Tang Dynasty Never Night

Li Xianyao's sacrifice to the sky was a big deal, and Zheng Qi and the others who were discussing how to attack him were stunned for a moment. The three of them looked at each other for a long time before Li Jinxing asked: "If the marshal wants to sacrifice to the sky, how can we still use it?" fight?"

Not to mention Li Jinxing, even Gao Kan felt that they should just wait for the aftermath. Didn't you see what happened to the Tubo people who attacked Liuzhou and the pirates who offended King Shou?

Zheng Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Get ready with both hands."

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing thought so too, even if they don't attack the city, they still have to guard against the other side's sneak attack.At this time Li Xian came back suddenly, Zheng Qi looked at him strangely and asked, "Isn't the king going to sacrifice?"

"Oh, let them prepare. I didn't have all the things before I improvised. It might take two or three days. I came here to ask Director Gao and Director Li if they can lead the troops to Gangdise?"

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing were stunned for a moment and looked at Li Xian with some hesitation. They were not at all surprised that Li Xian asked them to go to Gangdise. Mansong Manzan had retreated to Gangdise with a large number of people before, but... Do you need to push so hard?

Li Xian knew what they were thinking by looking at their expressions, and couldn't help but sneer and said: "Before Mansong Manzan handed in the letter of surrender, the large area that Datang worked so hard to conquer was returned to him. , I don’t want to return it this time, and he doesn’t need to write the letter of surrender, anyway, he can be regarded as a hero, and it’s too ugly to always surrender.”

Li Xian had expressed before that he did not want to accept Mansong Mangzan's surrender, but Gao Kan and Li Jinxing didn't take it seriously at that time, they only said this when Li Lun was captured and Li Xian was in a hurry, now Li Xian I said it again, and not only said it but also put it into action.

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing have no opinion, even if they don't have many soldiers, they can use less to more with tiger squat guns and phosphorus bombs, but they are more worried that if they leave with troops, will there be any soldiers here? question?After all, Tubo still has [-] troops guarding here.

Li Xian waved his hands as if he knew their worries and said, "Don't worry, after three days, all the supplies for the sacrifice should be found, not to mention that I still have a lot of phosphorous powder on hand, don't worry, oh, yes, I I also sent a letter to Liu Rengui asking him to bring troops over."

Although Zheng Qi brought troops here to alleviate the dilemma of Li Xian's lack of soldiers and horses, it is still not enough to fight against Tubo. That's why Li Xian made the improved version of the tiger squatting cannon before, in order to save money Losing a little manpower, it seems that the effect of the improved tiger crouching gun is surprisingly good.

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing are also a little eager to try. The credit for being able to defeat Tubo is not comparable to defeating Silla.

Seeing that Gao Kan and Li Jinxing agreed, Li Xian hesitated and wanted to give some instructions, but he was afraid that Zheng Qi would teach him a lesson after hearing this, and he would suffocate himself to death.

Seeing his expression, Zheng Qi had something to say, so he asked helplessly, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say to the two stewards?"

In fact, it is not appropriate to say this in his capacity. After all, he is probably the one with the lowest rank here, but according to the biological chain... probably he is the one with the highest rank.

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing didn't speak, they just looked at Li Xian wondering what His Royal Highness was going to do.Li Xian took a deep breath and said, "Then...what, I don't think...it's not a big deal to lose a few people in the flames of war, right?"

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing realized it in an instant, and Gao Kan asked directly: "Who do you want to disappear?"

Li Xian glanced at Zheng Qi, swallowed and said, "I think... the royal family of Tubo can disappear for a while." After thinking about it, he added: "The princess and the clan girls don't need to disappear."

It's not good to kill them all, some people must be kept.After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zheng Qi again, Zheng Qi was a little angry, but he didn't show it on his face, he just said: "Most people in Tubo are brave and courageous, even if women are not defeated, it's a disaster to stay."

What the Tubo princess Liu Zhaoyi did back then was not something that ordinary women could do. Of course, they couldn't drive out all the Tubo people, but the royal family couldn't stay.It's just... Zheng Qi glanced at Li Xian and frowned slightly. After returning home, he wanted Li Xian to cultivate himself. Too much hostility is not a good thing after all. If Li Xian changed his temper in the last battle, it would be troublesome. It's big.

Li Xian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Zheng Qi also agreed, and said directly: "Then let the royal family disappear."

Gao Kan and Li Jinxing took the orders and left, Li Xian turned to Zheng Qi and asked, "You can go to my place tonight, I don't understand some parts of the military book I read two days ago."

