Chapter 933: Chang'an Empty City Plan

Just when the land of Chang'an and Gyeonggi was in chaos, Qin Jin led tens of thousands of Shenwu troops to Xinfeng in the northeast of Lishan. The reason why he stopped troops here was out of prudence, he was not in a hurry to meet the Tubo people, after all, there were many Tubo people, except for the Shang Xi Jie who attacked Feng Yi, there were still tens of thousands of people in Tubo. And the Shenwu Army can only mobilize 30,000 people to enter the customs, once they fight hard, even if they win, they will probably be a miserable victory. What's more, now that Tubo's vice-minister Yixi Wangbo has rebelled, wouldn't it be better to wait for the two prime ministers of Tubo to fight to the death first?

It was precisely because of this thought that Qin Jin did not receive the envoy sent by Yixi Wangbo for a long time. Although he did not meet him personally, he sent a military official to contact him to find out the specific intentions of Yixi Wangbo. After some general understanding, Qin Jin also knew what Yixi Wangbo was asking for, and there was not much deviation from his previous judgment.

Yixi Wangbo is nothing more than to unite with the Shenwu army to coerce Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie to withdraw from Chang'an, and even hand over the military power and return the government to Zampu. However, in Qin Jin's view, Yixi Wangbo is a little wishful thinking, who is Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie? After decades of ups and downs, how can he easily say defeat?

It is inevitable that a life-and-death war will break out between these two Tibetan prime ministers, even if these two people try their best to avoid the war and achieve their goals, Qin Jin must also provoke in the middle and force them to kill each other, otherwise for the Tang Dynasty, this elbow and armpit disease that has swelled into a problem in the heart will continue forever.

Holding back the envoy sent by Iki Wangbo, so that Iki Wangbo could not be sure of the position and intentions of the Shenwu Army in a short period of time, he could only be careful not to act rashly. In doing so, he is giving Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie the right opportunity, and he needs Yixi Wangbo to be an embarrassed collaborator, a collaborator who has been begging bitterly and may fall into a catastrophe without the Shenwu Army.

Otherwise, once it is done, will Yixi Wangbo turn his face, and the Shenwu army does not have an absolute superiority in strength to suppress these Tubo people, and the result is likely to be that the wolf was driven away in front, and the tiger was left behind.

Simply ignore the two envoys, so that they cannot complete their mission, and they cannot leave easily.

Of course, Qin Jin's plan was not limited to this, he sent a fast horse to send an order to Tian Chenghei that night, and the internal strife of the Tubo army was imminent, so it was necessary to organize all the private militias that could be mobilized and make a feint in the direction of Chang'an......

Tian Chengsi looked at the military letter sent by Qin Jin, and was secretly impressed in his heart, it turned out that Doctor Qin had already planned everything, and his previous series of actions were also highly consistent with Doctor Qin's military orders. He took 6,000 elites to the outskirts of Chang'an at night, and saw not only groups of people fleeing in groups, but also countless Tibetan soldiers and horses, these people did not seem to have any intention of chasing and killing the fleeing people, but only roared in the direction of north, south, east and west.

After two small encounters, Tian Chengsi felt that although the Tubo people looked in a hurry, they were still mobilized in an orderly manner, and it was far from the time to take advantage of the opportunity to pick up the cheap, so he dared to return to Changlepo after dawn.

"...... don't have to fight with the Tibetans, if the Tibetans attack, you can retreat......"

After Zhang Jie got the book in his hand, he read out aloud what he didn't understand.

"Since Doctor Qin asked us to get closer to Chang'an, why don't you engage the enemy? Blindly avoiding war is not a long-term solution!"

He is now eager to fight, and naturally hopes to become famous in a fight, and holding Dr. Qin's military book in his hand, his heart is even more inexplicably excited, indescribable, I only hope that after the first war, he can win the favor of Dr. Qin, and since then he has jumped on the high branches......

Tian Chenghe, as a veteran of battles for a long time, comprehended Qin Jin's intentions at the beginning of seeing the military book.

"It is the best policy to surrender the soldiers without a fight, and blindly brute force, shouting and shouting and killing may not be the best way. ”

Saying this, he looked at Zhang Jie with a little smile.

"Don't be impatient, now that the Tubo people are infighting, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and Yixi Wangbo, the two Tubo prime ministers, will have a big battle sooner or later, and before they can divide the victory or defeat, wouldn't it be disappointing for us to rush in?"

In fact, Zhang Jie is also concerned about chaos, he is not a stupid person, after Tian Chenghe's reminder, he immediately understood the beauty of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

"In that case, if we garrison our troops in Changlepo, wouldn't we divide the god of Yixi Wangpo......?

Tian Chengsi waved his hand and interrupted Zhang Jie's words.

"This is exactly what Doctor Qin intended, if Yixi Wangbo wins, will he still use our Shenwu Army?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jie slapped his forehead and suddenly smiled:

"What I said is that if Yixi Wangbo is defeated, he can only beg Doctor Qin and the Shenwu Army to ......"

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and the conversation changed again.

