperated closely at various nodes, and from the reaction of the Tang army, we can infer that in this operation, there must be an experienced and clever general who is in control of the overall situation.

Anxi Du Pei Xingjian can't do this, he can only take charge of Anxi at most.

It can be seen that Su Dingfang must be hidden behind the scenes to control the overall situation. ”

On the opening and closing of Qinling's eyes, with one sentence, the situation in front of him was broken.

The Tubo generals who were full of them, including Siduoyu, all gasped.

"Su Dingfang!"

"That butcher who can't destroy the country!"

"If this old guy is still there, we're just afraid that we won't be opponents......"

"Don't worry."

On Qinling received the bowl of broth with a respectful face, and the bowl of broth that he held in both hands took to his mouth and blew it, and said with a smile: "Su Ding's ability to set up this bureau shows that he is indeed not too sick to be a director, but at the same time, it also shows that he is too sick to lead the troops alone." ”

"General, what do you mean by that?"

A general couldn't help but ask.

On Qinling blew the hot air, drank a sip of hot soup, held the bowl in both hands, and shook it lightly for a moment: "With Su Dingfang's old spicy, do you think that if he can get up and command the soldiers, he can let go of the last opportunity?" If he can lead the troops himself, I am afraid that we will lose more than 100,000 this time......"

These words shocked Yu Bo and Siduo Yu and other generals.

But I have to admit that what Qin Ling said is very reasonable.

"This is a national war, don't think that you can kill the enemy at once, but slowly cut the flesh with a blunt knife and bleed...... Therefore, it is very important to find out the hole cards of the Tang people. ”

On Qinling put down the broth in his hand and patted his knee: "Knowing that Su Dingfang can't lead the troops, this battle is worth it, which will create more favorable conditions for our subsequent troop layout, defeat the Tang people." ”

Woo~

The tent was suddenly opened, and a fierce wind rushed in with a fine rain.

In an instant, the lights in the tent flashed wildly, and the wind was blowing, like hell.

In the fierce wind, I saw a half-human-tall black crow flapping its wings, and swooped towards the Tomb of the Emperor with ferocity.

But the strange thing is that although panic flashed on the faces of the people in the tent, they did not react too violently.

On Qinling's right finger moved, his eyes narrowed slightly in the wind.

"Nightcrow, what did you find?"

The crow circled around the top of the tent for half a circle, and finally found a wooden frame and flew down to it.

A pair of black iron-like paws clasped the wooden frame, tilted his head and looked at the generals in the tent with a green bird pupil, and said: "Dafei Chuanshang, there are Tang people, I saw the Tang army." ”
