Not to mention the huge losses in this battle, but to say that the Tang army broke the enemy's blockade for half a month under the command of Li Xian and achieved a great victory, all of them were excited.

"Hehe, the reason why this battle was able to win a big victory is mainly due to the heroic fighting of the princes, my Tang Dynasty iron-blooded man swept the battlefield, and the Tubo thieves wanted to seize my four towns in Anxi and invade Tuyuhun, which is really bold and reckless", Li Xian first affirmed and praised the brave fighting of the Tang army soldiers, but then changed the conversation, and then said: "But I waited too early, after all, the main force of Tubo still exists, and now it is only a defeat in the first battle, morale has declined, and the enemy's main general Zanpo is injured, so he is temporarily unable to launch an attack. We can't wait for him to accumulate strength and attack our camp again, because if General Xue can't come back in time at that time, Xiao Wang is afraid that our army camp will still be in crisis. ”

"What the king said is reasonable", only to hear Tang Xiujing nodded and said: "Now the most important thing for us to guard against is that the Tibetan thieves will make a comeback, and because of the large number of people in Tubo and the strong defense, it is expected that our army will never take the initiative to attack, but the vigilance of our army will not be too strict, so we can't sit back and wait for the thieves to recover, we must strike while the iron is hot and give the enemy a head-on blow." ”

"But the Tibetans are heavily defended and have plenty of soldiers and food, how should we strike while the iron is hot and give it a head-on blow? I don't know what Tang Lvshuai's plan is? Ashina Daozhen actually agreed with what Li Xian said, but he never knew how to break through the defense of the Tubo army, and then strike further at them, after more than ten days of war, he also knew that this Tang Xiujing was resourceful and the most effective commander of the army under Li Xian, so he might have any ideas.

But he didn't expect Tang Xiujing to be speechless, because he didn't think of what specific strategy should be used, so he looked at Li Xian, according to his experience in following Li Xian in the past few years, I believe that since Li Xian proposed this, he must have been confident and came up with some clever plan in advance.

And Ashina Dao really saw Tang Xiujing like this, and suddenly came to his senses, because Li Xian has always been resourceful and decisive, and he has never disappointed, I believe that this time he must have come up with some clever plan.

"I have a plan, we can dig tunnels to sneak into the Tubo camp, take advantage of the night when the wind is high and set fire to the camp, the so-called water and fire are ruthless, as long as the fire is burned, Hugh said that Tubo is only 200,000, that is, Cao Cao's 830,000 army, was also burned by a fire in Chibi, although the climate here is humid, the fire is insufficient, the fire is difficult to grow, it is difficult to cause the desired effect, but I think that the Tubo army will be discouraged again, Zan Po is already injured, hearing this bad news will definitely aggravate the injury, In this way, our army can delay for a little longer, and then take the opportunity to strengthen the camp, which is enough to wait for General Xue's reinforcements to arrive......."

But I heard a general step forward and said: "As for the fire-starting tool, the king doesn't have to worry, the last general has a way, but I don't know the details of the enemy camp, how can I dig the tunnel into the enemy camp?" Even if they were dug up, how could our soldiers pass through the enemy outposts and lead the fire to other camps? Isn't it to dig through all the camps? Even our army has this ability, but it may not be able to accurately dig tunnels to the ideal places. ”

Li Xian saw that the general turned out to be Zheng Jin, and immediately laughed and said: "Zheng Lang will you know, Xiao Wang is born with an ability to identify the direction underground, so he can dig the tunnel to any place in the enemy camp, and as for the details of the enemy camp, it is all in my hands, hehe, the reason why Xiao Wang insisted on pretending to be a messenger last time and went to write to Zan Po is for this reason." However, Zheng Lang said that the fire-igniting tool was very interested. ”

But he saw Zheng Jin arch his hand and said: "The last general has been guarding here for many years, and I learned that there is a thing produced here, which can be used as a tool for igniting fire, this thing is black, can flow, and the shape is like lacquer, so the local name is called stone paint, and because it is easy to cause fierce fire, it is also known as fierce fire oil." ”

"Stone paint? Fierce fire oil? Petroleum? Li Xianyan was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, because the existence of this thing can indeed help him implement his plan perfectly, as long as the operation is good, I believe that the 200,000 Tubo army will be wiped out by himself in one fell swoop, if this is the case, not only will Tubo be greatly damaged in the future, but he will not be able to launch an attack on the Tang Dynasty for at least ten years, and Tuyuhun will no longer be able to restore the country, because among the 200,000 troops, at least 100,000 are composed of Tuyuhun people, and without these 100,000 strong Tuyuhun people, they will not have any self-protection power at all.

