Chapter 1689 What else do you have to say?
"Zhao Chen, do you really plan to launch a pincer attack on the 100,000 Tubo defenders from west of Yanmen Pavilion?" Niu Jinda asked immediately as soon as Li Jing's personal soldiers left.
Although launching a pincer attack on Tubo’s 100,000 troops is indeed likely to directly defeat the confidence of the Tubo army, this is not a completely absolute matter.
The 50,000 Tang reinforcements led by Li Jing confronted Tubo's 100,000 troops. He had not revealed any signs of defeat for so long, and it was obvious that Tubo could not easily succeed.
Since that is the case, they were the second batch of Tang reinforcements, so they should go directly past Yanmen Pavilion and march towards the capital of Gaochang State.
You should know that there are rebellions in Gaochang. Niu Jinda felt that the rebellion within Gaochang should be resolved first, and then the troops from Gaochang State were gathered to completely defeat the Tubo army of Songtsen cadres.
This also prevents the Tang army from going directly with the Tubo army, which can reduce the casualties of a large number of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, it is the safest way to first resolve the rebellion in Gaochang.
But Niu Jinda had something that he couldn't understand. He was as smart as Li Jing and Zhao Chen, so why didn't he think of this?
Zhao Chenping retreated from the left and right, leaving only Niu Jinda.
"Uncle Niu's method is indeed good, but if we directly assist Gaochang in extermination of the rebellion, Songtsen Gampo will definitely withdraw his troops directly when he sees that he can't take advantage."
"Tubo withdraws troops, this is not the result we want." Zhao Chen said slowly.
"Don't want to see Tubo withdraw his troops?" Niu Jinda's expression changed, and then suddenly reacted: "Zhao Chen, do you mean to take this opportunity to completely destroy Tubo together?"
Zhao Chen nodded slowly, with a smile on his face.
After seeing Li Ruoshuang's reluctance to leave, Zhao Chen had already decided that this was his last expedition for the Tang Dynasty.
But if Tubo is not taken down, once Tubo starts war again, who knows what excuses the emperor will find to convince himself?
Therefore, Zhao Chen decided to wipe out Tubo this time.
Li Jing was obviously the same as his own. It was not the first time Tubo took action against the Tang Dynasty. The repeated tolerance would only make him more arrogant.
Knowing that Zhao Chen meant this, Niu Jinda nodded slightly.
If Tubo can be destroyed directly together, it would be the best, but Tubo has 200,000 troops after all, and unless he is unprepared, it is extremely difficult.
"What do you plan to do? Luo Xi, the Tubo general west of Yanmen Pavilion, is not a simple person. Songtsen cadres value him very much, so they only take important tasks for him." Niu Jinda reminded Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen had heard of the name Luo Xi. He unified the various tribes of Tubo with Songzan cadres. He was good at leading troops and was also valued by Songzan cadres.
But no matter how powerful Losi is, every enemy that stands in front of him will be destroyed.
"Our army's actions cannot be hidden, so I decided to send 30,000 troops to the capital of Gaochang. The momentum is to be grand, and the Tubo army must know that our army has gone to the capital of Gaochang..."
"Are you going to lead 20,000 troops to surround them with 100,000 troops?"
"How can this be done?" Niu Jinda instantly understood Zhao Chen's plan.
Let 30,000 Tang reinforcements Yangzhuang go to the capital of Gaochang to rescue and attract the enemy's attention.
Zhao Chen himself led the remaining 20,000 troops to the west of Yanmen Ting and attacked Li Jing's army with 100,000 Tubo's army.
But Zhao Chen only has 20,000 troops. Once the army breaks through, he discovers this plan, Luo Xi is likely to lead the army to attack Zhao Chen directly.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were brave and good at fighting, but if they faced several times their enemy, no one could guarantee that Zhao Chen would escape safely.
Even if Li Jing leads his army to rescue him at that time, he will likely be blocked by the 100,000 Tubo army.
This is really too dangerous.
"There is nothing wrong. Since you have arrived at the battlefield, you must be prepared to die in battle." Zhao Chen's face was calm.
But it sounds different in Niu Jinda's ears.
Zhao Chen is the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty and will be the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future. There is even a 90% chance of ascending the throne to the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
How could Zhao Chen do such a dangerous thing?
"Then Zhao Chen, you go to Gaochang Capital, I will take people to attack!" Niu Jinda said firmly with his eyes.
It cannot put Zhao Chen in such a crisis.
Going to Gaochang is safer after all.
"Uncle Niu, I've made a decision." Zhao Chen smiled.
He had not thought about how to face Wu Xu, because when he was about to come out, the emperor did not tell him what he would do about Wu Xu in the future.
This is why Zhao Chen is unwilling to see Wu Xu now.
"But..." Niu Jinda wanted to persuade him again, but Zhao Chen waved his hand to stop him.
Niu Jinda's face was full of worry, and Zhao Chen brought 20,000 troops to attack Luo Xi's 100,000 troops.
This is really too risky.
...
Niu Jin could not resist Zhao Chen when he reached the bottom, and led 30,000 Tang reinforcements to attack the capital of Gaochang.
The momentum is so great and the momentum is so grand that others are afraid that the Tang reinforcements are about to go to the capital of Gaochang.
Three days later, Luo Xi, the Tubo general of Yanmen Tingyi, received information, and Zhao Chen, the King of Han of the Tang Dynasty, was leading the second batch of reinforcements to the capital of Gaochang.
Losi, who received the information, was not very happy, but instead thought it was an extremely normal phenomenon.
Compared with his 100,000 Tubo army, the rebels of Gaochang Kingdom seem extremely weak.
If it were me, I would definitely have dealt with the Gaochang rebels first.
But the Tang reinforcements didn't know that the so-called Gaochang rebels were actually not only ten thousand.
Their earthen pot came this time, not only 200,000, but a total of 250,000 people.
The 50,000 troops were hidden inside the rebels in Gaochang State.
As long as the Tang Dynasty reinforcements dare to come, what is waiting for them will be a blow.
"General, Zhao Chen is extremely cunning. Should we be careful? Maybe he did not go to Gaochang Capital, but was preparing to lead the army to attack our 100,000 troops!" A strategist beside Luo Xi whispered.
When Losi heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
The second batch of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty rushed towards Gaochang. Even if Zhao Chen hid something, how many troops could he hide?
Twenty thousand or thirty thousand?
Even if he has 40,000 troops, with his current defensive power here, Zhao Chen's army will never come back.
Luo Xi really wanted to meet the so-called Han King of the Tang Dynasty for a while to see if he was as powerful as the legendary one.
"Don't worry, my 100,000 Tubo army is stationed here. Li Jing is so powerful, and he really dares not advance now."
"A hundred thousand troops can drown Zhao Chen even if one person spits!" Luo Xi said slowly, disdain flashed across his face.
