On Recklessness and Recklessness today, he took a few steps forward with a big knife, pointed at the Qi army and shouted: "Li Mo, you come out! Ben Shuai will break your body into ten thousand pieces today!"

Xiao Yunhe rode out leisurely on a horse, pointed at the reckless with the horsewhip and said loudly: "On recklessness, as the commander of the three armies, when you are in battle, it is your own private matter that is in your heart. I thought you were a rare general, but I didn't expect you to be a fake public servant. That's it. ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" said in his reckless heart, "Who killed my brother? Stand up and fight alone with Ben Shuai, and settle personal grievances first." Then the two sides will fight each other, and today they will have to decide the winner!"

"Heh, you're a brute. Why should I listen to you?" Xiao Yunhe laughed and said, "On cheek fever died in Weishui, the general who killed him was Xue Ping, the general of the Flying Dragoon, and he is not currently in the army. Don't say no. Even if he is, I won't let him come out and fight you alone, with the courage of a husband. On recklessness, today is a confrontation between the two armies, and I advise you to let go of your personal grievances first and put state affairs first. Otherwise, your heart is not here, and you will be defeated today!"

"Nonsense!" On Recklessness, he also understood that Xiao Yunhe was right, so he suppressed his anger and said loudly, "Just rely on your tens of millions of miscellaneous soldiers. Are you the opponent of my Tibetan Iron Cavalry? Don't you have an army of 100,000 troops? Why don't you all move out and have a happy fight with Ben Shuai! There are only a few men and horses here, and Ben Shuai is worried that the soldiers in my hands have not yet sweated. I've already killed it!"

Xiao Yunhe laughed loudly. The horsewhip pointed at the reckless heat and shouted: "On the reckless heat, don't be arrogant yet! I will make it clear to you today." There was no other backup or surprise attack. You've brought 20,000 horses with you, so you might as well try your hand at fighting these thousands of horses of mine. I promise you that if you win today, I will retreat to Qizhou for a month, and return to you the body of the hot cheeks; if you are defeated, you will obediently go back to Lanzhou and shrink up, and don't show off your might in front of my battle every day, just wait for me to attack Lanzhou!"

On the reckless hot eyes glared, gritted his teeth and shouted: "As you say!"

Xiao Yunhe picked up his horse and returned, the shield of the Chinese army flashed out of the way, and Xiao Yunhe quickly disappeared into the Qi army formation and quickly returned to the cloud ladder platform.

On the reckless horse back to the camp, there are many doubts in his heart. His lieutenants were also puzzled, and muttered in his ear: "Commander, what does Li Mo want to do? He doesn't need to put 100,000 troops, and only uses a few thousand pawns to fight against my 20,000 iron cavalry, isn't it an egg hitting a stone?"

On Recklessness's expression was grim, his eyes stared at the military formation of the Qi army, he was silent for a long time, and said, "Li Mo, this is the formation of the platoon. ”

"Array?" The Tibetan generals naturally didn't understand this kind of thing.

"Yes, Array. "On Mangre said, "Ben Shuai is familiar with the Han soldiers' books, and has seen many times about the array. But all the famous generals in the history of the Han people have the experience of using the battle. The formation is specially used for field battles with the enemy's regular soldiers. A few people and horses can operate in a special direction in a special direction, and they can exert unexpected effects and multiply their combat effectiveness. However, although Ben Shuai knew about this, he didn't know anything about the formation in front of him. The military culture of the Han people is too deep to be studied. Even the Han people themselves may not know where all the formations come from. This array in front of you...... It gives me a very ominous feeling. The standing arrangement of thousands of people and horses in that area is very strange and special, and there seem to be thousands of troops and horses in ambush in the array, and there are vaguely endless changes. Dangerous!"

"Is it so magical?" said an adjutant general in bewilderment, "no matter how it changes, how many thousand people are still thousands, can it become tens of thousands?"

"That's how it is. "As long as it is properly arranged, you can maximize everyone's combat effectiveness." The enemy rushed in, as if they were fighting many, if not every, of the array at the same time. That's the secret of the array. So, don't underestimate this array!"

