The Wuhu River defense war ended with the Tang Dynasty's victory and 40,000 horses were seized. However, in the distant western Sichuan, another shocking news came.

Cui Xiuning, who is still in Wuhu, is: "The Tubo tribes have finally sent troops! The vanguard has arrived in Songzhou (Songpan)!"

"Dosima, Duogansi, and Uszang's three major Xuanwei Divisions have sent troops! There are nine thousand households in Weizang, nine thousand households, six thousand households, five thousand households, and all four thousand households in Anduo District have sent troops!"

"There are troops sent by various units, and it is best to have 80,000 cavalry less than the total!"

It has been four months since Kublai Khan ordered the Tubo tribes to send troops, and it has been time for them to send troops.

Cui Xiuning was a little scared when he received the report. This was news from many days ago. Needless to think, the Tubo army must have entered Sichuan now.

It is estimated that within ten days, you will definitely be able to leave Guizhou (Zigui) and enter Huguang!

Fortunately, the Tubo tribes only produced 80,000 troops, fewer than expected. But the time came was not the same.

The war in Hengyang has not yet ended, and Jiangling Lu Wenhuan still has the upper hand. If the 80,000 plateau cavalry suddenly arrives in Huguang, then the battle situation...

"Don't worry, my grandmother, isn't there a 50,000 army in Bozhou? As long as the county horses send troops to guard the important roads out of Sichuan and block the Tubo cavalry in Sichuan and cannot get out of it, it will be a long time." Shi Shanhu said.

Cui Xiuning nodded. Bozhou was a half-light and half-dark chess. The Yuanting must have known that Bozhou had rebelled secretly, but Bozhou did not raise the flag and raise the army. Now the Yuanting pretends not to know.

But now, Bozhou must start an early rush.

…………

On the first day of the first lunar month, it was originally New Year's Day (ancient New Year's Day). Kebozhou did not have any New Year's atmosphere, but was filled with tension everywhere.

On this day, Yang Hanming, the Duke of Boguo and the envoy of Bozhou Xuanwei, suddenly announced that he would change his flag and return to the Tang Dynasty and raise an army to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty!

On that day, Yang Hanming, who had already prepared, left 10,000 troops to guard Loushan Pass, and 10,000 troops to garrison the territory. He personally led 30,000 troops north and went straight to Sichuan.

He had to raise an army because the Tubo troops had entered Sichuan.

At this time, Sichuan was also in a panic.

A few days ago, a large number of Tubo soldiers suddenly appeared in Songzhou and then rolled eastward. Since Sichuan was still in the hands of the Yuan court, the Tubo army did not loot in Sichuan, nor did they stay, but went straight eastward without stopping.

The intention is very obvious, go out of Sichuan and Chu!

The commander of the Tubo army was Yuxi Timur, the important minister of the Yuan Dynasty, and the deputy commander was Damadasi, the envoy of the Duosmaxuanwei Division.

Yuxi Timur was also an acquaintance of Li Luo. After Li Luo succeeded in his bidding, he replaced Li Luo as the political affairs of Pingzhang, Japan. After the Japanese resistance gradually subsided, he was transferred to the political affairs of Pingzhang, Gansu Province this year, and assisted the mediation of the King of Anxi and King of Xidao.

The deputy general, Damadasi, was a Tubo general. This man was not only Duosima (Qinghai) Xuanwei envoy, but also the younger brother of Sang Ge, the left prime minister of the Secretariat. He was very powerful in Tibet.

The troops led by the two men were not only Tubo people, but also Qiang people, Dangxiang people, and Tubo-turned Han people.

The sources are also very diverse, but the Tubo army has the largest number of soldiers. The Han people who became Tubo also have as many as 10,000.

After hundreds of years, Tubo soldiers and horses appeared again in Sichuan and Shu.

Under the constraints of Yuxi Timur and Damadasi, the Tubo army did not plunder Sichuan, but wanted to go to Huguang to kill Li Luo and Xiao Yin as soon as possible.

Li Luo's former colleague, formerly the right prime minister of Fujian, was later elected by Li Luo as Pingzhang of Jiangbei, Henan, and later implicated by Li Luo and demoted to the left prime minister of Sichuan. This time he also fought with Yuxi Timur in the east.

He really wanted to humiliate the "Pingzhang official" after Li Luo's defeat.

However, as soon as Yuxi Timur arrived in Xuzhou (Yibin), he heard annoying news.

Damn Yang Hanming turned against him!

The Bozhou Army actually became the Tang army, guarding the southern banks of Guizhou and Baidi City, making it impossible for his army to leave Sichuan!

It turned out that although Lu Wenhuan left thousands of troops in Guizhou when he left Sichuan, the soldiers under Yang Hanming were mainly Miao soldiers who were good at crossing mountains and ridges. Miao soldiers crossed the mountains along the south bank of the Three Gorges, and unexpectedly appeared in Guizhou, attacking the city in one fell swoop.

Lu Wenhuan's efforts were in vain.

When Yuxi Timur learned of this news, he was so angry that he killed the garrison of Guizhou who fled back to Sichuan.

The road from Sichuan to Chu is the most convenient way to go along the south bank of the Yangtze River to Guizhou. But because of this, Guizhou is also a strong city on the river bank, and there are a few Tang army naval troops.

Although the Tubo cavalry was not good at attacking tough battles, Yuxi Timur still issued a military order to attack Guizhou.

Another battlefield started. Yuxi Timur ordered the recruitment of young and barbarian soldiers in Sichuan, climb the river bank and the mountains, and go around to the back of Guizhou to attack.

