In the place west of Didao County, there is no post station in Datang, and Wujie Post is the westernmost post station in Longyou area. After passing through Didao County, the remains of the abandoned barracks can be seen everywhere.

Some of them belonged to the Tang army, some were from the Tibetan people, and there were those forts of different sizes that could be seen after walking a few miles. On the border of Longyou, traces of war can be seen everywhere, after all, the truce between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has only been a matter of the past few years, and it has been fought intermittently for decades before.

Out of the vigilance of Diao Min's harmful thinking, Fang Chongyong did not stupidly run directly to Shanzhou City, but stopped at the nearest county seat of Longzhi County east of Shanzhou. Longji County got its name because of its proximity to the Longji Valley and was built on a high platform on a hill.

The city was of almost no economic value, but militarily it was an excellent "observation post" to monitor the entry and exit of people in the valley.

I have to say that the strength of Datang allows it to use such a city with no economic value to achieve its own strategic goals and afford losses.

Why didn't Fang Chongyong go directly to Shanzhou City to "report", but chose to stop in Longzhi County?

Because he is not only the supervisor of the imperial history, but also the military envoy of Longyou, he has the absolute power to move freely in the Longyou region, and he does not need to report to anyone, including Du Hope, the envoy of Longyoujiedu.

In this kind of major issue of right and wrong, we must not get carried away because of personal feelings, so as to ignore the proper etiquette and reserve.

In other words, Fang Chongyong was not a person subordinate to the commander of the Longyou Jiedu Envoy, but on behalf of the imperial court, he was on business here, and even had the hidden task of monitoring the military affairs in the Longyou region. He only obeys the orders of the imperial court, specifically, the prime minister's words don't need to be listened to, he only needs to obey the orders of Brother Ji alone!

At least for now, Fang Chongyong and Longyou Jie Du hope belong to two parallel lines. Theoretically, each other must not interfere in each other's administrative and military affairs.

This is also the original intention of Brother Ji to send Fang Chongyong to Longyou: to recruit troops, and by the way, see what the situation is on the side of the Longyou army.

However, theoretical things are only a flash in the pan after all.

The reason why Fang Chongyong still wants to go to Shanzhou City is only because he wants to select elite players among the various armies in Longyou, so it is impossible not to deal with the envoys of Longyou, and even to a large extent, he needs to rely on Du Hope's cooperation.

However, this does not mean that Fang Chongyong will keep his voice down, go directly to Shanzhou City, and go to Du Hope like a subordinate to say goodbye.

The county seat of Longzhi County is a "county" in the Datang division, but it is an authentic military camp and a very standardized place to garrison soldiers. There are 500 border troops stationed here, which are a battalion subordinate to the Lintao army sequence.

This small city located on a hill is no more than a thousand meters long and only a hundred meters wide! Except for the barracks, granaries, warehouses, school yards and other places, there will not be much space for the families of the soldiers.

After Fang Chongyong and his party entered the county seat of Longzhi County, the camp owner immediately gave up his residence and sent someone to Shanzhou City to inform the Longyou Jiedu Mansion to send someone to deal with Fang Chongyong for government affairs.

When it got dark, after hastily eating the ordinary meal of the border army, Fang Chongyong came to the simple bedroom built of stone. He lit a torch in the house and examined a sketched map on a dusty and neglected stone table.

In the dim light of the fire, his thoughts seemed to fly to the valley called "Kang Wolf Mountain", which he had visited a few days ago, not far north of the long castle in the north of Didao County.

Fang Chongyong's mind came up with the endless Tubo army, mixed in foot and horse, many wearing heavy armor. There are roads in the north and south, and there are canyons in the east and west, and there is nowhere to hide.

This Tubo army, which was trapped in the valley of Kang Wolf Mountain, could have escaped. They had just been defeated by a Tang army that had been slaughtered in the long castle to the south, and the way to the south was blocked. The general, named Wang Haibin, killed many of them.

Although the Tang army was brave, its strength was not worth mentioning, less than one-tenth of the Tubo army in the valley of Kang Wolf Mountain.

At this time, it was probably Wang Haibin's arrogance that angered the opponent. The Tibetans did not choose to flee, but chose to turn around and concentrate their forces to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army led by Wang Haibin.

