In the Ming Hall, the officials who decided the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty gathered again, and the short seven-day holiday ended so abruptly.

In Yang Lin's hand is a piece of information about Tibet, which describes in detail the strength and territory of the forces in Tibet, which is now divided.

"The people of Tibet are unruly and untamable, brave and not Tatar, and they are not surprised or happy when they hear the war. Although advocating Buddhism, but no compassion, men and women are proud of plundering, all those who pass through this place business, will suffer from it, the Tang Dynasty was once isolated from the business road. ”

Han Shizhong's words were very level, and at first glance, he had studied them carefully, and he had sent enough scouts.

Yang Lin gently closed the scroll and said with a smile: "Enxiang, the Tubo people are fighting for themselves, it is a God-given opportunity, if you take it at this time, it is as easy as a hand." If it takes time for Tubo to develop momentum, and there is a hero who dominates the Tibetan people, then it will be more harmful than that of Western Xia. ”

Cai Jing nodded lightly and said, "The imperial court has been planning and planning for many years, and so far everything is actually ready. Before the Shangyuan Festival, there must be good news to congratulate Your Majesty. ”

Everyone stood up together, more than a dozen important ministers of the court, and bowed to the north together, Cai Jing said with a smile: "We and other ministers should take all measures to ensure that the baggage is heavy, and we can wait for the good news to enter Beijing." ”

Wang Huang, who was in the southwest, finally seized an opportunity, this time the forbidden army soldiers and horses in Dali directly waved his army to the north to take Tubo with a knife.

In the northwest, the Great Song Dynasty and Tubo because of the common enemy of the Western Xia, has long been inextricably linked, the Song general Wang Shao organized the Xihe River to open the border, from the south of the Western Xia to the west, constantly defeated and subdued the Tubo tribes, the forces entered the eastern part of Xinjiang, the formation of a strategic encirclement of the Western Xia, if there was no later Sima Guang's re-appearance, thinking that the gains of the war outweighed the losses, and hundreds of thousands of Tubo people would have been wiped out together.

Since then, the small tribes of Tubo, which have been in constant war, have chosen to annex and submit to the Great Song Dynasty.

The southwest is different, Dali and Tubo have never stopped using troops here.

It can be said that this place will not be peaceful for hundreds of years before, and for hundreds of years to come.

Nanzhao, the predecessor of Dali, often fought with Tubo, but when Dali was founded, the Tubo Empire had declined and disintegrated, and the Tubo region had become a feudal lord and a temple separation.

The only exception is the Yanjing region on the border between Yunnan and Tibet, which has been contested for centuries due to the major economic interests of salt. In later history, until the Qing Dynasty, the Tusi of Lijiang still fought with the Tibetan lords over this place.

The relationship between the two sides can be said to be incompatible, and the Tubo tribe here has also been guarding against the invasion of the Dali people and is heavily guarded.

According to the truth, to attack Tibet from Dali, we must bypass this land of right and wrong.

As long as you enter Tibet from other places, there will be no resistance, and you can slowly gather the Tibetan tribes as in the northern front.

It's a pity that Wang Hao didn't send even a scout to investigate.

When Han Shizhong's soldiers on the northern front took Jishi Mountain and radiated the Tibetan tribes without blood, Wang Huangxing on the southern front rushed into this salt well land.

Shang Keyi, the leader of the Tibetan monks and nuns, was stout, holding two sharp knives in his hands, and behind him was a group of Tibetan warriors who had never stopped fighting.

These people all looked stronger than the horses under their hips, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, and their eyes were even a little glazed.

War is like a common thing, and this land of salt wells has been won by the strong since ancient times. I don't know how many powerful tribes have been completely wiped out here.

Looking at the array of camps, they were only 20,000 people, staring coldly at the hundreds of thousands of Song troops in the distance, without a trace of fear.

At the sound of an order, the Tibetan cavalry descended from a high place, like a beast that chooses people to devour.

......

The air smelled of blood and gunsmoke, and countless corpses lay on the icy plateau frozen soil, most of them were forbidden soldiers of the Bianliang Jing camp, the armor on their bodies was of extremely high quality but all of them were broken, and there was still fear in their eyes.

A sudden encounter made the Song army on the southern front, which was full of confidence in advance, suffer a crushing defeat for Fang La.

After several years and several major wars, the confidence and momentum that had been cultivated with great difficulty were burned, and the fleeing Song army even trampled many of their comrades to death.

Open! Open! Open!

The sound of drums with a metallic trill reverberated over the battlefield, and the Tibetans walked through the battlefield with great triumph, collecting the spoils of war.

They rummaged through the corpses of the Song army at will, searching for all possible possessions, and all kinds of weapons were everywhere.

The Song Army's Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, the most well-equipped, often made the Western Army's bitter eyes red.

Wang Huang, who retreated to the original Dali country, was shocked, looking at the military generals in the hall, and suddenly overturned the table and began to be furious.

"More than 100,000 horses, even the little Tubo lord can't beat it, and the court might as well raise a group of pigs if you raise you. The thief army, the bird with the army, boasting of his skills on weekdays, a battle is full of birds and embroidered pillows. This time, if you don't play the court, you will be incompetent and cowardly, how can this official give up. ”

The generals in the tent lowered their heads one by one, although they were resentful, they didn't dare to contradict it, Wang Hao still entered the court, and from the official position alone, he was still above Shaozai Yang Lin.

Who knew that this special entry was a straw bag, and without spying in advance, he actually led the army straight to the land of salt wells, and was beaten by others.

Now that the army is losing and the division is unfavorable, I really don't know what kind of punishment I will face.

Everyone was silent, Wang Hao was even more angry, he came to Dali for power, who knew that he would get nothing. Yang Lin sent people to pick up all the Dali Duan clans from the sea, and took over a mess himself, fighting endlessly with a group of savage toasts.

Finally, he has the credit for destroying Tubo, which can be said to be in front of his eyes, then Han Shizhong is just a mere Xuanshuai, once Tubo is destroyed, no one can snatch the credit from himself.

I never thought that it would be unfavorable, and in front of this small lord, he would have been defeated.

For Wang Hao, the rumors that the Tubo people were divided and vulnerable were almost filling his ears.

In fact, this is indeed the case in Tubo, if the army of the Great Song Dynasty is strong, the soldiers are extremely sharp, and the momentum is like a bamboo, even if they are reluctant, these Tubo nobles and monasteries can only open the door and surrender, and from then on become a local vassals of the Great Song Dynasty, or similar to those Tusi of Yungui.

However, Wang Huang's defeat made the Tibetan lords who were watching have strange thoughts, why should we be afraid of them when the Great Song army is so weak.

Even the northern front has been affected, and the fewer Tubo lords and monasteries who came to defect to the annex turned out, and more chose to strengthen contact with each other, and doubled down on sending all kinds of sentinels to see if the Song army had the strength to eat Tubo.

To add insult to injury, Wang Huang, who suffered this defeat, did not know how to rectify the army and horses, and then fight against the snow, but cowered.

The Song people were cowardly, and for a while they became a joke of the Tubo lords, and the awe of the Tubo tribes in the southwest for the Great Song Dynasty to easily recover Dali was also slowly dissipating.

Many tribes are gearing up, waiting to plunder the heads of the Song people like the monks and nuns. On the border of the former Dali, the Tubo people were ready to move.
