The east side was full of fighting, and some people could not hold it in the west side.

As a hero of a generation, how could Lu Dongzan be willing to fall into depravity at such a historic moment, sit at home and watch the fire from the other side of the river, and of course he would make his debut so that he could be famous in history.

You should know that Lu Dongzan is a very powerful politician and military strategist. Of course, he knew that if the Tang Dynasty was allowed to successfully take Goguryeo, then he would be the only one Tubo left around the Tang Dynasty. This would be very unfavorable to Tubo. He would never allow the Tang Dynasty to destroy Goguryeo so easily.

This alone was enough to make him determined to send troops to disrupt the situation.

Therefore, when he learned that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Goguryeo, Lu Dongzan had already quietly gathered troops and prepared to send troops to Northwest and Tuyuhun at the same time.

However, Tubo was still in a marriage relationship with the Tang Dynasty at this time. If the war started directly, Wuming would go to the army and the Tang Dynasty would fight Goguryeo, and do nothing about Tubo. You have never even met Na Yuan Gai Suwen, and you are still in a relative relationship with the Tang Dynasty.

But this thing can be covered up a little, because once the war begins, both sides understand what is going on, and you just deliberately mess up the situation.

Lu Dongzan is not very shameless, so he doesn't care about these things. I just want to fight Tubo. If I don't send troops today, I will be waiting for death.

Lu Dongzan used his old trick again, and asked Chu Yue to command 50,000 troops to attack the Khotan Mansion, and asked the chief of Bailan to command 50,000 troops to attack Tuyuhun.

This moon and Gongyue were beaten by famous Tang generals such as Su Dingfang and others, leaving their hometowns. They hid at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. There were not so many elite soldiers. In fact, they were all Tubo soldiers mixed in. Not only that, Chuyue, Gongyue Chief was actually just the nominal commander, and the real commander was Lu Dongzan's eldest son, Zan Xiruo.

For Tuyuhun, because Lu Dongzan's base camp is here, after the last battle in Tuyuhun, he did not go back to the capital. He established a small court here. The head of Tubo is in a place where birds do not shit. It is close to the Tang Dynasty and is very prosperous. Moreover, it is also a strategic location. He is fully responsible for all matters in Tubo, so he is actually in charge of the commander, but he is not leading the army.

The two fronts attacked, with a total of 100,000 troops. It can be seen that Lu Dongzan not only wanted to drag the Tang army back this time.

Because the Tang Dynasty sent all the generals who could conquer and fight to the east. Although there were garrisons everywhere, there was no commander. What was the fear of this headless dragon? How could Lu Dongzan missed this opportunity? He wanted to play bigger, not just to save Goguryeo. The result he hoped was that the Tang army did not capture Goguryeo, but instead lost the northwest and Tuyuhun. At the worst, the Tang army took Goguryeo and occupied the northwest and Tuyuhun. In that case, the two sides would be equal in territory, and no one was afraid of each other. He pursued a balance.

Although one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, two tigers are better than one tiger and one rabbit!

Therefore, Lu Dongzan put out all the chess pieces. On the eve of his troops, the Gongyue City, Ge Luolu and other tribes in the northwest region rebelled one after another.

Because in Han Yi's Northwest Great Plan, it is to subvert the rule of the old Turks and support local merchants. These are two different rulers. Some people in these areas must still miss the glory of the Turkic dynasty in the past. They are unwilling to be ruled by the Tang Dynasty. And if you do this, they will gradually be eliminated. He is no longer aristocrat and no longer respected. And this is gradually becoming a reality. However, because the plan of the whole region is relatively stable, the people are very satisfied and unwilling to make a big move, these people dare not speak out. Lu Dongzan is good at sowing discord. Tubo has always infiltrated the entire northwest, and Lu Dongzan fanned all these people.

Taking their uprising as a signal, then send troops to the army.