In the end, after consuming a large number of troops and morale, and annihilating the Tang army with great effort, the Tubo people were full of horror to find that the valley running north and south, and the exits on both sides were tightly blocked by the main force of the Tang army that "rushed" later.

And then there was the one-sided slaughter! The Tibetan army was almost completely wiped out, and only a few generals fled back to the country.

Later, the Tibetan people recorded that they wrote more than 100 words about the preparations for this expedition;

As for the outcome of this expedition, he wrote a word like gold: also!

"What are you looking at?"

Pei Xiu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Fang Chongyong woke up from his contemplation, took the wine jug in the other party's hand, and sighed with emotion: "It's just a review of the Tang Army's battle against Tubo back then." ”

"On this piece of waste?"

Pei Xiu didn't say anything polite to Fang Chongyong, and sat directly on the stone bench in the room, pointing to the scribbled piece of paper on the stone table. The line above is clearly a canyon, closed on the left and right, and the road on the upper and lower sides.

There are also a lot of incomprehensible marks on the paper.

"Yes, on this piece of paper."

Fang Chongyong sighed, as if he was very melancholy.

"Uh, so what did you come up with?"

Pei Xiu seemed to be in a very good mood today, and asked like a curious baby.

Fang Chongyong originally wanted to habitually say "You know a fart", but suddenly softened a little and began to pity the "mallet" in front of him.

Although he and Pei Xiu are in different circumstances, they are both involuntarily.

So Fang Chongyong opened his mouth and said:

"At that time, there were more than 20,000 Tibetan troops trapped in this place called Kangwolf Mountain Canyon. Because the corpses were examined afterwards, 20,000 heads were found, and there must have been many that were not found, so it can be preliminarily believed that the Tubo people lost at least 30,000 people when they went on the expedition.

It can be regarded as a big victory for the Tang army.

The only unlucky guy on the side of the Tang army generals is my father-in-law's father, Wang Yunxiu's grandfather Wang Haibin. ”

Fang Chongyong pointed to the sketch map on the table and said.

"And then?" Pei Xiu nodded, although she didn't understand military affairs, but she had heard her father Pei Min say before that swordsmanship was just a small way and couldn't achieve anything great. Only by making good use of the art of war, only the ability above the battle array, is the first-class ability.

Whether Fang Chongyong has the ability to do this Pei Xiu is not sure for the time being, but at least the other party looks like a famous general.

"Wang Haibin was originally stationed in the military ranks, and as a vanguard, he defeated the Tubo people north of the long castle. At that time, if you were the commander of the Tang Army, what would you do? ”

Fang Chongyong asked in a deep voice.

"You won't take me for a fool, of course you will block the Tubo people in the valley and beat them to death!"

Pei Xiu asked inexplicably, even if she didn't understand the art of war, she knew that only by looking at the terrain could she drive the Tubo people with many horses into the valley to fight a war of annihilation.

"Of course it is. But you all know about this, and the commander of the Tang Army who commanded this battle also knows, can the Tubo people not know? ”

Fang Chongyong asked a question that hit the soul, and without waiting for Pei Xiu to answer, he immediately made up another knife:

"Moreover, at that time, the Tubo people were just attacking southward, and the main force of the army not only did not suffer major losses, but also had abundant physical strength.

Even if the Tang army was deployed at both ends of the valley, the Tubo people were trapped and the beasts were still fighting, and it was easy to break through the Tang army's defense line, and finally fell short.

At this time, if the Tibetans were blocked, the outcome of the war might have to be rewritten. ”

Fang Chongyong said a certain conclusion of his review of the first war of the year.

Pei Xiu nodded slightly, the other party said it in an easy-to-understand manner, and she understood the mallet who did not move military affairs.

"So, what did the Tang Army Commander do back then?"

Pei Xiu asked with interest.

"It's very simple, the follow-up army of the Tang Army postponed the progress of the encirclement, and only let Wang Haibin and one army attack the Tubo people, so that the Tubo people could not retreat and enter.

The Tang army's arrangement in this way will make the Tubo people think: The follow-up main force of the Tang army has not yet arrived, as long as Wang Haibin is defeated, then it can go south to Chang Castle and then attack Didao County.

In this way, the dilemma they faced would be solved.

Therefore, the Tubo people could have run away, but they were lucky and afraid that they would return in vain, and they were afraid that they would be held accountable after they returned, so they fought a fierce battle with the Tang army led by Wang Haibin.

