Although Li Jing also collected his troops and returned to the camp, Gao Buer judged according to the report that the Tubo army was coming, and it would be ten days later at the earliest, and he did not plan to let Tushi rest in ten days.

On the eighth day, Gao Buer ordered all the troops to return to the camp, rest at the pass, and wait for the Tibetan army.

In the past few days, the sudden Shi can be said to be like a year, it is really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and he has an army of 1340,000 in his hands, but he can only watch Hou Junji with more than 10,000 horses under his nose to show off his might.

During this period, he also sent two groups of men and horses out of the city to fight with Hou Junji, who knows that Hou Junji's way was again, and there were countless casualties. Not to mention resting now, it is even more difficult to win people's hearts, and Tu Shi has been busy with this for these days, but the uneasy atmosphere is still spreading in the camp.

On the ninth day, the expected Tang army did not come to disturb again, Tushi was still puzzled, and ordered someone to go to investigate, and soon probed Malay to report: "Great Khan, the Tubo army under the leadership of the Great Prime Minister Lu Dongzan, took advantage of the warm weather to climb the Kunlun Mountain, and now it is less than two days away from Qiuci. ”

Hearing this, he was overjoyed: "God of Kunlun bless, Great Elder, the whole army will drink hard for one night today, pack up their ambitions, and prepare to fight again!" ”

The Great Elder was sad in his heart, these days he has been making the soldiers drink constantly, but he has gained little, he is also thinking hard about good strategies, it seems that running is far from the only good way, but he can't mention this at this time, if he mentions it, he is afraid that the army of hundreds of thousands will collapse in an instant, and he will not be able to escape the fate of death at that time.

Qiuzi, Gao Buer gathered Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Zhang Zhongping together to make pre-war deployments.

I only listened to Gao Buer's words: "Now that the 200,000 troops of Tibet are coming, we must give full play to the advantages of high-quality and inexpensive mines in the first battle, spread a lot of mines, lay mines in a large area between Qiuzi and Sanguan, and then send tanks to patrol between the four places, if we find a small group of enemy troops stealing mines, we will destroy them, and if we find a large number of enemy troops, we will immediately withdraw, so as to frustrate the enemy's spirit and consume the enemy's army." ”

"In addition, the range of the enemy's trebuchet is much lower than the range of our artillery, so we also need artillery and mines to cooperate, so it is better not to let the enemy approach, we just need to give full play to the advantages of weapons, minimize unnecessary white-knuckle battles, and the soldiers follow us here to eat sand, go back completely, and then take back the military merit medal that we deserve."

Hou Junji agreed with Gao Buer's words, he had used mines and artillery these days, but Li Jing nodded dullly in agreement, although he felt that this was a bit of a victory, but Gao Buer's order was not something he could disobey, which was also the reason why Li Er sent Gao Buer to take charge.

Li Er knows too much about the temperament of his generals, and there is no problem in usually fighting with each other, but the vast and sparsely populated Western Regions means that he has to set up a person to command the army, so that there will inevitably be disagreements between the generals, Li Er will certainly not doubt their loyalty and the discipline of the soldiers, but this war is related to the future of the Tang Dynasty after all, Li Er does not dare to bet, he wants to be foolproof.

In this way, if he wants to stabilize the generals, in addition to himself coming, there is only Gao Fuji, the king of kings, in the Tang Dynasty.

Gao Buer didn't say much, the central idea is not to fight with white knuckles, give full play to the advantages of firearms, destroy the enemy and the city, and fight a hundred years of stability for the Tang Dynasty.

Two days later, Lu Dongzan led the Tubo army to Qiuzi, and before he could stand firm, he heard a report from the messenger: "Great Minister, Li Daozong sent by the emperor of the Tang Dynasty has led his men and horses to capture your hometown, and most of the area of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has fallen into the hands of the enemy. ”

Lu Dongzan snorted and said: "Reply to the princess, if the land is lost, it will be lost, as long as the Qiuzi Tang army is defeated, we will have more land, you let the princess rest assured, the Tang army will not be able to attack the plateau, let her be optimistic about the domestic nobles, in case of chaos, peace of mind and wait for my return from a big victory." ”

Sending off the messenger, Lu Dongzan ordered the army to camp ten miles away from Qiuzi City, and sent scouts to communicate with Tushi.

Soon the scout came to report: "Prime minister, the envoy of the Turkic coalition army is waiting outside the tent to be summoned." ”

"Biography!"

Lu Dongzan saw the messenger of Tushi and said, "Where is the king of your family now?" Why haven't we arrived at Qiuzi yet? ”

"Prime minister, with the advantage of weapons, the Tang army has blocked my king's king in Broken Leaf City, and he can't take a step east."

"Oh? So what are you here for? ”

"The king of my family asked me to tell the prime minister, we control a small road in the mountains, which can be used as a communication channel between the two armies, and the king of my family also told the minister that we should beware of the firearms of the Tang army, we have suffered a big loss before, and the king of my family suggested that the Tang army should be attacked by wheel warfare."

Lu Dongzan was very dissatisfied with Tu Shi's not sending a heavyweight to communicate, and where could he listen to Tu Shi's suggestion, he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Go back and tell your king, let him lead the army to meet me as soon as possible, this Tang army, for our two families of nearly 500,000 horses, don't keep drunk and dream of death in Broken Leaf City, enter Chang'an, there are beautiful women and wine." ”

The messenger did not dare to speak, so he had to answer again and again.
