Chapter 260: Take Tuyuhun!

Li Guangbi smiled indifferently, glanced at Li Fuguo, and the brilliance of disdain flashed away, and said softly, "The last general will not dare." Since Li Jianjun was ordered to inspect Hezhou, how could the last general dare not obey? Someone came, arranged for Li Jianjun's residence, and sent a team of soldiers to guard the safety of Li Jianjun's ...... in Hezhou."

After speaking, Li Guangbi turned his head and went with the generals what they should do.

Li Fuguo was annoyed and angry, but he didn't dare to attack in person, after all, in the army, if he really tore his face with Li Guangbi, I am afraid that he would not have his good fruit to eat.

Although Li Fuguo is arrogant, he is not stupid.

For Li Guangbi's disrespect, he endured it.

On the day he came to Hezhou, he sent someone to send a secret recital to Li Heng. It is nothing more than that Zhang Xuan formed a party in Longshuo for personal gain, and the Longshuo Ministry will not listen to orders, disrespect the court, and disrespect His Royal Highness.

He suggested to the imperial court that Feng Chong and Li Guangbi be removed from their military posts, and that when they were sent to Longshuo β€–, he suggested that relations with Tubo be repaired and the Tibetan prince Trisong Detsen be released.

Li Fuguo took it to Hezhou for three or four days, and found that the Tang army on the front line of Hejiao was preparing for war, and he was very dissatisfied. In addition, the city and the city were full of people from the border areas of Shanzhou and Qinghai, who were in full swing to settle down, which greatly contradicted his decree, and he was even more angry.

Li Guangbi avoided him. Li Fuguo endured it for a few days, but finally couldn't help it anymore and broke directly into Li Guangbi's handsome hall.

Li Guangbi was discussing with Zhang Xuan and the others, when he suddenly saw Li Fuguo break in, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice, "Why did Li Jianjun trespass into the military tent...... Is there something wrong? ”

Li Fuguo said angrily, raised his hand and pointed at Li Guangbi and said, "Li Guangbi, you are so bold!" This prison army was ordered to control the government affairs of Longshuo soldiers and horses, and this prison army has two military orders, so that you can transfer the soldiers and horses from Hezhou and return to their original positions, why don't you respect the order? ”

"You are bold and reckless, and you are planning to fight in Hezhou without authorization, intending to provoke the Tangbo War, which is a capital crime. This prison army has already played to the imperial court, please punish your crimes! ”

Li Guangbi smiled indifferently, "Li Jianjun is serious. This will be ordered by the Governor of Zhang Dadu to garrison Hejiao and prepare for war, this is the military order of the Governor of Dadu, what is the crime of this general? As for the dispatch of the Li Supervisor's army, please forgive the general's blunt words, you have no jokes, what is the purpose of the supervisor to change the order of the metropolitan overseer without authorization? ”

"This will be the subordinate general of the Metropolitan Governor, and he should only obey the orders of the Metropolitan Governor."

"If the general is not mistaken, the imperial court ordered that Li Jianjun temporarily take over the military power and government affairs of Longshuo during the period when the governor of Dadu marched to Tubo and was not in Longshuo...... Li Jianjun is not a metropolitan governor after all, and he needs to be more self-respecting, don't let the villain act wantonly and let someone look down on the prison army! ”

Li Fuguo was annoyed and angry, and trembled with anger, "Li Guangbi, you dare to disobey the imperial court!" You only have Zhang Xuan in your eyes, you don't have the imperial court, and you don't respect His Royal Highness the prince of the prison country, this prison army will definitely join you to the imperial court! ”

Li Fuguo's sharp and trembling voice echoed in the hall, and Li Guangbi glanced at him in disgust, and said in a deep voice, "There is no excuse for the crime that the prison lord wants to add!" This general is busy with affairs, and if the overseer doesn't have any official business, please take care of yourself. ”

Li Fuguo trembled and took out Li Heng's edict from his arms, held it high in his hand, and said in a trembling voice, "The imperial court is here, do you dare to disrespect it?" This prison army orders you to be pulled out immediately, transfer the soldiers and horses of Hejiao, and do not provoke the war of Tangbo without authorization! ”

"The imperial court did not order the general to withdraw his troops. Most of the governors ordered us to wait for the defense in Hezhou...... Li Jianjun's order, please forgive me for not being able to obey it, I'm sorry! ”

Li Guangbi's voice was very cold, and it was even more resolute.

