The sky was shining, and the surface of the Yellow River was already calm, but on the opposite bank of the river, there were still more than a dozen rafts firmly locked on the river.

The Tibetan people are still ambitious, but they have stopped for a while.

Outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Li Xuan held the military newspapers sent back from everywhere in his hand, and read them in detail as he walked.

After entering the big tent, Li Xuan handed the general report to Li Duozuo behind him, and said at the same time: "Last night, within dozens of miles upstream and downstream of Jianzha, there were more than 30 places, and the Tubo people tried to break through and go ashore, but all of them were beaten back. ”

Li Duozuo just glanced at it and said calmly: "It's just a small fight." ”

"Huh!" Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckle, the general's speech was atmospheric.

But then again, what Li Duozuo said is actually right.

The hands and feet of the Tubo people in other places are indeed petty fights, after all, in the entire Jianzha territory, the most suitable place to cross the river is only the mouth of the Longwu River.

Sending hundreds of people to cross the river at one time is really a big deal.

In other places, I am afraid that not even a hundred people can be placed, and the river is even wider, and even if it rushes through, there are only twenty or thirty people left.

Exhausted, you have to face a sentry post every other mile.

When the cavalry attacked, the Tibetans were immediately corpses.

On the north bank of the Yellow River, from Jianzha County to Longwu Village, 1,500 soldiers were stationed, and a large number of reinforcements could come from the east and west at any time.

If the Tibetans were really willing to make a great effort to send three to five hundred people ashore, then at least twice as many would have to die in the river.

It's not good to have this time to do anything.

Li Xuan shook his head and looked inside the tent.

At this moment, in the camp tent, there is a huge sand table on the left, and He Zhizhang and other students on the right are processing the paperwork.

Li Xuan nodded slightly at He Zhizhang, and then looked at the sand table on the left.

On the sand table is the mountainous terrain on both sides of the Yellow River in the Jianzha River section, but it spreads south from the easternmost Longwu Village.

The Tubo camp at the mouth of the Longwu River on the opposite side, the mountains on both sides, and the terrain of nearly 100 miles in the radius of the entire Tongren behind it, are spread out in turn.

Li Xuan has never been to colleagues, even if it seems that in the entire camp, there are very few who have been to colleagues.

If you want to win Tongren, you must first have enough understanding of the terrain of Tongren, so that after breaking through the Tubo camp on the opposite side, you can quickly rush forward, directly reach the city of Tongren, and then go west, blocking the narrow Anya Pass, so that the Tubo people cannot counterattack and recapture Tongren.

At this moment, the terrain of the entire sand table has been carved to one-third of the position of Tongren, and a road directly reaches the city of Tongren, but in more of the vast alpine areas, it is still blank, not to mention the road to the west.

Li Xuan looked at the sand table with a serious expression, especially his eyes were fixed on the direction of Tongren County, and he didn't pay much attention to the Tubo camp at the mouth of the Longwu River, which was the most difficult to conquer opposite.

On the side stood three old men respectfully, and behind them were the craftsmen of the military department who were in charge of carving the sand table.

These three old men had lived in Tongren for many years in their early years, but when they were occupied by Tibet, they retreated.

"Qin catches the head." Li Xuan looked sideways at the sixty-year-old man who was dressed in black, tall, and had a solemn face, and asked in a low voice, "How long will it take to complete the entire sand table?" ”

The original colleague caught the head of Qin Shi, and immediately arched his hand and said: "It will take two months to return to the prince, and it should be completed before the prince's request." ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, and said, "This king doesn't require you to be fast, complete it on time, be precise and fine, and there will be no errors...... You should know what it's for, and if something goes wrong, it's a felony right away. ”

The corners of Qin Shi's mouth twitched slightly, and then he arched his hand and said: "Lord Wang, the last time I went to my colleagues, it was also two years ago, mixed in the caravan, not to mention that there is a deviation in memory, that is, where the Tubo people have transformed in the past two years, we don't know anything, let alone natural disasters." ”

In the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is caused by plate uplift, and the plate impact area is even more frequent.

Jianzha, colleagues, and the first line of Shanzhou, every few years there will be a significant ground movement.

Under the ground movement, large and small changes can occur.

Thankfully, the area hasn't been touched for years.

"Nothing else, this king only needs you to do the most correct thing in your memory, and use the existing maps in the army as a basis to do your best." Li Xuan's expression became serious.

In the army, there have been terrain explorations in Tongren County, whether in previous years or in these years, but it is not easy to turn the formed map into a three-dimensional sand table, and someone needs to supplement, modify, and carve it finely.

Qin Shi immediately solemnly bowed his hand and said: "Don't worry, the prince, we will definitely do our best to ensure that the terrain is restored." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan bowed his head and said with a smile: "If you can successfully win your colleagues, you will definitely have a share of credit." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Several other people bowed their hands to Li Xuan at the same time, their eyes full of expectation.

Li Xuan smiled slightly, then nodded, and walked towards He Zhizhang and the others, he still had a lot of things to arrange.

Qin Shi stood on the side, looked at his companions beside him, and said in a low voice, "I heard that this time the attack of the Tubo people is very fierce. ”

"I heard it just now, it seems that a thousand Tibetan thieves were dispatched, more than 800 people died, and in the end, only more than 100 returned to the Tibetan camp."

