Wearing a small-sleeved round-necked straight-placked brocade robe, the robe is knee-length, the cuffs and collar are all bird-patterned lace, the head is tied with a vertebral bun, and the chest is hung with a jeweled prayer bead. Just yesterday, he and his third brother Zanpo led the army to drive straight in, breaking the tent of the king of Tuyuhun, and it can be said that almost the entire territory of Tuyuhun is already in the pocket of Tubo.

Although Tuyuhun was at his fingertips, Qin Ling's heart was not happy at all. Under the governance of his father Er Dongzan, Tubo is certainly thriving, and its military strength and national strength have been greatly improved, but how can the Tang Dynasty in the east be easy to get along? The reason why he took advantage of this time to attack Tuyuhun was to seize the time difference, so that Datang would not have the space to send troops, who knows......

"Second brother!"

He followed the prestige, and when he saw the third brother Zanpo open the curtain and come in, a smile appeared on his face: "I came back this time in embarrassment, if it wasn't for the third brother, I am afraid that I will really be planted halfway." You're leading the troops to fight again, and you're trying to make excuses for me to come back, it's really hard! ”

"It's all brothers, second brother, what are you polite about! If my father dies, who else will inherit the throne but you? What are those nobles, it's a big deal that I sent troops to level them all! ”

Compared with Qinling, who had stayed in Datang for four years, Zanpo looked more heroic and strong, and when he sat cross-legged next to Qinling, he put away a smile full of indifference on his face, and said in a deep voice: "There are still four brothers, five brothers and a henchman of my father in the country, and there is no chaos, but Datang has continued to increase troops in the Taozhou area of Liangzhou Prefecture, and it is reported that it has reached more than 30,000 people. Are they really ready to send troops to aid Tuyuhun? ”

Jin Mingjia clearly swore that the Tang Dynasty is now especially important to Haidong, and the mobilization of troops and horses in Liaodong is even more frequent, how can it be the opposite of what she said now?

Although Qin Ling has always distrusted women. But he understood that the exchange of interests relationship with Jin Mingjia should be reliable, and at this time he couldn't help but hesitate and was about to speak. As soon as the curtain was lifted, a man bowed in.

"The Tang Dynasty took Yongwang Li Xian as the marshal of the Liangzhou Road march, and Qibi He Li as the deputy marshal of the Liangzhou Road March, claiming to lead 40,000 troops to support Tuyuhun!"

"It's finally here!"

When he really heard the news, the expression on Qin Ling's face was swept away, and the whole person looked unprecedentedly excited. Although he still didn't understand how Datang reacted so quickly, in the face of strong pressure, he was forced to force out his lofty ambition: "Third brother." In the past battle with the Tang Dynasty, our army was attacked at night and suffered thousands of injuries, and now you and I are leading the troops together, and this account will definitely be recovered! ”

Hear my brother's words. Tsampa had just recovered from her astonishment. Suddenly, he stood up. After laughing for a while, he saluted solemnly: "Since the second brother is here, these 50,000 people will be under your command." Just take Tuyuhun. The next day, you can go directly to the four towns of Anxi. At that time, even Datang can help me? ”

The Tibetan side is preparing for war. At the same time, it received the Tuyuhun surrenderers, and the Liangzhou side was also in full swing to reorganize the army. Historically, when marching and fighting, a 350,000 horse can be claimed to be 100,200,000, and a 100,000 soldiers and horses can be claimed to be 500,000,800,000. Therefore, when I heard that this time it was claimed to be 40,000 soldiers and horses, the generals from top to bottom of Liangzhou were muttering in their hearts.

It's just such a little person, how to fight?

At the same time, the Tuyuhun Khan Nuo Hao Bowl and Princess Honghua also led 4,000 soldiers and civilians under their tents into the state border. Faced with the number of four thousand, Li Xian and Qi He Li couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if Tuyuhun has decayed now, there are definitely more than a few people, which shows how many people Tuyuhun disobeys the Khan of Nuo Haobo.

"If it weren't for the fact that Lao Su retreated from the so-called 80,000 people of the Tubo army with 1,000 people and killed Dayan Mangjiebo, I'm afraid that the Nuo Hao bowl wouldn't even be able to bring out 4,000 people!"

He Li once fought the Eastern and Western Turks, and appeased Tiele, and he understood the situation best: "Tuyuhun and Tubo originate from the same line, in the past, after Dayan Mangjie descended to Tubo, he was ordered by Er Dongzan to divide the field boundary in Tubo, which won the hearts of the people, and there were not a few nobles who defected to Tuyuhun in the past. Fortunately, old Su Lian was not old, so he took advantage of a gap and killed him. It's just that even if this Tuyuhun is restored, how can the soldiers and civilians come from this tent? ”

If you don't investigate on the spot, you don't have the right to speak, and by this time, Li Xian gradually felt that the content in the book was really unreliable. After these days of making up for and understanding and probing, he finally understood that the seemingly vast territory of Datang was actually full of crises - the four towns of Anxi were attached to the rebellion; The Eastern and Western Turks said that they had been destroyed, but the enthusiasm for the restoration of the country was unprecedentedly high; Tuyuhun, a country supported by the Tang Dynasty, has long been twilight and precarious; As for Tibet, it is getting stronger day by day.

How do you look at this northwest, how can it be a dynamite bag, and the courtiers have always insisted that there is no war on the Western Front!

