    The generals who followed Du Xiang to Haixi that day stayed in Fuqi City for a few days, and thoroughly inspected the city's defenses and the daily training and management of the Shenwei Army. They all received a lot of inspiration and planned to return to their own army.  Later, some improvements and imitations were made.  Du Xiang was naturally very satisfied with Tuesday. After personally witnessing the exercises of the Divine Power Army, he no longer worried about whether the Divine Power Army could compete with the Tibetan people in Haixi.  Privately, Du Xixi also quietly asked Tuesday where the nearly 20,000 extra soldiers and horses in the city were now hiding.  On Tuesday, he deceived Du Hope and said that 10,000 soldiers and horses were hidden in the Meng Valley, 5,000 soldiers and horses had returned to the Baishui Army, and 4,000 soldiers had withdrawn and returned to the countryside to farm in the forts outside the city.  When Lao Du heard this, he slapped his thigh and scolded Tuesday for being a prodigal. Since all the soldiers had been trained, how could he still let thousands of soldiers go to farm?  On Tuesday, he had no choice but to explain to Du Hope that the thousands of soldiers who went to farm in the forts outside the city were all Tuyuhun, Turks and other Hu people he had recruited from the Longyou area, in order to polish off the unruly spirit of these Hu soldiers.  They are angry, so it is also a good idea to drive them from horseback into the fields to cultivate.  Du Xiang thought about it carefully and realized that this was a solution, so he nodded in acquiescence.  A few days later, Du Hope took a group of subordinates to Moli City where the Baishui Army was located. It turned out that the training level of the soldiers of the Baishui Army was better than that of the Shenwei Army, so everyone treated Wang Zhongsi better.  Praise and praise.  The ten thousand soldiers that everyone saw in Fuqi City were compared with the five thousand soldiers that Li Guangbi brought back to Moli City.  Overall it is slightly worse.  Because Lu Dayong followed Zhou Chengye's instructions and specially selected 10,000 soldiers with the shortest training level, so the 5,000 soldiers allocated to the Baishui Army were naturally slightly better.  As for why Tuesday kept the "bad soldiers" for himself and gave the "good soldiers" to Wang Zhongsi, it is unknown.  Of course, these soldiers were recruited from all over the Tang Dynasty, and the overall level was not that different. In particular, some soldiers were only trained for a short period of time. After training for a period of time, they could catch up.  Wang Zhongsi saw that the five thousand recruits brought back by Li Guangbi were so "awesome".  I was also very happy.  I feel that Tuesday is really a good person and a good brother that I can trust and make friends with.  Although some of the elites were taken away by Guo Yingyi, the Shenwei Army and the White Water Army were still strong, which made Du Hope feel a lot more at ease.  It also made the generals of other armies who were originally unconvinced with these two armies stop making noises.  The situation in Shanzhou thus transitioned smoothly.  There was no internal turmoil caused by the change of coach.  This change of generals and the mobilization of troops and horses within the Tang Dynasty.  Although it was done in a very secretive and low-key manner, it could not be hidden from the Tubo Kingdom, which had many eyes and ears and detailed work spread all over the Tang Dynasty.  When the leader of the Tubo Kingdom, Tride Zuzan, learned of this information, he immediately gave an order to General Zadayan.  He ordered him to gather his troops and withdraw his troops from Congling and return to support the Chavarong area in the southeast of Tubo and adjacent to Yaozhou. He also ordered the deputy prime minister Wu Manguo to lead an army of 50,000 to rush to the Doma area west of Jishi Mountain.  ; and also gave an urgent order to the new Tubo Qinghai Governor Mo Xihanshe, ordering him to shrink his troops in the Naluyi area, pay close attention to the movements of Shanzhou armies, and be prepared to fight against the invasion of the Tang army.  From the series of orders of Tride Zuzan, it is not difficult to see that this Tibetan king whose achievements are second only to Songtsen Gampo is indeed not in vain.  