Song Chong, a guerrilla general who commanded the left army of the fourth battalion of Ximen, became more and more touched by this sentence.

When he was in the Anxi Tiger Battalion, Song Chong was the man of the year in the Tiger Battalion, often won the championship in various competitions, known as the first warrior in the Western Regions, when he was first transferred to the Fourth Army of the West Gate, he looked down on Zheng Peng, and disdained Zheng Peng for arranging an important position for his sworn brothers, thinking that Zheng Peng was not only nepotistic, but also regarded training as a child's play.

Zheng Peng does not train personally, but he is very loved in the army, the two brothers and the subordinate named Lu Jin are ruthless characters, the Ximen Fourth Army was established with the tiger battalion as the main framework, and Song Chong, who had been the tiger battalion when dividing the troops, took advantage of it and collected most of the elite in the battalion, but he didn't expect to almost fall to the bottom when he competed in the army.

When I watched Zheng Peng before, I was a little disdainful in my heart, but now when I heard Zheng Peng invite me to the private house in the back mountain, I even had a feeling of flattery.

You know, even the county lord of Turgish, Lan Duo, wanted to follow him to visit, but he was also refused, and he was so angry that he stomped his feet.

The four of them followed Zheng Peng's henchmen and guards until they reached the top of the back mountain, and Song Chong saw Zheng Peng standing on a big rock on the top of the mountain from a distance.

Zheng Peng was at the highest point of the back mountain and met with his four most trusted subordinates.

"Subordinates, see generals." Guo Ziyi, Cui Xiyi, Lu Jin and Song Chong respectfully saluted Zheng Peng.

If only Guo Ziyi and Cui Xiyi were called brothers, Song Chong and Lu Jin were also there, and Zheng Peng rarely brought the four together.

"Excuse me, get up." Zheng Peng nodded and motioned for the four of them to stand up.

Lu Jin looked at Zheng Peng a little, and said a little strangely: "I don't know what the general has to summon me and others, what are your orders?" ”

Zheng Peng didn't reply to their words, but condescendingly pointed to the military camp below and asked, "Look at it, what's down there?" ”

"The barracks of the Fourth Army of the West Gate." Lu Jin hesitated for a moment, and quickly responded.

"What was the original intention of establishing the Ximen Fourth Army?"

Seeing Zheng Peng's eyes staring at himself when he spoke, Song Chong knew that he was going to answer by himself, and immediately responded: "Back to the general's words, the Tubo thieves are untrustworthy, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo are in a state of fire and water, Xiao Bolu is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, and the position is also very important, and it is not allowed to be related. ”

"Wrong!" Zheng Peng said categorically.

Song Chong was a little stunned all of a sudden, and asked with some cringe: "My subordinates don't know, please ask the general for guidance." ”

Zheng Peng swept the four of them with his gaze, and said seriously: "Among the four of you, it is estimated that some people have guessed the intention of establishing the Ximen Fourth Army, but it is just a guess, listen to it, the general is definitely not a joke, and now I can tell you very responsibly that the establishment of the Ximen Fourth Army is to erase Tubo from the map." ”

Guo Ziyi and Cui Xiyi knew a lot about it, but when they heard the words, their eyes lit up and they didn't react much, Lu Jin and Song Chong heard it, and their eyes were as big as a bull's eye.

"Attack Tubo, my subordinates heard me right, general." Song Chong has also seen a big scene, and he couldn't believe his ears when he heard the words, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

Lu Jin wanted to persuade Zheng Peng not to be impulsive, but shrewdly saw that Guo Ziyi and Cui Xiyi did not express their position, as if they had already known, they stood calmly, opened their mouths, and finally said nothing.

It is very rare for Datang to enter Xiaobolu on such a large scale, and now it is still sending Zheng Peng to garrison, Lu Jin was a little suspicious at the beginning, but it was not easy to ask, after all, it was exiled in the eyes of outsiders, and now Zheng Peng announced it, and he was a little enlightened.

