Red Tang

The flames lit up the night fiercely, and when the city was broken, the moon was waning in the sky.

In the second half of the night, the drifting heavy rain has stopped.

Looking back at the vast ocean of Jiuqu City, Li Kuo only felt a crisp sound in his heart.

Is my plan too cruel?Is this going too far?

Apart from the Tubo soldiers, there should also be herdsmen in the city. What's wrong with them?

no no!If the embankment was not dug to release the water, it would be absolutely impossible to force Tubo Zanpu to flee in a hurry. If Tubo Zanpu had not been forced to flee, the Tubo army in Chiling would not have returned to aid.At that time, it will be the soldiers and common people of my Tang Dynasty who will suffer!If you want to blame, you can only blame them for casting the wrong baby, don't blame him, Li Kuo, for being cruel.

His nationality determines his position, this matter, this matter is understandable!

Even though he thought so, the young man was kind-hearted after all, and he felt guilty all the time.

"Qilang, what's the matter with you?" Seeing Li Kuo's gloomy face, Aina urged the horse to lean over and asked caringly.

"It's nothing, but it's just a headache." Not wanting Aina to get involved in this matter too much, Li Kuo waved his hand to avoid it.

"Hmph, you must have something to hide from me!" Seeing that Li Kuo was talking about other things, Aina accepted her "tenderness" and said: "You don't need to tell me, if you don't tell me, I will go back to Hekou now, and by the way Take away these three thousand white wolf clan warriors!"

Now Li Kuo panicked, he didn't care if Aina left or not, but if the three thousand white wolf warriors were missing, it would really be a big mistake.

"I said, I said it's not enough." Li Kuo smiled wryly, and hurriedly said: "I, I just feel uneasy when I see that the city is full of marshes."

"Pfft!" Aina laughed out loud when she heard this. "I still think it's a big deal, it's because of this. You, you are too pedantic and kind!" She paused and said, "Do you know how the Tubo people treat other tribes who resist it? Let alone Take Tuyuhun as an example. When the city of Fuqi was broken, the ferocious Tubo people rushed into the city and beheaded all the men, and all the women and children were not slaves! Wouldn’t it make people laugh out loud when you told them about morality? .”

"Oh! I understand. Are you afraid that the civil servants of the Tang court will use this to impeach you?" Aina rolled her eyes and patted her head. "It's strange to say that your civil officials are full of benevolence and morality, but they don't know that those things that are worthless can't be used for war. If you really want to attack a city, you have to rely on a knife."

Never thought she would think this way, Li Kuo was slightly annoyed: "How other people impeach is other people's business, and how I do it is my business. Could it be that I, Li Kuo, would disregard thousands of robes just because I am afraid of the impeachment of a few rotten scholars?"

"That's it, what an elm head!" Aina rolled her eyes at him and said, "How can you manage so much on the battlefield? Fortunately, you have read a few military books. Does the God of War Bai Qi know? 40 soldiers were surrendered, and no one made irresponsible remarks?" (Note 1)

"You know Bai Qi?" Li Kuo looked at Aina in surprise, not daring to believe his ears.If Aina Tang Yan spoke well, he could understand it, but she was a little surprised that she was so familiar with the history of the Central Plains.

"There's nothing to make a fuss about." Aina curled her lips and said, "These are what Suyas told me, not to mention the white ones, but the rest of the generals, as long as they can be named, I will They all know a thing or two. If you want to say, that kid is really knowledgeable." Seeing Li Kuo's livid face, Aina realized that Su Yas had assassinated Li Kuo, and stuck out her tongue brilliantly. Say no more.

Strange to say, what enmity does that kid have with Qilang?After that night, he suddenly disappeared, not even a leather jacket left behind!

Although what he said was stinging, Li Kuo didn't want to argue with a little girl, so he waved his hand to signal the other party to continue.

"So, only the strong can survive on the battlefield." Coming from a nomadic people, Aina was instilled with the concept of many boys since she was a child. The winner is the king and the loser is Kou. This is an eternal truth.

The loser has no right to complain, if he wants to blame, he can only blame himself for his lack of strength.

"Maybe." The young man sighed and raised his whip.

"Hey, I said, you, wait for me."

"Drive!" She whipped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and Aina followed closely.

......

"Crossing this mountain ridge, we will be the Valley of Double Dragons!" Tuba held the rein of the horse with one hand, and pointed to Li Kuo with a torch.

"Well, tell the brothers to work harder, we must reach the valley before the Tibetans." Li Kuo nodded and said loudly.

"General, we are only five thousand at a time, how can we guard the two intersections?" Dou Qing approached the horse and expressed his worries.

Li Sheng heard the words: "There is no need to guard the two forks. There is a saying in the art of war, and the two paths are guarded side by side. As long as we set up an ambush at the intersection of the two roads, there is no possibility for the Tubo people to escape from Shuanglong Valley alive."

Tuba glanced at Li Sheng appreciatively and said: "This general is right. Although there are two forks in the Shuanglong Valley, they meet at one point in the middle. As long as we deploy heavy troops, no matter which road the Tubo people choose to take, they will be killed by us." army ambush."

"So, call him Tubo Zanpu who will come and go!" Zhang Yanji felt so proud, at first their mission was to force the Tubo army to return to help, who would have thought that now they would have a chance to capture Tubo Zanpu alive!If such a treasure is really captured, how many soldiers and horses will it be worth, how much land will be cut at that time, and how much ransom will be paid, isn't it all up to them?

Unaware that his friend had such a crooked idea in his heart, Li Kuo nodded: "It would be the best if we can capture Tubo Zanpu, but we must pay attention to concealment, and we must not startle the snake."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere in the army was very harmonious.

"General Li, General Li!" Xian Yu Yucheng galloped from afar on a bay red horse.When he was approaching, the young man got off his horse and knelt down on one knee to report: "Report to the general, the scouts found a large Tubo army thirty miles behind!"

"Send me an order to make everyone move forward at full speed, and we must arrive at Double Dragon Valley within half an hour!"

Li Kuo tightened his grip on the reins and ordered in a deep voice.
