Chapter 739: Strategic Confrontation

Since Tanggula Pass is not far from Li Hao's location, and before dawn, Li Hao was sleeping in the RV, so Lu Yun came to report: "Lord Wang, the old eagle and the wild wolf have come back to deliver the letter." ”

Li Hao hurriedly sat up when he heard the sound, and said while getting dressed: "Bring them in!" ”

The carriage door opened, Lu Yun came in with two special forces, because the weather outside was too cold, the two of them hurried overnight, the eyebrows and forehead hair were full of white frost, Li Hao saw this and poured two cups of hot water himself, pointed to the sofa opposite, and said, "Sit down first, drink a cup of hot water to warm up." ”

"The subordinates don't dare." The two replied in unison.

"It's an order!" Li Haohu raised his face, the two of them sat down, handed the letter to Li Hao first, and then picked up the teacup to drink water, not to mention, the air conditioner was turned on in the RV, it was warm, and then drinking hot water, it was really comfortable.

Li Hao opened the envelope and read the letter, after reading it, there was no sadness or joy on his face, he naturally would not be ecstatic because of the defeat of the 50,000 horses in Tubo, his goal was to capture the city of Luo, otherwise it would not be a big victory.

After reading it, Li Hao was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "General Fan did a good job, this battle was fought beautifully." ”

The old eagle hurriedly asked, "Lord Wang, do you want to reply to the letter for us to take back?" ”

"There's no hurry." Li Hao smiled and said, "It's not important at the moment, you will go to the camp to rest later, and after lunch, you will send a letter back for this king." ”

"Yes!" When the two heard this, they were moved, Li Hao was afraid of their hard work and sympathetic to them.

Li Hao saw that they were about to lift their butts, and said with a smile: "Go out after drinking the hot water." ”

"Yes!" The two of them took the order again, and then desperately drank hot water, but the water was too hot and it was really slow to drink.

When they got out of the RV, the sky was already drifting with snowflakes, it was snowing, and it was not small, and in the afternoon, the heavy snow stopped, and the mountains were already white, fortunately, not too thick.

The old eagle and the wild wolf had already had lunch and waited outside Li Hao's RV, and finally, Li Hao, wearing a plush cloak and holding a letter in his hand, walked out, handed them the letter with a smile, and said, "The road is slippery in snowy weather, be careful along the way." ”

"Thank you for your concern!" The two took the letter and nodded vigorously.

"Go ahead." Li Hao smiled and waved his hand, and the two got on their horses and left.

Looking at the backs of the two of them, a cold wind blew, raising Li Hao's long hair, and after the nourishment of King Sam, Li Hao's white hair turned black again.

"It doesn't matter if she wins or loses, I just hope she's okay." Li Hao looked into the distance and sighed faintly.

Li Hao is really worried about Fan Lihua, although he knows that Fan Lihua is a military talent, but he is still worried that he is not completely sure about this attack on Tubo, can he not worry, after all, Fan Lihua is his beloved woman.

At this time, Lu Yun came over and said, "Lord Wang, it's too cold outside, let's go back to the car, beware of catching a cold." ”

Li Hao smiled and nodded, turned around and got back into the car, he has been here for so many days, he measures his blood pressure every day, but his blood pressure remains high, and the altitude sickness has not been reduced at all, which makes him very distressed, he has already sent a message to ask Li Cheng, Li Cheng went to ask him about his classmates who are doctors, and the doctor also said that this phenomenon is very rare, mainly because he does not understand Li Hao's physical condition, after crossing, Li Hao's body is no longer the same as ordinary people, of course, it cannot be explained according to common sense.

At the same time, in the city of Luo, the Garqin Mausoleum has been reported, Grenzin's 50,000 army was completely defeated, only one or two thousand people fled back, this news shocked him, he thought that in the Tanggula Pass, the Tang army would have serious altitude sickness, but he didn't expect that it was not at all what he thought, the 50,000 army was almost wiped out, and he had to reassess the strength of the Tang army.

In the council hall, Zuo Rushuai Solang Gazan and Zhongru Shuai Ti Lingqin are separated, both of them are newly promoted cronies of Garqinling, and when encountering such a major event, Garqinling naturally wants to discuss countermeasures with them.

