Chapter 1138 is really Lu Dongzan (thanks to "Pang Huang" for becoming the new leader of this book)

  Li Hong is very curious about everything in the military.

   "Uncle, what is this?"

   "Uncle, what is this?"

  After leaving Chang'an City, this kid kept asking.

   Jia Pingan has the mentality of educating children, but he is also very patient.

  After leaving Chang'an for half a month, the excitement disappeared.

  Every day is a march, and when I get to the place, my eyes are so tired that I feel sleepy when I fall down.

   "Your Highness, it's time to take a bath."

   Zeng Xianglin was dressed in the clothes of a petty official, serving the prince personally.

  Li Hong fell down, "Stay away from Gu!"

  The feeling of marching in summer is not good, and Zeng Xianglin has to serve the prince, and his body stinks.

   Zeng Xianglin just wanted to persuade him again, but Li Hong started snoring.

   The snoring is not loud, but for the prince who has been pampered since childhood, it can be called an earth-shaking change.

   Zeng Xianglin's complexion changed.

  He went out to find Jia Pingan.

   "Mr. Guo is going to welcome Director Gao."

  Gao Kan came with more than three hundred riders.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

   Jia Ping'an brought his generals out to meet him, giving the veteran a lot of face.

   "Meet the deputy chief!"

   Gao Kan laughed and cupped his hands.

   "I haven't seen you for a few years, Mr. Gao is fine, and he is still in good spirits, very good!"

   Jia Pingan cupped his hands, "Your Highness is tired, see you later."

  Gao Kan nodded, "I was also shocked when I heard the news that His Highness was with the army. How can a young man who has been pampered and raised in the palace withstand such hardships? I didn't expect to come to Longyou, not bad."

  The two turned around and walked in side by side.

   When it was dark, Li Hong woke up.

   "Your Highness, Gao Duhu has arrived."

  Zeng Xianglin helped him get up, and seeing his legs stiff when he got out of bed, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

   "Take a bath, and then go to see him."

  Gao Kan is a veteran, and Li Hong has to save face.

  In the evening, I made a hot pot in the residence, which was specially made by Jia Pingan.

   "Don't look at the hot weather. The longer it is like this, the more you have to be careful about getting sick. Have a hot pot and sweat all over, and all diseases will be gone."

   In fact, he was greedy, so he took everyone to eat hot pot.

   Everyone who ate a hot pot was sweating profusely.

  The night wind blows, and the heat is gone.

   "Refreshing!"

  People are walking in the yard.

  Then the prince had a conversation with Gao Kan.

  Jia Ping'an didn't ask, nor did he inquire.

  …

   Half a month later, another veteran Liu Renyuan came.

   "I have seen His Highness, I have seen Duke Zhao."

  Liu Renyuan looked solemn and his eyes were like lightning.

  This is a fierce man. He entered the Hongwen Library to study by relying on the shade of the door. It is reasonable to be a civil servant when he comes out like this?

without!

   This person entered the late emperor's personal guard.

   Once the late emperor traveled, Liu Ren was willing to accompany him as an escort. A group of people met a wild beast on the road, and this fierce man fought with the wild beast with his bare hands, even the late emperor was stunned.

  The generals under his command gathered together, and Jia Pingan convened the first meeting.

  The eldest nephew sits on the table as the mascot, and Jia Pingan presides over the discussion.

  Gao Kan on the left, Liu Renyuan on the right, Wang Fangyi, Cheng Wuting, Pei Xingjian and other famous fighters in the Tang Dynasty below, and a bear-like little brother Li Jingye on the side who is unwilling to make a long history.

   Jia Ping'an said: "Before we set off from Chang'an, I ordered Kuaima to go to Anxi to deliver an order that the local people should inquire about news about Congling.

  The army marched immediately.

  Li Hong rides a horse for half a day and rides a car for half a day every day.

   "After crossing the sandbar, Prince, I hope you can ride a horse for most of the day."

  Jia Ping'an has been struggling with the eagle step by step all the way, Li Hong has been in pain from the beginning, but now he is gradually adapting, and the whole person has undergone earth-shaking changes from the inside to the outside.

"good!"

  So the soldiers saw a prince who marched with everyone all day, and their morale was greatly boosted.

   "Do you know why the late emperor succeeded and Yang Guang failed?"

   This road has also become Jia Pingan's classroom, and he will tell the prince what he thinks of.

  Li Hong thought for a while, "If you get the right way, you will get more help, but if you are not right, you will get little help."

"This is basic, but you haven't seen one thing." Jia Pingan pointed to the soldiers in front of him and said: "The first emperor never put on any pretense when he led the army. , such an emperor, the soldiers are willing to die. But Yang Guang's campaign is high above..."

  Li Hong said: "Emperor Yang stayed away from the army he relied on, so he lost the support of the army. This is another class confrontation."