Zheng Qi is the Fu of Shou Wang, so Li Xian is very upright and ready to bring people into his big tent, even if he can't do it, there will always be something else to do in the end. It may not be obvious that he has been fighting separately before, but now The battle against Tubo was about to settle, and Li Xian felt a little itchy in his heart.

Zheng Qi also wanted to talk to him, so he agreed, and Li Xian pulled Zheng Qi back to the big tent with a smile, and then...then the half-hour-long education began.

In the end, when Zheng Qi finished his education, Li Xian lost all thoughts, because Zheng Qi still had to patrol the camp, so he went out first, and Li Xian sat there staring at the oil lamp in a daze, until Zheng Qi came back and found that he had gone out What is Li Xian's posture, what posture is he still in now, he can't help but reflect on whether he said too much?

"What are you thinking? So preoccupied?" Zheng Qi walked over to touch Li Xian's face, and leaned over to kiss him by the way.

Li Xian came back to his senses and stared at the oil lamp for a long time. His eyes shifted to other places and he was still a little dazzled. He closed his eyes for a while and said: "It's okay, isn't this just waiting for you?" ?”

Zheng Qi didn't ask any more questions, just held his hand and said, "Okay, it's getting late, you still have to sacrifice in three days, so you should keep your spirits up."

Even the simplified version of the sacrifice is not so easy. Li Xian may only be able to wear armor when he comes out without a dress. Although the dress is also heavy, it is definitely not comparable to the armor. Tired enough, he hasn't had a good rest these days, so he should take advantage of these two days to recuperate.

Li Xian had just been pulled up by Zheng Qi, but his feet softened and he sat down again: "Wait...wait...the legs are numb."

It would be strange if the legs didn't feel numb after sitting in this posture for a long time. Li Xian rarely sat like this for a long time. When talking to him with a serious face, he couldn't help but use this sitting posture to show that he attached great importance to it, and then...it was a tragedy.

Zheng Qi couldn't help sighing, bent down, carried him to the bed, and stretched out his hands to help Li Xian massage his calf. While massaging, he hesitated and said, "After this time...don't go out again."

Li Xian put his arms around Zheng Qi's neck and didn't let go: "I told you I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately in the future, what are you afraid of?"

Zheng Qi shook his head: "You are somewhat impulsive, and sometimes fighting may not be able to solve the problem."

Zheng Qi also thought about it just now, he felt that Li Xian must not be a bloodthirsty person, but just young and energetic, this kind of happy and enmity method is not suitable for use on the battlefield, this time Li Xian was able to defeat Tubo, The most important thing is that the Tang Dynasty's national treasury is full now, and the court does not dare to withhold military expenditures from King Shou, otherwise...the trouble will be serious. Of course, the improved version of the tiger crouching gun is also an important factor.

It doesn't go so smoothly every time. With Li Xian's temperament, Zheng Qi is really worried that he will get into trouble regardless of his anger. What's more...he has also seen the power of phosphorus bombs. A magical weapon is indeed very good, but if it is used too much, it will be against the harmony of heaven. It is too cruel to kill people without nodding their heads.

Zheng Qi was worried that Li Xian would be forced to make something like this, which would not be good for Li Xian. He was always worried about Li Xian's health, and he was afraid that if he killed too many people on the battlefield, it would affect Li Xian's lifespan , not to mention the silence on the battlefield, Li Lun was arrested this time, what if?

So no matter what, he has to stop Li Xian in the future. Fortunately, he can more or less guess that Li Zhi's release of Li Xian and Li Lun is just to give them a chance to exercise and give them some military merit. Obviously, it can be said that the outstanding military exploits have the credit for this expedition, and it will be fine if they don't come out in the future.

Although Zheng Qi has always been restrained, Li Xian finally noticed his worry, he smiled and said: "I think too much, I guess daddy won't dare to let me out next time."

Zheng Qi thought for a moment, didn't he? Once released, a country would be wiped out, and then released again... This is the rhythm that will harm the surrounding area of ​​Datang enough?

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Director Gao and Director Li will lead the soldiers away tomorrow, I think there is no need to tear down the tents of those soldiers."

"En?" Li Xian was a little surprised: "Why?"

"The two supervisors, Gao and Li, are going to make a surprise attack, so it's better for us to simply pretend that no one left, and let them leave with a spare tent."

Li Xian nodded resolutely. His idea was that this would make Gangdise underestimate the enemy, while Zheng Qi was afraid that the news of Gao Kan and Li Jinxing's departure would be known by the generals in the city. It's troublesome enough.