When they were trapped in the valley with no morale and exhausted, the main force of the Tang Army blocked them in the valley of Kang Wolf Mountain! I don't need to go into detail about how it ended. ”

Fang Chongyong tapped his finger on the map on the stone table and said. The Tibetans were beaten badly in this battle, but it was because they were tricked, not because they did not have intelligence.

Fang Chongyong's words made Pei Xiu misty, and after a long time, Pei Xiu suddenly realized: "Ah, that's the thing!" I heard my father say that it was many people who died because of their opinions, and they were jealous of Wang Haibin's military exploits that led to the tragedy, but it turned out that this was not entirely the case! ”

Compared with Pei Min's "generals are jealous of Wang Haihai's great achievements and do not send troops", Pei Xiu obviously believes in Fang Chongyong's rhetoric.

The battlefield military law is not a joke, and other Tang Army generals may be jealous of Wang Haibin's great achievements and refuse to rescue, but there must be cowards among these people, who are afraid of being held accountable after the war and go to rescue Wang Haibin, how can they not even arrive with a rescue force?

The truth of this past may be difficult to verify now. However, it is an indisputable fact that after the war, the commanders and generals of all armies were rewarded, and they were not beaten by Ji Geqiu, and they were not sought revenge by Wang Zhonghe.

The main general made overall arrangements and deliberately sent Wang Haibin to drag the Tubo people, and then the Tang army waited for work and besieged the Tubo people in the valley to fight a super annihilation war, which may be the truth of the facts, and the main reason why no one was liquidated by Ji Ge after the war.

On the battlefield, including the general, there is no one who cannot be sacrificed, and this is where the cruelty of war lies.

Fighting a war is only about winning and losing, regardless of sacrifice.

"I'll talk to you about something."

Fang Chongyong put away the map, looked at Pei Xiu and said.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Fang Chongyong so serious, Pei Xiu beat a drum in his heart and couldn't help but get nervous.

"Tomorrow, let Judge Cen send you to the Wujie Station, and you can take the carriage of the post station back to Chang'an by yourself. Be careful on the road and don't eat what strangers give, it shouldn't be a big problem. ”

Fang Chongyong sighed and said.

"Uh, why?"

Pei Xiu didn't want to leave, and he was embarrassed to say it, so he twisted it for a long time and popped up such a sentence.

"There is going to be a war on Longyou's side. After you return to Chang'an, let the family arrange an honest man to marry you. Now the world is slowly becoming not very good, so running around, let alone my daughter's family, even if it is me, it is difficult to say that it is absolutely safe. ”

Fang Chongyong poured Pei Xiu a glass of wine and said softly: "After drinking this glass of wine, let's leave it alone, and you will go with Judge Cen tomorrow." After sending you to Didao County, he will return to Shanzhou City to join us. ”

Pei Xiu took the wine glass neatly and drank the turbid wine inside, the sour taste made her frown. She didn't drink badly, but the wine sent from the barracks was really sour and astringent.

"I'm not leaving."

After drinking, Pei Xiu took a deep breath and said.

"It's very unsafe on Longyou's side, and the danger doesn't come from me. Just because I don't do anything to you doesn't mean that others won't do anything to you.

Bian Zhenqiu is rude, you have to know in your heart. ”

Fang Chongyong said with a slight frown. He has said this, why doesn't Pei Xiu's mallet understand.

"I'm not leaving."

Pei Xiu said very firmly, without explaining why.

Fang Chongyong looked at her childish and stubborn like a child, and suddenly couldn't help but sneer, and he didn't know what he was laughing at.

"What do you mean by that?"

Pei Xiu complained with a little dissatisfaction.

"There's a question I haven't asked, and now I'm just going to ask you."

Fang Chongyong put away his smile and looked at Pei Xiu with burning eyes.

"You ask, there's nothing you can't ask."

Pei Xiu pretended to say freely, and his heart had already risen to his throat.

"What are you going to do that day in the carriage, when you arched my face like a pig?"

Fang Chongyong looked at Pei Xiu with a smile and asked.

"Huh? That's what you say......"

Pei Xiu instantly blushed to the base of her neck, if Fang Chongyong didn't say it, she would have forgotten about it.

