"Sonam Qunpei, you can say bluntly that now is the battle or harmony between our army and the Tang soldiers?" Seeing that he was talking long-winded, Tulubaihu couldn't help but frown.

Sonam Qunpei smiled awkwardly and replied: "Report to the Khan, in the opinion, our army can choose now, and fight to force peace."

"Turubahu's eyebrows jumped.

Sonam Qunpei nodded and continued, "Khan, everyone, I'm sorry to say it bluntly. In my opinion, if our army has no intention of fighting and surrenders to the Tang army, this result will undoubtedly be the worst. But if it resists hard, it will be impossible to escape the fate of destruction in the end. Therefore, we can only show our army's strength to the Tang army, give them an unexpected and severe blow, which will cause them to suffer great losses, so that we can understand that our army's bone is not so easy to chew. Then, after the Tang army was severely defeated, we will send envoys in time to negotiate with the Tang army, thus wielding the power of victory and forcing the Tang army to agree to stop the war. In the end, the two countries will demarcate the border and live in peace for a long time."

"Of course, this result is actually similar to the alliance under the city. Moreover, I, Wusizang, will definitely suffer a certain amount of territory losses and the troops will be greatly damaged, but it is much stronger than the destruction of the entire army, and the rule of the Khan will end there." When Sonam Qunpei said this, he couldn't help but sigh again.

After he finished speaking, there was an uproar below. Everyone whispered in groups of three or three, and the expressions on their faces were almost different.

Tulubaihu's expression was very ugly, but she just stroked her beard and didn't say anything.

At this time, the fifth Dalai Lama said, "King, everyone, I think Lord Sonam Qunpei is right."

"Oh? Why did you say this?" Tulubaihu glanced at him.

"King Khan, now the Tang army is in a big way, our army is in short supply and has no great control over the border areas. It will be a definite ending by the Tang army in the future. Not only the border crisis, but even the southern Tibet area is ready to move. The Bon sect and other forces that we had defeated before have retreated to southern Tibet, Nepal, main territory, Philosophy, Gate, Luo sect and other areas, colluding with the Red Cult, especially they have received strong support from the Han people. They are still fighting with us with strong strength due to the dangerous mountains and rivers. In this way, even if our army mobilizes all the troops to fight with the Han people, the Lhasa area will be empty and will be able to take advantage of it. If Lhasa is lost, the Khan will be unable to take care of the head and tail, and the advance and retreat are lost. At that time, I am afraid that before the Tang army arrives, the Khan's power will be completely disintegrated."

As soon as the words of the Fifth Dalai Lama finished, there were many discussions below.

The hidden danger mentioned by the Fifth Dalai Lama is indeed like a sharp knife, which has been pressing against their backs, making them afraid to be careless at all.

Entering the Tibetan area from Qinghai or Kang District is indeed very far away, with mountains and rivers that are dangerous, and it is indeed difficult to attack for a while. However, these rebels in southern Tibet are very close to Lhasa. Especially that army is dominated by Tibetans, not afraid of plateau climate or plateau reactions. In particular, they are extremely familiar with Tibetan areas and are very familiar with the defense of their own troops. If these rebels are given a chance to attack Lhasa, even if they cannot succeed for the moment, they will cause unbearable major losses.

While everyone was discussing, Gu Shihan always frowned. He stroked his thick beard and lowered his head to ponder for a while, but he felt indescribable sadness in his heart.

Alas, the current situation is that there are tigers in the front mountain and wolf in the back mountain. The self in the middle is really hard to rely on. There are enemies in front and back. It is not an exaggeration to describe the danger of the situation as if it is buried.

Just as Turubaihu was secretly sad, the eldest son Dayan Ezir stood up from the mat and shouted with a fierce look on his face: "I can't stand these rebellious guys for a long time! Since that's the case, Father, let's be the best, send troops first, destroy the rebels in southern Tibet, and then fight to the death with the Tang army!"

This eldest son, Dayan Ezier, is the eldest son of Gushikhan and the legitimate birth of his favorite princess.

Gushikhan had three princesses, the eldest princess, the Tuergut tribe, and the young princess was a Han Tian clan. After entering Tibet, she married other Tibetan noble women. These princesses gave birth to him ten sons. Among them, the eldest princess gave birth to four sons for him, and had the best result in his wishes. Therefore, she was most favored.

