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

Chapter 817 The Tubo Queen has no Lu family

The ground was littered with corpses and rivers of blood flowed.

Not a single one was left alive.

Li Xuan stood under the stone cliff, looking at Wu Xiza who was running away into the mountains and forests in the distance. A trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and then he ordered: "Li Duozuo."

"The general is here." Li Duozuo immediately urged his horse forward.

Li Xuan said coldly: "I order you to immediately lead six hundred cavalry to the gates of Tongren City, intercept and kill all messengers inside and outside, and at the same time look for loopholes in the city wall and take the opportunity to attack the city."

"General, take your orders!" Li Duozuo handed over his hand without any hesitation, and then asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty!"

As he said that, Li Duozuo looked worriedly at Usiza and his ten soldiers who had escaped from the mountain forest.

Li Xuan waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter, Jinwu Guard and Qianniu Guard stay here to arrest people. They are good at it."

Seeing that Li Duozuo was relieved, Li Xuan smiled lightly and said, "You'd better find a way to capture the county quickly, otherwise the number of heads of one of our Tubo guards here will already exceed yours."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Li Duozuo cupped his hands and said calmly: "I will never let Your Majesty get ahead of me. I will take the first step."

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then looked at Li Duozuo and waved his hand. In the blink of an eye, the six hundred cavalrymen were rushing towards Tongren County like a torrent.

The current Tongren County town must have received news of Usiza's defeat, and the entire city was on alert.

Although there are not many people inside, it is not easy to conquer.

It would be best if Li Duozuo could find a way to break into the city. Even if he couldn't find it, it would take until dawn, which would be enough to make the people inside stay up all night in fear and be exhausted. After Li Xuan arrived, it was just in time to harvest. .

Li Xuan turned his head and whispered: "Stay the right guard, collect the horses, Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard, go into the mountain to arrest people."

"Here!"

……

Usiza led a dozen of his men and ran quickly towards the depths of the mountain forest.

The mountainous terrain was difficult to travel, and it was difficult for the cavalry to use their speed. Therefore, after half an hour, the pace of the chasing cavalry behind them had decreased a lot.

Usiza ran quickly while looking quickly.

Looking for any suitable place to set up an ambush, he wanted to fight back and kill Li Xuan.

As long as you kill him, everything can be restored.

He would not be reconciled until Li Xuan died.

Ahead, a stream flows slowly through the mountains, and on the east side of the stream there is a small hillside that hides people.

After running all night, even he was very thirsty, let alone Li Xuan's people and their horses.

Thinking of this, Wu Xiza immediately called his soldiers to go upstream of the creek, preparing to cross the creek and ambush Li Xuan.

However, when they reached the halfway point, suddenly, an arrow suddenly shot down from the hillside above, heading straight towards Usiza.

Usiza subconsciously tilted his head, and the crossbow arrow shot directly into the chest of the autographer beside him.

Warm blood immediately splashed half of Usiza's face.

Before he could react, arrows were shooting from behind and in front of him, and even from behind the hillside on the east side.

In the blink of an eye, all his soldiers except Usiza himself were shot dead.

Death happened so quickly, as if it happened in an instant.

Wu Xiza's whole body was filled with coldness. How could he not understand that the place he had favored to ambush Li Xuan had long been favored by Li Xuan to ambush him.

Behind the surrounding dense forest, there seemed to be countless figures flashing, and the soft "clatter" sound brought by the creek in my ears seemed to be in another world.

The smell of blood had long filled Usiza's nostrils.

He held the long knife firmly in his right hand and looked around cautiously.

"Tap tap tap!" A crisp sound of horse hooves came from behind. Wu Xiza suddenly turned around, and then saw Li Xuan riding on the horse with a comfortable expression.

"King of Nanchang!" When Wu Xiza saw Li Xuan, he gritted his teeth with a look of hatred.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, reined in the horse, leaned over and looked at Wu Xiza, and said calmly: "I have been friends with the Protector God for a long time, and I haven't asked the Protector's name yet."

Wusiza's mouth twitched slightly, he pressed his right fist on his left chest, covered his right fist with his left hand, and saluted, "No Lu Wusiza, I have seen the King of Nanchang."

"It turns out that the Bulu family is the leader of the twelve small states in Tubo. I'm so happy to meet you!" Li Xuan sat on the horse and saluted with his hands raised.

Tubo, like the Tang Dynasty, had many high-ranking officials.

The twelve small states including the Lu family, Na Nang family, Chen family, Gar family, Cai Bang family, Nu family, Niang family, Niang Ruo family, Ni Yang Ruo family, Nian family, Niya family, etc. are Tubo. Noble family.

After the two generations of Nangri Songtsen and Songtsan Gampo, many important clans, some through military merit and some through political career, have gained control of power and have formed a system.

The Lu family, Na Nang family, Chen family, and Gar family are the four major clans among the twelve small states.

That's right, the Gar clan, where the Qin Mausoleum is located, ranks last among the four major clans.

Regardless of the fact that two generations of the Gar family are serving as prime ministers, their influence in Tubo is still not as good as the previous three families.

Especially the Wu Lu family. The reason why the Wu Lu family, who was born in the ancient Xiang Kingdom, became the number one clan in Tubo is because the queens of Tubo for several generations were all women of the Wu Lu family.

It is the same today, there is no Lufei Chimalun, Tubo Zanpumangsongmangzan is the current queen.

