If it is an opponent, this person must be a strong enemy.
Tuyuhun was in such a state of chaos, at the time of life and death, Murong Huayun, as a relative of the emperor, a senior general of Tuyuhun, watched the Tang army enter the pass, and did not even come down from the tower.
If he hadn't seen the internal and external situation clearly, how could he be so careless.
It is impossible for Murong Huayun not to have heard of Li Chengqian's name and the prestige of the White Robe Army.
To everyone's surprise, this big non-pass was very easy.
As long as you pass this pass, there will be no more narrow passes on the rest of the road.
When the last white-robed soldier left Dafei Pass, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The more silent it was, the more restless they became.
But Li Chengqian still had that calm appearance, he knew that Murong Huayun would never do anything.
Just as they were adjusting their formation and preparing to gallop to Futeng City, a fast horse suddenly came galloping from Dafei Pass.
"Murong Qing's special service, this is a letter from the General to His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty." Da Fei Guan Chengwei said to Morong Qing who was beside Li Chengqian.
Murong Qing was about to explain, but Li Chengqian waved his hand, "I understand."
Immediately, he turned his head to the city guard and said, "Thank you General Murong Huayun for me, and invite him to drink when I come back."
The city guard was stunned for a moment, then he saluted and said: "The humble post takes orders."
The words fall...
The city guard rode back to Dafei Pass.
When Li Chengqian opened the letter, the news that Murong Huayun could give him was by no means a trivial matter.
"Murong Qing, why does your second uncle look like a Han Chinese?"
On the side, Xue Rengui asked Murong Qing curiously.
"Second Uncle is very obsessed with Central Plains culture, and he still has half Han blood. He always said that whether it is poetry, songs, or military tactics, our Tuyuhun is less than one-tenth of the Han people."
"Because of this matter, he often quarreled with the officials in the court. He didn't want to be with the civil and military officials who claimed to be good, so he made a request with the Great Khan to guard the frontier, and then he was able to leave Fuqi. City, went to the border to hide in Qingjing."
"But my second uncle is definitely the best person in the world."
Mentioning Murong Huayun, Murong Qing had pride on his face.
The two were chatting, and the letter in Li Chengqian's hand had also been read.
"Your Highness, what did you say in the letter?"
Su Dingfang came on horseback from the Chinese army.
Li Chengqian pondered and said: "The general of Tubo, Gar Qinzan, led a [-] Tubo army to ambush on the side of Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai, preparing to attack our army."
"Tubo?" Su Dingfang was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise, "They actually came to Dafeichuan?"
Li Chengqian got off his horse and spread the map of Tuyuhun and Tubo that Murong Huayun had given him on the ground.
Mentioning that all the generals of the Tubo White Robe Army surrounded him.
Dafeichuan is located on the Qieji Plain, with the Qinghai Nanshan Mountains to the north, the Shazhuyu River in the middle, and the Ela Mountains to the south.
The route Li Chengqian wants to take is the plain area in the middle of Qinghai Nanshan and Shazhuyu River.
Although it is a plain area, Dafeichuan is located at an altitude of 4000 meters.
If it weren't for the support of Li Chengqian's God of War halo, even the White Robe Army's combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
"Songtsan Gampo is so shameless that he even chased him to Dafeichuan." Xue Rengui looked at the map and said angrily.
"It makes sense." Li Chengqian said indifferently: "Now that Murongchuan has formed an alliance with Tubo, it should not be difficult for Songtsan Gampo to send an army across the Machalli River, through the Buqing Mountain Plain, and across the Ela Mountain to Dafeichuan. And it can easily avoid Murong Bai's eyes and ears."
"If Murong Huayun hadn't told us the news, I'm afraid we would have really followed their lead."
Although Li Chengqian saw the situation clearly now, he never thought that Songtsan Gampo would have such courage.
If Garqinzan has arrived in Dafeichuan, it means that Garqinzan had set off at least a month ago.
And a month ago was the time when Murong Bai was flourishing.
From this point of view, Murong Fuyun either feigned surrender or was drugged.
However, from Murong Huayun's attitude, it can be seen that he hoped that Li Chengqian would take over Tuyuhun, which meant that Murong Fuyun was drugged.
It seems that it has not been a day or two since Murong Chuan and Songtsan Gampo colluded to usurp the position of Khan.
"Dingfang, what would you do if you were Gar Qinzan." Li Chengqian turned to look at Su Dingfang and asked.
"If he is the last general, he will definitely set up traps such as tripping ropes and horse pits in the middle of the road, and then cut down trees from the mountains to make horses and place them in the rear. With [-] spearmen, they will block our army's advancing route."
"The remaining [-] cavalry ambushed on the side of the mountain, ready to outflank from behind."
"The mountains and rivers on the left and right sides are natural barriers. The strength of the troops is nearly one to seven, and our army is not adapted to the plateau climate. From this point of view, Tubo will surely win this battle."
Su Dingfang thought about it.
Everyone nodded in agreement. If Gal Qinzan is not a fool, this is definitely the safest method.
What is Murong Chuan most lacking now?
it's time...
As long as the news of Murong Huayun letting Li Chengqian enter the pass reaches Fucheng City, Murong Bai will undoubtedly die.
Once Murong Bai died, Murong Chuan's Great Khan position was still within reach.
Therefore, Gal Qinzan's first task is to delay the time for the white robe army to rush to rescue Futeng City.
If Murong Bai was killed, it would be meaningless for Li Chengqian to go to Fucheng again.
If conditions permit, it would be the best to defeat the white-robed army and capture Li Chengqian alive.
According to common sense, this is the most logical.
