The loss of my mountain makes my livestock unrest. The loss of my mountain makes my women lose their color. The soldiers in Tubo, Liangzhou, came to ride listlessly on the horse, listening to the scout behind him humming the songs handed down by the ancient Huns.

The majestic and green Rouge Mountain lies between Ganzhou and Liangzhou. The forests and seas are pine waves on the mountain, the ravines and ravines are crisscrossing at the mountain, and the roe deer, badgers and sheep are everywhere. It is the natural dividing line between Ganzhou Uighurs and Liangzhou Tubo. Some days ago, I heard that the Ganzhou Uighurs were defeated by the Han army. The governor of the Guiyi Army of Shazhou fled. The leader of the Tubo in Liangzhou and the governor of the Hexi Army of the court was happy to see the hunting. He sent troops across Yanzhi Mountain, intending to expand the territory and open the border. Even if it was not good, he would snatch some discrete Han households back to Liangzhou. Who knew that he was hit head-on by the Han cavalry.

In the report to Chen De, the commander of the Cavalry Army only said in an understatement that the Tubo cavalry who was about to invade "telled a lesson", and the Tubo cavalry in Liangzhou was still "restless", which was a completely humble statement. The fact is that the cavalry army under Xin Gu concentrated the largest number of old camps of Lanzhou Cavalry and grassland warriors, while Xin Gu himself was a horse thief, and only wanted results when fighting, and did nothing. When the first started, the Tubo cavalry dared to assemble a large number of more than a thousand people to invade. The cavalry army fought with a strict formation, and was stirred up all the way, and it was like destroying the dead.

Their battles were defeated, and the cavalry were cautious because of the famous reputation of the Tubo cavalry during the Tang Dynasty. Later, even the Han cavalry team dared to attack the Tubo cavalry. The grassland sergeants who were used to scattered wars were everywhere and roamed in the plains under Yanzhi Mountain. These people had already tried their best in the battle against the grassland tribes for the grassland. At this moment, they treated Liangzhou Tubo as another tribe competing for the grassland. With constant harassment, they forced the Tubo tribes that were close to Yanzhi Mountain to grazing hundreds of miles south.

Because the military rations in the front were only self-sufficient, and Chen De did not issue a special order to capture prisoners. The soldiers thought it was too troublesome to carry prisoners and were worried that they would be tried by military law for killing prisoners without any killing. So the centurion in front made his own decision and beat the Liangzhou prisoners and released them. He cut off all his noses as a note before releasing them. At the same time, he cut off his left and right thumbs and index fingers so that he could no longer take a knife or shoot arrows. After the army pacified Liangzhou, he would catch these Liangzhou soldiers without noses and fingers for trial. As soon as these prisoners were released, they immediately caused great fear in the Tubo of Liangzhou. The previous battle reports were reported to Xin Gu. Xin Gu knew that although Chen De was very ruthless, he had to take reason in everything. He had never liked to hurt the prisoners for no reason, so he suppressed the matter of the disabled prisoners. When reporting, he just said "a lesson".

The Tubo people had civil strife since the end of the Tang Dynasty. On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they were divided into hundreds of powerful men to attack and kill each other, and they had long lost the fierce aura of fighting with the Tang Dynasty for the world. The Liugu tribe of Tubo in Liangzhou was just a loose tribal consortium, and its neat combat power was not as good as that of the Ganzhou Uighurs and Xiazhou Dangxiang. After the head-on attack by the Cavalry Army, they immediately became frightened birds. Not only did they dare to send troops to provoke over Yanzhi Mountain, but they also kept asking for help from Lingzhou City where the imperial guards of the Central Plains were stationed.

"It's so unlucky!" Lai Lijia shook his head and sighed. The thousands of cavalry who attacked Liangzhou one after another came back intact. The styles of these Han troops and the Central Plains court army were completely different. Once the invading Tubo cavalry was targeted, they would linger and fight, and they would rob a few Han people and burn a few villages. As for? But the Tubo cavalry was always defeated by their hands. Lai Lijia had fought with those Han cavalry, but the Han cavalry wouldn't it?

