[Recovered from illness, restored and renewed...... Well, it's actually half the same, and the update won't be too fast for the time being, but I'll do my best. ]

The contest between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet can almost be equated with a contest between barbarism and civilization.

Tibet, now even its own writing has not yet been created, Ru Mao drinks blood in groups, father and son share women, many children are born only know their mothers but do not know their fathers; The Tang Dynasty is entering a golden age, and the open and inclusive national style is like a sea of rivers, and it is also the era in which the most poets were born in Chinese history.

But in the military contest, the advantage of the Tang Dynasty over Tubo seems to have never been so obvious. The topography of Tubo and the cavalry of Tubo gave them the courage to maintain pressure on the powerful Central Plains and be full of aggression.

However, when the height of civilization was linked to science and technology, the cavalry advantage that the Tubo people relied on for their livelihood was instantly wiped out.

The Battle of Dafeichuan was not just a military victory and a geographical recapture. When Xue Wanjun and the others saw Qin Mubai leading more than 1,000 soldiers and horses and carrying 30 cannons into the camp, their shock could not be described in words and words.

10,000 against 60,000, this is definitely not an order of magnitude contest. In the past, if there was no army of 100,000, no matter how powerful a tiger general like Qin Shubao was, there was no absolute certainty that he would be able to shake the Tubo people. With Li Jing in his hands, even if he can win, it will be a protracted war. After all, when a young horseman rode to capture the Turkic captive Jieli Khan, the example of a thousand miles is rare.

But Qin Mubai did it. In addition to the previous bravado and the timing of the suspicious soldiers, only 200 artillery actually participated in the battle.

Two hundred, lay down a great camp, and drove out sixty thousand......

When the thirty red-coated cannons were erected on the newly built commanding heights, and the swarthy muzzles were aimed at the direction of the retreat of the Tibetans in the west, their cold bodies almost rose to the height of gods.

Xue Wanjun deliberately slipped around the scorched black crater from the cannon, measuring the size and depth of the crater with his own feet, and finally he sighed, "If it is supposed to be bombarded...... Where are the bones found? ”

At this time, he suddenly felt that the martial arts he had always been proud of, and the courage to immediately cross the battlefield with a horizontal sword, in front of such a cannon, it was as humble as an ant, and as ridiculous as a mayfly shaking a tree.

"The Tubo people are not unjustly defeated!"

A day later, in the tent of the Chinese army.

Xue Wanjun sat in the first place, but he felt uncomfortable. Because all the generals' attention was on him, the Zhonglang general Qin Mubai on the left hand. That kind of naked admiration and admiration, and the god-like gaze, he had enjoyed before, and he was all too familiar.

But now, it doesn't belong to him.

A ragged colt may make a good horse.

"Major General, the battlefield has been cleared, and the Tubo people have been crushed for thousands of miles, throwing down war horses, yaks and countless tents." Xue Wanjun smiled, smiled sincerely, and even a little humble, "The army counted it, and there were more than 13,400 war horses and more than 6,000 yaks. The grain and grass obtained were enough to supply 60,000 troops for half a year, piled up like a mountain, and there were countless ordnance and baggage. This battle was won so thoroughly that we don't know how to distinguish so much loot. I wonder what the major general thinks? ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly: "Everything but with General Xue's district, his subordinates have other words?" ”

"Oh, the young general doesn't have to be polite, let's express my opinion!" Xue Wanjun patiently asked, "Taking Dafeichuan should be part of Lanzhou's plan." The major general has a general strategy, and Xue Mouan dares to be alone? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone shook their heads. Although Xue Wan is handsome in this handsome tent, the overall plan is in the hands of Qin Mubai, a weak-crowned major general.

"Then the subordinates are welcome." Qin Mubai clenched his fists and said, "Dafeichuan has been taken, and our Lanzhou army has occupied the most important military hub and expanded its territory to the west for hundreds of miles. Moreover, Dafeichuan is the gateway to Tuyuhun. Dafeichuan is in hand, coupled with Hou Junji's victory in Songzhou before, he is not worried that Tuguhun will not return to the territory of the Tang Dynasty. For my Lanzhou, the silk business road has been unimpeded since then, Lanzhou has unlimited business opportunities, and financial resources are just around the corner. This is an excellent virtuous circle, but the premise is that we must hold on to the great African River and not allow for a moment. Therefore, I propose to raise the Shancheng defense line to Dafeichuan, where General Xue Wanjun will preside over all important military and political affairs. ”

"Well, good. Ben will also have this in mind. The major general coincides with the general. Xue Wanjun agreed very happily, and at the same time, his heart was also full of gratitude to Qin Mubai.

