Chapter 798: I, Han Yue, never take revenge overnight
Songtsan roared angrily a few times, and suddenly threw away the leather whip in his hand viciously, he paced back and forth with an anxious face, and kept repeating in his mouth: "What to do, what to do, the Allahs asked me to force the confession of Changsun Chong, but I didn't ask anything at all, there is no secret recipe for gunpowder in the Tang Dynasty, the muskets captured by the Allahs are just scrap iron, and the ten cannons are also useless, and the mines I promised to offer cannot be manufactured, what to do, what to do, if you can't ask the secret recipe for gunpowder, the Allahs are afraid that they will turn their faces and be ruthless." ”
Speaking of this, he subconsciously shuddered, and suddenly shouted: "Go and bring two buckets of water over, and wake up this eldest grandson Chong with water for me, this emperor doesn't believe that he is an iron body, I must dig out the secret recipe of gunpowder from his mouth!" ”
Everyone in the secret room hurriedly agreed, and someone hurriedly took two buckets, and then threw them at Changsun Chong with a bang, but unfortunately Changsun Chong, who was in a coma, convulsed a few times, and finally failed to wake up.
"Damn it!"
Songtsan gritted his teeth, suddenly turned around and shouted anxiously, "Go and call a doctor to come over, Changsun Chong can't die now." ”
The man with the bucket said yes again, and hurried out down the passage.
The remaining few people are all high-level Tubo officials, and they are all at a loss to stay next to them at this time, and some people's eyes flickered slightly, and they suddenly came to Songzan's side and said: "Your Majesty Puzan, I'm afraid we have to think of a way out, I see that this eldest grandson Chong is very hard-tongued, I'm afraid that the secret recipe of gunpowder can't be dug out, if there is no gunpowder as a merit to give to the Allahs, those murderous guys can't spare everyone!" ”
His voice was very low, as if with some kind of cringe, obviously hiding in the secret room, but he still spoke cautiously, and said again: "You also know that the Allahs are not as reasonable as the Han people, when we encountered their army getting lost, kindly brought back the territory and immediately turned against the guest, these people only have conquest and interests in their bones, if we can't hand over the gunpowder secret recipe promised to them, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it's ......"
Songtsan shivered subconsciously, and his whole face was gloomy and almost dripping.
His throat rolled quietly a few times, obviously with fear in his heart, and suddenly turned his gaze to everyone, and asked urgently: "Is there any news from the spies sent out to track down, and have you found the trace of Princess Changle?" Changsun Chong knows the secret recipe of gunpowder, and Princess Changle also knows the secret recipe of gunpowder! ”
Everyone present naturally knew what he meant, and the previous man sighed slightly when he heard this, and slowly shook his head and said: "The spies chased all the way to the edge of the plateau, and they failed to catch the princess from beginning to end, as if she disappeared out of thin air, and we thousands of people couldn't find a single woman......"
He paused slightly when he said this, couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Songtsan Gan, and said cautiously: "Puzan, do you say that there is a god behind to bless her, so Princess Changle can escape safely, that princess has always been kind to the people of Tibet, maybe she is really like the serfs said, but the goddess of heaven gave to Tibet!" ”
"Ridiculous, nonsense, how is it possible?" Songtsan interrupted with a loud yell, but his face couldn't help but show horror.
The Tibetan people believe in the gods of heaven and have this natural fear of the gods and Buddhas, and Princess Changle mysteriously disappeared on the Tibetan Plateau, which has already caused panic among many rebels.
They used thousands of people to track down a weak woman, but every time they came close to catching her, they always fell short, and once or twice they could explain it, and many times in a row it was easy to think of miracles.
Songtsan took a deep breath, as if to suppress all the fear in his heart, he suddenly flashed his eyes a few times again, and asked again: "In addition to Princess Changle and Changsun Chong, there are several high-level Han people sitting in Tubo, such as the monk who came from Mount Emei to preach Buddhism, and the young Taoist priest named Message from Qingcheng Mountain, these two people are said to be Li Yue's friends, and often help Princess Changle govern Tubo......
This is almost a rush to the doctor, as long as it is a Han people, they want to arrest it, a few people present quietly looked at each other, the person who spoke before sighed lightly again, and said with a wry smile: "Puzan or give up, these two people are more difficult to catch than Princess Changle, that day we led the Allah army to sneak attack, and this monk disappeared directly." ”
He quietly swallowed his saliva when he said this, and then said: "At the same time, there are 20,000 leaders of the three guards of Xifu, it is said that this person should fight to the death as a general, but as a result, he fled directly without a trace, and the fault is not that the 20,000 soldiers fought to the death and did not surrender, we really want to doubt whether the name of the three guards of Xifu was blown out." ”
Songzan's face twitched a few times, his pupils were obviously filled with fear, and he muttered: "20,000 against 200,000 people, but a big battle killed nearly 100,000 Alla troops, this kind of combat power is by no means boastful, Xifu Sanwei is indeed invincible in the world......"
The man next to him swallowed his spit again, and cautiously reminded: "I heard that this army has a total of 400,000 people, if Li Yue sends another 100,000 people to Tubo......
Songtsan shuddered all over, his face twitched again, he wanted to pretend to be arrogant and disdainful, but the laughter choked in his throat and couldn't be released.
After a long time, the whole chamber fell silent, and it was clear that everyone was worried and afraid, fearing that this would happen in the future.
In the end, Songtsan smiled reluctantly, and said dryly: "Li Yue has just founded the country, and he will not be able to spare his energy in five or ten years, and after he can spare his energy, the emperor has already dominated the plateau with the support of the Allas, and even if the three guards of Xifu come over, I will have the confidence to fight with him." ”
I hope so!
Everyone in the secret room sighed in their hearts, and no one opened their mouths to agree.
The small stone chamber was cold and damp, only the charcoal fire in the brazier crackled, and several people seemed to have lost the interest in extorting confessions under torture, and slowly left this private prison with a long sigh.
They are rebels, betraying the generous gifts and relief given to them by the Tang Dynasty, and the more rebels become, the more timid they become, both in conscience and spirit.
On the night when they interrogated Changsun Chong, a bright moon rose in the east of the Tubo Plateau, and the moonlight on the plateau was silvery and white, and a large army quietly came from the east.
At the entrance of the plateau, it is the territory of a small Tibetan tribe, which has been in contact with the territory of the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and the people of the tribe have eight adults who admire the life of the Han people. When the army crept into the mountains, instead of sounding the horn of the alarm, the tribe sent guides to lead the way with joy.
So the army of 100,000 was like a ghost, silently stationed in this tribal territory.
The Tibetan people believe in all kinds of immortal Buddhas, almost every tribe has built a temple, the big tribe builds a big temple, the small tribe builds a small temple, this tribe is too weak and poor, so there is only a slightly dilapidated temple standing in the center, when the army enters the territory, there are suddenly three figures in the dilapidated temple slowly walked out.
An elderly monk, a young Taoist priest, and the last one was covered in armor, and it was the general of the three guards of the Xifu who had disappeared for a long time.
Songtsan Gan guessed wrong, Han Yue will send troops now, although the Chinese Empire is now unwilling to carry out with the Arab Empire, but the territory of Tubo must be recovered. In Han Yue's words, it is actually very simple, revenge is not overnight, I beat my sister, I can't wait five years to kill people, these rebels in Tubo will die today.
