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

Chapter 846 Blue Dragon, Nanchang King Banner

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the Tiebojia River flows from the mountains in the southwest, flows into Fuqi City fifty miles to the northwest, then circles the northwest of the city and flows into Qinghai Lake.

On the hill, two tall horses were galloping from the southeast, followed closely by hundreds of cavalrymen of various colors.

Reining his horse at the highest point of the hill, Li Xuan turned to look at Fuqi City fifty miles away, then looked sideways at Wang Xiaojie beside him, raised his hands and clasped his fists: "The Lord Commander will see him off here. If you have any questions, please ask directly."

Wang Xiaojie held down his horse slightly, looking at the retreating left guard cavalry down the mountain, and finally towards Fuqi City at the end of his sight. He looked at Li Xuan, cupped his hands and said, "Then I'm being presumptuous. I really want to know what the prince wants." How to deal with the matter in Fuqi City?"

Fuqi City was the most important strategic node for the confrontation between hundreds of thousands of armies between Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

If we can successfully capture and digest this place, then Datang will not only get tens of thousands of cavalry, but also a stable source of logistics, greatly increasing the possibility of capturing Wuhai.

Once Wuhai is captured, the entire Tuyuhun hometown will be under the control of Datang, and they can spy on it at any time.

On the contrary, if the Tang Dynasty cannot successfully solve the problem of Fuqi City, it will not only seriously affect the army's logistics, but also the Tubo people may even use the Tuyuhun people to directly cut off the Tang army's food routes. In this way, it will be another big scandal. Battle of Sichuan.

"I know what Zhonglang will be worried about, but don't worry, no matter what, everything will not reach that point." Li Xuan looked calm and spoke tightly.

Wang Xiaojie still held up his hand and said with a hint of worry: "Please make it clear, Your Majesty, after all, Fuqi City is right behind Zuowei."

If something goes wrong in Fuqi City, the first person to suffer will be Wang Xiaojie and his entire right-guard cavalry, so they have to be cautious.

Seeing Wang Xiaojie's insistence, Li Xuan knew in his heart that if he didn't explain something today, he might not be able to send this person away.

Turning around, Li Xuan raised her head.

The sky is clear on the Tiebojia grassland in front; in the distance, the Tiebojia River, Buha River and many other rivers flow into Qinghai Lake along the river courses.

Fuqi City is located on the southwest shore of Qinghai Lake.

"General Zhonglang." Li Xuan looked at the long white clouds above his head and said softly: "Look at the weather today, the weather is gloomy, and there will be light rain soon. I may look further. Within the next half month, this will happen." In this area, I am afraid that there will be dark clouds, black clouds pressing down on the city, and heavy downpours that will last even for half a month. The Tuyuhun people will not be able to leave the city."

"Rain?" Wang Xiaojie looked at the white clouds above his head, his face full of confusion. The sky was clear and the sky was clear. Where could the weather be gloomy, let alone the continuous heavy rain.

Wang Xiaojie's eyes fell on the grassland below. Fuqi City had indeed chosen a valley with fertile pasture.

There is the wide Qinghai Lake behind, and the two mountains of Qinghai Nanshan and Datong Mountain on both sides, blocking the cold wind from the north and south.

There are huge river valleys and grasslands on the front, and there are several rivers flowing through the melted mountain snow, and finally flow into Qinghai Lake on the side of Fuqi City.

Seeing such terrain, Wang Xiaojie had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he understood something instantly.

Wang Xiaojie looked at Li Xuan and said with twitching lips: "Your Majesty wants to..."

"Hey..." Li Xuan interrupted Wang Xiaojie's words, shook his head and said: "Everything is a change in the weather of heaven and earth, and has nothing to do with this king. It is pouring rain, and there are catastrophes in heaven and earth. It is very unfortunate."

After speaking, Li Xuan looked pityful, but the smile on Wang Xiaojie's face was already very forced.

There are no changes in the weather. Just looking at the weather, I know that the weather will be clear in the next few days.

As for the heavy rain, the bullshit heavy rain, it's nothing more than building a dam to store water, and then opening the dam to waterproof it.

These things have just been experienced by them.

If Li Xuan hadn't destroyed Lun Qinling's water attack technique, it would be hard to say what the outcome of the battle a few days ago would have been.

Think about it, when the main forces of the left guard and the right guard were trapped in the flood and unable to resist, then the elephant cavalry trampled them, and the Tibetan soldiers kept firing arrows from above. Countless casualties were minor, and even serious. It is possible that Lun Qinling wiped out the entire Zuowei and Youtunwei in one pot.

We finally got over that flood, and now, someone wants to play water attack again.

It's just that now the person who is playing with water attack is no longer Lun Qinling, but Li Xuan who previously destroyed Lun Qinling's water attack tactics.

Wang Xiaojie now saw clearly that the King of Nanchang's accomplishments in water attack were not inferior to Qinling's at all, and were even better than them, and even more ruthless.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaojie finally handed over his hand and said to Li Xuan: "With the prince behind me to deal with the affairs of Fuqi City, I am completely relieved. In this way, I will say goodbye. I will send someone to tell you what the prince needs. Will come immediately."

"Thank you, General Zhonglang." Li Xuan handed over to Wang Xiaojie, hesitated a little, and finally said: "General Zhonglang must be cautious. If there is no command from the rear, don't rush forward to Wuhai."

"Your Majesty is joking. The commander-in-chief controls the food and fodder of the army, and even the general can't do anything he wants." Wang Xiaojie smiled bitterly and handed over his hands before leaving.

"But what if there is someone in front who has enough food and grass left for the army to march for a month?" Li Xuan's words made Wang Xiaojie pause in place.

