Li Xian's battle can really be described as a complete victory, and it can even be said to have created a miracle. With more than 10,000 weak brigades against 200,000 troops, not only did they inflict most of the enemy's casualties with almost negligible losses, but also made none of the enemy's generals at all levels below the rank of Tsampa be able to flee!

Of course, some of the soldiers chose to surrender, and Li Xian did not kill all the soldiers like those soldiers led by Zanpo, but left 5,000 soldiers from Tuyuhun, which can be regarded as a face for King Tuyuhun and his wife, Princess Honghua of the Tang Dynasty, who want to restore the country.

Not to mention the depressed mood of Murong Nuo, the king of Tuyuhun, when he saw that Tuyuhun, who originally had hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers, was now only left with these 5,000 soldiers, and wrote to Gaozong to give up the restoration of the country, and was willing to turn Tuyuhun's hometown into a state and county ruled by the Tang Dynasty, just saying that Li Xian burned the Tubo camp with more than 10,000 troops this time, breaking its 200,000 army, not only relieving the siege of Dafeichuan, but also being able to help Xue Rengui's army who was fighting in Wuhai to relieve the urgent need, and his prestige in the army has reached a new height, and since then he has become famous all over the Western Regions. The generals and soldiers in the army all admit that he is a new generation of Tang Dynasty military gods, even if he is not inferior to Xue Rengui at all.

However, Li Xian's ruthlessness was also spread everywhere in the Western Regions, which caused those tribes who were originally eager to move on to the Tang Dynasty to no longer dare to mess around, for fear that they would end up in ashes like the 200,000 army led by Zanpo.

And among those tribes and generals who are a little ready to move the Tang Dynasty, there is Ashina Daozhen. But after fighting this big battle with Li Xian, Ashina Daozhen no longer dared to have any thoughts, he thought that his talent was not as good as Zanpo, and the army that the Turks could gather and assemble could not reach 200,000, and now even such a powerful Zanpo had such an end, if he dared to think about it, he expected that the future fate would not even be as good as Zanpo.

Therefore, from then on, Ashina was true and well-behaved, completely loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and never thought of rebelling against the Tang Dynasty throughout his life, and if anyone proposed to him to go against Li Xian, he could always think of the charred corpse in the Tubo military camp in Dafeichuan and the Zanpo who was killed alive, so that he no longer dared to raise a trace of courage to go against Li Xian.

In addition, there were originally some people in the Tang army who were deeply dissatisfied with Li Xian's forcible seizure of military power in Guo Beifeng's hands, thinking that Li Xianzhi's talent was not as good as Guo Beifeng's, and there was no way to guarantee the victory of the Tang army, but after this battle, they really felt that Li Xian's judgment of the movement of the Tubo army was very accurate, and now he can lead more than 10,000 people to break through 200,000 enemy troops.

Therefore, all the soldiers admired Li Xian so much, and they can now be said to respect Li Xian like a god, even if they let Li Xian let them go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, they will definitely not have any hesitation.

That's the power of trust! As long as a person gains the trust of others, no matter what you do, he will think that you are right, and vice versa, even if you do well, he will doubt.

After Li Xian returned to the camp, he immediately received the heartfelt respect and worship of all the soldiers, but Li Xian obviously did not care about these formal things, he only nodded to all the soldiers slightly, signaled them to excuse themselves, and then summoned the generals to his big tent to discuss matters.

Everyone's movements are surprisingly fast, and all of them are all in less than a cup of tea, and after all the generals arrive today, they don't joke with each other as usual, but they don't even dare to come out of the atmosphere, and they look at Li Xian cautiously with each other, for fear that they will accidentally annoy this master, and I am afraid that their heads will not know how to move in the future.

Li Xian saw that everyone came so quickly, and he was also satisfied, he smiled, and said: "You should know that in this battle, our army won more with less, and broke Tubo, and it really depends on your help. It is a serious Tubo elite, but we are not afraid of the 200,000 Tuyuhun army, how can we care about the 200,000 Tubo army? What's more, my Datang still has 30,000 elites of General Xue in Wuhai, if we are still invincible in this situation, how can we talk about today's victory? ”

"It is precisely because of this," Li Xian paused, and then continued: "Our army should set off immediately, double the way, kill Garqinling by surprise, and fight with General Xue on the back and abdomen, defeat Tubo, recover Tuyuhun, and then march towards Luo. ”

In fact, Li Xian didn't need to deliberately explain anything at all, because the soldiers had long been subservient to him, and even close to the point of blind obedience, as long as he gave orders, these generals would support them unconditionally.

Of course, this does not include Tang Xiujing under Li Xian.

