People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1247: Detailed arrangements to control Tubo

With a "boom", the water waves exploded, and the wooden piles at the bottom of the water suddenly jumped out of the river.

The big ship began to move forward slowly, and cheers came from the surrounding soldiers at the same time.

The big ship stopped and the planks were put down.

On the shore, Li Xuan dismounted from his horse, holding a black large banner and a white lion flag, and walked steadily onto the deck.

Standing on the bow of the ship, with a black banner in one hand and a white lion flag in the other, Li Xuan looked around calmly.

Countless cavalrymen in black clothes and armor sat solemnly on their horses and said seriously, "Congratulations, Commander, for defeating the enemy. You are so majestic and powerful, invincible from all directions."

Li Xuan nodded lightly, looked to the side and asked, "Youwei Lang General Li Yi."

"The general is here." Li Yi immediately got off his horse and stood in front of the ship.

"I order you to count all the casualties and gains of the left and right guards from now on, describe the military merits, distribute the rewards, and then hand them over to Langya County Duke to present to His Majesty."

"I will obey your orders." Li Yi cupped his hands and then stepped back slightly.

Li Xuan raised his head and continued: "You Jinwu Guards Commander Cui Ding."

"The general is here." Cui Ding immediately stood up with his hands raised and looked at Li Xuan solemnly.

"I order you to immediately lead a thousand right guards and a thousand left guards, gallop on the right, and reinforce the left guard Zhonglang General Tang Zhenxing and the right guard Zhonglang General Qiu Zhenmu."

"General, take your orders." Cui Ding cupped his hands, then got on his horse. The next moment, two thousand elite cavalry were already heading towards Bangor.

There, Tang Zhenxing and Qiu Zhenmuzheng led 5,000 cavalry to fight against 20,000 Tibetan cavalry.

They did not have much advantage, so they had to quickly reinforce and at the same time spread the news of the defeat of Lun Qinling.

As soon as the news arrives, their situation will improve immediately.

"Youwei Lang General Yan Tao."

"The general is here." Yan Tao got off his horse and accepted his order.

"I order you to lead a thousand cavalry, holding the flag of the Tubo commander, to Suoxian County to support the right-leading army guard general Hei Te Changzhi, and the right-leading army guard Zhonglang General Li Duozuo."

"The last general takes orders." Yan Tao stepped forward respectfully and solemnly took the white lion flag.

The horses galloped, and a thousand right-guard cavalry were already heading east quickly.

The white lion flag was held high.

As if holding endless glory.

"Qianniu Weilang will Zhou Qian." Li Xuan's eyes fell on Zhou Qian.

"The end will be here." Zhou Qian bowed and lowered his head.

"Order you to immediately lead a thousand left guard cavalry to Cona Lake and occupy the Tibetan camp, paying special attention to the food and grass there."

"The last general takes orders." Zhou Qian suddenly became solemn.

The next step for the army is to capture Naqu, but before that, if they can successfully capture Cuona Lake, they will have a good foothold.

Not long after, a thousand left guard cavalry left quickly.

"Qianniu Guards General Su Baotong."

"The general is here." Su Baotong immediately stood up and dismounted.

"I order you to lead three hundred cavalry to clean the battlefield and escort the prisoners."

"General, take your orders." Su Baotong immediately turned around and left.

"You Xiaowei Zhonglang General Rensu."

"The end is here." Rensu, who was wearing heavy black armor, turned over and dismounted.

He is the son of Ren Enci. Although the court tried to win over Ren Enci, the Tyuhun people respected Li Xuan even more than the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

"Tell brothers, take off your armor." Li Xuan waved his hand, and the three thousand heavy cavalry handed over their hands at the same time: "Here!"

Three thousand heavy armors were slowly taken off from the sweating Tuyuhun soldiers, and then placed on the ship one by one.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves came from the front.

Three hundred black-armored cavalry stopped in front of the ship like a whirlwind.

……

Li Zhu turned over and dismounted, and said with a solemn expression: "Commander, not long ago, three thousand cavalry from Naqu rescued Lun Qinling, but were entangled by two thousand cavalry at the end. He could only watch as one thousand cavalry rescued Lun Qinling, and returned. Please punish me, Commander-in-Chief."

