There were no telephones and no mobile phone networks in those days.

The transmission of information depends on people, and it is really slow when the distance is long.

After receiving a request for help from Shibao City, the nomadic Mangbu branch near the West Sea soon began to mobilize troops and horses to rush to reinforcements.

When I set out, I didn't know that the stone castle city had been breached, and I just wanted to hurry, and my vigilance was not high.

When they marched dozens of miles away from Shibao City, they were suddenly hit hard by the Tang army, and they didn't react at all for a while.

The Tubo soldiers who were driving the yak herd could not even organize a decent resistance, and they were scattered by tens of thousands of Tang army iron cavalry.

Next, it is the crazy pursuit of the Datang Iron Cavalry.

Stone Castle Castle is located at the entrance of the mountain pass, and through Stone Castle Castle Castle is a vast plateau.

The height here has not exceeded its capacity, and Tang Jun can also exert good strength here.

The mountains were full of fleeing Tibetan soldiers, as well as yaks running around unattended.

Ge Shuhan, who was agitated and determined to die for the emperor, led his soldiers and horses to chase and kill wildly, and he was really the kind who chased him to vomit blood.

At the farthest point, he was even on the verge of chasing him to the west coast.

The corresponding results are naturally very good, Ge Shuhan himself reported that tens of thousands of troops were killed, and the leader of his department, Mang Buzhi, was not in the formation.

Tens of thousands of yaks and horses were captured, and after returning to Shibao City, it was another beef feast.

Ge Shuhan, who won a big victory, quickly promoted his title from Xiping Bo to Xiping Marquis, which really made the Tang army look enthusiastic.

Everyone is shouting to make contributions to Datang.

Li Yunze naturally did not chill the soldiers' desire to fight, and after a little repair, he sent troops to attack Kuozhou, which was the outpost of Shibao City.

Kuozhou was captured by the Tibetans a few years ago, and the soldiers and civilians of the city were slaughtered.

This time, Li Yunze fought back and came back, naturally wanting revenge.

Unlike Stone Castle City, Kuozhou is a city built on a plateau.

Not only are the walls low, but there are also no defensive equipment to speak of.

It's just that after besieging Kuozhou City, Li Yunze did not rush to order an attack on this city that seemed to be able to be won in a single battle, and even let go of many messengers who were asking for help.

The generals in the army were puzzled by this, why didn't the emperor allow the city to be attacked when the victory was clearly within reach?

However, Ge Shuhan saw Li Yunze's plan, which was to attract Tubo to take the initiative to come to the rescue.

The area on the plateau was huge, and the tribes scattered all over the place hurried to support when they learned that the vital Stone Fort City had been lost again.

Of course, the Tubo people are not stupid, and they will not be stupid and go directly to the main force of the Tang Dynasty, they gradually gathered together and formed an army presided over by Langzhidu, the son of Zampu.

As time passed, more and more people gathered around Langzhidu.

In the face of the envoys constantly sent by Kuozhou, Langzhi couldn't wait too long, after all, it was a war on their territory, and the pressure on all sides was too great.

After hastily gathering tens of thousands of troops, they went straight to Kuozhou.

What Li Yunze was waiting for was reinforcements.

Encirclement and reinforcement, reinforcement is the key.

The history books say that Tubo at this time had an army of hundreds of thousands, and Li Yunze did not believe this.

Although it is said that the climate of this era is mild and the production of highland barley has increased, it is impossible for the national strength of Tibet to support hundreds of thousands of troops.

You must know that with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, before Li Yunze's expansion of the army, it was only five or six hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

The only explanation is that all the people are soldiers, as long as they are herdsmen, they are soldiers.

For such an army, Li Yunze really doesn't care.

What they rely on is nothing more than the plateau terrain and the lack of oxygen on the plateau.

In terms of terrain, after breaking through the moat of Stone Castle City, the road in front of you is basically smooth.

Even though there are countless lakes and mountains, there is no stone castle city so dangerous that there is only one path, at least the soldiers and horses can spread.

And it is regarded as an insurmountable altitude sickness, which is also said to be a qi disease in this era. In Li Yunze's view, it is not so magical.

He had been to the plateau before he met the system, and he didn't even have an adaptation period, he just went up, and after going up, he walked around and didn't do anything, and it felt no different from below.

Some people are born with adaptability, but if they can't adapt to anything, they just don't go up.

In addition, it is rhodiola, saffron is equivalent to obvious drug assistance, and qi disease is not as terrible as imagined.

The soldiers and horses of Langzhidu drove a large herd of yaks to Kuozhou, but they didn't expect that when they were still a hundred miles away from Kuozhou, they collided with the main force of the Tang army very neatly.

It was only at this time that Li Yunze ordered someone to play his own dragon flag.

Knowing that the Tang Emperor actually came here, the first thought of Langzhidu was not 'the time to make meritorious contributions', but 'XX who stepped on a horse, how could the Tang Emperor be here?!' ’

Datang dominates the world and beats the invincible opponents around.

Under the name of Hehewei, the Tang Emperor came here in person, and he must be surrounded by the most powerful army in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Just his tens of thousands of herdsmen.

Langzhi wanted to run, but he also knew that the result of escaping at this time was that the whole army collapsed and was hunted down.

In desperation, they could only step forward to face the battle, hoping to give a miracle, such as a gust of wind blowing down, blowing down the banner of the Tang army and killing their emperor. Or maybe the Tang Emperor's horses stumbled and killed their emperor.

The idea is naturally very wonderful, if it really comes true, he who defeated the Tang Army and killed the Tang Emperor, will inevitably become the next Zampu.

It's a pity that this can only be thought about.

The Tang army used the infantry as the board, entangled the Tubo army formation, and used the cavalry as a hammer to strike fiercely from both wings.

