And at this moment, Fan Lihua's army has started again, heading towards the city of Luo, along the way is still looting, those tribes who have not had time to migrate to the city of Luo have suffered a catastrophe, the Tang army has carried a terrible amount of grain, cattle and sheep, it is estimated that they will not be able to eat for half a year.

Every day, tribes poured into the city, and the population of the city rose every day, reaching 800,000, and the reported food made Garqinling worry, until this moment, he finally discovered the plan of the Tang people.

"The Tang people are so cunning!" After listening to the report of his subordinates, Garqinling gritted his teeth and snorted, but he couldn't help it, the war was imminent, these tribes were robbed of food, and they came to take refuge, he couldn't keep them out, otherwise there was no need for the Tang army to attack, these tribes rebelled first, but these tribes entered the city, and the food in the city was obviously not enough, although there were a lot of food hoards in the city, but they couldn't stand the number of people, 800,000 people were 800,000 mouths, and according to the current population growth trend, it seems that it is not a dream to rise to 1 million, Garqinling is now one head and two big, calling this a conspiracy of the Tang people, in fact, where is this conspiracy, the conspiracy is a strategy secretly implemented without others knowing, similar to the shameless trick of sneak attack, and Li Hao and Fan Lihua's strategy is put on the bright side, even if Garqinling knows their intentions, there is no way, this is a yang conspiracy.

The Tang army has approached the city of Luo, stationed in the south of a lake in the north of the city, only more than 100 miles away from the city, and the lake in the north is called Namu Lake.

Since ancient times, the most headache for the attackers is the problem of grain and grass, it is advisable to solve it quickly, otherwise the supply of grain and grass will become a problem, but Fan Lihua this time turned against the guest-oriented, plundered a large number of grain cattle, alpacas and horses in Tubo, there is no need to worry about grain and grass at all, and the army has cotton clothes, cotton hats and cotton gloves are readily available, practice in the cold wind every day, and become proficient in this cold weather and plateau climate as soon as possible, the altitude here in the city is not too high, only 3500 meters, the Tang army has been in the Tanggula Pass for nearly a month, for such an altitude, it is not much pressure.

The Tang army has arrived at the doorstep, Garqinling is naturally anxious, he wants to send troops to take the initiative to attack, the Tang army is a pot, but he is afraid of the Tang army's tricks, how he hopes that the Tang army can come to attack some cities, according to the city and defend can defeat the Tang army, but the Tang army has been training by Namu Lake, there is no intention of attacking at all, fighting and not fighting, retreating and not retreating, just consume with him, this is really tormenting.

At the same time, a team of fifty people walked along the cement road to the end, came to the place where Li Hao's RV was, fifty cavalry escorted a carriage, after seeing Li Hao's RV, they wanted to approach, but were stopped by one hundred Qinghai guards, Li Hao is the head of the march, this group of Qinghai guards is responsible for protecting Li Hao's safety, how can they let a group of people with weapons approach, after stopping this team, they shouted and asked: "Who is coming!" ”

The carriage stopped, and a middle-aged man with a white face and long beard got out of the carriage and said in a loud voice: "I am Xu Jingzong, the military supervisor of the Tang Dynasty's expedition to Tubo, dare to ask you, but you are under the command of Li Hao, the chief of the march?" ”

"Exactly!" As soon as the captain of the Qinghai Guard Cavalry heard that the other party was the supervisor of the army, his attitude eased a little, but he had already maintained a vigilant attitude and asked loudly, "You said that you are the supervisor of the Chinese army, do you have the official documents and seals of the Ministry of War?" ”

"The official documents and seals of the Ministry of War are here." As soon as Xu Jingzong's words fell, his personal attendant stepped forward with the official document and seal in his hand, came to Qinghai Wei, and asked them to check the official document and seal.

After careful inspection, the captain of the Qinghai Guard Cavalry said in a loud voice: "Wait a minute, I will report to the chief manager immediately!" He glanced at a horseman next to him, who turned his horse's head and ran back.

Li Hao was looking at the map in the car, and suddenly heard someone report that the prison army Xu Jingzong had arrived, Li Hao couldn't help laughing when he heard this, took two portable oxygen bags, opened the door and walked out of the RV, and said, "Take him to the tent to see me." After speaking, he walked towards the tooth tent, and Lu Yun and the two attendant special forces followed closely by him.

Soon, Xu Jingzong was taken to the dental tent, Li Hao put down the oxygen mask, spread his hands and said with a smile: "Lord Xu is here, please take a seat." ”

After Xu Jingzong saw Li Hao's pale face and purple lips, he was stunned, didn't say anything, bowed his hand, and sat down as he said.