"I wonder how much Flame Oil I can get so far?" Li Xian's greatest concern is naturally the quantity of oil, if the quantity is sufficient, his plan can be implemented, and if the quantity is small, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

I only heard Zheng Jin say: "As far as the last general knows, there is a spring in a nearby cave, which spews out fierce fire oil all the year round, although the number is not very large, but a lake has been formed over time, and the nearby people are taking fierce fire oil here for cooking, although the people use a lot, but the last general deduces that there will still be tens of thousands of catties of this fierce fire oil here." ”

"Tens of thousands of catties? Hehe, in fact, where is the use of so much? I believe that as long as there are 2,000 catties of fierce fire oil, it will be enough to burn the tent of the Tibetan camp to ashes, and in this case, without further ado, General Zheng Lang will lead 500 soldiers to get 2,000 gold fierce fire oil from clay pots and other materials, and Xiao Wang will lead 2,000 soldiers to dig tunnels in the Tibetan camp. ”

Li Xian listened to what Zheng Jin said, and was very happy in his heart, and immediately made a decision, asking the two sides to act separately and be sure to complete their respective tasks within one day for the next action.

But it was said that Tang Xiujing was in charge of digging the tunnel with Li Xian, and saw that Li Xian was really able to identify the direction underground, and the tunnel was long and straight, which was amazing, but he saw Li Xian holding a special tool in his hand, which he had only seen once before, and couldn't help but fall into a deep reverie.

"Xiu Jing, what are you thinking, you are so engrossed?" Li Xian, who was on the side, saw Tang Xiujing stunned, hurriedly walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and asked with a smile.

But seeing that Tang Xiujing didn't even raise his head, he said softly: "King, after the last general came to the palace with the king, he occasionally heard the original robe Ze say that the tomb of the martial mourning king outside Yingzhou City seems to have been stolen. ”

Li Xian smiled faintly and said, "I don't know which robe Ze said it?" Hehe, Xiao Wang expected that Xiu Jing didn't listen to what people said, but deduced it himself, right? However, Xiao Wang can tell you that there are indeed people entering the tomb of the King of Wumourning, but they are not tomb robbers, but disciples of the King of Wumourning. ”

Speaking of which, Li Xian no longer smiled, his expression was very solemn, as if he was swearing firmly in front of the elders, this expression made Tang Xiujing's body shake slightly.

I saw Tang Xiujing said lightly: "The last general is not a criminal official, nor is he a Yingzhou Hu Cao, he has no interest in Yingzhou anymore, as for whether the tomb of the king of Wu Mourning is stolen, and who the thief is, he has the current Yingzhou Hu Cao in charge, the last general only knows, the last general is already more than forty, and he has never really been appreciated in this life, and now he finally met Bole, so he naturally has to do his best to repay the kindness of the king's knowledge, not to mention, expelling Yi Di and Anmy Huaxia, it is also the dream of the last general's life, since the last general has this opportunity, How can you let it go so easily? ”

Li Xianyan nodded and praised: "Well said! Xiu Jing can have such a mind, it is really commendable, the eldest husband comes to this world to walk, in fact, there can not be so many taboos, otherwise, life is short, if you are timid, how many major events will be delayed? In ancient times, a philosopher said, no matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat, the one who can catch mice is a good cat, I plan for the world, for my Chinese people for thousands of years, it is to bear the notoriety of thieves and butchers, it doesn't matter. Such a small notoriety is not enough compared to the thousands of dead and wounded soldiers in our army, and compared to the millions of dead people in our country? ”

But seeing Tang Xiujing, he bowed to him and said: "Although the king's deeds are not saints, the merits he makes are difficult for saints to reach, and there will be public opinions in history, I believe that as long as the king is dedicated to the people, history will not let the righteous be wronged through the ages." ”

Seeing this, Li Xian hurriedly helped Tang Xiujing up, and said humbly: "Xiu Jing's words are false, how can Xiao Wang be virtuous?" Dare to be on a par with the sage, Xiao Wang just wants to do what he should do, for the livelihood of my Chinese people for thousands of years, and for my Tang Dynasty, such as Cao Ren of Cao Wei and Gao Changgong, King of Lanling of Qi, that's all. ”

Although Tang Xiujing can be regarded as Li Xian's confidant, but at this time, after all, there is a prince, and it is too shocking to show his ambitions, so Li Xian did not say his deep thoughts, after all, history is destined to be the prince in the future, as long as he is good now, he will definitely exchange for the loyalty of the other party at that time.

At this time, I saw that the general Zhang Yu came to report: "Your lord, the tunnel has been completed, and all the goals are not wrong. ”

Li Xianyan nodded, and together with the soldiers, he came to an exit of a tunnel a few miles outside the Tubo military camp, quietly waiting for Zheng Jin's news.

After about a stick of incense, I saw Zheng Jin leading five hundred soldiers, each carrying a clay pot filled with fierce fire oil, clay pots and the like to come to the front.

"King Qiqi, everything is ready, I will wait for the next move, just wait for the king's order." Zheng Jin held a can of fierce fire oil in his hand and said respectfully to Li Xian.

Li Xian looked at the sky and found that it was nearly three watches, so he said to the soldiers: "The time is almost up, start action immediately, Zhang Yu, you go and inform General Ashina, mention the army to quietly surround the Tubo camp, as long as someone escapes, immediately greet with a bow and crossbow and spear, this time the king will burn Zanpo."