The defeat of Dafeichuan last time made him lose his teacher and humiliate the country and endanger Shanzhou, and he was also demoted. This time, he won Dafeichuan so easily and comfortably, and this achievement was reported to the imperial court, can he, the coach, not be rewarded? This is one of them. Second, the opening of the frontier is a great thing that will benefit the present generation and go down in history, and this dynasty has always attached the most importance to the measures of expanding the frontier for the country and reclaiming the land for the people. Such a large piece of fertile soil and military hub as Dafeichuan was held by Xue Wanjun in his hands, and his military achievements and political achievements were all greatly exerted.

Xue Wanjun had to be overjoyed. But the next second he felt a little embarrassed...... It seems that as long as Qin Mubai has another thought, this military exploit and political achievement can be left behind by others, and it has nothing to do with him Xue Wan. He felt left and right that he had received Qin Mubai's charity. But this charity is very useful, and he can't care about such things as face and seniority.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This kid, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, even a general like me is willing to accept his alms and eat others' favors, let alone others? …… This wrist and this ability, given time, how can he be limited?

Xue Wanjun looked at Qin Mubai's eyes, and there was a trace of what others had looked at him in the past.

Awe.

Xue Wanche and the others saw it in their eyes and were shocked in their hearts. In addition to being discouraged and cursed, they also had to be convinced in their hearts. Especially when they saw the thirty red-clothed cannons standing proudly in the east wind, there was more fear than awe in their hearts.

Qin Mubai said: "This big victory has captured countless military resources. The subordinates suggested that half of the military funds should be taken out to reward the officers and men of the three armies, and the other half should be kept and handed over to the Governor's Office, which would make unified plans to arrange agricultural and animal husbandry production in Dafeichuan. After the subordinates returned to Lanzhou, they invited the governor of the capital to send people and soldiers to Dafeichuan, first, to strengthen defense, and secondly, to increase the number of people and labor. Of course, the families of the soldiers must also be transferred over. ”

"Hehehe-" A hearty laugh rang out from the tent. Qin Mubai's humane proposal made all the generals laugh very convincingly.

"Of the more than 10,000 military horses, I won't take any of them away, and all of them will be left in Dafeichuan to raise." Qin Mubai said, "These Tubo war horses are accustomed to the cold and ice and snow of the plateau, and we must let our soldiers get used to riding this kind of war horses." In addition, yaks are not allowed to be slaughtered! ”

"Why is that?" Xue Wanjun was puzzled and said, "The soldiers have been gnawing dry food for days, and they are looking at those yaks whose saliva is about to flow to three feet long!" ”

"Can't be killed." Qin Mubai said categorically, "I don't care if milk can be squeezed to drink or brew wine." In short, except for the sick and disabled yaks, none of them are allowed to move. Yak, the boat of the plateau. When marching and fighting, grain and grass go first. Without the boat of the plateau, we can only carry dry food with us for a few days, and we can't sleep in tents, and it is difficult to walk an inch. ”

"I see!" As soon as Qin Mubai said this, Xue Wanjun and the others all understood-this is clearly a foreshadowing for the future entry into the Tubo region - the young general, the ambition is not small!

"Not only can't we kill, but we also have to take the initiative to raise them artificially." Qin Mubai said, "Yaks are a good thing, and the most important thing in Dafeichuan is fertile grassland. The climate is not suitable for farming, so they wantonly raise Tibetan war horses and yaks. Milk alone is a lot of money. When Lanzhou's commerce developed, it would be difficult for the garrison of Dafeichuan to be poor. ”

"Haha, Major General Gao Jian, Gao Jian!" Xue Wanjun laughed.

To get rich, a fool doesn't want to!

Qin Mubai just smiled slightly and said, "General Xue Wanjun is stationed in Dafeichuan, guarding his throat to carry out animal husbandry; After I return to Lanzhou, I will ask the governor of the capital to choose another person. Please ask General Xue Wanzhuan to return to Liangzhou. After the victory of Dafeichuan, the Silk Road can be diverted nearby. Liangzhou is a fork in the road, please General Xue Wanche as much as possible to persuade the merchants to take Lanzhou, and as far as possible to provide post stations along the way to facilitate the escort of soldiers and horses. Not only will the journey be hundreds of miles, but it will also be safer. In this way, Lanzhou will definitely have a wide range of financial resources. It's easy to do things if you have money! ”

"Good! Ben will go back to Liangzhou immediately! Who wouldn't want to do something to make money? Xue Wanche also laughed out loud.

"In addition, Liangzhou can be described as the first line of defense in the northwest, and it should not be taken lightly against the Western Turks and the Western Regions. After the battle of Dafeichuan, the Tubo people will not be reconciled. Due to the might of artillery and the prestige of General Xue Wanjun, they may not dare to attack Tuyuhun and Dafeichuan easily. In this way, the Northwest Trade Route and the countries of the Western Regions may become their targets. After all, the Tibetans were not only interested in territory, but also in terms of huge commercial profits and rich land that they could plunder. Intercepting trade routes is one of their intentions to occupy Dafeichuan. In the future, it is difficult to guarantee whether they will make any moves in the Western Regions and directly attack our trade routes from the source. Therefore, the strategic point of the western front of the Tang Dynasty is likely to turn to Liangzhou. Therefore, General Xue Wanche, the burden on your body is going to be heavier. ”

"Well, thank you for the reminder, the general has a good idea!" Xue Wanche had to be convinced. When he goes into battle, he has no problem; He really didn't think so deeply about these surrounding situations and military, political and civilian affairs. If it weren't for Qin Mubai's reminder, he wouldn't have been able to figure out these bends and bends even if he broke his brain.

