readx; After the Yellow River is bred from the source of the river, it flows into a large lake for a hundred miles in the east, this plateau lake is the Baihai, the Baihai is composed of two lakes, the shape is like a gourd, the water color is extremely clear, it is dark green, when the sky is clear, the clouds in the sky, the surrounding mountains, reflected in the water, clearly visible, they are like two pure and flawless sapphires, inlaid in the reckless plateau of the source of the Yellow River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The Tibetan people also live by water, where there are lakes and rivers, the grassland will be lush and the land will be fertile, so Baihai also became the logistics base camp of the Tibetan army for a time.

In the battle of August of the 11th year of Tianbao, Ge Shuhan attacked the Tubo army in Baihai for a long time, and was defeated by the Tubo reinforcements, with heavy losses, but the Tubo army was also greatly damaged, and they finally abandoned Baihai and withdrew to the hinterland, and Baihai was placed by the Tang army with tens of thousands of Tuyuhun people to settle here, and also stationed a plateau sentry of 500 people.

Time gradually passed a full three years, when the Tuyuhun people had children here, grazed and fetched water, and had adapted to the life of Baihai, a military disaster that would change their lives was quietly coming.

In August of another year, tens of thousands of Tibetan troops crossed the Purple Mountain, which is today's Bayankala Mountains, named after the magnificent purple color that the sun shines on the snow peaks, and the mountains are extremely high and snow-capped all year round.

Compared with the Han army, the Tibetan army had an absolute superiority in plateau warfare, and they could adapt to long long journeys, often marching thousands of miles on the plateau to attack a distant target.

This time, the Tubo army was divided into two expeditionary armies, the East Route Army attacked Longyou, and the West Route Army attacked Anxi, according to the strategy of the Tubo people, they had to attack Longyou first, and the Anxi Army would inevitably rush to support Longyou, so that there would be a military emptiness in the hinterland of Anxi, and then their main force would attack Anxi in a big way, and at the same time the Hui people also attacked Beiting from the north, and the two armies cooperated to completely drive the Tang forces out of Anxi.

It should be said that this is the truth of history, after the outbreak of the Anxi Rebellion, the Tubo army took advantage of the emptiness of the Hexi of Longyou, occupied Helong, plundered the resources of the Tang Dynasty to strengthen the strength of Tubo, and at the same time cut off the support of the Tang army to Anxi, making Anxi an enclave, and finally annexed by Tubo.

Historically, Dazaru Gong, Shang Xi Dongzan and Shang Jiasu led an army of 100,000 to invade the east, and finally captured Chang'an, and withdrew after plundering in Chang'an.

After Li Qing'an, a strange person, changed the history of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an may not be captured by the Tubo people again, but the Tubo still sent troops according to the historical trajectory, and it was still these three people, Dazarugong, Shangxi Dongzan and Shang Jiasu, the difference is that Dazarugong attacked Longyou, while Shangxi Dongzan and Shang Jiasu mainly attacked Anxi.

Under the reflection of the sun, 50,000 Tibetan troops appeared in the upper reaches of the Baihai Sea, they set out from Luo, marched due north, passed through Namco Lake, arrived at the Wild Horse Station, and continued to the north through the Tanggula Pass, and then arrived at the Xinnuoluo Station, where they rested for a while, and then continued to go north, and soon arrived at the source of the Yangtze River, the Yak River, which is now the Tuotuo River, they marched east along the Yak River, arrived at the Zhonglongyi, crossed the Purple Mountain in a slightly concave mountain pass, and arrived at the south of the Baihai. From here, they will attack the Kashiwai.

The main general Dazaru Gong is about 50 years old this year, he has been fighting against the Tang Dynasty for many years, he even gave himself a Han name Ma Chongying, in his decades of military career, he has experienced countless battles against the Tang Dynasty, Huangfu Weiming, Wang Zhongsi, Ge Shuhan, to today's Li Qing'an, more wins and fewer losses, but in the most impressive battle occurred at the end of the sixth year of Tianbao The Battle of Shibao City, Li Qing'an intercepted nearly 100,000 reinforcements of the Tubo army with 3,000 weak brigades, and the Tubo army suffered heavy losses, and even Zampu died in that battle.

That battle is unforgettable for Dazarugon, and today he will fight again to avenge his defeat and humiliation with a hundredfold slaughter.

"Governor, look there!"

A Tibetan soldier pointed ahead, only to see a stone fort built on a high slope a few miles away, which was different from the Xingsu Fort they had built in Xingsuchuan, the terrain was low, it should be said that it was not a castle, but a Tang army outpost, and also their beacon tower.

At the same time as they discovered this outpost, the Tang army seemed to have discovered them as well, and three thick clouds of smoke rose from the sentry fort to report to the distance, which was an alarm of an attack by a large group of enemy troops.

Dazarugon was furious, and he immediately ordered: "The First Army is in and destroys this fortress!" ”

The 10,000 cavalry of the Tubo army dispatched, like a black avalanche on a snow-capped mountain, and swept towards this lonely Tang army outpost.

This Tang army post is called Xiyue Fort, more than 20 miles away from Baihai, because it is named after crossing the Purple Mountain is Xiyue River, there are 60 garrisons, most of them are Tang soldiers of Tuyuhun nationality, because the Han soldiers are not suitable for fighting on the plateau, and are not suitable for long-term life on the plateau, so Geshuhan recruited nearly 20,000 Tang troops in Tuyuhun and Qianghu, and mixed a small number of Han soldiers into it, and ordered them to garrison the plateau castle and fortress, and Geshu Handong went to Chang'an to take away 50,000 Han troops, and then left this Tuyuhun Tang army on the plateau.