The next night, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing led the troops away quietly, and Li Xian began to bathe and fast to prepare for sacrifices, but before Gao Kan and Li Jinxing sent them away, he discussed with these few, and felt that in order to let the logic Relax your vigilance over there, let Zheng Qi lead troops to attack the nearby towns in the daytime the next day.

Zheng Qi naturally disagreed, but Li Xian was not afraid at all: "Don't worry, you should take less tents and go on a quick march and surprise attack. As many as you can destroy within three days, you will occupy them. Just come back quickly afterwards, they can't react in such a short time."

Zheng Qi thinks about it too, what about a war? What is false is what is real? What is true is what is false. Three days should not cause too much trouble, not to mention that he can also cover Gao Kan and Li Jinxing when he leads troops to make a surprise attack. Hit Gangdise by surprise.

Just about how many people to bring, he and Li Xian had a bit of a dispute. Li Xian wanted him to take more people away, but Zheng Qi insisted on hiding and promised to keep some people.No way, who made them less crowded?Now this batch of soldiers is only [-] at full count. Now that Gao Kan and Li Jinxing have left with [-] soldiers, they only have [-] left. The news from Liu Rengui's side has not yet come. If he fails to come, if he takes a little away, then the camp will really be empty.

What if something really goes wrong?Later, it was Li Xian who persuaded him. Li Xian didn't have him. There are tiger crouching cannons here. With these big guys, even if the gates of Luoxie City are opened, they are not his opponents. Too much is useless.

In the end, Zheng Qi had no choice but to leave with [-] soldiers and horses, leaving Li Xian with [-] soldiers and horses.Speaking of which, Li Xian had never seen him dispatching troops and generals. He had no chance before, but this time it was a pity that he couldn't follow him. He still had to prepare sacrifices.

There is basically no pressure on Zheng Qi's side. His ability to lead troops is really no less than that of Gao Kan and Li Jinxing. Under his leadership, some small towns around have been almost wiped out. Those who don't resist can leave a note Fate, sorry for those who resisted.

However, there are no small towns near Luoxie City. The prosperity of Tubo is not as good as that of Tang Dynasty, but there are many villages and towns around it.The Tubo people in these villages and towns are also poor people, and they are not as tough as the people in the small town before. Basically, Zheng Qi did not need much effort to attack the city all the way, and it was very smooth.

It's just that he went well, but Li Xian didn't. No one thought that the next night, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing had just led the people away, and the camp was raided.

Fuck!Is there a spy?

This was Li Xian's first reaction. If there were no spies, how could the other party be so accurate?Now that Zheng Qi is away with his troops, Gao Kan and Li Jinxing have also left. Fortunately, they are more mature and prudent. Before leaving, they have arranged patrol camps and scouts to take turns to keep an eye on them at twelve hours a day. Only then did they discover the traces of the Tubo people. Otherwise, it is estimated that Li Xian will not find out that they have been attacked until they reach the camp.

After the initial panic, Li Xian calmed down quickly, summoned some officers to discuss, and called the scout who discovered the enemy's situation to ask: "How far are the Tubo people from us?"

The scout stood in the tent in black and said nervously, "It's less than twenty miles away."

This scout was born with a pair of sharp eyes and can see things at night. In addition, he is the leader of the scout team and has a telescope in his hand, so he quickly spotted the Tubo people, and the Tubo people didn't know that they had been discovered. .

Twenty miles away, it shouldn't be too late for a sneak attack. Li Xian thought for a while and said, "You continue to monitor, and report back when you're still ten miles away."

After the scouts retreated, Li Xian rubbed his chin and said, "Since they like sneak attacks, let's give them a surprise too. Send an order to bury gunpowder packs and phosphorus bombs in the ground of the camp."

Since the other party likes to sneak attack Li Xian, he decided to let them see the minefields, but he didn't have that many gunpowder packs, so he only buried the tents in the northwest and the middle including Li Xian's camp, and the outer ones were not buried. , while Tang Jun ambushed on the outside of the camp, and the opponent came to attack from behind them, that is, from the northwest direction, so Li Xian directly ordered people to ambush in the southeast.

The leader of the team was Tubo Zuoru's lieutenant-general Gelsolang. This man used troops strangely. He was always good at sneak attacks and cautious. He marched very fast before, but he slowed down when he was five miles away from the camp. Afraid of being discovered by the Tang army, the sneak attack brought not many soldiers and horses, a total of only 2000 people, and the opponent's camp had no fewer than [-] soldiers and horses. To be honest, he was betting his life on this trip.

