But let Xue Wanche they guess, the other two cavalry did not chase Songtsen Gampo, Songtsen Gampo seemed to disappear out of thin air, if Songtsen Gampo still led the army, it would be a good pursuit, the mighty army could not cover the tracks at all, but Songtsen Gampo only brought more than a thousand personal guards, which was too difficult to find traces in the endless vast wilderness, after chasing for a few days there was still no trace of Songtsen Gampo, the pursuing cavalry returned to Xinghai City one after another, The cavalry battalion of the Shenji Battalion was the last cavalry to return, although a lot of war horses and weapons were captured, and there were still many heads hanging on the war horses, but Xue Wanche and the others still looked dejected, in fact, seeing Xue Wanche and them come back dejected, Li Yong was also a little disappointed, but he was not depressed, and said with a smile.

"It seems that your pursuit has won a lot!"

Xue Wanche sighed heavily.

"I only caught some small miscellaneous fish, and I didn't meet Songtsen Gampo at all, if I did, I wouldn't let him run away if I said anything, but I didn't meet it, I was really angry!"

Li Yuntian asked expectantly.

"Grandpa, did the other cavalry catch up with Songtsen Gampo?"

Since they didn't catch up with Songtsen Gampo, then they could only expect the other cavalry to pursue Songtsan Gampo, no matter who got this great credit it was better than letting Songtsen Gampo escape, Li Yong shook his head slightly.

"No, I didn't meet Songtsen Gampo, so if he really let him escape, it can only be regarded as his life!"

Xue Wanche, Li Yuntian and others felt even more disappointed when they heard this, this expedition killed so many Tubo people, hit Tubo hard, and even the Tubo general Saamu died on the battlefield, if Songtsen Gampo did not come, then this battle can be called perfect, but Songtsen Gampo came, but let Songtsan Gampo escape, then it can only be said that there is too much regret, because with the fiasco of the last expedition, Chang'an City to the ministers of the court, down to the people of Li are very concerned about this expedition.

Therefore, when the cavalry of the victorious galloped into Chang'an City, it immediately caused a sensation.

"Longyou victory! Longyou victory! ”

The cavalry shouted while galloping, and the people along the road immediately became excited when they heard the shouts of the cavalry, some cheered, and some even danced, this is the normal result! Let's just say, the Tang Dynasty is so rich and powerful, how could it be defeated by the Tubo people? At the beginning, Hou Junji led a large army to defeat the Tubo people, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, which is now more prosperous! Sure enough, it's all Zhang Liang's problem! The good news was sent to the palace as soon as possible, Fang Xuanling, the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng and other important ministers immediately rushed to the Ganlu Hall when they heard the news of the good news, although they knew that it was good news, but they were not sure whether this good news was the good news they imagined, after all, as long as they defeated the Tubo people, it was good news, and it could inspire the people, but the goal set at the time of the expedition was not just to defeat the Tubo people, but to hit Tubo hard and solve the border troubles, although they did not know the specific results, But their footsteps are still very brisk, because this is good news after all, and it is worth being happy after defeating the Tubo people, in the Ganlu Palace, Li Erlong, Yan Dayue, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Li Jing and others walked into the hall.

"Congratulations to the saints!"

Li Erlong smiled and said with a smile.

"Congratulations, congratulations! I haven't seen the good news, and I don't know if the plan I made when I sent out the troops has succeeded. ”

While speaking, Li Er was very looking forward to the good news, the first thing to open was the good news summarized by Xu Shiji, just a few quick glances, Li Er's face smiled.

"Songtsen Gampo actually personally led 100,000 iron cavalry to surround Xinghai City!"

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Li Jing and others couldn't help but gasp when they heard this, Li Yong's kid's attraction was inevitably too great, and he actually attracted Songtsan Gampo to the past, and it was also a hundred thousand iron horses, although they knew that this was good news, they still couldn't help but feel frightened, although Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling were frightened, but they were not as frightened as Li Er, Li Er not only felt frightened, but even a little fleshy, because if the queen knew about it, she didn't know how to complain about him.

"Fortunately, Li Yong led the Shenji Battalion to hold on for six days, killing more than 30,000 enemies, and Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chigong led the army to return in time to complete the siege! After a day of fierce fighting, more than 40,000 were killed, more than 10,000 were captured, and only about 10,000 of the 100,000 iron horsemen of Tubo escaped! ”

Only 10,000 of the 100,000 iron horsemen in Tibet escaped? This siege can be said to be a great success, which definitely hit Tubo hard! Even more successful than expected! Du Ruhui said excitedly.

