"Stop moving forward,"

Tang Chao drew out his Black Iron Sword with a clatter and chopped off a pine and cypress tree on the roadside where several people were hugging each other. His momentum was astonishing.

His voice was actually not much, but it burst out with extremely strong secret energy. The whole army heard it and stopped marching immediately.

…

Niu Sengru's eyes were round.

He led an army of 100,000 people and Prince Xuanzan's cavalry of 100,000 people far away from Jianmen Pass and came to this remote Xiling, in order to successfully ambush.

In order to keep this ambush absolutely secret, Niu Sengru spent a lot of effort.

Three days in advance, he had already led the army to Xiling. The military discipline was strict along the way, not even a scout team was sent out, and even Li Longji's envoy was prohibited from contacting him, so the march was truly secret.

The soldiers ate dry food, and the places they passed were deserted cliffs. Once they found a home, they were all immediately surrendered to the army, and all those who did not agree to join the army were executed.

There was only one purpose for doing this, which was to prevent the Tang Dynasty's scouts and reconnaissance troops from detecting his ambush.

The ambush that traveled a hundred and fifty miles, coupled with cruel confidentiality measures, actually allowed him to succeed.

He was once a subordinate of the Tang Dynasty, so he naturally knew everything about the Tang Dynasty. He was especially wary of the Tang Dynasty's carrier pigeons that carried messages. Wherever he passed, as long as there were pigeons, he would definitely shoot them down.

He understood that after this, even if the Tang Dynasty's sentinels could discover his troops, they would not be able to pass on the news in a hurry.

Just doing this is enough.

Niu Sengru was certainly not a fool. Of course, he had also thought about joining the Tang Dynasty, but by some mistake, he actually came to Li Longji's side. And Li Longji had no idea about the people who came to help him in times of crisis. He was so grateful that he was given the power equivalent to the prime minister, and people like Wei Jian were also pushed aside.

Such deep kindness and kindness naturally inspired his ambition. He wanted to help Li Longji pacify the world and gain unparalleled fame.

In his eyes, although the Tang Dynasty was powerful, they were still rebellious officials and traitors.

Li Longji was defeated at the hands of the Tang Dynasty last time and had less than 100,000 troops. Fortunately, Niu Sengru brought tens of thousands of horses to join him.

Although Niu Sengru did not bring many men and horses at that time, there were 20,000 cavalrymen. He was able to bring a glass of water to Li Longji, who was about to die of thirst.

Coupled with Li Longji's humble invitation to the Tibetan army, he finally invited the army of Prince Xuanzan of Tibet.

Only in this way can Lang Zhengxuan's elite troops in Nanzhao be defeated.

During the civil strife in Tubo, Li Longji once supported the current Tubo Zanpu. It was Li Longji's support at that time that enabled the current Tubo Hamiluzanpu to ascend to the throne and control the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

It was precisely because of this relationship that Hami Road Zanpu sent his consort Bu Guhuai'en and his eldest son Prince Xuanzan to lead troops to help Li Longji.

However, Bu Guhuai'en was defeated at the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Hami Lu Zanpu felt that it was an insult to the country's prestige, so he sent another 100,000 cavalry, led by Xuanzan. Even if he could not help Li Longji defeat Anlu Mountain, he must first ensure Li Longji's safety. .

It can be regarded as repaying Li Longji's original kindness.

In this ambush, Prince Xuanzan's cavalry was naturally delayed for a long time. After all, the cavalry was much faster.

After the two generals laid an ambush, they watched the Tang Dynasty leading the army into their encirclement from the top of Xiling Mountain, feeling extremely happy in their hearts.

This time, they must defeat the Tang Dynasty and teach the young emperor of the new Tang Dynasty a lesson.

Niu Sengru wanted to prove himself and prove that he was stronger than the Tang Dynasty. He knew that in terms of martial arts, he could never surpass the Tang Dynasty, but in terms of strategy, he was confident that his ability would definitely surpass the Tang Dynasty.

What Prince Xuanzan wants to do is to avenge Bu Guhuai'en.

The Tubo cavalry has always been a nightmare in the Western Regions, but they fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. This is a fact that no one in Tibet can accept.

Since the time of Songtsen Gampo, the military power of Tibet has been extremely strong. Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, who was so powerful in later generations, was afraid of Tibet's cavalry and wanted to use Princess Wencheng to recruit Tibet. This shows how powerful the Tibetan cavalry is.

"General Niu, what on earth is going on?"

Prince Xuanzan asked Niu Sengru in very awkward Chinese, his eyes full of suspicion.

Niu Sengru hurriedly said: "Bye bye, Prince, please calm down. It's definitely not possible that the news was not blocked. It must be that the Tang Dynasty was too cunning. I will send someone to investigate immediately and make a decision after the investigation."

Soon, Niu Sengru sent someone to check the movements of the Tang Dynasty army.

…

The cavalry he led this time was only 40,000, and the infantry numbered 100,000, totaling an army of 140,000.

Before occupying Chang'an at that time, during the battle with Guo Ziyi in Hanoi, the Tang Dynasty had vaguely realized some shadows of the way of sincerity. At that time, it did not fall into Guo Ziyi's ambush at Qingshi'ao.

Now, he has naturally advanced to a higher level. As soon as he has a premonition, he quickly stops marching.

