Chapter 1116

In the vast Gobi desert, the sun is extremely hot. Being here is like a steamer. An army of about 1000 people is marching in the heat. This army is the firearms supervisor.

"Brother Ju, have a drink," Morton raised a kettle and threw it aside to an elegant young man, who was Qu Zhisheng.

"Mo Hou is polite. Sinners really don't deserve it." Qu Zhisheng humbly took over the kettle and drank a sip of water gracefully.

Merton shook his head and said, "brother Ju is too polite. After brother Ju goes to Chang'an City, we are all ministers in the same hall. There is no need to be polite."

Qu Zhisheng couldn't help laughing: "mohou really thinks highly of Qu. Ju is just a person who destroyed the country. I'm afraid he can't go out of Chang'an city all his life. It's enough to protect his life."

Merton took a deep look at Qu Zhisheng and said, "brother Ju is too pessimistic. Misfortune comes with blessing, and fortune comes with misfortune. From the perspective of Mo, Gaochang's destruction of the country is not a completely bad thing for brother Ju."

Qu Zhisheng couldn't help but draw from the corners of his mouth. He used to be the king of Gaochang, but now he has become a prisoner. He was sent to Chang'an City and publicized the achievements of the Tang emperor. It's not a bad thing.

Merton didn't know what Qu Zhisheng thought, and then explained: "Brother Ju has thought about this. Gaochang is so powerful. However, in front of all countries, it is just a joke. Western Turks, Tubo, and even Xue yantuo and tiele in the north can easily destroy Gaochang. At that time, brother Ju and Gaochang must know what happened. Now Gaochang is captured by the Tang Dynasty, the Gaochang royal family can still be preserved, and brother Ju is appointed as Jin by the imperial court Chengjun Gong can be passed down from generation to generation in the Tang Dynasty. Who can tell whether it is a blessing or a curse? "

"West Turk, Tubo, Xue yantuo." Qu Zhisheng shuddered when he thought about this. Naturally, he knew Gaochang's situation. Usually, he could only survive in the cracks between the countries. Rao was so, he could not offend any one, and even was blackmailed from time to time. If Gaochang was really destroyed by the three countries, I'm afraid he had already gone through a different place, and his wife and daughter's fate would be even more miserable.

The fact that he was able to keep his family safe depended entirely on the fact that the Tang Dynasty was a state of etiquette. In addition, with the example of Jieli Khan, he was only moved to surrender at that time. If the other three countries came to attack Gaochang, I'm afraid Qu Zhisheng had only one way, that is, resistance to the end. Of course, the final outcome may be even more tragic.

"Thank you for your outspoken words." Qu Zhisheng thanked Hou Junji again. Hou Junji also wanted to kill Qu Zhisheng. Fortunately, after Merton analyzed the advantages and disadvantages, Hou Junji put down his intention to kill Qu Zhisheng and detained Qu Zhisheng temporarily. He didn't hear the news about the looting of the Tang Army. However, he kept his mouth shut for fear of revealing a flaw and causing death.

"The reason why I spoke at the beginning is that I know your Majesty's personality. Don't be discouraged. Now there are many generals of other families in Chang'an City who are highly valued. As long as brother Qu is interested in the Tang Dynasty, he may be highly valued by your Majesty in the future." Merton advised that in his impression, Qu Zhisheng was directly reused by the court and released as an official. As long as Qu Zhisheng didn't produce a moth, the future outcome wouldn't be too miserable.

Qu Zhisheng thought about the famous Hu general in the Tang army. He couldn't help nodding and said, "Tian Khan has a broad mind, and the sinners have heard it for a long time, and he admires it."

Thinking of the rumors of Tian Khan, Qu Zhisheng was a little relieved, and his fear of going to Chang'an city was much less.

"Going out of the Gobi desert!" suddenly there was a cheering in front. Merton looked at it and saw that some green had appeared in front. They had passed through the next two thousand miles unknowingly.

"Datang is coming."

Qu Zhisheng was shocked and walked out of the Gobi for two thousand miles. I'm afraid they will arrive at the boundary of Datang.

In the past, he admired the culture and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. He imagined that he could ascend the throne one day, personally come to see the Khan and see the prosperity of Chang'an City, but he didn't expect to come to Chang'an City in this way.

The whole firearms warden cheered one after another. Although the firearms warden brought sufficient water and food, the intense heat of the two thousand mile Gobi Desert still made the firearms warden suffer. As long as they walked out of the two thousand mile Gobi desert, they would soon reach Yumen pass, where they would get sufficient supplies and rest.

At the thought of returning to Datang, a group of firearm supervisors accelerated their pace and marched forward.

Suddenly in front of him, Xue Rengui raised his telescope at will. This is his accomplishment as a soldier. He always observes and confirms his safety at any time. However, this time, several Hu Qi scouts appeared in a piece of yellow sand in the telescope.

This is indeed a Huqi scout. Xue Rengui will never admit his mistake. He has experienced the battle of Tuyuhun in the western expedition and the battle of Gaochang in the western expedition. How can he not distinguish the difference between Huqi and ordinary business travel.

At that moment, Xue Rengui waved his big hand and led the two teams of firearms supervision cavalry to quietly hide their body shape and encircle Hu Qi.

Although Hu Qi scouts didn't have binoculars, they were extremely alert. They soon perceived the danger and immediately turned around and ran away. Xue Rengui raised his bow and shot. Other firearm supervisors shot one after another. Soon, several Hu Qi scouts fell to the ground with arrows, but one scout reluctantly urged his horse to leave and fled quickly.

