"Jie Shuai, this is ......"

The two brothers, Wu Chengen and Wu Chengxuan, who have the nickname of "Yuanmen Erlong", looked at Fang Chongyong with a puzzled expression, with a confused expression, recalling where they had seen each other before.

"The history of Shazhou Fang Thorn?"

Wu Chengxuan suddenly remembered that after winning the battle in Tubo, he went to Liangzhou City to receive the reward, and he seemed to have seen Fang Chongyong at the banquet.

It's just that the other party was young back then, and his body seemed to be much thinner and shorter than now!

"Haha, thanks to you still remembering what happened back then, the two Pingyu pioneers, have been admired for a long time."

Fang Chongyong shook hands with the two of them and said.

"Fang Jieshuai!"

Wu Chengen and Wu Chengxuan knelt down directly and kowtowed, bursting into tears. How they have come over the past few years, I don't know.

As for why these two people refused to leave the barracks and go home to live in seclusion?

Because the Liangzhou Wu clan is a local wealthy family, if they go home to live in seclusion, wouldn't it confirm the rumors of "family rebellion"?

When the time comes, if the family doesn't rebel, it will have to rebel!

Only when the two of them continue to serve in the army as ordinary soldiers and are willing to be beaten can it be shown that the Wu family has no other intentions.

This is also the main reason why in Fang Chongyong's previous life, after An Lushan's rebellion, Ji Ge also did An Sishun.

Rebellions are usually fought by the whole family, and it is safer to slaughter them, even if there are unjust killings, they can't care so much.

Who asked An Sishun's uncle to marry a second marriage with a son (that is, An Lushan)!

The same applies to the two dragons.

"I'm about to go to Tibet, and you two are the vanguards.

If you are the first to make the most of this battle, you will be promoted to the vanguard of the peace in this section!

If you die in this battle, this section commander will erect a monument for you!

Wouldn't it be happy that the eldest husband was shrouded in horse leather and died as he deserved! ”

Fang Chongyong helped the second dragon of Yuanmen up again, and said loudly, deliberately so that the generals in the entire tent could hear it!

"Humble duty will never disappoint the high expectations of the marshal!"

Wu Chengen and Wu Chengxuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic, thumping.

"He Laohu, give the two Pingyu pioneers a strong trip!

Today, there is only pickles and tofu, and you will eat it first.

After the Tibetan Revolution is broken, the bold husband will drink wine in a big bowl together and eat meat in large pieces! Be merry! ”

Fang Chongyong pointed to the gurgling cauldron, laughed, and said heartily.

"Please!"

He Changqi put a few pieces of tofu in two plates, walked over and handed them to Yuanmen Erlong, and quietly stepped aside.

Yuanmen Erlong didn't want to think about it, he grabbed the tofu directly with his hands, gobbled it up and stuffed it into his mouth, only to feel that the tofu on the plate was salty, fragrant and tender, and the taste was incomparably wonderful!

"Yuanmen Erlong, you have eaten in the same pot with so many generals of the Hexi Border Army.

When you go into battle, you just rush forward, and you don't have to worry about someone sharing the credit of the people. ”

Fang Chongyong personally took the plate that the two had finished eating, and encouraged them to say.

This scene was seen by everyone in the tent, and everyone's expressions were both admiration and doubt. Some people seem to have seen Guo Zhiyun, who was powerful back then; There are also people who remain silent, as if nothing has happened.

……

"Wang Zhonghe, what are you eating! Does he, the envoy of the Longyou Festival, still want to do it!

Gonu! What do you say I'm going to do now!

Do you just watch the Tubo people conquer the city in my Tang Dynasty? ”

In the study room of the diligent government affairs building of Xingqing Palace, Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, directly threw a front-line battle report on the face of the right minister Li Linfu!

400,000 people in Tibet, the troops were divided into three ways to attack the Longyou Jiedu envoy defense area, and the main attack was Shibao City.

After analyzing the military situation, Wang Zhongsi chose to concentrate his forces to hold the front line of Shibao City, so that he could barely keep Shanzhou from losing.

