Chapter 50 The overall layout

readx;

The fire burned all night, because of the lack of timely and effective rescue, many flammable materials took advantage of the situation, burned more and more, and in the end it was impossible to control it at all, and could only watch all the materials burn down.

Most of the houses near the warehouse were also affected by the pond fish, so that the incense of the moon was burned out.

However, because the warehouse fire burned first, the people nearby were awakened, but the number of casualties was not large.

But just like Yuan Cao's official crossing, this fire became a turning point in the war.

The fire burned so vigorously that it shook the entire city, and even the Tang army outside the city knew the news for the first time.

However, the information they got was not so accurate, and they only learned through special channels that the savings warehouse in Logos City was on fire.

After Luo Tong and Xue Rengui heard the news, they immediately gathered together and discussed the matter.

"It's amazing, the chief manager is really amazing...... I really don't know how the chief manager did it......" Xue Rengui exclaimed, although there was no factual evidence that all this was related to Du He, he had already guessed that Du He was the real person behind the scenes, and the mastermind behind all this.

Luo Tong was both surprised, but also felt that it was a matter of course, the accident happened, but also because he witnessed too many miracles by Du He's side, some things that should have been strange did not feel strange, he danced his fist and said: "The warehouse was burned, I believe that the current Luo Qi City must be in chaos, it is an opportunity, why don't we attack the city now?" ā€

"It's not right......," Xue Rengui muttered, "I don't think the purpose of the chief manager sending us here is definitely not as simple as attacking the city...... What's more, even if we attack the city at this moment, even if we can take advantage of it, we may not be able to take some Luo before Songtsen Gampo arrives. Even if we can take the logo, it will come at a huge cost. This is not the same way the Grand Governor fights. The chief manager is good at scheming, such as the Han Xin accident, and likes to use stratagem to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest results. I don't think the purpose of his asking us to come here is just to let us attack the city, it must have a deep meaning, but we didn't understand it. ā€

Luo Tong felt a big headache, rubbed his temples vigorously and said: "I can guess what the chief manager thinks, really, just say it directly." ā€

Xue Rengui's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he said with a smile: "This is the good intentions of the chief manager, he is to exercise our independent ability." I believe that he has a back hand, and when we have nothing to do, he will let people tell us the intention of fighting. But it really comes to that point, which means that we can't do it, and we can only act as his right and left hand under the command of the general manager, and we can't really become a general in charge of ourselves. ā€

Luo Tong heard this, and his expression became serious.

This soldier who does not want to be a general, is not a good soldier. Similarly, a general who does not want to be a commander is not a good general. Luo Tong and Xue Rengui both have the tools of Wei Qing and Huo Quai, and they also have the ambition to take on one side alone, so they immediately buried their heads in hard work.

Xue Rengui's intelligence and ability were all above Luo Tong, and his thoughts turned extremely quickly, and he muttered: "The chief manager is not interested in Luo City, is it in the troops of Songtsen Gampo...... Yes......" He said with a light in his eyes: "Songtsen Gampo is worried that some cities will inevitably come in a hurry. Our army is recuperating in order to attack Luo. With a recuperating army, face the tired journey from afar. Even if there is no superiority in troops, it can still intercept them. When the army of the Grand Governor arrives, the troops will be flanked in front and back, and the Tibetan will be defeated, that is, on the same day. ā€

After thinking about it, Xue Rengui thought he had a plan, but he didn't say it, and was waiting for Luo Tong to think about it himself.

Luo Tong is also a wise and brave general, and after pondering for a long time, he also figured out the key, and said with a smile: "It turned out that it was this idea, I said, how could the chief manager move some thoughts for no reason, it turned out that he wanted to flank Songtsen Gampo." Since the Grand Steward believes in us so much, we must not disgrace him. In this way, Rengui, you lead the army to intercept Songtsen Gampo, and as for the garrison of the city, hand it over to me, a thousand soldiers are enough. "The most important thing about this approach is that before the Duho army arrives, they will be the first to be flanked. How to survive this attack, that is the hardest.

Luo Tong knew that Xue Rengui's ability was above him, so he asked him to lead a large army against Songtsen Gampo. He will deal with the 5,000 defenders who may go out of the city to cooperate with Songtsen Gampo.

Xue Rengui did not refuse, he really wanted to fight with Songtsen Gampo, a great power that rose in Tibet.

When the news of the burning of the two warehouses of Luoshu Qucang and Yongcang reached the ears of Songtsen Gampo, the southwestern overlord was stunned, stood stupidly for a long time, and then came back to his senses, and said with a little lost soul: "Good means, good means." ā€

Songtsen Gampo knew that he had already been defeated, and he was completely defeated in the face of Duhe, who was not much different in age from him.

"Zampu, what should we do next?" Asking this question is Songtsen Gampo's beloved general Geldan, the violent Tibetan general at this moment, and in the face of this situation, he is also a little masterless. None of the generals who can be a general of an army are fools, even Gerdan, who doesn't like to use his brains, knows what the concept of the economic lifeline is burning.

