The arrival of Han Yi only forced the main battlefield to shift, but did not reverse the situation and did not achieve a decisive victory. The Tang army was still suppressed in the entire situation, and it was really supported by its strong logistics.

This is indeed beyond Tubo's expectations, because Tubo does not understand commercial civilization and does not understand the new way of playing national debt.

If there is no national debt, the court can only forcibly collect the wealth of the people or rob the wealth of merchants. This will directly destroy domestic development, cause domestic chaos, and even directly collapse, and will not be sustained. However, issuing national debts will transport all the excess food to the front line without destroying domestic development. This is just a way to overdraw the national treasury. In this way, production in the Central Plains has not only not decreased, but is still growing significantly because national debts are stimulating the development of the people.

What was unexpected was that the Silla battlefield, which finally joined the anti-Tang Alliance, was the first to undergo a decisive reversal.

After annihilated the Japanese naval forces, Dugu Wuyue directly ordered the navy to advance into Baijiang, which is the Jinjiang in later generations. At that time, the main force of Silla sent troops from Baekje to attack Lelangzhou. The battle was a success, but Dugu Wuyue suddenly inserted this pole into the middle and directly divided the main force of Silla into two. He led the navy to land directly with Yuan Liehu and Hei Ya Changzhi, and surrounded and annihilated all the main force of Silla in Lelangzhou with far inferior forces.

The main reason is that the Japanese army in the coalition forces over there heard that their main force was completely wiped out, and their hearts were broken. The Japanese army was in chaos in the morale of the army, which was a terrible injustice for the Silla army.

In fact, the Silla army is the most undefeated army. The current generals of Silla are all famous generals of Baekje, and all the famous generals of Baekje are defeated by the Tang army.

After annihilated the main force of Silla, Dugu Wuyue did not rush to recover Xiongjinzhou, but led the troops of Lelangzhou to take a boat to attack Silla. Silla was too small and had no depth at all. Moreover, Dugu Wuyue was very familiar with Silla terrain. He had been wandering here before, and his troops had just swept across Southeast Asia, with their morale and condition. Although their opponents were relatively weak, they had also experienced it and went straight to the capital of Silla.

"General, King Silla has sent an envoy."

Hei-Too Changzhi came to the big tent and reported to Dugu Wuyue.

Yuan Liehu said: "Have you heard the queen's edict? No one can talk to the enemy. If you deny the military law, you will continue to do so, you will be shot to death."

"Let's wait!"

Dugu Wuyue said: "You ordered someone to inform the envoy and let King Silla surrender unconditionally, otherwise our army will immediately enter the city."

Yuan Liehu hurriedly said, "Wuyue, if you do this, you violate the military law, then."

Dugu Wuyue looked at Yuan Liehu a little embarrassedly and said, "If we continue to fight and completely wipe out Silla, it will probably take two or three months. But if King Silla surrenders, we can immediately withdraw from the north to eliminate Tiel, and even catch up with the war with Tubo."

Yuan Liehu blinked and suddenly said, "It turns out that you are making this idea." Hei Teeth Changzhi said, "Changzhi, you have someone to secretly talk to the envoy."

Black-Too Changzhi nodded and said, "I will know."

Dugu Wuyue was actually very excited. This was the battlefield he really expected. In fact, he didn't like any navy. Because the strong enemy was not on the sea, he still yearned for the pleasure of charging on the grassland. He didn't even want to recover Xiongjinzhou, but just wanted to force King Silla to surrender and go there early. Now there is a shortage of people in any battlefield, and the navy has no effect, and no one will care.

He's really in a hurry

Tashkent.

East of the Sir River, an encounter just ended here.

Pei Xingjian led three thousand elite troops to march day and night. When the Dashi Army crossed the river, he suddenly launched an attack and defeated the Dashi Army very beautifully.

The Great Food Army originally heard that the Tang army had only 3,000 people, so they naturally didn't take it seriously, because they had just swept across Central Asia and even fought to Europe. The morale was high. They thought they were the strongest and were very arrogant when crossing the river, but they did not expect that Pei Xingjian would suddenly appear here. They had never fought with the Tang army. This was actually the Tang army's signature tactic, which was to attack the long distance at an astonishing speed and caught the other party off guard.

