On October 12, the third year of Xianheng, Gar Qinling personally led a main army of 140,000 to the Tang army camp to invite the battle all day long. The Tang army did not leave, but only responded to the persistence of the camp. By the sunset, the Tubo army pretended to return.
In fact, the camp took advantage of the situation to withdraw its troops, and the Tang army did not chase after them. Li Xian ordered the Tang army everywhere not to attack without authorization, and allowed the main army of Tubo to join Gar? Zanpo's troops to withdraw 60,000 troops back to Tuyuhun. At this point, it took one month and two days.
The battle of Hezhou has officially come to an end. In this battle, more than 8,700 Tang army suffered casualties, and Anxiangcheng was robbed. Under the tragedy of the war, the four prefectures of Qinghai were destroyed, but they wiped out more than 70,000 Tubo troops.
The casualties ratio reached almost 1 to 10, and the result of a series of fierce battles ended with a great victory in the Tang army.
The battle finally won. Although the process was extremely difficult, it was a blessing after all. The three armies were filled with joy, but Li Xian was not very happy and was a little upset, just because
The aftermath is really not worry-free. I won’t talk about the losses in the wars of the states. The issue of food and fodder alone made Li Xian very upset. Perhaps because the war over the past month was about to come down, the food reserves in Hexi have already been
All the food and fodder left was only enough for each state for one month. As for the food allocated to the other end of the court, it was impossible to rely on the summer grain transported from Jiangnan to Luoyang.
Even if the other end of the court allocates grain for Hexi as soon as possible, it will not arrive next spring, not to mention that the two major factors of Empress Wu and Prince are, when will the grain be delivered? I am afraid that only the genius will be able to arrive.
Know.
Food and fodder are lifelines, and they are definitely inseparable. Since the court cannot be counted on, Li Xian had to think of another way. Fortunately, he had the money bag "Deng Ji Business" and the manpower and material resources for transportation.
There is no shortage, but winter is approaching, and the food and fodder that can be transported from the mainland is really limited, and it is not enough to cope with the whole winter in Hexi. However, with the good relationship with Anxi, Li Xian went from a high price to
The Turkic divisions bought some cattle and sheep, and finally managed to gather all the food and fodder in Hexi, which was a worry. However, Li Xian had sent the troops of various states and
When he returned to Lanzhou on October 25, he suddenly found that even greater trouble emerged again - Hexi Deputy Governor Qiu Shenjie, the new governor of Lanzhou, Liu Yi, brought a dog tail besides the third King of Yue Li Zhen
Zi Li Wen arrived together!
"Call them in!"
Li Xian had just returned to the temporary palace and had not finished drinking a cup of tea. When he heard Liu Ziming come to report the arrival of the three of them, he felt impatient in his heart, but he had to give an explanation for his face, and he had no choice but to do anything.
I could only suppress my boredom, frowned slightly and ordered.
"promise!"
Liu Ziming has been following Li Xian for a long time, and he could feel Li Xian's displeasure. He dared not neglect it. He responded quickly and hurriedly left the mansion. Without counting the breath, he accompanied the three visitors in.
.
"I have met Brother Ying Wang. My brother won the Tubo this time and his reputation has spread all over the world. I have never been able to promote my brother's name along the way. Unfortunately, I came a little late and failed to catch up. It's a pity that I'm sorry I'm not able to catch up.
One piece!"
Among the three, Li Wen was the youngest and had the lowest official position, but the biggest aura, without any humility, and walked first. As soon as he saw Li Xian, he was hip-hop, and the other side was as if no one was around.
shape.
"My Win has been awarded a little bit of a small group of people, it's really not worth mentioning. My Win has been in trouble all the way. Come and see the seat!"
Li Xian really lacked the favor of Li Wen, a reckless guy, but he was too lazy to see him. He just laughed and replied casually.
"Ha, Brother Xie!"
Li Wen was familiar with him all the time, and he didn't even want to see Li Xian. He thanked him casually, walked to the back of the few sons beside him, lifted the hem of his robe, and smiled.
Has a seat.
"The last general (lower official) see Your Highness!"
Qiu and Liu did not dare to be as casual as Li Wen. Until the two brothers stopped socializing, they came up carefully and greeted each other with their own greetings.
"No need to be polite. General Qiu and Lord Liu, please take your seat."
The two of them in front of him were both the hard-core confidants of the Empress of Wu. Naturally, they were not as good as they came to Hexi. Li Xian knew this very well, but he was too lazy to say it out loud. He just raised his hand gently and gave a calm command.
A group of servants from the royal palace rushed to deliver a few pieces, cushions and other items, and served them with newly brewed fragrant tea, and then they bowed and left the lobby.
"Brother Yingwang, when I left the capital, Your Majesty gave me an order, saying that I would ask Brother Yingwang to arrange a place for me. Hehe, I don't know how to do it, but I can fight a few more times. I will give you a state of soldiers.
But, the younger brother next to him didn't ask too much. I thought I wouldn't let my younger brother down?" The servants just stepped down, and Li Wen couldn't wait to speak first. The lion opened his mouth wide and wanted to sit in a state.
The position of the chief general.
