Guo Ziyi and the others clasped their fists and saluted, and said angrily, "The governor of the capital is wise, and the last general is so admirable!" ”

For Zhang Xuan's calm and seamless planning and strategy and tactics like a stroke of genius, Guo Ziyi and others were indeed very amazed.

Guo Ziyi sighed secretly in her heart, staring at Zhang Xuan, the awe on her face became heavier and heavier.

Su Hudong's bright face was floating with complex brilliance, slightly reddened. She couldn't figure it out, Zhang Xuan, a nerd and sour talent in her eyes, and had no actual combat experience in leading the army, where did she get such a wonderful plan in her head, and there was no last resort to march all the way, if there was divine help.

In terms of specific army command, Zhang Chai did not interfere and delegated power to Guo Ziyi. But in the general direction, it is all in his hands. His grasp of the fighter plane and his judgment of the situation can be described as brilliant and amazing.

Is this genius? Su Hudong said secretly in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xuan again.

Guo Ziyi hesitated for a while, and said softly, "Didn't the Metropolitan Governor Mo want to take Luo Some City in the end?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled silently.

Lei Wanchun slapped the table case excitedly, and said loudly, "Metropolitan Governor, if our army can conquer the Tubo royal court, it is equivalent to destroying the whole country of Tubo......" As soon as he thought that our army was about to enter his grandmother's city to drink wine and eat meat, a certain family couldn't help but want to laugh! ”

"Dadu Governor, if our army captures some cities, please also ask Dadu Governor for permission, and let the last general grab a few Tubo little girl skins and go home as a concubine of warm chuáng!"

Lei Wanchun laughed roughly, Nanwuyun and the other generals knew that Lei Wanchun was rude, so they didn't think it was strange, and laughed casually.

Guo Ziyi also smiled, but a strange light flashed on her face.

If it is according to Zhang Xuan's strategy, the Tang army is flexible and flexible, and it is not impossible to surprise attack and occupy some cities. Of course, it can only be a temporary occupation, and it is impossible to hold it for a long time.

Zhang Xuan laughed, pointed at Lei Wanchun and scolded with a smile, "You are so shameless!" Our army is a righteous army, a mighty army, and a benevolent and righteous army, and the raid on Tubo is intended to protect the stability of our Tang border, how can we be the king of the mountain here in the Tubo people? If you want a concubine, Ben Shuai will return to Lingzhou and give you two! ”

"In Tibet, no one is allowed to mess around. Passing on the military order of the handsome, all those who are in the territory of Tubo will be killed! ”

With this conversation, Zhang Xuan once again reaffirmed a military discipline. His voice was serious, and all the generals were solemn in agreement. Lei Wanchun nodded his head a little embarrassed, and smirked, "Metropolitan Governor, a certain family is just joking, I don't dare to offend the military discipline of the Metropolitan Governor!" ”

Along the way, Zhang Xuan set up three military rules, one is not allowed to Jiāny ín Tubo Fù women, the second is not allowed to kill the Tubo people, and the third is not allowed to plunder the Tubo population.

In short, the grain of the Tibetan people can be snatched, the villages can be burned, and the horses can be slaughtered, but the Tibetan people cannot be killed casually. Exceptions are made if there are those who resist stubbornly.

This even made Guo Ziyi and other generals feel that it was a little too much, and even Su Hudong felt that Zhang Xuan was a little old-fashioned and dogmatic, too bookish.

The Tang army attacked Tubo and drove straight in, even if there were soldiers robbing a Tibetan woman or something, it was nothing. But Zhang Xuan resolutely did not allow it, there were still soldiers who violated it at the beginning, and after killing a few, no one went to Xuan Zhang Xuan's gun again.

"We are the Tang Dynasty military horse, the state of etiquette of the Heavenly Empire, not a bandit, ♀ this commander has reiterated again and again, eliminate your strict orders, and must not be violated. If anyone dares to defy the law, Hugh blames Ben Shuai for turning his face and being ruthless. ”

Zhang Xuan waved his hand, and immediately took the initiative to change the topic, "As for Luo Qicheng, although Ben Shuai also wants to go to the Tubo Royal Court to have a look, the conditions are not ripe. With the strength and combat effectiveness of our army, there is no problem in taking some cities, but there will definitely be a certain price ♀ to pay, which the commander is unwilling to bear. ”

"Ben Shuai led 30,000 soldiers and horses to fight in Tibet, and in the coming days, he brought these 30,000 soldiers and horses back to the Tang Dynasty. I will not kill my army and sacrifice in this foreign land! ”

"This commander has a sixteen-character formula, please keep in mind, this is the main purpose of our army's march and operation in Tubo: undetermined, flexible and mobile, concentrate forces, and retreat with one blow!"

"There are no definite rules for the route of the march, it is necessary to be flexible and mobile, and in the battle we should concentrate our forces on winning the battle, and after the battle, we should retreat quickly, so that the Tubo army and horses would not be allowed to move in the real direction of our army." Zhang Xuan said, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "This handsome bridge the nose of the Tubo people, so that the Tubo people are tired!" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is far-sighted, the art of war is like a god, and the last general is ashamed!" Guo Ziyi and the others bowed down again, Zhang Xuan laughed, "You don't have to pat the marshal anymore, all in all, this time, our army is not about annihilating how many Tubo soldiers this time, nor about occupying how many Tubo cities, but about attacking and disturbing the situation in Tubo." ”

At the time of the fourth watch, the Tang army had finished its meal, and it made a detour and quickly attacked Namuqi City.

