Hou Jun said helplessly: "General, this is too difficult, if you look for it like this, it is better to sneak back to Luoshu City, and capture a few of Songtsen Gampo's cronies in the palace and torture them, maybe you can find it faster." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, looking for it aimlessly, my head hurts, yo, my old leg." Zhao Fu was also a little overwhelmed.

When a person is interested in a certain kind of work, he will become extremely focused, and he will not be tired for a long time, on the contrary, when a person is not interested in something, then he will have an inexplicable sense of anxiety and inner resistance, which will lead to a sense of fatigue.

Qian Weiqiang, who rarely spoke, suddenly said: "General, my subordinates have an idea. ”

"Oh, you say."

Qian Weiqiang hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Those tunnels, it is estimated that they will not be very big, at least it is impossible to run horses and cars in them, Tubo is a plateau, if there is really a secret road, the secret road cannot be infinitely long, out of the secret road, he has to escape, if he escapes, it is impossible to use two legs, if so, then he must have a horse, why don't we check, near the city, there are many good horses in captivity, especially those who have not migrated for a long time, it is very likely that Songtsen Gampo established a secret stronghold." ”

"That's right" Guan Yong patted his thigh violently and said: "That Songtsan Gampo is not a three-headed and six-armed, let alone flying away, and we definitely need a horse to run, as long as we make a fuss about the horse, there will definitely be clues." ”

Liu Yuan's eyes also lit up, this idea is good, he heard that there was a secret passage, and all his thoughts went into the secret passage, and he only cared about letting them find in some possible places, and they all got to the tip of the horns. But ignoring one of the most important issues, the exit is dead, but people are alive, as long as they find the right direction, no matter how tightly they are hidden, they will be exposed.

Everyone applauded, and Liu Yuan also said happily: "Well, yes, Captain Qian, you have made a great contribution." ”

"General. If you have made great contributions, are there any rewards? Qian Weiqiang suddenly rubbed his hands and said.

"Reward you with a big leg of mutton, are you satisfied" Liu Yuan laughed and joked with this old subordinate.

Qian Weiqiang said with a smile: "No, it's just not rewarded." It's not impossible for a small one to eat a leg of mutton. ”

"And what do you want?"

"Lele who is looking for a mother" Qian Weiqiang is an old man in the army. In such informal settings. Laughing, I reminded this kind of request.

Liu Yuan knew that Qian Weiqiang was a sullen man, and most of the money he earned as a soldier went into the hands of the brothel in the Qinglou. It can be said that "there are countless women", in the Yangwei Army, Liu Yuan, who has several beautiful wives and concubines, is the first romantic figure, and Qian Weiqiang is jokingly called the first obscene person. This guy actually asked for a beautiful woman to be given to him in public, and he really wanted to be beautiful.

"This, now the camp is full of gentlemen, where is the mother for you, go back to Chang'an." Liu Yuan said angrily.

"The general can do anything, as long as the general wants to, there is nothing he can't do."

Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "As long as the mother's?" ”

"Yes"

"Cough" Liu Yuan deliberately cleared his throat, and then said seriously: "Tangshan"

Tangshan didn't expect Liu Yuan to call him suddenly, and he was so frightened that he immediately stood up and said loudly: "To"

"After eating in a while, you go and pick a ewe and send it to our Captain Qian's tent, well, get a tender one."

"Hahaha"

Everyone first froze for a moment, and then laughed one by one, and some of them still held their stomachs and laughed, laughing so much that their stomachs hurt, that Qian Weiqiang's face was so dry that he couldn't wait to find some cracks in the ground to get into, and begged for mercy to Liu Yuan and everyone again and again, but he didn't expect that he was joking, so that he couldn't raise his head.

When everyone was tired of laughing, Liu Yuan motioned for everyone to calm down, and then said seriously: "Marching and fighting, that is playing with life, you may die at any time, you can't be careless at all, how you usually play with women, I don't care, but when fighting, my subordinates can't touch women, so as not to only care about pleasure, the army's heart is scattered, and the color is a knife that scrapes bones, understand?" ”

Seeing that Liu Yuan was serious, they all responded with a serious face, Qian Weiqiang wanted to say that Liu Yuan had forced the overlord of Tubo on the bow when he went on the expedition, laughing at his own injustice, and wanted to talk about others, but as soon as his mouth came to his mouth, he swallowed it again.

A superior, a subordinate, really do this, ask for hardship, or forget it, who calls the status too disparity?

Liu Yuan nodded, and then began to arrange tomorrow's search work, which was nothing more than dividing people into several groups, finding suspicious targets in several directions, etc., which was not a very difficult task, and Liu Yuan quickly completed the assignment.

After assigning the task, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and while drinking the delicious mutton soup, he asked casually: "What is the battle situation now?" ”

Hundreds of thousands of troops, around the city of Luo, to the death, the shouting of killing, the sound of fire, no matter day or night, is so dense, on the battlefield, the king is defeated, as long as the victory can be achieved, it can be said that everything can be done, encounters, ambush battles, night raids, covenant battles, bloody battles, etc., are staged every day, Liu Yuan and his party are dressed in disguise, fortunately, the Tubo people are not the enemy, come to the Tang army, and show their identity as soon as possible, every day to strengthen the vigilance and strengthen, it is still very nourishing.

