After hearing the bad news, all the soldiers in the Tubo army were furious and asked the Garqin Ling to send troops to fight back immediately. However, the Garqin Ling thought for a moment, then shook his head and said: "This is inappropriate. Since the Tang barbarians can burn
Hulu Valley, ruining the lives of my 10,000-strong army, we must have calculated that our army will retaliate, so we must have made preparations in advance. If we go to kill, we will definitely be ambushed by the Tang army. If we send less troops, it will be equal to
I'm going to die, let alone sending more troops, because I believe that this group of Tang barbarians must have made contact with Xue Rengui at this time. As long as I send more troops, Xue Rengui will definitely come out of the city to attack the generals of my camp. By then, our army will be difficult to take care of, and it will be even more difficult.
.Furthermore, our army still doesn’t know where the Tang army is? Who is the leading general? How can we send troops without permission?"
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately sighed. After hearing what Gar Qin Ling said, they all knew that Gar Qin Ling had carefully considered it, and they were immediately convinced. However, they were really unwilling to lose 10,000 troops in vain, so
There was strong unwillingness in his eyes.
In fact, why would Galqin Ling be willing to do so? His fourth brother died, and none of his 10,000-strong army survived. It is also possible that his third brother and his 200,000-strong army were also wiped out. How deep should such hatred be?
?But the more this happens, the less he can move. As a famous general, he must first stay calm. He must figure out what kind of strength the new Tang army has? Who is its leader? What are its personality traits? What are its characteristics?
What are the strengths and weaknesses? Only by knowing oneself and the enemy can it be possible to defeat the opponent. But fighting a war when everything is unknown will result in inevitable defeat.
Therefore, Garqinling decided to send spies to find out the true status of this Tang army before making a decision. However, what surprised him was that he sent out more than a dozen waves of spies in one day, but no one came back to report the news. He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
An ominous premonition emerged.
Facts have proved that Gar Qinling's worries were not unnecessary. The next day, after he sent experts from the Resa Temple (later the Jokhang Temple) to inquire about the news, he finally got the news.
The dozen or so waves of spies sent out were all killed. The person who killed them was a young master. That man was better than these masters of Jasa Temple in terms of light kung fu and martial arts, and even the one who came back.
A master from Rasa Temple managed to escape after three of his companions were killed and he was seriously injured.
But what made Garqin Ling regretful was that, apart from roughly knowing where the Tang army camped, he knew nothing about the other conditions of the Tang army.
"I really didn't expect that the famous generals of the Tang Army would be so terrifying. The intentions of such a tight seal on the news can be imagined. If we want to know the details, we will have to send a large army to go. But if we really send troops to go, I'm afraid
We will just fall into his trap. We'd better be calm and hold our troops for the time being. I believe it won't take long before the Tang army will take the initiative to attack us, and by then, it won't be too late for us to attack again.
.”
Gal Qin Ling is definitely a general who knows how to be patient, and his countermeasures are also the most appropriate. Unfortunately, his opponent Li Xian took advantage of his caution and forbearance, taking advantage of the precious opportunity of Gal Qin Ling's forbearance.
The rush to repair the camp turned out to be as solid as a rock. Coupled with its unique terrain, even if a hundred thousand troops were sent to capture the Garqin Tomb, it would not be easy to capture it.
If Gal Qinling knew that he missed the only chance to make a comeback in this war, I wonder what kind of complicated mood he would have?
The facts turned out to be as expected by Garqin Ling. At this time, Li Xian did get in touch with Xue Rengui. He learned that Xue Rengui's ability to capture Wuhai was actually a trap of Garqin Ling. It turned out that Garqin Ling had already
Anticipating that Xue Rengui would do something like this, he deliberately allowed Xue Rengui to win a big victory, sacrificing thousands of troops and more than 10,000 cattle and sheep in exchange for Xue Rengui attacking Wuhai, and then divided his troops to attack Wuhai City and the garrison where Xue Rengui was stationed.
The Tang army was heavily encamped in Dafeichuan. After Xue Rengui learned about the plot of Garqin Mausoleum, he once wanted to abandon Wuhai and return to Dafeichuan.
However, at this time, he received the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, and learned through Zhang Wuchen, the general of Li Xian's army who came to contact him, that Li Xian actually defeated 200,000 Tibetan troops and burned the 200,000 troops into a huge fire.
Later, he burned down the Calabash Valley to dampen the spirit of the Galqin Mausoleum. At the same time, he gained precious time for repairing the camp, and he suddenly felt at peace.
"Haha, this time the king used fire twice, which can be said to have created a miracle. It will definitely be recorded in the annals of history like the burning of Chibi and the battle of Xiaoting. I, the Tang Dynasty, have such a general, what else can I ask for? In this way,
The war situation has turned around. Our Tang Dynasty can definitely regain the four towns of Anxi and take the opportunity to bring Tuyuhun under its rule. Moreover, it is not the kind of tyranny. Li Gong was indeed not wrong about the person at the beginning. It is just that the king has done so much. Will the Xuanwu Gate be staged?
