The Tang Dynasty sighed, his voice full of compassion: "I have already killed 60,000 Tibetan troops in the previous battle, and in this battle, I killed more than 10,000 of them and robbed almost all of their horses. Prince Xuanzan is no longer afraid, and I deliberately

Not killing him does not mean that I am letting the tiger go back to the mountain, or that I am showing mercy to the enemy, but that I am showing mercy to the enemy.

To undermine the morale of the Li family army, in fact, I can tell you that next time, I may not have the chance to kill Prince Xuan. After all, he was eager for revenge today, which is why he was in such a passive situation. In fact, the real fight

, even if I can defeat him, it will be extremely difficult to kill him,"

"Your Majesty, I don't understand. If we want to undermine their morale, wouldn't it be better to kill him? Why should we let him go?"

Rondo scratched his head anxiously.

"You don't know something. After all, Xuanzan is the prince of Tubo. If I don't give him any face, capture him and then let him go. Given his character, he will probably commit suicide in anger. But I don't want him to die now.

But I want him to retreat when faced with difficulties, this is my original intention,"

Sheva was a little doubtful: "Your Majesty's move is really clever. It can be said that it is a risky move. After Prince Xuanzan is defeated again, his energy will be exhausted. It is very likely that he will return to Tubo as your Majesty expected. After all, just like

What His Majesty said to him at that time was that Tibet had sacrificed so much, which was enough.

In order to repay Li Longji's kindness to Tibet at that time, and according to my guess, Li Longji and Li Heng's current finances must be very tight, and they cannot spare any extra money to make friends with Tibet, and praise the prince for his Majesty's refusal to kill him.

With such kindness, maybe I really won’t abandon Li Longji,”

"But Your Majesty, Niu Sengru was obviously seriously injured. Considering the situation at that time, why didn't you kill him? You should at least be able to capture him," Rondo asked again.

Tang Chao smiled: "My adoptive father must know this question, let him tell you,"

Sheva smiled and said: "Your Majesty had already anticipated such a result when he was in Chang'an, and had already formulated countermeasures. When he saw Niu Sengru, he deliberately let him go. It would be of great use when the time comes.

,"

"What a big deal, letting him go for free, doesn't this make the traitor easier?"

"Hehe, let me tell you, His Majesty's purpose for doing this is, firstly, to ask him to follow Li Longji back to Lingwu and help Li Longji seize Li Heng's military power, so as to cause discord within them, and secondly, to make him a friend.

,"

"I can understand the first point the Dharma King said, which is to let them kill each other, but I don't understand the second point. How can we make friends with such traitors? We can just kill them with one knife."

Rondo almost died at the hands of Niu Sengru just now, and he naturally hated him deeply in his heart.

"This is the use of power. Niu Sengru is not a bad person, but a capable person. His martial arts has reached the early stage of transformation. He is a rare talent. The reason why he abandoned me is because he believes that Li Longji can rule the world.

, to achieve his immortal achievements, this is a man with great ambitions in his heart, if I can make friends with him, he may not be able to rely on me again,"

"How can Your Majesty want such a person with such a bad character?"

Rondo felt incredible.

"Haha, you don't understand even if I tell you. Hurry up and form your team. His Majesty is going to inspect the three armies immediately."

Rondo left as ordered, and Sheva smiled at Tang Chao: "Your Majesty, even if I tell this bastard about the wonderful uses of these tactics, he doesn't understand. In fact, I always thought that Your Majesty didn't kill Niu Sengru and Li Longji because

Thinking about the old love back then, now it seems that this is what it meant,"

Tang Chao nodded, with a solemn look in his eyes: "Yes, the fight between the two countries is related to the wealth and lives of tens of millions of people. How can I have the slightest bit of kindness as a woman? If there is no such purpose, how can I do it today?" We will let Li Longji and Niu Sengru leave. Of course, to be honest, even if we can kill Niu Sengru and Prince Xuanzan, there is a high possibility that we will not be able to kill Li Longji because the Yitian Sword in his hand is too strong. It's too domineering, and I'm desperate, but I can't kill Prince Xuanzan, lest I attract Hamiluzanpu's army. It is said that this man's martial arts is already a master in the middle stage of transformation, and he is good at using troops. Once Prince Xuanzan Being killed will definitely attract Tibetan troops. Under the current situation in the Central Plains, being able to introduce one less army is a great blessing for me and Anlu Mountain. In my estimation, Guli Pero The Turks and Turks have not sent troops yet. They are waiting for the situation in the Central Plains to come to a conclusion before entering to reap the benefits. Although I married the princess of these two countries and have a deep relationship, these two countries may not have no existence. Selfishness,"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. We really should not attack the Tibetan army again when the situation is in chaos. Otherwise, foreign armies will enter the Central Plains one after another, which will definitely cause a situation beyond our control."

At present, the Tang Dynasty was reviewing the three armies, and Lang Zhengxuan was also among them.

In this battle, the Tang Dynasty army suffered very few losses, with only more than 3,000 casualties, and seized a large amount of grain and supplies, as well as 50,000 well-equipped war horses.

The Tang Dynasty ordered that 50,000 horses be allocated to Lang Zhengxuan with 10,000 horses to expand the cavalry, and the remaining 40,000 horses were used to enrich its own cavalry.