After a moment, Wang Xiaojie turned around and wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed all his words, cupped his hands in front of Li Xuan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me. I will keep it in my heart."

After saying that, Wang Xiaojie immediately turned his horse's head and quickly led the people away from the area.

Following Li Xuan, he always felt an inexplicable chill.

In front of the army, he deliberately left enough food and fodder for the army to march for a month. What kind of person would do this, what kind of person would think like this, and have such sinister thoughts.

But the same is true for Qinling, and the same is true for the King of Nanchang.

Before the army marches, with a little bit of trickery, the grain and grass can be delivered without leaving any trace. By then, Wang Xiaojie will be able to move forward or not.

If you don't go up, there is Wuhai right in front of you, who wouldn't be tempted.

On the battlefield, he hopes to win Wuhai, but he may be outflanked.

If it were a month's worth of food and grass, Wang Xiaojie could still have some concentration, but if Qinling had two months' worth of food and grass, it would be even more.

Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but shudder. …

When Wang Xiaojie completely disappeared from sight, Li Xuan turned around and looked at Fuqi City in the distance.

Although the road from the mountain road where they were to Fuqi City was only fifty miles, it was not a smooth road.

More than 30 miles ahead, a small raised mountain range blocked the way, with the Tiebojia River flowing through the middle. However, at the exit of the valley, there was a small city blocking the way, and on the peaks on both sides of the canyon, A watchtower was built.

Wang Xiaojie's left guard cavalry suddenly stopped after they reached there.

Because Li Xuan is here.

With two thousand right guards and four thousand right guards, they quietly killed them.

That valley is not a must-pass for the army. As long as you bypass the mountain range to the north, you can still fight to the foot of Fuqi City. You can even fight to the foot of Fuqi City from the Qinghai Lake further south.

"Cui Ding, lead the cavalry, mobilize the pawns, and capture the place. I will spend the night there tonight." After Li Xuan finished speaking, he waved his hand. Cui Ding immediately handed over, and then quickly walked down the mountain. In the blink of an eye, One thousand cavalry and one thousand sailors were already heading down the mountain quickly.

Li Xuan looked at the small town in the valley in the distance and couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Tuguhun people, when have you ever seen the navy from Hangzhou?"

Li Xuan suddenly turned around, and a small temple stood quietly behind him.

Tiebojia Temple is a small temple that was just established more than ten years ago. In the center of the temple, there is a statue of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva.

Wei Tuo, the last Buddha in the Xian Kalpa, the highest Buddha in the building.

The Treasure Tathagata in the "Sorrowful Flower Sutra" praised him and said: "Good man, in the next life, you will be a great medical king, freeing all living beings from their sufferings. Therefore, you are called the king of fire-purifying medicine."

The king of fire-purifying medicine is the Buddha in the thousandth Buddha tower in the virtuous kalpa.

Go upstairs to Wei Tuo.

……

The fire was bright and the whole castle was peaceful and solemn.

Countless soldiers stood on both sides, holding torches high in their hands. The ground was cleaned extremely clean without a trace of blood.

Li Xuan walked into the castle and followed the straight road to the north gate of the castle.

Beside you, the Tiebojia River flows calmly towards Qinghai Lake. At the end of the river, Fuqi City stands beside it.

But at this moment, Fuqi City is now brightly lit.

For them, the loss of the Southwest Castle was like the Tang Dynasty's Tang Dao had been forced under their necks, so how could they sleep.

"The order is given to seal the castle tonight. All people are not allowed to enter or leave. They all rest for the night. Tomorrow, all the right guard and right guard cavalry will attack. If there are more than ten cavalry on the grassland, they will be immediately dispersed and killed. kill."

After Li Xuan finished speaking, Cui Ding and Nan Ju accepted the promise at the same time.

Li Xuan nodded slightly and continued: "Send the order. Tomorrow, the infantry will advance to a place three miles outside Fuqi City and set up camp. Anyone who leaves the city on the south bank of the Tiebujia River will be killed by the king. As for those on the north bank, There is no need to worry about it.”

"Here!" Su Baotong and others behind him all responded with their hands raised.

Li Xuan turned around, and the gate of the castle slowly closed, and then there was no sound again. At this moment, in Fuqi City, under the light of the fire, countless people were moving around.

The people of Tuyuhun were very courteous to the outside world, and courted Qin and Mu Chu, but internally, they did not know how to unite.

The nine tribes of Tuyuhun each have their own plans.

Throughout the night, no one launched a counterattack against the castle or attempted to recapture it.

……

In the early morning, Li Xuan stood expressionlessly on the wall of the old castle. Cui Ding and Nan Ju had already set off from the city with the Youwei and Youtunwei cavalry and began to sweep away all the Tuyuhun cavalry on both sides of the Tiebojia River and Buha River.

As for the north of the Buha River, no Tang Army cavalry crossed the river.

A total of six thousand Tuyuhun cavalry were directly killed by two thousand Youwei and Youtunwei cavalry, chasing them away like rabbits.

Those who ran fast either fled into the mountains and forests of the southwest, fled into the Qingxi Basin, or fled back to Tuyuhun City.

Those who ran slowly became the victims of Tang Jun's sword.

Li Xuan was already standing at the foot of Tuyuhun City, looking up at the tall old man with white hair and red leather armor on the city wall, who looked elegant and elegant.

The two sides looked at each other, with endless murderous intent in their calm eyes.

A green dragon flag was raised high and fluttering in the wind.

The whole world is filled with darkness.

The people of Tuyuhun immediately knew that this was a Tang royal family who came to Tuyuhun city.

That blood debt in Dafeichuan back then, now, someone has come to settle the matter with the Tyuhun people.
