The Western Turkic messenger repeatedly persuaded him, but Li Xinzhong was also a master who didn't see rabbits and didn't scatter eagles, if he hadn't been beaten to the door by the Tang Dynasty, he didn't want to compromise with the Western Turkic barbarians at all.

In the end, the two sides agreed to form an alliance to jointly resist the Tang Dynasty in this hall, and Li Xinzhong handed over the poppy seeds and 50,000 thunderbolts, and agreed that if Tubo was rescued this time, the production method of the thunderbolt would also be sent over as a follow-up cooperation project.

The envoy of the Western Turks went back to restore his life, and his face was not so relaxed, in fact, this time the Western Turks simply took advantage of the fire to rob, and wanted to do no business, and did not plan to save Tibet, because they could not reach it.

The Western Turks only have 200,000 soldiers, and they can't stop the thunder of the Tang Dynasty, so the border clouds of Chen Bing are all lies, but the secret recipe for the thunder has not been obtained this time, whether it needs to be turned from virtual to real, this is a difficult problem that Li Xinzhong gave to the Western Turks.

After sending away the Western Turkic envoys, Li Xinzhong didn't have time to explain much to his younger brother Li Mingxin, because the Tang Dynasty soldiers were very fast, and I was afraid that they would be attacking all day long, and they had to make a surprise plan to stop them.

Li Xinzhong's eyes were fierce, and he secretly made a decision in his heart, and did not send reinforcements, because he heard that Datang had a magic weapon that could hit twice the distance of the catapult, and Datang thundered countless thunders, and it was more or less in vain for Tubo to increase his troops.

However, he sent his own henchman team, a team composed purely of the dead soldiers of the Li clan in Longxi, with all the high-explosive gunpowder, to the official road of the Sanli Canyon in the west of Pibo City.

Three days later, the invincible army of 50,000 people all the way to the Tang Dynasty came to the front of the only official road to the west, the plateau was bitterly cold, Tubo was already sparsely populated, and the cities were even fewer, and there was not even an official road between many cities, which also caused the geographical advantage of Tubo that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Now Datang is like this, half of Tubo has been laid, but it is blocked by a three-mile long official road, there is really no other path, there are dangerous mountains and forests all around, it is impossible because of this three-mile land, Datang will open up a new road from other places.

Li Yuanji raised the horse lance in his hand and stopped the entire army, the whole army stopped, and the scouts spilled out, finding out the reality of this place.

The art of war is not in the forest, and the valley is careful, these places are excellent places for the enemy to ambush and set traps, Li Yuanji, as a famous general, how can he not know to be cautious.

Yu Chi Baolin personally led a team of experts in climbing and reconnaissance to the top of the Sanli Canyon and explored for an hour, but did not find any ambush army and ten teams of scouts scattered for twenty miles, and did not see anything abnormal.

The mine sappers also carefully surveyed and found that there were no mine traps on the ground.

"The military battalion, have you ever analyzed this place?" Li Yuanji turned around and summoned Hong Qianli and asked.

Hong Qianli made a military salute and said: "The terrain here is long and narrow, although the official road can be parallel to five carts, but it is still an excellent place for the army to ambush."

We deduced that it was impossible for the enemy not to ambush, especially since our journey was so smooth that we could not even see reinforcements from the enemy, unless the enemy fled in advance. ”

Cheng Huaimo continued: "Could it be that the power of our ballista frightened them, caught them off guard, and they didn't dare to set up an ambush?" ”

"This is unlikely, the specific reason why the enemy did not set up an ambush is unknown, everything we have done is to prepare to destroy the enemy's ambush, and now it has all failed.

If I were the Li brothers, I would blow up the entire canyon and delay our march, but now this situation is really a little incomprehensible. ”

Li Yuanji nodded and said: "Even if the enemy does not set up an ambush, we must not be careless in the slightest, we must pass quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”

To tell the truth, Li Yuanji has a feeling of uneasiness in his heart today, which comes from the intuitive sensitivity of the military generals, but he has already sent people to investigate inch by inch three times, and there is indeed no movement in the three miles of this three-mile road.

"Marshal, the military division battalion suggests that for the sake of safety, the valley heights send scouts to guard the march.

And be prepared to move through this passage quickly by ants, so as not to have any unknown tricks from the enemy. ”

Hong Qianli convened the military division battalion and finally made the optimization plan, not that the Tang people were timid, and they didn't dare to go generously knowing that there was no threat, but that only these 50,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty could go to the plateau to fight, and one hundred and twenty was not too cautious at all.

"Third brother, let me escort the army all the way, I am strong, even if there is something, I can deal with it on the spot." Li Yuanba pulled out a peerless sword and said.

Li Yuanji was very reluctant for the fourth brother to take the risk first, but at this time, in front of the army, it was really impossible to refuse, after all, the soldiers behind him were also robes, and the general had the responsibility to share weal and woe.

"Okay, the army of 50,000 is divided into 50 teams with a thousand people, and the ants move quickly through the canyon."

Li Yuanji gave an order, and the army moved quickly, and Li Yuanba immediately held his sword and followed the first thousand-man team all the way through the valley.

"Okay, third brother, there is no danger in passing the test smoothly, you can speed up the back." Li Yuanba hurried back and said.

So the 50,000-strong army began to march rapidly in groups, but what they didn't know was that on the mountain walls on both sides of this valley, about ten meters away from the top of the mountain, there were actually hidden people, and it was the two teams of elite dead soldiers sent by Li Xinzhong who were hidden.

This is Li Xinzhong's poisonous plan, since blowing up the canyon can delay the Tang Dynasty's advance, why not make the best use of everything and destroy the Tang Dynasty's 50,000 troops in one fell swoop, so that there is no need to ask for help, and the danger of Tubo will naturally dissipate.

It's just that after studying the march and combat of the Tang Dynasty, Li Xinzhong knew that he basically had no chance to ambush and hurt people, and finally thought of Li Mingxin's story about the Tang Dynasty opening the mountain and blowing up stones to build roads.

When the Tang army passed through the valley, detonate the high explosives on both sides of the valley and blow up the valley to destroy the army.

Although it was necessary to sacrifice two teams of loyal and dead soldiers, for the safety of Tibet, all the sacrifices were worth it.

The captain of the dead soldier hidden on the mountain wall looked at Datang so cautiously, and the ants moved? How does this work? The teeth of hatred in my heart are itching, we are ready to sacrifice our lives in exchange for your 50,000 horses, who knows that you are not willing to do this?

After thinking about it, seeing that the Tang Dynasty passed more and more, the captain of the dead soldiers decided that the team that was most threatening to blow up the team of Tubo was not the thunder transport team, but the ballista transport team of the Tang Dynasty.

After figuring it out, the man watched as the ballista convoy entered the valley, reached the ambush area, and ignited the high-explosive gunpowder around him.

Rumble! There was an earth-shattering noise, which caused the earth to shake and the mountains to roll, followed by hundreds of loud noises, and it was the other dead soldiers who saw the captain's signal to light a cigarette and lit the fire one after another.

"It's not good, damn it, fourth brother!" Li Yuanji exclaimed, Li Yuanba, as a guard general, is his escort every time the team passes through, with this master, the soldiers can also have a sense of security.

Wei Chi Jingde, who was on guard patrol as a scout on the top of the mountain, saw why there was a faint green smoke coming out of the mountain wall, and he was startled, and was about to shout a warning, but before the shout came out of his throat, the mountain wall had already burst open.
