Li De drove his war horse to the gate of the General of the Right Guard's Mansion like a gust of wind, threw the saddle and dismounted, and a guard had already greeted him, threw the reins of the horse to the soldiers, and strode towards the door.

Another Zhonglang general Yang Xing also arrived at this time, and the two smiled and bowed their hands to each other, saying that they had not seen each other for a long time.

Although they are all Zhonglang generals, Li De's status and power as Zhonglang generals are much higher than Yang Xing.

"General Li, save Tiande!" Li De, who was about to enter the door, was startled by a sudden miserable howl, turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came, and saw a person who turned out from behind the huge stone lion at the entrance of the general's mansion, with his head raised high and wanted to rush over, but he was pulled out by the guards.

Since Zhang Jia didn't want to see it, Li De didn't want to do much, and the two of them walked into the door quickly, and the door was closed tightly with a bang, but the roar still came faintly from outside the door.

"The people over there?" Li De asked.

"It should be!" Yang Xing said with a smile. "I usually don't burn incense, I cram Buddha's feet temporarily, what's the use of coming to us at this time?"

Li De nodded: "Yes." I have told them a long time ago to be careful, as the wind in our ears, this time we have suffered a big loss, and we should know that we are a good heart. ”

"It's too late to know!" Yang Xing was excited: "It's okay if these-stirring sticks are gone, a place like Hetao and anointed land, falling under the control of these people, is simply a tyrannical thing, and when we get it, whether it's grazing or reclamation, in short, we can create another one to plug the south of the Yangtze River." ”

As he spoke, the two stepped into the lobby, in addition to Zhang Jia, the general of the Wuwei Army, and Xu Ziyuan, the assassin of Shuozhou, there were many Lang generals, tooth generals, and school captains who had already sat inside.

Zhang Jia nodded at the two, pointed to the two positions on the right and motioned for the two to sit down, and said, "Presumably on the way, you already have a general understanding of the situation, as Li Xiang expected, the Tubo people invaded. It was a little earlier than we thought, so the situation was a little worse, according to the information we have so far, ten days ago, a Tibetan army under the command of Delhi China had arrived in the Western Surrender City, and in view of the current situation of the troops in the Western Surrender City, I think that the Western Surrender City should have fallen into the hands of the Tibetans by now. The geographical location of the city of Xishou is important, and it guards the north and south points, and if it is lost, the entire gate will also be opened by the Tibetans. ”

Li De said: "General, the people of Tiande are crying outside!" What do they want to do? ”

"What else can I do? Of course, I hope that we will send troops to support us immediately. Zhang Jia sneered: "After Peng Fang learned the news of the large-scale invasion of the Tubo people, he hurriedly led the main force back to Zhongshou City. However, after the loss of the surrendered city in the west, the surrendered city in the middle will inevitably be in danger. ”

"This is our chance." Li De said excitedly.

"Of course. This is our chance to solve Tiande in one fell swoop. Xu Ziyuan stood up and said: "Li Xiang has always hoped to open up the passage of the Western Regions and reopen the Silk Road, but because of the Tiande blocking it, after passing the western surrender city and moving forward, the influence of the Tubo people is extremely great, and this time is the best time to solve these two troubles in one fell swoop." ”

"What are we going to do?" Yang Xing asked.

Zhang Jiadao: "Obviously, this Tubo invasion will not be an attack on one side alone, although there is no intelligence in the direction of Ansui, but since our direction is Delhi Chinan, in the direction of Ansui it should be the main force led by their great Tocharo." An Sui, like Tiande, did not believe that the Tibetans would attack them, and now that the blow came suddenly, he was afraid that he would suffer heavy losses. ”

"But we don't have to worry about the direction of Ansui first, even if there is something over there, it is the Hedong side, what we have to do is to eat Tiande by the way on the basis of defeating Delhi Chinan." Xu Ziyuan said with a smile.

"How?" Li De was concise and to the point.

"I'm afraid the Tibetan people can't imagine that we have been waiting for this day for a long time. Their wishful thinking is to take the whole territory of Tiande with this sneak attack, and then there will be a few months of rest and recuperation, after all, it will be spring ploughing soon, and they think that we will not be able to spare enough troops and enough energy to deal with it, so they can prepare for war with us in good order. Zhang Jia sneered: "It's a pity that Li Xiang has no last resort, whether it is Hedong or our Shuozhou, he has already made preparations, this time, we will let him come and go." ”

The room resounded with the cheerful laughter of a group of generals.

"Of course, it's still quite good for the Tibetans to fight, so don't underestimate them. Li De, the most difficult battle, I'm going to let you go, how about it? Zhang Jia asked with a smile.

"General, please command!" Li Dehuo Ran stood up.

