The soldiers around the tent were holding spears and looking around a little nervously, and there was silence in the tent, but the soldiers knew that the more this happened, the more serious the matter became.

Kiliman is known as a famous Tibetan general, and the Tibetan people know his two major characteristics, brave and good at fighting, and hot-tempered.

Since breaking through the Luoyan Pass, everything has not gone well, first set up an ambush in Huling, but the defenders of Huangsha Pass actually climbed over the Mushan, after Qiliman found out, chased to the Zamoha River, but unfortunately it was a few hours late, and the horse manure was still warm.

Finally broke through the Huangsha Pass, the long-cherished wish of the Tubo people for many years was finally realized, and the big guy was holding back his strength to rush to Guzang and seize the entire Liangzhou.

Unexpectedly, the army outside the Huangsha Pass did not enter the pass, but turned around and withdrew, and the army that broke through the Huangsha Pass was left with their lone army.

As soon as the Luoyan Pass was broken, the Jin army reacted quickly, and most of the army quickly retreated, retreating to various cities, hiding behind the tall and thick city walls.

Qi Li spewed out a heavy breath, he was very dissatisfied in his heart, and finally broke through the Huangsha Pass, but the Prime Minister refused to lead the army to continue the attack, but wanted to go to the Western Regions, is there a great Jin in the Western Regions? How much loot can there be?

The Jin people withdrew quite quickly, and the troops did not capture much property or capture many people, which could not offset the consumption of this expedition to the Great Jin.

The army of Tibet is composed of various tribes, and the army directly under the Great Khan of Tibet accounts for only 30% of the army of Tibet.

Prime Minister, Prime Minister of China, I'm afraid you miscalculated this time.

Today, the Great Khan of Tibet is young, and his power is in the hands of the Minister of State, Sangpu Gyaltsen, who is the Khan of Songjibe, one of the three major tribes of Tibet.

The Songji tribe was an ally with the Snow Eagle tribe of the Great Khan of Tibet, and they had an alliance with each other for thousands of years, when there was only a small piece of land in Tibet, and the two families formed an alliance against the enemy, and after decades of conquest, they conquered this vast land.

The post of minister of state is either held by the Songji department or another member of the Sangguo department of the three major tribes, but in the past ten years, it has been a member of the Songji department who has served as the minister of state.

Kiliman is even more of Sampu Gyaltsen's cronies, and he also pulled it up with one hand.

"Where did this little barbarian go?" asked Kiliman in a loud voice.

The black panther is famous, the commander Qiu Ge is even more famous in Liangzhou, attacking everything, invincible, the Tubo border army is afraid when he mentions his name, Qiliman has long wanted to compete with him, after entering the customs this time, he can let go of the rest, but Qiu Ge and the black panther must be eliminated.

To his disappointment, Qiu Ge and the Black Panther disappeared without a trace after crossing the Zamoha River, and he sent several scout teams across the river to search, only to find that only one scout team returned, and all the others disappeared.

Judging from the map, after crossing the Zamoha River, Qiu Ge has several roads, the most likely is to the Sanjiang Estuary, the pass of the Sanjiang Estuary was built by the famous general Qin Xi during the time of Wenzong, this pass has two purposes, one is the logistics support of the Huangsha Pass, and the other is that after the Huangsha Pass is broken, the defenders can retreat here to threaten to attack the flank of the enemy in Guzang.

Geographically, Sanjiangkou is an excellent strategic point, and if anything, it is logistical supply.

Sanjiangkou, Zamoha River and Baqu River meet here, and then go out for 200 miles and then join Liangshui, Sanjiangkou is named after these two rivers.

The mouth of the three rivers is built on two rivers, like an isolated island, attacking from the outside, can only be attacked from one side, the other two sides are rivers, logistics supply can be carried out through two rivers, but the problem is here.

The rivers of Liangzhou are characterized by either small or very aggressive, the Zamoha River and the Baqu River belong to the latter, the river is fierce and deep, but not wide enough, the bow and arrow can shoot through the two banks, so it is easy to block the mouth of the three rivers, as long as there are 500 archers on the bank, the river can be blocked.

In the plan to attack Liangzhou, the capture of Sanjiangkou was one of the plans, so that the Great Jin believed that the purpose of the Tubo army was to attack Guzang, but in fact, Guzang was not the target of this attack at all.

"Dashuai, did this Qiu Ge hide in Wangchuan County? ”

Someone finally spoke, but Qiliman snorted contemptuously: "If he hides in Wangchuan, I will be idle." No, he won't be as stupid as you! He won't hide in Wangchuan! He must be near us! I can feel it!"

There was silence in the tent, and the roar of Kiliman was heard, and everyone was silent.

After Qiliman roared for a while, he took two sips of milk tea in a huff, and threw the milk tea heavily on the handsome case, and was about to continue scolding, when he suddenly felt something, he turned his head to look at the lama wearing a monk's robe on the side.

"Living Buddha, what do you think?" Qi Liman's expression was respectful, and there was a world of difference from before.

Tubo is different from the Great Jin, the Great Jin Dynasty takes the Taoist canon as the holy book, governs the country and governs the family, all take the Taoist canon as the standard, and Tubo is to respect Buddhism, from the Great Khan to the ordinary people all believe in Buddhism, the Buddhist temples in the territory are widely distributed, and the presiding officers of the temples are called living Buddhas.