  My great nephew!

   Jia Ping'an wanted to laugh out loud.

   Later, Gao Kan intentionally slowed down the horse, and when Jia Pingan was parallel with him, he whispered: "You taught the prince this, what does your majesty mean?"

   "His Majesty supports it."

"That's good."

Gao Kan said with relief: "What the soldiers are most afraid of is Emperor Yangdi, who obviously had a better strategy, but he delayed the attack of the army for the sake of face, so that countless soldiers died unjustly. After the first failure, he It's time to recuperate, but he quickly attacked Goryeo for the second time, this is treating the soldiers as livestock, how can any soldier be loyal to him?"

   This is the consensus of the military.

"So later someone climbed up and shouted, and Emperor Yang was shocked to find that he was alone and helpless." Jia Pingan felt that this was done. This person doesn't care about the soldiers and civilians of the Great Sui Dynasty at all, he has no soldiers and civilians in his heart, and defeat is a matter of time."

  This is the theory of the emperor, Gao Kan dare not talk about it anymore, "Xiao Jia, be more taboo."

"nothing."

  Jia Pingan still runs his own small classroom.

  Sometimes the army camped in a remote place, and the food was simple. Jia Pingan ordered Zeng Xianglin to get food in a big pot.

   "Prince, eat."

  Zeng Xianglin was puzzled, "There is a small stove."

   "Look at those soldiers."

   Jia Pingan pointed to those soldiers who were squatting on the ground and munching. Li Hong picked up the bowl and ate it.

   "No salt."

  Jia Pingan picked up the bowl, "Eat it, the military is like urine, when it's salty it makes you want to kill the cook, and when it's light it makes you want to rub some dirt and use it as salt."

   Salt in the grime, but...

   Li Hong retched a bit.

  He took another bite, and felt that the taste was not bad, and it was rough, and the bird faded out.

   "Uncle, I remember you brought salt."

   Jia Pingan ignored him, squatted there and started.

   This is a combination of barley rice and fried noodles. It is rough, but the fried noodles are very fragrant. With vegetables, the taste is okay.

  Li Hong was embarrassed, and saw that his food was delicious, so he took a bite too, thinking that his uncle might have started a small stove by himself.

   But the person who was cooking before was his man, it shouldn't be!

   "Why can uncle eat such delicious food?"

  He still couldn't help asking.

Jia Pingan raised his head, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "When I was in Huazhou, the daily meals were worse than this. Even so, I still couldn't eat enough. Later, when the conditions were poor and the military situation was urgent, we could only have Eat whatever you want, many times you can’t light a fire, you can only eat cold barley rice, or cold fried noodles, you have to learn how to eat fried noodles with a sip of water, otherwise it will be too dry, and you will spit it out in one bite..."

  Li Hong thought for a while, "It's really hard!"

   "Let you eat with the soldiers, one is to let the soldiers know that you can share weal and woe with them; the other is to let you know the hardships of the soldiers, don't learn from Emperor Yangdi, and don't know how to sympathize with the soldiers."

   "I see."

   Li Hong ate with big mouthfuls.

   "Your Highness is delicious."

   Someone saw it.

   "The cook should be killed today. Could it be that His Highness is Xiao Zao?"

   "No, I ordered the meals myself and saw His Highness eat it with my own eyes, and I didn't add anything."

  The news continued to spread, and when Li Hong took the lead to patrol the camp after dinner, he found that the soldiers looked at him differently.

   "It's identification."

  Li Hong was delighted.

  In his tent at night, Li Hong began to write letters to Chang'an.

  He mentioned the hardships along the way, and also mentioned the recognition of eating a pot with the soldiers...

  —It turns out that loyalty never comes from identity, but recognition.

   This is his greatest achievement.

  The cold numbers that used to be turned into real people at this moment.

  …

  The army met the messenger on the sandbar.

   "I haven't noticed any changes in Tubo, but they have a lot more secret spies."

"knew."

  The army continued to march.

   When we arrived in Kucha, news came again.

   "Still not found."

  The generals will be a little uneasy.

  During the discussion, Wang Fangyi said: "If you fail, this trip will be troublesome."

  50,000 troops, plus 60,000 servants, and they set off from the Central Plains to Anxi, which can be called an expedition of hard work.

  Li Jingye had a fierce look in his eyes, "I'm afraid of a bird, and when the time comes, I'll kill Bolu directly, let's go up!"

   These words are very proactive!

  But everyone knows that this is unreliable.

  The basis for attacking Bolu is that Anxi is completely stable.

   But Anxi is still under construction, and the population is constantly migrating from the Central Plains. Everything is thriving, but it is not interesting.

   "I don't worry about this, I only worry about underestimating the enemy!"

   This is Jia Pingan's statement.

