The escape of the eldest grandson Wuji is just a small episode for the entire battle situation, and it will not affect any ending.

Ronkoll almost mobilized the whole army, searched for most of the night, and finally had to end the search amid the continuous complaints of the soldiers.

Although he was unwilling, he was worried that Li Jing would chase back again, so he still ordered a quick withdrawal of troops as soon as it was dawn.

If it is to find an eldest grandson Wuji, these eighty or ninety thousand people will be put in, and it is estimated that Cole will even scold his mother if he dies.

The Tibetans withdrew their troops yesterday afternoon, and at noon today, Li Jing, who was slowly walking back, saw an army of 20,000 people who had come to meet him.

The speed of 20,000 people is not fast, and they are not very accustomed to the climate here.

Li Jing didn't expect them to help much, but this time, the 20,000 people really helped Li Jing a lot.

"What? You're here with supplies? Vice General Gao Yang's face was full of surprise and wanted to laugh wildly, but considering that his identity was not suitable for this, he could only endure it.

But the expression on his face, as well as the slightly trembling body, all indicated his excitement and excitement at the moment.

How short of food are they now?

The answer, of course, is very lacking.

If it hadn't been controlled half a month in advance, three meals a day would have been changed to two meals a day, and ten days ago, from two meals a day to two or three meals a day, each reduced by one-third, and three days ago, they could only barely maintain one meal a day, which was still the reduced standard.

Yesterday, for a whole day, there was a fire in the army, and everyone just drank a bowl of gruel, clear soup and little water, which was a real gruel.

If the Tibetans continue to surround and not leave, at most three days, the Tibetans only need one charge, and it is estimated that they will be defeated.

If the Tibetans were patient enough to wait for seven or eight days, without even a single charge, they would lie on the ground and wait for the Tibetans to come and harvest their lives.

"Yes, the situation at the front line is also known to the rear, so when we came this time, we also brought a lot of food, and in addition to food, there were also a lot of ordnance and firearms." The person in charge of leading the team is Cao Yingqing, the assassin of Jiazhou.

Jiazhou is located in the southeast of Yazhou, the two states are not far apart, it is a distance of dozens of miles, although Cao Yingqing has no experience in leading troops alone, but Jiazhou is also close to the border, and occasionally it will be attacked by the Tubo, so in terms of leading the army, there is still some experience.

As for the 20,000 troops, most of them were composed of miscellaneous armies.

Of course, this does not mean that these miscellaneous armies have no combat effectiveness, and after the military reform, the Tang Army can be said to have improved the combat effectiveness of every soldier, and it is said that they are miscellaneous armies, just because these are all temporary patchwork together.

If they were to take the regiment as a unit, they would not be able to defeat the Yazhou army led by Li Jing, but they would not be too inferior, and they were still much stronger than the Tubo people.

Because they are all garrisons in various places, they are naturally inferior in terms of training, and in addition, there is no opportunity for joint training, and their biggest problem is in terms of cooperating with operations.

Even if the Yazhou Army and the Yumen Army led by Su Dingfang are put together, the combat effectiveness will decrease, this is not to say that the soldiers are not good, it is completely because of the run-in problem.

"You brought all the troops here, what about the stability of all places?" Li Jing asked with a slight frown.

Shu is difficult and dangerous, the road is rugged, although Shu is the third largest soldier, but the troops stationed in Shu are not much, there are many soldiers recruited from Shu, all of them have been transferred to other places.

And in the entire Shu region, the only one who can show his hand is his own Yazhou army, and there are some in other places, although the entire Yazhou, excluding his own Yazhou army, has a total strength of about 80,000 people, but those are scattered in various states and counties, most of them have one or two thousand people, and some even have only one regiment.

Transferring 20,000 yuan at once, although the problem will not be exposed all at once, but there must be a problem.

Shu is mountainous, the land is rich, but there are also many bandits, and the local governments even have to spend a large part of the year on suppressing bandits, which is what Li Jing is most worried about.

"The general doesn't need to worry too much, His Majesty has already dispatched 30,000 troops to the south, and when the army arrives, we will go back where we come from, although the days are tighter, but there will be no mistakes for a while, those people are all monkeys, and they dare not make a mistake at this time." Cao Yingqing smiled slightly and said the latest situation.

"Hey......" Li Jing sighed, a little helpless.

Because he was surrounded before, he didn't have much contact with the imperial court, and he originally planned to highlight the future to reorganize the army and move westward again.

But I didn't expect His Majesty to send another 30,000 people, 30,000 people, is it much?

Not much.

Compared with the 170,000 army under Su Dingfang, even if he adds 30,000 people, he only has 70,000 people in his hands, and the gap between the two is very large.