But the armor and equipment were sophisticated, and the formation was as strict as the Han people, the war horses were as good as the Uighurs, and the tactics were as cunning as the grassland people. This battle was really impossible to fight. After a few tentative attacks, the Tubo in Liangzhou completely gave up the idea of ​​invading Ganzhou and turned to defend westward with all his might. As one of the few Tubo commanders who survived from the Lanzhou Cavalry Army, he was assigned to the task of leading scouts in the eastern foot of the Yanzhi Mountain.

He said he was a scout, but he did not dare to lead his troops into the foothills of Yanzhi Mountain, nor did he dare to cross the Yanzhi Mountain and go deep into the territory of Ganzhou. Every day, he just took more than a hundred cavalry under his command and wandered around Yanzhi Mountain near Liangzhou.

"Master Bengu, is the Han army really so powerful? I see that the Lingzhou government army is still good at defending the city. If we really want to go out of the city to fight, we can't do anything to us?" Yu Dan, a cavalryman in his early twenties, asked without hesitation while playing with horse reins bored. He was a little suspicious that this thin-looking man named Lizhao was hollowed out by wine, so that those Han people who farmed with hoes all year round were stronger than him. Although the Tubo tribe in Liangzhou adopted Han people, they were still aristocratic in nature. Yu Dan had noble blood and was not very polite to talk to Shangguan.

"Hmph, is it amazing or not? If you meet them, you will know." For such a rookie who is just starting out on the battlefield, Lai Likawa is too lazy to see him. This kind of person is probably going to die in the first encounter and does not respect the veterans. Lai Likawa now considers him a dead person.

Yu Dan heard Li Ka's tone that was not good, and stopped talking and sneered repeatedly. The Tubo army was brave and powerful. Although Li Ka was only about forty, in his eyes, he was already in a dilemma. Fortunately, he still had the face to lead more than a hundred heroes riding horses and bent their bows. While thinking, a cold arrow suddenly shot out from the forest ahead, and it was inserted into his throat. Yu Dan covered his throat, his eyes wide open with an unbelievable look, and he fell off the horse with a thud.

"Enemy attack!" The Tubo scout team, who was suddenly ambushed, shouted loudly. The young warriors pulled out their scimitars and rode their war horses. Several of them could not contain the anger in their hearts and rushed towards the arrow-shooting forest. Lai Lizhao and several veterans stopped their horses and determined that the number of arrows in the enemy was hundreds of. Lai Lizhao shouted loudly: "What are you looking at me? The enemy is so numerous, we are so few, retreat quickly, retreat quickly!" Regardless of those comrades who had already rushed forward, they led dozens of veterans to drive horses to and from the road.

Lai Lizhao rode his horse and looked back to peek. He saw countless cavalry rushing out of the foothills. Many cavalry were wearing grassland-style left-hand leather robes, and the Uighur scouts who rushed forward were shot down from the rain in the first three rounds of arrows. Judging from the continuous posture of the enemy's cavalry, there were thousands of cavalry. It seemed that Chen De was about to fight against Liangzhou, so he had to report the news back to Master Zhe Gezhi. Lai Lizhao desperately beat the horse and fled eastward.

"How can the Tubo in Liangzhou, which cannot be looked down upon by the generals, be so vulnerable? It is not as fierce as the Mongolian tribes on the grasslands." Pu Hangu, the centurion of Gaoti Camp, was quite puzzled. Could it be that these people are just ordinary tribal soldiers? He was unwilling to care about these. In the past, in order to rectify the Hexi vassal states, Chen De restrained the Cavalry Army and did not allow it to cross Yanzhi Mountain. At this moment, the entire Cavalry Army, as the forerunner of Chen De's army, was responsible for clearing the road ahead of Liangzhou City, and naturally went forward.

