- Chapter 35 An unforgettable oath
At noon that day, Du He met Zhu Huo.
Zhu Huo has recovered under the treatment. He changed into a Tang suit and looked a little elegant. When he saw Du He, his eyes were full of surprise and disbelief. He looked at him for a long time and then said: "Are you Du He, General Du?"
Du He saw that Huo Wang's eyes were a little surprised, and he didn't speak. He listened to his question and laughed: "I am Duhe like a fake bag."
"That's great" Zhu Huo jumped up happily.
Facing Tubo¡¯s strong attack, Yaochi could only struggle to support itself and had no power to fight back. She didn't know how long she could support it.
Although the Tang Dynasty said it had formed an alliance with the Shang Shung Kingdom, it is still unclear whether it would send troops to save the Shang Shung Kingdom. Trapped in such a forbidden area, Yaochi could only rely on Du He, an acquaintance. Yaochi's original intention was to ask Du He for help, but Zhu Huo was accidentally captured, and unexpectedly received Zhang Liang's blessing with Li Yifeng's rescue.
Zhang Liang knew the importance of Zhu Huo's existence and rejected Zhu Huo's idea of ??going north to Chang'an. He completely protected him and sent an urgent messenger to deliver the news.
Zhu Huo also lost the opportunity to find Du He because of this. Seeing that he could not complete the task, he was secretly anxious. Unexpectedly, Du He appeared in front of him as the commander-in-chief of the three armies and asked to see him. Du He's youth made Zhu Huo look surprised, but he soon became excited and said: "I am the envoy of Xiangxiong Kingdom, sent by Princess Yaochi. She asked me to come to you, hoping that you can save her. Xiangxiong Kingdom.¡±
Du He nodded and responded: "You can rest assured about this. I brought hundreds of thousands of troops to Qinghai not for fun. Rescue of your Xiangxiong Kingdom is our first priority. But as for Tibet and the current situation, I don't have any confidence. I know you too well, and I still need your cooperation. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles, do you understand?"
"Understood! Just ask, General. I promise to answer all questions and tell you everything you know!" Zhu Huo is willing to risk his own life to ask for help. He is also a loyal person. When he talks about business, he looks serious.
For the next nearly three hours, Zhu Huo kept talking, just like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, telling everything he knew.
Du He not only wanted to know how to cross the mountains to reach Zhangxiong, but also wanted to know the current situation of Zhangxiong Country before leaving.
When did Songtsen Gampo launch his attack, and what tactics he used to destroy the main force of Xiangxiong Kingdom, under what circumstances did Yaochi receive the order in danger, and what tactics he used to block the Tibetan army.
Du He listened attentively and did not show any impatience. From time to time, he would also inquire carefully about some details. Hearing Yaochi's tactics to face the enemy, his eyes couldn't help but light up. The tactics used by Yaochi turned out to be to open up the frontier and move the people of Xiangxiong Kingdom to the inside of Pingdu Mountain Pass. All the things that could not be taken away from the outer mountain pass were destroyed, not even a single house was left. Not a single person is left for Tibet, nor is there a grain of food left for Tibet. Then they defended Pingdu Mountain Pass and took advantage of the natural location to fight a war of attrition with Tubo.
He nodded approvingly and understood clearly in his heart. No wonder Xiangxiong Kingdom was able to persist for a year and a half. The clearing strategy was the only excellent strategy to deal with the Tibetan offensive.
"If he were Yaochi, under the same situation and unable to defeat him, he would still fight this battle by clearing the territory and clearing up the wilderness.
"Okay, you have a rest first and have a drink of water. I'll have someone take you out. At the same time, I can assure you that I will do my best to keep you safe in Xiangxiong."
Zhu Huo said happily: "Thank you so much, General" He is just a small person, and Du He has no need or obligation to explain to him. But Du He did it, which was enough to show that he was sincere. He had something in mind and hesitated to speak.
Seeing Zhu Huo turn around, Du He thought for a moment and asked: "Yaochidoes your princess have a husband now?"
When these words came out of his mouth, he felt a little embarrassed. If you ask this question, anyone with a brain will understand that the relationship between them is extraordinary.
Instead of being surprised, Zhu Huo said happily: "When I came here, the princess told me secretly that if she saw the general and asked her if she had a husband, he would tell him that she had not forgotten her agreement. If If the general doesn¡¯t ask, then he won¡¯t say anything.¡±
Du He's heart sank, and he recalled the vow he made back then, "I'm leaving, please take care of yourself. I will remember you, and I don't know how much I like you, but as long as I don't forget you, I won't Get married."
She still remembers this oath, which means she has not forgotten herself.
She didn¡¯t let Zhu Huo speak first because she didn¡¯t want to disturb her life.
My sweetheart already has family affairs. If he really doesn't care about her, then it won't be a burden to him.
Du He has a headache. He is very satisfied with his current life.??Men are born with a colorful heart, and it is difficult to avoid it even if you want to. This matter between men and women is just like what the poem says, if it is constantly cut, it will remain chaotic.
¡°Forget it, don¡¯t think about it.
Du He nodded and asked Zhu Huo to go down and rest.
