Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 358 Step-by-step planning

Question: Who was the worst in the war between Tubo and Tang Dynasty?Answer: Various tribes and alien races at the border of the two countries.

Although Tubo's attack on Datang was planned by Chisang Yangdun, it officially launched an attack on Datang in August.

But in fact, around June, the vanguard led by Lu Dongzan had already started to suppress the surrounding aliens.

Well, the foreign races in the entire southeastern region, except for the Tuoba clan of Dangxiang Qiang, basically all the large and small forces that stood in front of Tubo were flattened by Tubo.

The main reason is that the Tuoba clan is the strongest of the Dangxiang Qiang people today, and it is rumored that they are related to the Xianbei Tuoba clan.

I don't know if there is, but at least Tubo couldn't eat them all at once, so he let them evacuate with the remnants of the party.

Otherwise, the party item in history would have been wiped out like Dongnvguo and Bailanqiang, and there would be no chance for it to rise later.

The Pansong selected by Tubo is probably located in Pansong County, which is just south of the Huanglong Jiuzhai Airport in Sichuan.

This is an important gateway to the Northwest. The territory is high and steep, with many peaks and peaks, gradually expanding from the southeast valley to the northwest grassland. For Tubo, they can give full play to their advantages, especially the grazing cattle and sheep accompanying the army can graze here.

At this moment, the Tubo flag has not stopped after defeating the Jimizhou County on the border of the Tang Dynasty, especially the Dangxiang Qiang. Instead, it continues to march towards the territory of the Tang Dynasty. For the first time, the Tubo flag is planted in the Tang Dynasty. on the continent.

"Zan Xiruo, now we have entered the border of Tang Dynasty, be careful on the road ahead!" Lu Dongzan carefully told his young son.

"Father, don't worry, I will be by your side and I won't run around!" Zhanxiruoduobu replied earnestly.

Lu Dongzan nodded when he heard his son's serious answer, then observed the surrounding environment, and said to Asuka Bing seriously, "Let Qianhu continue to explore the way forward, especially the cliffs on both sides, don't slack off!"

Hearing this, the flying bird soldiers immediately began to convey Lu Dongzan's order. The Tubo army sent two thousand households to follow the mountain range and began to explore the surrounding environment of the mountain range, so as to ensure that their army would not encounter any danger on the way.

To be honest, the army encountered danger on the way forward, and for many people, it was impossible to form an army formation at all. Most of the good generals might be swept up by these soldiers, and then they didn't know how to escape.

"The hillside is so steep, and we came so quickly, how could anyone be here!" Zan Xiruo said.

But as soon as Zan Xiruo's words fell, there was a commotion in the mountain forest, but I saw two Qianhu who went up the mountain to investigate, and were baptized by Tang Jun's arrow rain at this time!
Zan Xiruo blushed and was about to say something, but Lu Dongzan said, "Don't be distracted, the enemy we are going to face is Datang!"

As soon as the words fell, a large number of soldiers of the Tang Army rushed out of the mountains on both sides, and they rushed down the hillside.

For a moment, the shouts were continuous and deafening, and the ferocity of this momentum made people's hearts jump.

But facing the situation in front of him, Lu Dongzan did not panic at all.

I saw him centered on him, and a halo of light was cleared away. A stern girl riding a patterned tiger appeared from Lu Dongzan's back, and a burst of cold air from the spine to the brain rushed straight to every Tubo warrior. mind.

In an instant, the panicked Tubo soldiers calmed down immediately.

"Blessing from Goddess Danma!" Zan Xiruo looked at the light circle under his father's feet, and couldn't help showing envy from the bottom of his heart.

Han Wei, the commander of the Tang army who is attacking at this moment, and the soldiers of the Tang army originally wanted to use the geographical advantage to launch a sneak attack, but they were discovered by the Tubo army, so they had to launch an attack in advance.

Originally, he also planned to rush into the Tubo army to fight, at least causing chaos.

But his own army had just rushed into the Tubo army, and as soon as he raised the Tang Dao, the Tubo army recovered from the chaos, and even became inexplicably calm, which made Han Wei feel toothache,
"Warrior talent!"

Thank goodness, He Dehe Neng himself was able to face monsters with such abilities.

How many people in the entire Tang Dynasty have the talent of war generals, at least they are at the level of the general manager of the marching road.

Is the governor of a small border town worthy of following a monster in line? ?

Han Wei complained a lot in his heart, but the rhythm of commanding the army from offense to defense was not slow.

