On the vast grassland, 5,000 cavalry formed a formation and marched towards the southeast.

There are many military flags, and the blades are cold.

The figure rises and falls, and the murderous aura is diffuse.

Countless war horses galloped back from the front, and then galloped out from the Chinese army, filling the entire grassland.

Liu Renliang was dressed in black clothes and black armor, and rode slowly.

Li Xuan followed by his side, his long sword hanging down.

Countless guards around him, solemnly guarded.

The rear followed a large number of ordnance, grain and grass.

……

"Yu Dashuai, the right leading guard has crossed the Yellow River and entered Guinan and Tongde."

"Great marshal, the right Xiao Guard cavalry has entered the Soma River Valley from the east of Dafei Sichuan."

"Great marshal, the right leopard Taowei has advanced to the east bank of the Yellow River and encountered the five thousand cavalry of Tuyuhun."

"Great marshal, the main force of the left guard has entered Tanggemu and encountered the eight thousand cavalry of Tubo head-on."

Looking at the general on his side and writing down the general situation, Liu Renliang spoke sideways: "Tell the Turkic Department behind, and then be on alert." ”

"Whoa!" One of the Thousand Bull Guards immediately turned around and galloped towards the rear.

The four-way army attacked Xinghai in unison, Liu Renliang was in the center, accompanied by 5,000 cavalry, and the rear army had 6,000 Turkic cavalry to respond at any time.

Qugou and Dafeichuan camps, each with 2,000 soldiers guarded by the village.

Liu Renliang arranged everything very closely, and did not give the opponent the slightest chance at all.

With everything in his heart, Liu Renliang looked sideways at Li Xuan, saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and asked, "The virtuous son-in-law is still thinking about the matter of Qinling?" ”

Li Xuan arched his hand, retracted his thoughts, bowed down and said, "Yes!" ”

Liu Renliang said calmly: "What does the virtuous son-in-law think is the most neglected part of this battle?" ”

Li Xuan took a light breath, and then said, "There are three. ”

"Is there so many?" Liu Renliang looked up in surprise, which really surprised him.

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded seriously and said: "The first place is the Maduo Snow Mountain in front, and the Qin Tomb is likely to be hidden in Wuhai; The second place is Guinan and Tongde on the east bank of the Yellow River, where it is indeed the place where the Tibetan soldiers are located, and the third place is the Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai behind it. ”

Maduo Snow Mountain is a cliché; Guinan Tongde did surprise Liu Renliang; But the Qinghai Nanshan behind him made Liu Renliang a little confused.

"The virtuous son-in-law is saying that the Tubo people will find a trail from the west of the Snow Mountain, and then touch the back side of the Nanshan Mountain to raid the Chinese army camp from behind?" After a slight pause, Liu Renliang asked with a puzzled face: "Then why don't they directly attack Dafeichuan, but have to go to Nanshan, although it seems that the benefits are not small, but the risks are also great." ”

"Because Dafeichuan and the Chinese army camp are traps, if you want to take the Chinese army that naturally has the greatest benefits, moreover, the Tubo Guangjun has this ability." Li Xuan calmly looked at Liu Renliang, the threat of the Tubo Light Army, Li Xuan never really forgot it.

Liu Renliang nodded calmly, indeed, the Tubo Light Army is the biggest variable in this war at the moment.

Li Xuan is also right, Liu Renliang does have a layout in secret.

"The Light Army is indeed difficult to defend." Liu Renliang had to sigh with emotion, then looked at Li Xuan again, and said in a deep voice: "But the core is still grain and grass." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan took a deep breath and said, "We are staring at their grain and grass, and they are also staring at our grain and grass. ”

"So, it's up to everyone to shoot faster." Liu Renliang paused slightly, and then said, "Son-in-law, your people are still staring at Xinghai's grain and grass, right?" ”

"Yes." Li Xuan didn't hide it, and said directly: "They sneaked into Xinghai half a month ago, contacted the people from Xituguhun, and hid around the Xinghai grain depot, if the army makes a mistake, then they will immediately burn all the grain and grass, but if the army wins, they will stop the retreating Tubo people from burning the grain and grass." ”

Liu Renliang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, Your Majesty is right, you are overthinking; In terms of forwards, among the generals of the Tang Dynasty, you are considered superior; In terms of defense, even if there are few generals in the DPRK and China, there are few people who can break it, but the most suitable for you is to be a staff officer in the army, and whoever has you as a deputy will be invincible. ”

Li Xuan showed a wry smile on his face and said, "Yue Weng, the position of joining the army in the army is not high. ”

"In order to transport grain, the staff officer in the march is the deputy commander of the army, and the most important thing is that in the DPRK, this is the position of the squire of the military department." Liu Renliang's words jumped to the ceiling of Li Xuan's court's heavy power, and he was a squire in the military department.

