Chapter 382 is digging a pit

Heishi Mountain, a branch of Qilian Mountain, a small hill that is not very famous, is located in the Hehuang Valley at the junction of Qinghai and the Hexi Corridor, there is a long and narrow valley in the middle of the mountain, it is one of the passes of the Hexi Corridor into Qinghai, it is the main road of trade, it belongs to a section of the South Silk Road, but since the fight between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, this road has been depressed, the grand occasion of the busy traffic in previous years has long been gone, replaced by a fortress-style military fortress that blocks the entire road, can only be used for baggage transfer, business travel extinct, The pass inevitably seems a lot more barren, but, since the fight five days ago, there are countless soldiers and horses from all over the place have gathered here, so far more than 30,000 soldiers and horses have rushed to the pass, turning this place into a huge military camp, people roaring and neighing, dispelling the gloom in the past, until the noise is full of mountain beasts and birds flying frightened, and how noisy, but Li Xian was not moved at all, silently squatting in front of the huge sand table, thinking quietly, like a sculpture.

The order to gather troops has already been issued, and the actions of the soldiers and horses in the states are also very fast, but the roads in each state are far and near, and the soldiers and horses in places such as Lanzhou and Tianshui have been in the past three days, but the soldiers and horses in Wuwei, Zhangye and other places are still on the way to march in a hurry, and if you really want to gather the troops and horses from all walks of life, you obviously have to wait, this speed naturally cannot satisfy Li Xian, and what makes Li Xian even more troublesome is that the soldiers and horses in each state are not subordinate to each other, and the military quality of the soldiers is also uneven. Li Xian, who was born partially, really didn't have the time to reorganize the army and govern the army, it was obviously a problem to fight against the more than 200,000 Tubo army with such a miscellaneous army, but Li Xian had no choice, he had to fight this battle, and he couldn't lose, at least he had to keep the original territory of the states without losing, this difficulty was so great that Rao was Li Xianwu skipped others, and his head was as big as a fight, and he didn't sleep for a few days, and his eyes were as red as rabbits.

"Your Highness, the urgent report from Shanzhou and Hezhou has arrived!"

As soon as the closed door curtain moved, Lin Chengbin had already flashed in from outside the tent, holding two small copper pipes in his hands, walked behind Li Xian, and whispered.

"Oh?"

Li Xian raised his head, said lightly, didn't say much, reached out and took the copper pipe, twisted the hidden button, and passed it quickly, his face immediately showed a hint of joy, the corners of his mouth bent, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Your Highness, but the front is victorious?"

Seeing Li Xian smile at this time, Lin Chengbin's anxious heart calmed down, and he asked playfully.

"Well, Li He's kid played well, relieved the siege of Hezhou, and didn't waste his hard work." Li Xian has always regarded Lin Chengbin as a confidant, and he also has the heart to cultivate, and he will not hide too much from him in the military aspect, he smiled, and handed the two pieces of information to Lin Chengbin casually, but he squatted down again, stared at the sand table, and chewed the obtained information carefully, after a while, Huo Ran got up, clapped his palms, and ordered loudly: "Order: The whole army will be drawn immediately, and the army will march to Hezhou in a hurry, and order the soldiers and horses from all walks of life who have not arrived to speed up, and the time limit is three days, and they must rush to Hezhou to meet, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"No!"

Lin Chengbin was captured as a slave with Xue Rengui's defeat in Dafeichuan, and he had a deep hatred with the Tubo people, and he thought day and night that he wanted to take revenge.

"Slowly, the three prefectures of Tonglingkuo, Shan, and Fang will abide by the state governance, and they must not send troops to attack the enemy without authorization, and those who violate the order will be killed!" Without waiting for Lin Chengbin to walk to the door of the tent, Li Xianyi raised his hand and stopped Lin Chengbin's footsteps, frowned, and gave the death order with a cold expression.

"Yes, the last general obeys!"

As soon as he heard this, Lin Chengbin was stunned at first, and then quickly came to his senses, knowing that Li Xian was worried that under the blind movement of the states, he would be ambushed by the enemy, so he didn't dare to ignore it, so he hurriedly agreed to the promise and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it.

"Qinling old thief, want to dig a pit for us to jump? Hehe, then come on, let's see whose pit is bigger! Li Xian didn't say anything more, watched Lin Chengbin come out of the big tent, looked back at the sand table on the ground, shook his hands, and muttered to himself, his words were full of confidence......

"Report, Prime Minister, Anxi Tang cavalry rushed to Hezhou, General Hertzzan was suddenly attacked, the soldiers were frustrated, and now they are trapped in the camp, please make it clear."

Under the city of Shanzhou, Gar Qinling, who was dressed in armor, stood on horseback in the Chinese army, looking solemnly at the head of Shanzhou City, which was fighting fiercely, and rushed to the city with a report horse, bringing a bad news.

"Huh?"

As soon as he heard that it was the Anxi army that had been killed, Gar Qinling's brows couldn't help frowning, and he glanced at the newspaper horse, but he didn't ask for details, but just whispered softly.

"Prime Minister, General Hertzzan has a report here, please take a look!"

Seeing Gar Qinling's unhappy face, the newspaper horse did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly took out a roll of cloth from his bosom, held it in both hands, and handed it to Gar Qinling's horse.

"Herald: Collect the troops!"

