Chapter 515: Marching into Tibet
Li Yu roared and scolded: "I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I am your master, you slaves dare to insult me, I must report to my father that the emperor killed your whole family." ”
Xue Rengui snorted coldly and said, "In my eyes, there is no prince, only soldiers!" A soldier's vocation is obedience! Obey! Obey again! Also, Li Su's status as a prince should not be your pride, but should be your responsibility.
You should do something that is in line with your status as a prince, not discredit the royal family. Let me tell you again, here are all warriors who fought bloodily to defend the Tang Dynasty, they are not anyone's minions, and no one can insult them! Today you must apologize for your words and deeds, or I will have to enforce military law! ”
Li Su saw that Xue Ren's face was like frost, and he really pulled out the sword, and he couldn't speak for a long time. In the end, it took a while to say sorry like a mosquito calling.
Xue Rengui didn't say much when he saw his statement, and let him start a day's training with the team.
Gao Kan secretly pulled Li Su aside, took a suit of clothes and helped him put them on in person, saying, "How dare you provoke this guy." He is known as the second demon king of the mixed world with us, and no one dares to provoke him except you. ”
Li Su got dressed and listened to Gao Kan's words: "The second demon king of the mixed world? I'm still called the Demon King of the Mixed World in Chang'an? What kind of demon king will he be a little Zhonglang? ”
"You can't underestimate him, this person is called Xue Li Xue Rengui, and he is the successor personally selected by the Great Demon County King. Moreover, this person has outstanding martial arts, and he picked more than 30 generals of Mengwei Zhao and Yue Xi Zhao outside Yizhou City, and later killed the leaders of the two tribes and the leader of the Pao Lao Association with three arrows. Praised by the king of the Great Demon County: The general has three arrows to edict the barbarian, and the warrior has a long song into Yunnan! ”
Li Su exclaimed: "He is Xue Li Xue Rengui of the Three Arrows Edict? I heard that he is a graduate of the military academy, and he is only nineteen years old this year, isn't he? ”
Gao Kan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Yes, it's really this Xue Li Xie Rengui!" ”
"This Xue Li is really famous in our Chang'an, and it was indeed my rudeness just now. How soon is this going to be good? ”
Gao Kan said: "You! Don't think about it so much, just train well. ”
"Well, well, I'm going to train well. Thank you so much, who are you? I want to worship General Xue Li as a teacher, I don't know if you can help? ”
"My name is Gao Kan, and I am a classmate of Xue Li. I can help you ask about apprenticeship, but whether it succeeds depends on your performance. ”
"What are you rubbing again? Hurry back to training. Xue Li's loud voice sounded again, and Li Su agreed and quickly caught up with the team.
As a result, within half a day at the beginning, Li Su couldn't hold on, and there were a lot of blisters on his hands and feet, and he limped and screamed bitterly.
Taking advantage of the break in the middle, Gao Kan came over again, took off his shoes, gently punctured the blisters with a needle, and then bandaged them with good medicine; He said to the depressed Li Su: "You did well today, although he kept scolding you just now, but he praised you in private, I think you continue to persist like this, most of the things of apprenticeship are games." ”
When Li Su heard this, he came to his senses again: "Really? That's great, I'm going to do a good job. ”
At the end of this day, Li Su was so tired that he almost took off a few layers of skin, and after blowing the meal, he fell asleep on the bed.
Gao Kan watched Xue Li gently come out of Li Su's room, stepped forward and smiled, "How is it?" Is this kid okay? ”
Xue Rengui snorted coldly and said, "A gentleman, if you really recruit soldiers, you can't let him in." ”
Gao Kan smiled: "You! It's just a hard mouth, how old is he? 11 years old! That's not bad. People are your admirers, and they always seem to worship you as a teacher? ”
Xue Li smiled: "Want to worship me as a teacher? We'll have to see if he can endure the hardships. I'll try to give him a little more tomorrow. ”
Gao Kan jumped down and said, "Xue Li, don't come randomly!" After all, Li Su is the prince, and even the demon king has to give three points; You don't want to make things happen that there's no way to end it. ”
Xue Li smiled: "Don't worry! I'm measured. Gao Kan, you have to pay attention, this guy has a bad influence on our soldiers, and in the words of the king of the county, the three views are not correct, you have to teach him a good lesson. ”
Gao Kanshen couldn't help nodding his head, so Li Su was taken away by Gao Kan again in his spare time for training, and Xue Li liked this and didn't like that, which instilled a lot of outlook on life and values in Li Su.
After about half a year, the current Li Su is like a little tiger, full of fierce aura, and the occasional evil light in his eyes makes people shudder.
Now Li Su has become the commander of the army, and his subordinates have five or six people as Xue Rengui's personal guards. Today it was their turn to rest, Li Su loved hunting, and was about to take his men to go on a safari to slow down his taste, when he suddenly received a notice that the army had entered a state of battle and was on emergency alert.
Li Su's eyes flashed and said, "Hurry, hurry up and prepare, this is going to war!" His grandmother's Lao Tzu suffered for half a year, and it was finally time to open the meat. ”
The soldiers under his command are the best of the best, and each one of them is worthy of the skills of a general. Hearing Li Su say this, he also jumped up, and ran back to his big tent to prepare without resting.
