Chapter 46 Huaimo was defeated, Songtsen Gampo, a man of great talent and strategy.
Swish, swish, swish...
With the ceremonial sword swung left and right, Wei Shuyu retreated repeatedly, sideways.
The situation has reversed!
Previously, it was Wei Shuyu who forced Cheng Huaimo to retreat repeatedly.
Now, however, Cheng Huaimo has forced them to retreat!
"Despicable and shameless!"
"Bastard, it's one thing to bully the weak, but to actually use weapons."
"Damn you, Cheng Huaimo! I'm going to have my father report to His Majesty and have you dismissed from your post!"
The friends were filled with righteous indignation and cursed.
"Brother, calm down, calm down."
From a distance, Cheng Huailiang was terrified and quickly called out to stop them.
If this gets out, his father will skin them alive.
However, Cheng Huaimo didn't care about anything else; today he was determined to chop Wei Shuyu up!
Wei Shuyu frowned, trying to find an opening to counterattack.
However, every inch longer, every inch stronger!
If he were the same size as Cheng Huaimo, he might still have a chance to fight back.
But he's only ten years old now, and he only reaches Cheng Huaimo's waist.
In a forced counterattack, you might get hit by the opponent before you even get a chance to strike.
Left with no other choice, they had to retreat repeatedly.
"Big monkey, thieving tiger." (Big brother, catch the axe!)
At the critical moment, Choi Shin-ki roared and threw the axe in his hand.
Snap.
He threw it too hard and it landed behind Cheng Huaimo.
Choi Shin-ki's lips twitched, and he looked up at the sky, appearing completely indifferent.
Wei Shuyu was too preoccupied with fighting Cui Shenji to pay any attention to him.
However, with weapons right in front of him, he definitely had to find a way to get them.
Swoosh.
Seizing the opportunity, he rolled around to get behind Cheng Huaimo.
He then picked up the axe again.
Then he raised his hand and blocked.
bite.
Swords and axes clashed!
Wei Shuyu was driven back, leaving a long scratch on the ground.
"A ceremonial sword is not a cleaver; you can't use it like that!"
Holding the axe, Wei Shuyu's entire demeanor changed.
Although he was not skilled in the eighteen ancient weapons, he was quite proficient in short weapons such as daggers and bayonets.
As for this small hand axe, to make it effective, you only need to embody one word: ferocious!
If you chop hard enough with your axe, even the King of Hell wouldn't dare to take you away!
Swish...
Wei Shuyu stepped forward and rushed forward.
What is considered inauspicious?
Faced with a variety of weapons, strike first and force the opponent to defend.
The ceremonial sword is long, and its strike is slow.
The hand axe is light and agile, and can be swung at lightning speed.
Bang.
Wei Shuyu swung his axe.
Cheng Huaimo blocked the attack.
Bang.
Wei Shuyu struck again.
Cheng Huaimo had no time to retaliate and could only parry again.
Bang bang bang...
Wei Shuyu, like a god of death, swung his axe repeatedly!
Moreover, with every swing of his axe, he would inevitably take a step forward!
When you are so fierce that your opponent is terrified and has no will to fight, that is when you win the battle!
Cheng Huaimo gritted his teeth and persevered, but after continuous blocking, the web between his thumb and forefinger was cracked.
But he couldn't afford not to defend; if he gave up, Wei Shuyu's axe would rip him open!
"ah!"
Unable to endure this frustrating battle any longer, Cheng Huaimo roared and swung his sword fiercely.
However, the result was tragic...
Wei Shuyu's slashing momentum was already established, with each wave stronger than the last.
Cheng Huaimo acted hastily!
With a bang, the ceremonial sword was knocked away and fell to the ground.
When Cheng Huaimo came to his senses, there was already an axe stuck in his chest.
"I……"
Cheng Huaimo was incredulous and wanted to say something, but Wei Shuyu didn't give him the chance.
Flipping the axe blade, Wei Shuyu used the back of the axe to strike Cheng Huaimo in the chest.
Bang.
Cheng Huaimo was knocked away.
He lay on the ground, vomiting large amounts of blood.
"elder brother……"
Cheng Huailiang hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
After confirming the injuries, he pointed at Wei Shuyu and shouted, "You knocked my brother's weapon away, why did you still use such force?"
The back of an axe, though not a blade, is similar to that of a hammer.
That blow to the chest must have been incredibly serious.
"If it weren't for Cheng Yaojin's sake, this axe blow wouldn't have been the back of the axe!"
Wei Shuyu dropped the axe, his face expressionless.
boom!