Of course, he is very resolute, and his attitude towards Li Fuguo is also very poor. Because a day ago, he had received a secret report from the soldiers sent by Zhang Xuan, and knew that Zhang Xuan was about to lead the army across Tubo and arrive at the periphery of Tuyuhun's hometown.

He was ordered to immediately reorganize the army, wait for Zhang Xuan's order, and march at any time, advance into Tuyuhun's hometown, annihilate the 8,000 Tubo soldiers and horses left in Tuyuhun's hometown, and occupy a large area of Tuyuhun's hometown!

It's all here, Li Fuguo is still chirping, how can he give him a good face?

"Presumptuous, presumptuous! Li Guangbi, you are so presumptuous! Li Fuguo rode the tiger and stood in the hall angrily and roared, while Li Guangbi looked at him coldly.

If Li Fuguo hadn't been the overseer appointed by the imperial court, he would have taken him down long ago.

"You just jump, wait for the Metropolitan Governor to return to the Dynasty from the Tubo class, and wait for a certain family and the Metropolitan Governor to occupy and take the Tuyuhun hometown, and this great achievement will be cast...... Let the Metropolitan Governor go back and clean up your eunuch! Li Guangbi sneered in his heart, but his expression was excited.

The civil strife in Tubo, the front-line soldiers and horses of the Tubo River are all recycled, and there are only less than 10,000 people in Tuyuhun's hometown at this moment, this strength, not to mention that Zhang Xuan and Li Guangbi are flanked back and forth, even if Li Guangbi is allowed to attack unilaterally, it can be taken without dispute!

The Metropolitan Governor is really clever, brave and strategic, and even led the army to stir up the sky in the territory of Tubo, playing the Tubo people in the palm of his hand, and creating a gap in the hometown of Tuguhun ...... If the great cause is successful, the prestige of a certain family will overshadow Guo Ziyi, and it is not difficult to become an official and become a knight. When Li Guangbi thought of this, he couldn't help but be excited.

Suddenly, a soldier's respectful voice came from the door: "General, there is an urgent report!" ”

Li Guangbi felt a thrill in his heart, turned his head and exchanged an excited look with Zhang Xun, Huo Ran got up and said in a deep voice, "Pass in!" ”

After a while, a sturdy soldier strode in with his bags on his back. He saluted Li Guangbi with his fists, then looked left and right, hesitated slightly, took out a secret letter from his arms, and handed it to Li Guangbi.

Li Guangbi took the secret letter with some excitement, and the delicate handwriting of "Li Guangbi personally opened" on the cover came into view, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

The time to take Tuyuhun's hometown has finally come, and the order of the Grand Overseer has finally arrived! Li Guangbi has been waiting for this day for a long time.

"Li Guangbi, this marshal led the army to arriveβˆͺ and ordered you to lead 40,000 troops to set out on September 23, and be sure to arrive at the front line of the periphery before noon on September 25 to attack, and strive to end the battle in time and take Tuyuhun's hometown!"

Zhang Xuan's handwriting is very elegant, especially the words "take down Tuyuhun's hometown" are very vigorous and powerful, which shows his confidence and courage.

Li Guangbi laughed loudly, and then handed the secret letter in his hand to Zhang Xun.

Zhang patrol, big joy.

Li Guangbi ignored Li Fuguo's existence, slammed the table, and said loudly, "The generals listen to the order!" Mobilize soldiers and horses to carry heavy loads, set off on the fifth watch the day after tomorrow, and go west to Tuyuhun's hometown! ”

Li Guangbi looked back at Zhang Xun and said with a smile, "Lord Zhang, this general will lead the army westward, and I will leave this matter of Hezhou and logistics and defense to Lord Zhang." ”

Li Guangbi's subordinate generals, lieutenants and others suddenly agreed, and Li Fuguo's face changed dramatically and shouted, "Li Guangbi, do you really want to go your own way and rebel against the imperial court?" You dare to transfer troops to invade Tibet without authorization, this is a capital crime! ”

Li Guangbi laughed, smiled, and said gloomily, "Li Jianjun, the last general is ordered to act, what is the crime?" ”

"You...... You are presumptuous, whose orders are you on? The ...... of this prison army"

"This is Governor Zhang's military order, who dares to disobey? Li Jianjun, do you have to disobey the military orders of the Grand Governor? Li Guangbi smiled coldly, and his voice was cold.

