In the Seven Stars Canyon, the moon spreads its white light across the land, and the continuous barracks are shrouded in it, looking gray and white.
In the handsome tent, Hou Junji stood in front of the map and carefully figured out something, muttering to himself from time to time.
In the end, he shook his head and rejected them one by one. It was obvious that Hou Junji was planning something, but unfortunately the effect was not very good.
Turning his head, he could see a heavy look of worry lingering between his brows, and he was obviously a little uneasy.
Hou Junji's eyes like an eagle swept over the generals, and he sighed helplessly.
It is better to seek help from others than to seek help from yourself. If you want to rely on these people, you obviously cannot count on them.
It’s really sad!
In just a few days, Hou Junji's temples were already turning gray.
The army has been blocked by the Tibetan army near the Seven Stars Canyon for several days.
I originally thought that this group of Tubo barbarians could be wiped out in a snap, but unfortunately it backfired.
Not only could the army not move forward, but after several battles, the Tang army fell into a disadvantage.
Even the three thousand cavalry led by Zhi Huan Si Li suffered mostly casualties, forcing Hou Junji to re-formulate his battle plan.
More importantly, the reason why they did not send troops to support Gansongling last time was because they believed that the Tibetan army was vulnerable.
As long as the main force of the Tang army arrives, it will definitely wipe out the Tibetan army. Obviously, he misjudged the situation.
Judging from the intelligence of the scouts, the army that blocked them in the Seven Stars Canyon was just a miscellaneous army from Tibet.
The main force of 80,000 Tibetans was obviously attacking Songzhou, which made Hou Junji extremely anxious.
If the fighting power of the miscellaneous army is so strong, then wouldn’t the main force of Tibet be...
After shaking his head, Hou Junji didn't dare to think about it anymore. The current situation seemed a bit tricky.
Once Songzhou City is breached, the Tibetan army will surely march straight into Yizhou.
At that time, the Chinese army will be attacked from both sides by the Tibetan army.
Once the war situation develops to that point, not to mention that the Tibetan army can be wiped out in one battle, and the Tang army can not be defeated, it will be considered a blessing.
I think he, Mr. Hou, has experienced hundreds of battles, but he has never been so embarrassed.
If he could not win a big victory against Tibet this time, wouldn't it be a stain on his life? What should he do?
Thinking of this, Hou Junji glared at Changsun Chong fiercely.
Humph, it’s all this pretty boy’s fault, my whole life is wise!
If this guy hadn't proposed not to reinforce Songzhou, he would have divided his troops to support him.
It is too late to divide the troops for support now, unless the soldiers can grow wings and fly over.
Hou Junji stood in front of the commander's position with his hands behind his hands, and asked anxiously: "Now that the two armies are locked in a territorial dispute, Songzhou is in danger. Do you generals have any good strategies to break the situation? Should I divide my troops to support Songzhou."
The generals could only remain speechless.
In their opinion, they should have divided their troops for support long ago.
Once Songzhou City was breached, the Tang army lost its natural barrier against Tibet.
But they didn't go to support them a long time ago. Now that the army is blocked by the Tibetan army, can they still grow wings and fly over?
Of course, we can also take a detour to support Songzhou, but this will definitely take a long time. By the time the reinforcements arrive, the day lilies may be cold.
Of course, such words cannot be said in front of Hou Junji.
After all, they also knew that Hou Junji actually had the intention of refusing to divide his troops to support Songzhou.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the handsome tent was a bit strange.
As Li Chengqian's representative, Changsun Chong didn't have so many scruples.
In his opinion, Yang Fan is dead.
Moreover, it is of no use whether to support Songzhou now. In his opinion, it is not certain that Songzhou City has fallen.
So he stood up and raised his hands and said: "Commander, according to the latest intelligence, it is the main force of Tibet that is attacking Songzhou City. Now it is obviously too late to detour to rescue Songzhou. It is better to concentrate on repelling the blocking Tibetan army, and then use our mighty Tang Dynasty Wouldn’t it be better if our army retakes Songzhou City?”
