Chapter 468 Breaking out a Great Tang Dynasty!
"All the people who responded to Wu's disciples were killed, and the people present didn't even send out a signal. It seems that the inner guards of the Tang people have dispatched a large number of good hands..."

Siddhoyu, the fourth eldest of the five Gar brothers, unfolded the letter sent back, showing a thoughtful expression.

He was originally in charge of the dark guards, who were responsible for internal and external intelligence. Later, the dark guards dispersed, and after the reconciliation between the main line and the side branches, the assassins were transferred to him for deployment.

Recently, Sita has been running around, collecting as much information as possible on Anxi, and made this bold attempt.

The result made him somewhat regretful.

It would definitely be the best if Wu's sons could be brought into Tubo, not only because these people were foreign relatives, the Tang people would be more or less afraid, but their understanding of the Tang army's internal affairs would also help the Tubo army improve its chances of winning.

But Xi Duoyu didn't hold out too much hope, and it still failed. The group of foreign relatives were rescued by the Tang people, and all his people died outside the Anxi Governor's Mansion.

But it's not like there's nothing to gain, at least it can prove that the Tang people are prepared in the Anxi Protectorate, and the internal guards must have been mobilized.

Siddha thought all the way, and walked all the way to the barracks.

Before they arrived, they heard a shrill scream, and when they walked forward, a strong smell of blood wafted over.

Siddhartha was no stranger to seeing rows of soldiers being escorted to the side and beheaded for public display.

I just counted the number of people silently, and found that the number of people killed today was almost double that of the previous ten days. There was still worry in Xi Duoyu's eyes.

If you want to reach the Western Regions from Tubo, you need to cross the uninhabited Qiangtang and Kunlun Mountains.

Even if you are not familiar with geography, you can imagine the difficulties when you hear these two names.

Later, when Tubo captured Tuyuhun, they could travel westward from Haixi along the Shule River, along the Qilian Mountains to Qiemo City in the southern part of the Western Regions, and thus enter Anxi.

But that road is also difficult to walk, not to mention the long distance, there are many mountains and ravines on the way, and the transportation cost is also a huge test. Compared with the transportation cost of entering Anxi via Longyou in the Tang Dynasty, it is much higher.

So Tubo has always been eyeing Longyou, and then took advantage of the Anshi Rebellion to occupy Longyou, and its national power suddenly expanded.

Of course, at that time, Tubo's military capabilities also declined compared to the Qinling era, but all parties went downhill. In the end of the competition, Tubo became the most outstanding performer.

This time Tubo couldn't stand out anymore. A team of nearly [-] people went northward, and when they arrived in the Western Regions, there were not even [-] people.

This is still when Qinling is launching iron and blood methods to clean up military discipline. If Wu Ruru's relatives make mistakes, their bodies will be thrown in the Kunlun Mountains. On the contrary, those who perform outstandingly will be promoted immediately.

Undoubtedly, such an operation is a political taboo, but Qin Ling is completely from the perspective of military victory, and does not consider other things at all, in order to sharpen this army into an unstoppable edge through marching.

Either return with a big victory, or die in a foreign country!

There will be no third possibility!

When Sitayu walked into the main tent, he also saw that the brothers were all there. Qinling and Zanpo were standing in front of Anxi's map, Bulun Zanren was taking care of Zan Xiruo, and the five brothers were neatly organized.

Qin Ling's attention was extremely concentrated, while Zan Po was the first to see him walk in: "The fourth brother is back, how about Wu's relatives?"

Xi Duoyu shook his head slightly: "The people I sent were intercepted and killed, and all of them died outside the Anxi Governor's Mansion, including Wu Youning, who should have been rescued by the Tang people."

Only then did Qin Ling say, "It's okay, now that we're here, it doesn't matter whether we have relatives from the Tang Dynasty!"

Zan Po frowned: "The key is that those survivors of Gaochang are really plotting to restore the country, or are they a trap set by the inner guards of the Tang Dynasty?"

Bren Zanren looked over immediately, but this time Sita didn't show face to the younger brother: "I'm leaning towards the trap."

"The domestic political situation in the Tang Dynasty was turbulent, externally aggressive and internally deficient. What the fifth younger brother said is correct, and it is basically certain. Businessmen who have been in and out of the Western Regions during this period have heard of it. , not far from death."

"However, after the recovery of the inner guards of the Tang Dynasty, it became more and more impossible to ignore. Silla's easy subjugation was due to the great contribution made by Li Yuanfang, the leader of the inner guards. , Emperor Tang is about to die, he may be even more urgent to make meritorious deeds to destroy the country, so as to maintain his position in the next court!"

"Gaochang's restoration of the country is most likely a puzzle deliberately set up by this person in front of the fifth brother!"

Bren Zanjian muttered: "The fourth brother thinks Li Yuanfang too much..."

Zan Po sighed: "The key is that the Tang people are strong and powerful. Even if they are trapped in civil strife, they still have a hundred years of prestige in running the Western Regions. The countries in the Western Regions fear it like a tiger. After all, I, Tubo, is a young and strong country, and I must have the cooperation of the local survivors."

Xi Duoyu's face darkened, he didn't understand the truth, if Gaochang's restoration of the country was a sham, then they won the battle, but they would not be able to control this area, let alone use it as a springboard to capture Longyou.

