Xue Chongxun rested in Shancheng for nearly a month and stopped moving. During this period, he transferred more than 10,000 horses and countless armies from the Helong Plain to re-arm the Shen Ce Army. After the reorganization of the people who could not fight, he obtained 7,000 soldiers and generals. He also selected more than 8,000 tall and strong soldiers from each army, and was called the Shen Ce Army again.
At this time, the troops from various towns near and far had arrived one after another. Xue Chongxun had a force of about 100,000, and he also had a covenant with the Murong family of Tuyuhun to obtain the Allied Army as 100,000 cavalry.
He has become the head of a huge army of more than 200,000 people.
At that time, the Tubo army had retreated near Wuhai City, and was still known as a 500,000 army, but the actual number of the Tang Dynasty was not clear, and the strength of the two sides should be almost the same.
The Tubo soldiers occupied Jishi Mountain System and part of the Jiuqu of the Yellow River as logistics bases, confronting the Tang Army.
At the end of September, Xue Chongxun led his army out of the country to meet with the Tuyuhun Army near Dafeichuan to complete the assembly, and the main force of the Tubo army in the south remained unmoved.
The Tang Dynasty coalition forces had 200,000 horses, cattle, sheep, supplies, food and grass, and the camps ran for dozens of miles south of the West Sea...
The weather is cold and the mobility is inconvenient, so Xue Chongxun, as the main general, doesn't know exactly what his soldiers are doing.
It happened to be snowing these days, and the wind and snow in the wilderness were so cold that people shrank their necks and didn't want to get out of the tent.
Seeing that winter had arrived early and was not suitable for combat, Xue Chongxun was so cold that he shivered every day that he wanted to return to the army to quit.
Unfortunately, this large group of troops gathered together on a long journey, and the enemy had not completely retreated and still occupied the Yellow River area. It was always a bit unreasonable if he ran away without sending an arrow.
The area where the army was stationed was not a good place for the Tang people. Xue Rengui was defeated by the Tubo army at the beginning, and Li Jingxuan's 180,000 army was defeated by the Tubo army, and it was not far from here near the West Sea.
However, the generals under his command were full of expectations and hoped to avenge the previous shame. Because last time Xue Chongxun sang a sentence that "Da Wu Chuan was still alive" at the celebration banquet, obviously ambitious. Who would have thought that he could not find the lyrics to make up for it?
At that time, I had no idea of deep meanings such as borrowing words to express my aspirations.
The staff and generals proposed many surprise attacks. Some people proposed to take a detour to attack the food, grass, cattle and sheep stored in the Yellow River Basin. The Tubo army won consecutive battles in the early stage until the Shence Army attacked the king's tent. Previously, a large number of food, grass, grass and cattle, sheep and horses from the Tang army's strongholds were robbed, and many of them were placed in the rear.
If the Tubo general can successfully attack successfully, the Tang army will have a great chance of winning.
But many generals also think that this method is not reliable because it is too difficult and the road is long and difficult to walk. I am afraid that the sneak attack will not be eliminated.
Some people also proposed to carry forward the Tang army's long-range attack and attack the hearts of the treacherous army, and use the light cavalry to launch an attack and attack the Tubo camp.
But no one can tell whether they can win or not, and if they leave their baggage, they will easily repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Dafeichuan.
Xue Chongxun looked south, but could not see anything, with only endless snow and rain and continuous hills and rocks in his sight.
What he most hopes is of course that Tubo will come and fight to the decisive battle. Everyone will fight hard. The Tang army is backing Dafeiling to line up to wait for sufficient food and supplies...
But Tubo ran far away and seemed to be reluctant to come up.
Zhang Wulang said: The Tubo people want to lure the enemy into the deep, and if we are deceived and fight a little unfavorable, it will lead to a major collapse.
The road is so muddy, and there is no way to run.Xue Chongxun sighed and said, "When the weather gets better, the road is difficult to go on, and build a village to defend and repair it."
So the army stationed in Dafeiling for several more days, but the weather still did not improve.
If the wind and snow continue like this this year, there is no need to fight this battle, and it is even more difficult to march after winter comes.
Many generals felt that the Tubo people had difficulty replenishing supplies in a while and might give up the occupied area and flee into the plateau for a truce.
If that is the case, Tang Tu and his troops will work in vain this year.
Xue Chongxun came to the northwest to make achievements and improve his reputation. Although he has won the first battle, the overall situation has made little progress and has failed to achieve a decisive victory.
If this Helong War ended, he would obviously feel a little disappointed.
However, at this moment, he was more rational and did not dare to underestimate the enemy too much. Compared to a big defeat, a good result is also considered a good result.
When he was with the generals, he said: If the weather did not help, the weather would get worse and worse, our army should not fight in a wave. When Tubo retreated, we would slowly recover the Yellow River Basin and the Jishi Mountains and rebuild the stronghold and fortress, and sent generals to settle the fields, as a long-term plan.
All the generals believed that this was a safe way.
Unexpectedly, people's calculations are not as good as the sky's calculations. After a few days, the wind and snow stopped one after another, and the sun appeared on the head again.
Xue Chongxun stood on the dry and cold hills, looking up at the sky, only a few blue sky was blue, and the sky was really beautiful. The blue sky contrasted with the snow-capped mountains and the snow on the ground, and the environment was spotlessly clean.
The wind also stopped, and the calmness of the breeze made people mistakenly think it was the weather in early spring, otherwise how could it be so beautiful?
