Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 528 Dry word plan (2)

"Report, Prime Minister, there is an urgent message from General Zanpo!"

In the gate tower of Funiuchuan Pass, Gar Qinling, who was only dressed in single clothes, bent over the large map with a dignified face, only to see the captain of his personal guard rushing in from outside, holding a bamboo tube in his hand , reported in a hurried tone.

"Oh?"

Hearing the sound, Gar Qinling suddenly raised his head, let out a soft grunt, stretched out his hand to take the bamboo tube, pulled off the cover, poured out a note from inside, spread it out, and just looked at it. , the brows frowned involuntarily, but they didn't say much. He casually put the note on the copywriting, and stretched out his hand to draw on the large map. The more gestures, the tighter the brows were. A few points.

"My lord, what happened?"

Seeing that Gar Qinling's expression was not right, the captain of the personal guard couldn't help but lose his temper, so he hurriedly asked.

"Well, the main force of the Tang army has been found."

Gar Qinling didn't look up, but just responded casually.

"Oh? Great, let's see where Tang Kou escapes this time!"

The captain of the personal guard was stunned for a moment, then became excited, clenched his fist and swung it vigorously, and squeezed out a harsh word from between his teeth.

"Southeast, uh, Mochou Mountain? Luoying Ridge? Ananda Mountain?"

Gar Qinling ignored the excitement of the captain of the personal guard, frowned and drew three lines on the map with his fingernails, muttering in his mouth, apparently quite puzzled by the whereabouts of the main force of the Hehuang Army.

"President, this is..."

The captain of the personal guard was originally very excited because he discovered the main force of the Tang army, but when he saw Gar Qinling, he was not only not excited, but his expression was extremely serious.

"It's okay, go, pass on the order of XX, and the leaders of all the tribes will immediately consult the people of the tribes, and they must find out whether there are trails leading to Hexi at the three places of Mochou Mountain, Luoying Mountain, and Ananda Mountain!"

Gar Qinling didn't explain much, but stood up abruptly, commanding with sharp eyes.

"No, the last general will do it!"

Although the captain of the personal guard didn't understand the meaning of Gar Qinling's order, he didn't dare to ask more questions, he respectfully agreed, and turned around to go to the layman.

"Slow down, order the various ministries to encircle the Tang bandits immediately and try their best to delay their progress. In addition, General Sita will send five thousand elite soldiers to go northward along the Qilian Mountains and be on standby at any time. Go!"

Before the captain of the personal guard raised his foot, Gar Qinling stopped calling, and gave two more orders in succession.

"promise!"

The captain of the personal guard memorized so many orders by heart, hurriedly bowed, turned around and rushed out of the city gate with big strides.

"Li Xian'er is making a fuss? Could it be that he wants to..."

Although Gar Qinling had issued several orders one after another, he thought that there was nothing wrong with his response, but the uneasiness in his heart did not diminish because of it, on the contrary, it became more intense A few minutes later, under the agitation, he couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly paced back and forth in the city gate building, muttering non-stop, but for a while, he couldn't guess what Li Xian's strategic intention was. where.

"Come on!"

Gar Qinling pondered over and over for a long time, but he still couldn't get it right, but the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger, and he didn't dare to ignore it, so he strode to the back of the copywriting, lifted the hem of his robe, Sitting down, he took out a piece of rice paper, picked up the pen and ink placed in the corner of the copy, and swiped the pen to write quickly without hesitation. He drank loudly.

"The end is here!"

The captain of the personal guard had already delivered the order, and was waiting outside the building at this moment. Hearing Gar Qinling's call, he didn't dare to delay a little bit, rushed into the building, and respectfully agreed.

"Jesong, there is a statement here for the truth. I will set off immediately and send it to Luoxie in person. Be sure to hand it over to Zanpu during the court meeting. In addition, go to inform Wangsong Wangzan before the court meeting. Please lend a helping hand, don't leak the news in advance, so be careful, go."

Gar Qinling clapped the notebook in his hand, frowned and thought about it for a while, before speaking out in a very serious manner.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, even if the last general dies, he will never dare to miss the trust of the Prime Minister."

The captain of the personal guard, Jie Song, has been with Gar Qinling for more than ten years, but he has never seen his master treat the court with such seriousness. Although he was in doubt, he didn't dare to ask more questions, just bowed his head , replied generously.

"Well, it's so good, be careful all the way."

Gar Qinling didn't say any more nonsense, and handed the playbook to Jiesong, and waved his hand to signal him to take it easy.

"Take care, Prime Minister, the future will go."

Jiesong carefully put the playbook into his arms, pressed it firmly with his hands, then bowed towards Gar Qinling, made a big salute, and without any further delay, strode out of the city gate building.

"I hope it can be done, alas..."

