Good fortune will never come alone.

When Sinobud rushed to the Central Army camp in Chinan, Delhi, almost trotting into the Central Army tent in Chinan, Delhi, the sky had just brightened, and there were many generals gathered in the Central Army tent. Everyone's face was extremely solemn.

"Great discussion!" As soon as Xenobud spoke, Delhi Chinan waved his hand: "Xenobud, do you know too? The whereabouts of Han Rui's 10,000 cavalrymen have been found."

Xenobud was stunned and immediately reacted: "Where are they?"

"Tanggula Pass. Han Rui led 10,000 cavalry and suddenly appeared at the Tanggula Pass. He captured the fortress where we were. Then he moved forward rapidly, and the march was extremely fast. The news he just received was that they had captured Ando."

Thanobud's face was pale, "Andou is lost. This has been news for more than ten days, right?"

Delhi Chinan nodded, "It was news from more than ten days ago. Now, I'm afraid they have arrived at Nagqu. Whether Nagqu is still in our hands or not has to say a little."

"Their target is Lhasa." Xenobud took a deep breath.

Delhi Chinan nodded: "But it is not so easy for them to capture Lhasa. Ando's loss is just because they have taken advantage of an unexpected convenience. If Ando's loss is, Nagqu will definitely be prepared for it. We still have 10,000 garrison troops in Lhasa. In addition, monk soldiers from major temples and young and strong people who can be mobilized temporarily, the number of people can be organized will definitely not be less than 20,000 people. Zanpu will definitely call on the surrounding tribes to reinforce, and at least one more ten thousand people can be raised. Lhasa has persistence, and Han Rui's troops are all cavalry. They advance rapidly all the way, and they definitely have no siege equipment. It is not so easy to take Lhasa."

Xenobud knew that Delhi Chinan's analysis was not wrong. In any case, Lhasa is the political, economic and cultural center of Tubo, with a solid city wall and a considerable number of left-behind troops. Zanpu and the living Buddha in the Potala Palace were ordered, countless tribes would inevitably gather to raise troops and rush to wherever they could go.

But!

But how could this be the only one of the crises they encountered?

He looked at Delhi Chinan bitterly and said, "Great Remarks, I just received the news that Mangaba, the entire army was destroyed."

Delhi Chinan opened his mouth wide and stared at Senobud in a daze.

There was a strange silence in the tent first, and then with a bang, almost everyone jumped up at the same time and rushed to Senobud.

"What did you say?"

"What's wrong with Mangaba?"

"This is impossible!"

"Quiet!" Thinobud yelled.

Delhi Chinan's face, which was originally a little flushed, turned pale at this moment. Looking at Senobud, he said word by word: "Senobud, aren't you kidding? How could Mangaba fail?"

"I thought so at first." Xenobud said tragically: "I sent a messenger to contact Mangaba, and I wanted him to end the war in Chamdo as soon as possible so that he could transfer the elite troops from his troops to join forces to encircle and suppress Li Cunzhong. But my messenger met Mangaba's defeated soldiers halfway."

After pausing for a moment, Xenobud said: "The Tang army had planned a premeditation. It should have been an ambushing a team in the deep mountains and forests in the Basu area. At the most tense moment when Mangaba attacked Chamdo, he suddenly appeared and attacked Mangaba's camp. Under the attack of inside and outside, Mangaba's troops were caught off guard. He himself was killed on the spot. Tens of thousands of troops had collapsed."

After being silent for a long time, Chinan, Delhi, barely accepted the bad news.

"Did you understand the subsequent situation clearly?"

Xenobud shook his head: "After I received the news, I immediately came to Da Lun. Da Lun..."

"Shenobud, just say whatever you want, don't hide it." Delhi Chinanda.

Sinobud nodded and said, "Big Theory, from the current situation, I'm afraid the Tang people have already set up a huge situation on our heads, and we have jumped into it. Whether we attacked the rebels in Yushu, Changdu or lured Li Cunzhong's left Wugu to come to this area, they are all under the enemy's calculations. This point can be seen from the fact that they ambushed such a powerful army in Changdu in advance, we can see the opponent's deliberations."

Delhi Chinan closed his eyes.

"Although the great remarks are hindsight, now it seems that these rebels have been cooperating with some strategy of the Tang army from the beginning." Snowbud continued: "Every place where Mangaba attacked the Chamdo area is a high valley and deep forest. They built cities from the beginning of the rebellion, and it seemed that we were ready to attack from some time. This has never been before. The serfs rebelled and never stopped. They all got up quickly and were defeated quickly. Those serfs never had a long-term plan, but this time, it was obviously different."

"What's the point of saying this now!" A Tubo general shouted: "What's important is, what should we do now? A big statement, I think it's time for us to withdraw our troops. Lhasa is the top priority and we must not lose it."

