    When Gehan arrived, the third pontoon bridge had been lost.  Ge Shuhan saw the situation brightly and knew that the remaining two pontoon bridges were fine, so he ordered the hoplites to take a nap and recover their strength.  After waking up, he would order a meal before the battle, so that he would be seven-quarters full so that he could rush to the battlefield.

    It is a common practice in the army to eat seventy percent full before a war, in order to ensure physical strength.

    Before they were ready, they found that the Tibetan army was loading sand on the beach. Ge Shuhan knew that Cheng Xiaotian was in trouble, so he sent some soldiers to tie branches to the horses' tails to stir up smoke. First, he told Cheng Xiaotian that a large number of reinforcements had arrived, and they were going to  He persisted.  The second is to intimidate Tibet.

    With the order given, the heavy infantry uniformly dressed up and followed Ge Shuhan to the south bank, captured the Nu River, repulsed Chi Dezuzan's army, and prepared the conditions for the arrival of the army.

    The Nujiang River is the last natural barrier for Luoxue City. Now it is in the hands of the Tang army. Luoxue City has reached the point where it is undefendable. Tubo has reached the final moment of life and death. A decisive battle is about to begin!

    Ge Shuhan was not content with just setting up camp. He also ordered the army to rebuild a pontoon bridge on the Nu River.  After several days of hard work, five more pontoon bridges appeared on the Nu River. Including the two seized from the Tibetan people, there were seven pontoon bridges in total. One hundred thousand Tang troops could quickly pass through the Nu River and reach the south bank.

    Tang troops arrived one after another, and soon, the south bank of the Nu River was a barracks.

    Fei Junxing¡¯s first words upon arrival were ¡°General Geshu, give me back my horse!¡±

    Ge Shuhan quickly clarified: "Whoever comes up with the idea is the one you go to! If he doesn't come up with the idea, how can I ask for the horse?"

    Wang Zhongsi made a face at his brother Shu Han: "General Ge Shu, you get all the benefits, don't get it cheap and still act like a good boy!"

    Cheng Xiaotian was quite gloating about his misfortune and patted Fei Junxing on the shoulder: "Boy Fei, how does it feel like the cavalry turns into infantry? Good opportunities are rare. Come again next time!"

    Fei Junxing was so angry that he blew his beard, raised his fists and chased after him. Cheng Xiaotian jumped and ran away.  Everyone burst out laughing as they watched the two playing.

    The Tang army kept passing through the pontoon day and night, and even after half a month, they were still arriving in an endless stream. This made the Tubo people panic. They really didn't know how many Tang troops there were.  What surprised them even more was that the Tang Army's camp was getting bigger day by day. There were at least sixty or seventy miles of Tang Army stationed on the south bank of the Nu River within a hundred miles. Looking at this formation, the Tang Army did not have half a million soldiers, so I believe it would not be much different.

    What surprised the Tubo people the most was that the Tang army had no intention of attacking, but instead set up camp for training. The whole day was full of excitement and excitement.

    Logically speaking, the Tang army should fight quickly instead of setting up camp and doing trivial things.  This left the Tubo monarchs and ministers guessing, and they were gathering in Chide Zuzan's tent to discuss.

    "You all tell me, what are the Tang troops doing?" Chi Dezuzan glanced at the ministers: "The Tang troops have done nothing since they crossed the Nu River. I originally thought that they would attack immediately as soon as they arrived, but I didn't expect it.  , there was no movement from the Tang army."

    Due to the dangerous terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the difficulty in transporting grain and grass, the wisest decision for the Tang army was to arrive early and fight early, and then withdraw after the battle.  Otherwise, when the mountains are covered with snow and ice and snow cover the roads, food and grass cannot be transported, and Tubo is very poor and cannot supply hundreds of thousands of troops, and the consequences will be disastrous.

    Guo Qianguan was a famous general and would not understand this truth. However, the Tang army did the opposite.  They just practiced all day and did nothing else, which puzzled the shrewd Chi De Zuzan.

