I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Xue Rengui said directly: “The army that had been assigned to Tibet by the humble post has returned, and this time I came back with a full 100 carts of money. In addition, there is a treasure Jade, and the corresponding highland barley wine.”

While speaking, Xue Rengui handed a letter.

In the letter, everything about Tibet is recorded.

At that time, the general named Zuo Xianfeng, who Xue Rengui arranged to lead troops to Tibet, led three thousand elite escort weapons into Tibet. According to the original plan, Quci Zharen passed the book to Gongga, so that Gongga sent people to respond at the border to facilitate the handover of weapons.

By then, the Left Vanguard does not need to intervene in the situation.

The problem is that when Zuo Xianfeng entered Tibet, Gongga was unable to respond. In desperation, Zuo Xianfeng could only lead troops to Qiongba. Although there were obstacles along the way, three thousand in Zuo Xianfeng’s In front of soldiers and horses, they were all directly defeated like tofu.

When the three thousand elites from the left pioneer arrived at Qiongba, Gongga had already fallen into defeat at that time and the situation was extremely unfavorable. Zuo Xianfeng knows the situation in Tibet. If Tibet becomes chaotic, the better it will be for Du Qi. So Zuo Xianfeng without the slightest hesitation led the army to join the war and helped Gongga withstand the attack by Langrisongtsan.

With the army of the left vanguard, Gongga finally stabilized the situation and saved the decadent situation. Although Gongga retreated temporarily, at least he was not directly defeated by the army under Lang Ri Songtsan.

Gongga has the weapon provided by Zuo Xianfeng, and asks Zuo Xianfeng to lead his troops for help.

Zuo Xianfeng agreed.

With the help of Zuo Xianfeng, the army of Gongga and Longri Songtsan went to war. The two sides continued to fight. In the end, all parties suffered great losses. Jinbabu also stood up to support Gongga at this time. , So that Gongga’s strength increased and began to sweep the strength of Langri Songtsan.

Even so, it is still not easy.

When it was nearly October, Gongga finally destroyed Langri Songtsan, and also killed Shangnang and Songtsen Gampo, making Langri Songtsen this lineage completely wiped out in Tibet.

However, the power of this lineage of Gongga, the power of many old nobles has also been weakened to the extreme.

This is both sides suffer.

Since this fight, Tibet’s own strength will be impossible to recover in less than ten years.

Destruction is easy, but reconstruction is difficult.

This is the consequence of internal fighting, but for Gongga, he doesn’t care about it. As long as it is able to win and win the Tsenpo position, everything is worth it. Although Gongga said that he suffered huge losses in the battle with Lang Ri Songtsan, he immediately collected a lot of property and drinks, and personally sent Zuo Xianfeng away from Qiongba.

The army of the left vanguard was three thousand when they went.

More than 1,300 people came back.

One thousand seven hundred people were lost.

However, the results achieved are exceptionally rich.

After reading the contents of the letter, Du Qi applauded: “Yes, yes, this left pioneer is very courageous, and with 3,000 people, he can play Heaven and Earth in Tibet forcibly. Although the general plan is to promote the situation of both sides suffer. But it is really necessary to operate, but it is not easy. Zuo Xianfeng wants to do this, but it is not easy.”

Xue Rengui said:” Your Royal Highness, Zuo Xianfeng, although his name is not very good, but he likes to read, especially the military books. He is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also has a sense of strategy. He is in his early thirties, and it is the time to make merit.”

Du Qi smiled and said: “Left Xianfeng deserves to be commended. In that case, promote him as your lieutenant.”

“Thank You Your Highness.”

Xue Rengui became excited and was happy for Zuo Xianfeng. Zuo Xianfeng is the person Xue Rengui valued. That’s why he arranged for Zuo Xianfeng to go to Tibet. Now that he has come back from victory and won the award, he is naturally the best.

Du Qi waved his hand and said: “We don’t care about Tibet for the time being. You let Zuo Xianfeng return to the team, take a break, and do things in the army. Hou Junji confronts us, I guess it will be after the beginning of spring. There is a battle. So be ready to fight now.”

“Yes!”

Xue Rengui immediately responded.

