So the army was stationed in Dafeiling for several more days, but the weather still did not improve.

If this year's wind and snow continue like this, this battle will not be fought, and the march will be even more difficult after the onset of winter.

Xue Ne originally came to the northwest to make contributions and improve his prestige.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui's 100,000 army was wiped out, and it was nearby.

Xue Ne also hoped in his heart that he could be ashamed.

Although the initial battle was won, little progress was made in the overall situation, and a decisive victory was not achieved.

If this ended the Helong War, it was obvious that he would feel a little lost.

However, at this moment, he is more rational, and he does not dare to take the enemy too lightly, compared to a big defeat, a draw is also a good result.

He said when he was with the generals.

"If the weather is getting worse and worse if the sky does not help, our army should not fight in vain, and when the Tubo retreats, we will slowly recover the Yellow River valley and the Jishi Mountain Range, rebuild the stronghold and fortress, and send the general Tuntian to hold on, thinking that it is a long-term plan."

The generals bowed and thought it was a safe way.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as the sky, and within a few days, the wind and snow stopped one after another, and the sun reappeared overhead.

Xue Ne stood on the dry and cold hill, looking up at the sky, only to see that the sky was blue and blue, only a few white clouds.

The sky here is really beautiful, with blue skies against snow-capped mountains and snow on the ground, and the environment is spotlessly clean.

The wind also stopped, and the breezy calm made people mistake it for early spring weather, otherwise how could it be so beautiful?

The civil and military generals also rode their horses up this hill and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the plateau together.

Hei Tooth Changzhi said: "This kind of weather will not easily cause sudden vicious changes, and the sunny weather will continue, which is a good time to send troops." ”

Hearing this, Xue Ne took his gaze down from the canopy of heaven and looked out at the endless camps and tents beneath the hills.

One or two hundred thousand people are under their feet.

He had to be cautious, so he didn't say anything right away.

Li Xingzhou hugged his fists.

"Generalissimo, I, Zuo Yiwei, am willing to lead the army to attack the Tubo camp for the forward and catch him off guard!"

Xue Chuzhen said disapprerovingly.

"It's been windy and snowy for so many days, and suddenly it's clear, and Tubo is still unprepared? They have an army of 500,000 people, and if we send a few men and horses over, it will not be enough for people to plug their teeth, and we must have a large army to pass before they can be used. ”

Black Tooth Changzhi frowned.

"A month ago, we arrested so many aristocratic ministers of the party, and some of their subordinates were inevitably dissatisfied...... Generalissimo think twice! ”

Li Xingzhou immediately persuaded.

"The fighter plane has appeared, we can't miss the opportunity if we don't stop patrolling, if the Tubo people don't come, we should take the initiative to attack!"

Xue Ne pondered for a long time, and said in his heart that the Tubo army did not attack or retreat, and it was really depressing to spend it there.

This time, the Tang army finally gathered so many men and horses, and it was always uncomfortable not to fight once.

War is inherently risky, and victory or defeat is always unpredictable.

All the generals talked about how to fight.

Hei Fang Changzhi is the deputy coach, and he thinks more about the change in the situation, so he said.

"In the event of defeat in this battle, the situation in Longyou will be immediately reversed, and all the party items and other places will inevitably fall into the hands of Tubo, and the Helong Plain will also be in danger and will be harassed by the Tubo soldiers for a long time. The Northwest Frontier will no longer be at peace for at least a few years......"

Li Xingzhou frowned and said: "Yan Guogong, you also think too much, you haven't fought yet, what if you want to lose, then what are we going to fight?" ”

The way of black teeth.

"You are right, in the current situation, even if we don't fight, we can maintain the advantage of the Helong front, and the Tubo soldiers dare not come to the decisive battle, so we will consume until he retreats."

Xue Chuzhen rarely interjected in this kind of scene of discussing the overall situation, and couldn't help but say at this time.

"Yan Guogong said that he didn't fight, so why did our 200,000 army come here and drink the wind and snow for nearly half a month?"

"Because the Tubo people have hundreds of thousands of troops threatening Longyou on the opposite side, do they have to fight if they have soldiers in their hands?"

Everyone quarreled for a while, and everyone realized that Xue Ne didn't say anything, and only after enough of the quarrel did they turn their heads to look at him and said.

"The Generalissimo has an idea."

Xue Ne frowned.

"If the weather is good and you can fight, why don't you fight? I want to see if this decisive battle can be fought against the plateau cavalry......"

"The whole army marched out of camp, and slowly approached south together, forcing the decisive battle of Tibet! If you can't fight, you won't be able to borrow your combat strength, and Lao Tzu will admit it! ”

The crowd was silent for a moment, neither opposing nor approving.

It's not a good strategy to fight hard.

Besides, Xue Ne is the coach, and everyone is naturally speechless.

He looked at the sky again and said.

"There is no way left and right, so it was decided, and the order was to march with enough food and grass and ordnance to pull out the camp."

