Chapter 505 Tubo’s plan

The Tibetan envoys headed towards Xianyang, but Lingbao's report was rushed eight hundred miles away, and the information was delivered to Liu Hua immediately. After reading it, Liu Hua sneered: "How dare you touch my big man, just a small barbarian country?" Tiger Beard!”

"Sage, I will lead the Han army and teach this small barbarian country a lesson so that it will know how powerful my Han is!"

At this time, Han Xin, as the Minister of War, was the first to stand up and speak.

Following Han Xin's words, the generals jumped out one after another. Relatively speaking, the generals had just calmed down the troubled times, and they were full of martial virtues, and they were not afraid of anyone in the war.

The most important thing is that Liu Hua himself is the one who can fight best. Even military gods like Han Xin have ended safely. What else does he have to worry about? If there is a battle, it is not necessary to accumulate merits. The main battle must begin. Do it!

As for the civil servants, at this time, they did not jump out and say no, let the princess and the bride seek peace.

Again, today's big men don't have princesses at all, so there is no chance for the princess to get married.

Even if there is a princess, she will basically be betrothed to a powerful country that surrenders to the big man. It is impossible for a small country to provoke a small country and the big man will send the princess over to get married.

At least Tubo must first express its surrender, and at the same time, it has the strength that the Han Dynasty cannot underestimate, and is an important force in stabilizing the southwest. Only then can the Han Dynasty choose to marry and control Tubo to ensure the stability of the Han Dynasty's surrounding environment.

"Let Liu Yu, King of Shu, be the commander-in-chief, and Xie Xuan and Liu Laozhi be the deputy generals. They will supervise the attack with fifty thousand infantry and cavalry!"

Even if Yang Jian and Tan Daoji were not there, there would still be Pang Tong, Wang Zhene and others, and it happened that Xie Xuan had switched defenses with Zhou Yafu not long ago, giving Xie Xuan a chance to make meritorious deeds.

Then, with King Liu Yu of Shu as the commander-in-chief, Xie Xuan and Wang Zhen'e as deputy generals, and Pang Tong and Fazheng as military advisors, they began to support Songzhou at an extremely fast speed.

At least this lineup is used to deal with the Tibetan army. To be honest, at least in Zhang Liang's view, it is a overkill!
Soon, as Liu Hua's order was issued, Fang Xuanling quickly raised food and grass and planned the marching route.

Liu Hua also wanted to see if the combination of the two generations of Beifu troops, Xie Xuan and Liu Yu, would produce stronger power. He nodded and said, "Since you know the key points, then follow Liu Yu to fight against this small Tubo country. Don’t let me lose my majesty as a big man!”

Xie Xuan couldn't help but clenched his fists, suppressed his excitement and said, "Your Majesty has ordered, Youdu will do his best!"

Therefore, Wang Zhen'e, Zhang Ren, Yan Yan, etc. are the generals of the Shu army. They are already coordinated with Liu Yu as the core. Xie Xuan is considered the supervisor of the army, and there are fierce generals like Liu Laozhi and the Beifu Army under his command. Strong army.

As for the Tubo envoy, he was sent back by Liu Hua before he even had time to come to Xianyang.

But the reality is that these people were given to Liu Yu. Liu Yu could command, but these generals in the army could not be so easy to manage.

Xie Xuan knew that this was his opportunity. He had missed the Great War in the Central Plains, and he didn’t know how long it would take to become a marquis like Han Xin and Wei Qing.
After all, he has Liu Hua's younger brother, King of Shu Liu Yu, as well as military elites such as Wang Zhene, Zhang Ren, and Yan Yan. Of course, the best ones would be Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Yuchi Gong, etc.

Liu Hua glanced at Han Xin and said that letting Han Xin lead the army was just killing a chicken with a knife, and the Han Imperial Guards had not been trained yet. There was no need to let Han Xin go to Shu. Liu Yu's ability was enough to deal with Tubo.