He sorted out the information he had obtained in his account and decided to leave tomorrow night.
" Saving people is like putting out fires. The sooner the better. However, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he has just arrived in Qinghai. If he wants to leave, he must explain everything and arrange all the funeral arrangements before he can escape.
It took a day to entrust the affairs of General Du He to Zhang Liang, and also asked Niu Jinda, Liu Lan, and Xue Rengui to assist him.
Before Du He came, he had already learned about the abilities of his generals from Li Shimin. Zhang Liang was ranked sixteenth on the list of heroes in Lingyan Pavilion, and his deeds go without saying. Niu Jinda and Liu Lan have no reputation in history, but they are both wise and brave generals who can guard one side. With them in charge of Qinghai, Du He can leave with peace of mind.
The key to plateau climate is air. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is much higher than the Central Plains, and the air is thin. Therefore, most people who have adapted to the climate of the Central Plains will experience abnormal discomfort when they come to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. However, Du He has internal strength and a long breath. His body's demand for air is far lower than that of ordinary people. The plateau climate has no impact on him.
It took five days, day and night, to avoid crowds along the way, and arrived at the cliff pointed by Zhu Huo. Looking at the towering cliffs, Du He could not but sigh secretly at the wonder of the Creator. The cliff in front of us is almost 500 meters high, which is equivalent to a thirty-story building. The peaks are so steep that there is almost no place to stay. It is indeed not something that ordinary people can climb.
Even in the 21st century with high technology, it is extremely difficult to climb with the power of hands and feet, let alone ancient times.
¡°It¡¯s already a miracle that Zhu Huo can climb down from above.
Du He came to an unknown big tree, hid on the treetop, ate some dried beef he brought with him, leaned against the tree trunk, and closed his eyes to rest.
Facing this kind of cliff, even Du He, who possesses Qinggong skills, does not dare to act rashly. He must cultivate himself well before he can give it a try.
After taking a nap for an hour, Du He woke up on time and quickly climbed up the rock.
The north wind is blowing.
Du He used all his strength, relying on light skills and the convenience of his hands and feet, to climb this peak that is difficult for ordinary people to climb.
He looked down from the top, exhaled a long breath, took out the compass, determined the direction, and continued on his way.
¡°This place is surrounded by trees and bushes. It was Du He¡¯s first time here, so he could only rely on the direction and Zhu Huo¡¯s description to find the specific seat.
Zhu Huo said that it took him ten days to reach the cliff from the Xiangxiong Army Camp at Pingdu Pass. Du He's footsteps were much faster than Zhu Huo's and he hurried on. It was estimated that he would be able to reach the vicinity of Xiangxiong's camp in three or four days.
He was thinking in his mind, but his steps never stopped.
After walking for a day and a night, Du He suddenly stopped, his nose shrugged, and he took a few deep breaths. In addition to the pungent cold air, there was also a faint smell of meat, which was the smell of barbecue.
Are we already approaching the Xiang Shung *** camp?
Impossible, not that fast.
Like a monkey, he climbed up a big tree and jumped from tree to tree, smelling the fragrance and looking for it.
The wind on the plateau was strong, and the rustling and rubbing sounds of the leaves were constant. Du He was not afraid of others noticing, just like a bird growing wings, and moving as fast as a civet cat, he came close. Looking down from the tree, he found that the other party was a small team composed of more than sixty people.
They were dressed differently, and the security guards were lax. Some were napping, some were roasting game, and more than a dozen people gathered around to gamble and shout happily.
When Du He heard their shouts, he couldn't help but frown. Their shouts were clearly in Chinese.
In this world where the culture of the Tang Dynasty spreads, foreign nobles are proud to know the etiquette and words of the Tang Dynasty. Even ordinary people can speak some simple Chinese. It is not strange to be able to speak Chinese. But it is impossible for them to regard Chinese as their mother tongue.
When chatting and gambling, Chinese is the main language.
Du He took a closer look at their appearance and found that although these people were dressed like Tibetans from the southwest, their appearance and features were almost the same as those from the Central Plains. While observing, Du He noticed that their weapons were of various kinds, including long swords, short swords, two-handed swords, long knives, short knives, double knives, as well as sticks, forks, halberds and other weapons, each of which was different and varied. All are top quality.
"They are not soldiers, but people in the martial arts world"
Du He thought to himself, soldiers don¡¯t use miscellaneous weapons.It is impossible to equip high-grade weapons with weapons. Only Jianghu people meet their standards.
Who are they working for, Xiangxiong or Tubo?
Du He made a brief analysis to find out the answer. They were working for Tubo. If he was playing for Sang Hung, there would be no reason to be here.
?Looking at their stature, they are all thin and short. These people tend to be flexible characters. They should have climbed up from places that are impossible for ordinary people to climb, just like themselves.
¡°What can they do with just these few people?
Du He was suspicious, and suddenly realized something in his heart.
At this moment, one of the people walked towards him.
Du He was startled at first. Fortunately, he saw the man unbuttoning his pants as he walked, and then he realized what the other person was going to do. He hurriedly hid aside and smiled. - Didn't finish reading?
