"How?"

Looking at the dense banners of the army and the long dragon of torches that could not be seen at a glance, Tian Bu said to the Song Dynasty with some pride. At this time, they were on a mountain bag dozens of miles away from the army. There was a faint morning star in the sky, and the white of the fish's belly had appeared in the east, and the lights in the torch dragon had gradually been extinguished. Song Chao smiled:

"Tonight, Shang Tazang's scouting horses are busy."

At this time, it was already late spring in Kannai, but Hexi was still an early spring scene. In the cold season of spring, it is still cold in the morning and evening, but the team braves the spring cold, sleeps in the evening and gets up early, and advances rapidly. Now, the report from Shang Tazang has become * advancing dozens of miles, and there are * a large number of military horses in the army. It is estimated that Shang Tazang has now judged that this is a very mobile army, and he is feeling a lot of pressure, right?

However, Shang Tazang would never have dreamed that the real killer move was not in this huge army. As Shang Tazang estimated, this army was by no means forty or fifty thousand men, but less than ten thousand. Not only are there less than 10,000 people, but it is still far from 10,000 people, but only 3,000 people.

With only 3,000 people dressed up as an army of 40,000 or 50,000, it was really difficult for them, but it was difficult for Tian Bu. When the first reinforcements of Sha Chali and the second reinforcements led by the Song Dynasty and Tian Bu successively circled behind Zhangye and began to advance rapidly, the increasingly large news of truth and falsehood also reached the ears of *. For example, Yumen Pass has been captured by Shang Tazang, and the * army guarding Yumen Pass has been wiped out, or Yumen Pass has been lost, * retreated to Shazhou and so on. Most of the sources of this information were captured Tibetan officers, and the Han people in Ganzhou were too far away to provide useful information because of the close distance and the fact that the battle situation was tightly sealed by the Tibetan army.

After advancing to the high platform, * found several hanging corpses on the side of the abandoned official road, and the local Han people told * that this was a messenger sent by Yumen Pass to report to the Tang Dynasty, and was captured by the Tibetan army in winter, and after being killed, it was hung here, and it had been dried into dried corpses. After capturing these messengers, Ganzhou Tubo sent a large army to attack Yumen Pass, and even forcibly signed an army among the Han people, but was defeated and lost by the "Si General" at Yumen Pass, and lost more than half of it by the Hulu River. Fleeing in embarrassment.

"There are more than a dozen strong young men in the village who were captured by the signing army that time, and I didn't see him come back, I don't know if he died, it's a good baby."

Locals lamented. And after that, no one knows very much. There are local hot-blooded men who want to secretly run to Yumen Pass to join the army, but they were found by the Tubo army on the road and beheaded with a knife.

"Even the whole family has been killed!"

A new grave is piled up on a grass ground outside the village. Originally, the Tibetan people would not let the corpses be collected, so they wanted to put these corpses here for deterrence. Recently, there have been fewer Tubo people coming around, and the local people have the courage to bury the family, but the body is already mutilated. Locals also said that the Tubo people trumpeted that the Yumen Pass had been broken by the Tibetan army from Yizhou. The Tibetan army is chasing the remnants* and will soon arrive in Ganzhou.

This is largely the case from the local nomadic tribes. Therefore, Sha Chali sent people to inform the Song Dynasty and Tian Bu, asking if they wanted to suspend their advance and wait for Li Guangyan's army to come. At this time, Tian Bu showed his family roots.

"General Song, this must be a trick by the Tubo people to confuse the people."

Tian Bu then explained:

"If I were Shang Tazang, after obtaining the Yumen Pass, I would definitely leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to stay at the Yumen Pass, and then the army would march east to relieve the siege of Ganzhou. Now that none of the soldiers and horses in Tubo have come here, doesn't it mean that Yumen Pass is still in the hands of General Shi? ”

Tian Bu offered another suspicious plan and said:

"Our army has come from afar, and there are few men and horses, if we can't solve the siege of Yumen Pass in a battle, we may be in trouble first. Now we can follow the example of Taizong to relieve the siege of Yanmen Pass, take the 3,000 army as the rear team, make a big fanfare, set up more flags and torches, and use 3,000 people to make tens of thousands of people, and the Tubo people will definitely know it, and after knowing it, they will definitely judge that our army is bluffing according to the intelligence of the Ganzhou side, and does not care about our army. Then I can ask Sha Zali to speed up his advance, attack from the front under the banner of Li Shuai, and lead the last general to lead 500 cavalry to detour to the Great Wall and attack from behind under the banner of my father. Shang Ta Zang besieged the pass for several months without restraint, the division veterans were tired, at this time in a panic, must have thought that our army reinforcements are coming, panicked, our army will take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill will be able to relieve the siege of Yumen Pass. ”

A strategy is a good strategy, but just leading 500 people is a bit of a big deal. Moreover, Li Guangyan handed over Tian Bu to the Song Dynasty, where did the Song Dynasty dare to let Tian Bu go to the camp. The two argued and agreed to bring 1,000 people each, and the Song Dynasty followed after Sha Zali, while Tian Bu disguised Shuofang reinforcements under the banner of Tian Hongzheng to attack from behind.

* After starting to act according to Tian Bu's plan, he really found a large number of Tanma of the Tubo army, which came and went, and it was very lively, * He didn't care about it, he just sent rangers to drive it away and didn't let the Tanma approach. And Tian Bu and the Song Dynasty each led a thousand cavalry, one man and three horses, quietly left the brigade and sneaked into the mountains. The army also went to bed late and got up early every day, making a gesture of urgent reinforcements, attracting the attention of the Tibetan tanma, and covering the actions of the Song Dynasty and Tianbu.

"General Tian, see you at the end of the jade gate."

Song Chao clenched his fists and said to Tian Bu. Tian Bu Hug Fist Do:

"I'll see you when the jade gate closes."

Around midnight, in front of the Yumen Pass, the Tubo army once again took a position in front of the pass. Guan Shang* also completed the assembly in a hurry, waiting for the Tubo army to attack again. Although the Tibetan army was defeated six times yesterday, the losses were also great. For example, he has just been promoted to the fifteenth of the team, and now no one asks him how many Tubo fans he killed this time.

"Listen, the general of our army has a merciful heart, and he can't bear to see you die in vain, so he specially asked me to persuade you, you still know each other a little, and obediently switch and surrender, and the general of our army will not embarrass you. If not, you won't have a place to cry! ”
