Chapter 970: Songtsen Gampo is coming

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, the whole Shancheng ran as usual, people came and went, and the people's lives seemed to return to the previous state.

All this is due to Li Chengqian's effective policy, and it is also people's trust in Datang Iron Cavalry. How is it possible to restore the usual economic order.

Of course, this is all Li Chengqian needs to do, because it will only wait for Songtsen Gampo to appear. can let him completely dispel his doubts, so it will definitely have a miraculous effect.

At the same time, the south gate was also repaired overnight, although it is not as good as before, but it is also very good on the surface.

Some places that can't be repaired can be directly covered with things, waiting for the final result, and then repairing, after all, some small actions may cause some unnecessary trouble, and when the time comes, it may be wrong, Li Chengqian wants to let all this be under his control!

As far as he knows, Cheng Yanjin is coming to Hezhou with an army of 300,000, and this time Li Shimin seems to have become more concerned, and he even came with an army of 300,000, which may not be able to save face, or because Tubo's behavior is too angry.

Regarding the follow-up issue of Tubo, a large number of soldiers and horses may have to be dealt with, this is what Li Shimin thinks in his heart, but no matter how he thinks about it, it seems that it is not about Li Chengqian.

He only needs to manage how to catch Songtsen Gampo.

At this time, Li Chengqian had just had breakfast, and Su Lie came in to report: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we have found traces of the enemy fifty miles to the west!" They will be in the city by noon! ”

It's coming, it's okay at this speed!

"Oh? It's a little faster than expected, how many of them are there at this point? ”

According to the intelligence, Li Chengqian knew the number of the other party, and it was still too early to confirm it.

"As far as we know, the advance army is about 100,000 people, and the rear army is 400,000! Songtsen Gampo is in the march! ”

The army is generally divided into the vanguard and the rear army.

The vanguard generally fights first, and more than half of the main force in the rear carries baggage supplies and other items, so the speed cannot be improved.

In terms of the current situation, Li Chengqian guessed.

"This Songtsen Gampo is also too hasty! It is not in the main force, but in the vanguard, in this case, I am afraid that things will not be easy to do! ”

Li Chengqian was also thinking about what to do at noon.

Regarding the arrival of Songtsen Gampo, yesterday he thought of a few countermeasures, and now it has to be decided according to the actual situation.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why is this?"

李成干 says:

"Think about it, if Songtsen Gampo is among the main forces, as long as we bring the vanguard army into the city to kill him, as soon as his main force comes, he will not know what happened, and when the time comes, if we bring him into the city, the main force will definitely not be able to. But Songtsen Gampo was among the vanguard, and he was most afraid that they would find out in advance and send the main force to attack us. ”

Songtsen Gampo is very clever, if he finds danger, the vanguard of 100,000 troops will definitely protect him, if so, it will be difficult to fight later, unless he takes a risk.

But the price to pay for such an adventure is too great.

"Our army doesn't have to be afraid of them, we can still repel them!"

Su Lie said.

"It can be, but it's just ......"

"Just what?"

"It's just that some soldiers may be lost! If we can lose a little less, we must find out how best to deal with it. ”

Li Chengqian said.

This is bound to be lost, after all, the other side is coming with a huge number of troops, not 50,000 as little, and there will always be losses in a war, which is also a normal thing.

It only depends on what you do to minimize the loss, and Li Chengqian's idea is to make the loss smaller.

"However, we have no other way, do we want Songtsen Gampo to go back to the main force?"

"Maybe we can do that!"

Li Chengqian suddenly remembered.

Then Su Lie asked, "What way?" ”

"Let Wang Xuance, Cheng Chumo, and Fang Yi come over directly!"

Su Lie didn't dare to slack off, and immediately went down to summon the three of them.

A moment later, the four of them came to see Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian looked at the four of them and began to say: "Now our army still has more than 36,000 people to use, and now this king has divided these troops into three groups, with 12,000 people in each team. ”

Wang Xuance asked: "There are four of us, why are there three dials?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Cheng Chumo's face was not good, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that I am not qualified, so there are only three groups of people, and they will be led by you!" ”

Li Chengqian glanced at Cheng Chumo.

"Who told you?"

"What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean?"

"Fuck off, when did this king say it?"

These words made Cheng Chumo a little embarrassed.

He didn't dare to say anything more.

Then Li Chengqian didn't pay any attention to him, but said: "These three groups of men and horses are ambushed by Su Lie with a team in the north, and Wang Xuance with a team in the south in an ambush. Su Lie is responsible for fighting the main force, while Wang Xuance is the vanguard, and if necessary, supporting Su Lie! ”

At this time, Fang Yu asked directly: "What about us?" ”

Li Chengqian glanced at the two of them.

"The two of you are guarding the city with this king, and if you see Songtsen Gampo, you two will cut off the relationship between his vanguard and him! Wipe out Songtsen Gampo! ”

The two didn't dare to say no, so they responded directly!

After all, the words of the crown prince now are like holy decrees, no one dares to disobey, and what he says, people have to do.

"Okay, Su Lie, you two go and prepare!"

"Yes!"

Su Lie and the two left.

"As for the two of you, leave 10,000 to guard the west gate, and the other 2,000 to guard the other gates, in case anything happens!"

"And when are we going to start?"

Cheng asked silently.

"Now!"

"Yes!"

The two of them went out in high spirits.

Along the way, Cheng Chumo was a little excited.

"I thought His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never give me a task again, it seems that I was wrong!"

"I said it, you behave well, and strive to make merit outweigh, so that you won't be punished!"

"That's right, this time is also an opportunity, then Songtsen Gampo is the object of my experiment!"

"No matter what, you have to be careful at all times, so that you don't commit another great sin because of this!"

Fang Zhizhi said.

"I will, all this will not disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince, my father is still waiting for me to make a contribution!"

"Let's work together!"

The two encouraged each other.

Then he went down and got ready, and as for the Lun Keer in the prison, Li Chengqian also sent someone to go at this time.

This sent people to go, and the result made Li Chengqian a little depressed.

This guy is really a ruthless person!