In the face of the heavy attack of the Tang army, the Tubo army, which was dominated by herdsmen, was unable to resist at all, and was destroyed like spring and snow.

The Tang Dynasty in this era is so strong, as long as there is no sand sculpture emperor, as long as it is not internal turmoil, it is impossible for the Tubo people to break through Chang'an City no matter what.

In history, the Tubo people broke through Chang'an City, burned, killed, looted, and even established a puppet court and supported the puppet emperor.

Thanks to Guo Ziyi's recovery of Chang'an City, otherwise Guanzhong would not have grown grain and raised yaks instead.

After a big battle, even the leader of the Tibetan army, Langzhi, could not escape, and more than 50,000 people fell on the battlefield.

The army of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty lacked horses and elite cavalry, which made it difficult to pursue and maximize the results even if they won on the battlefield.

Datang is different, not only has elite cavalry, but also has many excellent horse farms, which can provide tall and strong horses.

These horses were so endurant that they were able to ride armor and even wear horse armor.

The cavalry of the Tibetans collided with the iron cavalry of the Tang army, and there was no possibility of victory at all.

Under the frantic pursuit of more than 10,000 Tang cavalry, the more than 50,000 people brought by Langzhidu were almost wiped out.

After the victory, the Tang army returned to Kuozhou, and the entire city was cleaned up in a battle.

After that, basically there was no Tubo army coming again, losing nearly 100,000 horses one after another, Tubo was already broken here, and now it is busy mobilizing manpower to defend the capital, where do you dare to fight again.

It doesn't matter if you can't wait for Li Yunze of the Tubo Army, if you don't come, then I'll go by myself.

He mobilized troops and horses from the rear, and almost all the elite soldiers in the west of the Longyou River were collected up the mountain.

After more than two months of hard work, the Tang army near Shibao City and Kuozhou was already rapidly approaching 100,000 people.

Gao Shi, who served as the marching Sima, found Li Yunze and said very simply, "Your Majesty, we must immediately withdraw our troops and go down the mountain, otherwise we will all starve to death on this mountain." ”

Nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the food, drink and chewing of the people and the livestock accompanying the army, the daily consumption is an astronomical amount.

Hexi and Longyou were not grain-rich areas, and military consumption was transported from the distant Chang'an City.

Now it is even more exaggerated, and it has to be transported from Longyou, Hexi to the plateau.

In Gao Shi's words, if you send ten stones of grain, you have to lose a man or an animal.

Datang's logistical support capability is simply not enough to meet the needs of so many men and horses to fight on the plateau.

"I see."

Li Yunze has been tested in battle for a long time, and he is a real hexagonal warrior, and of course he knows the limits of his logistical support capabilities.

Originally, his plan was to arrange for Geshuhan to garrison the city after the capture of Stone Castle City, and constantly harass Tubo to weaken its war potential.

However, the Tubo people gave great gifts one after another, and the loss of nearly 100,000 horses and horses had greatly weakened their war strength.

Li Yunze, who sensed the opportunity, immediately decided to wipe out Tubo in one fell swoop and completely eliminate this huge hidden danger for the Tang Dynasty.

Tubo almost appeared specifically for the purpose of pitting the Tang Dynasty.

In history, it not only broke through Chang'an City, but also encroached on the entire Western Regions, from the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty never recovered this side.

The story of the white-haired soldiers in the Western Regions can be said to have been passed down for a long time.

However, with the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo also collapsed, and there was almost no highlight moment since then.

What else can I say, I can only say that Tubo is dedicated to pit the Tang Dynasty.

Now that he has a chance, Li Yunze is determined to use his golden finger to completely remove this hidden danger.

What is the use of 100,000 troops plus civilian men and livestock with the army, and the most important thing in the industrial age is all kinds of materials.

"When I was dreaming, Emperor Taizong gave me the guidance of the dream and told me that there was a grain field for the Tubo people near the army."

Li Yunze smiled and instructed, "Gao Qing's family, you can take someone to transport the military capital back." ”

Hearing these words, Gao Shi looked at Li Yunze's eyes, as if he was looking at a sand sculpture.

Emperor Taizong dreamed or something, and he admitted it.

But Emperor Taizong knew about the grain land of the Tubo people, which was really ridiculous.

Speaking from the point of death, even if Emperor Taizong knew that the grain land of the Tubo people was nearby, then the Tang soldiers were all blind?

The vicinity of the place where the army is stationed has long been turned upside down, and no one can see such a big target as the grain field?

In the end, even if there is really Emperor Taizong's dream, even if the Tang army is all blind and can't see such a large grain land, can the Tubo people be fools? This kind of place is either to transport the grain away, or simply burn it down, and it is impossible to leave it to the Tang army.

Facing Gao Shi's eyes, Li Yunze said with a smile, "The Qing family will go and take a look, if there is, then the army will continue to send troops, if not, then how about returning to the court?" ”

Gao Shi, who felt that he was being regarded as a fool, sighed helplessly, and left the Chinese army tent after saluting.

With a team of Tang troops, he went to a valley that Li Yunze said boredly.

He felt that he was crazy to make such an agreement with the emperor, and if it was recorded by the historians, then he would become a fool ridiculed by future generations.

The valley Li Yunze said was very close to Daying, that is, what it looked like for twenty miles.

At such a distance, there are probe horses passing through almost every day.

Gao Shi, who sighed, turned the col and came to this valley, and then watched the mountains of grain bags piled up in the valley, and the whole person fell from the horse's back like a lightning strike.

After sitting on the ground and silent for a while, Gao Shi suddenly got up and knelt down and prayed to the sky.

"Emperor Taizong's things from heaven helped the Tang Dynasty to extinguish Tibet, the kid begged Emperor Taizong for forgiveness, God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
