If you want to talk about ignorance, these Tubo people are really ignorant. When the pair was brought over and their fingers were chopped off, no one reacted in a big way. They were also grateful to Dade one by one, and a resident of Songzhou who could speak Tubo translated: "They asked if they could be released after being punished." ”

"I, Cao, what do you want to do?" The Tang soldier said: "I think it's beautiful, I killed so many of us, and I want to go back after cutting off a few fingers?" ”

"It was said that they were going to be sent to the grassland to graze the sheep."

"And cut down their cocks. I heard that it was Li Tanhua's opinion? ”

"Really? I was chilled by what you said. ”

"Really, it is said that 20,000 are cut at a time...

"It's too ruthless, does Tubo have such a big enmity with him?"

"I heard that it was..."

For this question, it blew like the wind all over the entire Tang Army barracks, and even Lieutenant Chi Baolin came over and said: "Dongsheng, I heard that your kidneys are not good, and you want 20,000 chickens to practice aphrodisiac?" Really? ”

"Poof!" Li Dongsheng took a sip of tea and sprayed it on the ground: "That bastard orchestrated me?" Find out, Lao Tzu is not finished with him! ”

Xi Junmai and Daniel Zhang in the military tent couldn't laugh straight, and Daniel Zhang laughed especially exaggeratedly, holding his stomach and saying: "Twenty thousand chicken practices. Hahaha. ”

Li Dongsheng was originally angry, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Damn, this rumor really kills people, but fortunately they didn't say that these 20,000 chickens were stewed and eaten." ”

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Hou Junji sneered: "Little bastard, you actually joked about me, and you don't know my means if you don't make a move." ”

In the imperial city of Chang'an, Li Shimin, who had just gotten off the court meeting, was discussing the war in Songzhou with the ministers.

The ministers present were Fang Xuanling, eldest grandson Wuji, Wen Yanbo, Cheng Yanjin, etc., during this time, Li Shimin was most concerned about how the Tang army should fight after the loss of Songzhou City. It has been nearly a month since the army set off from Chang'an, and every few days, military reports from all walks of life are sent to Chang'an. Now the Tang army is outside the city of Songzhou, with fewer troops than Tubo, and they have to attack the city, which is a big trouble.

Because the distance between Songzhou and Chang'an is too far, Li Shimin's ability to understand the situation will also lag by six or seven days.

"Your Majesty, Niu Jinda is also an old man, and there should be no problem for him to be handsome this time." Fang Xuanling said: "But the rise speed of this Tubo is amazing, and it will be my Datang's fierce rival in the future." ”

Li Shimin looked at the map on the wall and suddenly said hatefully: "Has Han Wei found it?" If he found it, he was arrested and put in prison and handed over to Dali Temple for trial. He was worried about death, the 200,000 troops of Tubo, and the strong city to rely on, if he was not careful, the whole army would be annihilated.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is still necessary to send reinforcements to the past, and now our army is insufficient, and Songzhou City is tall and strong, this is a hard battle!" Eldest Sun Wuji shook his head and said, "It is said that the Tubo people are strong and strong, and their combat effectiveness is super strong, and we are only 50,000 people, so I'm worried!"

"Cheng Yanjin, if you were the coach of the Tubo people, what would you do?" Li Shimin asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, if the minister is the commander of the Tubo army, he will take advantage of the fatigue of the soldiers coming from afar and the cooperation of the various armies is not tacit, so he will first send tens of thousands of people to test the combat effectiveness." Cheng Biting Jin said loudly.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, all the ministers in the early Tang Dynasty were from the battlefield, and they all had at least military knowledge, and they knew that if Cheng Biting Jin's words became a reality, the Tang Army would really be more than lucky.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's not so serious," Wen Yanbo said, "General Cheng is the top general in my Tang Dynasty, and the commander of Tubo may not have such a level, and Tubo has not fought against our army, so they must observe it first." ”

Li Shimin listened to Wen Yanbo's words, nodded deceptively and said, "It also makes sense." Then you started to discuss word by word, and Li Shimin, who listened, was even more flustered, if he lost this time, it would be a shame, and this would set a very bad precedent, everyone took a look, oh, it turns out that your Datang is not a hundred victories, Tubo can do it, then I can too. The surroundings of Datang will become dangerous.

While the kings and ministers were frowning, there was a faint shouting outside the main hall, and then footsteps were heard running towards them. The door was pushed open suddenly, and Wang De's face was full of excitement: "Your Majesty, Songzhou Eight Hundred Miles Battle Report..."

"What? Really? Li Shimin couldn't help but shout loudly when he heard this, he was ready for defeat in his heart, everyone's analysis just now was that the Tang army was going to suffer, and now when he heard the "Songzhou Victory", he couldn't believe his ears, and said in a loud voice: "Quickly report the battle to me!"

Wang De hurriedly handed over the sealed battle report to Li Shimin, who opened it and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed: "Good, good, good, good fight... Hahaha..."After saying a few good things, he laughed proudly.

"Your Majesty, how was the Battle of Songzhou fought?" The ministers below were eager to go up and snatch the military newspaper in Li Shimin's hand, but they read it themselves but didn't say the details, which was too much to appetize.

"Your Majesty, say it quickly!" Cheng Yanjin was an anxious man, he turned next to Li Shimin, and just as he was about to stretch out his hand, Li Shimin directly stuffed the battle report into his hand.

"Songzhou victory, after the first day of convergence, I tried to attack the city, found out the old bottom of Tubo, and then the firearms battalion stormed the city wall, and blew up the city gate, and the army entered Songzhou City, killed 15,000 Tubo soldiers, and captured 20,000 prisoners. Li Shimin smiled very presumptuously, "Li Dongsheng's firearms battalion of 1,000 people stormed the city wall, and blew up the city gate to let the army enter the city, the firearms battalion is equivalent to completely turning the tide of the battle with the power of one battalion and making great achievements, how can I not be happy?" This kind of combat effectiveness shows that I am really wise to establish a firearms battalion!"

"Really?" The ministers listened to Li Shimin's words like commenting on a story, everyone came down from the battlefield, and they didn't know much about the war, and the battle of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people was not so easy to happen, everyone had to keep tempting, touching, finding the opponent's weakness and then pressing it with all their might, where is it like child's play, a thousand people attacked the city and then attacked the city, are the Tubo people all fools, standing there waiting for you to kill? Hundreds of thousands of people drowned you, a thousand people, with one mouthful of foam.

"Haha, good boy! It's not a loss to be the nephew of the pharmacist, it's really terrifying. Cheng Yanjin also finished reading the battle report, gave it to a person next to him, and walked directly in front of Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I can only say one word to your vision now, I originally thought that it was irresponsible for you to arrange Li Dongsheng to be a general, although I am his uncle, but the main general of the army is responsible for the lives of the whole battalion, and I don't think so." Who knew that the firearms battalion would have such an amazing performance, and His Majesty's vision was really beyond the reach of his ministers. ”