"You have 3,000 rangers under your command, and I will take the 5,000 cavalry of the Chinese army headquarters with you, including 3,000 Khitan Hu cavalry." Zhang Jiadao: "A total of 8,000 cavalry, you have to make a detour through Ordos, avoid the main force of Delhi Chinan, go straight to the west of the surrender city, and take back the west surrender city with lightning speed, and close the west gate." ”

Li De glanced up at the map, this time, the task of fighting is still second, and the most critical thing is to march. "How to solve the problem of army food and grass? Since you want speed, you can't bring too much grain and grass. ”

"Everyone carries ten days' worth of dry food, and the rest is settled on the spot." Zhang Jia said without the slightest emotion: "It's not our people there yet, so it doesn't matter. ”

"I see." Li Dedao: "I was originally a ranger, and this time, I went back to my old job." Don't worry, the general will surrender to the west, and I will defend it well for you. ”

"Yang Xing, you lead your headquarters to arrive at the East Surrender City as quickly as possible, and take it for me!" Zhang Jiadao.

"General, the city of Dongshou will definitely still be in the hands of the Tiande army at that time, what should I do if they don't let it?" Yang Xing asked.

Zhang Jia's eyes showed a fierce light: "They will either submit or die." ”

Zhang Jia said this, and Yang Xing stopped talking.

"I will lead the main force of the right military guard, and slowly drive to the Zhongshou surrender city, hoping that Peng Fang will fight a little, when I arrive, the Zhongshou surrender city has not been broken by the Tubo people, so we will save some effort." Zhang Jiadao.

"Regardless of whether the city is broken or not, I don't think Peng Fang will have to survive anymore." Xu Ziyuan on the side said leisurely.

Zhang Jia smiled: "Xu Tingshi, rest assured, Peng Fang will definitely die in the hands of the Tubo people." I won't trouble Li Xiang! ”

Xu Ziyuan and Zhang Jia were ruthless, and they didn't care about the life and death of the town guards in one place, and the other generals in the house just didn't hear it. Tiande has collapsed, Peng Fang, as the supreme commander of Tiande, naturally has no reason to survive anymore, if he lives, it will only be trouble. Only when he is dead can Zhenzhou pursue his own policies on this land without scruples.

"Xu Tingshi, I'm afraid you'll be busy next." Zhang Jia looked at Xu Ziyuan with a smile.

Xu Ziyuan smiled and sighed: "Yes, yes, but fortunately, we have long been prepared for this war, armaments, food and salaries are not worried, what I am worried about now is that there will inevitably be a large number of Tiande refugees pouring into our Shuozhou next, these people can't be ignored, otherwise there will be chaos, and then spring ploughing is coming, the front war needs a large number of people, spring ploughing does not dare to be a little lazy, not to mention, Tubo people are still very good at pinching time." ”

"Those who fled in can be organized to be people's husbands!" Zhang Jiadao: "Spring ploughing is related to whether we have a good time this year, and we dare not delay." ”

"The general doesn't have to worry about these things, you just need to win the battle." Xu Ziyuan raised his eyebrows.

Three days later, Yang Xing led 5,000 foot soldiers to the east to surrender the city.

Four days later, Li De led 8,000 cavalry and quietly left Shuozhou before dawn, and they would go around in a large circle and go straight to the city of Xishou. Whether Zhang Jia can bring the tens of thousands of Tubo coalition troops in Delhi to Chinan to close the door and beat the dogs depends on Li De's actions this time. And Li De's newlywed wife, Liu Xiaocian, is also draped all over her body, and her husband and wife are with her.

Five days later, Zhang Jia led the main force to slowly advance towards the surrendered city, and unlike Yang Xing and Li De, the main force led by Zhang Jia carried all the baggage and advanced at a rate of twenty to thirty miles a day.

When Zhang Jia's right guards entered the state of war in an all-round way, the messenger they reported to Wuyi had just rushed into the city of Wuyi, and the messenger from Hedong entered Wuyi with Zhang Jia's messenger.

The main forces of Tocharian launched a large-scale attack on Ansui.

"Childe, Gu Han has accompanied Zhang Zhongwen to Dezhou, and will go straight to Wuyi along the canal, ready to negotiate with us, at this time, if he knows that we are about to start a full-scale war with Tubo, I am afraid that he will sit on the ground and raise the price." Tian Bo looked at Li Ze at the top and said.

"Let Gao Lei and Wang Duo come forward to receive Zhang Zhongwen, and first settle them in Daqingshan Zhuangzi, my father and them are all old acquaintances, and when old acquaintances meet, they naturally have to talk about it more, in addition, strictly seal the news, and when I finish dealing with this matter, I will go there to discuss the matters of both sides with him." Li Ze thought for a moment and said. "Until we reach a comprehensive agreement with Zhang Zhongwen, don't let him and his entourage have contact with outsiders, and keep an eye on the internal guards."

"Yes." Tian Bodao.

"Besides, the fox's tail on the other side of the river is almost out of reach." Tian Bo said with a smile: "As long as they move, collusion with pseudo-Liang and Tubo will be ironclad." ”

"People who want to die, you really can't stop them, since they are bent on death, let them jump for a few more days!" Li Ze said coldly: "Ding Jian's actions in the river have completely left these people with no way to retreat, either surrender to us or fight to the death, but unfortunately, they chose the latter, then it is better to die." ”
