"

"Your Majesty, this is news from the hinterland of the Golden Teeth."

What Aya and others probably didn't expect was that when the golden platform here was being built, Lu Zhaoci, who was thousands of miles away, had already received the news.

"Ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine golden towers, with ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine soldiers showing great momentum. Gee, this posture is much more spectacular than when I ascended the throne!" Lu Zhaoci raised the information in his hand and smiled.

Hehehe said: "Xuanling, I remember that when I ascended the throne, there was no such grand pomp!"

"Haha! This Zhong Siqi is quite a character. His Majesty has such a character, so he should be reused." Fang Xuanling took the document handed over by Lu Zhaoci, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "The nine-foot-nine golden platform

I don’t know how much money it will cost, especially the 99,919 soldiers. I am afraid that the four Golden Teeth tribes combined do not have so many soldiers. In this case, Aya will definitely have to mobilize the front to stop them.

The soldiers of our army can gather so many soldiers in this way. This Zhong Siqi helped our army get rid of a big crisis without saying a word! Without these people secretly causing trouble, His Majesty's Chidao Plan 1 will be carried out more smoothly

smoothly."

"Haha, these are all trivial things. Only absolute strength is the magic weapon for the army to win." Lu Zhaoci waved his hand and said: "During the Warring States Period, some hydraulic engineers from the Zheng State went to the Qin State and said they wanted to build

A water canal turned eight hundred miles of Qin 11 into fertile soil. The King of Qin was very happy after hearing this, so he asked Zheng Guo to do it. It turned out that this was a Korean strategy, which was to make Qin Guo waste his life and money, but the result

How about it? Although South Korea's plan has prevented Qin from having any major wars for ten years, in the face of Qin's strong combat power, how can this small trick of hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo hurt Qin at all? Even if hydraulic engineer Zheng Guo

The Zheng Guo Canal built is still playing a huge role in the Tang Dynasty. Just as Zheng Guo said, it has indeed added eight hundred miles of fertile land to the Qin State. Of course, what Zhong Siqi brought to Aya

Of course it is not the fertile land of Qin 11 which is eight hundred miles away, but what he did also brought me a big trouble."

"Oh! Your Majesty, please make it clear." Fang Xuanling and others felt calm after hearing this and asked quickly.

"Xuanling, tell me, this golden platform is ninety-nine feet high. How can I bring it back to Chang'an? Haha!" Lu Zhaoci suddenly laughed.

Fang Xuanling looked stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. At this time, the generals also realized that Lu Zhaoci was making fun of Aya! The atmosphere in the big tent became lively.

Although Shen Siqi's strategy helped us solve a lot of troubles." Lu Zhaoci pressed his hands, and the tent suddenly calmed down. Lu Zhaoci could only be heard saying lightly: "If we can pacify the Nanman and defeat Aya in a short time,

, I can use countless means, but what I need is not to quickly defeat Aya and regain this place. What I need is to occupy the southwest for a long time. Therefore, Chidao is the most fundamental solution. Only after Chidao is built, my

Only in this way can the army go out to all directions at any time to increase the connection between the southwest hinterland and the Central Plains. Therefore, although it takes time to build Chidao, it cannot be ignored. The officers and soldiers of the three armies cannot be idle during this period. The generals are supervising the prisoners at the same time.

, what we need to do is to train and train an elite soldier, suitable for fighting in the mountains. After Aya and others react, they will definitely not let us build Chidao with peace of mind, and they will inevitably come to harass us. When the time comes, it will be

When you attack, soldiers will fight against soldiers and generals, fighting with each other in the mountains and forests, and defeating each other. Let them see that we, the Tang Dynasty, can not only defeat each other in field battles, but are also powerful in the mountains and forests.

"

"I obey the order." Yu Chigong and others stood up and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, urgent report from Songzhou." At this moment, a spy rushed straight into the tent. Everyone's expressions tightened upon hearing this, and they all stared at the spy kneeling on the ground.

Songzhou is a city on the edge of the Tang Dynasty, close to Tubo. The difference from other cities is that the other cities are very close to other cities in the Tang Dynasty. Once attacked, other cities can quickly rescue, but Songzhou But it was different. It was separated from the city behind by a river. This prevented the Tang army's rescue from being implemented as quickly as possible.

"Qinling." Lu Zhaoci took the document from the spy's hand, suddenly his expression changed, and said: "Xue Rengui's army was unexpectedly frustrated, and the three thousand soldiers and horses led by Guo Daofeng, the vanguard, were completely wiped out.

Guo Daofeng was even beheaded by the enemy, and another military genius emerged from Tubo."

"Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling and everyone else's expressions changed when they heard this.

"Your Majesty, I asked you to lead the army, but I don't believe that the Tubo people are so powerful?" Cheng Yaojin said loudly.

"Your Majesty, Xue Rengui is a famous general in our dynasty, and he has the true biography of the general. Presumably, this Qinling Mausoleum may not be Xue Rengui's opponent. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. If you wait for a while, maybe Xue Rengui will have good news." Fang Xuanling hurriedly said. Counseled.

