==============

Yang Xi announced in a very majestic voice: "Now announce the decision of the commander: after the army rests in Lanzhou for five days, it will immediately march in the direction of Qinghai, and after passing through Shanzhou City, it will immediately divide its troops to attack, and before the Tubo people can react, they will be completely defeated or annihilated!"

Yang Xi's brief order shocked the generals, and no one could have imagined that Yang Xi's appetite was so great that he wanted to wipe out the Tubo people in Qinghai. Does our army have the ability to eat all the Tubo people in Qinghai? Except for Yang Xi, none of the other generals had a bottom in their hearts.

However, Wang Sili, Pang Zhong, Gao Shi and other generals who had been following Yang Xi during the counterinsurgency immediately threw away their suspicions, and they had seen the strong combat effectiveness shown by Yang Xi when he commanded his men and horses when he conquered Shaanxi County and Luoyang during the counterinsurgency, as well as the brilliant achievements when he attacked Sun Xiaozhe, and tens of thousands of people were wiped out in an instant. The combat power of the Tubo people is not necessarily stronger than that of the rebels in An Lushan, and now the Tang army has undergone systematic training, and the army is equipped with more firearms, and the Tubo people have never seen the power of firearms, and everything can happen.

Yang Xi saw the reaction of the generals, he didn't have any surprises, and he didn't pay attention to their astonishment, and continued to give orders.

"Ben Shuai's arrangement is as follows!" Yang Xi picked up the baton as he spoke, pointed to the direction in which several Tubo heavy troops were stationed on the large sand table he proposed to make, and ordered: "Gu Huai'en, the former army commander, led 25,000 people from the southwest direction of the river meander, directly bypassed Kushan, and raided the Tubo army stationed in Mantou Mountain. Pang Zhong, the commander of the Qinghai Road march, led 20,000 men to march west from the north side of the river meander, and attacked Kushan head-on. General Li Baoyu, the deputy commander, led 15,000 men to assist in the attack, and it was necessary to capture Kushan as soon as possible. Wang Sili, the head of the Chihaidao march, led 20,000 men along the valley of the Yellow River and led his troops to directly sweep over Mantou Mountain and attack in the direction of Chihai. Strive to rendezvous with General Fugu Huaien in the area of the Red Sea. Generals Chen Huiguang and Hao Tingyu each led 15,000 men to detour from the Yellow River valley to the back of the Dafei River. Ben Shuai led the rest of the troops and horses to advance head-on, and we must capture the front line of Dafeichuan as soon as possible!"

Yang Xi's current arrangement is. Concentrate superior people and horses, and take Mantou Mountain and Kushan Mountain as the breakthrough point. After tearing through the defense line of the Tubo people, he directly attacked the hinterland of Qinghai, and the strategic arrangement was similar to that of Li Jing's attack on Tuyuhun that year. In the fortresses of the Tubo people on the north bank of Qinghai, he just sent the border troops of various states to contain them and prevent them from going south to rescue. After the Tubo people in the hinterland of Qinghai are resolved, they will turn back to clean up the Tubo army on the north bank of Qinghai. As long as the Tibetan troops on the south side of Qinghai are cleaned up, the remaining Tibetan people will not be afraid at all. Qinghai is the world of the Tang army.

Yang Xi didn't think that the Tubo people were a difficult bone to gnaw, so his mouth was wide open.

The movement of Fugu Huai'en's men and horses was the most crucial, and Yang Xi's arrangement was to make them directly cross the mountain and insert themselves in a direction that the Tubo people did not expect. Raid Mantou Mountain. As long as Mantou Mountain is occupied, the gate to enter the hinterland of Qinghai will be completely opened, and more than 100,000 horses will all break into the south side of Qinghai and engage the main force of the Tubo army, without even the main force participating. The Tibetans may have been defeated.

According to the situation known in advance, the Tubo people only have more than 10,000 garrisons in these places guarding the gateway of Qinghai, and the army of the Tubo headquarters is mainly assembled on the front line of Dafeichuan. Yang Xi's plan was to capture Kushan, Chiling, and Mantou Mountain, and after opening the gateway to the hinterland of Qinghai, he personally led his headquarters to penetrate directly into Dafeichuan and fight a decisive battle with Shang's army.

The area around Dafeichuan is the most important place for the Tubo people to garrison. Back then, Xue Rengui I was ruined in Dafeichuan, and this time Yang Xi wanted to create another glory in Dafeichuan and comfort this famous general. He hoped that after the war, the influence of the Tibetans in Qinghai would be completely eliminated

"Ben will respect the commander's order!" Several of the generals who had been entrusted with the most difficult task stepped up to the tent in unison, saluted and answered in a loud voice. Yang Xi's arrangement made them immediately understand what the strategic arrangement made by the young commander was. Yang Xi's appetite is really very big, he just wants to catch the Tubo people by surprise through a quick raid by a few people, and wipe them out when the Tubo people are defeated, or drive them out of Qinghai. They also understood the burden on their shoulders, and the few people who came out to answer the order all had solemn expressions when they saluted.

