Chapter 14: Discord among the generals
Wanxiu City Chamber!
Pei Min, Guo Zhiyun, and Gong Ren gathered together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"It's still comfortable to live in this house!" Guo Zhiyun tightened his coat and sat down casually.
Compared to open-air tents, the chamber is significantly more effective at sheltering from the cold. Especially in the bitter cold of the southwest, the structure of the house is mainly cold-resistant, and as long as a few small pots of charcoal fire are placed in the house, it will have the effect of heating in the future.
Pei Min sat down beside Guo Zhiyun and said with a smile: "Maybe it's not necessary to really survive this winter here." However, our small life is more comfortable than each other, this can be determined. ”
Logistics has always been the weakness of the Tang Army, but under Pei Min's operation, they who eat rice and grain have become an advantage.
With the current economic situation of Datang, there are enough financial and material resources to support their consumption.
On Gong Ren only felt that his body was hot, and he couldn't help but say: "I really can't understand why you are so afraid of the cold." ”
Pei Min said comfortably: "It's like we can't understand the reason why you are so afraid of heat." ”
In fact, he knows what the reason is, the living environment is different, the physical situation is completely different, Tibetans are affected by the plateau climate, the pores are enlarged, the blood flow is much faster than those living below the plateau, and the body produces more heat than ordinary people, so most Tibetans are full of red light, and they are far more resistant to cold than people under the plateau. Because of their own calories, once they get to a hot area, it is a kind of torment for them.
This kind of scientific answer that is ahead of the times, Pei Min doesn't bother to explain.
On Gongren's self-sufficiency gag, he went to Chang'an in his early years, and he still remembers the heat over there.
Guo Zhiyun said: "If it is not necessary, I really don't want to spend the whole winter here. ”
Pei Min didn't want to, but things were a little unexpected to him.
He didn't expect Shang Zanpo to be so obsessed with Stone Castle City that he didn't send any soldiers and horses to support, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Now I can only see how far Mo Lang and Shang Zanpo have made trouble." ”
In response to the current situation, he devised several ways to deal with it. Among them, Shang Zanpo went all out to rescue Baigu City, only sent a small force to rescue Baigu City, personally rescued Baigu City, and sent generals to rescue Baigu City, all of which had different ways of coping.
If Shang Tsampa went all out to rescue Baigu City, they would directly abandon Baigu City, block Shang Tsampa's way back to Shibao City with a cavalry army that had already been prepared, and directly drive a large army to station at the foot of Shibao City, seize Shibao City, and break the situation.
If Shang Tsang Po sent a small force to the rescue, they would make a surprise attack on the way, break the rescuers and send people to lurk in the scattered soldiers, and then run into the stone castle city with the defeated soldiers to respond.
As the son of the Tibetan military god Garqinling in the past, Gongren had 7,000 local soldiers under his command who were dissatisfied with the death of the idol in their hearts and followed the Tang Dynasty. They are well aware of the situation in Tibet, speak fluent Tubo, and cannot distinguish the true from the false in the dark night, so they have a great opportunity to operate.
But Shang Zanpo couldn't hold on, which was a little embarrassing.
Stone Castle City is known as the "Desperate Ridge Slaughtering Eagle", and in history, Geshuhan mobilized an army of 70,000 to take this fortress at the cost of more than 10,000 dead and wounded.
It can be seen that the stone castle city is difficult to take, Shang Zanpo can't defend it, and Pei Min can't attack it, so he can only look for opportunities again and wait for the opportunity to take advantage of it.
It really can't be done, and we can only wait for the spring of the next year, when the Tubo cattle and sheep die due to the cold and have no food, and the Tubo army also launches a general attack because of the lack of food and morale.
The three of you are talking word by word, discussing how to deal with the current situation.
At this time, Sun Zhou strode up and whispered to Pei Min.
Pei Min's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Great! God help me! ”
Seeing Guo Zhiyun and Gong Ren, they looked at him puzzled and said, "The contradiction between Si Mo Lang and Shang Zanpo has completely intensified! Haha, this spear and shield are finally on the line. ”
It turned out that Si Mo Lang endured Shang Tsangpo again and again, and in the face of his practice of not saving him when he saw death, he had reached the point where he could not bear it anymore.
Xi Mo Lang directly did not listen to the military orders and sat back to watch the victory, which led to the great crime of the fall of Wanxiu City, and ordered people to go to Shibao City to remove Ruo Shangzan's position, take him down, and wait for his fate.
As soon as Si Mo Lang's stubborn temper came, he didn't listen to anyone's advice, and directly sent his henchmen.
Just when Pei Min had no idea for the time being, Si Mo Lang and Shang Zanpo had a general fight.
This time, Tubo will not die and will shed its skin.
"Pay close attention to all the situation in Tibet, not only Si Mo Lang, but also Ruo Shangzan. Let Xiaobai work hard, keep an eye on the movements of Stone Castle City day and night, and report any situation immediately. Pei Min gave the order with a little excitement.
The sources of information on Xi Molang's side were all supplied by Murong Ying, a descendant of the Xianbei royal family who was bent on recovering Tuyuhun, and used all his strength to pave the way for their Tang Dynasty. It's just that Murong Ying's strength is limited, and he can't affect Shibao City. For the news of Shibao City, the only thing Pei Min could rely on was a Tibetan veteran who was proficient in both the Tibetan and Tang languages provided by Wang Xiaobai and Non Gongren.
Wang Xiaobai's light skills are extremely high, and he can still walk on the ground in the swamp, not to mention climbing and wading.
The object of Shang Zanpo's suspicion has always been the two of them.
At this moment, in Baigu City, many Tibetan generals are persuading Xi Molang to take back his fate.
Shang Zanpo's father, as one of the six most powerful people in Tibet, except for Si Mo Lang, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, the other generals are unwilling to offend Shang Zanpo's family.
Compared with Si Mo Lang, who has no backstage at all, the generals are more concerned about the forces behind Shang Zanpo.
"Marshal! Please take back your fate! Now is a critical moment, and we should focus on the outside, not the time for internal fighting. ”
"Marshal, this great battle is coming, life and death are just around the corner. Taking down the captain of Shangtsan Po will only make the Tang people see the joke. ”
"Marshal ......"
"Marshal ......"
All kinds of reasons, all kinds of rhetoric.
Si Mo Lang looked at the generals, and couldn't help but be a little disheartened, it really came to the critical moment, and his weakness of not being able to convince the public without a background was undoubtedly revealed.
However, he does not intend to compromise.
Xi Molang slapped the ground and shouted angrily: "Tang Jun is already watching jokes!" There were only 800 people, and the Tang army used 800 people to take Wanxiu City! I don't expect Shang Zanpo to send five thousand, even if it is five hundred, it can delay for a while, and the reinforcements from my army of Baigu City will arrive. It's good that he doesn't move, and he doesn't send a single soldier, isn't it a big joke? For the sake of the overall situation, Ben Shuai has always endured Shang Zanpo's arbitrariness and did not listen to Shuai's orders. The result? As a result, the situation in our army is even worse. He thought that Ben Shuai didn't know the importance of Iron Blade City? With the defense of Iron Blade City, only 2,000 soldiers and horses are enough. He thinks that staying in Iron Blade City can swallow merit alone and suppress me, the marshal, so he has disrespected my life many times! ”
"Ben Shuai's tolerance has brought bad consequences! Can't continue to indulge! It is true that the discord between the generals and the commanders does cause harm, but if you ignore it, the harm will be even greater! Ben Shuai is no longer tolerated! ”