He had a keenness and insight that others could not match in terms of grand strategy related to Tubo. Just by Wang Yu's resignation and Guo Yingyi's adjustment of office, he could smell the Tang Dynasty's intention to use troops against Tubo.  The Tubo side was in a hurry to mobilize troops and generals, but the Tang Dynasty was not idle either.  Soon after Du Xiang took office in Shanzhou, he wrote a letter to the emperor, giving a detailed report on Shanzhou's current preparations for war. The article did not hesitate to praise Wang Zhongsi and Zhou Chengye.  After Li Longji read Du Hope's memorial, Long Yan was overjoyed and said to several prime ministers: "Judging from Du Hope's report in the memorial, the Shanzhou garrison has strong troops and strong morale. Although Guo Yingyi took away 20,000 elite troops to go  Xichuan, but soon made up for the shortfall, which is enough for the next battle! " "Shanzhou is where Longyou's heavy troops are gathered. Now there are 100,000 troops eyeing Tubo. Since Shanzhou's troops and horses are available, then we, the Tang Dynasty, will fight against Tubo!  The counterattack will be more confident!" Li Linfu immediately echoed and said: "Since the Holy Emperor ascended the throne, the country's power has become stronger. Now our Tang Dynasty has strong troops and strong people's support. It is a great opportunity to use troops against Tubo!"  He is the Minister of the Ministry of War. Over the years, he has shown sufficient talents in managing domestic affairs. Now he only lacks military achievements, so he is very supportive of Li Longji's idea of ??counterattacking Tibet.?.  Seeing that Li Linfu was so keen on fighting against Tibet, Niu Xianke felt a little conflicted, because he felt that it would be a bit impatient to attack Tibet now. It would be better to wait until Guo Yingyi established a foothold in Xichuan and controlled the six imperial edicts in the southwest before using troops.  Although he had some objections in his heart, Li Linfu had contributed a lot to Niu Xianke's appointment as prime minister, so Lao Niu, an honest man, could not express his objections openly, so he remained silent.  Another prime minister, Chen Xilie, was a nerd. He cared little about military matters. Seeing that the emperor and Li Linfu had said this, he also echoed: "Since we are going to send troops to Tibet, your Majesty can appoint a minister to Longyou with full power."  Scheduling and commanding this big battle, lest the armies in Hexi and Longyou can't do their own thing and fight on their own. " Li Longji felt that what Chen Xilie said was quite reasonable, so he asked: "Who do you think I should appoint?  Go to Longyou to take charge?" Li Linfu immediately said loudly: "I am a humble minister, but I would like to share your worries and go to Longyou in person!" Niu Xianke had guessed Li Linfu's eagerness to make achievements in military affairs, so he said  : "Li Xiang is the Minister of the Ministry of War. If he goes to Longyou in person, all the military governors and governors of various states will be willing to accept his control and command. He is really the best candidate!" When Chen Xilie saw Niu Xianke, they all agreed that Li Linfu would go in person.  Longyou was in command of the great battle between Tang and Tu, so naturally he had no objections.  Li Longji nodded in agreement and said, "Then I will take the trouble of Li Qing to go to Longyou for me this time. I wonder what your request is?" Li Linfu thought for a moment, and replied solemnly: "I am reporting to your Majesty, even though I am a humble minister.  I have never led troops in battle, but I also know that battlefield situations change rapidly, and we must make prompt decisions when encountering emergencies without hesitation. Therefore, I sincerely request your majesty to allow me to have discretionary power in Longyou and temporarily appoint officials at all levels below the governor.  , Do it for the sake of convenience!" Li Longji felt that Li Linfu's request was normal and did not exceed the rules, so he nodded and said: "Li Qing's request is reasonable and reasonable, I agree!" Then, the monarch and his ministers carefully discussed the specific steps for sending troops to Tibet.  and various preparation matters.  (To be continued.
