Chapter 819: Dividing the Spoils Before the War

For the Tubo people, this year is a complicated year of change, whether it is an alliance with the Li Tang Dynasty, or a fight with Tuyuhun before peace, it makes people feel overwhelmed, but what is even more unexpected is that the invincible Langri Zampu Northern Expedition of the Great Sui Dynasty has been wiped out by the whole army and the fate of father and son.

The 30,000 Sui army invaded Tibet with lightning speed, killing all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life to the point of almost annihilation. If it is said that the camp guarding the north gate of the Jiqu River Valley was broken by a surprise attack by the Sui army, which can be understood as a surprise attack against it, then the Sui army defeated Long Keduo's nearly 100,000 troops with a very small number of troops, which made all the Tubo people feel that the sky was falling apart and the mountains and rivers were discolored......

Regret it?

Ordinary Tibetans do not regret it, because the war is not something they can decide. But the Tubo nobles in the royal city of Luo did regret it, they never thought that Langri Zampu and Tuyuhun, who had more than 200,000 elite soldiers, were not the opponents of the Sui army, and the reaction of the Sui people would be so fierce and ruthless.

At the beginning, these nobles felt that the Tubo army was invincible, invincible, invincible on the plateau, and occupied the most fertile land in the world, the Central Plains Dynasty fought a civil war for more than ten years, which was a god-given opportunity for the brave and fearless Tubo warriors to fight for warm and fertile land from the Sui people, as long as the Sui army was expelled, then the children and grandchildren of the Tubo people could multiply and live in peace and contentment on the fertile land.

Everyone has this heart-

Therefore, whether it is the royal family, the old or new nobles, they are all moved by the argument of Lu Dongzan's palace and fully support the Northern Expedition of Langri Zampu.

But at this moment, when the Sui army came, they began to regret it, not regretting to plunder, but regretting that they chose the wrong opponent, and the enemies they provoked this time were obviously not as weak as the Xiangxiong Kingdom, the Daughter Country, the Big and Small Bolu, the Ni Boluo, the Dang Xiang, and the Tuyuhun, and this time they were obviously kicked to the iron plate.

What's even worse is that not only Langri Zampu and his son Dazan Gampo died, but also the outstanding royal family children such as Kohr and Long Keduo were all killed in battle, and the royal family now does not even have a person who can succeed to the throne.

At the critical moment, the queen of Langri Zampu stood up to take charge of military affairs, this shrewd woman not only succeeded to the throne of Zampu, calling herself the queen of Tibet, but also accepted the second son of Kol, Mangla, the second son of Lu Dongzan, Garqinling as the son, and canonized Mangla as the eldest prince, Garqinling as the little prince, this act for her to pull the royal family and the Geer family, plus the mother's Mengshi, the mother's uncle's family Tunmi, this queen suddenly won the full support of the four major forces in Tibet, everyone is united, The chaotic royal city was settled.

Thankfully, the imposing Sui army seemed to have become the last of the strong crossbows, and they did not take the opportunity to march after winning Long Kedo, but in Long Kedo's military camp as a whole.

After the queen, who was a little relieved, hurriedly ascended the throne, she swept away those who opposed her with lightning speed, and the four major forces that had gained something were even more satisfied. So under the command of the queen, he sent people to various places to dispatch troops; On the one hand, he guided the surrounding departments of the royal city to retreat to the west for refuge, intending to fight with this small Sui army in Luo.

The Tubo monarchs and ministers expected it well, Wang Fubao really didn't want to fight, the loss was the secondary reason, the key was that in the battle with Long Keduo, the prestige of the Great Sui had been played, and the Tubo rout had been achieved, and then it was fought to increase the unnecessary casualties, not only did it not make much sense, but it would be cheap Nong, Ba, Cai Bang and Subi princes.

At this time, in the barracks, the subi prince Mangpojie and the ransomed Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Caibang Suhan were on their way to the barracks, and it had been several days since the Sui army had ceased to fight, but until now, the Sui army had not finished disposing of the corpses of the Tubo people that had been killed.

These people are not people who have never seen the world, but now they look at the corpses all over the mountains, and they are all shocked.

Ba Dian Zebu, Nong Chihuo, and Cai Bang Suhan had seen it once in Domma, but compared to here, it still seemed to be a small thing, and Mang Bojie, a man who had never seen the big world, was already so frightened that his face turned white.

Outside the barracks of the military camp Longkeduo, tens of thousands of Tibetan prisoners dug a huge deep pit and moved all the corpses into the pit under the supervision of the Sui army. And he sprinkled buckets of grease from the various parts on the corpses.

They don't understand, why did the Sui army waste so much grease and bury it for a short time? These oils and fats are all things that the Tibetan people began to hoard in order to survive the winter.

