Chapter Twenty-Six: The So-Called Timing
When the deputy general beside Li Jing heard this, he hugged his fists and said, "I don't know how the chief manager will arrange it." ”
Li Jing opened his eyes, stood up from the Taishi's chair, paced in the tent, and said: "Give an order to Yangguan and Suzhou to work together to encircle and suppress the 20,000 Tubo soldiers in Longxi, and not a single one is allowed to be missed." As he spoke, he took out a token and handed it to the lieutenant.
"Yes!" The lieutenant took the token and turned to walk out of the tent.
How many years, Tubo has always been a thorn in the heart of the Tang Dynasty, a thorn that cannot be pulled out, Tubo is located on the plateau, often come down to harass the border of the Tang Dynasty, in this regard, the ministers in the court are also quite helpless, for this matter, His Majesty Li Er has lost his temper several times, but there is no way, can't fight, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can not adapt to the environment on the plateau, but the Tubo people can easily walk down the plateau, loot and then retract back, which makes people very depressed, every time on the border of Hanzhou, they are ready to start a war with Tubo, But every time the Tubo people smell the wind, they will be at peace for a while, and all year round, the Tang soldiers have a fire in their hearts.
Since they dared to let people come down this time, Li Jing planned to clean them up ruthlessly, and he couldn't let the Tubo army be wiped out, but also cut off a piece of meat, so that the Tubo people would be ruthlessly painful.
At this time, in the tent of the Tubo battalion stationed at the foot of Jishi Mountain, Lu Dongzan looked at the letter in his hand with a frosty face, Geldan is a fool, 20,000 Tubo warriors were tripped by 3,000 Tang troops in Shicheng and couldn't move.
"Idiot!" Lu Dongzan slammed the letter in his hand on the case, disrupting Longxi's plan to distract the Tang army was delayed by Gerdan, all of them were in vain, the Tang army on the border of Hanzhou was repeatedly mobilized in the past two days, it seemed that he was going to make a move, Lu Dongzan was inevitably a little nervous in his heart, Li Jing was a person he had heard of, the victorious general of the Tang Dynasty, the powerful Turkic tribes of the year were wiped out overnight in his hands, against this kind of person, if there was no natural terrain advantage of Tubo, Lu Dongzan would not dare to start a war with Li Jing.
Fighting a war is to be consumed, over the years Tubo conquered Sun Bo and Yangtong, relying on war to feed the war, but with the Tang army, the Tang army behind the Tang army is the entire rich Guanzhong, and the land behind them, most of them are endless mountains, and the Tang army war, won a while, once the Tang army can adapt to the environment of Tubo, then waiting for Tubo, will be a catastrophe, and Lu Dongzan, what you want is the victory at this time, as long as you win, not only can you marry the princess smoothly, and, Being able to ask for more things from the rich Tang Dynasty is like the once powerful Turks.
Lu Dongzan remembered the past glory of the Turks at this time, but he forgot what happened to the Turks after they plundered the Tang Dynasty.
"A bunch of idiots!" Thinking of these, Lu Dongzan couldn't help but scold the wine bag and rice bag nobles in Tubo who only knew how to drink and play with women, Geldan was one of the subordinate generals of these nobles, and they swore in front of Zampu that how to disrupt the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and how many grain treasures could be looted. Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan also had a prejudice against the young Zanpu in Tibet.
Suppress the anger in your heart, now that it is like this, the battle will still be fought, as long as Li Jing wins, Tubo will have confidence, and if you talk to Datang again, your waist will be straightened.
"The Great Anger Stops." The person next to him said: "For today's plan, we can only transfer Geldan back, otherwise, if we are dragged in Shicheng like this, we will be wiped out by the army of the Tang Dynasty." ”
Lu Dongzan didn't want to take care of Geldan, let him fend for himself or destroy the spirit of the nobles who didn't make it in Tubo, but it was also 20,000 Tubo warriors, if it was folded in Longxi like this, it would inevitably cause a lot of damage to the people of Tubo, so he could only nod and agree with what this person said: "Well, the order is to let Geldan return to Tubo quickly, there must be no mistake!" ”
"Yes." The man nodded faintly and walked out.
There was only one person left in the tent, Lu Dongzan touched the two mustaches on the side of his mouth, squinted his eyes and said to himself: "Against Li Jing, it takes a moment." ”
It's just that Li Jing has been on the battlefield for many years, how could he give Lu Dongzan such a so-called opportunity?
The night has passed, this is the most restful night that Xuan Shijing slept after leaving Khotan Town, the morning sun spilled into the room through the window, illuminating the whole room, it is rare that Long'er did not come to call Xuan Shijing to get up today.
Long'er also felt that her Hou Ye had worked too hard in the past two days, since she was willing to sleep, she should sleep enough, not to mention, the current weather, let the oath compete in the morning and get up early, it is also a crime.
In the middle of the day, Xuan Shijing woke up slowly, lifted the quilt, stretched his waist, and looked at the table, sure enough, the clothes to be worn today were ready, got up and got off the ground, stepped on his boots and walked to the table, and began to wear his coat, different from the soft armor in the past, today Long'er prepared a slightly thicker blue silk moire robe for Xuan Shijing, and there was a blue robe outside.
After changing his clothes, he looked at his hair in the bronze mirror, it used to be Long'er to help him tie his hair, but now that Long'er is not there, how can I get this hair.
Fallen, Xuan Shijing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, picked up a wooden comb from the table, smoothed his hair, tied a ponytail at random, and a big man combed his hair in the mirror, it was really uncomfortable, but it was not like the messy hair when he just got up, Xuan Shijing is only fifteen years old this year, and he is still a minor, and it is quite normal to tie his hair like this.
After cleaning up, Xuan Shijing went out of the room, saw Long'er and Gao Jun drinking tea downstairs, and also walked down the stairs and sat next to the two.
Seeing Xuan Shijing's hair, Long'er burst out laughing.
"Little Hou Ye, this is your own hair." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing with a smile.
"Yes, you're not here, I'll have to do it myself." Xuan Shijing spread his hands, and he didn't entangle with Long'er on this issue, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
Calling the second brother, Xuan Shijing asked for some steamed buns, pickles and gruel or something, and simply ate breakfast.
In the past ten years, Xuan Shijing's breakfast is as light as now, Yuan Shoucheng said, eating breakfast is lighter, which is conducive to health, eating meat buns and meat pies early in the morning is too greasy, even if Yuan Shoucheng doesn't say it, this Xuan Shijing also knows, so he ate vegetarian food for breakfast in Houfu before.
"Little Marquis, I walked around outside this morning, almost all the merchants stopped selling grain to the foreigners in the city, it seems that General Ding gave the order yesterday." Gao Jun said: "It's just this, really" Gao Jun wanted to speak and stopped, he was worried that if it was reasonable to ban food on Tubo, if it was like this for all the foreigners in Longxi, I am afraid it would cause unnecessary trouble.
"Nothing bad." Xuan Shijing swallowed the porridge in his mouth and said: "In this era of the Tang Dynasty, the most appropriate sentence to describe foreign races is that they are not of my race, and their hearts must be different, whether it is the current Tubo, or the previous Turks, or the nine surnames of Zhaowu, Gaochang, Qiuzi, the six countries of Nanzhao, and the Goguryeo and Wa kingdoms in the east, which one is not secretly coveting the Tang Dynasty, so there is no need to be so merciful to the foreigners, think about your hundred or dozens of brothers who died in the hands of the Tubo people." ”
People have to gradually learn to be ruthless, just like the current Xuan Shijing, the matter of Shicheng has gradually come to an end, but the account book of Chang'an in the Guannei has just been opened.
