Chapter 200: The Tibetan Movement

In fact, before Tuyuhun was destroyed, the city of Fu Qi, located in the west of Qinghai Lake fifteen miles away is the royal capital of Tuyuhun, the city is divided into two inside and outside, the outer city is three miles long from north to south, two miles wide from east to west, the area is not large, that is, the scale of a county town in the Central Plains, but the geographical location is very important, east to Shanzhou (now Xining), Lanzhou, south to Yizhou (now Chengdu, Sichuan), west to Shanshan (now Xinjiang Wuqiang), It is a fortress-style castle on the east road of the Silk Road, its inner city is square, the length and width are 70 zhang, it is the location of the Tuyuhun palace in the past, and now, Tuyuhun has been destroyed, its palace has become the residence of the Tubo deputy prime minister Gar Qinling, because Gar Qinling set the military and political power of the east and north of Tubo, its mansion has naturally become one of the military and political centers of Tubo, in the past there were always people coming and going, but these days the old palace is a solemn quiet, that is, the people who served in the service walked, They were all cautious, not to mention making loud noises, and they didn't even dare to talk or laugh, all because Gar Chinling was keeping a vigil for his younger brother.

Pray for heaven, the main hall of the old palace, in the past was the place where the kings of Tuyuhun met the ministers, but now it is a sea of black and white, the white is the silk flower, the black is the prayer flag, the cigarette smoke is swirling, the Sanskrit singing bursts, several oil lamps are lit on the incense case in the center, under the incense case is a black coffin, there is a strong man sitting cross-legged in front of the coffin, but see its nose straight and mouth square, the beard is like a beard, the eyes open and close, the essence is flashing, not angry and self-authority, this person is the first military god of Tubo called Gar Chin Ling.

It's been three days, it's been three days, since the corpse of the corpse that was cut in two by the beating of Gar Bo's argument was sent back, Gar Qinling has been sitting silently on this mourning hall for three whole days, whether it is the advice of his generals or the report of the emergency military situation, there is no reaction from Gar Qinling, the whole person is like a wood carving clay sculpture, if it is not for his diet is still normal, everyone is afraid to ask the masters to exorcise evil spirits for him, Rao is so, the generals who are anxious about the battlefield situation can no longer wait, this is not, A group of 10,000 household chiefs crowded around Gar Zanpo, the third brother of Gar Qinling and the commander of the Tubo East Route Army, and came to the mourning hall one by one, trying to admonish them again, but all the generals were afraid of the majesty of Gar Qinling, and everyone had already arrived outside the mourning hall, but no one dared to go straight to the hall, even Gar Zanpo was also afraid to come forward to disturb his brother, but just pushed each other and chattered outside the hall.

"Let's all come in."

Before the generals could give up their heads, Gar Qinling, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the coffin, suddenly let out a long sigh and opened his mouth hoarsely.

"Second brother, the death of the younger brother is very sad, but, ah, but now the war is urgent, second brother, you see ......"

As soon as they heard Gar Qinling open his mouth, the generals did not dare to slack off, and after looking at each other, they could only walk into the hall with their heads stubborn.

"Well, sit down."

Gar Qinling ignored his brother's admonition, but pressed his hand calmly and commanded in a flat tone.

"Vice Minister Xie!"

The generals really didn't understand what Gar Qinling's thoughts were, but under the prestige, no one dared to speak nonsense, so they could only bow down and thank each other, and then sit cross-legged in the hall.

"The intention of the princes is already known, and there is no need to say it anymore, a certain heart has its own measure."

After the generals were seated, Gar Qinling looked around at everyone with bloodshot eyes, and said in a hoarse voice.

"Second brother, you say, I'll just listen."

Gar Tsampa was afraid that his brother was indulging in the pain of losing his brother and could not extricate himself, and this Gal Chinling seemed to have a strategy for the enemy, so he became excited, so he hurriedly asked a question.

"In the previous battle of Dafeichuan, our army could have ended this battle in June, do you know why it was delayed until August?"

Gar Chinling did not rush to elaborate on the specific strategy, but asked a strange question in a bland manner.

"This ......, didn't my brother say that the Tang thieves have no reinforcements outside, no grain and grass inside, and they will be in chaos after a long time, and they will take advantage of the chaos to attack them, and they should be able to win all?"

Although Gar Zanpo is also known as a wise general, but he knows that his art of war is far inferior to his second brother, at this time, listening to Gar Qinling's question, he can't help but secretly wonder, and after hesitating for a while, he replied uncertainly.

