After the three of them sat down, Lu Xiaoxian got straight to the point and said: "Whether it's open or secret, we've had a lot of dealings these days, and you should know me more or less." Let's open the skylight and say something bright, and we don't have to hide it! ”

Guo Qin nodded: "Young Master Lu, the reason why you dare to invite you here is that this is what Murong Sect Master and I mean!" ”

"Okay, which of you two will talk first, I'll listen to you!" Lu Xiaoxian made a gesture of please.

"I'd better come first!" Guo Qin's eyes were melancholy, and his voice was a little low, "This matter has to start from the Battle of Dafeichuan back then!" ”

At that time, Xue Rengui sent a conquest to Tibet, although under the banner of "Luo Dao", it seemed that he was targeting the capital of Tubo, but his real purpose was to help Tuyuhun restore the country. As for the so-called "Luo Dao", the intention is nothing more than to intimidate Tibet, and in the name of summoning the Tuyuhun people to surrender, and boosting the morale of the officers and men of the Tang army.

Emperor Gaozong specially issued a secret decree to let the exiled king of Tuyuhun, Murong Nuo, and Princess Honghua go with the army. Gaozong's idea was very simple and direct, after Xue Rengui defeated Tubo, he directly let Murong Nuo take over the Tuyuhun Kingdom.

From this point of view, Gaozong is full of confidence in this battle. The reason why Gaozong is so confident in this battle is because Xue Rengui is the commander of this battle.

Xue Rengui, a native of Longmen, Jiangzhou, Shanxi, has few great ambitions, all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and emerged as soon as he was conscripted into the army, bravely savior, taking the head of the enemy general like a bag to take things, one person rushed through the enemy's 250,000 battle formations, and also used three arrows to level the 130,000 enemy troops, laying the name of the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty. He has been brave and good at fighting all his life, and has never made a single strategic mistake in military command in his 40-year combat career, and is a rare god of war in the Tang Dynasty.

What's more, Xue Rengui is also Gaozong's life-saving benefactor.

Soon after Gaozong ascended the throne, the Tang Dynasty encountered a once-in-a-century flood, a violent storm, water flowing everywhere, and flash floods, even where the Son of Heaven lived.

The king of the water dragons is angry, and the earth will tremble. The water rushed to the Xuanwu Gate, where the emperor was resting, and did not give much face to the real dragon in the world. At this critical moment, the guards of the Xuanwu Gate actually flew separately at the end of the day, and they hated the old mother for having two legs, what kind of golden rule of "raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while" is all fucking hell, what kind of bullshit emperor to protect when his life is gone.

At this time, Xue Rengui appeared in front of Gaozong like a god, and he bravely climbed the door frame to shout, telling Emperor Gaozong, who still didn't know what the water was like, to flee for his life.

A word woke up the person in the dream, Gaozong immediately climbed to a high place, and as soon as he went up, the flood had already rushed to his feet, so dangerous! Because of Xue Rengui's reminder, Gaozong picked up a life, and Xue Rengui became the emperor's life-saving benefactor. Afterwards, Gaozong also happily sent a BMW to Xue Rengui.

Because of these origins, Gaozong had great expectations for Xue Rengui, who was both a benefactor and the god of the Tang Dynasty. In Gaozong's opinion, as soon as Xue Rengui came out, the Tubo people would immediately flee with a stream of urine.

If Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua did not go with the army, with Xue Rengui's ability and the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, even if the attack was fruitless, they would not be defeated, but the bad thing would have been on Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua.

Xue Rengui's combat intention was very clear, that is, on the one hand, to occupy the key point of Wuhai City and prevent the Tubo army from advancing northward, and on the other hand, to eliminate or expel the military forces of Tubo through one or two annihilation battles in Tuyuhun's hometown, so as to create military conditions for Tuyuhun to restore the country.

Gaozong asked Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua to march with the army, and there was another layer of intention, that is, to use his prestige and appeal as king of Tuyuhun, and let the Tuyuhun people help the army expel the Tubo people together, as long as Tuyuhun restored the country, the next step can be to negotiate with Tubo to solve the Tuyuhun problem.

It has been seven years since Tubo annexed and occupied Tuyuhun, and under the personal management of Qinling, it has become an important strategic place in Tubo. In fact, the ethnic origin and geographical location of Tuyuhun's hometown also determine that the hearts of the local people must be inclined to Tubo rather than the Tang Dynasty.

Gaozong did not realize this clearly, and still dreamed that the local people were eager for Tuyuhun to restore the country. His wishful thinking laid the groundwork for the final defeat of the Tang Dynasty.

Due to the suddenness of the Tang Dynasty's troops, compared to the 100,000 Tang soldiers, the 350,000 horses stationed here in Tibet were unprepared, so they had to flee in panic. Therefore, the battle of Wuhai was a battle around the total annihilation of the Tibetan force.

Xue Rengui's strategic idea was that he personally led 20,000 elite Tang troops to march to Wuhai and occupy the key point of Wuhai City, blocking the way for the Tubo army to go north for reinforcements on the one hand, and cutting off the way for the Tubo army to flee south on the other hand.

Then, Guo Beifeng led the main force of about 50,000 to make a detour to drive the Tubo army to Nuanquan, where the Tubo army made dumplings and annihilated them in one fell swoop.

After that, except for a part of the army left to hold the Wuhai Pass, the rest of the army returned to the north, and the northward forces continued to clear the remnants of Tubo, and the eastward forces will return to Dafeichuan to become a military guarantee for the maintenance of Tuyuhun's recovery.

As a result, Xue Rengui ordered the remaining 20,000 horses to build fortifications in Dafeichuan under the leadership of Ashina Daozhen to collect heavy grain and grass.

Here, Xue Rengui had already made a huge mistake and laid a serious aftermath for the subsequent defeat, that is, he thought that the main force of the Tubo army in Tuyuhun's hometown was these, and he didn't know that near Dafeichuan, Tubo could quickly gather about 200,000 men and horses to start a decisive battle with the Tang army.

These horses are the Tuyuhun people, who will fight valiantly against the Tang army that protected their king's restoration under the leadership of the Tubo people.

Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua stayed in Dafeichuan, waiting for the news of Xue Rengui's victory ahead. At this moment, three hundred former Tuyuhun strong men came to Murong Nuo, claiming to protect their king.

It had been a long time since Murong Nuo had lost his country, and now he actually had his own people come to serve him, which made him very excited, even if he took in these Tuyuhun people. In his opinion, in the future, there will be more Tuyuhun people who will follow these people and come to him in a steady stream.

At that time, Guo Beifeng and Ashina Daozhen both felt that it was inappropriate to keep these people around, but they couldn't withstand the bitter pleas of Murong Nuo and Princess Honghua. In any case, the two of them are also relatives of the emperor and the country, and they can't not give no face at all. Besides, there are not many of these Tuyuhun people, so it shouldn't be a big problem to send more people to monitor them.
