    Chapter 50 Overall Layout

    The fire burned all night. Due to the lack of timely and effective rescue, many flammable materials took advantage of the situation and burned more and more fiercely. In the end, it was impossible to control it, and all the materials could only be watched helplessly.

    Most of the houses near the warehouse were also damaged, causing the Tayue Liuxiang to burn out.

    However, because the fire in the warehouse started first, the people nearby were awakened, but the number of casualties was not large.

    But just like Yuan Cao's Guandu, this fire became a turning point in the war.

    The fire burned so fiercely that it shook the entire Luoxue City. Even the Tang Army outside the city knew the news immediately.

    However, the information they received was not that accurate. They only learned through special channels that there was a fire in the savings warehouse in Luoshou City.

    After hearing the news, Luo Tong and Xue Rengui immediately got together to discuss the matter.

    "It's amazing. The Chief Manager is so awesome I really don't know how the Chief Manager did it" Xue Rengui was amazed. Although there was no factual evidence that all these things were related to Du He, he had already guessed it.  Du He is the real person behind the scenes, the mastermind behind all this.

    Luo Tong was both surprised and took it for granted. The accident happened because he had witnessed so many miracles happening beside Du He. Some things that should have been strange were no longer strange. He danced with his fists.  Said: "The warehouse was burned. I believe that Luozhe City must be in chaos now. This is an opportunity to take advantage of. How about we attack the city now?"

    "Inappropriate" Xue Rengui said in deep thought: "I think the purpose of sending us here is not as simple as attacking the city What's more, even if we attack the city at this moment, even if we can take advantage, we may not be able to defeat Songtsan.  We need to capture the logic point before Ganbu arrives. Even if we can capture the logic point, we will pay a huge price. This is different from the way the general manager fights. The general manager is good at planning, such as Han Xin's accident, he likes to use tricks to  Minimum casualties in exchange for maximum results. I don¡¯t think his purpose in asking us to come here is just to let us attack the city. There must be some hidden meaning, but we didn¡¯t realize it.¡±

    Luo Tong felt a headache. He rubbed his temples vigorously and said, "I can't guess what the chief manager is thinking. Really, I just need to say it directly."

    Xue Rengui's eyes sparkled and he said with a smile: "This is the good intention of the General Manager. He is trying to train our autonomy. I believe he has a back-up plan and will let someone tell us our combat intentions when we are at our wits' end."  But when it gets to that point, it means that we are incompetent and can only act as the right-hand man under the general manager, without being able to truly stand up and become an independent general."

    When Luo Tong heard this, his expression became serious.

    A soldier who doesn¡¯t want to be a general is not a good soldier.  Similarly, a general who does not want to be a commander is not a good general.  Luo Tong and Xue Rengui both had the skills of Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, and they also had the ambition to be independent, so they immediately immersed themselves in thinking.

    Xue Rengui was superior to Luo Tong in terms of intelligence and strategy, and his thoughts turned extremely quickly. He muttered: "The general manager doesn't care about Luoche City. Could it be that he is in Songtsen Gampo's army Yes" His eyes lit up.  Said: "Songtsen Gampo is worried about the city of Luoche and will definitely come in a hurry. Our army is recharging its strength to attack Luoche. We are recharging our strength to face the tiring journey from far away. Even if we don't have the strength to go up,  With the advantage, we can still stop them. When the Grand Controller's army arrives, the troops will attack from the front and back, and they will defeat Tubo that day."

    After thinking about it, Xue Rengui had a plan, but he did not say it out loud, waiting for Luo Tong to think about it himself.

    Luo Tong was also a wise and brave general. He thought for a long time and figured out the key. He smiled and said: "It turned out to be this idea. I mean, how could the chief manager have such logical thoughts for no reason? It turned out that he wanted to flank Song.  Zangtsen Gampo. Since the general manager believes in us so much, we can't embarrass him. Let's do this, Rengui, you lead the army to intercept Songtsen Gampo. As for the garrison in Luoche City, leave it to me. One thousand  We have enough troops." The most critical aspect of this method is that before Du He's army arrives, they will be attacked first.  How to survive this attack is the most difficult thing.

    Luo Tong knew that Xue Rengui was superior to him, so he asked him to lead an army to deal with Songtsen Gampo.  He would just make do with it, dealing with the 5,000 defenders who might come out of the city to cooperate with Songtsen Gampo.

    Xue Rengui did not refuse. He really wanted to have a fight with Songtsen Gampo, the great power that emerged from Tubo.

    **********

    When the news that the Luoxe Qucang and Yongcang warehouses were burned down reached the ears of Songtsen Gampo, the southwestern overlord was stunned and stood stupidly for a while. Then he came back to his senses and said in a somewhat lost voice: "  Good means?Good means.  "

    Songtsen Gampo knew that he was completely defeated. Facing Du He, who was not much different in age from him, he was completely defeated.

    "Zanpu, what should we do next?" The question was asked by Songtsen Gampo's beloved general Gerdan. At this moment, this violent Tubo general was a little confused in the face of this situation.  No one who can be a general is a fool. Even Gerdan, who doesn't like to use his brain, knows what it means to have his economic lifeline burned down.