Gu Mi
"Shuzi has harmed someone!" Hou Junji cursed secretly as he looked at Changsun Chong who was proud of the spring breeze.
If the official word really has two meanings, these literati are really good at talking.
The reason why they did not send troops to support them in the first place was because this pretty boy said that the main force of Tibet did not go to attack Songzhou.
Now the pretty boy said that the main force of Tibet was attacking Songzhou City, and even if it was rescued, it would be too late.
As expected of the old Yin man Changsun Wuji, he is indeed poisonous and damaging.
Is this guy just unable to deal with Yang Fan's stick?
Or maybe this guy had some dealings with Tubo and deliberately allowed the Tubo army to attack Songzhou City?
But Changsun Chong was the consort of the Tang Dynasty, his father was the head of the civil service, and his aunt was the queen of the dynasty...
It's impossible to make such a stupid move, right?
The more Hou Junji thought about it, the more something was wrong.
But soon I felt that this idea was a bit unrealistic and even a bit ridiculous.
At this moment, a marching secretary hurried into the account and reported: "Commander, forward general Yang Fan has sent an urgent battle report."
The atmosphere in the commander's tent suddenly condensed. The generals looked at each other, their faces darkened, and they secretly worried: Could it be that Songzhou City has been breached?
Everyone knew that Yang Fan had come to ask for help, but Hou Junji refused to divide his troops for support.
It's just that most of the generals in the account are Hou Junji's confidants, so naturally no one will question Hou Junji's decision.
But once Songzhou City falls, it will affect the outcome of the entire war, so how can they not be disturbed!
Only Changsun Chong was slightly happy. In his opinion, this was a battle report to break the city and ask for help.
Hou Junji felt a little uneasy at this time. He took the battle report from the marching secretary and glanced at Changsun Chong from the corner of his eye. His face was still calm, but his displeased eyes revealed his inner unhappiness...
Although Hou Junji also wanted to make Yang Fan embarrassed, he did not want to destroy Songzhou City.
Because the conflict with Yang Fan belongs to different factions, it is a grudge due to political opinions.
But Songzhou City involves the interests of the empire, and Hou Junji still knows very clearly what is more important.
Seeing a hint of joy in the corner of Chang Sun Chong's eyes, Hou Junji felt more and more that this was a bit weird.
Could it be that Changsun Chong really dared to have anything to do with Tubo? This would be risking the disapproval of the world.
For betraying the country and collaborating with the enemy, even if the nine tribes are executed, it will be difficult to quell the anger of His Majesty Li Er.
Opening the battle report, Hou Junji quickly read it at a glance, eyes wide with disbelief on his face.
I rubbed my eyes vigorously, but the content of the battle report was still the same:
Killed more than 70,000 Tibetan troops, defeated nearly 10,000 others, and captured Tibetan Zampo Songtsen Gampo alive...
What's even more ridiculous is that the defenders only suffered more than a hundred casualties, mainly the Zuoying soldiers guarding Gansong Ridge.
How can this be?
It’s fun!
Just with 3,000 Zuoying soldiers and more than 500 new recruits?
Isn't this a joke?
Hou Junji's first reaction was not surprise. Instead, he thought Yang Fan had lied about his military achievements and deliberately exaggerated.
But since this guy dared to send a battle report, it meant that Songzhou City had not been breached at this time, which gave Hou Junji a little relief.
But Songtsen Gampo was kept alive, what happened?
Songtsen Gampo is the Zanpu of Tubo, so this can’t be fake, right?
A series of questions made Hou Junji's brain a little exhausted.
In his mind, it would be good if Yang Fan could defend Songzhou with thousands of soldiers.
As for the elimination of the 70,000-strong Tibetan army and the capture of Songtsen Gampo alive, it is simply a fantasy and utter nonsense!
