Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

The war against Japan ended so quickly that when Daleha, who was attacking Goguryeo, received the news, he was already beaming with joy.

Despite the combined forces of the Right Dragon Guard, the Left and Right Guards, and the Azure Wolf Cavalry, totaling over 200,000 troops, they failed to make any decisive progress against Goguryeo, resulting in the destruction of the Wa kingdom.

what is this?

Does that mean Daleha is incompetent?

"Marshal Sun is truly a military genius! He just keeps pushing forward, slaughtering and devouring wherever he goes!"

After looking at the marching routes of Sun Xiangzhou's three armies marked on the Japanese map, Daleha put his hand to his forehead.

"Forget it, His Majesty has not given any indication that this method of attacking a country and annihilating its people is not suitable for attacking Goguryeo."

"Someone, I will write a letter and send it to Grand Marshal Sun Xiangzhou, inviting him to attack Silla and Baekje."

Half a month later, Sun Xiangzhou received a letter from Daleha, whose messenger and the army escorting the prisoners back to Luoyang had already returned to Tang territory.

After leaving Wang Jinghui's 100,000 Right Eagle Guard troops to guard Japan, launch campaigns, and survey various mines in Japan, he turned around and led 50,000 Golden Tent Guards and 100,000 Left Eagle Guard troops to the Korean Peninsula in batches by ship.

In the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, Silla and Baekje had gradually grown stronger, but their growth was only relative to that of Goguryeo.

Far away in Luoyang, the capital city, Li Cunxi had a very comfortable New Year, with good news coming from all three sides.

Wang Xiaojie led a total of 200,000 troops, including the Right Guard and the Left and Right Valiant Guards, and decisively defeated the 50,000 troops that the Qinu had hastily dispatched from Songzhou. He then drove straight in and attacked into the heart of the Tubo territory.

Under the instigation of Yu Zhou, Qi Nu Xi decided to personally lead the army and hastily mobilized troops from various places to Hongji City, a military stronghold, to prepare to resist Wang Xiaojie's attack.

Although Yu Zhou was still the Grand Chancellor of Tibet, Qi Nuxi did not completely relinquish power to him. In addition to Bakri, he found three other deputy chancellors to check and balance his position as Grand Chancellor of Tibet.

Guo Yuanzhen, the Left Guard of Youzhou, Quan Shancai, the Left Guard of Dunhuang, and Li Bushang, the Khitan cavalry, marched through the Hexi Corridor and launched a surprise attack on Yangtong, severely damaging the local garrison. The defeated army retreated to the Supi area, where they joined forces with the local garrison and confronted the Tang army.

The army stationed in Shibao City dared not move rashly. When Guo Yuanzhen and Quan Shancai's army approached the Supi area, they sent someone to deliver a message to Qinuxi.

At this moment, Qi Nuxi was standing on the city wall of Hongji City, looking down at the military camps stretching for more than ten miles in the distance, his expression not good.

The Tibetan generals behind him also looked troubled.

They had initially prepared to launch a surprise attack on the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty seemed to know their intentions directly and dispatched Wang Xiaojie to Songzhou, catching them off guard.

In order to prevent their losses from increasing, Qi Nu Xi gathered his army and retreated to Hong Ji City.

Retreating to this point means they have nowhere else to go.

If they lose one last battle, the road directly to Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, will be opened.

Qi Nuxi was secretly annoyed at himself for being a step too slow, while keeping an eye on the Tang army camp opposite him.

Before long, a troop of soldiers charged out from the Tang army camp, their banners bearing the words "Grand Marshal Wang of the Jiannan Road Army of the Great Tang Dynasty".

"Your Majesty, it's Wang Xiaojie!" a general exclaimed.

Qi Nu closed his eyes, a surge of anger rushing to his brain.

"It's him again, how annoying!"

"Back then, I spared his life because he looked so much like my late father. Now he dares to invade our Tibet and even come right up to me. This is truly outrageous!"

Qi Nu clenched his fists, his boundless rage about to consume his reason.

Wang Xiaojie spotted the group of Qi Nuxi being surrounded from afar. Although he didn't know their identities, it was clear that someone who was armed and surrounded by people must be at least a high-ranking general.

"Keep your firearms safe. If you get close, let them know how powerful we are!"

After Wang Xiaojie finished speaking, he smiled and took a little closer to the front.

Once the arrows were out of range, Wang Xiaojie stopped and stood there to observe.

"Damn it, if we got any closer, we could have shot that thief dead with one arrow!"

One of the generals was indignant, raising his bow and arrow and then lowering it again.

Clearly, Wang Xiaojie was still wary of them, standing three hundred paces away, so even if they aimed perfectly, they wouldn't be able to hit him.

Wang Xiaojie looked up again and again, remembering that the Tibetan king, Qinuxi, had personally arrived in Hongji City. He decided to disregard whether the person being surrounded was Qinuxi or not, and immediately clasped his hands in greeting.

"Wang Xiaojie, Grand Marshal of the Jiannan Road Army of the Great Tang Dynasty, pays respects to the Tibetan Emperor!"

Qi Nuxi frowned, about to speak, but then remembered that Wang Xiaojie had last seen him more than ten years ago and would not remember what he looked like. So he reached out and pinched the young general next to him.

The young general understood immediately, took a step forward, stood tall and looked down at Wang Xiaojie.

"Years have passed since we last met. General Wang, are you well?"

Wang Xiaojie cupped his hands in greeting: "I am indeed well, but..."

He reached out and pressed down the eager young officer beside him, then shouted upwards:

"You are not Qinu Xizanpu!"

"Although you appear glamorous on the surface, you lack the innate nobility that Qinu Xizanpu possesses!"

"Let's invite the real Qinu Xizanpu to come out and meet us!"

The young player's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately regained his composure.

"General Wang, how can you not recognize me?"

"Back then, when General Wang's army suffered a crushing defeat and was captured and brought before me, I still spared your life!"

"How many years have passed, and you've already forgotten me?"

Despite being publicly confronted on a sensitive topic, Wang Xiaojie did not break down.

At this moment, he realized even more clearly that the one above could absolutely not be a crossbow!

"I, the Great Marshal, will not speak to an unknown person like you. Please invite King Chinusic Zanpu out."

"Old friends are like fallen leaves in the wind; what's wrong with seeing each other one last time before the final battle?"

The young general was about to say a few more words when he was pulled back by the crossbow bolt.

The young Tibetan king stepped forward and stared intently at Wang Xiaojie's scarred face.

Wang Xiaojie carefully examined the weapons and bowed respectfully.

"I have seen the Qinu Xizanpu!"

Then, he lowered his voice and said, "Remember this face. When you launch a surprise attack, make sure you don't kill him."

On the city wall, Qi Nuxi stared at Wang Xiaojie, speechless for a long time.

After a long silence, he suppressed his displeasure and asked:

"General Wang, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty broke the alliance and ordered you to attack my Tibet. Didn't you think about the consequences?"

"If you find yourself in a situation where you cannot conquer the enemy after a prolonged siege, or suffer a crushing defeat like you did back then, how will the Emperor of Tang cope?"

Wang Xiaojie held his head high, remaining completely calm.

"We generals only know how to do our own job well, and we don't care about anything else."

"As for the matter of breaking the alliance..."

"Does the Zanpu really not know what Barkley is going to do in the Tang Dynasty?"

"With such a high-profile investigation into the inner workings of our Great Tang, I'm afraid the Zanpu (Tibetan king) is also prepared to attack our Great Tang at any time?"
