Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 721 Chapter 740: The late Xu Jingzong
At this moment, Fan Lihua's army has started again, marching towards Luoxie City, and is still looting along the way. Those tribes who have not had time to migrate to Luoxie City have suffered catastrophe again. The food, cattle and sheep carried by the Tang army have already It's too much to eat. It's estimated that I can't finish it in the first half of the year.

Every day, tribes flock to Luoxie City, and the population of Luoxie City is rising every day, reaching 80. However, the reported food makes Garqin Mausoleum worry. Until this moment, he finally discovered the origin of the Tang people. plan.

"The people of Tang are so cunning!" Garqin Ling gritted his teeth and groaned angrily after hearing the report from his subordinates. Keep them out, otherwise these tribes will rebel first without the Tang army coming to attack. However, when these tribes enter the city, the food in the city is obviously not enough. A person has 80 mouths, and according to the current population growth trend, it seems that it is not a dream to increase to 80 million. Now the Garqin Mausoleum is one head and two big, and it is a conspiracy of the Tang people. In fact, what kind of conspiracy is this? A trick secretly carried out without others knowing is similar to a shameless trick of a sneak attack, and this trick of Li Hao and Fan Lihua is on the bright side, even if Gar Qinling knows their intentions, there is nothing they can do about it. This is a conspiracy.

The Tang army has approached Luoxie City, and stationed troops on the south side of a lake in the north of Luoxie City. It is only more than 100 miles away from Luoxie City. The lake more than ten miles north of Luoxie City is called Namtso Lake. Camp, no longer move forward, because Fan Lihua began to implement the next policy, consuming words.

Since ancient times, in wars, the biggest headache for the attackers is the problem of food and grass. It is better to fight quickly, otherwise the supply of food and grass will become a problem. Hats, cotton gloves are all available, and they practice in the cold wind every day, so as to become proficient in the cold weather and plateau climate as soon as possible. The altitude here in Luoxi City is not too high, only 3500 meters. Tang Jun stayed in Tanggula Mountain Pass for nearly a month. For such an altitude, it means that the pressure is not great.

Tang Jun had already arrived at the gate of the house, and Garqin Mausoleum was naturally anxious. He really wanted to send troops to take the initiative to attack Tang Jun, but he was afraid of being tricked by Tang Jun. How much he hoped that Tang Jun would come to attack some cities. The defense of the city can defeat the Tang army, but the Tang army has been training troops by the Namtso Lake, and has no intention of attacking at all. They fight and don't fight, and they don't retreat. It's really torture to spend time with him like this.

At the same time, a team of 50 people walked to the end of the cement road and came to the place where Li Hao's caravan was. Fifty cavalry escorted a carriage. After seeing Li Hao's caravan, they wanted to approach it, but However, he was stopped by a hundred Qinghai Guards. Li Hao is the chief commander of the march. These Qinghai Guards are responsible for protecting Li Hao's safety. How could they allow a group of people with weapons to approach? who!"

The carriage stopped, and a middle-aged man with a white face and long beard got out of the carriage and said loudly: "I am Xu Jingzong, the military supervisor of the Tubo army in the Tang Dynasty, may I ask you, are you under the command of Li Hao, the chief commander of the army?"

"Exactly!" The captain of the Qinghai Guard Cavalry softened his attitude a little when he heard that the other party was the Superintendent, but he had already maintained a vigilant attitude, and asked loudly, "You said that you are the Superviser of the Chinese Army, but do you have the official document and seal of the Ministry of War? "

"Here are the official documents and seals of the Ministry of War." As soon as Xu Jingzong finished speaking, his personal attendants came forward with the official documents and seals in their hands, and came to Qinghai Wei, asking them to check the official documents and seals.

After careful inspection, the captain of the Qinghai Guards cavalry said loudly: "Wait a minute, I will report to the chief!" After he said that, he glanced at a cavalry next to him, and the cavalry turned his horse and ran back.

Li Hao was looking at the map in the car, when he heard someone report that the supervisor Xu Jingzong had arrived, Li Hao couldn't help laughing, took two portable oxygen bags, opened the door and walked out of the car, saying: "Take him to the dental office." See me in the tent." After speaking, he went to Yazhang, followed by Lu Yun and two accompanying special forces.

Soon, Xu Jingzong was brought to the dental tent, Li Hao put down the oxygen mask, spread his hands and said with a smile: "Master Xu is here, please sit down."

When Xu Jingzong saw Li Hao's pale face and purple lips, he was stunned for a moment, and didn't say much. He bowed his hands and sat down as he said.

