Chapter 1693 A Thousand Miles of Fire

The fight in the east is in full swing, and some people in the west can't stand it.

As a generation of heroes, how could Lu Dongzan be willing to fall at such a historic moment, sit at home, and watch the fire from the other side, of course he has to make a bright appearance, so that he can go down in history.

You must know that this Lu Dong Zanke is a very powerful politician and military strategist, of course he knows that if the Tang Dynasty is allowed to successfully win Goguryeo, then around the Tang Dynasty, he will be left with a Tubo, which is very unfavorable to Tubo, and he will never allow the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo so easily.

This reason alone was enough to make him determined to send troops to disrupt the situation.

Therefore, when he learned that the Tang Dynasty had sent troops to Goguryeo, Lu Dongzan had already quietly gathered troops and was preparing to send troops to the northwest and Tuyuhun at the same time.

However, Tubo and Datang are still in a marriage relationship on the surface at this time, if they start a war directly, they will be nameless, Datang will fight Goguryeo, do your Tubo, you and Nayuan Gai Suwen have not even met, and they are still related to Datang.

But this thing, it's okay to cover it up a little, because once the war starts, both sides understand what's going on, and you're here to stir things up.

This Lu Dongzan's face is not ordinarily thick, he doesn't care about these things, I want to fight in Tibet, if I don't send troops today, it will be the rhythm of waiting for death.

Lu Dongzan repeated the old trick again, letting the two chiefs of Chuyue and Gongyue command 50,000 troops to attack Khotanfu, and let the chiefs of Bailan command 50,000 troops to attack Tuyuhun.

This place of the moon and the bow moon were beaten by Su Dingfang and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty to leave their hometowns and hide under the Kunlun Mountain, how can there be so many elites, in fact, they are all Tubo soldiers mixed in, not only that, the chiefs of Chuyue and Gongyue are actually only the nominal commanders, and the real commanders are the eldest son of Lu Dongzan, Zanxiruo.

Tuyuhun is here, because Lu Dongzan's base camp is on this side, after the last battle of Tuyuhun, he did not go back to the capital, he established a small court here, the head of Tubo is in a place where birds don't, this side is close to the Tang Dynasty, very prosperous, and this is also a strategic place, Tubo matters are handled by him with full authority, so this side is actually he personally in command, but he did not lead the army.

Attacking on two fronts, with a total of 100,000 troops, it can be seen that Lu Dongzan is not just going to drag the Tang army back this time.

Because the Tang Dynasty sent all the generals who could fight well to the east, although there were garrisons everywhere, but there was no commander, this headless dragon, what to fear. How could Lu Dongzan let go of this opportunity, he wanted to play bigger, not simply to save Goguryeo, the result he hoped for was that the Tang army did not capture Goguryeo, but lost the northwest and Tuyuhun, and the worst thing is that the Tang army took Goguryeo, he occupied the northwest and Tuyuhun, in that case, the two sides are also equal on the map, no one is afraid of anyone, and what he pursues is still a balance.

Although one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, two tigers are better than one tiger and one rabbit!

Therefore, Lu Dongzan put all the chess pieces out, and on the eve of his army, Gongyue City, Glolu and other tribes in the northwest region have rebelled one after another.

Because in Han Yi's Northwest Plan, it is to subvert the rule of the old Turks and support the local merchants, these are two different kinds of rule, there must still be people in these areas who miss the glory of the former Turkic Dynasty, they do not want to be ruled by the Tang Dynasty, and if you do this, they will gradually be eliminated, he is no longer a nobleman, no longer admired, and this is slowly becoming a reality, but the whole region is relatively stable because of this plan, and the people are very satisfied, and they are not willing to make a big move, and these people dare not speak out. And Lu Dongzan is good at sowing discord, and Tubo has always had forces infiltrating in the entire northwest, so Lu Dongzan fanned these people.

Take their revolt as a signal, and then send troops.

