"Report! Li Changshi, the 40,000 troops of Tubo have set out from Moliyi and are coming to Shudun City......."

Li Ang was discussing countermeasures with Li Mi and Li Guangbi, and the Tang army's scouts returned to report the enemy's movements. This news suddenly increased the sense of urgency of the war.

Li Ang turned his head to Wu Xuan and asked, "South Gate, go and ask where Ma Chongzan, Cao Yan, and An Daoyuan's soldiers and horses are?" ”

"Whoa!" Wu Xuan responded with a fist clenched and hurriedly left.

This time, Li Ang mobilized 15,000 men and horses from Shanzhou, Kuozhou, and Hezhou to come to Da Momen City, thinking that he would confront the strength of Dazarugon's army head-on.

The garrison in Shanzhou is called the Lintao Army, the garrison in Hezhou is called the Zhenxi Army, and the garrison in Kuozhou is the Ningsai Army, which is led by the military envoys Cao Yan, An Daoyuan, and Ma Chongzan.

Dazarugon's army came from Moliyi, a distance of about one hundred and fifty miles. The Tang army must arrive first before it can be deployed calmly.

"Report! Five thousand Tibetan soldiers and horses began to attack Shudun City......."

The military reports flew in one by one, and as if the news of the attack on Shudun City by 5,000 Tibetan men and horses, Li Ang and the three continued to discuss the original matter.

Li Mi said at this time: "Li Changshi, if you want to hold back Dazarukon's army, it is not difficult to say, I am willing to make an envoy and go to meet Dazarugon for a while." ”

"No, you can't go." Li Ang immediately vetoed, Li Mi is his brainchild, although to drag Dazarugon, the talented Li Mi is indeed the best candidate, but at this time, Li Ang needs him to stay by his side to give advice and fill in the gaps.

Li Guangbi said: "It's better for me to go, but whether this can really drag down the tens of thousands of troops of Dazarugun, his subordinates are really not very sure." ”

Li Guangbi told the truth, but he also felt that once he succeeded, it might be the most beneficial and costly.

Li Ang shook his head again and said: "General Li can't go either, next, you will be responsible for the specific command of the army and the frontal battle with Dazarugong, and I will also coordinate the battles in the direction of Shibao, Niuxindui and other directions. ”

Li Guangbi was a little surprised when he heard this, he never expected that Li Ang would hand over such an important wartime approval power to him.

Ma Chongzan, Cao Yan, and An Daoyuan are also military envoys, but the importance of each army is very different from the location and number of troops, the Lintao army garrisoned Shanzhou with as many as 18,000 people, the Zhenxi army stationed in Hezhou also has 4,000 troops, and the Ningsai army stationed in Kuozhou has 5,000 troops.

Although Li Guangbi is also a military envoy, he does not belong to Longyou, and his Chishui military jurisdiction belongs to the envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and his station is in Liangzhou.

Under normal circumstances, as a military envoy of a guest army, it is unlikely that he will not be able to take command of the command.

What's more, there was some unhappiness between Li Ang and Wang Zhongsi, and he was a general raised by Wang Zhongsi, and from this point of view, Li Ang was even less likely to hand over the command of the frontal battlefield to him.

Li Guangbi felt that this might be Li Ang testing himself, so he humbly conceded: "Li Changshi, Guangbi is not talented, I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task, and I also ask Li Changshi to choose another good general to command the army." ”

Li Ang glanced at him lightly and said, "At the moment of the great enemy, General Li must put aside other private matters and concentrate on dealing with the invading enemy. What I just said to you was not to consult with you, but to order, is General Li ready to disobey? ”

"The last general will not dare!"

Of course, Li Guangbi did not want to offend Li Ang for such an appointment, and Li Ang, the chief of staff, was the actual commander, not to mention that he was likely to be the grandson of the emperor and won the emperor's favor.

In addition, from two things, Li Guangbi can also see that Li Ang is a decisive person:

First, as soon as he arrived in Longyou, he was sent by Dong Yanguang to repair the beacon tower, and in order to subdue the fifty Tang Army, Li Ang cut down the team at that time without blinking.

Second, Dong Yanguang was his boss, but he never whispered to Dong Yanguang, and finally even killed Dong Yanguang on the street.

Li Guangbi had no doubt that if he disobeyed Li Ang's order at this time, there would be absolutely no good end.

Li Mi smiled faintly: "It's not easy to drag Dazaru Gong, is there a more suitable candidate for Li Changshi?" ”

Li Ang couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could there be a more suitable candidate? Unless he made a trip himself, it was impossible.

In the end, Li Ang had to agree to let Li Mi go and meet Dazaru Gong for a while.

Li Mi took the document stamped with Li Ang's official seal, rode on a green horse, dressed in a white robe, with twenty guards by his side, and a Tang flag, and set off like this.

Li Ang personally escorted him across the camel bridge, and said seriously: "Secret, whether you can drag Dazarugon or not, the most important thing is that you come back safely." ”

Li Mi smiled lightly: "Li Changshi, don't worry, wherever I go with Tang Qi, who in the world dares to rebel?" Now that Zhu Dan wants to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty, he doesn't dare to do anything to me. ”

The current Tang Dynasty does have the confidence to dominate the world, and it is no wonder that Li Mi, who has always had a calm temperament, will also say such heroic words when he holds the festival flag.