   "Tibetan will definitely come."

  If you don't come, the assassination of Wang Yuanyuan by the Tubo secret agents in Chang'an will be a warning.

  If you don't come, the Tubo envoys don't need to be so aggressive in Chang'an last time.

  Being courteous, people must ask for something!

  What does Tubo seek?

   Please Anzai!

  The army rested in Kucha for ten days, and then set off again.

  The mighty convoy followed behind the army, constantly going back and forth.

   This is the cost of national war, and it is also a manifestation of the national strength of a big country.

  In this era, those who have such abilities are Datang, Tubo, and Dashi.

  Just after leaving Kucha, several riders galloped here.

   "Mr. Zhao, the Tubo army suddenly approached Bolu. Bolu opened the passage and provided supplies. The Tubo army is now coming in mighty strength."

say!

   Jia Pingan glanced at the direction of Congling, "Who will lead the army?"

   "Lu Dong Zan!"

  Everyone couldn't help shaking.

   This is the shadow of the famous tree of people.

  Lu Dongzan can be regarded as Tubo's Dinghai magic needle, and his appearance made the hearts of all the generals tremble.

  Li Hong cheered up, "So, Shule is in danger."

  He has recently supplemented a lot of relevant information, knowing that the Tubo army can reach Shule first.

   "Lu Dongzan's shot is really extraordinary."

Jia Pingan was full of praise, "He must have sent an envoy to Bolu in advance. Tubo is so powerful that Bolu dare not resist, so he can only open the channel...The Tubo army suddenly appeared, even if our people got the news, it was too late. "

   Sure enough, it was Lu Dongzan!

  The army then accelerated.

  …

   "The Tubo army is coming!"

  Wang Chunyang, governor of Shule, had a livid face, "As soon as Lu Dongzan made a move, it was like a thunderbolt. We will not give our army a chance to send troops to condemn the general. Even if there is reinforcements from Kucha, we will not be able to catch up. We can only rely on ourselves."

   Kucha is the seat of the Anxi Protectorate, and the main force of the Anxi Protectorate is also there, and can be dispatched to various places at any time.

  School Captain Han Zong said: "Commander, Lu Dongzan's attack is menacing, we have to give up everything outside the city, and we have to be quick."

  Wang Chunyang nodded, "Damn, I'm afraid the lady Yeye likes won't be able to get her hands on her."

  There are many merchants in the land of Anxi, and there are often caravans passing by. Recently, Lao Wang had a heated fight with a Persian woman, and it seemed that he could get started, but...

   "Let everyone enter the city, strengthen the walls and clear the fields."

  Wang Chunyang said in a deep voice: "We will throw feces in the well, and the army will **** to the river..."

   This series of means is dirty, but everyone takes it for granted.

  Of course, excrement and urine cannot stop the Tibetans from fetching water, they just need to clean it up a few times.

   But such an environment can damage the morale of the enemy.

  As the order was issued, the people outside the city all brought their wealth into the city.

   Groups of people entered the city, the locals were panicked, and the immigrants were calm.

   "Afraid of a bird, turn around and kill the enemy to make meritorious service. Maybe Yeye can enter Zhechong Mansion!"

   "That is, who is here? Lu Dongzan? Who is Lu Dongzan?"

   Several riders came at a gallop.

   "The vanguard of the Tubo army is a hundred miles away, 20,000 people!"

   "Are there only 20,000 pioneers?"

  A group of chattering sticks looked stern no matter how stupid they were.

   "The army is close to 300,000!"

   "Go to town!"

  There are only thousands of defenders in the city. Facing an army of 300,000, they will be swallowed without even taking a chance.

   "This is Tubo, not Turkic."

  On the top of the city, Wang Chunyang scolded: "Those caravans have all run away. They said that going to Qiuci to sell them will make more money. Isn't it because you are afraid that the city will be robbed by Tubo?"

   "Captain, are you not afraid?"

  Wang Chunyang scolded: "Yeah, I'm afraid of a bird, His Royal Highness is on the way to lead the army."

   "It can be said to be in Kucha."

   "Damn you, stop talking!"

  Wang Chunyang began to patrol the city cursing, but when he occasionally looked out of the city, his eyes were full of worry.

  The army must be late, now it depends on the length of the distance, if it can arrive in time, then everything is easy to say. If you are late...

  Yeah, I'm afraid I'm going to die for my country!

  Wang Chunyang never thought that he could stop the attack of 300,000 troops, such a hero could only do it in his dreams.

  He was standing at the top of the city, looking into the distance.

  …

   Rangers appeared outside the city on the second day.

   Teams of Tubo cavalry rushed out of the range of the crossbow arrows and looked at the city with contempt.

   "Alert!"

  Wang Chunyang shouted loudly.

  He didn't look at these rangers, but cast his eyes into the distance.

