Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 464
Zhang Yi promised to wait a few days to see the battle situation before going back, Xu Jingzong was relieved.

In fact, all of this was made by Zhang Yi, and Xu Jingzong didn't want to take the blame.

Even, if they were able to defeat Tubo decisively, when His Majesty Li Er wanted to reward him for his merits, he also planned to give the credit to Zhang Yi.

It is really difficult to work with such a guy, thrilling, although resourceful, but always like to take risks.

Also, Xu Jingzong doesn't want to get in touch with Li Er too much now, and now he has realized what it means to be with a king like a tiger.

Especially after working with Zhang Yi, I feel even more deeply touched.

Li Er obviously didn't trust Zhang Yi, that's why he wanted to hand over the power to Xu Jingzong, but Xu Jingzong didn't have that much ability. If he couldn't complete the task, Li Er must remember it. It didn't do him any good.

So he would rather be a small official in the court in peace and stability like before, and he will not come out to mess with these when he is a lot of age, and just live in peace and stability for a lifetime.

He can be stable for a lifetime, and he can also accumulate a little network of contacts so that his children and grandchildren can be overshadowed by him, but if he comes out to do these big things, if he is not careful, things will go wrong, let alone his children and grandchildren will be overshadowed by him , he himself can't protect himself!
But now he is at ease.

Zhang Yi is a man with ideas, and he is more or less half of his father-in-law, so he must not harm himself.

Now they stay at the border and wait to see the situation of the battle. If the battle goes well, they can rush back to Chang'an smoothly.

If the battle doesn't go well, then he and Zhang Yi can stay and think of a way to make it up, at least not to defeat the Tang frontier army.

In recent years, Tubo has been harassing the Tang Dynasty. If the frontier army of the Tang Dynasty is defeated, the consequences will be very serious. The inflated Tubo may directly attack the exhausted Tang Empire.

But the current Datang Baiye has just flourished and is at the beginning of a prosperous age. If it is dragged into a war, it will not be a good thing for Datang.

After the two made up their minds, they rushed directly to the camp of the Datang frontier army. Their identities were enough to allow them to come and go freely in the barracks, and the generals of Datang were happy to have Zhang Yi come to help them.

The last time Li Jing defeated the Turks, Zhang Yi contributed a lot. Although Li Er didn't give him any rewards in the end, the members of their army spoke very highly of Zhang Yi.

Coupled with the existence of Cheng Chumo and others, Zhang Yi has a high reputation in the military system.

It can be said that even if Zhang Yi puts on the armor now, he will fight with those generals in all directions and they will not have any objections.

Well, if you really want to do that, Li Er probably won't be able to sit still in Chang'an, and he will definitely come over quickly. By then, Zhang Yi will really have nothing to say, so he won't do it.

And when they arrived at the Datang Frontier Army camp, the Datang Frontier Army had already launched an attack on Tubo.

Although the Tubo people expected that the Tang army would attack them, they didn't expect it to be so sudden, there was no news at all, and when they saw the densely packed Tang army on the plain, their legs went limp.

Thirty thousand Tang troops came overwhelmingly, and this was only the first batch of Tang troops. The Tang troops dispatched by Li Er had just arrived, and they hadn't had time to go into battle so soon.

But now on the border, the number of Tubo troops is less than [-], and the difference in numbers between the two sides is too great to fight at all.

It didn't take long for the Tubo army to be completely defeated. Everyone, including the Tubo army in other places, withdrew to Qingtang.

Qingtang is one of the most important cities in Tubo. It is the supply base of the Tubo army and one of the most important horse farms. Its strategic position is extremely important, so the Tibetans can't lose Qingtang no matter what.

All the troops on the Tubo border are rushing to Qingtang, and no one will be careless at this time.

Tang Jun and Tubo are bound to have a decisive battle in Qingtang, and this decisive battle will directly determine the trend of the war.

Tang Jun, who had been attacking fiercely, suddenly stopped the offensive after hitting Qingtang.

They are waiting, waiting for the follow-up reinforcements. Once the reinforcements arrive, they will directly surround Qingtang.

They are going to suffer now to see how effective the economic warfare that Zhang Yi and the others are carrying out during this period of time is.

Qingtang City, which is guarded by more than 2 Tubo troops, will suffer heavy losses if the Tang army storms it. However, if Zhang Yi and his economic warfare are effective, it will not take long before the entire Tubo will surrender without a fight.

More than 7 Tang troops rushed to the foot of Qingtang City one after another. Facing the three times as many Tang troops as their own, the Tubo general silently dismissed the idea of ​​going out to fight the Tang army now, and closed the city gate tightly to prevent it from defending.

Tang Jun's attack was so sudden that the whole country of Tubo was shocked.

Datang had just had a fight with the Turkic people, how long has passed, and they were able to spare so many troops to fight against them.

Wars are not just about fighting people, but also burning money. The Tang Dynasty has to fight so many battles a year. It seems that the Central Plains is really rich.

Those Tubo people never thought that they would lose. In their eyes, the Tang Empire was already at the end of its strength and would not survive for long.

And now they have figured out the number of Tang Jun.

But with 7 people, even Qingtang City is hard to swallow.

So the Tibetans began to dream of war.

All the nobles and lords voluntarily sent troops to assist the Tubo army. All of a sudden, troops from all over Tubo rushed to Qingtang.

No one knows the number of these Tubo troops, but it is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than 12. If you count the miscellaneous troops in the eyes of Tang people, it may be more than 15.

This is twice as much as Tang Jun!
Moreover, the Tubo people have the advantage of geographical advantage, and they are almost invincible. They have never been afraid of these Tang troops at all.

In their view, a big victory will soon be in their hands.

Wars are often accompanied by compensation, and the loser must pay the winner accordingly.

If Tubo can get this sum of compensation, then their national power will be stronger, while the Tang Empire is just the opposite. Certainly can't stand it.

At this time, the king of Tubo is already dreaming of becoming the overlord of one party, no, even the overlord of the world!
However, something they didn't expect will happen soon!