"Congratulations to the saint, this battle has been a complete victory, and Tubo has been hit hard, and from then on, Longyou and Jiannan can be calm for at least ten years!"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

"Such a big victory is enough to shine through the ages, it is the sage who has planned far ahead and formulated a plan to lure the troops, so that he has achieved a complete victory, which is the blessing of Longyou, the blessing of the Tang Dynasty, and the blessing of the people!"

Li Er was very happy to hear this, but he still waved his hand.

"The biggest credit in this battle does not belong to a certain one, but belongs to Li Yong, it is Li Yong's suggestion, and it is also Li Yong's risk to lure the enemy, but I didn't expect that he actually attracted 100,000 Tubo iron horsemen, and Songtsen Gampo also attracted, this battle, Li Yong can be said to have taken a great risk!"

Li Jing nodded with a smile.

"The 100,000 Tubo iron cavalry is indeed shocking, but the artillery and muskets of the Shenji battalion are not vegetarian, and the 100,000 Tibetan iron cavalry are not pleased."

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile.

"Sage, since the army has completed the encirclement, isn't Songtsen Gampo also surrounded?"

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the others suddenly became excited again, just now they were all shocked by the results of the first battle, and they didn't think of Songtsen Gampo for a while, at this time they remembered, yes, Songtsen Gampo must have also been surrounded in the army, if Songtsan Gampo was also killed or captured alive, it would be great, Li Er looked at the good news and shook his head with some disappointment.

"It's a pity, Songtsen Gampo made a plan for the golden cicada to get out of its shell, changed clothes and armor with his own guards, and then broke out."

Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and the others suddenly showed disappointed expressions on their faces, although this siege battle met or even exceeded the expectations of the troops, and now they suddenly knew that Songtsen Gampo was surrounded and then fled, they couldn't help but feel very regretful, Li Er continued.

"Xu Shiji and they sent three cavalry to pursue Songtsen Gampo overnight, but there was no result."

Chase down the fleeing Songtsen Gampo? Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling also knew that it was unlikely that they could pursue Songtsan Gampo, but they still had a trace of expectation.

"I hope to capture Songtsen Gampo, Tubo has just been unified not long ago, if there is no Songtsen Gampo, then Tubo will definitely fall apart, and it will no longer be a climate."

Wei Zheng stroked his beard with a look of anticipation, and Li Er smiled.

"If Songtsen Gampo can come to Chang'an as a guest, then of course a certain person is very welcome, Jieli is so lonely and depressed, it would be great to have someone to accompany him."

In fact, Li Er is more than Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling, and they are looking forward to Songtsan Gampo being captured alive, because it will definitely be recorded in the history books, a very strong stroke, if anyone can capture Songtsan Gampo alive or kill Songtsan Gampo, then he must be a grand reward, the news of the great victory spread rapidly in Chang'an, and spread faster in the palace, in the Lizheng Palace, the eldest grandson Empress soon knew the news of the great victory, and Li Lizhen was also in the Lizheng Palace, so naturally she also heard the report of the little eunuch, she was surprised and immediately froze, since Li Yong set out on the expedition, She was always looking forward to the good news, and now that it had finally arrived, how could she not feel excited? And the good news came earlier than she expected, Empress Eldest Sun said happily.

"Now rest assured, right?"

Li Lizhi nodded with a smile.

"That's really good news."

This is indeed good news, but Li Lizhen is not completely happy, because she knows that a big victory does not mean that the battlefield is over, Empress Changsun asked with a smile.

"Why don't you look so happy? The good news has come, but are you still worried? ”

Li Li said with a smile.

"I just wonder when the army will triumph?"

Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.

"It should be soon, the results of this victory should be great, and the army of Tubo is likely to suffer heavy losses and return to Tibet."

Li Lizhi said in surprise.

"Really? So Lang Jun is about to return to Chang'an? ”

Empress Eldest Sun nodded.

"Of course it's true."

After finishing speaking, Empress Eldest Sun pondered for a moment and muttered.

"Actually, there are some things that I didn't tell you before."

It is impossible for the Tubo army to besiege Xinghai City to be hidden from Changle all the time, and now that the news of the victory has come, Changle is rejoicing in his heart, and Empress Changsun feels that it is time to tell her.