They knew how heavy the burden was on their shoulders, and they also knew perfectly well that if they won the victory, it might be a fatal blow to the Tibetans.

However, they were also quite surprised, originally thought that Yang Xi would ask them how to fight next, and the generals would discuss it before making arrangements. Unexpectedly, Yang Xi directly issued a combat order. It turned out that the young commander had already made arrangements for how to fight, and he had no intention of asking the generals at all. This made some people feel uncomfortable, and felt that Yang Xi was too arbitrary.

However, they also have to admit that the arrangement made by Yang Xi is indeed very bold and ruthless, very amazing, and of course, the degree of adventure is also high. But as long as they succeed, or even as long as they succeed in a few of them, the Tibetans will suffer heavy losses, or even be completely defeated.

Yang Xi's several arrangements are not completely linked, but no matter which way the attack target of the men and horses is, it is linked to the attack strategy of the main army led by himself, and in the time of battle, further arrangements can be made according to the battlefield situation.

For example, if any of the men and horses attack successfully, he can send men and horses to respond, if any way of men and horses attack unfavorably, you can avoid that place, that is, pinch soft persimmons, and the ultimate goal is to attack the hinterland of Qinghai with as many men and horses as possible.

The attack of men and horses in several directions is a breakthrough, unless any of the men and horses along the way are not successful, otherwise our army can quickly attack the front line of Dafeichuan where the Tubo army has accumulated. As long as the Tubo people in Dafeichuan are not supported, then the victory in this battle will be complete.

Thinking that it is very likely that he can defeat the Tubo people living in Qinghai, which general is not passionate?

Yang Xi did not continue to give orders, but paced in front of these generals who were ordered to be listed, and said very seriously: "Everyone, whether your task can be completed or not is the key to victory in this battle. This commander hopes that you will fulfill your duties, rush to the death, break through the defense line of the Tubo people before they can react, and annihilate the Tubo army you encounter. Only when you open the passage into the hinterland of Qinghai can the army led by the commander himself enter the area south of Qinghai and heavily defended by the Tubo people without hindrance, and deal a fatal blow to Shang Jiexi. ”

Yang Xi paused, and then shouted in a very majestic voice: "If there is any team that does not completely intersperse the task of attacking, and cannot reach the designated area within the specified time, Hugh blames the military law of this commander." ”

"If you have completed the task excellently, Ben Shuai will personally ask for credit for you in front of His Majesty the Emperor!" Yang Xi's last words restrained a little majesty, but his face was still solemn.

"Please rest assured, the last general will fight to the death to kill the enemy and swear to drive the Tubo people out of Qinghai!"

The generals responded in unison, and the sound was so loud that Yang Xi's eardrums were buzzing.

"Each general will immediately make preparations, how to march and fight, each will consider it in detail, and then report to the commander, before the end of the rest, the commander must see your battle plan!" Yang Xi said, causing all the generals to disperse.

He did not want to convene all the generals and discuss the situation in detail in all aspects, he only wanted the generals to report the specific battle plan to him, and then communicate with them separately if he felt that something was wrong.

The generals didn't dare to stay any longer, and those generals who felt Yang Xi's decisiveness in killing again or for the first time quickly left Yang Xi's big tent, gathered their respective subordinates, and discussed the next arrangements. They knew not to think about fooling Yang Xi with any messy things, everything had to be done in a down-to-earth manner. For the sake of victory in the war, they did not dare to have any sloppiness.

However, Gao Shi stayed, and he had some worries to talk to Yang Xi.

"Marshal, the last general is a little worried, if we divide our troops to attack like this, if the Tubo people are aware of it, the battle will be very difficult!"

"Adventures can sometimes be rewarded in the unexpected!" Yang Xi smiled, "The Tubo people definitely didn't expect our army to attack it before the weather was warm, they can't find out too much about our army, we will definitely be able to launch an attack by surprise, this commander believes that the glory of the counterinsurgency will definitely be replicated in Qinghai!"

Yang Xi was very confident, he believed that the Tubo people could not resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty army, which was equipped with brand new firearms and had just experienced the war. According to the current situation, the Tubo people did not find out that our Tang army was already equipped with firearms, and the Tubo people did not find out much about the many battles in the An Lushan rebellion, Yang Xi believed that when the grenades and explosives were used against the Tubo people for the first time, the Tubo people would be frightened, and they were likely to be defeated in an instant. Even if you can't scare the Tibetans to death, it's enough to frighten their war horses!

Also, the war horses of the Tang army have all been equipped with horseshoe, and the war horse nailed to the horse can gallop on the Qinghai Plateau without any scruples, even if it enters the desert, it can also run quickly, and there is no need to worry about the horse's hooves sinking into the sand and affecting the speed, and worrying about the horse being injured as a result, and the Tubo people still have no change in this regard, this alone is enough to constitute an overwhelming advantage for the Tubo people.

The generals under his command are not ordinary people, these people who are very famous in history, Yang Xi does not believe that they will be very incompetent.

Our army has so many advantages, how can it not win?
