Chapter 1248 Yang Zhirou: The King of Nanchang Yangkou respects himself
The majestic Nagqu City Wall appears at the end of the sight, and tall sails rush out of the river.
Li Xuan was dressed in black clothes and armor, standing on the bow of the big ship with a cold expression. The river was dozens of meters wide and was big enough for several ships to go parallel at the same time.
The boats are like rain and the trees are like trees.
Densely packed black-armored soldiers stood on both sides of the ship, holding long spears and looking stern.
A tall black banner stands on the top of the ship.
But more eyes were involuntarily cast on Li Xuan under the banner.
Soldiers, banners, commanders.
More than 20 large ships were densely packed from a distance. From a distance, they gave people a heavy pressure.
Yang Zhirou and Xiao Siye, all dressed in crimson robes, stood behind Li Xuan with great awe.
Li Xuan put her hands back and let the strong wind blow on her face.
His eyes fell on the city wall in the distance, with flags flying and densely packed with soldiers guarding the city.
In Li Xuan's eyes, cold murderous intent flashed instantly.
……
"Commander, what is the current situation of Qin Ling? Is he dead?" Yang Zhirou stood behind Li Xuan and asked curiously as soon as he took his eyes away from the city wall.
"My king's arrow was not that easy to hit. It entered under the ribs on the left side and injured the internal organs. After that, it was bumpy and bleeding. A normal person would have died long ago. But looking at the situation in Naqu now, it seems that it is not a white sail. "Li Xuan's sharp eyes flashed with doubt, as if she really didn't understand why Lun Qinling was not dead.
Yang Zhirou fell silent.
Naqu did not hang a white sail, indicating that Lun Qinling was probably not dead.
At least they are not dead now, which is definitely not a good thing for them.
"To be honest, if Lun Qinling is really still alive now, then he is extremely lucky... But even so, with his injuries, he will not be able to participate in the next war. If he really wants to force himself to participate, he can only It's a dead end." A stern expression flashed across Li Xuan's face.
"The commander-in-chief is right. Considering Qin Ling's injuries, he must no longer be able to participate in the battle." Yang Zhirou couldn't help but laugh, looking much more relaxed.
Li Xuan turned back to Yang Zhirou and sighed: "Originally, I thought that this time I could get the head of Lun Qinling with my own hands and then sacrifice it to Chang'an. I didn't expect that he would be saved by Zabala on the way. If not at that time, Just stop."
Yang Zhirou nodded slightly subconsciously, but Xiao Siye on the other side had a faint look in his eyes.
"The commander-in-chief made the right choice at that time." Xiao Siye suddenly spoke and said: "If the 20,000-strong army can be completely pacified, and then move to the east and west, and the 60,000-strong Tubo army is completely subdued, the entire northern Tibetan frontier will be completely pacified. The facts are also It proves that the commander-in-chief is right... How can a severely injured and dying Lun Qinling survive, and he might die tomorrow."
Li Xuan smiled and nodded. As a veteran, Xiao Siye can still speak.
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the city wall in the distance, shaking his head slightly and regretting: "After all, it was too late to report victory to His Majesty."
If he can capture Lun Qinling's head, then even if Naqu is still there, Li Xuan can still write a letter to report victory in Chang'an.
But now that Qin Ling is still alive, Li Xuan can't do many things.
"After all, it was the commander-in-chief who decided this battle. As for the remaining Nagqu, just as the commander-in-chief said, just treat it as a drill for offensive logic." Xiao Siye looked at the two-foot-high city in the distance, shook his head and said: "If it hadn't been used as a drill, the commander-in-chief would have easily taken over this city."
Yang Zhirou was stunned for a moment, then stared closely at Li Xuan.
"Hahaha, it's not easy." Li Xuan shook his head in a funny way, looked at the two of them and explained: "We always have to provoke the relationship between the nobles and ordinary people in the city, and even the slaves... In this way, we After entering the city, we can cleanse one group of people and win over another group of people as quickly as possible to completely stabilize the situation."
"Those who were purged are probably ordinary people and slaves, right?" Yang Zhirou looked at Li Xuan with fearful eyes. He could feel that Li Xuan no longer cared about Qin Ling's life and death. The calculation is about something longer term.
Li Xuan smiled softly and said: "When we take this city, we always have to send something back to Chang'an and present it to His Majesty. These things cannot be obtained from ordinary people and slaves, so we have few choices. …”
"So the commander-in-chief wants to start with those Tubo nobles." Xiao Siye glanced sideways at Yang Zhirou, nodded and said: "Indeed, starting with the Tubo nobles is the fastest, easiest, and most profitable, and they Years ago, I am afraid that there is a lot of blood on my hands stained by my soldiers..."
Yang Zhirou lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashed, and then he nodded in agreement: "That's true. Those Tubo people will die when they die."
"Yes, everything is centered on the central government." Li Xuan turned to look at Nagqu City, shook his head and said: "The king did not take this city immediately because he felt that there was not much food and grass in this city.
We need to supply the soldiers, nobles, common people in the city, as well as the victims who were driven here from other places due to the war. There is not enough food and grass to cope with it, but..."
As soon as Li Xuan paused, Yang Zhirou and Xiao Siye subconsciously looked at him.
"As long as we don't take this city, then these things are not our burden. We can even sit back and watch the tigers fight and watch the Tubo people kill each other." The corners of Li Xuan's mouth were slightly raised, and there was even a hint of cruelty in her eyes.
Yang Zhirou lowered his head and fell completely silent.
"Also, in the land of Tubo, ordinary people and slaves do not have land after all. Those who really own land are the nobles. Only if these nobles die more will our soldiers have land to reward and women to marry. Only by doing this can we calm people's hearts faster." Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Yang Zhirou with a solemn expression.