"What's the matter?"

Li Lizhi was slightly stunned, in fact, she also faintly felt that the queen mother seemed to have something to hide from her, and she also felt that her father was deliberately avoiding her in the past few days, and the eldest grandson queen said softly.

"I received a military intelligence report from Longyou before, saying that the traces of Tubo soldiers and horses were found, and the soldiers and horses of Tubo were found in Xinghai City."

Li Lizhi listened and lost her voice.

"What? The Tibetans attacked Xinghai City? ”

Empress Changsun gently stroked Changle's slender back and said softly.

"Relax, don't be nervous, Xu Shiji, Cheng Biting Jin, and Wei Chigong led the army back in time, and now the good news has come!"

Li Lizhen really didn't know what to say for a while, she was afraid and happy in her heart, and the eldest grandson queen smiled.

"Your father said that the Shenji battalion has brought enough ammunition and grain and grass, even if it is a year and a half to guard it, there is no problem, I am afraid that you are too worried and I will not tell you, and now it has only been a few days before the Tubo people will be surrounded and annihilated, and now I tell you, you can rest assured."

As he was talking, Li Er strode into the Lizheng Palace, with a confident and joyful smile on his face, not only achieved a big victory, but finally did not have to be afraid to see his daughter.

"Queen, Changle, have you heard? What a victory! This time it's a real win! ”

Li Er said excitedly.

"Songtsen Gampo surrounded Xinghai City with 100,000 iron cavalry, but was surrounded and killed more than 70,000, and more than 10,000 surrendered, only 10,000 Tubo people fled in embarrassment, this victory is enough to ensure that the Tubo people will not dare to provoke the Tang Dynasty within ten years!"

Empress Changsun and Li Lizhen couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this, they were stunned, although Empress Changsun had long known that the Tubo army was besieging Xinghai City, but she never expected that it would be an army of 100,000, and it was Songtsen Gampo who personally led the troops! An army of 100,000! And it was Songtsen Gampo himself who led the troops! If she had known, she would have been worried that she would not have been able to sleep at night.

"An army of 100,000? And is Songtsen Gampo personally leading the troops? ”

Li Lizhi was stunned, as if she still felt unbelievable at this moment, and Li Er, who was in the excitement, couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I didn't expect Li Yong to have such a big attraction before, and he actually attracted Songtsan Gampo, it is a pity that Songtsan Gampo escaped, but there are already three cavalry teams to pursue it overnight, hoping to catch up with Songtsan Gampo, so that Tubo can be solved once and for all!"

Empress Eldest Sun and Li Lizhen always felt that something was wrong when they heard it, what was wrong? Wait a minute? Attract? The smile on Empress Eldest Sun's face gradually disappeared, her eyebrows raised slightly, and she asked in disbelief.

"The sage said that Li Yong has a great attraction? So the saint knew it for a long time? Let Li Yong go to Xinghai City to garrison just to lure the enemy to attack? ”

The smile on Li Lizhen's face had long since disappeared, and she asked with an ugly face.

"Father, what the hell is going on?"

It's like a basin of ice water poured down from the head, the excitement and excitement in Li Er's heart cooled down instantly, it's broken, he accidentally said bald mouth, it's all because he was too excited just now, facing the common gaze of his wife and daughter, and it is also the kind of gaze with threat and anger, Li Er, who can act as the head of the country, was a little cowardly at this time, Li Er hurriedly said.

"Don't be nervous first, let alone worry, especially Changle, you relax first, this battle has already hit Tubo hard, the war is over, Li Yong has no damage, and the army will soon be triumphant."

Li Lizhi took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, and nodded.

"Don't worry, father, I'm not nervous, I just want to know what's going on."

Li Er coughed dryly and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, you listen to me explain slowly, the Tubo people were very arrogant at the beginning, if they just repelled the Tubo army, then the Tubo people will definitely make a comeback, and the war in Longyou will be endless, so we must hit Tubo hard, give Tubo a hard lesson, so that Tubo does not dare to send troops to the west, it is not difficult to repel the Tubo people, but how to hit Tubo hard is a difficult problem, so Li Yong proposed that he make a bait to attract the Tubo people to attack, and then surround the Tubo people, it was really Li Yong who took the initiative to put forward, of course, Of course, he didn't want Li Yong to be in danger, so he refused sternly. ”
