Chapter 985: Conquest of Tibet (Two Chapters in One)

Conquest of Tibet (two chapters in one)

Suddenly, someone shouted, it's the army of the Tang Dynasty!

These words caused a ripple like a stone falling into calm water, and many Tibetans immediately quickened their pace.

When the Tang Iron Cavalry appeared in the distance, Songtsen Gampo saw that there were only 3,000 people coming.

That's when he had a bold idea.

So he shouted: "The enemy is only a thousand people, we don't have to be afraid, just put the ballista on the rack, and let them have no return." ”

But it was said, what if there were people behind them?

Songtsen Gampo was unimpressed.

If there are people in the rear, then everyone will have to die the same, why not rise up and resist, otherwise everyone will only have a dead end!

His words undoubtedly aroused everyone's approval, there is nothing wrong, if you don't resist, there is only a dead end.

And Songtsen Gampo seems to feel that there is still a possibility of victory.

Suddenly full of energy.

After that, he commanded the Tibetan army, which was about to escape, and turned back.

At this time, Li Chengqian and Li Mixia, who were on the top, looked at everything below.

Li Mixia asked with some concern at this time: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what is this...... Songtsen Gampo they are going to fight back, they ......"

"Just look at it, we're going to land."

Li Chengqian said.

"But it's so dangerous down here, what if you go down and get surrounded by them? Although I say that I can protect you, but they are tens of thousands of people, and I will not be able to protect you at that time! ”

Li Mixia said this, he was not wrong, this is the way it is.

But Li Chengqian didn't care.

"You don't have to worry about this, after we go down, their battle will also be over."

Li Mixia was a little stunned, he felt that Li Chengqian was a little different from the beginning, and now it is even more so.

But he still couldn't believe it, this battle was not fought like this, and it would take them a few minutes at most, so how could the battle end?

He didn't say anything more, just looked at everything down there.

At the same time, the hot air balloon is slowly descending.

Suddenly, he shouted.

"Su Lie is so fierce! Songtsen Gampo actually began to run away! ”

Gunshots were already ringing out below, and within a few turns, Songtsen Gampo was fleeing with his men in all directions.

Su Lie is not Cheng Chumo, and with the blessing of Wang Xuance, the three thousand iron horses carried by the two of them are like entering a no-man's land.

beat Songtsen Gampo to the point that he was defeated and retreated, and finally fled directly.

It happened so fast that it was unexpected.

Li Mixia was even more surprised, what's wrong?

They haven't come down yet, is it coming to an end?

Yes, that's right.

Speaking like that, Li Chengqian still said it conservatively.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really a great talent!"

Li Mixia said.

"We're coming!"

Li Chengqian did not reply to him, but said so.

By the time they came down, Su Lie had already escorted Songtsen Gampo over.

It's even faster.

Songtsen Gampo looked helpless.

I thought he could make a comeback, but I didn't expect that he was still caught by the Datang Iron Cavalry.

Now that's interesting.

It is also the second time he has been arrested, and now Songtsen Gampo is already ashamed.

"Songtsen Gampo, do you think you can leave if you hurt Cheng Chumo? You think you can make a comeback if you leave? You're still too naΓ―ve! ”

Li Chengqian got off the hot air balloon and said.

Songtsen Gampo shouted: "Cheng Chumo is not dead? That guy didn't even die! And how did you know I was here and why? ”

A series of questions flashed through Songtsen Gampo's mind, and he didn't even think to ask them.

"All your whereabouts can be known to the king!"

"Impossible! There must be spies! ”

Songtsen Gampo didn't believe it.

Li Chengqian didn't care about him.

"Believe it or not, that won't change your fate. That is, you are going to be sent to Chang'an. This time, this king must have someone escort you to Chang'an! ”

Li Chengqian counted again and smiled.

"Tomorrow the west wind will blow and the wind will be suitable, just in time for the hot air balloon to ride. You can reach Chang'an the day after tomorrow at the earliest! When the time comes, you'll be ready to be judged! ”

As long as you sit in a place where there is a train, then take the train back to Chang'an.

Songtsen Gampo didn't say anything more, because there was no need anymore.

