readx; In addition to leaving enough troops on the border to guard the border, Datang withdrew all the surplus troops to the territory and assigned them to Jiannan Province, Guannai Province, and Jiangnan Province respectively. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, Li Yuanjing had already raised troops, with an army of more than 50,000, starting from Huzhou, Jiangnan Province, and launching an attack from south to north, with the sword pointing directly at Chang'an. After capturing six states in a row, he was intercepted in Yuezhou by Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong, who were maneuvering.

Because the army led by Cheng Zhijie and Wei Chigong is the official army of the Tang Dynasty, and they have just retired from the battlefield, they have extremely rich combat experience and strong combat effectiveness. Although there were only 20,000 horses, Li Yuanjing's 50,000-strong army could not move. And Li Yuanjing's army of 50,000, although they are all shrimp soldiers, but the advantage is that they are numerous, and they are still inseparable from the Tang Army, and even under the command of Li Yuanjing, they once had the upper hand.

When the civil war in Datang was endless, there was no idle abroad. Tubo returned to the territory of the army, rested for a while, and launched an attack on the male. Due to the great loss of vitality in this battle, the emptiness of national strength, and the low morale of the army, on the third day of the Tibetan attack, the Zhangxiong border was completely defeated. Taking advantage of the victory, the Tibetans pursued and attacked to the left with 10,000 cavalry, intending to defeat several relatively tenacious military fortresses in Zhangxiong. Send another 8,000 cavalry to the heart. The last 13,000 infantry, step by step, slowly advanced towards Zhangxiong Kyoto.

Zhangxiong is certainly stronger than Tibet, even now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse. However, in the face of the lightning-fast offensive of the Tibetans and the careful tactics, Zhangxiong was defeated more than victorious, and in the end he could only ask the Western Turks for help while desperately resisting.

The current Western Turks, where can they take care of Zhangxiong, more than seventy percent of the domestic troops are used on the Eastern Turkic battlefield. They are all countries on horseback, and they are all Laipi spirit who can't be beaten and run, so how easy is it to conquer the Eastern Turks? Despite the successive battles, despite the countless sieges of the city. However, the cavalry of the Eastern Turks can always launch a surprise attack, or counterattack, or attack the supply line, or sparrow warfare at an inadvertent time and place. In short, it is to make the Western Turks have two big heads.

originally thought that Tuyuhun, who had become cannon fodder, should be a little more disciplined, but Tuyuhun was not idle. found that the grand strategy was messed up, and even the little thing of Tubo dared to do something to the big man of the male, how could he watch others eat meat and smell it by himself? However, Tuyuhun's idea is more strange, he did not take advantage of this time to take advantage of the fire to rob, but thought in disguise, thinking that if he helped Zhangxiong at this time to eliminate the traitor Tubo, wouldn't Zhangxiong treat himself as a guest in the future? Therefore, Tuyuhun gathered the only remaining 20,000 main forces in the country and bit back at Tubo.

Tubo had already sent all the main forces into the territory of Zhangxiong, but Tugu Hun was coldly inserted into the pole, completely cutting off contact with the main force on the front line. The supply line was cut off, and the supply of materials, personnel, and armaments could not be supplied, and when there was no choice but to do so, the main force in front of Lian Jie could only suspend the offensive. Tubo squeezed out 6,000 soldiers and horses, combined with the soldiers and horses on the front line, and launched a trapping attack on Tuyuhun.

As a result, the front-line army of Tubo was transferred to fight Tuguhun, and Zhang-zhung also turned around to fight the front-line army of Tubo. In this way, it was the Tubo that flanked Tuyuhun before and after, and Tuyuhun and Zhangxiong also flanked Tubo before and after. For a time, Tubo was miserable and could only ask for help from Datang, an ally.

Datang is now too busy to take care of himself, and he is forced by Li Yuanjing to be helpless, where can he spare energy to pay attention to Tubo. Considering that Tibet will become the most important ally in the future, stuck between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, it is extremely important that the Turks attack the Tang Dynasty can play a defensive role, or that the Tang Dynasty can play a springboard role in the future. But the domestic generals were all sent to encircle and suppress Li Yuanjing, and there was no one available at all, and in the end, this burden could only be thrown on Wei Hong's shoulders. Send Wei Hong from Longyou Road, lead 8,000 cavalry, and gallop to aid Tubo from a distance.

When Wei Hong led his troops to the Tubo war zone, the Khitan was not idle. Datang's current external worries have basically been solved, and only internal troubles remain, so it is no longer the best choice to use force against Datang. And the Eastern Turks were beaten by the Western Turks and had no power to fight back, so why not take advantage of this time to get a piece of the Eastern Turks? As a result, the Khitan once again sent Xiao He, who had attacked Horsehair Mountain, to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack from the northeast of the Eastern Turks, and then sent 10,000 infantry to advance slowly, step by step, in order to achieve the intention of encroaching on the occupation.

Originally, the Eastern Turks were ugly enough to face the Western Turks, but the backyard was set on fire by the Khitan, and they were all strong enemies, and it was only a matter of time before the Eastern Turks perished.

At this time, the situation of the entire continent can be briefly summarized, the Tang Dynasty Civil War, the Western Turks fighting the Eastern Turks, the Khitan fighting the Eastern Turks, the Tubo fighting Zhangxiong, the Tubo fighting Tuyuhun, the Zhangxiong fighting Tubo, and the Tuyuhun fighting Tubo. Originally, this was already messy enough, but Hui Hui didn't know if he took the wrong medicine or what, so he fought with the Khitan in a daze. Although the Hui had a home advantage and a numerical advantage, they couldn't beat the Khitan. Later, he provoked the Khitan, so he simply placed the Eastern Turks first, and went all out to fight back to Hui, and he lost his temper in one go.

When there was a lot of trouble in the north, Wei Hong was less than a step away from the Tubo battlefield. Sitting on the back of a bumpy horse, listening to the information from all sides, Wei Hong frowned, kept thinking, and finally slapped his thigh, shouting: "Don't go to support Tibet!" ”

The accompanying Cheng asked silently why? Wei Hong replied: "Now Tubo is entangled with Tuyuhun and Zhangxiong head-on, although the fight is extremely hard, but it is indeed entangled. At this time, whether it is Tubo or Zhangxiong, the country is extremely empty. No matter which one we attack, it's a one-shot victory! Tuyuhun is the closest to us, but it is not interesting to attack Tuyuhun, this kind of small door and small household, even if it is defeated, it will have no impact on the entire battlefield. It is better to turn directly from the territory of Tubo, from the southwest, into the territory of Zhangxiong, and go straight into the inner abdomen. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo patted his head, and rarely said an idiom: "Sir, what is your trick called, encircling Wei to save Zhao?" ”

"Not bad! The location of Tibet is exactly at the center of various forces. There is Zhangxiong in the southwest, Turkic in the northeast, Datang in the southeast, and Tuyuhun in the east, which can be described as a huge pressure, which is also the root of Tubo's constant suppression by various forces and its difficult climate. Once, we surprise the Zhangxiong and disintegrate the Zhangxiong from the inside, not only can we get rid of the evil of Zhangxiong, but also relieve the pressure of the Tibetan in this battle. It can also make Tibet have one less enemy, so that it is more conducive to the development of Tibet. Wei Hong patiently explained. Although a few generations later, Tubo will pose a very big threat to the Tang Dynasty, everything is cause and effect. If Tibet cannot develop now, it will not be able to become a powerful ally of Datang in the near future, and for Datang, it will do more harm than good. In the end, in a word, others will worry about the future, so let's solve the matter in front of us first! (To be continued.) )
