Chapter 128: Eastern Dusk (7)

.This seems to be an unreasonable dispatch...

The distance from Yin Shijia River to Zishan Pass is long, and there are many checkpoints along the way, with many countries of all sizes and sizes. Even if it is consumed, it will be exhausted.

Guo Yuanzhen would not think so. His best skills are strategy. If he really wants to let him go to the battlefield, he may not be as good as Tang Xiuhao. However, in terms of military vision, few people can match the rising stars. Lun Qinling broke through his own level and arrived at the rear, and he drew some more powerful soldiers from the Western Regions to support him. These countries are very small, which makes the Tubo people cold. When they see the Tubo people psychologically, they are very afraid and cannot stop them at all. As for some of the checkpoints guarded by the Tang army in the rear, after several draws, they have very few troops, and they cannot stop Lun Qinling's army.

Once they entered the Fuluochuan, the two Tang dynasties pursued a peaceful policy, allowing Qinghai to obtain a large amount of food, and made Lunqinling not worry about supply. As long as the Tubo people acted quickly, Qinghai would be decayed. Moreover, this person was very good at using troops and could march in front. He could use the urgent mentality of the Tang army to rescue Qinghai and ambush the ambush.

Therefore, no matter what, Lunqinling cannot be successfully moved eastward.

However, the terrain of the Western Regions is different from Qinghai. Qinghai is mountainous. Often, a checkpoint is built in an important place, and one man will be the pass, and ten thousand men will be truly open. The terrain of the Western Regions is Kunlun Mountain, Jinshan Mountain to the north, and Tianshan Mountain in the middle, and the abdomen are very flat.

Of course, there are mostly deserts in the middle that are deserted and difficult to fly. However, with the help of melted snow water in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, there are many oasis available, and even developed agricultural systems. These roads are very flat, such as from Tingzhou to Xizhou, the avenues that can be found on the map include Huagu Road, Yimo Road, Sahan Road, Breakthrough Road, Dahai Road, Wugu Road, Historical Road, Baishui Road, Yinshan Road, and Nine Roads.

It is difficult to put the army in one place and hold on to a level.

Lun Qinling's eastward direction was destined to be a tough battle. However, Guo Yuanzhen was very clever and did not directly regret Lun Qinling's military. He only followed the army waiting for Heichi Changzhi's army to arrive twenty miles away. Lun Qinling led his army to counterattack and set up a camp to defend.

After two knots were entangled for more than two days, Lun Qinling kept sending scouts to reconnaissance. When he moved, Heiqi Changzhi also moved. But the march was very steady, calm and even slowed down. It was difficult to find a flaw by bringing the grain radius together. Then he looked at Guo Yazhen's military camp dozens of miles away, and frowned secretly. There were still people in the Tang Dynasty, especially Guo Yazhen, who was just a general in the Qinghai battle in the past few years, but he grew up like this a few years later. Thinking about Wang Fangyi of Khurashan and Tang Xiuhao of Shuye City, he became more troubled.

The evening arrived and the camp was set up.

No Tang army dared to attack the camp, but it was different from Li Jingxuan's blindly arrogant first and then as timid as a mouse. This is a clear understanding that Li Wei has repeatedly said that the Emperor Qinling should not be underestimated. In terms of the general, there are few people in the Tang Dynasty who can match it. Don't blindly want to make a profit from him. If you have this and the idea, you will definitely be smart and will be mistaken for your intelligence. But you cannot be cowardly. When you arrive in the Western Regions and put it in the Tianshan Emperor Lun is a tiger, and it is also a sick tiger.

This is a strategic despise of the enemy and a tactical respect for the enemy.

It was just in reverse with Li Jingxuan.

This is the most headache-inducing part of Qinling. This Tang Dynasty army was entangled behind him and did not dare to advance rashly. The road ahead was not worth worrying about, but if you were not careful, the Tang army beside you could bite hard.

This problem has also been solved.

Not far from the camping place of Lunqinling, there is a very nameless small lake in Paoshanhai. However, except for the vitality of the lake, the mountain and sea are all flat Gobi Deserts within a radius of more than 100 miles, with hard gravels. This is a favorable terrain given to Lunqinling by God.

The next day, Lun Qinling led his army to the camp and arrived at Poshan. Suddenly, he sent 10,000 cavalry to rush towards Guo Yazhen's army. On this empty Gobi Desert, it was difficult to camp for him. However, after Guo Yuanzhen arrived here, he ordered the entire army to be on guard.

