—— In the middle of Dafei Sichuan, the temporary camp of the Tubo people. In the quiet winter, the whole camp has a peaceful atmosphere.

The Tubo general, who originally commanded the Qinghai soldiers and horses, lived in Fuqi City, but because of the change in the situation, the Tang Dynasty army pressed the border, and Shang Jiexi, who commanded the Qinghai soldiers and horses, moved his tent to the front line of Dafeichuan a year ago.

This is a place that can be attacked and defended, even if several gateways to Qinghai, such as Chiling, Niuxindui, Mantou Mountain, etc., are lost, but as long as Dafeichuan is there, it can still rely on Qinghai Nanshan and Ola Mountain to hold the hinterland of Qinghai, and can use the terrain to launch a large-scale counterattack. Even if the situation was very unfavorable and the Tibetan army was defeated again and again, they could still retreat from Dafeichuan to Wuhai, Heyuan, and then to Luoqicheng.

Fu Qi City can be lost, but Dafei Sichuan can not be lost, so Shang Jiexi stationed heavy troops here, and about 150,000 horses of more than 200,000 people in Qinghai are stationed here. Shang Jiexi's plan was to let Chiling, Kushan, Mantoushan, Niuxindui and other fortresses be attacked by the Tang army, to delay the Tang army's attack speed as much as possible, and to inflict great casualties on the Tang army, and then he concentrated his superior forces, gave the Tang army a fatal blow, and drove the Tang army out of Qinghai again.

There is also a special symbolism here, the famous Tang general Xue Rengui was defeated here, and the Tang army has not set foot in this area since then.

For the Tibetans, this is a place of victory, and this time Shang Jiexi intends to create another glory here.

However, Shang Jiexi is not a very arrogant person, he already knew the name of Yang Xi, who commanded the army to quell the rebellion, and found out that the Tang army was already equipped with a very powerful weapon, although he didn't know what the weapon was, but he had some scruples. It was precisely because he had scruples that he did not concentrate a large number of troops to block the Tang army in the area of Kushan, Chiling and Mantou Mountain, but wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Tang army suffered very heavy losses after attacking these places. When morale is low and supplies are insufficient, all efforts are given to solve the problem once and for all.

On the Qinghai Plateau, it was difficult for the Tang army to adapt to the climate and environment here, and in this regard, the Tubo people had an absolute advantage. Shang Jiexi took it for granted that after the Tang army set out from Shanzhou, it must have been sleepy and lacking in people and horses when it arrived in the hinterland of Qinghai, and its combat strength could not be compared with the Tubo army at all. He was confident of victory in this battle. He even felt that the Tang Army might not be able to capture places like Kushan and Mantou Mountain.

The 150,000 men led by Shang Jiexi were scattered and stationed in the flattest places of Dafeichuan, and the camp tent stretched for fifty or sixty miles, separated by the mountain, divided into three parts, namely the front army, the rear army, and the middle army. The Chinese army was led by Shang Jiexi himself, with 70,000 horses, and the front army was led by Xiao Lun Dazha Lugong, with a total of 50,000 men, and the two camps were almost touched. The rear army was led by Shang Xixi's eldest son, Dashigai, and there were about 30,000 men. He is also in charge of everything in the grain and grass. From the topography, the three groups of men and horses leaned on each other in a concave shape, and they could quickly respond and support when the enemy attacked the camp. The front, middle and back are called according to the direction of the Wuhai Sea.

Today's Tubo is divided into five Ru, and the highest governor of each Ru is called "Ruben". Ru Ben can be said to be the most powerful people in Tubo except for Zanpu and the theory of size, they are powerful figures, often leading several tribes, and the number of tribes determines the number of people under their command. In other words, the level of its status is related to the number of tribes and the number of accounts under its command.

Wuru is divided into more than 60 "Dai", and the chief of each Dai is called "Daiben", and a Dai is almost a tribe. Each Dai is of different size, and every time there is a battle, Dai Ben also leads the army to go out and is compiled under Ruben. There are more than 10 Dai Ben in the Tubo army led by Shang Jiexi this time, and these Ruben and Dai Ben are all battle-hardened people, with rich combat experience, and they also have a lot of experience in fighting with the Tang army.

After the rebellion of An Lushan, Longyou and Shuofang and other festivals made a large number of people and horses under their command transferred inward, and the Tang army on the front line of Qinghai was empty, taking advantage of this opportunity, Shang Jiexi led the army to capture many places that were originally controlled by the Tang army, and now the Tang army can only control those large state capitals along the coast of Qinghai, and defend the fortified city, but it is said that the entire Qinghai has been mastered by the Tubo people. Shang Jiexi has a very lofty goal, that is, after defeating the Tang army in this battle, he will take advantage of the situation to make progress, capture Shanzhou, Lanzhou, Hezhou, Taozhou and other places, and if possible, further advance to the interior of the Tang Dynasty, and even get involved in Chang'an. This was the result of his discussion with Dazarugong.

In the largest tent of the Tibetan Chinese army, Shang Jiexi was lying on the fire, watching several Tuyuhun women dance.