Fortunately, this small area is not suitable for the Tubo army to fight, but even so, the calmness of the Tubo army in the face of the Tang army's attack made Han Wei decisively make up his mind.

Let your lieutenant lead some people to continue to block, while you choose to lead the large troops to withdraw decisively.

This time the opponent has exceeded the upper limit that he can deal with!
"This Tang army is nothing more than that!" Zan Xiruo looked a little complacent as he watched his Tubo army defeat the remaining Tang army. In his opinion, the legendary Great Tang didn't seem very strong. what!

"No, they are very strong!" Lu Dongzan saw that Tang Jun did not choose to surrender, but chose to fight to the last man, said,
"Clearly knowing that staying is going to die, but they still chose to stay, not even a single person chose to surrender.

Do you think any tribe in our Tubo can do this?

No!We can only win because of the number of people! "

Lu Dongzan looked at the situation in front of him and murmured, "If the next Tang army is all such people, this war will be difficult!"

In fact, although Han Wei chose to cut his tail to survive after losing the battle, he didn't waste this wasted time.

Resolutely continue to repair the defense system at Huangshengguan. Once Huangshengguan is broken, the whole Songpan is really safe to defend.

And the opponent is the owner of the war department's talent, no matter how I think highly of them, it's not too much.

At the same time, he immediately wrote to Li Shimin for help, after all, he really couldn't beat this opponent.

To be honest, Han Wei originally thought that Tubo would attack Huang Shengguan crazily after coming here and occupy Fang Songpan completely.

But in fact, before the Tubo army came to Huangsheng Pass, not only did they not take the initiative to launch an attack, but they also sent envoys to Han Wei and said:
"Our Zanpu once said that if the princess does not come, I will go deep. Now I, Tubo, once again ask the Tang Dynasty to Shang the princess, and hope that the Tang emperor can take the diplomatic relations between the two countries as the center, and don't let the princess cause the loss of life!"

To be honest, Han Wei, like Princess Shang, didn't believe it.

In the Tubo army, there are people who can show the talents of warriors, and Han Wei understands that Tubo has a lot of ambition.

After all, I, who is a captain, can't awaken the talent of a warrior, but someone in the Tubo army on the opposite side can awaken it.

This is a treasure that can only appear in a nation that has not lost its spirit.

In any case, this matter cannot be handled by oneself.

Han Wei wrote his experience into the memorial, and then sent the Tubo envoy to Chang'an.

Not fighting for a period of time is a good thing for me, and I can have more time to strengthen Huang Shengguan.

The Tubo envoys headed towards Chang'an, but Han Wei's report was rushed through eight hundred miles, and the information was sent to Li Shimin immediately. After reading it, Li Shimin sneered and said:

"It's just a barbarian country, how dare you touch my Tang tiger's whiskers!"

"Sage Qi, let me lead the Tang army, teach this barbarian effect a lesson, let it know how powerful my Tang is!"

At this time, Hou Junji was the minister of the Ministry of War, and he was the first to stand up and speak.

Following Hou Junji's words, the generals jumped out one after another. Relatively speaking, the generals of the Zhenguan Dynasty were not afraid of anyone in battle.

The most important thing is that Li Shimin himself is the one who can fight the most. Even if the military gods like Li Jing have come to an end safely, what else do I have to worry about? If there is a battle, it is better to accumulate merits. It must be the main battle. what!

As for the civil servants, at this time, they didn't jump out and say no, let the princess and relatives seek peace.

Still the same sentence, the princess is also a more precious resource for Datang. Basically, the betrothed is to those powerful countries that surrender to Datang.

At least Tubo had to express its surrender first, and at the same time, it had the strength that Datang could not underestimate. It was an important force for stabilizing the southwest, so Datang would choose to marry and remotely control Tubo to ensure the stability of the surrounding environment of Datang.

"Hou Junji, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is the general manager of Dangmi Road, the crown prince is the supervisor of the army, the right-leading general Zhi Shili is the general manager of Bai Lan Dao, the left Wuwei general Niu Jinda is the general manager of Kuo Shui Dao, and the left-leading general Liu Lan is the general manager. Chief of the Taohe Road Marching Army, supervise and ride [-] troops to attack them!"

Hearing this, Crown Prince Li Chengqian couldn't help being taken aback, he never thought that Li Shimin would let him be the supervisor of the army!
And Kong Yingda immediately came out and said, "The prince is a rich man, how can he easily go to the dangerous place of war!"

