Dafei Chuan, Dafei Ling.

The grass is wormwood, a piece of life,

Three camps covering an extremely wide area stretch from northeast to southwest, stretching to the Majixue Mountain Pass in the distance.

Banners stand in a forest, surrounded by ravines, countless soldiers practice with ge, and the sound of killing shocks the sky.

In the distance, a group of black-clad and black-armored soldiers escorted hundreds of grain trucks from the eastern road, slowly approaching.

Ten war horses galloped out of the camp, led by a military uniform, and the body was straight to supervise the royal Shi Lou Shide.

At the front of the grain truck, Li Xuan, who was also dressed in black clothes and black armor, raised his eyebrows, and his expression instantly softened.

Lou Shide, who was full of excitement, rode to Li Xuan's eyes, turned over and dismounted, and said to Li Xuan: "The last general has seen the prince, and the handsome will let the last man greet the prince in the future." ”

"The last general?" Li Xuan turned over and dismounted, and asked in surprise: "Lou Yushi has changed to a martial artist?" ”

"Doctor Chaosan, Zuowei Sima Lou Shide has seen the prince." As he spoke, Lou Shide bowed heavily to Li Xuan.

Doctor Chaosan, from the fifth grade, Zuowei Sima, from the sixth grade.

Lou Shide was the former superintendent of the imperial history, and he was on the eighth grade, but now he is transferred, which can be described as super-promoted.

"Lou Sima, please get up." Li Xuan frowned and raised his head, and then asked, "Is this matter ...... the court?"

"It was Zongren who invited himself, the marshal recommended it, and His Majesty allowed it." Lou Shide bowed slightly again.

Li Xuan smiled, personally helped Lou Shide up, and said at the same time: "This position of Chaosan doctor, I am afraid that Your Majesty is happy to put pen to paper for Sima Rong, so I will give it, Sima Ke must not live up to Your Majesty's trust!" ”

"Your Majesty is gracious, and Zongren will always remember it." Lou Shide bowed down seriously again.

Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid I'm in a hurry for this food in the army, right?" ”

"Yes." Lou Shide straightened up and led Li Xuan towards the camp, and said at the same time: "Since the beginning of the month, the grain and grass sent to the front of the army have begun to arrive late, at first it was three or two days, and then it was ten days and half a month. ”

Li Xuan nodded solemnly and said, "Although this year's drought is not serious, it is impossible to get the people to support the army more. ”

"Fortunately, the grain in Yizhou has arrived." Lou Shide took Li Xuan and walked directly into the camp gate, and a military grain officer entered the Chinese army's granary with a grain cart behind.

Today's Chinese army has 10,000 people.

Wuhai has Wang Xiaojie's 5,000 left guards, and Kuhai has 5,000 right leading guards with black teeth.

There are 5,000 right leading guards of Li Duozuo in Changshui Pass in the mountains, and there are 5,000 right leading guards led by Li Jinxing in the front camp at the foot of the mountain.

The Chinese army battalion has 5,000 left guards and 5,000 right guards.

The rear army camp had 5,000 right guards.

In addition, there were 4,000 right Xiaowei Tuyuhun cavalry in Qugou, and 6,000 Turkic soldiers encamped in the Shazhuyu River.

In addition, the 3,000 right guard cavalry under Li Xuan, the 3,000 state soldiers, the 5,000 left guard Yangzhou soldiers who were responsible for transporting grain and grass, and the 2,000 Shudi mountain soldiers in the mountains.

58,000 in all.

Except for the 3,000 state soldiers under Li Xuan's command, the rest of the troops, grain and grassland were originally transferred by the local government.

The logistical pressures are clear.

And that's not even counting the war horses.

Lou Shide led Li Xuan to the big tent of the Chinese army, and said at the same time: "No one expected that this military food crisis would come so quickly, if it wasn't for the prince's timely transfer of military food from Shuzhong, I'm afraid that Wuhai Wang Xiaojie Zhonglang would have to withdraw his troops there." ”

"In the country of Tianfu in Shuzhong, this drought has not affected Shuzhong, so the matter of grain and grass is not a problem."