    Unable to figure it out, Chi Dezuzan had no choice but to summon a group of generals and ministers from Luoche City for discussion.

    In war, it is very important to understand the enemy's intentions. The generals immediately expressed their opinions. A Qianhu of the Forbidden Army replied: "Zanpu, the Tang army should be waiting for the army behind to arrive. It took half a month for the Tang army to cross the Nu River.  Not to mention, their camp is getting bigger and bigger, and the Tang army invested more than 400,000 troops this time."

    In fact, all the Tang troops had arrived at the Nu River long ago. The reason why they did not stop for half a month was because Guo Qianguan ordered some of the Tang troops to return to the north bank at midnight.  When it was daytime, they crossed the river with great fanfare. The Tibetan scouts reported the news to Chi Dezuzan, saying that "the Tang army crossed the river day and night non-stop, and they didn't even finish half a month."

    The Tang army marched on seven pontoon bridges day and night. How many people would there be after half a month?  I feel dizzy just thinking about it. How can I not frighten Tubo?

    As for the expansion of the camp, it is just a cooperative measure.  The middle part of the Tang army's camp was empty, and only the edges were occupied by people.

    Xiao Lun disagrees with this statement: "Zanpu, I thought that the Tang army would not send so many people here, and it is probably a trick of suspicion. The terrain of Tubo is dangerous, and it is difficult to sustain food and grass. If there are more than 400,000 people?, staring closely at the big talk, raised his thick eyebrows: "Okay! No matter what you say, I will forgive you!"

    "Thank you, Zanpu!" The lecturer thanked him, and then said: "Zanpu, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I think that the Tang army has a large number of people, so we should not use their sharp edges. We, the Tubo people, should avoid their sharp edges until their morale is low and it is difficult to provide food and grass.  After that, fighting him decisively is the best strategy!"

    Chi De Zuzan said calmly: "This is also a way of saying it!"

    The lecture continued: "Zanpu, I think that the Tibetan army is not as well-equipped and well-trained as the Tang army. It is not its opponent in a head-on confrontation. The most important thing now is to preserve its strength. It should withdraw its troops to high mountains and rivers."  Place to station."

    He is not an incompetent person, what he said is exactly what Tang Jun is most afraid of.  Once the Tibetan army did not engage in a head-on confrontation with the Tang army, but adopted a method of preserving its strength and relying on the cover of difficult terrain to deal with the Tang army, the Tang army was really powerless and had to withdraw early.

    Da Lun's idea is very good, but Chi De Zuzan has a strong and unyielding character. He would not give up easily. He sneered: "Da Lun, are you afraid? If the army is not united, it will be detrimental to the army if you talk about the loser first!"  If I had not forgiven you, I would have sacrificed you to the flag!"

    Da Lun¡¯s forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he was secretly glad that Chi Dezu had pardoned his innocence: ¡°Zan Pu, I tell the truth, please think twice!¡±

    "According to what you say, if we evacuate, what will happen to Luoxue City? What will happen to the abandoned Zong Nongzan's tomb? Let the Tang people wreak havoc?" Chide Zuzan became more and more angry as he spoke, and slapped the case loudly: "We are  The descendants of those who abandon the sect and praise them will never be cowards! Anyone who dares to withdraw the troops will be beheaded!"

    Zhang said he was extremely talented and calculated Chi De Zuzan¡¯s reaction very accurately!

    The anger grew so fierce that all the ministers were frightened and the generals did not dare to show their anger, they could only stare.

    After a while, Da Lun was the first to speak: "Since Zanpu does not accept the policy, I have nothing to say. However, I think there is one more thing that should be done, and that is to ask the Tang Dynasty to send an envoy to come and talk to you."  Zanpu discussed the matter of stopping the troops. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, it is imperative for Tibet and the Tang Dynasty to stop the troops. This can not only make preparations for the future withdrawal, but also take the opportunity to spy on the strength of the Tang army. "

    Chi Dezuzan thought for a while and said: "This is reasonable and should be done! However, you can't do it this way. You have to do it in another way!" A sneer appeared on the corner of Chidezu's mouth.  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters.
