How would Lai Xing'er know that at the same time that he led the sergeant to Wangwushan to arrest Li Shu, the king of Ying, his brother-in-law Luo San'er was facing an extremely tragic test of life and death.

From the stunned mountain village man who attacked Fu Yi and Lai Xing'er outside Hezhong City more than two years ago, to being transferred to Qingning Palace by Empress Zhang in Jingfu and becoming a forbidden army; From an ordinary sergeant to a six-rank prison military captain step by step, and gradually became the most effective assistant by Furong's side, Luo San'er has had a smooth life in the past two years, and it can even be described as a spring breeze.

Although at the time of the death of the first emperor, Empress Zhang, who had many advantages in the court and the palace, was unexpectedly defeated in the hands of Li Jinzhong, so that Luo San'er was also forced to follow Furong to hide in Tibet, and became a "black man" who did not dare to appear in public, but there was Zhang Liang outside, who had established a firm foothold in Tubo, and Furong presided over and planned, and repeatedly stabbed in the palace.

As the days passed, seeing that the fight back to Daming Palace gradually came to naught, the general became unexpected. Recalling that day, in the Golden Immortal View in Duliu Lane, Furong personally handed over to him a waist card engraved with the words "Zhengwupin Shenhe Army Zuo Junlang will Luo Yuanqi", and even obeyed Furong's order, left Chang'an, and arrived at the camp of the Shenhe Army in Jingzhou, Luo San'er was in a trance all day long, and couldn't believe that all this was true.

Luo San'er has one of the biggest strengths, that is, he is sincere, but whenever Furong confesses to the messenger, he will not ask whether it is right or wrong, and work hard to do it well. Since Furong specially confessed that he wanted him to take the left army of the Divine Crane Army into his own hands as soon as possible, as soon as Luo San'er met with Yu Chengen, Xiang Zhifei, Wang Huaizhen and other bosses and came to the left army, he quickly entered the role in his own way.

After sending away the officials who accompanied him to the left military camp of the Shenhe Army, Luo San'er, oh, from now on, we should call him General Luo Yuanqi Luo.

It turned out that when Luo Yuanqi was a lieutenant in the Qingning Palace Prison Army, he was enlightened by his boss at that time, and accumulated valuable experience in judging heroes by the amount of alcohol and talking about combat power by alcohol. Now, under the arrangement of Furong, Luo San'er, the captain of the prison gate military academy, has turned into a commander of the five thousand elite Shenhe Army, Luo Yuanqi, the left army general, then, in order to complete the mission assigned by Fu Rong, Luo Yuanqi will naturally rely on the experience he has gained in the prison gate army for more than two years, and use the method of alcohol to try to take the ten captains with the troops in his own hands first.

These ten captains with troops can all be called good hands when it comes to marching and fighting, but once they are summoned by their immediate superiors who have just taken office, they drink wine from glass to glass, but none of them are the opponents of General Luo. Within two hours, these fierce and brave captains were all knocked to the ground by Luo Yuanqi one by one, and they were hearty.

Don't say it, Luo Yuanqi's move has received obvious results in the first month or so. The ten Shenhe military captains under him quickly became his good brothers in the wine field, and everyone mentioned the new Zuo Junlang General General Luo Yuanqi, and there was no one who did not praise him: General Luo loved the army and loved the soldiers, and he deserved to be a good general from the forbidden army.

However, the good times did not last long, because Yu Chengen, the actual supreme commander of the Shenhe Army, had a ghost in his heart, and Luo Yuanqi was only one month after he took office, and he was led by General Yu Chengen and sent 5,000 men and horses of the left army to the forefront of the battle against Tubo - Shanzhou.

Shanzhou, if you talk about its geographical location, it is connected with Liangzhou in the south, Turkic in the north, and Tubo in the west, which is a genuine northwest borderland. In recent years, the Xingsuchuan Pass under the rule of Shanzhou has become the main breakthrough point for the invasion of the Tibetan army.

After Luo Yuanqi led his army to Shanzhou to garrison, he immediately led 100 of his own soldiers to explore the terrain near the Xingsuchuan Pass on the same day, and selected the sand castle ten miles away from the pass as the focus of his defense.

The sand castle was originally the garrison of the Tianwei Army of the Northwest Autumn Defense Army, and according to the fixed number of posts issued by the imperial court to the troops of Longyou Dao, the Tianwei Army had a total of 3,600 sergeants. It should be more than enough to defend a pass with more than 3,000 troops, but due to the needs of Hebei and Hedong to quell the rebellion, as early as five or six years ago, this border army was all transferred away from destroying sand castles. After the transfer of the Tianwei army, due to the repeated breakthroughs of the Tubo army, the envoys of Longyou Jiedu and the Yamen of Shanzhou were recruited in many ways, and less than 500 local people were recruited as border troops and re-stationed in the sand castle as the first line of defense against the invasion of Tubo.

Na Yu and Lai Xing'er returned to Chang'an from Luoqi City more than two months ago, and fell into a horse trap when they forcibly broke through the pass, and they were caught by this old and weak army. Although their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the Tibetan army, because they were all locals from the captains leading the troops to the ordinary soldiers, they were particularly familiar with the terrain around the sand castle, so in the process of dozens of battles with the Tibetan army, this temporarily recruited grandson army was not completely annihilated, but repeatedly broke into pieces, and successfully attacked the Tibetan army, posing a great threat to the Tibetan army.

Luo Yuanqi joined the army for nearly three years, and was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the commander of the first army, except for the only palace mutiny he led with Zhang Liang a few months ago (if this can also be called a battle), he has never been on the battlefield. Nevertheless, this did not hinder General Luo's high fighting spirit and confidence in winning against the enemy outside the country.

After some on-site investigation, Luo Yuanqi decided to personally lead his army into the Sand Castle and take the lead in preparing for an attack that the Tibetans might launch at any time. The Shanzhou assassin envoy who came with him to investigate tried to no avail, so he had to ask Luo Yuanqi to allocate half of his troops from his command to garrison Shanzhou City, temporarily as a backup for the garrison of Sand Castle, and at the same time to prevent the Turks in the north from joining forces with Tibet to launch an invasion from the west and north at the same time.

Luo Yuanqi pondered for a long time, and Fang reluctantly agreed to assign two infantry teams, a crossbow team and a light cavalry team in the left army to the Shanzhou assassin envoy and stay in the state city to station. As for himself, he led a total of 3,000 elites composed of a strong crossbow team, two heavy cavalry teams, a Modao infantry team, a jumping team, a scout, and a supply team to enter the sand castle overnight, and drove all the original four or five hundred grandson troops in the fort to the pass to guard it.
