Chapter 252 Take down Tuyuhun!
Chapter 260 Take down Tuyuhun!

Li Guangbi smiled indifferently, glanced at Li Fuguo, and the gleam of disdain flashed away, and said softly, "The general dare not. Since Li Jianjun is ordered to patrol Hezhou, how dare the general refuse to follow? Come, arrange The residence of Jianjun Li, send a team of soldiers to guard the safety of Jianjun Li in Hezhou..."

After finishing speaking, Li Guangbi turned around and led Zhu Jiang to do whatever he wanted.

Li Fuguo was furious, but he didn't dare to attack in person. After all, in the army, if he really broke his face with Li Guangbi, he might not have any good fruit for him.

Although Li Fuguo was arrogant, he was not stupid.

He forbears Li Guangbi's disrespect.

On the day he came to Hezhou, he sent someone to send a secret memorial to Li Heng.It is nothing more than saying that Zhang Xuan formed a party in Longshuo for personal gain, and the generals of Longshuo did not listen to orders, disrespected the court, and disrespected His Royal Highness.

He suggested to the imperial court to remove Feng Changqing and Li Guangbi from their military posts and send them to Longshuo.At the same time, it is suggested to restore relations with Tubo and release the Tubo prince Chisong Dezan.

Li Fuguo stayed in Hezhou for three or four days, and he was very dissatisfied when he found that the Tang army on the front line of Hezhou was preparing for battle.In addition, the city and the outside of the city are full of Shanzhou Qinghai residents, who are intensively relocating, which is contrary to his government orders, and he is even more angry.

Li Guangbi avoided seeing him.Li Fuguo endured it for a few days, and finally couldn't take it anymore, and directly broke into Li Guangbi's handsome hall.

Li Guangbi was discussing matters with Zhang Xuan and others, when he suddenly saw Li Fuguo barging in, he frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Why did Superintendent Li break into the military tent...Is there something wrong?"

Li Fuguo said angrily, raised his finger and pointed at Li Guangbi, "Li Guangbi, you are so courageous! Our supervisory army is ordered to control the government affairs of Longshuo soldiers and horses. This supervisory army has issued two military orders to transfer you from Hezhou soldiers and horses to return to your original position." , why don't you respect orders?"

"You acted recklessly and assembled the army in Hezhou to prepare for war without authorization, intending to provoke a war between Tang and Tibetans. This is a capital crime. The army in charge has already reported to the imperial court, please the imperial court punish you!"

Li Guangbi smiled lightly, "Supervisor Li is seriously serious. I was ordered by the Commander-in-Chief Zhang to garrison the river and prepare the army for war. This is the command of the Commander-in-Chief. What should I do wrong? As for Supervisor Li's transfer order, please forgive me." This general will speak bluntly, you are not joking, what is the purpose of the military supervisor to change the order of the military governor without authorization?"

"This will be the general under the command of the governor, and I will only obey the orders of the governor."

"If the general remembers correctly, the imperial court ordered Li Jianjun to take over the military and government affairs of Longshuo temporarily while the governor is marching and Tubo is not in Longshuo... After all, Supervisor Li is not the governor, and he needs to be more self-respectful in his actions. Don't be a villain who can act recklessly and make someone look down on the supervising army!"

Li Fuguo became furious and trembling with anger, "Li Guangbi, how dare you disobey the imperial court's order! You only have Zhang Xuan in your eyes, you have no regard for the imperial court, and you don't respect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Supervisory Kingdom. This supervisory army will definitely send you a book from the imperial court!"

Li Fuguo's shrill and trembling voice echoed in the hall, and Li Guangbi glanced at him in disgust, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Superintendent wants to inflict crimes. There is nothing wrong with this! The general is busy with work. Do yourself a favor."

With trembling hands, Li Fuguo took out Li Heng's imperial edict from his bosom, held it high in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "The imperial court's order is here, how dare you disrespect it? The prison army ordered you to leave immediately and transfer the soldiers and horses from the river. Provoking a war between Tang and Tibet without authorization!"

