    Songtsen Gampo's calculation was very clear. Borrowing troops would bring benefits to the Tang Dynasty, so he readily agreed. He defied all opinions and borrowed 50,000 troops and prepared food and fodder.  The Princess of Tubo was very angry. Songtsen Gampo went to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage, but was rejected. She thought that the praising of Gampo would be over, but unexpectedly, there was a borrowing of troops.  When the Tang Dynasty finishes the war, it will definitely be grateful to Tibet for its friendship. When Songtsan Gampo proposes marriage again, the Tang Dynasty will have no reason to refuse and will definitely agree.  How much does it cost to send 50,000 troops and provide your own food and grass?  "Gampo, you can't borrow troops. What if the Tang Dynasty uses our soldiers to bite us back?" Princess Tubo tried to persuade her. Although her natal family in Nepal was indeed not good to her husband, she did not want to occupy Tubo.  I just get some benefits from Tubo every year.  Songtsan Gampo said with a smile on his face: "How can the princess say that? The Tang Dynasty is the Khan of Heaven, with a vast territory and rich people. Now the Tang Dynasty needs my help from Tibet, how can I stand by and watch. Once we do this this time  If you don¡¯t help the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will not take care of Tubo in the future. This king is doing this for the sake of the country and the country. The princess should stop talking about it. "It's a joke. These soldiers are Tibetan soldiers, and the generals are also Tibetan generals. They won't.  They are biting back against Tibet; besides, the little food and grass are not worth much, and the amount of money and food they are plundered by Nepal every year is more than this.  Rather than feeding an undercooked wolf, it is better to feed it to a tiger.  The tiger felt happy and helped him fight the wolves.  The Princess of Tubo couldn't persuade her, so she quickly wrote to her parents' family to find a solution.  Three days later, 50,000 Tibetan soldiers, led by Tibetan general Zaha, met with Cheng Yaojin and Li Ji's 5,000 light cavalry, and the army set off.  "Don't tell me. It went really well this time. Not only did we borrow soldiers, but they also brought their own food and grass. It's commendable for their sincerity! But isn't Songtsen Gampo a bit stupid?" Cheng Yaojin sighed, this Tubo dry thing  Bu is not bad, he is a good junior.  After hearing this, Li Ji shook his head and said: "Haha, don't underestimate anyone. Songtsen Gampo is so smart! When Tubo asked for his hand in marriage, the Tang Dynasty agreed. But they brought their own food and fodder.  After the battle, if we don¡¯t give some of the captives and cattle to the Tibetans, we in the Tang Dynasty will think that we are too mean. Besides, we can¡¯t just give them the necessary amount of food and grass.¡±  "Oh, it turns out that he had this idea. This kid is a monkey." Cheng Yaojin laughed and scolded, "I didn't see it, he looked honest and honest. His mind was so quick." "He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen.  Gradually unified the fragmented Tubo, created Tubo writing, and conquered most of the forces in the country. Can such a person be a fool?" Li Ji chuckled disdainfully, if he didn't want Cheng Yaojin to come over and make a fool of himself, he would still  I really don¡¯t want to go the same way with this guy.  But whether such a person is good or not, whether the Cheng Yaojin family goes out to fight or holds military power in the capital, Your Majesty will not be suspicious.  "That's right, there will still be some blood. It doesn't matter if we give them the cattle and sheep. The captives are ours. In the future, we will go to labor reform, build bridges, open up wasteland and pave the way." Cheng Yaojin understood clearly that the population of the Tang Dynasty was  Urgently needed now.  "You are right. The military report has been sent. Your Majesty will probably arrange it this way after receiving it." Li Ji said in a deep voice.  Liu Muxiang took good care of Changsun Chong, which was much more comfortable than the last time he sent troops to fight.  "Young Master, why do you think Tuyuhun is against the Tang Dynasty? Isn't our Tang Dynasty treating them badly?" Liu Muxiang asked.  Although Liu Muxiang is very good at martial arts, she is slightly lacking in some strategic aspects.  Changsun Chong drank a cup of tea brought by Liu Muxiang and said happily: "In the final analysis, it is still a relationship of interest. Fu Yun followed the plan of his minister King Tianzhu and attacked Tang Kuo and Lanzhou, making Hexi the throat of Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions.  The corridor is threatened. There are countless caravans traveling between Datang and the Western Regions every year. As long as you control this place, you will control the transportation hub and obtain a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, as well as the fertile land there. Your Majesty has sent many prisoners to open up wasteland.  , it has become very prosperous, and Tuyuhun looks at it with greed, and of course he wants to get involved. But the Hexi Corridor is very important to the Tang Dynasty, and it cannot be grabbed by Tuyuhun. Such a thing must not happen. " "Oh,  That¡¯s it, I think this time¡¯s deployment of troops is no less than the last attack on the Eastern Turks,¡± Liu Muxiang said with emotion.  Changsun Chong nodded and said: "Tuyuhun is also quite cunning. He has already sent Zuo Xiaowei General Duan Zhixuan to attack with his army. Tuyuhun fled far away with his troops, but his main force was not scattered. But it is not without merit. At least it accelerated Tuyuhun's attack.  Internal division. When winter came, they resumed their looting nature, and the crisis in Liangzhou forced him to order a large-scale attack again.?.  