Yi Fusheng brought Xue Rengui to the south. There were only about a hundred people following them, and they were all riding horses at an extremely fast speed. In a short period of time, they had already left Yizhou and went south to Shazhou to the border of Tibet.
There were checkpoints set up by the army at the border of Tibet.
It was to prevent any surprise attacks.
Yi Fusheng brought Xue Rengui and the rest to the border. When they were about to enter Tibet, they were discovered by the Tibetan soldiers stationed at the border. There were only about a hundred soldiers stationed at the border checkpoint, and they were there to act as early warning. Once a battle broke out, they would send the soldiers back to report as fast as possible.
The Tibetan general in charge of the checkpoint was called Jin Babu.
When he saw Yi Fusheng and the rest coming, he ordered, "Halt!"
Yi Fusheng urged his horse to stand still. He looked at Jin Babu and said in a deep voice, "This official is the special envoy of the Pacifying West King. I've been ordered to go to Tibet to discuss some important matters with the Tsar of Tibet, Prang Songzan."
Jin Babu reprimanded, "I'm Jin Babu, a Tibetan general stationed at the border. If you want to see Tsar, you have to wait for his reply. Now, all of you are to wait here for me to send someone back to report the news. "
When Yi Fusheng heard this, he frowned and said, "If you want to send someone back to report the news, that's your business. I'm going to Tibet, so I won't stop here. I'll immediately bring people to the capital of Tibet. When I arrive, Tsar will already know the news. This is a matter that can't be delayed. "
"Impossible!"
Jin Babu flatly refused and said in a deep voice, "If you want to enter Tibet, you have to wait. If Tsar doesn't want to see you, then all of you will return the way you came. If he wants to see you, then you will enter Tibet. "
Yi Fusheng squinted his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He came to Tibet not to ask for peace, nor to express his goodwill. He came to show his strength and blackmail Prang Songzan.
Therefore, he wouldn't act according to common sense.
Yi Fusheng said, "Jin Babu, I'm just informing you. If you want to stop my army, don't blame me for attacking. "
Jin Babu raised his head and didn't budge. He said in a domineering manner, "If you dare to attack, I'll kill you."
"Formation!"
Jin Babu ordered loudly.
Along with Jin Babu's orders, the hundred odd Tibetan soldiers at the border immediately got into formation. Each of them held a saber in their hands and were ready to fight at any time.
Yi Fusheng said, "Jin Babu, I will count to three. If you dare to stop me again, I will immediately charge over. Now that Lang Ri Songzan was about to die, the thoughts of the Tubo royal family and the old nobles who had submitted to them started to waver. I'd like to see if Lang Ri Songzan dares to start a war with the Tang dynasty after killing your men. "
"One!"
Yi Fusheng said.
As he spoke, a grave expression appeared on Jin Babu's face. As a general stationed at the border, he naturally knew about Lang Ri Songzan's physical condition.
This was especially true for Tibet, where undercurrents were surging. Jin Babu understood this very well. However, he was secretly glad that he wasn't in the capital and didn't have to get involved in these struggles for power.
Jin Babu's family was also a big family in Tubo, and many of them were high-ranking officials.
That was why he knew all this information.
However, Jin Babu didn't say anything when he heard Yi Fusheng's words. Because he couldn't let them go right away. What if the other party was just a facade? As for whether Lang Ri Songzan would hold him responsible if he let them go?
In short, Jin Babu had to hold them off first before he thought about what to do next.
Whether he could hold them off or not, he had a reason to say something. If he could hold them off, he would stop Yi Fusheng's momentum and defeat the momentum of the Tang army. If he couldn't hold them off, even if the country wanted to hold him responsible, Jin Babu would have a reason to say something.
Jin Babu said, "Yi Fusheng, even if you threaten me. But I, Jin Babu, can't stand threats the most. If you want to threaten me, then you have found the wrong person. "
Yi Fusheng didn't answer. He said again, "Two!"
