Hearing the bad news, all the soldiers in the Tibetan army were furious and asked Garqinling to immediately send troops to fight back, but Garqinling thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This matter is not appropriate. Since Tang Man was able to burn the gourd valley and bury the lives of my 10,000 troops, he would definitely be able to calculate that our army would retaliate, so he must have prepared in advance, if I go to kill him, I will definitely suffer from the Tang army's ambush, if I send less troops, it will be equivalent to death, and if I send more troops, it will not work, because I believe that at this time, this group of Tang Barbarians must have made contact with Xue Rengui, as long as I send more troops, Xue Rengui will definitely go out of the city to attack the generals and soldiers of our battalion, and it will be difficult for our army to take care of it at that time, and it will be even more difficult. Besides, our army still doesn't know where that group of Tang troops is? Who is the leading general, and how can he send troops without authorization? ”

The soldiers suddenly sighed when they heard this, they listened to the words of the Garqin Tomb, and they all knew that the Galqin Tomb was thoughtful, and they were immediately convinced, but they were really unwilling to lose 10,000 troops in vain, so there was a strong unwillingness in their eyes.

In fact, how can the Garqin Mausoleum be willing? His fourth brother was killed, none of the 10,000 troops survived, and it is possible that his third brother and the 200,000 troops under his command were also wiped out, how deep should this hatred be? But the more this is the case, the more he can't move, as a generation of famous generals, he must first keep calm, he must figure out what kind of strength the new Tang Army has? Who will be its master? What are your personality traits? What are the strengths and weaknesses? Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can it be possible to defeat the other party, and to fight a war without knowing everything, the result can only be a certain defeat.

Therefore, Garqinling decided to send spies to listen to the reality of the Tang army before making a decision, but to his surprise, he sent more than a dozen waves of spies in one day, but none of them came back to report the news, and he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.

And it turned out that Garqinling's worries were not superfluous, and the next day, after he sent the master of Jalan Sa Temple (that is, later Jokhang Temple) to inquire about the news, he finally got the news that the dozen waves of spies he sent before and after were all killed, and it was a young master who killed them, whether it was light skills or martial arts, he was higher than these masters of Jalan Sa Temple, and even the master of Jalan Sa Temple who came back was killed in three companions. I was also injured a lot of injuries before I barely managed to escape.

However, to Garqinling's regret, apart from knowing the location of the Tang army's camp, he didn't know anything about the Tang army's other conditions.

"I really didn't expect the famous generals of the Tang Army to be so terrible, so tightly blocking the news, their intentions can be imagined, if we want to know the details, unless we send a large army, but if we really send troops, I am afraid that they will fall into its trap. I believe that it will not be long before the Tang Army will take the initiative to attack us, and at that time, it will not be too late for us to attack again. ”

Garqinling is definitely a general who knows how to forbear, and his countermeasures are also the most appropriate, but it is a pity that his opponent Li Xian took advantage of his caution and forbearance, taking advantage of the precious opportunity of Garqinling's forbearance and immobility, rushing to repair the camp, and even the camp was built as stable as a rock, coupled with its unique terrain, even if the Garqinling sent 100,000 troops, it was not easy to capture it.

If Garchinling knew that he had missed the only chance to turn the tables in this war, I don't know what kind of complicated feelings would it be?

And the fact is as expected by the Garqin Mausoleum, at this time Li Xian did get in touch with Xue Rengui, he learned that Xue Rengui was able to capture Wuhai was actually a trap of the Garqin Mausoleum, it turned out that this Garqin Mausoleum had long expected Xue Rengui to come such a hand, so he deliberately let Xue Rengui win a big victory, sacrificing thousands of troops, more than 10,000 cattle and sheep in exchange for Xue Rengui to attack Wuhai, and then divide the troops to attack Xue Rengui's garrison of Wuhai City and the Tang Army's baggage camp stationed in Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui after learning of the conspiracy of the Garqin Mausoleum, At one time, he once wanted to abandon Wuhai and return to Dafeichuan.

However, at this time, he got the news of the arrival of the Tang Dynasty's reinforcements, and learned through Zhang Wuchen, the general of Li Xian's subordinates who came to get in touch with him, that Li Xian actually broke 200,000 Tibetan troops, and burned the 200,000 troops to ashes with a fire.

"Hehe, this time the king used fire twice, it can be said that he has created a miracle, and it can definitely go down in history like the burning of Chibi and the battle of Yaoting. In this way, the tide of the war is reversed, and my Datang can definitely recover the four towns of Anxi, and take the opportunity to take Tugu Hun under his rule, and it is not the kind of fettering rule, Li Gong really didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, but the king is so credited, will the story of Xuanwumen be staged? And if you think about it more deeply, if there really is a character like Tang Taizong in the Tang Dynasty, it can't be regarded as a bad thing, at least it's many times stronger than the weak Jinshang......"

