Xiaohua Stone Gorge, drizzle and hazy.

On the top of the level, Li Xuan stood calmly.

Dressed in black armor, he pressed the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, and looked at the Dahuashi Gorge Pass in the distance.

It has now been recaptured by the Tibetans.

Wang Xiaojie occupied it for only two months before it was recaptured by the Tibetans.

It itself was built to protect against enemies from the north, and the walls to the south were lower, and the valley was wide, making it difficult to defend.

So when the Qinling led the army to attack, Wang Xiaojie only defended for a day and retreated.

Li Xuan turned his head to look in the direction of Wuhai, and a thick city appeared at the end of his sight.

Liu Xianli transferred a lot of craftsmen to Wang Xiaojie, but those craftsmen, as well as the equipment transported later, were all used to renovate Wuhai City Pass.

Where are there still manpower and material resources invested in Dahuashi Gorge.

But Xiaohuashi Gorge is different.

Li Xuan's hand pressed against the hard female wall, and a solid feeling came immediately.

Since his occupation, he has mobilized many craftsmen to renovate it.

In the canyon, above the city, and in the mountains farther away, there are the movements of Li Xuan's corporaries.

All of them were strictly repaired in accordance with Liu Xianli's method of repairing the mountain road.

This place has long been a murderous bastion of murder.

Liu Xianli said that Li Xuan was preparing to flood Shixia, which was not a lie.

Li Xuan did make such preparations, but that was the last resort here, not the hole cards that should be played now.

However, Liu Xianli didn't have much to do, if he wanted to keep Wuhai, then he had to let Li Xuan play the hole cards in his hand now.

Li Xuan never thought that on the battlefield where the army was fighting, there would be the emperor's sinister political manipulation.

Xue Rengui was used by the emperor to balance Liu Xianli, and even if according to Li Xuan's original plan, Xue Rengui's military merits were the highest, and he would even be pressed against Liu Xianli.

If he is unable to achieve due military merits, then Liu Xianli's path to the cabinet will be hindered, and he will even be replaced by Xue Rengui.

This is the emperor's plan to let Xue Rengui enter the cabinet, and Liu Xianli is still his secretary of the Ministry of Works.

No one has ever said these things openly, but in fact, anyone who knows about this matter knows the game in it.

Xue Rengui knew, Liu Xianli knew, Li Jingxuan knew, and now, even Li Xuan knew.

But Liu Xianli was unwilling.

For himself, but also for the prince.

……

A sound of rapid footsteps moved forward behind him, and Yao Yi immediately appeared behind Li Xuan solemnly: "Lord Wang." ”

"How is Wang Xiaojie?"

Li Xuan didn't turn around, still looking at the Dahuashi Gorge in the distance, as if he could see the location of the Qin Mausoleum from here.

A few days ago, Yi arrived in Wuhai and handed over the letter to the prince, and General Zhonglang was immediately furious and reprimanded the deputy general who came to Changzhou to ask for military rations.

Originally, everything ended here, but the adjutant general said two words dissatisfied, and then the lieutenant general dragged the people out, and scolded the thirty military sticks with the staff, and then the lieutenant general said that everything was arranged according to the prince. ”

Yao Yi looked at Li Xuan cautiously, and wanted to say something in his heart, but he held back.

Although Wang Xiaojie's attitude and tone were very polite, Yao Yi faintly felt that Wang Xiaojie seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Li Xuan.

But in the face of the strong Li Xuan, he could only suppress this dissatisfaction.

After all, even if Wang Xiaojie's ability is outstanding, his status in the emperor's heart is still far inferior to Li Xuan.

He could only suppress his dissatisfaction temporarily.

But only temporarily.

Proud soldiers!

"This afternoon, the general under his command will take the lead in attacking, thinking that Qinling will think of capturing him alive; Next, Wang Xiaojie will send a large army to try to snatch people back, but on Qinling should send troops to stop it, so then it is time for us to do it. ”

Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai, which is not unusual.

Li Xuan looked sideways at Yao Yi and said gently: "Changshi, when we send troops in the afternoon, everything is up to you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yao Yi gave it up seriously, he knew that Li Xuan was still angry for him.

In today's situation, as long as that famous man will attack, then next, his life will fall into Li Xuan's hands.

As long as Li Xuan sent troops a little later, then that Lang general would most likely be lost in the hands of the Tubo people.

was even really captured alive as Li Xuan said.

But Yao Yi can't bear that kind of consequence, and Li Xuan can't bear it.

"Lord Wang, after all, he is a confidant of General Zhonglang, and General Zhonglang has high hopes for him." Yao Yi cautioned.

"Don't worry, this king won't miss the opportunity." After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Yao Yi and said, "Changshi has never walked in the army, and he doesn't know much about the things inside.

The men in the army are more direct and don't know much about the world, so if you want to convince them, you have to show more strength than them...... Wang Xiaojie is the same. ”

Wang Xiaojie is unruly, can Li Xuan not know?

But the things in the army are like this, if you are not strong, then everything you should have in the army is gone.

The Confucian system will not work in the military.

"In this way, please also ask the prince to carefully choose the timing of the battle, and the military situation is the most important." Yao Yi bowed his hand deeply.

Li Xuan didn't answer Yao Yi, and said softly: "Changshi has been here for a long time, what do you think of this level?" ”

Yao Yi's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The Tubo people, there are not 20,000 people, I'm afraid they can't easily capture here, and there are also ...... on the mountain."

"yes, and the mountain dams that have been blocked for three months." Li Xuan looked at the top of the mountain, and could vaguely see a trench rushing down diagonally.

