On the endless grassland, the wind is cold and the killing intent is solemn.

A thousand black-clothed cavalry quickly bypassed the north and south Horusun Lake and headed towards Zarmu.

The speed of the black-clothed cavalry was not fast, but the Tibetans concentrated all 10,000 Tibetan cavalry in the northern part of Zarmu in the shortest possible time.

They were so afraid of Li Xuan.

At this time, in a place where the Tubo people could not see, tens of thousands of East Tuyuhun cavalry had already pounced towards the 15,000 West Tuyuhun cavalry on the Golmud steppe.

At the same time, the cavalry of the 4,000 Tang Army slaughtered the center of the cavalry of Zarmu and Xituyuhun.

The 10,000 Tuyuhun cavalry that had just been killed between the north and south Horusun lakes were immediately stopped.

……

The battlefield in the east was the first to start.

It was also the Tuyuhun people, with the way they were most familiar with fighting, who launched the most tragic battle.

The 10,000 Tuyuhun cavalry in the middle immediately couldn't help but kill the Tang cavalry.

On the central battlefield, a bloody battle immediately began.

But at this time, five thousand Tang infantry soldiers suddenly surrounded from both sides of the battlefield.

Countless crossbow bolts flew into the air over the grassland.

Countless lives disappeared from the battlefield in an instant.

At this time, a thousand black-clothed cavalry suddenly appeared on the easternmost battlefield.

In just half an hour, the black-clothed cavalry had directly penetrated the formation of Xituguhun.

Immediately, with this thousand black-clothed cavalry as the vanguard, 10,000 Dongtuyuhun cavalry followed closely and rushed over together.

The cyan dragon flag fluttered high.

The moment they saw the banner clearly, all the East Tuyuhun cavalry immediately frantically rushed to kill, while all the West Tuyuhun cavalry fell off their horses in horror and fled.

The cavalry of the East Tuyuhun quickly entered the cavalry of the West Tuyuhun, but only stopped a third of the cavalry of the West Tuyuhun, and the battle flag stopped.

The Eastern Tuyuhun cavalry also stopped in an instant, and no one crossed the battle flag and continued to move forward.

This scene happened in a very short time, and within half an hour, the cyan dragon flag continued to rush and kill.

……

Countless Western Tuyuhun cavalry frantically rushed across the north and south Horusun Lake, and rushed in the direction of Zarmu and Golmud.

The Tang cavalry and foot soldiers immediately slowed down at this moment.

The cavalry of Tuguhun in the east and west rushed one after another, and finally gathered under the banner of the cyan dragon and slowly pressed towards Zarmu.

Zarmu is empty.

When the cyan dragon banner appeared under the city of Zarmu, there was no trace of any Tibetan cavalry in the city.

Even less than half of the grain that was originally stored in the city remained.

Li Xuan, dressed in red clothes and gold armor, rode a war horse and approached Zarmu, looking at all this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Golmud is over." ”

Ming Chongyan, Murong Nuo, followed behind Li Xuan for a while.

Half of Zarmu's grain stock was taken away by the Tibetans, indicating that they had no intention of holding on at all.

They don't guard the north gate of Golmud, how can they guard Golmud.

Golmud is finished.

All the plans in this, from formulation to implementation, Ming Chongyan and Murong Nuo saw it in their eyes.

They never imagined that this extremely simple plan, just because a thousand black-clothed cavalry directly broke the balance of power on the battlefield, would completely destroy nearly 40,000 Tubo and Tuyuhun cavalry.

Of course, the total number of soldiers killed and wounded on both sides did not exceed 5,000, and more of them fled.

More than 5,000 Western Tuyuhun cavalry joined the Murong clan.

"Zhenren, please send a message to Dayan Mangjiebo, this king will give him one night, and no one will be able to leave Golmud until the sun rises tomorrow." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Ming Chongyan, and Ming Chongyan rarely arched his hand and said, "Oh! ”

Li Xuan immediately turned his head to look at Murong Nuo's bowl, and said directly in front of everyone: "Dadu Governor, after occupying Golmud, prepare three thousand people for seven days of grain and grass. The remaining right leading guards, left guards, and Hangzhou soldiers will go to Chaidan, Delingha, and Fuqicheng one after another to transport grain and grass for the northern army. ”

"Whoa!" Murong Nuo's bowl immediately surrendered.

Li Xuan fulfilled his promise and never stayed after taking Golmud, and left immediately, which made Murong Nuo and Ming Chongyan feel relieved.

……

Golmud, the most prosperous city at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, was once the most important node of the Southern Silk Road.

At dawn, the Tang army completely blocked the last road to the west.

By the time the army arrived, the gates were wide open.

Li Xuan entered the city with Murong Nuo's bowl, as well as Ming Chongyan, and five thousand Tuyuhun cavalry.

Although there are differences between the East and the West, they were a family a few decades ago, and many people are even related.

"Three thousand cavalry immediately drove to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, occupied all the minerals here, and waited until the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the people of the Shaofu Prison came to take over, and everything was entrusted to the real people." Li Xuan sat on the high seat and looked at Ming Chongyan calmly.

Ming Chongyan was stunned for a moment, but then remembered that Li Xuan was about to leave, Shi Jin, Qiu Zhenmu, Yan Tao and others were also going to leave immediately, and now he was the only one who could be in charge of this matter.

"Originally, I wanted to accompany the prince to Xinghai to have a look." Ming Chongyan stood up with a wry smile, and then arched his hand and said, "The subordinate will receive the order." ”

Li Xuan nodded calmly, Ming Chongyan's purpose, how Li Xuan couldn't see through.

