The night is like a curtain, covering the four fields.

Qin Shi stood in the southwest corner of the barracks, on the edge of the Yellow River, guarding the blind spot of his vision, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, a head suddenly appeared in the turbulent river in front of him, his black hair was tightly tied behind his head, his face was clear and cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.

Only on the right ear, there is still a crescent-shaped silver knife.

This turned out to be a woman, half of her body was hidden in the water, revealing a black close-fitting water backing, and her undulating posture was particularly wonderful.

Seeing this woman, Qin Shi immediately bowed his head and chanted something, not daring to look at it at all.

Immediately, a piece of wood was thrown by the woman at Qin Shi's feet, and Qin Shi quickly took out the wood chip in his arms, and then threw it into the hands of the black-haired woman.

The woman in black grabbed the wood chip, then glanced at Qin Shi coldly, and then dived into the water again, completely missing in the turbulent Yellow River water.

Qin Shi lowered his body and picked up the wooden bark, then turned around and walked towards his own tent in the back camp.

Qin Shi's pass token was specially crafted, allowing him to pass freely through most of the rear camp.

Entering the tent, Qin Shi immediately took out the wooden chips, quickly swept the words in them, and after writing them down closely, he put the wooden chips on the fire.

The flames licked, and Qin Shi's eyes also fell on the flames, but I don't know why at this moment, Qin Shi felt that his spirit was inexplicably in a trance, and the next moment, when he heard a "bang", Qin Shi's whole person smashed directly on the table, and then fell asleep directly.

It was at this moment that a figure stepped out of the corner of the tent, picked up the piece of wood, took a closer look, and then withdrew silently.

"Oops!" A cry of pain came out of Qin Shi's mouth.

……

On the sentry tower of the military camp, Li Xuan wore a black brocade robe and calmly looked at the Tubo military village opposite.

Since the defeat of the attack that day, the Tibetans did not give up, but changed their attack methods.

Rafts began to be laid horizontally on the river near the south bank, and a large number of soldiers were placed to guard against the stakes coming from upstream.

Of course, Li Xuan was not used to them, and every three or five hours, a sharp wooden stake hit the raft fiercely.

Although they were all blocked by the Tibetan soldiers, they still continued.

The Tibetans worked hard to widen the width of the raft, as if they really wanted to cover the entire surface of the Yellow River with rafts, but it did not exceed the middle of the Yellow River.

On the north shore, more than a dozen catapults have been placed on the ground, and countless rolling stones are densely stacked behind them.

As soon as the Tibetan raft appeared within the range of the rolling stone cart, it would immediately be hit in all directions.

Both sides are preparing their own means, until one day in the future, whoever can't stand it will take the lead in attacking.

Li Duozuo was standing beside Li Xuan, covered in black clothes and black armor.

Neither of them spoke, just watched calmly.

At this moment, a clear sound of footsteps sounded below.

Immediately, Li Zhu walked up quickly and handed a note to Li Xuan.

After Li Xuan glanced at it, he handed it to Li Duozuo.

After Li Duozuo read it, his brows furrowed: "They asked Qin Shi to find out the progress of our army's grain road improvement. ”

"There's a master over there!" Li Xuan took a light breath and said, "He was not confused by these things on the surface at all, and he always stared at the most important points of our army. ”

Li Duozuo nodded with a heavy face, and said: "The weight of the grain road is self-evident, and even once Qingdong is taken, Taohe Road will become the key to supporting the grain and grass of the Lanzhou army, so they must destroy our grain road." ”

"But no matter what you think, they have to break through our camp, they can't take it here, and all their ideas are delusional." Li Xuan said, looked at the rafts on the river again, and then said softly: "Brother Gaichuan, I have a feeling that the other party must have the means to attack Longwu Village again, and what is lacking is nothing more than timing. ”

"That's why the prince finally decided to stay with Qin Shi." Li Duozuo now has to admit that Li Xuan's current approach does indeed have a certain amount of truth.

"When a person has a shortcut, he will have less mind to use on the right path, and more luck."

Li Xuan glanced sideways in the direction of Qin Shi's tent, then looked at the Tubo camp opposite, and said softly: "This king doesn't know who my opponent is this time, but there is no doubt that this is a very powerful character. So it's definitely worth it for us to use a piece that is already in our hands to distract the other party. ”

Li Duozuo looked at Li Xuan and cautiously reminded: "Lord Wang, be careful of capsizing." ”

Li Xuan smiled, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "What Brother Gai Chuan said is extremely true, fortunately, when I waited for the original plan, the timing of the attack was set after the Lanzhou army fully attacked, so that we would not be taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

"The prince knows it in his heart." Li Duozuo nodded seriously.

He agreed with Li Xuan's point of view, in addition to Li Xuan's plan being feasible, the other thing was that Li Xuan's goal was very clear, that is, on the premise of exterminating the living force of the Tubo people.

Once the soldiers of the Tibetan people were killed and wounded too badly, then no matter what kind of great plan they had, they would be in vain in the end.

"There is also Qin Shi, he and the other two old men, we must strengthen 'protection', don't let them leave the camp, don't let them touch anything that shouldn't be in contact with them, let's take a look, what kind of means does that Qin catcher have." The corners of Li Xuan's mouth slightly brought up a hint of slaughter.

