Datang: My identity as prince was exposed by Li Er

The Longyou battlefield is still in full swing.

In the battle of Shibao City, both sides had about 400,000 soldiers.

Li Shimin personally led the army, and there were military reforms in the rear, military expenditures increased, and Datang equipped the Tang Dynasty with advanced weapons such as red cannons and muskets.

The Tang Dynasty had all the secrets, and after several bloody battles, Tubo was already in ruins.

Songtsen Gampo had to admit that in his first confrontation with His Majesty Tian Khan, he suffered heavy losses and began to organize his troops in an organized manner to prepare for a retreat.

Of course, Li Shimin's strategic goal was not just to defeat Songtsen Gampo.

What he wanted was Luosuo (today's Lhasa City).

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Li Shimin to just let Songtsen Gampo withdraw his troops. The Tang army used"Luosuo as the name for their troops, and perhaps had the intention of going straight to Huanglong after victory." A large number of troops were stationed outside Shibao City and organized a pursuit.

This time, Li Shimin planned to capture the four towns of Qiuci, Shule, Khotan, and Yanqi (now Kuqa, Kashgar, Hotan, and Yanqi in Xinjiang) first.

At that time, Datang had lost control of the Heyuan area.

At this time, there were still a steady stream of Tibetan soldiers being pushed to the battlefield in the Heyuan area. According to Li Shimin's estimation, there were at least 200,000 Tibetan soldiers in the Heyuan area. In other words, once Songtsen Gampo and the Heyuan soldiers reunited, then At that time, the Tibetan army will be twice as strong as the Tang army.

This day.

Li Shimin appointed Xue Rengui as the general manager of Luosudao March, left guard Cheng Yaojin, and right guard Wei Chigong as marshals of troops and horses, and the troops of the Tang Dynasty advanced to the west.

The army was mobilized, and the Tang army used 200,000 troops to overturn control of the Heyuan area and regain the four towns of Anxi.

At this time, Songtsen Gampo granted Lun Qinling the title of Grand Marshal of the Tubo Army. He had 200,000 troops waiting to work in the Heyuan area. Waiting for Songtsen Gampo's 200,000 troops to join together.

Regarding Qinling, he was the son of the famous Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan. This man was very good at attacking and killing. Because Lu Dongzan was killed by Li Yi, Qinling already hated the Tang Dynasty.

What needs to be pointed out here is that the Tibetan standing army was approximately 460,000, and it was impossible for Songtsen Gampo to drag all the Tibetan soldiers to the battlefield at Heyuan.

Therefore, among the 400,000 troops, there must be troops from Xue Yantuo, Turks and other tribes. en route.

Xue Rengui found Li Shimin and analyzed the current war situation with Li Shimin

"Your Majesty, Qinling has sent 200,000 troops to Dafeichuan to wait for Songtsen Gampo's 200,000 troops to join together. We have very few troops and are fighting in the snowy mountains. We are at a natural disadvantage."

"When fighting in the snowy mountains, supplies are the first priority. The baggage is very important at this time. Based on the ratio of 10,000 soldiers and 2,000 baggage troops, if there is a large-scale invasion of Dafeichuan, one of the questions is whether the baggage can keep up."

"If you want to capture Dafeichuan, you must send cavalry to invade. This army cannot be too large. Therefore, the last general invited 50,000 light cavalry to sneak attack Dafeichuan!"

Historically, the military strength comparison between Xue Rengui and Lun Qinling was also 400,000 to 50,000.

But at that time, Xue Rengui had already defeated the Liaodong region, which also made Xue Rengui famous as a famous general.

At this time, although Xue Rengui did not send troops Liaodong, but his judgment is still excellent.

It’s just that in this battle in history, Xue Rengui’s strategic intention was right. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the baggage. The deputy general of the baggage at that time was Guo Daifeng, who was Changsun Wuji. The same lineage.

Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang were also responsible for the logistics of this battle.

Xue Rengui was defeated at the hands of his own people.

Seeing that history was about to repeat the same mistakes, no one knew what happened next.

Li Shimin and others listened to Xue Rengui's analysis, He nodded frequently:"Okay! I order you to take 50,000 light cavalry and go straight to Dafeichuan. I want to capture this place!"

"Ordered Guo Daifeng to lead 10,000 baggage trains and follow closely behind him. Once Xue Rengui captured Dafeichuan, the baggage trains must keep up with him."

"promise!"

"promise! promise! promise!"

In the big tent, everyone was ready.

In this way, the army continued to advance towards Dafeichuan.

Fortunately, there was still time.

Songtsan Gampo's Tibetan soldiers were exhausted in front, and the Tang army pursued them as if they were desperate for their lives. , the Tibetan soldiers who surrounded them showed no mercy at all. They either killed them with muskets or directly bombed them with cannons.

……

Here in Chang'an.

Li Yi's wedding urging poem has been completed.

However, the wedding process is not over yet.

After entering Li's house, some people began to make things difficult for Li Yi and continued to make noises, asking Li Yi to write poems.

In the boudoir.

Li Wan took off his military uniform and changed into green clothes. He seemed a little embarrassed and nervous.

Not long after, according to the established procedure, Li Yi finished reciting the wedding poem, and then his grandmother took Li Wan out.

At this time, Li Yi and Li Wan still couldn't see each other. Under the envious eyes of hundreds of people, Li Wan entered the Li family's sedan chair.

Then Li Yi started to go to Wei Zheng's mansion again. All the procedures were still the same, and Li Yi had to go through it again with a headache.

Fortunately, by the time all procedures were completed, the sun had not yet set.

When everything was ready, the procession of the bride and husband began to march toward the East Palace.

Zhuque Street was already crowded with people, everyone was watching and envious.

There are already many people in the East Palace. Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng, Changsun Wuji, Ma Zhou, Chu Suiliang and other high-ranking officials are already waiting here with joy.

Queen Changsun, led by Xiangcheng, Changle, Tan'er and other princesses and princes, were also nervously waiting for the arrival of the bride in the East Palace Hall.

"Come on, come on! Queen Mother, the team is coming! Changle clenched his fists excitedly and hurried in from outside.

Empress Changsun smiled and said,"You look anxious, are you being honest?" Be steady! Changle stuck out his tongue, but still noticed that Queen Changsun seemed to be shaking nervously.

Of course, this was not nervousness, but excitement.

Gongs, drums, firecrackers, and even the firecrackers and fireworks invented by Li Yi were all ready.

Shangguan Yi and other disciples led Li Yi into the palace.

Li Yicai took the first step, and loud applause, firecrackers and firecrackers began to sound. It was getting late. The colorful fireworks in the sky exploded, making the East Palace The beauty above is overwhelming.

People die every day on the Longyou battlefield, but here it is as peaceful as the prosperous times. This is not ironic, but no one knows that Longyou has entered a critical situation.

After Li Yi took Li Wan and Wei Shuyi into the East Palace At that time, a soldier who looked like a school captain also hurriedly walked to Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang from the side door and whispered.

Li Yi keenly noticed the situation.

At this moment, Li Yi waved his hand.

The team suddenly stopped.

Is this not the case? Lucky.

Shangguan Yi and others looked at Li Yi suspiciously, and immediately came over to ask Li Yi about his situation.

Li Yi pointed at the captain who was about to go out and said:"Say! Did something happen over there in Longyou?"