He didn't even declare war, he directly sent troops to attack, anyway, this is nominally a civil war, and he can't declare war, Bailan used to belong to Tuyuhun, and Chuyue and Gongyue were also nobles of the Western Turks.

This time it was a thousand miles of fire, and the flames of war burned from the easternmost part of Asia to the westernmost part.

It can be seen that it is not easy for Datang to manage such a large territory, and it will affect the whole body.

The Tubo army is coming violently, and very fast, Lu Dongzan hopes to hit the Tang Dynasty by surprise, and quickly wipe out the Tang army around the Anxi Dadu Protectorate, the reinforcements are thousands of miles away, and when the reinforcements come back, the daylily is cold. But he never expected that both sides lost the first battle, and they were all defeated.

And the process of defeat was exactly the same, it was very smooth at the beginning, but when the soldiers arrived at the city, a Tang army suddenly appeared from behind, copied their back road, and cooperated with the Tang army in front of them to attack from both sides.

It turned out that Li Zhi, under the advice of Cui Jijian, ordered Pei Xingjian, a member of the Beiting army, to lead 10,000 troops to quietly come to Khotan to cooperate with Su Haizheng to defend, and ordered Liangzhou Assassin Zhao Zhiman to lead 10,000 elites in Liangzhou to quietly enter Tuyuhun to help Wang Fangyi and Wang Xuance defend.

Lu Dongzan saw that Li Zhi sent all the commanders to Goguryeo, of course he thought that the Tang Dynasty did not defend himself, they thought that they were taken by surprise, and how did they know that the Tang army had arranged an ambush to wait for him.

Wang Fangyi, Wang Xuance, the pair of Wang Bang, plus Zhao Zhiman's pair of two, the power can be imagined. What's even more terrifying is that these three people are both civil and military, both offensive and defensive, without any weaknesses, and they are all in their thirties and forties, at the peak of a man, the only deficiency is the lack of fame, they are all Mesozoic, there is no fame, which also confuses Lu Dongzan, why are these little-known guys, all of them are ruthless.

After the heavy damage to the Bailan Department, Wang Zhan and Zhao Zhiman did not hesitate, and immediately launched a large-scale counterattack, pursuing the enemy army, and the Tubo army was defeated, which was completely different from the plan, without any mental preparation, they did not know how many people there were in the Tang army, only knew that they fled back to the country first, and they were defeated all the way.

Wang Fangyi, Wang Xuance, and Zhao Zhiman are full of tacit understanding, because Wang Fangyi and Wang Xuance have been stationed in Tuyuhun, and Wang Fangyi and Zhao Zhiman belong to the same Guanlong group, and they are peers, and they have a very good relationship.

The chieftain of the Bailan Department almost died without vomiting blood, it was only a few days of work, and the land left by the ancestors was lost, because they Bailan was pouring out of the nest, and they didn't expect it to be like this, and the Bailan Department was not ready to defend, Wang Fangyi and their attack was too fast, and they really chased them to fight, not giving them any respite.

But when they hit here, Wang Fangyi and they stopped, because further forward is Tubo, it's not that they can't fight, but they also know that if they fight further, this supply can't keep up, and now they can already deter Lu Dongzan.

However, the situation in the Northwest is a little different here.

Khotan.

"General Su, at this time, the Tubo army still does not know the reality of our army, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, destroy as many of their troops as possible, so that they are unable to attack again, and buy enough time for the main force of our army in Goguryeo. If we do not pursue them at this time, and when they have recovered their strength, our forces will not be enough to resist their attack. ”

Pei Xingjian was so anxious in the big tent that he stomped his feet!

Wang Fangyi immediately counterattacked after they ambushed the Tubo army, but they didn't do it this way, and after Su Haizheng won the first battle, he ordered the soldiers not to pursue.

