The reason why Yuanhe has been delayed until now is because he has always had a concern, that is, will there be a follow-up army in Tubo?

Now in the entire main battlefield of Longyou North Road, the main force of the Jin army has almost been wiped out, leaving only a lonely city in Shanzhou.

Li Xun's 30,000 troops are the last important military force of the Jin Dynasty in Longyou North Road, as long as Li Xun is eliminated, the entire Longyou North Road will completely fall into the hands of Tubo.

The military strength of Tubo in Longyou North Province has exceeded 250,000 troops, and the strength is sufficient, which is enough to mobilize more than 100,000 people when used to annihilate Li Xun.

The 20,000 soldiers in Langzhou, plus the 50,000 follow-up troops who rushed from Broken Dragon Fort, seem to be far stronger than Li Xun, but they are still some distance from Li Xun.

Therefore, Yuan He had some speculation that the forces used by Tubo to annihilate Li Xun may not stop there.

The 20,000 troops on the Langzhou side, as well as the 50,000 troops who rushed from Broken Dragon Fort, were probably deliberately done by the Tubo people, just to give Li Xun an illusion, a false opportunity to fight back.

But the scouts have been exploring the road to the vicinity of Langzhou, but they have not found the follow-up army of Tubo, could it be that they have thought too much about all this, the Tubo people may not have come up with such a clever strategy, or maybe they did not take Li Xun's 30,000 people in their eyes at all.

Yuanhe's worries are actually not wrong.

Gewa really didn't think that far, and he didn't take Li Xun in his eyes, in his opinion, the 20,000 troops in Dezui, plus the 50,000 troops from Broken Dragon Fort, were enough to deal with Li Xun, even if they couldn't wipe them out, they could drive Li Xun back to Xiaogu County.

For the total annihilation of Li Xun's 30,000 troops, Gewa is not interested, all his thoughts are now on the Longyou North Road, Liangzhou and Zhou, the two most important military places, have been taken, Langzhou is also successfully occupied, now only the 20,000 remnants of Shanzhou remain, still stubbornly resisting, but it is also a turtle in the urn, and it is difficult to escape.

In other words, Gewa's ambition is only to occupy the land of the four states of Longyou North Province, take Longyou North Province, and annihilate nearly 100,000 forbidden troops.

Gewa is only thinking about one problem now, that is, the counterattack of the Jin Dynasty, the fall of Longyou North Road, the annihilation of sixty or seventy thousand troops, the death of Xu Chengliang in battle, the capture of Liu Zhigu of Xiangguo, and the news transmitted back to the Central Plains, which will definitely cause a violent shock in the Jin Dynasty.

Longyou North Road is the hub connecting Anbei and the seven states in the west of Longyou, its fall, on behalf of Anbei and the west of Longyou, and the Central Plains completely cut off contact, these two places but there are millions of people and nearly 200,000 elite Jin army, they rely on the Central Plains very heavy, if it is isolated for a long time, it can not last too long, this is a vicious circle.

If the current situation really reaches that point, all the existence of the Jin Dynasty outside the pass will be wiped out, which is a huge blow and shake to the national strength and foundation of the entire Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, no matter what, for the loss of Longyou North Road, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty and the central court where it is located, will never sit idly by, and a larger-scale war may come soon.

Gewa didn't take Li Xun to heart, but someone took him to heart, this person is Gewa's henchman and strategist, the Han Lai Zonghan, that is, he tried his best to persuade Gewa to analyze and formulate the overall situation for the future, and finally persuaded Gewa to divide the army of 20,000 elite guards again, led by his henchman general and his brother-in-law, Anka Porgan, followed closely behind Dezui, and carried out the strategy of praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow birds, completely exterminated Li Xun and other 30,000 forbidden troops, and then with an army of 100,000, he went straight to Xiaogu County, and took advantage of the situation to take the entire land of seven states in the west of Longyou.

Now the Western Regions are in chaos, the countries of the Western Regions and the Dashi Empire are still in a life-and-death decisive battle, until both sides are defeated, take advantage of the situation to attack it, and take the entire land of the Western Regions, at that time, Tubo will become no less than the Jin Dynasty, a huge and powerful empire.

It was precisely because of the blueprint and planning given by Lai Zonghan that Gewa's ambition was completely stimulated, and he began to transfer troops to the west, moving the military focus to the west of Longyou.

Lai Zonghan's plan has to be said to be very clever and far-reaching, as far as the overall planning is concerned, it is very perfect, but the times create heroes, and at the moment of crisis, there will always be great responsibilities and people.

This Si person is the little-known Hu Xian, a low-level officer who has just joined the army for a few months and entered the army by the back door, and whose official rank is no more than a captain.

Hu Xian was recommended by Liu Yi and took refuge in Xu Chengliang, but the power of the Liu family in the court is not as good as before, although Liu Guanghui is a prime minister, but compared with his previous Liu Ji, it is not comparable at all, and in today's complex and strange political situation, he can only barely protect himself.

Xu Chengliang didn't want to get involved in the political struggle in the court because of Hu Xian, so although he took Hu Xian in, he did not put him in his own army, but in the name of the envoy of Jiedu, he transferred Hu Xian to Zhao Feidu's army, became a captain, and led a hundred soldiers.

Although Zhao Feidu is not under the control and jurisdiction of Xu Chengliang, he is just a low-level officer of the school captain, and he still will not reject this face, so he accepted Hu Xian, but he didn't take him seriously, just keep it.

Liu Zhigu ordered Zhao Feidu to lead 5,000 troops to support Shanzhou guard Yu Heng, but Zhao Feidu did not want to go to Shanzhou, and did not dare to openly disobey Liu Zhigu's orders, so he sent 5,000 soldiers to Shanzhou, and he led 300 personal soldiers to Langzhou, where 10,000 troops, half of which are their own headquarters soldiers and horses, and Langzhou is very close to Xiaogu County, once the battle situation is unfavorable, it is also convenient to escape.

After that, the state fell, and Gu Yong, the governor of Liangzhou, led the army to retreat to Shanzhou, on the one hand, he sent someone to inform Zhao Feidu, and on the other hand, he urgently sent the news back to Fengjing.

Just when Gu Yong and Yu Heng were about to retreat to Langzhou after the integration of their forces, Dezui led 20,000 soldiers into Langzhou, but Zhao Feidu fled without a fight, completely ignoring the life and death of Gu Yong and others in Shanzhou.

As a result, the back road was cut off, and Shanzhou became a lonely city in the true sense, and Gu Yong and others could only defend the city and wait for rescue.

For Zhao Feidu's escape, Hu Xian fought the basis of reason, but in the end, the official was humble and his words were too intense, and he was immediately driven out by the angry Zhao Feidu, and dismissed from all positions.

Hu Xian was not ashamed of Zhao Feidu's actions, persuaded his soldiers with righteousness, led more than 100 soldiers from his headquarters, left Langzhou City, surrounded the wilderness of the city, and reconnoitred the movements of Tubo on the one hand, while gathering the remnants of the scattered defeated generals, and finally won more than 2,000 soldiers. 2k reading web