It's just that there are quite a few cunning people under Li Xian. Although gunpowder was buried in the middle, it didn't delay us from making false appearances. After falling asleep, Geersolang observed for a long time but did not find that Li Xian and the others had already evacuated everyone from the camp, and finally gritted his teeth decisively and decided to bring people in for a sneak attack.

Of course, not everyone went in at once. He carefully sent forwards to scout the way.At this time, Li Xian knew their movements very well. There was a scout team that could see at night, coupled with binoculars, they were in control of the opponent's every move.

When Li Xian saw that the forward had entered the camp, he immediately asked the two school captains to lead people to outflank them from both sides and deal with some people first, and then he led his soldiers and horses to steal Gelsorang's back route.

Gelsolang brought too few people. Li Xian felt that he could eat them even without laying down minefields, but he would lose as little as possible.

Gelsolang's people were going crazy with fright when they found Li Xian appearing behind them. They couldn't figure out how Tang Jun knew their movements?

At that moment, Geersolang's thought was similar to that of Li Xian—could there be a spy?Even if Gelsolang was killed, he would never have guessed that he was a capable man who lost to Datang.

It's just that he didn't have time to think too much. Li Xian blocked all his escape routes. The only way left was to the southeast. Geersolang knew there was probably a trap when he thought about it, but he didn't find anything else. Choice, how can 2000 people fight against tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?You can only take people first.

At that time, Geersolang thought that even if the other party put down the trap, they might not be left behind if they were careful. He also knew that Tang Jun had gunpowder in his hands, but it was rare, and Tang Jun didn't use it often, so Geersolang still hugged it. With a certain fluke mentality.

It's true that Li Xian doesn't have much gunpowder, but he has phosphorus bombs in his hand. This is a magic weapon for group attack. Anyway, as a result of Geersolang running southeast, none of the 2000 people escaped, and all of them stayed behind. Into the camp of the Tang army.

After the sneak attack was resolved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, only Li Xian was not very happy, and in the early morning of the third day, when Zheng Qi returned with his troops, he was almost frightened to death when he saw the mess where the original camp was. He ran all the way to find Li Xian, and was relieved to find that Li Xian was fine.

When Li Xian saw Zheng Qi, he was very depressed and said: "I thought the other party brought a lot of people in a surprise attack. If I knew it, I wouldn't have used gunpowder and destroyed a lot of things." That's right, no matter how much you can see at night, you can't see the number of people accurately.

Zheng Qi was a little dumbfounded, thinking that you should be thankful if you didn't suffer.It's just that he also wondered in his heart, is there really a spy?There is such a thing that the two of them are not at ease. They were attacked by surprise. The timing is just right. It is normal to suspect that there is a spy, so there is no need to hide it and send someone to investigate it.

It's just that in the end, although many soldiers who violated discipline were found, no Tubo spies were found.

Li Xian said with a miraculous expression: "Could it be a coincidence? This is...too..."

Zheng Qi felt relieved: "It's probably a coincidence, it's about to be an auspicious time, and it's time for you to prepare."

After hearing this, Li Xian put the matter aside, turned around to take a bath and change clothes, and prepared to go to sacrifice.

The sacrificial table was set up, and the sacrificial text was written—no doubt, it was Zheng Qi’s handwriting. If Zheng Qi hadn’t caught the knife, Li Xian would have to force himself to write it again, but What he wrote may not be able to be sacrificed within three days.

In the early morning of the day, Li Xian was still wearing a silver armor and red cloak, followed by Zheng Qi and other officers, walking towards the altar step by step, and a neat army stood below.

To be honest, it was the first time to offer sacrifices near the barracks, not to mention the soldiers in the barracks, even the military officers who had experienced battles had never seen it before, and thanks to the uneven terrain on the Tubo side, they could still find a small Mounds, otherwise, sacrifices can only be made on flat ground.

Li Xian has almost memorized the formal sacrificial process, and the simplified version is even easier to come by. When Zheng Qi was writing the sacrificial text, he asked him if he wanted to add some content such as praying for rain, but Li Xian directly told him not to write it. For those, just write that God blesses Datang to be victorious.

Zheng Qi didn't care and wrote it directly. Originally, he thought that Li Xian would not have any magical weather conditions if he didn't write about it. In the end, he felt that he probably underestimated Li Xian's skill.

After Li Xian finished reading the sacrificial text and burned it, a golden light shot out from the furnace and stagnated in mid-air, gradually forming the appearance of a phoenix.Afterwards, the phoenix formed by golden light circled around Li Xian, rushed into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.

Li Xian: =口=!