"From now on, Dafeichuan, Liangzhou, and Lanzhou will become the three horns under the rule of the Governor's Office." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "During the holidays, you will develop and grow, you can expand your land for thousands of miles, and you can retreat as stable as a rock." Lanzhou, pay attention to shine on the border of Kyushu! ”

Hearing this, Xue Wanjun felt a little excited, this was like the kind of rush to battle when he was about to win, which was enough to fill his brain with faint excitement.

He stood up suddenly, hugged his fists at a subordinate as a commander, and said impassionedly: "If you can carry forward the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and create immortal achievements, everything depends on the young general, I will listen to the reprimand, and go to the soup and fight again!" ”

"Don't give up on going to the soup and fire!" All the generals stood up, clenched their fists and shouted in unison.

Qin Mubai got up and returned the salute and smiled.

Of course, who wouldn't want to make a fortune with them?

After two days, it was determined that the Tubo people had indeed escaped, and Qin Mubai decided to return to Lanzhou.

Xue Wanjun set up a banquet to treat each other, and kept toasting Qin Mubai during the banquet, until he was half drunk, as if by the strength of the wine, he mustered up the courage and said: "The young general is leaving, and the two hundred artillery ......."

Finally willing to beg me? I won't take the initiative to give it to you in vain. Qin Mubai smiled and said, "How about leaving it to General Xue to drive?" ”

"Ah, that's great!" Xue Wanjun suddenly smiled, unable to hide his expression of relief, he said, "With these thirty red-clothed cannons and two hundred artillery, even if there are millions of troops in Tibet, why be afraid?!" ”

"Don't be big." Qin Mubai unceremoniously poured him a scoop of cold water and said, "The reason why our army won a great victory in the previous battle was because the red-clothed cannon appeared for the first time, and it hit the Tubo people in a daze, and they may still suspect that it was the power of the gods. But this kind of effect, the second time is definitely not so effective. Therefore, the red-coated cannon is afraid that its power will be greatly reduced, and all it can exert is some limited lethality. Therefore, one must not be superstitious about its abilities. Prudence, vigilance, and doing what we can are the key points to keep Dafeichuan. Thirty red-clad cannons...... It may not be as powerful as General Xue imagined. Therefore, the infantry cavalry and horses in your hands are still fundamental. ”

"Well, that's, that's." Xue Wanjun was poured a bucket of cold water, still grateful and surprised. In his opinion, those cannons and artillery are simply "divine objects"! Just like the soldiers' three treasures "soldier and horse armor", the most awesome artifact in the world is now owned by him, no matter how useful this game is, this vanity is enough to use.

After the banquet, Qin Mubai led the elite cavalry of Qinyi Mansion and returned with Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and others, Xue Wanche also left together, took three or five followers out of Dafeichuan with him, and then turned around and ran to Liangzhou.

Along the way, Yuwen Hongtai, who did not kill a single person in the entire combat battle, and did not even see the faces of a few Tubo people, was so idle that he was silent, and his face was still a little green, like a gambling child. Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui wanted to laugh when they looked at him, and they were joking all the way.

The military report of Dafeichuan's victory has already been sent to Lanzhou. From the Governor's Mansion to the common people, they all rejoiced. Qin Mubai attacked twice and returned with two big victories. This time into the city, thousands of empty alleys came to welcome. Qin Mubai rode into Lanzhou on the Huoyun Divine Horse in high spirits, and returned the salute to the people along the way.

Looking at the expressions of those young women and young women, and listening to their screams, he seemed to have a little "heartthrob" illusion, and he felt better than ever.

Princess Gaoyang has been idle for a few days, and she is so dizzy that she is idle. Hearing that Qin Mubai was coming back, she was the first to be happy. Originally, she wanted to go to the Lanzhou City Gate to pick him up "romantically", but when she saw this magnificent and unprecedented scene, she was depressed. Especially when she saw that Qin Mubai was smiling at the face of that group of girls, her little heart gave birth to a nameless karmic fire, causing the small universe to burn fiercely.

So she moved a chair and sat sullenly in the yard to sleep in the sun, looking at the sparse leaves of the plane tree above her head, a string of sentences popped out between her teeth: "The flowers and grass on the street are full of flowers, and they also smile at those vulgar and vulgar three aunts and six women...... See how I'll clean you up later, huh! ”

"Princess, what are you muttering?"

"Boil water, boil water! Get ready to take a bath! - Wash that guy to death! ”