"The imperial court did not order me to withdraw my troops. The governor ordered me to deploy defenses in Hezhou... Li Jianjun's order, please forgive me for not being able to obey, I'm sorry!"

Li Guangbi's voice was very cold and even more resolute.

Of course he was very determined, and his attitude towards Li Fuguo was also very bad.Because he had received a secret report from the soldiers sent by Zhang Xuan a day ago, knowing that Zhang Xuan was about to lead his army across Tubo and arrived at the outskirts of Tuyuhun's hometown.

He was ordered to regroup the army immediately, wait for Zhang Xuan's order, and march at any time to advance into the old place of Tuyuhun, annihilate the 8000 Tubo soldiers and horses left behind in the old place of Tuyuhun, and occupy the large territory of the old place of Tuyuhun!

Now that it's all over, Li Fuguo is still babbling, how can he give him a good face?

"Presumptuous, presumptuous! Li Guangbi, you are so presumptuous!" Li Fuguo stood in the hall and roared angrily, while Li Guangbi looked at him coldly.

If Li Fuguo hadn't been the supervising army appointed by the court, he would have taken him down long ago.

"You just jump around, wait for the governor to return from the Tubo class, and wait for a certain family and the governor to occupy the old place of Tuyuhun. This great achievement will be made... Let the governor go back and deal with you eunuch!" Li Guangbi He sneered in his heart, but his expression cheered up.

The civil strife in Tubo, the front line of the Tubo River has been withdrawn, and there are less than [-] people in Tuyuhun's hometown at this moment. With this strength, let alone Zhang Xuan and Li Guangbi's flanking attack, even if Li Guangbi unilaterally attacks, it can be undisputed. take it down!
The governor is really clever, brave and resourceful. He even led the army to stir up trouble in the territory of Tubo, played with the Tubo people, and created a gap in the hometown of Tuyuhun... Fan Weiye's success, a certain family's reputation Overshadowing Guo Ziyi, it is not difficult to add an official to the rank.When Li Guangbi thought of this, how could he not be excited.

Suddenly, a soldier's voice came from the door: "General, there is an urgent report!"

Li Guangbi was excited, turned his head and exchanged an excited look with Zhang Xun, suddenly got up and said in a deep voice, "Come in!"

Not long after, a heavy-duty military man with a suitcase on his back strode in.He clasped his fists to salute Li Guangbi, then looked around, hesitated a little, took out a secret letter from his pocket, and handed it to Li Guangbi.

Li Guangbi accepted the secret letter with some excitement, and the delicate handwriting of "Li Guangbi's personal letter" on the cover caught his eyes, and his hands couldn't help trembling.

The time has finally come to win the hometown of Tuyuhun, and the order of the governor of the capital has finally arrived!Li Guangbi had been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Li Guangbi, the commander-in-chief has arrived. I order you to lead the 4 troops to go out on September 23. You must arrive at the outer front line before noon on September 25. Make an attack at the time of You, and strive to end the battle at You Time and take the hometown of Tuyuhun! "

Zhang Xuan's handwriting is very elegant, especially the words "take down the hometown of Tuyuhun" are very vigorous and powerful, which shows his confidence and courage.

Li Guangbi laughed loudly, and then handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhang Xun.

Let's inspect Zhang, rejoice.

Li Guangbi ignored the existence of Li Fuguo, slapped the table suddenly, and said in a loud voice, "All generals listen to the order! Mobilize troops and horses, set off at five o'clock the next day, and go west to the hometown of Tuyuhun!"

Li Guangbi turned his head and looked at Zhang Xun and said with a smile, "Master Zhang, I will lead the army westward, and I will leave the matter of Hezhou and logistics defense to Master Zhang."

Li Guangbi's general Xiaowei and others suddenly agreed, and Li Fuguo's face changed greatly and he shouted, "Li Guangbi, do you really want to go your own way and resist the order of the imperial court? How dare you send troops to invade Tubo without authorization, this is a capital offense!"

