On Wuwei City, Xue Hu was still patrolling the city defenses, leading people to repair the damaged parts and clean up the corpses on the city walls overnight.
The battle during the day today was really fierce. In the most dangerous one, the Tubo people had already climbed up the city wall. It was Xue Hu who held the weapon and the players led the team to fight together, and finally defeated the Tubo people.
Sun Duyan was also sitting in the corner. Wu Brigadier was changing the bandages for them one by one. His wound was on his calf. Fortunately, Wu Brigadier saved him, otherwise Sun Duyan's leg would have been broken.
These herbs had been prepared before defending the city, and the officers personally applied the medicine to the soldiers. Sun Duyan's heart was filled with warmth.
Today, everyone from Xue Hu, the Sima of the Jiedushi Prefecture, to mid-level officers like Wu Brigadier, took the lead in guarding the city wall, which also inspired the soldiers' courage and bloodshed. In the end, it was the combined efforts of everyone who guarded the city gate.
Xue Hu looked at the Tibetan army camp under the city. Tomorrow will be the most difficult time. They must hold on for another half day before Yuchixin's army can reach Wuwei City.
Tonight is also a sleepless night for Dai Ze.
The troops he left to surround the Chishui Army were defeated by King Jianning's army. When the news reached Dai Ze's ears, it was almost midnight.
Dai Ze felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and his heart felt cold from head to toe.
The troops surrounding the Chishui Army were devoured, and King Jianning's troops were dispatched in advance, which meant that Tibet had lost its strategic initiative.
Originally, according to Shang Qi Xin'er's plan, he unexpectedly captured the exit from the Qilian Mountains, and then took advantage of Zhangye's unpreparedness to attack Zhangye City with all his strength. After cutting off the Hexi Corridor, he could ask Zanpu to mobilize the entire Tibetan army and swallow up Long in the Tang Dynasty.
Right road.
Shang Qixin'er's strategy was to cut off Hexi and drag the entire Tubo into the water.
No Tubo Zanpu could resist the temptation to occupy Longyou!
Although the current Zanpu took the throne not long ago, Shang Qixin'er had already seen Zanpu's ambition, so she and Zanpu acted out the drama of converting to Buddhism.
In fact, through secret contacts among Buddhists, Shang Qixin'er, the host of great influence in Tubo, had reached a tacit political alliance with Trisong Detsen.
Shang Qixin'er converted to Buddhism, supported Trisong Detsen in carrying out Buddhist reforms in Tubo, and helped Trisong Detsen control Zamputing's power.
At the same time, Trisong Dezan acquiesced to Shang Qixin'er's war against Longyou, and after Shang Qixin'er occupied Hexi, he mobilized the entire Tibetan army to attack Longyou.
In Shang Qixin'er's entire grand strategy, King Jianning and Zhangye City are the most important parts.
Neither King Jianning nor Shang Qixin'er paid much attention to Fang Guan, the governor of Hexi Province.
Shang Qixin'er did not ask Dai Ze to achieve great results, but only asked him to occupy the exit of Qilian Mountain.
As long as the Tubo army crosses the Qilian Mountains, Wuwei City will be within their grasp.
Originally, Dai Ze surrounded the Chishui Army, which was already a great victory.
But Dai Ze was greedy and insisted on attacking Wuwei City.
Now that the Qilian Mountain exit has been lost, this is a major crime that destroyed his father Zhang Lue.
Dai Ze was pacing back and forth in the camp. What on earth was going on?
There are obviously not many defenders left in Wuwei City, but they fought very tenaciously today.
Dai Ze was horrified to find that King Jianning walked in front of them every step of the way.
Before Dai Ze arrived in Wuwei, King Jianning's men took control of Fangguan and the city of Wuwei.
When he just set out to attack Wuwei City, Zhangye's army of King Jianning immediately dispatched and occupied the Qilian Mountain Pass.
Is there a spy in his army?
Dai Ze suddenly felt enlightened. Yes, there must be spies in his army. Otherwise, how could King Jianning know so much about the dynamics of the army?
A figure comes to mind, Monk Guangde!
Dai Ze was furious, and the suggestion to attack Wuwei City was made by Monk Guangde.
He said he was going to the city to persuade Fang Guan to surrender, but instead he pretended to negotiate with Zhang Wu and deliberately delayed the army for a day.
Originally Dai Ze did not kill Guangde, but now that he thinks about it, Guangde must be King Jianning’s internal agent!
The hoarse voice is nothing more than Guangde’s trick! Otherwise, why would King Jianning know so much about his own movements?
Thinking of this, Dai Ze felt as if the fog in his heart had been lifted, and he suddenly became enlightened.
It must be Guangde! This guy's escape from Leiyin Temple into Tubo was King Jianning's long-planned conspiracy!
Monk Guangde was escorted by two soldiers and taken into Dai Ze's tent.
Monk Guangde was so frightened that he was trembling all over. His throat was hoarse and he could not speak. He could only look at Dai Ze with pleading eyes.
Dai Ze said coldly: "Monk Guangde, do you know your sin?"
Guangde was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Didn't Dai Ze forgive his sin last time? Why did he open up old scores again now?
I only heard Dai Ze continue to say: "King Jianning has already sent troops to break the siege of Chishui Army. If you, a spy, hadn't reported the news in advance, how could King Jianning have arrived so quickly?"
"Luring this general to attack Wuwei City is also your plan, right?"
Guang De was so frightened that he kept kowtowing to Dai Ze until blood started to form on his forehead, but he still did not dare to stop.
Dai Ze drew out his sword, grabbed Monk Guangde, put the tip of the sword against his heart and said:
"What a good plan! It's a pity that you made a wrong calculation. As long as this general takes Wuwei City, your plan will fail!"
Dai Ze's mind was surprisingly clear. The Qilian Pass had been lost, but once he captured Wuwei City, he would have a stronghold in Hexi.
The 9,000-strong army can enter Wuwei City to rest and recuperate. When father's army arrives, they can form an encirclement against King Jianning's army at the Qilian Pass.
This is your only chance!
Dai Ze waved his hand and said to his soldiers: "Please come over, priest."
After a while, a Bon wizard with leaky teeth and disheveled hair walked into the big tent.
Dai Ze pointed to Guangde on the ground and said: "Priest, I have listened to the evil monk's words. Now the war is not going well. Please pray for blessings for our army."
Ever since Buddhists entered the Eastern Dao, Bon religion has been severely suppressed.
The Bon priest was dissatisfied with these bald donkeys. After hearing what Dai Ze said, he immediately understood what Dai Ze meant.
He said with leaky teeth: "The demon monk not only confused the general, but also used his magic to curse the entire army. This made the war unfavorable and Wuwei City could not be captured for a long time."
Dai Ze immediately cooperated and said: "Please ask the priest to do something for me to break this evil monk's evil spell."
The Bon priest smiled and said: "This is easy. Please ask the general to erect a wooden pillar, tie the demon monk to it, then cut his wrists and ankles, and use the divine wind from the nine heavens to cut off his magic.
The army will surely win the battle and break through Wuwei City!"
Dai Ze smiled and said: "Good, please ask the priest to do this for me. After the city is broken, there will be a blood sacrifice!"