By this time he was in despair.

Since this is the case, then Li Chengqian doesn't want to talk to him too much.

The order was given directly.

"Come on, go back to Shancheng!"

"Yes!"

After that, the people put Songtsen Gampo in a prisoner car and led him to Shancheng.

After going back, Li Chengqian asked Cheng Chumo and Fang Zhizhi to escort Songtsen Gampo to Chang'an in a hot air balloon with a number of people and cars.

He and Li Mixia re-planned everything about Tibet.

Thankfully, a large number of Tubo people expressed their willingness to submit to Li Mixia, probably out of the same origin, and if it was ruled by the Tang Dynasty, there might have been too many things.

And if Li Mixia comes to govern, he still has a fixed team to directly govern Tubo.

He didn't have to worry about that anymore.

But speaking of which, there are still some people who are not convinced, and these unconvinced existences let Li Mixia lead the captives and his own army, as well as the Zhenguan Divine Cannon, to defeat all disobedience.

After continuous conquest, starting from the approaching one, all forces within a radius of hundreds of miles were subjugated to Li Mixia.

And so on until ten days later.

Songtsen Gampo was eventually put on trial, and Li Shimin imprisoned him in Chang'an City and did not kill him.

Maybe it was to let him die of old age in Chang'an, or maybe because of other things.

Li Shimin's thoughts made him a little puzzled.

But what he wants, let him go.

Li Chengqian called Li Mixia to the house.

"Li Mixia, what is the situation in the whole of Tibet now?"

He asked.

"Now the Tubo people within a range of five hundred miles in the vicinity have surrendered, and their subordinates have ordered a large number of troops to grow, radiating from here to thousands of miles away, and reintegrating the surrendered Tubo people together, and now there are two million troops, these people are constantly expanding, and then expanding to a range of two thousand miles!"

If Li Chengqian is alone, then this matter will not be able to be done for two or three months, and if Li Mixia's method is used, the number of soldiers will be like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger, and more and more no one will dare to resist.

This is the direction of Li Chengqian's tactics.

Then, Li Chengqian did not have to wait for the day when the Tubo people completely surrendered, because that day was not far off.

"Li Mixia, you have done a very good job, then this king will send someone to help you govern this Tubo, and then you can govern Tubo more powerful!"

The purpose of this is very good, and it can also monitor everything Li Mixia does.

Otherwise, what is the difference between him and Songtsen Gampo?

It would not be good if one day he also rebelled, and he was in the east again, and there was no one to conquer.

But he believes that this guy will not be like this.

After all, this regime is not easy to come by, and he has absolute force, and if he wants to take it back, he will take it back.

In addition, the magic cannon that is still being studied now is more powerful, and the shooting distance alone can reach a hundred miles away, which is a terrifying thing, in the future, as long as the cannon is supported a hundred miles away, the target is set as the opponent's city, not to mention, first give you tens of thousands of cannonballs, and your city will be blown to pieces, and then a fire army, how long can you hold on?

What Li Chengqian has not said is that there will be a large number of immigrants who will come and integrate with the Tibetans.

The so-called great national integration.

"Yes! If that's the case, that's great! ”

"Do a good job, this king will not treat you badly!"

Li Chengqian said with a little meaning.

"Yes! Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will definitely manage this place. ”

"Very well, if nothing else, this king is ready to leave for tomorrow."

It's been almost a month since he came out, and a lot has happened in that time.

The eastern part of Datang has always been unpeaceful, and the countries bordering Datang seem to be unstable.

He'll have to go back and take care of it.

"In this case, my subordinates wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a safe journey!"

"Well, if you have anything else, say it!"

"Speaking of which, the subordinates really have one thing to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"What?"

"Can you leave a hundred Zhenguan Divine Cannons here for your subordinates to use, so as to deter the Tubo people!"

What Li Mixia was thinking in his heart, Li Chengqian knew.

At the same time, Su Lie said directly: "Zhenguan Divine Cannon is a divine object of the Tang Dynasty, ordinary people can't get it, especially those who are far away, I'm afraid that you will keep it badly and lose it, if you lose it, then it's not good!" ”

Su Lie's words were still a little vague, in fact, he wanted to say, such an important thing is given to you, what if you turn around? What if you lose it?