He did not even declare war, but directly sent troops to attack. Anyway, this was nominally a civil war, so there was no need to declare war. Bailan used to belong to Tuyuhun, Chuyue, and Gongyue were also a nobleman of the Western Turks.

This is a war of thousands of miles away, and the war burned from the easternmost part of Asia to the westernmost part of the world.

It can be seen that such a large territory in the Tang Dynasty is really not easy, and it can affect the whole body with just one move.

The Tubo army came in full force and was very fast. Lu Dongzan hoped to attack the Tang Dynasty and caught him off guard. He quickly wiped out the Tang army around the Anxi Protectorate. The reinforcements were thousands of miles away. When the reinforcements came back, the daylily was cold. But he never expected that both sides were defeated in the first battle, and they were defeated in disastrously.

Moreover, the failure process was exactly the same. It was very smooth at the beginning, but when the troops arrived at the city, a Tang army suddenly appeared behind them, and they copied their retreat and cooperated with the Tang army in front to attack on both sides.

It turned out that at the suggestion of Cui Jieren, Li Zhi ordered the Beiting army to lead a 10,000 army to quietly come to Yutian to cooperate with Su Haizheng to defend, and ordered the governor of Liangzhou Zhao Chiman to lead 10,000 elite troops from Liangzhou to quietly enter Tuyuhun to help Wang Fangyi and Wang Xuance defend.

When Lu Dongzan saw that Li Zhi sent all the commanders to Goguryeo, he certainly thought that the Tang Dynasty was not guarding him. They thought they were unexpected, but they knew that the Tang army even arranged an ambush to wait for him.

The power of Wang Fangyi and Wang Xuance, plus Zhao Chiman, can be imagined. What's even more terrifying is that these three people are both civil and military, both offensive and defense, have no weaknesses, and are both in their thirties and forties. They are at the peak of a man. The only disadvantage is that they are not famous. They are all in the Middle Ages and have no fame. This confuses Lu Dongzan. Why are these unknown guys all cruel and lustful?

After severely attacking the Bailan tribe, Wang Bang and Zhao Chiman did not hesitate and immediately launched a large-scale counterattack, pursuing the enemy, and the Tubo army was confused. This was completely different from the plan. They had no mental preparation. They didn't know how many people there were in the Tang army, but they only knew that they would escape back to the country first, and they would be defeated all the way.

Wang Fangyi, Wang Xuance and Zhao Chiman had a tacit understanding, because Wang Fangyi and Wang Xuance had always stationed troops in Tuyuhun, and Wang Fangyi and Zhao Chiman belonged to the Guanlong Group and were of the same generation. They had a very good relationship. The three of them knew each other very well and had a tacit understanding. Sometimes they joined forces and sometimes they divided into three groups. The attack was very sharp. Not only did they recover the Heyuan area that they lost last time, but they also occupied the entire Bailan tribe.

The chief of the Bailan tribe almost vomited blood and died. In just a few days, all the land left by his ancestors was lost because their Bailan tribe was full of their nests. He didn't expect that the fight would be like this. The Bailan tribe was not prepared for defense. Wang Fangyi and his team attacked too quickly. They really chased them and didn't give them any chance to breathe.

But after fighting here, Wang Fangyi and the others stopped because Tubo was moving forward, not that they could not fight, but they also knew that if they fought forward, the supply could not keep up, and now they could shock Lu Dongzan.

However, the northwest is a little different from the situation here.

Khotan Mansion.

"General Su, at this time, the Tubo army did not know the reality of our army. We should take advantage of the victory to pursue and eliminate more of their troops as much as possible so that they can't invade again. We can fight for our main force in Goguryeo. If we don't pursue it at this time, when they recover, our troops will not be enough to resist their attack."

Pei Xingjian was so anxious that he stomped his feet in the big tent!

After Wang Fangyi and his friends ambushed the Tubo army, they immediately counterattacked, but they did not go along the way. After Su Haizheng won the first battle, he ordered the soldiers not to pursue them.