There will not be any emperor who will let the children of the clan serve as the secretary of the military department.

The squire of the military department, Li Xuan is already the head.

"After all, the Ministry of Rites is a false title, the Ministry of Industry is a hard worker, and others, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment are all impossible, so you can either be the secretary of the Nine Temples, or you will be the servant of the six departments, and the six squires are the highest in the military department." Liu Renliang looked at Li Xuan with a complicated expression.

If Li Xuan was not a clan, he could push Li Xuan to the position of the next Zaifu, but he was a clan, and when he became a two-term soldier of the Ministry of War, he would be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for two terms, and then prepare to be a scholar, which was Li Xuan's central road.

"If this is the case, the grandson-in-law will also be satisfied." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and the moment he lowered his head, his eyes flickered.

If Li Zhi keeps alive, Li Xuan is afraid that his future will be calculated to death.

But as soon as Li Zhi died, Empress Wu came to power, and the two families of Li and Wu fought each other.

Li Xuan's opportunity came.

"Then again, you're thinking too much, and that's a good and a bad thing. If someone takes advantage of your shortcomings and sets up doubts, you will hesitate and eventually delay the fighter. Liu Renliang looked over the heavy army, looked at the front army more than 20 miles away, and said softly: "So be decisive and fast." ”

The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

Military strategy, all the same.

"My son-in-law has been taught." Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly.

Liu Renliang is right, he is really likely to be caught by others to suffer from the weakness of gains and losses.

But it is not easy to change this problem, and on the battlefield, he can see everything clearly through his eagle eye.

But in the court situation, it is difficult to see through people's hearts.

Unless he can put his eyeliner all over the world, but in that case, won't he become the brocade guard of the Ming Dynasty?

Li Xuan smiled slightly, but in an instant, his hand was clenched.

……

"Marshal, Wang Xiaojie, the main force of the left guard, broke through the eight thousand cavalry of Tubo."

"Great marshal, the Tubo and Tuyuhun cavalry in the Soma River Valley and Warigang took the initiative to retreat."

"Yu Dashuai, the right leading guard Li Duozuo broke into Guinan."

"Yu Dashuai, the right leader of the army guards Black Tooth Changzhi broke into Tongde."

The two pieces of news reached Liu Renliang's hands almost one after the other, and they were getting closer and closer to Xinghai.

General Liu Renliang handed the report to Li Xuan, then looked at the grassland in front of him calmly, and said in a deep voice: "Datang is very strong, you need to understand your companions." ”

Li Xuan nodded seriously, even if he passed through Qinghai, it was inevitable that he would be a little floating.

I always feel in my heart that Wang Xiaojie, Li Duozuo, and Hei Tooth Changzhi, no matter how strong they are, are worse than him, but this is not the case.

The combat power of the three of them on the battlefield was no worse than his.

Especially Wang Xiaojie, the 6,000 Left Guard cavalry, let him directly break through the blockade of the 8,000 Tubo cavalry, which is really good.

But fortunately, these people will not become his opponents, on the contrary, if they are operated well, these people will become his best helpers.

Liu Renliang stared carefully at the expression on Li Xuan's face, and seeing a smile on his face subconsciously, Liu Renliang finally let go of his heart.

Li Xuan still underestimated the importance of his Xinzhou assassination history.

Although there are 300 states in Datang, there are still countless elites vying for the position of a state assassin, and it is needless to say how many people are staring at it.

Not to mention in the court, I don't know how many people are staring at Li Xuan's flaws.

The last time he was falsely accused of plotting by Shi Zhang Enzheng, it was just an appetizer.

There will be many days like this in the future, and Li Xuan wants to sit firmly in the position of the assassin of this state, and the key is that he can't make mistakes.

The emperor's vigilance against the clan is extremely sensitive, and he doesn't know how many clan assassins have committed suicide by his subordinate Changshi who joined the army.

