In addition to leaving enough troops to guard the border, the Tang Dynasty withdrew all the excess troops back to the territory and assigned them to Jiannan Road, Guannei Road, and Jiangnan Road... At this time, Li Yuanjing had already raised an army, with more than 50,000 troops starting from Huzhou, Jiangnan Road, and launched an attack from south to north, with the sword head aiming directly at Chang'an. After conquering the six states in a row, the revolving Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong were intercepted in Yuezhou.

Because the troops led by Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Gong were both genuine soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and had just retreated from the battlefield, they had extremely rich combat experience and strong combat power. Although there were only 20,000 troops, Li Yuanjing's 50,000 troops were unable to move. Although Li Yuanjing's 50,000 troops were all brave soldiers, their advantage was that they were large in number and they were still difficult to solve with the Tang Dynasty army. Even under the command of Li Yuanjing, they once had the upper hand.

During the Tang Dynasty, there was no idle outside the country. Tubo returned to the territory and took a break, and then Tsuixiong launched an attack. Because Xiangxiong was greatly injured in this battle, his national strength was empty, and his army was depressed, so on the third day after Tubo launched an attack, Xiangxiong's border was defeated. Tubo took advantage of the victory and attacked the left with 10,000 cavalry, intending to defeat several more tenacious military fortresses in Xiangxiong's territory. He sent 8,000 cavalry to hit the heart. The last 13,000 infantry were in the camp step by step and slowly advanced towards Xiangxiong's Kyoto.

Xiangxiong is indeed stronger than Tubo, even now, she is a lean camel bigger than a horse. But in the face of Tubo's lightning offensive and detailed tactics, Xiangxiong lost more than he won, and in the end she could only ask the Western Turks for help while fighting to the death.

The Western Turks are now unable to care about Xiangxiong. More than 70% of the troops in the country are used on the battlefield of the Eastern Turks. They are all countries on horseback, and they are all Laipi spirits who can't defeat them. It's not easy to conquer the Eastern Turks? Although they win consecutive battles and conquered countless cities and territories. However, the cavalry of the Eastern Turks can always launch surprise attacks, counterattacks, or attack supply lines, or sparrow battles at unintentional time and place. In short, it makes the Western Turks one head two big.

Tuyuhun, who had become cannon fodder, should be more regular, but Tuyuhun was not idle either. He found that the grand strategy was in chaos, and even the little guy, Tubo, dared to attack Xiong, a big guy. How could he watch others eat meat and smell it by himself? However, Tuyuhun's idea was strange. He did not take advantage of this time to rob, but instead thought about it in disguise, thinking that if Xiangxiong had a helping force to eliminate the traitor of Tubo at this time, wouldn't Xiangxiong regard himself as a guest of honor? Therefore, Tuyuhun gathered the only 20,000 main forces left in the country and bite Tubo.

Tubo had sent all the main forces into Xiangxiong territory, but was suddenly inserted into Tuyuhun and completely cut off contact with the main forces on the front line. The supply line was cut off, and the supplies, personnel and military supplies were not available. When there was no choice, the main forces in front who had won the battles could only temporarily suspend the offensive. Tubo squeezed out six thousand soldiers and horses in the middle of the front line, combined with the troops on the front line, launched a double-team attack on Tuyuhun.

As a result, the Tubo front-line troops were transferred to attack Tuyuhun, and Xiangxiong also turned around to attack Tubo's front-line troops. In this way, Tubo attacked Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun and Xiangxiong also attacked Tubo's main force. For a time, Tubo was in great pain and could only ask for help from the Tang Dynasty ally.

The Tang Dynasty is now too busy to take care of itself and is forced by Li Yuanjing, so there is no way to pay attention to Tubo. But considering that Tubo will become the most important ally in the future and be stuck between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, whether it is the Turks who attack the Tang Dynasty can play a defensive role or the Tang Dynasty who attacks the Turks in the future can play a springboard. However, the generals in the country have been sent to encircle and suppress Li Yuanjing, and no one can be used. In the end, the burden can only be thrown on Wei Hong's shoulders. Wei Hong was sent to lead 8,000 cavalry from Longyou Road to support Tubo from a long distance.

When Wei Hong led his troops to advance to the Tubo war zone, the Khitan was not idle either. The external troubles of the Tang Dynasty were basically solved, and only internal troubles were left, so it was no longer the best choice to use the Tang Dynasty. The Eastern Turks were beaten by the Western Turks without the power to fight back. Why not take advantage of this time to get a share of the Eastern Turks? So the Khitan sent Xiaohe, who had attacked Mazong Mountain, and led 10,000 cavalry to attack from the northeast direction of the Eastern Turks, and sent 10,000 infantry to advance slowly and step by step to achieve the intention of erosion and occupation.

Originally, the Eastern Turks were ugly enough to face the Western Turks, but the Khitan fired another fire in the backyard, and they were attacked by the enemy on the back and forth, and they were all powerful enemies. It was only a matter of time before the Eastern Turks perished.

At this time, the situation in the entire continent can be summarized simply. The civil war between the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks fought against the Eastern Turks, the Khitans fought against the Eastern Turks, the Tubos fought against Xiangxiong, the Tubo fought against Tuyuhun, the Xiangxiong fought against Tubo, and the Tuyuhun fought against Tubo. This was already chaotic enough, but the Uighurs didn't know whether they took the wrong medicine or what, so they fought with the Khitan in a daze. Although the Uighurs had the advantage of home court and the advantage of numbers, they could not beat the Khitan. Later, they got angry with the Khitan, so they simply placed the Eastern Turks first and fought against the Uighurs with all their strength. They beat the Uighurs in one breath and lost their temper.

When the north was in a turmoil, Wei Hong was less than one day away from the Tubo battlefield. Sitting on the bumpy horse's back and listening to the information from all sides, Wei Hong frowned, kept thinking, and finally slapped his thigh and shouted: "I won't support Tubo!"

Cheng Chu, who was accompanying him, asked why? Wei Hong replied: "Now Tubo is entangled with Tuyuhun and Xiangxiong head-on. Although it is extremely difficult to fight, it is indeed entangled with them. At this time, both Tubo and Xiangxiong are extremely empty in the country. No matter which one we attack, we will win with one blow! Tuyuhun is closest to us, but attacking Tuyuhun is meaningless. Even if you fight, you will have no effect on the entire battlefield. It is better to turn directly from the Tubo territory, enter Xiangxiong territory from the southwest, and penetrate directly into the inner abdomen."

Hearing this, Cheng Chumo patted his head and said a rare idiom: "Sir, your trick is to surround Wei and save Zhao?"

"Yes! The location of Tubo is right at the center of various forces. There is Xiangxiong in the southwest, Turkic in the northeast, and Tuyuhun in the southeast. It is a huge pressure. This is also the foundation of Tubo's constant suppression by various forces and it is difficult to become the climate. Once we attack Xiangxiong and dismantle Xiangxiong from within, we can not only eliminate the harm of Xiangxiong and alleviate the pressure on Tubo in this battle. It can also make Tubo less enemy, which will be more conducive to the development of Tubo." Wei Hong explained patiently. Although Tubo will pose a very great threat to the Tang Dynasty in a few generations, it is a causal relationship. If Tubo cannot develop now, it will not be able to become a capable ally of the Tang Dynasty in the near future. For the Tang Dynasty, it will be more harmful than good. After all, if others are worried about the future, we will solve the current situation first! (To be continued.