Su Haizheng looked at Pei Xingjian disdainfully and said, "Our army's strength is not as good as the enemy. If we attack, can you guarantee that we will win? If we fail, do you know what the consequences are? Not only will this be lost, but even the Great Protector cannot be protected. I expect that after the enemy is repelled by our army, we will not dare to invade for the time being. We should take the opportunity to eliminate the rebels, so that we can concentrate on resisting Tubo. Even if Tubo attacks again, we will not be afraid."

This means that you must first settle the home when fighting foreign countries.

Su Haizheng was originally in charge of Gutian, and Pei Xingjian came from Beiting Prefecture. The Khotan Prefecture was lost, and the court was guilty of Su Haizheng. Pei Xingjian was just a helper. Of course, Su Haizheng thought that it was better to be more conservative. Keeping Gutian would be a great achievement.

Pei Xingjian said excitedly: "The rebellion in Gongyue City and other places is unpopular and not worth worrying about. They mainly cooperate with the Tubo army and caused panic in our army. Therefore, as long as we repel Tubo, those people will be defeated without attacking."

Su Haizheng looked at Pei Xingjian unhappily and said lightly: "I have decided, don't say much, you can quickly lead the troops to Gongyue City to quell the rebellion."

Pei Xingjian said in surprise: "If I leave, what if the Tubo army fights back?"

Su Haizheng was even more upset when he heard this. Pei Xingjian is only in his thirties now. When he was in war, Pei Xingjian probably was still chanting the Analects of Confucius. He thought, it may not be possible that he could not be able to defend Khotan without you, and you looked down on others too much. He said coldly: "Did Pei join the army think that without your help, I can't defend Khotan?"

Although Li Zhi did not cause trouble for them at Han Yi's suggestion, Xu Jingzong and others demoted them, and Pei Xingjian was directly demoted to joining the army. Su Haizheng was reminding him that you would just join the army with a small army. If the commander hadn't been to Goguryeo, where would you be your turn to come here to help? You would dare to challenge me.

Pei Xingjian was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "I don't dare."

Su Haizheng's expression was slightly relieved and said, "You should lead troops to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, and you will have no worries in the northwest."

"I will obey the order."

Pei Xingjian bowed his fists and sighed in his heart, but he couldn't protect himself if he could do anything. Changsun Wuji was dead, and he had scolded Wu Meiniang at the beginning. If Su Haizheng went to sue him, he would definitely die, because Xu Jingzong was waiting there, so he could only obey Su Haizheng's orders and lead his troops to Gongyue City to quell the rebellion.

Lu Dongzan has not had a good night's sleep these days. These two fists attacked, but they all hit the stone slab. They either broke bones or had skin and flesh, blood flowing, and bad news flew over like snowflakes. This was obviously a trap! He was suspicious by nature, and when he saw that the Tang army was prepared, he quickly ordered the army to stop attacking and turn to defense.

"Father! Why do you strictly prohibit the fight?"

Lu Dongzan's fourth son Daguri came to the big tent, and he looked very excited. He was young and energetic and was about to counterattack, but Lu Dongzan suddenly ordered not to fight, which made him very unhappy.

Lu Dong praised: "I don't want to be a father. I'm caught off guard by wanting to attack the Tang army. But the Tang army was prepared long ago. Since they were prepared long ago, it would be very difficult for our army to achieve its goal. Since the Tang army has not crossed the boundary, don't completely break up with the Tang Dynasty."

Daguri said excitedly: "Father, how can the arrows shot out be taken back? Don't the Tang Dynasty know that this is what we were planning behind the scenes? If the main force of the Tang army eliminated Goguryeo, the Tang Dynasty would definitely not let us go. Since that is the case, it would be better to take the initiative and occupy Tuyuhun first. Even if they wanted to fight back, it would be very difficult."

Lu Dongzan heard it and looked hesitant. After a while, he said, "Now we don't even know the truth of the Tang army. If we attack rashly, if we are ambushed by the Tang army again, it will be a big deal. Let's find out first before making a decision."