But sometimes the problem can't be seen like this, there is no shortage of food in Shudi, but the roads are very poor, no matter how much food there is, it is difficult to transport it, so it has caused their own 40,000 people is almost the limit, and if there are more, you can only mobilize more people to transport to ensure it.

Su Dingfang's side is relatively smooth, and the transportation of materials is more convenient, although the road is farther, but it is better than the road, and a fainting can make them eat for several days, plus the seizure in Tuyuhun, so there is basically not much shortage of food over there, and it is difficult to see even the shadow of a crisis.

"Cao Tingshi, how much food did you bring this time?" Li Jing no longer dwelled on this question and asked directly.

Since the above has made this decision, it must have been considered perfectly, 30,000 reinforcements, not many people, but it directly told Li Jing's court the thoughts, this battle will continue to be fought, you only need to be responsible for the victory, and you don't have to worry about the rest.

"Enough for an army to eat for a month!" Cao Yingqing said.

Enough for an army to eat for a month......

Li Jing was slightly shocked in his heart, but he was also more convinced of his thoughts, the imperial court did not want to withdraw to Yazhou to rest, and the 20,000 people brought by Cao Yingqing were not only here to relieve the siege for themselves, but also to send food to themselves.

As for his baggage team, the devil knows where it is now? Maybe they have already been besieged by the Tibetans to another world, who knows?

"Cao Tingshi, please leave this grain, and then return to Yazhou with the army, temporarily act as a baggage team, and bring more food to the army." Li Jing entrusted to Cao Yingqing.

"Good!" Cao Yingqing nodded, as a baggage team, with 20,000 people as a baggage team, it was a little embarrassing to say it, but it was not a shame to lose face.

These people I brought, for the time being, it is a little difficult to even be qualified for the baggage team, mainly because the environment here is too bad, and this is still not far away, if you go further, who knows what will happen?

Rather than let them suffer this crime, Cao Yingqing would prefer to be a baggage team, anyway, Li Jing's 40,000 people can defeat the other party, as long as the grain and grass keep up.

Another one, he just came to help temporarily, and when the 30,000 troops of the imperial court came, there would be nothing to do with him here, Cao Yingqing knew his level very well, and there was no problem in relying on the city to defend it, this kind of leading troops out, he was not that material at all.

"General Gao, the commander ordered that the man immediately bury the pot and make rice, everyone will eat seventy percent full, and then close the camp, today we will advance thirty miles to the west, and we will rest at night." After arranging the logistics, Li Jing turned to Gao Yang and commanded.

"General, the soldiers are very tired now, why don't you rest for a day or two and go west?" Gao Yang was stunned, even if the Tubo people withdrew, they didn't have to be in such a hurry, besides, during this time, the soldiers were not only short of food, but also mentally sluggish.

The main reason is that they have been besieged for days, plus they have been cut off from food and grass, if they are not still mentally supporting, or if they don't want to give up their current life, it is estimated that they would have collapsed long ago.

If you fight back directly without resting, even an iron man can't bear it.

"There's no time!" How could Li Jing not know the hardships of the soldiers, and how could he not be bitter himself? But no matter how bitter it is, you have to grit your teeth and persist at this time, "The Tubo people have surrounded us for so long, and there is still the eldest grandson Wuji there, if the Tubo people don't know our situation, it is understandable, but how can the eldest grandson Wuji not see our reality and reality?" They must have known that we were running out of food and grass, and that they just needed to hold on and trap us soon, but they still retreated, and there must have been a problem somewhere else, so they had to retreat. ”

"Could it be that they discovered the 20,000 new forces brought by Cao Tingshi? So you feel invincible, so you can only give up and retreat? Gao Yang still insisted on resting, even if it was only for a whole day, and he fought for more than two months in a row, without stopping for a day, and the soldiers were too tired.

"Impossible, although there must be part of the reason for this, but the main reason is definitely not that Cao Jianshi is here, in that case, they should at least send some people to block it, cut off the road, sneak attack or something, Changsun Wuji is very good at this, but they didn't do anything, they were still attacking in the morning, and they suddenly retreated in the afternoon, and the retreat was so clean." Li Jing squinted his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Now it seems that there is only one other possibility." ”

"The general means the north?" Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously thought of another possibility, if this was the case, then it would be understandable that the Tubo people were in a hurry to withdraw their troops.

"Yes, it must be Su Dingfang who has gone south, and it is not far from their lair, otherwise, they will never withdraw so quickly!" Li Jing faintly guessed this possibility, and was a little helpless at the moment, but he waved his fist with some excitement and said: "While our army has replenished grain and grass, we should catch up at this time, and we can gnaw as much as we can, otherwise, the Tubo army is not enough for Su Dingfang to gnaw on himself......"
