Chapter 3190 The Rise of Gar
The two have different thoughts, but the purpose is the same: to find out the location of "Wang Zhuang's Army" and make it difficult for them to use the "surprise army" strategy. As long as the Tang Army takes precautions, makes targeted arrangements, and confronts them head-on, the two of them can Everyone believed that "Wang Zhuangjun" had no chance of winning.
No matter how elite and brave the "Wang Zhuang Army" is, even if it is one against ten, if it is unable to complete certain strategic tasks and relies solely on bravery, it will eventually end in the total annihilation of the entire army. It is impossible to reverse the situation and turn the situation around. Defeat becomes victory.
Changsun Chong suppressed the excitement in his heart and warned: "Your Majesty, you should continue to investigate, and you must fully understand the true and false status of 'Wang Zhuangjun'. Since your Majesty has handed over 'Wang Zhuangjun' to the control of Yuan Nanjian, what is his intention?" It is already clear, Your Majesty, please do not If you are still feeling lucky, I will write to my father immediately to inform your Majesty. Your Majesty has always been generous and generous, and I hope that your son will continue to work hard and make great achievements together."
If Mr. Yuan had felt a little guilty before for secretly conspiring with Zhang Sun Chong to betray the defense of Pingrang City, he really didn't feel it at all now.
Since his father wants to depose him and make his second brother the heir apparent, without caring about his own life or death, why should he care about the so-called loyalty and filial piety?
If you want me to die, I can't just kill you at your neck, right?
He immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, Dalang. That bastard Yuan Nanjian is brave and foolhardy. We will be able to find out the true and false nature of 'Wang Zhuangjun' from him."
Changsun Chong: "..."
They're all pretty stupid.
……
Boy Yuan's solemn performance will definitely find out the true and false identity of "Wang Zhuangjun", and then leave.
Changsun Chong sat there and meditated for a long time. After drinking the tea, he stood up and went to the wall on one side to look at the simple defense map of Pingrang City and shook his head.
This map was drawn by talented people from the Goguryeo Dynasty organized by Yeon Gaesumun. However, compared with the Pyeongrangseong map that his father gave him, the clarity, accuracy, and proportions are not even the slightest bit worse.
Who would have thought that the map of Pingrang City drawn by the Tang army was better than that drawn by Goguryeo itself?
All military maps of the Tang Dynasty came from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, which was led by Fang Jun a few years ago. Today, they have long become the unified standard for domestic maps of the Tang Dynasty.
From this point of view, Fang Jun is indeed talented and has far-reaching vision.
But the more this happened, the more the jealousy in Changsun Chong's heart became as blazing as fire, and it was difficult to calm down...
Take a deep breath and focus your attention on the map in front of you.
Peony Peak is located outside the east city of Pingrang City. The water comes from the east, is blocked by the mountains, turns to the south, is blocked by the mountains to the south, turns to the west, and outlines a huge turning point here. Run all the way westward into the sea.
Pingrang City was built on this huge turning point. The city was originally built to the north of the Xishui River. Later, it gradually became prosperous and the population increased. A new city was built on the south bank of the Xishui River, sandwiching the Xishui River in the middle.
Today, due to the expansion of the city, Peony Peak is already located in the city. The undulating hills and mountains resemble a blooming peony, hence the name. There are many kinds of trees on the mountain, such as pine, five-leaf pine, linden, apricot, mountain cherry and other trees. Every spring, the mountains and hillsides are covered with flowers of various colors. It is so beautiful that it is the most beautiful place in Pingrang City. scenery.
When Pingrang City was first built, Yimi Platform was built on Mudan Peak to serve as a commanding platform.
The mountains are dotted with fortresses and mountain cities, which are where troops are garrisoned in normal times. It is natural for Yeon Gaesumun to hide the "Wang Zhuang Army" among them.
After carefully looking at the terrain near Mudan Peak, Changsun Chongcai returned to the desk and wrote a superstitious letter, which he gave to his close confidants and ordered him to rush to the Tang Army camp and hand it over to his father.
Although the matter of "peace negotiation" is already slim, and huge achievements have passed by, if the location of "Wang Zhuangjun" can be found out, so that the Tang army can be prepared and make targeted deployments, it will naturally be a great achievement. .
*****
Qinghai Lake.
It is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, but it enters late autumn earlier than Liaodong.
The vast lake is like a huge gem. The autumn wind blows by, water birds fly and the blue waves ripple.
The broad grassland by the lake stretches to the sky like a blanket. The grass leaves are withered and yellow, and the world is desolate.