Songtsen Gampo forced himself to remain calm and pondered: "There is no need to go to the Luo area, even if you can break through the Tang army on the other side of the Luo Dynasty, there is no food in the city, and if you go, you will go to a dead end and let the Tang army be trapped in the city." He gritted his teeth and said, "Order the whole army to turn to the southwest and join the Qinling troops." "There is not much grain and grass he carries, and there is no food and grass support in the surrounding towns, only where there is still some surplus grain in Qinling, which is defending against the Zhangxiong Kingdom.

At this time, Songtsen Gampo realized that the decision he had prided himself to be brilliant had become the decision that had put him to death at this moment.

"What about Logic?" Hearing Songtsen Gampo's order, many generals shouted dissatisfied.

Logos is their capital, and it is also their home. Once they gave up Luo, it was impossible to resist the Tang army of hundreds of thousands with only the 5,000 defenders of Luo. As long as they fall, it means that their families will become captives, prisoners of the ranks.

Although the Tang Dynasty still waited for captives, captives were captives, and it was impossible to raise them unconditionally like their fathers and mothers, and they had to suffer bitterness. Because of his own incompetence, he made his family suffer, which is a fact that even the old men can't accept.

"Zampu, we should kill back and kill all the Tang people with our swords, this is our capital, our home, and we can't give it up." One of the generals shouted loudly, his eyes reddening.

His words sparked public approval.

Songtsen Gampo also reddened his eyes and said sharply: "I understand, there are your families, but why don't you have my family and sons?" Your queen is also in Logos now. I don't want to just give up if I could. What if you don't give up? There is no food in the city, and our army will not last for a month. As long as the grain and grass are exhausted, we will be prisoners, and your family will become prisoners. They are forced to accompany other men, and no one can change them. But as long as we are still here, the Tang army will not be considered a victory, and they will not dare to do anything to our families, and we will have a chance to save them. Soldiers, I, Songtsen Gampo, am here to vouch for my honor, and I will definitely expel the Tang Army and reunite you with your families. ā€

Songtsen Gampo was still very prestigious in the hearts of the Tibetan soldiers, and when he said this, the emotions of the generals were also calmed.

Songtsen Gampo also breathed a sigh of relief for this, and said: "Pass my military order, the three armies move quickly, and meet with the Qinling Department ......" He has not yet said the word "he", his expression is moved, this Du He wisdom is unparalleled, step by step, step by step to calculate his own actions, digging holes, let himself drill, he can calculate his own return to the army first, and send a general to intercept himself before this, is it not accurate about his retreat route? If this step is really achieved and an ambush is set up on the way between our army and Qinling, then won't our army fall into a Jedi of attacking from three sides?

With this in mind, Songtsen Gampo whispered: "Slow down, go east, and give the order to the whole army, go east." "As long as you avoid this catastrophe and remain undefeated, the two trump cards in your hand still have a chance to win.

Barracks of the Don Army.

Tanma had already informed Duhe of Songtsen Gampo's actions.

Du He had a calm smile on his face, listening quietly, and he didn't feel strange at all.

Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda, Liu Lan, Xin Fang'er, Liu Boying and other generals are now somewhat convinced of Du He, since the sovereignty transposition of the war situation between Tang and Tu, they have all shocked Du He's interlocking layout, and they all understand the depth of Du He's layout, which is unimaginable. What he's missing now is a big win to prove that his set-up has worked perfectly.

Zhang Liang shouted regretfully, but it was a pity.

He already knew Du He's overall layout, and knew that Du He planned to set up an ambush on the way from Songtsen Gampo to the Qinling Department, and use the ambush army, the main army, and the Luo Tong Department to present a triangular situation, surround the Tubo army, and eat this piece of fat in one fell swoop.

Seeing that this goal was about to be achieved, Songtsen Gampo escaped from the encirclement, which is really regrettable.

Du He said disapprerovitically: "It's okay, there are many opportunities, and he escaped the dead knot, which means that the Qinling Department has fallen into death...... Deputy General Manager Zhang, you lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to march on the same day, and attack Luo Tong and Xue Rengui with the troops of Luo Qicheng. I will take the rest of the troops and go to meet the Tibetan God of War......"

Du He uses soldiers to re-plot, the best layout, and the layout is dead-knotted and interlocking.

Since he realized the Achilles' heel of Tibetan materials, Duhe launched a layout, using Luo Tong and Xue Rengui to force Songtsen Gampo to withdraw his troops. The first dead knot is the pincer tactic that Xue Rengui thinks, and the second dead knot is the three-way pincer attack detected by Songtsen Gampo, and the third dead knot is the Qinling Department.

Because there is the Luotong Department in the south, the main army of Duhe in the north, and the ambush of the Tang Army in the west, that is, the direction in which the Qinling Department is located.

If Songtsen Gampo wants to escape the death knot, he can only go east, which means that he is getting farther and farther away from the Qinling Ministry, and the Qinling Ministry, which will fall into a lonely death.

Even if Songtsen Gampo escaped the dead knot, the Qinling Department and Luo would let the Tang army eat it.

No matter how Songtsen Gampu goes, he can't escape the Tang army's gains, and it is inseparable from Du He's calculations......