It's just that under the surveillance of the Sui army, whether it is captured or ushered in by the Sui army, Mangpo Jieba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Cai Bang Suhan do not dare to say much, the former according to the Sui army's orders, in the deep and large pit, sprinkled grease on the corpse over and over again to ensure that nothing is missing.

"General, it's almost!" Su Wu climbed up from the pit with a rope and bowed to Wang Fubao.

"Withdraw the soldiers." There was no expression on Wang Fubao's indifferent face.

"Whoa!" Su Wu saluted, then waved his hand and said, "Collect the troops." ”

"Woo woo woo ~ "

A trumpeter blew the horn, and the Sui troops patrolling the pit quickly withdrew from the pit.

Tens of thousands of captives looked up blankly, not understanding what the Sui army was doing.

About a moment or so, all the Sui troops climbed out of the pit, but no Tubo people came out, and some Tubo people wanted to climb up, but they were retreated by the Sui army, and they could only endure the bad smell and watch the Sui army slowly retreat.

"Rocket ready!" Wang Fubao shouted again.

The archers, who had already prepared, quickly drew the greased arrows on the torches, and the outside of the arrow clusters was suddenly wrapped in a ball of fire.

"Target Tubo people, release!" Everything was ready, Wang Fubao shouted.

The soldiers were stunned, but the quality of the soldiers still made them hesitate, and one rocket after another swept up from the ground, with a low roar across a brilliant arc, and fell towards the hole.

The Tubo people in the deep pit finally knew why the pit was dug so big and so deep, and why the Sui army covered the pit with grease.

The roar of anger, unwillingness, hatred, and despair soared into the sky like wolves at this moment, but it could not prevent the sky from falling into this huge pit.

The grease layer was thicker, and some of the rockets fell, leaving only a string of green smoke to extinguish, but more rockets ignited the surrounding grease and hay, and then in a roar of despair and anger, the fire quickly spread through the pit, and in an instant the entire pit was enveloped in flames.

Those Tubo people had smeared grease on the dead bodies for several hours, and they inevitably got a lot of grease on their bodies, and they were almost burning at one o'clock at the moment.

The originally cool afternoon became scorching, even if it was more than ten zhang away from the fire pit, but the Sui army and slave soldiers around were roasted with dry mouths, Wang Fubao ordered the soldiers to withdraw dozens of zhang, and the burning sensation eased slightly.

Soon.

The whole sky was filled with the smell of meat, and in the next period of time, although the army was not bad at eating meat, the soldiers didn't want to look at it, and some even wanted to vomit when they saw the meat.

"Ba Dian Zebu has seen General Wang."

"Nong Chihuo has seen General Wang."

"Cai Bang Su has rarely passed General Wang."

"Mang Bojie has seen General Wang."

Led by the soldiers, the four 'kings' stepped forward one by one and saluted very respectfully.

It's not okay to be disrespectful.

If they make this killing god unhappy, it is estimated that they will "stumble" and fall into the huge fire pit.

Wang Fubao looked at the trembling four 'kings', swept past the three kings who had redeemed themselves, looked at Mang Bojie more, and said with a smile: "The four kings have come from afar, and they must have traveled tirelessly and people are tired. Let's go, let's hurry back to the big tent. I have prepared a banquet for the four kings. ”

The four of them hurriedly said yes together, respectfully.

But I smiled bitterly in my heart.

Smelling the aroma of this human meat barbecue, it's good not to vomit, how can you still eat it?

But they didn't dare to refuse Wang Fubao's proposal, and they didn't want to show their cowardice in front of everyone and be looked down upon by the Sui people.

At the banquet, Wang Fubao, Niu Jinda, and Su Wu smelled the fragrance of human flesh and ate the golden roasted mutton, not to mention how happy. And the four kings were just drinking, and the meat was not sensitive.

Wang Fubao was not reluctant, and said while eating: "Tell the four of you a good news, that is, Langri Zampu and Dazan Gampo father and son will never come back, and the elite soldiers they brought with them will also be slaughtered." Tuyuhun and Dangxiang have also been destroyed, and now the land of Zhuqiang has become the Jiangyuan County of my Great Sui. ”

"Is that true?" The four kings were surprised and delighted.

It was surprising that Langri Zamp was over so quickly, and the joy was also that the terrifying Langri Zamp died.

To be honest, although they decided to go all the way with the Great Sui, they were still quite scared of Langri Zampu. Now that he has received the news that the father and son of Lang Ri Zamp have died and the entire army has been wiped out, the last worries have been swept away.