"Commander, there's no need to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige, right?" the adjutant general said, "Li Mo only put these thousands of men and horses to meet the enemy, obviously deliberately humiliating our army. Maybe it's just a bluff. Ben was willing to go forward to fight the enemy first and find out his truth. If this formation is really powerful, the big marshal can also see it clearly from a distance and then think of countermeasures. ”

On Reckless thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay." I ordered you to take five thousand iron horsemen and charge forward first. Let's find out what's real. Remember, don't be brutal, if something goes wrong, retreat immediately. Ben Shuai will send someone to rescue you. ”

"Yes!" the lieutenant replied loudly, slapped his horse and went to count the men.

At this time, the rumbling war drums had already sounded in the Qi army's formation, and the huge horns of the earth were whining, and the signal of the challenge was launched.

On recklessness, his face sank. Raise your hand: "Attack!"

Five thousand iron horsemen roared loudly. The first round of attacks began.

Xiao Yunhe and Li Guangjin stood on the gimbal and could see clearly from a distance, and they couldn't help laughing.

Li Guangjin said: "Your Majesty, that reckless person is really a cautious person. He did not go into battle in person, but only sent thousands of lieutenant generals to test it. What now?"

Xiao Yunhe said: "Since you are here, of course you have to entertain well." I want to let this group of people and horses go into the sea like mud cows, and there will be no return. On recklessness, if you are timid, you are afraid of death. If you are worried about the safety of these thousands of soldiers and horses, you might as well send someone in to rescue them. ”

Li Guangjin laughed: "Haha, this is wonderful! Please give your majesty an order quickly!"

At this time, the Tubo Iron Rider took out his best running shot. All the way to the impact and all the way to the arrow. A torrential rain of arrows rushed down into the sky, roaring towards the Qi army's array. The soldiers of the Qi army had already prepared, and the people in the formation each had a shield in their hands. At this time, they raised their shields to protect their bodies and minimize the losses. Originally, the orientation of these thousands of soldiers and horses was very unique, and they did not stand as densely as the two armies charged against each other in ordinary times, and the cavalry and archery function of the Tubo people could not be maximized, which was greatly reduced. At the same time, Xiao Yunhe also waved the command flag, and the soldiers in the formation began to run back and forth, and the formation changed greatly.

On recklessness, his eyes widened from afar. Puzzled, he said, "What kind of array is this? Why have you never seen it?"

The vanguard cavalry of the Tibetans had already rushed into the formation. The Nine Palace Tianluo Formation formed by the soldiers of the Qi Army was like a giant beast with its mouth open. The first people quickly moved to the sides. He did not fight the enemy, but let them into battle.

On recklessness, his heart tightened. There was a vague sense of foreboding.

The deputy general of Tubo, who rushed into the formation, raised his knife and slashed indiscriminately, but the soldiers of the Qi army only cared about circling back and forth left and right, and no one stopped to fight him. Moreover, those Qi soldiers who were running non-stop occasionally stabbed a shot, and they were unpredictable, which made him scratch his head.

Xiao Yunhe smiled on the cloud platform and said: "This leading Tubo man is a complete idiot, rushing in from the door of death, pointing directly at the three cores of life and death. He will die the worst death! Because it is the place where the battle is at its heaviest, and it is the most ferocious place where three generals are seated. Now even the Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him. With that, Xiao Yunhe waved the command flag in his hand, and the Qi soldiers in the formation ran faster and the pace became more strange. Rushing into the formation, the Tubo people looked nervously left and right, all of them were confused. They have been fighting for so long, where have they ever seen such a fighting army? Is this a war or a cat catch?!

The banner moved again, and the soldiers of the Qi army in the formation launched an attack! The swords and spears stabbed from all directions caught the Tubo people off guard. The cavalry wanted to clash, but they could only run into a solid fortress of thick shields, and behind the shields was a neat row of spears. The men and horses pierced through and died a terrible death. The brain of the deputy general of Tubo was suddenly confused, and his eyes were about to fall out when he looked at the Qi army running around. At this moment, a circle formed by the Qi army in the middle suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry roared and killed. Hao Pai, the general of the Qi army, rushed over with a horizontal knife and shouted: "Where is the enemy general, come and die!"

At the same time, the surrounding Qi soldiers roared in unison, and the spears in their hands were all horizontally in front of them, forming a huge circle, and they all went to the center to kill.

The disk of life and death is rapidly contracted, and the lives of the creatures left in the middle of the land hang by a thread!

