Everything seems a bit weird.

This expedition to Tubo seemed unusual, as if several forces were muddling the waters.

However, the Left Guard Army is the absolute main force of the Central Army, and the senior generals of the Left Guard Army are all confidant generals promoted by Hou Junji.

Hou Junji has absolute confidence, so these generals will not have any problems.

However, except for the senior generals in the army, the others had no chance to get in touch with the combat plan sent by Niu Jinda and others.

What Hou Junji even more can't understand is that the defeat of the vanguard battalion will not affect the overall situation, so why should this spy be exposed in advance?

If the spy lurks silently and chooses the right time to give the central army a fatal blow, wouldn’t it play a greater role?

Hou Junji felt a little confused, but he did not plan to go to support Gansongling immediately.

Because Hou Junji wanted Yang Fan to know that he was the commander of the army, he was not a doll he could do.

But in the blink of an eye, Yu Guang saw Changsun Chong secretly looking at him.

As soon as his eyes touched, Changsun Chong lowered his head guiltily.

This kid is weird!

Could it be...

Hou Junji was shocked!

But Niu Jinda has no grudges with this kid, why did this kid deliberately wipe out thousands of soldiers in the vanguard battalion?

After all, this did not have any substantial benefits for Changsun Chong, but instead made Yang Fan pick up the bargain...

Uh, it's not right!

Changsun Chong and Yang Fan had a huge grudge. Why did Niu Jinda lose in the battle? Changsun Chong hurriedly recommended Yang Fan as the vanguard general, which was very unreasonable.

Although the vanguard general is dangerous, it is the easiest position to obtain military merit.

As an enemy, Changsun Chong could not have such a big belly to help Yang Fan.

Obviously, Changsun Chong wanted to put Yang Fan in danger...

Hou Junji didn't expect so much at the beginning. He thought it was the crown prince's talent, so he deliberately instructed Changsun Chong to let Yang Fan be the vanguard general.

Now when we connect it, we think about it, this boy’s intention is not to drink.

Hou Junji was whispering his short beard on his jaw, and he had a guess in his mind, so he tentatively said: "Son-in-law Changsun, what do you think about the spies in the army? In addition, should this general send troops to support Gansongling immediately?"

"Ah?" Unexpectedly, Hou Jun asked him, Changsun Chong was shocked, and quickly stood up and said modestly: "The commander in front of him, how dare the subordinates discuss military affairs!"

But Hou Junji did not give up: "I heard that the eldest son-in-law often supervised military affairs on behalf of His Highness the Crown Prince, and obviously he has a lot of insights into military affairs. Why not tell me that I will give you a detailed look?"

The prince Li Chengqian, who was standing by, didn't understand why, nodded and agreed: "The Prince Consort Changsun does have unique insights into military affairs, and many of the views refreshed me."

As he said that, he turned to Changsun Chong and continued, "Since the commander-in-chief is speaking, please don't be polite, how many words do you say?"

"No!" Changsun Chong smiled bitterly.

I used to be deliberately showing it, but today I feel like shooting myself in the foot.

He had to quickly calm down and immediately organized a speech: "The official thought that the most important task at present is to destroy Lu Dongzan's army, so as to clear the route of the army's advance westward..."

"The officials thought that the spies in the army were just nonsense, and it was obviously an excuse for General Niu and the others to find for failure!"

"In the eyes of Xiaguan, there is no need to send reinforcements immediately. The main force of Tubo has been attracted by our central army. Since Zhongyi Hou can divide his troops to find the lost soldiers in the vanguard camp, it means that there are not many Tubo troops in Gansongling, so there is no need to rush to support!"

"This kid is indeed a problem." Hou Junji narrowed his eyes and thought secretly.

But it is not intended to be exposed.

Whether it is Niu Jinda or Yang Fan, Hou Junji has no good feelings, and they are all objects that can't be eliminated.

Gu Lao

However, as the commander of the army, Hou Junji cannot express his preferences explicitly.

Since Changsun Chong wants to deal with Yang Fan, it is better to go with the flow.

In this way, it can not only grasp Changsun Chong's handle, but also eliminate strange things, which is a killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Hou Junji smiled and said, "The Prince Consort Changsun is indeed one of the best young talents in Chang'an City. Not only is he profound in literature, but he also has such profound insights on military affairs. I admire him, so I will act according to your suggestions."

Changsun was stunned!

It was obvious that Hou Junji didn't want to divide his troops to support him immediately, but he was all over his head, obviously wanting to take the blame.

Just as he was about to explain, he saw Hou Junji looking at him with a smile, with a warning in his eyes.

Changsun Chong was shocked. The old fox obviously guessed something.

But Hou Junji is too sinister. He is indeed a gangster from the market and wants to kill someone with a knife.

Although Changsun Chong was a little angry, he could only swallow it secretly. Who could have let his handle be caught by Hou Junji?

*******

Gansongling, also known as Gansong Mountain, is named after the production of dried pine. In ancient times, it was said that the river water originated here.

As the gateway to the Tang Dynasty, Tubo and Tuyuhun, this is a place that military strategists must compete for. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty established a stone pass here.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding here have become soldiers from Zuoying.

Zhai Changsun stood above the ridge, looking at the smallest mountains, but his eyes were filled with sorrow.

According to the scouts, Songtsen Gampo personally led an army of 80,000 to advance towards Gansongling.

At this time, we had already set up camp twenty miles away. Without thinking, we knew that when the Tubo army was repaired, it was time for the two soldiers to meet each other.

As the highest commander of Zuoying at this moment, Zhai Changsun felt a lot of pressure.

Thinking of what Yang Fan said when he left, Zhai Changsun clenched his fists.

Stick to Gansongling for two days...

It seems that the time has not been long, but it is a difficult task.

The military strategy says: three times the siege and ten times the siege, the Tubo army is more than ten times the siege!

If Tubo forced himself to knock on the gate, it would be a fierce battle.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the hero returned for ten years!

Zhai Changsun was not afraid of death, but was afraid of failure and was afraid of letting down Yang Fan's trust.

In Yang Fan, Zhai Changsun saw hope again, and he didn't want to be destroyed...

The soldiers sent to ask for help before Yang Fan left had returned, but did not bring back the support of each soldier. Instead, they were scolded by Hou Junji:

"Since the Marquis of Zhongyi can divide his troops out to find soldiers, it is obvious that he is confident. Besides, the main force of Tubo has already headed towards the Central Army, and there are only a few Tubo soldiers on Gansongling. If you retreat to the enemy on your own, you must not trap Gansongling in the enemy's hands, otherwise military law will be carried out."

A few Tubo soldiers?

Zhai Changsun really wants to scold his mother.

The scouts have confirmed that there are as many as 80,000 troops attacking Gansongling this time, and they are all brave and warlike Tubo Guards.

You should know that these guards are all direct descendants of Songtsen Gampo, and their officials are the most backbone military force in Tubo.

However, these people were ignored by Hou Junji, and they were obviously deliberately pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Hou Junji couldn't wait for the support, and Zhai Changsun could only hope that a miracle would happen now.