The enemy on the opposite side was obviously not an ordinary person, Li Xuan's dozen catapults were placed on the bank, and no matter what the other party's plan was, it was easy to cross the river.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to deal with these dozen catapults, but Qin Shi is just an old Zhishi catcher, even if he has a certain amount of privilege here, but it is only in the back camp, and the front camp is not allowed to enter at all.

But Li Xuan believes that the opponent must have a way.

In addition, there are three hidden piles of the Tubo people here, and Li Xuan does not know whether the other two have been activated.

Therefore, he can't easily move on this chess piece that he has mastered.

In addition to strictly controlling the information that Qin Shi had access to, Li Xuan would also provide him with some unimportant, even erroneous information.

See what he can come up with.

Don't forget, Qin Ming has always been in Li Xuan's hands, and all the information he and the Tubo people have passed on are also in Li Xuan's hands.

Once something critical happens, Li Xuan can cut off this connection at any time.

"By the way, Lord Wang, who is the woman who contacted Qin Shi, is there still a woman in the Tubo army?" Li Duozuo's eyes lifted slightly.

Li Xuan glanced at him in surprise, and then said: "Actually, this king can't be sure, but looking at his skills, he can't say, he is the same clan of the Guangjun." ”

The Guangjun, the Tubo Goba people, and the young and middle-aged people were all incorporated into the Tubo Guangjun, so what about the women of the Goba tribe.

The Goba people are martial and warlike, not afraid of death, good at using poison, and like wolves, not only for men, but also for women.

The woman who swam 400 meters through the turbulent Yellow River in the middle of the night just now may be a woman from the Goba tribe.

"They are not the Light Army, perhaps the opposing Secret Guards; Where there is light, there is naturally darkness. Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's not important, let's go, let's go back, our war with the Tubo people has just begun." ”

……

"Da Da" a rush of horses' hooves came from the west.

In the big tent, Li Xuan glanced at Qin Shi, who was a little curious, and then bowed his head indifferently.

At this time, a Qianniuwei quickly came in from outside the door, then walked in front of Li Xuan, and solemnly handed an official document to the case in front of Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took the official document with a calm expression, opened it, glanced at it, and then said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, just now, Yan Guogong captured the county seat of Guide and sent troops to capture the east mouth of the Nile Lake, which is far away from the Tubo army across the Nile Lake. Once the Tubo army is defeated and the Nile Lake is completely taken, it can go north, reach the south entrance of Riyue Mountain, and connect with the Lanzhou army. ”

When everyone present heard the news, they were directly stunned.

Half a month ago, Li Jinxing had just arrived at the city of Guide, and now he had directly captured Guide, and even went 30 miles west to the east of the Nile.

At the west entrance of the Nile, there is a mountain road, as long as you take the mountain road, you can immediately kill at the foot of the Sun Moon Mountain.

Raid the Tubo army from behind, assist the main force of Lanzhou, take the Sun Moon Mountain, and even ambush the city, then the overall situation can be determined.

Just when everyone's minds were gradually getting excited, He Zhizhang's calm voice sounded: "Dare to ask the prince, how many Tubo soldiers did Yan Guogong annihilate under Guide City." ”

"A thousand." Li Xuan's expression was calm and terrifying, as if he didn't mean to be happy at all because of this official document.

"In this way, at this moment in the Nile, there are still 5,000 soldiers in the Tibetans." He Zhizhang frowned and looked at Li Xuan, and asked, "Dare to ask the prince, how many soldiers are there under the general's command?" ”

"Five thousand."

He Zhizhang asked directly: "Is it five thousand against five thousand?" ”

"Isn't it?" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Behind these five thousand people, there are seven thousand cavalry, and Yan Guogong is five thousand against twelve thousand Tubo troops. ”

Everyone present suddenly slowed down their breathing.

A trace of bitterness flashed in Li Xuan's eyes, everyone actually didn't know that at the moment, for the army, the real trouble was not the Tubo people, but the attrition of the plateau miasma.

So far, the number of dead and wounded in the army is less than 1,000, but more than 1,000 soldiers have fallen because of the plateau miasma.

If you go further west, more and more soldiers will fall from the plateau.

He Zhizhang looked at Li Xuan and asked, "Lord Wang, now the general is going to transfer the water army to help?" ”

The Nile Lake is vast, the army is marching south, and now if the Hangzhou troops are transferred up, they will definitely be able to support the front line.

Li Xuan shook his head directly and said, "It's not that time yet, the general knows everything, don't worry, it'll be fine." ”

Li Xuan's indifferent and confident look made everyone relax uncontrollably.

They know Li Xuan well enough, although the king of Nanchang is not an absolutely qualified general, he is definitely an absolutely qualified coach.

The army is in front, and he is behind.

No matter what the requirements are ahead, he can provide quick and effective support.

"Lord Wang......" As soon as He Zhizhang spoke, the rapid drum beat outside suddenly sounded.

Tibet is coming.

Li Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, see it, the Tubo people are in a hurry, and the county seat of Guide is lost, and they are finally in a hurry." ”

Everyone present laughed, but there were several people who were completely smiling.

This includes Qin Shi and He Zhizhang.

Li Xuan nodded slightly at He Zhizhang, and then walked out of the big tent to meet the attack of the Tubo people.