This sudden diversion directly caused the Tubo soldiers and horses that were attacking the Tang army to pounce. After a rapid march day and night, in the early morning of the day of Dilan, Zhang Xuan led his army to the city of Namu, which was located in the city of Namu. There were less than 2,000 defenders of Namge, guarding the military town and the supply base.

The Tubo people didn't expect that Zhang Xuan's purpose was not to take some cities but to Namu.

Tens of thousands of Tang troops came all over the mountains, shouting to kill the heavens, and the 2,000 Tubo troops guarding Namuja were panicked and frightened, and did not dare to fight, so they abandoned the city. However, when the troops retreated, they set fire to the city, trying to burn the grain, grass and baggage, so as not to be used by the Tang army.

However, the Tang army came in a hurry and suddenly, and the Tubo soldiers and horses reacted slowly, and although they set fire, they did not have time to form too much fire, and they were extinguished by the Tang army, and a lot of grain and grass supplies and military equipment were snatched out.

The Tang army captured the city of Namu, and received sufficient food and grass supplies. The Tubo army horses to be pursued and the soldiers and horses from all over Tubo got the news and quickly attacked Namusome City, Zhang Xuan resolutely ordered the army to decisively abandon Namusome and advance to the south, making a win-win attack on Luosome City.

More than 30,000 Tang troops said that more is not too much, and less is not too little. Such a deliberate and powerful momentum made the Tibetan people tremble. The Tibetan magnates in Luoqi City were even more chaotic, and many magnates even fled from Luoqi City with their families.

This balance created the conditions for Stanley's seizure of power.

On the third day of Zhang Xuan's capture of Namuqi City, Stanley killed Tubo Zampu, and with the support of the powerful minister Dong Zebu, ascended to the throne of Tubo, and at the same time ordered the whole country to annex the remaining 25,000 troops and horses of Tubo on the line of Hejiao to hurry back to Tubo and reinforce Luoqi City.

Stanley released cruel words, to gather the strength of the whole country to trap Zhang Xuan's 30,000 Tang troops in Tubo, and if he didn't kill Zhang Xuan, he couldn't eliminate the hatred in his heart!

The Tubo army and horses on the first line of Hejiao quietly withdrew from Hejiao and returned to some cities. On the other hand, when the Tibetan soldiers and horses arrived at Namuji and obtained a ruined city, they continued to pursue in the direction of Zhang Xuan's troops, but Zhang Xuan had already led the army to turn back again, and walked a "parallel line" with the pursuing Tubo army and horses, and ran for more than 100 miles, and took another military fortress in a straight line with Namuqi City, which was located in the northeast direction of Luoqi City.

Qilin fell wrongly, the Tubo soldiers and horses were shocked and had to turn around and chase the Tang army, the Tubo army and horses went back and forth to consume physical strength, and the army was miserable and complained.

At this time, Zhang Xuan had already led the army deep into the territory of Tubo for more than a month, and "entered the early September of the twelfth year of Tianbao, the season of early autumn.

And the name Zhang Xuan is famous in Tubo, and it has almost become synonymous with the legendary devil, which makes the Tubo soldiers and civilians shudder and tremble.

The Tubo three-way soldiers and horses surrounded Qilincuo, and they swooped into the air as usual, and the Tang army lost its trace. Although the Tubo divided their troops to pursue everywhere, the more than 30,000 Tang troops seemed to have disappeared, and it was difficult to find a trace.

Prior to this, in August, Zhang Xuan led the Longshuo soldiers and horses to win more with less in the Qinghai line, and defeated the enemy of the Tubo invasion of the major good news has been transmitted to Chang'an, this brilliant victory shook the entire Tang Dynasty, and greatly stabbed the national self-confidence of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

It was the morning of August 11, and the sun was shining.

More than ten Longshuo soldiers rode into Chang'an City, crossed Zhuque Street, held up the military newspaper and shouted, "Longshuo war report, Shancheng victory!" ”

"Shancheng is Jia Jie, Zhang Dadu Governor led the army to annihilate 24,000 Tubo army horses!"

The calm Chang'an City suddenly boiled, and the name of Zhang Xuan, the governor of Longshuo and the hero of the war, was mentioned again, and became a hot topic of conversation among the military and civilian officials and people in the government and the opposition.

Li Heng was ecstatic when he heard the news, and immediately summoned the civil and military ministers to meet with the envoy of the Longshuo military report in the Mingde Hall of Xingqing Palace.

Liu Kai, the military envoy who reported the victory, was just a small lieutenant colonel, and he was ordered by Chong to report to Chang'an, but he didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to stand on the Golden Dining Hall and report to His Royal Highness the Prince of the Prison State in front of the civil and military courtiers.

Liu Kai walked through the courtier's train with some nervousness and awe, and knelt down on the hall with a puff and didn't dare to look up.

Li Heng smiled slightly, "You don't have to be nervous, and report to the palace." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"On July 28, Governor Zhang Dadu led 40,000 soldiers and horses of Longshuo to fight a decisive battle outside Shancheng with the invading Tubo army, and our army won more than 24,000 people and captured thousands of people at a very small cost of casualties! Qinghai has recovered lost ground on all fronts! ””

Li Heng suddenly slapped the dragon case and shouted, "Okay! Such a great victory, greatly increase the prestige of my Datang, and the Longshuo military horse has made great contributions to Datang! This palace is here to ask you, has Governor Zhang Dadu's army ever returned to Lingzhou now? ”

"If you return to Your Highness, Governor Zhang Dadu led 30,000 soldiers and horses to cross the Chiling, pursue the remnants of Tubo, and drive straight into the territory of Tubo. @。
