Xuan Shijing's gaze fell on the place where Cheng Chumo pointed his finger, and there were two big characters written on the map: Yangguan

Persuade the gentleman to drink a glass of wine, there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west, it is this Yangguan, Yangguan is located in the southwest corner of Shazhou, it is a checkpoint built according to the danger of the mountain, next to the three cities of Shazhou, Suzhou and Ganzhou are the important cities that guard the main road of the Western Regions, the three cities reject the Turks in the north, reach Tubo in the south, the whole Longyou Road in the west, and pass Liangzhou in the east, which is the Guannei, and the real gateway of the Tang Dynasty.

The county guard on the side looked at the map and nodded: "Yangguan is the first checkpoint in Ruguan, naturally there is a serious illness in Tun, and between Shicheng and Yangguan, there are plains and deserts, if you send cavalry to rescue, you can reach it in five days at the earliest." ”

"According to what Brother Chu Mo saw, which direction did the Tibetan army come from?" Xuan Shijing was still staring at the map, the intersection of the border of Tubo and the border of the Tang Dynasty was full of endless mountain ranges, since it was not from the direction of West Kunlun, it was very likely to enter the border of the Tang Dynasty from near Yangguan, because only the west of Yangguan, that is, near Shicheng, the mountains were more relaxed, and they could barely march.

As soon as Xuan Shijing said this, Cheng Chumo thought about it carefully, and suddenly said, "East! The Tibetans came from the east, that is, the road to Yangguan was also cut off. ”

Even if they sent troops out to ask for help, whether they could break through the enemy's encirclement was also two words, and the lives of three or four thousand people in the city could not be pinned on the road of asking for help.

"Wait, let me think about it." Xuan Shijing's mind flashed with inspiration, but he couldn't grasp the feeling at that moment, and tilted his head to think hard.

Cheng Chumo and the county guard next to him glanced at each other, and they were silent, looking at Xuan Shijing who was meditating.

What's missing? Xuan Shijing just felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong, so he picked up the map on the table and looked carefully at the vicinity of Shicheng and Yangguan.

"Brother Chu Mo, you said earlier that Wei Guogong went to the battlefield to confront the Tubo army, where is the place where the two armies fought?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Near Hanju, Jiannan Province, look here." Cheng Chumo pointed to the map: "The capital of Tibet, Luoqicheng, is here, Hanzhou is here, here and the border of Tibet, the terrain is gentle, conducive to the movement of the army, and it is the closest road to their capital, and their envoy and their relatives are from Jiannan Road all the way to Chang'an." ”

"Do you know how many troops Tubo has deployed near Hanzhou?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It is claimed to be 100,000, but in fact, it is more than 50,000 at most." Cheng Chumo said: "There are 20,000 troops here in Shicheng, what do these Tubo cubs want to do." ”

"I think, they want to hold the main road between the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty and Longyou, in order to blackmail the Tang Dynasty, all the eyes of the court are focused on the vicinity of Hanzhou, and they quietly sent troops to the Western Regions, hiding from the sky and the sea, and even the Yangguan side did not get the news, but on the side of Shicheng, the army of 20,000 people is not able to beat the fortress of Yangguan, but to conquer Shicheng, and then use Shicheng as a stronghold to map the Western Regions, this will work, but in this way, the people who lead the troops, how much they look down on the Tang Dynasty, It's too conceited. Xuan Shijing sneered, I'm afraid that he won't be able to eat it on the Shicheng side, and the Hanzhou side will be disabled, after all, it is the military god of the Tang Dynasty who is opposite them.

"In other words, they will definitely attack Stone City." The county guard said: "Then how is this good, now there are only so few people in Shicheng, how can they hold it." ”

"I will definitely hold it." Cheng Chumo seriously showed a resolute light: "As long as we try our best to hold the stone city, even if we don't need to rescue from other places, once the Weiguo Gong in Hanzhou breaks through Tibet, they will inevitably return to the army, and the dilemma on our side will naturally be solved." ”

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Then the most important thing at the moment is to defend the stone city, in addition, when I came, I saw that the people on the other side of Boxian Town had fled, and the people from Boxian Town went to hollow out, and just sent the people over there to Shicheng, anyway, an empty town is useless for the Tubo people." ”

"Report~~~" A soldier ran to the door of the study, bowed down and clenched his fists to report: "General Qiyu, the Tubo army has arrived three miles outside the city, there are more than 20,000 people, I don't know if the city will be attacked tonight, how should I deal with it, please show the general." ”

"Close the city gates, strengthen the patrol on the city wall, and the soldiers in the battalion will not be able to take off their armor tonight, and be ready for battle at any time!" Cheng Chumo ordered.

"Yes!" The soldier took the order and departed.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." The county guard sighed and said, "Now, the town of Immortals is finished." ”

"Not necessarily, how many people are guarding Boxian Town now?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"There are more than 200 people, but they are all cavalry, this team will not be stationed in a certain town, they will patrol various towns in the Western Regions to ensure the safety of the town." The county warden said.

"It's all cavalry, that's easy, give me a token, I'll send someone to pass the word, now we don't have to defend it, seize the opportunity to get him." Xuan Shijing smiled predictively.

Cheng Chumo was taken aback by Xuan Shijing's smile, the team of three thousand people was trapped in the stone city, what could the two hundred cavalry in Boxian Town do, thinking so in his heart, he naturally asked so.

"The two hundred cavalry of Boxian Town patrol the various towns in Longyou all the year round, and they are very familiar with the terrain, so they don't need to confront the Tubo people head-on, they only need to occasionally interfere with them." Xuan Shijing said.

In the past ten years, staying in Yuan Shoucheng's place, there are many books to read, especially things like military books, West Kunlun naturally will not have those books, the books that Xuan Shijing reads are all brought from Chang'an, and then transported back after reading, not only the books that go back and forth to Khotan Town, but also some things that Xuan Shijing collected that can be sold at a good price in Chang'an, plus the snow lotus collected from the Tianshan Mountains, after being concocted, they were all transported back to Chang'an, and the snow lotus was for the treatment of the eldest grandson queen, and those things, They were all instructed to be transported back and handed over to the money pile for disposal.

Thinking of some things written in the war book, Xuan Shijing smiled, the Tubo people may not have read as many war books as him

"Zhao Ying." Xuan Shijing called.

"The end will be." Zhao Ying responded.

"Go and get the man from the two people I'm travelling with." Xuan Shijing asked Zhao Ying to find Gao Jun, this kind of thing, it is most suitable to let Gao Jun come, Gao Jun follows him, although he doesn't read as many books as he reads, but there are a lot of ghost ideas.

"Yes." Zhao Ying responded, turned around and walked out of the study, and went to the camp to look for Gao Jun.

Heartbreaking and asking for recommendations
