On September 15 of the third year of Xianheng, Li Xian sent a recital to the eastern capital in Longzhou, the prince got the letter, thought it was a good opportunity to suppress the future, and discussed it with the henchmen, and then reported to Gaozong, the emperor heard the details of Li Xian's assassination, he was furious, and issued an edict to investigate the case thoroughly. Wang Yunan died, and the Longdong bandits Sha Wanli and Huyan Tiexin disappeared, which is suspected to be caused by the chaos caused by the remnants of the "Black Wind Thieves".

Suspicious cases, and suspicious cases, Gaozong was so angry with this endless suspicious case that he was sick again, and in his anger, he issued four edicts in a row - one of them, the three clans of Zhao, Zhang, and Wang were all exiled to Leizhou, and they were not pardoned in case of amnesty, and the four Xianzhuang villages in Hebei involved in the case were demolished, and all the old and young in the village were sold into slavery; Second, the Criminal Department was ordered to issue a document on sea arrest, clearly ordering all prefectures to arrest Sha Wanli, Huyan Tiexin, and others; Third, all government affairs were in charge of the crown prince Li Xian, and the prime ministers such as Pei Xingjian and Liu Renliang were all appointed as senior subordinate officials of the East Palace such as the prince's concubines and left and right concubines, so as to assist the prince in governing the country; Fourth, send the officials of the Ministry of Rites to comfort Li Xian and the troops in front of the Hexi Army, but before the officials of the Ministry of Rites left the border of Henan, Li Xian had already received a flying pigeon from the Eastern Capital, this time seeing that things were as he expected, in addition to shaking his head and smiling bitterly, but he didn't know what to say, because of the current enemy, Li Xian had neither the heart nor the ability to care about those things in the court, and now there was something that made Li Xian annoyed - the grain transport team was robbed!

This war started suddenly, Li Xian's army in Hezhou was in a hurry, and it was impossible to bring enough grain and straw in the army, so Zhang Cambodia could only preside over the important task of mobilizing grain and heavy baggage in the back, and set up the logistics camp in the Heishi Mountain camp, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, with 5,000 elite soldiers guarding from Yumen Pass, and was not afraid of the strong attack of the Tubo army, but the road from the Black Stone Mountain camp to the Caohan City of more than 300 miles was not so easy to walk, during which the terrain was complex, there were hills, rivers, and endless prairies, There are too many places that can be ambushed, and under the lack of troops, even if Li Xian can, it is impossible to fortify everywhere, and the Tubo army is on the side, Li Xian does not dare to send too many troops to escort the grain, so that the Tubo army is given the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob, just yesterday, a grain transport team was robbed by the Tubo cavalry, and hundreds of officers and soldiers were defeated and killed!

Grain, Li Xian's army still has some, it is not a problem to pay for more than ten days, but at this time there are still more than 20 days before the arrival of winter, such a little grain, no matter how much you save it, it is not enough, this grain has to be transported forward, but if you can't ensure safety, how much can only be cheapened by the Tubo people, how to solve the sneak attack of the Tubo army has become a difficult problem in front of Li Xian.

In the final analysis, the number of troops is still insufficient, if Li Xian can have more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, this problem will not be difficult to solve at all - Li Xian has already carefully calculated the strength comparison of the two sides, and it is clear that it is clear that at least 40,000 troops are needed to hold the camp of Caohan City, and at present, there are only 45,000 troops in the camp of Caohan City, which is just barely enough, and no matter how few, there will be problems in defense, in other words, the mobile force in Li Xian's hands is just a pitiful 5,000 men and horses, even if they are all sent out to escort grain and grassYou must know that the Tubo cavalry who robbed the grain yesterday dispatched a full 10,000 troops, and it is obvious that without a careful plan, this grain will not be transported to the front-line camp anyway.

Fight, no matter how difficult it is, you have to fight, you must beat the Tubo army who came to rob the grain, in order to ensure the safety of the grain transport team, this is undoubtedly a thing, Li Xian's heart is very clear, but how to fight this battle is very particular, after all, Li Xian does not want to have a head-on duel with the strong Tubo army, what he can do is to make full use of the psychology of the Tubo army to rob the grain to design a perfect trap, of course, if you want to lure the Tubo people to take the bait, it is by no means an easy thing, for this reason, Li Xian has been staying up all night alone in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he has thought of one method after another, but he doesn't dare to say that he will win, after all, there is only a little mobile force at hand, if the whole family loses it, the consequences will be unimaginably unbearable.

"Someone!"

When the interruption continues, it will be disturbed! Li Xian knew this truth very well, and after deducing the large sand table dozens of times, seeing that it was really impossible to achieve a 100% success rate, Li Xian no longer wasted time, Huo Ran stood up, clapped his hands, and broke his throat loudly.

"The last general!"

Hearing Li Xian's call, Liu Ziming, who had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran into the big tent, bowed down side by side, and hurriedly answered.

"Go, call Li He and Xu Yuanmao to see Gu immediately."

Li Xian didn't talk much nonsense, and gave the order directly.