In the other two ways, the Tibetan army was like a bamboo, bullying the Tang army with few soldiers, and they both made considerable progress.

One of the Tubo troops conquered Diezhou (Diebe County, Gansu), and the Jishi Army defending Diezhou was defeated and retreated to Huaidao County (Zhouqu, Qinghai).

On the other hand, the Tubo army attacked Taozhou (Lintan County, Gansu), where the 7,000 Momen army was stationed, and the two armies fought bloodily for three days under the Wulu Mountain, and the corpses were all over the field, and finally the Momen army retreated to Minzhou (Minxian County, Gansu).

The Tubo army pursued relentlessly and attacked Minzhou again.

The remnants of the Momen Army integrated a small number of border troops in Minzhou, and after a short rest, they did not defend the city, but took the initiative to move to the Longma Mountain area on the border between Minzhou and Weizhou, and broke the Tubo chasing army in Longma Mountain, beheading 5,000 people.

The Tubo army was beaten with a stick, and had to retreat to Minle County, Minzhou Prefecture. The Momen Army continued to set up a camp in the area of Longma Mountain to prevent the Tubo army from attacking Weizhou.

The two sides confronted each other near Longma Mountain, and the situation in the western part of Weizhou was precarious.

Longxi County, Xiangwu County and other places in the east of Weizhou are the gateways of Guanzhong.

Although the Tibetan army was at the end of the crossbow, and the road ahead was rugged, it needed to climb mountains and mountains, and could not support the logistics of a large-scale army. But after all, the Tubo people have penetrated deep into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty this time, penetrating the defense area of the Longyou Jiedu envoy.

Theoretically, if the soldiers of this Tubo army are all fearless of death, and the Tang Dynasty is defeated in the next key battle, then this partial division already has the capital to kill in Guanzhong and go back in Chang'an!

was connected to three states by the Tubo, and Weizhou was in an emergency, which made Ji Ge angry.

Thanks to Wang Zhonghe, he kept the Stone Castle City, otherwise he would most likely be removed from his post and investigated by Brother Ji immediately!

Not only that, Li Linfu's defects in military affairs have been infinitely magnified this time. In the face of the defeat on the Longyou front, he was slapped by Brother Ji for a while, and Li Linfu was stunned and couldn't say anything to justify.

Is there a problem with Wang Zhonghe's arrangement?

In fact, it's just a decent one, and it's not a big deal.

In Longyou, the Tang army itself suffered the loss of geographical advantages and division of troops. The Tubo army can be mobilized at will on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, pointing to where to fight, and the defense area of the Longyou Jiedu envoy is naturally divided into three by the mountain range!

Li Linfu asked himself, even if he was in Shanzhou, he couldn't change the situation. Diezhou, Taozhou, and Minzhou are all the lower prefectures of the Tang Dynasty, with a large number of poor counties and few border residents.

The Tang army deployed heavy troops to defend it, but in fact, it was just to block the route of the Tubo people into Guanzhong.

But even in these three pieces of chicken ribs, the living conditions are much better than the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau where the Tubo people live, so the Tubo army's will to fight is very high. Every year after autumn, the Tibetans need to spend the winter at low altitudes and in warm and humid places.

Fighting and aggression are their hard needs for survival.

Therefore, the loss of Longyou Town in this wave of confrontation is just the daily life of the border town battle. Brother Ji was angry, all because of the mentality of "Lao Tzu is the best in the world".

However, if you don't understand things in military affairs, you don't understand, you barely pretend to understand, and when something happens, it's not so easy to shake the pot!

As an old coin, Li Linfu, how can he hard-top Brother Ji.

He bowed to Brother Ji and said slowly:

"The former general of the Shence Army is virtuous, brave and good at fighting, has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and has won the trust of the saints.

Now, the sage asked him to serve as the envoy of the Xuanwu Army, and the edict sent to Bianzhou was not sent on Weichen's desk.

Originally, Weichen planned to wait for the birthday of the saint this year, and then let General Fang go to Bianzhou, so that he could celebrate the saint's birthday in Chang'an.

