Chapter 511 Hunting Border Pass 1

"Hey, it's really strange to die on the same day. Maybe this is fate!"

Le Yanwei died, and Mangsong Mangzan also died on the same day, and these two news spread to the governor's office in Hexi almost at the same time. At first sight, it really made Li Xian sigh, and his mood became a mass of hemp because of the chaos - the death of Mangsong Mangzan is naturally a good thing for Li Xian. It only means that the time to conquer Tibet is almost ripe. More than five years of hard work will finally be known. As for the death of Le Yanwei, Li Xian actually does not have much sadness. The reason for irritability is generally caused by the current situation. No one will like the direct lineage that has been cultivated by himself. It's torn apart. Even if you have had the relevant ideological preparations for a long time, you can't stand it.

"Life has been rare since the past 70 years, and the age of Le Gong has been seventy-three, which is also the end of his life. Your Highness, please take care for your condolences."

Although Zhang Jianzhi was a wise man, he couldn't figure out where Li Xian was thinking. The expression on Li Xian's face was complicated and difficult to understand. He thought that Li Xian was end up with a sad and happy Yanwei's hatred, so he hurriedly said a word of comfort.

"Well, that being said, after all, the death of Coke is related to loneliness. I feel quite guilty in my heart, but who can't come back to life after death? That's all, in the future, I will not forget his help."

Although Li Xian was not very sad about Yanwei's death, he would not forget what he should show. He shook his head and made a promise in a heavy tone.

"Your Highness is wise, if you know it, you should be gratified!" Zhang Jianzhi was afraid that Li Xian was immersed in sadness and could not extricate himself. After praising a sentence, he immediately turned to the topic and said, "Le Gong is only cautious all his life. There are indeed merits in his dying words. Please take it at your discretion."

"Well, I know in my heart that Mangsong Mangzan is dead, and the 'Flying Swallow Plan' is also progressing quite smoothly. You can pick peaches as soon as next spring, but the name of the teacher is a little difficult. Do you have any good ideas for this?"

When it comes to the understanding of Wu Hou, Li Xian said that he was the second. No one in the world dared to say the first. How could he not know that the confrontation with Wu Hou was a long and difficult process? At this point, Li Xian had already made ideological preparations for hard work. As for what Le Yanwei thought, he could take the step of reform. Is it too fast? Li Xian is quite disapproving. Just because he knows very well that if the existing military and political system is not changed, he may still be able to escape the chaos of the vassal town in the future and plan for future generations. No matter how difficult it is, Li Xian will never flinch, but Li Xian is unwilling to announce this, so he answered vaguely, even if Turn the topic around.

"Well, this matter really has to be discussed in the long-term."

As soon as he heard Li Xian mention the conquest of Tubo, Zhang Jianzhi immediately frowned. He was not worried that Li Xian would be defeated, but that he was worried about not being able to pass the proposal to start a war in the court. Because today's court situation is already in the hands of the Empress Wu, it's too late for the mother-in-law to defend Li Xian. How can she sit and see? Li Xian saw the meritorious deeds in the battlefield. As for the prince, I'm afraid it is also the same mentality, and Li Xian's direct line is now basically squeezed out of the court. Although there are several ministers such as Xiao Qian and Lin Mingdu, they can't become a big climate. It is impossible to gain an advantage in the court. If there is no special opportunity, even if Li Xian thinks about it again. I'm afraid this battle can't be fought.

"This matter may have to be done by the father. Otherwise, the court may be difficult to pass!"

Li Xian can also do what Zhang Jianzhi can calculate. He is really not very confident in passing the Korean discussion. After repeated calculations for a long time, he shook his head slightly.

"The emperor has always been tough on the outside world. When it comes to the conquest of Tubo, your majesty has been like this for a long time, but the queen is sad. If you can make the Tubo people gather together to attack, you may not be able to do anything."

Zhang Jianzhi obviously agrees with Li Xian's point of view, but when it comes to the solution, he also doesn't have a good idea, that is, he put forward an unreliable suggestion by the way - since the first battle of Xianheng in the third year of the first year of Xianheng, the severely damaged gar Qinling's troops have shrank to the hinterland of Tugu and have taken full defense. The situation is that only a small number of troops have been deployed on the border between the two countries, that is, occasionally sending troops to harass the Tang Dynasty in the way of "grass valley". As for launching a large-scale war, after repeated losses, thegar Qinling really does not have the courage. It is obviously impossible for him to attack Tang on a large scale.

"Gather a crowd to attack? Well, that's feasible!"

As the saying goes, the person who speaks is unintentional. Listening to it, Zhang Jianzhi's casual words suddenly lit up in front of Li, and there was already a calculation in his heart. He raised his eyebrows, raised his tone and drank: "Ziming!"

"The end will be!"

Hearing Li Xian's call, Liu Ziming, who had been waiting outside the study, dared not neglect it. He hurriedly walked into the room and bowed down to answer.

"To pass on the order of the orphan, immediately call the black-toothed Changzhi and Li He Er to come to discuss the matter!"

Li Xian didn't talk much nonsense and ordered directly.

"No!"

Liu Ziming didn't know the meaning of Li Xian's order, but he didn't ask much. He answered neatly, turned around, and went to pass it on without mentioning it.

"Your Highness, you are..."