Did we win?
It was only then that the friends came to their senses.
A loud roar erupted, and everyone rushed to Wei Shuyu's side to flatter and cheer.
Then a few foul mouths couldn't help but start yelling again, making sarcastic remarks about Cheng Huaiyu and the others...
"So what if he's the son of a military general? He still can't beat my older brother."
"A bunch of trash, bullying the weak and using weapons, I look down on you."
"Go ahead and look at me, you son of a bitch. You want to come back? I'll show you how my older brother deals with you."
The bravado and boasting of the kids were just like the villains on TV.
"Get out of the way..."
Only after the battle was over did the 'late-arriving' yamen runner finally appear.
They even pretended to catch their breath a few times, as if to say that they had arrived as quickly as possible.
The Imperial Palace, Taiji Hall.
Li Shimin, dressed in a dragon robe, sat upright on the dragon throne, his face extremely majestic.
Below, civil and military officials held their tablets and waited respectfully for orders.
"I have just received news that Songtsen Gampo of Tibet is about to arrive in Tang Dynasty. What are your thoughts, my esteemed ministers?"
Li Shimin spoke with an air of authority, his face revealing no emotion.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations! Our Great Tang is strong and powerful, and its might is overwhelming. The mere Tubo has submitted. It is because they have foresight."
Changsun Wuji stepped forward and began to flatter him.
Then several more officials came out, saying similar things.
"Haha... Not bad, not bad!"
Li Shimin was overjoyed, and his laughter echoed throughout the Taiji Hall.
"His Majesty."
Seeing Li Shimin so carried away that he lost his bearings, Wei Zheng immediately stepped forward and began to pour cold water on his ambitions...
"Songtsen Gampo's purpose in coming here is not pure; I hope Your Majesty will not be careless."
Li Shimin's face immediately fell: "Does Minister Wei have other opinions?"
"I dare not offer my opinion, but judging from what Songtsen Gampo has done in the past few years, it is clear how vast his ambition is!" Wei Zheng bowed.
"Wei Zheng, stop exaggerating. Our great Tang Dynasty, with a million soldiers at its feet, do we really need to guard against a seventeen-year-old kid?"
Changsun Wuji immediately retorted.
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin nodded in agreement, feeling that Wei Zheng was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"A seventeen-year-old kid?" Wei Zheng sneered. "If you had studied what he did, you wouldn't have said that!"
"Your Majesty, Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne at the age of twelve. He was a generous and talented man, and was admired by many Tibetan soldiers."
"Wen, he loves Tibetan folk songs, excels in poetry, and is knowledgeable in crafts and calendrical calculations..."
"Wu, he is exceptionally brave and skilled in martial arts, possessing many talents and techniques..."
"How can the Tang Dynasty underestimate such a person who is skilled in both literature and martial arts?"
"If that's not enough, then what he's accomplished in the past five years can be described as a display of extraordinary talent and ambition!"
"In the year he became the Zanpu (king), rebellions broke out in various places. Yangtong in western Tibet, the enemy state of Supi, and the old nobles joined forces to attack him. What did he do?"
"The first thing he did was to find out who murdered his father and purge the hostile forces within the court!"
"To quell external threats, he first secured internal stability; his actions showed no sign of panic!"
"After the situation stabilized, a twelve-year-old boy personally crossed the Yarlung Tsangpo River to inspect the Kyichu River Valley region, where he was welcomed and supported by the nobles and commoners of Lhasa. The people of Pengyu region presented him with tribute and expressed their loyalty to him, and the northern region was consolidated."
"After the internal situation was stable, Songtsen Gampo began to recruit and train soldiers. He also lowered his status to befriend the lower and middle nobles, went deep into the countryside to inquire about the people's hardships, and generously rewarded his soldiers."
"After three years, when his army was highly elite, he finally showed his fangs and began to quell the rebellion!"
"Those old nobles were no match for his army."
"From then on, the fragmented Tibet was once again unified by him!"
"Just this year, he sent his prime minister, Shang Nang, to conquer Supi. According to his spies, he has successfully persuaded Supi to surrender!"
"Furthermore, he has also begun planning to relocate the capital. Judging from the geographical location, his goal is to unify the plateau!"
"May I ask you all, how can we not treat such a brilliant and ambitious monarch with utmost care?"
"May I ask you all again, throughout history, which young monarch of his age has achieved such a record?"
After Wei Zheng's explanation, all the officials were shocked.
If that's true, Songtsen Gampo's abilities are truly terrifying.
Even in the 12-17 age group, Li Shimin was inferior to his opponent...
