As the season enters April, the land of Qinghai finally becomes richer in spring. The melting water of ice and snow flows along the terrain, forming rivers. The plants and trees on both sides of the river are growing, and the green marks are used to outline a beautiful spring picture between the vast world.

In previous years, every time this season, the whole Qinghai became lively. Herders kept chasing the water and grass to swim and grazing. In the wilderness, whether it was pastoral or wild cattle and horses, they also enjoyed the gift of vitality between heaven and earth, fed up and gained weight, and accumulated energy to reproduce.

However, this year, although the wilderness is growing wildly, there are few traces of people playing in the wilderness, as if this large wilderness has been forgotten by the world, and the mountains and valleys have become paradises for animals to wander freely.

The reason for this situation is also very simple. The vibrant picture under the sunshine is full of layers of war clouds in the sky. The armies of the two powerful countries of Tang and Turkish countries are each set out from both the east and west, and constantly advancing towards the central area of ​​Qinghai.

The Tuqiang people who originally lived on this land had been gathered and pacified by the army of the two countries, or were hiding in the rugged corners of the valleys and ridges, and did not dare to wander around at will.

Or they were the masters of this land, and they were resting here for generations. But when more powerful forces turned their attention to this place, these so-called masters understood the cruelty of the human truth.

The human affairs in this world have never been a sure endowed. Only powerful people can possess and enjoy everything in the world. If their power is not enough to match everything they have, even if they can be at peace for a moment, they will inevitably face a tragic disaster.

This is the most true portrayal of Qinghai at the moment. It is obvious that the essence of the war is the battle between the Tang and the Turkish countries, but Qinghai has to bear most of the damage caused by the war.

However, as the atmosphere of war becomes stronger and stronger, even the Tu Qiang people in Qinghai are not the focus of how much harm this war will bring to Qinghai, but the direction of the war. Who can become the new conquerors of Qinghai?

The momentum of the army was as stable as a mountain, and the invasion was as fire. When both sides were accumulating their own momentum and were not triggered, the entire Qinghai was already covered with a sense of solemnity of black clouds covering the city and wanting to destroy it. When the main forces of the two countries' armies officially launched, it suddenly became a different scene.

The Tubo army first went to Jiyu City, and after a short rest, it continued to set off and headed straight to Kuhai, the Kuhai in the heart of Qinghai. Kuhai was called Chishui in the Tang Dynasty. There was an important post station on the Tang and Bohai passage in this area called Nuanquanyi. With the arrival of the Fan army, Nuanquanyi became the base camp of the Tubo army. Nuanquanyi went east for several hundred miles and arrived at the entrance of the Aibo Valley Mountain Pass, which the Tang army once involved but was taken back by the Gar family.

At present, the two armies have not yet had substantial collisions and contacts, but from the current situation, the Tubo army has already had a bit of a momentum to take action.

This Tang-Tibet War was caused by the Tang Dynasty's first declaration of war, and the Tang Dynasty made great mobilization after declaring war. By the end of February, 300,000 troops had gathered in Longbian, and even the Tang saints came to Longshang in person, looking fierce.

When the Tang army had already started mobilization before the war, Zanpu of Tubo was still stranded in Xikang, where he swept away the personnel left over from the Tang Kingdom. Even when Bolunzanren of the Gar family returned to the country for help, the Tubo country still did not make the decision to send troops to Qinghai.

After Dalun Qinling arrived at Jiyu City and was under house arrest, Tubo Zanpu finally ordered the whole country to mobilize to Qinghai to fight against the Tang Dynasty.

In terms of time, Tubo was far behind the Tang Dynasty. But in less than a month, Tubo mobilized nearly 400,000 troops to join the battle. From Yalong in the south of Shan to Xiangxiong in the future, of course, the guards directly under the command of Zanpu in Wangtong District, as well as the lost and regained vassals such as Sun Bo and Bailan Qiang.

Although due to the time and distance, a considerable number of these army mobilized by the Tubo are still on the way, such a powerful mobilization is enough to show Tubo's strong style as the overlord of the plateau. At the command of Zanpu, 400,000 troops rode their horses to control their strings to the battlefield. Such a powerful national strength is not inferior to the Tang Dynasty.

Especially the army that entered Qinghai before the Tang army occupied the favorable terrain of Qinghai and established a thousand-mile offensive and defensive front from Jiyu City to Nuanquanyi.

On the other hand, the advancement of the Tang army was not satisfactory. Although the mobilization and assembly of the army was completed in the late February and early March, it was postponed for nearly a month without a major process. To this day, the main force of the Tang army is still slowly advancing along the Dafeichuan line, while the western exit of Dafeichuan is already under the control of the Tubo army. Even the important entrance to the Yellow River Jiuqu is already under the radius of the Tubo army.

