Da Fei Ling, like a giant dragon, meanders.

The cold wind howled, rolling up dead leaves everywhere, revealing a lot of white bones, as well as broken knives, guns and arrows, giving people a sense of depression.

"Quack!"

From time to time, there was a terrible old owl's cry, shuttling between the bones, and the sharp beak pecked at the white bones from time to time, as if he wanted to peck at a piece of delicious fresh meat. However, the bones have been decades old, and the muscles have long since turned to dust.

"Rumble!"

A deafening hoof sounded, and I saw an angry dragon appear in the distance, rushing towards Dafeiling. It didn't take long for a sea of people and a sea of flags to appear in the distance, and a group of Tang troops was galloping towards Dafeiling.

This Tang army was led by Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo, and Li Bai, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, and all the generals came.

As the distance from Da Fei Ling got closer and closer, from Ge Shuhan to ordinary soldiers, all of them were pale, their eyes were about to erupt with fire, and their eyes flashed with sparks of hatred.

Da Feiling's shadow became clearer and clearer, the sadness on the faces of the soldiers became stronger and stronger, the tears in their eyes rolled around, and they endured their grief and indignation without making a sound.

In a place three or five miles away from Dafeiling, the soldiers dismounted unanimously, took the reins of the horses, and walked slowly towards Dafeiling.

They walked slowly, and each step was heavy, as if they were weighed a thousand pounds.

Finally came to the front of Dafeiling, the soldiers took off their helmets and knelt on the ground for a long time, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy and extremely depressing.

Dafeiling is the defeat of Xue Rengui's army!

Xue Rengui's expedition to the west is defeated here!

Although decades have passed, Dafeiling is still full of bones, and there are countless broken knives, guns and arrows. When the Tang Army came to Dafeiling, it was to pay tribute to the soldiers of the Tang Army who had sacrificed their lives for the country for decades!

Xue Rengui's defeat of Dafeichuan was the biggest defeat of the Tang Dynasty since its founding, and it was the hatred that haunted the Tang army's heart, and it cannot be forgotten to this day. After the Tang army swept through Dafeichuan, it was mentioned that the martyrs of their ancestors were on the road to Dafeiling.

For this matter, Tang Jun was both excited and angry.

Excitedly, the corpses of the ancestors can finally be retracted; What is angry is that Xue Rengui's defeat is hateful.

In this way, Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo led the Tang army to Dafeiling.

After a period of silence, Ge Shuhan waved his hand, and Tang Jun began to clean up the bones.

With tears in his eyes, Tang Jun carefully cleaned up, and the corpses were cleaned out one by one.

Tang Jun scolded bitterly while cleaning up, and for a while, the scolding was endless.

"The hateful Tubo dog, so ruthless, killed so many ancestors!"

"The Tibetan dog is hateful, we want to kill all the Tibetan and avenge the ancestors!"

"Datang wants to fight Luo, catch Zampu, and use Zampu's dog head to pay tribute to the ancestors!"

Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo listened to it in their ears and sighed secretly.

Xue Rengui was defeated, and Li Changguo and they were also sorry, however, strictly speaking, the fault of the defeat in this battle was not Xue Rengui, but Guo Beifeng.

"Go to the Ridge!"

Ge Shuhan waved his hand, walked side by side with Li Changguo, and strode up Dafeiling. Li Bai, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, and Li Sheng hurriedly followed, and soon arrived at Dafeiling.

When I came to the ridge, I saw a clear lake in front of me, there were countless white bones in it, and the broken knives, guns and arrows were densely packed, I don't know how many.

"Hey!"

The crowd sighed in unison.

Li Changguo raised his eyes and looked around, this is the commanding height, the vision is extremely open, and the radius of dozens of miles is all in his eyes.

"Great place! Xue Rengui is worthy of the talent of the famous general, a good place to choose! It's a great place to stock up on grain! Ge Shuhan looked at it for a while, full of praise.

"Yes!" The generals echoed in unison: "Xue Rengui has fought all his life, his military exploits are notorious, and he has made immortal contributions to the Tang Dynasty, which can be called a model of famous generals!" ”

All the generals knew that the defeat of Dafeichuan was not Xue Rengui's mistake, but he didn't mention it at all.

"After coming to Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui chose to store grain here, and then personally led the army straight to Wuhai." Ge Shuhan tapped his hands heavily, with a look of regret on his face, and said: "On the way, I met tens of thousands of Tibetan troops, and it was decided to fight a battle, and the drums marched westward, approaching Wuhai. At this time, he received a military report that the grain and grass in Dafeiling had been burned by Tubo and had to withdraw his troops. ”

"On the way to withdraw the army, the Tibetan army continued to invite attacks, and every step of retreat had to pay a high price. Not to mention, food shortages are a taboo in the army, and the army's morale is unstable. Even in such a difficult situation, Xue Rengui still withdrew to Dafeiling, defending against danger, which is commendable! Li Bai took over the conversation, feeling sorry, shaking his head as he spoke, and the green tendons on his forehead were rising.

There was silence for a while, and none of the generals spoke, their eyes widened as they looked at the broken swords, guns and arrows.

There are a lot of Tibetan scimitars in it, and in this battle, Tubo also paid a high price.

"After Guo Zhifeng became a famous general, he didn't take Xue Rengui in his eyes, violated Xue Rengui's military orders, and acted without authorization, causing the grain and grass to be burned by Tubo, which is really the culprit of this defeat!" Li Changguo retracted his gaze and said sadly.

Guo Beifeng is the second son of Guo Xiaoke, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty, who is arrogant and does not take Xue Rengui in his eyes.

After the Tang army arrived at Dafeiling under the leadership of Xue Rengui, Xue Ren considered that there was a lot of miasma on the road and inconvenient movement, which would drag down the movement of the army, so he decided to put the grain and grass in Dafeiling and form two villages to protect it.