All the civil and military generals also rode up the hill and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the plateau together.
A general who has been stationed in Longyou for a long time said: This kind of weather will not easily cause evil changes, and it will continue to be clear. It is a great time to send troops.
Upon hearing this, Xue Chongxun moved his eyes from the sky and looked at the endless camps and tents under the hills. One hundred and two hundred thousand people were at his feet. He had to be careful, so he didn't say anything immediately.
A general clasped his fist and said: I would like to lead the army to attack the Tubo camp for the vanguard, and catch him off guard!
Zhang Wulang disagreed and said: It was wind and snow for so many days, but it suddenly cleared up. Isn’t you still prepared for it?They have an army of 500,000. If we send a little man and horse, it is not enough for people to get stuck in the gaps. We must use the army to go over.
Wang Changling frowned and said: We captured so many noble ministers in Tuyuhun a month ago, and some of their subordinates are inevitably dissatisfied. If the main force of our army rushes to attack and leave Tuyuhun people to take care of the baggage, it may not be reliable, and the Tuyuhun cavalry will easily fail to fight... Xue Lang thought three times!
Some of the generals immediately advised: The fighter's shot has appeared, and we can't just stop and miss the opportunity. If the Tubo people don't come, we should take the initiative to launch an attack!
Xue Chongxun pondered for a long time, thinking that the Tubo army did not attack and did not retreat. It was really depressing to waste it there. This time, the Tang army finally gathered so many people, and it was always uncomfortable if they didn't fight.
War naturally has risks, and victory or defeat is always unpredictable.
All the generals were talking about how to fight. Wang Changling was not a military general. He thought more about the situation changing, so he said: If he was defeated in this battle, the situation in Longyou will be reversed immediately. Tuyuhun and other places will inevitably fall into the hands of Tubo. The Helong Plain is also in danger and will be attacked by Tubo soldiers for a long time.The northwest border is no longer peaceful for at least a few years...
Zhang Wulang frowned and said: "Brother Shao, you are thinking too much. Before you fight, you just want to lose. What else can we fight?"
Wang Changling said: You are right. In the current situation, we can maintain the advantages of the Helong front even if we don’t fight and keep the troops alive. The Tubo soldiers dare not come to the decisive battle, so we will waste it until he retreats.
Li Kuiyong rarely interrupts in such a scene of discussing the overall situation. At this time, he couldn't help but say: "Young uncle said that we won't fight, so what did our 200,000 army run here to drink the wind and snow for nearly half a month?"
Because the Tubo people had hundreds of thousands of troops threatening Longyou on the opposite side, would they have to fight if they had soldiers?
Everyone quarreled for a while, and everyone realized that Xue Chongxun had not expressed his opinion. After enough argument, they turned to look at him and said, "Xue Lang is going to have an idea."
Xue Chongxun frowned and said: Since the weather is good, you can fight, why not fight?I wanted to see if this decisive battle could be fought over the plateau cavalry... The whole army marched and slowly approached south together to force Tubo to fight to the decisive battle!If you can’t fight, you will not lend your strength. I will admit defeat!
Everyone was silent, neither objecting nor agreeing.
It is not a good plan to fight hard openly. Besides, Xue Chongxun has been stubborn for several times and has not miscalculated it, so everyone is speechless.
Xue Chongxun's subordinates really have no talent to propose military strategies and convince everyone, and he himself is not good at planning on the battlefield.
So he made a decision in general: fight hard.
He looked at the sky again and said: There was nothing left and right, so he decided so, and ordered to bring enough food, grass and weapons to marches.
The Tuyuhun coalition forces of the Tang Dynasty were all dispatched, and they also brought various heavy weapons, mules and horses, heavy carts, food and grass, cattle and sheep and other things. Their marched very slowly. They walked at most dozens of miles a day, and the number of people was swaying...
Even if the Tubo people are stupid, they can learn about their whereabouts in advance. Moreover, the weather is rare and the Tubo army has been prepared for a long time.
In just one day, the Tubo king's tent learned about the news that the Tang army had come to him. Ji De Zuzan summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures, but he did not discuss any solutions.
Tangren is just fighting hard, and what strategy does he have to force him to do?
There are only two methods: either set up a decisive battle; or retreat early and give up the occupied area to return to the hinterland and make other plans.
If the Tubo people take this opportunity, the biggest decisive battle between the two countries in decades will be launched, and the consequences will naturally be serious.
However, because the Tang soldiers came slowly, the Tubo king's tent had not yet made a decision. The opposition to the decisive battle was mainly from the people of the Mo tribe. The leader of the Mo clan believed that there was no need to fight with the Tang people like this. The time is not very good. The Tang army has gathered the elites of the entire northwest border. We can avoid their edge and wait for their weak and favorable opportunity before attacking!
Seeing that Ji Dezuzan was willing to avenge his shame, Lang followed his thoughts and said: Because they gathered elites, once they defeated, the results and benefits of the battle will be unestimated!No one can afford to lose this battle, it depends on who can win. Xue Chongxun's approach is very refreshing.
Just as Xue Chongxun had a different dispute when making a decision, it was difficult for the Tubo people to make a decision whether to fight or retreat, while Ji De Zuzan was frowning and pondering and silently, and did not care about the disputes between the ministers.
At this time, the troops from various towns near and far had arrived one after another. Xue Chongxun had a force of about 100,000, and he also had a covenant with the Murong family of Tuyuhun to obtain the Allied Army as 100,000 cavalry.
