The Mingguang armor in front of the wall is a vertical armor composed of armor and armor, supported by a wooden frame behind it, just like some Warring States daimyo armor displayed in later generations.

Compared with the lacquered wooden armor of the Wa Kingdom, the Tang Mingguang armor in front of him is more powerful and stronger.

The heart shield on his chest was no longer in perfect condition, and there were countless traces of knives and guns on it.

Arm pads, crotch pads, and knee pads are all damaged.

These are the traces left by the war.

Although it was damaged, this Bright Light Armor was still in excellent condition.

Smooth and shiny, without a trace of rust.

In the center of the helmet, what was supposed to be a samurai's face, is now covered with a mask.

The red paint is like fire, and the fangs are exposed.

It is like the appearance of the Dharma Protector Vajra.

It was precisely because of this mask that Su Qingjie and Su Dawei were shocked at the first glance of entering the door.

I almost thought I was seeing a real person.

"Aye!"

Su Qingjie shouted.

Tears almost welled up in his eyes.

The armor is here, but what about the people?

"What's it called, I'm not dead yet."

From within, a faint voice sounded.

Su Qingjie and Su Dawei were first shocked and then delighted, and strode in.

The two entered the inner room, only to find that there was a cave.

Inside, tables, maps, pen and ink, scrolls, and war reports are all gathered together.

Su Dingfang sat in front of the table in regular clothes, with documents and main books on the left and right, as well as personal soldiers.

Here, it doesn't look like a home bedroom, but like Su Dingfang's camp in front of the battle array.

This picture made Su Dawei and Su Qingjie dumbfounded for a while.

They thought a lot, they thought about Su Dingfang being seriously ill and bedridden, but they didn't think that everything they saw with their own eyes had such a big contrast.

Su Dingfang can still sit and watch things.

I can also work.

It seems that the spirit is actually not bad.

Su Dingfang, who was behind the table, put down the brush in his hand and glanced at the two of them: "I'm still stunned, come here." ”

"Aya, you're ......"

"It's a long story."

Su Dingfang didn't answer, but looked at Su Dawei with his beard: "Ami is here, which means that the vanguard reinforcements have arrived in Liangzhou?" ”

"Yes, I just arrived a few days ago, and after all the arrangements were made, I came to see you with the lion."

Su Dawei looked Su Qingfang up and down.

Su Dingfang, who is over seventy years old, has all his hair snow-white, the color of wind and frost on his face is getting thicker and thicker, and wrinkles are crawling all over his forehead, looking more and more old and haggard.

What remains unchanged is that his eyes still exude a fiery essence that is not inferior to that of a young man.

"Boss, we heard before we came that you were seriously ill......"

"Well, I'm sure I've been sick for a while, but now I'm almost better."

Su Dingfang moved his arm, showing that he was fine.

"Then why do they say you're too sick to be sick?"

"Sit down."

Su Dingfang stretched out his hand and motioned for Su Qingjie and Su Dawei to sit in front of him.

Some pro-soldiers have already moved the stool.

The clerk on the side even made a small tandoor out of nowhere, put a clay pot, put a teacup, and boiled tea silently on the side.

Su Dawei looked around and found that everyone in the house was busy, and there was no idler.

It seems that there are constantly dossiers and war reports, which are passed in from hidden channels.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe it.

When I'm outside, I almost think it's a dead house.

I thought Su Dingfang was really seriously ill.

Thinking about the solemn look on the face of Zhou Yaxiang, the previous Suzhou assassin, Su Dawei was a little speechless.

After the two of them sat down, Su Dingfang spoke: "I'm seriously ill, it's true." ”

"Huh?" Su Qingjie couldn't help but reach over and hold Su Dingfang's palm: "Aya......"

"It's okay now."

Su Dingfang patted the back of his palm, and continued: "Six years ago, I broke the Tubo deputy minister Dayan Mangbuzhi in Wuhai, and at that time I was hit by the miasma of Tubo, and then my health was not as good as before.

In these years, he first fought Duman, then Baekje and Goguryeo, and was appointed by His Majesty as the ambassador of Anji to sit in Hexi......

I'm already visibly feeling exhausted.

Although he recovered from his illness this time, he was even worse than before, and one day, he might really be unable to sleep. ”

"Aye!"

Su Qingjie clenched Su Dingfang's hand, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Lion, put away your tears."

Su Ding pointed to his son, and his face smeared with the rare kindness on weekdays: "You are my Su family's son, my Su Dingfang's son, how can you be weak." ”

"Aye, don't fight, let's stop fighting, I'll go and ask Your Majesty to resign, let you go home, go back to Chang'an, and take care of your days." Su Qingjie held Su Dingfang's hand with both hands and pleaded sadly.

This hand used to be so strong, so rough, so warm.

In my memory, I was touched by this hand on my head countless times, listening to Aya's stern and loving words.

But now, that hand has changed.

It's no longer strong, it's thin, skinny, skinny, skinny, and has some age spots on the back of its palms.

Touching this hand, it is no longer warm, it is cold, it is exhausted.

It's like Su Dingfang's life.

No one can stand the passage of time.

"Aya, can I take you back to Chang'an!" Su Qingjie pleaded.

"Idiot."

Su Dingfang slowly withdrew his hand and said in an unquestionable tone: "The eldest husband Ma Ge shroud, this is the fate of a soldier, in my life, there is no advance or retreat." ”

"Aye!"

"Needless to say."

Su Dingfang sighed, stood up, and patted Su Qingjie's face with his palm: "Wipe away your tears." ”

After speaking, his eyes turned to Su Dawei: "Ami, you came just in time, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Teacher."

Su Dawei stood up, faced Su Dingfang's cold gaze, and said slowly: "Are you deliberately pretending to be sick?" ”

"Huh."