After thinking of this, Xue Rengui suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore, so he could only decide to put this matter down and think about it later, anyway, the emperor was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, the generals in the court and the central government were all loyal, and the king of Zhou was filial piety, and there would definitely be no such thing as the Xuanwumen change in a short period of time.

After thinking about it for a while, Xue Rengui wrote a letter to Li Xian, suggesting that Li Xian not take the initiative to attack, but just stick to the camp, and Wuhai City are horns of each other, Tubo attacks Wuhai, Li Xian attacks his camp, Tubo attacks Li Xian, Xue Rengui attacks his camp, I believe that Garqinling will not be able to please him, but will waste grain and grass here, and finally have no choice but to retreat.

Xue Rengui's thoughts coincided with Li Xian, they knew that with the strong strength of the Garqin Tomb, even if Li Xian and Xue Rengui were flanked by the back, they might not be able to win, and even if they win, they would definitely suffer heavy losses, so the best way was to hold on to the attack and force the Garqin Tomb to retreat.

And Garqinling actually knew Tang Jun's calculations, but he knew that he didn't have any way to crack it, because whether it was Xue Rengui or Li Xian's mysterious guy, they were obviously not short-minded, and he had no way to induce the other party to take the initiative to attack, as long as the other party was all stubborn, he had no countermeasures at all.

In addition, the biggest trouble caused by Li Xianheng in the rear of the Tubo army was that the grain route of the Tubo army was cut off from then on, because the location of the Tang army's barracks was a necessary place for the Tubo grain transporters, and as long as the Tubo army's grain transporters wanted to transport grain, they would definitely be plundered by Li Xian's army. As a result, it has become impossible for the Garqin Mausoleum to confront each other. Because once the grain and grass are cut off, it is a strong iron and steel master, and it will definitely collapse without a fight.

Therefore, after careful consideration for several days, the Garqin Mausoleum could only decide to withdraw from the army.

"Pass my general order, gather the three armies, and retreat immediately." For Li Xian, Garqinling was as disgusting as eating a fly, but he knew that he was powerless to clean up the other party now, so he had to endure the nausea in his heart and ordered the three armies to retreat and abandon the upcoming Tuyuhun.

"Huh? General, I waited so hard to achieve today's results, how did I give up like this? Once abandoned, the last general is afraid that decades of planning for the Western Regions, once turned into flowing water, so the last general is brave, please the general must not give up, the king only needs to divide our army into two parts, one part is led by the general, to guard against the Tang army in Wuhai, and the other part is led by the last general, attacking the Tang army's baggage camp, I believe that as long as I give me 100,000 troops, I will definitely capture the Tang army of the baggage camp within a month, if it can't be successful, the last general is willing to dedicate the head to the account. ”

Su Hegui saw that Garqinling wanted to give up, and he was immediately shocked, and he didn't care about the etiquette in a hurry, so he grabbed Garqinling's sleeve robe and said loudly.

But seeing Garqinling, he sighed and said slowly: "General Su underestimated the Tang army in the baggage camp too much, and my third brother led an army of 200,000 to attack his camp, what was the result?" My third brother's strength is more than your 100,000 army, and when it comes to the art of attacking cities and conquering land, my third brother is also stronger than you. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the general captures the Tang army camp, I still try my best to hold the attack of Xue Rengui's army, our army will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and now I Tubo has raised the strength of the whole country with these 200,000 troops, if the losses are too much, what strength can be further expanded? Although the Tang army was defeated, it was able to gather forces again, and in this way, it was doomed to the defeat of our army. Therefore, in my opinion, it is better for our army to preserve its strength, return to China for the time being, and then take advantage of the gap to attack the Western Regions in the future. ”

"This, this...... I have been planning hard for many years, originally thinking of exchanging the land of Tuyuhun for a lifetime of wealth, and at the same time using his own prestige to take charge of Tuyuhun and realize his lifelong wish, who knew that this move was abandoned halfway, destroyed in the hands of a little-known Tang general, burned our army twice, and the soldiers lost 210,000, such a crazy move is the famous general of the ancients, and how many people can do it? Could it be that God blesses the Tang Dynasty, and my plan is destined to fail? Although Su Hegui was full of unwillingness, what Garqinling said was also very reasonable, so he had to sigh deeply and reluctantly carry out the order.

And not long after the Garqin Mausoleum issued the order to retreat, someone reported the news to Li Xian, Li Xian did not have the slightest surprise after hearing it, but said with a smile: "Garqin Ling is worthy of being a contemporary famous general, and he can make the most appropriate choice at any time, but I have taken the lead, you are Zhuge Reborn, and this time you can only suffer one more failure."
