Many soldiers finished their food and immediately continued to sleep and seized time to recover their physical strength. Such a battle was too exhausting, especially when they followed them to intercept the soldiers and horses in India.

"This is the most difficult battle." Yang Sheng said with his sword closed, "It's the first time we have fought so many battles that require such a long journey. I see what Su Dingfang and Cheng Chumo meant, and they wouldn't stop easily."

Gu Qing certainly understood that the Silk Road would be chaotic if the Tang Dynasty did not show its attitude this time.

"What else do you lack?" Lu Dongzan brought a lot of food and water sources.

Although there was food and grass supply in the rear of the Tang army, it was not so fast that it needed to travel a long distance. Lu Dongzan took the initiative to take on the logistics brigade, and many Tubo people were helping the Tang army clean up the military camp.

"Thank you," Yang Sheng said to Lu Dongzan.

"You're welcome." Lu Dongzan also said, "There is a yellow sand wind blowing near the Persian territory. I see that I can't get over the food for a while."

"Yellow sand wind?" Gu Qing was puzzled.

"It's the yellow sand wind." Lu Dongzan continued, "The sand is blown up by the wind, and he can't see his five fingers. No matter how many army there are in the cannibals, they will be buried by the yellow sand."

"Sandstorm?"

"Sandstorm?" Lu Dongzan said hesitantly, "Is that what you call Zhongyuan?"

"This is not important." Gu Qing replied that sandstorms are a natural phenomenon, especially in countries on yellow sand. Sometimes a sandstorm can bury a country alive. Unexpectedly, this time it was hit by Dashi.

"Gu Qing!"

Gu Qing's contemplation was interrupted by a full greeting, and Su Dingfang hurriedly came, "The envoy of the Indians is here, will we see each other or not? If we march and fight, I understand it, but I can't handle the matter of receiving the envoys."

"Let him go, we won't see you." Gu Qing said directly as a rejection, "Tell them that they have to pay back when they come out. They must know what they do, and let them kneel down and apologize!"

"Okay!" Su Ding nodded, "I'll let someone reply to the Indian envoy."

Pei Xingjian stood outside the camp. The Tang army slaughtered more than 100,000 troops from Tianzhu in a battle, which scared the people of Tianzhu so much that they sent people to admit defeat. When they heard the soldiers coming to send a message, Pei Xingjian asked Tubo to think of the Tianzhu envoys and said their purpose, so he sent these Tianzhu envoys away.

Gu Qing walked around the military camp, came to Lu Dongzan and said, "Let's have a good chat."

"If you have any questions, please tell me." Lu Dongzan looked at Gu Qing.

"That's right." Gu Qing picked up a branch and painted it on the ground, "This is Tianzhu, above Tianzhu is your Tubo, and Persia is just west of Tianzhu and Tubo."

"That's right." Lu Dongzan nodded.

"Actually, I have a worry." Gu Qing drew a line to link Tianzhu and Dashi. "Although the Indians who have already killed now have to come to the envoy to negotiate peace, I am still worried that if our Tang army Dashi starts war in Persia, the Indians take the opportunity to take Tubo and intercept our retreat?"

After listening to Gu Qing's words, Lu Dongzan also fell into deep thought.

Seeing the other party hesitating, Gu Qing continued, "I'm saying it clearly. There are many countries on this trade route, both big and small, and the strongest ones are our Tang Dynasty, Dashi, Persia, and Tianzhu, right?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Dongzan said in confusion.

"Once we confront Dashi head-on, it will not be the matter between Dashi and our Tang Dynasty, but the whole business road." Gu Qing drew out the entire business road with a line. "The whole business road country is watching us. Once we are defeated, everything that the Tang Dynasty operates will be destroyed. Except for Yumen Pass, you will fall into chaos in the Western Regions of Tubo."

"I understand everything you said." Lu Dongzan continued, "I will do my best to help you the Tang Dynasty. If you lose the entire Western Regions, it will be even worse for us Tubo."

"It seems we have reached a consensus?" Gu Qing said with a smile, "I need you to take a army to guard the border between Tubo and Tianzhu to guard against the Indians. If there is any change, it will be fine."

"We are probably not capable of our Tubo army now."

"You don't have to worry about this." Gu Qing explained to him, "I will give you 10,000 troops. I am not afraid of you, Tubo, will definitely be afraid of our Tang army. I will bring our Tang army and horses and flags. Now you, Tubo is also a part of our Tang Dynasty."

"Yes, I'll listen to you." Lu Dongzan nodded, "But I have a request!"

"you say!"

"I want a firearm." Lu Dongzan said.

"Of course." Gu Qing stood up again, "But the firearm can only be used by our Tang army, because you Tubo people don't understand the use of firearms. If you are not careful, you will hurt your own people. If you have any abnormal movements in the Indians, we will attack Tianzhu immediately after killing Dashi! Whoever dares to disrupt the peace of the Silk Road will never be spared. Even if Tianzhu disappears from this world, it will be spared."

"I'll feel relieved with you." Lu Dongzan nodded.

As the two of them were talking, a team of officials came, "Dare you ask the Shangshu Ling?"

"What are these?"

"They are the officials sent by you Tang Dynasty." Lu Dongzan said as he left to prepare for the matter.

"The Shangshu Ling sent troops as soon as we arrived, and we had not had time to see the Shangshu Ling." Several officials said.

"The war is urgent." Gu Qing explained, "How are you okay as an official in Tubo?"

"Everything is pretty good." The leading official is the new prefect of Tubo, "Chang'an is good now."

"It's very stable, Your Majesty is in good health." Gu Qing looked at the officials, "You must have something to do when you come to see me at this time, but it's okay."

"Then let's talk." Several officials looked at each other, "When we came to Tubo, we all came alone. The wives, children and children in the family were still in Guanzhong, and they have been separated for several years."

"So that's the problem." Gu Qing paced back and forth, "Does there be no official to take over you?"

"When we first came, our Majesty's will was to let us recover Tubo." They replied, "I didn't say that I would go back to Guanzhong, nor did I say that we would go back and ignore Tubo, but that the old and young people in our family really made us worry."

"You have suffered so much. I have been to work for a long distance to be an official." Gu Qing said, "Well, when I go back to Chang'an, I will tell His Majesty about this matter, let you go back to Guanzhong and let other officials take over you."