He had systematically trained cavalry for a long time, but he only lacked horses. Now with these 40,000 horses, he suddenly had more than 80,000 elite cavalry, including the 20,000 cavalry guarding Yangping Pass. The current number of cavalry in the Tang Dynasty was The number of cavalry is already equivalent to that of Shi Siming's cavalry stationed outside Yangping Pass, reaching a terrifying 100,000 cavalry.

The invasion of the Tibetan army did not weaken the Tang Dynasty, but instead sent him tens of thousands of fine war horses and countless grain and grass supplies.

The Tang Dynasty army immediately entered Chengdu, and Lang Zhengxuan delivered a speech to the entire army at the famous Wuhou Temple, officially taking possession of the southwest.

Lang Zhengxuan was full of confidence and once again expressed his respect for the Tang Dynasty at the swearing-in meeting. He became the southwest king of the Tang Dynasty and immediately led a hundred thousand Nanzhao army to conquer Li Longji with the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty ordered generals Ban Lin and Xin Baijiang to garrison Jianmen Pass, and sent civilian officials to Mianzhu, Chengdu, Dali and other places to rule the entire southwest and sway Bo Fu.

In the late spring of the first year of the New Tang Dynasty, on March 18th, the Tang Dynasty brought 80,000 cavalry, with Langzhengxuan as the front, itself as the middle army, and Shewa as the rear.

With more than fifty generals and a total of 200,000 elite troops of the horse and infantry armies, they left Jianmen Pass in the west and marched north to the Yellow River, hoping to attack the Li family's army in Xuzhou with An Lushan.

…

Li Longji ran for half a day to collect troops and horses in Wusheng County, but there were less than 10,000 soldiers.

Fortunately, not long after, the Tibetan soldiers arrived with Prince Xuanzan in their arms. Li Longji looked at it and felt secretly ashamed. It turned out that although Xuanzan's 40,000 cavalrymen all lost their horses and suffered heavy casualties, there were still 30,000 people behind the war.

In this way, the two sides were clearly superior to each other. The fighting power of the Li family army was really vulnerable, and it would fall into pieces after a single fight. However, the Tubo army was very disciplined, and even under such circumstances, it still had the ability to fight.

Li Longji fell to the ground and cried loudly, and told all the imperial guards to retreat to the countryside. Niu, monks, children, and others tried their best to persuade him, and immediately ordered the soldiers to form groups to rob food, bury pots to make rice, and discuss their future actions.

The Tibetan soldiers did not use the cows, monks, and children to teach them, but also rushed to the countryside to plunder food to fill their stomachs.

"Your Majesty, I have already risked my life to repay your great kindness. I am preparing to return to Tibet. Please forgive me."

I don't know when Prince Xuanzan came to Li Longji and bowed deeply.

After running away all the way, he finally figured it out in his mind.

The elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were indeed too powerful. Before the battle at Zhang Fei Gorge, he might have been brave and promised to eliminate the Tang Dynasty for Li Longji, but after the real battle with the Tang Dynasty, he knew that it was absolutely impossible.

Naturally, he had a huge hatred for the Tang Dynasty, but he still kept in mind what the Tang Dynasty said to him: when two countries are fighting, war is merciless, and sometimes there is no right or wrong.

However, the Tang Dynasty did not kill him. He obviously let him live because he did not want to form an insoluble hatred with Tubo.

The 60,000 cavalrymen who died should be regarded as being buried for Li Longji, repaying his previous kindness.

Of course, what Prince Xuanzan was most worried about was that when he led the Tibetan army to attack the Tang Dynasty again, he still had no way to win.

The battle of Zhangfei Gorge can be said to be an accident, and he really died unjustly. However, in the battle of Jianmen Pass, although the "Bird Team" of the Tang Dynasty infiltrated and took advantage of internal and external attacks, the Tubo soldiers had already wanted to take revenge. During the battle, They all risked their lives, but still more than 10,000 people died, while the casualties of the Tang Dynasty were only 3,000.

This is a terrifying gap.

There was no trickery at all, that is to say, the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army was still far behind the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course he didn't know that when the Tang Dynasty trained soldiers, formations were used as the foundation, and individual combat and coordinated combat were combined very well.

Moreover, when training Feng Xiao's scout team, they even used modern training methods for special forces, and each infantryman took turns practicing horseback kung fu.

In this way, soldiers who have undergone arduous training will naturally have strong combat effectiveness.

What's even more frightening is that most of these soldiers have personal combat experience. With a warrior like Rondo, it's hard to think of him as an elite soldier.

As for the surprise victory this time, the "big bird" used to sneak into Jianmen Pass in heavy fog was actually inspired by an airplane model that Tang Dynasty learned when he was in Zhangzhou No. 1 Middle School.

I remember that there was a science and technology innovation competition held in their class, and everyone had to submit an entry. At that time, Tang Chao just casually made an airplane, but later he actually won the grand prize, which was considered a small achievement at the time.

The use of force, the making of sails, the use of wind, and other technologies were problems that were impossible to solve in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, but in his hands, they were completed easily.

Making such a "big flying bird" that could hold up the weight of a human body was indeed a secret. Therefore, it was not until the Tang Dynasty looked at the local weather and concluded that there would be heavy fog in three days that the soldiers were allowed to train.

As early as in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty secretly sent skilled craftsmen to make such things, and they were carried with them when marching.

Therefore, soldiers are allowed to practice skillfully and achieve great success in one fell swoop.

Li Longji's tears really flowed down this time, and he looked at Prince Xuanzan: "Your Highness, are you...really going to leave me regardless of Tubo's hatred and our friendship?"