"General, now that the enemy is hit by us, we should continue pursuing immediately."

The Tang army was very motivated, and the generals asked to continue pursuing.

Pei Xingjian waved his hand and said, "At this time, we are enemies of Dashi, neither of us can get anything. We cannot eliminate Dashi, nor can we occupy Dashi's territory. If we continue to fight, we will only suffer both losses. We just paid special attention. This Dashi army is not a bunch of candids. They are all brave and good at fighting. They are just caught off guard by us. After we stabilize our position, we may not be able to defeat them."

Speaking of this, he paused, "In addition, I think Dashi should have been invaded by Tubo, and from their logistics mobilization, it should be just tentative. Now, we have let the Dashi Army know the combat effectiveness of our army. We should stop when we see the good, send envoys to discuss peace with them, and return the prisoners to them, saying that our Tang Dynasty and Dashi have always been very friendly, and they have no intention of being enemies with them, and are willing to continue trade and continue to fight. No matter who wins and who loses, they will not get anything from each other, and will only allow Tubo to profit from it."

"General, now we are so motivated that we will take the initiative to seek peace, and we will not be able to understand this!"

"And the court has ordered that peace talks with the enemy are not allowed, and that we must fight to the end."

The generals couldn't understand it. They really thought this was a missed opportunity!

Pei Xingjian smiled and said, "The Queen said that it is mainly aimed at Tubo, not Dashi. We don't even have the ability to go to Dashi now. What should we do if we don't discuss peace? In addition, the Pamirs are in danger, so we have to go back quickly. I have decided that if the court blames me, Pei Xingjian, will take responsibility and send someone to Dashi to discuss peace."

He was a civil servant. He used to be the magistrate of Chang'an County. Later, he was demoted here and started to lead troops. It can be seen that he is both civil and military. Such people are very terrible because they have an excellent overall view. If they are pure generals, they will definitely fight. They must take advantage of the enemy's foothold and annihilate all the enemy troops in one fell swoop. However, Pei Xingjian believes that even if they annihilate the enemy, it will have no strategic significance. That is, killing some people will only attract more big food troops, which is not worth the loss.

But if all the Pamirs are lost, it will be a big loss. Therefore, Pei Xingjian actually wanted to force the Dashi to negotiate peace and then go back to fight with Tubo himself. That is the main enemy. After all, the Dashi is too far away and cannot threaten the Central Plains.

However, these Silla and Dashi were actually brought to restrain the Tang army and prevent the Tang army from attacking Tubo from all directions. At that time, Lu Dongzan did not dare to launch a decisive battle because he was afraid that the Tang army would attack Tubo from all directions. Therefore, these two battlefields were actually very secondary, and Tubo did not have hope for them. The real unity of Tubo was Tiele and Liuzhao.

The real main battlefield is still in the northwest.

Although the first battle of Dashi failed, it still helped Tubo, mainly to restrain Pei Xingjian. Xiaobolu was occupied by Dabulu, and I don’t know how many times he was looted. Because it was on the important road, Tubo had to send troops there. After Xiaobolu was thrown away, most of the territory of the Pamirs were lost, and the important town Shule also lost one after another. However, the Tubo army did not go north to snipe Pei Xingjian’s troops, but immediately departed to Pei Xingjian’s base Anxi Protectorate.

Because Qinling and Pei Xingjian were meaningless, they had to quickly annihilate the main force of the Tang army in the northwest battlefield. Pei Xingjian was the turtle in the jar and he didn't have many troops.

The Anxi Protectorate was originally the center of the northwest, but now it has become the front-line battlefield. A Tubo army has arrived at the city. They can finally join forces with Tielle, and basically most of the northwest is under the control of Tubo and Tielle.

This is actually related to Han Yi's shrinking strategy. Han Yi only requires them to defend Xizhou and Yizhou and prevent the enemy from pressing to Yumen Pass. That's fine.

This is the lifeline of the Tang army. Whether the Tang army defends Tuyuhun or transfers troops to Shazhou, it is all to protect Yumen Pass, and the Tang army is always on the defensive.