Now it is better to advance and let General Fang lead the Shence army to Weizhou in the name of Xuanwu Town, and after repelling the Tubo people, he will go to Bianzhou to take up his post. ”

Li Linfu, who doesn't understand military affairs, understands Brother Ji's mind very well.

Today's Brother Ji just wants the world to be stable and prosperous. If prosperity cannot be achieved, then stability must be maintained.

The Tubo people have hit Weizhou, which makes Brother Ji, who is sitting in Chang'an, feel unstable, so this Tang Dynasty emperor will be annoyed and angry!

As for why the troops and horses in Hexi were not mobilized, it was because ...... In those days, there were no airborne troops, and it was impossible to dig tunnels deep in the mountains. The eight people of Hexi Hill can't cross hundreds of kilometers and there are no mountain roads, and the altitude is more than 2,000 meters above sea level!

The Hexi soldiers could only barely support Shanzhou, and could not support Diezhou, Taozhou, and Minzhou, which were the southernmost parts of the Longyou Jiedu Defense Area, which was also the tricky place for the Tubo people to use troops. They know where the Tang army is stronger, so they know that they can't get a bargain, so they won't send it in vain, even if they are not afraid of death.

"That's fine."

Brother Ji sighed helplessly, no matter which emperor he is, he is hated when he uses it. These two Tubo armies were partial divisions, which just happened to pinch the upper limit of the strength of the Tang army, and their purpose was to let Wang Zhongsi transfer troops south and weaken the defensive strength of Shibao City.

And Wang Zhongsi also saw the intentions of the Tubo people, so he concentrated most of the main forces on the front line of Shanzhou and was not fooled. The other two roads each have an army in Longyou Town, one of which has 4,000 men and the other has 7,000 men, and they can't support each other.

If you want to push back the Tubo army with "10,000 people" as a unit, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

Now the Tang army is short of a new force, and it can revitalize the chess game.

Of course, this army could not be the border army of Hexi, they were either from Guanzhong or Jiannan.

Not to mention the soldiers in Jiannan Town, the mountain road is still rugged and difficult to travel, and it is obviously impossible to carry out the military order to support Longyou. Therefore, the Shence Army's westward expedition to Longnan is actually just "a choice that is not a choice", and there is no choice at all.

"The matter of Jiaozi must be done in advance, don't wait for my birthday, it costs money to use soldiers, and it is the right time to send Jiaozi."

Brother Ji said to Li Linfu in a deep voice that he no longer wanted to discuss war-related topics with the other party.

Anyway, Fang Youde hasn't left Chang'an yet, just say hello after Li Linfu leaves Xingqing Palace.

"Back to the saint, the matter of Jiaozi is already being done. Now that it has been raining for more than a month, Guanzhong is likely to be flooded this year, should the green seedling method be ......?"

Li Linfu asked with a difficult look on his face.

In a year of great floods, there will be a poor harvest. If the harvest fails, a large number of yeoman farmers will surely go bankrupt this year.

Originally, the so-called "green seedling method" should be inspected again, and it should be piloted in a certain state and county that produces a lot of grain. However, looking at this posture, it is estimated that the bankrupt homesteaders in Guanzhong this year will be stubble after stubble.

In Datang, the original prime minister was a game of "beating the drum and passing the flowers". The prime minister's term of office is about four years, and as long as there are no problems in office, he can get a good reputation. But Li Linfu can't play drumming and passing flowers, because he has been the right minister for so many years, and he will continue to serve as the last stick, he is always the last stick to beat the drum and pass the flowers.

Rather than mentioning the seedling law again after an accident and lowering the interest rate to give loans to homesteaders, it is better to put it forward before the implementation of Jiaozi, and appear to be "prescient".

If Brother Ji nods and something happens in the future, it won't be his responsibility!

If Brother Ji denies, after something big happens, Li Linfu will mention the matter of Qingmiao Loan again, and get twice the result with half the effort!

Win hemp!

"Of course, you have to give a loan to the seedlings!

Brother Nu, Brother Nu, do you still need me to remind you of this kind of thing, you should have been ready a long time ago! ”

Brother Ji scolded with a displeased face! seems to have seen through the other party's careful thinking!

