"In!"

Xue Wanche stepped forward and solemnly clenched his fists, his eyes were fanatical and expectant.

Qin Huaidao ordered: "Appoint you as the commander of the Guiyi Army, the source of the soldiers is selected from the Tang people captured by Tuyuhun and taken captive, what to do You can ask Mo more, he has been with this king for a long time, he has rich experience in this area, and the Guiyi Army is under the control of General Xu, how about it?" ”

When Xue Wanche heard that he was directly appointed as the commander of the army, and Cheng Chumo was treated equally with the old men who followed the King of Han, he was immediately overjoyed, and said solemnly: "King Xie Han trusts, the last general will repay each other with death, and will never lose each other, if you violate this oath, people and gods will abandon it, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it!" ”

In the age of worship of ghosts and gods, this oath was quite heavy.

Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on Li Jingren: "Arrange carrier pigeons to accompany you to facilitate contact." ”

Li Jingren hurriedly agreed and hurriedly went to arrange.

"Three, Tuyuhun has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so it will never be allowed to split out again, if you can't do it, the history books will scold you and me to death, please!"

"Please rest assured, King Han, only dead ears!"

The three of them looked solemn and replied solemnly.

Xiping County is just a small city, Qin Huaidao left a group of soldiers and horses to guard, and continued to the east with the main force, going straight to Hezhou, that is, Linxia in later generations.

Lanzhou, Hezhou, Taozhou, and Minzhou are distributed in a north-south line, and once they are taken, they will become a military barrier, completely cutting off the passage of Tuyuhun into Datang, and also blocking Tubo from entering Datang and Tuyuhun from withdrawing troops.

At that time, Tubo could only withdraw to Songzhou further south, that is, the Aba region of Sichuan in later generations.

"Newspaper—"

Li Jingren hit his horse to catch up, and arched his hand: "King Qiqi, King Han, I just received a message from the flying pigeon, Jincheng County was taken, and General Luo Zhang marched into Hezhou as planned. ”

"Good fight." Qin Huaidao was overjoyed, although he guessed that he would take it, but he was still very excited to hear the news, Jincheng County succeeded, which meant that he had mastered the gate of the Hexi Corridor, rejected the Turks in the north, defended the imperial court in the east, and looked at Hezhou in the south.

The most critical step of the war fell, Qin Huaidao was no longer conservative, and shouted loudly: "Order, march quickly." ”

"The King of Han has an order, march quickly!"

"The King of Han has an order, march quickly!"

One after another, a loud roar rang out, and the army began to accelerate.

All the war horses walked, and soon, the horses' hooves flew over, and the roar was deafening, resounding in all directions.

……

North of the Great Wall, the Turkic Central Military Tent.

The khan was scolding a group of subordinates, spitting and spitting, his voice was fierce, like a rampaging lion, and at his feet lay the corpse of a young woman, unclothed, killed with a knife, and the blood stained the surroundings red, but no one looked at it, they all lowered their heads and were silent, and their faces were ugly.

"Bastard, damn it, why is this happening?" The khan said and flew up with a kick, kicked the female corpse away, especially unrelieved of hatred, pulled out his saber, slashed to death the woman who was kneeling next to her, did not dare to move, her head rolled to the ground, kicked away, and scolded: "Damn, the Tang people deserve to die, saying, who can take the Great Wall?" Crowned king! ”

The phrase "Feng Wang" smashed open in everyone's hearts, and their breath became short.

But when he thought of the solidity of the Great Wall's defense line, it was difficult to fight, and the tide of greed receded, and he bowed his head and was silent.

Seeing that the king could not arouse people's blood and morale, the khan was even more angry, and shouted: "After fighting for so long, even the Great Wall cannot be broken, what use do you want?" ”

Everyone was unconvinced, but they did not dare to refute it.

"Newspaper—"

A man rushed in and said eagerly: "Qiyu Khan, the Hanzhou army has taken Jincheng County." ”

"What, lost so quickly? That's impossible. Khan was taken aback.

The crowd also looked at the messenger with a look of incredulity in their eyes.

The khan stepped forward, pointed his bloody knife at the other party and scolded: "Give you another chance, after thinking about it, the city of Jincheng County is strong, and there are five thousand Tibetan elites stationed there, and it can hold it for at least three days, how can it be so fast?" ”

"This ...... The subordinates didn't know, and the scout Flying Eagle sent a message saying that the city had been breached, and there was no details. ”

"I don't have details, what do I want you to do?" The Khan was furious and slashed down with a knife, killing him instantly.

The khan was especially unrelieved, kicked the corpse out of the big tent, and asked in front of everyone: "Jincheng County is lost, and the Hanzhou army may go north at any time, and now our army cannot break through the Great Wall and break through the pass into Chang'an, how to deal with it?" ”

These words already convey the meaning of withdrawing troops.

Everyone is not stupid, how can they not hear it, but they are unwilling in their hearts, they have been fighting for so long, not to mention the heavy losses, and there is nothing to gain, this is too much of a loss, and I can't explain it when I go back.

