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

Chapter 991 The young master is suspicious of the country, but he will not deceive me sincerely.

The endless torrent, carrying rolling stones, rushed out of Xiaohuashi Gorge.

The Tubo cavalry who were entering the Dahuashi Gorge were rushed straight into the face.

In an instant, countless Tubo cavalry were overturned, fell into the flood, and were forced to roll towards Wuhai.

Lun Qinling, who had just entered Dahuashi Gorge, looked at Xiaohuashi Gorge with disbelief.

Standing there was a warrior in black clothes and armor.

On Qinling's first look, he immediately thought it was Li Xuan.

But in an instant, he was sure that person was definitely not Li Xuan.

Li Xuan didn't rush from Dafichuan to Xiaohuashi Gorge so quickly.

But there is no doubt that all this is Li Xuan's arrangement.

The last [-] Tubo Tiger Division and Leopard Division cavalry in Qinling's hands were instantly cut off by the torrent.

Only when the torrent disappears can the remaining ones return to Dahuashi Gorge.

But... in the distance in the direction of the Sea of ​​Bitterness, the sounds of fighting were already ringing out.

The cavalry behind them were already fighting with the Tang Dynasty's pursuers.

If there hadn't been thirty miles of swamps, the Tang army might have already chased them.

Just as they were about to return to Dahuashi Gorge, at the last critical moment, someone destroyed the dam and released the flood.

……

Who knows about Qinling? Li Xuan accumulated a whole summer of snow water in Xiaohuashi Gorge and never released it.

What you are waiting for is a critical moment.

It's not like he has never tried to capture Xiaohuashi Gorge before, but who would have thought that today's Xiaohuashi Gorge is already a killing city full of traps.

too fast.

Starting from the occupation of Xiaohuashi Gorge in March, Li Xuan made continuous improvements for five months, finally turning it into a fortress that was difficult to conquer.

Qinling never had the opportunity to attack the city with all its strength. When Li Xuan did not return from Panzhou, Wang Xiaojie's Wuhai was restraining him.

By the time Li Xuan came back, the power of the mechanism had been fully formed, not to mention the dam behind it.

Then they fought to Dafeichuan...

Lun Qinling's cold eyes fell on Dazha Gonglu. He was his biggest misjudgment in this battle.

If he hadn't been able to cling to Li Xuan, there wouldn't be such big changes in this battle.

"Prime Minister, look." Dazha Gonglu felt Lun Qinling's eyes falling on him and immediately pointed to Xiaohuashi Gorge.

Lun Qinling turned around quickly, and then saw a familiar figure appearing on Xiaohuashi Gorge.

Also dressed in black and armor, but with an extremely tall figure, it was Li Xuan.

In just a moment, Li Xuan came back.

……

"My lord!"

In Xiaohuashi Gorge, Yan Tao looked at Li Xuan cautiously.

"Well!" Li Xuan paid attention to the situation in front of the Dahuashi Gorge Guancheng in the distance.

The raging torrent directly blocked the Tibetan cavalry who wanted to rush into the Dahuashi Gorge, and even forced them to retreat continuously.

"Your Majesty, did my subordinates let the water go too early?" Yan Tao asked Li Xuan anxiously.

"It's not that you released the water too early, you released it too late. It would be best if you could also block the Lun Qinling Mausoleum." Li Xuan turned around with a smile, glanced at the uneasy Yan Tao, then waved her hand and said: "Of course, that's the best situation. It's not bad now. You don't have to think about it."

Li Xuan knew what Yan Tao was worried about.

If he didn't let go, Li Xuan would have the chance to fight out now and directly attack Lun Qinling.

But similarly, Li Xuan will be directly torn to pieces by the Tubo cavalry who want to go home quickly.

"The current situation is just right." Li Xuan raised her hand and said with a cold expression: "Get ready, the soldiers will go out to fight."

"Here!" Yan Tao was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of joy, then he bowed solemnly and turned around to make arrangements.