The Tang Dynasty party and coalition troops were all dispatched, and they also carried all kinds of heavy ordnance, mules and horses, heavy vehicles, grain and grass, cattle and sheep, etc., and the march was very slow, walking dozens of miles a day at most, and the number of people marched swaggeringly......

In this way, even the Tubo people can learn their whereabouts in advance, even if they are stupid.

What's more, the weather is rarely very clear, and the Tubo army has long been prepared.

In just one day, the Tubo king's tent learned the news that the Tang army was pouring into the nest.

Rinchengang Da Zampu convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures, but did not come up with any solutions.

The Tang people are fighting hard, and they are all forced up, what other strategies do they have?

There are only two ways: either a decisive battle is set up; Either withdraw the troops ahead of schedule, give up the occupied areas and return to the hinterland, and then make another plan.

If the Tibetans take the move this time.

Then the biggest decisive battle between the two countries in decades is about to begin, and the consequences will naturally be serious.

However, due to the slow arrival of the Tang soldiers, the Tubo king's tent has not yet made a decision, and the opposition to the decisive battle is mainly the people who have fallen with pearls and jades.

The leader of the Great Shoji Belt Zhudan thinks.

"There is no need for us to fight like this with the Tang people, the timing is not too good now, the Tang army has concentrated the elite of the entire northwest border pass, we can avoid its edge and wait for its weak favorable opportunity before attacking!"

Yu Zebu saw that Renqin Gang's great praise was ashamed, so he followed his thoughts and said.

"Because they have gathered elites, once they are defeated, the results and benefits will be incalculable! No one can afford to lose this battle, it depends on who can win, Li Xingzhou's approach is very refreshing. ”

Just as Li Xingzhou's side had different disputes when making a decision, it was difficult for the Tubo people to make up their minds whether to fight or retreat.

After all, this is a battle of national fortunes.

And Rinchen Gang Da Zampu was frowning and contemplative, silent, and did not care about the disputes of the ministers.

It was not completely dark, and the Tang army had already set up camp to rest.

The temperature drops quickly after the sun goes down, and if you put a bowl of water outside your tent, you will definitely get up the next morning with a thick layer of ice.

Li Xingzhou stood outside the tent and looked left and right, and found that there were no trees in this place, and he was really surprised that there was not even a single tree in the wilderness.

It is no wonder that it is found that cow dung is often burned after the march out of the fortress, and it is indeed a lack of firewood.

The surrounding fires shine from the tents, making the land seem to be a primitive city, with many people living in large groups without tall buildings, and the densely populated scene is indeed rare to see in the northwest wilderness.

The starry lights shine brighter than the stars in the sky, and it is spectacular.

Looking back, there is no end in sight at all, and 200,000 horses gathered together to stand on the ground have only one feeling that there is many.

But you can't have an intuitive outline, and you can't see the whole picture until you stand on a high vantage point and look down.

The dry and cold wind blew on his face, Li Xingzhou felt a burst of pain, and after staying here for half a month, his lips were cracked, and he entered the big fire.

The sergeant brought his favorite wine, and sat around the cow dung heap with three or two soldiers to drink wine and keep warm.

In this weather, soldiers prefer to drink spirits made from grain.

However, Li Xingzhou only loves softer wines, and the glass glass in the night is crystal clear in the fire of cow dung, and it also has a unique flavor.

At this moment, suddenly Park Jingtai called outside the tent, then opened the thick cotton curtain and walked in, clasped his fists and said:

"Generalissimo, the scouts have just come to report, and at noon today, they found that Tubo was fainting from the land of the Yellow River, and it seems that they are about to retreat!"

Park Kyung-tae glanced at the fire in the middle and walked over and squatted down.

When the people in the big tent heard this, they began to talk about it.

Xue Ne was stunned.

"We were about to fight, and they wanted to run? This Rinchen Gang is really fucking guts! ”

The tightly wrapped black tooth is often the right color road.

"It's a wise move for Tubo to retreat, after all, they have taken a lot of risks than us, even if our Datang defeats these 200,000 troops, it won't be to the point of losing the country, right?"

Li Xingzhou said.

"Our trip is considered to be a blank run, and if we walk over at this marching speed, the Tubo soldiers will have already run away."

Xue Ne frowned.

"Yan Guogong is right, although our chances of victory are not greater than those of Tibet, but the risk is smaller. It's a big deal for us to bet on the land of Helong, and it's hard to say whether the Tubo people will collapse if they are defeated! In that case, what are we afraid of? ”

Hei Zhi Changzhi was stunned when he heard it: "......What does the general mean?"

"Now that the weather is fine, the light soldiers can catch up with the Tubo soldiers!"

Xue Ne said lightly.

The generals looked at each other and turned their heads to look at Li Xingzhou. He said.

"The tactics are very simple, with the main force of the Tang Army lightly armed, rushing to the Tubo camp to fight a decisive battle, leaving the party to take care of the baggage, find favorable terrain and build a fortress to hold on."

Hei Yan Changzhi suggested: "There is no problem with our army running, I am afraid that the right (front army) is too risky to be heavy and light, and the battle of Dafeichuan is in front, the general thinks twice!" ”

Liu Tao also agrees with Hei Tooth Changzhi's words.