As soon as his buttocks touched the cushion, Xu Jingzong asked: "General Li, as the general manager of the marching army of Luo Dao, you have the right to control the army of 80,000, and at the moment, Xu Mou has only seen a hundred cavalry, may I ask...... Where did the 80,000 army go? ”

Li Hao smiled when he heard this, and said: "I have already confronted the Tubo people in front, and now the garrison is on the shore of Namu Lake." ”

Xu Jingzong frowned when he heard this, and said coldly: "General Li, as the general manager of the marching army, why don't you go with the army, you are not in the army, so who is leading the army at this moment?" ”

Li Hao said: "This king suddenly fell ill and couldn't lead the army, but the military affairs can't be delayed, and the person who is leading the army at the moment is Fan Lihua, the deputy head of the march." ”

Xu Jingzong frowned again when he heard this, and said without yin or yang: "General Li, you are doing this...... It's not legal, 80,000 troops, without the permission of the imperial court, how can you transfer it to others privately, General Li, you have exceeded your authority. ”

"Hahaha......" Li Hao knew that he would say this, he was not afraid at all, and said with a smile, "Xu Jianjun is a civil servant in the end, and he really doesn't know anything about military affairs, the army is outside, the situation is changing, and people are not as good as the sky, who would have thought that this king would suddenly fall ill, if according to Xu Jianjun's words, everything must be consulted by the imperial court, and when the messenger comes and goes, it has been more than a month, and he has already missed the warplane, and how to conquer Tibet." ”

Xu Jingzong was teased by him in front of him for not understanding military affairs, his face turned red for a while, and he said angrily: "It is true that what General Li said is true, but General Li did not ask the imperial court to teach military power privately, which is a big taboo!" ”

Li Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "The emperor worships this king as the chief of the march, and the king has the right to control the army, and the appointment and dismissal of the army are all decided by the king, Fan Lihua is the deputy commander of the march, and has the right to coerce the leader, and the chief manager let her lead the army, how can she exceed her power?" How can it be said to be a taboo? Xu Jianjun is alarmist. ”

Xu Jingzong was silent for a while when he heard this, his eyes rolled, and he also knew that it was probably impossible to hold Li Hao with this matter, so he smiled and nodded: "Listening to General Li say this, there is some truth, but Xu is too serious." ”

Li Hao smiled and said, "It's good for Xu Jianjun to see through it." ”

Xu Jingzong picked up the teacup and drank a glass of water, it was actually cold, this cold day, he actually entertained him with cold water, he was not happy, he was already very sad all the way, but he didn't expect to be even worse here, so he laughed, and said in his words: "General Li is really fast, my army has not yet arrived, and your army is almost in Luoxian City." ”

"This is up to Xu Jianjun to ask yourself." Li Haopi smiled and said, "Xu Jianjun's speed is so slow, is it intentional to delay time and delay the fighter?" ”

Xu Jingzong originally wanted to blame him for not waiting for himself, but he didn't expect Li Hao to hit him backwards, and he immediately glared and exclaimed: "General Li, please be careful!" ”

Seeing this, Li Hao waved his hand and smiled cheaply: "Xu Jianjun is too serious, just kidding, don't take it so seriously, take it easy, take it easy, this king will not impeach you, just kidding, joking, hehe......"

Xu Jingzong saw Li Hao's appearance, so angry that his heart twitched, he had long heard that Li Hao's words and deeds were out of the ordinary, he was extremely scoundrel, he didn't expect to be so angry, thinking about his own frightened and frightened all the way, there were only fifty guards along the way, he felt aggrieved, and now after coming here, he will be angry with Li Hao, he is even more aggrieved, if he is not deep enough, I am afraid that he has been wronged to tears at this moment.

Although Xu Jingzong has a city government, after all, his status is too low, even if he becomes a supervisor, he does not dare to be arrogant with Li Hao, talking to Li Hao, he is suppressed everywhere, he is so angry, after chatting for a while, he found an excuse to leave the tooth tent, so as not to be angry again.

Li Hao looked at him with a smile on his face and walked out of the tent, and after hearing the footsteps go away, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold face, Xu Jingzong was a Wuzhou Party in history, and it is estimated that it is about the same in this era, at least from his performance just now, it can be seen that he can't pee in the same pot as himself, not to mention that he is still the prison army recommended by the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Hao naturally has no good impression of him.

Xu Jingzong stayed here with Li Hao for one night, and set out for Tanggula Mountain early the next morning, after all, he was marching to supervise the army, where the army was, he had to go, Li Hao was delayed here on the grounds of illness, he was not sick, he had to pursue the army.

Because there is no cement road in front of it, the road is not very smooth, Xu Jingzong abandoned the carriage, riding a horse, so that the journey will be much faster, the next day, to the Tanggula Pass, from a distance to see three Tibetan monks holding prayer barrels coming head-on.