At this moment, the Han expressed to Tubo that if he wanted to fight, then fight, and directly drove the Tubo envoy back to Tubo.

"I was sent back by the Han envoy before I saw the Emperor of Han!" The Tibetan envoy reported to Songtsen Gampo after returning, "However, according to the information I heard, the Han sent Liu Yu, King of Shu, as commander, commanding fifty thousand men. The army is coming to recruit Songpan!"

"Fifty thousand?" Songtsen Gampo heard this and turned to Lu Dongtsen and said, "After we leave, you will confront the Han army here in the name of an army of half a million people!" "As ordered! !" Lu Dongzan agreed after hearing Songtsen Gampo's words, but Lu Dongzan was confused and asked, "How many troops are Zampo going to lead to Qinghai this time?"

"There are only three thousand Han defenders in Qinghai, and I should be able to wipe out the Han army with one hundred thousand people!" Songtsen Gampo said confidently.

"Three hundred thousand!" At this time, Trisang Yangdun, who was on the side, solemnly said to Songtsen Gampo.

"Is this... maybe there are too many of them?" Songtsen Gampo heard Chisang Yangdun's words and said with some doubts, "Dongtsen needs to face the main force of the Han army this time. Just giving him 200,000 people is really enough. ?”

Chisang Yangdun said seriously: "Zanpu, these days, I have been collecting intelligence about Beiliang in Xihai County.

The governor of Xihai County is good at raising horses, and has many good relations with the surrounding Qiang people. If we are discovered when we enter Xihai County, then he is likely to ask Tuyuhun or other foreigners for help.

Even if the two of them join forces, it's not scary, but they are afraid of being held back by them. But as long as the Han discovers our purpose and sends troops to support Qinghai, our ultimate goal will fall short. If I weren't afraid that 200,000 men wouldn't be enough to hold back the main force of the Han army, I'd be afraid that even 100,000 troops wouldn't be left for Dongzan! "

"I understand!" Songtsen Gampo came over and patted Lu Dongzan and said, "Dongzan, I leave this to you. I will lead 300,000 people to attack Xihai County directly. When you hear the news of my victory, you Then we can arrange a retreat!”

"Yes!" Lu Dongzan saluted Songtsan Gambo. Although he was burdened with a heavy burden, Lu Dongzan also wanted to challenge the strength of the Beiliang generals!

Tubo is now in a special period of transition from clan tribes to slave feudalism. To a certain extent, the essence is no different from that of certain tribes and peoples on the grassland who rose to prominence because of strong men descended from heaven.

Therefore, even if they go to war at this time, they are still dragging their families with them.

The 200,000 and 500,000 troops they talked about were indeed so many people, but it did not mean that so many people were soldiers.

A large number of them are responsible for herding cattle and handling various chores.

If the war is won and these people are allowed to rob, then there is no problem for this army to say that it has so many troops.

Just like this, when this kind of organization moves collectively, it will appear a bit bloated and slow.

Because Songpan only needs to lock the news about Huang Shengguan, coupled with the language barrier, and the Tang army did not expect Tubo to be so sincere, the army of 500,000 actually said that it was 500,000, and it was not like those other aliens. , there are millions of troops at every turn!
So even if it was discovered that Lu Dongzan led an army of 200,000 to block Pansong, and was later blown up to an army of 500,000, this was a matter of course in Lingbao's view.

Anyway, I can just sit back and wait for reinforcements from the big man.

This prevented the Han army on Pan Song's side from receiving the news that Tibet had divided its troops.

But Wang Xuance of Xihai County immediately received the news that the Tibetan army was dividing its troops, and a large part of the army was coming this way.

In fact, Wang Xuance did not send scouts to find out about Tibet.

It's just that at key intersections such as Wuhai Dajishikou and other places, there are Dongnu Kingdom, Bailan Kingdom, Dangxiang, and even some Tuyuhun people dragging their families and various livestock and starting to escape to Xihai County.
