Chapter 2036: Achilles' heel
After the news reached Chang'an, the people of Chang'an couldn't be calm, this is not a conversation after dinner, because this Tuyuhun is too close to Guanzhong, down is Guanzhong, and Liangzhou must not be able to operate, trade is all to stop, in addition, Tubo is to fight with the strength of the country, which is very different from the Ludongzan period, that Qinling is not even looking for an excuse, the implication is that it will not achieve the goal, and will not give up.
The point is that you don't know what his ultimate goal is, whether he wants to unify the plateau or settle in the Central Plains.
But there was one person who was very excited.
This person is the Yuan Vulture!
Zoo!
"It's a fight! It's time to fight! ”
Yuan Vulture was extremely excited, and said to Han Yi again: "This... It's our turn to play this time. ”
Han Yi rolled his eyes and said: "I said Lord Yuanbao, can you have a little ambition, I'm talking about a big platform, this kind of small-scale battle, can I ask you to come out?" Wang Fangyi, they can settle it! ”
Yuan Vultures swallowed and said, "This scale is still small, isn't it?" ”
Han Yi said: "In the Zhenguan period, of course, it is not small, but now, with my Tang national strength, it is definitely a small scale." Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, wait a while, the platform is still under construction, you can rest easy, take care of your body. ”
Rao is big-hearted vulture, at this moment, they all began to break out in a cold sweat, "What are you going to do?" ”
Han Yi laughed.
This demonic laughter finally made Yuan Vulture feel a little scared, and even regretted a little, this seems to be a little bigger.
......
Heyuan area.
Wang Xuance's 20,000 troops were still unable to resist the extremely shameless surprise attack of Tubo after all, and the Heyuan area was finally completely lost, but Qinling was extremely angry about this opening battle.
"Wang Xuance, Wang Xuance, if you fall into my hands one day, I will definitely break your body into ten thousand pieces."
Qin Ling angrily kicked Wang Xuance's dinner table away.
Although they won and won the entire Heyuan area, but it was far from being as easy as he imagined, Wang Xuance led the troops to resist stubbornly, using the terrain to block the most ferocious attack of Tubo, and won precious retreat time for the people of Heyuan, and finally Wang Xuance suffered heavy losses, but he let Tubo get a barren, the people in the Heyuan area took away all the horses, what cattle and sheep, fields, houses, anyway, could not be taken away, all burned, and the prosperous Heyuan area instantly became a depression.
Wang Xuance finally led half of the soldiers to retreat.
This made Qin Ling very angry.
Fortunately, Wang Fangyi was gone, otherwise, he might not be able to occupy this Heyuan area immediately.
In front of this pair of king bombs, Tubo really suffered a lot, and Qin Ling hated this pair of kings very much.
However, the situation was still very favorable to him, because the Tang army was in a hurry to respond to the battle and was unprepared.
"Report! Generals, Su Dingfang and Zhao Zhiman led the Liangzhou soldiers to the rescue of Tuyuhun. ”
"Come on! Come on! Come on. ”
Qin Ling sneered and said, "I want them to come and go, on this plateau, completely annihilate their main force, so that the Central Plains are at your fingertips." Immediately order the army to advance at full speed, and we must advance the battle line to Dafeichuan before the troops of Liangzhou can gain a firm foothold. ”
"Yes."
......
......
In the big tent of the Tang Army.
"Immediately ordered Pei Xingjian to lead the capital to protect the mansion and the troops of Khotan to attack Tibet from the west."
"Whoa!"
"Ahem, ahem... General Qibi, you immediately ordered people to go to Beiting and Xizhou to recruit men and horses, and attack Tubo from Shicheng Town, cough cough cough... Tubo concentrated all their forces in Tuyuhun, and the rest of the place must be empty, and in order to relieve the danger of Tuyuhun, they must first disperse their forces. ”
"Yes."
Qi Bi He Li clenched his fists and asked again: "Sikong, your body." ”
"Don't worry."
Li Ji waved his hand, but the cough became more and more fierce.
