Take the mall to Datang

If this is the case, people like Li Jing will fall into a passive position. If they really come so many times, I am afraid that the Tubo people will take the opportunity to really launch and attack.

Another point is that Li Jing's deployment needs to secretly dispatch people south according to Yuan Shan's intention.

The detour itself takes time, and Hezhou must be defended, and the Tubo spies cannot be allowed to find out what happened in Hezhou.

Li Jing was already having a headache. If he wanted to confuse the real with the fake, Hou Junji's eagerness to ask for credit could be used. Wasn't he very active in blocking the Tubo soldiers before?

They even chased Tubo across a distance of two states. Fortunately, they won or they would be restrained by Tubo soldiers. Hezhou soldiers and horses must go to help.

Hou Junji, apart from his great accomplishments, is also very intelligent. He has some ideas about how to use troops. If he trains his abilities, his ability will be no less than that of him and Li Ji.

The orders given by Yuan Shan had to be obeyed. He was in charge of leading the troops to fight the grand strategy. Someone had already formulated it. What else could he say.

When Yuchi Baolin met Li Jing in person, he explained the intentions of the Tubo people they had analyzed, and Li Jing began to deploy as soon as he heard it, all of which were carried out in secret. After some people go out, many people will turn around on the way and leave with the caravans coming and going.

After several days of preparation, the first batch of Beiya imperial guards arrived at Songzhou, and now they have made some preparations.

Li Jing's strategy was to be on the defensive, but he didn't stop Hou Junji from taking the initiative to look for fighter opportunities, and he was very supportive, and the allocation of food and materials was very face-saving.

This made Hou Junji, who had just taken office as Minister of War, very useful. After all, he knew that Li Jing was only a general that His Majesty would use during wartime, and it did not conflict with his interests, but he was still obsessed with military exploits.

At the Hezhou barracks station, Hou Junji led 1 vanguard soldiers and horses to prepare in Hezhou, preparing to go to Tuyuhun to compete with the Tubo people.

"Hou Shangshu, you need to be more careful when you go deep into the enemy's hinterland. The Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses are strong, but there are too many environmental constraints, so you must be careful when you take the initiative to attack." Li Jing said.

"The chief manager said yes, and his subordinates must obey his orders." Hou Junji was in a particularly good mood today, and after holding it in for so long, he was finally able to show off his skills. His idea at this time was simply to prove to himself that his ability was beyond compare. Second to Li Jing, Li Ji and others.

"Report, the general manager's troops, horses, food and grass have been prepared." The messenger came in.

"Understood, you should step back first." Li Jing said to his subordinates.

"The food and grass are ready, and the troops brought by Hou Shangshu can set off at any time. If necessary, you can send someone to inform me that I will be dispatched in time." Li Jing said.

"Boss, my subordinates are going to check the barracks, so let's go." Hou Junji said.

Seeing Hou Junji's face full of arrogance, Li Jing didn't say anything. This time, the people led by Hou Junji planned to have only one role, and that was to really harass Tubo, so that they would not be able to detect the movements behind the Tang Dynasty, and it would be even better to take the initiative to attack reality.

Everything in the other state capitals was as usual. In fact, people in several state capitals had expectations for Hou Junji's soldiers and horses. Wouldn't it be very satisfying if they could really beat the enemy hard.

I don't know if Hou Junji was really eager to do meritorious service or if his cavalry was so fast that they arrived at Tuyuhun half a day earlier. As soon as they found the Tubo people, they made a convenient and fierce attack.

Hou Junji's vanguard battalion had only 3000 troops. During the raid, they killed three in and three out. The loss of troops would be serious, but the results of the battle were quite fruitful, and a vanguard of the Tubo people was directly dispersed.

Upon receiving such news, Duan Zhixuan of Shancheng immediately sent a 5000-strong cavalry team to join the interception battle.

After winning the first battle, the morale of the people led by Hou Junji soared, and they began to fight against a small group of Tubo vanguards around Tuyuhun.

The lively fight ahead was all small-scale collisions. As long as the Tubo vanguard delayed for a while, the rear support would come up immediately. Hou Junji chose to retreat when the number of people was not dominant, and repeated the harassment again after the Tubo people returned. .

As for the transfer orders issued by Yuanshan, some of the state capitals were transferred back to Chang'an in name, and all of them hit Lanzhou City at once.

However, the real place to go is to make an ambush in Songzhou area.

Lanzhou City, Yuan Shan, Xu Rengui, Yuchi Baolin, Zhang Wenyi, and Li Junxian are still studying countermeasures at the sand table.

Du Qianyu was invited by several young generals to discuss together, and he did not reject Yuan Shan, on the contrary, he supported Yuan Shan very much. He advocated that "women can hold up half the sky", and there were still female generals in ancient times.

"If you send all your troops to Songzhou, my Tubo soldiers can still go straight to Shancheng or Hezhou. Even if the two sides fight together, with 20 soldiers and horses, it will be more than enough. If you don't have enough troops, how can you defend. " Li Junxian said, he is still playing the Tubo side, and Zhang Wenyi is his staff.

"Songzhou and Tubo can harass and plunder, even if the retreat has no effect on the battle situation, and if you pass on the news that Songzhou has assembled a large number of troops, you will fall into a passive position." Li Junxian said, although he was not sure if he could really Attack the next two states, but there is no problem in attacking for a while.

Du Qianyu and others began to study, if the Tubo people really did this, wouldn't their plan be superfluous.

