Chapter Twenty-Six: The Swift General in the Wind

Huangyuan Stone Fort City!

Huangyuan County is an important place between the Huangshui River Basin and the Qinghai Lake area, and has been known as the "Hai-Tibet Thoroughfare" since ancient times, and is a vital strategic fortress in the upper reaches of the Yellow River. The stone castle city www.biquge.info is backed by Huashi Mountain, facing the Yaoshui River, and is located on a maroon cliff. The cliff in front is steep, and the mountains on both sides are varied, such as the goshawk spreading its wings, which is intimidating, so it has the title of "Slaughtering Eagle in the Mountains".

In the future, it will be this stone castle city, so that Wang Zhonghe, who holds the 300,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty and the handsome seal of the four towns, almost framed Li Linfu to death, made the famous general Ge Shuhan famous, and let the poet Du Fu leave the famous story of "Soldier Chariot Travel".

In this strategic place, hundreds of thousands of warriors from the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were buried under the mountain in order to compete for this place.

Shang Tsan Po is the commander of Shibao City, his father and grandfather are famous Wenchen in Tibet, Zhenguan years in the Tang Dynasty to study, learned a lifetime of governing the world, for the internal reform of Tibet, made great contributions. Shang Tsan Po was born in a family of Wenchen, but since childhood worship the Tubo military god Garqin Mausoleum, since childhood study military practice martial arts, become a new star general in Tubo, has replaced the older generation of Qili Xu, Kun Dayan momentum.

Compared with the defeat of Kilixu and Kundayan in the Tang Dynasty, Shang Zanpo defeated the sneak attacks of the Tang army many times in Shibao City, making the Tang army unable to advance, which is even more admirable and convincing.

Shang Tsan Po is also very ambitious, especially in the letter from his father not long ago, the fiasco of Kili Xu and Ku Dayan made Zampu Chide Zuzan extremely dissatisfied with them, and he was willing to promote some young and strong generals to replace the outdated veterans. He Shang Zanpo is one of the members of the assessment, but in terms of merit, he is inferior. As long as you make a little more merit, you can go further.

The captain is a general, and in further, that is handsome!

Although it is a step away from the handsome, the difference is self-evident.

Shibao City holds the throats of Shanzhou and Kuozhou, like a steel needle piercing the vital point of the Tang Dynasty, and can threaten the existence of Shanzhou and Kuozhou anytime and anywhere. Shang Tsangpo also wanted to follow Marpa's example and invade the two states of Shan, Kuo, brush up on his presence, accumulate merits, and strive for further progress. It's just that the two states of Shanxi and Kuo are not as chicken as Taozhou, and the two states of Shanxi and Kuo are connected to Liangzhou in the Western Regions and guard the Hexi Corridor, which is extremely important to the Tang Dynasty.

Guo Zhiyun, the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu, was directly stationed in Shanzhou, and Kuozhou was also garrisoned by the five armies, and the guards were particularly deep and strict.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly received news from the south, the Tang army attacked the Tibetan camp and plundered 25,000 sheep, 3,000 cattle, and 3,000 horses......

Before the messenger could speak, Shang Zanpo was a little dumbfounded, it had always been them who had invaded the Tang Dynasty and plundered the things of the Tang Dynasty, how could it be reversed?

"Is Marpa a donkey? actually let the Tang people rob his camp, where are the others? Marpa said with a bit of schadenfreude, his tone a little sarcastic.

This infighting is human nature, not the preserve of the Han Chinese. The Tang Dynasty is infighting, and Tubo is actually not much better.

As rising star generals, Shangtsampa and Marpa are currently the most prestigious ones and belong to rivals. In recent years, Marpa's record has been really beautiful, and even more so than that of Chantsampo. If it weren't for the fact that in the face of Pei Min for more than half a year, Marpa would have been promoted to the rank of captain by virtue of his exploits in Jiukou Taozhou.

Pei Min's original rumor plan was so successful, not necessarily because Shang Zanpo's father was secretly fueling the flames to suppress Marpa to improve his son's status.

Now seeing Marpa eating deflated, Shang Tsangpo is not sad but happy.

The messenger ignored Shang Tsangpo's attitude, this immortal fight had nothing to do with them, and continued to report the situation, when he learned that Pei Min was stationed in Guang'en Town, and Marpa's whereabouts were unknown, his expression changed greatly, and he said angrily: "Marba should be punished for his crimes!" "It's not schadenfreude, it's really angry, anxious!

Hexi Jiuqu is of great significance to Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and can be described by the word "portal".

Whoever owns the Jiuqu Land in Hexi will master the other party's portal!

The Jiuqu land in Hexi is in the hands of Tubo, and Tubo can threaten the Longyou fortress of the Tang Dynasty anytime and anywhere; If it is in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will be able to Chen Soldier Qinghai Lake and compete with Tubo for the interests of Qinghai Lake.

Qinghai Lake is the only center of agriculture and animal husbandry in Tibet, similar to the Jianghuai region of the Tang Dynasty. If Qinghai Lake is lost, for Tubo, it is equivalent to a goshawk breaking its wings.

This is also the reason why Tubo did not hesitate to use all kinds of despicable means to seize Jiuqu in Hexi.

In order to prevent Qinghai Lake from being threatened, and in order to be able to threaten the Longyou of the Tang Dynasty, Hexi Jiuqudi cannot be lost in any case. And Guang'en Town is located in the south of the Jiuqu Land in Hexi, once the Tang army takes root in Guang'en Town, just like the stone castle city he occupies. It can threaten the Jiuqudi of Hexi anytime and anywhere. And it is connected with Taozhou, and the soldiers and horses come and go freely, threatening the safety of Jiuqu in Hexi at all times.