The eldest son, Dayan Ezier, was the oldest and always was his right-hand man during the war. Of course, he was also the heir he valued the most. Every time he fought, Gushikhan would bring this powerful eldest son and let other sons stay in Lhasa.

In addition to the youngest tenth son, who was still young, Gushikhan's other nine sons were already adults. According to Mongolian tradition, they had long divided their tribal populations, each with their own army, and each with a fiefdom.

Among these sons, Dayan Ezir, the eldest son and heir, has the largest number of troops, and his power is beyond the reach of other princes.

Seeing Gu Shihan's heir making harsh words here, everyone was talking in a tide, Tulubaihu frowned even more.

The fifth Dalai Lama shook his head and sighed: "The eldest prince is eager to fight. It is understandable that these rebel bandits have been rooted in southern Tibet for a long time. They have been firm in their foundation and can be eliminated easily for a while. If they use impulsively, they are afraid that the effect will be counterproductive."

After the fifth generation finished speaking, Sonam Qunpei also quickly said, "The holy monk is right. The rebels in southern Tibet have been entrenched for a long time and are indeed difficult to eliminate. What's more, the Tang army, who entered the country and attacked the city and were determined to seize the entire territory, is our biggest concern. In the final analysis, the rebels in southern Tibet are still a disease of destruction. If we can really win a battle in one fell swoop and force the Tang army to sign a peace agreement, then we will turn around and deal with them with the power of victory, wouldn't we have a greater chance of winning and calmer?"

Finally, he raised his head, but asked with a worried look on his face: "Sonam Qunpei, how should you do this in detail?"

Seeing that Tulubaihu seemed to be moved by himself, Sonam Qunpei said anxiously: "King, at the moment, the border is critical, and it is urgent to fight a big victory to establish the power of our army, to defeat the arrogance of the Tang army, and to shock the sluts in the south. In the following view, it is better for our army to mobilize 100,000 elite troops and horses, in the area of ​​Naqu to the north, to have a raid battle with the Tang army's Eastern Route Army, and catch one of them off guard. We will definitely defeat the enemy and win in one fell swoop!"

"Say it." Tulubaihu's eyes lit up.

"King Khan, now the Tang army's Eastern Route Army has occupied all the land in the north of the Barsa Tonglamu Mountain in Uszang. Now the entire army has just crossed the steep Barsa Tonglamu Mountain and is preparing to attack Naqu City next. At this time, it is a great opportunity to defeat the Tang army."

"Oh? Is it?"

"King, think about it, the Tang army came to the road, and the logistics was weak. Their soldiers were all from the Central Plains, or some overseas vassal states, and they were hard to get used to the environment and climate that I was used to. And I, Wusizang, is the best plateau in the world and can be the best defensive place. Isn't it a great chance of winning if I wait for work and have the home court?"

"But, in this case, what if the Tang army seized Naqu City before our army arrived?" The person who spoke was a son of Tulubaihu, and hesitated: "If the Tang army captured Naqu first, it would be enough to defend the city. Our army came from afar and suddenly stood under the strong city, I am afraid that it would not be the opponent of the Tang army."

Sonam Qunpei was stunned when he heard this. He paused for a moment and then said hurriedly: "Your Highness the Prince is too worried. I think the Tang army has fought hard for a while and has just crossed the Tunglamu Mountain of Barcelona. The soldiers must be very tired. As soon as they crossed the mountain, their heavy firearms and food supplies must be behind them and cannot be transported there. Then this lonely army in front of them has low morale and its equipment must be very weak, so they are absolutely unable to attack Naqu City immediately. They have to rest outside Naqu City for a period of time, waiting for the reserved weapons, money and food to follow before they can continue to attack. In this way, it is a great opportunity for our army to launch a surprise attack on it. Such a good opportunity can be easily missed."

Sonam Qunpei's words suddenly made everyone talk again, but he saw that many people had a look of approval on their faces, and even Gu Shihan Tulubaihu nodded slightly.

Sonam Qunpei's words make sense.

The difficulty of fighting on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is probably far more than ten thousand times more difficult than fighting in the Central Plains. The Tang army from the Central Plains and overseas will not be able to get used to such plateau combat in a short period of time. However, due to the orders of generals and the power of killing, they had to bite the bullet and attack.

After they fought hard and finally crossed the natural danger of Barcelona Tonglamu Mountain, not only did their soldiers suffer much, but they were afraid that they would have less strength to move forward, and they did not have heavy firearms to help, and they also had constant food and supplies. Such a lonely army with low morale was simply the best target for their own actions.