That group of cavalry is where the inducements and killing tactics of life and death lie. Hao rushed with several horsemen around him, and the Tibetans were frightened. The spears around were like forests stabbing from the bottom plate, the horses screamed miserably, many of them were pierced, and the Tubo people screamed and fell off their horses. Then, the disk of life and death opened again, and Hao Yibiao's cavalry seemed to fall from the sky and quickly killed the people of Tubo. There was a burst of sword light and sword shadow, and the Tubo people who fell off the horse screamed miserably, and they did not know what to do.

Li Guangjin, who was standing on the cloud platform, laughed and said, "Your Majesty, this Nine Palaces Tianluo Array is really incomparably mysterious! When the enemy army enters the formation, it is like losing its way and not scratching its head at all. This confusion made it impossible to lose his life in an instant! The life-and-death plate of the former army presided over by General Hao easily slaughtered nearly 1,000 men and horses in a single round of killing. This group of Tibetan pathfinders is afraid that their bones will be gone. ”

Xiao Yunhe said with a smile: "The barbarians are brave, and the Han people are resourceful. This argument has also learned a little bit of the Han people's military skills. However, after all, he was only a student, and even if he succeeded for a while, how could he completely defeat the master? I gave him the head of the cheek fever yesterday, and today I only sent out a few thousand men to provoke him to come out and fight me. Attack the shortcomings of the other with my strengths, and wilt not be able to win?"

"Hehe, Your Majesty is clever!" Li Guangjin laughed.

In the distance, he stretched his neck to watch, but he only saw a burst of smoke and dust in the battle array, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky. There was a scream from time to time, but I couldn't really see what was going on. The 5,000 men and horses he sent out seemed to have disappeared into a fog, and they could no longer see the human figure clearly.

On Recklessness exclaimed in his heart: It's so weird, could it be that the other party has ghosts and gods to help?!

The Nine Palaces Tianluo Array was still changing, and the murderous aura in the array was full of smoke and dust, and it was impossible to see clearly if it was a little far away. Xiao Yunhe stood condescendingly on the gimbal, taking in everything, and laughed.

Li Guangjin also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, these 5,000 men and horses have been devoured alive by our army. Wonderful, wonderful!"

"It's just a fluke. Xiao Yunhe said with a smile, "On recklessness, I didn't notice that I was led by the nose for a while, and I used my heart to take revenge." For the general, he is most afraid of personal anger, otherwise it is easy to do bad things. If it weren't for the fact that he had died in battle with the fever of the cheeks, it is estimated that the fever would not have been so easy to calculate. ”

"Remember Your Majesty's teachings. Li Guangjin said.

Xiao Yunhe watched the change of formation seriously, and waved the order flag again soon after. The second life and death disc of the core of the formation is activated. Li Guangyan, the general sitting in the center, led a group of cavalry to rush out. The Tubo people who were trapped in the last formation were divided into several shares, and then trapped in small formations and were killed in turn. The Tibetan people are all miserable, and they have never fought such a battle. Ever since they entered the formation, they seemed to have lost their way and didn't know where to charge. There are Qi troops on all sides, and cold guns and hidden arrows are invincible. If you want to break through to one side, you will be hit by iron shields, hard walls and rows of spears. The deputy general of Tubo who led the army to rush in had already been killed, and the corpse capital was trampled by the horse's hooves. The Tibetan crowd of dragons ran around in the formation without a leader, but this only hastened their deaths. There are more than 200 formation changes in the Nine Palaces Tianluo Array, and any formation can be turned into a "death door" in a secret and vicious place at any time.

In the distance, the eyes of the others widened, staring at the battle array, trying to find the traces of their own people. But their eyes were sour, and they only looked at the Qi soldiers running back and forth, the countless flying Qi army flags, and the smoke and dust rising into the sky.

Several lieutenant generals couldn't hold their breath, and ran to the front of Lun Mangrare together and said, "Commander, what's going on? Our army's 5,000 men and horses rushed into the formation, like mud cows entering the sea and no one can be seen?!"

On recklessness, his face was iron-clad and silent. He didn't want to tell his men. He didn't know what was going on.

The shouts of killing in the battle shook the sky, and the doubts in the hearts of the Tibetan people became bigger and bigger, and they gradually felt a trace of terror. The scene in front of me is really weird.

