0616 Fan country harbors a traitor, benevolent willing to enter Long

The Huangyuan camp was filled with joy of victory everywhere. When he learned that King Yong was about to enter the camp, Heichi Changzhi led a group of generals to ride out of the camp.

"Fortunately, the generals are lucky enough to be unlucky. They will conquer the Hanguo Wuling Hengbao by noon today. The army will be able to settle in one after another today and wait for the attack!"

From a distance, Hei Ya Changzhi turned over and got off the horse, walked to the front of King Yong's horse, held the bridle and handed it, and his pride in his expression was not inferior to that of the young soldiers under his command.

Seeing the black-toothed look in this state, Li Tong frowned faintly, then nodded, raised his arms and waved his whip on the horse's back and laughed: "The soldiers are brave enough to be brave, and they have accumulated this first victory, and they have great achievements!"

When the generals heard this, they all smiled. They got off the horse and walked to the King of Yong, crossed their hands and shouted: "Your Highness is kind to the envoy, and the humble ranks are only to donate their lives to repay you, hunt for Qinghai, and promote our army's power!"

A group of people surrounded King Yong and his party and headed towards the Huangyuan camp. When the campers saw King Yong enter the camp, they all lined up their way and shouted to congratulate.

Lou Shide, who was following King Yong, saw that King Yong interacted with the soldiers intimately, and he felt very emotional. King Yong had not been in Long for a long time, but he had already accumulated a lot of kindness and power in the Heyuan army. It was indeed extraordinary!

After entering the camp, all the idle people retreated, and the soldiers of the Central Army protected the camp. The generals in the tent sat down, and Heichi Changzhi and others had time to tell their separation with Lou Shide.

"Duke Lou returned to Heyuan this time, and the old people were able to gather in front of His Highness Yong's tent to be taught and consul. Qinghai will undoubtedly have a better chance of winning this battle!"

After a long separation, I met Lou Shide, the old partner again. Hei-Teen Changzhi's face was full of smiles. Lou Shide also greeted the soldiers enthusiastically, and was unbearable for joy.

The Heyuan Army was established on the basis of Li Jingxuan's defeat in Chengfengling during the Yifeng period of Emperor Gaozong. In the battle of Chengfengling, Li Jingxuan did not learn military affairs, and the 180,000 Tang troops suffered great losses. This battle was not completely fruitless. The pair of Heichi Changzhi and Lou Shide stood out in this war.

Heichi Changzhi didn't need to say anything. If he hadn't led the deceased soldiers to attack the Tubo army at night, Li Jingxuan's troops would have almost never retreated to the east of Chiling.

As for Lou Shide, he also performed well and was ordered to gather the defeated soldiers, allowing the defeated Tang army fled south of Qinghai to return to Shanzhou, and negotiate with the Tubo general in Chiling, which initially stabilized the situation.

Later, the Heyuan Army was established, and Heichi Changzhi used the Heyuan Army ambassador to be in charge of military affairs, while Lou Shide used the Heyuan Army Sima to be in charge of land camps and fields. It can be said that they had a friendship with each other. Later, Heichi Changzhi was transferred from Heyuan, and Lou Shide stayed in this independent state.

Now that Lou Shide returns to Heyuan again, both Heichi Changzhi and the soldiers of the Heyuan Army are happy. For the soldiers of the Heyuan Army, these two are their most convincing leaders.

Li Tong did not go against his wishes, but just sat in the tent and watched Lou Shide greetings with everyone present, leaving them some time to communicate.

He waited until all the soldiers stopped, and then he spoke again: "Is Qu Yin still there in the battle to attack Bawuling Hengbao?"

Hearing the question of King Yong, Hei-Too Changzhi nodded, his smile calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "Wuling Hengbao is the place where the French countries' Haidong Jiawu gathered and distributed. Before You Yi attacked each other, our army was still unable to get close to its place. Although the battle situation in recent days was not bad, several forts were drawn, but there were still several blocks compared to the encirclement of Wuling Hengbao. Last night, the siege was just knocked on the gate to war and forced the foreign countries to gather You Yi's army back to the fort in order to defeat him in one battle, but Wuling Hengbao was captured..."

After hearing the explanation from Heichi Changzhi, Li Tong realized that the victory was strange. He captured the largest fortress of Fan Kingdom on the western foot of Chiling in just one feint attack, which naturally made people feel strange.

"Is Fan Kingdom taking the initiative to retreat? You Yi searched for Haidong, and found something unusual?"

After thinking about it, Li Tong continued to ask.

Hei Ya Changzhi shook his head: "There is no special army mobilization in Haidong, but it is not ruled out that the possibility of gathering in secret is not ruled out. After all, our visiting army cannot see the thieves' reality. The terrain of Haidong is full of gullies, and the foreign soldiers are wandering around and are not accustomed to fighting around the city, and there are not many beacons to guard the Haidong."

Tubo had just transformed from a tribe to a centralized regime, and its folk customs had not been completely transformed. Although he built a city but did not live in it, he was more accustomed to the old custom of wandering in the felt tents. That is, on the Chiling line, he learned from the Tang army to build some beacons because he wanted to play the role of blocking the terrain and geography.

However, although Tubo basically controlled the Tuyuhun area around Qinghai, it did not repair the city as the regional center. Such habits also resulted in almost no targets with great strategic value. Even if the Tang army entered the country, they could not find any cities that could be surrounded and attacked.

