The winter in Jiuqu Land in Hexi comes very early, with the bitter cold wind whistling, the weeds on the ground dry up, and the vast grassland is vast!

Damomen City!

It is Simolang's habit to drink a bowl of milk before going to bed. He drank a large bowl of milk, burped, and said comfortably: "A bowl of milk before going to bed, sleep till dawn!"

He lives a very comfortable life now.

It has been four months since he took over the position of marshal, halfway through Pei Min's August appointment.

Apart from the initial harassment, the Tang army had no movement at all. He was worried about the lack of troops, so he went to borrow troops from Shang Zanpo. Now it seems that Pei Min of the Tang Dynasty is just like this.

Four months have passed easily and four months left. He has hundreds of valleys, Wanxiu, tree stump, and Damomen. How could he not be able to hold on?

It is just a hairy child who has not dried up his milk. He has some ability, but as long as he is frustrated and his plan is cracked, his true colors will be revealed.

This credit should not be too easy!

Thinking of the benefits that Tubo Zamp and the real ruler Taizan Mengchimalun promised him before the war, his heart couldn't help but feel hot. He seemed to see the jealous eyes of Tubo civil and military officials. Such a relaxed and simple task could bring such a great reward, just like hitting a pie.

Withdrew into the warm bed, Simolang slept with great peace of mind.

suddenly!

"Bang bang bang!"

A hurried knock on the door came, and Simolang woke up from his dream, and said in surprise with his eyes blindfolded: "Is Tang Jun here?"

"It's a fire in the city! Someone maliciously set fire!" A hurried voice came from outside the house.

Simolang got up and dressed, saying, "Where is a fire? Is there anyone caught?"

The outsider said: "It is under investigation that the warehouse where licorice is stored has burned."

Simolang's face was pale in an instant. He figured out the reason. On this winter night, he was sweating profusely.

************

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

The rapid and deafening gathering drum echoed over Guangen Town!

The three armies gathered together and thousands of horses gathered!

Pei Min stood on the school ground with a bright Mingguang armor and looked at the team he had built over the years and said, "It's already this time, and I don't have the chance to spend this year with my family. But if you have a Tubo child to accompany me, you will not be lonely. When I was in Chang'an, the Tubo envoy intended to ask for peace from my Tang Dynasty. We asked them to return the Hexi Jiuqu stolen from my Tang Dynasty to us. They regarded the Hexi Jiuqu land as a piece of fat meat, saying that the meat he had eaten was not spit out. At that time, I said something, 'Hexi Jiuqu land is the territory of my Tang Dynasty. Even if you eat it, we will cut off your head, break your stomach, and take back the meat!'"

"I don't say anything about clichéd long-term theories, it makes people sleepy. Just one sentence, the time is to fulfill my promise! Let's go!"

No long talk!

A simple saying "fulfill your promise" made the soldiers feel passionate and dispel the cold of winter.

The entire Shence Army was dispatched, and only a small number of soldiers remained in Guangen Army Town to defend, and rushed to the upper reaches of the Jiuqu land in Hexi.

At this moment, in the middle section of the Jiuqu land in Hexi, there were another 30,000 troops waiting for battle.

The commander of the soldiers was gathered together and chatting.

It was Guo Zhiyun, the governor of Longyou, and General Zuo Xiaoqi, who spoke Gong Ren.

Guo Zhiyun's face was a little pale. In the cold wind of winter, even though he was wrapped in a bear's coat, he still looked a little timid and cold.

When it comes to Gong Ren, he is much better, but he is not even wearing a few coats and his body is as tall as before in the cold wind.

"The Jiedushi's health is fine!" Lun Gongren looked at Guo Zhiyun with some concern. It was still early winter and it was not the coldest time. Guo Zhiyun was already like this. How could he stand it if he went on?

Guo Zhiyun smiled indifferently and said, "It's okay, since a certain town guards Longyou, his greatest wish is to recover the Jiuqu of Hexi. Now that things are done, how can there be no reason not to participate? Besides, a real man was born in the world and only by wearing a horse and a corpse in his body can he be worthy of his life. What can he do if he has a minor illness?"

die on the battlefield!

When Lun Gongren heard these four words, he also showed a hint of yearning in his eyes. For Chinese culture, Lun Gongren was not inferior to ordinary scholars at all. He also understood that these four words in the heart of a general were the highest honor. He thought that he would be over fifty years old this year, and how many years would he have to live? If he could die in a grand battle, he would be worthy of his own.

Guo Zhiyun said: "What do the general thinks about Duke Pei?"

Lun Gong Ren paused and said, "The talent is amazing. If you have time, you may not be inferior to Weihuo. The Tang Dynasty has him and the military is worry-free. For example, this time, who would have thought that the government would use this intention! I just thought that he forced Tubo from the upper reaches of Hequ to make a choice, whether to attack Simolang to seize the Jiuqu land of Hexi, or to attack Shangzanpo to seize the stone fortress. No matter how he thought he was, he was not like anything, but to use the right time and place to force Simolang to attack, avoid his strengths and attack his shortcomings, and to pinch the lifeline of the Tubo army with one hand. It's amazing!"