"No!"

Liu Ziming responded respectfully, hurriedly withdrew from the big tent of the Chinese army, and within a few moments, he accompanied Li and Xu Er General to walk in from outside the tent.

"The last general, Li He (Xu Yuanmao), see His Highness!"

General Li and Xu Erjun entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and when they saw Li Xian sitting on the top with a solemn expression, they didn't dare to make a mistake, so they hurriedly rushed forward and saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, yesterday our army's grain transport team was wiped out, hundreds of soldiers were stained with blood and yellow sand, I think the two generals already know, and I won't say much, today I called you and others to come, that is, you want to wait for the whole army to escort the grain, I don't know what the two generals think?" Li Xianxu raised his hand, signaled the second general to be flat, and then opened his mouth with a slight trace of pain.

"The last general will obey the order and will live up to His Highness's trust!"

Li He has always obeyed Li Xian's orders, and since Li Xian has orders, he will not have the slightest ambiguity, so he will obey the promise first.

"Your Highness, the thief army deceived our army with few soldiers, so we dared to arbitrarily divide our troops and cut off my grain route, if we go to transport grain again, I am afraid that the thief army will come to raid again, and we must be prepared."

Xu Yuanmao is a veteran, he is more cautious by nature, and he does not dare to accept orders easily, but cautiously reminds him.

"General Xu, you don't understand, His Highness asked me to wait, how can there be no good strategy to break the enemy, I just follow His Highness's plan, and we will return with a great victory!"

As soon as he heard Xu Yuanmao say this, Li Heke couldn't help it, in his opinion, Xu Yuanmao was questioning Li Xian's authority, and he unceremoniously refuted Xu Yuanmao.

"Hmm!"

Li Xian glared at Li He unhappily, so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth, his face was solemn, and he pretended to be serious, but the skin between his eyebrows and eyes could not be concealed, and he couldn't hide it, so he couldn't hide it, and he couldn't even laugh and cry, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it, so he coughed fakely, took out a bag, handed it to Xu Yuanmao, and said with a smile: "General Xu, this time the grain transportation is mainly by you, Li He is the auxiliary, there is a bag here, and then put it away first, if it is on the way to transport grain, the enemy is attacking, then open it!" ”

"No!"

Xu Yuanmao couldn't understand what trick Li Xian was playing, and his stomach was full of doubts and puzzles, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he could only answer the promise loudly, and respectfully stretched out his hand to take the bag.

"Li He!"

Li Xian set his eyes on Li He, who was a little unhappy, and drank calmly, which made Li He's body shake suddenly.

"The last general!"

Li He and Xu Yuanmao are both military positions of Zhonglang generals, and they are equal to each other's status, and they think that they are Li Xian's descendants, and they are a little unhappy about Xu Yuanmao being the main general, but when they saw Li Xian's eyes, they were taken aback, how dare they be very jealous, and they hurriedly bowed down and hurriedly replied.

"Gu Ling'er immediately led his troops and General Xu to rush back to the camp of Heishi Mountain, after arriving, Mr. Zhang will give an explanation to you, just do it, if there is anything wrong, be careful of your skin!" Li Xian glanced at Li He coldly, and commanded in a cold voice.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

Li Xian's majesty is not fun, Li He has already understood it many times, this time seeing Li Xian's face, how dare he have a very negligent mind, he can only respectfully accept the order.

"That's the best, let's go down and prepare!"

Seeing that Li He had already restrained his careful thoughts, Li Xian was just for himself, waved his hand, gave an order to expel the guests, and sent the two generals out of the Chinese army's big tent, and then stretched out viciously, only then did he realize that he was already sleepy and panicked, thinking that there was nothing to do, so he paced back to the back tent, fell heavily on the marching bed, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, the person had fallen asleep soundly......

"Flip him, Wobba, you bastard, use some strength, lift, hurry, work harder!"

"Manggu, resist, resist, sweep with your feet, quick, sweep him with your feet!"

"Good job, lift, lift ......"

……

Just when Li Xian was sleeping soundly, the Chinese army tent in the Tubo camp was a lot of commotion, and a celebration banquet was going on in a grand and heavy place - although the victory of the grain robbery was only a small victory, but for the Tubo army that had suffered repeated setbacks, it was a morale-boosting victory, Gar Qinling would not let go of this opportunity to enhance the morale of the army, so he ordered a feast for the three armies, at this time, the wine was half drunk, a wrestling wrestling was going on nervously, and both sides of the competition were the most prestigious wrestlers in the army. Compared with the generals, it can be said that they are evenly matched, and both sides have their own supporters, and the cheers and cheers are so loud that the big tent is almost overturned.

"Report, Prime Minister, the Tang thief Xu Yuanmao and Li He's two troops with a total of 5,000 troops have left the camp and are rushing in the direction of Heishi Mountain!"

Just when there was a lot of commotion in the tent, a newspaper horse hurriedly arrived and reported the dynamics of **, and the hustle and bustle of the audience suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the eyes of all the generals fell on the body of Gar Qinling, who frowned slightly......
