Chapter 789: Virtue is not worthy
Lu Dongzan is a rare genius and wise man in Tibet, like all aliens, he yearns for the Central Plains with a prosperous culture, but the other side of the yearning is jealousy, wanting to take it as his own; Especially when he went to Luoyang, Luoyang's prosperity made him envious and jealous.
Why should they only live in the barren land of the miserable wind and snow? Why were the Sui people born to occupy the warmest and most fertile land in the world?
Lu Dongzan believes that because the Sui Dynasty occupies the most fertile land in the world, even if the world is turbulent and war-tortuous, Yang Tong can manage the Sui Dynasty to be prosperous and powerful in the world, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. If this kind of great turmoil and great war that swept the whole country happened on the Tibetan Plateau, I am afraid that it would not be able to recover its vitality for 500 years...... Therefore, after returning from the mission, he used his eloquence to do his best to render the wealth of the Central Plains, and analyzed with extraordinary wisdom that now is the best period for Tubo to enter the Central Plains, if the Sui Dynasty reunifies the Central Plains, and goes all out to the outside world, the thriving Tubo will become the first enemy of the Sui Dynasty, not only can not obtain the good country of the Central Plains, but even survival is difficult, just because the Sui Dynasty will never allow a fierce tiger around them, even if they don't look down on the barren Tubo Plateau, they will treat the Turks like that, cut the inner sorrow of Tubo into pieces.
Lu Dongzan's theory was unanimously endorsed by Tubo sages such as Niang Shangnang and Tunmi Sambuza, and together they persuaded Langri Zampu to change Tubo from a side to a participant in the division of the Central Plains.
They made peace with the Li Tang Dynasty, although they wanted to think more about their allies, but the focus was still on the craftsmen who coveted the essence of civilization in the Central Plains, hoping to obtain the advanced farming, medical skills, smelting and other skills and craftsmanship of the Central Plains from the hands of the Li Tang Dynasty.
Today's everything is developing in a good direction, but these guys who have changed from tribal leaders to Tubo generals are pig-brained, short-sighted, selfish, and unwilling to send troops for the sake of a little profit in front of them.
"Urgent!"
The more Lu Dongzan thought about it, the more angry he became, and was about to use their own vested interests as a guide to tell them that they had a strong relationship, when a young soldier who did not know how long he had been dead broke in and said loudly: "General Geer, General Cole is surrounded by enemy troops and the whole army is annihilated; Tens of thousands of Sui troops slaughtered south of the Doma Valley and occupied our barracks. ”
"What? On the annihilation of Cole's army? ”
"Nonsense, the Sui army only has 30,000 soldiers, and Ronkoer is one of the bravest warriors in my Tibet, and his army is also the most warlike warrior in our Tibet, how can the whole army be wiped out?"
"Yes, even if you meet 100,000 Sui troops, you can't stop him."
“……”
"Shut up!" Lu Dongzan was furious, kicked the case, stepped forward a few steps, pulled out his war knife and slashed at the neck of a general who was called the most ruthless, the general screamed, fell into the fire, and struggled a few times before there was no movement.
The sudden scene stunned all the generals in the tent, and everyone looked at Lu Dongzan in a daze, wondering why he was so angry.
"As you wish, Doma is lost, just wait for the hooves of the Sui army to trample on the Tibetan grassland and kill your children." Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said.
The generals were silent.
Seeing these unruly guys suddenly become honest, Lu Dongzan, who lost his temper, was stunned, but he woke up in an instant.
In the final analysis, it was because Lu Dongzan was too young and lacked prestige, and it was difficult to convince the public.
His fame was only spread among the high-level people in Tibet, and the older generation led by Langri Zampu did not despise him because of his youth. But in the eyes of these unruly generals, he Lu Dongzan is just an incompetent person who relies on his ancestors Yu Yin to ascend to the top, and he is a disobedient person who serves yin with yang; And out of consideration for the overall situation, he blindly treated them softly, which backfired and fueled their arrogance
The reason why the generals are here and refuse to leave is that they want to get more benefits, but more, I am afraid that they will not accept him as the main general. Until he showed his iron-blooded and vicious side, these people finally knew that they were afraid, and finally he was the same thing.
Lu Dongzan, who understood, looked at the soldiers who came to report and asked, "On Ke'er has 50,000 soldiers and the Sui army only has 30,000, how could he fall into the siege, and how did the whole army be annihilated?" ”
"The Sui army not only has 30,000 people, but also 70,000 ......" The soldiers who came to report did not dare to deceive Lu Dongzan, and told everything they knew with a bitter face.
"It seems that Emperor Sui, like us, planned to break through from the western battlefield, but Kol didn't know the reality of the enemy's army, so he strayed into the Doma Valley and fell into the trick of luring the enemy into depth." Lu Dongzan looked at these generals with hatred, if it weren't for these people deliberately delaying, he wouldn't have suffered such a defeat, if it weren't for the fear of causing infighting, he really wanted to cut down a few more generals with trouble.
"How many of the Sui army occupied our camp?" Lu Dongzan asked again.
