In the camp where the Tang army was stationed, Li Ke held the letter he had just received, looked at the smiling face painted on the letter bag and smiled. This letter is as heavy as the previous one, I wonder how many poems this girl has written this time to express her lovesickness?

Gently opening the envelope, it turned out to be a painting, crimson flowers blooming enchantingly on the branches and leaves, and the flowers and leaves were crowded without revealing a single gap. "The hibiscus at home has been opened, but if I don't have you to accompany me, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will lose its color. I'm afraid that the hibiscus flowering period will have passed when you come back, so I will draw it down for you to see, so that we can enjoy it together! Hey, aren't they beautiful! Everything is fine at home, don't remember me outside, fight with peace of mind, you must protect yourself well for our home, I am waiting for you to come back safely at home! Miss you! ”

"Home" is such a warm word, Li Ke gently rubbed the crooked handwriting with his fingers, infinitely warm.

A soldier announced. "Your Highness, General Niu asks to see you!"

Li Ke hurriedly put the letter paper into the envelope and said, "Please!"

Niu Jinda quickly entered the tent and saluted simply. "See Your Highness!"

Li Ke waved his hand. "General Niu is exempt!"

Niu Jinda was straightforward, and when he saw the letter bag on the side, he couldn't help asking. "Your Highness has a letter from home! Is it a princess? ”

Li Ke smiled and said, "General Niu is smiling!"

"Where, His Royal Highness and the princess are so affectionate, it can be said that they are envious of others, and the last general inevitably thinks of the lady at home, who is out on the expedition all the year round, and she is the most bitter!" Niu Jinda mentioned his wife's resolute face, and began to soften.

Li Ke smiled and asked, "Hehe, what is General Niu looking for this king?"

General Niu said: "The Tubo army has been attacking Songzhou City for more than ten days, and if it continues, I am afraid that Songzhou City will be breached." The morale of the Tibetan army was high at this time, and the Tibetan Zampu was even more arrogant, and the emperor was furious and ordered to retreat the enemy army within ten days. We are the forward force, and the offensive is imperative. It's just that the main forces of our army have not yet arrived, and the enemy army has as many as 200,000 troops, and it may be difficult to attack hard. ”

Li Ke analyzed: "The terrain of Songzhou is dangerous, and our army has no experience in plateau operations. What's more, the enemy is outnumbered, and it is not good for our army to fight hard. Although the Tibetan army was brave, it had previously attacked a Songzhou city with less than 10,000 defenders with 200,000 troops, but it failed to capture it for more than 10 days. Although our army is now less than 50,000 men, as long as we use good strategy, it is not completely impossible to win. ”

General Niu nodded hurriedly and asked again, "Does Your Highness have a good plan?"

Li Ke unfolded the map, planned the marching strategy, and said: "The enemy army will win the attack on Tuyuhun in the season, and the city of Songzhou is about to be breached, at this time the enemy army will be proud, pride will paralyze people and slack off, slack is the best opportunity for our army." This is still more than ten miles away from the enemy camp under Songzhou City, and our army rushed to Songzhou City tonight and took advantage of the darkness to attack in two ways. Some of the light and agile soldiers from the army were selected as the marchers, and this group drove in from the city gates at night when the enemy was asleep, carrying unlit torches. Another group of men and horses lay in ambush on the left, right, and rear sides of the enemy camp. After entering the enemy camp, the people who drove in before first carried out a secret attack, and secretly killed as many as they could. When the enemy is alarmed, he immediately lights the torch and sets fire to his camp, and the enemy will retreat to the left, right, and rear in a panic in order to extinguish the fire. Even if the two groups of people and Mali cooperate with the outside world, even if they cannot win completely, they will inflict heavy losses on the Tubo army, and they can buy enough time for the arrival of the main force of our army. ”

General Niu was very happy when he heard this, and said with great praise: "Wonderful! Wonderful! ”。

When night came, Niu Jinda's vanguard troops reached the city of Songzhou and lay in ambush not far from the enemy camp. The tents of the enemy camp were lit up at this time, and most of the soldiers were eating and drinking in the tents to celebrate the imminent capture of Songzhou City, with only a few pairs of men and horses patrolling outside.

"The Tibetan army is really lax!" After Niu Jinda made a departure gesture, he saw a group of people secretly approaching the city gate.

"It's the Tubo army that is too light on the enemy!" Li Ke carried his bow and arrows behind his back, and picked up a bundle of arrows stained with kerosene and tied them to his back.

Niu Jinda was shocked and said: "Your Highness is the body of a daughter, you must not go into battle in person, Your Highness must take care of your own safety!"

Li Ke disagreed, he said: "How can a dignified seven-foot man be a gutless rat!" This king led the first group of men and horses into the secret attack, and General Niu led the other group of men and horses to ambush outside. The child hour is the most sleepy time for people, and we will act as soon as the child time is over. ”

"Your Highness is heroic!" Niu Jinda looked at Li Ke approvingly, King Wu was brave and strategic, it was a pity not to be the prince!

……

After a night of confrontation, as expected, the Tang army won the victory of beheading more than 1,000 in the form of a surprise attack. In the face of this sudden heavenly soldier, both the combat ability and the strong combat effectiveness have made the Tubo suffer, and the Tang army has completely overwhelmed the Tubo from the momentum. The battle went very smoothly, although the Tibetan army claimed to be 200,000, but under the attack of the 50,000 troops of the Tang army, it was vulnerable.

Tubo Zampu saw that a forward team in the Tang Military Region was so powerful, and the victory or defeat was already very obvious. So in desperation, I had no choice but to retreat. In this way, the battle of Songzhou simply ended before the main force of the Tang Army arrived.

Li Guang panted and ran to find Melodious, and said, "Princess, good news!"

As soon as Melodious heard the good news, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Has Your Highness returned?"

"Well, Your Highness hasn't come back yet!" Li Guang shook his head, silently praying in his heart that His Royal Highness would come back soon, if not, the princess was afraid that she would be stunned, and then said: "But the battle of Songzhou has been won, and Tubo has withdrawn!"

The melodious little face fell, thinking that he would have to wait for a few days, and said: "Oh, it's not that His Highness is back, hey, but it's good to win the battle, and it's not far from His Highness coming back after retiring from the army." Li Guang hurriedly took out the letter and handed it over as if offering a treasure. "Princess, although Your Highness has not returned, there is still a letter from Your Highness!"

"Surely tell us about the return date!" Melodious said as he couldn't wait to tear open the letterhead. "Melodious, let me tell you a good news first, our army has won, and Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo has withdrawn. But although the soldiers have retired, Songtsen Gampo is still not dead set on marrying my Tang Dynasty, and continues to beg my Tang Dynasty to give me marriage, but my father did not agree. After learning about it, Tubo Zampu made a retreat, since he did not give the princess to him, then he dedicated the Tubo princess to the Tang Dynasty and reached a friendly agreement. The princess of Tubo is young and beautiful, and her talent is extraordinary, and she is a rare strange woman. So my father remembered that I had made a meritorious contribution to this expedition, so he decreed that he would give me his princess and let me marry her. So, the bad news is that I'm going to stay in Tibet and not go back. Don't worry! ”

"Then you don't want to come back!" After reading it, Melodious threw the letter at his feet and stepped on it several times, using it to vent his hatred. Bastard, bastard, dare to praise other women for being young and beautiful! (To be continued.) )