.....
Tobe!
"I reminded you several times before, the treasury is empty, there is no emergency food, you don't believe it, now it's good, where can the treasury get so much food to support the army on the expedition!"
Zhang Daxiang was about to go crazy, and the insecurity in his heart immediately exploded.
Han Yi said angrily: "But you didn't say at the time that Tubo would be such a shameless attack, and now it's useless to say this." And the situation is not as serious as you think, Shazhou, Liangzhou, and Shanzhou all have tuntian, where there is relatively sufficient food, and for the time being, it can also ensure the supply of our army in Tuyuhun. In addition, it's just that there is no grain in Taicang, but the warehouses in Luoyang and Bianzhou have enough grain, so you quickly send someone to transport the grain over there to Chang'an. ”
"I'll go now, I'll go now."
Zhang Daxiang stomped his foot hard as he spoke, and then ran out.
Han Yi smiled and muttered to himself: "Really, if there is food in the treasury, then what's the point of playing." ”
.....
Shaw House.
"How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, the Tubo people are really despicable and shameless, they even did not declare war, if Your Majesty allowed the old lady to lead the troops forward, the old lady will definitely beat them to the ground."
"The child wants to go with his mother."
Han Xuanyi shouted excitedly.
Xiao Wuyi squinted at his son and said, "You stinky boy is playing with mud." ”
"Don't yell here."
Yuan Peony looked at Han Yi again and said: "Husband, I just came out of Yuanjiabao, if the court is in need, our Yuan family is willing to help." ”
Han Yi nodded and said, "It's not needed for the time being, it's just Tubo, they can afford it, will we not be able to afford it, let's wait and see." ”
Xiao Wuyi said: "Husband, this time we must not make peace with the untrustworthy Tubo, we must fight them to the end, even if we go bankrupt." ”
The corners of Han Yi's mouth lifted and said, "Of course." ”
......
......
"Driving... Drive...! ”
Compared with the previous caravans, at this moment, walking on the Silk Road, riding fast horses.
Northwest Metropolitan Protectorate.
"How can this be reasonable, that Qinling is really a villain."
Pei Xingjian received Li Ji's letter, slapped the letter on the table angrily, and immediately ordered: "Immediately recruit men and horses, and follow me to attack Tibet." ”
"Whoa!"
Pei Xingjian is bold, but he is still very calm, and he is not a one-time fight with Tubo.
But no sooner had this order been given than an urgent report came from the west.
"Qiqi Daduhu, there is an urgent letter from Tocharo, and Dashi suddenly attacked them from the northwest, hoping that we can go to the rescue."
Pei Xingjian blinked, and said with a look of surprise: "Big food? ”
......
Tiele, Hui Ministry.
"Big brother, Tubo sent troops, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty went to war, it seems that that kid from Qinling didn't lie to us."
A big man with a bare left arm and a beard on his face entered the big tent and laughed happily.
I saw a bald-headed, bearded man sitting in the tent, this person was the chief of the Hui tribe, Bisu Poison, and the one who had just come in was his half-brother, Chagan. In addition, there is a person sitting next to him, and this person is Li Qianzhong, who is wanted by the Tang Dynasty.
Bisu said poisonously: "How many people and horses have been dispatched from Tibet? ”
"At least 200,000 troops."
Chagan said: "It can be said that it is the power of the country, big brother, we have to make a decision now, Tongluo, Fugu and other departments are waiting for your order, big brother!" ”
Li Qianzhong hurriedly said: "Khan, this is a godsend opportunity to restore the Turkic hegemony, if you give up, sooner or later you will be like me, wanted by the Tang Army, the cunning Central Plains people will not remember our help to them." ”
"Don't worry, it's come to this, how can I not understand what tricks they are playing." Bisu sneered and said, "It was the Tang Dynasty who played the conspiracy first, and we are not to blame for our injustice." By the way, I asked you to find out what was going on there, but is there any news? ”
Chagan smiled: "They are so scared now, I think as long as we are opposed, they will definitely follow suit." ”
Bisu smiled viciously: "In that case, what else to say, the time has come for us to be ashamed!" ”
......
