The news obtained by the Changying Army that captured the Tubo scouts did not surprise Duan You, the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, after all, he had already judged these things.

It's just that the way the Changying Army coped made him feel very confused.

He could understand that he could form a mixed scout with the Jingyuan cavalry as a guide, replenish food and grass, and even build a camp in front, but he never dreamed that the Changying army would start from thirty miles to the northwest, and the construction of this camp would be endless.

In fact, Guo Rong and Li Yu's plan was even more heartbreaking than Duan You imagined.

Because the camps that Guo Rong and Li Yu want to build are not one or two, but a full six!

According to the plan, the Changying army was limited to 3 days, with 30 li intervals, alternately covering, and began to set up advance camps in the direction of Xiaoguan, with the purpose of advancing the camp beyond Xiaoguan before the arrival of the Tibetan army.

After all, Guo Rong had two battalions on hand and 2,000 specialized engineers.

An engineer battalion, under the protection of a battalion of soldiers and with the assistance of a battalion of soldiers, camped in one day and set up defenses in two days, three days is enough time to turn an ordinary camp into a strong fortress.

When the time came to the fourth day of the capture of the prisoners, the construction of the second forward camp of the Changying army had been completed, and the logistics troops had begun to move forward to deliver supplies, and from the afternoon, groups of messengers flocked to the city.

The earliest letter came from Li Rui, and the three battalions of soldiers under Li Rui's department, as well as the accompanying engineers and cavalry, had already gone north along the Huizhong Road, and it was expected to arrive in Huating County within ten days.

The next one is unexpected, from the Fengxiang Festival envoy, in the heart of Fengxiang Town has begun to mobilize troops in accordance with the holy decree, four thousand soldiers will be picked up in Longzhou within five days, ready to be dispatched at any time.

For this letter that was not brainless, from Fengxiang, Guo Rong and Li Yu were confused for a while, until the messenger from Chang'an also came to Jingzhou before sunset, and in front of Li Yu and Guo Rong under the guidance of Luo Chinese, Li Yu, Guo Rong, and Luo Chinese were stunned after seeing the first holy decree.

With Li Yu, the general of the Changying Army, as the deputy marshal of the Gyeonggi Provincial Marching Army, he commanded Gyeonggi Province, and the Jingyuan, Fengxiang, Lingwu and Changying armies fought against Tubo and acted cheaply.

If Guo Rong is not mistaken, Lingwu seems to be Fan Xichao,。。。

You must know that Li Yu, a great general, was already reluctant, and it was not difficult to let Li Yu command the three jiedu envoys, but fortunately, after the holy decree, Li Yu gave a more complete explanation to the two in his letter.

Shuofang Lingyan Jiedu made Fan Xichao, Fengxiang Jiedu made Zhang Jingze, and Jingyuan Jiedu made Duan You, all three of them were directly appointed by the imperial court, pro-imperial court Jiedu envoys, and the three Jiedu envoys were loyal enough to be transferred with confidence.

At the same time, because of the sudden outbreak of war, Li Yu has decided to postpone the time of going out from Chang'an, so that Guo Rong and Li Yu can fight with peace of mind and not be in a hurry.

Li Yu said in the letter that he was going to use the Changying Army as a template to establish a new army Shenwei Army, and after the end of this war, let Guo Rong recommend one person from among the generals of the Changying Army to be in charge of the preparation of the new army.

As for the main direction of attack of the Tubo Army in Jiannan Province, Li Yu did not explain too much, but transferred a military order:

Xue Ping, the general of the right guard, was the deputy marshal of the Jiannan Road march, commanding the soldiers of the original Shence Army, and the reorganized Jianyu Lin Army and Shenwu Army totaled 30,000 people.

Facing Guo Rong's blank eyes, Li Yu explained to Guo Rong that Xue Ping was Xue Rengui's great-grandson.

After reading the holy decree and Li Yu's letter, Guo Rong and Li Yu looked at each other, and after a while, Li Yu shook his head with a wry smile.

"The Emperor is roasting me on the fire! Forget it, forget it, what do you think of Guo Rong and Chinese? ”

"General, in fact, we don't have to care too much, after all, we originally considered relying on the Changying Army plus the seven thousand foot soldiers of the Jingyuan Army to take Xiao Pass, and now with the support provided by His Majesty, it is a good thing after all, if we can get a few thousand cavalry from them, the chances of victory will be even greater."

"Yes, then we'll go ahead with the original plan, but do you think we need to tell them about the plan as well?"

"Since Your Majesty said that they are trustworthy, I think it's okay, Fan Jiedu doesn't need to say much, he has been very supportive of us since the grass creation stage of the Changying Army, although Duan You has a little more thoughts, but I believe that his loyalty to Datang is true, as for Zhang Jingze, the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu, although we are not familiar with it, we can see his attitude towards us from the fact that he has gathered troops and horses."

At first, Li Yu nodded in agreement, but in the end, when he heard Zhang Jingze, his face suddenly became a little weird, until Guo Rong's voice fell, and Li Yu slowly spoke.

"His real name is Chang, and he was given his name to respect the rules. Born in the Xuanwu Army, he was originally a disciple of Liu Xuanzuo, the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, and he had military merits, and he was the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival. ”

"In the past, Liu Xuanzuo failed to send troops to recover Hehuang because his father was dismissed from military power, and Gu Zhang Jing took the recovery of Hehuang as his ambition!"

