Chapter 85 Sending troops to Tianzhu

"Ami, I have been fighting for my life and destroyed countless countries, but what I am most proud of is not how many victories I have won or how many countries I have destroyed."

Su Dingfang murmured to the setting sun in the flashing fire of Luosian City: "The most proud thing is that you and Pei Xingjian are the two students."

"teacher?"

Su Dawei looked at him in surprise, but saw Su Dingfang's eyes shining.

At this moment, he stood straight on the horse's back and looked radiant.

"In this life, I have fought countless wars and destroyed countless countries. What I have learned in my life and have successors. What I regret?"

Yan He, Su Dingfang laughed loudly.

Su Dawei felt an ominous premonition in his heart and hurriedly shouted: "Teacher, why don't I help you back to the camp and take a rest first, teacher?"

His voice came to an abrupt end.

Su Dingfang was bathing in the sunset, and his white hair was gently whirling with the wind on the plateau.

But under the white hair, my pupils have already dissipated.

"Teacher, Master! Come on!"

...

"Lion, be mourn and follow the changes."

"Take care of yourself!"

The Tang army's tent was set up as a simple mourning hall, and Su Dingfang's body had been washed and dressed neatly and placed in a coffin.

The tablet of Su Dingfang was written on the case.

Su Qingjie knelt on one side, like a puppet who had lost his soul.

Although I had known that my father had not had much time, I never thought that at the moment of victory, he would leave like this.

Walked suddenly.

It caught everyone off guard.

The Taoist priests of Maoshan Sect were listed in front of the tent, and their mouths were moved lightly, reciting the Taoist scriptures, and praying for Su Dingfang to pass away.

It is said that if there are too many killings in life, there will inevitably be many burdens and cause and effect.

Both Buddhism and Taoism have methods to eliminate karma.

The emperor's surname is Li, Chongdao, and he is also more compliant with Taoist rituals in the army.

Su Dawei's dark face was a little sad. He first clasped his fists to the military general who came to worship, returned the gift as his family, and then knelt next to the coffin like Su Qingjie.

He whispered in Su Qingjie's ear: "The memorial to repay the court has been sent to Chang'an with a hundred miles of speed. Lion, don't be too sad, the teacher said..."

"What did Grandpa say to you in the end?" Su Qingjie was shocked.

He had never heard Su Qingjie's voice.

I was so hoarse that I hadn't slept for several days and nights, and my whole throat was broken.

"The teacher said that he has fought countless wars in his life and destroyed countless countries. He has learned everything and has inherited his disciples. He has no regrets."

Su Dawei looked at Su Qingyue.

Seeing his eyes red and swollen as walnuts.

That's because the tears are dry, so it's like this.

Men don’t cry easily because they have not reached the sad place.

Who can really see through the eight sufferings of life, birth, old age, sickness and death?

"The teacher was not suffering when he left. Lion, you will be the head of the Su family from now on. Everyone will look at you and must hold on."

Su Dawei stretched out his hand, pressed it on Su Qingjie's shoulder, and pinched it hard.

"He didn't mention me in the end."

"Um?"

Su Dawei was stunned.

Su Qingjie said in a hoarse voice: "In the end, he only told you, and refused to let me beside him. From beginning to end, he thought I was useless and I could not inherit his mantle. I was his useless son."

Su Qingjie raised his hand and covered his face.

His body seemed to be twitching slightly.

Endless regrets and regrets are eating his heart.

"If I... if I was more sensible back then, listen to Grandpa, join the army early, maybe... or if I have the ability of you, maybe Grandpa would be proud of me.

I always thought that I was still young and my grandfather could watch me more and watch me grow up. It was too late now.

It's too late, I... no matter how good I do, I won't know.

He can never see it again.”

There was a heart-wrenching pain in my hoarse throat.

Su Dawei held his shoulder hard, moved closer to him, and lowered his voice: "You are wrong, Lion, don't you know your grandfather's character? If he doesn't recognize you, he won't stay by your side.

If you really think you are not good, you will only kick you far away, kick down below, and start with ordinary soldiers.

Have you forgotten the truth of Ashin back then?"

When he was expeditioning the Western Turks, Ashindao was really taken away from his post by Ashinsheer because of his mistake and kicked into the Western Army under Cheng Zhijie, starting with the scout camp.

When Su Qingjie mentioned this old thing, he came back to his senses slightly. He stopped his sadness and whispered: "My grandpa, he really doesn't think I can't do it?"

"You are also a member of the army now and can lead the army alone. Your grandfather is here to let you see with your own eyes how he uses troops. I still can't figure it out? Are you stupid?"

"You're stupid."

Su Qingjie was finally out of his emotions after being told by him.

Su Dawei took the opportunity to punch him hard on the shoulder: "You are not young anymore. Now you are the head of the Su family and the pillar of the Su family. The teacher is also watching you from the sky and cheering me up."

"Hiss~"

Su Qingjie took a deep breath and couldn't help but rub his shoulders while whispering: "You have such heavy hands, evil thief, okay, don't worry, I won't be a woman anymore. I'm Su Dingfang's son, and I won't let him down."