At this time, Cheng Zhijie had already arrived in the barracks, and Xue Li, Gao Kan, Heiya Changzhi, Wang Yizhang and others were also in place.
Cheng Zhijie pointed to the map and said, "Everyone, it is reported that there is currently a large-scale slave rebellion in Tibet. Abandoning the sect and raising praise is mobilizing a large army to encircle and suppress, and the two sides are inseparable. The conditions are ripe for us to attack Tibet.
At present, Hou Junji and Liu Lan have set off from Xituguhun, and Niutong has also set off from Songzhou, while we only bring a small number of elites, each carrying 100 catties of supplies on their backs, forcibly crossing the big grassland and snow-capped mountains, and unexpectedly raiding some cities to capture the abandoned Zong Langzan alive. ”
Xue Li and the others listened to it and said, "Okay! Please give the order of the county king, and we will definitely complete the task. ”
Cheng Zhizhi nodded and said, "Xue Li, how is Li Su doing?" ”
Xue Li said: "King Qiyu, Li Su's performance has been very good during this period of time, and it can even be said that he is very good. Although because of the small grade, the physical fitness cannot reach the level of ordinary soldiers; However, his psychology is enough to qualify as an elite soldier; And this kid has bad water in his stomach, and whoever is not careful will have to suffer his loss. ”
Cheng Zhijie praised it and said, "In this case, let him follow him on this expedition." I take care of him when he is young and can relieve him of the burden. Let him also feel the atmosphere of the big war. ”
Xue Li and Gao Kan were both stunned and said, "King Jun, is this a little bit of a sprout?" No matter how mature Li Su is, he is still just a child, and even His Majesty only went to the battlefield at the age of 17. ”
"So I just let him feel the atmosphere of the battlefield! There are so many of us who can't take his turn to fight. The young eagle will never be able to spread its wings and soar without experiencing wind and rain. Just let him go out and break through! ”
Xue Li and Gao Kan didn't say much at this time, and began to gather people and horses to prepare for the expedition. Groups of men and horses were named, and then went to the quartermaster's place to collect supplies and prepare for departure. Seeing more and more people leaving, Li Su's heart was slowly sinking.
Seeing that the required number of people was about to arrive, and there was still no news from them, Li Su couldn't sit still anymore, so he had to go to Xue Rengui to apply.
As soon as he stood up, he listened to the officer who was named, and then said slowly: "Li Su! ”
Li was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with joy: "Yes! Am I here? Then he stood up excitedly and said to a few of his subordinates: "Brothers, I will go first and wait for you at the quartermaster's office." ”
These people originally thought that there was nothing to do with this operation, but they were in frustration, when they suddenly heard Li Su's name, and they couldn't help themselves excitedly, and they hurriedly agreed.
In this way, Cheng Zhi selected 5,000 elites, all of whom except Li Su carried more than 100 catties of materials on their backs, and set off from Nanzhao to Tubo.
The first to fight with Tibet was Hou Junji's troops. Cheng Zhijie ordered Hou Junji to be the general manager of the march of Luosa Road, and Liu Lan to be the deputy leader of 50,000 troops to attack Tubo from West Tuyuhun.
Hou Junji was very dissatisfied with his restraint by Cheng Zhijie. I vowed to make a little bit of a difference to prove myself. So after receiving the order, he personally led an army of 30,000 to slaughter the Tibetan army for the front. At the same time, Liu Lan was ordered to lead an army of 20,000 to escort the baggage, and then follow up.
In the direction of West Tuyuhun, it was the famous Tubo general Chi Duoji Zun Jie Bo who led the troops to resist. The veteran general was resourceful, and although he had the advantage in troops, he still slowly retreated and led the Tang army deeper and deeper.
Hou Junji fought and won successes, advancing by leaps and bounds all the way, and soon reached the depths of Tubo, Dafeichuan. He and Liu Lan, who was escorting grain and grass behind, had already distanced themselves. Hou Junji also wanted to take advantage of the enemy's instability and take Wuhai, an important city in Tibet.
Guo Shifeng, who joined the army, suggested: "Chief, we have gone deep into the interior of Tibet, and the grain and grass are not continuous. The Tibetan general Chi Duoji Zun Jiebo is also a veteran who can fight habitually, this person is resourceful, ranking third among the seven sages of Tubo; Beware of the enemy cutting off our food routes! ”
Hou Junji nodded and said: "Guo Senjun's words are reasonable, I will send someone to inform Liu Lan to be careful and not fall into the enemy's ambush." However, Wuhai is dangerous and miasma, and I am in the place of death, which can be described as a dangerous road; However, if you are fast, you will be meritorious, and if you are late, you will be defeated. Today, the big non-ridge is wide and flat, can be placed in the two gates, the weight of the inside, leaving 10,000 people to guard it, I double the road to cover the thief is not tidy, and it will be destroyed. ”
Guo Shifeng thought it was reasonable to voluntarily lead 10,000 horses to camp on the Dafei Ridge to guard the back road. Hou Junji led the rest of the troops and continued to rush towards Wuhai.
After Hou Junji made the arrangement, he led his troops to Wuhai, and to the mouth of the river, where he encountered tens of thousands of Tubo defenders, Hou Junji took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, led the army to rush and kill, and was killed. The Tang army collected more than 10,000 cattle and sheep, marched westward, and approached Wuhai City.