Li Xuan's face darkened slightly, and then asked: "Will they go straight to Luozhou or stop in the middle?"

"The general is chasing closely behind, and there is no time to stop between them." Li Zhu earnestly handed over.

Li Xuan lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, thinking softly, and finally said slowly: "Now Lun Qinling is probably seriously injured and dying. Of course, if there are any clever doctors in Tubo, he may be able to survive for a while... If so If he rests, he may still have three to five years to live, but if he is exhausted from fighting..."

The generals around listened with solemnity. Their King of Nanchang was one of the most brilliant doctors in the world.

He said that if Qin Ling was seriously injured and dying, Qin Ling would definitely be seriously injured and dying.

He said that if Qin Ling met a good doctor, if he rested, he might have another three to five years of good life, but if he didn't rest, he might be dead.

"Li Zhu." Li Xuan looked up, with a fierce look on his face.

"The end is here." Li Zhu solemnly said with his hands empty.

"I order you to lead three hundred cavalrymen from the north of Nagqu and drive all the people around the city. They are not allowed to harvest the grain in the fields and are told to go to Nagqu. I want to see Nagqu. Do you dare to accept the countless people around you?"

Li Xuan's eyes were cold.

Because of the sudden heavy rain, the Tubo people had no time to harvest the crops in the fields.

Today's food is still growing well in the ground.

As for Naqu, food and grass for an army of 100,000 were originally stored there. But more than seven months have passed since last year, from the time Li Xuan fought in Tanggula Mountain in January to now, and even if there is some food and grass left in Nagqu City, there is not much left.

They themselves are still waiting for the food in the fields to save their lives, so how can they use their own food to save the people.

The food crisis will inevitably lead to conflicts between ordinary Tubo people and the Nagqu City Guards, and may even threaten the city.

Once Lu Qinling is forced to participate in handling these affairs, then he is finished.

"General, take your orders." Li Zhu didn't hesitate at all, immediately got on his horse and ran towards Nagqu City in the distance.

The surrounding soldiers continued to do their own things. You Xiaowei quickly put his heavy armor on the boat, and then mounted his horse in light armor.

Three thousand Right Knight Guards and Qingqi suddenly appeared on both sides of the river.

"Let's go to Cuona Lake." Li Xuan waved his hand, and the long sail was raised. More than 20 large ships and countless small boats crowded towards Cuona Lake.

……

At dusk, the beautiful sunset is reflected on the quiet Cuona Lake, which is sparkling and extremely beautiful.

Countless cavalry came from a distance, directly broke through the silence around them, and rushed into the camp on the shore.

Two thousand soldiers were working non-stop to tidy up and improve the camps left by the Tibetan people.

They have been staying here for the past few days, but the slovenliness of the Tubo people makes them really intolerable.

Clear water clears the land, and the loess is resurfaced.

Qiu Zhenmu, Tang Zhenxing, and Cui Ding quickly walked into the Chinese army's tent from the outside.

Li Xuan sat behind the desk, with his teeth always black. Xiao Siye, Li Duozuo, Wei Hongji, Yang Zhirou, Zhou Qian, Li Yi, Yan Tao and others sat on both sides.

"I will see you at last, Commander-in-Chief." Qiu Zhenmu, Tang Zhenxing and Cui Ding all raised their hands to Li Xuan at the same time.

Li Xuan put down the thin bamboo brush in her hand that was used to deal with military achievements, looked up at the three of them, and asked, "How is the situation in the northwest?"

"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, there are only 10,000 people left in the northwestern Tibetan army. They are retreating to Nyima County in embarrassment. Further west there is the hometown of Xiangxiong." Qiu Zhenmu handed over his hands solemnly.

"Xiangxiong." Li Xuan nodded lightly and said thoughtfully: "When you go back later, take the lion and elephant flag of Lunqin Mausoleum with you. I want you to start recruiting the Tibetan tribes in the northwest and be careful about the Xiangxiong tribe. Do you understand?"

"I will eventually understand." Qiu Zhenmu and the other two handed over their hands at the same time.

The Xiangxiong people, before Li Xuan and others invaded Tubo, these people were the best helpers of the Tang Dynasty.

But when the Tang Dynasty invades Tubo, they will compete with the Tang Dynasty for control of Tubo.

