At dawn, the snare drums of training were sounded in the army. Yue Nu's eyes opened reflexively, but seeing that Xue Shao was still holding her in her arms, she immediately sat up and exclaimed, "Your arms are numb, right?" ”

"It's fine." Xue Shao raised his arm and stretched out a few times, and said with a smile: "You slept so soundly, you actually snored." ”

"Huh?" The moon slave was startled, and then smiled: "Won't it?!" ”

"Really." Xue Shao also smiled, "Like a cat, snoring." ”

"What a shame! I'm a woman who snores too! Yuenu's face turned red, "After that, I don't dare to sleep with my father-in-law, what if my snoring wakes you up?" ”

"It's fine." Xue Shao smiled, "If I fall asleep when I'm tired, the sound of snoring can knock through the door panel." I've never seen you complain once? ”

"I'm used to it!" Yuenu smiled, "If Childe doesn't snore, I won't sleep so soundly." ”

"I can get used to it, too. Besides, you don't snore every day, and yesterday you were exhausted. Xue Shao patted her on the shoulder, "You go back to sleep, I have to go to the Shuai camp." ”

"Don't sleep, I'll make breakfast for my son!" The moon slave jumped up from the bed, got dressed very quickly and went to work.

Xue Shao smiled indifferently, she had been used to this for so many years. Well, such a habit may also be an alternative enjoyment for her, so let her be!

Later, Xue Shao arrived at the handsome camp, and Lou Shide had already gathered all the generals to wait for the boss together.

Everyone knows that Tibet has withdrawn its troops. Several generals wanted to lead the army in pursuit, but Lou Shide refused and persuaded them. But in the end, the final word must be made by Xue Shao, the coach, to make a statement.

"It's obviously right not to pursue." Xue Shao's attitude was very clear and consistent with Lou Shide, he said: "We only send scouts along the way to closely monitor and reconnoitre, and find out the specific movements of the Tubo army!" ”

"Yes!" All the people will agree together, and there will be no more other discussions.

A few days later, the scouts reported one after another, saying that the Tubo army had retreated along the route of the march, and had retreated to Taozhou before stopping for a day or two to reorganize. Then they continued to retreat, all the way to the Qinghai base camp.

After repeated reconnaissance, this information was found to be accurate.

Xue Shao decisively ordered the whole army to march towards Taozhou. The scouts continued to keep a close watch and scout. As soon as the enemy army makes a move, it will be reported quickly.

The enemy attacks and defends, the enemy advances and I retreat, and now the enemy retreats and I chase, Xue Shao's tactical thinking is quite clear.

After that, the scouts reported that the army of Garqinling accelerated its march after retreating from Taozhou and went straight to the Qinghai base camp. At the same time, news also came from Lingzhou, saying that the black tooth Changzhi had won successive battles, and the Tubo people's Dafeichuan would soon be unable to hold it. The Tibetan Zampu had already sent envoys to the military camp of Heizhi Changzhi to sue for peace, and Heizhi Changzhi strictly implemented Xue Shao's order, temporarily stopped the attack, and asked the Tubo people to send envoys to Luoyang, the divine capital, to negotiate the peace alliance.

After receiving these two news, Xue Shaoyi analyzed that Garqinling was anxious to return to the division, most likely because he was worried about the loss of Dafeichuan. In fact, Dafeichuan and Qinghai, two important military bases in Tibet, are connected to each other. If Dafeichuan is lost, it will be difficult for Qinghai to survive alone. In this way, it is equivalent to ending the old nest of the Garqin Mausoleum and smashing the two portals of Tubo facing the Great Zhou.

For the Tubo Zampu, who had just come of age and was eager to take power in person, he was definitely unwilling to lose these two important kingdoms. In addition, if he was able to operate the peace talks with the Great Zhou on his own and succeeded, it would be very beneficial for him to establish the prestige of the king and centralize power. At the very least, this means that Zampu has been able to put aside the dictatorship of the Garchinling. What's more, "the two gates of the country are about to be lost" is still a disaster under the Galkin Mausoleum; Not only did he break into such a disaster, but he also lost troops in the battle against Lintao and Liangzhou, and he avoided it everywhere, and finally returned in embarrassment without accomplishing an inch.

Compared with the other, the authority of Zampu will undoubtedly rise unprecedentedly, and the Garqin Mausoleum will completely fall to the disadvantage.

Therefore, although the Heizhi Changzhi side is a separate battlefield, the significance of its victory is no less than Xue Shao's Yinchuan victory against the Turks and the victory of Nuozhenshui.

And on the Tibetan side, the young Zampu crossbow Si Lang also seized such a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity, wanting to take the opportunity to weaken the Garqin Mausoleum, and even ...... Solve the Garchin Mausoleum!

Military defeat and political frustration have forced the plateau tiger of the Garchinling to a desperate situation.

When he returned to the Qinghai garrison, the only thing left in the camp was the exhausted men and horses he had brought back, but there were few grains in stock. The fighting on the Dafeichuan side was repeatedly tightened, and the Qinghai side received an order from Zampu to suspend the logistical supply of the Garqinling army and support the Dafeichuan war instead.

Now that the war on the Dafeichuan side has come to an end temporarily, the Garqin Mausoleum heard the rumors that Zampu wanted to negotiate peace with the Great Zhou, and one of the conditions offered by the Great Zhou was to "hand over the war criminal Garqin Mausoleum".