Li Xuan said softly: "In the battle of Dafeichuan, no one can guarantee that Datang will win and Tubo will be defeated. ”

Yao Yi's breathing stagnated slightly, and then listened carefully to Li Xuan's words.

"If the Tang Dynasty wins, then this king can take advantage of this place to stop him from retreating when he retreats after the defeat of the Qinling Tomb, and leave him completely behind." Li Xuan clenched his fist fiercely.

If it can be said that Qinling is killed here, then the entire Changzhou will no longer have to worry about the threat of Tubo in the future.

Glancing sideways at Yao Yi, who had a solemn face, Li Xuan sighed lightly and said: "If this battle is unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty, this king can also use this place to break down the back road of the Qinling, forcing him to slow down the pace of the forward pressing, and win a respite for the Tang Dynasty." ”

"The prince has grand intentions, Yao Yi admires." Yao Yi bowed seriously, and then said: "If after General Zhonglang retreats, Lun Qinling is not in a hurry to chase and kill, but instead concentrates a part of his forces to attack me, what should I do?" ”

"Changshi, do you think that in the eyes of the Qinling, is the king important, or the army?" Li Xuan opened his mouth and asked rhetorically.

"It's the army that matters."

"In this case, when the army retreated, how could Qinling give the army a chance to regroup in Dafeichuan, it was naturally a fierce pursuit. In this case, if one step is slow, the chances of the Tibetans winning will be greatly reduced. ”

Li Xuan snorted lightly and said, "Under the overall situation, he doesn't have much choice. ”

"If only he would have done anything to us before the army retreated." Yao Yi looked at Li Xuan seriously.

"So the king is back." Li Xuan's expression was calm, if the Qinling was attacked with all his might, then he would use all his strength to deal with the Qinling.

"If the prince is really so sure, then what difference does it make if the decisive battle is Wuhai or Dafeichuan?" Yao Yi said the biggest hesitation in his heart.

"Yes, it's Wuhai or Dafeichuan, what's the difference?" Li Xuan sighed lightly and turned to look in the direction of Wuhai.

If it is a decisive battle in Wuhai, then it is to support Liu Xianli and the crown prince.

If it is a decisive battle in Dafeichuan, then it is to support Xue Rengui and support the emperor.

That's the difference.

"Zhao Guogong is almost here." Li Xuan suddenly whispered, Yao Yi was slightly stunned, and then his face changed.

Zhao Guogong, Zhongshu Ling Li Jingxuan.

The military exploits on this battlefield are another share.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "No matter what, everything is based on me, send an order to Qiu Zhenmu and prepare to attack; Summoned Yan Tao, prepared for city defense, and ordered Li Yi to release water at any time. ”

"Whoa!" Yao Yi immediately gave up his hand, turned around and gave the order with a solemn expression.

Li Xuan looked at Zhou Qian and Su Baotong on the other side, and said, "You also go and prepare, this king may also attack at any time." ”

"Whoa!" Zhou Qian and Su Baotong immediately retreated.

Li Zhu stood silently behind Li Xuan.

Li Xuan looked at the big flower stone gorge in the distance, and said quietly: "Everyone has their own abacus, but no one has ever thought about it, is it really so easy to deal with Qinling?" ”

Li Zhu bowed slightly.

"Summon, let the Warm Spring Station start preparing."

"Whoa!"

……

Dahuashi Gorge, from which countless Tibetan cavalry protruded.

One of them killed Wuhai, one killed Xiaohuashi Gorge, and the middle one directly pounced on the direction of Kuhai.

As soon as a dozen grain trucks rushed out of the swamp, they were attacked by the Tibetans.

Since the fall of Dahuashi Gorge, it has become more and more common for the Tubo people to harass the grain road.

Li Xuan stood on the city wall, looking at the three thousand Tubo cavalry who were intent on blocking the road, looking at the surface rushing towards Xiaohuashi Gorge, but in fact, it was the three thousand Tubo cavalry who were intent on blocking the road, and his face was calm and terrifying.

Crossing the three thousand cavalry, Li Xuan's eyes looked at the Dahuashi Gorge outside, and he knew in his heart that the Qinling Tomb had already known that he was back.

Li Xuan turned around and looked in the direction of the bitter sea.

A thousand cavalry suddenly came out from behind the grain team, and the strong man with a tall horse at the head was exactly the black tooth Changzhi.

The black-toothed Chang Zhi waved the eight long lances in his hand, and his face was full of excitement to kill the Tubo cavalry, instantly bringing up countless blood mist.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, one Wang Xiaojie is enough to talk about Qinling's headache, and now he has to add a black tooth Changzhi.

Tens of thousands of cavalry came out in three groups, and the Tubo cavalry facing Hei Tooth Changzhi was less than 5,000, and his men were only 1,000 elites, which was enough to rush and kill wantonly.

At this time, there was a "bang" and a heavy drum sounded.

The next moment, a thousand cavalry followed closely and slaughtered from Wuhai.

Headed by Chen Tong, the Zuo Weilang general who went to Xinghai to urge food.

"Kill!" With endless anger, Chen Tong directly entered the Tubo army, tore open a big hole in an instant, and then killed it fiercely.

In an instant, countless Tibetan cavalry had fallen to the ground.

……

At this time, Li Xuan stood at the head of the city, looking at the Tubo cavalry who were killed and kept retreating, and his brows were slightly raised.

This is not a deception, but these Tibetan cavalry are not the real elite of Qinling at all.

Silently, the two thousand horsemen who originally fell behind had already brushed the edge of the battlefield and killed Chen Tong and Heiya Changzhi.

On Qinling made a move.

The fish took the bait.