Qi Qi He Li's fist smashed hard somewhere on the map, and by the way, it also woke up Li Xian's cranky thoughts: "Now the four towns of Anxi are still under the control of my Datang, but even if Pei Xingjian can mobilize soldiers and horses, it will not be too much, otherwise if he is attacked by the enemy,

It is conceivable, so only a part of the troops can be transferred from Khotan. Your Highness, please see, Sichuan, east to Shijun, west to Fuluo River, from this to the west to Khotan, northeast to Chiling, northwest to Fuqi City, south to Wuhai, the mouth of the river, is the place of Jin. If you really want to march into the army, this snowy and glacial land must be taken! ”

Hearing such a familiar name, Li Xian suddenly had an extremely ridiculous thought in his heart - in history, Lao Xue was wise for half his life, and he was destroyed by a Da Fei Chuan, and now he has been replaced by the veteran Qi Qi He Li, and the four towns of Anxi have not been lost, it should not become the famous Da Fei Sichuan battle in history. Dispelling these nonsense thoughts, he listened intently to Qi Bi He Li's analysis of the battle situation.

Veterans are veterans after all, especially famous generals like Qi He Li who have never been defeated on the battlefield, and can advance and retreat. From the unstable foothold of Tubo's northward advance to the comparison of the forces of the enemy and us, from the direction of the transportation of grain routes, to the support of the Western Regions, and even the domestic movements of Tubo have been calculated. However, at the end of the contract, He Li sighed deeply.

"I often say that the countries of the Western Regions are rebellious and impermanent, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that some generals didn't know how to covet small profits, the four towns of Anxi would not have so many wars. In the past, Su Haizheng, the governor of Fenghaidao, was edicted to fight against Qiuzi, and there were two khans under his command who rose and died in the past and carried on the past with his troops. Su Haizheng listened to the slander of the past, and made Ji Jiaozhao kill Xing Xi and die. As a result, when he returned to the division, he met the Tubo army, and Su Haizheng bribed the Tubo with military funds to make peace and return. Since then, all the tribes have been separated from the past and the past. After the death of the past, the ten surnames were ownerless, and their subordinates were attached to Tibet. The prosperity of Tubo is actually due to the measures taken by the Tang Dynasty in various tribes, which are too hasty. ”

A former public case was told from the mouth of Qi He Li, and Li Xian could sweat on his back when he heard it—if he didn't know that only he knew his own intentions, he would almost think that Qi He Li was beating him, but at the same time, he also felt that the veteran was very reasonable. The national policy is not trivial for the country and the people, if it were not for this, the heavenly khan of Tang Taizong would not have aroused the envy of the subsequent emperors.

Seeing that Li Xian was thoughtful, Qi Bi He Li knew that this prince did not think it was wrong, and felt that this time he was lucky. He is a general, and the previous public case always gives people a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox, the older he gets, the more he feels unhappy, even if he knows that it is easy to provoke right and wrong when he says it, but fortunately, the prince in front of him is still sensible.

The Western Regions really need famous generals! Li Xian instantly sent such a thought to the gods. If, as it is now, the Western Regions has become a place of debasement for the placement of military generals who moved to the left, then who will do their best? If it weren't for a famous general like Pei Xingjian, I am afraid that the Western Regions would not know what it would look like now. However, what if Pei Xingjian is transferred away?

"Report, Pei Dadu has been protected!"

Seeing Sheng Yunwen push the door and report this, Li Xian and Qi Bi He Li glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a smile.

Pei Xingjian didn't just come to pay tribute to Su Dingfang, he came all the way from the Anxi Protectorate in Qiuzi Town to Liangzhou, just to discuss the future war. When he first arrived in the Western Regions, he was also depressed, and he was almost disheartened for a while, but when he saw the complicated situation in the Western Regions, he still cheered up, and was promoted all the way from the governor of Xizhou to the capital of Anxi, and spared no effort to pacify the four towns. This time, when he received the order to send troops, even he couldn't help but be surprised.

After offering incense in the mourning hall and comforting Su Yu as an elder, he walked out of the room with a depressing atmosphere, stood in the middle of the courtyard and exhaled deeply. It has been more than ten years since the promising Chang'an Ling moved to the Western Regions, and then to the current Anxi Metropolitan Protector. Su Dingfang was ordered to pacify Liangzhou, and it was not far away from Qiuzi, but he had only seen this master who had given him the art of war a few times, and he couldn't talk to each other every time.

"This is Pei Xingjian, who is both civil and military?"

Hearing this clear voice behind him, Pei Xingjian immediately turned around. Seeing a very tall and heroic young man standing in front of Qi Bi He Li, he was stunned.

While Pei Xingjian was looking at Li Xian, Li Xian was also looking at him. I saw that this legendary man was wearing an ochre-colored robe, wearing a long sword at his waist, he was in his early fifties, his sideburns were not messy, and the wind and sand of the Western Regions carved deep wrinkles on his face, but he did not look old, and his eyes were as sharp as eagles.

"The capital of Anxi protects Pei Xingjian to meet His Royal Highness King Yong!"

Li Xian hurriedly took a step forward, wanting to help him up, but as soon as he put his hand on it, he felt a sinking, and after being stunned, he added a little more strength, and he actually fell into a stalemate.

This situation lasted for a while, and Pei Xingjian finally stood up, while Li Xian smiled slightly, but he couldn't help smacking his tongue in his heart. This Pei Xingjian is really not a joke, he has such strength at his age. This Lao Pei was demoted because he was dissatisfied with the Empress Wu, wouldn't it be because of this reason that he was given a dismissal?
