Datang: The prince of salted fish was overheard by Li Er

Li You's trust seemed to give Li Chengqian great affirmation, he said excitedly: "I knew there were still people who believed in me in Chang'an."

"Why don't you go back to Beijing this time, my brother, I will ask my father to make you a prime minister, so stay in Chang'an and help me!"

As soon as these words came out, Li You's head shook like a rattle: "Your Highness, this is not acceptable, there is still a lot of trouble in Qizhou!"

"Originally, I was going back in the next few days. Didn't I just stay for a few more days after hearing the news of Zao'er's expedition?"

In the end, Li Chengqian failed to persuade Li You to stay in the capital as an official.

However, under Li Chengqian's hard work, Li You still promised him to stay in Chang'an until Li Chuang returned to court.

However, after receiving the order, Li Chuang was overjoyed, and immediately led the Hexi army to the battlefield like wild horses running wild.

For such a sudden Tang army, Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo was not too concerned at first.

In his view, the Shu army of 5 people was surrounded by his 20 people, and Hou Junji's 10,000+ army was held back by his small army, an unknown army with only 2 people Can't change the situation at all.

And in Songtsan Gampo's view, according to the current marching speed of the Tang army, altitude sickness alone can make them completely lose their combat effectiveness.

After confirming that Li Chuang's troops came directly to reinforce Li Ke's Shu army, Songtsan Gampo also decisively slowed down the pace of attacking the Shu army. Set up a siege net and eat up the support army of Datang first.

The change of Songtsan Gampo made Li Ke, who was trapped in it, also discover the abnormality.

After this period of rest and recuperation, Li Ke's body has also recovered a lot. Although he is still a little weak, at least he will not faint at any time.

However, although Li Ke's reply greatly improved the morale of the Shu army, the situation is still not optimistic.

One of the biggest problems is that after the last carrier pigeon never returned, the Shu army has lost contact with the outside world.

So now, facing the changes in the Tubo army's offensive, Li You can only rely on guesswork.

"Everyone, the Tubo army slowed down their attack on us, but they did not give up the siege. What do you think?"

Although Li Ke already had bad thoughts, he still needed to confirm with the generals again.

Several military advisers naturally understood Li Ke's meaning, and after some calculations, they also guessed the intention of the Tubo army to encircle and fight for aid.

However, despite the results, Li Ke is still at a loss.

In his opinion, if Hou Junji came to the rescue, the Tubo army would either speed up their attack or retreat immediately. It would definitely not be like this now.

Judging from the current situation, it must be a small force, but Li Ke couldn't figure out why it was a small force.

However, at this time one of his military advisers came up with a terrible idea: "My lord, will the Hou Jun assembly really sell us out!"

"If I were Hou Junji, I would definitely take this opportunity to attack Lhasa."

"But if he completely ignores us, it will be difficult for him to explain to His Majesty when he returns to Chang'an, so Hou Junji sent a partial teacher to come over to die..."

As soon as these words came out, all the generals, including Li Ke, were furious for a while.

"Hou Junji, if we can go back alive this time, we must look after you!"

"My lord, why don't we break through!"

"Although there are 20 people in Tubo, we are more elite. If we break through by force, they will not be able to stop us!"

In fact, this question has been raised constantly in the recent military conference room.

But this time there were only 5 cavalry out of the [-] Shu army. If they chose to break through, most of the [-] cavalry could escape, but it is very likely that none of the remaining [-] infantry would be spared.

These people were all trained by Li Ke himself, and Li Ke was naturally reluctant to let them die in vain.

Now facing another proposal from his subordinates, Li Ke chose to refuse again.

Today, Li Ke has also thought about the current situation clearly. The biggest reason why he is in such a situation now is because of his attempt to the throne.

If it weren't for my urgency to be righteous, what happened today would not have happened.

But now, after knowing that he made a big mistake, the idea of ​​dying for the country has sprouted in Li Ke's heart.

"Everyone, it is my Li Ke's responsibility to let everyone fall into this place. First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone here."

"But I want to say that as a man of Datang, he naturally has to have some blood."

"The reinforcements from outside came because of us, so naturally we can't just watch them die in vain."

"So, this king has decided that once the battle outside starts, the Shu army will charge with all its strength. Even if we die, we will bring a few Tibetans with us."

"This king will fight with everyone to the end!"

"Even if we all die here, it won't make things easier for the Tubo army."

"Isn't it the 20 Tubo army, maybe it's not enough for us to kill!"

At this moment, Li Ke's determination aroused the pride in the hearts of all the soldiers of the Shu army. They died for the Tang Dynasty, and all the soldiers were fearless.

Besides, Li Chuang and the Hexi Army, under the deliberate release of Songtsan Gampo, they did not spend much effort to go deep into the hinterland of Tubo.

However, the ease along the way did not let Li Chuang, who was playing for the first time, relax his vigilance.

"Cousin, what do you think we will do when we drive straight into Tibet?"

Because Wang Xuance's younger sister Nishang married Yin Concubine's younger brother Yin Hongzhi, Li Chuang and Wang Xuance had such a thin relationship.

This time, Wang Xuance received orders from Li You, Concubine Yin and Nishang, so he was naturally very careful.

After thinking for a while, he said: "When we first entered Tubo, there were Tubo troops trying to stop us, but now there are no more."

"I think it is very likely that the Tubo army already knew our intentions, so they chose to intercept us on the periphery of the siege of the King of Shu."

"Although we have already got rid of the spies in the past two days, this is the territory of Tubo, and it will be a matter of time before they discover it again."

In fact, from Wang Xuance's point of view, it is not the best way to directly rescue Li Ke and the Shu army based on their numbers.

In fact, Li Ke's Shu army can still hold out for a while. The best way now is still to join forces with Hou Junji's army, increase the speed of the army, and cooperate with the army to rescue.

To put it bluntly, but judging from the number of people, there is not much difference between the 20 Tubo army, the [-] Tang army and the [-] Tang army.

But, since Li You also said that rescue should be the first goal, then Wang Xuance will carry out this plan without hesitation.

He glanced at the map, then pointed to three places and said, "My lord, if the enemy sets up an ambush, it is likely to be in these three places."
