Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 566

Songzhou border, Yanyun Fortress, two fortresses connected to Nawa on the top and Kalong on the bottom, like the previous Shang, Xiabazhai, and Yasong City, are three parallel fortresses. Behind this line of defense is the Jiangyuan Army's new base camp - Songzhou City.

Outside these three fortresses, there was a 30 Tubo army. Seeing that the same line of defense was blocking his troops, the Tubo coach Lu Dongzan felt his scalp tingling.In order to annihilate Su Dingfang's troops, he spent [-] troops to take down the first line of defense, but the result was still unsatisfactory. The remnants of the Tang army retreated calmly, and there was not even a hair left behind in a big fire.

Now there are more and more discussions in the army about withdrawing troops and returning to the country. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he deliberately killed more than 30 people to stop this evil trend.In fact, everyone's worries were not unreasonable. He himself did not expect that the crown prince Datang would be so capable of fighting, but now that the arrow has been shot, how can he turn his head back.

In addition to the reinforcements that arrived this morning, there was also a letter from Zanpu, the base camp of Sedi, ordering himself to conquer Songzhou within a month, which was too difficult.The city of Datang is not only extremely strong, but also the soldiers of the Tang army are even more crazy. In the last few days of fighting the Eight Villages, the soldiers of the Tang army jumped from the top of the city with fierce fire oil and died with our army. Death's combat style makes everyone's hearts terrified!

Hitting a small Songzhou is such a useless force. If you want to hit Chang'an City, even if you pull all the men, women, and children from the Tubo Kingdom, it will not be enough to die.It’s not unreasonable to go to the kingdom of heaven. Datang is too powerful. To be honest, Lu Dongzan really regrets it now. It’s too hasty. It should develop for a few more years before turning against Datang. The most authentic portrayal in my heart from this moment. .
At the same time that Lu Dongzan was having a headache, Li Chengqian, who came to Yanyun City to inspect the defense, was led by Su Dingfang to the main hall of the government office in the city.Sitting in the handsome seat, Li Chengqian glanced at Su Dingfang who was hesitant to speak, and the smile on his face became even stronger. He knew that the deputy chief executive Su was in a hurry.He was forced to fight for a hundred days, and less than 8000 troops were withdrawn. Su Lie had never fought such an embarrassing battle in his life. How can he not be angry?

"Dingfang, don't you look at Ludong Zanwohuo at the top of the city, and wish you could kill that guy now." Li Chengqian, holding a teacup, said with a smile.

"Prince, my commander, can you not be angry? When you think of the tragic situation of those brothers who died in front, you will end up unable to sleep all night. Although this is necessary to achieve strategic goals, but in this heart Don't give up." Su Dingfang gritted his teeth and squeezed the armrest of the chair with his hands.

"Don't worry, fighting is all about logistics. The Tubo people have to work far away, and their soldiers and supplies have to be brought in from the country. The more they fight, the more serious the loss of their national power is. The more they fight, the more demoralized their troops will be. Wait for Li Daliang , Qin Huaiyu and Qin Huaiyu are interspersed in place, we can close the net, and bear with it."

Of course Su Dingfang understood what Li Chengqian meant. The national strength of Tubo was incomparable to that of the Tang Dynasty. Their army was twice that of the Tang army, and their material consumption was also twice that of the Tang army. Now that the war has dragged on for so long, it is estimated that their logistics are also stretched.

The Tubo army is composed of soldiers from various tribes. The more losses there are, the more unfavorable it is for Songtsan Gampo's rule.Since Datang couldn't swallow Tubo in one gulp, it was the best way to pick up the plane and consume their active forces.These soldiers are not crops in the field, they can grow again next year after cutting them. Without the army, Songtsan Gampo would become a toothless tiger.

"Don't worry, Gu will keep his word. During the general offensive, Gu will let you serve as the former military commander."

Hehe, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely not disappoint you." Su Dingfang thought about the main force of the Jiangyuan army stationed in Songzhou, and couldn't help but feel happy.Being able to command so many troops to fight is the dream of any general. It is a blessing he has cultivated in eight lifetimes to catch up. It would be strange if he is not happy.

Just when the monarch and his ministers were chatting happily, Qi Wang Li You ran in with a smile. From the way he was wheezing and wheezing, it could be seen how anxious this kid was.If he was not in a hurry to speak, Li Chengqian handed him the teapot, motioning him to have a sip of water before talking.

Gudong, Gudong, after taking a few mouthfuls, Li You took out this chapter and a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Chengqian, then said excitedly: "Brother, Chang'an Mingzhao, the Crown Princess gave birth to a son ten days ago, father The emperor named him Li Xiang, and made him king of Zhongshan. Brother, you are now a father."

Ah, after hearing Li You's words, Li Chengqian quickly browsed through it. This chapter is the emperor's edict to all parties. In addition to talking about children in the family letter, he hopes that Li Chengqian can take care of himself and return to the court as soon as possible.The most important thing is a piece of white paper with small footprints on it. Needless to say, it must belong to his son. Li Chengqian looked at it and smiled contentedly.

"Congratulations, big brother, on the birth of a son!"

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on the birth of a son!"

After hearing the words of blessing from Li You and Su Dingfang, Li Chengqian, who had just become a father, regained his composure: "Okay, okay, fifth, Dingfang, pass on the commander-in-chief of Gu, and the soldiers will also be happy with the extra meals of the three armies. But If you are happy, you are happy, but you can't drink alcohol, and the troops guarding the city defense can't relax their vigilance. After the battle is over, I will reward them well."

On the way back to Songzhou City, Li Chengqian was in a good mood, and he stopped and stopped all the way to see everything that was pleasing to the eye.In the past few months, the pressure on his shoulders has been extremely huge, and he often can't sleep all night because of the war, because he knows that he can't afford to lose, and Datang can't afford to lose.

Tubo's ambitions are huge, and he has long had a heart to spy on the Central Plains. Like his brothers who are concerned about the throne, they will never give up until they achieve their goals.Now, taking advantage of the fact that their climate is still relatively small, and the national power of the Tang Dynasty is at its peak, if you don't start operations at this time, it will be the people of the Central Plains who will cry.And the birth of little Li Xiang gave him a shot in the arm, sweeping away his fatigue for many days, and walking lightly.

When Li Chengqian returned to the lobby of the Chinese Army, Li Daozong, Niu Jinda and other civil and military officials were waiting here. From the smiles on their faces, it could be seen that Li You had told them the news early in the morning.Alright, now that we've caught up, we have to treat him anyway, if we don't show any signs, then those who follow the fierce battle will be chilled.

After accepting everyone's congratulations, Li Chengqian raised his hand and said: "Okay, don't leave today, I will treat everyone to a good meal, but let me be clear first, there is no wine!".