When Li Shimin heard what Kong Yingda said, he didn't say much, instead he said to Li Chengqian,
"Chengqian, Qingque intercepted and killed Murong Fuyun at the age of 16. Now that you are old, I wonder if you can go to Songzhou for a walk!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but clenched his fists, suppressed his excitement and said, "The sage has orders, Chengqian will do his best!"

Li Shimin nodded when he heard Li Chengqian's words, and then said, "Although you are a military supervisor in name, you only have the right to observe the army and have no right to restraint. Everything is based on Hou Junji's orders, and you must not interfere with Hou Junji's orders." Military orders!"

"Chengqian understands!" Li Chengqian understands that it doesn't matter.

As long as I have the opportunity to go out, then I can win over important members of the army, which is the most important thing.

At least this is something I can't do under Li Shimin's nose!

Li Shimin nodded at this moment when he heard Li Chengqian's words, and said, "Since you know the key points, then follow Hou Junji to fight against this small Tubo country, and you must not lose my Tang Dynasty's prestige!"

Kong Yingda understood this matter but could not stop it, and then looked at Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, and the three civil servants of the Iron Triangle at this time, looking at each other, as if they hadn't heard this at all. things like.

This made Kong Yingda understand that Li Shimin must have been angry with these three civil servants in this matter.

That's why these three people were not surprised by this matter, and Kong Yingda had no choice but to give up when he thought of this.

After all, there is Hou Junji, the successor of the military god Li Jing, and the elites in the army such as Zhishisili, Niu Jinda, Liu Lan, etc. Of course, the best thing is Cheng Zhijie, Yu Chigong, Liu Hongji and so on.

But the reality is that these people were given to Hou Junji, and Hou Junji couldn't command them.

So such unknown generals as Zhi Shi Si Li, Niu Jin Da, Liu Lan, etc. have already been matched with Hou Junji as the core.

At least this lineup is used to deal with the Tubo army. To be honest, at least in Kong Yingda's opinion, it can be regarded as a sledgehammer!
Soon, following Li Shimin's order, Fang Xuanling quickly raised food and grass, and planned the marching route.

Then, with Hou Junji as the commander, Li Chengqian as the supervisor, and Zhi Shili, Niu Jinda, and Liu Lan as the lieutenants, they began to support Songzhou at an extremely fast speed.

As for the Tubo envoy, he was sent back by Li Shimin before he even got to Chang'an.

At this moment, Datang expressed to Tubo that you want to fight, then fight, and directly drove the Tubo envoy back to Tubo.

"I was sent back by the envoys of the Tang Dynasty without seeing the emperor!" The envoys of Tubo reported to Songtsan Gampo after returning,

"However, according to what I heard, Datang sent Hou Junji as commander, commanding an army of [-] to recruit Songpan!"

"Fifty thousand?" Songtsan Gampo turned to Lu Dongzan when he heard this, "After we left, you used the name of an army of 50 to confront the Tang army here!"

"Obey!" Lu Dongzan agreed when he heard Songtsan Gampo's words, but Lu Dongzan was puzzled, "How many troops will Zanpu lead to Qinghai this time?"

"There are only 10 Tang army defenders in Qinghai, and [-] people with me should be enough to wipe out the Tang army!" Songtsen Gampo said confidently.

"30!" Chisang Yangdun, who was standing aside at this time, solemnly said to Songtsen Gampo.

"This... is there too many of them!" Songtsan Gambo asked with some doubts when he heard Chisang Yangdun's words, "Dongzan needs to face the main force of the Tang army this time, so just giving him 20 people is really enough?"

Chisang Yangdun said seriously: "Zanpu, these days, I have been collecting information about Datang in Xihai County.

The sheriff of Xihai County is good at raising horses, and has good friends with the surrounding Qiang people. If we enter Xihai County and are found, then he is likely to ask for help from Tuyuhun or other foreign peoples.

Even if the two of them join forces, it's not terrible, but I'm afraid of being held back by them.

But as long as Datang discovers our purpose and sends troops to support Qinghai, our ultimate goal will fall short.

If it weren't for the fear that 20 troops would not be enough to hold back the main force of the Tang army, I'm afraid that even [-] soldiers and horses wouldn't want to stay with Dongzan! "

"I understand!" Songtsan Gampo came over to pat Lu Dongzan and said, "Dongzan, I will leave this to you. I will lead 30 people to attack Xihai County. When you hear the news of my victory, you will be ready to go!" The retreat can be arranged!"

"Obey!" Lu Dongzan saluted Songtsan Gampo. Although he was burdened, Lu Dongzan also wanted to challenge the strength of the generals of the Tang Dynasty!