And a long time passed. An adjutant general couldn't help it, and stepped forward to say to Reckless: "Big handsome." There's no way for us to stare at it like this? Could it be that this Qi army can really invite ghosts and gods to help?"

"Nonsense!" said loudly on Recklessness, "If you dare to talk nonsense to disturb the hearts of our army, beware of military law!"

"Ah...... Yes!" The lieutenant was startled and did not dare to say anything more.

He turned his head to look at him, and said with determination: "You, bring another 5,000 iron horsemen to meet the front army." Remember, don't go in from the middle. Piercing diagonally from the weak points of the left and right flanks. If you look for the soldiers of our army, you will bring people out first without asking for mercy, and you are not allowed to fight and kill. Listen to my horn and return to the army immediately, without a moment's hesitation!"

"Yes!" the lieutenant replied loudly, and rushed over again.

Xiao Yunhe stood on the high cloud platform and saw that a team of soldiers and horses rushed out of the Tubo array. The number of people is in the thousands. This time, the enemy changed his tactics and split into two groups from the center and flanked them from the east and west directions.

Xiao Yunhe and Li Guangjin laughed at the same time: "I'm here to die again!"

Xiao Yunhe said: "It seems that I can't sit still and want to send someone in to save people." He learned to be obedient and no longer assaulted from the front. I thought that I could contain our army from the side. You must not know that this Nine Palace Tianluo Array is connected from end to end, endlessly, without a head or tail, without strength or weakness, and it is the same wherever it comes in. ”

"Your Majesty, the last general has also seen some clues. Li Guangjin said, "If the last general is about recklessness, maybe he will also rush to kill from the left and right flanks." Because just now in the process of changing the position of our army, only the soldiers and horses on the left and right flanks are weaker, and the murderous spirit is also insufficient. ”

"That's because our army has already encircled Tubo in the middle and killed it. Xiao Yunhe said, "It's like a wolf has killed its prey." Eating delicious food on your stomach. From a distance, it certainly doesn't look as threatening as it once was. The beauty of this formation is that it is extremely confusing, and it is easy to hit. "I see. Li Guangjin suddenly realized. Then he pointed to the formation and said. "Your Majesty, the Tibetan rush has come in. Hey...... The left and right flanks of our army flashed through the openings again. Just let Tubo in!"

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "Of course. Although the enemy has outnumbered our army, it still has the ability to devour them in the array. Just like a snake's head, it can swallow food larger than its head, and then slowly digest it in its stomach until there is no residue left. Looking at it, Guangjin, this group of Tubo people has come and gone. ”

After that, Xiao Yunhe shook the two flags in his hand together, the Nine Palace Tianluo Array was running at full speed, and the three life and death disks started together!

The generals Li Guangyan, Xue Ping, and Hao rushed to kill together. It is like the three steel leaves of a mixer, tearing the Tibetan soldiers and horses in their bellies to pieces. As soon as the Tibetans entered, they were divided, trapped in the array, and there was no way out on the left and right. The Qi army that circled and rushed to kill was about to dazzle their eyes. The cavalry wanted to rush up, but they were met with iron shields and neat spears. The Tibetan people are miserable, just like fighting with others but having no place to use their strength, and they hit the cotton with a fist, which has no effect.

On the reckless forehead, I couldn't help but have cold sweat overflowing. He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva and wiped his forehead with a wave of his sleeve. At the same time, the soldiers in the Tibetan array also began to discuss, and a sense of fear rose to everyone's hearts. They had been fighting for so long, and they had never encountered such a thing: 10,000 horses fighting thousands of horses, rushing in and missing a man!

If it weren't for the ghosts and gods, how could such a thing happen?!

An adjutant general ran to Lun Mangre's side, and said in a trembling voice: "Great, handsome, quickly Mingjin collects the troops, and let the brothers come back! This battle is too weird! The Qi army must have invited all the ghosts and gods to help!"

"Also...... Good. He nodded awkwardly and said, "Mingjin!"

"Woo-woo!" a long yak horn sounded in the Tibetan array, and the sound shook far away.

But after a long time, there was still not a single Tibetan cavalry rushing out of the battle array!

On Recklessness, I was completely stunned at this moment! This battle array is like a monster's giant mouth. Devoured 10,000 horses alive?!

"Zai Mingjin!" ordered loudly in reckless anger.