The weather is very cold, he can't go out hunting, there is nothing to do, roasting the fire, listening to music, dancing and women's naked hand-to-hand combat are the things that Shang Jiexi is most interested in doing, he has very good energy, he needs women to accompany him every night, and even during the day will do these things, and now he has several good-looking women waiting around him. While listening to the music and dancing, his hand reached into the breasts of the women around him from time to time, ignoring the presence of others, and wantonly playing with the breasts of the women who were waiting, and they were all going to sleep for a while. If he is satisfied with his performance in bed, he will continue to serve him tomorrow, and if he is not satisfied, then the woman may be rewarded to someone else to play.

In addition to his interest in women, Shang Jiexi was also very interested in fighting and hunting. It's just that now there is no war to fight, and it is not convenient to hunt, so I can only stay in the tent and listen to music. He didn't need to do the training of sergeants, and he had his own subordinates Ruben and Kaben to take care of it.

Shang Yuxi's third son, Xinor, stood beside his father, and from time to time added a glass of wine to Shang Yuxi. Silnoer was just twenty years old, the age of the most longing for a woman, and when he was pouring wine for his father, his eyes were always fixed on the breasts and buttocks of the dancing Tuyuhun women, and from time to time he slipped the Adam's apple twice, and he was looking forward to his father's good mood, and to reward him with a woman who could have fun for a while. Shang Jiexi reached into the breasts of the women around him in public, or under the skirts, which strongly stimulated Nolt's nerves, and his desire for women became stronger and stronger.

Silnoer and Shang Yuxi have similar habits, like hunting, fighting, but can't do these things in one winter, a little boring, can only fight women's ideas. There are a lot of Tuyuhun people who have surrendered, and there are also many women, and there are many women from the Tang Dynasty who have been looted, and most of the beautiful women have been selected for the enjoyment of the nobles of the Tubo people.

Cinor was very depressed, and when he came over one winter, he only feasted on ten women, which was far from being comparable to his father. He was thinking about how to open his mouth to his father for a while, to ask a nice woman to go back, and to toss it in the evening. Tuyuhun and Han women look similar, temperament is also similar, they are very gentle, compared to Tubo women, Xinnuoer prefers Tuyuhun women and Han women.

When the father and son were enjoying themselves in different ways, the curtain door was opened, and Ururu Ben Wuzan hurriedly entered.

Shang Jiexi, who was disturbed, frowned slightly, but didn't say anything, so Wu Zan came to talk about it!

"Da Lun, many of the scouts sent out by our army have not come back during this time," Wu Zan attached to Shang Jiexi's ear and reported in a low voice: "Da Lun, according to the news we got half a month ago, the Tang army has already marched from Lanzhou to Shanzhou, will they have entered Qinghai...... Our scouts didn't come back to report the news, could it be that the Tang army was approaching, captured or killed by them? The subordinates felt a little abnormal, so they came to ...... I reported it to the Great Theory. ”

Wu Zan saw the unhappiness on Shang Jiexi's face, and hurriedly accompanied him to explain carefully.

"What?" When Shang Jiexi heard this, he was taken aback, and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and he immediately waved his hand to signal the dancing Tuyuhun women to retreat, and drank the other idle people away. After the irrelevant people withdrew, he asked Wu Zan sharply: "Wu Zan Ruben, is this really the case?" How many scouts do we send? How many have returned? ”

"In a big deal, there are dozens of scouts we have sent, and less than one of the ten have returned!" Seeing that Shang Jiexi's face was not very good-looking, Wu Zan hurriedly explained, "Comment, it may be because of the weather, and it is not necessary that they are lost!" Now the weather is still bitterly cold, the ice and snow have not melted, and the spring grass has not yet sprouted, and at this time, it is impossible for the Tang army to enter Qinghai!"

"No, there must be some other reason for this!" Shang Jiexi did not agree with Wu Zan's inference, his intuition after years of fighting made him smell the danger approaching, he immediately sat up straight, and ordered: "Wu Zan Ruben, you immediately order the headquarters to strengthen the vigilance, and at the same time send more scouts to find out the movements of the Tang army, and as soon as there is information, immediately report to this great theory!" It is very likely that the scouts were attacked and killed by the elite men and horses of the Tang army. ”

"Yes, Dazhuo, the subordinates will execute it immediately!" Wu Zan bowed and retreated, feeling relieved.

Shang Jiexi's position in Tubo is a great treatise, and the great argument is a position second only to Zampu, and his prestige in Tubo is incomparable, even if Ruben like Wu Zan is cautious about his affairs. In fact, this suspicion Wu Zan arose yesterday, but he was afraid that Shang Jiexi would scold, so he had the courage to come over to report the matter after hesitating for a day, because this matter was too important! Shang Jiexi didn't blame him, this Wu Zan was relieved, and after returning to his big tent, he immediately gathered his subordinates and asked the generals to be on strict guard, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the surrounding situation.

After Wu Zan left, Shang Jiexi was not interested in listening to the music and dancing anymore, so he walked two steps in the tent with a little irritability and stopped, turned to his son Xinor, who was still standing in place and did not move, and shouted: "Xinnuoer, you also go back to the camp immediately, and order your subordinates to strengthen their vigilance, and don't be careless...... Don't forget, our opponent is Yang Xi, and this person who captured An Lushan alive will make any moves that we can't think of!"

"Yes, father, the child understands!" After saluting, he walked out quickly.

Looking at the still shaking door curtain, Shang Jiexi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he said to himself: "Yang Xi, do you really dare to lead the army to attack in such weather?" Aren't you afraid that there will be no return? (To be continued......)