Li Xuan asked Qiu Zhenmu and others to surrender the remaining 10,000 Tibetan troops, with the intention of using them to fight against the Xiangshung people.

Regardless of whether these people surrender or not, the result is the same.

Surrendering, they followed Li Xuan's order to guard against Xiang Xiong.

Without surrender, from the standpoint of the Tubo people, the relationship with Xiang Xiong and the others would definitely not be much better.

By then, it might just be a fight.

"Everyone, please sit down." Li Xuan nodded slightly, and Qiu Zhenmu and the other three immediately handed over their hands: "Here!"

Li Xuan's eyes passed over everyone, and then said: "Although Tibet still has troops in the northwest, they have been dispersed and cut up, making it difficult for them to do anything. What we need to do next is to stabilize the situation more."

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "In the northwest, Brother Qiu and General Tang Zhonglang are responsible for targeting the remnants of the Tibetan army and are also on guard against Xiang Xiong.

Brother Qiu is responsible for this matter, and Tang Zhonglang will be responsible for other matters such as appeasing the people, harvesting grain, and collecting grain into the warehouse. "

"The last general takes orders." Qiu Zhenmu and Tang Zhenxing stood up at the same time and held their hands.

"Also, the compilation of local household registration will also begin. Your Majesty has decreed that Tubo implements the Tang system. Everything here is done in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty. As long as the people here voluntarily enter the household registration of the Tang Dynasty, the taxes they pay will be based on If you are not a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, everything should be done according to ten draws and six lines."

Li Xuan looked at everyone calmly, and everyone else bowed slightly.

"The last general takes orders." Qiu Zhenmu and Tang Zhenxing held their hands with solemn expressions. Qiu Zhenmu understood even more that this was Li Xuan's best method of provoking people's hearts.

I believe that it won’t be long before the entire northwest will be filled with people who voluntarily joined the Tang Dynasty.

Li Xuan waved slightly, and Qiu Zhenmu and Tang Zhenxing retreated and sat down.

"In the southeast, Li Duozuo, the right-leading army guard general, is responsible for resisting the enemy on the front line. Hei Chi Changzhi, the right-leading army guard general, is responsible for handling government affairs, compiling household registration, appeasing the people, harvesting grain, and using various methods, just like in the northwest." Li Xuan looked calmly. looked to one side.

Hei Te Changzhi and Qiu Zhenmu stood up at the same time, then cupped their hands and said: "The last general takes orders."

"The rest is about Naqu." Li Xuan looked at Cui Ding and said directly: "Cui Ding took it back and was directly responsible for attacking Naqu."

"General, take your orders." Cui Ding stood up and held his hands.

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Don't be too hasty in attacking the city, let's practice it, Wei Shaofu."

"I'm here." Wei Hongji stood up and held his hands.

"Build siege equipment and use normal means to attack the city as much as possible. Naqu is our most advanced drill." Li Xuan's eyes turned cold.

"I accept your orders." Wei Hongji handed over his hands and then retreated.

……

After pondering for a while, Li Xuan looked at Hei Te Changzhi and said: "Left Guard and Right Guard, although the terrain in the northwest is vast, it is sparsely populated and requires not many troops, but the southeast is different.

The Nagqu River flows out of Nagqu, and there are several densely populated counties in the east including Nierong, Suoxian, Baqing and Bianba.

With just the five thousand cavalry leading the army on the right, it would be difficult to establish a complete foothold, let alone march south to Linzhi. "

Black Teeth Changzhi nodded slowly and said: "It is not difficult for the Right Leading Army Guard to capture and occupy the city, but if you want to go deep into the place and harvest grain and grass at the same time, even if you drive away the people, the required troops are still infantry, and the Right Leading Army Guard needs reinforcements. .”

"From Anduo Pass, we will dispatch four thousand infantry to accompany us to suppress the area and collect food and grass. Finally, we will circle the southeast to threaten Linzhi so that the southernmost Tibetan troops will not dare to easily go north for reinforcements." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he turned to look at Li Yi, said in a deep voice: "Li Yi is responsible for commanding a thousand right-wing army guards and a thousand right-hand guards to guard Anduo. All logistics matters will be arranged by Anduo, and everyone will go where they want to go."

"The last general takes orders." Li Yi and Li Xuan looked at each other with twinkling eyes.