"Didn't the general take the opportunity to attack Chang'an at night?

Tian Chengsi naturally wanted to attack Chang'an, who didn't want to take away the immortal merit of the Ke Fujing Division, but the changes in Chang'an City made him uncertain, the gates were closed, and the Tubo banner was still planted at the head of the city, and it was obviously not possible to pick up cheap. can let him storm strongly, not to mention the dead and wounded militia, whether he can succeed or not is still between the two.

Moreover, now that there is a clear military order from Qin and Jin, Tian Chengsi did not hesitate anymore and gladly accepted the order.

Three poles in the sun, after using military food, Tian Chengsi once again led six thousand elites away from the direction of Chang'an, this time he still had to act with the camera, if he found that the Tubo soldiers were gradually chaotic, maybe he could take the opportunity to bite hard.

However, this time he was disappointed to find that there was no longer a single Tibetan soldier in the place he passed. Outside Chang'an City, except for a few corpses and domestic garbage everywhere, there is no living person, not even a living creature that can breathe, only the Tubo flag at the head of Chang'an City is still hunting.

Tian Chengsi smacked his chapped lips, and his throat was about to smoke after a rapid march, so he untied the cowhide water bag from his waist, poured it full, and raised his hand to wipe the remaining water stains on his cheeks. He was a little unwilling, it seemed that he had run away in vain today, Yixi Wangbo didn't know where he had gone, could it be that this deputy prime minister of Tubo was a vulnerable person?

Just as he was hesitating whether to evacuate, the scouts sent out before rushed back, it turned out that they had found the scene after the tragic battle outside the temporary bridge west of Chang'an, as for where both sides of the war had arrived at this time, they had to wait for further investigation.

After learning the news, Tian Chengsi suddenly felt a little confused, and he turned his head to look at Chang'an City, where the flag was erected high and he was waiting for it.

Tian Chengsi didn't know that on the opposite city wall, there was a pair of eyes staring at him tightly.

After a long time, Li Guangbi withdrew his gaze, and behind him stood a purple-robed nobleman, who had betrayed him honestly despite his efforts to calm himself down.

"Your Majesty, the people outside the city are in disarray, and although they are under the banner of the Shenwu Army, they look very suspicious. ”

The purple-robed nobleman is Li Chenghong, the son of heaven who was set up by Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie.

"Could it be that Da Yin means that those people outside the city who are flying the banner of the Shenwu Army are fakes?"

What Li Chenghong is afraid of is not only the soldiers and horses whose identities are forced into the city. Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie left very suddenly, almost overnight with the Tibetan army to withdraw from Chang'an City, as suddenly and hastily as these people came, so that he could not believe his ears when he received the report. It wasn't until Li Guangbi, who was appointed by him as Jing Zhaoyin, hurried to the Ten Princes' Mansion and asked him to preside over the situation that he believed that the Tubo people had indeed left.

However, the departure of the Tubo people brought Li Chenghong no ease and situation, and at the same time, an indescribable panic began to spread unscrupulously in his heart. Because of the dignity of the Son of Heaven, Li Chenghong couldn't take the initiative to talk to Li Guangbi about the things that were difficult to see in his heart, so he had to take Li Guangbi's suggestion with trepidation.

So far, Lee Kwang-pil is a person he can trust and has the ability to clean up the overall situation. This is also thanks to Mr. Du, who appeared mysteriously and has always been mysterious, otherwise at this moment, I am afraid that he can only flee or tie his hands.

Thinking wildly in his heart, his eyes inevitably collapsed, Li Guangbi didn't say anything, he only gently comforted a few words.

"At present, the only one who can save His Majesty is the Shenwu Army, and Doctor Qin has always led people to ...... lenient"

Li Chenghong spread his hands and smiled helplessly.

"If I had a choice, I would rather be a plain-headed commoner than the position of the Son of Heaven!"

Li Guangbi was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke again.

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't think about himself, you have to think about your children and grandchildren......"

Although this sentence was vague, how could Li Chenghong not understand the meaning of his words? His expression became more and more depressed, and he let out a long sigh.

"I only hate that I was born in the emperor's family, but I hope my children and grandchildren don't hate ......"

At this point, Li Chenghong suddenly choked up, so that the next words were difficult to speak.

The conversation between the two was listened to by the surrounding soldiers, and they were all shocked. The Son of Heaven and Jing Zhaoyin are both god-like figures for them, but today they look completely different from what they imagined, and they seem to be more pitiful than ordinary people.

To tell the truth, Li Chenghong still had some idea of self-reliance at the beginning of closing the city gate, but it was Li Guangbi who poured cold water on his head to dispel his idea. It's really unrealistic to think about it now, there weren't many Tang soldiers left in the city, and after the Tubo people suddenly withdrew, it was Li Guangbi who sent the officials of Jingzhao Mansion to recruit the scattered soldiers on his behalf, so he barely managed to gather people and control the gates of Chang'an. As for defending the city, it is completely a fool's dream, and with only a wave of strong attacks, these temporarily collected soldiers may have to be scattered.