Li Ang also smiled: "The national prestige cannot be lost, and your life is also important, in short, you have to come back safely." ”

"Long history is precious!"

"Precious!"

After saying a cherished word, Li Mi galloped west with the guards, and soon disappeared on the side of the mountain road. At this time, a subordinate reported: "Report to Li Changshi, the two thousand forwards of the Jingsai army have arrived." ”

"Good! General Lee, let's take a look. ”

***

Li Mi looked like a weak scholar, but on the galloping horse, he was more relaxed than the guards beside him, as if he was strolling leisurely.

They traveled less than ten miles to the west, and they were surrounded by Tubo rangers, and Li Mi held the festival flag and shouted loudly: "I am an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, and I am ordered by Shi Liang, the governor of Longyoujiedu, to meet you General Dazaru Gong!" ”

Li Mi clarified his identity, and after those Tubo rangers came up and checked his festival flags and documents, they didn't dare to deliberately embarrass him, and hurriedly took Li Mi to see Dazaru Gong.

After traveling west for about 100 miles, on a flat grassland, I saw the black and oppressive Tubo army, like the thick clouds that appeared on the horizon, pressing over, tens of thousands of horses, seeing the head but not the tail, the sound of hooves rumbling, the smoke and dust, the amazing momentum gave people an indescribable sense of oppression, making people almost suffocate.

Li Mi was dressed in white, straddling a green horse, holding the festival flag of the Tang Dynasty with a calm demeanor, standing in front of the thousands of troops and horses in Tubo. The west wind is tight, the smoke and dust are blowing, and the festival flag is fluttering in the wind.

As the Tibetan army got closer and closer, the earth trembled, and countless Tubo soldiers looked at the abrupt Tang flag in front of them, and they would not be wrong, it was the festival flag of the Tang Dynasty, the most prosperous and powerful country in the world, a country with the most heroic poems, the most gorgeous clothes, the most magnificent rivers and mountains, the most industrious people, and the most majestic cities and palaces.

Datang!

The envoy of the Tang Dynasty!

Twenty Tang soldiers were touched by Li Mi and lined up on both sides of Li Mi, facing the mighty army of Tibet, and the horizontal sword was immediately unmoving.

There was a small commotion in the Tibetan army, which quickly stopped, and Dazarugong, who received the report, asked Li Mi to bring him to him.

Li Mi was dressed in white to surprise Dazaru Gong, he had fought against the Tang Dynasty for many years and had a deep understanding of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Ang actually sent a commoner as an envoy, which was a kind of contempt for him and also for Tibet, and Dazarugon was a little angry in his heart, but it was not revealed on the surface.

However, Li Mi was like a roundworm in his stomach, and he could see his annoyance at a glance, Li Mi smiled and stepped forward and said: "In Xia Li Mi, it is a messenger sent by Long Right Changshi Li Ang, who has seen General Dazaru Gong. The general must be wondering, why did Li Changshi send me a white-clothed envoy? ”

Dazaru Gong said: "Ben Jiang is indeed strange, is there no one in Datang?" actually used a white body as a messenger. ”

Li Yu said with a smile: "I heard that General Dazaru Gong gathered 70,000 troops and prepared to attack our Longyou from Niuxindui, Stone Fort, Camel Bridge, etc., at the same time, Li Changshi and the soldiers and civilians of Longyou are actively preparing for war, only a scholar like me who can't pick up on his shoulders and can't lift his hands can't help much, so Li Changshi sent me." In fact, in my opinion, it doesn't matter who will send the envoy, what matters is what the purpose of the envoy is. ”

Li Mi inadvertently dragged Dazarugong's train of thought step by step, Dazarugong was unconscious, and asked according to his words: "Yes, since Datang is unwilling to negotiate peace with me in Tubo, I don't know what Li Ang sent you to do?" ”

At this time, Tubo talked about Lang? Plum and Princess Dolma of the Subi tribe walked into Dazarugon's big account together.

In Lang? In front of Meise, Dazaru Gong was not good at holding up, so he hurriedly got up and saluted, Lang? Mei Se just nodded to him as a return salute, and immediately turned her head to stare at Li Mi up and down before she spoke: "You are the messenger sent by Li Ang?" What did Leon send you for? ”

Take advantage of Lang? When Mei Se asked, Li Mi glanced at Princess Zhuoma curiously, and then replied? Mei Se said: "Back to the big talk, General Dazarugon is also asking the envoy, if it is in order, the envoy should answer General Dazarugon first;

But if you talk about your status, the envoy should answer you first, and now who should answer first, which makes the envoy a little embarrassed. ”

Li Mi's original intention here was to delay the Tibetan army, if he could provoke Lang by the way? The relationship between Mei Se and Dazaru Gong is naturally very good. Li Mi can be said to not miss any opportunity.

Bright? Mei Se said unhappily: "Naturally, I will answer the question of this major discussion first, and quickly say, what did Li Ang send you to do?" ”

He said: "Naturally, I came to negotiate peace. (To be continued.) )