Yang Zhirou was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that there was such a conspiracy.
……
With the strong wind blowing in his face, Xiao Siye suddenly spoke and asked, "May I ask, Marshal, how long will it take for us to completely capture this city?"
The Lun Qin Mausoleum is now in this city. Taking this city is equivalent to capturing the Lun Qin Mausoleum.
Then, whether dead or alive, they can be sent to Chang'an to enjoy the emperor's reward. "It depends on when our own grain and grass can be transported." Li Xuan looked at the military camp in the northwest and said in deep thought: "Although we have captured a lot of grain and grass now, to be honest, it is far from enough. We need Search and inspect the grain and grass seized by people from all over the country...In this way, after we have enough grain and grass, we can take the next step."
"The commander is not only thinking about this city, but also this winter and next spring." Xiao Siye's vision was sharp enough.
"After capturing Naqu and stabilizing northern Xinjiang, we will advance to the south. According to the intelligence report, Tibet still has a hundred thousand troops in Luozou." Seeing Yang Zhirou's face change slightly, Li Xuan and Xiao Siye looked at each other, their eyes full. There was a flash of smile.
"Although one hundred thousand is a lot, most of them should be new recruits." Xiao Siye revealed the hidden message in Li Xuan's words with one sentence.
"Backed by a strong city, even a hundred thousand pigs are not easy to catch, let alone the one who is in charge now is Lun Qinling's elder brother Zan Xiruo. He is a figure who can compete with the Duke of Wenxi County. , not easy to mess with." Li Xuan looked at Naqu subconsciously.
"The commander-in-chief wants to use Nagqu City to shake the hearts of the more logical people." A thought flashed through Xiao Siye's mind, and he couldn't help but speak out.
"Haha!" Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh, waved her hands and said, "You really can't hide anything from the Duke."
Yang Zhirou's expression turned serious. Now he finally no longer doubted that Li Xuan was trying to support the bandits...
He really suspected that Li Xuan was trying to support the bandits.
A living Lun Qinling will make the court rely more on Li Xuan. Once Lun Qinling dies, the threat of Tubo to the Tang Dynasty will decline sharply.
At that time, the court can find an excuse to replace Li Xuan at any time.
As long as Lun Qinling is alive and Luoche remains out of reach, Li Xuan will still be the northwest king that the court has to rely on.
But Yang Zhirou could clearly feel that the position of Lun Qinling had long been lost in Li Xuan's eyes.
Even in Li Xuan's eyes, Qin Ling was simply a dead person.
But Naqu and Lun Qinling, who was seriously injured, were enough for Li Xuan to play tricks on this matter.
Yang Zhirou is even thinking that if Lun Qinling dies now, then although the people in Tubo are in chaos, they may be reorganized with determination, and they will be united and compassionate. At that time, Tubo would not be so easy to deal with.
Not to mention there is a Zan Xiruo, but if Lun Qinling is not dead, he can be used as a pawn to instigate civil strife in Tubo.
Perhaps this was the way King Nanchang came up with it in a flash after he knew that Lun Qinling was not dead.
Yang Zhirou lowered his head slightly, a hint of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
Is the King of Nanchang so wise as a demon?
……
The Nagqu City in the distance was getting closer and closer. Li Xuan turned his eyes to the southeast, looked in the direction of Luozhe, and said softly: "I don't know much about the deeper affairs of Tubo, but I think that not long after, Her Royal Highness Princess Wencheng returns, I will wait. You can know where to focus your efforts, as for Qinling."
Yang Zhirou and Xiao Siye raised their heads at the same time with solemn expressions.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly and said: "Now it depends on how Wei Shaofu can break the city, but it cannot be later than when Wang Shilang arrives. Once Wang Shilang escorts the first wave of grain and grass power after the autumn, we will need Naqu as the real The reserves of the lake are not enough for transporting grain."
It is now the end of July, and it will soon be late autumn. Some of the grain and grass harvests from various places will be sent to Chang'an, and some will be sent directly to the grasslands and Tubo.
This batch of grain and grass is the key to Li Xuan and the others being able to gain a foothold in Tubo.
Wang Dezhen is now in Tanggula Town. Even though Li Xuan defeated the 100,000-strong army at Lun Qinling, she never thought of catching him.
It is Wang Dezhen's duty to escort food and fodder.
"What about the people in Nagqu City?" Xiao Siye looked at Li Xuan cautiously, asking the same question.
Once they capture Naqu, the people in Naqu City who have no houses or food will become a burden to them.
"How many days do you think the grain and grass in Nagqu City will be enough to support the people in the city?" Li Xuan smiled, then shook his head and said: "Even if the grain and grass in the city can last until the autumn, who cares if people are in despair and people are in chaos? No matter what the specific number is, everyone is eager to move all the grain depots to their own homes. Under this condition, how long can the food last?"
After a slight pause, Li Xuan's face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "We are attacking the city from the outside, and there is no Lu Qinling in charge inside. In addition, spies have already sneaked into the city. After three days, the city will begin to be chaotic. After six days, , there will be a large-scale conflict, and in ten days, the city gate will be wide open."
Seeing Li Xuan's excited expression, Xiao Siye and Yang Zhirou felt inexplicably frightened.
A thought flashed through their minds at the same time: King Nanchang must not be allowed to return to Chang'an.
……
In the distance, the gate of Nagqu City gradually became clearer, but strangely, there was not a single Tubo citizen under the city.
The city guard actually brought all the people into the city.
A hint of horror flashed in Yang Zhirou and Xiao Siye's eyes.
No wonder the King of Nanchang had to wait a few days to attack the city.
Everything is under his calculation.
This thought is too terrifying.
