Tubo effortlessly took Langzhou City, and now Li Xun, under the role of Hu Xian's strange army, also effortlessly regained Langzhou City.

According to Li Xun's original plan, after defeating this enemy army, if possible, take advantage of the situation to attack Shanzhou and rescue the 20,000 forbidden troops trapped in the city, but although Hu Xian defeated the subsequent 10,000 Tubo soldiers with strange soldiers, but at the same time, he also exposed the military strength here, and the Tubo army on Shanzhou must have been prepared at this time, and it will not play much role if he goes at this time.

In this battle at night, although the opponent's strength was less than his own, the combat effectiveness of the 10,000 Qiu Bai cavalry was extremely strong.

Moreover, there has been no news from Li Cunxiao's side, but until now, there is no figure in the 50,000 follow-up Tubo army, and Li Cunxiao should have successfully completed the task, which made Li Xun, who had been nervous for a long time, finally breathe a few sighs of relief.

When he arrived at the Thorn History Mansion, Liu Zhigu was sitting quietly in the lobby, his clothes were messy, and the whole person looked very embarrassed, but his spirit was still very good, but his expression was very sad and guilty.

"Just one thing about rescuing Liu Xiangguo, Hu Xiandang can take the first credit."

Li Xun sighed, and then bowed deeply to Liu Zhigu.

Liu Zhigu raised his head and said with a wry smile: "If I die in the hands of the Tubo people, I will feel better in my heart." ”

Li Xun was puzzled: "Why did Liu Xiangguo say this? ”

"The defeat in this battle and the death of tens of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield are all my fault."

Liu Zhigu sighed, and said in a low tone: "Your Majesty ordered me to come here to supervise the army, and did not let me take charge of the military dispatch, it was because I was too competitive, couldn't listen to good words, and insisted on going my own way, that's right."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhigu closed his eyes in pain and was speechless for a while.

Li Xun was silent.

It is a great disadvantage for a layman to command an insider, but there is no way, Zhao Zhi trusts Wenchen, much more than he trusts the generals, and the official positions such as supervising the army and observing the envoy who have a great right to speak in the army have always been held by civilian officials, Liu Zhigu sits in a high position in the country, and has the power of supervision in his hands, even if Zhao Zhi does not give him the right to command the military, but with his height, what he says, its weight, how can Gu Yong, Xu Chengliang and others dare to refute?

In fact, Gu Yong once proposed to abandon Langzhou and Shanzhou, gather all his troops, and stick to the state.

As long as the state is not lost, even if there is a problem in Liangzhou, even if Shanzhou and Langzhou are gone, even if the state becomes an isolated city, but it finally concentrates all the troops of the entire Longyou North Road, and the military weight is strong enough, so that even if Tubo has more troops, before the state is captured, there will never be other military operations.

Once such a situation is formed, the land of the seven states in the western part of Longyou, where Li Xun is located, can calmly deploy military plans and dispatch troops, and the Fengjing Imperial Court also has enough time and space to make the most favorable judgments and decisions.

Gu Yong's plan was supported by Xu Chengliang and everyone else, and the reason why they agreed one-sidedly may be out of selfishness, after all, Tubo has an army of 200,000 troops, and the number of troops is more than twice that of himself.

But this plan was vetoed by Liu Zhigu after all.

In the end, because the troops were scattered, they were annihilated by the Tibetans, which led to the complete loss of control of the entire battle situation, until the defeat and loss, and the defeat was complete.

Li Xun glanced at Liu Zhigu, who was in a state of guilt and sadness, and comforted him softly: "Liu Xiangguo, Tubo took Liangzhou by surprise and defeated Liangzhou with a surprise army, many things, all of us did not expect, the fault of defeat is not you. ”

At the beginning of the situation, although there were 200,000 troops in Tibet, but the overall war situation, the situation was still very good, the Hu people publicly stated that they would not intervene in the Longyou War, Anbei 50,000 elite troops are coming to help, the land of the seven states in the west of Longyou is also actively mobilizing soldiers and horses, preparing for war, the central court of the Great Jin Dynasty is also also mobilizing troops and sending generals, gathering grain and grass materials, and it is possible to send a large army to Longyou to help the war at any time, and the state of Longyou North Road, Shanzhou, Langzhou and other three states, at this moment gathered more than 70,000 troops, the state is a strong city, There are more than 40,000 troops defending the city, the soldiers are full of food, and there is also Liu Zhigu of Xiangguo sitting in the place, the morale of the three armies is high, and there are 200,000 troops in Tubo, and if you want to break through the city in a short time, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.

However, the impermanence of the army and the impermanence of the water, Liu Zhigu responded to all changes with the same, and Gewa was surprisingly victorious, attacked Liangzhou on a rainy night, defeated Ma Wu in a war, and then stole the sky to change the pillars, pretending to be the Jin army, and broke through the state in World War II.

"Or are we too careless, neglect to take precautions, and only think about the better, which eventually leads to nightmares."

Liu Zhigu shook his head, looked at Li Xun, and said gratefully: "Li Xun, you are very good, if it weren't for your crisis, giving up the idea of self-preservation, and daring to lead the army to fight, this is why you will have the victory of this war tonight and recapture Langzhou, so that more than 20,000 soldiers such as Gu Yong who were trapped in Shanzhou finally have a glimmer of life, and your credit will be remembered by everyone." ”

Li Xun smiled, Liu Zhigu is a literati and a politician, at this time, he did not forget to use these small means, he said these words, put a high hat on himself, just because he was afraid that after he rescued him, he felt that his merits were complete, and he had the mind of self-preservation, and led the army to retreat to Xiaogu County, putting the 20,000 defenders of Shanzhou alive and dead, and put them behind.

Li Xun now has no way to retreat, the follow-up 50,000 Tubo army from Broken Dragon Fort blocked his back road to Xiaogu County, Li Xun now has only two choices, immediately gather the army, before Tubo has not reacted, meet this 50,000 Tubo army, defeat them, open the road, and retreat to Xiaogu County, but the risk of doing so is still very great, after seeing the combat effectiveness of the 10,000 cavalry of the Qiu Bai tribe, Li Xun is very worried, the Qiu Bai tribe has many cavalry, and the Qiu Bai cavalry who followed Gewa this time is how many people there are, If it is more than 20,000, then tonight's battle, did not let its loss at all, once he led the army to flee west, even if he left Gewa aside, he hated the cavalry of the Bai tribe to chase and kill, with the mobility of the cavalry, it is easy to catch up with himself, at that time, there is no way forward, there is a strong enemy behind, and at that time, I am afraid that there is really only a dead end.

Another option is to follow the advice of Shan Qiu and others, stick to Langzhou, re-form a mutual defense trend with Shanzhou, disperse the forces over there, once the pressure on that side is reduced, Shanzhou can at least hold on for a period of time, the news here should soon be transmitted back to Fengjing, the imperial court will never sit idly by, send a large army source, just around the corner, although Ma Wu lost the first battle, but did not damage the foundation of Anbei, Anbei's military strength is still strong, ease this gas, Ma Wu will definitely take action.
