Finally arrived in Liangzhou City, Li Shan couldn't ride a horse because of an injury on his buttocks, so he could only sit on a rattan chair and be carried by the soldiers.

There were already people at the city gate to greet them, and when they arrived at the city gate, a civil official greeted them.

"Xia Guan is the master of General Li Jingxuan of the Liangzhou Army, and he is here to greet you. My lord has a long journey, can I take you to the barracks to settle down first? The army has prepared wine and food for all military masters to pick up the wind and wash the dust. ”

These matters will be handed over by Xue Wei, and the most important thing for Li Shanlai here is to discuss the matter of thunder with Li Jingxuan. The emperor specially issued an edict to test the actual combat power of the thunderbolt, but because it was difficult to make the thunderstorm in a hurry, he had to let Li Shan come to Liangzhou to adapt to the local conditions and use it now.

The Tang Dynasty had no choice but to draw these forces because the Turks were pinning it down in the north and the Silla side of the Bohai Sea needed support.

The Tibetan side seems to be quite conservative about this battle, and did not go all out at the beginning, and seems to be waiting and seeing.

"Master, please send someone to take me to General Li, I have the emperor's will to convey."

When the master heard the emperor's will, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to lead Li Shan, "My lord, the general is in the mansion now, and I will send someone to take you there." ”

Liangzhou, no better than Jingzhou or Chang'an, belongs to the frontier defense, and is at war with Tubo all year round. First, there is a permanent army in Liangzhou, and secondly, the highest official in Liangzhou is not a assassin but a general. Li Jingxuan is not only the highest military officer in Liangzhou, but also the highest administrator of Liangzhou.

In fact, this method often restricts the development of border towns, and often can only become a wall to defend against other places, and the economic development is slow. Fortunately, Liangzhou belongs to the Hexi Corridor, located in the eastern section of the Silk Road, and there are countless merchants coming and going, but it is also prosperous. But as soon as the war begins, it is inevitable that lives will be ruined.

It was precisely because of the superior geographical location of the Hexi Corridor that Tubo always wanted to go to war with the Tang Dynasty. Seize the rich land of the Hexi Corridor. For this area of the Hexi Corridor, it is like a salted fish next to the cat's pillow, it is impossible for you to let him sleep peacefully, and he will come and bite when he has the opportunity.

"Haha, come, general, I'll toast you again, and in a few days, the general will be able to wave his army west to recover the city and repel the Tibetan barbarians. This is a great achievement, presumably the emperor will definitely reward the general heavily. ”

As soon as Li Shan came to Liangzhou City, he heard the sound of drinking and playing the piano inside.

There are three ways to send reinforcements this time, and Li Shan's road is the slowest because the distance is relatively far. There were also two ways that did not go to Chang'an to gather, but came directly to Liangzhou. Together with the defenders of Liangzhou, there were nearly 100,000 people in total.

Although Tubo has been planning for a long time this time. However, the number of Tibetans is limited, and the number of troops is only seventy or eighty thousand, not to mention that they are the besieging side, and they cannot be attacked at all without an advantage in numbers. With the 40,000 resident soldiers of Liangzhou City before, the city was already safe, and after this gathering of troops, it was natural to counterattack.

"General Li, the subordinate Li Shan is a supervisor sent by the emperor, mainly to test a new type of weapon. This is the emperor's edict, please take a look at it. ”

Li Shan explained the purpose of coming clearly, and Li Jingxuan looked at the emperor's edict. Didn't speak for a long time.

"Okay, since it is the emperor's order, we as courtiers naturally have to do our best to carry it out. What does Li Jianjun want, and what does he need Huang to help with. You just open your mouth. Today is the day when the reinforcements will gather, and I will have a happy fight with the Tibetan barbarians after two days of rest, and I have been in the city these days and am about to suffocate Lao Tzu to death. ”

Li Jingxuan laughed, picked up the wine glass and handed it to Li Eel.

It seems that this time it will really go well. Li Jingxuan is also very happy, Li Shan is naturally happy, if he can complete the task and return to Chang'an, it will naturally be great.

Back in Chang'an, Li Shan had to go to Luzhou again. He didn't worry about Long Xueling. Hey, it's really tiring to be a man, and it's even more tiring to be a man with a lot of women, Li Shan thought sullenly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The other reinforcement commanders also said hello to Li Shan, and they also led the army to help in the battle, but because Li Shan was a supervisor sent by the emperor on behalf of the emperor, his status was naturally higher, so these people also respected Li Shan.

When Li Shan left the General's Mansion, he met the master who had returned from the barracks, and the master had already arranged the Chang'an army.

"General, what's the origin of this Lord Li?"

The master entered the mansion and looked at Li Jingxuan's face was not very good-looking, and felt that it should have something to do with Li Shan, so he asked cautiously.

"Hmph, the person sent by the emperor said it nicely, what is it called. The edict said that he had researched a very powerful weapon to be used in this battle with Tibet, and I saw that he looked like a scholar, and I couldn't say which way he was. As soon as Li Shan left the General's Mansion, Li Jingxuan's face changed, don't look at this guy's arrogant and open-minded appearance on the surface, but he is actually a reckless man who is very happy with his achievements, and he is afraid that people will steal his limelight, and he is very hostile to Li Shan, the overseer from Chang'an.

The master naturally knew Li Jingxuan's thoughts: "General, isn't it the son of the royal prince who sent him here to make credit?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Jingxuan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the credit.

"You see, although Tubo dared to invade our border pass this time, but now that our country is strong, Tubo will definitely suffer a lot this time. I heard that the reason for this Tibetan invasion was that some people in the court tried in vain to assassinate the emperor and overthrow the Tang Dynasty. However, the emperor has been prepared for a long time, and now that all the internal rioters have been executed, Tubo will naturally be self-defeating. Those who have already had the news must know that this fight against Tibet is fat falling from the sky. Originally, the general could enjoy this credit alone, but now a prison army has come inexplicably, and he said that he has prepared new weapons. Then when he returned to the court, he could say that his new weapon played a key role in the battle, and it was only by deterring the enemy army that he won a complete victory, so the first merit of repelling the Tubo was not to be taken up by this kid. ”

Master, it's for the general, but this master's imagination is really rich, and he can think of this kind of thing. However, Li Jingxuan trusts this master very much, and the master's words speak to his heart.

"So what do you think I'm going to do? This kid must not be allowed to take the credit. ”

"In my opinion, the reinforcements have converged = Qi. At present, the strength of our army is stronger than that of the other side, and the Tibetan army does not yet know that the reinforcements of our army have arrived. Today, he came to the city to scold, and the spies also came to report that the military camp of Tubo had been stationed on the slope of a hill ten miles away from Liangzhou, and as long as the general's whole army attacked in two days, and the Tubo people were caught off guard, they would definitely be able to win a great victory. Until then, we'll drag it out and don't give him a chance to make weapons. We can defeat the Tibetan army without his weapons, won't that kid have nothing to say when the time comes? ”

The master felt that his plan was very good, and he was secretly proud.

Li Jingxuan originally felt that the Tubo army had nothing to fear, and when the master said this, he had the heart to fight. slapped the table and said, "Okay, then I will send troops tomorrow and fight to the death with the Tibetan barbarians." ”

The real history is still more cruel. If you want to be cruel and romantic at the same time, it is too detached from reality. It's really tangled. Ladies and gentlemen, you can give some advice!