One of the generals stepped out of the crowd and said in a loud voice: "Khan, if you attack again tonight, you will definitely be able to take it." ”

"Sneak attack, sneak attack, you know that sneak attack, sneak attack so much, in addition to heavy losses, is it successful again?" Khan roared with angry eyes.

The other party's neck was cold, and he quickly stepped back.

An older general took the opportunity to say: "Khan, our army is good at cavalry warfare, field warfare, and is not good at foot warfare, attacking fortified positions, Tang State relies on the terrain and occupies a cheap position, we are short to attack its strengths, it is better to detour, let go of Helan Mountain, go west into Liangzhou, and then go south to Jincheng County, and continue to enter Chang'an after taking Jincheng County." ”

"Is your head full of mutton?" The khan unceremoniously reprimanded: "Although taking Helan Mountain to the west can avoid the Great Wall, it also takes time, not to mention that Jincheng County is strong, no less than the Great Wall, or even more difficult to fight, how sure are you that you can take Jincheng County?" ”

"This?" The other party's face was flushed.

A younger general came out and said, "Khan, we can go east, take the Wuding River into Chang'an, and if we don't have a chance, we can continue to the west, and it would be good to loot the northern grasslands and go back." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up and they were moved.

Conquering Chang'an is also for plundering, not to occupy, now there is no chance to break through, it is not bad to loot the entire northern steppe to the east, the population, there are many cattle and sheep, and the Turkic national strength has doubled when brought back.

The khan also realized that this was done well, the grassland was flat and empty, suitable for a large army to fight, as long as he brought back enough loot, his position would be as stable as a rock, and the domestic voice would be higher, and he would continue to be a great khan.

His mind flashed, and the khan gradually regained his composure, reasoned, looked at the young general and smiled with satisfaction: "This method is feasible, the plan is proposed by you, and you are the vanguard." ”

"Xie Khan." The other party is overjoyed, and it seems dangerous to be a pioneer, but he can grab more property.

Everyone looked at each other enviously, but they didn't dare to fight.

……

Almost at the same time.

Ten miles outside the city of Qizhou, the Tubo camp.

The second prince of Tubo, the commander of the Right Route Army, Tan Qinling, stared at a map for a long time, his mood was heavy, he was moving fast enough, he didn't expect that Tang Guo had already prepared, and he took the lead in laying heavy troops in Qizhou, and in Longzhou north of Qizhou, Fengzhou in the south of the same heavy defense, three points and one line, distributed in the north and south, forming a military barrier.

Any part of the three states was breached, and the army could come to Chang'an, but what the Tang army did not expect was that the Tang army was very tenacious, and the city was about to be breached.

On Qinling angrily slammed his fist on the map, gritted his teeth angrily, and almost became the first person in Tubo to lead troops to attack Chang'an, this glory is enough to go down in the history of Tubo and become a hero sung by everyone, but it's a pity.

"It seems that you have to work hard!" The killing intent flashed in Qin Ling's eyes, and his gaze fell on Fengzhou in the south.

"Report!" A general came in.

"What?" On Qinling didn't raise his head, his eyes were fixed on Fengzhou, and a bold plan came to mind.

"The second prince of Qiqi, the scout Feiying sent a message, saying that Jincheng County was broken, and the army left behind had no survivors."

"What?" On Qinling's gaze quickly found the location of Jincheng County on the map, and asked, "Who did it, did the Turks treacherously stab our army?" ”

"No, it's the Hanzhou Army."

"Hanzhou Army? Are they coming? On Qinling's face changed greatly, and when he saw the nod of the messenger, he continued: "The matter is very important, and the generals will be ordered to come over to discuss the matter." ”

Soon, more than a dozen generals came in, everyone gathered in a group and was silent, and Qin Ling's cold gaze swept at everyone, and said coldly: "Have you heard about the situation?" Jincheng County was taken by the Hanzhou army, and the Hanzhou army had two choices, east to Chang'an Qinwang, or south to Hezhou, cutting off the return route of our army. ”

"In this way, Tuyuhun will be surrounded, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous." A general reminded.

The other person sneered disdainfully: "Tugu Hun wolf is ambitious and greedy, it is best to be destroyed by the Han King of the Tang Kingdom, and lose both, let's recapture the ......."

"Don't make noise, it's too late to go back to rescue Hezhou, and it's not necessary, this commander plans to send a large army south to attack Fengzhou, and then leave an army to play more banners and camouflage the army is still there, hide from the sky and cross the sea, even if it is exposed, the Qizhou army will only think that our army is really attacking Fengzhou, the main force quietly goes east along the Wei River, goes straight to Chang'an, and then finds a favorable terrain to ambush, the news of our army killing Chang'an will definitely not be hidden, Chang'an will be chaotic, and will strictly order Niu Jinda to lead the army back to help, then the ambush will be all out, and the Niu Jinda will be eaten in one bite, and then kill to Chang'an."

"False and real, you can't prevent it, the second prince has a good idea!"

"The second prince is worthy of being my Tibetan god of war."

"The second prince is wise, just do it!"

Everyone's eyes lit up and they praised one after another.
