After a secret discussion with Ning Qing and the little girl agreed, Chen Yi let go and hugged Ning Qing and made a flirt with her in the study. After kissing her for a while, she let her go.

When Ning Qing "escaped" from Chen Yi's study, her face turned red like a piece of red paper. However, when she saw her husband pretending to ignore her, everyone knew that Ning Qing would become Chen Yi's concubine in a few days. No one dared to be disrespectful to this woman who made Chen Yi look at him differently, and he dared not laugh at or talk about what the two of them did in Chen Yi's study!

If someone discusses privately, the butler Chen An will not let go after knowing it!

In Chen Yi's expectations, the court quickly issued an edict to attack Tubo on a large scale. The edict was drafted by Wu Zetian himself. The article denounced the Tubo people who ignored the rituals of the monarch and ministers and violated the following. In recent years, they have done too many despicable things to our Tang Dynasty. The family ties between the two countries formed by the in-laws in the 14th year of Zhenguan have long disappeared. Everything was born because of the treason of the Tubo people and the ambitions of the wolf. In order to protect our Tang Dynasty's borders from being invaded by the Tubo people, our Tang Dynasty's subjects were not killed and enslaved by the Tubo people. The court decided to use Duke Xing and General Su Dingfang, the Left Wu Guard, as the chief marching officer of Qinghai Road, and to defeat the Tubo people!

When the imperial court issued an edict, the Tang border troops in Qinghai had already set off under the leadership of Su Dingfang and his son and his generals, and embarked on the journey to raid the Tubo camp.

The more than 20,000 troops led by Su Qingjie had already rushed to the lakeshore west of Chiling and southeast of Qinghai, and was preparing to quickly attack the Tubo camp along the south bank of Qinghai. According to pre-war investigations, about 150,000 troops of Qinling were stationed in the narrow area north of Qinghai, north of the southern mountain of Qinghai. The troops led by Su Qingjie by bypassed the Tubo people's garrison in Chiling through a secret path and went straight to the hinterland of Qinghai. He was preparing to work with his father Su Dingfang who was advancing from another direction to attack the Tubo people's camps from north to south, and strive to annihilate the main forces of the Tubo people in one battle, defeat the Qinling troops and even wipe out all the troops, and then take advantage of the chaos to deal with other Tubo troops.

This is the most common trick used by Su Dingfang, to hit the snake and hit seven inches. To capture the thief, to capture the king first, and to attack the enemy chief's troops first, so as not to give the opponent a chance to counterattack calmly. Both father and son had great confidence in the success of this raid. They believed that with the attack power of the tens of thousands of people they had led, the Tubo people who were not prepared could not cope with it. As long as they were not detected by the Tubo people in advance, the possibility of their success was very high.

In order to prevent the leak of news of the army's advance, they took roads that the herdsmen did not walk very much. Most places along the Qinghai coast are suitable for large groups of people to pass through, and flat areas can be said to be all roads.

Although it was already cold at this time and snow fell in some places, which was not conducive to the army's advancement, under such weather conditions, the Tubo people had less activities. The herdsmen had already switched and hid in warm places to spend the winter. Along the way, they did not encounter many Tubo people or herdsmen, and they all encountered were killed by them. On the way of the raid, no matter which general in the leading army did not want to increase the burden and slow down the speed of the journey. Even the food to fill the hunger was cattle and sheep that could move quickly with the troops on four legs. Naturally, they could not take prisoners. Those who encountered who might leak our whereabouts would definitely not save their lives. Dead people would not speak, and taking human lives is the best way to prevent news leakage!

This method proved to be successful!

It was getting late, and Su Qingjie led a group of personal guards to ride a horse onto a small hill to prepare to check the situation.

The journey was too smooth and he encountered no trouble. The Tubo people he encountered were just scattered herdsmen and some scattered soldiers, but this did not make Su Qingjie happy. Instead, he was very worried. After following his father Su Dingfang for many years, he knew that no war could go smoothly and could not be taken lightly at any time. Sometimes a little negligence would lead to a big disaster and lose all the money. Too smooth would make him a little weird. Qinling was an excellent general and very smart. In recent years, the Tang army had suffered a lot of losses in the battle with him. Before Su Dingfang was in charge of Qinghai, the Tang army suffered a lot of losses in the hands of Lu Dongzan and Qinling!

In the evening, Su Qingjie had to decide how the army would be stationed at night. It was not too far from the Tubo people's base camp, at most a few hundred miles. He was on the shore of Qinghai. He had to be careful and must not let the Tubo people find out whereabouts, and even if the attack was in vain, our army was ambushed by the Tubo people. Then his father and commander could not spare him. In case of precautions, many scouts were sent along the way to inquire about the Tubo people. Some scouts had already come back to report military information, but Su Qingjie hoped that more news would be heard so that he could make a decision.

While looking around, several cavalry ran quickly from a distance, and a team of sergeants quickly split out in the marching queue and intercepted them. If the other party was not our personnel, the intercepted sergeants and supporters would annihilate the other party in the shortest time and would never let one person go. However, after the two people met, there was no conflict. The scouts sent by Su Qingjie came back.