The horn sounded again, only to see the Qi soldiers running more and more happily, shouting and killing louder and louder, but not a single Tibetan soldier rushed out to kill!

"Hit the evil!" exclaimed Reckless. "Retreat, retreat!"

The Tubo people couldn't sit still for a long time, and immediately slapped their horses and ran, for fear of being caught by the ghosts and gods behind them and losing their lives.

Xiao Yunhe and Li Guangjin on the gimbal laughed. Li Guangjin bowed his hand and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, today is finally a complete victory, and you have avenged the revenge of the day!"

"Well, not bad, a small victory. Xiao Yunhe smiled, "Light in." You go down and give orders. Beat the war drums and move the soldiers and horses out of the city, I will use the regular soldiers to take Lanzhou!"

"Order!" Li Guangjin immediately got off the cloud platform and went to give the order. Not long after, dozens of fast horses rushed towards the city of Yanxian County, leaving a long trail of smoke and dust.

Xiao Yunhe stood on the cloud platform and watched for a long time, shook the command flag in his hand, and issued a final killing order. All the soldiers of the Qi army were already full of morale and rejoicing. Rising up with great might, he launched a final attack on the caged beast-like Tubo. Rounds of guns came down, and the iron horsemen of Tubo overturned. Li Guangyan, Xue Ping and Hao were at the door of life and death, and they slashed people like chopping vegetables, beating the Tubo people into a daze and crying for their fathers and mothers.

Xiao Yunhe chuckled: "It's a pity that I overlooked the recklessness. Overkill this Nine Palace Tianluo Array. Although this guy is proficient in the art of war, he knows so much about formation. It seems that he has really found his life. ”

Not long after, Xiao Yunhe glanced at the battle formation, and the overall situation was basically decided, and it was only about to be finished in the end. So he waved the order flag and asked Xue Ping, the general of the harem life and death plate, to withdraw. Then I also got off the gimbal. Xue Ping had already rushed over to meet the driver and bowed to the front. At this time, the four gates of the city were opened, and countless soldiers and horses rushed out, gathering towards this side.

"Get up, Xue Ping. Xiao Yunhe walked up to him with a smile. said, "Well done, didn't disappoint me!"

Xue Ping stood up. With a spring breeze on his face, he said, "Your Majesty." Today's battle was too enjoyable. Our army effortlessly destroyed more enemies than themselves. This Nine Palace Tianluo Array is really magical. ”

Xiao Yunhe smiled: "I asked you to personally enter the battle to preside over the life and death plate of the harem." Do you know the mystery of this formation?"

Xue Ping pondered for a moment and said: "The last general's qualifications are reckless, but he has only comprehended one or two, and he has more practical experience than when he watched the formation from a distance that day. The last general thought that the most important thing about this Nine Palace Heavenly Luo Array was the three life and death array eyes. With the three life and death disks as the core, more than 200 kinds of formation changes can be evolved. ”

Xiao Yunhe said, "So, if I want you to command the Nine Palaces Heavenly Luo Array, can you do it?"

"This ......," Xue Ping smiled awkwardly, "I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." ”

Xiao Yunhe laughed and said, "The formation has been passed on to you, and you have actually comprehended it." Whatever he can do in the future, you can use it with all your heart. ”

Xue Ping's heart sank slightly, and he bowed his hand and said: "The last general will not dare to slack off, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

"Okay. Don't talk about that. Xiao Yunhe said, "Our army has won a big victory in this battle, so we should take advantage of the victory to pursue." On the reckless fever inexplicably failed for a while, and the mind must have been greatly restless. Our army has an opportunity to take advantage of it. Moreover, he is now weak, and it is also a good time. Xue Ping, I let you open the way!"

"The last will be ordered!" Xue Ping promised loudly.

Xiao Yunhe said with a smile: "Don't be arrogant and rash, don't get carried away." Don't forget, if you are bent on seeking revenge on you, you have to be careful. It is said that the martial arts of reckless and hot land are much better than the hot cheeks!"

"The Admiral remembered. Xue Ping solemnly promised. Xiao Yunhe waved his hand, and he rode back to the Flying Dragoons.

