Chapter 311
Close the door and beat the dog, this move is also very dangerous.

It is easy to ask the gods to give up the valley voluntarily. If the Tubo army occupies the Dadou Valley, it is tantamount to giving up the strategic initiative to Tubo.

Then Tubo can take the same initiative and continuously attack the land of Hexi as it occupied Dangjin Pass before.

So Yu Chixin is also betting, he is betting that Shang Qixin'er will never be reconciled to just occupying the exit of Dadouba Valley, and he will definitely continue to lead the army to attack Zhangye or Wuwei.

Obviously, Yu Chixin won the bet.

After occupying Dadouba Valley, Gar immediately sent someone to report to Shan Qixin'er in the rear.

And Shang Qixin'er, who received the wooden slips, also resisted all opinions, insisting that the army should overcome the great battle and continue to fight Datang.

At the military meeting to overturn the big fight and pull the valley, Shang Qixin'er's subordinates advised one after another:

"The great theory of wisdom and martial arts, as long as we can occupy Dadou Bagu, we can continue to send troops to attack Datang like before, and cut open the blood vessels of Datang to let blood. Why must we continue to fight?"

Obviously, the defeat of Dang Jinshankou and Dai Ze had made these Tubo chiefs lose their confidence in fighting.

If he can control the big fight and pull the valley, and control a stable passage through Qilian Mountain, this battle will not be too bad.

Although the subordinates are urging Shang Qixin'er to return to Tianzhu City.

But Shang Qixin resolutely said: "Longyou is getting stronger day by day, don't you see it?"

The ten thousand commanders and thousand commanders who were present were silent.

Since King Jianning went to Longyou, the development of the whole Longyou has been booming.

In the past, the Tubo army could plunder the Tang Dynasty when they came out of the Jinshan Pass, and even attacked the villages of the Tang Dynasty, and captured the Han people in a village as slaves.

And the Tang army in Guazhou, Shazhou, only dared to come out and put on a show, and never dared to take the initiative to fight with the Tubo army.

But everything changed after King Jianning arrived in Longyou.

When did this start?
Everyone began to think, was it the battle at Jinshan Pass?

No, from earlier times.

The strength of the Tang people made Shang Qi feel scared.

Every time the Tubo merchants returned from the Tang Dynasty, they would bring new commodities. No matter they were nobles or ordinary people, they had no resistance to the commodities from the Tang Dynasty.

Although Shang Qixin didn't understand the principle of the trading post, he also knew that if it continued, there would be less and less gold and silver in Tubo.

Even some castle owners in the border areas have begun to sell their livestock in exchange for goods from the Tang people.

In addition to economic penetration, the combat effectiveness of Datang's army is also rapidly improving.

The former Doulu Moli army only dared to rely on the city to resist the Tubo army.

But the current Datang army has dared to fight the Tibetans in the wild.

Not to mention that they also have terrible weapons such as artillery explosives and grenades.

The Great Tang cavalry that once shocked the Western Regions has also been re-established. The BMWs of the Western Regions ridden by those Tang knights are astronomical sums of money.

Shang Qi felt vaguely in her heart that Tubo was completely behind Datang.

And this gap is still widening.

If the millions of Han Chinese in Longyou were really given time to recuperate, how would the Tubo host alone resist?

You must know that Tubo is a system where all the people are soldiers, and the Tubo host has gathered [-] troops!

Now that 1 people have been buried, Shang Qixin is like a gambler who has already entered the gambling table and lost his chips.

He had to keep gambling, because if he left now, he wouldn't even be able to get on the gambling table in the future.

Shang Qixin'er relied on her prestige to overwhelm her subordinates, and after the whole army crossed the Dadouba Valley, they joined forces with Gar's forward army.

Now Shang Qixin'er puts the second choice in front of her.

Where are you going to fight?

The rangers sent by Gal reported that the Tang army had retreated back to Zhangye and Wuwei City, and even the barracks at Qilian Mountain Pass had been dismantled.

"The Tang people are short of troops, so they can only retreat to the city. This battle is our last chance to tear apart Hexi!" Shang Qixin'er said at the military meeting.

Gar stepped forward and said, "Dalun, Wuwei City has just been besieged not long ago, and the city defenses have been ruined. Now is the best opportunity to attack Wuwei City."

Garr didn't say a word, that is, Dai Ze had just returned from a big defeat at Wuwei City, and he was also the most familiar with the city defense of Wuwei City. Obviously, continuing to attack Wuwei City would be the least costly.

Dai Ze gave Gal a vicious look, Wuwei City was his sore spot, and Gar's proposal to attack Wuwei City again was tantamount to slapping him in the face.

Shang Qixin didn't comment, but at this time another ten thousand head, Winter Marang, stood up and said:
"Dalun, my subordinates think Zhangye should be attacked first."

Everyone looked at Dongri Marang.

Dadouba Valley is located between Zhangye and Wuwei City, and the distance from Dadouba Valley to attack the two cities is about the same.

Whether it is to attack Wuwei or Zhangye, it is a reasonable proposal.

In winter, Malang glanced at Dai and said, "Dalun, my subordinates think it's inappropriate to attack Wuwei."

"Why is this?"

"Wuwei City is adjacent to Shuozhou and Lingzhou in the Tang Dynasty. These places are the heartlands of the Tang Dynasty to suppress the rebellion. If Wuwei City is attacked again, Tang Ting will probably support Wuwei. If the entire Tang Ting is drawn into the war, we will be passive. .”