Story? If you think about it more deeply, if a figure like Tang Taizong really appeared in the Tang Dynasty, it wouldn't be a bad thing. At least he would be many times stronger than the weak Jin Shang..."
After thinking of this, Xue Rengui suddenly didn't dare to think about it any more. He could only decide to put this matter aside and think about it later. Anyway, the emperor was in his prime, the generals in the court were all loyal, and the king of Zhou was filial. In a short time, he would definitely
Nothing like the Xuanwu Gate Incident will happen.
After thinking about it for a while, Xue Rengui wrote a letter to Li Xian, suggesting that Li Xian should not take the initiative to attack, but just stick to the camp and form horns with Wuhai City. If Tubo attacked Wuhai, Li Xian would attack his camp, and Tubo would attack Li Xian.
Obviously, Xue Rengui attacked his camp and believed that he would not be able to go to the Garqin Mausoleum. Instead, he wasted food and grass here, and in the end he had no choice but to retreat.
Xue Rengui's ideas coincided with those of Li Xian. They knew that with the powerful military strength of Gar Qinling, even if Li Xian and Xue Rengui attacked from behind, they might not be able to win. Even if they win, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, so
The best way is to hold on like this, wait for the attack, and force the Gar Qinling to retreat.
In fact, Gal Qinling also knew about Tang Jun's plan, but even though he knew it, he had no way to solve it, because neither Xue Rengui nor Li Xian, the mysterious guy, was obviously a short-witted person, and he had no way to lure him.
Let the other party take the initiative to attack, and as long as the other party stands firm, he has no countermeasures at all.
In addition, the biggest trouble caused by Li Xianheng in the rear of the Tibetan army was that the Tibetan army's food route was cut off since then, because the location of the Tang army's military camp was the only place where the Tibetan army transported food and soldiers. As long as the Tibetan army
If the grain transport soldiers of the army want to transport grain, they will definitely be plundered by Li Xian's army. This makes it impossible for the confrontation in the Garqin Mausoleum. Because once the grain and grass are cut off, it will be a steel army.
It will definitely collapse without a fight.
Therefore, Galqinling carefully considered it for several days and finally decided to withdraw.
"Send my general order to assemble the three armies and retreat immediately." To Li Xian, Gar Qinling was as disgusting as eating a fly, but he knew that he was unable to deal with the opponent now, so he had to suppress the nausea in his heart and ordered
The three armies retreated and gave up on Tuyuhun, which they were about to capture.
"Ah? General, we have worked so hard to achieve today's results, why do we give up like this? Once we give up, I am afraid that the decades of planning for the Western Regions will turn into water, so I will be bold and ask you, General
You must not give up. Your Majesty only needs to divide our army into two parts. One part is led by the general to guard against the Tang Army in Wuhai, and the other part is led by the junior general to attack the Tang Army's supply camp. I believe that as long as you give me a hundred thousand troops, we will definitely win.
If the Tang army fails to capture the baggage camp within a month, the general will be willing to sacrifice his head under his tent."
Su Hegui was shocked when he saw that Gar Qinling wanted to give up. In his desperation, he ignored the etiquette and grabbed the sleeves of Garqinling and said loudly.
But I saw Gar Qinling sighing and saying slowly: "General Su underestimated the Tang army in the transport camp. When my third brother led an army of 200,000 to attack his camp, what was the result? My third brother's military strength
Compared to your 100,000-strong army, my third brother is also stronger than you in terms of the art of attacking cities and territories. Even so, in the end, the entire army was wiped out and no armor was left. How could General Su be able to capture his camp? Retreat.
Ten thousand steps said, even if the general captured the Tang army's camp, I still managed to hold off the attack of Xue Rengui's army, and our army would inevitably suffer heavy losses. Now I only have this 200,000-strong army in Tubo. If we lose too much, we still can't.
What strength can further expand? Although the Tang army was defeated, it was able to gather strength again. In this way, our army is destined to be defeated. Therefore, in my opinion, our army might as well preserve its strength and return home for the time being.
We can take the opportunity to conquer the Western Region in the future."
"This, this... I, Su Hegui, have been planning hard for many years. I originally wanted to exchange the land of Tuyuhun for a lifetime of wealth, and at the same time use my own prestige to control Tuyuhun and realize my lifelong wish. Who knows that this move was abandoned halfway and was destroyed by an unknown person?"
It is said that in the hands of the generals of the Tang Dynasty, our army was burned twice, and the soldiers lost 210,000. Such a crazy move is a famous general in ancient times. How many people can do it? Could it be that God has blessed the Tang Dynasty, and I am the most noble one?
The plan is destined to fail?" Although Su Hegui was full of reluctance, what Gal Qinling said was very reasonable, so he had no choice but to sigh deeply and carry out the order helplessly.
Shortly after the Garqin Mausoleum issued the order to withdraw troops, someone reported the news to Li Xian. After hearing this, Li Xian was not surprised at all, but said with a smile: "The Garqin Mausoleum is worthy of being regarded as the most powerful military force in modern times.
Famous generals can actually make the most appropriate choice at any time, but I have taken the advantage, and you are Zhuge's rebirth, and you can only suffer another failure this time." (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