Xiao Yunhe looked at Xue Pingdi's figure from a distance, and thought in his heart: Jade can't be cut without a weapon. This expedition to the west really made this Xue Ping soar into a character. This kid's personality, qualifications, and talents are all good, and it is easy to become a talent with these strong trainings. Sooner or later, the four generalissimos will have to leave me. When the time comes, I will not be without the generals of the lineage.

The battle in the Nine Palaces Tianluo Array was almost over. In the end, some of the remaining Tibetans were really unable to bear this inexplicable fear and oppression and surrendered. Xiao Yunhe asked Hao to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield and collecting prisoners, and then immediately reorganized the army, counted 30,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, and assembled them into an army.

60,000 horses and horses were lined up and began to kill and go to Lanzhou. Xiao Yunhe still came in command in person, and Xue Ping's vanguard Li Guangyan was postponed and led the Chinese army by himself. Li Guangjin and Hao sat in the county to respond from behind. The 60,000 horses did not give the slightest respite from the recklessness, and rushed straight to Lanzhou.

Lanzhou and Weizhou are separated by a hundred miles. At first, the army was also stationed outside, so he was able to provoke in front of the county town every day. After losing a game today, the number of people was reduced by half, and he didn't have the courage to be stationed in the middle of the road anymore, and they all moved to Lanzhou. Xiao Yunhe was unobstructed along the way, and went straight to the front of Lanzhou City.

At this time, it was getting late, and Xiao Yunhe personally brought the army to the front of Lanzhou City.

"Your Majesty, are you attacking the city now?" asked Li Guangyan.

"There's no hurry. Our army has worked hard from afar, and there is no need to rush to attack the city. Xiao Yunhe said, "As long as I garrison the army here, the Tubo people will not be able to sleep well all night." Order, encamp, the army rested. After resting, it will be easier to clean up the Tubo people who have been nervous all night tomorrow. ”

The Tubo generals in Lanzhou were shocked when they saw the extremely large number of Qi troops, and hurriedly reported the news to the reckless heat.

As soon as he returned to the city, a pawn rushed to his room and shouted: "Commander, tens of thousands of horses and horses of the Qi army are coming to attack the city!"

"What, so fast?!" Lun Reckless stood up suddenly, picked up his fist and slammed it on the table, and scolded angrily: "Li Mo, you traitor who was killed by a thousand knives!"

When all the generals in the city learned of his disappearance, they ran to the hot room, but they heard him scolding in the room. So he had to stand outside and wait, not daring to come forward to provoke him.

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the courtyard: "The gold medal envoy has arrived!"

On Recklessness and the generals were all shocked: Zampu has come to order!

Early the next morning, the trumpets sounded very early in the barracks of the Qi army, and the war drums were beaten. The 60,000-strong army quickly assembled and pointed directly at the city of Lanzhou.

Xiao Yunhe pondered the siege strategy for most of the night, and always thought that there was no other way to find it at the moment except to use regular troops to attack the city. The city of Lanzhou is strong and covers a wide area, and it is reckless and resourceful, and the way of using troops is strange - book ∧ net. It is really not an easy thing to take Lanzhou by besieging the city and cutting off food or conspiring to take Lanzhou. For the sake of today's plan, I have to compete with the reckless and bloody battle.

The soldiers and horses were reorganized, and the scouts sent out finally returned. The news that came in surprised Xiao Yunhe: the banner at the head of Lanzhou City was still closed at the city gate, but not a single guard saw it. A few bold scouts even went to the city gate and cursed for a while, but not half of them came out to answer, and there was a dead silence inside.

Xiao Yunhe was stunned and thought: What kind of trick is this recklessness?

The generals Xue Ping and Li Guangyan were also puzzled, and came up together to ask the emperor what to do now.

Xiao Yunhe thought for a while and said, "Li Guangyan, you lead three thousand swordsmen to the edge of the city first." If you don't find anything out of the ordinary, try to go up to the city with ropes and ladders. ”

"Order!" Li Guangyan received the order and prepared to leave. Xiao Yunhe was still a little worried, and called behind him: "Be careful and don't be reckless. Maybe recklessness has set up suspicions. ”

"The last general obeys the order!" Li Guangyan left, taking only 3,000 men with him. Xiao Yunhe thought about it for a while, but he was still not at ease, and asked Xue Ping to lead the flying dragon to ride behind him to respond.

