Chapter 615: Separate Plans

"Li Ze has such a big appetite!" After listening to Helianbo's report and reading the letter written to him by Li Ze, Du Youcai only popped out of his mouth for a long time. "He actually wanted to leave all of Laza's 100,000 Tibetan troops in Yinzhou."

When Du Liang and Dai Lin heard this, they all looked at each other.

After a long time, Dai Lin asked, "Jie Shuai, Li Ze, how many troops has he invested?" ”

"The one who just saved Changze and has entered Yinzhou is the general under Li Ze, and the nearly 20,000 cavalry under the command of Li De, who is currently the general of the Right Military Guard. The 20,000 cavalry consisted of the cavalry of the two armies of the Right Wuwei and the Left Jinwuwei. At this moment in Hedong, there are Zhang Jia's right guard, Wang Sili's left Qianniuwei, and Liu Ruyan's right Qianniuwei are crossing Suizhou, intending to go to the rear of Laza, and behind Liu Ruyan, is the left Weiwei commanded by Tu Lichun, if you add the left Wuwei commanded by Han Qi and Li Cunzhong in Yinzhou, this time Li Ze invested a total of five guards' soldiers and horses. Among them, Li Ze's personal guard battalion is not counted. Du Youcai raised the letter in his hand and said.

Du Liang was speechless and said: "Li Ze's twelve guards, if each guard is full, it should be 40,000 soldiers and horses, but it has not been fully staffed, except for Li Cunzhong's Zuo Wuwei, who has 40,000 people, the most of the other guards is only 30,000, but even so, the five guards have more than 150,000 troops, Li Ze, how did he mobilize such a large army in just a few months!" ”

Du Youcai glanced at his son and said: "This can only show one thing, that is, Li Ze is well aware of the invasion of Tibet, so he has prepared everything in advance, and with an order, all armies can be dispatched immediately." This is a big plan that has been planned for a long time. ”

"A big plan that has been planned for a long time?" Du Liang was a little dazed.

Du Youcai sighed: "Tiande and we, although we also expressed our loyalty to the Zhenzhou Emperor, but in fact, we are still doing our own thing, although Hedong is under Li Ze's command, but it is self-contained, the Yin and Yang in the river are violated, and under the rule of Li Ze, the interior has actually been turbulent, and there are great hidden dangers inside, haha, a good Li Ze, a good calculation, a big war with Tubo, all these hidden dangers have been eliminated." ”

Dai Lin nodded: "Jie Shuai is right. Delhi Chian defeated Peng Fang, but finally made a wedding dress for Li Ze, and the same is true for Hedong, Delhi Chi Nan became a knife in Li Ze's hand, cleaning up all the potential opposition forces that Li Ze did not want to do directly, and Li Ze only had to harvest Delhi Chi Nan in the end. If you want to come to Tiande, the people of Hedong are now grateful to Li Ze, after all, it was Li Ze's troops who saved them from the swords of the Tubo people. As for those people in the river, they thought that the opportunity had come, but Li Ze had already laid a net, just waiting for them to jump in, right? ”

"You're right, those people led by the Fang clan in the river have been cut down and eradicated by Li Ze because of their collusion with pseudo-Liang. Even a unit of Pseudo-Liang who came to support was also set a trap by Tu Lichun, surrounded and slaughtered cleanly. Du Youcai sighed: "Now, only we are left in Ansui." ”

"We still have 50,000 troops in Xiazhou!" Du Liang looked at his father, who was a little discouraged, and said unconvinced: "We are not Peng Fang. Since Li Ze wrote a letter to his father, I believe he also understands that now he also needs us, at least we need to drag Tocharian so that he can have a chance to kill Laza. If Tocharian and Raza were to join forces, it would be impossible to say who would win and who would lose this battle? ”

Du Youcai grinned and did not answer his son's words, but looked down at the letter in his hand, as if it was not a single word, but a delicate embroidered flower.

"Marshal, what else is written in the letter?" Dai Lin asked.

"Li Ze said in the letter that Delhi Chinan surrendered to him, and he had already released Delhi Chinan and allowed Delhi Chinan to return to Tibet from the Tiande region with thousands of henchmen." Du Youcai let out a long breath.

