? Li Ke's army left Liangzhou City and divided into three groups. Xue Rengui led 20,000 Turkic cavalry to advance to the left, Zheyu led 20,000 ghost-faced cavalry to advance to the right, Li Ke personally led 30,000 heavy cavalry camps in the central army, 20,000 Youzhou Iron Cavalry and 10,000 wolf cavalry camps in the middle, approaching Lu Dongzan's 200,000 army in the middle.

Lu Dongzan, who had marched for 300 miles in five days, stationed the camp at the foot of Fenghuang Mountain, and waited for the scout to report the movements of the Tang army in Liangzhou City. After hearing that Li Ke's army had left the city, the troops divided into three groups and rushed towards his three groups. Lu Dongzan was unable to figure out what Li Ke's purpose was.

When I was in Chang'an, after seeing Li Ke's power, Lu Dongzan collected all the information about Li Ke. I didn't know if I didn't collect it, but it scared Lu Dongzan. There were a lot of news about the Northern King Li Ke in Chang'an City, basically all of them positive news. The people spread the arduous journey of the Northern King's rise step by step in the past nine years.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan found out everything about Li Ke in Chang'an, and the explanation He Fuzhen gave him when he was in the alliance with Tuyuhun, as well as his experience in Chang'an. Lu Dongzan realized that he had made a fatal mistake, which was to over-hide his wisdom and whitewash his arrogance and arrogance.

So, after weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to return to Tubo immediately. Because he knew very well that if he stayed in Chang'an again, Li Ke might have killed him on a whim.

So, this time he heard that the Tang Dynasty had changed its marching commander and Li Ke from the north to Liangzhou, so he voluntarily volunteered to be the general of the two armies this time. First, he was afraid that with Li Ke's wisdom, others would not be able to fight against the Tang army. Second, he also wanted to meet Li Ke to see if he was as wise as the people of Chang'an and as powerful as Murong Shun, Fu Zhen and others said.

Therefore, when Lu Dongzan heard the scout report that Li Ke's army was divided into three groups, he did not dare to march easily, but ordered the army to continue camping at the foot of Phoenix Mountain and wait for Li Ke's next actions.

"Grandmaster, the number of Tang soldiers is less than that of us, and the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is not as strong as ours. We shouldn't be so timid!" said a tall general in the Tubo army.

"General Sangdong, do you know how many ten thousand troops were there in the overlord of the grasslands, the Turkic Khan Jieli? How powerful was the Turkic cavalry fighting? But did they still annihilate the Tang Dynasty? Among the commanders who led the Tang army was Li Ke." Lu Dongzan explained to Sangdong, "Li Ke not only used troops like a god. Moreover, he had four iron guards around him, and we had to guard against them. The first was the black-clothed eagle guard who competed with our Tubo elite cavalry when I went to Chang'an and wiped out our thousand warriors. The second was the wolf cavalry camp beside him. I am not sure how many people are, but this cavalry was the one who ran long distances and passed through the Turkic army.

We cannot underestimate the elite cavalry that attacked the Yinshan Holy Land with layers of protection. The third is his heavy cavalry camp. All the soldiers and horses of this cavalry were wrapped in heavy armor. The knights held long spears and had great lethality. It was this cavalry that defeated the army of the Turkic Jieli Khan; the fourth cavalry was even more strange. They were black-clad black armor and wearing bronze masks. They were like dead soldiers on the battlefield. They only wanted to kill the enemy without any consequences. The opponents who fought with them had no survivors! Moreover, I heard that this cavalry had a heavy oath. This oath maintained their loyalty to Li Ke, and we must not take it lightly!"

The reason why Lu Dongzan explained so much to Sang Dong was because Sang Dong's general commander of Tubo was brave and good at fighting, and he made great achievements in the development and growth of Tubo. Moreover, he was also Songtsen Gampo's cousin.

"Da Xiang, how do you know so much?" Sang Dong was the first time he heard about it. He was quite curious about what kind of person Li Ke was, so he wanted Lu Dongzan to ask.

"This is what the Tang people in Chang'an City said!" Lu Dongzan said lightly, "It can be seen that Li Ke has a high position in the minds of the Tang people!"

"That's how Li Ke is still a warrior, hahaha, then I, Sang Dong, have to meet him well!" Sang Dong said happily. For a powerful general like him, what he likes is fighting with the warriors.