Although the matter has been explained, it is still difficult for Gar Qinling to calm down. After standing silently for a long time, he murmured a long sigh. Melancholy... "Your Highness, General Li He hastened to report!"

The big battle was imminent, and Li Xian didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest. Even though everything was well arranged, Li Xian still didn't dare to rest assured. He squatted in front of the sand table and repeated the whole "dry character plan" over and over again. He was chattering nonstop, and he was lost in thought, when he saw Zhang Mingwu hurriedly come out from behind the screen, holding a small brass pipe in his hand, rushed to Li Xian's side, and reported aloud.

"Where is the first brigade?"

Upon hearing that it was an urgent letter from Li He, Li Xian copied the small brass pipe into his hand without saying a word, and took out a secret letter full of words from it. Wrinkled, but didn't say much, but pondered for a while, and then asked a question.

"Returning to Your Highness, the forward has arrived at Qingshiling, and is expected to enter the mountain early in the morning."

Zhang Mingwu has a rough appearance, but he is actually a careful person. He has been serving as Li Xian's middle officer this time, and he is very hardworking. He answered casually.

"It's too slow, the order of Gu, the vanguard battalion will start immediately, and we must arrive at Luoying Ridge within three days!"

The operations of the first brigade were operating in full accordance with the schedule that Li Xian made in advance, and the speed was not too slow. However, Li Xian was not very satisfied, because the enemy's situation had changed—according to the scheduled plan, what Li He said The Ministry is responsible for attracting the enemy, that is, attracting the main force of the enemy to gather at Luoying Ridge, and the first brigade who sneaked to Luoying Ridge from the secret trail is responsible for responding, using the lethality of the firearms and the strength of Luoying Ridge. The geographical advantage of being unfavorable for defense consumes a lot of the Tubo army's vitality, and uses it to hold back the main force of the Tubo army, thus creating a favorable opportunity for Li Xian to gather the Hexi army to sweep Tuyuhun. As for Zhang Chen's army, there are other reasons The ingenious use of the strategy is based on Gar Qinling's eagerness to encircle the Hehuang army. The entire strategic plan is not ingenious, but because of ingenuity, there are many changing factors involved in it, and there are a few changes. It may involve the overall situation, and the key to this lies in the connection of time. Now the Tubo army has suddenly stepped up its encirclement and suppression of Li He's tribe, which made the Hehuang army dare not stay longer on the grassland. They could only go all out towards Luoying Ridge. In this way, the originally planned battle plan would have to be changed accordingly.

"promise!"

Seeing Li Xian's extremely dignified expression, Zhang Mingwu didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily answered, then left the study in a hurry, and went to pass the order without mentioning it.

"What does this old boy want to do? No, there is a problem, there is definitely a problem!"

Although the order had been given, Li Xian couldn't calm down, so he walked to the large sand table, squatted down, took out a small flag from the side, and stuck the flag on with a flick of his wrist The sand table unexpectedly synthesized the enemy's situation map reported by Li He and "Ming Di". Li Xian only took a cursory look, and felt that there seemed to be another mechanism in it, but he couldn't find the problem when he thought about it carefully. The key point, the brows could not help but frowned, and he muttered a few times in his mouth.

"It should be here, Luoyingling! Hey, what a Qinling old man, he reacted so quickly, yes, yes, it seems that he wants to play tricks with me again? Well, if you want to play, then play a big one All right!"

Annoyed, Li Xian waved his hand unconsciously, and accidentally knocked down a small flag planted in the Datong River Valley. Just as he was about to reach out to help, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he picked up the small flag casually. Moving in the direction of Luoying Ridge, I already deduced the location of Gar Qinling's calculation in my heart, and I couldn't help laughing, muttering a few words in my mouth, straightened up, and stood up straight He got up, stretched fiercely, and no longer cared about the deduction of the battle situation on the sand table, he strode out of the room with big strides.

In the main hall of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, dozens of generals above the guerrilla generals gathered together. Whether they were standing or sitting, they were different, but the only thing they had in common was that everyone had a serious face. Although there was a crowd in the room, there was no noise, and they all quietly waited for the arrival of the coach Li Xian.

"See Your Highness!"

As soon as they saw Li Xian coming out from the back hall, the generals didn't dare to neglect, they all stood up and bowed to greet each other.

"No!" Li Xian walked to the big seat in the middle without looking sideways, lifted the hem of his robe, sat down, raised his hand, and gave an order.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The generals thanked each other according to the proper etiquette, and returned to their original positions, waiting for Li Xian's order solemnly.

"My lords, my loneliness has been decided, and the Qianzi project will start immediately!"

Li Xian didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly announced the start of the conquest of Tubo. Although the words were plain, they lifted the spirits of all the generals, and the eyes that looked at Li Xian were full of burning desire.