I saw the Tubo cavalry rushing over, pushing out the archers and shooting with crossbows. But in the extremely cold weather, the effect of the bow and arrow was greatly reduced. Then I spread the horse-resisting and iron calcare, laying a simple line of defense, then rolling out the trencher and putting gunpowder.

But there is no effective fortification, and the effect has always been very weak.

Lun Qinling also led the main force to kill him back.

Guo Yuanzhen's command ability was slightly weak and his troops were weak, so he gradually fell into a disadvantage. However, under his command, he struggled for nearly two days. On the evening of the next day, the soldiers died a lot. Lun Qinling took the opportunity to suppress all the reserve teams and rushed over. The Tang Dynasty coalition was exhausted and finally defeated.

This battle allowed Lun Qinling to kill more than 10,000 Tang troops. However, after two days, Black-toothed Changzhi gradually caught up, making Lun Qinling unable to expand the fruits of victory.

However, after this battle, Lun Qinling suddenly made a decision and fled south without going east.

Mainly, Guo Yuanzhen also made Lun Qinling suffer enough, and more than 5,000 Tubo soldiers died in two days of fierce battle. If the main force of Black-Tooth Chang was entangled again, even if he won, he would not have many people left. Also, Mochu disappointed him. If he cooperated, even if his large army was sacrificed, it would cause the Tang Dynasty to lose the entire Western Regions. Moreover, the Hu people in the Western Regions had a force that cannot be ignored. After a long battle, Mochu would not cooperate. If he bite him, he would escape to Fuluo..." It was still a question mark. Considering the pressure of domestic opponents, Lun Qinling retreated.

When Qinling fled south, Heichi Changzhi chased after him. Guo Yuanzhen once again gathered the defeated troops. Some soldiers fled to Tianshan in a hurry. But he still asked him to gather more than 19,000 people and followed Heichi Changzhi to pursue the south.

Lun Qinling was very fast, and it was also a surprise to Hu Hei Ya Changzhi. Li Jinxing and other generals. At this time, Mochu was still plundering the Wudulu tribe without restraint. There were not many soldiers who lost to the Tubo people. With Qinling's talent, he would not have to escape back in such a hurry.

Therefore, Li Jinxing in front could not stop him. After hearing the urgent report, he had to let Jiang Sijin lead 3,000 light cavalry to Yunan Mountain (at the junction of Kunlun Mountain and Korla Kunlun Mountain) to block it. He also ordered the troops to send troops to support him, and then the army went southeast to attack Lunqinling with the Heichichang army.

Lunqinling fled southward along the Yu River. At this time, the Yu River was not as dry as the Yu River later. Although the Tarim Basin was desertified, the Yu River also became a seasonal river... However, the entire Yu River has rich water resources, and there are many large and small oasis on both sides of the river, scattered small countries and tribes. In order to grab speed, Lunqinling had to learn from Li Wei, put down unnecessary supplies, and killed more than 2,000 captured Tang Dynasty troops. He burned and killed the Yu River and rushed to Yu Shi.

Jiang Sijin came to Yuqian's South Pass and had only had time to summon 3,000 Yuqian soldiers and hurriedly organized a simple line of defense. After Lun Qinling's army arrived, Jiang Sijin suddenly thought of some things that Li Wei said. He ordered the soldiers to urgently build a wall of earth more than one meter high, not to be strong, but to be tall and thick. After the building was done, melt the snow water and pour it on the wall. At this time, the terrain of Nanshan Pass was high and the weather was extremely cold. When the water poured on it was cold, it immediately turned into a solid frozen ice.

Lunqinling hurried to Nanshan Pass, but saw a large silver wall blocking the way. He was stunned, but there was no way. He either took a detour from the Pamir Road to enter Dabolu, but in that case, he would definitely be caught up by Li Jinxing's army, and the dark-toothed Changzhi's army behind him remained in dispersed.

I had to order strong waves.

After more than nine days of attack, the Tang army behind the silver wall was exhausted from ammunition and food, and was captured by the Tubo people. More than 6,000 Tang Dynasty coalition forces were all gone, but the Black-Tooth Changzhi army behind also rushed over and killed them all the way. Then Li Jinzhan's army also rushed over.

It was not until Yang Xi and Dabolu that tens of thousands of troops came to fight, and the two Tang troops left the plateau and retreated to the north.

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy losses. Lun Qinling came excitedly, but failed to achieve the effect. Instead, only 20,000 people were left, and they fled back to Luosie City in a panic.