From the moment he proclaimed himself emperor in Chang'an, his momentum reached a peak, his sincerity broke through, and he felt the admiration and awe from countless courtiers.

Although he did not absorb the essence formed by these people at the time, he naturally understood it later.

This kind of worship and this kind of belief are the essence of his climb to the top of the road.

Only when these countless things come together can luck be formed.

The ancient science of Feng Shui is extremely mysterious and is a means of gathering luck.

This is also the reason why countless dynasties in ancient times chose to establish their capitals in Chang'an, Luoyang, and Beijing.

The accumulation of luck over hundreds of years and thousands of years, the beliefs of countless people, the superior geographical environment and other factors have naturally contributed to the prosperity of these famous cities.

Only in such a place can the country's destiny be prosperous, the country peaceful and the people safe, and passed on to future generations for immortality.

Since he ascended the throne as the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, some things that he could not think of or do before have become a reality. He has also begun to understand some of the mysteries of power and at the same time explore the origin of the great road.

Now, of course, he has not yet glimpsed the avenue.

But compared to when he was at the Battle of Hanoi, his understanding of the great road was already deeper.

This can be known from his current premonition ability.

…

Facing the astonished generals and soldiers, Tang Chao pointed his whip and pointed at the stacked mountains: "Generals, don't panic. You see, there is a strong murderous intent in these continuous mountains. If If my guess is correct, the reconnaissance troops ahead ran into trouble, and that's why they didn't send the information back in time."

murderous look.

What is this?

Upon hearing this, many generals cursed in their hearts, but because he was the emperor, they tolerated it for the time being.

After all, these words have always been heard only from the mouths of storytellers and Yin and Yang families, but now they come from the mouth of the emperor.

Something like murderous aura is so ethereal that it is impossible to see it.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty ignored these people's ideas and ordered the front line of the army to be turned into the rear line, and formed a formation with grain, grass, baggage and vehicles, close to the mountains and underwater fortresses.

The situation at that time was with the Lancang River on one side and the steep Xiling Plank Road on the other.

After a while of pouring incense, a horse flew up, and a man in green clothes jumped out of the horse.

Everyone knew immediately that they were members of the Pigeon Troop, because they were the only ones wearing civilian clothes and could easily hide their identities.

The man got off his horse and reported loudly: "Your Majesty, the flying eagle is delivering the message. Our carrier pigeon cannot send it out. The flying eagle ordered me to fly the flying horse to deliver the message. There is an ambush in front, and the army must not enter Zhang Fei's camp."

When the generals heard this, they were so surprised that they were speechless and horrified in their hearts.

Sure enough, as the Tang Dynasty said, there is murderous intent ahead and an ambush in the mountains.

After all, murderous intent is not something that ordinary people can see. For a moment, he once slandered the generals of the Tang Dynasty and admired the emperor to the ground.

"Be specific,"

"It's your Majesty. Fortunately, you were foresighted and ordered to stop the advance. They, Niu Sengru's troops and Prince Xuanzan's troops, were stationed in the area of ​​Zhang Fei Camp, in the rolling mountains on both sides. They had set up pocket formations, waiting for His Majesty's command. army,"

In the southwest, there are relics of the Three Kingdoms War everywhere. The Zhang Fei Camp here must have been where Zhang Fei once stationed troops.

"How far is Zhang Fei camp from here?"

"There are still ten miles to go,"

When the generals heard this, they were frightened again. If the Tang Dynasty had not ordered the army to stop advancing, the army would have been surrounded by heavy siege.

On this steep plank road and in the treacherous terrain, even if a large number of troops could break out of the encirclement, I am afraid that Xintang's vitality would be severely damaged from then on.

The Tang Dynasty understood that at this time, Lang Zhengxuan's army had not been defeated and had not gone very far. It was stationed in the Mianzhu area. It was impossible to rendezvous within a short period of time.

The only thing you can do now is to use the troops you have.

Fortunately, I am behind and have 140,000 elite soldiers. Now that I know Niu Sengru's plot, I will not sit still and wait to be killed.

"What a great Niu Sengru. We treated him sincerely before and gave him the 'red pill' as an antidote. Your Majesty, I will definitely catch him, drink his blood, and eat his flesh," Long The reaction was very strong.

Tang Chao smiled: "At this moment, at that moment, under the circumstances at that time, he was indeed loyal to me, and it was nothing to give him an antidote. Since I was able to subdue him back then, I can still do it now."

As soon as he said this, all the generals' faces lit up.

The Tang Dynasty seemed to have injected a shot of cardiotonic into their hearts.

"Our army conquered the world, suppressed the Lingnan rebellion, then defended the Anxi governor, then moved to Jiannan, and then occupied Chang'an without a single defeat. Do you know the biggest reason for my victory?"

"Your Majesty has a wonderful plan," many generals shouted in unison.

Tang Chao smiled: "Thank you for your compliments. In fact, there is nothing to tell you. It is intelligence. The main reason for my victory is intelligence. As for how I can accurately find out everything about the enemy, you generals do not need to go into details. In short, as long as you follow my orders, you will be able to kill Niu Sengru and Prince Xuanzan without leaving any trace behind. Hmm, he can use an ambush, but I can’t,"
