Chapter 558: Mobilizing the Border Army
Regarding the disposal of Zinu, Li Qinzai was really a little embarrassed.
This woman is not smart enough, and she has an enmity with the Tang Dynasty, as well as the background of Tubo, and her identity is very complicated.
But...... She's beautiful, and she dances beautifully.
Now Li Qinzai finally knows why so many faint gentlemen have been obsessed with women throughout the ages. Because the woman is so beautiful and fragrant, she really can't do it, she shakes her arms and is coquettish, so she can't wait to light a beacon fire to help her play.
Men are really not qualified to laugh at the concentration and position of the faint king, more than a thousand years later, the beautiful female anchor sent a kiss with a wink, and the big brother on the list still swished at the rocket carnival.
Is this different from lighting a beacon? Don't say anything about the righteousness of the family and the country, if the Great Wall belongs to the big brother on the list, do you think he doesn't dare to light a beacon fire.
Of course, Li Qinzai couldn't light a beacon fire for Zinu, but ...... He really can't do anything to destroy flowers.
A stunning beauty with an appearance that can score 99 points has become a work of art in the world, how can she bear to kill it? That's right, it's so vulgar and mundane.
…………
Thirty miles west of Jishi Mountain, the Tubo army camp.
Since more than 1,000 Tang troops displayed their new weapons on the battlefield, the Tubo army was defeated and retreated, camped and ceased fighting, and confronted Tuyuhun, and the stalemate has been nearly half a month.
Today's situation in Tibet is very embarrassing, the army consumes a lot of grain and grass every day, but the war has no progress and drags on again and again.
Lu Dongzan was a cautious man by nature, and he would not order the battle again until he thoroughly understood the details of the strange new weapons of the Tang army, because the probability of defeat in the battle was too great, and Tubo fought this battle with the strength of the whole country, and Lu Dongzan could not afford the price of defeat.
Even a stalemate is better than defeat, of course, this is a helpless choice.
After waiting for half a month, the news of Zinu was delayed, and Lu Dongzan gradually couldn't sit still.
Nearly 80,000 troops, people eat horses and chew every day, and Tubo can't afford to consume it.
Yesterday, when Zhong Cong returned from Liangzhou City, hundreds of warriors from the mission were sent, and only a few people returned.
On Zhong Cong's kneeling in front of Lu Dongzan and weeping, counting Li Qinzai's despicability and shamelessness, and forcing him to sign the alliance under the city, saying that Tubo must retreat thousands of miles, and the Tang Dynasty needs half of Tuguhun's land.
Lu Dongzan was very disappointed in Zhong Cong, and even more sneered at his so-called request for agreeing to Tang Guo.
I, Tubo, have paid countless casualties and hard work to conquer the Tuyuhun land, why did the Tang Kingdom give it to them with a word?
Of course, this request was not considered, and Lu Dongzan didn't have to think about it at all.
In the handsome tent, Lu Dongzan frowned, staring at the map on the table, his expression was very solemn.
A partial general entered after the report, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Prime minister, the scout is coming, and there is a change in Tugu." ”
Lu Dongzan's gaze moved away from the map, and he said in a deep voice: "What's the difference?" ”
"After Princess Tuyu Hun Honghua left Liangzhou City and returned to Jishi Mountain, Tuyu Hun Nuo Hobo Khan and his wife and many cronies began to pack up, and it seemed that they had the intention of abandoning the land and moving eastward, and now the Tuyu Hun army is becoming more and more turbulent and sloppy."
The turmoil in the enemy's army was good news, but Lu Dongzan had no happy expression, and his face became more and more heavy.
"The Sword Comes"
After Zhong Cong returned to the Tubo camp, he told in detail what he had heard and seen, Lu Dongzan knew that Tuyuhun had an alliance with the Tang State, and Nuo Haobo Khan had probably clearly realized the current reality, and planned to give up the Khan throne, move east to the Tang Dynasty with his wife and children, and become an idle vassal king from now on.
Tuyuhun's military spirit is loose and turbulent, but Tubo is not necessarily easy.
Because Lu Dongzan knew very well that since the Khan of Nohobo planned to give up the country, then a more powerful enemy of Tibet was coming.