"There are only more than 10,000 Sui troops who occupied the camp, and these people have blood stains on their bodies, so they should have gone south directly after annihilating the soldiers of Zhongji. Later, a few more came, estimated at 30,000 people. The messenger soldier hurriedly said.
Lu Dongzan's heart sank, the stone was closed, Yang Tong let them fold 30,000 elite soldiers, and now another 50,000 have entered Doma, is the next step to kill Benluo directly? However, the 50,000 elite soldiers led by Cole are stronger than the soldiers of Langri Zampu, and these Bon believers are not afraid of death when they fight, and the Sui army annihilates them, I am afraid that their own losses are not small.
"Are you sure that only 30,000 people in the Sui army entered the camp?" Lu Dongzan asked not very easily.
The soldier busied. "Before I came, there were really only so many, but I don't know if it continued to increase later."
Lu Dongzan thought in his heart, if it was only 30,000, he would not be afraid.
This soldier first participated in the Sui army of 70,000, after the end of the war, only 30,000 Sui troops entered the camp of Tubo successively, so the Sui army in the siege and annihilation of Doma Town, there were also 40,000 soldiers or wounded, or killed, or cleaned the battlefield, and in terms of Kore's strength and combat power, it is more reasonable for the Sui army to have this loss.
They need to firmly occupy the strategic point of the Domana Valley, with only 30,000 men, and there is no threat to the hinterland of Tibet for the time being.
Lu Dongzan was worried that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty had already sent a main force to come, and if the main force of the other party arrived in Doma, then the Sui army could send a partial division of 20,000 or 30,000 people to kill Luo.
The plan for now is to recapture the Doma camp at any cost before the main force of the Sui army arrives.
Determined, Lu Dongzan said to the generals: "Doma is the east gate of our Tubo, it is very important to everyone in Tubo, if we completely lose it, the Sui cavalry can enter the hinterland of Tubo at any time, and you can kill wherever you want, so I am ready to do my best to recapture Doma, I hope everyone will be of the same heart with me." You should know Zamp's methods. ”
"Pass my order, and the whole army will send troops even late. If someone pushes back, you're not the only one who will die. "Lu Dongzan, who knew that he was not worthy of his virtue, had to give a 'fox fake tiger might' to the public.
"The last will obey."
Thinking of Langri Zampu's methods, the generals felt chills in their hearts.
One by one, they got up honestly and cooperated with the mobilization of their respective clan soldiers.
The camp in Tibet was simple, and even the military rations could walk on their own, and as long as the tents were collected, they could march.
Ready, an army of 70,000 braved an icy blizzard, shivered in the icy cold wind, and rode westward.
。。。。。。。。。
In the southern valley of Domana, after the Sui army occupied the Tubo camp, it did not move in, but dismantled it to the east bank of the Yellow River, and set up a camp fence and a ditch to prevent the Tubo army from coming from the east to go north to Doma Town along the east bank of the Yellow River, and in order to facilitate the Tubo army to attack the camp, Wang Fubao, who set up the camp, also piled up the soil and mountains in front of the camp into a flood and retreated, leaving the small lake and swamp to be filled into flat land. Make the radius of several miles all over the knee loess flat, after the flat is made, and then attract the Yellow River water to water it to the end, if the cavalry trample back and forth, it will become a very difficult swamp.
Speaking of which, this method is still Wang Fubao learned from Dou Jiande, when the brothers were still serving under Gao Shida, Zhuo County Tongshou Guo Xuan led 10,000 elite cavalry to the south to suppress, Gao Tuda ordered the army Sima Dou Jiande to lead the troops to resist, and decided to use the method of fraudulent surrender.
Dou Jiande led 7,000 elite soldiers, pretending to break away from Gao Shida and surrender to Guo Xuan; Gao Shida pretended to be angry and beheaded several criminals, claiming to have killed Dou Jiande's relatives and friends. But Guo Xuan knew it, pretended to be a plan, and won Dou Jiande for a while. In the face of Guo Xuan's cavalry, Dou Jiande led them to the swamp covered with loess to fight, the horse's hooves fell into the mud, unable to extricate themselves, Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses suddenly attacked, defeated the Sui army, Guo Xuan led the troops to flee. Dou Jiande led his troops in fierce pursuit and killed him in the plains, and the Sui army of Zhuojun was defeated.
When Yang Tong decided to lure the enemy to attack with a camp, Wang Fubao offered this method of trapping the enemy in the mud pit.
Night.
Piles of bonfires were lit in the camp of the Sui army, Yang Tong ordered the slaughter of 20,000 sheep, rewarded the three armies, and because the weather was too cold, he also made an exception to move out 2,000 jars of Tibetan barley wine; The Xuanjia Army, the First Army Xiaoguo Army, the Ninth Army, and the Qiang Army, totaling 70,000 people, happily enjoyed the joy of victory.