Pei Xiu is now accustomed to gags around Fang Chongyong, casually talking nonsense, and has long forgotten what he thought in the first place.

She was thinking wildly, eager to run out quickly, and when she couldn't take a step, she was immediately hugged by Fang Chongyong in his arms. The lips of the two were pressed together, and soon Pei Xiu understood the mystery of kissing, put his hands around Fang Chongyong's neck, and the two kissed inseparably.

It didn't take long for Fang Chongyong and Pei Xiu to be outside the room, and Cen Shen, who was holding an account book in his hand, gently pushed open the corner of the door.

Then he saw that Chongyong and Pei Xiu were busy above the bed, and in a panic, Pei Xiu's clothes were thrown to the ground one by one, so Cen Shen carefully closed the door, tiptoed away, and told He Changqi and others not to disturb Fang Chongyong's rest.

Finally, this stupid girl is not stupid enough to go home!

Cen Shen sighed in his heart.

In fact, according to his understanding, these two should have been involved a long time ago. Anyone in the group knew it was going to be sooner or later.

Qiu Ba on the west side of the river may not lack orchids, but Qiu Ba in the camp of Longyou Town, many people have not seen what a woman looks like for many years. A young and beautiful woman like Pei Xiu went to the border town, and she was just the so-called guards around Fang Chongyong, so she was not swallowed alive by these Qiu Ba!

If Pei Xiu wasn't for Fang Chongyong's confinement, she would be on Longyou's side, and she would be chaste in less than a month.

What if her father is the sword saint Pei Min, Qiu Ba doesn't pay attention to things that have been around for so long, and it has been a long time since he was retaliated against. The military envoy of a large army in Longyou has a lot of power, and there is nothing that cannot be done.

In their eyes, beautiful women are just like that, and they play when they play.

If Pei Xiu is Fang Chongyong's woman, then others will not dare to do it, otherwise they will not die. It's not worth it to conflict with Fang Youde's son for a woman.

Cen Shen secretly thought that with that Fang Yanei's character of being afraid of trouble, maybe the other party chose to drag Pei Xiu to bed today, and it was really time to do it. When they arrive in Shanzhou City, they will "do things" again, which will easily cause unnecessary trouble.

……

"Fang Yushi! Fang Yushi! ”

It was already three poles in the morning, and there was a hurried knock on Cen Shen's door outside the door.

"Let's sleep again, I'm tired."

Pei Xiu, whose body was about to be tossed apart, shrunk into Fang Chongyong's arms and muttered, last night she understood what it means to be a fierce man from the sky, and finally understood why there was actually a palace maid in the palace, risking being killed, and willing to fall into the forbidden army of the guards to cheat.

It's really because that kind of is so embarrassing and addictive!

From a girl to a woman last night, Pei Xiu has seen a lot.

Fang Chongyong closed his eyes and didn't speak at the moment, he hadn't touched a woman for more than half a month, he was romantic last night, that kind of refreshment really made people want to sing. At the moment, he is still reminiscing about the excitement of last night.

After last night's incident, Fang Chongyong somewhat understood why in the Tang Dynasty, where productivity was not high, so many powerful people liked to mess around, and women changed one after another. It's really because different women are different landscapes, which can bring people completely different new experiences.

In Datang, where entertainment is scarce, this is one of the rare pleasures!

This kind of fresh excitement alone will make men who are teenagers and playful to death want to stop, and this kind of will be addictive!

"I'm really a layman."

Fang Chongyong couldn't help but sigh and muttered to himself. I became "Brother Ji" last night, and my understanding of Brother Ji deepened a little.

Anyway, it's okay today, just wait for Shanzhou City to send someone over. Fang Chongyong didn't want to get up, hugged Pei Xiu's smooth shoulders and planned to continue sleeping, and he didn't bother to take care of Cen Shen. He was even thinking about whether to make a silver announcement in the daytime, and would have another biological discussion with Pei Xiu.

But the inner uneasiness still suppressed this impulse. Fang Chongyong was afraid that he would indulge excessively and become a monster controlled by his lower body in the future.

"Fang Yushi, the eunuch Bian Lingcheng sent by Chang'an has come to Longzhi City! Say there's something big to see! It's in the barracks! ”

found that there was no response in the room, and Cen Shen's anxious voice outside the door was out of tune.

There's another chapter today