"Chasing, chase to the city of Liangzhou and take off his grandmother's pants." Pu Hangu shouted loudly, raised his horse spear and pointed directly at the direction where the Tubo people retreated. In recent times, this sharp horse spear drank less blood, which made him feel a little regretful. The armor and weapons of Tubo in Liangzhou are much sharper than those of the Mongolian tribe on the grassland. Apart from the first and second battles, they are unwilling to fight against the Cavalry Army openly. So far,

The Tubo cavalry killed by the Cavalry Army also shot a lot. Don’t you know that our Cavalry Army is good at riding and shooting, and your shooting skills are not as good as ours. Are you still profitable when fighting in close combat? Pu Hangu shook his head. In this world, the army that capitalizes his own lives is only one of them. With a cheap life like the Liangzhou soldiers, what they earn is not yours, but they are robbed privately. No wonder they are brave enough to rob and be afraid of public war.

Lai Li Kao didn't care about watching the cavalry of Hexi, who came from the mountains and fields, desperately struggling to escape. The wind whistled in his ears, with a sharp whistle of arrows. This chirping is a common thing for the cavalry of the vassal states. It is used by the commanders to shoot out to guide the direction for the cavalry of the rear team. Each commander made a different sound. The cavalry below could hear it clearly. The Central Plains army often used the golden drum flag to send orders, but did not often use this chirping. The sound of chirping behind him was chased continuously. Lai Li Kao felt creepy fear in his heart. He took out a dagger and stabbed it on the horse's thigh with one knife. The horse neighed in pain and ran forward with a long hooves. The sound of chirping behind him gradually became far away.

In a panic, Lai Lizhao ran to Liangzhouzhou City along the official road. The horse was stabbed by his dagger. After running for a while, the blood gradually flowed out. As he seemed to be slower and slower, he was about to fail. Lai Lizhao was anxious. He looked around from afar, but fortunately there was a Tubo army station not far away. At least, it drove the half-dead horse to the entrance of the station, and made a full stand and shouted loudly: "There is an important military information to report to the Jiedushi, please bring the Yima here and use it, and then add some dried meat to eat water."

Liangzhou is only a few hundred miles away. The original purpose of this post station was to receive foreign countries from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, and to collect heavy taxes. The post station chief was a Han Chinese, but he recognized these warriors under the command of the Jiedushi Jiedushi. Seeing the appearance of a sarcastic bully, he did not dare to neglect it. He quickly led a good horse and said, "Sir, please forgive me, the minor official will prepare food, water and other things." After that, he turned around and collected the supply.

Lai Lizhao was waiting outside the post station impatiently. Soon, more and more Tubo cavalry gathered in front of the post station for supplies, and each of his war horses was running and spitting white foam. He heard that the cavalry of the Hexi Han army had been creeping behind and chasing him. As soon as he was about to arrive, Lai Lizhao felt even more anxious. When he saw the post station chief arranged for the post station to hold a large plate of dried meat and the water bag came out, Lai Lizhao's face suddenly changed and asked, "How many horses are there in the post station?" He held the hilt of the knife in his hand, and his eyes were full of fierce light.

Note: The Liugu tribe is a tribal group composed mainly of Tubo people, also known as the "Liugu Fan tribe" or "Liugu Fan tribe". After the collapse of Tubo in 842, it gradually formed in Liangzhou, Hexi (Xiliang Prefecture, now Wuwei, Gansu). It was the main active force of the Five Dynasties and the early Song Dynasty. The Liugu tribe is a settlement of six valleys near Liangzhou, dominated by Yangfei Valley, hence the name.

In ancient Liangzhou, it reached the east of the ancient Yuanzhou, 350 miles to the south of Xueshan, Tuyuhun, Lanzhou, 600 miles to the west of the Ganzhou Tongcheng, and 300 miles to the north of the tribe. It returned to Pingchuan for two thousand miles. It was the old leader of Guzang, Shenwu, Fanhe, Changsong and Jialin for five counties, with 25,693 households and 128,193 mouths. There are now 300 Han residents. The city is 15 miles away, like a phoenix. It is said that Li Gui was the old ruler. They all said that Longbo said that he was the general of Anyuan.