In the snow in front of the big tent, Yang Tong held a celebration banquet for thousands of soldiers who had made great contributions.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
In front of the tent, Yang Tong, who was in the spotlight, stood up, raised the wine bottle in his hand, and the snow in front of the tent was quiet for a moment, only to hear Yang Dong's voice echoing in the snow: "In today's battle, our army killed more than 30,000 enemies, captured more than 12,000 people, and the 50,000 Tubo army led by Keer did not fall, this is the most complete annihilation of the whole army. At the time of our victory, we must not forget the 5,184 soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, the first glass of wine, salute the fallen soldiers, may their souls rest in peace. ”
After speaking, Yang Tong slowly poured the wine on the ground, and thousands of soldiers got up and poured the skins full of barley wine on the ground one after another.
At this time, Yang Tong said loudly to everyone: "The commander who commanded the whole army to achieve today's great victory is General Wang Fubao, the commander of the Ninth Army. My second cup of wine should be given to the first general of this battle, General Wang. ”
"The last general, thank you for the praise of the Holy Lord." Wang Fubao hurriedly got up and walked from the back of his seat to the middle passage to salute, his face flushed with excitement.
The generals nearby saw that his face was flushed, and suddenly there was a laugh of understanding, and Yang Tong couldn't help but laugh when he saw such a wise and brave general so restrained.
At that time, he was ordered to go north to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, and defeated the Hebei coalition army led by Dou Jiande in Wude Mountain, this general pretended to be Dou Jiande in the chaotic army, so that Dou Jiande escaped, but he himself was tragically beaten by himself, Qin Qiong, and Luo Shixin in turn, and was finally outnumbered and captured alive.
In the past, the enemy who fought and died to the death, but now he has become the commander of the Ninth Army of the Great Sui, this world, it is really wonderful, he handed the wine bottle in his hand to Wang Fubao, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is rewarded to you, you can drink it!" ”
"Thank you." Wang Fubao took the wine bottle and found that it was unusually heavy, not to mention two catties, and he thanked him. He drank it all, then turned the wine bottle down and showed it around, and the soldiers around applauded, "General Wang has a good amount of wine!" ”
Yang Tong was slightly stunned, he actually just let Wang Fubao mean it, but he didn't expect him to really do it in one bite, he was too upright, fortunately he was not a hero, otherwise, he would definitely fall in three steps.
Yang Tong took back the wine bottle, filled it again, and said in a loud voice: "This third bottle, I respect all of you here and all the Great Sui Predators!" ”
"Thank you!"
Halfway through the wine, Wang Fubao, who was poured by the generals, was the same as someone who was fine.
Yang Tong couldn't resist it, although the barley wine in Tubo was not high, but everyone respected him first, and then Wang Fubao, which was really unbearable. Before the celebration feast was over, he became a deserter because of his strength.
Before leaving, he whispered a gesture to the next few commanders.
The generals willed, and not long after Yang Tong left, they also left one by one under the pretext of changing clothes, and quietly came to Yang Tong's big tent.
Yang Tong's marching tent is three rooms and three entrances, discussing matters outside, dealing with official business in the middle, and the back tent is a sleeping tent.
When Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, and Wang Fubao walked into the big tent, Yang Tong was soaking his feet.
It is quite rude for the host to receive guests and subordinates when soaking his feet, but on the other hand, it is also a manifestation of closeness, and how can the generals who march and fight care about this, so everyone is not displeased, but calmly finds the right seat and sits down.
Yang Tong, who was half-drunk and half-awake, slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Did you say that Lu Dongzan would come?" ”
This question was brainless, but the three generals all knew what Yang Tong meant, and Pei Xingyan, who had the highest status, immediately replied: "Doma is like the four passes in the pass, one pass is lost, and it is difficult to protect the pass." In the same way, Thomas was lost, and Tibet was uneasy, Lu Dongzan could not afford this crime, and he had more than 70,000 elite soldiers in his hands. The Admiral thought he would rush to battle in an attempt to recapture Dom. ”
"What General Pei said is the reason why Lu Dongzan has to fight." Wang Fubao continued: "In addition, the last general has a few points to add: first, our 30,000 soldiers marched south to fight without washing their clothes, creating a false impression that the troops were insufficient and they rushed south; Secondly, the whole army sang and celebrated, and Lu Dongzan must have thought that we were careless about the enemy; Thirdly, our battalion is particularly heavily defensive, and he certainly would not have expected us to take the initiative to attack and attack halfway. In fact, with the current strength of our army, even if the surprise attack fails, the Tubo army will not be able to turn the sky upside down. ”
Yang Tong nodded silently.
The arrangement that should be done is actually almost finished, now wait for Lu Dongzan to lead the army to the west, if this elite army is annihilated again, kill some big people in Tubo, and the power of loyalty to Langri Zampu will almost be exhausted, and then use the method of dealing with Tubo to dismember Tubo. Of course, an outstanding hero like Lang Ri Zamp must not be kept.
"It will take at least two or three days for Lu Dongzan to arrive, and there should be no war tonight or tomorrow." Yang Tong pondered for a long time, and then said: "Tubo has brought so much wine, which is also used to protect against the cold, I can't treat our soldiers badly, so I simply let the soldiers eat and drink openly tonight." However, the indispensable scouts still have to be sent out. ”
"The last will obey."
The third general saluted Yang Tong and got up to leave.
