In the open terrain, tens of thousands of troops lined up waiting for the enemy.

What is important about the strength of the three armies? There are many aspects, but perhaps the most important one is the chief general of the three armies.

In the early days of the founding of the Jin Dynasty, many legal systems continued from the previous dynasty. The military legal system was extremely harsh and harsh. The generals died in battle, and the soldiers were not ignored. All officers above the rank of captain were executed. This was not only to protect the generals, but also to ensure the safety of the army.

Fighting spirit, so during that period, as long as the general dared to fight to the death, the people below would also risk their lives to fight. If they didn't fight, they wouldn't survive. If the general died, they wouldn't survive.

However, with the progress of history and the relative improvement of the legal system, this system was gradually abolished, but it was not completely. Even now, the Lord will die in battle. If he wins, he can redeem his sins. If he loses, many people will also have to

was severely punished.

A prestigious and popular general is the soul of the entire army. If such a figure dies in battle, it will be a very heavy blow to an army. With such weight, Li Xun can count.

There was too much nonsense, and it went too far.

Li Xun's martial arts skills were mediocre. Shan Qiu and others would not agree if he was asked to charge into the battle. Li Xun himself would not do such a stupid thing, so he should stay at the back of the army.

"Let me tell you, Lao Dan, if we have a formation here so openly, will the other side come to force us?"

Li Xun asked Shan Qiu beside him, looking a little worried. If the other party avoids fighting, then it will really be a waste of effort. There is no way out.

Shan Qiu said in a deep voice: "There are few of us, why don't you come?"

Sima Tu said quietly: "My lord, don't worry. The barbarians have always been brave and fierce. Now they have more people and we have fewer people. How can we give up the temptation of this skill easily?"

Li Xun thought for a moment, nodded, and said no more.

Li Xun only placed 22,000 infantry here, and the remaining 8,000 cavalry, including 1,000 cavalry, led by Li Cunxiao, went southeast, pretending to be suspicious, and pretending to have more than 10,000 troops. This strategy was proposed by Li Cunxiao himself.

, appreciated by Sima Tu and Shan Qiu, Li Xun accepted the opinions and agreed to Li Cunxiao's suggestion.

The other 7,000 cavalry were led by Yuan He and Zhao Wei, with half each leading an ambush five miles away.

In fact, Li Xun's actions and the Tibetan scouts were constantly monitoring Li Xun's actions.

However, Li Xun was on guard. Before the army came out, he first sent out two thousand cavalry to sweep and clean up the surrounding area. Then, Li Cunxiao's one thousand cavalry came out first, followed by Li Xun's large army.

Go out, and all the cavalry lead their horses. Halfway through, they divide their troops and leave.

The two armies were getting closer and closer, and the distance between them was already less than twenty miles.

"Brother, something is wrong. The other party seems to know that we are coming."

De'an said with some worry that the scouts sent out have returned. There are more than 200 people, but only less than 80 have returned, and more than half of them have been lost.

Dezui sneered: "It's been almost a day since Langzhou City was conquered by us. It's not surprising that they got the news."

De'an said softly: "In this case, we might as well retreat to Langzhou City and wait for work."

Dezu glanced at De'an coldly and said with great displeasure: "If you are afraid of death, you can go back."

Dean's face turned red and he shouted loudly: "In any war, when will I fall behind with you?"

Dezu raised his head and laughed loudly, patting De'an on the shoulder: "Don't be angry, I was just joking with you. The war is coming, you should keep a calm mind."

De'an is also a fierce general with a violent personality. In the entire Qiubai clan, he only fears and obeys his eldest brother Dezu.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Dezui sneered: "The Han people are all sheep. If there are too many, they are just a group of sheep. There are only 20,000 infantrymen, so why should we be afraid..."

The scouts brought back two pieces of news.

First, the 30,000 Jin troops did not retreat or wait for death, but took the initiative to attack.

The Jin army was divided into two groups, with the cavalry heading toward the southeast. The momentum was huge and there were many flags. The number should be about 10,000. The purpose was very clear: to use elite cavalry to block the 50,000 Tibetan army in the southeast.

Second, with more than 20,000 infantry as the main force, they took the initiative to go to Langzhou to seek a decisive battle.

De Zui could see through the Jin army's military plan at a glance. They were placing all their treasures on themselves, intending to settle the issue in one battle and reverse the unfavorable situation. As long as they defeated themselves, they could regain Langzhou and the two sides of Shanzhou.

With ten thousand trapped troops, they were able to escape and retreat to Xiaogu County. Several large armies gathered. With over sixty thousand troops, Longyou North Road may have no hope, but it is still possible to defend the seven states in the west of Longyou.

Gewa's order to Dezu was to hold back the 30,000 Jin troops. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. Do not engage in a decisive battle with them, but hold on until the 50,000 follow-up reinforcements from Duanlongbao arrive.

They attacked and defeated the Jin army, then pressed against Xiaogu County, and directly entered the western part of Longyou. From then on, the entire Longyou Road fell under the control of Tubo.

This military arrangement is extremely correct.

However, Dezu was not prepared to implement it, or in other words, he was very dissatisfied with Gewa.

After the city of Liangzhou was destroyed, Gewa originally promised to give the Qiubai tribe 30,000 women and an equal number of male slaves in their prime. However, due to the collective resistance and protests of the Tibetan generals, Gewa had no choice but to divide the interests of the Qiubai tribe in order to win over people.

Only 10,000 women and 20,000 mature slaves were given to him. Dezu was extremely dissatisfied with this. In his opinion, he led 10,000 tribesmen, took great risks, used himself as bait, rushed into Liangzhou City, and succeeded.

Attracting a large number of Jin troops, the 10,000 tribesmen suffered heavy casualties, more than half of whom were killed.

Gewa put the overall situation first, gave many reasons, and promised huge profits. Only then did Dezu barely suppress the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart.

Later, Gewa asked Dezu to lead the army to attack Langzhou. Dezu originally brought 30,000 Qiubai soldiers. In the battle of Liangzhou, there were 5,000 casualties and 25,000 more. Dezu meant to bring his own troops

Twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses attacked Langzhou, but Gewa vetoed it and only allowed him to bring 10,000 Qiubai soldiers from his own tribe. Then he sent a Tubo general to command more than 13,000 Tubo soldiers, with Dezu as the main general.

The Tubo general served as deputy general and jointly attacked Langzhou.

Dezu was very reluctant to this. The joining of Tibetan soldiers meant that after the capture of Langzhou, the interests would be divided.

Langzhou has always been a place to defend against Tibet and the seven states in the west of Longyou. It was originally occupied by the Dashi Empire and was a frontline position. The land was small and the people were small. There were only 40,000 to 50,000 people in the whole state. If there was such a small amount of clear soup and little water, Gewa would bite it.

Naturally, Dezui was unwilling to take the last bite, but there was no way. The overall situation was in Gewa's hands, and Gewa gave Dezui an extremely bright prospect, or in other words, he drew a huge blueprint for Dezui, and the western part of Longyou