Li Xuan looked at the generals on both sides and lifted the curtains, then looked at Liu Xianli on the main seat of the Chinese army, and solemnly arched his hand: "The last general, Li Xuan, has seen the chief manager." ”

"King of Nanchang, please get up." Liu Xianli raised his hand slightly, and then asked: "How often can the military food in Shuzhong be transported this time?" ”

"Once every seven days, 500,000 catties at a time, enough for the army to fight this battle." Li Xuan gave it up seriously.

Everyone in the tent breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, this time the pressure of military rations really tossed them enough.

After all, before this, no one expected that the food problem would be so serious.

"It was originally expected that the granaries in various places would be enough to support until the end of the war, but who would have thought that the granaries in various places along the way were more or less insufficient, and the accumulation led to an emergency on the front line."

Liu Xianli waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know how many heads were ordered to be cut off, but there is still not much to solve the situation on the front line, but fortunately, the prince has arrived." ”

Li Xuan straightened up, looked at Liu Xianli and said, "Then this year's drought is much more troublesome than previously expected?" ”

"It's true, a lot of the grain transported from the south to Chang'an has been intercepted, and less and less has been transported to the northwest." Liu Xianli stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Wang, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Sir." Li Xuan sat down on one side with a worried face, then looked at Liu Xianli and asked, "Dashuai, what about after the war?" ”

"Let's talk about the post-war after the war, let's talk about the present." Liu Xianli waved his hand and intercepted Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Speaking of the military." Liu Xianli's expression became solemn and looked at the people in the tent.

At this moment, Liu Xianli is sitting in the central position.

On the left side is Li Jinxing, the general of the right leading army, and Li Jinxing is Li Xuan.

On the right side is the left guard general Xiao Siye, and at the bottom is the right guard general Shi Yong.

All the generals of this expedition are here.

Today is the most complete high-level meeting in the military in the past few months.

"This time, the king of Nanchang sent grain and grass in time, and the pressure before the army was reduced, and the subsequent withdrawal plan could not be so hasty, and there was no need to worry about being seen through by Qinling, but he could take the opportunity to calculate Qinling's hand." Liu Xianli smiled faintly.

This time, the army strategy, the decisive battle was chosen in Dafeichuan.

Liu Xianli was stationed in the camp and quietly transformed the entire camp into a killing fortress.

When Li Xuan entered from the outside just now, he had already seen some clues, although the killing machine was deeply hidden, some of the ballistas exposed outside were still shining with a sharp cold light.

Just wait for Qin Ling and his Tubo cavalry to come over.

If this battle is according to Li Xuan's original plan, I am afraid that this battle will overthrow the nearly 100,000 army of Tubo.

The national situation of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo will also be reversed.

It's not easy.

Therefore, before that, the first and most important thing was to successfully withdraw 5,000 people from Wang Xiaojie's department from Wuhai.

The Black Tooth Changzhi Department of the Bitter Sea and the Li Duozuo Department of Changshui Pass are all arranged to meet Wang Xiaojie.

Even Li Xuan of Xiaohuashixia was also aimed at containing the Qinling Tomb from behind when Wang Xiaojie retreated.

"Listen to the marshal, the matter of our army's lack of food has been known to the Qinling?" Li Xuan looked at Liu Xianli cautiously.

Liu Xianli nodded and said: "A few days ago, two Tubo Xizuo were captured in Lanzhou, and from the desert west of Dunhuang, the Tubo Xizuo came from the disguise of a caravan, who knows how many secrets they have discovered in the past few months. ”

"It came through the West Tuguhun . Li Xuan nodded.

Dayan Mangjiebo in Xituguhun has no right to make his own choice at all.

If the Tibetans want to go to war, he can only go to war, and he has to be the pioneer of the army.

……

"Wang Xiaojie is about to launch a surprise attack when the Tubo offensive is at its strongest; The Black Tooth Changzhi Department will follow the strategy, and the king of Nanchang also needs to attack from Xiaohuashi Gorge, and after repelling the Tubo people, the armies will make the illusion of retreating.

When the time comes for the surprise attack on Qinling, General Xiao Siye of the Left Guard will lead the main force of 5,000 Left Guards to appear in the Sea of Bitterness, pass through the retreating departments, and attack the Tubo people fiercely.

The armies then turned around and worked together to defeat the Tibetans. Liu Xianli said this, his fists clenched.

