Li Xun said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, Liu Xiangguo, I, Li Xun, will never deserter unless absolutely necessary."

Liu Zhigu looked at Li Xun and saw sincerity in his eyes. These were definitely sincere words. Now that the situation has deteriorated to this point, if you are not careful, you will end up in despair. Li Xun can give such a promise,

It is already extremely rare and valuable.

"Li Xun, what are your next plans?"

Liu Zhigu asked aloud. He wanted to know Li Xun's next military action. Since he had already given it to Chengruo and would not give up easily, what would Li Xun do next?

Now Shanzhou is the last battlefield in the entire Longyou North Road. All the main forces of Tubo, 150,000 troops, gathered there and attacked the city day and night. Although Li Xun won a victory and regained Langzhou, he only had more than 20,000 troops in his hands.

Should the army still take the initiative to attack?

Li Xun smiled: "I'm just a mediocre person. If there is anything I can do, I'd better let smart people show me a clear path."

While the two were talking, Jiang Daxiong came in and said loudly: "Boss, Li Cunxiao and the others are back."

Li Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and laughed loudly and said: "Big Xiong, please inform the officers above the rank of General Zhonglang to come here to discuss matters."

Subsequently, more than 20 generals, including lieutenant generals and above, gathered in the lobby of the Governor's Mansion to discuss matters.

"Li Cunxiao, what's going on over there?"

Li Xun looked at Li Cunxiao and asked.

Li Cunxiao stood up and told what happened.

With one thousand cavalry, they defeated the opponent's 30,000 infantry and killed more than 6,000 enemy people?

After listening to Li Cunxiao's description, many of the generals present exclaimed and looked at him with admiration and envy. This is a great achievement.

Li Xun laughed loudly, stretched out his thumb, and praised: "Li Cunxiao, you really gave me a big surprise!"

Li Cunxiao did give Li Xun a big surprise. In such a dangerous situation, Li Cunxiao's victory will not have a big impact on the entire battle. Let's not mention it for now, but Li Xun's victory here, Li Cunxiao's victory, and

Hu Xian's victories, one victory after another, only took one night, but they gave everyone a great outlet for their hesitation, fear, and despair, greatly inspired everyone's confidence, and also greatly improved them.

Improved the morale of the armed forces.

Li Cunxiao scratched his head in embarrassment: "The situation was dangerous at that time, so I didn't think too much about it. I just did it because of my bravery. Now that I think about it, I'm actually a little scared."

Li Xun waved his hand, praised Li Cunxiao for a few words, and then asked him to sit down.

Then, Li Xun looked at Shan Qiu, because his face was still heavy, and asked: "Brother Shan, you don't seem very happy about Li Cunxiao's big victory, why?"

"Li Cunxiao won the battle, how could I be unhappy, just"

Shan Qiu shook his head and said: "The 10,000 main cavalry did not suffer any losses, they still pose a great threat to us."

Zhao Wei sat next to him, patted Shanqiu on the shoulder, and chuckled: "One thousand breaking tens of thousands is already a miracle. It has greatly slowed down Tibet's advance and given us some breathing time."

Everyone was talking quietly there in twos and threes.

Li Xun glanced at everyone, then looked at Sima Tu, and saw that he had his head slightly lowered, with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Sima Tu, what do you think?"

Sima Tu shook his head gently: "Master, let me think about it."

Li Xun nodded and said no more.

Liu Zhigu looked at the people whispering below, frowned slightly, turned to Li Xun and said: "General Li, how can you discuss things with such a chaos?"

Li Xun smiled and said: "I, Li Xun, am not the kind of person who is arbitrary, nor do I have that ability. So, before each discussion, I usually don't get to the topic immediately. I just start the conversation and let everyone talk to each other and exchange ideas."

By exchanging opinions, everyone will feel relaxed and relaxed, so they can dare to speak boldly."

Liu Zhigu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Li Xun's speech and thinking patterns were unexpected in the army. I really don't know whether it is good or bad for him to lead the troops like this.

After waiting for a moment, Li Xun coughed twice: "Everyone, please be quiet."

Everyone stopped discussing and looked at Li Xun.

Li Xun glanced at Hou Quan, who immediately stood up, clasped his fists and saluted everyone, and then said: "Tubo launched the Longyou War this time, with a total force of nearly 300,000, 210,000 infantry, and more than 80,000

The cavalry, of which 30,000 are from the Qiu Bai tribe. According to the comprehensive information compiled by the prisoners and our side, Tubo now has 30,000 troops stationed in Liangzhou and Prefecture respectively. The follow-up army of 50,000 that came from Duanlong Fort was defeated by General Li Cunxiao.

It takes a certain amount of time to organize. In tonight's battle, more than 15,000 enemies were killed and captured. In addition to the casualties in the early siege, and the 50,000 soldiers resting in the direction of the state, the Tibetan military strength in Shanzhou should be around ten.

"About ten thousand"

Hou Quan is in charge of the scout camp, and he is naturally responsible for information matters. He has already found out the information about the battlefield in Langzhou, and the information about Tubo in Zhouzhou and Shanzhou was told to him by Hu Xian.

By summing up, we finally have a rough idea of ​​the current situation and situation on the battlefield.

After Hou Quan finished speaking, he bowed his hands to Li Xun and then returned to his seat.

Li Xun glanced at everyone, his face was serious, and he said in a deep voice: "You all already know the current situation. If you have any opinions, please tell me."

Everyone was deep in thought. Some of what Hou Quan just said was known to them, and some they didn't know.

Lei Wanhai was the first to speak out: "Commander, of the 50,000 Tibetan soldiers in the direction of Duanlongbao, 30,000 infantry were defeated. It may take some time to adjust and recover, but the 10,000 cavalry and those blocking the way to Xiaolongbao were defeated.

The 10,000 infantrymen on Guxian Road did not suffer any losses. In other words, they still have 20,000 soldiers who can immediately go into battle. The news about Langzhou should have been passed on. Will they march into Langzhou?

, constraining us?"

Zhao Zhang agreed: "I think it is possible. Tubo has a hundred thousand troops in Shanzhou. How can we allow others to sleep soundly beside the couch? We won two great victories, killed tens of thousands of enemies, and retook Langzhou, and the entire west of Longyou North Road

, Tubo's military power has been severely hit. Our existence has posed a very big threat to Shanzhou, so no matter what the purpose, they will immediately organize troops to attack us. We want to understand this truth.

I’m afraid it’s conceivable, so I think Lei Wanhai’s worries are entirely possible to come true.”

Shan Qiu nodded and said: "Longzhou is in an important position. To the east, it can threaten Shanzhou, and to the west, it points directly to Duanlong Fort, which is the military chokepoint. Therefore, Li Cunxiao and Zhao Zhang are right. Tubo has no regard for Langzhou."