If he continues to defend the Lhasa area and misses such a good opportunity to attack, then the Tang army will finish resting. After the firearms and food are delivered, Bi will take down the heavy city Naqu in this way in one fell swoop. There is no more heavy town to defend in the north of Lhasa. It is simply hanging a sword that can be cut down at any time on his head. At that time, I am afraid that Gu Shihan will really end up being the end.

If you miss such a good opportunity easily, you will really regret it.

Thinking of this, Tulubaihu's expression was ferocious, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said sternly: "Sonam Qunpei's words are reasonable. Now the Tang army has just passed through the Tonglamu Mountain of Barcelona, ​​and the soldiers are tired from afar, and the firearms and food are still behind. It is indeed a great opportunity to attack! The order of the Khan was passed on to the Khan, and he immediately dispatched 100,000 elite troops, and the Khan will personally lead the attack."

"Father Khan, my son is willing to follow my father Khan to attack the Tang army! In addition, more than 20,000 troops under my command have all gathered. At any time, you can follow the orders of your father Khan and attack the invading Tang army!" The eldest son Dayan Eqier made a loud statement, looking passionate.

Turubai was very satisfied with his statement. He nodded to Dayan Ezir with approval, then looked at his fifth son Ileduzi and his sixth son Dorji, and said, "Ileduzi and Dorji obeyed the order."

"My son is here!"

Turubaihu said in a deep voice: "You two, listen. After I leave, you two will protect Lhasa and strictly prevent the rebels in Tibet from taking the opportunity to attack. But you should also pay attention that if the rebels come to attack, you should not be angry and attack the rebels without authorization, so as not to fall into traps and tricks, and even Lhasa will be in trouble. You must remember that you can just defend Lhasa. Everything will be discussed when Father Khan comes back from the front."

"The son-in-law has written down!" Ileduzi and Dorji responded in unison.

Tulubaihu nodded and said to the Fifth Dalai Lama and Sonam Qunpei: "This time, my Khan will lead the troops to go, and the two children may have some inappropriate circumstances in the various places in Lhasa. I hope you will take care of them to avoid making mistakes."

The Fifth Dalai Lama and Sonam Qunpei bowed together: "Don't worry, Khan, we will do our best to assist the two princes."

After the negotiation, five days later, Tulubaihu gathered 100,000 troops and immediately led his troops north with his eldest son Dayan Eqier and rushed to Nagqu.

Although the journey from Lhasa to Nagqu was long and rugged, Turubaihu and his eldest son Dayan Ezier were familiar with the local road conditions. Therefore, they led their troops all the way forward, and ten days later, they arrived at the city of Nagqu.

Karma, the leader of Naqu City, had less than 3,000 soldiers and horses. He was originally anxious in Naqu City. When he heard that Gu Shihan had led 100,000 troops to aid Naqu City, he was overjoyed and immediately went out to greet him. Then, after welcoming Tulubaihu and others into the city, he tried his best to reward the army in order to win his favor.

Seeing this local leader who had always been dissatisfied with him in the past, Tulubaihu was very happy to be so respectful to him. Therefore, while drinking and hearing the heat, he also did not correct him in the past. Instead, he said a lot of words of comfort. For a moment, the guest and host were very harmonious.

After the banquet, although Tulubaihu drank a lot, his mind was still quite clear. He immediately asked the head man Karma about the current situation of the Tang army.

Karma also flushed with a flush on his face, but when Gu Shihan asked a question, he was drunk and immediately replied: "Report to the Great Khan, the traces of the Tang army were discovered about a few days ago. The number is not large, and it is estimated that only a few thousand people are all vanguards, and they are all camping about ten miles north of Naqu City. From the following point of view, they must be waiting for the arrival of the large troops behind and the firearms and food to be delivered before launching a fierce attack on our Naqu City. If the Tang army acts like this, our Naqu City will be in a worrying situation.

Come, I plan to lead the troops out of the city while they are not stable, and give them a violent attack. However, there are only more than 3,000 soldiers in my Naqu City, which is similar to those of the Tang army, so I dare not move lightly. But now that the Khan commands so many troops, our strength advantage can be far beyond the vanguard of the Tang army. How can we launch a fierce raid on the Tang army while their troops are not stable, and we can definitely destroy them in one fell swoop, so that the flag can win, and sweep away the declining trend of Wusizang's consecutive defeats."