When he counted to two, Xue Rengui and the hundred odd elite cavalry behind him all unsheathed their sabers and prepared for battle.
The hundred odd soldiers led by Xue Rengui were the most elite cavalry on the battlefield. One of them could fight against ten. Originally, when Yi Fusheng went on the diplomatic mission, he thought that he only needed to bring a dozen cavalrymen. However, Xue Rengui insisted on bringing more than a hundred cavalrymen because they could both attack and defend. Even if something happened, they could quickly respond.
When Liu Zhengxi went to Yi Zhou, it was because Yi Zhou lacked the will to resist. In addition, the distance was close. Du Qi could react at any time at the border. However, it was different in Tibet. The situation was more complicated.
He needed to bring more soldiers.
The atmosphere at the border became serious because of the confrontation between the two sides.
Yi Fusheng saw that Jin Babu was still unmoved. He didn't hesitate anymore and ordered, "Kill!"
"Kill!"
Xue Rengui held his spear and charged out.
More than a hundred elite cavalry followed closely behind. Especially these elite cavalry, each one of them was strong. They were the strongest cavalry in the army. Each one of them could fight against ten people.
They followed Xue Rengui and charged out. Their killing intent was vast and mighty.
Xue Rengui was at the front. However, Xue Rengui wasn't very old. He only had a bit of hair on his lips, and there wasn't any beard. When Jin Babu saw his appearance, he sneered and said, "A half-grown child wants to be my enemy? You really think you're infallible. Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish. "
"Go!"
Jin Babu gave the order to attack.
In Jin Babu's heart, he wasn't afraid at all. Especially when he saw Xue Rengui's appearance. Jin Babu looked down on Xue Rengui even more.
Jin Babu urged his horse and charged out. He held a long saber in his hand and charged towards Xue Rengui.
The two of them were facing each other.
In the blink of an eye, they met.
"Kid, give me your life!"
Jin Babu roared. He raised his saber and was about to slash down.
Xue Rengui didn't say a word. He shook the great spear in his hand. The long spear shot out like a venomous snake. The tip of the spear pierced towards Jin Babu's heart. The speed of the spear was extremely fast. One could only see a streak of light and shadow in the air. One couldn't see where the tip of the spear was.
An inch longer, an inch stronger.
An inch shorter, an inch more dangerous.
Xue Rengui's great spear was about three meters long. When the spear pierced out, Jin Babu's saber slashed down. However, before the saber could reach Xue Rengui, the spear was already in front of his chest.
Jin Babu had no choice but to block with his saber. He slashed down with his saber. With a clang, the saber collided with the spear.
In an instant, the spear moved downwards.
After blocking with his saber, Jin Babu's eyes sharpened. He exerted strength in his hands and prepared to slash out again. However, just as he was about to attack, the great spear thrusted out again and pierced towards Jin Babu's heart.
The speed of the spear made it impossible for Jin Babu to attack again. He could only raise his saber to block again. When Jin Babu's saber was about to slash down, Xue Rengui's spear suddenly changed direction in the air.
The great spear turned and swept out horizontally.
"Not good. It's a feint."
The expression on Jin Babu's face suddenly changed. The saber that he used to block the attack stopped in its tracks, and he quickly raised his guard. At the same time, Xue Rengui's long spear swept over from the left like a stick.
Jin Babu couldn't fight back at this moment. He could only raise his spear in front of him to block.
Xue Rengui's speed was simply too fast.
He couldn't see clearly.
He couldn't make a prediction.
"Clang!"
The great spear and Jin Babu's saber collided. A deafening sound was clearly heard.
Xue Rengui was unmoved.
The expression on Jin Babu's face suddenly changed. The reason for that was because when this attack swept over, he only felt a vast amount of power. It was as if the sky was collapsing, as if a flood was pouring down, as if a wave was crashing down. Under the earth-shattering impact, Jin Babu screamed miserably, and his body was sent flying from the horse's back.
