My wife is Wu Zetian

The captain of the guard came to Li Daosan's side, his eyes full of solemnity.

"What's wrong? What tail?"

Hearing the words of the guard chief, Li Daosan also frowned.

"There seem to be dozens of small boats following us. I suspect they are Japanese bandits!"

The captain of the guard directly stated what he was worried about.

"The bandits of the Japanese country are also Japanese pirates!"

Li Daosan sneered. He had known for a long time that there might not be any problems the first time he came, but someone would definitely be jealous the second time he came.

After all, he has brought such great benefits, how could no one care about him?

"That's true if you say that. What should we do now?"

The captain of the guard looked at Li Daosan being so calm and wondered where he got the courage.

But there are no good people who have anything to do with bandits.

"Then why do you think I brought so many people here this time, even if I have to pack less goods? Isn't it just to guard against these people?

All the ships were ordered to stop temporarily and line up in a row, with all the small boats behind the big ship.

When the enemy comes, I will kill them. After defeating them, I will release the boat to pursue them.

If we don't give them a taste of their strength, these bandits will definitely come in a steady stream. "

Li Daosan's face was full of murderous intent. He was already prepared to be targeted by the bandits this time.

So this time, there are more than a thousand people on board more than 20 ships at sea. If the sailors who operate the ships are included, the number of people they can use for combat is almost 2,000.

It's not that easy to eat him with such a force.

"Then why don't you let the fleet continue to move forward, but instead fight where you are?"

Although there are indeed many people preparing for Li Daosan, why not go to the front and take a look first.

"Who knows what the situation is going to be like in the front. If those Japanese pirates set up an ambush in the front, wouldn't we have to face attacks from both front and back?

Rather than being attacked rashly by the other party, it is better to wipe out the bandits behind you first and then return to the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Daosan smiled. Although he was just a weak scholar, he was not a fool who knew nothing.

Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative and attack.

"Zhang Wei is convinced!"

After hearing Li Daosan's analysis, the captain of the guard couldn't help but look at him with admiration.

He had always thought that the other party was only capable of drinking flower wine besides surveying and mapping. Now that he saw it, Li Siwen really made the right choice in choosing him as the envoy.

“You’re done, why don’t you go quickly.”

"Here!"

Soon according to Li Daosan's instructions, the fleet began to form a long snake formation, with the big ship in front and the small ship behind.

There are also archers all over the boat, lighting arrows, just waiting for the Japanese pirates to come.

"Those Tang ships didn't run away? Haha, follow me and kill them!"

The Japanese pirates chasing behind also got the news of the stop of the big ship immediately, and then they also showed ferocity and rushed forward.

When the Japanese pirates arrived at the front of the fleet and looked at the long snake formation, they couldn't help but be stunned.

But when they thought about the gold on the ship, these Japanese pirates killed them immediately.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing the Japanese pirates coming to kill, Zhang Wei also gave an order.

In an instant, rockets were flying. The Japanese pirates at the front suffered heavy losses, and several ships also turned into fire ships.

But this obviously did not scare the Japanese pirates. They were originally desperadoes, but now faced with the temptation of gold, they were not afraid of risks and continued to charge forward.

The two sides were also going back and forth, and they were just killing each other.

Li Daosan and his team had a tall ship and many archers, so it was difficult for the Japanese pirates to achieve any results even if they got to the side of the ship.

Soon after destroying more than 20 ships, the Japanese pirates finally became afraid and began to retreat back.

"Let the boats give chase, don't let them get away."

Seeing the Japanese pirates retreating, Li Daosan also quickly ordered the boat to attack.

The small boat that was ambushing behind the ship rushed out from behind the ship immediately after hearing this, and killed the defeated Japanese pirates.

Those Japanese pirates now have no fighting spirit at all, and they have no resistance at all when facing the Tang army's pursuit.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly. In the end, only a dozen small boats fled in panic.

"Set sail and keep moving forward!"

Li Daosan gave the order and ordered the ship to rush into the distance again.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Just in front of Li Daosan, dozens of small boats were waiting there.

This is also thanks to Li Daosan not continuing to move forward just now, otherwise he would inevitably be attacked from both sides.

Now that they have learned from the past, these Japanese pirates have no power to fight back when facing Li Daosan's fleet.

The final result was that except for a dozen small boats that escaped, the rest were annihilated.

After capturing all the Japanese pirates, Li Daosan's fleet happily headed towards the Tang Dynasty.

After three months, Tubo finally gathered an army of 400,000 and began to attack Jishi Mountain.

At the same time, the 100,000 vanguards of Datang's 250,000-strong army also rushed to the Jishi Mountain area and were preparing for training to adapt to the plateau climate.

Along the way, Lu Dongzan was also on guard, because he had long known that the Tang Dynasty had a magical weapon that could blast the sky, so he was afraid of running into trouble again.

What was supposed to be a ten-day journey ended up taking more than twenty days before we arrived at Jishi Pass in Jishi Mountain.

After such a long period of training, the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have long adapted to the characteristics of the plateau climate.

With them as the defense hub and the help of tens of thousands of Tuhun Valley soldiers, Su Dingfang was fully confident that he could block the enemy's attack. “General, won’t you lead your troops to attack them this time?”

