The end of the order of troops was the entire army. Before leaving, Gu Qing said to Yang Sheng, "I'm useful to send me some news and bring some spirits."

"Okay." Yang Sheng didn't think about it and said a few words to a few acquaintances in the ranks.

The army set out from Chang'an, and Gu Qing rode his horse and followed Yang Sheng, Wu Mei and Wang Yuan, who were dressed as a man, and Cheng Chumo rode his horse and followed, "Hahaha! Gu Qing, I'm here too."

"I've seen it long ago." Gu Qing looked at the other party, "Did your demon king let you out? I'm also wondering why you can still be alive."

"I sneaked out." Cheng Chumo sniffed, "I want to fight too, and I want to be a general."

"I'm afraid your father will send someone to take you back soon." Gu Qing said.

A pair of soldiers rushed towards him from afar. Cheng Chumo looked at the visitor and hurriedly lowered his head to cover his face, "Gu Qing, have your mouth shining?"

“Hahaha…”

The visitor reported to Niu Jinda, and then Niu Jinda glared beside Gu Qing with big eyes, "Come here for me, boy from the Cheng family."

Cheng Chumo raised his courage to lift his chin, "I won't go back!"

"I didn't let you go back." Niu Jinda said, "Your family sent me a message and asked me to beat you on your father's behalf."

“…”

Chang'an is not far from Songzhou, only about two or three days away. Gu Qing asked Yang Sheng, Wang Yuan and Wu Mei to follow him along the way.

Niu Jinda was gnawing a chicken, "Little baby, who is around you..."

"My personal bodyguard." Gu Qing explained.

"I never saw you bring your personal guard when I came." Niu Jinda knew it in his heart, "The little baby is a little close friend, good. I cherish it carefully and don't have many close friends in my life."

"That's it, that's it." Gu Qing nodded.

"I also smelled some rouge." Niu Jinda glared at Gu Qing, "You kid still brings women around you in war. Do you think I dare not deal with you with military law?"

"Boy, don't dare." Gu Qing bowed quickly and said, "Uncle Niu, all the people in the boy's family are uneasy. If Uncle Niu wants military law to deal with it, he will deal with it."

"You are talking cleanly." Niu Jinda continued, "Let them not be too eye-catching in the army anymore. Others will inevitably talk when they see it. After the war, I am looking for you to calculate."

Gu Qing nodded and saw that Niu Jinda had something to say, so he asked Wu Mei to go back first.

"Come on!" Niu Jinda greeted, looking at Sha, "It's almost time to Songzhou, how to fight this battle?"

"Boy doesn't understand military tactics." Gu Qing looked at the sand table.

"I didn't think I could do anything about Tuyuhun last time, why are you not having any ideas now?" Niu Jinda looked at the sand table with a serious expression.

"Actually, this idea is similar to writing poetry, and it pays attention to fate." Gu Qing grabbed his scalp.

"It is easy to defend the city and difficult to attack the city." Niu Jinda said sadly, "It would be fine if he fought against Tubo on the battlefield. But now they cannot defend the city. This siege is just a pile of people's lives, which is several times more difficult than defending the city."

"Did they just keep guarding the city and not leaving? Is there enough food and grass?" Gu Qing continued to ask.

"I think you really don't understand military tactics." Niu Jinda pointed to the sand table, "We are too far from Chang'an, and the army's food and grass are only enough for us to deal with for a month. Chang'an is separated from us for dozens of miles away. The transportation of supplies and food and grass is a problem, and the Tubo people know that our army must have prepared enough food and grass."

"The Tubo people who took Songzhou were led by Songtsen Gampo. I was afraid that Songtsen Gampo was sending people to intercept us. This issue is the most worrying thing." Niu Jinda carried the sword at his waist, "We must fight this battle quickly, otherwise it would be troublesome if Tubo intercepted our retreat."

Although he did not understand military tactics, Gu Qing also understood this principle, and he was afraid that Tubo would defend his life.

"Uncle Niu, the boy asked someone to transport some strong wine, and asked Uncle Niu to agree." Gu Qing said: "These wines are not used to drink, they are used to heal the wounded soldiers."

"Can alcohol heal the wound?" Niu Jinda asked, "Is it an excuse you made."

"It's really not an excuse." Gu Qing said, "I'm following our army. When it can be used, I'll tell Uncle Niu the reason."

"First, I brought the female family and the wine." Niu Jinda warned, "If you dare to blatantly violate military law, I will definitely deal with you. Have you heard of it?"

"Boy understand."

Alcohol is used for disinfection, and soldiers are very important! In ancient times, the concept of hygiene was very weak, and disinfection was hardly done. Even if there was one, they would barely deal with it with a knife. At least they didn't want too many dead people to appear in front of them.

Besides, Wu Mei was in the army. As he walked, he came to the camp where Cheng Chumo was. The black green on his face was sitting with a few soldiers before it even faded.

"What else?" Gu Qing sat by the bonfire.

"Which talks about Tubo," Cheng Chumo replied, "They said that people in the Tubo area would feel uncomfortable."

"Sir, it's true." The soldier stood up, "I went to Tubo when I was a child."

Plateau reaction Gu Qing knew that the deep Tubo was the plateau, where the terrain was different, and people who had been living in the Central Plains for a long time would definitely react when they went to the plateau.

After a bit of science with them, Gu Qing was too lazy to explain more when he returned to his tent, Wu Mei was packing up the bed. As a military official, Gu Qing had an independent tent, and Yang Sheng and Wang Yuan also lived in this tent.

"How are you preparing?" Yang Sheng took off his shoes. "The spirits were separated by a day from behind us. There is no way to drink in the army. What do you want to do?"

"It's very useful." Gu Qing lay down, "Is it difficult to attack the city?"

"Difficult!" Yang Sheng nodded, "This siege is the most test of the general's command ability. It is best to conquer it in one go. If you can't capture it in one go, it will be difficult. The morale of the army, food, time, these things are very harsh."

The next day, the army set sail again at dawn for most of the day, and stopped the army several miles outside Songzhou City to repair it.

"The city is about to be attacked." Yang Sheng handed Gu Qing a pair of armor, "Put it in, be careful."

The surroundings were already cleared by the strong walls. The wind blew the dust on the battlefield and saw the isolated Songzhou City from afar. This was the first time that Gu Qing experienced the war and was very anxious.

Niu Jinda commanded the army to form an array, and the army adjusted for a while before advancing again.

As we moved forward in the distance, the city of Songzhou continued to magnify in front of us until several square steps were placed under the city.

The sky was covered with dark clouds and it was about to rain. The other party was in the Tubo area at this moment. Niu Jinda looked solemn, asking the messengers around him to wave their flags, and the huge battle formation was unfolding, like a layout in a chessboard, and the head of Songzhou city was also surging.
