Chapter 1690 I am really old
When Luo Xi received the news, Hou Junji had already returned to Songtsen Gampo from Gaochang.
At almost the same time, Hou Junji also received news that Zhao Chen had arrived in Gaochang Kingdom.
Hou Junji was surprised by Zhao Chen's arrival so quickly.
What's more, he also learned that the second batch of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty went directly to Gaochangdu.
Hou Junji immediately became alert. He didn't believe that Zhao Chen would leave Tubo alone. Since Zhao Chen came to Gaochang, he would definitely think about eliminating Tubo together.
But now the second reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty have actually gone directly to the capital of Gaochang State, which is obviously not in line with Hou Junji's understanding of Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty the King, now you should send someone to notify Luo Xi as soon as possible, so that he can always be wary of Zhao Chen's attack." The first sentence when Hou Junji saw Songzan's cadre was to ask him to send someone to notify Luo Xi.
Songtsen Gampo was still very surprised by Hou Junji's ability.
He didn't expect that Hou Junji could convince Wu Xu and join forces with them to deal with Zhao Chen.
Therefore, I still believe in Hou Junji Songtsen Gampo very much.
"General Hou said that Zhao Chen had divided his troops. On the surface, he led his army to the capital of Gaochang State, but in fact he was still preparing to lead his troops to attack my Tubo army from west of Yanmen Pavilion?" Songzan's cadre looked at Hou curiously with conspiracy.
Jun Ji.
"Of course, Zhao Chen is definitely not a person who wants to make a small advantage. I know him very well. As long as there is a possibility, he will think about destroying my Tubo army." Hou Junji advised Songzan cadres.
The Songzan Cadre didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Songtsen cadres also had the determination to win this war. As long as there was a front-line crisis, he would completely block it.
"Lu Dongzan, I will immediately pass on my order and tell Luo Xi that we must be strictly guarded and that Zhao Chen must not take advantage of the opportunity."
"If the 100,000 army is defeated, I will never let him go!" Songzan Cadre sent an order.
Lu Dongzan received the order and left in a hurry.
Hou Junji also breathed a sigh of relief. Songtsen's cadres were still smarter than Yuan Gai Suwen, and this time he was doing his best to deal with Zhao Chen.
Hou Junji was already looking forward to it. Zhao Chen led a large army to come, but found that everything was a conspiracy against him, what kind of expression would he have at that time.
...
The yellow sand is long, and on the Gobi Desert, 20,000 Tang reinforcements led by Zhao Chen are marching here.
It has been five days since Niu Jinda separated, and Li Ruoshuang took Xiao Ping'an to play in the capital of Gaochang.
Although the two of them were unwilling to do so, they were already close to the battlefield, and Zhao Chen was not as easy to talk to when he was in Chang'an.
Li Ruoshuang also took into account Xiao Ping'an's safety and followed him unhappily.
"Your Highness, the scouts in front came to report and found that a small Tubo army was stationed by the river." A general led his way to report to Zhao Chen about the situation that was found in front of him.
The Tubo army is stationed, which means that this place is not far from the main force of the Tubo army.
But if we directly attack this Tubo team, the main force of Tubo will soon find traces.
If you are in the army of Li Jing, Zhao Chen will look back and attack Luoxi's army with one eye. The plan will be exposed.
"How long will it take to detour?" Zhao Chen asked with the general in front of him.
"Report to Your Highness, it will take at least three days to take a detour, and the journey is bumpy, so the food and grass our army may not be enough." The general told Zhao Chen about the difficulties he is now.
Half of the 20,000 people were cavalry, in order to advance quickly, so the food they brought was not enough.
If you go by for another three days, you will definitely starve to death. Once the morale of the army is unstable, you will be defeated before the raid is fought.
Zhao Chen looked back and saw the soldiers who had experienced more than a month of rushing, with a strong look of fatigue on their faces.
If this continues, even if you reach the pincer point, you will not be able to exert much combat power.
"Tell me the order that all infantry will divide half of the food and water sources on their bodies to the cavalry and station them on the spot."
"Don't act rashly without my orders." Zhao Chen immediately ordered.
Everyone around them was stunned. They had only 20,000 troops, and now Zhao Chen still left all the infantry.
Could it be that they rely solely on their 10,000 cavalry to directly attack the 100,000 Tubo army?
Although the cavalry can be unexpected, once surrounded, there is basically no possibility of survival.
This is really too dangerous.
"Your Highness, General Niu said when he left, he should not let His Highness take risks no matter what. Your Highness stays here, and the last general leads a large army to attack." The general said immediately.
It is too dangerous for Zhao Chen to lead 10,000 cavalry himself.
If something really happens, they will not even think of escaping.
"I have already said it, don't let me say it again." Zhao Chen's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared at the general in front of him.
"But……"
"Everyone will execute the military order immediately!" Zhao Chen gave the order again. Although the general was helpless, he could not say anything more.
Soon the 20,000 army turned into another 10,000 cavalry. The cavalry was very fast and easily bypassed the eyeliner of the Tubo army stationed here.
Two days later, the 10,000 cavalry led by Zhao Chen had arrived behind the Tubo army.
At the same time, Li Jing's military tent received news that Zhao Chen led an army of 10,000 to attack the rear of Tubo.
When Li Jing received the news, he was full of anger. He never expected that in the end, only 10,000 cavalry were left.
Zhao Chen also personally led these cavalry to the rear of Luoxi's army.
Li Jing's nerves became tense, and he didn't dare to think about what would happen to Zhao Chen once Luo Xi discovered Zhao Chen's whereabouts.
Once something happens to Zhao Chen, the entire Tang army will definitely collapse.
It's something that Li Jing can't see.
"Why no one persuaded me?" Li Jing was a little angry. Since he didn't know what terrible consequences would be brought about after the accident of Zhao Chen?
"Master General, where can we persuade His Highness the King of Han?" The soldier who sent the order smiled bitterly.
Li Jing sighed slightly, and he knew that no one could persuade you Zhao Chen's temper.
But this is too dangerous. If you are not careful, the future of the Tang Dynasty will be ruined here.
At this moment, Li Jing couldn't care about so much, no matter what, he had to save Zhao Chen's life.
"Send scouts to closely monitor the movements of Luosi's army. Once you find that there are troops in his rear, come and report it immediately."
"In addition, the harassing troops sent are irrevocable, so it is necessary to bring all Luo Xi's attention to us." Li Jing immediately made two decisions.
The soldiers took the order and left. Li Jing sat on the stool, but he still dared not relax at all.
He didn't believe that Tubo would not know these things at all, but all that could be done there was can do.
He hopes that Zhao Chen can come back alive, and the next thing can only be considered by Zhao Chen himself.