"Fengxiang Town, under his command, sent Ye Shi Liangfu Li Sheng to capture Tubo and destroy the sand castle, and he is also a fierce general, and now he is the history of Longzhou."

I have only heard a name, and Li Yu not only knows the origin, origin, and ambition of the name, but Guo Rong has long been numb to Li Yu's ability to tell any high-ranking official and general clearly from beginning to end.

On the contrary, it was this Xuanwu Army that made Guo Rong very interested, if he remembered correctly, Ju Wenzhen was born from the Xuanwu Army Supervision Army, and this Xuanwu Army rebellion has not stopped, this Xuanwu Army is interesting.

However, Xuanwujun is obviously not the point, this Zhang Jingze's attitude is more important, Guo Rong feels that a person who can have the ambition to subdue Hehuang can basically be regarded as a person in the same path as himself.

While Guo Rong was still thinking, Luo Chinese had already spoken.

"With the ambition of recovering Hehuang, there should be no problem, whether to invite Fan and Zhang to Jingzhou, so that they can see the gifts we prepared for the Tubo people, if they can be recognized, it may bring surprises."

Li Yu nodded, while Guo Rong glanced at the map of the entire Longshan Mountain, and instantly had a bold idea.

"General, I think it is feasible for Luo to join the army, and I feel that it is enough to have the seven thousand soldiers of the Jingyuan Army to guard the back road, and there is no need to let Li Rui and them come over."

"You want to?"

"How about letting them go straight to Wonju?"

"Tell me about it." As he spoke, Li Yu's eyes were fixed on the map in the big tent.

"If the three jiedu envoys don't support our strategy, forget it, let Li Rui block the flanks for us, if we can get the support of the three of them, maybe it can become the nail that pulls out and inserts it into Longshan and makes my Datang bleed for decades."

After connecting the various points of the entire Longshan Mountain of the map into a circle, Li Yu's eyes released a fine light, and the same expression also appeared on Luo Chinese's body.

"Okay, drumming generals!"

With the sound of three drums, the empty Chinese army tent was instantly blackened, and all the military schools above the captain level of the Changying Army who went out to fight gathered together.

"The Grand General was appointed by His Majesty as the Deputy Marshal of the Gyeonggi Province March, Commanding ......"

Before Luo Chinese's words were finished, there was a "bang" in the big tent, which was extremely rare in the strict military discipline of the Changying army.

But this time, looking at the generals and colonels who were in high spirits, Guo Rong and Li Yu glanced at each other helplessly, and Guo Rong could even guess what they were saying in their hearts:, the general is a good cow......

After about a dozen breaths, the surprise of the generals was almost expressed, and Luo Chinese continued to talk about the holy decree and the requirements of the emperor.

"The Grand General will be under the command of the Gyeonggi-do Marching Vice Marshal of the Fengxiang ......, and in the latest situation, the Grand General and the Junglang General have already decided to take "

Luo Chinese paused slightly and pointed to three points on the map.

"Recovering Xiaoguan can ensure the stability of the four passes in Guanzhong, and recovering Fuzhou and Qinzhou can cut off the springboard for Tubo to attack Guanzhong from Weishuidao, which means that on the northern front, the offense and defense will change hands!"

Almost instantly, all the generals began to boil with blood.

How many years has Longxi been lost, a full forty years!

The blade of the Tubo people has been on the throat of the Tang Dynasty for forty years.

Surrounded by strong enemies such as Tibet, Uighurs, and Nanzhao, there were repeated rebellions in feudal towns such as Hebei and Jiangnan, and there were eunuchs interfering in court politics in the court, plus those nobles who felt that the ship of the Tang Dynasty was sinking and began to suck blood......

Under the diplomatic situation of internal difficulties, famous generals such as Guo Ziyi, Li Sheng, Ma Sui, and Hun Xuan, as well as Shuo Fang's army, Jingyuan army, and Fengxiang army, tried their best, but they could only defend the Longshan defense line.

And now, the Tibetan and Uighur have just fought a big war, the eunuchs have been completely abolished, the nobles are half disabled, and the feudal towns are so shocked that they dare not act rashly, this is the best opportunity!

"Today is the last military meeting before the start of the war, and you all have your own opinions, and you must complete the plan as much as possible."

As soon as Luo Chinese's voice fell, a person stood up suddenly, Meng Qian.

"General, Zhonglang General, Luo joined the army, since the ultimate goal is Longxi, then we should try our best to attract the Tubo army, so the idea of training the troops before Zhonglang General is not appropriate."

"Go on, don't stop."

"According to the plan, the engineer battalion will build six battalions, so I think that only one battalion of fighters will be left in each battalion ......"

Before sunset, several groups of messengers rushed out of the camp of the Changying army and rushed to Longzhou, Lingzhou, and Chang'an City.

Guo Rong's idea of putting Li Rui's headquarters in Yuanzhou City outside Longshan suddenly refreshed the thinking of all the generals and colonels of the Changying Army

The Changying Army, on the other hand, continued to advance in the way of advancing the camp after unifying their ideas.

When the time entered the seventh day, the construction of the third camp of the Changying army began, and Li Yu and Guo Rong, who had advanced sixty miles in the line, received news from the scouts.

Between Huizhou and Xiaoguan, a large army of soldiers and horses of Tubo was found, the team was several miles long, and the number of troops was more than 30,000, and according to the current marching speed, Xiaoguan could be reached within ten days.