Sinobud glanced at him and said, "So, we should make up our minds now. Let's retreat! We can't eat Li Cunzhong in a short time. After a long time, we are trapped here in danger. Li Ze's queen is in Hetao. I even suspect that he has arrived in Qinghai now. There is such a person in charge. I am afraid that the Tang army will continue to mobilize troops. Liu Ruyan came to Shaanxi and Gansu to deal with the drought, and she was just for us."

This year, the Tang Dynasty was full of wind, drought and floods. Empress Liu Ruyan arrived in Hetao, and the imperial concubine Xia He went to Henan. In the eyes of Tubo, this was Li Ze's move to stabilize the situation and win over the people's hearts. At that time, he really didn't expect that Liu Ruyan arrived in Shaanxi and Gansu, but was planning the situation in Tubo at the root.

But is it that easy to retreat?

"A great discussion, given the current situation in Chamdo, the rebels there will definitely be heading towards us next. If they come, it will be even more difficult for us to leave. The last general asks for an order to stop the rebels of Chamdo." Snowbud said. "You can't hesitate anymore. Now Li Cunzhong's troops are very few cavalry, which is our major advantage. He dares not pursue them rashly. If he really dares to pursue them, our cavalry can give them a heavy blow halfway." Snowbud said.

No matter what, the rebels invading Chamdo must be killed. Delhi Chinan basically agreed to Sinobud's suggestion. After Sinobud returned, he immediately set off the camp and took the initiative to meet him in the direction of Chamdo.

What really prompted Delhi Chinan to issue an order to withdraw troops was a more shocking news brought back by Mo He. A large number of cavalry from the Tang army had appeared by the Tongtian River and the Tuotuo River, and they were building bridges. The number of these cavalry was afraid that there were tens of thousands of people together.

Based on the flags and appearance of the opponent's cavalry, Mo He basically judged that these cavalry came from the Western Regions or from the southern and northern deserts. Almost all of them were foreign cavalry. The two generals who led the troops should be Li Hai, the general under Xue Ping, and Zhang Jian, the son of Zhang Jia.

Mo He even guessed that Liu Ruyan might be among this cavalry because he saw that these two troops from different regions were very closely cooperating. If there was no strong person here, it would be impossible for such two teams to cooperate so perfectly.

These people are not regular troops of the Tang army, but just cavalry they temporarily recruited.

If all these people crossed the river, the Tubo army would be very difficult to leave.

Without any thoughts, Delhi Chinan immediately ordered all the personnel to retreat.

The entire Tubo army was cut off from Tualu, and Mohe led the cavalry to guerrilla wings to cover the main force and quickly retreated.

There are more than 100,000 Tubo troops, half of infantry and cavalry, and tens of thousands of civilians and a large amount of supplies. It is not easy to retreat.

In the central camp of the Tang army, Li Cunzhong looked far and wide from a high point.

"Abdula, look, your chance is coming!" Li Cunzhong pointed to the messy Tubo camp, "They began to retreat, and there must be cavalry guards on the periphery. Your mission is to fight with these cavalry, drive away, and harass them."

"General, are you going to pursue? But your army is basically infantry! My cavalry can only be on the periphery and cannot stop their large-scale attacks." Abdula said.

Li Cunzhong smiled and said, "So what if they have a large number of cavalry? Don't forget that they also have tens of thousands of infantry, tens of thousands of civilians, and countless baggages. Do they walk fast? They walk forty or fifty miles a day. Unless their cavalry abandons these infantry men's baggage and cavalry run away, I really can't catch up, but can they do this? So although I only have infantrymen, my marching speed will not be slower than them."

The Tubo army began to retreat on a large scale, and Li Cunzhong also sent troops to pursue him.

What surprised Abdula was that Li Cunzhong actually formed a battle formation during the pursuit process. He ignored the harassment of the Tubo cavalry and did not care about the attacks of the Tubo army led by Tualu again and again, but just moved forward and forward again.

The Tang army was moving forward and fighting. Even though the speed was sometimes extremely slow, their pace never stopped. Abdula's troops, under the strict order of Li Cunzhong, were not allowed to leave the range of about one mile for the large army. When the Tubo cavalry attacked, they would retreat into the lineup of the infantry. The infantry used countless crossbows to welcome these Tubo cavalry. As long as the offensive of the Tubo cavalry was frustrated, Abdula rushed over and harvested a group like a tiger going down the mountain. Only when the Tubo army retreated slightly, they would retreat, not be willing to fight, not fight in a wave, and not pursue more than one mile.

One day, the Tang army walked forty miles.

In two days, and on this day, the Tubo army only walked forty miles.
