The two have different thoughts, but the purpose is the same: to find out the location of "Wang Zhuang's Army" and make it difficult to use the "surprise army" strategy. As long as the Tang Army takes precautions against the arrangement and confronts them head-on, the two of them can
Everyone believed that "Wang Zhuangjun" had no chance of winning.
No matter how elite and brave the "Wang Zhuang Army" is, even if it is one against ten, if it is unable to complete certain strategic tasks and relies solely on bravery, it will end in the end of the entire army being annihilated. It is impossible to reverse the situation and turn the situation around.
Defeat becomes victory.
Changsun Chong suppressed the excitement in his heart and warned: "Your Majesty, you should continue to investigate, and you must fully understand the reality of 'Wang Zhuangjun'. Since your Majesty has handed over 'Wang Zhuangjun' to the control of Yuan Nanjian, what is his intention?"
Now that it is clear, the prince must not take any chances anymore. I will immediately write to my father to inform him of this matter and report it to Your Majesty. Your Majesty has always been magnanimous and will certainly not hesitate to reward you. I hope that the prince will continue to work hard, and together we will make unparalleled achievements.
You get what you want.”
If Mr. Yuan had felt a little guilty before for secretly conspiring with Zhang Sun Chong to betray Pingrang City's defense, now he really doesn't feel it at all.
Since his father wants to depose him and make his second brother the heir apparent, without caring about his own life or death, why should he care about the so-called loyalty and filial piety?
If you want me to die, I can't just kill you at your neck, right?
He immediately nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dalang. That bastard Yuan Nanjian is brave, foolhardy, and extremely stupid. We will definitely be able to find out the true and false nature of 'Wang Zhuangjun' from him."
Changsun Chong: "..."
They're all pretty stupid.
…
Boy Yuan vowed that he would be able to find out the true identity of "Wang Zhuangjun", and then he said goodbye and left.
Changsun Chong sat there and meditated for a long time. After drinking the tea, he stood up and went to the wall on one side to look at the simple defense map of Pingrang City and shook his head.
This map was drawn by talented people from the Goguryeo Dynasty organized by Yeon Gaesumun. However, compared with the Pyeongrangseong map that his father gave him, the clarity, accuracy, and proportion conversion are not even the slightest bit worse.
Who would have thought that the map of Pingrang City drawn by the Tang army was better than that drawn by Goguryeo itself?
All military maps of the Tang Dynasty came from the Yamen of the Ministry of War and were led by Fang Jun a few years ago. Today, they have long become the unified standard for domestic maps of the Tang Dynasty.
From this point of view, Fang Jun is indeed outstanding in talent and has far-reaching vision.
But the more this happened, the more the jealousy in Changsun Chong's heart became as blazing as fire, and it was difficult to calm down...
Take a deep breath and focus your attention on the map in front of you.
Peony Peak is located outside the east city of Pingrang City. The water comes from the east and is blocked by the mountains. It turns to the south, is blocked by the mountains to the south, and then turns to the west. Here it outlines a huge turning point, and then turns to the west.
Rushing all the way westward into the sea.
Pingrang City was built on this huge turning point. The city was originally built to the north of the Xishui River. Later, it gradually became prosperous and the population increased. A new city was built on the south bank of the Xishui River, sandwiching the Xishui River in the middle.
Today, due to the expansion of the city, Peony Peak is already located in the city. The mountains are undulating and verdant, resembling a blooming peony, hence the name. There are many kinds of trees on the mountain, including pine, five-leaf pine, linden, apricot, and mountain cherry.
When all kinds of trees become forests, every spring, the mountains and hillsides are covered with flowers of various colors, which is so beautiful that it is the most beautiful scenery in Pingrang City.
When Pingrang City was first built, Yimi Platform was built on Mudan Peak as a platform for generals.
The mountains are dotted with fortresses and mountain cities, which are usually where troops are stationed. It is natural that Yeon Gaesomun would hide the "Wang Zhuang Army" among them.
After carefully looking at the terrain near Mudan Peak, Changsun Chongcai returned to his desk and wrote a superstitious letter, which he handed to his close confidants and ordered them to rush to the Tang Army's camp and hand it over to his father.
Although the matter of "peace negotiation" is already slim, and huge achievements have passed by, if the location of "Wang Zhuangjun" can be found out, so that the Tang army can be prepared and make targeted deployments, it will naturally be a great achievement.

*****
Qinghai Lake.
It is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, but it enters late autumn earlier than Liaodong.
The vast lake is like a huge gem. The autumn wind blows by, water birds fly and the blue waves ripple.
The broad grassland by the lake stretches to the sky like a blanket. The grass leaves are withered and yellow, and the world between heaven and earth is desolate.