At that time, it was not their Tubo invasion of Koutao Prefecture, but the Tang Dynasty's invasion of Jiuqu Land in Hexi.

Hexi Jiuqudi is not as important as Qinghai Lake, but it is also a place of abundant water and grass for animal husbandry.

What's more, once the Jiuqu Land in Hexi is lost, Shibao City will lose its strategic value.

Shang Zanpo, as a new star general of Tubo, has his own good intelligence and foresight, and when he figured this out, he exclaimed anxiously: "Tell me, when did the Tang army enter Guang'en Town?" ”

The messenger said, "Today is daytime! ”

When Shang Zanpo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately laughed and said, "Great, there is still a chance!" Quick, immediately order the troops and horses, follow me south, and recapture Guang'en Town. ”

I am worried that I don't have the opportunity to make meritorious service, but I don't want the opportunity to make meritorious service.

The town of Guang'en has been abandoned for a long time, and the number of Shence troops is only 6,000, and he has 20,000 cavalry at his disposal, which is enough to deal with it.

Time was pressing, Shang Zanpo no longer hesitated, and immediately told the deputy general to be careful of the Tang army's sneak attack, and led 20,000 cavalry to Guangen Town.

They are located in the northernmost part of the Jiuqu Land in Hexi, while Guangen Town is located in the southernmost part, only two hundred miles apart.

In Shang Zanpo's eyes, two hundred miles is indeed just that.

Shang Tsan Po set off at dawn, the evening of the day has approached Guang'en Town, nearly two hundred miles away, Shang Tsan Po rushed in less than half a day, although there is the convenience of the grassland to facilitate running, the speed is also extremely terrifying.

Of course, this also varies from person to person, and Chantsampa is a general in history who is good at using cavalry to attack. If history does not change, in the near future, he will take advantage of the fatigue of the Tang Dynasty to deal with the Anshi Rebellion, and rush to Chang'an City in one breath, forcing the Tang Dynasty to abandon the capital and flee.

Shang Zanpo, a famous Tibetan general, did not have the experience and experience of a hundred battles at that time, but in this rush, he has shown a unique talent.

So much so that Pei Min, who got the news in Guangen Town, couldn't help but be slightly stunned: "It's so fast!" ”

"How many centaurs?" He asked again.

The scout said: "No less than 20,000 ......"

"his grandpa!" Pei Min couldn't help but curse a dirty word, the entire Guangen Town was only four thousand soldiers, and five times the enemy came directly, he really looked up to himself too much, his eyes purred, and he smiled: "Quick, hide the winch crossbow on the building!" Don't let the other party find out, Lao Tzu wants to give them a big gift! He laughed and shouted to all the soldiers to prepare for battle.

The 20,000 cavalry was mighty, and the dust covered the sky and the sun, and from a distance, it seemed like a surging tide, which was extremely terrifying.

Pei Min pointed to the opposite side and laughed: "Tubo child, the work of plowing the ground is good!" Fortunately, we don't raise cattle and sheep, otherwise we will ruin the flowers and plants in this place, and we will have to finish with them. ”

As a soldier, the record is the only way to prove him. After the previous battle, Pei Min annihilated nearly 8,000 Tibetan soldiers and plundered 30,000 cattle in one fell swoop with very few casualties.

The miraculous level of command and layout gave a deep impression to the Shence soldiers, and he was especially convinced.

The strength of the Shence Army has reached the elite level, but it has little actual combat experience and insufficient mentality, so it is not a real elite. Before, they played extremely well against a similar number of people. Now seeing the enemy's momentum, I can't help but be a little frightened. Seeing that Pei Min still had the heart to make fun of him, he was calm and calm, and his heart was inexplicably stable, waiting for the enemy to attack.

Pei Min looked at the vast dust and smoke, curious in his heart, I don't know what kind of expression they will have when they see Guang'en Town now, but unfortunately, they can't see it with their own eyes.

Coincidentally!

Shang Tsangpo actually had the same idea!

He had already arrived within half a mile of Guang'en Town, looking at the small black shadow in the distance, with a hideous smile on his face. His concept of employing troops is the word "fast", and the biggest characteristic of cavalry is mobility, and he believes that as long as the mobility is brought into full play, he will be able to seize the lead in everything and be invincible in battle.

He was extremely confident in the speed of his march, thinking about the group of soldiers of the Tang Army who marched on two legs, knowing that they would march two hundred miles in half a day, how would they react?

In fact, he is arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is. The speed of his march was indeed commendable, but it was far from enough to shock Pei Min: in the Han Dynasty, the great general Wei Qing could still march 500 miles in one day and one night without stirrups. If it is equipped with stirrups, with Wei Qing's ability, it is possible for 600 miles. Shang Zanpo's current speed is fast, compared with the sages, but what is the way?

Getting closer and closer to Guangen Town, Shang Zanpo was eager to see Tang Jun's bewildered and shocked expression!

shouted and shouted that the soldiers under his command continued to rush forward, and if possible, rushed directly into the city, and decided the victory in one fell swoop......

Shang Zanpo thought so, but when he entered within three hundred steps of Guang'en Town, he was stunned to find that what appeared in front of him was a walled city of no small scale!

There are many soldiers on the walled city, and they are calmly watching their arrival!

……

……

……

Mrs. Shang Zanpo couldn't help but hold the reins, looking at the scene in front of her, dumbfounded!

The battle happened yesterday, and it took the emergency messenger to rush to Huangyuan Stone Fort City in the middle of the night, and he spent half a day leading the army to kill!

It's just a day and a night!

Walled City!

What's the situation?

How can it be?

Haunted?

Shang Zanpo is messy in the wind!