The Tubo army could be distributed at will without being restricted by the city and relying on the geographical location. For example, the two wars of Dafeichuan and Chengfengling tempted the Tang army to penetrate deeper, and then gathered superior forces to launch an attack.

Heichi Changzhi said again: "The previous several major defeats have been absent until now, which makes the army unstable every time they fight with the Fan Kingdom. Although the battle to conquer Wuling Hengbao is strange, they dare not let the soldiers know about it. If they suspect that the Fan Kingdom has another potential, the military might be depressed..."

After hearing this, Li Tong nodded and agreed with Heichi Changzhi's view. It is also a skill that a general must master as a general. Once the soldiers feel panic and fearful, it is better not to fight this war. Even if they know that the castle is conquered strangely, they can only publicize that this is an amazing victory.

Before Li Tong entered the camp, he realized this and realized that Black-Teel Changzhi's emotions were too exposed. Although he had not been in contact with Black-Teel Changzhi for a long time, he did not understand it very lightly. He was a steady person and had a calmness that did not change color. If he conquered the enemy's stronghold by conventional tactics, even if he had any emotions, he would never be so pretentious.

"The foreign country has taken the initiative to retreat, either because there is a change in the middle of the country and needs to shrink the prevention and control power around Qinghai, or it is a re-using technique to use it to augment our army's morale and lure me into the depths."

"There are no two situations in the last private discussion. It is hard to say which one is. The foreign kings and ministers have a deep conflict. Qin Ling may not dare to fight with our army for a long time and be involved in military strength, so he takes the initiative to retreat. If he does not abandon the land and protect himself, he may be secretly gathering armor and hopes to fight in a decisive battle."

Heichi Changzhi further explained his views on King Yong, adding: "No matter in any situation, Qinling is unwilling to fight our army for a long time. If the enemy does not want it, I must do it. If we march towards the east of the sea, we should also make a safe plan and take every step forward, and we should not advance rashly."

Speaking of this, Heichi Changzhi looked at His Highness Yong with a little more admiration, and he said with emotion: "Your Highness is good at ease in the Longbian situation, gathering all forces to help the military, so that our army can be calm and long-term. Since Qinling has no situation of being united inside and outside, he needs to make plans for chaos and urgent matters, no matter what the subsequent plan is, he will be defeated in this battle without fighting!"

Although the Tang army and the Tubo army on the Chiling line can be said to be the most elite troops of the two countries, they both face the same dilemma, that is, the rear is unstable and cannot cross Chiling for long-term operations, and accumulate strategic advantages with time.

However, with King Yong climbing to Long and uniting the forces of all parties, the difficulties of the Heyuan Army in this regard have been alleviated. With rich logistics reserves, Heiqi Changzhi can never compete for temporary achievements and formulate a long-term development strategy in Haidong.

But on the other hand, the Tubo abandoning the Chiling defense line, whether active or passive, is actually a manifestation of weakness. Even if Qinling intends to replicate the previous two big wins, whether his plan can be successful is based on whether the Tang army will advance straight, which is itself a tactical passive.

In terms of individual soldiers' qualities, even if the Tubo army is brave and fierce, it is not strong enough to be invincible, and it is even faintly weaker than the Tang army.

This is not a self-esteem when closed. The two hundred years of war between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have fought countless battles of all sizes. It can be said that as long as there is no combat environment suppression of the plateau climate, Tubo has always been defeated more and won less.

Of course, the unique plateau climate is also one of the advantages of the Tubo army, and it is not a reason to belittle its combat effectiveness. But even when fighting on the plateau, when the Tang Dynasty's strategic regulation is properly and without taking into account the other, fighting with Tubo is not weak.

After Geshuhan conquered Shibao City during the Tianbao period, he built a city in Haidong, Qinghai. At that time, Tubo had already dared not approach the surrounding area of ​​Qinghai. If the Anshi Rebellion had not broken out and the elite troops of Longyou retreated completely, how could there have been a tragedy of complete fall of Longyou?

Even though Tubo has already occupied such a strong strategic advantage, he still has no choice but to use the lonely army guarding Anxi. Therefore, in terms of combat effectiveness, there is no need to overly demonize Tubo.

One mistake can lead to wisdom. The two battles between Dafeichuan and Chengfengling each have huge tactical flaws. In a battlefield environment like Qinghai, although the Tang Dynasty was the attacking party, it did not have the initiative. The deeper it went into the environment, the more serious the initiative was lost.

In the special battle of Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui drove straight into the west border of Tuyuhun, Wuhai. However, due to improper cooperation in the rear, he had to retreat to Dafeichuan. Between advancing and retreating, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army had been severely consumed, and this repetition of military force gave the Tubo army the opportunity to gather, with 400,000 troops siegeing and killing 50,000 Tang army on an exhausted journey.

So no matter what, Li Tong would not repeat this mistake again. I am not short of money and food, but I led my army to Qinghai for tourism. I was so stupid that he ran straight to the inner land of Qinghai and sent people to the heads.

The current Tubo military god is in internal and external troubles, and he is in a state of great difficulty. He failed to launch an offensive against Longyou at the first time, allowing Li Tong to enter Long for some integration. Now the Longyou front can barely support long-term consumption. As long as he can maintain his presence around Qinghai for a long time, the Tuyuhun part controlled by Qinling can collapse faster and faster.