   "Yeah waiting for you!"

  Wang Chunyang gripped the handle of the knife tightly.

  The smoke and dust gradually increased, both left and right.

   "This is a deterrent, hold on!"

  Wang Chunyang said calmly.

  Hundreds of riders swept over from the left and right sides.

   "Clean up when you get close to it, don't take care of it if you are out of arrow range."

   Woo...

  Amidst the long sound of the horn, countless pawns appeared.

   "It is the vanguard of the enemy army."

  The footsteps of 20,000 infantry were shocking, and the rows of spears pierced the sky vertically.

   Guns are like forest, people are like rain!

   "No need to panic!"

  Wang Chunyang said: "The enemy will not immediately attack the city when it is far away."

  The infantry gradually approached, and a general shouted loudly in front.

   The pawns stopped and shouted.

  The interpreter shouted immediately.

  Wang Chunyang was furious, "Damn it, why didn't you tell Yeye before you answered? But if you say something wrong, Yeye will peel your skin."

  The translator said triumphantly: "They asked whether to surrender, and I said surrender to your mother!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

  There was a burst of wild laughter at the head of the city.

The enemy general squinted his eyes at the top of the city, "The defenders are calm, it is the veteran guarding the guards. Send an order to camp five miles away, and send out cavalry to keep an eye on the top of the city. Another person will be sent to inform the Prime Minister that our troops have arrived in Shule Shule City. There are thousands of defenders in Shule City, but they can all be defeated with one blow!"

  …

  The army is marching.

  Lu Dongzan never felt that Tubo was so powerful.

  Bo Lu obediently opened the passage and provided food and grass, appearing extremely obedient.

   This is a strong sign.

   "President."

  More than ten riders came galloping.

   "A pioneer."

  Lu Dongzan nodded, and the cavalry were brought over.

   "Prime Minister, our troops have arrived in Shule City, with thousands of defenders."

   "Datang didn't notice it, good!"

  Lu Dongzan said: "When the news reached Chang'an, Li Zhi made a decision, assembled an army, and the army attacked... Our army has already swept Anxi, and this battle will surely be won!"

  These words were quickly conveyed to the entire army, and cheers erupted immediately.

   Morale is like a rainbow!

   "Quicker!"

  The army marched forward mightily.

  Five days later, the vanguard's scouts encountered the army.

   "This is the place Tubo dreamed of."

  Looking at the land, Lu Dongzan couldn't hide his joy.

  …

   "The enemy army is only 20,000, and they are not sure about attacking the city, but they have never surrounded Shule City. This means that our army will withdraw at will."

  An official was eloquently analyzing.

  Wang Chunyang scolded: "Retreat! Once we evacuate, the enemy cavalry will follow behind our army and eat away all the way until our army collapses."

   "The people in the city can't give up!"

   A general said.

   "So, wait."

  Wang Chunyang had already calculated, "The old man has calculated that if everything goes well for the prince's army on the way from Kucha to Shule, you can arrive ten days later."

  He said triumphantly: "The main force of the enemy army is still behind. If 20,000 people attack the city, would Yeye be afraid? If he were not afraid of the follow-up army, Yeye would dare to go out of the city and kill them right now."

   When the enemy's situation is unknown, going out to fight in the city is to die.

   "Let the brothers feel at ease, it only takes ten days...just..."

  A muffled thunder sounded from the sky.

  Wang Chunyang slowly raised his head.

  A black line with no visible edge appeared in the sky.

  The black line is moving steadily, heading towards Shule City.

  The muffled thunder became more and more clear.

   getting heavier and heavier.

   "It is the main force of the enemy army!"

  Five days...

  Wang Chunyang's hand holding the handle of the knife showed all the veins.

   "Surrender or not!"

  Under the city, the enemy army is shouting loudly.

  The army is coming.

  The footsteps shook, and the people in the city looked up in astonishment.

  Amidst the loud shouts, the army stopped.

   You can't see the end at a glance.

   "I can't count."

   A sergeant groaned.

  The boundless army seems to be able to submerge Shule City with just one spit.

   "My God!"

   Someone exclaimed.

   There was despair in his voice.

   "Will the enemy army rest?" Someone put their hopes on this.

  Lu Dongzan glanced at the top of the city, "Siege the city!"

  Pioneer has built siege equipment long ago, and now the army is attacking the city without rest, but it is beyond everyone's expectations.

  Lu Dongzan looked at the east with deep eyes.

   "We must take down Shule City by means of thunder and deter Anxi!"

   "Siege!"

  The general is shouting!

  Countless infantry picked up the ladder and began to trot.

  From a high altitude, the Tubo people who attacked the city looked like a big carpet, and Shule City looked like a stone under the carpet...

  …

  Thanks to "Pang Huang"

   Ask for a monthly pass, good night!