Chapter 440 The Battle of Dafeichuan
However, Murong Chuan and Songtsan Gampo were not right about one thing, and that was the combat power of the White Robe Army.
Even in the plateau area, even if the white robe army faced the surprise attack of the Tubo army and fought on the plains, they would not get any benefit.
But since they met, Li Chengqian definitely didn't let them go.
"Ding Yue."
"The end is here."
"Give me the information about the Tubo army. Don't they want to encircle them? I will give them an anti-encirclement."
"The last general takes orders."
Ding Yue cupped his hands, and then led five white-robed army scouts to touch the Nanshan Mountains in Qinghai.
"Roton."
"The end is here."
"Put on your armor and lead the three thousand troops to set off first, and wait for news from Ding Yue to lure the Tubo army to attack."
"The last general takes the order." Luo Tong cupped his hands in response.
For tactical arrangements, Li Chengqian specially built a set of weapons and equipment according to Fang Tian's painted halberd and Xuan Yinjia, ready to pretend to be him at any time.
Luo Tong led the army in front, and Li Chengqian led the army in the rear, slowly marching towards the foot of the Nanshan Mountains in Qinghai.
into the night...
News came from Ding Yue's direction.
"His Royal Highness, Garqinzan is lying in ambush in the forest about 150 miles ahead, all riding lightly and fast horses."
"It's not much different from General Su Dingfang's expectation, but Gal Qinzan's cavalry is [-] instead of [-]."
"General Luo Tong has accelerated his march and is heading towards the encirclement circle of Garqinzan."
A white-robed army scout stepped forward to report.
Ding Yue did not come back, but continued to stare at Galqinzan's movements.
From this point of view, Songtsan Gambo still had some other ideas about Li Chengqian, otherwise he would not have led [-] cavalry to come.
But this is not an exaggeration, after all, this is a major event related to the life and death of Tubo.
Although this layer of paper has not been pierced, the two families are already at war.
Li Chengqian sent an order: "The whole army speeds up and keeps a distance of thirty miles from the front army."
The soldiers of the white-robed army swung their spears one after another, with serious faces, ready to fight at any time.
In the Dafeichuan Plain in the night, two teams of white-robed troops galloped forward, one behind the other.
Ahead, in the mountains and forests.
The Tubo spies came to Garqinzan's side, "Maben, a Tang army is approaching our army. Looking at the battle flag, it should be the white-robed army commanded by Prince Li Chengqian of the Tang Dynasty."
Maben means general, and Tubo implements the system of seven officials.
Yuben (local officials), govern the government affairs of the region according to laws and regulations;
Mabon (officer), a general who leads troops in battle;
Qi Ben (Sima Officer), leading the way for the Venerable, has good horse training skills;
Kishimoto (duzhiguan), in charge of food and gold and silver property collection;
Chu Ben (livestock officer) specializes in the management of female yaks, yaks and camping on credit;
Changben (judicial officer) mainly manages criminal trial duties;
Siben (administrative officer) is a local grassroots or tribal leader who manages tribal affairs.
Gal Qinzan said in a deep voice, "Have you seen the appearance of the leading general Tang? How many soldiers are there in this team?"
"Going back to Maben, the night is too dark to see clearly, but the brothers nearby saw the big halberd in the hands of the leader General Tang, the silver armor shining brightly under the moonlight, it should be Li Chengqian."
The Tubo spies responded in a low voice.
"Hmph..." Gal Qinzan showed contempt, showing disdain, "What kind of magic prince of the Tang Dynasty, in Ben Maben's eyes, is nothing more than mediocre."
"That's right, that's right." Dong Ben patted his fart on the side, "From the point of view of a villain, Mr. Zanpu is too careful, then Li Chengqian is just a bit of a legend, how can there be such an invincible person in this world?" figure."
"As long as you are willing, Maben, then Li Chengqian is still not a wisp of dead soul under your iron hooves."
Hearing this, Gal Qinzan showed joy on his face.
It's not that they are so arrogant, but this altitude sickness is not something that ordinary Tang soldiers can resist. This is an indisputable fact, and it is also the confidence of Gar Qinzan.
"Pass down our military order, the whole army prepares for battle, and when the white-robed army rushes to the front of the trap three miles away, the whole army strikes out, defeating the white-robed army in one go, and capturing Li Chengqian alive."
Gal Qinzan said in a deep voice, with an evil smile unconsciously showing on the corner of his mouth.
"Follow Maben's military orders." All the surrounding Dongben responded.
On the banks of the Shazhu River, at the foot of Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai, Luo Tong was leading the army galloping, and the three thousand white-robed soldiers were on full alert.
One against seven is not a tough battle for the soldiers of the White Robe Army.
But no matter what kind of opponent they face, the White Robe Army will never underestimate them.
Li Chengqian often warns them that a lion needs to go all out to fight a rabbit, and that the war should never be taken lightly until the last moment.
"General, be careful, there is a trap set by the Tubo army twenty miles ahead." The scouts accompanying Luo Tong reminded.
Luo Tong snorted, "The whole army is on alert, ready to turn around."
Just when Luo Tong was about three miles away from the Tubo trap, the flames suddenly appeared behind him.
The shouts of killing all over the mountains and plains swept towards the white-robed army, with a monstrous momentum.
Gal Qinzan couldn't wait to lead the army to attack.
He didn't want to give Li Chengqian time to get into the trap and react. He wanted to rush to the white-robed army the moment they fell into the trap, and then give the white-robed army a fatal blow.
If it was another army that was attacked by surprise, they must have panicked and fled forward frantically.
But in the face of the prepared white-robed army, Galqin praised all his efforts, all in vain.