Li Mixia was a little embarrassed.

"My subordinates will protect them to the death!"

"That's not good, the mystery of the Zhenguan Divine Cannon can't be obtained by others!"

Wang Xuance said.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this ......"

Facing the opposition of the two great generals.

Li Mixia had no choice but to turn to Li Chengqian for help.

Li Chengqian thought for a while and said, "It's not okay to put it here. But there are a few requirements! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please speak!"

"First, you have to treat them as if they were life, and there must be news about them every half month, and everyone who comes into contact with them must be trustworthy people."

"Of course!"

Li Mixia was overjoyed in his heart, in this case, this cannon would be 80% left.

"Second, Li Mixia, our ugly words are ahead, although the Zhenguan Divine Cannon is important, it is not the most important, and all bad intentions will be crushed. No matter who it is, if it is lost, it will be exiled at least and killed at worst. ”

Li Chengqian thought that if he didn't give him a cannon, sometimes it would be really difficult for him to convince the public, and the weapon had two sides, one was dangerous and the other was safe.

If you want to heal this land, if you don't give them some weapons, then it is equivalent to being no different from others, and anyone can oppose it.

But with weapons it's different, monopolizing all kinds of disobedience.

Again, artillery shells need to be supplied, as long as he pinches the supply and does a good job of putting in and out of storage, everything is fine.

His promise made Su Lie and the others worried.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not possible!"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't, Zhenguan Divine Cannon is so important!"

"Okay, don't talk about it, this king knows its importance, but although they are important compared to the stability of the country, if they can't be used in practice, what is the use of powerful weapons?"

The two wanted to say something.

was interrupted by Li Chengqian.

"Alright, don't say it! This king has already arranged this, and he should not mention it again in the future. ”

"Yes!"

The two didn't say anything.

But there is some truth to their opposition.

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

The happiest person here is Li Mixia.

In this way, his reign will be permanent.

As far as Li Chengqian is concerned, he is good here, and Chang'an is even better.

As for who to let come, there are even more, such as Shangguan Yi and a large number of bachelors can be together, you must know that in the Tang Academy alone, there are thousands of people who can be driven, the main thing is that he will come over without hesitation.

These intellectuals have a kind of admiration for Li Chengqian from the depths of their souls.

Li Chengqian also knew that they would definitely be willing.

"Okay, you go down and put this piece of land together, you know?"

"Yes! Subordinates know! ”

In this way, Li Mixia left happily.

At this time, Su Lie asked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, is this really okay?" ”

"It's okay, this person can be calculated by this king that he is only loyal and not treacherous, for Datang, what we need now is an existence that can drive us and make Tubo stable, and Li Mixia is a good candidate, in fact, this king has looked at him half a year ago, and it was only recently finalized, this person is a talent!"

"In this way, everything is as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wills!"

Wang Xuance said.

And Su Lie didn't say anything anymore.

"By the way, you guys prepare well, tomorrow we will return to Chang'an, and now the east of Datang seems to be unstable! There is constant war there, and Qin Qiong seems to be a little too busy! ”

Regarding the east, he is still very unconscious, this time, when he returns to Chang'an, he must teach a good lesson, maybe in the form of a fleet, but everything can only wait until he goes back.

"Also, we should use the main force to the east!"

Su Lie said.

"Go down, General Cheng's army will probably come to take over here tomorrow, and then you will leave some people here to hand over, and the others will return with us."

"Yes!"

Li Chengqian has arranged well, just wait for tomorrow to arrive, and they will return to Chang'an.

That night, a large number of people heard the news that Li Chengqian was going back, and they stood outside the official mansion one after another, saying that they would see him anyway.

Li Chengqian was a little moved.

They also rejoiced with the people, and at last they did not disperse until the second half of the night.

In this way, Li Chengqian was tired enough.

But it's all worth it.

Until the next morning, he left Shancheng early, and as for the people coming out to send each other, it has long become the standard.

Li Chengqian is also accustomed to this kind of send-off.

In the end, he set off, his heart was home, and the road would not be far.