"The party has little fighting spirit, but it is forced to follow us out of desperation, not to mention that we have a new grudge with many party members, if they are facing a defection in the rear, our army has no way forward and is far away from the border, what will happen to the party at that time?"

"It's not so easy to defect in battle, we don't have to doubt the heart of the Tuoba clan to the Tang Dynasty, and recently in the name of punishing the betrayers, he helped Tuoba Xuan get rid of most of the disloyalties, and all the military power is in the hands of the Tuoba clan. As long as Tuoba Xuan did not rebel against the Tang Dynasty and raised his heart of prevention, it was almost impossible to defect in battle. ”

Xue Ne said while thinking.

But Blacktooth is still a little worried.

"If the Tubo army divides its troops to attack our rear army, the party will not be effective in fighting and will lose its baggage, which will also be a critical situation."

Liu Tao said.

"The Tibetan army has been stationed in Baihai City for a long time, and I think their plan is to lure the enemy deeper, and to maneuver around where we can't find a village in front of us and a store behind us. It should not be necessary for our army to advance now, knowing that it is hostile. ”

Li Xingzhou saw that most of the civil and military forces in the big tent were against the light cavalry attack, and he also fell silent and did not speak for the time being.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to say after admonishing and admonishing, and slowly fell silent again, and the atmosphere became dull. At this time, Liu Tao said.

"Let's just put forward the risks everywhere to the generalissimo, and in the end you have an idea, there is no perfect way on the battlefield, and the generalissimo wants to attack, let's follow."

Xue Chuzhen also breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

"A month ago, our 12,000 cavalry of Zuo Yiwei could burn the king's tent, if the generalissimo insisted on going, now the 100,000 army is not impossible!"

Only the Black Tooth Constant still insisted on not fighting.

"I will oppose the battle of the king's tent, although I win, I will win narrowly! Now that we are far from the border, in the event of a defeat, it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive. ”

"I'll go out and breathe," Xue Ne said lightly, and then stood up.

The sergeant brought a thick fur coat, wrapped it around his body, tucked the collar around his neck and wrapped it tightly, and walked out of the tent.

It's cold and dry outside, and the clear night sky is very windy, except for the low temperature, the weather is good, and the sun will be better during the day. army

The soldier led the horse over, and Xue Ne turned over on the horse, and let the horse lead the horse, and he thought about it as he went.

Everyone advised him not to attack lightly, and he felt that it made sense, but intuitively he thought that this was an opportunity, although it was a bit risky......

If you can't take the risk, then why come to the battlefield of Longyou?

However, it is not necessarily completely safe in Luoyang, life is always adventurous.

He hesitated, maybe the more things he had, the easier it was to wear out his sharpness?

As soon as I walked for a while, I heard the sound of horses' hooves behind me, and a voice said.

"Generalissimo, please stay."

Xue Ne looked back and saw that it was Li Xingzhou.

Li Xingzhou hugged his fists.

"I just said something in the big tent, but I didn't think it through, so it was inconvenient to say it in public."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Xue Ne said curiously.

Li Xingzhou said.

"The generalissimo wants to rush to pursue the Tibetan army, but he is worried about the instability of the rear and the loss of supplies, so that he will be in a dilemma; If you give up running, you will be unwilling......"

Xue Ne smiled when he heard this: "Sure enough, Master Li understands me." ”

"In that case, why don't the generalissimos compromise?"

Li Xingzhou said.

"Leaving the Tang Army and the party members to camp separately, thinking that the horns should respond to each other, and each occupy a dangerous terrain to ensure the safety of the rear wing. The generalissimo led a light army to attack again, and the Tubo people did not expect us to attack like this, and suddenly heard that the Tang soldiers were coming, and they must be unprepared, and they still have a chance of winning; Even if the war was unfavorable, the generalissimo led the army to retreat to the big camp to fight and defend, and there was no worries. ”

Xue Ne pondered for a moment and said with great joy.

"That's a wonderful way! At least give it a try, so as not to miss the opportunity to achieve great things in the future, after all, it is not easy to find when our army can gather elites from all over the world and happen to encounter the Tuboans, and the opportunity for me to happen to be in Longyou is even more difficult......"

"In Master Li's opinion, how many troops are best to attack and how many troops are left behind?"

Li Xingzhou said.

"70,000 attacked, 30,000 stayed behind, and the rear army had 100,000 party iron cavalry, which was enough to keep the heavy grain and grass safe. I think the same as the generalissimo, the Tuoba clan has gradually taken control of the party's power, and as long as he does not rebel, it is extremely difficult for him to defect. What's more, when the Tibetan army learned that our troops were attacking the camp, they had to take a long detour on light horses and take a long distance if they wanted to take heavy measures, and it was not easy to capture the heavily defended camp. ”

"Good!"

The hesitation in Xue Ne's heart was thrown away all at once, and he said immediately.

"I will choose a place for Yan Guogong with 40,000 horses to defend, you and I will lead the cavalry to attack south, and kill him by surprise!"