Li Xuan raised her head, pressed her hands on the cold city wall, and fixed her fiery eyes on the Lun Qin Mausoleum on the opposite side of the Dahuashi Gorge.

After intercepting these [-] cavalrymen, Li Xuan no longer had to worry about taking them down the Dahuashixia Pass.

Without these ten thousand cavalry, Lun Qinling would have no choice but to flee.

But now, he is still standing on the city wall, just because he is sure that Li Xuan will not be able to attack for a while, but he has forgotten that [-]% of Li Xuan's men are Hangzhou soldiers.

……

The city gate of Xiaohuashi Gorge suddenly opened, and in an instant, countless rafts rushed out from Xiaohuashi Gorge along the extremely fast torrent.

Now at this time, the power of the torrent is much smaller than at the beginning.

Some Tibetan cavalry have already begun to try to forcibly cross the torrent, but unfortunately...

Countless crossbow arrows fell from the air at high speed, and the Tubo cavalry who was blocked on the other side of the torrent immediately fell to the ground.

The Tubo cavalry had just raised their arrows to counterattack, but behind them, the sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard.

Lun Qinling stood at the top of the city and looked at Li Xuan at Xiaohuashi Gorge opposite.

He understood that Li Xuan's move was not to kill people, but to completely delay them on the coast of Wuhai.

Lun Qinling turned his head and looked at the endless snow peaks to the west. He knew that there was the last retreat for his cavalry.

As for how many people can make it around the snow-capped mountains and fight back to Tibet alive in the end, it all depends on their own luck.

The flag was waved hastily, and the next moment, the Tibetan cavalry on the other side of the torrent rushed directly towards Wuhai City without any hesitation.

Some of them will stay and stick to Wuhai, while some will cross Wuhai and plunge directly into the vast snow peaks.After all, it's only mid-autumn now, so they still have a chance.

But if they could really go back through the vast snow-capped mountains, then why did Wang Xiaojie and the others never try it when they occupied Wuhai?
Not even Li Xuan thought about it.

It can be seen that the risks are huge.

Just as the Tubo people took action, a group of Tang soldiers appeared at the exit of the swamp.

Immediately, countless Tang soldiers were killed like a torrent.

Li Xuan, who was standing on the city wall, immediately got out of the city.

Soon, Li Xuan left Xiaohuashi Gorge under the escort of more than a dozen personal guards.

After a while, Liu Shenli, Li Xuan, Li Jinxing, Wang Xiaojie, Hei Te Changzhi, Li Duozuo and others had already met on the shore.

……

Standing on the side of the water flow that had weakened a lot, Liu Shenli turned around with a half-smile and said, "Did the King of Nanchang want to do this from the beginning?"

Li Xuan took a step forward, solemnly raised his hands and said: "Yes, when Xuan left Xiaohuashi Gorge, she once told General Yanlang to destroy the dam and release the water as soon as he had the chance... Although the dam has accumulated water all summer, to be honest, "It's OK to temporarily block the Tibetans' retreat, but it's too difficult to destroy them all at once."

There is only one road leading to Xiaohuashi Gorge in the snow-capped mountains, and there are other roads leading to Xinghai, Kuhai and other places.

Li Xuan and the others were able to block one road thanks to the terrain. It was unrealistic to block other roads on the battlefield.

And no matter how strong Sekisui is, all he can do is use his initial momentum to overwhelm his opponent, and then quickly pursue him.

Although the water rushing out of Xiaohuashi Gorge directly washed away nearly two thousand Tibetan cavalry, more cavalry were behind the north bank, stretching for a long time.

It is not easy to block the road, how can we still be greedy for more.

Liu Shenli nodded silently, then turned to ask: "That letter you mentioned before?"

As soon as these words came out of the letter, everyone around him suddenly became awe-struck.

In the current situation, there is no rush to pursue.