Lu Dongzan was riding on a horse, holding the reins in one hand and holding the handle of the scimitar at his waist with the other. He looked at the warriors fighting in front of him with his sunken eyes. His sharp eyes were like an eagle, as if he wanted to fly across the northern sky. The majestic Qilian Mountains stand there.
Not long after the Battle of Dadou Valley ended, the news reached Lu Dongzan's ears.
Although he knew that the Tang Army was unparalleled in strength and the power of its firearms was unrivaled, he never expected that the Tang Army was so powerful.
The expected hard battle never happened. The 70,000 to 80,000 Tuyuhun cavalry that crossed Qinghai and ravaged Hexi were like the rushing Brahmaputra River hitting the rocks between the valleys. Apart from the frightening roar and shock, they could only splash a bunch of Bubbles, shattered to pieces.
Lu Dongzan understood that Tuyuhun was finished.
After twenty years of recuperation, all the strength was lost in just one day. The 20,000 Tang troops stood at the mouth of the valley where the battle was fought like an iron wall. Tuyuhun's troops were several times that of the enemy, but they could not even take a single step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This disparity in strength between the two sides made the Tuyuhun people feel more deeply than the tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle. despair.
Right now, Guanzhong is empty. Only half of the Youtun Guards in Hexi are garrisoned with 20,000 people. Tuyuhun is still unable to break through. If the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition is over and all the millions of troops return to Guanzhong, how can Tuyuhun still have any room to struggle?
There is only one way to defeat.
Now that the defeat of Tuyuhun has been determined, Tubo will never allow Qinghai Lake to fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, forming a favorable situation with its back to Qilian and facing the plateau, posing a huge threat to Tubo.
Therefore, Lu Dongzan decisively ordered that all the family troops came out to invade Qinghai Lake.
Now that Zanpu has decided to be wary of the Gar family, the Gar family can only follow the trend and occupy the Qinghai Lake area first, considering it the foundation of the family, and rest and accumulate strength here before making further calculations.
The soldiers of the Gar family rushed into Qinghai Lake like wolves and tigers, just as the Tyuhun cavalry, who had been defeated in Dadou Bagou, returned one after another from various passes in the Qilian Mountains. One side was ready to attack and was eyeing the enemy. The other side was defeated and had low morale. Naturally, it was defeated by the soldiers of the Gar family.
The Tuyuhun cavalry fought back under Nuohebo's organization, but they were helpless and lost again and again.
The rustling autumn wind blew Lu Dongzan's beard under his chin, making his eyes look deeper. In the distance, a scout on horseback galloped towards him. When he got close, he dismounted, knelt down on one knee and reported loudly: "Reporting to the master of the family, Tuyuhun has been defeated, and Nuohebo has been captured alive by us!"
Lu Dongzan didn't speak for a while.
The autumn wind is bleak, the sky is high and the clouds are pale, and the pale yellow grassland stretches straight to the sky.
Tuyuhun, which once roamed this land of abundant water and grass for three hundred years, will come to an end today.
The change of dynasties and the rise and fall of ethnic groups are as natural and unstoppable as the rotation of the four seasons.
Today may be the time for the Gar family to revitalize, but the time of decline and destruction will not be far away.
Several sons stood behind him. The eldest son Zan Xiruo took the reins of the horse and took a step forward. He ordered: "Temporarily take Nuohebo into custody, gather the soldiers, and launch a pursuit of the defeated Tuyuhun people. Qinghai Lake has a radius of 300 meters." No more Tuyuhun people are allowed in this place!”
"Here!"
After receiving the order, the scout stood up, mounted his horse, and galloped away into the distance.
Zan Xiruo looked at Lu Dongzan, who was still born, and said in high spirits: "Father! Tuyuhun has been defeated, and Qinghai Lake has become the private property of the Gar family from now on!"
Since ancient times, Qinghai Lake has been a battleground for tribes in the Western Regions. This place is rich in water and grass, has the best pastures in the world, and can raise countless livestock. It is the place that the Hu people dream of. Moreover, Qinghai Lake is full of salt water and is rich in lake salt. This is something that all Hu people cannot live without. Mastering Qinghai Lake not only solves the tribe's salt shortage problem, but also uses it as a strategic material that can be manipulated. Countless tribes are used by oneself to easily achieve the goal of dominating one party.
By owning Qinghai Lake, the Gar family has a foundation that can serve as a foundation to develop and grow.
Lu Dongzan came back to his senses and glanced at his eldest son. There was no trace of smile on his cold face. Instead, he snorted and frowned: "You are so proud! Have you forgotten what your father told you before? You are still thinking about danger in Ju'an." , not to mention that it is not a safe place at the moment, to be so excited, so stupid!"