"Well, that's just a reason, now my Tubo rise has become a trend, the Tang thief has always been arrogant, how can I tolerate it, from now on, the war will be complicated, although I Tubo is not afraid, but the preparation has not stopped, strong to fight with it, there is no doubt that the decline will be in the future, if it can tolerate one or two years of rectification, then I Tubo is invincible, the reason why a certain time ago postponed the war to August, and after the victory, condescended to make peace with the Tang thief, it is to slow down this or two years of rest, but the Tang thief died my heart does not die, but went and came back, today's battle, victory is also defeat, Defeat is also defeat, and our army is congenitally disadvantaged. Gar Qinling shook his head slowly, his face solemn and extremely solemn, and there was a glint of regret in his bloodshot eyes from time to time.

"Ah, this, how is this going to be?"

"Not really."

"Dashuai, you give the order, and you should fight to the death!"

……

Gar Qinling's words were really shocking, and all the Tibetan generals were dumbfounded when they heard it, and after a long silence, suddenly all of them shouted and became angry.

"Enough!"

Gar Qinling just listened to the words of the generals silently, without the slightest expression on his face, but Gar Zanpo couldn't bear it, waved his hand, unceremoniously broke off his throat, forcibly suppressed the generals' discussions, and then looked at Gar Qinling with a look of anticipation, and said after a careful breath: "Second brother, now the Tang thieves are moving again and again, Gao Wei is gathering troops in Shanzhou, Li Jin is marching out of Yumen, and Ashina Dao is really ready to move in the Tianshan Mountains, it seems that there is a tendency to take advantage of the chaos to take Gaochang, and the war around me is about to start. However, there is Li Xian, the king of Zhou, who is troubled in my hinterland, if I don't make a plan early, I will be in danger, so I implore the second brother to get an accurate idea quickly. ”

"Hmm." Gar Qinling raised his hand and pressed it, signaling that Gar Zanpo did not need to say anything, and then sat up straight suddenly, a pair of leopard rings flashed in his eyes, stared at the eastern sky, and said slowly: "The Tang thieves are all false soldiers, only the four towns of Anxi are the purpose of the Tang thieves, however, Li Xian'er made a vain killing, wanting to destroy my roots, his crime is unforgivable, he should be captured, see that Tang Huanghe is not in harmony!" ”

"Second Brother ......"

As soon as he heard Gar Qinling's words, he seemed to have the heart to give up the four towns of Anxi, and Gar Zanpoke was anxious.

"Needless to say, although the four towns of Anxi are important, Tuguhun is the root of my Tubo, the land of Anxi is lost, but I don't lose it at all, when to take it is not difficult, moreover, the Tang thieves also do not want to take Anxi easily, pass on the order of the prime minister, all the soldiers of Anxi retreated to Khotan, Shule two cities, only allowed to hold on, not to fight with the enemy, after the beginning of spring, the prime minister from the army to exterminate the Tang thief departments, in addition, Chahu immediately rushed to the aid of Shanzhou line, be sure to block its troops in January; Wangrizan's department immediately rushed to Shanshan's aid, united with the Khotanese departments, entangled Li Jinxing, and Tuhun Ci's department directly took Babaochuan, and broke the Tang thieves there within ten days, blocking Li Xian'er's way back; Zanpo, you threw 20,000 elite soldiers from west to east to fight, Hertzzan, this prime minister ordered Er to lead 15,000 elite soldiers from east to west, be sure to force Li Xian'er to Qinghaizi, a certain self-led Chinese army to respond, in order to survive and capture Li Xian's thief! Gar Qinling didn't listen to his brother's advice at all, and as soon as he raised his hand, he issued a series of orders one after another.

"Yes, the last general will obey!"

Gar Qinling had a very high prestige in the Tibetan army, and since he had given the order, no one dared to disobey the generals on the spot, even if they were puzzled, and they could only make their own promises......

On October 12 of the first year of Xianheng, it was the seventh day to enter the hinterland of Tuyuhun, the war was still smooth, in the face of the most powerful mobility, no matter how the tribes of Tubo dodged, they could not escape the attack of **, only seven days down, the entire eastern part of Tuyuhun completely became the hunting ground of Li Xian's department, more than 20 tribes of all sizes were looted, the casualties were not counted, and the results of the battle were abundant, but Li Xian not only did not get excited because of this, but the worries in his heart became stronger day by day, just because of today, The armies of all walks of life in Tubo have not yet made the slightest movement, and one faction has completely abandoned the posture in the eastern part of Tuyuhun, and this is obviously not normal!

That's right, Li Xian has the consciousness of using himself as a bait, but he didn't intend to let the Tubo people swallow it, Li Xian only wants to get political capital, not to sacrifice himself for victory, if he really goes too far, the consequences are not what Li Xian can afford, therefore, on this day, Li Xian did not plunder as usual, but gathered his troops, stationed in a valley of a branch of Qilian Mountain, and then sent a lot of scouts in all directions to find out the movements of the Tubo army, But it was noon at this time, but no one came back to report the news, which made Li Xian's heart vigilant, and he was thinking about whether he should return to Shiyunwu City, but he saw a sentry outside the valley who was frantically beating horses and rushing forward......