Due to the difficult journey and the lack of information, most of the Tuyuhun and Qianghu on the plateau did not know that Geshuhan had left Longyou, and these troops, like the herdsmen, lived a half-herding and half-army life.

The Purple Mountain Pass has been calm for three years, but I didn't expect that today, three years later, the Tubo army suddenly killed, dozens of Tang soldiers in the fort saw that the Tubo army was coming, they lit the beacon smoke and rushed out of the stone fort, and galloped towards the sheep and horse pens hundreds of steps away, at this time, the Tubo army had been overwhelmingly covered, Xiyue Fort was instantly engulfed by the hurricane cavalry, more than 40 Tang soldiers rushed out of the stone fort one step late, died tragically under the sword of the Tubo army, only a dozen people escaped.

Seeing that the Tang army had escaped, Dazaru was extremely resentful in his heart, and he waved his sword and shouted: "Pass my order, the army will wash the Baihai with blood, and use the sword of the Tubo army to dye the Baihai with red!" ”

When the order to slaughter was given, the Tibetan army shouted loudly, waved their swords and spears, galloped on horseback, and slaughtered Baihai, twenty miles away.

The main pastoral areas of Baihai are concentrated in the south, where more than 20,000 Tuyuhun herdsmen who moved from the Jishi Mountain area, they have become subjects of Tubo in the era of Tubo rule, and after the Tang army captured Jishi Mountain and Baihai area, they promised the Tuyuhun people to re-establish the country, under the temptation of re-establishing the country, some of the Tuyuhun tribes betrayed the Tubo, and went south to seize the most fertile land in Baihai, which was once the most fertile land in Tubo.

But today, the beacon tower twenty miles away suddenly smoke, the Tuyuhun herdsmen were frightened and panicked, shouting loudly for their wives and children, the inside and outside of the tent were in chaos, they had no care about raising the herd and property, pushed their families on horses and fled to the north, at this time, more than a dozen Tang troops fled from the south, hundreds of steps behind them, black clouds rolled, murderous and monstrous, about several miles wide, like a black wave rushing in.

The Tubo people showed their strong combat effectiveness on the plateau, they ran wildly on the plateau at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, like an overwhelming pack of wild wolves, only a quarter of an hour to arrive at the shore of Baihai Lake, far away, they had already seen the tents and the Tuyuhun women and children and old people who were about to run, they opened their mouths and shouted, their dark faces showed white teeth, brandished their swords, and came to the camp of the Tuyuhun people.

Dazarugon waved his sword and roared: "Kill them all!" ”

The cavalry swept up the tent like a storm, regardless of men, women and children, and were cut off by the Tibetan cavalry with a sword, and the corpses were lying on the shore of the lake, and the weak children were pierced through the chest with spears by the Tibetan cavalry, and they were raised high to the sky.

The 50,000 Tibetan cavalry went on a non-stop journey, killing one tribe and then another tribe, and they wanted to punish these betrayers for encroaching on their land.

The massacre of Baihai lasted for five days, from the south to the north, except for the thousands of herdsmen who were grazing in the north who escaped, the remaining 15,000 Tuyuhun and hundreds of Tang soldiers all died tragically under the iron hooves of the Tubo army.

Dazaru Gong was not satisfied with reoccupying Baihai, he divided his troops into two routes, one way to kill Dafeichuan, and the other way was led by him personally, advancing towards Wuhai and the Yellow River Jiuqu.

．．．．．．．．．． The Longyou Jiedu Embassy is located in Huangshui County, Shanzhou, that is, Ledu County, Qinghai, where the Lintao army is stationed, but the most important county seat in Longyou is not Huangshui County, but Shancheng County, about 100 miles west of Huangshui County, which is today's Xining, Qinghai.

At present, the main force of the 60,000 Tang Army from the Anxi Army has arrived in Longyou, plus the 20,000 Tuyuhun Tang Army recruited by Ge Shuhan and the 40,000 Guanzhong Army led by Wang Sili who are about to arrive, so that the number of Tang Army in Longyou has reached 120,000.

However, the strength of the Tuyuhun army was weak, and the Guanzhong army could not adapt to the plateau operation, so the main force of the Longyou army was still 60,000 troops from Anxi, and the 60,000 Tang army was led by Li Guangbi, the governor of Tocharia, of which 15,000 people had been led by the general Li Sheng to the Jiuqu area, while the remaining 45,000 people were stationed in the Dafeichuan and Hehuang areas.

On his way back to Anxi, Li Qing'an made a short stop in Shancheng County, Longyou, and as soon as he arrived in Longyou, he received an urgent report from the direction of Baihai.

In the temporary military office of Shancheng County, Li Qing'an stood in front of a huge map and pondered, this map is the geographical map of the mountains and rivers of Tubo stolen by An Baoyu from the Tibetan envoy, he drew a red circle in Baihai, Jiuqu of the Yellow River, Dafeichuan and Shibaocheng, these four places are the strategic places that the Tubo army must fight, Baihai is estimated to have been lost, then the next target of the Tubo army is very likely to be the Jiuqu of the Yellow River.

Li Qing'an used his pen to make a heavy circle on the Yellow River Jiuqu, he would rather lose Dafeichuan, but also to protect the Yellow River Jiuqu, the Yellow River Jiuqu is the most abundant grain place west of Chiling, has always been the logistics base camp of the Tubo army, if the Tubo army occupies this area, then it means that the Tubo army has a firm foothold in Longyou.
