over ten thousand people

In the early morning of the next day, the arrangements for Tubo were made, and the ruling and opposition parties were shaken.

The first thing that shocked the ministers was naturally that Tubo destroyed Tuyuhun.

In the early years, the western border of our country was Dangxiang, Tuyuhun, and Bailanqiang from south to north, and it was not directly adjacent to Tubo.Later, Dangxiang belonged to our dynasty, Tuyuhun merged with Bailanqiang, and the biggest problem in the southwest became Tuyuhun.Now that Tuyuhun has destroyed the country, and Tubo is already watching, no one can calm down——

Tuyuhun alone harassed the border and made the border restless. How could it be better to replace it with Tubo, which was several times larger than Tuyuhun?

As for the second thing, it is obvious that it is not sending troops to help, but that I want to help the government.

Although there is a party and garrison in the Die Mansion, no major incidents will happen under normal circumstances, but this is indeed the first time I have gone to the Northwest.From the perspective of the party and the peace, a boss who has never been on the battlefield is not a good thing in any way.If Tubo doesn't fight Longyou, it's fine. If it fights Longyou, wouldn't it be chaos on both sides?

This kind of worry is similar to what the ministers didn't say clearly last night.I didn't bother to explain it again, so I just listened to Wang Ruojun and Xie Jingyu speaking for me from left to right.In the end, the doubts of the ministers were finally suppressed, and I guess they had the same idea as Wang Ruojun—with Xie Jingyu as an experienced companion, my personal safety should be guaranteed; other things will wait until the urgent need of Tubo is resolved.

Because I had ordered people to arrange everything overnight, so not long after I came down to court, I got out of the Xuanwu Gate among the two rows of guards changing shifts.The Right Guard General Jiang Tong had already led his troops to wait outside the palace wall, and Xie Jingyu was with him.Zu Miao then set off: As my closest general, he will walk with the guard of honor this time to make the play more realistic.

What?Ask me why I sneaked away from Xuanwu Gate?

The first issue is secrecy, and the second is—if you go out from the Chengtian Gate in front of Miyagi, you will 100% run into the angry elder sister, okay?

After leaving Xingjing, the first stop is Liangfu, the capital of Shannan Road, which is five hundred miles away.

Jiedu envoy Chu Hairui had already received Li Yuan's request for help, and was already waiting at the gate of the city.As soon as he saw the military flag in the distance, he immediately led his people forward and handed over a very thick new secret document.

The secret document was naturally written by Li Yu.Because the matter was urgent, he first wrote a text message, ordering the soldiers to rush to Xingjing.Later, I wrote a long military report, just waiting to be sent to the general in charge who had already set off, and another copy of the same was sent to Xingjing for my review.

But right now I am in the army, which scares Chu Hairui quite a bit. "Your Majesty?!" He said as he was about to kneel.

I am only concerned about the border situation now.Seeing this, Xie Jingyu immediately stepped forward, took the secret document from Chu Hairui, and forwarded it to me. "His Majesty."

I nodded to him and quickly flipped through the pages.There are indeed new details in it——

Not long after the text message was sent, the spies reported that they had found the traces of the Tubo scouts.Although no one was caught, the appearance of the people who had lived on the plateau for a long time was very different from that of the people in the Central Plains. Tuyuhun was extinct again, and there was no other possibility except Tubo.Li Yan originally had some doubts about whether Murong Qi was sincerely submitting, but when this happened, he hurriedly ordered to strictly guard the frontline city.

The second is other news about Tubo that Murong Qi knows.According to him, the Tubo troops were divided into four groups this time.Three frontal attacks, and the last roundabout outflank.Tuyuhun was not compared to the Central Plains, with a vast land and few people, and the capital quickly became the enemy's enemy.Moreover, both sides are good at cavalry, and Tuyuhun's advantage over our infantry disappeared instantly.With Tubo's well-planned surprise attack and the cutting off of the city's water source, Tuyuhun's defeat was predictable.

In the end, I was asked to dispatch the army for emergency treatment.Although Tubo has not yet started to attack, but to besiege the capital of Tuyuhun, the strength of Tubo must not be underestimated.And if Tubo starts to attack, the garrison of Jiannan Road itself can indeed hold out for a while; however, it is impossible to win, and it is a miracle to be able to hold on to the end.

"When was this letter delivered to you?" I asked Chu Hairui, while motioning Xie Jingyu to take the secret letter and circulate it.The other people present had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and immediately surrounded them.

"Return to Your Majesty, just two days ago." Chu Hairui hurriedly said, "I heard that the army along the way has been pulled out, so I want to hand it over to the generals in person. As for the other copy, it was sent to Beijing yesterday."

I nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is this the latest news from Jiannan?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister has already ordered that if there is any letter from Jiannan, it will be delivered directly without notification."

I couldn't help but look around.Several generals were still reading the secret letter, with serious expressions one by one.Behind them is the army. Although the military posture can be called neat, they all look tired.Marching all the way in a hurry, I am a bit too much to ride a horse, let alone walk?

"How's the situation in the Liang Mansion?" I continued to ask, thinking in my heart that if the army is pulled over, I'm afraid I'll have to rest for a while before I can perform at my best level, otherwise it would be more likely to die.

Chu Hairui was taken aback for a moment, and then understood. "Since Jiannan asked for help, I have started to deploy the army. As long as His Majesty gives an order, I can immediately rush to help Jiannan."

"Yeah." I am quite satisfied with this answer.Jiannan Dao's garrison troops are not few among the ten Dao; however, if one wants to minimize casualties as much as possible, there must be more. "How is the grain storage situation in Jiannan Road recently?"