Lu Dongzan was riding on a horse, holding the reins in one hand and holding the handle of the scimitar at his waist with the other. He looked at the warriors fighting in front of him with his sunken eyes. His sharp eyes were like those of an eagle, as if he wanted to fly across the northern sky.
The majestic Qilian Mountains stand there.
Not long after the Battle of Da Dou Bugu ended, the news reached Lu Dongzan's ears.
Although he knew that the Tang army was unparalleled in strength and the power of its firearms was unrivaled, he never expected that the Tang army was so powerful.
The expected hard battle never happened. The 70,000 to 80,000 Tuyuhun cavalry that crossed Qinghai and ravaged Hexi were like the rushing Brahmaputra River hitting the rocks between the valleys. In addition to the frightening roar and shock, they could only splash a bunch of
Bubbles, shattered to pieces.
Lu Dongzan understood that Tuyuhun was finished.
After twenty years of recuperation, all the strength was destroyed in just one day. The 20,000 Tang troops were like copper and iron walls blocking the entrance of the valley during the Great Battle. Tuyuhun's troops were several times that of the enemy, but they could not even take a step into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. This kind of two sides
The disparity in strength made the Tuyuhun people feel even more desperate than the tens of thousands of soldiers killed in battle.
Right now, Guanzhong is empty. Only half of the Youtun Guards in Hexi Province are garrisoned by 20,000 people, and Tuyuhun is still unable to break through. If the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition is over and all the millions of troops return to Guanzhong, how can Tuyuhun still have any room to struggle?
There is only one way to defeat.
Now that the defeat of Tuyuhun has been determined, Tubo will never allow Qinghai Lake to fall into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, forming a favorable situation with its back to Qilian and facing the plateau, posing a huge threat to Tubo.
Therefore, Lu Dongzan decisively ordered that all the family troops came out to occupy Qinghai Lake.
Since Zanpu has decided to be wary of the Gar family, the Gar family can only follow the trend and occupy the Qinghai Lake area first, considering it the foundation of the family, and rest and accumulate strength here before making further calculations.
The soldiers of the Gar family rushed into Qinghai Lake like wolves and tigers. Just as the Tyuhun cavalry, who had been defeated in Dadou Bagou, returned one after another from various passes in the Qilian Mountains. On one side, they were ready to attack, watching with eager eyes, and on the other side, they were serious.
When he was defeated and his morale was low, he was naturally defeated by the soldiers of the Gar family.
The Tuyuhun cavalry fought back under Nuohebo's organization, but they were unable to defeat others and were defeated again and again.
The rustling autumn wind blew Lu Dongzan's beard under his chin, making his gaze become more profound. In the distance, a scout on horseback rushed towards him. When he got close, he dismounted, knelt down on one knee and loudly reported: "For the record, the master of the family, Tuyuhun has been defeated."
, Nuohebo has been captured alive by us!"
Lu Dongzan didn't speak for a while.
The autumn wind is bleak, the sky is high and the clouds are pale, and the pale yellow grassland stretches straight to the sky.
Tuyuhun, which once roamed this land of abundant water and grass for three hundred years, will come to an end today.
The change of dynasties and the rise and fall of ethnic groups are as natural and unstoppable as the rotation of the four seasons.
Today may be the time for the Gar family to be revitalized, but the time for decline and destruction will not be far away.
Several sons stood behind him. The eldest son Zan Xiruo took the reins of the horse and took a step forward. He ordered: "Temporarily take Nuohebo into custody, gather the soldiers, and launch a pursuit of the defeated Tuyuhun people. Qinghai Lake has a radius of 300 meters."
No more Tuyuhun people are allowed within this territory!"
"Here!"
The scout received the order, got up, jumped on his horse, and galloped away into the distance.
Zan Xiruo looked at Lu Dongzan, who was still born, and said excitedly: "Father! Tuyuhun has been defeated, and Qinghai Lake has become the private property of the Gar family from now on!"
Since ancient times, Qinghai Lake has been a battleground for tribes in the Western Regions. It has rich water and grass, the best pasture in the world, and can raise countless livestock. It is the dream place of the Hu people. Moreover, Qinghai Lake is full of salt water.
It is rich in lake salt, which is indispensable for the survival of all barbarian people. Mastering Qinghai Lake not only solves the tribe's salt shortage problem, but also uses it as a strategic material to control countless tribes for their own use, easily achieving
The purpose of dominating one party.
By owning Qinghai Lake, the Gar family has a foundation on which to build its foundation and then develop and grow.
Lu Dongzan came back to his senses and glanced at his eldest son. There was no trace of smile on his cold face. Instead, he snorted and frowned: "You are so proud! Have you forgotten what your father told you before? You are still thinking about danger in Ju'an."
, not to mention that it’s not a safe place at all right now, to be so excited is stupid!”
