It was mid-July of the eleventh year of Zhenguan.
The scorching sun is scorching the earth, and the sun is like a furnace trying to ignite the world.
At the Zuoying Station in Suzhou City, the soldiers' drills were also changed to morning and evening hours.
After all, the weather is hot and high-intensity training will cause soldiers to suffer from stroke and faint.
Therefore, these soldiers only need to maintain their original training habits, which gives Yang Fan and other generals half a day of leisure.
Inside the military tent of Zuoying.
Su Dingfang, Zhai Changsun, Zhou Daowu, Han Wei, Niu Jinda and others were all sitting together, chewing ice cubes in their mouths, looking very comfortable.
Nowadays, as long as these guys have arranged their military affairs, they will come to the military tent almost every day to soak up the air conditioning and chew ice cubes.
Yang Fan's military tent has simply become a place for them to escape the summer heat.
But who told Yang Fan to make ice cubes in the hot summer?
Especially Han Wei, a local snake. All the supplies for the army were provided by Songzhou City, but he didn't know where the ice came from, and he was secretly amazed.
At the beginning, Niu Jinda and others also suspected that Han Wei was engaging in malpractice and providing it specifically to Yang Fan.
When everyone saw that Han Wei also came to Yang Fan's tent to enjoy the air conditioning, they realized that the ice cubes were made by Yang Fan himself.
Who dares to imagine that it is possible to take out ice cubes in such a hot weather? Who knows how Yang Fan preserves the ice cubes...
But now Yang Fan's prestige is spreading more and more, and everyone is not surprised.
After all, what is impossible for the God of Thunder who can create such a powerful weapon as the Thunder God?
Sitting in the main seat, Yang Fan glanced at the group of guys who were eating and drinking, and said with a sigh of relief: "What on earth is going on with our commander-in-chief? Facing a group of rabble from Tubo, he was actually blocked in the Seven Stars Canyon. There is more than a month nearby, and when the war is over, won’t it be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?”
For a young man who has been exposed to fishy food, it is really uncomfortable to live alone and sleepless. It has been almost half a year since he has not known the smell of meat, and the war is dragging on. Of course, he can't help but start to complain.
In fact, this is nothing!
More importantly, Yang Fan knew that once winter entered, it would be extremely cold in alpine areas like Tubo. If they wanted to decide on a battle, the Tang army would be really miserable if they marched on ice and snow!
It would be weird to freeze to death!
He didn't want the soldiers of Tang Dynasty to die in vain.
Han Wei swallowed the ice cube in his mouth with a few clicks and said: "Marquis Zhongyi doesn't know something. The Tubo army is composed of young men from various tribes. Although Songtsen Gampo was captured alive by us, every army If you have your own leader, there will be no situation where Songtsen Gampo will be defeated if he is captured alive!"
"Besides, the generals leading the Tibetan army are not simple. Even the generals may not be able to win in one battle. According to intelligence from the scouts, the battle between the two armies will be mutually beneficial, and it may take some time."
Yang Fan asked doubtfully: "Oh? Who is the general of Tubo?"
In fact, it is not surprising that Yang Fan is like this. Although he has some difficulties with Hou Junji, it is undeniable that Hou Junji's military ability is leveraged.
The Tubo general was able to lead a group of miscellaneous troops to compete with Hou Junji's elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. It is obvious that the leader is not simple.
Zhai Changsun and Su Dingfang looked at each other and covered their faces with their hands...
This general of ours is too lazy!
Didn't you read the information sent by the scouts? There are detailed records on it.
What a shame!
Niu Jinda laughed and said: "For Marquis Zhongyi, it doesn't matter who the Tubo general is. Victory or defeat is just a matter of hands, but the little monkey can't..."
Of course everyone knows that the little monkey Niu Jinda refers to is Hou Junji.
Niu Jinda and Cheng Yaojin are brothers in life and death, and of course they can't stand Hou Junji, so it's normal to make fun of him.
Zhai Changsun took over the conversation and said with concern: "Being able to confront the commander for so long shows that Lu Dongzan and his son do have some tricks up their sleeves!"
Yang Fan was confused: "Lu Dongzan can still march and fight?"
In Yang Fan's view, Lu Dongzan is just a diplomatic expert and internal affairs official. I really don't know that this guy can lead troops to fight.
Su Dingfang couldn't bear it anymore and reminded: "General, the leader of the Tubo army near Qixing Canyon is Gar Qinling Zanzhuo, and Ludong Zan is his father..."
"Gar. Qinling Zanzhuo?"
A flash of lightning flashed across his mind, and Yang Fan seemed familiar. Then he thought of something and his expression changed drastically.
Dear sister!
Gar. Qinling Zanzhuo, isn’t it just about Qinling?
This man is very good at using soldiers, and he is a rare general in hundreds of years. This guy is the God of War of Tubo!
Historical records show that during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Tubo forces had seriously threatened the border situation of the Tang Dynasty, so Xue Rengui was appointed as the general to conquer the west and led hundreds of thousands of Tang Dynasty elite troops to attack Tubo.
I thought it was a sure thing, but I never expected that the Tang army led by Xue Rengui was almost completely wiped out.
The person who defeated Xue Rengui was Gar Qinling Zandhuo.
What makes Gar Qinling Zanzhuo even more powerful is that this guy not only defeated Xue Rengui, but also defeated Wang Xiaojie and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty. For more than thirty years, the Tang Dynasty did not dare to send troops to Tibet again, and could only adopt a soft policy. , and even went on the defensive against Tibetan invasion.
From here we can see that Gar Qin Ling Zan Zhuo's military ability is really powerful.
If Wu Zetian hadn't resorted to alienation tactics in the end, he really wouldn't have been able to kill Gar Qinling Zandhuo.
Didn’t this guy come to power after Songtsen Gampo’s death? Why did he go out with the army this time?
Now we are in big trouble!
Although Hou Junji was good at marching and fighting, he also learned the art of war from Li Jing for a period of time.
But in Yang Fan's view, Hou Junji's ability is at most similar to Xue Rengui, and it is simply impossible to defeat Gar Qinling Zandhuo.
I don't have gold to exchange for grenades. If I try hard, I may suffer huge losses.
It seems that someone has to go and inform Hou Junji to be careful, otherwise the boat may capsize in the gutter.
Once you remind yourself, it may be counterproductive. You have to let someone who can make Hou Junji listen.
correct!
Isn't Changsun Chong still in Songzhou City? This guy is the best candidate.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan's eyes lit up and he asked: "Captain Han, how is Changsun Chong's current situation?"
Han Wei spoke freely and teased: "The eldest son-in-law has recovered physically, but he has not been able to go out or step forward during this period of time. He almost became a lady in everyone. Why, Marquis Zhongyi wants to tease him again?"
Of course no one would like an inspector like Chang Sun Chong who deliberately seeks trouble. Han Wei's words immediately aroused bursts of laughter.
Ever since the last time Changsun Chong was taken to Gansong Ridge by Yang Fan to count the corpses, he was frightened by the horrific scene and fell seriously ill after returning to Songzhou City.
It is said that because of the fright, Changsun Chong rarely stepped out of his room even if his condition improved. Even when he went out to relieve himself, he had to be followed by several soldiers.
Such glorious deeds suddenly became a joke in Songzhou City.