Xue Rengui's face was dignified. He came forward to check the killed Hu Qi scouts. When he saw the prominent plateau red on Hu Qi's face, he couldn't help looking dignified.

"Tubo cavalry!" exclaimed the firearm officer.

Xue Rengui's face was embarrassed. He never thought that the Tibetan cavalry appeared in the vast Gobi Desert thousands of miles away, and it was just the Tibetan scouts. No one could tell how many people and horses there were behind him.

"Go back and report the sacrifice." Xue Rengui knew that the situation was serious and went back immediately.

In the arrow, the Tubo scouts galloped and soon came to the hiding place of the Tubo army.

"General, the firearm supervisor appeared. They found us in advance and attacked us." the cavalry scout who was hit by the arrow said weakly.

Hearing the description of Zhongjian's scouts, he was not angry but happy about Qinling: "well, the Mohist family finally appeared. This time, I will step on the bones of the Mohist family and become famous all over the world."

"Get on the horse, find the firearm prison and kill the mojiazi!" said Lun Qinling with a big hand.

In an instant, five thousand Tubo cavalry got on their horses and went straight to the firearm prison. Along the way, yellow sand rose everywhere and the murderous spirit rolled.

"Worship Lord, there is an enemy!"

Xue Rengui leads the team to Merton and tells the story of finding Tubo scouts.

"Tubo people! Bad! Got caught!" Merton frowned and exclaimed one after another. From this time, he realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in Gaochang city that Princess Changle was pregnant and hoped Merton would return to Chang'an City as soon as possible, from an old Mohist who asked a messenger for success to ask for words, to someone who directly went to Hou Junji's big account of the Chinese army, In retrospect, there must be an invisible hand to push, and it is obvious that this hand is operated by Tubo, and there must be insiders of Datang to fuel the fire. Only by cooperating internally and externally can we achieve no mountain and no dew.

Merton subconsciously felt something was wrong and refused to come back first. However, he was blinded by this kindness, coupled with his worry about Princess Changle.

Fortunately, this time he didn't return alone, otherwise he would have no power to return to heaven. Now there are more firearm supervisors around him, and he has the power of a war.

"How can there be Tubo people here?" Qu Zhisheng was surprised. You know, Tubo is thousands of miles away from here. It's very unreasonable to appear here.

Merton looked back at Qu Zhisheng and said, "brother Ju may not know. Just during the war of Gaochang, Tubo suddenly united with Tuyuhun's traitors and killed Murong Shun, king of Tuyuhun. The westernmost city of Tuyuhun is only hundreds of miles away from here. It's not difficult to understand the emergence of Tubo here."

"Ah! Fu Shun, no, Murong Shun is dead!" Qu Zhisheng exclaimed.

Naturally, he knew that Murong Shun was originally expected to be the best treatment. He was supported by Tian Khan as the king of Gaochang like Murong Shun. Now, after hearing Murong Shun's experience, he found that it was good to be a Jincheng County Duke in Datang, at least there was no worry about life. You know that there were Tubo behind Tuyuhun and West Turks behind Gaochang, He can't guarantee that he won't end up in Murong Shun.

If it was before, Qu Zhisheng could not help feeling remorseful. If Gaochang could persist and rely on the support of Western Turks and Tubo, he would have a great chance to keep Gaochang. However, now Qu Zhisheng is only thankful. The more tenacious he resists when the firearm prison breaks the city, I'm afraid the end will be miserable. Now what's left is only thankfulness.

"Wine worship Lord, in my opinion, the reason why the Tibetan cavalry appeared outside the Gobi desert must be for gunpowder and wine worship. Please withdraw to Gaochang for the time being and let the end stop these Tibetan troops in the future." Xue Rengui arched his hand. Since the firearm prison broke the city in Gaochang City, the firearm prison will attract coveted eyes everywhere. Xue Rengui knows that the firearm prison has been targeted by the public now, and the appearance of Tubo soldiers and horses in front of him is the best proof.

Merton shook his head and said: "We're in the Gobi desert for two thousand miles. I'm afraid the remaining water source is not enough to go back. Even if we retreat, where can we retreat? Moreover, according to the military newspaper, our army has gained the upper hand in Tuyuhun, and the Tubo army has slowly retreated towards the Tubo plateau. At present, the number of Tubo troops can't be too large, and the environment here can't accommodate a large number of soldiers Ma, what's more, I'm not without the strength of a war. "

Merton knew that once surrounded by wolves, turning around and running away was the stupidest choice. The only way was to find a favorable terrain to defend and counterattack.

When Tubo comes over thousands of miles, it can only be cavalry. What cavalry fear most is naturally desert. Once cavalry loses mobility, sand is the most important thing in the Gobi desert.

"Choose a sandy land and arrange a defense formation. Xue Rengui leads 300 cavalry to wander away from the battlefield and contain the Tubo army." Merton ordered. At the same time, he did not forget to send two teams, one to Gaochang and the other to Yumenguan for help.

"Yes!" the officers and men of the firearm supervisor took action one after another. Soon, the Tang army chose an open sandy land, and 200 carriages surrounded the vehicle array. The firearms secretly developed by each firearm supervisor were placed, and the weapons of the whole firearm supervisor

When confronted with the enemy's defense, the firearm supervisor has practiced many times. Even the carriage pulled by the firearm supervisor is specially made to fight for defense.

Countries covet gunpowder, and how can the firearm supervisor not know his situation? He has already made a considerable number of defensive weapons to defend gunpowder. This is also the reason why Merton is confident to keep the firearm supervisor.

However, when the firearm supervisor arranged the defense formation, Merton couldn't help blurting out: "hasty!"