No matter from which point of view, Li Xuan, a clan with strong combat power, is something that cannot be ignored by the ministers of the DPRK and China.

That is, in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor closed everything, and in a different era, Li Xuan had no chance.

And, of course, the threat of Tibet.

"Dadu Governor, immediately send people to the west to completely block the road for Dayan Mang's counterattack." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Murong Nuo's bowl with a solemn expression.

"Whoa!" Murong Nuo's bowl immediately gave up, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Datang's support for him had ended here.

For the rest, if he wants to unify the entire Tuyuhun, he has to rely on his own strength.

"And." Li Xuan spoke again and said: "Now, Dongtuguhun occupies Fuqi City, Delingha and Golmud, and the restoration of the country has officially begun to be on the agenda, Dadu Governor, you have to prepare early, Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven are still waiting." ”

"Rest assured, the Murong clan will definitely live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the Queen of Heaven." Murong Nuo's expression was invigorated.

Occupy the three cities at the same time and restore the East Tuyuhun, no matter what, he can confess to his dead father Khan.

"There is also the matter of rewarding the soldiers, Brother Qiu, you are responsible for everything, and it will be handled according to the Tang law and the regulations of the army." Li Xuan's gaze fell on Qiu Zhenmu, and a smile appeared on his face.

Countless soldiers fought with him, for nothing more than money and military rewards.

This must not be disadvantaged.

"The last general commands." Qiu Zhenmu immediately stood up.

Li Xuan nodded, looked at Su Baotong who was standing on the side, his face was solemn, and said, "Baotong, find some Xituguhun people and let them escape to Xinghai." ”

"Whoa!" Su Baotong immediately agreed.

Everyone present rose to prominence at the same time.

As soon as the battle in Golmud here ended, Li Xuan immediately set his sights on Xinghai.

"One last thing, trouble the Metropolitan Governor to prepare three thousand sets of black sweaters, black cloaks, black leather boots, black gloves, as for the battle armor, forget it, the original battle armor is blacked." Li Xuan looked at Murong Nuo and said, "This money, the right guard will come out." ”

"Not necessarily!" Murong Nuo immediately stood up and said with a sincere face: "The prince has paid a lot for Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun should be reciprocated. ”

"The Metropolitan Governor said this, which made Xuan a little embarrassed, but Xuan was ashamed." Li Xuan nodded slightly in gratitude.

But in fact, everyone knew that Li Xuan had no intention of paying at all, but now the last thing the Murong clan wanted was to see Li Xuan stay.

……

In the dead of night, in the study.

There were still some ink stains on the scraps of paper on the table.

That is the trace left by Li Xuan's recital and family letter that has just been written and sent to Chang'an.

I hope that taking Golmud so smoothly this time will not make Empress Wu too vigilant.

As for the emperor, Li Xuan didn't care, whether it was Pei Xingjian or Xue Rengui, Li Xuan was far from being able to compare.

Even his own father-in-law, Liu Renliang, can single-handedly suppress him, so what Li Xuan shows at most is the image of a genius general.

Since he said that he wanted to be the champion of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xuan didn't mind showing that he was not inferior to Huo Quzhi's talent.

But that's about it.

The emperor had been on guard.

Once the new state is established, Li Xuan will immediately relinquish his military power and become a state assassin.

Without military power, even as the history of the border state, Li Xuan's command of the army cannot be too many, and the number of three thousand is up to the sky.

Packing up his mind, Li Xuan turned around and calmly packed up the collection of books in the garrison mansion.

At this time, Li Zhu appeared behind Li Xuan: "Lord Wang, the people who went to Tarding are back, and the Tubo people are relocating the grain and grass that they have stolen from Golmud, as well as Dayan Mang, and there are no plans to make a comeback for the time being." ”

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Don't worry about them, they will be the trouble of the Murong clan in the future." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu arched his hand.

Li Xuan turned sideways, looked at the document on the table behind him, and said directly: "There are a lot of local household registrations, mountain and river topography, and mineral records, all copy a copy and take it away, let our people, go to the north to survey, there is an open-pit coal mine and two iron mines over there, determine the location and reserves, and then send people to small-scale mining, Shi Duwei's people will help cover up, if anyone else finds out, all of them will be destroyed." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu bowed his hand, and then silently exited the room.

Li Xuan took a light breath, his trip to Qingxi, in addition to taking Golmud, the biggest purpose was to find coal mines and iron mines.

With these three mines, in the future war with Tibet, his demand for the DPRK and China will be greatly reduced.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on the map on one side.

Qingbei, Delingha, Chaka Northwest Xicheng, Qugou, and then Xinghai, everything in the colleagues is connected.

Not only that, Golmud fell into the hands of the Murong clan, and Dayan Mangjiebo's source of money and food was reduced by half.

It was impossible for the Tibetans to allocate money to him, so he could only rely on the Western Regions for grain, grass and supplies.

But on that side, Li Xuan's caravan had already taken the opportunity to infiltrate.

Now that Dayan Mang's external needs have increased, then his people will be able to increase their penetration and control of Dayan Mang's waves.

When the time comes, you just need to turn your palm gently......

Looking at the entire Qingxi Basin in front of him, Li Xuan roared silently in his heart:

Wait until the next moment, when he comes here again.

The cyan dragon flag is fluttering, and the entire Qingxi Basin, the entire Qaidam, and the entire land of wealth will fall into his hands.