There are many things, not even a single thought.

Especially when he's so young.

Liu Renliang, as Li Xuan's Yue Weng, also as the left minister, must ensure this.

Now it can be seen that Li Xuan does not have too many thoughts in his heart, which is very important.

Li Xuan looked up at Liu Renliang and asked in a low voice: "Yue Weng, what extent is the war between the DPRK and Tibet intended, this year's Xinghai will be conquered, and next year Wuhai will be taken, and then tens of thousands of troops will not be allowed to stay like this on the Western Front." ”

"Hitting the law is the ultimate goal, but first of all, we must take Wuhai, gain a foothold in Wuhai, gain a firm foothold, and then continue to plot. As for what happens in the future, it depends on how the situation in Wuhai will be next year. Liu Renliang turned his head to look in the direction of Wuhai.

Above the Wuhai Sea, Datang has not never been up, but it has never really gained a foothold.

The emperor appointed Li Xuan as the assassin of Xinzhou to see if he could have any surprising ideas that would allow the Tang Dynasty to gain a foothold in Wuhai.

Retracting his gaze, Liu Renliang calmly looked ahead and said, "Let's go, let's go and see Xinghai City, which will be where you will govern in the future." ”

Li Xuan was stunned, has the DPRK and the Central Government already designated Xinghai as the seat of Xinzhou?

He originally thought it was Qugou.

Xinghai is too close to Tibet.

……

Xinghai, the land of ancient Rongqiang.

When Tuyuhun first came, it was the capital, then to Qugou, and then to Fuqi City.

At the wide city gate, the bloodstains of the battle have not yet been cleaned, and there are traces of Tang soldiers inside and outside.

"Returning to the marshal, this battle killed more than 4,000 Tubo cavalry, more than 5,000 Tuyuhun cavalry, captured more than 6,000 Tuyuhun cavalry, more than 3,000 Tubo cavalry, and more than 8,000 Tuyuhun cavalry retreated into the mountains along the southeast mountain road.

Xiao Siye took Wang Xiaojie to stand under the West Gate City to welcome the arrival of Liu Renliang and Li Xuan.

"Count the grain and grass in the city, clear all the Tibetan soldiers, and collect all the soldiers in the city with blades of more than two feet." After Liu Renliang finished speaking, he slowly beat his horse and entered Xinghai City.

"The last will obey." Xiao Siye and Wang Xiaojie breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then turned around and followed Liu Renliang into Xinghai City.

At this time, it was nearly dusk in the grassland, and all the people in the city were expelled home.

Liu Renliang then asked, "Where is the right leading guard now?" ”

"The right leader Wei Zhonglang will Li Duozuo and Heiya Changzhi, according to which there are only thirty miles left, and the Tubo soldiers fled along the way, and they are rushing towards Xinghai." Xiao Siye said, and glanced sideways at Wang Xiaojie.

In this battle, Li Duozuo and Hei Tooth Changzhi's abilities were all shown.

Wang Xiaojie has two more opponents after him, not to mention Li Xuan.

"What about the Qianniu Guard, I heard that they took the first step to protect the grain and grass, so that the grain and grass were not burned by the Tubo people?" Liu Renliang mentioned it in passing.

"The Thousand Cow Guards are already guarding the City Lord's Mansion." Xiao Siye glanced at Li Xuan, he didn't expect that this time Liu Renliang obviously didn't give Li Xuan a chance to fight, but Li Xuan's Qianniuwei was stunned by more than 30 people lurking in from the narrow mountain road of his colleagues, and his means were really extraordinary.

"Hmm." Liu Renliang nodded and said, "Order all departments to strictly guard the key roads everywhere to prevent the Tubo and Tuyuhun people from coming back again." Three days later, it was time for them to withdraw to Wuhai. ”

Without Xinghai to provide grain and grass, it would be impossible for the Tubo people to stay here for long.

Xinghai is more than 800 miles away from Wuhai, and compared with going to Dafeichuan, it is more farther, more rugged and difficult to travel.

Liu Renliang turned to look at Li Xuan and said, "Nanchang Wang inspected the history of the army and dealt with Xinghai government affairs. ”

"Whoa!" Li Xuan arched his hand, took a deep breath, and raised his head.

Tongren, Zeku, Xinghai, Tongde, Guinan, Qugou, all under his sight.