As long as they can capture Dahuashi Gorge, the Tubo cavalry will eventually fall into their hands even if they have a narrow escape from death and cross the snow-capped mountains.

To win the Dahuashi Gorge, we have to rely on the letter in Li Xuan's hand.

"Here." Li Xuan handed over the letter in his hand with a solemn expression.

Liu Shenli took it and unfolded it, and clear handwriting appeared in front of his eyes.

Killing without mercy, all sentient beings have roots.

"Killing on the battlefield is ruthless by nature, but all living beings are sentient, and all their roots are universal." Liu Shenli smiled softly and said, "I didn't expect that he was actually a Buddhist believer."

Li Xuan nodded and said: "At the beginning, Wu Xizha, the governor of Qingdong of Tubo, was defeated and committed suicide. Xuan sent people to send the body to Lanzhou, and Zuo Xiang ordered people to return the body to Tubo.

Dazha Gonglu was the younger brother of Wu Xizha, and Princess Bulu of Tubo... was now the biological brother of the Queen Mother.

After Xuan left Xiaohuashi Gorge, he only harassed her slightly and then made no more noise. "

"Young master, Guoyu, sincerely don't deceive me!" Liu Shenli turned around and looked at Dahuashi Gorge.

Today, at the top of the city of Dahuashi Gorge, Lun Qinling has disappeared. Naturally, no one knows where Dazha Gonglu is now.

"Please write a letter from the prince and send someone to deliver it to Daza Gonglu and tell Daza Gonglu.

This winter we will only attack the north bank of the Tongtian River, and the rest will be a matter of next year. "Liu Shenli said sideways.

Li Xuan immediately handed over his hand: "Here!"

Li Xuan immediately turned around and wrote a secret letter not far away.

On the other side, Liu Shenli began to arrange the pursuit and attack on the city, but at this time, no one was thinking about it.

Because they all understood that even if the letter written by Li Xuan could be delivered to Dazha Gonglu, it would not be hidden from Lun Qinling.

Dazha Gonglu only had a few soldiers. Even if Qin Ling lost his troops and generals, he still firmly controlled the army.

As soon as Li Xuan sends this letter, the news that Dazha Gonglu is involved with Li Xuan will probably be found out by Lun Qinling soon.

Then what's left is an internal strife.

Regarding Qinling, the most urgent need now is to find someone to be a scapegoat, and this scapegoat is undoubtedly Dazha Gonglu, who corresponded with Li Xuan.

But it happened that Dazha Gonglu was the uncle of the new ruler of Tubo and the biological brother of the Empress Dowager Lu.

Once he dies in the hands of Lun Qinling, the conflict between Lun Qinling and the royal family will definitely intensify.

Especially since Qin Ling still has to fight on the front line, it only takes 01:30 points of influence on the back line to attract his attention.

Next, he will shrink the front and retreat.

At this time, the letter sent by the Tang Dynasty to Dazha Gonglu would also fall into the hands of Lun Qinling.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty entered the north bank of Tongtian River and stopped.

When it comes to Qinling, I know it well.

Watching Liu Shenli check the letter he had written, Li Xuan said softly: "If that Dazha Gonglu was a smart man, he would immediately understand that now is the best time to kill Lun Qinling. Lun Qinling Once he dies, Lu will be able to take control of the government, and then he can use a winter to clean up the situation, and next year's battle will be next year."

Kill two birds with one stone.

Liu Shenli nodded gently and said: "If he is smart enough and capable enough, then Datang will help him. If he is incapable and does not even have the ability to survive in the hands of Lun Qinling, then Datang will help him." There’s no need for Don to bet on him.”

"Yes!" Li Xuan agreed, looking up at the Dahuashi Gorge opposite.

He knew that there, Lun Qinling and Dazha Gonglu were already at war with each other.

Now it depends on who takes action first.

Who will die.

Under the dark clouds, Dahuashi Gorge is peaceful.

But it’s bloody.
