Longyou area, Stone Fort City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this moment, the mountains outside the city were full of secret sentinels, the path leading to the mountain behind the stone castle city was also blocked, and the city walls were full of Tang soldiers wearing bright light armor, their expressions seemed not to be very relaxed, as if something had happened made them very nervous.

Shibao City, speaking of which, can be regarded as the most important military town on the border of the Tang Dynasty. However, after the city was occupied by the Tibetan army, they saw the importance of this important town and began to send heavy troops to defend it. After that, he used this place as an outpost position, and repeatedly sent troops to attack Longyou, Hexi and other places, which was regarded as a big trouble by Datang.

After that, Li Longji took advantage of the abundant national strength of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and began to secretly prepare for a military operation against Tibet.

In March of the 17th year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji saw that the time had come, and the grain and grass had already been prepared, so he ordered the then Shuofang Jiedu envoy, Li Wei, the king of Xin'an, to attack Shibao City, and at the same time the generals of the Longyou army also acted. At the military meeting, all the generals believed that the stone fort city was a long way to go, and that it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if it was attacked, I was afraid that the losses would be great. However, Li Wei believes that Shibao City is a big problem, and if he does not uproot it, Datang will be restless for a day.

After thinking about it, he boldly adopted the tactics of long-distance attack, drove straight in, and captured Shibao City when the Tubo army had no time to react, and the whole country was shaken. Li Longji was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he would recapture this important military town so easily, and soon rewarded the officers and soldiers of Shuofang and Longyou, and transferred Li Wei, the king of Xin'an, back to Chang'an. Set up the Zhenwu Army and garrison the Stone Fort City.

After that, although Tubo had the intention to attack Shibao City, because of the geographical advantages of Shibao City, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Tubo lost consecutive battles, coupled with domestic instability, so the young Zampu of Tubo wrote to ask for peace. Li Longji was happy to stop fighting, so he sent Princess Jincheng into Tibet, and in the twenty-first year of Kaiyuan, the two sides drew a boundary, and since then they have been peaceful.

It is precisely because of the cessation of the war for many years that the armament in the border pass area has been slightly relaxed, and the envoys of the towns and towns are not very good at military strategy, so the combat effectiveness of the border army has decreased slightly.

Shibao City is also like this, although it is an important border town, but the border soldiers stationed in the border pass had 5,000 Zhenwu troops in the early years, but now they have been transferred a lot, only one Lang general led 2,000 Zhenwu troops to garrison, which can be said to be extremely dangerous. However, these garrisons were far away from home all the year round, and the calm of Tibet made them a little tired, and their armaments were also slackened.

The garrison Lang General is named Huo Dingyuan, who was originally a soldier and horse envoy in Shuofang's Ningwu Army, but because he offended Shuofang's big shots, he was relegated to this desolate stone castle city, although he was dissatisfied, but he was helpless, he simply didn't care about anything, and handed over the armaments to the captains and team members below, and he spent all day drinking in the room with a few Hu Niang he raised. Although his subordinates are dissatisfied, they are helpless, you must know that he is a general, in fact, it stands to reason that a general can take on the defense of Shibao City, which shows his dissatisfaction.

However, even if he was a waste of wood, he had to leave those Hu Niang aside at the moment, because things started to go wrong.

Shibao City has always set up a secret post in the area of Dafeichuan, but he received a report from the secret post half a month ago, Tubo raised 40,000 troops and stationed in Dafeichuan, and the secret post in Shibao City could only retreat. He didn't expect that after four years since the armistice, Tubo would dare to raise troops in Dafeichuan, and he also knew that this might be due to Princess Jincheng's death last year, but he didn't expect that Tubo Zampu would be so bold and reckless, and dare to raise troops in Dafeichuan after four years.

Even if he looks lazy and lazy on weekdays, now he has to cheer up the spirit, after all, he is a general, and if he can do this military position, I have to say that he has to have some means.

However, even so, a few days ago, there was still an incident that made him extremely shameful.

A few days ago, there were actually members of the Demon Sect who came from the Dafei River along the mountain behind Shibao City, and it stands to reason that the imperial court has always been extremely shameful of the Demon Sect and has been suppressing it in various ways. In the past, there were often demon sect members who came to borrow the Tao and go to the Central Plains, but they were all sent away, and he originally wanted to expel them directly, but who knew that there was a messenger from their Great Bright Palace in their team, only to see him wave his hand and split the heavy city gate, and directly led the sect members to swagger across the main road, through the stone castle city to Longyou. More than 2,000 people in the city looked at each other, and no one dared to move!

But this is not to blame them, after all, people in that realm are no longer what ordinary people can imagine, I am afraid that this time the royal family will have to come forward and ask Shushan to take action, but that is none of their business, now their great enemy is Tubo, not the ethereal Great Light Palace.

He also knew very well that if Shibao City was lost in his hands, he would probably have to bear the infamy of the ages, just like the second general Wang Li a few years ago, and there are still ballads that ridicule him among the children of Shuofang Longyou. Thinking of this, he was a little afraid, and hurriedly began to step up the training of soldiers, if the stone castle city was really lost, then he would have to become the same fate as those two? Not only will he be beheaded, but I am afraid that he will have to be left with a stench for ten thousand years.

However, at this moment, Tubo only raised 40,000 troops to settle in Dafeichuan, and in his eyes, although he was a little cautious, he didn't take it too seriously. With the danger of the terrain of Shibao City, even if Tubo sent 100,000 troops, but there was only one way up the mountain, they were helpless, thinking that Tubo had repeatedly sent troops, but tens of thousands of male soldiers were finally stopped under Shibao City by 6,000 Zhenwu troops.

Although there are only 2,000 of them left, and there are still some weak people, the Tibetans only send 40,000 troops, and they are enough to stop them by virtue of their geographical advantages.

However, he had always had a bad premonition in his heart, although he didn't know where it came from.

The 40,000 Tibetan army, although shocking enough, could not capture Shibao City. Since they knew that they would not be able to capture Shibao City, why did they still come? Could it be that there was some conspiracy? Moreover, with the national strength of Tibet, I am afraid that there are more than 40,000 elite soldiers, and what about those others? He knows that Tubo Zampu has been raising troops on a large scale over the years, and there are definitely not only 40,000 people.

"Report-" A shout woke him up from his thoughts, and now every military situation was very important, and he hurriedly called the scout in, and asked, "What is the situation now?"

......The scout's face looked bad, a little distracted.

His heart also chuckled, and he knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly shouted, "What the hell is going on!"

"General Hui, Tubo sent 100,000 troops from another road in the country and captured the Jiuqu region!" shouted the scout.

Huo Dingyuan heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground with a snap and shattered, the Jiuqu region, speaking of which, is closer to Shibao City than Dafeichuan, but it is connected to Tubo and Hexi, and it has not been under his jurisdiction. Who knew that today's Tubo Ming was stationed in Dafeichuan, but in fact it captured Jiuqu!

"This side is going to change. Huo Dingyuan muttered.