Several routes were concurrent, but His Majesty still appointed Li Jing, the right servant who was known as the undefeated God of War, as the general commander of the march to the West Sea Road. He was in charge of Hou Junji, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Daozong, the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Li Daliang, the governor of Liangzhou, Li Daoyan, the governor of Minzhou, and Lizhou.  The governor Gao Zengsheng and other military commanders, as well as the Eastern Turks and Qi Heli troops who returned to the Tang Dynasty, attacked Tuyuhun.  " "It's really a big deal!  "Liu Muxiang sighed. "Haha, that's not all. We also borrowed troops from Tubo. At that time, we just happened to intercept the Tuyuhun soldiers who fled west and south. Tuyuhun was doomed this time.  " Changsun Chong said with a smile, this Li Er is actually quite cruel. He either doesn't hit, but hits the seven inches. Liu Muxiang listened, nodded and said: "Young Master, we have to pass through a desert ahead, we have to  Be extra careful.  Changsun Chong nodded and said, "The desert is really scary. Without water, it means death."  Pack more water, preferably three water bags per person.  " "Since you have a big bucket, there is no need to carry so much water on your body, right?  Liu Muxiang asked. Changsun Chong shook his head and said: "If we encounter sandstorms in the desert and damage the water tank, then the water in the water bag will be our life-saving water!"  " "Okay, I think what you said before, be prepared.  "Liu Muxiang went down and asked people to talk more. Some of the soldiers were still confused and wanted to do something unnecessary. However, under Liu Muxiang's strict request, they had no choice but to do it. Changsun Chong asked people to adjust the compass, prepare everything, and asked  I asked Hua Wu about the recent weather, whether there are sandstorms, tornadoes, etc. Hua Wu replied: "There has been no strong wind on this route in the past five days, so go ahead with confidence.  " On the first day of entering the desert, Changsun Chong always felt uneasy. He took Liu Muxiang to check it from beginning to end, and found no problems before going back to rest. " The next day, he had been traveling all day, but he  Realizing that the angle of the sun today was wrong, Changsun Chong immediately realized that the position of the sun would not change, only their marching route would change. Logically speaking, it should not be like this. Changsun rushed to check the guide car, and it turned out that it was in the guide car.  Some fine black powder was found in the cracks of the car. Why was it stuck to the guide car? Changsun Chong pinched some of it, and the powder scattered between his fingers stuck back to the guide car.  Magnetic powder?  "Changsun Chong was angry. No wonder he felt that the path was a little wrong. The compass was affected by magnetic powder, so it couldn't point in the right direction. Liu Muxiang saw that Changsun Chong looked wrong and said, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?  " "Keep your voice down, we are going in the wrong direction, there is something wrong with our compass.  "Chang Sun Chong said softly, it was fine yesterday, but it is not right today, then there must be a traitor in this team. Liu Muxiang was a little scared, and whispered: "Ms.  , maybe there is an ambush behind.  " Changsun Chong also thought the same way, nodded and said: "You go to the front to take a look first and think of a solution.  " After Liu Muxiang passed, Changsun Chong quickly called for the apocalyptic space, but he couldn't practice Hua Wu. Changsun Chong was anxious, what should he do now? Looking at the sky, the master decided not to stay where he was. There are still three days to go,  What should we do? "Muxiang, we are going in the wrong direction, and we should be getting further and further away from our destination.  " Changsun Chong affirmed, the worry in his eyes becoming more and more obvious. Liu Muxiang felt cold and said, "Mr. Sir, I will quickly ask someone to fill the sleeping bag with water.  This person can do tricks on the compass without anyone noticing, so it is not difficult to get close to the water source.  " "Well, what you said is, go quickly!  "Chang Sun Chong was worried. How could he not be able to contact the apocalyptic space when he entered the desert! Liu Muxiang arranged for people to pack water, eat dry food, and rest next to the camel. Chang Sun Chong contacted the apocalyptic space again. Fortunately, he  This time I contacted Hua Wu. ¡°Brother Hua Wu, our guide car has been tampered with. Can you help us find a way to change it to the correct direction without alerting the traitor?  Changsun Chong asked angrily. Hua Wu was startled and said: "Guaigua, it turns out that the direction is very wrong."  Following this direction, you will encounter a sandstorm tomorrow afternoon.  " Changsun Chong was so frightened that he was covered in sweat. Fortunately, he contacted Hua Wu. If there was a sandstorm, it wouldn't matter. The food and grass were gone, and the frontline army had no food. Changsun Chong would not be able to atone for his sins until he died. "  Brother Hua Wu, please think of a way. I can¡¯t contact you during the day.  "Changsun Chong said anxiously. In this vast desert, he didn't know what to do.??How to do it.  Hua Wu thought for a moment and said, "I'll get you some more magnetic powder and put it on the compass car. The current angle won't change, but it can lead you to the right route." "Then please, give it to me quickly.  " Changsun Chong said.  "It's better for me to go directly to the top. There is a traitor among you. If you go there, you will only alert the enemy." Hua Wu suggested that this is the safest way.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
