The current Zampu of Tubo is Songtsen Gampo, and the Tubo people implement a system that integrates the military, administration and production, that is, it is divided into five "Ru", which forms a whole with the division of the territory of Tubo, and the army is dispersed in peacetime and concentrated in wartime, stationed in various places, and each Ru has a military governor "Ruben", which is usually held by the largest local clan nobles.

Ru set up "Dong Dai", which means a thousand households or "a team of a thousand people", each Ru can be divided into ten Dong Dai, and its chief is called "Dong Ben", which means "the chief of a thousand people". Tibet is a military-organized society, where adult men farm in peacetime and go out to fight in wartime, and all the people are soldiers.

According to the foresight of our scouts, Tibet should have 300,000 soldiers, and if you add their slaves, it is conservatively estimated that Tibet can have an army of 700,000. ”

In the city of Lanzhou, Li Jing was analyzing Tubo for Li Zhan and others.

"There are 300,000 soldiers, and this time I will take out 200,000 to attack Lanzhou, it seems that this Songtsen Gampo is desperate?" Li Zhan looked at the other humanes.

"Songtsen Gampo is a very ambitious Zampu, after he controlled the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, he took the agricultural and pastoral demarcation area as the dividing line of Tang and Tibet for a long time, controlled the pastoral area, gave full play to his own strengths, and maintained a superior strategic position, so that our Tang Dynasty could not make a difference for a long time with military strength, and was in a dilemma.

Make full use of the time, place, people and other factors, rise to the height of political strategy, always maintain a situation that is easy to control, and minimize losses in all aspects.

At the same time, constant peeking into the agricultural areas under the control of the Tang Dynasty made it impossible for peasants who were extremely dependent on land to engage in production, or crops were not harvested, directly shaking the economic foundation of the Tang Dynasty's ruling areas in the west.

The last time Songtsen Gampo begged to kiss the Tang Dynasty, he was rejected by His Majesty, because this young Zampu was too greedy, he wanted everything, but he didn't do anything, and he was no different from bandits. ”

After Li Jing's words were finished, Li Zhan thought for a while and said, "By the way, what do you think of Heqin?" ”

For more than 300 years in the Tang Dynasty, Princess Honghua entered Tuyuhun and married her king Nuo Haobo 28 times, which was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty marrying the princess to Waifan.

Of course, there are benefits to being close, for example, after Ashina Sheer married Princess Hengyang, he repeatedly made meritorious contributions in many wars between the Tang Dynasty and the surrounding areas, and effectively maintained the unity of the Tang Dynasty.

However, there are also disadvantages to being kind, just like Princess Wencheng marrying Songtsan Gampo, Princess Wencheng took treasures, seeds, and craftsmen to develop and teach the culture and agricultural industry of the Tibetan people in the past, which greatly strengthened the combat effectiveness of Tibet.

So much so that in the later time, after the strength of Tibet increased, the Silk Road was directly snatched into the hands.

The Tang Dynasty had no way to deal with Tibet, and if it weren't for the deterioration of the weather in Tibet, I think Tibet would still be able to dominate for a while.

"It's good to be with your relatives!" It was Hou Junji who spoke, this person is Li Shimin's confidant, because Li Shimin likes to be friendly, so he also admires him very much: "He himself has ancient times, and a woman can be exchanged for the peace of the soldier, I think it is very right to be peaceful." ”

After Hou Junji finished speaking, Li Daozong shook his head and said: "I think that harmony is an act of prayer, and only if we can't beat each other, we will exchange women for peace." ”

"Brother Li, you're not right." Li Daliang shook his head and said: "Harmony is a necessary means, but it is not to exchange women for peace, the lives of soldiers are also important, and I think it is worth it to exchange a woman for peace." ”

"Worth it?" Xue Wanche snorted and said: "Are all our men in the Tang Dynasty dead, if we want to exchange women for peace, I am willing to use my body to stand in front of me, and I will never get along." ”

Li Zhan looked at the four generals' understanding of Heqin, and the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, at this time, Li Zhan looked at Li Jing, and Li Jing took the lead in looking at Li Zhan and asked, "Li Qincha, what is your opinion of Heqin?" ”

"I want the Tang Dynasty not to be a minister, not to pay compensation, not to make peace, not to pay tribute, the Son of Heaven to guard the country, and the king to die!"

After Li Zhan finished speaking, everyone was stunned.

Then I heard Xue Wanche shouting: "Zhuang Zai is not a minister, no compensation, no harmony, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies." It's really too strong, Li Qincha, if you can really let Datang do this, then I, Xue Wanche, am willing to die for you. ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Suddenly, Li Jing on the side coughed, and he immediately changed the topic and said: "Then we are not discussing the issue of peace and kinship now, and Tubo is about to invade, let's talk about Tubo's military strength."

Da Liang, you know the military power of Tibet best, you can tell me. ”

"Good!" Li Daliang stood up and followed: "The country of Tubo is a country where all the people are soldiers, and because they are nomads, the elite division is cavalry, and most of the Tubo army is cavalry, which comes and goes quickly and has great lethality.

Our Tang Dynasty army was dominated by infantry, which had a natural weakness over cavalry.

In the process of waging war, the Tibetan army often took the destruction of the other party's economic foundation as an important means, such as in the war against the Tang Dynasty, often took measures to "trample on crops" and destroy houses.

When Tubo took advantage of the autumn high horse fat, it sent troops to disturb the border areas of the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty had to take corresponding countermeasures of "autumn prevention", which was not only a defense against the autumn attack of Tibet, but also a protection strategy for the autumn crops. Many feudal towns and a large part of the troops in the Tang Dynasty were forced to join the ranks of the "anti-autumn". ”

"This time, our cavalry defending the city of Tubo should be useless, now what we have to do is to increase the production of tools to defend the city, there are two days left, Tubo is about to arrive, I believe we will definitely defend Lanzhou."

After Li Zhan finished speaking, the other generals also nodded slightly.

followed Li Zhan and said: "Okay, without further ado, let's go and do what we have in hand." ”

"Yes!"

The meeting of several generals was dispersed like this, Li Zhan also had a preliminary understanding of Tubo, Li Zhan believed that this time against Tubo, it should be nine out of ten, after all, Lanzhou City, the city is strong, and there are 100,000 Tang soldiers in the city.

Li Zhan thought that even if there were 200,000 people in Tibet, it would be impossible to break through Lanzhou City, unless there were spies in the city.

Of course, now Li Zhan also has something to do, thinking that he also found a fascicle of ancient Chinese weapons in the military of the Chinese encyclopedia, Li Zhan was very surprised, because the table of contents in it wrote all the weapons of ancient China in detail.

Contents of the contents of the preface, swords, spears, halberds, knives, axes, swords, whips and others, bows and arrows, crossbows, stone throwers, chariots, warships, systems, artillery, shotguns, rockets, mines, mines, fireballs, other firearms, armor, shields, obstacles, siege and defense equipment, postscript!

Hee-hee, this is another big killer, the Chinese Encyclopedia, all traversers should bring one.
