Zhang Yi promised to delay for a few days to see the battle situation before going back, and Xu Jingzong was relieved.

In fact, all of this was made up by Zhang Yi, and Xu Jingzong didn't want to carry this pot.

Even, if they can defeat Tubo devastatingly, when His Majesty Li Er wants to reward meritorious deeds, he also intends to give the credit to Zhang Yi.

It's really hard to do things with such a guy, it's thrilling, and although he is resourceful, he always likes to take risks.

What's more, Xu Jingzong doesn't want to contact Li Er too much now, and now he understands what it means to be a companion like a tiger.

Especially after doing things with Zhang Yi, I was even more deeply touched.

Li Er obviously didn't trust Zhang Yi, so he wanted to throw the power to Xu Jingzong, but Xu Jingzong didn't have that much ability, he couldn't complete the task, so he would definitely have to be remembered by Li Er, which would not benefit him in the slightest.

So he would rather be a petty official in the court as he did before, and when he is old, he won't come out to make these things up, just live a peaceful life.

can be stable for a lifetime, and can also accumulate a little contacts, so that his children and grandchildren can be covered by his own shadow, but if he comes out to do these big things, if he is not careful, things will be messed up, not to mention that his children and grandchildren will be in his shadow, and he himself will not be able to protect himself!

But for now, he was at ease.

Zhang Yi is a person with ideas, and he is more or less half of his father-in-law, he must not harm himself.

Now they stay at the border and wait to see how the battle goes, and if the war goes well, then they can rush back to Chang'an without a hitch.

If the war doesn't go well, then he and Zhang Yi can stay and think of a way to redeem it, at least they can't let the Tang border army be defeated.

In recent years, the Tubo has been invading the Tang Dynasty, and if the Tang border army is defeated, then the consequences will be very serious, and the expanding Tubo is likely to directly attack the exhausted Tang Empire.

And now Datang Baiye has just flourished and is at the beginning of a prosperous era, if it is dragged into the war, it will not be a good thing for Datang.

After the two made up their minds, they rushed directly to the camp of the Datang border army, their identity was enough for them to enter and leave the barracks freely, and the generals of the Tang Dynasty were willing to Zhang Yi to help them.

The last time Li Jing won the battle against the Turks, Zhang Yi's contribution was not small, although Li Er did not give him any reward in the end, but the people in their army had a very high evaluation of Zhang Yi.

Coupled with the existence of Cheng Chumo and others, Zhang Yi has a high reputation in the military system.

It can be said that even if Zhang Yi puts on his armor now, he will have no opinion on fighting with those generals in all directions.

Well, if he really wants to do that, Li Er will probably not be able to sit still in Chang'an, and he will definitely rush over, and then Zhang Yike will really have a mouth and can't tell, so he won't do it.

And when they arrived at the camp of the Tang Border Army, the Tang Border Army had already launched an attack on Tibet.

Although the Tubo people expected that the Tang army would attack them, they did not expect it to be so sudden, there was no news at all, and when they saw the dense Tang army on the plain, their legs were weak.

The 30,000 Tang troops swept over, and this was only the first batch of Tang troops, and the Tang army sent by Li Er had just arrived now, and they had not had time to enter the battle so quickly.

And now on the border, the number of troops of the Tubo people is less than 10,000, and the difference in numbers between the two sides is too great to fight at all.

It didn't take long for the Tibetan army to be completely defeated, and everyone withdrew to Qingtang, including the Tibetan army from other places, all of them withdrew to Qingtang.

Qingtang is one of the most important cities in Tibet, it is the supply base of the Tibetan army, and it is also one of the most important horse farms, and its strategic position is extremely important, so the Tubo people cannot say anything about losing Qingtang.

All the troops on the Tibetan border are rushing to Qingtang, and no one will be careless at this time.

The Tang army and the Tubo were bound to fight a decisive battle in Qingtang, and this decisive battle directly determined the trend of the war.

The Tang Army, which had been attacking fiercely, suddenly stopped its offensive after hitting Qingtang.

They are waiting, waiting for follow-up reinforcements, and once the reinforcements arrive, they will directly surround Qingtang.

They have to boil it now and see how effective the economic warfare that Zhang Yi and them have been locked up during this time.

Qingtang City, which was defended by more than 20,000 Tibetan troops, would definitely suffer heavy losses if the Tang army attacked it, but if Zhang Yi's economic warfare was effective, it would not be long before the entire Tubo would surrender without a fight.

More than 70,000 Tang troops rushed to Qingtang City one after another, and in the face of the Tang army that was three times his own, the Tubo general silently dispelled the idea of going out to find the Tang army for a decisive battle, and closed the city gate to prepare to defend it strictly.

The Tang army's attack was so sudden that the whole country of Tibet was a little shocked.

The Tang Dynasty has just fought with the Turks, and how long has it been, and it has been able to draw so many troops to fight with them in Tibet.

Fighting a war is not only about numbers, but also about burning money, Datang has to fight so many battles a year, it seems that the Central Plains region is really rich.

Those Tubo people didn't think that they would lose at all, in their eyes, the Tang Empire was already at the end of the crossbow, and it wouldn't last long.

And now they have figured out the number of the Don Army.

However, with 70,000 people, it is difficult to gnaw even Qingtang City.

So the Tibetans began to dream of war.

The major nobles and major lords automatically sent troops to aid the Tibetan army, and all of a sudden, the troops from all over Tibet rushed to Qingtang.

No one knows what the number of these Tibetan armies is, but it is conservatively estimated that it will not be less than 120,000, and if you count those miscellaneous armies in the eyes of the Tang people, I am afraid that it will be more than 150,000.

This is twice as much as the Don Army!

Moreover, the Tubo people have the advantage of geographical advantages, and they are almost invincible, and they have never been afraid of these Tang troops at all.

In their opinion, a big victory was soon in their hands.

And wars are often accompanied by reparations, and the losers must be compensated accordingly to the victors.

If the Tibetans can get this compensation, then their national strength will be stronger, and the Tang Empire is just the opposite, they are already in trouble, if they want to pay a compensation to the Tibetans, then they will definitely not be able to stand it.

At this time, the king of Tubo was already dreaming of becoming a hegemon, no, even the overlord of the world!

But what they didn't expect, it's about to happen!