"If the main force cannot move, at least one hundred thousand soldiers and horses must be here just in case." Du Qianyu said.

"Will 5 troops play a role in Songzhou? After all, we don't know the true intentions of the Tubo people. It may be difficult for [-] troops to block and pursue them." Xue Rengui said.

Yuan Shan said at this time: "Actually, I already guessed this point from the very beginning. Isn't their goal the Dang Xiang and the Baiqiang people? We can lie in ambush near them and wait for Tubo to make a real move. We can catch them by surprise. If Success can also ease the relationship between tribes, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"Now let me assign a task, Yuchi Baolin, Wei Dayou, you two can go to Songzhou to prepare, remember to give full play to the advantages of your arms, don't be reckless, and use more wisdom. Once you succeed, don't go back to Songzhou to garrison, but go all the way Go north and take the Tubo camp." Yuan Shan said.

Yuchi Baolin was about to speak, but was interrupted by Yuan Shan.

Chapter 803 Gar Qinling Zandro

"I know it is very difficult for you. After you have altitude sickness, you can slow down your progress. Do you know how to boil frogs in warm water? I have already told you about the methods for altitude sickness. Soldiers must rest. You can travel less every day, so persistence may affect the speed, but the soldiers can also adapt to the local environment faster, and once you adapt to the environment, your combat effectiveness will be guaranteed." Yuan Shan continued.

Yuchi Baolin nodded, there is nothing to do now, otherwise so many Tubo soldiers would send the vanguard Gulai to harass them again, and their people would be trapped in Songzhou to garrison, so the loss outweighs the gain.

The best way is to catch the opponent by surprise.

"Teacher, I understand, we will proceed according to the original plan." Yuchi Baolin promised, of course, adapting to changes is a real skill learned by Ghost Hunter Cavalry, but it needs to be decided due to the battle.

"Huo Da, Xue Rengui, you guys are preparing to cooperate with the Beiya Imperial Army in Lanzhou to use all the firearms and prepare to wait for the arrival of the Tubo people at any time." Yuan Shan said.

"Yes." The two replied.

"General Li, Governor Zhang, you need to prepare your troops and horses as soon as possible. Maybe the Tubo people will not really fight Datang, but it is also possible that they will really fight. We must make sufficient preparations at that time, even if it takes a lot of time to fight." They must also be exhausted, and the people from the Economic and Development Department will send enough food in the shortest possible time, and then you must work with Li Jing, Duan Zhixuan and other departments to complete the supply work." Yuan Shan continued.

"Don't worry, Lan Guogong, we will do a good job." Zhang Wenyi said, these tasks are all his duties.

Li Junxian meant that he wanted to go to the front line, but Yuan Shan didn't agree. Everything was prepared to remain unchanged. He couldn't do it without anyone under his command, so Li Junxian could only stay in Lanzhou for now.

The general direction is determined, now wait for all the chess pieces to be placed in the position.

In Songtsan Gampo's camp, there are orchids dancing for fun, and a group of people are eating beef and mutton and discussing matters.

They are very troubled now. Although the population of Tuyuhun was plundered by the Tang Dynasty, there are still many tribes produced by tribes. The land is vast and sparsely populated. After they gather, the soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty have already left, and instead ushered in Tubo. People, so the two sides began to conflict.

The 20 soldiers and horses of Tubo need to eat and drink. Fortunately, they all move for the lifestyle of nomads. The 20 soldiers and horses bring not only 20 people, but also a large number of livestock. Such a huge tribal model Very bad for jurisdiction.

And many tribal nobles who have been slow to take action against Datang have very strong opinions, but they dare not do anything due to the strength of Songtsan Gampo.

A few days ago, the soldiers of Datang came to make trouble, and many small tribes suffered a lot. This time they want to use this matter to put forward their ideas.

"My lord, we can't continue to stay like this. You must know that our supplies are very limited. The rich Datang Prefecture is right in front of our eyes. Should we just look at it like this? I heard that Lanzhou City is the most Wealth, the wealth there is so crowded, why don't we take it for ourselves." Noble Dalbato said.

"That's right, but don't forget that they have hundreds of thousands of soldiers waiting for us. If we really fight in the past, we won't have any big gains. Our advantage lies in the wilderness and grassland, and we need to wait for our troops Isn't it already on the way, you just wait for the good news, I will make the emperor of Tang Dynasty pay the greatest price, in addition to getting in touch with the marriage between Tubo and Datang, I also want to marry a princess of Tang Dynasty. "Songtsan Gambo said.

The nobles were discussing with their subordinates, and the king of Tubo had spoken. They knew very well in their hearts that they would not be able to take advantage of it if they fought directly. They had already suffered a loss when they attacked Shancheng.

What they were more concerned about was that Tang's soldiers and horses could destroy Tuyuhun in a very short period of time. This kind of strength was too strong. Songtsan Gampo was not a fool, and he didn't want to go to war as a last resort.

"Considering the time, General Gar Chinling Tsandro has almost started to act. We just need to wait for the envoys from the Tang Dynasty to negotiate." Songtsan Gampo said.

Gar Dongzan was Lu Dongzan who later married Princess Wencheng to the Tang people. His attitude has always been friendly with the Tang people, and the Gar Qinlingzanzhuo mentioned by Songtsan Gampo is his son.

He is a brave and wise man who led [-] elite soldiers to attack Dangxiang. The Baiqiang people obtained a lot of money and caused some troubles for Datang, so that Songtsen Gampo's plan would succeed.