"I believe in my general." Lu Zhaoci said softly. This Qinyuan, Lu Zhaoci had heard of this person's reputation before, or heard about it by chance. Xue Rengui's TV was playing back then. A group of people praised Xue Rengui, but only one Tibetan friend laughed and said that Xue Rengui was the defeated general of their Tibetan ancestors, and the general who defeated him was a man named Qin Ling. Logically speaking, Qin Ling was not that big at this time, and he was still Ludong Dongzan's son was only a teenager. How could he be so ruthless and vicious in his military service? Even Guo Daofeng was beheaded by him. This made Songzhou panic.

"Your Majesty is worried about Songzhou?" Fang Xuanling asked cautiously.

"That's right." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said: "Xue Rengui's defeat was not actually his fault, but was caused by Guo Daofeng's underestimation of the enemy's advance. According to Xue Rengui's deployment, the army should be temporarily stationed in In the Songzhou area, it is enough to protect the Tang Dynasty border. Guo Daofeng thought he was brave, so he underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He did not understand what the Tubo army was like. As a result, he was attacked in Heifeng Gorge and even himself was beheaded by Qinling. Head, hum, you really deserved to die, and you even looked at my three thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of person deserves to die." All the generals were silent after hearing this. There are times when wars fail, but Guo Daofeng is the only one. It was so stupid that he disobeyed military orders and acted without permission. Three thousand elite troops were easily defeated by the opponent. And more importantly, Qinling had already led his army to surround Songzhou and locked up the Minjiang River with cavalry. The most important thing is to block Xue Rengui's troops and horses to the east of the Minjiang River, so that they cannot cross the river at all. This will put Songzhou in danger.

"On the other side of Songzhou is Maozhou, upstream is Minzhou, and downstream is Yazhou. Maozhou is on the other side of the river. If we want to rescue, it will be too late." At this time, Qin Jiudao had already ordered people to open up the area near Songzhou. Border map. Fang Xuanling led everyone to the map and pointed.

"Songzhou Ferry, one is at Qinglongchang and the other is at Huanglong River. The distance between the two sides is about fifty miles." Qin Jiudao didn't know where he got a document from, handed it to Fang Xuanling and said, "Mr. Ge"

Only these two places have open terrain, relatively slow water flow, and a short distance between the two banks, making them suitable for large armies to cross the river."

"I'm afraid that the opponent has already led his army to cut daggers at the two ferry crossings to resist the attack of Xue Rengui's army." Fang Xuanling said lightly.

"As soon as Songzhou is lost, Qin Ling is a very powerful person. He will definitely be on guard against Xue Rengui leading the army to rescue him."

These two ferries must be the primary targets of the opponent's attack. By the way, "Qin Bi Gong, are there any other ferries nearby?" Qin Huaiyu said quickly.

Hearing this, Qin Jiudao shook his head and said: "There is no other ferry. Even if there is, it is not suitable for large forces to cross the river." When a group of troops go there, as long as the opponent sends hundreds of cavalry, it will be enough to rush this group of troops.

Disperse." After hearing this, everyone's expressions changed and they took a gentle breath.

What he didn't expect was that Guo Daofeng's defeat would have such consequences. Without the "suppression" of the forwards, Qinling could easily defend the ferry. In this way, the Tubo follow-up army could "self"

Free to attack Songzhou.

"Songzhou is a place where Han and Hu people live together, and it is also a border city. Once someone instigates rebellion inside, Songzhou will definitely be lost." Fang Xuanling frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Xue Rengui must cross the river quickly. Once someone starts a rebellion, Songzhou will be lost."

If Songzhou is occupied by Tubo, Tubo will have an advantage." Yu Chigong and others suddenly showed a trace of worry on their faces. In this case, even if they go, they may not be able to turn such a disadvantage into an advantage. Such an opening

Come, the fall of Songzhou becomes a foregone conclusion.

I think the war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has not yet begun. Even if Xu Shiji was in Dafei, it was just a confrontation between the two sides. It would only be a small-scale confrontation. Now, the other side actually captured a border city before the battle started.

When word spread, not to mention Xue Rengui, even Lu Zhaoci didn't necessarily have a good look on his face...

"Qin Jiudao, how many miles did you say the two ferries are apart?" Lu Zhaoci, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, it's about fifty miles away." Qin Jiudao didn't dare to neglect and said quickly.

"Haha! Fifty miles, in fact, it's definitely more than fifty miles." Lu Zhaoci suddenly said with a smile: "Songzhou is very mountainous. The fifty miles you mentioned are just straight lines. It looks like fifty miles from the river, but there are many mountain peaks in the middle.

, this is what I said."

"Your Majesty, your Majesty." Qin Jiudao's face changed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty is trying to find a solution here?" Fang Xuanling's face changed and she said in surprise.

