Time passed like running water, and it was three months in the blink of an eye.
During these three months, there was a long confrontation between Li Xian's Tang army and the Tibetan army at Garqinling. This confrontation was of course not a simple confrontation. During this period, there were also many offensive and defensive battles. These offensive and defensive battles
Although most of the battles were small-scale battles, there were also several large-scale battles.
However, whether it was a big battle or a small battle, the two sides seemed to have made an agreement and kept it until the end. There were very few casualties in these three months, and it looked like they were really competing for consumption.
But the calmer the situation is, the more strange it is in people's hearts. It is said that something abnormal is a monster. Neither Li Xian nor Gal Qinling is an ordinary person. No one is willing to have such an ordinary confrontation.
Going down, so to speak, they are all gaining momentum and preparing their back-up moves.
"Hey, when will these days end? The confrontation has been going on for three months now. During these three months, the casualties of our army and Tibet are negligible, but the consumption of food and grass is really too high.
It's too huge. If the king can't think of a way to win, it is estimated that the guys in Garqinling will implement counterintuitive tactics like last time and force the king back to Chang'an. By then, I am afraid that our Tang Dynasty Xijiang will give way.
This Garqin Mausoleum is everything you ask for." Gao Sheji, the captain of the soldiers on the side, saw that life was so dull and he wanted to fight but never got the chance, so he couldn't help complaining to Li Xian.
But I saw Li Xian laughing and saying: "She chicken, the more we are at this time, the less we can be impetuous, because although we seem to be in peace with each other, Gar Qinling is waiting for an opportunity, waiting for our army
When the morale of the army is slack and morale is declining, if they seize the opportunity, they may be able to turn defeat into victory. In fact, until now, the enemy has always had an absolute advantage, but they do not know the true strength of our army. In addition, due to previous defeats, the Tubo soldiers are worried
Because of fear, I didn’t dare to attack rashly. However, after these three months, I believe that Garqinling has been trying to find out the bottom of our army. Fortunately, I did not fully show my strength, which made this Garqinling feel worried.
I am afraid that I still cannot figure out the reality of our army, but according to my estimation, the time is indeed approaching. In addition, the reason why Garqin Ling dares to be so unscrupulous must also be based on something."
"Huh? I wonder what the support of this Garqin Mausoleum is? All his power is now here." Hearing this, Gao Sheji couldn't help but feel strange and asked.
When Li Xian heard this, he chuckled and said: "Who is Gar Qinling? This is a person who can instantly judge the situation and make the best decision. Now that his main force is trapped, he will definitely mobilize the troops from the four towns of Anxi.
He must return reinforcements at all costs to relieve the siege, but the current situation is not up to him, because his troops from the Four Towns of Anxi have been blocked by Wang Fangyi at the foot of Wuhai City, and it may not be a day's work to rescue them.
However, although he knew this, he did not dare to divide his troops to go to the rescue, because with the current morale of the Tubo army, unless he personally led the army, there was no hope of victory, but he did not dare to take this risk, because once
If he leaves, his camp will collapse in an instant; of course, the Garqin Mausoleum is definitely not one to rely on, otherwise it would not dare to confront our army so confidently."
"Ah? There's more than just this one to rely on? What else is there?" Gao Sheji couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.
At this time, I heard a middle-aged scholar in his forties not far away from Xian Xian chuckle and say: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to guess. Naturally, this Gar Qinling will recruit another large-scale army from the country.
Reinforcements were sent here to compete with the king, but according to time calculation, Tubo's reinforcements should have been mobilized and should arrive in another month or two. This is also the reason why the food and grass in the Garqin Mausoleum have been robbed several times.
Is it the main reason why he never retreated?"
"Ah? So that's what happened! Your Majesty, are the military counselors right?" Gao Sheji looked at the scribe with a look of respect.
Li Xian nodded when he heard this and said: "What Doctor Lou said is true. It is indeed true. The reason why the Garqin Mausoleum does not retreat is that after retreating, the battle is destined to be futile. Its prestige will be greatly reduced, and its status may also be reduced."
It will be shaken. This is what he relies on. However, if his two reinforcements want to break through the defense lines of the two generals Wang Fangyi and Wang Xiaojie, it will definitely not be easy. When we get there, what we should worry about most should be
It was the Gar Qin Ling who jumped over the wall and led his troops to surround General Wang Xiaojie. Therefore, we should always pay attention to the movements of the Gar Qin Ling army and send people to respond immediately to prevent General Wang Xiaojie from being attacked from both sides and suffering unnecessary losses.
.”
"But how can we respond in advance?" The "strategist", also known as "Doctor Lou", is named Lou Shide, and he is also a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. This man was born as a Jinshi and moved to Jiangdu County as a supervisor.
Censor, this time Tubo launched a large-scale attack. Emperor Gaozong ordered the recruitment of warriors in Henan and Hebei. Lou Shide went to recruit as a civil servant. Emperor Gaozong was overjoyed and awarded him the title of Chaosan Dafu and ordered him to accompany the army on the expedition.
Li Xian didn't know about this at the time. It wasn't until he saw the roster later that he discovered that there was such a talent in his account. He was overjoyed and directly worshiped him as his military advisor. Many of the strategies in this battle were made after Li Xian thought about it.
With Lou Shide's approval, some modifications were made.
Li Xian knew everything about his military advisor. He smiled and explained softly: "We only need to do this. General Wang Xiaojie will have a way to escape by then. Not only can he escape, he can also say
No, we can also stage an internal conflict, haha, but this matter needs to be kept strictly confidential. Even if we go to inform General Wang Xiaojie about it, we will have to spend a lot of effort to ensure that his spies will not find out."
Lou Shide also knew the elegant meaning after hearing the song, and said with a smile: "Then we should use the same method. As long as we are more careful, we can easily avoid the Tubo spies. I will leave this matter to the lower officials. Haha, I believe that by then
It will definitely give Garqin Mausoleum a surprise."
Li Xian also nodded when he heard this, and smiled lightly: "I don't know whether I am surprised or not, but I know that Gar Qinling's face will be very exciting when the time comes. Haha, after ten years of hard work, I lost my wife and lost my life."
Bing, I just don’t know if he, the prime minister, still has the dignity to continue doing this?”
"Hehe, I think the official thinks that the Gar Qin Ling will reluctantly continue to work. Of course, a hypocritical resignation letter is definitely required. However, the Tubo royal family and the close followers of the Gar Qin Ling will definitely be inseparable.
If he does this, it will be difficult for Garqinling to stop working!"
"Haha, Dr. Lou is indeed extraordinary, Xiao Wang thinks so too." Li Xian was also filled with admiration for Lou Shide's judgment and praised him quickly. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
