Jiaosiluo and Renqin Sangbo both knew that Tubo would take time, and Zhao Zhen, who was far north of the Song Dynasty, also knew this. Now Jiaosiluo has gained control of Tubo, and his dynasty should have begun to be built. In the early stages when a dynasty had unstable foundation, it was actually the best to annihilate, but it was also the most tenacious.

Tubo is different from the Han Dynasty. They have experienced turmoil and have an instinctive unity and support for the current situation of the dynasty. It is like a child who has lost his mother. Suddenly one day he has a mother again, and he will definitely hug him tightly and never let go.

The same is true for later countries. When the founding of the People's Republic of China was just now, almost everyone, whether the people or those in power, were defending the newly established country with flesh and blood and life.

Countless people went on one after another, millions of people sacrificed their lives for it, and finally established themselves in the world with two wars.

All of this was created by the strong belief in my heart, which was also the reason why Zhao Zhen was unwilling to force Jiao Siluo and was unwilling to force Tubo too much.

What is the best policy to treat Tubo? What is the best way to treat Tubo? Zhao Zhen has been exploring all the serfs and uniting most people. This is the best way Zhao Zhen can think of. Of course, if he can gather all the nobles, it is also a good way. Unfortunately... the nobles in Tubo are too cunning and shrewd, and it is not easy to control.

It is very troublesome to meet smart people, just like Renqin Sangbo. Although he asked for help from the Song Dynasty, his ultimate goal was to resist the Song Dynasty. This is a bit funny, but he did.

Moreover, his lobbying was "best-selling" in the Song Dynasty. If Zhao Zhen had not expressed his opposition to Renqin Sangbo, he might have succeeded.

Because he was playing a "smart man" game, everyone thought he was a smart man from the beginning of the game, so he was born close to various means and conspiracies.

Smart people are born with means and conspiracies, which has become the cognition of the Song Dynasty. It seems that if you don’t play with these things, you will be sorry for yourself for being a winner for ten years.

Zhao Zhen hates this idea very much, and even more hates the disastrous consequences of this idea. There is no doubt that Liu Huan is such a person.

He gave the Tubo people hope, and he forced Jiao Siluo to push him to Tubo early on. Now Tubo is uniting with amazing degrees, becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

After all, Zhong Shiheng did not intercept Zhong Yan before he was released. Zhong Yan led an army of 30,000 to attack Qingtang, and the food and supplies they brought were only for the army to eat for half a month.

What made Zhao Zhen even more uneasy was that there was no news about Zhong Yan on Ningxia Road. Thirty thousand troops went to war. What Zhong Yan said to the logistics officials reached Zhao Zhen. Looking at the words "Just eat from the enemy", Zhao Zhen wanted to chop Zhong Yan's head immediately.

The source of all his confidence was just a few deductions on the sand map. This was just a talk on paper and it would not work at all.

There is one of the most fatal climate issues on the Tubo Plateau, or he did not consider them enough.

Zhao Zhen could guess Zhong Yan's idea, and he planned to lead his army to attack Qingtang and use the food and supplies of the Qingtang people for his own use. Can he think of such a simple method that Qingtang people could not think of?

Zhao Zhen could even imagine that once the Song army seized Qingtang's city, they would gain nothing. Qingtang people could strengthen their walls and clear the fields, or even give up the land they lived in for generations and evacuate them. After all, their enemies were no longer enemies...

How long can the Song army last in this situation?

I couldn't hold on for half a month because this food also included the distance and time they needed to withdraw their troops.

The 30,000 troops are all elites of the Western Army. Once the losses are lost, the consequences are unimaginable. Zhao Zhen believes that Zhong Yan is not so stupid. Once he appears to be in trouble with the Song Dynasty, he will definitely evacuate as soon as possible.

But Zhao Zhen was not worried about this, but was he worried that the Qingtang people would let him leave?

I can only hope that Zhong Shiheng will lead the army and the baggage to arrive in time, so that it can help Zhong Yan and reduce the 30,000 elite troops of the Western Army.

The reason why the news did not reach the Shendu City was because the entire Qingtang had been blocked. Although Jiao Siluo was not in Qingtang, An Ziluo could stand alone. He was a general in Jiao Siluo, had rich combat experience and knew the Song army!

When Zhong Yan had just entered Qingtang, he ordered the blockade of the important road between Qingtang and the Song Dynasty. Zhong Yan led a large army to invade and capture important passes.

There is a snow-capped mountain between Ningxia Road and Qingtang, which is part of the Qilian Mountains. There is no other way to go except for a few dangerous passes.

Although Yuxue Pass was dangerous, under the explosives of the Song army, it quickly closed the door and defended the dead. Zhong Yan left behind 800 soldiers and continued to attack. He knew his shortcomings, so he had to attack Qingtang with the fastest and most troops.

Once he stabilized, he could gain a foothold, but what he didn't know was that An Ziluo paid a huge price to deal with the Song Dynasty. There were many soldiers stationed in Yuxue Pass. He knew that the plan should be realistic, otherwise he would not be able to deceive a general like Zhong Yan.

Nearly two thousand Qingtang warriors were defeated by the Song army, and they were seriously injured... But this was not important. Five thousand people ambushed in the snowy mountains captured Yuxue Pass as fast as possible after Zhong Yan left, and eight hundred Song troops died.

Yuxueguan fell into Qingtang's hands again without knowing it.

Zhong Yan looked at Zong Gecheng in front of him and trembled with excitement, and even more so with the Western Army soldiers behind him. This was when they made achievements.

After the war with Seljuk in India ended, the Song army probably wouldn't have any wars for many years. There are not many opportunities at present, but I dare not miss it.

If they can conquer Qingtang, they will reap supreme honors and military merits, and everyone in the entire army is very clear about this.

"Zhong Shuai, it's almost done now. Although Zong Gecheng has blue bricks wrapped around it, it's still rammed earth. Last night, the scout came to report that there was no glutinous rice paste on the city wall. The explosives could be broken, but the city gate was a little troublesome. The method of hanging the door was used, and there were mechanical crossbows in the door hole......"

The marching Sima Zhang Shaowen was a member of the Military Academy. Although he was a military Academy with cultural resources, he was not a military general after all. It was more than enough to be a marching Sima.

Zhong Yan smiled: "It seems that the people of Qingtang also know that our Song army is good at siegeing the city and have put a lot of effort into the city defense. Without any obstacles, they will use gunpowder to break the city. If the cavalry in Qingtang dares to come, they will let them taste the power of the musket. This time I asked for it from Zhang Yu, the Ningxia Road pacifier. This time, the musket is equipped with Ningxia Road, but he has no intention to bring it all to me."