The two groups of men and horses went for less than an hour, and the news came quickly: the general Li Guangyan had occupied the head of the city of Lanzhou, and had successfully captured the city and opened the gate without encountering a single soldier; It's just that all the people of Lanzhou are hiding at home, and no one dares to go out. The whole city was like a dead city.

Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but be even more surprised, thought about it for a while, and sent a team of cavalry to search for the enemy's traces around the city of Lanzhou, and then personally led the army towards Lanzhou.

Halfway through, Xiao Yunhe met Xue Ping and the Flying Dragon Rider.

"Xue Ping. What's going on in Lanzhou?" asked Xiao Yunhe.

"Back to Your Majesty!" Xue Ping replied, "The last general also feels very strange, but there is indeed no trace of a Tubo person in Lanzhou City. The last general thoroughly searched the city and found that the military camp in Tibet had been emptied. There was not a drop of money or food left in the treasury. It seems that the Tibetans did withdraw overnight. And it was very clean. ”

"Withdrawn?" Xiao Yunhe's brows twisted into a big pimple.

Xue Ping said: "After consulting with General Li Guangyan, it was decided that the last general would come to welcome His Majesty into the city. Your Majesty does not need to wonder, the people of Tibet have indeed withdrawn. Even the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and documents in the political hall have been cleaned. There is still fresh horse manure in the stables that has not been cleaned, which shows that the time for the Tibetan people to withdraw was not long. ”

"How can there be such a thing?" Xiao Yunhe said suspiciously, "Let's go, enter the city!"

For the sake of insurance, Xue Ping and the Flying Dragon Rider have been carefully protecting the emperor into the city. The rest of the army was stationed outside the four gates of Lanzhou as usual. Xue Ping and Li Guangyan once again thoroughly inspected the city. Even the houses were not spared. Still no movement of the Tibetans has been found. The people in the city were in panic all day, and later found out that it was the Qi army that entered the city, and they were all surprised, so they came out of their homes to welcome the Great Qi Wangshi to recover Lanzhou.

Xiao Yunhe sent someone to ask the people for questioning, and it turned out that last night, all the people and horses in Tubo had indeed withdrawn. However, before leaving, the Tibetans sternly warned the people in the city that no one was allowed to leave their homes to wander around. Lanzhou has been the place of fall over the years. The people in the city were afraid of the Tibetans, so they all hid in their homes and did not dare to come out. So much so that the Qi army captured the city, and few knew that it had disappeared.

Xiao Yunhe was a little puzzled: This is strange! On recklessness and recklessness on the order of Trisong Dezan to defend Lanzhou to block our army of the western expedition, why did he withdraw overnight for no reason? It's not the kind of person who loses for a while and gets discouraged and has no intention of falling in love with the earth!

The generals were also puzzled and gathered around to discuss.

At this moment, a junior colonel came quickly, bowed down to Xiao Yunhe and said, "Your Majesty, the last general and others were ordered to search the military camp and political hall in Tubo, and found such a letter. ”

Xiao Yunhe took it and saw that it was a letter sealed with wax, with four words written on it. All the generals were a little angry, because the person who wrote the letter actually called the emperor by his name!

Xiao Yunhe sneered, "I probably know what this letter says. Then he unfolded the letter and read it, and said, "Sure enough." ”

Xue Ping asked, "Your Majesty." Is this letter left by Recklessness?"

"It's not. Xiao Yunhe smiled, handed the letter to Xue Ping and pointed to the generals, "Let's take a look." It's okay. ”

Xue Ping picked up the letter and read it. Surprised: "This letter was written by Trisong Dezan!"

All the generals also took a look, and they were all surprised.

Xiao Yunhe paced slowly. Said leisurely: "It seems that I have always neglected one thing. Or rather, a person. ”

"Your Majesty means Trisong Dezan?" replied Xue Ping.

