Datang, Bianguan, Liangzhou.

A group of soldiers lazily stood guard at the city gates, apparently careless. And Liangzhou belongs to the border, but this border is different from later generations. During the Tang Dynasty, China was the most powerful power in the world, and there were definitely not many people in the East who dared to stroke the beard of the Tang Dynasty. And here they are, they are already on the verge of the Western Regions, and there are not many big countries in the Western Regions at all. The current Western Regions, that is, the Western Turks, are more powerful. However, they heard that the internal strife of the Western Turks was very strong, and it had reached the point where there was often internal friction. Therefore, it is unlikely that the Western Turks will attack. In this way, these soldiers also began to slack off. Since they are slacking off, they will naturally be a little careless. And they had no idea that a relatively strong enemy was coming soon.

"Kill!" A group of people rushed over with weapons, and immediately rushed over in the face of the city wall of Liangzhou.

"Dangdangdang......" "Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"

On the city of Liangzhou, there was a mess immediately, and it was obviously very busy. However, they immediately organized themselves to defend themselves, apparently preparing here to resist the enemy.

"Who's coming? Is it Tuyuhun? Someone asked.

"It's not like it, it's not like their clothes! But where did they come from? Could it be that Tuyuhun will lend the Tao to others? Someone also wondered.

And this soldier's words were really right, Songtsen Gampo also borrowed the road to Tuyuhun, and then led the army to the land of Guò Tuyuhun, and then came to Liangzhou. And Liangzhou is almost the westernmost place in the Tang Dynasty, and it can almost be said to be the only way to the Western Regions, once Liangzhou falls, the merchants of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to go to the Western Regions to do business. This Songtsan Gampo can be said to have hit the seven inches of Datang, if Liangzhou is conquered, then I am afraid that Datang will be heartbroken.

Songtsen Gampo did not attack from the Sichuan and Shu generation in the south, but instead attacked Liangzhou by using Dao Tuyuhun, which was obviously well prepared.

"Attack! Give me offense! This is Liangzhou. There are a lot of Tang Dynasty merchants, as long as we conquer Liangzhou, then I'm afraid we can snatch their things. When the time comes, we're really going to get rich! Hahahaha! Songtsen Gampo shouted.

Of course, Songtsen Gampo knew that during this period of trade in the Western Regions of Liangzhou, a steady stream of merchants set out from the hinterland and then transit through Liangzhou, so that Liangzhou would stay a lot of business travel. And once these business trips are robbed, I am afraid that they can make a fortune. In fact, the financial pressure in Tibet is still very huge, since there is an opportunity to start looting. Of course, you can't miss it. Moreover, if the road of Liangzhou can be blocked, then I am afraid that it will be able to obtain a steady stream of benefits, especially the goods of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty.

"It's a Tibetan person!" "They are Tibetans!" "How did the Tibetans come to us?"

Obviously, the soldiers of Liangzhou are also familiar with Tubo, so they know that the Tubo people actually attack Liangzhou by means of Tuyuhun, which is obviously a bit strange. So, they were surprised.

"Attack!" Songtsen Gampo shouted.

And the soldiers in Liangzhou immediately shouted: "I can't stand it." Hurry up and ask for help from the Western Army! ”

The armies stationed in the city were ordinary garrisons, not specialized field armies, and were mainly composed of militia soldiers who were not in the slack time. The Western Army is different, they belong to the field army. The combat effectiveness of the field army is much higher than theirs. Therefore, when they encountered danger, they could only ask for help from the Western Army.

Some people hurriedly broke through the siege, apparently rushing to Lanzhou, because Lanzhou was the location of the commander's tent of the Western Army. According to the previous plan. In fact, there were four armies in the west, east, and north in the south, which were actually military regions in later generations, and they were not armies determined by numbers in the real sense. The goal of the Western Army was the Western Regions. And in the Longyou Road of Datang, it is actually their defensive range. The headquarters of the Western Army was set up in Lanzhou, so they all wanted to rush to Lanzhou.

After a day and a night of rushing, those who had already broken through rushed to Lanzhou. And they soon met the eldest grandson Shunde, who was in charge of managing the Western Army, that is, the cousin of the eldest grandson Empress and the eldest grandson Wuji.

"General Changsun, hurry up and send troops over to support! If it's late, then I'm afraid Liangzhou is really going to fall. The soldier in charge of calling for help shouted.

But the eldest grandson Shunde said: "No! If you want to transfer troops, you must have the emperor's edict, and if I don't have an edict, I can't transfer troops! ”

According to the previous regulations, if the local field troops wanted to mobilize more than 500 soldiers, they needed the emperor's holy decree and military talismans. But now because of the suddenness of the incident, where could Li Shimin send the talisman and the holy decree? Therefore, this eldest grandson Shunde is also very waxy, because if he transfers troops without authorization, he is afraid that he will be suspected of rebellion, so he does not dare to transfer troops to support. But Liangzhou is in danger, so he also has a headache.

And a young staff officer next to him took the initiative to say: "General Changsun, let's hurry up and transfer troops to support, and strive to defeat the Tubo people." As long as we can defeat the Tibetans, that is not a big problem. The emperor is wise, and he will not blame you for exceeding the system. What's more, rescuing soldiers is like fighting fires, if you go late, then I'm afraid Liangzhou will really fall. ”

But the eldest grandson Shunde said: "Pei Xingjian, how can you guarantee that the emperor will not blame me?" ”

This is Pei Xingjian, since he graduated from the military academy, he came to the Western Army. Later, he was favored by the eldest grandson Shunde, and then chose to become a senior staff officer of the headquarters of the Western Army, which was considered a promotion. And now Pei Xingjian saw the hesitation of the eldest grandson Shunde, so he immediately took the initiative to persuade him to quickly transfer troops. But he didn't expect that the eldest grandson Shunde would be so timid.

And the eldest grandson Shunde asked Pei Xingjian whether Emperor Li Shimin would blame the eldest grandson Shunde for transferring troops without authorization, in fact, this Pei Xingjian is not absolutely confident in his heart. So, he couldn't answer.

"Even if it's hot, you can't be sure, so it's better to send someone to Chang'an to ask for the emperor's will, as well as the military talisman!" The eldest grandson Shunde said.

And Pei Xingjian immediately scolded in his heart: "Why did the emperor send such a fool to be the envoy of the Western Army?" Isn't he a veteran? Why is there so little courage? Isn't it nonsense to ask for the emperor's approval to send a letter to Chang'an? When the emperor's decree comes, I'm afraid the daylilies will really be cold. ”

"General, hurry up and transfer troops!" The soldier who called for help cried again.

"No, without the emperor's will and military talismans, I can't transfer troops without authorization! Otherwise, it is a rebellion! The eldest grandson Shunde said. (To be continued......)