Fortunately, the people in the northwest died and were unwilling to stand aside with Tubo and Tiele. They were firmly standing on the side of the Tang Dynasty. Why? It is because the Tang Dynasty has money, and this account is actually not difficult to calculate. If Tubo and Tiele win, they will definitely pay for the war. Although they are not as rich as the Central Plains, Tiele is even poorer. But if the Tang Dynasty wins, they will definitely come to the Central Plains to pay for the bill.

The people all ran towards the Central Plains. When they ran here, they immediately became soldiers. If they were just Qi Heli's little men, they would not be able to fight.

Now, the military strength of the plateau is increasing here again, both sides are like this.

All the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty were concentrated here, including Ashinami She, Xue Rengui, Pang Tongshan, Ashina Daozhen, Guo Zhifeng, etc., and they were all cavalrymen. The same was true for Tubo, with all the good generals coming out. If the cunning Han Yi had not stayed in Tuyuhun, Qinling would have wished to come here in person, and this place would have become a decisive battlefield.

Xue Rengui and Ashinami Shooting and other generals were full of aura on the plateau. Now they were like tigers at the foot of the mountain, sweeping all the way. This was not a plateau, and they could rush around. In a few days, they took Boxian Town and Shicheng Town. But soon, the Tubo reinforcements also arrived here, and they had to retreat again, because their attack was just a breath of anger. After holding it for too long, they had not fought a happy war on the plateau, and they kept huddled in it. They did not consider any logistics, but they were not stupid. When they saw that the Tubo reinforcements arrived, they quickly retreated.

The generals and generals on both sides no longer feel any fear. To put it bluntly, this is actually a very exciting game for them, and it is unprecedented. This will meet good talents and match opponents. Everyone will devote themselves to it and use all their life learning. On the wide battlefield in the northwest, you can open and close together and fight across the board. This platform is really what military generals dream of.

The key is Lop Nur, and within one day, they will change hands four times.

The two sides are hard to solve.

If Dugu Wuyue knew about this battlefield, he would probably bypass it and come here to join the battle.

At the same time, this also reduced the logistics pressure of the Tang army. Originally, most of the logistics had to go to the plateau, but now that it was all piled up here, it was of course easier.

Moreover, as all the trainees from the Military Academy joined the logistics, the logistics operation would be faster. They were both civil and military, had military management, were strictly disciplined, could write and calculate, and had other talents. They settled all the people who fled very well.

Today's generals never consider logistical issues, they only consider how to annihilate the enemy.

You should know that the logistics team also includes a huge medical team.

Xizhou!

"ah!"

A big bearded man screamed, his body seemed to be bounced up, his face covered with beans of sweat, but he was pressed down by two men.

"You're patient and it'll be fine soon!"

Lu Shigua was wearing a big white coat and a mask, carefully stitching the wounds with stitches and threads. A girl beside him carefully helped him wipe his sweat.

This northwest city does not have a defensive function and all comes from trade. As long as trade is concentrated here, it will become a town. Xizhou is now the center of the north and south lines of the Tarim Basin, and the wounded are all concentrated here.

Looking around, the entire lobby was full of wounded people, with hundreds of nurses walking back and forth. The nurse had already taken shape in this battle. Because of Lu Shi Gua, Xu Changming did not bring many people. They just brought a large amount of new medicines. The women here volunteered to join them, and then they gradually became nurses, because men had to go to war, and only women were left to help.

"alright!"

Lu Shiguo stood up straight, picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, and went outside, intending to wash his face, but as soon as he came outside, he saw an aunt running over cryingly, kneeling on the ground, and said, "My doctor, thank you, thank you for saving my son."

He cried so hard that his son was seriously injured and was basically out of rescue. But he didn't expect that Lu Shigua would actually save his son. In their opinion, this was simply a miracle!

Lu Shigua quickly helped the aunt up and said, "Auntie, you don't need to thank me. In fact, your son protects us from harm. Compared to the son, everything we do is really not worth mentioning. If you really talk about it, I have to thank the son. Auntie, hurry up and take care of your son, and I have to continue to treat the wounded."

The aunt nodded constantly, and tears still couldn't stop falling.

