0623 The King of Thieves is cunning and capricious

Qin Ling has been in power for many years, and he has an indelible connotation of joy and anger, if he is just ridiculed by people as a poem, of course he will not be angry to this extent, not to mention that the level of this poem is not bad.

What really makes him angry is the content of the poem, the snow is full of bows and knives? What does that mean?

Although the climate of Qinghai is different, there will be no wind and snow in the middle of April and May. Moreover, the climate here is getting warmer year by year, and compared with the annexation of Tuyuhun by Tubo a few decades ago, the farming period has been extended by half a month.

Even if there are unforeseen storms and clouds in the sky, and the snow season is steep, the earliest snowfall in the region in recent years is the Tang State Yongchang period and the Tang State Prime Minister Wei Zhiqi fought in the Western Regions, and the falling snow made the Tang State's grain transportation poor and defeated. But even though the snow fell more than a month earlier that year, it was at the end of July and almost August.

In other words, if this song is the time when the Tang State launched an attack, then there are at least four or five months left until the middle of April!

Thinking of this, Qin Ling was extremely bad, all his tactical preparations were based on the Tang State's intention to attack quickly and enter Qinghai, and for this reason, he even took the initiative to give up the confrontation and tug-of-war of the Chiling defensive line.

The door is open for you, but you say you just can't get in now? Who can stand this!

Those who know the soldiers will never preset some factors on the battlefield too rigidly, after all, any unexpected situation will happen in the war. Qin Ling naturally understands this truth, but the key is that he can't do it!

If the Tang army really delayed the war until July and August, this would naturally be a great disadvantage to Qinling.

Not to mention whether the troops around Qinghai can sustain the assembly for half a year, the battle situation in the Western Regions alone, regardless of victory or defeat, will have a great impact on the Tubo State. At that time, Qinling would have to return to the country to preside over the situation anyway, and he could not even continue to stay in Qinghai.

Of course, this poem was actively spread by Tang Jun, and there must be a certain amount of misleading elements in it, which may not be reliable.

However, the subordinate generals told that this poem had spread in the Haidong region, so that rumors had spread, and many Hu tribes had disobeyed the Tibetan order, which was also a great disadvantage in itself.

Those Hu chiefs, even if they don't have any level of poetry appreciation, but they don't know the basic season? How could he believe that Qinling had been defeated because of such a poem, and he could no longer be respectful to Tubo?

Of course, this was not the case, and Qin Ling soon realized that it was not so much that the Tang army was bewitching the people and that the Haidong Zhuhu were stupid and honest, but that this was an expression of a vision.

The Hubu herdsmen, who subconsciously wanted to believe the scene depicted in this poem, looked forward to the escape of Qinling at night. The spread of this ballad was like a public opinion catharsis for Hu Bu in the Haidong region, hoping that the Tang army could drive away the Tibetan army that occupied Qinghai and save them from the enslavement of Tibet.

A simple poem that made Qin Ling aware of many problems.

King Yong, who commanded the army in the Tang Kingdom, was not an arrogant and arrogant man, and he must have a very deep understanding of the situation in the country of Tibet, and he was cunning and unpredictable, and he was good at demagoguery and incitement. This was an opponent he had never met when he fought against the Tang Army before.

This is also the reason why he is so angry, and he can't help but think of the evaluation of Li Ji, the king of Yong, by Yang Si, the noble son of Tang Guoxun, who he saw in Fu Qi City before, and bluntly said that he is inconsistent and cunning, and needs to be careful.

At that time, Qinling was very unimpressed, although this King Yong was able to stand out in the political situation of the Tang State near the Colosseum, and it was certain that his ability was indeed good.

However, on the battlefield of the war between the two countries, intelligence and cunning are actually nothing, and many problems are fundamental and profound, because if the generals are too cunning and changeable, and the order changes overnight, the soldiers will be at a loss, and even sharpen their fighting spirit.

It is precisely because of this idea that Qin Ling does not attach much importance to the existence of the Yongwang itself, and even intends to take advantage of this to deliberately provoke the Yongwang and force the veteran Heiya Changzhi to mess up with himself through his people.

But now, he has been taught a solid lesson.

After the coup d'état in Shendu, King Yong hurriedly went to Guanxi to kill, which shows that his people are strong and have a lot of fighting spirit. The situation in the customs is undecided, and he is busy rushing to Longyou, which has further emphasized the perception of his image by others.

After his people entered, the Heyuan Army, which was originally mainly defensive, began to actively attack the western foot of Chiling. All kinds of signs indicate that the Tang army will immediately start the war again and march into Qinghai.

Qinling also made such a judgment based on the combination of known species.

In order to allow the Tang army to take the initiative to attack, he even made many strategic adjustments, taking the initiative to show regression to the country and expressing support for the use of troops in the Western Regions, so as to make the Tang army believe that Qinghai was empty. Taking the initiative to evacuate Chiling and shrinking the front provided a good condition for the Tang Army to send troops.

As a result, the Tang army is now occupied by Chiling, and Qinghai is vaguely in sight, but they are holding back, running and singing! If he had known this, he might as well maintain his previous plan, hold the Chiling defensive line, and continue to maintain the previous confrontation state.

"No...... right"

After pondering silently for a long time, Qin Ling suddenly raised his head again, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Where did the Tang army get so much money and food to feed? The Anxi garrison has made the Longyou treasury empty and tired.