"It's good that you can think of it."

Su Dawei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After returning the ceremony to the soldiers who had come to worship, he continued to Su Qingjie: "When the ceremony is over, you should rest for a while. When the army turns back, I will work with you to help the teacher with your spirits."

"rest?"

Su Qingjie chewed for a moment, looked up at him, and a hint of confusion flashed in his red and swollen eyes: "Are you going to discuss military information later?"

"You don't have to pay attention, I and Wen Sheng will deal with it."

"No."

Su Qingjie shook his head and said, "Although Luoshe City has been captured, according to the captured Tubo soldiers, Tubo Zanpumang Songmang was taken away by strangely. If this person is not eliminated, the war in Tubo will not end."

He took a breath and said, "Grandpa is watching me in the sky. I want to participate in the pursuit of Zamp, which can be considered as a settlement for Grandpa."

Su Dawei looked at him carefully, and saw that he was in good spirits, nodded and said, "Okay, you can come too soon."

...

"Escape to India?"

Su Dawei looked at the spread out map and looked up at the scout Tang Jun: "Is the news true?"

"Maintain, it's true."

The scout said affirmatively: "In order to pursue them, we used a lot of people, and the Daoye of Maoshan Sect also helped. Because the terrain in Tubo is special, many roads are blocked, and snow-capped mountains are difficult to cross, and there are only a few ancient roads.

They certainly did not go to the Western Regions by taking the ancient road, they could only wait this way to the sky."

Su Dawei glanced at the generals around him: "What do you think?"

On his left hand are Su Qingjie, Xue Rengui, An Wensheng, Lou Shide, Wang Xiaojie, and Cui Qi.

On the right side are Wang Fangyi, Asuna Momo, Cheng Wuting, Li Bian, Li Jinxing, Gao Chongwen and other generals.

In a corner of the camp, Li Bo and Wang Xuance were helping to be secretary and record the content of the meeting.

Su Dingfang died in the army, and Su Dawei, as the supreme commander of the Tang army here, naturally took over all command powers.

Su Dawei looked at Wang Fangyi: "General Wang should be more familiar with the terrain here in battles in Anxi over the years."

"The scout said it right just now."

Wang Fangyi pondered: "From Tubo to go to Anxi, there is only one who can walk an ancient road and cross the mountains. That road is the road we came here, and it is also the only way to connect Tubo and the Western Regions."

Su Dawei's eyes turned to the map, thinking in his mind, thinking for a while.

Confronting memory.

If you remember correctly, this ancient road is the only channel connecting the southern border of Tianshan Mountains and Tibet.

The border between the Central Plains and Asan in later generations was fought for, and Asan had always tried his best to penetrate the land of Aksaichen.

"Those weird things are naturally impossible to go east, because the road to the east is the direction of the Tang Dynasty, and this road is occupied by our Tang army, so it is difficult for them not to be discovered. Moreover, the more they go east, the stronger the Tang Dynasty will be."

Wang Fangyi continued: "If you go northwest and want to go to the Western Regions, there is only this road, and their whereabouts are easier to find. Moreover, when you go to this road, in the direction of the exit, Pei Daduhu has heavy troops in order to prevent Tubo, so it is difficult for them to get around."

Su Dawei nodded: "It is impossible to go east or northwest, so I can only continue to go southwest and enter India."

“That’s exactly that.”

Wang Fangyi continued: "There has been occupied by the Tubo people for many years and has been in operation. Only then can the remaining soldiers be rested. If we ignore it, it will take a few years for them to recover."

"Ha, it's impossible."

Su Qingjie sneered and clasped his fists to Su Dawei and said, "Please give me 10,000 people. I am willing to lead the troops myself and bring Tianzhu into the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Well?

Lion, what do you mean is to take down the land of A San?

This proposal made Su Dawei quite moved.

Who doesn’t like to expand territory?

If Su Dawei didn't love him, he wouldn't have been in a hurry to defeat the Japanese island back then.

Although there is far less than that in the Tang Dynasty and most areas have not yet been civilized, if you think about the historical books of later generations, if you record this conclusion: Su Dawei of the Tang Dynasty, captured the Kingdom of Japan and India.

Isn't it quite touching?

The only thing to consider now is how much manpower and resources are needed if you take over the situation.

Tianzhu was a completely unfamiliar land for Su Dawei and the Tang army.

"Maintain!"

While Su Dawei was thinking, someone stood up in the corner and crossed his hands to Su Dawei and said aloud: "If you want to conquer Tianzhu, how can you not use me?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw Wang Xuance, who was majestic, bearded and proud.

“Hahahaha~”

The generals in the tent couldn't help laughing.

It’s not a ridicule, but a feeling that this is arranged too cleverly.

When Wang Xuance was sent to India for the second time, he was attacked by India Aronashun, and the mission was killed and injured.

In a rage, he escaped from the death cell of the Indians.

But he did not return to the Tang Dynasty, but stomped his feet and went to Tubo to borrow troops.

I borrowed 1,200 cavalry from Tubo.