Li Guangbi laughed, then withdrew his smile, and said gloomyly, "Supervisor Li, the last general acted on orders, what's his fault?"

"You...you are presumptuous, whose order do you obey? This supervisor..."

"This is the military order of Chief Governor Zhang. Who dares to disobey? Supervising Army Li, are you going to disobey the military order of Chief Governor?" Li Guangbi smiled coldly, his voice chilling and cold.

Li Fuguo was shocked suddenly, he looked at Li Guangbi with incredulous eyes: "Zhang...Zhang Xuan?"

Li Guangbi laughed and left, Zhang Xun and others also came out, leaving only Li Fuguo standing there alone, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was icy cold.

……

……

The real area ruled by Tuyuhun is quite large.At its peak, its territory stretched from today’s Longdong and Hexi in the east, Jiannan to the northwest, south to the south of Qinghai, west to Ruoqiang and Qiemo in the west, and connected to the Hexi Corridor across the Qilian Mountains in the north.

The "Tuyuhun Homeland" mentioned by Zhang Xuan refers to the Tuyuhun area in a narrow sense, which generally refers to a large river valley basin from the west of Hezhou to Doma, and northward to Qinghai Lake.This area is rich in water and grass, and the land is fertile, and it is mostly a grazing land for Tibetans.

In addition to the 8000 troops garrisoned by Tubo, there are also a few remnant small tribes of Tuyuhun, who have long been subject to Tubo.

Zhang Xuan led his army to Doma and directly cut off the Tuyuhun Tubo army's retreat.At the same time, Li Guangbi led 7 troops from Heyou to advance into Tuyuhun in great momentum. Under the joint attack of the two armies, [-] troops fought against the Tubo army with less than [-] troops and thousands of Tuyuhun tribe troops. There is no suspense.

Shenshi launched an attack, and the battle ended before Youshi, annihilating 8000 Tubo soldiers and horses, and captured more than [-] Tuyuhun tribes belonging to Tubo.

Tybuka City, the former capital of Tuyuhun, is also the military and political center where the Tubo people now rule the former land of Tuyuhun. It is the only existing city in this river valley basin, and it is actually quite large.

……

……

Clear and refreshing, the red sun is in the sky.

Zhang Xuan led his generals to the top of the Tebuka tower, overlooking the beautiful and fertile Tuyuhun Great Plains, feeling very comfortable.

After planning for so long, and with so much thought, he finally won this piece of land. This feat is enough for him to be engraved in the annals of history with his achievements in opening up territories.

Behind Zhang Xuan, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Lei Wanchun, Nan Jiyun and other generals in the army also looked very excited.

The clear wind blew over, Zhang Xuan smiled loudly, looked back at Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and the others, and waved, "Everyone, you have successfully captured the hometown of Tuyuhun, which is equivalent to four or five rivers, and our army is stationed here Immigrants, sticking to it for a long time, in time, will surely become an important gateway for the Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo."

"This Commander will go to the imperial court to set up the Hezhou Governor's Mansion here... Li Guangbi, you 4 people will give this Commander a firm hold on this place."

Li Guangbi cupped his fists respectfully and saluted, "The general will obey."

"Of course, this land is rich in water and grass, and it has always been a place for the Tubo people to graze and raise horses. Now that the Tubo people are in civil strife, they can't take care of this side for the time being, but if time passes, the Tubo people will definitely attack this place with large troops. Just because of you 4 people are basically untenable."

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, turned his head and raised his finger to point to the far end, "This commander intends to build a tall fortress on the outskirts of this area, linking up a line, and taking advantage of the advantages of the mountain and terrain to stop the Tubo cavalry. As long as you can hold on for a few days, I, Longshuo, Hexi, Jian Reinforcements from Nansan Township will arrive at a gallop, and the Tubo people will not be troubled."