Dai Lin gasped and exclaimed: "Good calculation, good heart, good poison, no, no, no, it's a good strategy." ”

Du Liang didn't understand for a while. Seeing that he was a little ignorant, Dai Lin explained: "Young marshal, Delhi Chinan is a great nobleman in Tubo, and he has great influence in Tubo. Because of Tocharo's overwhelming advantage, Delhi Chinan had to from, of course, if the Tibetans won this time, Delhi Chinan would naturally be the first-class credit. Now that Li Ze has put Delhi China back, where does Tocharian still have the heart to entangle with us here? ”

"If Tocharian wants to save Laza, he has to go deep into Yinzhou, that is a big battle of hundreds of thousands of people, 200,000 Tubo troops against Li Ze's 150,000 army, of course, Tocharian still has to prevent us from cutting off his back road, which is an extremely difficult choice for Tocharo. Maybe he won't lose this battle, but how long this battle will last, I'm afraid he can't predict it at all. Under the condition that Tocharo is not in Tubo, and under the condition that his elite forces are all in Ansui, he can think of what Delhi Chinan will do after he goes back with his ass! Du Youcai shook his head and said: "Tocharo has been in power in the country for so many years, he doesn't give face to the living Buddha, and Zampu is his puppet, when you say that Tubo has a chance to get rid of him, will everyone give up all their prejudices, save together, and overthrow Tocharo first?" If nothing else, just cutting off Tocharo's logistics can make Tocharian fall into the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will never be able to turn over. ”

"So, Tocharo won't go to save Raza at all, but will hurriedly return to Tibet?" Du Liang said.

Du Youcai pondered for a moment and said: "If it were me, I would do this, although I would lose Zara's 100,000 troops, but I would stay in the green mountains, I was not afraid of running out of firewood, as long as I could still grasp the power of Tibet, then there would always be a time to return." But the Tocharian generation of heroes, I don't dare to figure out what to arrange. ”

"Jie Shuai, what are we going to do now? According to Li Ze's arrangement, will you attack in an all-round way and drag Tocharo? Dai Lin said.

Du Youcai turned to look at the map, and said for a long time: "If Tocharian goes to Yinzhou to rescue Laza, then we don't need to send troops, we can complete the containment of Tocharian in Xiazhou, and if Tocharian fails, we can beat the water dogs." And if Tocharian chooses to abandon Raza and retreat, we will attack on all fronts, chase Raza closely, and if we want to retreat calmly in front of me, we will have to pay some price, and more importantly, we will have to take back the place we lost, which will make our waists straighter and more confident when we speak in front of Li Ze in the future. ”

Dai Lin nodded knowingly: "The section commander has a point. Even if we really belong to Li Ze's rule in the future, we must try to maintain our independence. And this requires the army, and it needs to be able to take the credit. ”

Du Youcai smiled and said: "Another point, no matter when, Tubo will be a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and Du has been confronting the Tubo people for decades, and no one is more experienced than me when it comes to the experience of dealing with the Tubo people, so at that time, Li Ze still wants to borrow from me." ”

Dai Lin couldn't help laughing: "That section is handsome, I'll go down and arrange it." ”

The Tubo camp, inside the huge military tent, is as silent as death, all the generals are solemn, the changes in the battle situation are dazzling, Raza in Yinzhou Fuyuan against Han Qi Li Cunzhong, although he has the absolute upper hand, but he can't attack for a long time, and with Li De's nearly 20,000 Tang cavalry appeared in Yinzhou, it means that Tubo has fallen into a very dangerous situation in this war.

"Da Lun, the latest news from the scouts, that Tang cavalry has changed course and is heading in the direction of Yinzhou." One of the generals said worriedly: "Please send troops immediately, otherwise Raza will be in danger." ”

Tocharo exhaled heavily, and said: "What makes Raza dangerous is not the 20,000 Tang cavalry, but the main force of the Tang army inserted from Suizhou, Liu Ruyan's Right Qianniuwei and Tu Lichun's Zuo Weiwei, together, have more than 60,000 troops. ”

"Is it too late for Raza to retreat at this time?" Someone asked.

"It's too late!" Another general stood up: "The 100,000 troops under the command of Laza are not just going to be able to go, they have to eat and drink along the way, and with the 20,000 Tang cavalry cutting off the grain route, their logistics supply can no longer be guaranteed, and in this place of Yinzhou, there is not much food to be raised on the spot, and more importantly, there is now a staggered enemy and us." It's time to make a decision. ”

"Is it possible to abandon Raza's 100,000 army?" Some were shocked and angry, and shouted against it.

Tocharian kept his face composed, not saying a word. He didn't think about Raza's army at all in his mind now, but about the situation at home, his defeat seemed inevitable, and once this news was known by the country, it would inevitably cause chaos in the country. And Li Ze's release of Delhi Chinan gave him a heavy blow.

"Gesang!" He looked up suddenly.

Hearing Tocharo's words, the military tent immediately fell silent.

"You go back first, start the Skyfire Project!" Tocharian commanded thoughtlessly.

Most of the people in the tent didn't know what the Tianhuo plan was, but Gesang was obviously very clear. He immediately bowed down and said, "Yes, big talk." ”

Seeing that Gesang turned around and left the military tent, Tocharo let out a long breath: "Everyone, the current form is already obvious, we have failed, so we have to prepare to retreat." Send a message to Raza and tell him to retreat and prepare to break out, I can't go to his rescue. He's an old friend of mine, and of course he understands my mind. No matter how many people he can escape, I don't blame him. Please take care of him, even if he is the only one left to escape, that is okay. ”