It is clear that the upper echelons of Datang are playing a big game of chess.

"General Song, you heard it right" Zheng Peng said with certainty: "The meaning of the existence of the Fourth Army of the West Gate is to plant the military flag of the Tang Dynasty on the wall of Luoqi City. ”

"General, Tibet is a cursed land." Afraid that Zheng Peng would forget, Song Chong hurriedly reminded.

The tiger camp is the elite of the Western Regions, to be precise, the tiger camp is prepared for Tubo, Tubo has repeatedly gone to the territory of the Tang Dynasty to fight the grass valley, harming the people of the Tang Dynasty, unable to hold the border, the military department blames, the common people also pointed to the back and scolded, saying that the incompetence of the soldiers, Song Chong did not hold his breath in his heart, and also led the team to chase and kill in the territory of Tubo, but every time he returned with a feather, he didn't get any bargain.

It's not that I don't work hard, but not long after I entered the territory of Tibet, I was either dizzy or weak, and I had a lot of strength, how could I fight this battle?

The highest record of the Tang army's invasion of Tibet was set in the early Tang Dynasty, when the emperor gathered, leading more than 1,000 black-armored elite horsemen who were proud of the world, penetrated hundreds of miles into Tibet, and lost more than half of them when they returned, most of which were harmed by the mysterious curse of Tibet.

Song Chong is not afraid of death, but he doesn't want to die unclear.

Zheng Peng smiled and said nothing, Guo Ziyi on the side patted Song Chong's shoulder and said: "General Song, haven't you seen the so-called curse, severe high fever does not go away, dizziness, vomiting, slight general weakness, no energy, remember that you were like this when you first came to the new camp, and now you are not used to it, don't worry, even if you hit some cities, those so-called curses will not hurt you." ”

"Really?" Song Chong said in disbelief.

Guo Ziyi told Song Chong about the altitude sickness that Zheng Peng told him, 1510.

In the end, Guo Ziyi spoke: "What's going on, to be honest, I don't know very well, but I just know that the so-called curse is a paper tiger." ”

Song Chongshen nodded approvingly and said: "I didn't understand it before, saying that there was a curse, why didn't all the people who were arrested in the Tang Dynasty die, and some traders could also go to Tubo to do business, and I thought that they would do some exercises, or get the special grace of the Tubo gods, it turned out to be like this, I understand, I understand." ”

finally found out the reason, and Song Chong had a few more confidence in Zheng Peng.

If Zheng Peng is telling the truth, what a great credit he will make, even if he just follows Zheng Peng, the military merits earned are enough to glorify the lintel and seal his wife, if he is lucky, he may be able to get a knighthood.

Title, how many times does the ancestral tomb of the old Song family have to smoke to do it.

Suddenly, Song Chong thought of something, and said with some pity: "The general's idea is good, but there is a saying that a good man is difficult to defeat with four hands, and there are millions of people in Tubo who control the strings, and no matter how elite the four armies of the West Gate are, there are only 8,000 people, and 8,000 people take Tubo, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

I wanted to say that it was impossible, but I changed it, so as not to make Zheng Peng unhappy when he heard it.

The Fourth Army of the West Gate is based on the Anxi Tiger Battalion as the main framework, and selects elites from various military offices and departments in the Western Regions, but no matter how elite it is, it can't be compared with the legendary army of the founding of the country, the black armor elite cavalry, you must know that the configuration of the black armored elite cavalry at that time was so extravagant that it made people red, such as Cheng Biting Jin, Qin Shubao, Duan Zhixuan and other famous generals, all of whom were small leaders in the black armor elite cavalry.

However, the defeat of the invincible black-armored elite cavalry in the world is only one of the meritorious troops of Li Tang Jianguo, and most of them play a prominent role in key battles, and the Tang Dynasty relies on tens of thousands of troops to build the country.

There is a story that 3,000 Yuejia can swallow Wu, however, Tubo is by no means the Wu State that can be swallowed by 3,000 Yuejia.