However, Liu Yuan cared about the progress of the war every day, after all, this was a major event related to the rise and fall of the country.

Guan Yong said with some regret in some excitement: "Last night, General Li Jing set up an empty camp plan, killing and wounding most of the more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers who attacked at night, only a small part escaped, I heard that the enemy's main general Lun Qinling was also wounded by an arrow, but unfortunately his personal guards were too loyal and desperately protected him out, otherwise, this is another great achievement, Guan Mou was not at the scene, it is a pity." ”

"General Cheng Lao, together with the two generals Niu Duan, with the help of the fire team, after a day and a night of bloody battles, broke through more than 30,000 enemy troops with 8,000 people, chased and killed more than 30 miles, ambushed corpses all over the field, and greatly raised the military prestige of our Tang army." Zhao Fu said happily.

Wei Chi Baoqing frowned and said: "General Hou encountered the Tubo army, was injured by a hidden arrow in the right arm, and was surrounded by soldiers. ”

Everyone was talking about the news that they naturally inquired about. In general, the Tang Army won more and lost less, and the situation was very good.

With adequate preparation, sufficient food and grass, and the introduction of new weapons, a round of firearms knocked out the sharp spirit of the Tibetan soldiers, which made the Tibetan generals very depressed, because they could not find a suitable way to crack it, and they showed a one-sided trend on the battlefield.

If it weren't for the two great purges and civil strife, Tubo would not have been so embarrassed, and it would not have been defeated so quickly, and its strength would not have been as good as that of Datang. In addition, under Liu Yuan's instigation, the bereaved families such as Subi and Gongbu continued to sabotage in the rear, resulting in frequent fires in the backyard. The Tuyuhun coalition army also attacked fearlessly under Li Er's promise. In the end, he was defeated in the highland area where he was best at it. Maybe this is the law of prosperity and decline.

Perhaps, it is also called that if you don't die, you won't die.

"It seems that Tubo won't be able to last long" Liu Yuan stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Everyone, we must also step up our actions, otherwise, we will not be able to catch up with this feast." ”

Guan Yong and the others stood up all at once. "Yes, General"

With an obvious target, in less than three days, the Yangwei army secretly found two suspicious targets.

On a hillside. Liu Yuan crawled on the grass, holding his clairvoyant eyes to watch, and Hou Jun explained on the side: "General, this herdsman is the most suspicious, a family of twelve, there are eight strong men, in exchange for ordinary people, they have long been transferred to the army, and they have raised dozens of high-quality horses, each of which is smooth and shiny, and the subordinates sneaked in in the middle of the night to see, feeding them all essence, and sent people to pretend to be horse dealers, but I didn't expect that as soon as I opened my mouth, I let them blow them away, which is very suspicious." ”

Liu Yuan listened and nodded, in the telescope, Liu Yuan saw that those tents, farm tools and other things were no different from ordinary herdsmen, but when those people were standing, they stood very straight, and when they walked, they were extremely stable.

The environment can change, the identity can change, but some behaviors and habits cannot be easily changed.

Liu Yuan put down his clairvoyance, patted Hou Jun's shoulder and said, "From now on, twelve hours a day, I want someone to guard here, and if there is any trouble, notify me immediately." ”

"Yes, General."

May 27th, this is a day worth remembering, after the rush to cross the Tibetan River, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo fought a bloody battle outside the city of Luo for more than a month, both sides paid a great price, the endless battle, so that for a long time, the plateau was surrounded by a smell of blood, this place known as a paradise, has been replaced by desire and killing, fortunately, the turning point finally appeared.

It is Li Jing, the god of war.

Li Jing set up an empty camp plan, lured Qin Ling to attack at night, and when he fell into the trap, he was surrounded heavily, and in one fell swoop hit his more than 10,000 descendant elites, not only that, but Qin Ling was hit by an arrow in the chest, although it was not his life, but it also hit him hard, thus greatly hitting the morale of Tubo, that is, he was wounded, the morale of the Tubo soldiers plummeted, and the army was forced to retreat to the city of Luo to defend without a general, and the other soldiers of the Tubo army saw that the main general returned to the city, and they had no intention of fighting, and they retreated to the city of Luo City, thus being surrounded by the Tang Army.

This is the role of the coach, this is the effect of the famous general, if used well, it is like a tiger with wings, on the contrary, a big loss of morale, although the main general of the Tang Dynasty Hou Junji was also injured, but in addition to Hou Junji, the general is also in Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Lao Demon King, Niu Jinda, Duan Zhixuan and other famous generals, no matter which one, the qualifications and fame are not worse than Hou Junji, and quickly stabilize the morale of the army, not to mention that the Tang army has always had the upper hand, and the situation in Tubo is different, not only has it been at a disadvantage, but it has been defeated and retreated under the attack of the fire gun, with the fall of famous generals such as Shang Xiang and ZanpoThe only remaining theoretical Qinling is the spiritual pillar of the army.

But when this spiritual pillar was also injured and fell, the morale can be imagined.

The soldiers are in the city, and victory is in sight. (To be continued......)