Su Dingfang smiled with a little relief.

Laughing, too, is acknowledging.

"Boss, the tea is ready."

The clerk on the side said, lifting the clay pot and pouring boiling water into the teapot.

A moment later, the mist rose, carrying the refreshing aroma of tea.

"Sit down, quench your thirst with tea, and then continue."

Su Dingfang gestured, and then he walked to the map hanging between the walls, stretched out his hand and pointed at it: "In the past few years, Tubo has expanded amazingly, and their resilience and resilience have exceeded my expectations, only six years before the Battle of Wuhai, they can annex the entire territory of Tuyuhun."

even had the strength to capture Shanzhou. ”

Su Qing's show light firmly chased Su Dingfang's back, his throat moved slightly, and his expression was still a little sad.

Su Dawei reached over, patted him on the shoulder, and was about to speak, when the clerk brought the brewed teacup over flat.

Su Dawei bowed slightly, holding the teacup in both hands, sniffing the fragrance of tea in the mist, and heard Su Dingfang continue: "I suspect that Tubo already has the land of Tianzhu, and only the plains and climate there are suitable for cultivation and can help Tubo recover.

In addition, there are a large number of strangers in the Tubo army, and there have even been weird people, and Pei Xingjian and I are very troubled by this. ”

As he spoke, he finally turned around, sat down at the table, and looked at Su Dawei: "Ami, what do you think?" ”

"Teacher, I went on this expedition, specially recruited Wang Xuance, a doctor from Chaosan, to praise the painting by his side, according to him, Tubo expanded to the south earlier, and has already had Boni, and Tianzhu has been conquered several times, and Wang Xuance also has a similar judgment to you."

"Wang Xuance?"

Su Dingfang held the tea in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was reminiscing.

In the pale white mist, his white eyebrows stretched slightly: "I remember him, when he went to Tianzhu, he used the soldiers of Tubo and Boni to break through Tianzhu, and this person has some ability." ”

"Yes."

"If even he said that, it seems that there is a good chance that this matter will be nine times out of ten."

Su Dingfang muttered to himself, put down the teacup, and seemed to be deep in thought.

"Teacher."

Su Dawei stared at Su Dingfang through the mist, and asked tentatively: "You are pretending to be sick in order to show weakness to the enemy?" ”

Su Dingfang glanced at him with a calm gaze.

Although he didn't say a word, Su Dawei felt that he had guessed correctly.

Su Dingfang pretended to be sick in order to confuse the enemy.

But at the same time, it shows that the Tubo people in front of them are far more powerful than they imagined.

Su Dingfang, the god of the Tang Dynasty, is invincible, invincible, and treats the enemy like a raging fire.

If the Tubo people in front of him were still the Tubo people in the Battle of Wuhai six years ago, Su Dingfang was only afraid that he would have commanded the Tang Iron Cavalry to trample it over.

Why use the trick of feigning illness.

"Tubo this time is the great minister Lu Dongzan family, Lu Dongzan was appreciated by Taizong back then, his son on Qinling is very good at using soldiers, the old man has designed with Pei Xingjian, want to encircle and annihilate the main force of Tubo led by him, but this person has a strong sense of smell on the battlefield, and at the last moment he sensed the danger and led the troops to escape."

Su Dingfang raised the teacup and took a sip gently.

He did not feel any frustration because he had managed to escape from his encirclement.

Although he will win every battle, he also fights one battle after another from the grassroots level.

Its will is tenacious, like a hundred refined steel.

"If you miss once, it will be difficult to calculate him again."

Su Dawei was silent for a while.

The ability to make Su Dingfang and Pei Xingjian join forces is certainly due to the lack of troops in Hexi and the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty.

But it also shows that the wisdom of Qinling can be called a strong pair in the world.

"Now our preparations are not sufficient, the code is more than enough, and the offensive is insufficient, but the offensive of the Tubo people has not stopped, relying on the superiority of troops and cavalry maneuver, guerrilla attacks in all directions in Hexi, which is quite a headache."

Su Ding said to Su Dawei: "I said that I couldn't get sick, in order to calm his heart, and only when the Tibetan people were relaxed and even arrogant could the flaws be exposed." ”

"What the teacher said is very true."

Su Dawei nodded in agreement and said: "The land of Tubo is vast, and they have a lot of cattle, horses and livestock, which is convenient for migration. ”

After a pause, Su Dawei glanced at Su Qingjie and said: "Before, I discussed with the lion and the generals that I could send a team of soldiers and horses to climb over Dafeichuan, make it look like attacking Fuqi City, mobilize the Tubo people, and then surround the point to send reinforcements, what does the teacher think?" ”

"What about you, what do you think of it?"

"Me? I think there are hidden dangers in this scheme, and although it is beneficial, it is even more harmful. ”

"Where's the benefit? What's the harm? ”

"Teacher, I have always been invincible when I use soldiers, so that the enemy can be defeated.

Sending troops to Dafeichuan and making a gesture of attacking Fuqi City to mobilize the Tubo people was a clever move, and even knocked out one or two of their horse farms.

But these are not fatal blows to the Tibetan people.

Tibet is vast, they have the strength of livestock, cattle and horses, and they are naturally adapted to the environment, and our Tang soldiers are prone to plateau ...... Cough, miasma.

Fighting in such an environment is naturally not conducive to our army.

And Tibet is not only grassland, ice and snow, but also endless icebergs.

These people drilled into the mountains, and our army could not catch up.

The tactics of encircling and sending reinforcements are suitable for conquering the Western Turks and fighting in the Central Plains, but may not be suitable for fighting against Tibet.

If Tibet is mobilized, it may not be the main force.

But our Don Army......

Can't afford to lose. ”