Zhang Jianzhi was also confused by Li Xian's order. After Liu Ziming left, he asked half of his words with some puzzlement.

"Ha ha, let's keep it a secret."

After having the idea of starting a war, Li Xian's mood was obviously better, but he did not immediately tell the strange things inside, but blinked his eyes and some of them were naughty.

"Huh? Hahaha..."

Zhang Jianzhi followed Li Xian for a long time and knew Li Xian's ability in military strategy. Seeing that Li Xian was already in his chest, the big stone hanging in his heart had fallen to the ground. Then he was amused by Li Xian's childish expression and couldn't help laughing...

To beat the grass valley, it is not the grass or the grain. It is to fight for life. It especially refers to the behavior of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty plundering each other's border people. The origin and origin of this term is beyond ours. There is a popular explanation that the Tubo people are born from the grass. They have different feelings for pasture, and plunder the border people of the Tang Dynasty. There are many benefits, so it is called weeding. As for the Tang Dynasty, the Han people are always inseparable from rice, but there is a looting. It seems that it is not inappropriate to call it a grain. Since the Tangtu had a bad relationship, there have been few such grassing and graining between the two sides. There are at least a dozen cases every year, and rumors have spread. At the bottom, the conventional word "Gras Valley" has been formed.

Although the word grass valley is tacky, it is really difficult to go to the elegant hall. However, when it comes to the blood and cruelty, it is a little better than a large-scale war - whether it is Tubo or the Tang Dynasty, every time they seize the opportunity to plunder the other party, there will never be the slightest kindness to kill and rob. It's just an ordinary thing. Over the past ten years, the ghosts floating around on the Qinghai Lake have been countless. Especially after such a huge thing as "Hexi Horse Farm" rose in the northwestern part of the river, the war in the Grass Valley became more and more fierce. In order to compete for the autumn pastures on the shore of Qinghai Lake, Tang and Tu both sides threw in the looting soldiers. The force has long developed from a small-scale conflict of less than 100 people at the beginning to the bloody killing of nearly a thousand people today. Although the two sides have their own wins and defeats, in general, the Tang army has fallen behind. It is not that the Tang army does not dare to fight, or that Cheng Hedong, the assassin of Shanzhou, is not good at fighting, but because the Shanzhou cavalry has only 1,500 troops. Although the soldiers are fine, the number is really less. In the face of the harassment of 15,000 soldiers and horses of Gar Zanpo and the nomadic tribes in Tuyuhun, which almost everyone can fight, it is inevitable that there is some embarrasssment. Fortunately, the Tubo people are afraid to completely anger Li Xian, the killing star, and consciously control the scale of the battle, so that the Tang army can encourage It is also an indisputable fact that they have suffered a lot of losses in the looting battle. However, such an autumn and winter pasture from Qinghai Lake to Chenzhou can't give up for the increasingly large Hexi Horse Farm. Therefore, although the Tang army has a lot of hard work, they can only struggle to support the side with Tubo. The confrontation of inequality.

"The Tubo dog thief is coming!"

"The number is three thousand, and the direction is straight south. Damn it, damn it!"

"Quick, ignite, ignite!"

......

On the ninth day of August, the sky is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. The grass is long and the eagle is flying, and the horse is strong and fat. It is the best season for the grass valley. As soon as the sun rises to the three poles, a sound of horseshoes shatters the tranquility of Qingfengzhai. The roar of the soldiers guarding the village has become a piece of noise because of the sound - Qingfengzhai, located in the source of the Huangshui River. A small hill bag at the head is one of the outposts at the front of the border of the Tang Dynasty. Although there is a village character in the name, the scale is far from the level of the military village. Strictly speaking, it is just a beacon. Naturally, the role it can play is not to guard the key pass, but just to monitor the enemy situation. There are not many troops in the stockade. There are only ten people. Generally speaking, they are the old and weak soldiers who have retired from the combat troops because of their long age. Although their combat effectiveness is no longer enough, their vision is accurate. The Tubo soldiers and horses just turned out of a mountain beam in the distance, and the soldiers guarding the fortress have quickly judged the Tubo army according to the size of the dust raised. On a scale, he quickly ignited one of the several beacons used for summoning, spreading the news of the enemy's attack.

"Wo-ho..."

The Tubo cavalry came quickly. On one side of the big black flag, a bearded general rushed to the foot of the hill where Qingfengzhai was located, but he ignored the few poor defenders on the top of the mountain. He went straight around the mountain bag and rushed along the avenue by the Huangshui River to the hinterland of Shanzhou Ranch, leaving only A burst of smoke and dust and the arrogant sound of the Tubo cavalry rippled under the sky.

"Damn it, damn Tubo dog, come to the grass valley again!"

"It's a long time. This move is 3,000 cavalry. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the brothers in the back!"

"Dog, rampant bird, settle the final account with these grandchildren sooner or later!"

......

As soon as they saw that the Tubo army abandoned their side, they killed into the pasture. A group of defenders of Qingfengzhai were angered by the contemptu attitude of the Tubo army. They scolded at the back of the Tubo army with righteous indignation. They just scolded, but their eyes looking at the direction of the ranch were full of worry and worry, just because The scale of the Tubo army seems to be much larger than in previous years. No one knows whether the Tang cavalry responsible for covering can withstand it...