Guo Beifeng volunteered to stay, and Xue Rengui agreed. Before leaving, Xue Rengui told him not to act without authorization, just stay in Dafeiling, he agreed on the surface, and secretly had his own plans.

After Xue Rengui led the army to leave, he acted on his own initiative and ordered the grain and grass to be transported from Dafeiling.

This was not a fundamental surname mistake he made. Even if the grain and grass leave Dafeiling, as long as he quickly converges with Xue Rengui's main force, Tubo will not be able to help the Tang army, at most it will only drag down the marching speed of the Tang army, and it will not cause a catastrophe.

The biggest mistake he made was to act on his own and not join Xue Rengui's main force, which gave Tubo an opportunity to take advantage of.

Tubo mobilized heavy troops to surround him, Guo Zhifeng made another mistake, he did not fight to the death to protect the grain and grass and wait for Xue Rengui to return to the army, but threw away the grain and grass and fled, which made Tubo easily successful.

If he stubbornly guarded the grain and grass and sent someone to report to Xue Rengui, the grain and grass might not be destroyed by Tubo. You must know that the frontal hard shock, the Tubo army is not the opponent of the Tang army, although the combat power of the Tang army escorting grain and grass is not very good, at least it is not a problem to support it for a while.

As soon as he fled, all hope was cut off, and when Xue Rengui got the news and rushed back, the grain and grass had been burned in Tibet.

People with a little bit of brains know the importance of grain and grass, without grain and grass, Xue Rengui can't fight this battle, and he is ready to withdraw his army.

The Tibetan people are not stupid, such a good opportunity, how can you be allowed to escape. Tubo mobilized 400,000 troops to surround and encircle Xue Rengui's army, and Xue Rengui's retreat was extremely difficult, and every step back had to pay a high price. It was under such circumstances that Xue Rengui still retreated to Dafeiling, which was very rare.

The reason why Xue Rengui wanted to retreat to Dafeiling was that the terrain here was easy to defend and could be defended by relying on the terrain.

After some efforts, the Tang army finally retreated to Dafeiling and fought fiercely with hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops.

Although there was no food and grass, the Tang army still inflicted high casualties on the Tibetan army, and the Tubo finally had to negotiate peace with Xue Rengui, and let the Tang army leave on the condition that the Tang army could not go any further.

The grain and grass were gone, the captured cattle and sheep were eaten, the Tang army was out of food, and Xue Rengui had no choice but to accept this condition. Then, Xue Rengui led the remnants of the army to defeat and withdraw from Dafeichuan, and the Tang Dynasty's efforts to march into Dafeichuan were in vain.

The impact of Xue Rengui's defeat of Dafeichuan was very great, firstly, it allowed Tubo to fully occupy the rich land of Dafeichuan, and its national strength increased greatly, and it became a great state that fought against the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.

The second is that Tubo took Dafeichuan as the base and attacked the land of Hehuang through Shibao City, which made the Tang Dynasty carry a heavy burden, and more than 100,000 troops had to be deployed to the land of Hehuang.

Third, the purpose of the Tang Dynasty sending Xue Rengui to attack Dafeichuan was to occupy Dafeichuan, and to use this as a base to point the sword at the capital of Tubo. If it succeeds, the Tang Dynasty will attack Tibet again and prepare to destroy Tibet. As soon as the battle was lost, this plan was in vain.

Fourth, after the victory of the Great Feichuan in Tibet, Tubo immediately marched into the Western Regions non-stop, and once captured the four towns of Anxi. The Tang Dynasty spent a lot of effort to recapture the four towns of Anxidu. Although it was recovered, it was the prelude to the invasion of the Anxi Protectorate by Tubo, and later, the shadow of the Tubo Protectorate was always indispensable, and this is how it came.

If there was no unauthorized action by Guo Beifeng, Xue Rengui's expedition to the west would probably have been successful. In that case, it can not only stop the strength of Tubo, but also put the advance base of the Tang Dynasty to Dafeichuan, and the Tang Dynasty has long been pointing at it.

What a pity!

Xue Rengui's defeat caused the Tang Dynasty to suffer from the nuisance of Tubo for decades, and the land of the river was restless. It was not until now that Li Changguo and his team captured Shibao City, and the Tang army swept through Dafeichuan and took Dafeichuan into their pockets.

In the first war of that year, scenes flowed through their hearts, and Li Changguo sighed and regretted.

Li Changguo squatted down and began to clean up the corpses, and was surprised to find that among the broken knives, guns and arrows, the broken scimitars actually accounted for the majority.

"The first war of that year was extremely tragic! Although the Tubo dog took advantage of the time and place and burned Xue Rengui's grain and grass, it did not take advantage of it, and suffered heavy casualties! Before Li Changguo could speak, Li Bai sighed with emotion.

"Yes!"

Guo Ziyi echoed loudly, pointed to the broken scimitar, and said: "After the war, Tubo has been cleaned up, and up to now, there are more broken scimitars than horizontal knives, this is the best proof!" ”

"For decades, from time to time, Tibetan dogs have come and picked up a lot of scimitars." Li Guangbi took over the conversation and analyzed.

This kind of indication shows that although the Tang army was defeated in the first battle of Dafeiling, it was defeated tragically, and although it was defeated, it was still glorious!

In the case of burning grain and grass and facing an enemy with superior forces, it is rare for the Tang Army to achieve such a record.

"Xue Rengui is really good!"

Everyone praised in unison.

The cleanup took half a month, and half a month later, the Tang Army held a grand memorial ceremony, and Li Bai wrote a memorial text.

After the memorial, the remains of the Tang army set off and were to be transported back to the Tang Dynasty for burial!