Li Ji issued one order after another, but received urgent letters one after another.
If they don't go to the rescue, they may all fall to Da Shi, and Da Shi will be able to hit Dadu Hufu at once, causing Pei Xingjian to give up cooperating with Li Ji to attack Tubo, and only lead 3,000 soldiers to resist Dashi's invasion, because there is no time to recruit more troops for him.
At the same time, Tiele Jiu raised troops against the Tang Dynasty, executed all the Tang officials of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and claimed to be 100,000 people, and sent troops to Beiting.
Li Ji not only did not recruit the elite from Beiting, but also forced him to send 20,000 horses to Beiting to rescue, if Beiting was lost, their army would face the enemy on their backs, which was quite dangerous.
The main force of the Tang Army has just arrived at the battlefield, and this person is confused, why did so many enemies suddenly appear, where should we go to fight, the Tang Army is panicked!
All of a sudden, the whole of Asia was in flames!
The Tang Empire, which was still on the rise, seemed to collapse in an instant.
Liangyi Palace.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! ”
"Father."
This bad news continued to spread to Chang'an, and Li Zhi's weak body finally couldn't bear it, and during the meeting, he suddenly fainted on the couch of the Liangyi Palace. His body should have gone back to recuperate a long time ago, but he knew that at this time, if he fell ill, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he was holding on here, but he didn't expect that the situation would become more and more serious, and the empire he had built up single-handedly seemed to be in the collapse of an avalanche, and his mind and body could no longer bear the .......
The crown prince, ministers, and queens rushed forward one after another.
"Xuan Imperial Doctor, Hurry up Xuan Imperial Doctor!"
Zhang Wenguan shouted excitedly.
And Wu Meiniang stared at one person, this was Han Yi, who looked extremely nervous, thinking, it's him, this is his real plan.
Thinking of this, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat, even her clothes were wet, and her eyes were full of fear.
Cui Jijian on the side inadvertently caught Wu Meiniang's eyes, and his heart was shocked and angry, could it be that he made all this again, this... This is a little too despicable, to lose so many people's lives, just to let a woman sit on it, I... How can I be in the company of such people.
After a while, all the imperial doctors in the palace rushed to the Liangyi Palace.
Han Yi and the ministers retreated to wait, only the crown prince Li Hong and Wu Meiniang watched in the palace.
After more than an hour of rescue.
"Queen, Your Highness."
The chief physician came to Wu Meiniang and Li Hong.
"What? Father, how is he? ”
Li Hong stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve and asked.
The chief physician of the Imperial Physician explained with a sweaty face: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty for the time being... There is no danger for the time being, but... But.... ”
Li Hong said excitedly: "But what? Say it quickly! ”
The chief physician said, "But Weichen doesn't know anything about Your Majesty... When will you be able to wake up. ”
"What?"
Li Hong's tears suddenly flowed.
This imperial doctor always spoke in a good way, because what he said according to the truth might provoke Li Hong or Wu Meiniang and die as a result, and he had already shown that it was very dangerous for him to say so.
Wu Meiniang's body trembled slightly, and suddenly said: "You have to remember that Your Majesty is safe and sound, but you need to recuperate, and you can't come forward to deal with the government for the time being. ”
"Yes, yes, wechen understand, wechen understand." The chief physician nodded repeatedly, beads of sweat dripping directly onto the floor.
Wu Meiniang said again: "The ministers are still waiting outside. ”
The chief physician of the imperial physician understood and said, "Weichen will retire first." ”
After the chief physician retreated, Wu Meiniang said to Li Hong again: "Prince, now that the country is in crisis, if people know His Majesty's physical condition, the morale of the army and the people will be in turmoil, then my Datang may really collapse overnight, you are the prince, at this moment, you must shoulder this burden." ”
"Erchen...!"
Li Hong immediately looked frightened.