After Xue Rengui retired, Du Qi just settled to read a book, and soldiers entered and reported: “His Royal Highness, a scribe came outside the barracks, saying that he came for the great cause of His Highness. This person claims to be Shangguan Yi, in his early twenties, his speech and manners seem very not simple, and his manners are out of the ordinary.”

Du Qi instructed: “Bring in.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers went to send orders.

Du Qi has some smiles in his eyes. Shangguan Yi is a well-known existence. He actually took the initiative to come to Western Regions, which is somewhat interesting. Shangguan Yi was born in the scholarly family. In Sui Dynasty, father was an official in Jiangdu. Because when Emperor Sui Yang was killed in Jiangdu, Shangguan Yi’s father, Shangguan Hong, was killed with him.

Shangguan Yi had escaped a catastrophe, but in order to avoid disaster, he became a monk. As a monk, Shangguan Yi never left his homework. On the one hand, he studied Buddhist classics, on the other hand, he also read poetry and books, and he was extremely knowledgeable.

After Great Tang was established, he regained his identity and ceased to be a monk. In the history of Shangguan Yi, through the imperial examination, he has made steady progress, and he can be regarded as an open existence.

It’s a pity that he was eventually killed because of his opposition to Wu Zetian. What Du Qi didn’t expect was that Shangguan Yi came to the Western Regions, a place where birds don’t shit.

Although Western Regions is where Du Qi is based, in fact, Du Qi still believes that this is not a true foothold. If Du Qi wants to build a grand vision, he must continue to expand westward and find a more suitable location as a foundation.

But right now, I can only live like this temporarily.

Shangguan Yi enters not long.

Shangguan Yi is wearing a down jacket and a large cloak. After all, the weather is too cold. He entered the camp, because coal burned to dissipate the chill, he took off the large cloak and down jacket, revealing the azure clothes inside.

Shangguan Yi stepped forward and stood still, folded his hands, bowed and said: “This Commoner Shangguan Yi, I have seen His Royal Highness Pingxi.”

Du Qi waved his hand and said: “Mr. Shangguan Please sit down.”

Shangguan Yi is now in his early twenties, which is similar to Du Qi’s age. However, Shangguan Yi is more bookish than Du Qi.

Shangguan Yi thanked Du Qi and took his seat, proactively said: “When I arrived at the border of Illinois at the beginning of the next year, I heard that the Imperial Court sent Gao Shilian to serve as the Anxi Admistrative Post governor, and Hou Junji led the army. Fifty thousand is here. For King Pingxi, this is a life-and-death crisis. A careless step is to lose all the game.”

Du Qi said with a slight smile: “Mr. Shangguan has a good eye. Right now Hou Junji is sitting on the border, and there is indeed such a situation. I don’t know, what strategy does Mr. Shangguan have to crack?”

Shangguan Yi believes in himself: “In this situation, I think King Pingxi has nothing else. The choice is to fight this battle, and to win this battle. If King Pingxi chooses to take a step back now, there will be more means to target you. Step back, step back, and ultimately become completely A bird in a cage. So now I can’t retreat one step, I can only move forward, not back.”

Du Qi said: “This king knows that he can’t retreat, so the key lies in how to break the enemy? It is known as one hundred thousand people, but the battle strength is actually insufficient. Mr. Shangguan thinks, what should I do?”

This is Du Qi deliberately hiding.

I want to test Shangguan Yi.

Shangguan Yi calmly and calmly said: “It may be easy for King Pingxi to hide from others, but it is impossible for King Pingxi to hide from me. Because I am in Yizhou and have already stayed. Most of the time.”

“For the past half year, I have been collecting news about King Pingxi, so King Pingxi said that the strength is less than 100,000, but it is hidden strength. In my opinion, your army is probably There are more than 100,000 people, and the strength is stronger.”

“Especially under King Pingxi, there is an arsenal that specializes in manufacturing new weapons. But this was moved from Yizhou to Gaochang Prefecture. I don’t know. What is this weapon, but when he was dealing with Turkic before, King Pingxi used such a weapon.”

“There are weapons that can burst the ground, or even more powerful. With this weapon, Hou Junji will be destroyed. The army, with no difficulty. As mentioned below, it is for the grand cause of King Pingxi, that is, now King Pingxi can’t retreat even one step, and can only move forward.”

Shangguan Yi said: “Pingxi What the king has to do is to show his weapon and take down Hou Junji and the crowd.”
