Chapter 1037 Cannibal who wants to go home (1)
Zhang Jiuling and Li Taibai walked out of the Hexi Corridor and came all the way to the territory of Tubo. The terrain here is very flat and there are no hills at first glance.
Li Taibai drank wine along the way and said, "Brother Zhang, what kind of person do you think Songtsen Gampo is."
"I think." Zhang Jiuling smiled and said, "It may be a bit too much to say that he was born at the wrong time. I think if it weren't for Gu Qing's existence, Songzan Gampo might have achieved higher achievements. He had a feeling that he had born Yu and He Shengliang. Now Gu Qing is too dazzling. Brother Taibai, I have heard of something from that time. When Tuyuhun invaded the border of the Tang Dynasty, Gu Qing was eyeing Songzan Gampo at that time."
"At that time, Songtsen Gampo had not yet become a climate, that is, after the Tuyuhun incident, Songtsen Gampo was suppressed by Gu Qing." Zhang Jiuling lowered his tone, "It was like a fateful contradictory. Gu Qing could take a step forward in many things. No matter how Songtsen Gampo struggled, Gu Qing could beat him down."
"You are a bit weird to say this." Li Taibai nodded and said.
"If you meet Gu Qing, you will definitely feel very special." Zhang Jiuling said.
Li Taibai grabbed the horse's reins and looked at Zhang Jiuling, "What does it feel like?"
"It's like he's known you since a long time ago." Zhang Jiuling said with a smile.
"Is that true? After you said that, I want to meet Gu Qing more and more." Li Taibai looked at the distant line of the world.
Zhang Jiuling rested and continued, "Many people want to be like Gu Qing. It is such a great glory to have a life of less than one person a day, but after I met Gu Qing several times, I found that for Gu Qing, the days now are what he hates the most."
Li Taibai sat on the grass and said, "Everyone said he is a very strange person."
"There is nothing strange. I think Gu Qing is not much different from ordinary people. It's just that what Gu Qing wants to stick to is different from the values in the eyes of some people. If one day, Gu Qing can really leave the court, really stop being a prime minister and not having to go out of the temple. I'm quite willing to celebrate for him."
"How do you say this?"
"Gu Qing doesn't like power, but people with power want to put Gu Qing under power."
After Zhang Jiuling said that, Li Bai thought for a while and said, "I guess he can surpass Gu Qing and have the only royal family under power."
"Yeah." Zhang Jiuling nodded slightly, "There is an indescribable account between the royal family and Gu Qing, and there is also an unbreakable marriage. I used to think that Gu Qing's fate would be like the kings and princes who have been around for thousands of years, but later I discovered how small the threat Gu Qing is to the royal family is now. Gu Qing has no military power. Gu Qing is trapped in the village and has not been to the court for a long time, and he even has rarely visited Chang'an."
"So I think Gu Qing is the least threatening to the royal family. Sometimes I also think that if Gu Qing's desire for power is stronger, the world will be in chaos." Zhang Jiuling sighed.
"Why does it feel like a hero is old at a young age? Gu Qing is less than thirty years old now."
Zhang Jiuling opened the water bag and drank a sip of wine and said, "The ten years Gu Qing came to Chang'an with Sun Simiao. In those ten years, Gu Qing experienced many ups and downs than ordinary people have to experience in his life. At that time, I had a good relationship with Gu Qing's son Gu Xiao in the academy. At that time, I heard Gu Xiao say that his father said the most was to think that he had lived for two lives. Sometimes when I think back on all kinds of things, even I doubt whether Gu Qing had lived for two lives."
"How could someone live for two lives?" Li Taibai shook his head.
"Yes, how could someone live for two lifetimes?" Zhang Jiuling nodded.
"There are many horse hoof prints and traces of camp tents ahead. It seems that we are not far from the army, and we should be able to arrive in a few days." Li Taibai looked at the scenery in the distance and didn't know what the battle was like.
Xue Rengui received the reward from the scout and had contacted Wang Xuance and Xue Ji and his group in the rear. It seemed that the people from the Haimao Department had indeed arrived at the rear and had confidence in their hearts.
Di Renjie rode a horse and said, "The army is coming soon."
The 300,000 reinforcements from the Hexi Corridor arrived, and Xue Rengui still had concerns on his face. This worry was stronger than before. Is there more than 300,000 troops? It was indeed not many. Rome came all the way east and had almost never encountered any opponents after winning all the way.
This time, the Great Food attacked Tubo several times and was beaten down, which almost gave the arrogant Rome a blow. Rome would not underestimate this war. Now that it is facing Rome's full-strength attack, the Romans will never underestimate the Tang Dynasty again, and they will definitely do their best.
Songtsen Gampo also rode his horse and said, "The 36 countries in the Western Regions sent 60,000 troops to support us, and we will soon arrive in Tubo."
Lu Dongzan came to the camp and said, "The King of Nanzhao sent a letter of nationality, and Nanzhao sent 30,000 troops to rush to help us."
All these are good news. Di Renjie looked at Xue Rengui's expression still badly and asked in a low voice: "Brother Xue, is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing, maybe I'm over-concerned." Xue Rengui retracted his mind.
The strong wind blew across the yellow earth, and dust raised again.
The King of Great Food looked at the Roman army behind and said, "Let the Romans let go, let us Great Food go home, we will not fight this battle."
The envoys sent several times faced the silence of the Romans, and neither the Roman emperor nor the official gave a reply.
The Romans blocked the main road for the Great Cannibal to go back. Facing the several reports from the Great Cannibal King, the Romans did not give any words as if they wanted to cut off the connection.
"Let us go back!"
The old King of Great Food shouted loudly towards the Roman military formation through a long distance, and the Roman military formation was still motionless.
The confrontation lasted until night, the Dashi military camp had already been declining, and some Dashi people quietly left the military camp, wanting to bypass India and return to Dashi.
The next day, as soon as the sky was dawn, the King of Dashi found several corpses outside his military camp. These were the Great Veterans who were secretly trying to slip away at night. The King of Dashi looked at the corpses with tears in his eyes. These were all the men of Dashi. The Romans had already started to kill allies. As long as one of them left the Romans, they would kill one, right?
"They just want to go home!" King Dashi gritted his teeth and sobbed and pulled his sword up, "Fuzheng, you devil!"
