Li Yu entered the tent and found Xue Rengui frowning.
The beard under his chin looked like it had not been cleaned for a long time, and his overall state was not right. The last time I saw him, Xue Rengui was in high spirits. Although he had traveled a long distance, he did not show signs of fatigue.
Li Yu knew how terrifying a top military general was in the Six Dynasties.
Xue Rengui may not be as good as Ma Chao or Zhao Yun, but he is definitely not an ordinary person. The fact that Tubo can force him to this point can only mean one thing, the Tang Dynasty did not give him many trump cards.
Seeing this, Li Yu already had some calculations in his mind. Li Shimin's general did not have much confidence in this battle.
He is also waiting for reinforcements from Tang Dynasty
Without reinforcements, Xue Rengui knew that he would most likely lose. Tubo was not a small country, and there was a behemoth like the Jokhang Temple behind it.
The Jokhang Temple has dominated the plateau for so many years and has a very solid foundation. The people of this land and water have supported them for hundreds of years.
During these hundreds of years, countless tribes became their slaves, devoting all their strength and even their flesh and blood to them.
Looting and exploiting are always shortcuts to accumulation, which makes the Jokhang Temple comparable to some thousand-year-old sects.
The national strength of Tubo was not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, but they were fighting at home and on a plateau. Moreover, they were fighting a defensive battle with the strength of the whole country, while the Tang Dynasty only sent one army. Xue Rengui was not the most powerful person in the Tang Dynasty.
A powerful general, his troops were not the most elite in the Tang Dynasty, but the Tubo people fought tooth and nail and spent all their wealth to fight this battle.
Li Yu was a military novice, but he also knew that if he wanted to conquer a big country like Tubo, at least three groups of people should support each other and advance together. Not only should they support each other, they could also mobilize the enemy at critical moments.
troops.
Xue Rengui's group, which is at most a sideline based on their strength, is now responsible for all offensive tasks, and is isolated and helpless.
Hearing someone coming in, Xue Rengui looked up and was startled when he saw Li Yu and Song Jiang walking in together.
"Why are the Taoist priests here?"
Li Yu chuckled and said: "Our Central Plains soldiers and horses are fighting with the Tibetans here. As a person from the Six Dynasties, how can we just sit idly by and do nothing? I am here to offer my modest efforts."
Xue Rengui was even more surprised. He knew that although Li Yu and Datang seemed to be very good on the surface, and the Emperor of Tang even granted him several imperial edicts, they knew very well inside that this upright Taoist was someone his Majesty hated.
He teased His Majesty several times and took away many things from the Tang Dynasty that should not have been taken away. In fact, speaking of Li Yu, Li Yu was unfair enough. You are allowed to have Li Shimin cheat on you, but you are not allowed to cheat on him?
From Li Yu's point of view, he always fought back after being persecuted. Besides, although Maoling is in the Tang Dynasty, it is the tomb of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. What does it have to do with you? It is Liu Beilai who really makes the settlement.
.As for the Queen’s Disaster, that’s even more outrageous. Originally, you, Li Shimin, wanted me to remove the Queen’s Disaster. I helped you remove it and you weren’t allowed to take away the Human Emperor’s Qi.
If you know what I'm confused about, then how many of your descendants will Wu Zetian kill in the future? Especially those who are close to Li Shimin and can threaten Wu Zetian's status will be slaughtered by her like dogs. Moreover, her methods are extremely cruel, and many of them are related to her.
Relatives, two of the emperor's grandchildren were beaten to death by her with a whip.
Although Xue Rengui was in dire straits and was eager for reinforcements, and Li Yu could be regarded as a strong reinforcement, he was filled with doubts and secretly decided to ask Chang'an for instructions first.
Li Yu didn't need the Tang Dynasty to recognize him. He didn't come here to open up territory for the Tang army, he came here for the Stone People.
As long as he destroys the stone man, he will be done. When the time comes, he will leave, otherwise he will really worry about being plotted by the Tang army.
On the contrary, Li Bai was very excited. After entering the barracks, he felt that every drop of his blood was boiling.
He looked around, curious about everything, and soon attracted the attention of the Tang generals in the tent.
All the soldiers stared at this stupid young man, with some doubts in their hearts. Could this guy be here to spy on information?
Xue Rengui rolled his eyes and said: "Since the Taoist priest is from Bianliang, let's live in Songjiang's camp first."
Li Yu nodded. This method had the best of both worlds. He didn't want to get into trouble. He searched for the stone man wholeheartedly in the Songjiang camp and then crushed this bastard.
At critical moments, you can also ask Song Heizi for help. Many of the prisoners in his prison camp are quite capable.
Li Yu followed Song Jiang back to the camp. On the way, Song Jiang kept telling some interesting stories about the war, such as Zhao Yun breaking through the barrier, Adou meeting a ghost, Yu Jin being nicknamed mute without saying a word, and Wang Zhen being hacked for his arrogance.
How can the Shenji camp shine after losing its head?
Li Yu suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Brother Gongming, do you know where the stone man is?"
Song Jiang was obviously a little scared. He laughed dryly, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Li Yu, it's hard for me to interfere in this matter."
Li Yu expressed his understanding and said with a smile: "Brother Gongming has his own difficulties. I, Li Yu, am not the one who forces others to suffer. However, since my brother is a human being in the next generation, it will be difficult for us all if the world is in chaos. I will say this, I don't care about this stone man.
Whatever the background is, I’m sure of it.”
Song Jiang looked at Li Yu's back with bright eyes. After a moment, he smiled and followed him silently.
Li Yu arrived at the camp, found a tent at random, and lived in it with Li Bai.
After he entered, he immediately ordered: "I have something to do as a teacher. You should talk to the Song people in the camp more and don't cause trouble."
Li Bai nodded and said, "Master, don't worry."
Li Yu glanced at him with a smile, then looked down at his sword and said, "When I return to Bianliang, I will definitely get you a good sword."
Li Bai laughed, put the sword in his waist, sat on the floor and began to look at his own meridians as Li Yu taught him.
Li Yu left a clone in place, and then his real body disappeared and came to the sky above the military camp.
Damichuan was like a colosseum, and Li Yu had already noticed several terrifying forces.
The Tibetan Tantric Sect had a grudge against him and was one of his great enemies. Li Yu ruined the Tantric Sect's plan to plunder the human emperor's energy and killed dozens of their masters.
With the Tantric style, it was impossible for them to swallow their anger, but Li Yu was not afraid at all.
He released his spiritual consciousness and carefully searched every piece of land, looking for the breath of the stone man.
After searching around, Li Yu found nothing, but he was not discouraged. According to Zhao Yun, this stone man will swallow the death energy on the battlefield after the battle, and that's when it will reveal itself.
Li Yu began to wait patiently. He was in the air, silently waiting for the next battle.
