The Qianhu held the arrow in a daze and looked up at the clouds floating in the sky again.
He didn't understand the word 'technology', but he knew that the craftsmen of the Tang dynasty were very powerful.
The Tang dynasty had good tea leaves, good ironware, and exquisite silk.
They also had armor and Mo swords, and so many fertile lands.
Now that more powerful weapons had appeared, what would happen to his Tubo in the future?
The war was coming. The Tang dynasty had sent two Jiedushi soldiers and more than 10,000 Winged Knights.
"Commander Zasykuzé only brought less than 300 men back. We don't have enough soldiers to defeat the army of the Tang dynasty."
The Qianhu said what was on his mind, but he was shocked and quickly looked around.
His soldiers looked up at the clouds as if they didn't hear anything.
"Let's go to Guan Lin's house." The Qianhu didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to talk to someone from the Tang dynasty.
Now there was only one family in the tribe. They used to have a lot of people who were robbed and traded back during the exchange.
Guan Lin's family was making yak legs. There were a lot of tendons on the legs, so they shaved them off and mixed them with some herbal powder.
The rest of the meat was fried and eaten. They had a frying pan, which was secretly made by the captured Tang people in the past. It was made in their medicine shop.
The man was a blacksmith. When he was caught, his children were not with him. His wife went to his son's place to take care of his grandson.
He was delivering farming tools to others and was surrounded. He said that he knew how to farm, so he was caught to farm.
He did know how to farm. When he got sick, he was cured by Guan Lin.
He saw that Guan Lin's house didn't have any good iron tools, so he secretly made a few frying pans with a small hammer.
Guan Lin's family needed to get herbs, so there would be a commotion. The sound of his hammering was heard, so Guan Lin's family had a frying pan.
Because of the pressure of the plateau, they were mostly roasted and eaten raw.
When the Qianhu arrived, the family of six was eating. They were not nervous at all when they saw the Qianhu.
At first, they were afraid when someone came. They were always worried that the tunnel would be discovered.
"I followed the smell," the Qianhu said with a smile to Guan Lin's family who stood up to greet him.
Just now, the person who delivered the arrow to him was carrying a rabbit and a pheasant, which he shot to death with the arrow.
The two of them took a detour and were about to catch a pheasant when they encountered a rabbit.
The two of them used the arrows of the Yulin Flying Cavalry. Each of them shot one arrow and hit the target.
"Fu Qian, let's eat together." Guan Lin appeared to be very respectful. He was still hoping that the other party would let down his guard.
The old lady and Guan Lin's wife brought the children to clean up the rabbits and chickens. One yak leg was not enough for more people.
Qianhu was not polite. Old people and women should go to work.
He sat down with the people around him and skillfully picked up his chopsticks.
After eating two mouthfuls of meat, he asked Guan Lin, "The soldiers of the Tang dynasty are coming. What do you think?"
"My family ran away with Fu Qian. When I returned to the Tang dynasty, I was just a young doctor. My life couldn't be compared to here. My family here ate well and dressed well."
Guan Lin hurriedly stated his reason for not wanting to go back.
"Run? Do you think we can't defeat the army of the Tang dynasty? "Qianhu glared at him.
Guan Lin nodded. "No, we can't."
He lowered his voice again. "That guy, how many tens of thousands of people were there? He was the main force in the front line. After being defeated by the Tang dynasty, there were less than three hundred of them left.
He even fell sick and lost his weapons and horses. The morale of the Tang dynasty is at its peak.
When our people heard about the power of the Winged Knights, I saw that a few of them were worried.
Unless we tell Zangpu to let Princess Jincheng write a letter, otherwise … "
"Otherwise what?" Qianhu was unwilling to admit that his side's morale was low, but he did not refute.
"Otherwise, if I were a general of the Tang dynasty, I would let the cavalry kill cattle and sheep. While setting up a frontal formation, I would also attack and harass the enemy.
Two armies of more than two hundred thousand people can't be defeated in one day. The Tang dynasty also has hot air balloons to replace scouts. "
Guan Lin put himself in the shoes of a general of the Tang dynasty and killed cattle and sheep.
In fact, this was his plan. When the soldiers of the Tang dynasty attacked, he would hide well and come out to present his plan to the generals of the Tang dynasty.
Qianhu stared at Guan Lin in surprise. For the first time, this doctor actually understood war.
Yes, he was afraid of being attacked. Once the cattle and sheep were killed, the Military forces of the Tang dynasty would withdraw. When winter came, how would his tribe survive?
The weather was at its hottest, suitable for shearing yaks and sheep. The shorn hair could be made into tents and clothes to prepare for winter.
At the same time, the grass was the best in this season. The cattle and sheep would be able to give birth to calves.
In more than a month, the highland barley would be harvested. It was not suitable for war now. He did not know why Tubo chose this time to attack Hugestone City.
Qianhu complained that the timing of the attack was not right.
Indeed, in history, Tubo attacked in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.
Because the weather was warm and there was a leap month last year, the highland barley was harvested in the sixth month of the lunar calendar.
When there was food, they went out to fight.
In the seventh month, Guo Zhiyun led his troops to the war. At that time, there was no shortage of food, but the main force was defeated.
Now, due to the situation, they were forced to attack in advance. With the supply of food and fodder at the rear, the Military forces of the Tang dynasty followed closely.
What was destroyed was agriculture and animal husbandry, the foundation of survival in Tubo.
Qianhu closed his eyes and thought for a while. "In your opinion, the Tang dynasty wants to fight to a conclusion?"
"The Yellow River, the Yellow River basin. The Tang dynasty wants to occupy the Yellow River basin, the Sister Lake." Guan Lin actually analyzed the purpose of the Tang dynasty.
"Good. When the time comes, your family will follow me." Qianhu looked at Guan Lin. He was not only a doctor, but also knew strategy.
"Bring my family's medicine. In case someone is injured, I can treat him." Guan Lin reminded him again of his identity as a doctor.
"Yes, bring it. What else do you need to bring? Prepare everything." Qianhu nodded.
Guan Lin and his father understood that the Tubo people did not want to fight. Very good.
When the army of the Tang dynasty came, they would tell this important information to the generals of the Tang dynasty.
They did not want to live in Tubo. They wanted to go back. What did they eat here? What did they say?
When they went back, they could treat other people's illnesses and ask for more medical books and more medicinal materials.
Qianhu had made up his mind. It was not that he did not want to fight, but as long as there was a slight chance of winning, he would choose to stay.
How could he and the other tribes fight when the main force of the commander was reduced to such a number?
He began to eat the meat. When he was full, he wiped his mouth, patted Guan Lin's shoulder, and left with his people.
Guan Lin's wife, mother, and child came back with the meat.
"Guan Lin, how was it?" His wife asked softly.
"Tubo is scared. The weapons of the Tang dynasty are too strong." Guan Lin smiled.
His father gave the fried meat to his child first. "I want to see Li Dongzhu. Learn more medical books and show him the prescription that your mother and I developed. See if it works."
"Father, isn't that the skill passed down in our family?" Guan Lin asked. He knew several secret prescriptions.
"It's passed down to the country and the world. I heard that Li Dongzhu wrote hundreds of medical books. We have benefited a lot from the copies we got. Li Dongzhu is a great doctor."
Guan Lin's father sighed. He did not want to keep the secret prescriptions.
As long as the soldiers of the Tang dynasty really came, he was willing to contribute.
