Chapter 224 The Power of the Tubo People

Now that Li Yan has arrived at the front line, he has turned the Nanzhao people into his own ally before he has spent a lot of troops. This is another typical move of one thing rising and the other.

Li Yu immediately sent the news back to Chang'an City. He was a careful person and knew that his father was already very concerned about the battle with Tubo, so he would send an imperial guard to Chang'an City every two days, regardless of whether the situation had changed or not.

Li Yu knew that at least Li Heng would not be unable to sleep every day if this happened.

According to Li Neng's instructions, he strengthened the inspection around Yizhou to prevent the Tubo people from accidentally sending troops to attack Yizhou. In Li Neng's words, although attacking Yizhou on the surface does not have any benefit to the Tubo people, as long as the prince is here, it is worth the Tubo people's attempt.

Li Yan not only relied on letters to remind Li Yu and these things, but Xu Yuan, who had been by Li Yu, had already received Li Yan's instructions. His biggest task in Yizhou was nothing else, but to deal with Li Yu's safety issues well.

Li Yu naturally saw all the things Xu Yuan did. He really couldn't find any fault with Li Qing. Li Qing did, as he said himself, do his best to make the relationship between the brothers seem to be the brothers of the people, not the brothers of the royal family.

According to Li Neng's idea, after Cui Yuan died, he explained to Li Yu, the big rear of Yizhou, and had to hold a tripartite talk with Li Guangbi and Ge Luofeng.

He knew that the Tubo people would definitely send troops, but the time and target of the troops were not yet determined.

Although Ge Luofeng now occupies Yaozhou, once he forms an alliance with the Tang Dynasty, he will almost have to withdraw. Li Qing did not let him withdraw now, not to win him over, but to use Yaozhou as the core area of ​​this battle.

Since Tubo will definitely be the attacking side, Li Qing's idea was to prepare himself in a place they could not get around. Judging from the areas of Tubo, Nanzhao and Jiannandao of the Tang Dynasty, this place is naturally the best place to be Yaozhou.

When Li Yu sent him a message and said that he would definitely make Yizhou City foolproof, Li Neng sent letters to both Li Guangbi and Ge Luofeng. Three armies gathered outside Yaozhou City two days later. Li Neng, Li Guangbi and Ge Luofeng came to the city to discuss how to deal with the Tubo people who could arrive at any time.

To put it bluntly, these two days are given time to give Ge Luofeng the opportunity to withdraw from Yaozhou City with a more decent attitude.

According to the characteristics of Li Qing's alliance with others, I can give you anything and help you with everything, but one thing is that it is impossible to give you the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

There were quite a lot of battles and conflicts between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding alien races before. In these battles, people who occupied a little bit of barren land generally would not cause much response from the emperor or the officials in Chang'an City. After all, there are many major cities in the Tang Dynasty. In their opinion, as long as those major cities are fine, it is fine.

However, after Li Qing arrived, he had expressed his views on various occasions many times, that is, the territory of the Tang Dynasty. No matter whether it is barren or not, every inch cannot be given to the enemy. As long as he is there, whether it is the Uighurs or Tubo, if you want to cut down an inch from the territory of the Tang Dynasty, you have to step on his body.

When Li Qing said such words in the court, many civil officials thought that this was just a prince who was in high profile. However, the generals who fought side by side with him knew that Li Qing had never joked about what he said.

This time, Li Yi also planned to use their three armies to build a steel defense line in Jiannan Road. If any Tubo people dare to come, no matter whether he comes 300,000 or 500,000, Li Yi felt that he could fight with him.

But on the night before their originally planned alliance, Li Neng suddenly received an urgent report from Ge Luofeng from Yaozhou City. This news caused all the things that Li Neng had planned before to stir up trouble!

The news about Ge Luofeng is very simple, that is, his team of scouts discovered that the Tubo people had sent troops, but the direction of the troops was not Jiannan Road of the Tang Dynasty, but the capital of the Nanzhao people and Taihe City!

And at most, one day or more, at least one hundred thousand Tubo army will face Taihe City. Once it does nothing, Taihe City will be destroyed in minutes.

Taihe City is really too important for Nanzhao. If Taihe City is gone, Nanzhao, which unifies the Six Divines, may face a fall apart again.

Moreover, although Taihe City is the capital of Nanzhao people, it is obviously not as strong as Yaozhou. At least it cannot be regarded as a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"This move by the Tubo people is really vicious!"

When he received this news, Li Qing was making arrangements for the next day's march with Zhang Xun, Chen Zhibao and others. As soon as the news came, he immediately informed several people. When Zhang Xun and the others saw it, their faces became a little ugly.

Of course they knew what Li Neng meant. He had just dominated the alliance with the Nanzhao people, and the Tubo people did not fight against the Tang Dynasty, but instead fought against Nanzhao, just to let the Nanzhao people see what the consequences would be like to be a fence-bearer.

According to common sense in this era, the Tang Dynasty itself guarded Jiannan Road was not enough. It was impossible for a mere Taihe City to go to rescue, either Li Yan or Li Guangbi. Instead, they would like to wish that the Tubo people would lose more people in the battle with the Nanzhao people.

In this world where success and defeated enemies are the reality, but the bad guys here may have to be Li Qing.

The letter Ge Luofeng wrote to Li Qing did not even beg Li Qing to rescue his Taihe City, which shows that he was also quite desperate.

Although he did have 100,000 troops in Yaozhou and tens of thousands of defenders in Taihe City, the Tubo people were Tubo people, which was a nightmare for all tribes in this era. Ge Luofeng knew that he could not defeat the Tubo people, and the tens of thousands of troops were definitely not the full strength of the Tubo people.

"Prince, will we still go to Yaozhou City?"

"Go! Let's go now and send a message to Li Guangbi, so that he can immediately rush to Yaozhou City at full speed!"

"Then... let's not care whether the Nanzhao people are still in Yaozhou or not, or set up this battlefield in Yaozhou?" Zhang Xun asked repeatedly when he saw Li Xuan's speech vaguely.
