Chapter 948

The appearance of Libuli did not save the end of the Qiang people's defeat, but only slowed down the process a little.

And if he didn't show up, maybe the 15,000 people brought by Bei Cong Woshi would have been able to run away a little more, but because of his appearance, those Qiang people who were ready to escape saw hope again, and the pace of escape was a little slower.

Therefore, less than 4,000 of the 20,000 Qiang people were able to leave alive in the end, and the rest were all slaughtered by the Tubo army led by Lu Dongzan, and countless heads were also cut off.

These heads will be pickled, and then when it is time to leave, they will be handed over to Xue Rengui who is blocked in Jishi Mountain, and Lao Xue will verify their combat exploits. At the same time, in view of the fact that these Tibetans surrendered for the first time, and this operation was also an action to suppress bandits, so there was no distinction between the old and the young, and all of them were counted as war exploits.

It is precisely because of such an order that the actions of the Tubo people this time seem to be particularly hard, and the two prefectures of Yan and Nuo have been sifted back and forth by them like a sieve, no less than four times, and it can be said that these two states have basically been killed for hundreds of miles without people, and there is no rooster crow for ten miles, and it has almost become a wild land.

Of course, the Tubo people did not pay a price, and in the more than two months of suppressing the bandits, more than 1,500 of the 5,000 Tubo elites buried their bones in the barren mountains, and they left this world with regrets.

However, Li Chengqian couldn't take care of the Tubo people in Songzhou at all now, and after instructing Xue Rengui to pay attention to the movements of the Tubo people and be careful not to eat their losses, all the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Tang Crown Prince turned to the Goguryeo war, which had been going on for a month.

The loss of Shabei City caught Goguryeo a little off guard, and Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's 150,000 troops stopped halfway, not knowing what choice to make, whether to turn to Yalu Water and go down the river to recapture Beisha City, or continue to maintain the original plan to support Anshi City.

"Bastard, Gao Yanshou is a bastard, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is afraid of the enemy, he doesn't know how to choose, it's all an excuse." In Goguryeo's pseudo-'Chang'an City', Gao Jianwu roared angrily.

The loss of Beisha City has given Datang the ability to attack Liaodong in the sea, and Anshi City will soon face attacks in the west and south, if Gao Yanshou and others in the north do not speed up, they are likely to be blocked by Datang's army in the middle of the road.

"Your Majesty, why don't you let the Northern Fusa directly divert to Liaodong City? There is a decisive battle with the Tang army, and with Liaoshui blocking the way, we can find an opportunity to defeat the Tang army in one fell swoop. ”

"Divert to Liaodong? Cut off the back road of the Tang Army? Faced with the proposal of his courtiers, Gao Jianwu's anger calmed down a little, no matter what the strategy was, but at least it was an idea, wasn't it.

"Huh? Chen, what does the minister mean ......" The guy who proposed just now was stunned for a moment, he didn't say anything about cutting off the back of the Tang Army, why was he misunderstood so far.

"Okay, you don't need to say it, King Tang personally conquered, you don't think that Liaodong City and Xincheng can block the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, right? If it can't be stopped, wouldn't the reinforcements rush over and collide head-on with the Tang army. Quangai Suwen waved his hand to interrupt the minister's next speech, turned his head to look at King Rongliu of Goguryeo and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not recommend cutting off the back road of the Tang Dynasty, the risk of doing so is too great, in case there is disharmony, the consequences are unimaginable!" ”

"Oh? Why? What is the high opinion of Mo Lizhi? Gao Jianwu looked at Quan Gai Suwen and asked without yin or yang.

When it comes to the struggle for power, there is no room for compromise in any case, and it would be strange if Gao Jianwu could look at Quan Gai Suwen.

"Since the Tang Dynasty has captured Shabei City, it is equivalent to having another logistics supply line, and it has no practical effect to attack the rear of the Tang Army, in case the Tang Dynasty breaks through the front line of the new city, then they will get supplies at sea, so that the reinforcements and Anshi City will be completely separated by the Tang Army, and it will not cause losses to the Tang Army, and if it is not done well, it will destroy Anshi City."

Quan Gai Suwen didn't care about Gao Jianwu's contempt, stood on top of the hall and talked eloquently, depreciating Gao Jianwu's proposal as worthless, and finally smiled coldly at Gao Jianwu who was also not yin or yang.

"You ......, okay, since Mo Lizhi said so, then there must be a better way, why don't you talk about it?" Gao Jianwu was a little unable to get off the stage, and glared at Quan Gai Suwen and said hatefully.

"Let them move forward according to the original plan, there is no practical point at all if Beisha City is not taken back now, since the Tang Naval Division can capture Beisha City, then their strength must not be underestimated, it is really unwise to fight with them before they don't know the details, so the best way now is to proceed according to the original plan." Quan Gai Suwen said confidently, and his voice was echoing in the main hall, which seemed to be quite instructive.

As for Gao Jianwu, who is sitting on the imperial steps, in Quangai Suwen's opinion, he is just a puppet, and there is no need to pay attention to him at all.

"Speaking of which, it's not the original plan, I thought Mo Lizhi had any high opinions." Gao Jianwu pursed his lips and also tried his best to belittle Quan Gai Suwen in order to recover the loss of his image.

"Not so! Your Majesty, the minister's plan is the words of the old Cheng to seek the country, just imagine, my 150,000 troops are fighting in Anshi City, and they will definitely be able to stop the Tang army outside the city, as long as it is cold in September, the Tang army can not stand the cold in the north, and must withdraw the army, and then it will be the best chance for us to recapture Beisha City, because at that time Beisha City will become a lonely city, without any reinforcements. ”

I have to say that Quan Gai Suwen's idea is indeed good, and in history, Li Er was indeed blocked outside Anshi City until September.

However, he still overestimated the combat power of Gao Yanshou and Gao Huizhen's 150,000 troops, and at the same time was overly optimistic about the future situation, completely ignoring the difference in equipment and Li Er's determination to destroy Goguryeo.

However, the so-called present is different from the past, and with Li Chengqian's participation in the Goguryeo War, it has become very different from history, and the equipment of the Tang army has also been greatly improved, and the tactics and tactics are not as monotonous and old-fashioned as in the past.

Therefore, Liaodong City, which has tens of thousands of troops garrisoned, seems to be like a training ground in Li Ji's view, and it is just a test point for testing the armaments of the Tang Dynasty.