The Tang court mentioned here is naturally the Tang court in Fengxiang Mansion.

"Wuwei's position is dangerous, and it is definitely not a place Tang Ting is willing to give up easily. Without Zanpu's support, attacking Wuwei will be playing with fire."

After Dongri Marang finished speaking, all the soldiers nodded.

Even Shang Qixin nodded slightly.

One of the main premise of his plan to plot Longyou is actually to cooperate with the Tang Dynasty's strategy of abandoning Longyou.

Tubo has a deep connection with the Tang Dynasty. The rise of Tubo is the biggest foreign invasion of the Tang Dynasty, and Tubo has envoys stationed in the Tang court all year round.

Unlike Uighur and other vassal states, Tubo also attached great importance to collecting information about the Tang Dynasty, and even paid a lot of money to buy important officials of the Tang Dynasty to formulate plans beneficial to Tubo.

In fact, before the Anlushan Rebellion, because of the huge military expenditure in Longyou and the high cost of maintaining the rule, the Tang court had proposed many times that the Tang Dynasty should relocate the prefectures and counties in Longyou and return to the mainland, completely abandoning the Western Regions.

This is also the reason why Shang Qixin'er dared to harass Longyou with the power of the Tubo host.

Longyou was an abandoned son of the Tang court, and even after the Anlushan rebellion, the Tang court simply drained Longyou's army, which was tantamount to abandoning Longyou in fact.

But Wuwei City is different.

The Hexi Corridor can be lost, but Wuwei City cannot be lost.

Wuwei City is adjacent to Lingwu in the south, which is Datang's first line against the grassland going south.

Xisaihexi, if Longyou is really lost, relying on the dangerous position of Wuwei City, it can block the enemies coming from the Western Regions.

It is connected to Hehuang in the north, and the Hehuang Valley is rich and rich. It is the remaining horse farm of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a wedge inserted into the territory of Tubo.

The Han people have opened up the Hehuang Valley since the Northern Dynasties, and it is by no means abandoned as in the Western Regions.

So Dongri Malang is right. If Wuwei is attacked again, it may attract the attention of the Tang court and thus intervene in the overall war.

On Shang Qixin'er's side, the bird envoy sent to report to Chisong Dezan has not yet returned, and Shang Qixin'er is not sure that he will drag the whole Tubo into the water.

In winter, Ma Lang saw that the big tent had become quiet, so he glanced at Dai Ze secretly, and then said:

"Now the Tang Army in Longyou has less than [-] people in total, and they must divide their troops to defend Wuwei City. As long as we attack Zhangye quickly, we will definitely be able to take Zhangye City in one fell swoop!"

"As long as Zhangye City is captured, the strategy of cutting off Longyou will be achieved. When the time comes to invite the Zanpuxing army to attack Longyou, Tang Ting can only admit this result."

This sentence reached Shang Qixin'er's heart, with the power of the Tubo host, there was nothing he could do to face King Jianning.

What he wanted was a victory, and he used this victory as a bait to make Tubo Zanpu swallow the bait.

As long as Zanpu sent troops to Longyou, the army in King Jianning's hands could not resist at all.

After occupying Longyou, the Tubo East Road, which is the closest to Longyou, will surely get the biggest cake.

That's why Shang Qixin was so angry at Dai Ze's defeat, because Dai Ze's defeat almost made him lose the opportunity to attack Hexi.

But fortunately, Datang failed to hold on to Da Dou Ba Gu, which gave Shang Qi Xin'er one last chance.

Shang Qi Xin'er looked at Dong Ri Ma Lang and said:

"We still should attack Zhangye. Taking Zhangye will cut off Hexi. As long as Zanpu sends troops, Tang Ting will definitely abandon Long!"

"When the time comes, King Jianning will be alone and helpless, and he can only wait to die!"

"Wuwei City should not be fought for the time being, so as not to cause Tang Ting's counterattack."

All the generals expressed their "big opinions" one after another!
After unifying her thoughts, Shang Qi Xin'er said to Dai Ze again:
"Dai Ze, I will give you another chance to redeem your merits. I will give you 5000 troops to guard the Dadou Valley and leave a way for our army to retreat."

Dai was overjoyed when he heard the mission.

After experiencing the defeat of Wuwei, he never wanted to face Tang Jun again.

Staying here to guard the retreat is obviously the safest task.

The camp of Dadouba Valley is in the valley not far from the canyon. It is backed by the river and the rest of the valley, and the terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack.

And Tang Jun left a complete camp, which was much more comfortable than traveling long distances to attack Zhangye.

Hearing Shang Qixin'er's order, all the generals present secretly glanced at Dai Ze.

When they saw the smile on Dai Ze's face, although the faces of all the generals present remained unchanged, they were even more disapproving of Dai Ze in their hearts.

Shang Qixin'er continued: "Gar, you lead the headquarters in the rear. If the defenders of Wuwei City go out to support Zhangye, you are responsible for intercepting them on the road."

"Winter Marang, you are the vanguard, plundering the Tang people along the way to use as military resources. Capture some Tang slaves and use them as slaves for attacking the city."

Following Shang Qixin'er's order after order, the entire Tubo army moved.

At the same time, the player Zhang Wu is leading a team, and under the leadership of the mountaineering player Lin Jianguo, they climbed over the Qilian Mountains from the narrow path.