When he heard that Tubo was sending troops, Chen Qi looked at Su Dingfang and frowned.

“Some things can be done over and over again, but not over and over again.

Now the Tubo people must be ready to be attacked. If we kill them again, wouldn't we be falling into a trap? "

Su Dingfang is depressed. You are still a partial general. You don't even know this bit of common sense?

One trick can sometimes be used all over the world, but it is not suitable for military use.

The enemy will not be stupid enough to wait for them to bomb or sneak attack. Moreover, they have sent hundreds of thousands of troops this time, and their own cavalry is only more than 30,000 in full force.

Thirty thousand people go to sneak attack an army of 400,000 people. As long as they have a clear mind, they will not do these stupid things.

"Are we going to defend Jishi Pass? What I mean is that since the cavalry is useless to defend the city, it is better to go out and harass the Tibetan people's food roads."

Chen Hu glanced at Su Dingfang and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Do you know how many Tubo cavalry there are? Tens of thousands of cavalry.

If you take these cavalry to fight the enemy in the field, even if you exchange one for two, we will lose.

Guard Jishi Mountain and wait for the army to arrive. This is what we should do most now! "

Su Dingfang shook his head. What they had to do in the current situation was to hold on.

As long as the Tibetans cannot take Jishi Pass, there is no need to push them back.

"I just don't know how long they will have to stay there. It will take at least three months for them to fully adapt to the climate here."

Chen Hu was depressed. His people had arrived, but the plateau climate was difficult to adapt to.

Time, what they need most now is time.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, Jishi Pass can't be lost."

Su Dingfang smiled. It was just defending the city. What he said would not be the same as anyone else.

"hope so!"

The defenders at Jishi Pass were also actively preparing for war, and finally Lu Dongzan's Tibetan army came to the city.

Looking at Jishi Pass which had been reinforced again, Lu Dongzan felt that his brain was aching.

This city, I was also blinded by lard, why was it built so solidly in the first place.

You really shot yourself in the foot.

"Su Dingfang, come out and speak!"

Lu Dongzan rode his horse forward and appeared directly under the pass.

"Lu Dongzan, farewell to Chang'an. Are you well?"

Su Dingfang also knew Lu Dongzan and answered him directly on the city wall.

"Su Dingfang, we, the Tubos, have never treated the Tang Dynasty badly. This Tuhun Valley is our worldly enemy of the Tubos. It is only natural and right for us to attack it.

Why did the Tang Dynasty start a full-scale war with Tubo over a small Tuhun Valley? "

Lu Dongzan also raised his whip and shouted loudly at Su Dingfang.

"Lu Dongzan, Tuhun Valley is a vassal state of my country, the Tang Dynasty. Your attack on the Tuhun Valley is tantamount to war with my country, the Tang Dynasty. Do you have any objections if I send troops here?"

Su Dingfang sneered. He couldn't beat him and started to reason, right?

But to be fair, you are also the invaders, so it simply cannot stand.

"Even if what you said is correct, this Jishi Mountain is my Tubo territory. What do you mean by occupying it now?

Do you really want to fight Tibet until death?

Now if you are willing to give up Jishi Mountain and return to the Tuhun Valley, I am willing to negotiate peace with Datang on behalf of Tubo.

The two countries have agreed on an alliance, and Tubo will never invade the Tuhun Valley again. How about that? "

To be honest, Tubo is not yet ready for a full-scale war with the Tang Dynasty. They still need time, they still need to accumulate strength, and the most important thing is that they still need to wait for an opportunity.

If the other party is really willing to withdraw its troops and return to Tuhun Valley now, then he will still be happy to reach a settlement with the other party.

After all, if the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty really adapted to the climate of Tubo, it would be the end for Tubo.

"Never invade Tuhun Valley even half a step? Are you telling the truth? Will you Zamp agree?"

Su Dingfang glanced at Lu Dongzan at the foot of the city, his eyes filled with chills.

"As the Prime Minister of Tibet, Zanpu will definitely agree to my suggestion and withdraw the troops.

Tubo and Tang should not be in opposition. We should maintain peace, otherwise the people of both countries will suffer disaster. "

Lu Dongzan nodded at Su Dingfang and asked Su Dingfang to retreat.

“This matter is of great importance and cannot be decided by me, a little general.

If you are really interested in peace talks, then retreat thirty miles now and set up camp there. I will immediately fly to report to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. "

Su Dingfang also nodded to the other party and directly asked the other party to withdraw their troops first.

As for Pegasus telling the emperor, that was impossible.

Tubo is a fierce tiger, and now is the best time to destroy it.

If this continues, it will be impossible to capture Tubo.

"You're not trying to trick me, are you?"

Hearing Su Dingfang's words, Lu Dongzan also frowned.

Not because of anything else, just because of a feeling.

This Su Dingfang is a general. How can a general not want to win military glory in a big battle?

If there was peace in the world, how could generals like Su Dingfang be promoted, and how could he get the position of Duke of the country?

"If you can't trust me, you can send your own envoy to Chang'an to meet with me, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

However, this presupposes that the two sides have not officially started a war. Otherwise, if the weapons are together, it will not be so easy for Tibet to stop the war and cease its troops. "