Hearing this, Qin Shi was slightly stunned, and said with a strange face: "A thousand people are dispatched? ”

"Yes!" The old man next to him spoke again, looking excited, like an eighteen-year-old child, and whispered excitedly: "But most of them went to the bottom of the river to feed the fish." ”

In an instant, the corners of Qin Shi's mouth twitched slightly, and the body avoided human eyes.

However, he didn't notice that at this time, Li Xuan's gaze fell on him for a moment, and then quickly flashed.

……

Lifting the curtain of the back tent, two Qianniu guards were guarding the door, Li Xuan loosened his neckline, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in.

The back tent is very simple, a bed, a table, a knife holder, a hanger, a bookshelf, and the largest is a huge table covered with a gray cloth on the side.

Li Xuan took off the armor on his body, walked to the side of the table, and then lifted it hard, and everything under the gray cloth clearly appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes.

Sand table, Tongren County border sand table.

Compared to the one made by the Qin servants outside, this one is even more elaborate now, and even in many places, it is very different.

Li Xuan noticed that something was wrong with Qin Shi very early, at the beginning, the information provided by Qin Shi only had one or two deviations, Li Xuan thought that this was normal, after all, no one could confirm the correctness of his memory, let alone the terrain changes in the past few years.

However, as time passed, Qin Shi provided more and more misinformation, and even the correct information provided by other people was used by him to remember clearly, and he successfully confused the past, but these places are all important strategic locations, and it is okay to be cautious, but if you deliberately make trouble, it will be fatal.

If it weren't for the uselessness of those things outside to Li Xuan, Li Xuan would have beheaded him a long time ago.

Li Xuan walked to the table and sat down, then closed his eyes slightly, and the next moment, a new vision appeared in his sight.

The Tubo military village at the mouth of the Longwu River was all under his gaze, to be precise, under the gaze of a gray eagle in the night sky.

Further south, there is the entire Tongren area.

Li Xuan didn't expect the sand table map provided by Qin Shi to be of much use at the beginning, he had never believed in himself.

So while Qin Shi was drawing the sand table with the information they provided, Li Xuan was also quietly making his own sand table.

When the mistake between the two is getting bigger and bigger, especially in the key and important areas, after the mistake is corrected, the army moves along the wrong terrain, and if you are not careful, it is very likely to encounter an ambush, or even the whole army will be wiped out in the end.

Li Xuan did not forget that in Taohe Road, there were still three dead piles of Tubo people hidden, but no one knew where these three dead piles were hidden.

Now one has finally been exposed.

Today, the Tubo people suddenly crossed the river frantically, although there is a reason why Li Jinxing led the army to the county seat of Guide, it is also a trick for the Tubo people to wake up and hide the dead pile.

Li Xuan took a light breath, today's matter, it seems that everything is under his control, but the activation of the Tubo people's death stake is equivalent to raising the battle between the two sides to a higher level.

The only thing that is fortunate is that Li Xuan has always put him in the barracks after he was summoned to the Qin Servants, and the information related to contact has also been specially isolated, although there is not much loss, but he has heard a lot of information with his ears alone.

The most important thing is that he knew the news that Li Xuan was planning Tongren County.

His eyes opened, and Li Xuan's gaze fell on the location of the Tubo military camp on the sand table.

Do you want to tell the people of Tubo the news that you have a heart and a colleague in the county?

If Qin Shi was arrested directly, then naturally no news could be spread, so according to the original plan, they would still be able to take Tongren County steadily.

However, looking at today's offensive of the Tubo people, although it has the intention of awakening the dead pile, they are more likely to be watching the sharp piercing.

They want to kill them.

This was much stronger than Li Xuan's originally expected reaction, but it is very likely that the opportunity to attack his colleagues will come much earlier than expected.

No, not in advance.

If it is really advanced, it will have an impact on many aspects, especially Lanzhou.

If the large army cannot be in place at the same time, then without the response of the large army, it is very likely that they will not be able to hold their colleagues.

If the Black Tooth Changzhi cannot be contacted, then there will be a counterattack by the Tibetan army on both sides.

At that time, even if you win your colleagues, it will be difficult to hold on, and even if you do, you will inevitably pay a huge price.

Therefore, it is necessary to completely control the rhythm of the Tibetan people in their own hands.

Only in this way can the most desirable results be achieved.

Qin Shi, how can I use you?

Li Xuan began to bow her head and ponder.

……

In the darkness, Qin returned to his small tent.

The moment he entered the tent, Qin Shi's face was immediately extremely difficult to look at,

He is indeed the death stake of the Tubo people, and he was indeed a colleague to catch the head, but his youngest son has long fallen into the hands of the Tubo people.

Everything originated from the defeat of Dafeichuan, his eldest son and second son all died on the battlefield, and the last youngest son also fell into the hands of the Tubo people when he retreated.

Although he has been in Hezhou all these years, the Tubo people have been secretly contacting him, and even passed the letter of his youngest son directly to him.

During the years that the youngest son has been in Tibet, he has even married and had children there......

He didn't have a choice.

The reason why the Tubo people took a fancy to him was because he used to be a colleague catcher, and he was one of the people who knew his colleagues best in the whole Hezhou.

And among these people, his official position is the highest, and his words are difficult for others to refute at all.

This means that if the Tang Dynasty and Tubo go to war again, he will immediately be transferred to the Chinese army camp, or even by the side of the commander.

At the beginning, the activation code they discussed was that the Tubo people used thousands of troops to try to capture Longwu Village one night.

If he captures, he will continue to lurk, and if he can't attack, he will activate it immediately.

After that, it's time to get in touch.