The living Buddha didn't open his eyes, his hand shrunk in the monk's robe, and he couldn't help but move the Buddha beads, and then nodded slowly: "The lightning is hiding in the dark clouds, and the general is careful." ”

Kili Manhesh, and then said in a deep voice: "Send scouts again, send ten more groups, put them in each direction, and increase the reconnaissance range from fifty li to one hundred." ”

----------------------------------------

When Kiliman was angry that he couldn't find Qiu Ge, Qiu Ge sat leisurely under the tree, which was a valley about eighty miles away from the mouth of the three rivers, and all the three thousand black panthers were here.

"Major General," an officer came running, "the scout has returned, Kiliman did not attack Guzang, he stopped at the weedy hill." ”

"How many troops?"

"We scouts don't dare to get too close, there are masters patrolling outside his barracks, and the sentry is ten miles away. ”

"Ten miles!" Qiu Ge was expressionless, with a hint of contempt in his tone.

"What about Huangsha Pass?"

"There was no movement. ”

"No movement?" Qiu Ge's brows furrowed slightly, and the Tubo army did not continue to attack Guzang, which was expected by him, but after Qiliman entered the pass, he did not make any move, and stopped at the wild grass hill, which was unexpected by him.

It is only more than 150 miles from Huangshaguan to Yecaogang, the distance is relatively short, Qiu Ge hopes that Qiliman will go deeper and the logistics line will become longer.

"Major General, is this Tibetan man doing something," said an officer next to him, who had a dark complexion and did not look very strong, but he gave people a heroic feeling.

Qiu Ge hummed softly, and the officer said again: "This beggar is full of famous Tibetan generals, a few years ago, we fought a lot, this person has always acted quickly, why is he so slow this time?"

Qiu Ge is usually cold and arrogant, but when he arrives on the battlefield, he becomes very cautious and does not act alone like the legend.

"Before the war, we should be cautious, listen to the opinions of veterans, and send more scouts to reconnoitre. ”

This is a summary of Qiuyun's lifelong experience.

Qiu Ge thought for a while and decisively said: "Let's wait here for two more days, in addition, send more scouts, all departments must be well hidden, no fire is allowed, and all dry food will be eaten." ”

It is very dangerous to hide here, the black panther is brave and good at fighting, but after all, there are only 3,000 men and horses, if the Tubo people are surrounded and suppressed by heavy troops, even if they can kill the bloody road, they will be hit hard, and then lose their deterrent.

The discipline of the Black Panther army was strict, Qiu Ge's orders were carried out quickly and thoroughly, and the soldiers all ate dry food and drank stream water, and no one complained or violated them.

In the evening, after inspecting the troops, Qiu Ge returned to his shack and continued to study the map, and the sky gradually became dark.

"Major General, Taniguchi has found a Tibetan scout. ”

Qiu Ge stood up suddenly: "How many people?"

"A team, ten people, has killed all of them, and not a single one has escaped. ”

Qiu Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't stay here, and the troops had to be transferred.

At the time of Li Min, a faint mist rose from the mountains, and Qiu Ge led the troops quietly to set off, and the whole army of 3,000 men and horses did not make a sound, quietly passing through the mountains in the mist.

This unit is Qiu Ge's troops, and every soldier and officer in the whole army admires him and is willing to follow him to the soup.

Two hours later, the fog cleared, the sun was shining, it was a rare good weather, and the troops accelerated their march, along the way, Qiu Ge still carefully avoided the avenue and took the mountain trail.

It was almost noon before Qiu Ge ordered to rest, but the fire was still not allowed to be raised, and all the soldiers ate dry food.

"Major General, where are we going?"

Qiu Ge stared at the map, he pointed to a point on the map: "I want to go here." ”

The officer took a closer look at a small grove in the southwest of Huangsha Pass, and he couldn't help frowning: "Major General, isn't this too close to Huangsha Pass?" ”

Qiu Ge nodded: "Huangsha Pass is now a heavy camp for Qiliman, all the baggage from outside the pass is here, there are at least 30,000 people in Qiliman, people eat horses and chew, how much grain and grass must be consumed every day, even if the Tubo people eat sheep, but what about horses? Horses always have to eat forage." ”

The war between the Central Plains people and the nomads outside the Saiwai region, the biggest difference is logistics, the Central Plains peoples rely on logistics very deeply, grain and forage have to be transported from the Central Plains, but the nomads are not, just drive a flock of sheep, but one thing is the same, forage!

War horses need forage, the grass on the ground cannot meet the needs of war horses, and war horses need concentrate feed, which can only be transported through the rear.

The Tibetan and the Xianbei Huns in the north are different, although they also eat sheep, they also need barley.

"We have been waiting for five days, and Huangshaguan has not sent a baggage to Qiliman, and I estimate that in two days at most, Huangshaguan will have to send a baggage to Qiliman. ”

"The Tibetans must be looking for us everywhere, and if they can't find us, they will inevitably send heavy troops to escort us, and at this time, the Huangsha Pass will be empty, and our opportunity will come. ”

Qiu Ge's tone was calm, but his eyes flashed with excitement, but the officers became excited, but the officer who asked the question just now remained calm.

"But we can't hold the Huangsha Pass, they can send it again. ”

"But we mobilized Qiliman, and he had to divide his troops to protect Huangsha Pass and protect the baggage passage, so that we could find another opportunity to burn the grain and grass of his camp. ”

The officer thought about it and was very excited about this plan, but before he could nod, Qiu Ge had already stood up and gave the order, and the troops were immediately transferred.