Can you fight? With your kid's ability, let alone going into battle, I'm afraid I can't even take the soldiers, and I'm a waste of it! When I heard Li Wen say so lightly, Li Xian didn't swallow a sip of tea and almost choked
, looked at Li Wen with anger and amused look, really not knowing where this guy got so confident.
"Report to Your Highness, I will send a letter from the Ministry of War here. I will be the deputy governor of Hexi and take over the position of the chief marching officer of Wuhaidao. He Li has served as the post of all the positions. The last general is a newcomer and is not familiar with the military situation. If he can get Li
General Wen can help you, and you may get started as soon as possible. Please forgive me!" Before Li Xian could speak, Qiu Shenjie, who was sitting next to him, had already proposed with a solemn expression.
Haha, how to calculate, amazing, amazing! Li Xian is so smart, he already knew the concern here at just one's ears - the area under the jurisdiction of Qibian Heli is the six surroundings centered on Lanzhou
If Qiu Shenjie had mastered this part of the military power, and the governor of Lanzhou was Liu Yizhi, Li Xian's hands and feet were immediately tied up half of them, and Li Wen, a guy who kept calm, was there.
Li Xian must not be completely emptied. Not to mention the major events in Hexi, even his wealth and life must be questioned. There is no doubt that this matter must be caused by the mutual engagement between Empress Wu and King Yue!
"Since General Qiu came with the order, he was alone and he was not unwilling to accept it. General Qiu's intention to be loyal to the country is not good, but the war is gone now, and all parties have many hands, and the Tubo defeated troops are still in the four towns.
The crime was committed by the Bali, and the local area was difficult to say. The sudden change of generals may be unfavorable to the military situation. It would be better to pass this hurdle and take over again. I wonder what General Qiu wanted to do?"
Although he knew that Qiu Shenji had a bad intention, he held the imperial edict and the Ministry of War's transfer letter. For the sake of great face, Li Xian could not explicitly oppose him taking over the military power. So he pondered for a moment and gave a suggestion.
"Your Highness clearly understands that appeasement is the responsibility of the general. Since the last general has been trusted by the emperor, he dare not take it lightly. However, he is a mere defeated army. The last general dares not take it on others. I would like to ask Your Highness to do it!"
Qiu Shenji was ordered to come here to see Li Xian's separation, not to mention that he and Li Xian still have a grudge against killing his brother, so he is even more reluctant to obey Li Xian's dispatch. At this moment, he heard Li Xian's words. With obvious intention of delaying the troops, he immediately rushed back with a calm and tough voice, clearly not showing mercy to Li Xian.
"Brother Yingwang, I didn't catch up with the battle, so I left the matter of bandit suppression to me. With General Qiu on my side, I couldn't make any mistakes about my brother's affairs. Please rest assured." Li Wen obviously had a trap with Qiu Shenji. Regardless of what Li Xian thought, he came out from the side and asked for orders with a big thorn.
"Well, okay, since both Wen and General Qiu are so confident, how can I not agree? This matter is settled so that the military situation is like fire and there is no need to delay it. It would be better to hand over this matter earlier!" Li Xian said Although I was angry, I didn't care too much. So I took a stance of appreciation, gave a few shots, and immediately raised my tone and shouted: "Zi Ming!"
"The last one will be here!"
When he heard Li Xian's call, Liu Ziming, who was standing in the lobby, dared not neglect it. He rushed to the lobby with several big strodes and bowed to answer.
"You held my command arrow and immediately accompanied General Qiu and Wendi to the camp in the west of the city to find General Qiezi, and handled the matters of taking over."
Li Xian stood up calmly, walked to the copywriting room beside him, took out a command arrow from the signboard placed on the table, lifted it under his hands, weighed it a few times, and ordered quietly.
"No, I will receive the order!"
Since Li Xian had issued an order, Liu Ziming dared not refuse, so he respectfully took the order arrow with both hands. After answering, he strode to Qiu, Li and his two sons, waved his hand and said: Two generals, please!"
Qiu and Li obviously did not expect that Li Xian agreed to his request so readily. For a moment, he couldn't react. After looking at each other for a while, he stood up suspiciously. They bowed to thank Li Xian for a few words, but did not delay any further. Some of them were impatient and followed Liu Ziming out of the mansion and drove to the camp in the west of the city.
"Mr. Liu, it's been a long time since I saw you, so that's always good?"
Li Xian didn't seem to care about Qiu at all. The movements of Li and the others were calm and calm. He turned his head to look at Liu Yizhi who was sitting next to him silently, and asked with a smile.
"For your blessing, all your honor is fine."
Liu Yizhi was successful in his youth and was originally an extremely proud person. However, he was punished very badly during the struggle between the two years ago. Now he has long disappeared from his original arrogance. He has a little more calm and steady demeanor. He is extremely cautious at every glance. When answering Li Xian's words, he was concise and concise, and he was very proud of his words as if he was like gold. Obviously, he did not intend to have a deep conversation with Li Xian.
"Well, that's good. It's getting late. Lord Liu will accompany me to have lunch. I will invite the governor of the king and let me hand over it in my palace. "Li Xian didn't care about Liu Yizhi's obsceneness at all, and made a suggestion with a smile.
"In this way, I'll beg your Highness."
Li Xian had already said this. Liu Yizhi didn't dare to refuse to obey. His expression changed a few times quickly, bowed respectfully, and agreed carefully...