"Nature." Wang Fubao nodded, and said with a smile to Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Cai Bang Suhan: "You should know the strength of the Great Sui. ”

The three kings nodded hurriedly, they hadn't paid the ransom at the beginning, Yang Tong not only did not put them back in Tubo, but also brought them to the battlefield, and saw with his own eyes the destruction of Lu Dongzan's army, so he believed in Wang Fubao's words, and at that time, he completely lost the heart to resist the Great Sui, and after he came back, according to Yang Tong's regulations, he set up four generals under his command, each with 5,000 people.

Wang Fubao continued: "We sent troops this time to be ordered by the Holy God to wipe out the stubborn resistance of Tubo, so that the four of you can successfully establish the country. ”

"That's true." Ba Dianzebu nodded and said: "As far as I know, although the queen has the support of several nobles in Tibet, because the main force is lost, there are less than 10,000 elite soldiers in the royal city, and another 10,000, and the western defense of Zhangxiong Kingdom, if they transfer these 10,000 people back, the Zhangxiong King will definitely be in a no-man's land." ”

Wang Fubao said: "The task of my Great Sui army is to attract the main force of Tubo to come over and give Tubo the heaviest blow, from the current point of view, our task has been completed, and it is up to you next." ”

The kings showed excitement on their faces, they were originally Suvi people, although they belonged to Tubo, but after all, they had not been a few years old, and they did not have a high sense of identity with the Tubo Kingdom to be deterred by force, and the plundering nature in their bones had not been extinguished. They came to meet Wang Fubao so actively, in addition to currying favor, there was also a big thing, that is, they hoped that they could also participate in the conquest of Tibet, so as to obtain more resources.

If Wang Fubao didn't agree, then they would definitely not get anything, but fortunately, Wang Fubao took the initiative to say it, which made the four kings extremely excited.

Wang Fubao saw through their thoughts, but he didn't provoke them in person, and only said lightly: "The next battle will be fought by your four kingdoms, and every time you break it, you will burn its tents, take all its cattle, sheep, livestock and slaves, and kill all its chieftains." Seventy percent of the wealth, cattle, sheep, and slaves plundered by your four kingdoms will be taken by my Great Sui, and the remaining thirty percent will belong to you. ”

He didn't believe that these four men dared to object.

Really.

As soon as they heard Wang Fubao's conditions, they all let out a roar of excitement like a beast. After all, in the next battle, even without their participation, Da Sui can destroy everything and crush everything, in their imagination, it is already a great luck to give an achievement, who would have thought that Wang Fubao would be so generous.

"I'd like to make a point on the other hand."

"General Wang, please speak."

"After the end of the war, with the royal city of Luo as the center, the surrounding area of a hundred miles is the land of the Great Sui, and your people cannot graze cattle within this range, nor can you let your soldiers enter, otherwise, it will be regarded as entering the Great Sui." Wang Fubao's eyes were blazing, he looked around for a week, and the four kings trembled in his heart, and suddenly smiled again: "It's not that my Great Sui wants to station a large army here, but that my Great Sui wants to set up the headquarters of the Southern Silk Road Alliance here, not only send envoys to sit in the royal city, but also set up a field here, increase trade between each other, and send bachelors to come to Luo, set up the Great Sui Academy, teach children from all over the world to read and write, learn the Great Sui culture, and the etiquette of the Great Sui!" If your children succeed in their studies, they will not be embarrassed and looked down upon by others when they enter the court and worship in the future. ”

In their minds, the Great Sui is a glorious cultural paradise, a place where saints haunt, and they all yearn for it, and the Tibetan nobles are even more proud of speaking Chinese, if their children can learn fluent Chinese and exquisite Sinology nearby, it is really amazing.

Even Mang Bojie widened his eyes, and asked in a heavy breathing urn, "General Wang, is this true?" ”

"This is the will of God, and I have nothing to say!" Wang Fubao said: "In fact, we have also established a Great Sui Cultural Palace at the headquarters of the Silk Road Alliance in the Western Regions, and the children of princes and ministers of various countries are learning Chinese characters, poetry, Chinese etiquette in the palace, and some of the children of the nobility are not worse than the Sui people. Last year, the ten sons of the Western Regions wrote a poem at the state banquet, and Prince Guici was appointed as the first place by the saint, not to mention the fame in the world, and many great Confucians rushed to accept him as an apprentice. ”

Although the four kings don't know who the Great Confucian is and what the level is, but the gold content of the Great Confucian in this era is not small, and it gives people the feeling that they are all high in existence.

After all, they are all fathers, who doesn't want their children to be famous all over the world? Who doesn't want their children to be rushed to be accepted as apprentices by the great Confucians of the Celestial Empire?

They all can't wait.

Ba Wang couldn't help but destroy Tubo quickly, and then the Great Sui opened the school palace to Luo, and let his children become talented as soon as possible.