"Report to General, we have captured several important Tubo people!" The scout leader rushed to Su Qingjie and reported loudly, panting.

"Oh?!" Su Qingjie responded lightly. He knew that under normal circumstances, the scouts sent out would not capture prisoners, unless they were very valuable figures. They would bring back all the people and let the leading generals inquire about the situation in person. He knew that the Tubo people captured by the scout leader must not be ordinary Tubo people, and they may be more important figures.

Sure enough, the scout leader then roughly reported the identities of these Tubo people. It turned out that this was the contact between Qinling and his brother Zanpo. Qinling and Zanpo were stationed in Qinghai, one on the south bank of Qinghai and the other on the bend of the Yellow River, hundreds of miles apart. The Tubo people captured by the scouts were sent out to the south bank of Qinghai to deliver a letter to Qinling!

The scouts had been initially interrogated, but these Tubo people were quite hard-mouthed and could not speak any more, so they could only bring them back. Taking prisoners back was not easy, and these scouts took a lot of effort. Fortunately, they were specially trained people and were not alone in their actions. A small team of people helped them and finally brought back several Tubo people!

After hearing the report, Su Qingjie was overjoyed and immediately ordered these Tubo people to be taken down and interrogated immediately. He must find out the latest situation from the Tubo people in the shortest time.

In a valley south of the Nanshan Mountain in Qinghai, a team of soldiers were quickly moving northwest, with an estimated number of more than 10,000 to 20,000 people. The team was disciplined and the process was very orderly, and there was no sound. They were very vigilant. From time to time, there were racial roaming nearby. If anyone with unknown identity was encountered, they would immediately chase and kill him. And kill him!

This is a Tang army led by Su Dingfang, preparing to attack Qinling's camp. Together with Su Qingjie, the Tubo people's nests. The troops led by Su Dingfang can be said to be the most elite of the Tang army. They are disciplined and well-trained, and have long been used to the high-altitude environment and have strong combat effectiveness. Their speed is very fast. Although they set off one day later than Su Qingjie's troops, the distance they are currently traveling farther than Su Qingjie's troops. From a geographical point of view, the two troops are almost running side by side!

Because the two men are almost separated by a mountain, Qinghai Nanshan, the vertical section distance of Qinghai Nanshan is not very long, and the mountain is not very steep. The two men can be used by Su Dingfang through special training, which is similar to the special forces in later generations, exchange information in a timely manner, and make action mobilization based on each other's situation.

It was almost dark, and Su Dingfang commanded his troops to rest in a leeward valley. The army marched and did not set up camp during the night. It can be said that people did not untied their armor and horses did not untied their saddles! This way, they could quickly gather when encountering situations and respond.

Of course, this is very hard, but there is no way. If you want to win the war, achieve the effect of a surprise attack, and not be able to take advantage of the Tubo people, you can react quickly even if you encounter a mutation. This is a must. Su Dingfang has led his troops for many years, and it is common for a quick journey to take a simple rest. I have encountered many more difficult situations than this.

The entire army dismounted and rested, and the guard post was set up immediately. A large number of fixed posts and mobile posts were sent out. The mobile posts were released to the fifteen miles away from the rest area of ​​the Daying, which was enough for the army to respond fully.

It has entered the area controlled by the Tubo people, and Su Dingfang dared not be careless.

When he marched one day, Su Dingfang was tired, and time was not forgiving. General Su, who was over 60 years old, could not afford to eat, and could not bear to marches on the plateau for a long distance. After getting off the horse, he felt soreness in his back and a bit of a cracked buttocks. With the help of his personal guards, he sat down on the simple camp marching bed for him, and immediately ordered someone to press him and ask him to call the heads of the tribes to discuss matters. The battle is imminent, and his body must not collapse. If he, the commander, cannot bear to eat, then it is great not to mention winning the war, whether he can keep this team from defeating.

After a brief press, Su Dingfang felt much more comfortable, and his back felt much less painful. At this time, the generals who were summoned had arrived, just waiting for him to instruct. Just as Su Dingfang stood firm and swept his generals majesticly, preparing to announce the next order, a personal guard hurriedly ran in and presented a letter to Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang frowned and opened it. After seeing the contents clearly, he was filled with joy.

"Everyone!" Su Dingfang, who received the letter, stood up straight, glanced at the generals under his command majesticly, and said loudly: "I received the latest enemy information from General Su on the Northern Front. The Tubo Zanpo's troops have discovered that our army is ready to attack its camp. Zanpo's troops are preparing to meet with Qinling's troops to fight our army together. In order to prevent the Tubo people from gathering more advantageous forces, we have trapped our army in passive action. The general decided to speed up the advance and advance overnight, and strive to arrive at the Tubo camp after dark tomorrow. Attack it at night and send an ambush the Zanpo's troops! The general announced the latest orders of each unit!"

The generals immediately stood up and prepared to accept the latest orders!
Chapter completed!
