"General Jidan, I don't think you're in good spirits these days, are you too tired at night?"

In Wenzhou Prefecture, in a certain room in a mansion, the heat of the cloud rose from the curling of two large wooden barrels, causing the temperature of the entire room to rise a lot.

In each of the two barrels, a man bathed in the service of a maid. The older men had dark skin and a hairstyle that was common in the highlands; Younger people have whiter skin and look fairly white.

"Brother Xian, how can my brother be in the mood to think about these things these days, it's not... It's hard to put into words anyway. The next day, Wangjie thought of something, hesitated for a while and then stopped talking.

Zhang Xiong turned sideways and leaned on the edge of the bathtub, exposing his back, and said, "The general is worried about the belonging of our imperial army after retaking Songzhou." ”

As soon as Zhang Xiong's words fell, the movements in Wangjie's hand suddenly stopped, looking at Zhang Xiong's eyes a little complicated, and then he sighed long, "Brother Xian, tell me the truth, will Songzhou return it to my brother when the time comes?" ”

Zhang Xiong was a little surprised and shook his head, "Don't think about this, after the imperial army takes Songzhou, it will garrison troops here." His Royal Highness attaches great importance to Songzhou and hopes to make it a military horse ranch in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Well, that's what I guessed."

Zhang Xiong smiled and said, "It turns out that the general is worried about this. In fact, in my opinion, what's so good about this Songzhou? There are tens of thousands of people in such a big place, and the women are black and thin, which is like the prosperity of my Datang territory. If you go to see Lizhou, Xingyuan Mansion, and Chang'an, the great prosperous scene, isn't it better than the broken place in Songzhou? ”

"But after all, it's my brother's home, and it's still passed down from my ancestors." The next day, Wangjie hesitated.

"It's not that I don't give you face to the general. You look at the current civil strife in Tibet, there are many tribes in Songzhou, what future do you have in Songzhou? It's better to take refuge in Datang, the future will definitely be promising, and it is not impossible to pay homage to the prime minister, isn't it much better than you in Songzhou? Zhang Xiong persuaded.

I don't know when Zhang Xiong had the idea of persuading Wangjie to surrender the next day, this was just his personal behavior, not Li Ye's request.

He knew that His Royal Highness had thoughts about Tubo, but he didn't know about Tubo, although this Jidan Wangjie was a loser, but he was also born in the Tubo aristocracy, and he definitely knew more about Tubo than others.

It may not be possible to rely on the other party to fight, but you can learn more about Tubo through it, and I believe that Your Highness will definitely be very happy.

Therefore, he had the intention of sacrificing the 'hue' to persuade the other party to surrender, otherwise why would he have nothing to do with the other party to take a bath? Although it is said that it is not in a bath tub, it is still weird.

"Really?" The next day, Wangjie was a little moved, and looked at Zhang Xiong expectantly.

"General, do you think I need to lie to you? When this war is over, you can go to my Datang to take a walk, see the prosperity of Datang, and then make a decision. Zhang Xiong flickered.

Regarding the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Wangjie said that it was false if he was not impressed, and the climate and diet of Tubo were comparable to the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Xiong knew that as long as the other party was willing to go to Xingyuan Mansion and Chang'an to have a look, after going, the possibility of returning to Tubo was very small. From thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, enjoying a prosperous life, who wants to go back to live a hard life?

After knowing that it was impossible for him to regain control of Songzhou, Wangjie was completely dead in his heart the next day, his tribe is now thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are less than 1,000 people with armor, what can be done to change the current predicament?

There was no hope of a comeback, and the next day Wangjie was worried about becoming a leading party. Although the Tang army was strong, it was not familiar with Songzhou, and with his lead, Shi Ling led 10,000 cavalry soldiers to sweep the tribes along the way in two ways, and killed them all the way to the vicinity of Songzhou City.

。。。。。。

"Shang Guangsi, you idiot."

In the big tent, the murderous Shang Guangming was holding a man who was slightly smaller than him and scolding, if you look closely, the appearance of the two is still somewhat similar.

"Big brother, I didn't expect that the Wen Mo people and the Qiang people would unite, so they caught their way, and they successfully attacked them." The man known as Shang Guangsi said aggrievedly.

"I can only say that you are stupid, the Wenmo people are a group of untouchables, you actually believe them, thousands of tribal warriors, just left by you in Songzhou. Are you too embarrassed to come back? Shang Guangming yelled.

Seeing the eldest brother who was in anger, Shang Guangsi was also a little worried, and he was angry at the Wen Mo and Qiang people who were calculating him.

The Shang family is one of the big surnames in Tubo, and the Shang maid who was strong before and Shang Yanxin, who took refuge in the Tang people, are both Shang clans. However, Shang Guangsi and his eldest brother are not much related to Shang Yanxin, and their grandfather is Shang Siluo, the former minister of the Tibetan state.

However, Shang Siluo was defeated by the fear of heat, and his people were merged, and one of his sons fled to Songzhou with some loyal people, who was the father of Shang Guangming's brothers. It wasn't until he was defeated by Shang Wanwen that Shang Guangming's father returned to Taozhou, and it took a long time to control Taozhou with the foundation laid by Shang Siluo.

But that's about it.