Guo Zhiyun nodded and said, "It's true, not only you, I've also gone around him. He was not anxious for the August appointment, but I was anxious for him. But he was fine, so he had such a trick. He could take advantage of Tubo at all, and he was absolutely active in grasping the situation of the war. There are successors to Longyou..."

Lun Gongren looked at Guo Zhiyun in surprise, but he was tactful and didn't say much.

It is not a secret that Guo Zhiyun is not feeling well on the frontier. He has always trained Wang Junshi, the number one general under his command, as his heir. Now it seems that this matter is going to be ruined.

"Here you come!" Guo Zhiyun suddenly looked south, and a proud soldier appeared in their sight.

Guo Zhiyun and Lu Gongren looked at each other, and their expressions gradually became solemn and heavy from the first casualness. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The Shence Army was called the First Army on the Border, and they mostly laughed at it.

Pei Min is powerful and they do not deny it, but the establishment of a strong army requires a long period of war training. The Shen Ce Army has only been formed for a few years. How can it be compared with the powerful soldiers guarding the frontier?

Now that they saw the original appearance of the Shence Army, they couldn't help but feel a little surprised: their bright clothes and armor, neatly lined up, and their high fighting spirit all showed the extraordinary nature of the Shence Army.

But in just a few years, the Shen Ce Army actually grew up here!

The two of them were amazed and led the crowd to greet them.

When he came nearby, Pei Min dismounted and said hello first: "I have met the Jiedushi, and talked about the general."

This expedition was dominated by the Shence Army, Longyou Army, and Liangzhou Army as the auxiliary. Guo Zhiyun was higher than Pei Min in military position, so Guo Zhiyun was the commander of the three armies of the Longyou Road, and Pei Min was the deputy commander and second only to Guo Zhiyun. However, when Li Longji issued an appointment, he added a special sentence, "The responsibilities of the three armies are the first to submit Min", which also means that although Pei Min was not the commander, he was the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

However, Guo Zhiyun, in other words, Gong Ren is an elder, and he is a senior who has made many military achievements for the Tang Dynasty. Pei Min gave them enough respect.

Guo Zhiyun and Gongren also dismounted and returned the ceremony. The three of them did not reminisce about the past and directly led their troops to the north.

Pei Min also saw that Guo Zhiyun looked bad and asked about the situation on the way.

After receiving Guo Zhiyun's answer, Pei Min was convinced but didn't know how to comfort him.

He had already decided to settle down, which was a vast land thirty miles north of Manglagou.

The vast land over there is a vast area, which is most suitable for large-scale combat and is Pei Min's ideal battlefield.

In view of the Tubo's characteristic of being good at attacking, Pei Min divided the Shence Army, Longyou Army and Liangzhou Army into three battalions.

The Shence Army was the front, the Longyou Army and the Liangzhou Army formed a horn-like force to deal with the possible night attacks from Tubo.

The Tang army began to stop moving again!

************

Damomen City!

Simolang frowned and felt helpless.

He joined the army for 15 years and has not experienced any hard battles.

But Simaru Lang had his first life to fight such a frustrated battle.

The grasslands in Jiuqu land in Hexi are vast, and their herds are scattered around and are not suitable for defense. They miscalculate repeatedly. It is because he is not capable enough, but he really cannot rescue him.

Especially the other party's intelligence work was extremely in place, and they could find their weaknesses to attack, forcing him to shrink his formation and gather the herds to gather and break the attack.

After making such a decision, they did not avoid the harm of harassment, which forced the Tang army to do nothing and remained silent.

Ximolang was quite content with this. Before the Tang army came to attack, he repaired Baigu City, Wanxiu City, Shuduan City, and Damomen City to deal with the possible attack of the Tang army.

However, the Tang army remained silent for several months, and Shimolang felt inexplicable and did not know what tricks Pei Min had.

Until winter came, a few fires instantly made Simolang realize, but it was too late.

The Tang army had already sent troops north as soon as possible, and a 50,000 army threatened Baigucheng.

The cunning and shameless Pei Min avoided the high and fat season of autumn grass, and took advantage of the cold of winter to cut off their logistics food and grass: most of their logistics support comes from the milk of cattle and sheep. In the cold winter, the amount of cattle and sheep milk is reduced. In the past, they used winter dead grass to supplement dry grass, and the essence grass helped cattle and sheep survive the winter.

Pei Min secretly burned most of their hay and forced them to the small Jiuqu ground in Hexi to be unable to grazle...

How do they spend this winter?

There is no food for cattle and sheep, and there is no food for people to follow!

In the middle of winter, where do they go to find hay to feed hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep?

Once these hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep starve to death, their Tubo life in Jiuqu land in Hexi will be gone!

After a series of defeats, Tubo's national strength was already consumed, and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were lost. Where can the economy be consumed?

Simolang never thought that Pei Min was so deceitful that he actually took advantage of the winter and the climate to attack the inconspicuous hay, and directly forced them into a desperate situation.

If you don't go out to fight, you will be trapped in the city and wait for death.

There is still a glimmer of hope when going out to fight.