"That's right." Lu Zhaoci nodded and said, "There are mountain peaks in the middle, which makes it inconvenient to transmit messages. Secondly, it is also inconvenient to mobilize troops from both sides.

This is our army’s opportunity.”

"Qin Jiudao, please quickly pass this secret decree to Xue Rengui and ask him to act according to the plan without making any mistakes." Lu Zhaoci thought for a while and quickly wrote a secret decree.

"I'll do it right now." Qin Jiudao looked stunned, quickly reached out to take it, and turned away. He naturally had a way to make Lu Zhaoci's secret plan reach Xue Rengui's camp in Songzhou in a short time.

This is the contribution of Jin Yiwei.

"Your Majesty." Fang Xuanling opened his mouth, with a look of doubt on his face.

"That's all I can do. As for success or failure, that's not something I can consider." Lu Zhaoci shook his head and said, "It was ordered that Qin Yong send troops to join forces with Xue Rengui. With Xue Rengui

General. Since Qinling can attack Songzhou City and block our army by the river, will the news reach Tubo? Songtsen Gampo will definitely unite these forces in one place, hoping to take advantage of Songzhou's opportunity.

, invade the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. That's fine, let these two people deal with them! If they can't do it, I'm afraid I will have to go away." Fang Xuanling's face changed when he heard this. What he didn't expect was,

Lu Zhaoci actually asked Xue Rengui to serve as an unworthy general. This was Lu Zhaoci's statement to the world. Although Xue Rengui was defeated,

But today the emperor still trusts him, which is also a comfort to those defeated generals.

Min*longchang Ferry was very busy in the past. Countless merchants from the Central Plains would pass through this ferry to go to Songzhou to trade goods with the Tubo and other ethnic minorities, and sell porcelain from the Central Plains to

Silk, tea and other goods were sold to Tubo, and Tibetan furs and other goods were sold to the Central Plains. But now this ferry has become a military center. Xue Rengui led 30,000 elite Tang troops and was stationed here.

Occupying the entire ferry, even if those merchants wanted to enter Songzhou, they had no chance at this time because Songzhou was besieged.

"Under the night," the water of the Minjiang River rushed by. Bi Rengui led Zhou Qing and other soldiers to look at the other side. They saw bright lights on the other side, countless firelights shining in the night sky, and bursts of wild laughter from time to time. Apparently it was the Tubo people.

The generals are having a feast.

, "Commander, now the Tibetan general opposite has stationed people at the ferry, preventing our army from crossing the river. What should we do?" Zhou Qing frowned and said: "It's all that damn Guo Daofeng.

, not only lost three thousand soldiers and horses, but more importantly, the enemy rushed to the Minjiang River and "blocked the crossing", making it impossible for our army to cross the Minjiang River. Songzhou is now in danger."

"Okay, let's think about how to cross the river!" Xue Ren frowned.

"Brother, 1 Bu is not worried about other things, but worried about how your Majesty will deal with eldest brother this time." Li Qinghong on the side said quietly: "The war between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo has not started yet." The general was confronting Songtsen Gampo.

In Dafei 11, only the eldest brother took the lead in fighting the Tubo army. Before the war even started, he lost three thousand soldiers and horses. When word of this spread, the government and the public were shocked!

If Your Majesty doesn’t deal with my eldest brother, I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to do business!”

...Hmph! Your Majesty is the Holy Lord, how could you do this?" Zhou Qing said disdainfully: "How can there be any reason to be invincible in a war? What's more, this time Guo Daofeng disobeyed orders, what does he have to do with his elder brother?

relation?"

"Okay, stop talking. If His Majesty punishes me, I have nothing to say. After all, it is caused by my ignorance of people. How important is the vanguard general? I actually handed it over to Guo Daofeng, so that's why

Such a defeat has destroyed all the advantages of our army. I am not only sorry for your majesty's trust and the teacher's careful teaching, but also for the soldiers who died." Xue Rengui suddenly waved his hand and sighed.

Everyone was silent after hearing this. Being a general is not only an honor, but more importantly, a responsibility. These people have been generals for so many years. How can they not understand this truth? It is said that one general is incompetent and the entire army will be exhausted.

It's not that they don't understand the truth. If it weren't for Guo Daofeng who underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, 1j,.

Looking at the Tubo people, they would not let thousands of soldiers die on the battlefield. Speaking of all this, Xue Rengui does have to bear a certain amount of responsibility.

"If we can save Songzhou, that's fine. If Songzhou falls again, I'm afraid no matter how merciful your majesty is, you won't let me go." Xue Rengui sighed and said, "I have studied the art of war with the general for many years.

I want to serve the imperial court, but it seems that there are still some shortcomings."

"Actually, it all comes down to this Guo Daofeng. If he hadn't said that he was familiar with the geographical location of Songzhou, my eldest brother would not have given up the position of pioneer to him." Li Qinghong snorted: "He is dead now.

, the death was easy, but for the eldest brother who was implicated, it would not be an exaggeration for such a person to kill three clans."