Of course, this is a rumor deliberately leaked by Da Zhou's side.

Hearing this news, Garqinling's heart was cold all the way to the waist - Da Zhou made such a condition, and Zampu would actually be willing to send envoys to talk about it seriously?!

At this time, Xue Shaoqin led an army of 100,000 troops to return to Taozhou, and was reorganizing his troops and horses to prepare for a counterattack on Qinghai and a crusade against Garqinling!

In front of him, Zan Pu is not good at trying to get rid of himself and then quickly, behind him there is Xue Shaoqin leading the tiger and wolf army to be aggressive, and there is no half of the food at hand The army's heart has fallen to the valley, and there is also the black tooth Changzhi who is showing off his might.

Garqin Ling felt that he had reached a dilemma and was embattled. He can still clearly remember how heroic and heroic he was when he left Qinghai a few months ago, and at that time he had even planned how to continue to carve up the entire Western Regions after cutting Lintao and Liangzhou. But in just a few months, the situation will be so different!

Xue Shao's army stopped at Taozhou and prepared for battle, but there was no rush to march to Qinghai.

Xue Shao still adheres to this concept, and he can't force the Garqin Tomb too quickly, otherwise the first priority attack target of the Garqin Tomb will always be the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou. He must be allowed to fight with Zampu in Tibet, and then go to reap the benefits of fishing. Garrisoning troops in Taozhou like this now poses a threat to the pressure on the Garqin Mausoleum, and blocking its way out without really hitting him is the best way.

At this time, Wu Zetian in Luoyang had just received a military secret report from Xue Shao's confidant scouts who personally sent him. Little did she know that Tibet was about to send envoys to sue for peace.

Since it is a military secret report, it will only be seen by Wu Zetian alone, and it will not be made public in the court.

Seeing this secret report, Wu Zetian's heart that had been hanging finally fell back into his stomach. It turned out that the predictions of the Kudi clan and Princess Taiping were correct, and although Xue Shao had been losing, he actually had the real upper hand. The reason is that the Garqin Mausoleum is being forced into a desperate situation of death by him step by step.

Wu Zetian read the secret report written by Xue Shao in detail and detail, back and forth more than a dozen times, and the more he read it, the more he read it, the more relieved he became. She privately assessed that Xue Shao's battle did not have much to show in military terms, and many generals of the Tang Dynasty could fight the battle of "defending without fighting". Xue Shao's real brilliance lies in his outstanding "political consciousness". From the outset, he grasped the Achilles' political heel of the Garchinling, which was the discord with Zampu, and he was eager to reverse his political loss with a military victory.

Garqinling was anxious to seek merit, so Xue Shao held his head and defended it and never sent troops to fight a decisive battle. The logistical supply of the Garqin Mausoleum was not effective, so Xue Shao stretched the battle line on the wall and cleared the field, infinitely magnifying the pressure on his logistics. The war is fought with money and food, and excessive loss of national strength is bound to cause strong dissatisfaction among Tubo Zampu. What's more, this battle was not launched by Zampu at all, but out of the selfishness of Garqinling.

In the end, when the Garqin Mausoleum was about to be unable to support it, Xue Shao finally offered his killer weapon and ordered the soldiers of the Black Tooth Chang to go out of the source of the river to storm Dafeichuan, forcing the Tibetan Zampu to come forward to clean up the mess.

Wu Zetian knows better than anyone else that in fact, the war has reached this point, and Tubo's Zampu no longer needs anyone to "persecute", and he will take the initiative to stand up and clean up the mess. Xue Shao and Heizhi Changzhi's initiative only gave him a more ample reason to convince the ministers and generals under his command.

In a sense, it is now a "tripartite cooperation" that wants to kill the Garchinling. Zanpu of Tibet, Xue Shao, the empress of the Great Zhou.

After thinking about this, Wu Zetian raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Garqinling, you were once so invincible!" Thirty years of unbeatable people on the battlefield, how many men have you killed in my Central Plains, and how much territory have you seized from us? It's really incalculable! ”

"Now, even if you have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, there is only one way to die!" Wu Zetian couldn't help laughing, "Garqinling, you have finally met the nemesis of your life!" ”

"Tomorrow, I will personally inscribe a plaque and send it to the Zhao Guogong Mansion - Xue Zi should be the hero of the world!"

At this time, Wu Zetian's confidant eunuch said outside the door: "Your Majesty, Wu Chenghei, King of Wei, asks to see you." ”

Not again!

Wu Zetian frowned, put away Xue Shao's secret music, "Let him in." ”

Wu Chengsi walked in and bowed down, "Your Majesty, my nephew has something important to do." ”

"Say."

Wu Chengsi said: "The nephew thinks that the siege of Liangzhou cannot be solved just by relying on the fierce attack of Dafeichuan by the black tooth Changzhi to encircle Wei and save Zhao. In case Garqinling takes Liangzhou, all the grain, grass and baggage of our army will belong to him. At that time, Garqinling will calmly send back an army to aid Qinghai, and then defeat Heizhi Changzhi. In this way, not only will the Western Regions be cut off and lost, but Helong will also be in great danger. ”

Wu Zetian remained silent, "Then what do you think?" ”