    Songtsen Gampo forced himself to stay calm and thought deeply: "There is no need to go to Luochu. Even if we can break through the Tang army on the other side of Luochu, there will be no food in the city. If we go there, we will end up on a dead end and make the Tang army trapped."  In the dead city." He gritted his teeth and said: "Instruct the whole army to turn to the southwest and join the Qinling troops." He did not carry much food and grass, and there was no food and grass support in the surrounding towns. He could only defend Qinling from Zhangxiong Kingdom.  There is still some leftover food somewhere.

    Songtsen Gampo discovered at this moment that the decision he had taken to be a wise man had at this moment become the decision that would put him to death.

    "What should we do about that?" After hearing Songtsen Gampo's order, many generals shouted dissatisfied.

    Luoche is their capital and also their home.  Once they gave up Luozu, it would be impossible for Luozuo's five thousand defenders to resist the tens of thousands of Tang troops.  As long as the logic is lost, it means that their families will become captives and prisoners of their subordinates.

    Although the Tang Dynasty still awaits prisoners, prisoners are prisoners. It is impossible to raise them unconditionally like parents. They must suffer hardships.  Because of his own incompetence, his family suffers. This is a fact that even the elders cannot accept.

    "Zanpu, we should fight back and kill all the Tang people with our swords. Luoche is our capital and our home. We cannot abandon it." A general shouted loudly, his eyes turning red.

    His words aroused public recognition.

    Songtsen Gampo's eyes also turned red, and he said sternly: "I understand, Luozu has your family, but why don't you have my family and son? Your queen is also in Luozu now. If possible, I don't want to give up just like that.  . But so what if you don¡¯t give up? There is no food in the city, and our army cannot last for a month. As soon as the food and grass are used up, we will be prisoners, and your family will become prisoners. They will be forced to accompany other men.  , no one can change it. But as long as we are still here, the Tang army will not be considered a victory, and they will not dare to do anything to our families. We also have a chance to save them. Soldiers, I, Songtsan Gampo, am here to honor  Guarantee, we will expel Tang Jun and reunite you with your family."

    Songtsen Gampo still has great authority in the hearts of the Tibetan soldiers. After hearing what he said, the generals were calmed down.

    Songtsan Gampo also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Pass my military order, the three armies will move quickly and meet up with the Qinling tribe" Before he could say the word "join", his expression moved. This was Du He's clever plan.  Wushuang, step by step, calculated his actions step by step, dug holes for himself to drill, he was able to predict his return to the army in advance, and sent generals to intercept him before that, could he still not predict his retreat route?  ?  If we really go to this step and set up an ambush on the way between our army and Qinling, wouldn't our army be trapped in a trap from three sides?

    With this thought in his mind, Songtsan Gampo whispered: "Wait a minute, go eastward. Tell the whole army, go eastward quickly." As long as you avoid this disaster and remain undefeated, you can still win with the two trump cards in your hand.  Opportunity.

    **********

    The Tang Army¡¯s military camp.

    Tan Ma has already told Du He about Songtsen Gampo¡¯s actions.

    With a calm smile on his face, Du He listened quietly, not feeling strange at all.

    Zhang Liang, Niu Jinda, Liu Lan, Xin Li'er, Liu Boying and other generals are now somewhat convinced of Du He. Since the change of sovereignty in the war between Tang and Tu, they have all been shocked by Du He's interlocking layout.  It is unimaginable to understand the depth of Du He's layout.  What he lacks now is a big victory to prove that his layout has achieved perfect results.

    Zhang Liang shouted regretfully that it was a pity.

    He already knew Du He's overall layout and knew that Du He planned to set up an ambush on Songtsan Gampo's way to Qinling. He would use the ambush, the main force, and the Luotong tribe to form a triangle to surround the Tibetan army and capture this fertile land in one fell swoop.  Eat the meat.

    Seeing that the goal was about to be achieved, Songtsen Gampo escaped from the encirclement, which is really regrettable.

    Du He said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, there are many opportunities. He escaped from the dead end, which means that the Qinling tribe is in a dead end Deputy General Manager Zhang, you will march with 50,000 troops today, and Luo Tong will  , Xue Rengui's troops, attack Luoche City. I will lead the remaining troops to meet the Tibetan God of War"

    ??Du He uses troops and plans, is the best at layout, and the layout is closely connected.?, linked together.

    Since realizing the fatal weakness of Tibetan supplies, Du He launched a plan to force Songtsan Gampo to withdraw his troops with Luo Tong and Xue Rengui.  The first dead knot is the pincer attack tactic that Xue Rengui thought of, the second dead knot is the three-way pincer attack detected by Songtsen Gampo, and the third dead knot is the Qinling tribe.

    Because there is the Luotong tribe in the south, the main force of Du He in the north, and the Tang army's ambush in the west, which is the direction of the Qinling tribe.

    Songtsan Gampo¡¯s only way to escape is to the east, which means that he is getting farther and farther away from the Qinling tribe, and the Qinling tribe will fall into a desperate situation of fighting alone.

    Even if Songtsen Gampo escaped from death, the Qinling tribe and Luoche would still be eaten by the Tang army.

    No matter how Songtsan Gampo moves his chess, it cannot escape the fact that the Tang army will benefit, nor can it be separated from Du He's calculation