As soon as Gar Qinling stretched out his hand, took the cloth, spread it out, glanced at it quickly, and did not say much, but quietly raised his hand and issued an order to collect the troops, and then, without waiting for the siege troops to retreat, he rode his horse in the direction of the camp, and the generals who gathered around him saw this, and they did not dare to slack off, and followed behind Gar Qinling......

"Second brother, Hertzzan's words are exaggerated, and they are useless, if they are allowed to fight like this again, a big defeat is inevitable, the younger brother is not talented, and he is willing to replace him, so as to take Hezhou as the goal!"

As soon as Gar Qinling returned to the camp, he immediately entered the big tent of the Chinese army, and he did not have the intention of convening the generals to discuss the matter, nor did he go to the camps to inspect as in the past, and all the Tibetan generals did not know what he was doing, but they were afraid of the majesty of Gar Qinling, but no one dared to ask without permission, only Gar Zanpo was not afraid, and went straight into the big tent of the Chinese army, and no matter what Gar Qinling thought, he recommended himself in a slightly complaining tone.

"The third brother is not in a hurry, let Hertzzan go to Hezhou for his brother, he is measured, if he can win, it is good, if he can't, it is actually better, and now, he is defeated, for his brother to expect that Li Xian will personally lead the army to come, which is in line with the meaning of the brother!"

Seeing the angry and corrupt appearance of his third brother, Gar Qinling couldn't help laughing, pressed his hand, motioned for Gar Zanpo to take a seat, unhurriedly stroked the long beard on his chest, and explained calmly.

"What do you say about the second brother? Forgive the younger brother for being stupid, I really don't know why, and ask the second brother to make it clear. ”

As soon as he heard his brother say it so firmly, Gar Zanpo couldn't help but be stunned, and sat cross-legged opposite Gar Qinling in confusion, frowning and thinking about it, but he still had no choice but to ask.

"What does the third brother think is Li Xian?"

Gar Qinling didn't rush to explain, but asked with a smile.

"This ......" Gar Zanpo was stunned, looked at his brother suspiciously, and swallowed with difficulty: "Hero! ”

"Yes, this person has courage and knowledge, and he is a real enemy, if he doesn't get rid of it early, it will be my trouble, and now that he is here, he doesn't plan to let him get away again!" Gar Chinling smiled confidently and let out a bold remark, which made Gar Tsampa at a loss.

"That's right, but this plan will be settled?"

Gar Tsampa knew that he was far inferior to his brother in strategy, and he didn't bother to bother with that brain, so he hurriedly asked.

"Although Li Xian is brave, but the time and place are not on his side, he will fight by himself, and there will be three defeaters: first, the soldiers and horses gathered in various states are certainly strong, but the soldiers do not know the generals, the soldiers will not know the soldiers, and the people will be lacking, and the soldiers he can gather are no more than 50,000, which is not as far as our army; Second, our side is high and condescending, according to the advantages of the location, the troops and horses are ridden, the dispatch is flexible, and it is not the best to match; Third, Hexi is not the Hexi of the Han people, but the Hexi of all ethnic groups, and now that its army has been withdrawn from the states, civil strife will inevitably arise, the rear is unstable, and the front may be warned? With these three articles, our army is already a great victory, and I am also here today! Gar Qinling smiled and wrenched his fingers, and counted the truths of defeat one by one, which was well-founded, but also eloquent, and had a convincing bearing.

"Well, what the second brother said is very true, however, although the general trend is like this, how should this battle be fought?"

Gar Tsampa was also a man of knowledge, and when he thought about it, he had no reason to oppose it, but he was a cautious person after all, and he did not dance with Gar Chinling's impassioned words, and after a moment of silence, he still cautiously asked about the specific strategic arrangements.

"This matter is easy to hear, for my brother to predict that Li Xian must be planning to delay and wait for change, and the left and right are just counting on the early arrival of winter to force our army to retreat, even so, forcing it to fight is the way to victory!" Gar Qinling obviously didn't intend to hide it from his third brother, so he smiled and high-fived, giving a clear answer.

"Have to fight? This ......"

The big truth is so, this Gar Zanpo can also think, the problem is how to force Li Xian to fight a decisive battle is not a simple matter, not to mention, as long as Shanzhou is not broken, Li Xian has no reason to rush to a decisive battle, and the partial birth of Shanzhou City is not so easy to capture, this has been besieged for five days, except for the loss of more than 20,000 troops, there is no result, obviously, unless the Shanzhou soldiers and horses themselves go out of the city to find death, otherwise, just rely on the strong attack, in a few months, they want to take Shanzhou City, At this time, it was only a little more than a month before winter, and Gar Zanpo was trying to break his head, and he couldn't think of a way to quickly take Shanzhou.

"Does the third brother know where the fourth brother is now?"

Gar Qinling didn't explain more, but asked with a smile.

"Fourth brother? He's not ......"

After all, Gar Zanpo is a great general, and his eyes can't help but light up when his brother mentions this, but he doesn't dare to be completely sure, and he just says something half-heartedly.

"This matter still needs to be kept secret, the third brother must not leak it lightly, well, there is still one thing for the third brother to do overnight, I don't know if the third brother dares to do it?" Gar Qinling smiled and nodded, confirming his brother's guess, but not explicitly.

"The second brother has an order, just give orders, and the younger brother should serve his life!"

As soon as Gar Tsampa was gone, the whole person immediately became energetic, bowed, and replied respectfully.

"That's good, for my brother's ......"

Gal Chinling clinged to his brother's ear and gave the command, until he heard Gar Tsampa's eyes widen and his eyes were full of excitement......