Su Haizheng glanced at Pei Xingjian with disdain, and said: "Our army's strength is not as good as the enemy's army, if you attack, can you guarantee victory?" If you don't win, do you know what the consequences will be? I expect that after the enemy army is repulsed by our army, we will not dare to attack for the time being, and we should take the opportunity to destroy those rebels, so that we can concentrate on resisting the Tibetans in a unified manner, and even if the Tibetans invade again, we will not be afraid. ”

This is what is outside, and what is going on inside must be settled first.

Su Haizheng was originally stationed in Khotan, and Pei Xingjian was from Beiting Mansion, which was lost in Khotan, the court was blamed on Su Haizheng, Pei Xingjian was just a helper, Su Haizheng of course felt that it was better to be conservative, and it was a great achievement to keep Khotan.

Pei Xingjian said excitedly: "The rebellion in Gongyue City and other places is unpopular, there is no need to worry, they are mainly to cooperate with the Tubo army, causing panic in our army, so as long as we repel the Tubo, those people will not attack themselves." ”

Su Haizheng glanced at Pei Xingjian unhappily, and said lightly: "I have made up my mind, you don't say much, you quickly lead the troops to Gongyue City to quell the rebellion." ”

Pei Xingjian was surprised: "If I leave, what if the Tubo army comes back?" ”

Su Haizheng was even more unhappy when he heard it, Pei Xingjian is only in his thirties now, when he was fighting, Pei Xingjian was probably still reading the Analects, thinking, it may not be without you, this Khotan can't be defended, and you look down on people too much, and said coldly: "Don't Pei join the army think that without your help, the old man can't hold this Khotan?" ”

Although Li Zhi did not trouble them at the suggestion of Han Yi, Xu Jingzong and the others still demoted them, and Pei Xingjian was directly demoted to join the army. Su Haizheng is reminding him, you just joined the army a little, if it weren't for the commanders who went to Goguryeo, where would it be your turn to come here to help, you would dare to argue with me.

Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, he said the wrong thing, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "The juniors don't dare." ”

Su Haizheng's face softened a little, and said: "You quickly lead the troops to quell the rebellion, and put down the rebellion as soon as possible, and the northwest will have no worries." ”

"The last will obey."

Pei Xingjian hugged his fists and saluted, sighing bitterly in his heart, but what could he do, he himself could not be protected, the eldest grandson Wuji was dead, and he had scolded Wu Meiniang at the beginning, in case Su Haizheng went to sue him, he would definitely die, because Xu Jingzong was waiting there, and he could only obey Su Haizheng's order and lead his troops to Gongyue City to quell the rebellion.

......

Lu Dongzan hasn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, these two fists attacked, and the result was that they all hit the stone slab, either broken bones, or the skin and flesh were open, blood flowed sideways, and bad news flew like snowflakes, this is obviously a trap! He was suspicious by nature, and when he saw that the Tang army had been prepared, he quickly ordered the army to stop the attack and turn the attack into defense.

"Father! Why are you forbidden to fight? ”

Lu Dongzan's fourth son Da Gu Ri came to the big tent, he was very excited, he was young and vigorous, and he was preparing to counterattack, but Lu Dongzan suddenly ordered not to fight, which made him very unhappy.

Lu Dong praised: "I don't want to be my father, I still want to fight the Tang Army by surprise for my father, how do I know that the Tang Army has already prepared, since they have been prepared, I am afraid that it will be very difficult for our army to achieve its goal, since the Tang Army has not crossed the line, don't completely tear your face with the Tang Dynasty." ”

Da Gu Ri said excitedly: "Father, how can this arrow be taken back, doesn't the Tang Dynasty know that this is planned by us behind the scenes, if the main force of the Tang Army destroys Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty will definitely not let us go, in this case, it is better to strike first and occupy Tuyuhun first, even if they want to fight back, it will be very difficult." ”

Lu Dongzan heard the hesitation on his face, and said loudly: "Now we don't even know the reality of the Tang army, if we attack rashly, in case we are ambushed by the Tang army, it will be a big deal, and let's find out clearly before making a decision." ”