Just when the atmosphere was calm, Qin Ling waved his hand: "Don't say too much!"

He has always been confident and confident in commanding the army, and he will be the courage of the army, so that he can serve better: "Tomorrow we will attack Khotan, and we will go to Anxi Dufu in half a month. No matter whether Gaochang's restoration of the country is true or not, I will fight Make it real!"

The morale of the brothers was boosted, and they clasped their fists together: "Yes!"

Zanpo and Sita quickly went to make the final arrangements for the siege, while Brun Zanren was still guarding his elder brother, but he heard footsteps.

He raised his head, and found that Qin Ling, who was full of confidence just now, had become haggard and tired visibly, and even showed an unprecedented depression and retreat. Looking at his brother on the sick bed, his eyes were red: "Brother!"

Zan Xiruo slowly opened his eyes.

With his sickly body and the long-distance bumps, he was already dying, but he held his breath forcefully, and he wanted to see his family survive this most difficult hurdle.

Qin Ling felt very uncomfortable.

The most uncomfortable thing is that he can only confide to this elder brother now: "I followed my father since I was a child, destroyed Tuyuhun, deterred the Western Regions, and the victory of Dafeichuan shook the world. Brave and brave, I also have the confidence to defeat it!"

"But this battle... I really don't have the slightest chance of winning. I can think of too many ways for the Tang army to win, and the only thing left for us is a desperate fight!"

"Brother, my family is now fleeing to Dashi, can it still work?"

Zan Xiruo opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, he just shook his head slowly and looked at the younger brother.

"I understand!"

Qin Ling wiped his eyes, regained his former self-confidence, and walked out in a hurry.

Only Zan Xiruo, whose chest heaved gently, and Bren Zanren, whose face was full of tears, remained.

It turns out that my second brother is not invincible...

……

The next day.

The momentum of the Tubo army, which had been accumulated for more than a month, was unreservedly vented at this moment.

Khotan, an important military town repeatedly built by the Tang army, became a flat boat in the turbulent waves before it arrived in just an hour, and it was in danger.

Sitting upright on the horse, Qinling coldly directed the troops to take turns to go into battle: "This Khotan town is still guarded by the Hu tribe from the Western Regions before, and the main force of the Tang army has not yet arrived!"

His son Gong Ren said excitedly: "Father, the Tang people are busy fighting internally, how can they send so many troops? If there are only a few tens of thousands, this battle will just kill them, and the next attack on Longyou will be much easier!"

Qinling was noncommittal, carefully watching the Western Regions on the wall struggling to resist, and the ministries he trained were bloody every step of the way, extremely tragic!
This is only Khotan, the weakest of the four towns!

And how long can their morale, their food and grass last?
"The morale of the thieves, the food and grass of the thieves will not last long!"

In the Anxi Governor's Mansion, Xue Rengui in military uniform didn't even open Khotan's letter, and made an assertion based on the time when the town fell.

Li Yan stood by the side and participated in the final plan of the final battle.

When discussing whether to stick to Khotan Town, it was a heated discussion. Even Pei Xingjian preferred to guard this town, so that not a single inch of Anxi Dufu's land would fall into the hands of Tubo.

But Xue Rengui still issued an order that Khotan Town, as the first stop of the Tubo army rushing down the Tianshan Mountains, was difficult to defend regardless of the level of city defense or geographical location and had to be abandoned.

And the black-toothed Changzhi's edge to defeat the enemy was also denied by him, what Xue Rengui wanted was for Qin Ling to make persistent efforts and make long-distance raids.

He was sure Qin Ling would do that.

In addition to the consideration of morale, there is also the unsustainable food and grass. According to the speed of the opponent's march, even if they reduce their numbers on a large scale, the food and grass will be consumed faster. Once they enter the country, they must quickly expand the results of the battle.

On the basis of all kinds of information, Xue Rengui calculated every step of the Tubo army clearly, and even took into account the unique geographical advantage.

Just as the Tubo army had the plateau advantage in the past, the Tang army also has an environmental advantage this time.

From the plains to the plateau, there will be altitude sickness, combined with the background of this era, it is called cold miasma.

Going straight down from the plateau to the plains, you will actually feel uncomfortable. Tang Jun, who returned to Guanzhong from Tuyuhun, also verified this point. It is low altitude sickness, also known as drunken oxygen. The words of this era have not yet been summarized. .

Ever since, when he saw the Tubo army rushing straight to the town of Qiuci where the Anxi Dufu Mansion is located, Xue Rengui suddenly thought of himself in the past. It was a lifelong shame to attribute the failure to the astrology, but when it was time to fight Qinling again On the contrary, he was extremely calm and made a plan to wipe out Tubo for the camp step by step.

Everything was turned into a brief but impassioned pre-war declaration: "Tibetan wolves are ambitious and greedy for our wealth and wealth in the Tang Dynasty. They are vicious and vicious. It has not been a short time to do harm. This time is a good time to be brave and shameful. When we are excited The national prestige wins over killing the bandits and destroying this bandit country!"

The generals suddenly promised: "Successfully kill the bandits, and destroy this bandit country!!"

It's frightening to kill a bandit!
Kill a six-barbarian suit!
Kill a prosperous Tang Dynasty!