The role played by Lu Shi Gua and Xu Changming, the doctors from Zhongyuan, is never to save a few people. They closely link the two ethnic groups, because everyone is watching these Han people, helping everyone day and night. In their eyes, there are no Han people and Hu people, and there are many touching things, which makes everyone very firmly believe that we are a family and do not distinguish between each other.

In fact, in terms of blood relationship and customs, Tiele and they are family members. Many people on both sides have the same family and the same ancestor. However, the people in the northwest do not think so now. They almost speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, and learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty comprehensively. Instead, they look down on Tiele and Tubo, especially Tubo. In their eyes, they are barbarians and we are civilized people.

In fact, in history, whenever a war broke out here, the Hu people supported the Hu people and rarely supported the Han people. But it was because of the emergence of Han art that changed this situation. Commercial civilization built a bridge, and both sides continuously strengthened trade, so that you have me and I have you, and everyone eat together. Isn’t this a family? As for bloodline, it really cannot be eaten as a meal. If bloodline is really so important, Tiele would not go to attack Tingzhou, but to attack Taiyuan.

It was not until the second hour that Xu Changming and Lu Shigua could breathe a little, and the two immediately came to the house, eating and talking.

"Young Master Lu, you have such a skill to treat trauma, which is really amazing. Otherwise, we might not be able to save so many people."

Xu Changming was quite excited. He liked to open the belly and then sew and repair it. This latest medical technique is in line with his nature.

Lu Shigua smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to hide it from you, it's a blessing that I used to be a coroner."

Xu Changming said in surprise: "Coron?"

Lu Shigua nodded and said, "Because coroners have to check the body every day, and even open the belly, my medical skills are obtained from the experience of coroners."

Xu Changming said, "So you treat the wounded as a dead person in the hospital. I don't mean that, I am."

"It's okay. It's okay."

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "It's your anesthetic that is extremely unstable. Some injured people can't wake up for a long time, but some injured people will wake up quickly in pain. This is very likely to affect our surgery and is very dangerous."

"I have also discovered this. In fact, the new drug also has this problem. I think the method of taking it is wrong."

"How do you say this?"

Xu Changming said: "I have observed carefully that if it is just a small wound, applying new medicine powder to the wound will take effect very quickly, but if you swallow it, it will take effect slowly. I was wondering if the new medicine combines faster with the blood. If the new medicine can be injected into the blood, it may take effect faster, and the same may be true for anesthetics."

Lu Shigua couldn't help but frown, pondered for a while, and said, "I think this method may be really feasible. No, I have to remember this first."

As he said that, he hurriedly took out his small notebook, not caring about eating.

Xu Changming said again: "There is another point. I have contacted several old wounded people these days and found that the effect of this new drug is far less than the first time."

Lu Shigua nodded and said, "This may be a major drawback of the new drug, and it will be a major problem we will overcome in the future!"

In fact, in this battle, great breakthroughs in medicine have also been made.

First of all, surgery was born on the battlefield because there were too many wounded people and there were many seriously injured people, so they had to be dealt with in time. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine were more effective and could not be cured.

It just so happened that Lu Shigua had been a coroner for several years and was very familiar with human body structure. He had a special procedure, but it was used to deal with corpses before. At the beginning, he didn't dare to use it. It was because he forced him to use this method of surgery. There was enough salt water here to clean the wounds.

What's even more coincidental is that the people in the northwest do not have so many Han people with so many pedantic ideas. If they were in the Central Plains, the family would never allow you to do this. If you have the ability to break your own belly, you have the ability to destroy yourself in advance. If you die, you still have to be responsible. The people in the northwest do not believe in these things. Fortunately, this first case was successful. Of course, the new drug also played a key role in this, because the new drug Xu Changming studied was an antibiotic, and it was clinically tested in Tubo for two years, so the Northwest soldiers were more willing to try surgery.

Anesthetics are also being used on a large scale, which is a blessing in disgrace. This anesthetic was born from the evil side of Xu Changming. He obtained many new technologies in the research and development of new drugs, especially purification technology, so he began to be unable to withstand it and wanted to purify his own drug.

Originally used to harm people, but now there is no way. This kind of drug can only help the injured relieve the pain. The effect is quite good, and at least it can relieve some of the pain.
