Although Li Qing also knew that it was inappropriate to do this, Wei Yanyu was receiving treatment in the Luan Pavilion at the moment, if Li Qing led people back to the Jiedu Embassy to discuss the military, the losses that the Luan Pavilion had just suffered would definitely not be able to protect Wei Yanyu's safety, and it was precisely because of this consideration that Li Qing would choose this arrangement. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

And the high-level leaders of Jiannan Dao on the side are all old and sophisticated, after all, they can mix to this level, which one will be a simple role, everyone is naturally very clear about Li Qing's arrangement, and there is no one who stands up against it?

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Liu Ran said slowly and quietly: "According to the last general, this Tubo attack is different from the past, presumably because he learned the reason why our Jiannan Dao has a new commander, not so much that this Tubo attack is a tentative attack on the Tang Empire, but rather that Tubo wants to take this opportunity to test the ability of the new Jiedu envoy of Jiannan Dao, that is, His Royal Highness King Shou.

This is also why Tubo did not choose to guard the area of Yazhou on the southwest border of Jiannan Province, where the strength of the nobles is weak, but chose Songzhou, which is relatively strong and heavily guarded, because the other party knows that Asia is already weak, and even if it is the defense line of Tubo Yazhou, he can't see His Royal Highness's ability to command the army.

Instead of wasting time and effort to attack from Yazhou, it is better to have a real battle between the two sides, if the most elite northwest soldiers and horses in Jiannan Province are still unable to resist the pace of the Tubo attack, they will inevitably underestimate His Highness in their hearts, and when the time comes, after 20,000 forward soldiers and horses, I am afraid it will be the real 100,000 elite.

After all, if Yazhou occupies Jiannan Road at most, and if Songzhou is broken through, it can not only control the entire territory of Jiannan Road, but also threaten the entire northwest defense line of Datang.

nodded, although he took over the post of Jiannan Daojiedu envoy for several months, but the king of Tubo is far from here, and it takes a lot of time to pass the news back and forth plus the corresponding preparations, and now it seems that this Tubo attack may really be a test of himself, if successful, the army commander will drive straight in, go straight to Jiannan, if defeated, then reposition Li Qing, within a few years, dare not have the heart to attack!

Li Qing, who had made up his mind, looked at the people in front of him and said solemnly: "Since Tubo wants to see the methods of this king, this king will definitely not let them down!" ”

It was at this time that the sound of fast horses galloping came from outside the hall again, and he didn't wait long, a blood-stained messenger saw Li Qing, who was sitting in the first place, panting and said: "Your Palace, ・・・・・・Your Palace, Your Majesty, yesterday evening, an unknown number but very elite Tubo army suddenly appeared in Victoria, just three hours to break the county, attack Xiaofeng, directly threaten Xue Cheng, Xue Cheng as the gateway to Victoria, once breached, Victoria, which is not in danger to defend, is bound to be difficult to protect, and please send someone to help quickly!" “

After that, the exhausted messenger soldier did not wait for Li Qing's answer, he could no longer support it, he fell to the ground, and the medical officer on the side of his heart took him down and bandaged his wounds, Li Qing's face was slightly gloomy and looked at the group of high-level officials in front of him, and said with a little heaviness: "It seems that the matter is more serious than we imagined, although Songzhou Victoria is not as good as Songzhou's lead and moves the whole body, but this time Tubo chose to attack Victoria like a snake hitting seven inches, just choking the dead hole of the northwest frontier defense of our Jiannan Road, let us tie our hands and feet, Don't give it your all. “

If the two states send troops to reinforce Songzhou, this will inevitably not be able to reinforce Victoria, on the contrary, if the two states choose to send troops to Victoria, if Songzhou is lost, the consequences will be more serious, if the two states choose to sit in their own state, neither side will reinforce them, once Victoria and Songzhou are occupied by the Tibetans, under the attack, the two states may lose faster.

Hearing Li Qing's words, everyone fell into deep thought, after all, Li Qing was telling the truth, after being silent for a long time, a civil official of the Yamen looked at Li Qing, whose face was not good-looking, and said tentatively: "Your Highness, this time the Tibetan army has obviously surpassed the past, I am afraid that it will not be like in the past just plundering and returning home, if this is the case, the other party will definitely not be so aggressive except for so many soldiers and horses, according to the words of the lower officials, for the sake of prudence, Your Highness might as well send someone to Chang'an to ask for support, and when the time comes, when my elite army of the Tang Dynasty arrives, it will definitely be able to crush the attack of Tubo! ”

After all, it is a civilian official who has not experienced battlefield fighting, naturally he will not understand the truth of the rapid changes on the battlefield, and he has no intention of blaming, Li Qing vetoed and said: "Don't mention the rapid change of the battlefield situation, but Jiannan Road is far away from Chang'an, Kyoto, and it will take at least half a month to come and go, and it will take a lot of time to reorganize the soldiers and horses and select the generals. “

Besides, this king was entrusted by his father to guard the frontier for my Tang Town, if he retreated after the war, then how could he live up to his father's ardent expectations, this king has the blood of the Li Tang royal family, since I have been chaste for 12 years, my Tang Dynasty can settle the battle and let the 200,000 Tubo soldiers and horses outside Songzhou City sink into the sand, and this king is categorically worthy of the Songzhou land that countless ancestors have squandered to protect! “

"Tubo wants to take this battle to test whether the new Jiannan Daojie envoy is qualified to be their opponent, this page wants to test whether the Tubo army is really as invincible as the legend, invincible, this battle this king wants to let the name of King Shou resound in Jiannan, and the military power of Jiannan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the Tubo people!"

"Those who offend my Tang Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away! You are willing to fight to the death with this king and defend my borders! As he spoke, a touch of pride gradually appeared on Li Qing's face, which had always been calm and breezy from beginning to end, and behind this pride was because behind him stood a powerful empire that was dominating the east and illuminating half of the world-the Tang Empire!

Li Qing finished speaking, even if the civil and military officials present were past the age of blood and impulsiveness, they couldn't help but boil their blood when they heard Li Qing's inspiring words, and immediately the military generals hugged their fists and the civil officials bowed to the surrounding armored soldiers knelt down on one knee one after another, and said in unison: "We are willing to follow His Royal Highness, fight to the death, raise my sword southern military might, and defend my Tang Dynasty national prestige!" "The sound is loud and enduring!