As soon as his butt touched the cushion, Xu Jingzong asked: "General Li, as the general manager of the army, you have the right to command an army of [-], and what Xu saw right now is only a hundred cavalry, may I ask... Where did the [-] troops go?"

Li Hao chuckled when he heard the words, and said: "We have already confronted the Tubo people in front, and the garrison is now at the shore of Namtso Lake."

Xu Jingzong frowned when he heard the words, and said coldly: "General Li, as the chief officer of the march, why don't you go with the army? If you are not in the army, who is leading the army at this moment?"

Li Haodao: "My king is suddenly ill and unable to lead the army, but the military affairs cannot be delayed. The person who leads the army right now is Fan Lihua, the deputy chief of the army."

Xu Jingzong frowned again when he heard the words, and said in an innocuous way: "General Li, what you have done...is not legal. The [-] army, without the permission of the court, how can you transfer it to others without permission. General Li, you have exceeded your authority. gone."

"Hahaha..." Li Hao knew that he would say this, so he was not afraid at all, and said with a smile, "Xu Jianjun is a civil servant after all, and he really knows nothing about military affairs. He is on the march, and the situation is ever-changing. People are not as good as God." , Who would have thought that the king would suddenly fall ill? If according to Xu Jianjun's statement, everything must be consulted with the imperial court, and it will be more than a month after the messenger comes and goes. He has already missed the opportunity to conquer Tubo. "

Xu Jingzong was teased face-to-face by him for being incomprehensible in military affairs, his face flushed, and he said uncontrollably: "It is true what General Li said is true, but General Li passed on the military power privately without asking the court for instructions. This is a big taboo!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "The emperor appointed me as the chief of the army, so I have the right to control the army. The appointment and dismissal of any position in the army is up to the decision of the king. Fan Lihua is the deputy chief of the army. Quan, the manager let her lead the army, how can she overstep the authority? How can she break the taboo? Xu Jianjun must be alarmist."

Xu Jingzong was silent for a while when he heard the words, and his eyes rolled continuously. He also knew that it might be impossible to catch Li Hao based on this matter, so he smiled coyly, nodded and said: "It makes sense to hear what General Li said. , Xu is too serious."

Li Hao said with a half-smile, "It's good that Xu Jianjun sees it through."

Xu Jingzong picked up his teacup and drank a glass of water, but it was actually cold. He was not happy to treat him with cold water in such a cold weather. This trip was already very frustrating, but it was even worse when he came here, so He chuckled, and said with something in his words: "General Li is really fast, my army supervisor has not yet arrived, and your army is almost here."

"I have to ask Xu Jianjun yourself." Li Hao said with a smile, "Xu Jianjun is moving so slowly, is he deliberately delaying the time and delaying the opportunity?"

Xu Jingzong originally wanted to blame him for not waiting for him, but he didn't expect Li Hao to beat him up. He immediately stared and exclaimed: "General Li, please be careful!"

Seeing this, Li Hao waved his hands and smiled: "Xu Jianjun is too serious, just kidding, don't take it so seriously, take it easy, take it easy, I won't impeach you, just kidding, just kidding, hehe..."

Seeing Li Hao's appearance, Xu Jingzong was so angry that his heart twitched. He had heard that Li Hao's words and deeds were extremely rogue, but he didn't expect to be so angry. Thinking about how he came here in fear, there were only 50 guards along the way. , he felt aggrieved. Now that he came here, he would be angered by Li Hao, and he was even more aggrieved. If he hadn't thought deeply enough, he might have been aggrieved to the point of tears at this moment.

Although Xu Jingzong has a city mansion, his status is too low after all. Even if he became a supervisor, he would not dare to be arrogant with Li Hao. When talking with Li Hao, he was suppressed everywhere and was very angry. After chatting for a while, he found An excuse to leave the tooth tent, so as not to be angry again.

Li Hao watched him walk out of the tent with a smile on his face, and when he heard the footsteps going away, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a stern expression. Xu Jingzong was a member of the Wu Zhou Party in history, and it is probably the same in this era. At least from his performance just now, it can be seen that he and himself can't urinate in the same pot, not to mention that he is the supervisor recommended by Changsun Wuji, so Li Hao naturally doesn't like him.

Xu Jingzong stayed with Li Hao overnight, and set off for Tanggula Mountain early the next morning. After all, he was the supervisor of the army, and he had to go wherever the army was. Li Hao delayed here because of his illness. If you are sick, you must go after the army.

Since there was no concrete road ahead and the road was not smooth, Xu Jingzong abandoned his carriage and rode on horseback, which would make the journey much faster. On the second day, when he arrived at the Tanggula Pass, he saw three Tibetan monks holding prayer buckets from a distance. come face to face.
