Chapter 439: The War Begins

Several scouts soon approached, and one of the leading officers in front of him turned over and dismounted, half-knelt and clenched his fists, and said loudly: "Jie Shuai, ten miles away, there is a group of more than 100 cavalry galloping towards our side. ”

Li Xun raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then asked in a loud voice, "Who is coming?" ”

The scout officer thought for a moment, and then said, "I don't know who the last general is, but they are all wearing the military uniforms of the Great Jin, and they should be their own people." ”

Sima Tu rode to the front at this time, and said loudly: "The person who came may be Zhao Feidu, the governor of Langzhou." ”

Li Xun touched his chin and thought about it, there is indeed this possibility, although Zhao Feidu is the governor of Langzhou, he is also the deputy envoy of the Jiedu of Longyou North Province, the state is close to Langzhou, and now Tubo Chen soldiers are 100,000 Broken Dragon Fort, the state is the first front line, and the garrison is 30,000, of course Zhao Feidu will personally sit here.

Li Xun took out his scepter and gave it to the scout officer, and ordered: "Take my scepter and go to inquire about the visitor, ask for identity, and come back immediately to report." ”

"Yes, Jie Shuai."

The scout officer took the scepter, turned on his horse, and galloped away.

Subsequently, Li Xun was not careless, and ordered Jiang Daxiong to let everyone form a defensive formation and be on guard on the spot.

Two moments passed, and the scout returned again, bringing accurate news, it was indeed Zhao Feidu, the governor of Langzhou, who came, but he was not the protagonist yet, and the person who was the leader was actually the envoy of Longyou North Province, Xu Chengliang.

Hearing the news, Li Xun smiled bitterly at Sima Tu on the side: "Zhao Feidu doesn't matter, he Xu Chengliang is a very senior old man, when I was a general, I was not born yet, and now I am actually welcoming dozens of miles, which really flatters me!" ”

Sima Tu chuckled: "If you have nothing to do, you must ask for something." ”

Li Xun said: "You mean Tubo? ”

Sima Tu nodded and said: "The Tubo attack, the most pressure is the Langzhou Governor Zhao Feidu, but now the imperial court has issued an order, ordering the Liangzhou Governor Gu Yong and Longyou North Dao Jiedu to make Xu Chengliang each lead 10,000 soldiers into the state, the three towns of soldiers and horses, commanded by Xu Chengliang, Xiangguo Liu Zhigu in the middle of the dispatch, exercising the power of supervision, among these people, Xu Chengliang is the highest commander of the army, his pressure can be imagined, and what about you, the lord, the court did not give you any orders, that is to say, once the war breaks out, if the state is unfavorable, The lord can support or not, all military operations depend on the lord's personal attitude, in this way, Xu Chengliang naturally does not dare to be the lord of the tiger, so polite, it is normal. ”

Li Xun squinted, and immediately figured out the reason, according to Li Zhong's guess, there are 30,000 defenders in the state, and there are 10,000 defenders in Langzhou, and the two cities take care of each other, with a total of 40,000 troops.

Liu Zhigu to the position of Xiangguo, sitting in Longyou, concurrently serving as the observer of Longyou Dao, holding the right to exercise the power of local supervision, in case of emergency, you can cut first and then play, act cheaply, now Tubo Chen soldiers 100,000 broken dragon fort, the atmosphere of the war is getting more and more intense, it is already an emergency, the entire Longyou Dao, everyone must be subject to Liu Zhigu's moderation, but Li Xun is different, he is also a fake festival plus, although lower than Liu Zhigu's level of holding the festival, the right is smaller, but also has the privilege of acting cheaply, now, the war in the Western Regions is fierce, Li Xun can use this as an excuse to refuse any military transfer orders and defend himself, and Liu Zhigu has nothing to do with him.

Sima Tu said softly: "Lord, your arrival has attracted so much attention from everyone, it seems... There have been new changes on the Tibetan side, but when the lord left Fengjing, the news from here has not yet come back. ”

"I also thought of this, and when I see them later, everything will naturally understand."

Li Xun nodded, although he had been promoted to the envoy of the Wuzhou Festival, his qualifications were still shallow, if it was not necessary, how could Xu Chengliang give himself such a big face? Greet dozens of miles in person, I am afraid that only when characters like Li Zhong arrive, can they enjoy such courtesy.

As the two spoke, a group of cavalry was coming from afar.

Li Xun smiled: "You wait here, I will go up to meet them." ”

After that, Li Xun rode forward, and Hua Shaosheng hurriedly led dozens of personal soldiers and followed.

"Brother Feidu, don't come for a few years, don't come unharmed!"

The two teams of people approached at a gallop, and the sound of Li Xun laughing was already heard.

"Brother Li Xun, I haven't seen you for a few years, but my brother wants you to die."

Zhao Feidu also laughed and said.

Between the words, the two teams of people have gathered in one place, and the leader is an old man in his fifties, who is Xu Chengliang.

Although Xu Chengliang was born as a military general, he is very thin, not as strong as a soldier, and his temperament is also elegant, and the whole person looks more like a civilian official.

Li Xun turned over and dismounted, bowed to Xu Chengliang, and saluted respectfully: "Li Xun greets General Xu." ”

In terms of official position, he should be low, his age should be young, and his qualifications and prestige cannot be compared with the other party, but Xu Chengliang greeted him for dozens of miles, so polite, so courteous, Li Xun can't be ignorant of good or bad, I don't know if it's deep or shallow, others give you face and respect, and I naturally have to return it with courtesy, which is the most basic courtesy.

Seeing Li Xun's attitude, Xu Chengliang had a smile on his face, nodded, and said politely: "General Li is young and promising, and the old man has been friends for a long time. ”

Li Xun was naturally modest, and after a few conversations, Xu Chengliang's face turned straight and said, "General Li, if you are not in a hurry, come with me to the state." ”

Zhao Feidu also said on the side: "We have prepared the wine, eaten, and rest for one night before leaving, it's not too late." ”

Li Xun pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and glanced at Hua Shaosheng on the side, who understood, turned the horse's head, rushed back, and informed everyone that he would rest in the state tonight.

Li Xun got back on the horse, and everyone moved forward unhurriedly.

Through some conversation, Li Xun had a detailed understanding of the current situation, and his face became heavy.

The war in Longyou officially started three days ago.

The 100,000-strong army stationed in the Broken Dragon Fort in Tibet suddenly launched an attack three days ago.

On the first road, the Tibetan general Anmo led an army of 70,000 and entered the siege of the state.

On the second road, 20,000 Tibetan soldiers entered Langzhou.

On the third road, 10,000 elite Tibetan guards, under the leadership of Gewa's brother Gewa male worker, raided Shanzhou at night, attacked it unprepared, Shanzhou City was almost breached, Zhonglang General Yu Heng led 3,000 defenders, desperately resisted, so that there was no danger to defend the city, repelled the incoming enemy.
