Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2423 Can be attacked and killed

For people like Xu Jian who abandoned the city, everyone didn't like it very much.

And after hearing Xu Jian speak, they made no secret of their disgust.

Faced with the disgust of these people, Xu Jian's expression was very calm, because he never regretted the things he did, even if he was asked to do it again, he would still do it.

He didn't speak in a hurry, but looked at Zhang Shouming. Whether he said it or not was entirely up to Zhang Shouming, not these chattering people.

When Zhang Shouming saw the situation of the crowd, he waved his hands and said, "Xu Jian, what can you say."

Zhang Shouming opened his mouth, and although the others were still very upset, they didn't say anything more.

At this time, Xu Jiancai said: "General, the purpose of Tubo's trip here is to plunder supplies to relieve the snow disaster that happened in Tubo. Now that General Zhang Erhei is here, it is basically impossible for Tubo to capture Longcheng." It is possible, and they are running out of food and grass. But even so, Tubo still has no intention of retreating, so their purpose may have changed."

This is something no one expected.

After Xu Jian said this, everyone was a little bit stunned. Since they still insisted, they might have really changed their purpose. If the purpose was not to plunder, then what was their purpose?
Everyone turned their attention to Xu Jian, Xu Jian said: "They are still staying in the barracks, but they are not attacking the city, so they are obviously restraining the soldiers and horses of Dragon City, and at the same time confusing us, let us focus on Dragon City , then if there is another Tubo army, what will they do? They will suddenly attack Songzhou City, Songzhou City is the gateway of the Tang Dynasty, break through Songzhou City, travel thousands of miles, and they will have no obstacles , We have few barriers to intercept them, so their goal may be Songzhou City."

After saying this, everyone suddenly took a breath.

Songzhou City is a big city, and it can be said to be very strong. It is definitely not an easy task to capture Songzhou City. If Tubo really has this intention, then they may think about it this time.

They are afraid that they are going to die.

But at this time, after everyone heard this, they didn't even have the slightest doubt, because they felt that it was really possible for Tubo to do such a thing.

Everyone looked at each other, Zhang Shouming smiled lightly, and said: "The Tubo still underestimate our Tang Dynasty and our Songzhou City, even if they go out in force and want to capture Songzhou City, it will definitely not be easy Since they want to attack Songzhou City, let's wait for them here."

Regarding defending the city, Zhang Shouming was still very confident. He felt that no one was better at defending the city than him, otherwise the emperor would not have sent him to defend the city in such an important place.

He is very confident in defending Songzhou City.

However, at this time, Xu Jian said again: "General, Songzhou City is strong. It is not difficult to defend Songzhou City, but we can't just sit and wait for death. There are some things that should be done."

"what do you mean?"

"Send ten thousand soldiers and horses to raid the Tubo soldiers and horses outside Longcheng, and General Zhang Erhei, swallow the Tubo soldiers and horses, and wipe out their vital forces."

This idea is very bold, but it sounds very exciting. Once they annex the Tubo soldiers and horses outside Longcheng, they will be able to reduce a lot of pressure, and it can also hit the morale of Tubo.

I'm afraid, the Tubo soldiers and horses outside Dragon City wouldn't have thought of this, would they?

Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Shouming. Zhang Shouming is not the kind of person who likes to take the initiative to attack. His specialty is defending the city. However, the situation Xu Jian said is too tempting. Thirty thousand Tubo soldiers, If they can be wiped out, that would be a great thing.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Shouming nodded and said, "Okay, then send ten thousand troops to Longcheng, join hands with Zhang Erhei, and destroy the Tubo troops there."

Songzhou City was only a few days away from Longcheng, and Zhang Shouming didn't want to give up the opportunity to wipe out [-] Tubo soldiers.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Jian and said, "How about giving you [-] soldiers and letting you lead the troops to destroy that Tubo army?"

For Xu Jian, Zhang Shouming actually had some inexplicable admiration. If Xu Jian could destroy the [-] soldiers, then he would be considered guilty and meritorious. After returning to the capital Chang'an, his punishment would definitely not be so severe. , he is giving Xu Jian a chance.

It's just that after he finished saying this, some other generals were a little upset. Xu Jian said this because he said this, but it didn't mean that they didn't have any objections to Xu Jian.

"General, Xu Jian, a man who abandoned the city, how can he do such things."

"That's right, that's right, the general, please choose someone else to go, if no one goes, the general will be willing to serve you."

"Yes, the general, please choose someone else."

"........."

Everyone said this, but Zhang Shouming waved his hands and said: "Okay, I've made up my mind, I'll leave this matter to Xu Jian, Zhang Erhei, I will send someone to send him the news of."

After Zhang Shouming said this, the others could only helplessly agree. Xu Jian was a little surprised, and his gratitude to Zhang Shouming couldn't help but arise.

"General, don't worry, the [-] Tubo soldiers and horses, I want them to come and go."

After finishing speaking here, Xu Jian didn't stop at all. After gathering his soldiers and horses, he hurried to Longcheng with his soldiers and horses in a hurry.

And when Xu Jian rushed to Longcheng, about two hundred miles away from Songzhou City, a mighty Tubo army left Tubo's territory and stepped into Datang's territory.

This Tubo army has a large number of people, a total of 20 people. The leader of the army is distinguished, and he is Tubo Zanpu and Songtsen Gampo.

The cold wind was howling, and all the soldiers were chilled, but when they saw Songtsan Gampo sitting on the horseback, they gritted their teeth and endured it.

Their zamps are still advancing against the cold wind, so what can they say or complain about?

Moreover, they are going to take Songzhou City in this battle, and they will show the Tang Dynasty a lot. This battle is related to the life and death of Tubo, and they must cheer up.

And Songtsan Gampo sat on the tower, his eyes narrowed slightly. After learning that Chegu failed, he had such a determination.

He is going to do a big thing, something that Tang Jun can't think of.

He wants to quickly capture Songzhou City, open the door of Datang, and make the land of Datang a hell on earth.

The future of their Tubo depends on this battle.