Li Fuguo suddenly had a spirit, and he looked at Li Guangbi with incredible eyes: "Zhang ...... Zhang Xuan? ”

Li Guangbi laughed and left, Zhang Xun and the others also listed, leaving Li Fuguo standing alone, like falling into an ice cellar, he was cold.

……

……

The real Tuyuhun ruled over a large area. At its peak, the territory stretched from the east to the west of the present-day Longdong River, the northwest of Jiannan, the south to the south of Qinghai, the west to the Western Regions Ruoqiang, and the end, and the north across the Qilian Mountains and the Hexi Corridor.

The "hometown of Tuyuhun" in Zhang Xuan's mouth is the Tuyuhun area in a narrow sense, which generally refers to a large river valley basin from the west of Hejiao to Doma and north to Qinghai Lake, with an area of about four or five Hehun land, such a large ♀ area of abundant water and grass, fertile land, and mostly grazing land for the Tubo people.

In addition to the 8,000 military horses stationed in Tibet, there are also several remnants of Tuyuhun small tribes, which have long been subordinated to Tibet.

Zhang Xuan led the army to Doma and directly cut off the retreat of the Tuyuhun Tubo army. At the same time, Li Guangbi led 40,000 soldiers and horses of Hejiao to advance into Tuyuhun with great momentum, and under the combined attack of the two armies, with a force of 70,000 troops, he fought against the Tubo army of less than 10,000 people and thousands of soldiers and horses of the Tuyuhun tribe, and there was no suspense about the outcome of the battle.

Shen Shi launched an attack, and ended the battle before the unitary time, annihilating 8,000 soldiers and horses in Tubo, and capturing more than 10,000 Tuyuhun tribes belonging to Tubo.

Tiebuka City, the former capital of Tuyuhun, is also the military and political center of the Tubo people ruling the hometown of Tuyuhun today, and it is the only existing city in this river valley basin, in fact, it is quite large-scale.

……

……

Clear and refreshing, the red sun is in the sky.

Zhang Xuan led the generals to climb on top of the Tiebuka City Tower, looking at the beautiful and fertile Tuyuhun Plain, and the mood was not good.

He planned for so long and spent so much effort to finally take this land, and this world-famous feat is enough for him to remember in the annals of history for his achievements in opening up the territory.

Behind Zhang Xuan, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Lei Wanchun, Nan Jiyun and other generals in the army looked excited.

The clear wind blew, Zhang Xuan smiled loudly, looked back at Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi and others, and waved his hand, "Everyone, successfully take the hometown of Tuyuhun, which is equivalent to four or five rivers and villages, our army has stationed troops and immigrated here, and has been holding on for a long time, and over time, it will become an important gateway for the Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo." ”

"Ben Shuai will play the imperial court and set up the Hejiao Governor's Mansion here...... Li Guangbi, you, the 40,000 people, will firmly guard this place for Ben Shuai. ”

Li Guangbi respectfully clasped his fists and saluted, "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Of course, this land is rich in water and grass, and it has always been a place for the Tibetan people to graze and raise horses. Now that the Tibetan people are in civil strife, they can't take care of this side for the time being, but if time goes by, the Tibetan people will definitely raise a large army to attack this place, and you alone will not be able to defend it with your 40,000 people. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled indifferently, turned his head and pointed to the distance, "Ben Shuai intends to build a tall fortress on the periphery of this place, connect them in a line, and block the Tubo cavalry with the help of the mountainous terrain." As long as you can hold on for a few days, reinforcements from the three towns of Longshuo, Hexi, and Jiannan can gallop in, and the Tubo people will not be troubled. ”