"According to what I heard, there should be a lot. If there is a shortage, I can also deploy from Shannan."

This is what I want.If Tubo attacked, they would definitely want a quick battle, because their reserves were definitely not as sufficient as the dynasty's, and horses consumed more food than humans, so they must not be underestimated.He is strong, he is strong, it is really not easy to fight head-on, but it is easy to drag it over.

The only problem is that procrastination is not a long-term solution...

While I was thinking, several generals read the secret letter.

"Your Majesty's earlier predictions have all come true now, which is really wise and powerful." Jiang Tong said first, with admiration written all over his face.

I waved my hand, ignoring Chu Hairui who became shocked again. "I just saw it a few moments earlier than you, so I thought about it a few moments longer. If you were given the same time, I think you can think of it." After a pause, I continued to ask: "Is there someone who is familiar with the border terrain here? People? It’s best to draw a sand table.”

"Not yet, but I can order someone to make it immediately." Chu Hairui hurriedly said, turning his head and instructing the soldiers behind him, and the soldiers rode back to the city quickly after receiving the order.Then he turned to Zhen and asked: "To Yifu, the mountain road is rugged and not easy to walk. Now it is the end of You hour, will Your Majesty take a rest overnight, and leave camp for Jiannan early tomorrow morning?"

I am sure.The army camped outside the city, and Chu Hairui had already prepared enough food.I went to Jiedushi's mansion with a few generals and my own soldiers, and after a simple meal, I went to see the sand table.

Since it is a temporary sand table, you can't pursue the details, you can only look at the general terrain.The terrain of Jiannan Road is not low, but Tubo is higher, which has great advantages in theory.Fortunately, the few cities on the border were not built in the places with the largest drop, otherwise, throwing stones would be enough to drink a pot, and it would be impossible to fight.

After studying it back and forth twice, Cui Yingxian said: "I think that the tactics used by Tubo on Tuyuhun cannot be effective in this dynasty."

"Then tell it to everyone." I said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cui Ying replied. "First, there are three roads in the front and one road in the back. Outflanking and intercepting is a good strategy, but it is absolutely impossible for Tubo to go around behind us. Second, cut off the water source. The drinking water in Jiannan Road basically comes from the three rivers, and Tubo has exhausted the power of the whole country. Can't stop them."

These two facts are very obvious, and everyone nodded.The territory of Jiannan Road is long and strip-shaped, bordering Longyou on the north and snow-capped mountains stretching thousands of miles on the south.Unless Tubo has wings, it is possible to fly over the sky.Among the three rivers galloping, the terrain is steep and the current is fast.If Tubo has the ability to block them, I am afraid that they have traveled to 5000 years later.

"It's a good thing, but it's not a good thing." Jiang Tong frowned. "The scouts from Tubo have arrived, and we don't know how they want to fight."

This is indeed a fact, and it is also the main reason why everyone is worried.After all, in terms of military strength, this dynasty still has an advantage.I'm afraid that the other party will be surprised...

"Who knows about Songzan with pine nuts?" I asked thoughtfully.

Obviously only Chu Hairui can answer this question. "Songren Songzan, formerly the second prince of Tubo, is now Tubo Zanpu. He was famous for his bravery when he was young, and he was appreciated by the Tubo princes at that time. But he has always been brave and foolish, and he is underestimated by the princes. Now it seems that, This person is deeply scheming, I'm afraid everything before was just a fake..."

He said something later, but I think the first is enough.Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is really a thorn...

Next, everyone discussed a few more words.I can't figure out why, so I let them sleep first, and continue to discuss after leaving tomorrow morning.And just as I continued to observe around the sand table, Xie Jingyu left and returned. "Your Majesty," he said disapprovingly, "You have worked so hard all the way, so it's time to rest early."

I shook my head slightly, still staring at the undulating sand surface. "Know yourself and know your enemy, you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles, we really don't know enough information. Right now, I just want to fly to Yi Mansion immediately, because Murong Qi must know more."

Xie Jingyu looked solemn. "Your Majesty means that Murong Qi may not have fully explained it?"

I can't help but laugh. "Li Yu didn't fully trust him. How could he show all his cards? He will definitely not confess until he is completely safe."

"That's not true..." Xie Jingyu seemed to have some opinions, but in the end he said: "It's also human nature."

I couldn't help but stare at him, thinking that you would be the only person in the world who came to ask for my trust after cutting off my back. "You stayed here just to let me rest earlier?"

"Indeed." Xie Jingyu nodded seriously. "In addition, the army will soon arrive in Anrong City. I would like to implore Your Majesty, no matter what happens, please take your own safety as the first priority."

The closer we get to Jiannan, the heavier the atmosphere that could be dangerous at any moment, and I didn't disagree with him. "I know." I promised, and said again: "With my magic shot, do you think anyone can easily hurt me?"

Hearing this, Xie Jingyu finally showed his first smile in recent days. "If it wasn't for His Majesty's sharp shot, does Your Majesty think that the minister would approve of His Majesty's personal risk?"

Yo, you're good at it, and you're even in a fight with me?

As soon as I raise my eyebrows, I will discuss my strength with him.But at this juncture, there was an urgent report all the way outside.I and Xie Jingyu looked at each other, and pushed the door back and forth to go out.After a while, the messenger rushed in——

Sure enough, it was Li Yu's handwriting.Tubo squads have appeared in several cities, and it is estimated that the army will arrive soon.