Yang Hanming, who obtained the information, also sent his subordinates to intercept and kill them in the mountains.

For a time, the mountains on the eastern south bank of the Three Gorges were bloody again.

Yang Hanming suddenly changed his flag and returned to the Tang Dynasty and seized Guizhou. He not only blocked the passage of the Tubo army to leave Sichuan, but also blocked the passage of the passage of Lu Wenhuan's army to return to Sichuan.

For a while, the Tubo army could no longer advance eastward.

…………

At this time, the Yunnan King Yeshen Timur of Qiyang had been besieged by a coalition force three times his own for six days.

The Yuan army in Huang County and Baoqing was unable to break through the blockade and rushed back to rescue.

The Tang army bombarded the Yuan camp every day, causing heavy casualties and severe morale to be sluggish.

"King, it's time for the general attack." Wen Tianxiang suggested in the coalition camp.

Xiao Yan also suggested: "General, Yesen Timur's army is disintegrating, and it's time to attack. I'm afraid that there will be more dreams in the night. It's also very hard for Huang County and Baoqing to block the Yuan army."

He was worried that Yesudier's Yuan army would defeat the blocking troops and rushed back to rescue him.

Li Luo received information from the Special Inspection Bureau and smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I'm waiting for a day. Tonight, the Yuan army may change."

The time for the general attack is indeed ripe. But at this time, there will still be great casualties in attacking the Yuan camp.

He is waiting.

Wait for the Yuan army to change.

Two days ago, the undercover agent in Yuanying shot colored feather arrows and told him some movement.

Wen Tianxiang also understood, "Which king is talking about Duan's father and son?"

Li Luo nodded, "The Duan father and son will most likely change. If they don't move, they will be buried with Yesen Timur."

"Chen Shuzhen."

"I'm here." Chen Shuzhen stood up.

Li Luo said: "Give you 30,000 soldiers and horses who are good at mountain combat and go to Lingquyuan to ambush."

Chen Shuzhen said: "The king thinks that the Duan family and son may pass by there?"

Li Luo pondered and said, "It's probably going to pass there. Even if you pass by, you may not be able to capture Duan's father and son, but you must try your best to annihilate their troops. I will assign you five thousand musket soldiers."

Li Luo said while signing an order to mobilize troops in a generation.

"No!" Chen Shuzhen received the order and immediately made an appointment.

Li Luo said it right. At this time, the Duan family and his son did have a secret discussion.

Secretly discuss leaving behind the camp and fleeing into the mountains.

This is their only chance.

"Father, the rebels will definitely fire artillery at night. Then the camp will be in chaos again, and our army will take the opportunity to escape." Duan Zheng said.

Duan Qing squinted his eyes, "I, Duan, can't be done with the King of Yunnan. Have we all said hello to our Duan's generals?"

Duan Zhengdao: "Don't worry, father, I have said hello. As soon as the time comes, I will immediately leave the back camp and enter the mountain!"

Duan Qing gritted his teeth and said, "That's what you do! Li Luo will probably win this battle. By then, even if I restored my country to Dali, the Khan will not object."

He suddenly showed a very distressed look, "We sent 100,000 troops, including 30,000 cavalry, but only 50,000 infantry left. We really shouldn't have come!"

Duan Zheng comforted, "Don't worry, sir. This little army is nothing. I have two or three million people in Dali. It's only a matter of pulling up a hundred thousand troops to drink a glass of water."

Duan Qing patted his son's shoulder comfortably, "Dalang, do it well, do it well."

What Duan’s father and son didn’t know was that the King of Yunnan and others were also discussing their father and son.

"King, the last general suspects that the Duan family and his son must have had a strange intention. They may have noticed that we are going to use their 50,000 infantry to cut off the rear." Li Ting said with a gloomy face.

The King of Yunnan is now unshaven and the reinforcements are not delayed. The Tang army's daily shelling has made his confidence plummet. He is very clear that this battle will be lost.

From the Duan father and son who had a strange intention and the slaves had a strange intention, they knew that it was already difficult to turn the battle forward.

Not long ago, he led an army of nearly 400,000, and how powerful it was. But in just a few days, this situation became.

Thinking back on the glory of conquering the Bagan Kingdom and thinking about the current situation, it is particularly difficult for the king of Yunnan to accept failure.

"Hmph, I know that something will happen to them sooner or later, the Duan father and son are fickle cowards." Although the King of Yunnan was a little decadent, his eyes were still sharp.

He knew very well what Duan and his son wanted to do.

"If they want to leave, let them go. Li Luo is so cunning, will he let them go? It's ridiculous. It's good that they leave, it just happens to attract some rebels, and it's more beneficial for our army to break through."

Yesen Timur no longer has hope for reinforcements to come to join.

In this battle, Li Luo set up a trap from the beginning to the end. Since he had divided his troops, how could he give his three troops a chance to join?

And he guessed that Li Luo would launch a general attack soon.

Boluo Huan has grown much older in just a few days. He twisted his thin braids, "King, Duan's 50,000 infantry soldiers, just let them go? Why not kill Duan's father and son and the main general, and directly control the Duan's military power?"

This method is not impossible. If Duan’s father and son were killed, Duan’s family would not dare to cause trouble. After all, Duan’s father and son were dead, and the Yuan court had accumulated power for many years, they would not dare to disobey without a leader.

The King of Yunnan smiled bitterly and said, "My Boluo Huan, I have been in Yunnan for many years and know Duan Qing better than you. Since this old dog has the intention of betraying his master, it will become a suspicious fox. He will not come to participate in the military discussion. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try."
