In the ninth year of Chengping, September 25.

The brutal siege of the city, as night fell, came to an end temporarily, and the unhurried and unpleasant beating of drums continued to sound, and the Tibetan army began to retreat like a tide.

"General, Tubo has retreated."

The Tibetan army retreated, and some soldiers shouted loudly.

"Order the whole army, each to guard his position, not to leave his post without permission, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."

Shan Qiu shouted at the pro-soldiers on the side.

"Yes, General."

Although the soldiers were puzzled, they didn't dare to ask more, and ran around the city, loudly conveying the order of the single enemy.

After a day of fierce fighting, everyone was extremely tired, seeing the retreat of the Tubo army, they originally wanted to rest, but now they heard the order of the main general of the city, and suddenly there was some mourning, but the military order could not be violated, and the soldiers defending the city had to stand in place, beat the spirit, hold weapons, and continue to garrison.

At this time, the unhurried and unhappy beating of the drum, a sharp turn, turned into a tight drum, one after another, endlessly, just now was still retreating Tubo army, turned the head of the gun, shouted to kill again resounded in the sky, striding towards the city to kill.

"Defend against the enemy!"

Shan Qiu roared loudly, reminding the officers and men of the whole army to prepare to defend the city.

Tubo attacked for half an hour again, and again killed and wounded more than 2,000 people, the siege generals saw that the Jin army saw through their tricks, and the strength of the city defense was not slack, invulnerable, so they had to give the order to retreat angrily, but this time it was really withdrawn.

At the same time as the Tibetan army withdrew, the gate of Xiaogu County suddenly opened, and Yuan He led three thousand cavalry to rush out and catch up with the retreating Tibetan army.

Yuan He was not greedy for merit, and after rushing and killing for a while, he led the army back, not giving the other party a chance to surround him at all.

After such a back and forth, the angry Tubo general was almost vomiting blood, and he jumped like thunder.

The Tubo battalion, the commander's big tent.

At the end of the day's siege, Gerva summoned the generals to discuss the matter.

Li Xun, the general of the Jin Dynasty, led 30,000 troops, won successive battles, and finally repelled the Tubo army besieging Shanzhou by unexpected means, rescued the besieged 20,000 Jin troops, and defeated the strong Qiu Bai cavalry several times, and even the capital of the Qiu Bai tribe, De'an, was killed, and the 40,000 Jin army and more than 100,000 people returned safely to Xiaogu County.

The results of the Jin Dynasty were relatively brilliant, killing 40,000 or 50,000 Tibetan soldiers, but this did not fundamentally shake the morale and confidence of Tibet, and the main military force of Tibet was not greatly damaged.

Controlled the entire four states of Longyou North Province, Gewa began to think about the next military action, at this time, the news came, Li Zhong led 60,000 troops has been on the way to Huizhou, after getting this news, at that time Gewa did not think about Xiaogu County at all, but made two preparations, one hand to Longyou North Province four states as a bargaining chip, and the Jin Dynasty to negotiate, in exchange for the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou, so that the fastest speed, the smallest price, to obtain the greatest benefits, if the Jin Dynasty refused, then come to the second hand, Gather the main army and attack Anbei.

At that time, Gewa did not have the intention of attacking the western part of Longyou for the time being, after all, the Liao Dynasty promised the Jin Dynasty that it would not send troops to Anbei, and it also promised Tubo that it would not help the Jin Dynasty, neither of which would help, and the Liao Dynasty remained neutral, but these were only verbal agreements and did not have any constraints.

Until the Liao Dynasty Emperor Hohe Bari's envoy, the Liao Dynasty's counselor and governor, the Ministry of Rites right attendant Wang Huaili arrived, bringing the attitude of Hohe Bari, although the Liao Dynasty will not really send troops to Anbei, but will send 100,000 troops to be stationed on the border of Anbei, military threats, so that Anbei can not move.

This guarantee of the Liao Dynasty suddenly made Gewa's mind come alive, and he finally made a decision.

Still prepare with both hands, compared with the previous talk first and then fight, Gewa decided to talk while fighting, he led the main force of 200,000 troops, entered Xiaogu County, and let his brother Gewa Jiji sit in the rear, with the state as the core, leading 110,000 troops to defend against the upcoming Jin Dynasty reinforcements.

The siege battle has lasted for four days, and in just four days, Tubo has launched more than a dozen rounds of strong attacks before and after, with great losses, nearly 30,000, but the damage of the Jin army is just as great, more than 10,000.

"King, the city wall of Xiaogu County is not very good, the east city wall has collapsed under our strong attack, I am ready to send three thousand crossbowmen to set up near the city to hinder the Jin army from repairing the city wall, please ask the king's permission."

A Tibetan general issued a petition order.

Gewa glanced at this person appreciatively, nodded and smiled: "Yes, if you capture Xiaogu County, this king will reward you with ten high-grade Han women." ”

"King Xie."

The Tibetan general had a happy face and bowed down to thank him.

Gewa waved his hand, smiling, for these generals who led the troops, Gewa knew what they wanted, as long as they gave them enough, they could give you their lives.

Saddle Moo Duyi is Gewa's henchman, so he naturally does it closest to him, Saddle Moo Dudu glanced at everyone, and then approached Gewa, and said in a low voice: "Great King, four days of strong attack, I have never been able to take the small city of Xiaogu County, everyone's fighting spirit is somewhat affected, seeing that the reinforcements of the Jin Dynasty are coming, it is not a way to go on like this." ”

Gewa squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's only a matter of one or two days to take Xiaogu County, and the other party won't last long." ”

Saddle Moo nodded alone, not to say more, he is still more convinced of Gewa, Gewa from a nobody, to the control of the entire Tubo, to the pinnacle of power, less than ten years before and after, the first battle of Longyou, Tubo was defeated, all forces are suffering heavy losses, only Gewa's headquarters of 20,000 soldiers and horses, unscathed, no matter what method he uses, despicable or shameless, but he has completely preserved his strength, this is a fact.

In the process of controlling the supreme power of Tibet, Gewa was ruthless, tough-minded, and his political skills were also very clever, and he quickly pacified the turmoil in Tubo, as well as the second battle of Longyou, which was well planned and decisive, and in a short period of time, brilliant results were achieved, although Langzhou side, a Jin Dynasty general named Li Xun won a few battles, but the Tubo high-level felt that there was nothing, and the loss was not big, in their opinion, this was just an episode, an accident, and could not change the direction of the overall situation.

It is precisely because he feels that Gewa has great wisdom and can go to a very high height, Saddle Moo believes in his own judgment, so he finally chose to surrender, in fact, Saddle Moo alone in the Tubo military, has always been a powerful faction, whether it is seniority, or prestige, is more than Gewa, without Saddle Moo's full help, it is a difficult thing for Gewa to get to this height, maybe it is impossible at all. 2k reading web