"It's a pity that you don't have such an opportunity. Li Ke has many good generals, and all his martial arts are good. It's not his turn to fight. Besides, he always has two thousand eagle guards to protect him, and the enemy is not close at all." Lu Dongzan said lightly, "This makes him not even need to wear armor when commanding the war!"

"Oh! What a pity!" Sang Dong sighed.

"General Sangdong, there is nothing to be regrettable! There is nothing to be happy to defeat Li Ke. If you defeat the powerful Tang Dynasty and expand your territory for Tubo, you can ask the Tang people for more pig iron, salt and food, which is what you are going to do now!" Lu Dongzan said solemnly to Sangdong.

"Don't worry, Sang Dong will definitely obey your order!" Sang Dong said to Lu Dongzan.

"Well! Then you order the army to continue camping, let's wait and see what's going on!" Lu Dongzan ordered.

"Yes!" Sang Dong agreed and took big steps to leave the handsome account.

"Li Ke! Li Ke, what do you want to do?" Lu Dongzan pondered alone in the big tent.

Because, with more knowledge about Li Ke, even the guards of his personal guards around him, Lu Dongzan did not dare to march rashly even if there were 200,000 Tubo and Tuyuhun cavalry. Moreover, Lu Dongzan knew very well that 50,000 of his 200,000 troops were Tuyuhun cavalry, and the commander of Tuyuhun Prince Murong Shun had a deep hatred with Li Ke. Therefore, he was afraid that Murong Shun would hear that Li Ke's troops were divided into three groups and personally led the army to his 200,000 troops. Murong Shun was eager to take revenge and would send troops rashly. Therefore, he ordered camp and wait and see what happened.

In fact, when he was tactics, he divided the 400,000 troops into three groups, with 100,000 troops on the left and 200,000 troops on the middle. Li Ke would definitely choose the weakest breakthrough, so that he could unite all the way to form a siege against Li Ke's army.

Now, when he heard the scout report on Li Ke's army's movements, he clearly realized his wrong tactics, that is, Li Ke was not Li Ji, the chief general of the Tang army, and he could not underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.

At this time, Li Ke, who had already left Liangzhou and entered Tuyuhun, sat upright on the horse's back and listened quietly to the scout's report.

"Lu Dongzan set up a camp on the spot?" Li Ke said in confusion, "The 200,000 army is still so timid. Is Lu Dongzan concerned about the army's military peak? Or is there another plan?"

"Your Highness, maybe Lu Dongzan is also exploring our reality!" Xu Jingzong replied, "After all, your plan to send troops disrupted his deployment!"

"Yeah, it's very likely!" Li Ke said lightly, "Then let's take the trick?"

"Go to the point!" Xu Jingzong said with a smile.

Immediately, he ordered, "I ordered the army to camp on the spot and rest for two hours!"

"No" King Zhongchang received his order and left.

"Lu Dongzan is not in a hurry, we are not in a hurry!" Li Ke smiled, "This time Lu Dongzan is in charge of 200,000 elite troops in charge of the central army. I don't want to miss this opportunity! If this time, if this elite army of Tubo is not annihilated and he is allowed to escape to the hinterland of Tubo, the Tubo cavalry will show their innate advantages with the unique climatic conditions and terrain of the northwest plateau. At that time, it will be difficult for us to deal with Lu Dongzan!"

"Yes! I have read a lot of information about the hinterland of Tubo during this period and found that the northwest plateau is dry and the air is thin. Many of our soldiers are not adapted to the environment wherever they will lose their combat effectiveness due to climate problems!" Xu Jingzong said worriedly, "The Tubo cavalry has lived in that area all year round, and they have become accustomed to that environment. Therefore, as long as Lu Dongzan's army retreats to the hinterland of Tubo, it will be very unfavorable to us!"

"Lu Dongzan wants to delay time with us, so we will delay time with him. It would be better if Du Junchuo dealt with the army in northern Tuyuhun. In this way, Du Junchuo's leadership of the army south will join forces with Zheyu to annihilate the 100,000 Tuyuhun cavalry on our right!" Li Ke smiled faintly, and he seemed very relaxed when he spoke. He did not look like tens of thousands of cavalry facing 200,000 enemy elite cavalry. He seemed to delay the sand table in a big tent, and he said it very lightly.

If others hear these words, they will think that Li Ke is arrogant and arrogant. But Xu Jingzong knew that this was not Li Ke's arrogance, arrogance and arrogance, but his self-confidence and confidence that has been trained on the battlefield for a long time.