"Yes. That's him. Xiao Yunhe said, "It turns out that this guy has never left Helong, and he may even have been in Lanzhou." However, now it is certain that he has arrived in Dafeichuan. You have also seen it in the letter, and he was ashamed to say that Lanzhou gave me troops to garrison, and then raised enough spirit to fight him in Dafeichuan. ”

Li Guangyan laughed and said: "This Chi Song Dezan is really shameless! This Lanzhou is obviously unable to hold on, and what do you say to give it up." As long as the Lanzhou West Crossing Taoshui is broken, the sword edge of our army can be directed at Dafeichuan. Behind that is a flat area, and the weak city cannot stop our army at all. ”

"That's right. Xiao Yunhe said, "This is also the reason why, at first, Chisong Dezan wanted to talk about recklessness and stubbornness to defend Lanzhou, but now he has retreated." ”

Li Guangyan was puzzled: "At the beginning, I stubbornly defended it, but now I easily give it up...... Your Majesty, the last general really can't understand why. ”

"It's simple. Xiao Yunhe smiled slightly and said, "Trisong Dezan's life is not easy either. He also has to fight on two fronts. Whether it is to mobilize troops and horses or raise food and grass, he needs a lot of time, manpower and material resources. If he hadn't been ready, we'd have killed Dafeichuan. Therefore, he ordered the general to defend Lanzhou and hold back my army so that he could gain sufficient time to prepare. Moreover, Lanzhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also a difficult problem for our army to defend according to danger. But. Ever since the defeat and death of the capital of the country, Tri Song Detsen's confidence has been shaken. Because he felt that the reckless heat could no longer stop the army of the land. If he sends troops to help him again, the troops he has gathered in Dafei Sichuan will be weakened, and the supply will also take a lot of time, which is very uneconomical. Even if he blocked me in Lanzhou, if Li Huaiguang broke through on the Beiting side, he would be attacked on his back. It's very passive. In addition, he may still have the heart to preserve his strength and don't want to sacrifice the general Reckless. Therefore. Only then did he order the reckless heat to withdraw overnight. In this way, he will be able to concentrate his forces on the Dafei River to fight a decisive battle with our army. Such an explanation is believed to be the most reasonable. ”

The generals suddenly realized and nodded yes.

Xue Ping pondered for a moment and said, "But Your Majesty...... How did Trisong Dezan know that he couldn't hold Lanzhou and Li Huaiguang had broken through the North Court?"

Xiao Yunhe said: "That's because he attaches enough importance to us and doesn't dare to take it lightly." Of course, he wouldn't give up on Beiting so easily. But he wouldn't be naïve enough to think that Beiting would be able to hold it. After fighting me so many times, he has also become unusually cautious, and he has planned for the worst. That is, how he will fail on two fronts. There is still the capital of Dafeichuan. When the time comes, he will personally lead the army, and he will have a life-and-death decisive battle with our army!"

"Your Majesty, then what are you waiting for!Send troops, advance to Dafeichuan and fight to the death with Trisong Dezan!" the generals shouted, "As long as this battle is won, Longyou Hexi will all come back, and it can inflict heavy damage on the Tubo people and completely beat them to the ground." Not only can Anxi return to the territory of Daqi, but it is also possible to set foot on the plateau!"

Xiao Yunhe waved his hand and said, "Don't be too naïve. Tri Song Dezan dared to make it clear that he would fight me in Dachuanfei. It must have been well prepared. Our army has been attacking him for a long time, but it is easy to keep it up, and our army needs a lot of transportation and supplies, but it already has mountains of grain and grass. The two sides are facing the north, and Trisong Dezan, who is fighting at his own doorstep, has a clear advantage. Moreover, he is trying to concentrate all his forces on a decisive battle with me. At that time, there will definitely be no shortage of people. 200,000, 300,000? In short, yes, for sure. Our army wanted to defeat him very easily, but it was impossible. Therefore. We must be prepared to fight a tough and vicious battle for a long time. The time to resolve all grievances between Daqi and Tibet is believed to be not far off. ”

After hearing this, the generals were all excited, and they were all eager to try.

Xiao Yunhe ordered: "The army will be prepared in Lanzhou for three days, let Li Guangjin lead the army to follow, and leave 3,000 men and horses to garrison Weizhou to take care of the wounded." In addition, the fast horse flew to the national capital and urged for grain and grass. If the grain and grass do not come, our army will not be able to advance another half a step in a day!"

"Order!" the generals took the promise together, and they went to their own jobs.

After everyone left, Xiao Yunhe sat down alone, pulled out his sword to wipe it, and said to himself: "Chisong Dezan, I have been sharpening this sword for you for some days." On that day, I will personally cut off your head to pay tribute to the thousands of soldiers and people who have been poisoned by you! You and I have fought so many times, and it can be said that we are long-cherished enemies for a lifetime. Now, it's finally time to get to the end!
