Hou Jun said helplessly: "General, this is too difficult. If we continue to search like this, we might as well sneak back to Luoche City and capture some of Songtsen Gampo's cronies in the palace and torture them. Maybe it will be faster this way." Found it." "Yes, yes, searching aimlessly like this makes my head hurt, oh, my old legs are a bit overwhelmed. When a person is interested in a certain kind of work, he will become extremely focused and can work for any length of time without getting tired. On the contrary, when a person is not interested in something, then he will have inexplicable anxiety and inner resistance, which will lead to It's easy to feel tired. These guys are all lazy, and they probably don't like this action. Qian Weiqiang, who seldom spoke, suddenly said: "General, I have an idea." "Oh, tell me." Qian Weiqiang hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Those tunnels are probably not very big. At least it's impossible to race horses or ride in cars there. Tubo is a plateau. If there is a secret passage, it cannot be infinitely long. Once he leaves the secret passage, he has to escape. If he escapes, he cannot use two legs. If this is the case, , then he must have horses. Why don't we check where there are many good horses in captivity near Luoche City, especially those that have not been moved for a long time. It is very likely that Songtsen Gampo established a secret stronghold. " "Yes. Guan Yong slapped his thigh fiercely and said: "Songtsan Gambo is not a man with three heads and six arms, let alone flying and escaping. He will definitely need horses to run. As long as we make a fuss about the horses, we will definitely have clues." Liu Yuan's eyes also lit up. This was a good idea. When he heard that there was a secret passage, he focused all his attention on getting into the secret passage. He only asked them to search in some possible places, but they were all confused. However, One of the most important issues has been ignored. The outlet is dead, but the person is alive. As long as you find the right direction, no matter how tightly you hide it, it will be exposed. Everyone applauded, and Liu Yuan also said happily: "Well, yes, Colonel Qian, you have made a great contribution." "General, you have made a great contribution, is there any reward?" Qian Weiqiang suddenly rubbed his hands and said. "I'll reward you with a big leg of lamb. Are you satisfied?" Liu Yuan laughed and joked with this old subordinate. Qian Weiqiang said with a smile: "No, I won't reward you. The little one can eat a leg of lamb. It's not impossible." "Then what do you want?" "Looking for a female Lele" Qian Weiqiang said. The old man in the army made such a request with a smile on such an informal occasion. Liu Yuan knew that Qian Weiqiang was a sultry man. Most of the money he earned as a soldier went to brothels. When he was rich, he became an oiran. When she had no money, she also worked as a prostitute. It can be said that she "had countless women." Among the powerful men, Liu Yuan, who had several wives and concubines, was the most popular person, while Qian Weiqiang was jokingly called the most obscene person. This This guy actually asked for a beautiful woman to be given to him in front of everyone. What a beautiful idea. "This. The camp is full of men now. Who can open your mother's door for you? Go back to Chang'an." Liu Yuan said angrily. "The general is omnipotent. As long as the general wants, there is nothing he can't do." Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "As long as the mother is fine?" "Yes" "Ahem" Liu Yuan deliberately cleared his throat, and then said seriously : "Tangshan" Tangshan didn't expect Liu Yuan to call him suddenly, and he was frightened. He immediately stood up and said loudly: "Here we are." "After dinner, you go pick a ewe and send it to our Qian Xiaowei's tent, um. Get a tender one." "Hahaha ¡± ¡°Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they laughed so hard that some even held their stomachs and laughed so much that their stomachs hurt. Qian Weiqiang was so angry that his face turned red, and he wished he could find some place to go. He squeezed in and repeatedly begged Liu Yuan and everyone for mercy. Unexpectedly, his own joke made him unable to hold his head up. When everyone was tired of laughing, Liu Yuan motioned for everyone to calm down, and then said seriously: "When marching and fighting, you are risking your life. You may die at any time, so you can't be careless. I don't care how you usually play with women, but in war During this time, my subordinates are not allowed to touch women, lest they only focus on pleasure, their military morale will be shattered, and sex is like a knife that scrapes bones. Do you understand?" Everyone saw that Liu Yuan was serious, and everyone agreed with a serious look. Qian Weiqiang I wanted to say something about Liu Yuan forcing the Tibetan Princess and Overlord to cross his sword during the expedition, making fun of him for his own injustice, and also wanted to say something about others, but as soon as it came to his mouth, he swallowed it again. ¡°If one is a superior and the other is a subordinate, if he really does this, he is asking for trouble, so let¡¯s forget it. Who calls the status disparity too great? Liu Yuan nodded, and then began to arrange the search work for tomorrow. It was nothing more than dividing people into several groups and searching for suspicious targets in several directions. It was not a very difficult task. Liu Yuan quickly completed the assignment.After assigning the task, Liu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. While drinking the delicious mutton soup, he asked casually: "What is the battle situation now?" Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded Luoxu City and launched a desperate struggle. The shouts of killing, The firing sound of fire cannons is so dense no matter day or night. On the battlefield, the winner and the loser will do anything as long as they can win, including encounters, ambushes, night raids, duels, etc. Bloody battles were going on every day. Liu Yuan and his party dressed up in disguise. Fortunately, the Tubo people were not regarded as enemies. When the Tang army came, they identified themselves as early as possible, and the vigilance was strengthened and strengthened every day, so they lived a comfortable life. However, Liu Yuan is concerned about the progress of the war every day. After all, it is a major matter related to the rise and fall of the country. Guan Yong said with some excitement and regret: "Last night, General Li Jing devised an empty camp plan and killed most of the more than 10,000 Tibetan soldiers who attacked at night. Only a small number escaped. I heard that the enemy's commander was talking about Qin Leng was also wounded by an arrow. It was a pity that his bodyguard was too loyal and tried his best to protect him. Otherwise, this would have been another great achievement. It would be a pity that Guan was not at the scene." "General Cheng and his colleagues. The two generals Niu Duan, with the help of the fire gun team, after a day and night of bloody battles, defeated the enemy's army of more than 30,000 with 8,000 men. They hunted for more than 30 miles and laid corpses everywhere, which greatly enhanced the military power of our Tang army. ." Zhao Fu said happily. Yuchi Baoqing frowned and said: "General Hou encountered the Tubo army and was injured in his right arm by a hidden arrow. He was also surrounded by the Tubo soldiers. Fortunately, Tuyuhun General Nuolin was injured and rushed to the rescue. He killed the enemy soldiers and was safe and sound." Everyone was chattering. Talking about the news that he naturally inquired about, in general, the Tang army had more wins than losses, and the situation was very good. Full preparations, sufficient food and grass, plus investment in new weapons. One round of firecrackers knocked out the vigor of the Tibetan soldiers. This made the Tubo generals very depressed because they could not find a suitable way to crack it and showed a one-sided trend on the battlefield. "If it were not for the second great purge and civil strife, Tubo would not be in such a mess, nor would it be defeated so quickly. Its strength would not be as good as that of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, survivors such as Su Pi and Gong Bu continued to cause destruction in the rear under Liu Yuan's instigation, resulting in frequent fires in the backyard. Under the ebb and flow of one after another, they lost power step by step. The Tuyuhun coalition forces were also promised by Li Er. Attacking without fear of death, and finally retreating in the plateau area where they are best, maybe this is the law of prosperity must decline. ?Perhaps, it¡¯s also called that if you don¡¯t seek death, you won¡¯t die. "It seems that Tubo won't last long." Liu Yuan suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, we must step up our actions. Otherwise, we will not be able to catch up with this feast." Guan Yong and others suddenly stood up and said loudly : "Yes, General" With an obvious target, in less than three days, the Yangwei Army secretly found two suspicious targets. On a hillside, Liu Yuan was crawling on the grass, looking with his clairvoyant eyes, while Hou Jun explained: "General. This family of herdsmen is the most suspicious. There are eight strong men in a family of twelve. In exchange for Ordinary people have long been transferred to the army, and they have dozens of fine horses, each of which is kept smooth and shiny. My subordinates sneaked in to see them in the middle of the night. They were fed with fine materials and sent people. Pretending to be a horse dealer, he didn't expect them to be chased away as soon as he opened his mouth. It was very suspicious." Liu Yuan nodded while listening. In the telescope, Liu Yuan saw the tents, farm tools and other items, as well as ordinary herdsmen. There is no difference, but when those people stand, they stand very straight, and when they walk, their lower body is very stable. Their eyes and behavior tell you that they are not ordinary people. Even if it is not an exit, it is a secret set up by a dignitary here. stronghold. The environment can change and the identity can change, but some behavioral habits cannot be changed easily. Liu Yuan put down his clairvoyance, patted Hou Jun on the shoulder and said: "From now on, I will have someone here to guard you twelve hours a day. If there is any trouble, please notify me immediately." "Yes, general." May 27th is a day worth remembering. After rushing to cross the Tibetan River, Datang and Tibet fought a bloody battle outside Luoxe City for more than a month. Both sides made great sacrifices. The price, the endless battle, and for a long time, the plateau was surrounded by the smell of blood. This place known as a paradise has been replaced by desire and killing. Fortunately, the turning point finally appeared. It is Li Jing, the God of War. Li Jing set up an empty camp plan to lure Qin Leng into a night attack. After he fell into the trap, he surrounded him heavily and severely wounded more than 10,000 of his elite direct descendants. Not only that, Qin Leng was hit by an arrow in the chest. It could not save his life, but it also severely injured him, which greatly damaged the morale of Tubo. That is to say, he was injured. The morale of the Tubo soldiers plummeted, and the army was forced to fight without a general.He returned to Luoche City and defended it. When the other Tibetan soldiers saw that their general had returned to the city, they had no intention of fighting and returned to Luoche City one after another, whereupon they were surrounded by the Tang Army. This is the role of a coach, this is the effect of a famous general. If used well, it will be more powerful than a tiger, but on the contrary, it will greatly lose morale. Although Hou Junji, the chief general of the Tang Dynasty, was also injured, in addition to Hou Junji, the generals were still Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Cheng Lao Mowang, Niu Jinda, Duan Zhixuan and other famous generals, no matter which one, their qualifications and reputation are no worse than Hou Junji, and they quickly stabilized the morale of the army. What's more, the Tang army has always had the upper hand. The situation in Tubo is different. Not only has it been at a disadvantage, but also in the fire They retreated steadily under the attack. With the fall of famous generals such as Shang Xiang and Zan Po, Lun Qinling, the only remaining member of the army, was the spiritual pillar of the army. But when this spiritual pillar was also injured and fell down, one can imagine the morale. With troops approaching the city, victory is in sight.
