Chapter 542 Gao Chang’s Attitude

When we were less than twenty miles away from Gaochang Kingdom, the accident happened.

At that time, everyone was marching normally, but who knew that hundreds of cavalry appeared on the left side of the army...

"Pass my order, the whole army should not increase the protection of Mr. Zhao."

Su Dingfang is a person who came down from the battlefield. This kind of small scene doesn't matter to him. He still can't figure out who the other party is. He still has to have the state he should have. However, Su Dingfang feels that this trip is definitely not that safe. Gao Chang The country can take in Xue Yantuo Khan, which is obviously not the same as us.

Zhao Guangtai is a civil servant. Although he comes from the Tang Dynasty, he has never seen such a situation. He has long heard people say that after leaving Yumen Pass, you have to leave it to fate. Many people here are ready to draw their swords at every turn. .

People in Chang'an City have the misconception that we are from the Tang Dynasty. When we reach the borders of such a small foreign country, they will definitely not dare to do anything to us. However, Mr. Zhao came here in person and realized that it was a mistake. A place without a village or a store is the easiest place to start.

When he was less than 500 meters away from the army, Su Dingfang was about to order his men to start fighting. Unexpectedly, these hundreds of people quickly grabbed their horses, then turned around and ran north.

"Want to chase, sir?"

The soldiers under my command have been prepared. The distance is not very far now. As long as Su Dingfang gives the order, they are sure to catch up. We just observed that the enemy's horses are not on the same level as ours. If we really pursue, a Results will be seen within hours.

What's more, we also have sounding balloons. People in the sky can analyze the direction they are heading. In the Gobi Desert, we can also change the direction first to intercept them.

"These people are not important. The most important thing is to submit their credentials and order the brothers to continue to be on alert and send sentries around."

Su Dingfang shook his head. If this is the other party's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, then we will be fooled by the other party. Now we still have to continue to advance towards Gaochang Kingdom. They are just thieves. If they affect our progress, , it would be really embarrassing to say it.

"Don't be afraid, adults. These people shouldn't dare to attack us. They are just harassing us."

Su Dingfang rode up to Master Zhao's carriage.

"In the general's opinion, who are they?"

Zhao Yuantai said in shock that he had never seen such a posture in Chang'an City. Suddenly, a large number of people came from the right side. It seemed that they wanted to fight them desperately, but who knew that they ran back when they rushed to 500 meters.

"It's either the people of Xue Yantuo Khan or the people of Gaochang State. Now Gaochang State has not received our credentials. After receiving our credentials, it is estimated that they will start to be in trouble. If they follow what the credentials say, then They still have a good personal relationship with Xue Yantuo Khan, but if they don't do it, they will offend our Tang Dynasty, so I guess they want to cause trouble for us and make us retreat. As long as the credentials are not Just hand it over and they won’t have to do anything.”

Su Dingfang made a bold guess. Of course, this is just a guess. There is no way to verify where those people came from just now, so Su Dingfang is ready to go his own way. The more you don't let us go, we will go there in the next month to submit our credentials. .

"Will they really attack next?"

Zhao Yuantai said with some worry that he might have just given a warning, but if he saw that the Tang army continued to advance, they might actually attack.

"His Highness has said that I, the general, cannot look for trouble, but if someone bullies us, then we cannot be idle. We must let them know the power of the Tang Dynasty's military."

When he heard the word "attack", Su Dingfang's face immediately became interested. Your Highness indeed told you that, so we don't dare to do anything and treat ourselves like a little daughter-in-law. But if it were them If they really dare to attack, I will make them regret coming to this world.

When Zhao Yuantai saw Su Dingfang's expression, he immediately knew that he had asked the wrong question. As a civil servant of the imperial court, he did not want to make enemies everywhere, not to mention that the imperial treasury was already bottoming out. If there was another fight with Gao Changguo If so, then the status of the imperial military attachés will rise. Will they, civil servants, still have a chance to succeed?

In addition to the civil and military disputes, Mr. Zhao also supports Su Dingfang's idea. The Tang Dynasty is now the Celestial Kingdom. If they attack us and we don't fight back, it will really harm the Celestial Kingdom. With his reputation, after returning to Chang'an City, the emperor would not spare him even if he found out all this.

"General Su, please rest assured. All the officers in front of you should bear witness for you, but we should also strictly abide by His Highness the Grand Sun's teachings and never provoke a war easily."

Mr. Zhao's words made Su Dingfang very satisfied. As long as someone testifies for us, a lot of things will be easier to talk about. Su Dingfang immediately sent an order to get the entire army ready for battle.

Su Dingfang also explained to Mr. Zhao that when the opponent enters within the 200-meter range, we have to prepare to attack. It can be seen that the other party has intentions against us, and we must strike first.

This is a rule set by Li Xiang. Although Mr. Zhao doesn't know much about it, he also knows Li Xiang's rules by asking other soldiers. Since it is set by His Highness Taisun, Mr. Zhao will never block it, but he has repeatedly asked Su Dingfang to do it. You have to clearly see the 200-meter limit, but you must not reduce this distance. In the end, you still don’t want war to break out.

Because of what happened just now, the nerves in the team were obviously more tense than before. After walking for about half an hour, they could already see the border army of Gaochang State. At this moment, there were already soldiers standing there, but there were no No envoys from Gaochang Kingdom were found.

Mr. Zhao and Su Dingfang glanced at each other. Our guess just now was correct. Whether it was Xue Yantuo's Khan or Gao Changguo, they did not want the Tang Dynasty's credentials to be handed over. They would definitely create all kinds of troubles in the middle. , according to the previous agreement, the envoys from Gaochang State should have arrived at the border to greet them, but now no envoy flags have been found...

At this time, more than thirty cavalrymen from Gaochang Kingdom came over from the border.

Su Dingfang also brought more than 20 cavalrymen there, and the two sides wanted to complete their first conversation near the border...