Tang Xiujing was an upright person and good at thinking, after hearing the news that Li Xian immediately led the army to set off, he had no objections, but he was afraid that Li Xian would be carried away by the victory, so he immediately went out of the queue and said to Li Xian: "In the opinion of the last general, this matter is not appropriate. ”

"Oh? What's wrong? Hugh Jing and let's hear it. Li Xian didn't expect Tang Xiujing to say this, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but according to his understanding of Tang Xiujing, he knew that this person had always been good at thinking, and maybe there was some reason, so he asked.

But I heard Tang Xiujing say: "My lord, the last general has no opinion on the matter of our army's expedition to Wuhai, but we can't double the speed, first of all, although our army is victorious, the morale of the soldiers is high, and the fighting spirit is high, but it consumes great physical strength and needs to rest urgently; Secondly, this place is a plateau battle, the soldiers generally feel breathing difficulties, headaches, etc., if they run rapidly, the body is afraid that they will not be able to bear it, and our army escorts a large amount of heavy grain and grass, even if you want to advance quickly, I am afraid it is not easy, if you need to walk slowly, until you get used to each other before you can drive straight in; Thirdly, since the king said that the Garqin Mausoleum is a famous general of Tibet, he will certainly not forget to contact with Zanpo, once the contact is lost, it is impossible to be unprepared, so the last general thinks that the surprise attack plan is difficult to complete, rather than this, our army should plan and give it an ambush, and win a small victory, on the one hand, it can frustrate the enemy's spirit, and on the other hand, it can also encourage General Xue. ”

"Well, what Xiu Jing said is not unreasonable, Tubo is suffering from the enemy on his belly and back, it should be their anxiety, we just need to hold on, and then find an opportunity to fight with it, naturally we can win steadily, it is the king's impatience, almost made a big mistake, hehe, that's the case, the soldiers of the three armies are all repaired for a day, we are slowly advancing, step by step, I believe that as long as it is not the Garqin Mausoleum pouring out of the nest, my baggage grain and grass will be unharmed, and if the Garqin Mausoleum is pouring out of the nest, it will definitely suffer from the back of the abdomen between me and General Xue, which is what we are willing to see."

"No, thank you, King." In fact, after last night's battle, the soldiers were indeed exhausted, but because of their loyalty to Li Xian, they were still holding on, and now they heard Li Xian say that they wanted to rest for a day, but everyone was grateful and excited.

After Li Xian learned about the military and public opinion, he was also glad that he did not make a wrong choice, otherwise he would have made a big mistake, and he was also glad that he had a loyal and wise person like Tang Xiujing under his command, who could give himself the most appropriate advice at the most critical time.

In fact, Tang Xiujing didn't feel lucky? Because he is now over forty years old, he thought that he would be in the position of Hucao in Yingzhou for the rest of his life, but he didn't expect to meet Li Xian, not only handed over all the guards in the palace to him for training, but also rewarded himself with gold and silver, and most importantly, Li Xian actually appreciated himself from the bottom of his heart, and he could humbly accept the pertinent opinions he put forward, this is his confidant!

The so-called "women are those who please themselves, and scholars die for their confidants", Tang Xiujing spent half his life, and finally met his confidant, and his heart was naturally very grateful, and he was determined to die for Li Xian.

A day later, Li Xian looked at the energetic soldiers, and his heart was also full of pride, and he immediately ordered the army to set off.

Although the speed of the march was not very fast this time, because of the emphasis on rest and good physical condition, they were able to walk thirty or forty miles a day, and even sometimes the soldiers were able to walk fifty miles with one hard work, so from Dafeichuan to Wuhai, there was originally a distance of more than 300 miles, and the soldiers were able to arrive in only seven days.

However, this is also planned according to the normal speed of advancement, but Li Xian did not really swagger to Wuhai like this, after all, he still has a large amount of grain and grass here, once it is discovered, he will definitely suffer from the key care of the Garqin Mausoleum, in case the grain and grass are accidentally burned and robbed, I am afraid that this time the army will inevitably retreat.

Therefore, Li Xian decided to follow Tang Xiujing's previous suggestion, to give Tubo an ambush battle, first a small victory, frustrate the spirit of the Tubo army, so that they have scruples, do not dare to move, they took the opportunity to repair the defense, the camp built as solid as a rock, so that their own invincible position, and then with Xue Rengui's army to invoke each other, Xu Tu has a chance of winning, I believe that the Garqin Mausoleum must not last too long, and finally can only take the initiative to retreat.

So Li Xian ordered all the grain and grass to be hidden in a hidden valley, and then Li Xian led 2,000 Turkic cavalry, 300 palace guards and 3,000 Tuyuhun cavalry sent by Murong Nuo Haobo to launch a feint attack on the Garqin Mausoleum not far away, lure it to a pre-designed valley, launch an ambush, and win the first battle with the Garqin Mausoleum.