Garqinling paced back and forth, frowning with his eyebrows: "I didn't expect the fangs of the Tang Army to be so sharp, which greatly surprised us, Gazan, Lin Qin, what do you think?" ”

Ti Greenqin said: "Big talk! I think we should gather our forces and besiege some cities, no matter how fierce the Tang army is, it is only 80,000 horses, and we still have 300,000 troops. ”

"That's right!" Solanga praised, "As long as the Tang army is forced back, let us get through this crisis, we can Xu Tu development, although the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, but the court is open and secretly fighting, the people's hearts may not be united, and Chang'an has a letter from the flying pigeon, the Tang Emperor is sick again, I am afraid that my life will not be long, the Tang Emperor will die, and the Tang Dynasty will not be able to take care of us for a while." ”

"Well, that's what Benxiang thinks." Garqinling nodded, and suddenly frowned, "Speaking of flying pigeon messengers, I remembered it, and the letter clearly said that this time the Tang Emperor worshiped Li Hao as the general manager of the march, commanding 80,000 troops, and came to attack my Tubo, why did the soldiers who fled back come to report, and they all said that the leader was a female general, and Li Hao was not seen?" ”

Solangazan and Tigrin looked at each other and shook their heads.

"That's weird." Garqinling frowned again, and slowly whispered, "Li Hao is very good at using soldiers, even his father was defeated by him, and finally jumped off the building to commit suicide, if he comes to attack my Tubo, then my Tubo is really dangerous, but the Tang Emperor obviously worships him as handsome, but he didn't appear, don't you think it's weird?" ”

"It's weird indeed." Solangazan and Tigrin replied in unison.

"Could it be...... There is a conspiracy? Garqinling's face became very gloomy, and he said slowly, "Benxiang's father told Benxiang when he returned from the Tang Dynasty, he said that Li Hao is insidious and cunning, and he is the best at conspiracy and trickery, so if I meet him in the future, I must be very careful." ”

Solang Gazan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "So, what should we do, should the last general send someone to search around and find him?" ”

"No." Garqinling waved his hand and said, "Find, you must look for it, but you can't send an army over, if you encounter the Tang army, you will definitely be pursued by the Tang army, and you need to send someone to find it secretly." ”

"Secretly searching?" Solangazan and Tigrin looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a while.

Garqinling thought for a moment, and said slowly: "This matter, let it be handed over to the national teacher, there are so many monks in the Dalun Temple, they only eat and don't do anything every day, let them go out and be busy this time, the Tang people can't even kill the monks." ”

Solang Jiazan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "It's a great plan to talk about, the Tang people always regard themselves as benevolent and righteous, and when they meet monks, they won't make it difficult. ”

"Exactly." Ti Greenqin also exclaimed, "I can't wait for the wisdom of the Great Theory. ”

"Stop being a sycophant." Garqinling smiled proudly and said, "Solang Gazan, you go to gather troops, Ti Lingqin, you go to the tribes to collect grain and grass, this time, we will consume the Tang army!" ”

"Yes!" The two of them were excited to receive their orders.

The next day, Lin Qin just sent people and horses from all walks of life to various tribes to collect grain and grass, and the Tang army's three-way raiding cavalry had already returned with a full load, bringing back a large number of barley buckwheat and other grains, as well as 20,000 cattle, alpacas and horses, and the harvest was quite rich, but they only plundered the three tribes, if it weren't for too many things, they were too few people, it is estimated that they would not come back at all.

When they returned, they handed over a large amount of supplies to the camp, and Fan Lihua praised them and sent them to plunder again, making sure to rob all the surrounding tribes of food.

Fifteen days, the land of Tibet seems to have experienced a catastrophe, three teams of Tang elite cavalry looted everywhere, looted countless grains, cattle, alpacas and horses add up to more than 100,000, if money is exchanged for these cattle, alpacas and horses, about more than two million, the brave and warlike Tang army actually incarnated into the world's most powerful bandit gang, if this is known to the group of Confucian ministers who are full of benevolence and morality in the court, it is estimated that they will be criticized again, and Li Hao and Fan Lihua will be impeached to the fullest.

Not only that, when the army sent by Tigelin to collect grain and grass arrived at the tribes, they either did not receive any grain and took the people of the various tribes to the city of Luo to recover their lives, or they encountered the cavalry of the Tang Army, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Although the number of Tubo troops who requisitioned grain and grass is large, but it is too scattered, the most group is only 7,000 people, the cavalry of the Tang army is brave, and most importantly, they are also equipped with strong crossbows, yes, they are the most elite crossbowmen in the Tang Dynasty, and they are invincible in distant and close combat, and they are synonymous with invincibility.

The army of Tubo that requisitioned grain and grass suffered countless losses, and in the end, the statistics were reported to be as many as 30,000, while the cavalry of the Tang army only lost more than 500 people.

When the news came back to the city, Garqinling was so angry that his eyes were blood-red, and he smashed his most cherished antique vase, and it happened that several nobles provoked Garqinling at this time, and Garqinling was angry and directly arrested the three nobles' families and cut off their heads, which dissipated a little.