The Tang State will inevitably send troops, and it will not be so easy for Tubo to fully occupy Tuyuhun.
With a deep sigh, Lu Dong praised: "Is there any news from the scouts in Tang Guo'an?" ”
The general shook his head blankly.
Lu Dongzan muttered: "Soon, the Tang State will definitely send troops, and there are not many opportunities left for Tubo......"
Immediately, Lu Dongzan's cloudy eyes suddenly flashed a fierce color, and he said in a deep voice: "Pass on my military order, the army will pull out the camp tomorrow, march east to Jishi Mountain, launch an offensive again, defeat the Tuyuhun army within three days, and fully occupy Tuyuhun." ”
The general hesitated: "Prime minister, the strange weapon of the Tang Kingdom ......"
Lu Dongzan snorted coldly: "There are more than a thousand people around the left, how can no matter how powerful the weapon is, affect the entire battle situation?" I, the Tibetan warriors, are not afraid of death and charge over, and the enemy will be broken. ”
…………
In the middle of the night, Liangzhou City.
Li Qinzai was woken up from his sleep, and before Li Qinzai could get up, Liu Asi put out the fire for him with a word.
"Wu Shaolang, Tubo has launched an offensive again, this morning the Tubo army launched an attack on the Tuyuhun army on the east side of Jishi Mountain, the Tuyuhun army resisted to the death, both sides had casualties, and after several hours of fighting, Tuyuhun was defeated and retreated for a hundred miles, and Tubo has controlled the Jishi Mountains."
Li Qinzai's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Bring me the map!" Li Qinzai said and entered the study.
On the sheepskin map, Li Qinzai drew a few arrows with a brush, after Tubo controlled Jishi Mountain, Tuyuhun basically lost the ability to resist, because the east of Jishi Mountain is a plain, with Tuyuhun's current combat strength and military spirit, it is simply impossible to resist Tubo's attack.
If Tuyuhun retreats and retreats, not far from the east is the border of the Tang Dynasty, and there are three cities of Taozhou, Hezhou and Minzhou on the border.
At that time, if the Tang Dynasty attacks Tubo again, the situation will be passive.
"How long will it take for General Su Dingfang to lead the Wang Division to Liangzhou City?" Li Qinzai asked in a deep voice.
Liu Asi said: "Yesterday, the scout came to report that Wang's division set off from Chang'an for only a few days, and the army was drawn out, and the march was slow, so it would take about 20 days to arrive in Liangzhou." ”
"Twenty days, the daylilies are cold!" Li Qinzai said coldly.
sighed heavily, Lu Dongzan was a character after all, and he dared to make a decision in this situation, which disrupted Li Qinzai's calculations at once.
Originally, Li Qinzai planned to calmly arrange in Liangzhou City and wait for the arrival of Su Dingfang's department, and his mission would be successfully completed at that time.
Lu Dongzan suddenly ordered an attack, apparently he also realized that after the arrival of the Tang army, Tubo was about to usher in an unfavorable situation, so he decided to strike first, fully occupy Tuyuhun, and then rely on the terrain to fight against the Tang army.
"Before General Su arrives in Liangzhou, he must not let Tubo occupy Tuyuhun!" Li Qinzai said coldly: "We must stop it!" ”
Liu Assi said in embarrassment: "But after all, we only have more than 1,000 soldiers and horses......
Li Qinzai thought for a while and said, "Please ask General Zheng Rentai to come to Liangzhou for a while, at this time it is time to mobilize the border army and rush to the aid of Tuyuhun." ”
Zheng Rentai commanded the border army of the six northwestern states of the Tang Dynasty, with a total of about 20,000 soldiers and horses, except for the soldiers and horses that must be left behind in each city, the soldiers and horses who can really free up their hands to take the initiative to attack may be less than 10,000.
Li Qinzai originally did not plan to mobilize the border army of Liuzhou, after all, these 10,000 soldiers and horses were against the 80,000 people of the enemy in Tibet, and they were not equipped with three-eyed guns, so the victory rate was not high.
It's just that today is already a time of 100,000 urgency, and Li Qinzai has to use it.