Li Xuan's breathing suddenly stalled, which was completely different from the retreat plan he had originally expected.

Because Wang Xiaojie would immediately turn around and retreat after the raid, Li Xuan made another move to attract the attention of Non Qinling, and with the black tooth Chang Zhi's response, it was not a big problem to retreat smoothly.

After that, the mountain trail is ready to set fire here.

It is not too difficult for 10,000 soldiers to retreat from the Sea of Bitterness and Wuhai, but now, Li Xuan smelled a completely different wind.

Because Liu Zhenli was the main force of Xiao Siye's 5,000 left guards.

They wanted to start from the barracks of the army, cross the 300-mile mountain road to the bitter sea, and then rush to kill the 100-mile grass marsh, and counter-kill the Qinling.

This sounds somewhat fantastical, but Li Xuan believes that with the power of Liu Xianli's Ministry of Works, it is not difficult to do this.

The hard part is how to retreat.

The retreat of five thousand more people than originally expected.

Not even more than five thousand.

What exactly does Liu Xianli want to do?

Li Xuan arched his hand slightly, looked at Liu Xianli, and asked solemnly: "How to ensure that all the armies turn back and counterattack at the same time, how difficult it is for the army to turn around on the plateau and the lake, and also consider the pursuit of Qinling, as well as the headquarters of the last general."

It's easy to get out of Xiaohuashi Gorge, and it's not difficult to retreat outside the wide valley, but how to turn around and fight back when you turn back into the narrow valley? ”

Separated by a bitter Hainan Mountain, all the departments want to fight together, which is rare and amazing.

If you don't pay attention, you will immediately be in danger of annihilating the entire front-line army.

"First of all, between the bitter sea and the Wuhai, there is a military grain transfer station." Liu Xianli turned to look at Li Xuan and said to him seriously: "This place has been transformed into a giant arrow tower, with the arrow tower as a transit, the armies can rest and adjust, snipe the pursuit of the Tubo people, and finally fight back." ”

Li Xuan looked at Xiao Siye on one side.

The other armies were all retreating, and they didn't care about turning around and fighting back, but Xiao Siye was going to rush directly to the army of Non Qinling.

If Xiao Siye doesn't nod......

Xiao Siye smiled lightly and said, "This battle is to be tried after all. ”

"Okay." Li Xuan's face was solemn, and he finally nodded, and then looked at Liu Xianli with a cautious expression.

Liu Xianli smiled and said, "As for Xiaohua Shixia...... I heard that the prince has blocked the dam in the canyon and is preparing to flood for 3,000 miles? ”

Xiao Siye, Li Jinxing, Shi Xuan, all looked at Li Xuan with fierce eyes.

The corners of Li Xuan's mouth twitched slightly, and he arched his hand: "That's the means used by Xuan to finally delay the retreat of the Tubo army." ”

Once Dafeichuan is victorious, not many tens of thousands of Tibetan troops can go back, and when the time comes, a big flood can block the Tubo people on the road.

Especially on the Qinling, Li Xuan didn't want the Qinling to return to Tibet alive.

Liu Xianli leaned forward slightly, looked at Li Xuan and said, "In this way, Ben Shuai hopes that the prince will release the water early, and then flood the Lunqin Mausoleum." ”

"Feasible is feasible." Li Xuan's face was a little unsightly and said, "But in this way, Xiaohua Shixia can't hold it." ”

Xiaohuashi Gorge, as the final node of the offensive of the Tibetan people, once lost, the entire Xinghai will be in danger.

"The prince wants to capture the Qinling Tomb alive at the end." Liu Xianli glanced at Li Xuan deeply and said, "If our army can defeat the Lunqin Tomb on the plateau, then the next plan can also be carried out." ”

Getting rid of the dominant position of Dafeichuan and forcibly fighting a decisive battle in Wuhai was obviously Liu Xianli's original plan.

Li Xuan immediately understood what Liu Xianli wanted to do.

He is unwilling, unwilling to follow Li Xuan's plans, he wants to use his military strategy to come last time.

Or rather, a gamble.

Li Xuan seriously bowed his hand: "The last general will take the order." ”

You are the manager, you have to gamble, you will gamble, anyway, you are the first person to bear the result.