"The sage has taught me a lesson, so Weichen asked Liu Yan to speed up, send Jiaozi in advance, and deploy the promotion of the Qingmiao Method in advance."

Li Linfu said with a smile on his face and a low brow.

"Go ahead! The matter of military spending must not be delayed.

Before the Divine Command Army sets out on the expedition, the reward must be sufficient! Prepare all the food and ordnance!

This time, I want as many Tubo people as many people to die, and no one is allowed to run away! ”

Brother Ji said viciously, that expression was similar to that of an incompetent and angry uncle who lost a game of chess on the street.

Brother Ji actually doesn't care about the Qiu Ba people of the border army and the forbidden army, whether they are doing well or not, and whether they are happy to live a high life. But he was very afraid that Weizhou would be captured by the Tubo army, and the gate of Guanzhong would be wide open, so it would be a lot of fun!

Bai Juyi wrote "Today's border defense is in Fengxiang", that is because after experiencing the Anshi Rebellion, the vitality of the Tang Dynasty could not stop the Tubo people;

If Li Bai wrote something "Today's border defense is in Fengxiang" in the near future, then Brother Ji's face would really be unbearable.

"Wechen must do it well."

Li Linfu saluted without changing his face, turned around and exited the study. When I came out, I found that my back was all wet with cold sweat.

In fact, during the Kaiyuan period, the Tang army made even bigger jokes, and the festival envoys were beheaded. At that time, Brother Ji was indifferent, because he was sure that he could completely control the situation, and he was not a Tibetan person at all.

And now, Kego has become irritable and agitated. The Tubo people's attack on Weizhou made him flustered.

Is he really afraid of the Tibetans? Li Linfu silently asked himself a question that he didn't dare to think about at all.

……

"The entrance to the Great Dou Ba Valley is the station of the Great Dou Army.

And the exit of Dadou Tu Valley is Ebao Ridge! There are Tubo people who built a city here on the Ebao Ridge and set up heavy troops in the city.

When we conquer Ebao Ridge, we can attack the land of the Tubo people's horses. ”

On a tattered map, Fang Chongyong picked up a charcoal pen, drew a circle in the shape of a certain hill, and said to several generals around him.

This sentence is actually true, or it is correct to the extreme, and it belongs to the classic "correct nonsense".

The key to this battle to break through Tibet is in Ebaoling, everyone present knows it, and they don't even need to look at the map, they all know what's going on over there.

The logistics base where the Tubo people are located, and it is also the target of Fang Chongyong's preparation for this strategy, is a valley and high platform terrain, where the Tubo people have wooden villages, but no cities.

Ebao Ridge is in the high place, the valley is in the low place, next to the river, there is arable land and grassland, you can grow grain and graze at the same time, providing a large amount of grain and grass for the Tubo army.

This area is a little higher than the area where the Great Dou Army is located, but it is lower than the elevation of this narrow mountain road in the Great Dou Tu Valley.

If the Tang army wants to attack here, the marching route will present three adjacent areas of "lowest-highest-high". To put it simply, it is difficult to climb the mountain, but it is not difficult to climb the mountain.

And Ebao Ridge is at the top of the mountain! It is also guarding the exit of the Great Dou Tu Valley! After Ebao Ridge, it is a smooth road!

There is no need to say whether Ebaoling is the winner or loser of the battle, the key is: how did the Tang army take the Ebaoling heavily guarded by the Tubo people!

All the generals looked at Fang Chongyong and didn't speak.

"There's no need to think about it, this section commander has already had a strategy to break the enemy.

Let all the soldiers eat and drink to their heart's content, and bring seven days' dry rations.

Tomorrow morning, we will set off for Ebaoling!

I'm very busy tonight, and I still have some preparations to do, so let's disperse. ”

Fang Chongyong seems to have deliberately not told the key to breaking the game to others, in order to prevent leakage of news.

In his opinion, this battle is a soldier and a god. Breaking Tibet, you don't need to waste time with the other party at all, you only need one night to tell the winner!
