Two hundred and twenty seventh chapters before the two armies
Li Xian and Wang Fangyi talked in the tent for more than an hour, which made Wang Fangyi's guards feel a little unbelievable, because as Wang Fangyi's personal followers and the family slaves of the Wang family in Taiyuan, they naturally knew that their generals hated Empress Wu.
, and also knew that his general would never treat Empress Wu's sons with pretense because of this. Even if the other party solved the siege of Shancheng, it was all business and not a matter of personal friendship. In addition, the business affairs just discussed, regardless of
No matter how you think about it, it is impossible for you to have anything special to say to Li Xian. As for talking for such a long time, it is absolutely impossible.
But such an impossible thing happened, which is really shocking.
Just as they were waiting anxiously, the big tent was finally opened, and Li Xian and Wang Fangyi walked out together. Although the two seemed very polite, everyone found that the two of them were very different from each other.
There seems to be quite a gap.
Only then did Wang Fangyi's close guards think it was normal.
Even so, they were still wondering what the two people had been saying together for more than an hour. Then Wang Hu, the captain of Wang Fangyi's personal soldiers, asked himself about his deep relationship with the general, and finally couldn't help but ask about it.
But I heard Wang Fangyi say calmly: "I just discussed the current military situation, but I didn't say anything useful, but no matter what, I will still cooperate with him to fight this battle. After all, this is official business, and the emperor has nothing to do with me."
The kindness is as heavy as a mountain, no matter how aggrieved I, Wang Fangyi, am, I cannot use personal power to abolish public service."
"My uncle is right. What my nephew admires the most is someone like him who distinguishes between public and private affairs." Wang Hu was originally a distant nephew of Wang Fangyi. Although his family lineage belonged to the Wang family in Taiyuan, it was already a branch of the family.
It had long been in decline, so as a last resort, he joined the army with Wang Fangyi. Over the years, he also practiced martial arts and became the captain of Wang Fangyi's personal soldiers.
At the same time, Wang Hu was influenced by Wang Fangyi and was quite upright, so he listened to what Wang Fangyi said and praised him sincerely.
Although Wang Hu can be regarded as an absolutely trusted confidant, Wang Fangyi did not reveal any of his previous conversation with Li Xian. In his opinion, his life was nothing, but if it caused Li Xian
If it adversely affects Li Xian and prevents him from resisting Empress Wu and defending the Tang Dynasty, he will become a sinner through the ages. Even if he dies in the future, he will have no shame to see those wronged souls underground, let alone his cousin Wang.
Queen.
On the second day after the siege of Shancheng was lifted, Wang Xiaojie, the deputy general manager of the march on Taohe Road, led 6,000 troops to the military camp outside Shancheng. Half a month later, Liu Shenli, the deputy general manager of the march on Taohe Road and Minister of Industry, led three soldiers
More than 10,000 troops and a large amount of food and supplies arrived in Shancheng. This finally solved the problem of food and grass needed by the army.
And the total number of troops under Li Xian finally reached 100,000!
Although there seemed to be a large number of people, compared to the more than 200,000 troops in the Garqin Mausoleum, Li Xian's soldiers and horses still accounted for a small number, but even so, Li Xian decided to launch a counterattack against Tubo.
On the fifth day of April in the third year of Yifeng in the Tang Dynasty, Li Xian summoned all the generals in Shancheng and the military camps outside the city to hold a military meeting. After discussion, it was decided that Liu Shenli would be left to command 10,000 troops to garrison Shancheng, while the rest of the generals would
Following Li Xian's army, he sent troops that day to launch a full-scale counterattack against the Tibetan army.
The army of the Tang Dynasty was personally led by Li Xian and divided into three armies: left, middle and right. The left army was led by Wang Xiaojie and led 20,000 troops. Its main task was to intercept the Tibetan grain road and make it difficult to hold on; the right army was led by Wang Fangyi.
As the commander, he also led an army of 20,000. The main task was to attack Wuhai in a distant area and cut off the connection between the four towns of Anxi and the Tuyuhun Tibetan army. The middle route army was personally led by Li Xian to attack the place where the Gar Qinling army was stationed.
Dafeichuan Military Camp.
Galqin Ling was also a famous Tubo general. He was defeated by Li Xian in a surprise attack and solved the siege of Shancheng. Knowing that it would be useless to continue fighting, he had no choice but to retreat with his troops. In his opinion, as long as he could defend Tuyuhun and Anxi Si
Zhen, his hard work in the past few months has not been in vain, and he has achieved his previous goal.
However, he also knew that Li Xian would never give up like that, so he immediately started building the fortress after retreating to Dafeichuan. After half a month of hard work, the entire fortress had been built as solid as a rock. I believe that even if
Even if an army of 200,000 people launches an attack together, it will be absolutely difficult to break through this strong camp.
However, Li Xian did not believe in evil and led his army here, and ordered people to build earthen hills and wells outside the camp with great fanfare. The purpose was naturally to see what was inside the camp. The Garqin Mausoleum itself had absolute military strength, so what?
How could Li Xian take advantage of this? So he led his army out to fight the next day.
In front of the two armies, Li Xian took the lead and came 500 steps away from the Tubo army. He shouted loudly: "I have heard for a long time that the Tibetan Prime Minister Gar Qinling is a famous general in the world. Do you dare to come out and meet me?"
As soon as Li Xian finished speaking, he saw a horse riding out of the crowd and came two hundred steps away from Li Xian. He laughed loudly and said: "I have always heard of the young hero of the King of Zhou Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that I have never seen him. Today I finally saw him."
When it comes to real people, what he is holding is a jade tree facing the wind, a handsome and handsome young man."
But he heard Li Xian snort coldly: "Gar Qinling, eight years ago your army was defeated and you used tricks to force me to retreat. Before the two sides negotiated a peace, you retreated to the border and did not dare to do it again. Why did you betray your trust and lead the army again this year?"
The army is attacking our country, the Tang Dynasty. Instead of remembering our old friendship, you are fighting with each other. You are really ungrateful people. How can you have the dignity to stand here with me today?"
Gar Qin Ling laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "What the king said is very strange. The one who betrayed his trust first must be his subordinates, right? When we negotiated peace, the Tang Dynasty did not return the captives as agreed, but instead took tens of thousands of Tibetan captives into a trap.
Killing, such behavior is outrageous. It is precisely because we, Tibetans, are so cruel and unsatisfied that we raise troops to invade and seek justice for my innocent soldiers who were framed and killed. If you personally apologize to my innocent soldiers and agree to
Give me the western area from Liangzhou to Shancheng to Tibet as an apology, and our army will abide by its promise and will not invade the Tang Dynasty within ten years."
But Li Xian sneered and said: "Toad yawned so loudly. Your appetite is not small, and I'm not afraid of eating you to death? You want me to agree, as long as you agree to cede the Tubo love to me first."
Tang, if you and your Zanpu become hostages in my Chang'an, I will be satisfied with you."
"What do you mean by this is that there is no other way for you and me to fight apart from fighting? In this case, there is no point in the war of words between you and me, and we can simply decide the winner on the battlefield.