Her son Dusong Mangbojie is the little prince of Tubo. He is very likely to become the next Zampu of Tubo. He may have secretly ascended the throne.

……

Li Xuan also didn't expect that he just bumped into a Tubo Protector, who turned out to be a member of the Tubo Princess' clan. "Captain, you have two choices now." Cavalry Li Xuan stepped forward slightly, and then said indifferently: "First, I will send you to Chang'an now, and then Tubo will pay a certain price to exchange you back; second Second, commit suicide, and I will give you the opportunity to write a suicide note."

Wu Xiza was stunned, looked at Li Xuan, and wanted to say something, but couldn't.

He actually has a third option, which is for Li Xuan to capture him and then forcibly send him to Chang'an or Shanzhou.

This way he doesn't have to bear the burden of surrender.

But Li Xuan didn't give him this choice at all, which meant that Li Xuan was humiliating him now.

In fact, his only option is to commit suicide.

Usiza's whole body was cold. He was not a person who was afraid of death, but when death came before him, his mind could not help but go blank.

After a while, Usiza finally spoke slowly and said: "I commit suicide, but there is a problem."

Li Xuan nodded calmly and said, "Please speak."

"Why did the prince dare to mobilize all his right guard soldiers? Aren't you afraid that there will be problems with the follow-up food route?" Wu Xiza looked at Li Xuan with an ugly face. This was his biggest oversight in this battle. How could he I can't understand how Li Xuan dared to do this.

That's right, the reason why Li Xuan was able to have such a layout was that the Tubo people never expected that he would mobilize all his right guards.

Li Xuan has [-] right guard soldiers, [-] Hangzhou soldiers, and [-] Yongzhou soldiers.

Originally, Li Xuan used all the Hangzhou soldiers on the grain road up from Bingling Lake, and he left all the Yongzhou soldiers outside Bingling Lake.

Wu Xiza originally thought that Li Xuan trusted his cronies more and was unwilling to use more Yongzhou soldiers. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly used the Yongzhou soldiers as his final trump card.

Five thousand soldiers, two thousand to support Guide Nile Lake, and one thousand to guard Longwu Village, so there are still two thousand soldiers.

Even if there are frontline injuries and plateau miasma, these people are still enough for Li Xuan to use.

This hand is the key to winning this war.

Usiza was also defeated here.

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and then said: "The key to the grain road is that whether the transportation is delayed or the grain road is destroyed, it is suspected of violating military orders. Therefore, as long as the grain transportation and the grain road are not destroyed, it is enough. "

"Yuan family?" Wu Xiza stared at Li Xuan closely. He knew very well what kind of people the Yuan family were.

"The Yuan family promised that the whole family would assist in the transportation of grain and grass. Therefore, even if the king mobilizes all the right guards and soldiers, there will be no problem with the transportation of grain and grass." Li Xuan looked at Wu Xiza calmly, and then said: " What's more, I have also deliberately improved the food and grass transportation, which saves at least [-]% of the time than usual, so..."

"So you don't need to worry about food and grass problems at all." Usiza's face was already very ugly.

He understood even more clearly that if all 5000 of Li Xuan's men were thrown into the plateau battlefield, who knows how big of a chain effect it would have.

Li Xuan nodded gently, then turned sideways and said, "Here, give me a pen and paper."

A Qian Niu Guard quickly stepped forward and handed the pen and paper hidden on his body directly to Usiza.

For a moment, Wu Xiza's hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and he looked up at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan glanced at him and said, "If you don't want to die, just drop the knife."

After saying that, Li Xuan pulled the horse's rope, then turned around, and the sound of Usiza writing came from behind.

The Tubo nobles are still somewhat bloody.

……

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Qian solemnly raised his hands to Li Xuan, and then handed over Wu Xiza's letter.

Li Xuan waved her hand, not intending to read it, and then said: "No one is allowed to read the letter. Put the body in a coffin and send it to Lanzhou together with the letter. Lanzhou will know how to use it."

"Here!" Zhou Qian handed over his hand and immediately went to handle the matter himself.

Based on his understanding of Li Xuan, Usiza's death and the last letter were deeply political manipulation and calculations.

If you are not careful, there will be huge turmoil in Tubo.

What their prince is best at is this kind of scheming.

"Let's go! Go to Tongren!" Li Xuan grabbed the horse's rope and quickly headed towards Tongren County.

Three hundred cavalrymen, plus two hundred horses, rushed directly towards Tongren County.

At the front of the horse, Li Xuan lowered her body and couldn't help but look in Luo Zuo's direction.

If Usiza was not a descendant of the Lu family, he might have spared his life, but more likely, he might have killed him with his own hands.

Because Wu Xiza knew too much about Li Xuan after this battle, so it was impossible for Li Xuan to let him live.

And since he didn't have the identity of a descendant of the Lu family, it didn't bring him any hope.

Li Xuan needs to use his life to provoke civil strife between the Tubo royal family.

After all, Wu Xizha was sent to his colleagues by name by Lun Qinling himself. He died on the battlefield. There are only two people who hate him most, one is Li Xuan and the other is Lun Qinling.

To kill Lun Qinling, it is best for the Tubo people to do it themselves.

Now, Li Xuan has quietly handed the handle of the knife to the Tubo royal family.

It depends on when this seed of suspicion and resentment takes root and sprouts.

……

Amidst the sound of horse hooves, a newly renovated city appeared in front of Li Xuan.

Colleagues, here we are.