Not long ago, I heard that Songzhou had fallen into civil strife, and Wangjie colluded with the Tang people in the next day, so Shang Guangming, the envoy of Taozhou Jiedu, asked his brother Shang Guangsi to lead 3,000 tribal troops to unite with the Wen Mo and Qiang tribes in Songzhou, Chenzhou and other territories, and gathered 8,000 troops to defeat the next Dan Wangjie in Songzhou.

After defeating Wangjie the next day, Shang Guangming wanted to take the opportunity to annex Songzhou, but Shang Guangsi was overshadowed by the Wen Mo and Qiang tribes in the coalition army, who sent reinforcements from the tribe and defeated Shang Guangsi's 4,000 army in Songzhou, and less than a thousand people fled, just in time to meet Shang Guangming who came to reinforce him.

"General, if we suddenly attack now, we may be able to recapture Songzhou in one fell swoop." A Tibetan general next to him suggested.

"No, it's too risky. We only brought 5,000 people, plus the withdrawn, only more than 5,000 people, this amount of strength is not enough to fight against the Wen Mo and Qiang coalition forces with more than 10,000 troops, a slight difference, Taozhou is very likely to have an accident. ”

Speaking of this, Shang Guangming glared fiercely at his own brother, who was not angry, he knew that he should not let the other party lead the army here, and he had no brains at all.

If the other party has a little brain, with the other party's 3,000 soldiers and horses and his 5,000 men, it is 8,000 people, which is enough to deter the Wen Mo and Qiang people.

It's good now, because of this uncompetitive guy, he is in a dilemma.

If he wins, it's fine, but if he loses, it's a disaster for him.

At present, the territory of Tibet is not stable, especially in the Helong area. The vicinity of his Taozhou is also densely populated with various forces, and no one can unify these tribes, so it is in a long-term chaos.

If he is defeated in Songzhou, when he returns to Taozhou, what he is waiting for is to be overthrown, so he can't gamble.

"General, are we just going to give up? Songzhou is rich in pastures, if we can occupy here, it is a great good thing for us, we can take the opportunity to strengthen our power, and we can also become a big tribe like Liangzhou Tubo, and even unify the Hehuang and Longyou regions. The general next to him was a little unwilling.

"There is no way, let's see first, if the situation is favorable to us, we will send troops, if it is unfavorable, we will postpone it, and we can't put the tribe in danger."

Just as a few people were talking, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside.

Three orange war horses galloped over and stopped in front of Shang Guangming's big tent.

Something big is happening!

Seeing the faces of the three cavalrymen, the soldiers guarding the big tent couldn't help but guess in their hearts, and hurriedly lifted the door curtain to let the three of them in.

Shang Guangming and the others had already stopped talking, and before the three cavalrymen entered the big tent, he heard a hurried voice, "General, Tang people, I have found the Tang cavalry." ”

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"What?"

Shang Guangming was a little surprised, he didn't expect the Tang Army to get involved, didn't he say that the Tang people were also caught in civil strife?

"How many people are there in the Tang Army? How much cavalry, how many infantry? Where are they? ”

"General Qiyu, we don't know how many Tang cavalry there are. While we were patrolling, we found a destroyed Wenmo tribe, the living people said it was the Tang Army, with thousands of cavalry, and their direction was Songzhou. ”

"Songzhou?" Hearing that Tang Jun also came for this, everyone in the big tent was a little surprised, they didn't expect the Tang people to also come to get involved in the affairs of Songzhou, but how did the Tang people know about the affairs of Songzhou?

"The next Dan Wangjie!"

The crowd quickly thought of a man, a man who had been defeated and fled before, and who was the only one who would come with the cavalry of the Don.

"Songzhou? Don cavalry? Interesting, it's getting more and more hilarious. ”

It stands to reason that the Tang people don't have many cavalry nearby, which makes Shang Guangming a little puzzled and a little curious.

"General, what now?"

"What should I do?" Shang Guangming took a sip of the liquor he bought from the Tang people, ate a bite of mutton, and laughed, "Let's also go and join in the fun, I also want to see how the Tang people's army is." ”

"General, how many people should we bring?"

"How many? A thousand people are enough, and we are here to see the excitement. ”

As Shang Guangming walked out of the big tent, there were bursts of neighing horses and shouting from people in the entire camp.

Shang Guangming led a thousand light horsemen and horses towards Songzhou, and he also had some expectations for the Tang Army in his heart.

He hadn't seen the Tang Army for a long time, and the Guiyi Army was not a real Tang Army, and their style was similar to that of Tibet. There were thousands of Tang troops in Liangzhou, but that was twenty years ago, and in the past ten years, there were few Tang troops in the Longnan region, and there were small Tang troops in Chengzhou, Wuzhou and Songzhou, but the large troops did not appear.

The reason, he also knew that although the Tang Dynasty was better than Tubo at this time, it was not much better, and he had no energy to send a large army to attack Tubo.

According to the news of the scout, the Tang army that appeared in Songzhou this time was about thousands of people, and he was also very curious about the Tang army of this size, so he took the opportunity to find out the reality of the Tang army.

However, when he arrived in Songzhou, he realized that he was wrong, where was the Tang army only a few thousand people, obviously tens of thousands of cavalry.