However, more than 70,000 people were lost to him, including the army in the Western Regions. After the Tang army joined the war, nearly 40,000 troops were lost, more than half of which were the real Tang army. There were countless people in the Western Regions killed by Tubo.

However, from a strategic perspective, the Tang Dynasty was a victory.

Li Wei has said this many times before. When fighting against the Tubo people, we should not be too eager to achieve success, and we have to waste it slowly with them. The country has a large territory, but its population is small and poor. Even if it is a miserable victory, it will be a great victory. As long as the Tubo people fail after several battles, the pressure in Tubo will increase immediately, the contradictions intensify, and Tubo will not be far from disintegration.

Even if it is possible, it is even possible to exchange 400,000 Tang troops for the lives of 300,000 Tubo soldiers. The account is all calculated. The Tang Dynasty sacrificed 400,000 soldiers, and the country was full of conflicts, and the people would have a lot of pressure. However, once Tubo truly sacrificed 300,000 soldiers, it would be not far from destroying the country.

But bad news came at this time.

When the news arrived in Luoyang, it was over.

Not only did the news of Tubo come, but the Turks in the north heard that Lunqinling fled south, Mochu immediately brought a large amount of plundered wealth, cattle and sheep and the people, regardless of the cold weather, retreated all the way to the northeast. The elite troops of the Tang Dynasty were all in the south and fought against Lunqinling. They had no time to take care of them, so they had to watch him escort the people's cattle and sheep, and continued to burn, kill and plunder the whole way, and retreated to the desert. In a few months, the West was filled with sadness and joy. Khurasan and Sestan withstood the big food.

The pressure of humans not only defeated the two great food armies back, but also created a warable Persian army. At least this part was very satisfying. He knew that managing Persia was a bit delusional under the current conditions. Therefore, he only wanted the Persians to be the watchdog in the west of the Tang Dynasty. If they could be the watchdog, they could not become the hidden dung. The Caucasus and Napoleon played, but at least they should become a sheep-like big, not a Yorkshire, Malcis, Pomeranian and Chihuahua.

The Tianshan South Road also satisfied Li Wei, and the losses were heavy, but the Tang army was only 20,000 people who died. Compared with Lunqinling's sacrifice of nearly 30,000 soldiers, the price was worth it. As for the deaths of the people and troops of various departments of the Western Regions, Li Wei was really concerned. He was afraid that the Western Regions would become weaker and easier to manage and control.

However, Tianshan North Road and Suiye City were unexpectedly expected and did not make advance preparations and suffered heavy losses. In Suiyechuan and Suiye City alone, more than 10,000 soldiers and people died in battle. Tuqishi and Wudulu tribes suffered countless losses. Some small tribes swept through the Mochu coalition this time, and the entire tribe disappeared into the long river of history.

At the same time, the Eastern Turks became the biggest winner, capturing countless property, more than 700,000 horses, cattle and sheep, more than 100,000 people and some other wealth. However, because the weather was cold, only half of the Eastern Turks could be brought back. The Turks fled, and at this time Wang Fangyi also led his army to Suye City. In anger, he retaliated against Chebishi and Geluoshi's ministry, divided the population and compensated the losses of each tribe. In addition, he took out a considerable amount of wealth from the wealth brought by the Moufu City and compensated the various tribes.

It's also a smarter approach.

I just didn't want to operate it. I wanted to operate the Western Regions. The Tang Dynasty government began to formally collect taxes. Although the tax collection was very light, it was very light. The ministries were still concealing the population and paying less than half of the tax. However, the Tang Dynasty had to bear the responsibility of protection, so that speaking in the Western Regions would be authoritative.

There was a desolate scene in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, but more than two million of wealth of partial money were released, and the complaints finally subsided. Then the war between the Chebishi tribe and the Geluo tribe continued until June of the second year. Some tribes fled to the northwest of Xuanchi and Qingshan, and even asked the Tang army to catch up, slashed and robbed the tribes and people, and divided them into the tribes. Some were also divided into Suoye City, but they did not ask for men, but took the women among them.

With women, it will increase the population reproduction and facilitate national assimilation.

Then a majestic checkpoint was built on the Nanshankou main road, with a large number of coalition troops stationed by Yuqi and the Tang Dynasty. The establishment of the Xiong Pass meant that the Tubo people were completely expelled from the Western Regions or entered the Western Regions from a more distant secret guarding passage.

Overall, the wars in the Western Regions gradually entered Nihon and the crisis was resolved.

But bad news came out at this time.