The Heyuan army is hungry in the armor, how can it maintain the huge consumption of crossing the Chiling Mountains and raising the army for half a year? What are the specific trends of Longyou in the near future? Quickly summon the commander of the front row to enter the account, and that Tang man Yang Si, if he is here, he will be summoned together! ”

Thinking of the fundamental and important issue of army supply, Qin Ling was much more determined, the King of Yong in the Tang Kingdom was indeed cunning, but even if he was cunning, it was difficult for him to conjure money and grain out of thin air.

Although it is true that the Tang Kingdom is rich, the consumption of side affairs over the years is also massive.

Qinling fought with the Tang army and overcharged its supplies and baggage, and had a deep understanding of this. During the Yongchang period, the supply of various equipment of the Tang army was not as good as before, which means that the national strength of the Tang State has also been deeply depleted.

Previously, Qinling did not support the attack on the Western Regions, and proposed to maintain a small group of intrusions, mainly to incite the local Hu to challenge the Tang army, and there was the idea of using the Anxi defenders to drain the Longyou military reserve.

After the garrison of Anxi, the Heyuan Army dropped a notch in all aspects, and there was no need to even enter the country for careful inspection, which could be clearly felt in the offensive on the front line of Chiling.

To be honest, if it weren't for such a big thing as a coup d'état in the Shendu of the Tang Kingdom, Qinling's original plan was to gradually consolidate the defense line in Chiling, compress the strength of the Heyuan army, and after reaching a certain level, directly wave his troops to the south to attack Jiuqu of the Yellow River. Occupying the land of Jiuqu, you can bypass the location of the Heyuan Army and enter Taozhou, Kuozhou, Hezhou and other places in the Tang State through Taoshui, the Yellow River and other river valleys.

The Tang army no longer has enough reserves in Longyou, and it is precisely based on this that Qin Ling judged that once the Tang army entered, it must quickly expand the results of the war, at least to harvest enough military exploits in the Yongwang Kuawei country in a very short time, otherwise this time the troops could only retreat in vain.

Soon, the commanders of the Youyi soldiers summoned by Qin Ling entered the account one after another, and Qin Ling asked them with a serious face about the various performances of the Tang army, how the staff was, how the complexion was, and even whether the horsepower was healthy, whether the fur was oily or astringent, etc., which could be described as nuanced.

The Tang army broke Qinghai several times, and it was also very difficult for Tubo to directly enter Longyou to collect intelligence, not only because the Tang Army's Chiling line was tightly defended, but also because the people of Longyou were also full of hatred for Tubo, and once they found out that the scouts entered the country, they might be directly beaten to death by the villagers.

Therefore, the information related to the Tang Army can only be obtained and summarized through observation on the battlefield, and although the reference is not large, it is not completely unknown.

Speaking of the process of fighting against the Tang Army, these commanders of the Tibetan Army showed their own jealousy. During this time, they were using their lives to measure the changes in the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army.

In the previous battles with the Tang Army, they had to be more active, and even if they did not win, they could calmly retreat, and the Tang Army basically did not engage in long-distance pursuits. However, in the spring of this year, the Tang army's fighting spirit was obviously much higher, and it often pursued and killed for more than ten miles.

Such a change caught people off guard, so much so that at the beginning, there was even a case of the entire Fan army being chased and killed by the Tang army. It was really enjoyable to poke and leave before, but now the Tang Army's tactics have changed abruptly, and it is really fatal to launch a ruthless attack.

According to the Tang Army's style of play, even if the general theory does not order the withdrawal of troops, unless additional troops continue to be sent to Chiling, Chiling will be difficult to hold for a long time.

These battle reports have been known to Qinling before. But at that time, he only felt that the Tang army was eager to attack, so he was excited. But now that I hear it again, I realize that the Tang Army has indeed greatly improved its combat effectiveness.

This is the case, but because of the different ways of thinking and focus, the conclusions are different. Qin Ling also realized that his purpose in this battle was so strong that his perception was skewed, and he ignored the changes in some key battlefield elements.

However, the information provided by the commanders of these Fan army did not accurately reflect the true level of supply of the Tang army. After all, the game is the elite troops of the two countries, and the supply must naturally be given priority.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Tang man Yang Si hurriedly entered the account to meet him.

Today, he wore a brocade robe of the Tang Kingdom, which was bright and gorgeous, and it looked quite eye-catching in the camp where the color was not bright. Qin Ling was in a bad mood at the moment, and after seeing this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "You lost your family and jumped from home, you have to survive in the world, and you don't sneak around to gather momentum, so swaggering, I am afraid that you will not be able to attract people's attention and die quickly enough?" ”

Yang Si was scolded by this, and he was also very panicked for a while, he dressed up this way, but also to vote for Qinling's favor, hoping to get more attention, after all, what he had seen in Fu Qicheng before, his people admired Tang Feng, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.

Under the fence, there should be all kinds of patience, that Yang Si while knocking on the guilt, while tearing off the head, and even lying on the ground and rolling, until the mud and sand on the felt carpet in the tent stained the brocade robe, then knees to the feet of Qinling and said in a trembling voice: "The servant will never dare to slack off on what he is told, but he was shocked to hear the demon song in the wild, so he hurriedly returned to the camp and bowed to greet An......"

When Qin Ling heard this, he was even more embarrassed, raised his leg and kicked Yang Si out of Zhangyu, and only after returning to the table did he say in a deep voice: "Tell me what you have obtained recently, as well as how much of your family assets in the Guannei have been seized by King Yong, and explain them in detail." If you dare to hide, I will cut you down immediately! ”