Such a strategic pattern may not be intuitive enough, so it can be compared with the battle between Dafeichuan thirty years ago.

Although the Tang army eventually defeated the battle of Dafeichuan, at the beginning of the war, Xue Rengui, the commander of the Tang army, led the army all the way deep, and captured Wuhai near Jiyu City in a very short time with lightning speed. Although there was also a reason why Qinling deliberately penetrated the enemy deep, the Tang army's momentum was definitely not underestimated.

It should be noted that the terrain from the east of Hai to Wuhai is rugged and changing, and overall it is a rising trend. The geographical height of Wuhai is more than 2,000 meters higher than that of the flat rest in the east of Hai. The Tang army crossed thousands of miles in such a short time and overcame such a huge geographical environment to capture Wuhai, the combat effectiveness shown by the Tang army was really amazing.

At that time, the Dalun Qinling captured the enemy as a god. He successfully seized the two incoordinated fighter jets of the Tang army and defeated them separately. He first defeated the rear of the Tang army's baggage, and forced Xue Rengui to retreat to Dafeiling. In the end, he invested 400,000 troops and finally won the war with the tactics of the sea of ​​people.

In this war, the Tang army has invested several times more troops than before, and the clamor before the war is particularly fierce, but when it comes to true performance, it is incomparable to the previous generations. Although it takes the lead, it is slow to move forward, and instead it is seized by Tubo from behind.

Such a difference not only reflects the current Tang army's momentum that is no longer invincible in previous years, but also shows that Tubo is no longer the same as before. The years of discord between the monarch and the ministers has not prevented Tubo from making great progress in its strength.

In previous years, Tubo was able to win against the trend at the most powerful times of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the situation has grown one after another, the direction of the war seems to be even more suspenseless. Therefore, many Tubo generals who arrived at Nuanquanyi first have begun to happily consider when the army can reach Haidong and Chiling, so that the arrogant saints of the Tang Dynasty can see the courage of their Tubo army!

Of course, the Tubo side did not make any blind progress in an unruly manner. How to make the army go ahead? Although Qinling no longer takes charge of military operations, the talented people in the country have also formulated a detailed and meticulous combat plan.

Due to internal struggles in the upper class of Tubo and the disagreement of the monarch and ministers, Qinghai has been a forbidden family for a long time, and the influence that the central government can exert is very limited. Even this time, due to the same reason, the timing of the mobilization of the Tubo army was far behind that of the Tang State. Therefore, the central government did not expect to defeat the Tang army quickly and quickly, but instead made full use of the geographical advantages of plateau combat to gradually weaken and eventually defeat the Tang army.

The first stage of the Tubo war was to seize the exit from the western foot of Dafei River, suppress the main force of the Tang army to the east of the Thunderbo Valley, and prevent the Tang army from continuing to invade the Haixi River.

With the current development of the situation, due to the slow action of the Tang army, it can be said that Tubo’s first strategic intention has been initially achieved. As long as the vanguard army is firmly guarding Nuanquanyi, they can wait for the national army to gather one after another, so that Tubo will gain a military advantage on the front battlefield.

At the same time, during this confrontation, Zamp could also use the power of a large army to continue to solve the problems of the Gar family, and completely end the situation where the Gar family held troops and respected themselves in Haixi.

However, because the goal was achieved too easily, many forward generals were no longer satisfied with the present and wanted to achieve greater military achievements.

After all, this battle with the Tang Dynasty was not just a simple foreign war, but also mixed with the meaning of the realization of the power structure of the central government. The Gar family, the gateway to powerful ministers, will collapse. Whether it is the adjustment of the power of the central government or how Qinghai will be granted the custody in the next year, it is full of imagination.

Under such temptation, many generals could no longer help but be ready to move. Especially with the fall of Da Lun Qinling, there is currently no military god in the Tubo country that can convince everyone in military affairs. Even Zanpu, although his status is respectable, did not show any unparalleled strategic wisdom in military terms.

The current situation is clearly that the Tang army is strong outside and the middle, while the main side is full of momentum. If you stick to old plans and delay, you will undoubtedly miss the advantage and opportunity you have already obtained.

Therefore, after occupying Nuanquanyi, there were many Tubo generals who fully utilized their wisdom of adapting to the generals outside and the emperor's orders. After a little rest, they personally led their troops out of Nuanquanyi and headed straight to Dafeichuan.

Seeing someone doing this, some other foreign generals who were hesitating could not hold back and followed suit. Everyone acted together, even if the battle was not good, they would just return to the rest and rectify the defense. Even if Zanpu wanted to blame, the law would not blame the public, and the punishment everyone would have to bear is limited. But if someone returns with a great victory and doesn’t say that they miss the opportunity, they will also bear the name of a coward, which is really unacceptable!
