Chapter Twenty-Nine: See You in Chang'an
The establishment of the new city was in full swing, and Dazarugon was completely silent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This made Pei Min can't help but glance at him, knowing how to advance and retreat, and only then can he have the air of a famous general. From this point, it can be seen that neither Simarang nor Shangzanpo is as rational and rational as Dazarukon.
Pei Min originally wanted to make a little more progress and directly build the new fortress on the edge of Qinghai Lake.
But reality sounded a wake-up call for him, so that he was not a little more greedy sensibly.
In the battle of Moliyi, the Tang army won a complete victory.
The results of the battle are self-evident, after the war statistics, the number of Tibetan dead soldiers is as high as more than 15,000, and 16,000 Tibetan soldiers have become prisoners.
The Tang army also paid a certain price, the most injured of which was the Mo Dao Army, with up to half of the casualties, and more than 200 seriously wounded, and only 800 of the 2,000 Mo Dao Army were able to fight now.
In the battle of Moliyi, the Modao Army first carried the Tubo heavy cavalry, and then the light cavalry of the Gangzhong Army, their merits are obvious to all, Pei Min has already made a credit book and gave them the first-class merit table, which is also expected.
The total loss of the other soldiers was four thousand, not to mention the serious and minor wounded.
The two sides combined with nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, and almost everyone was injured as long as they were combatants.
Today's Tang Army is all physically fit people selected by the conscription system, and their physique has little impact on altitude sickness on this side of Qinghai Lake, at most physical exertion is intensified.
But with the injury, the situation is different.
In the face of altitude sickness, many injured soldiers faintly showed signs of dizziness and vomiting.
Even Guo Zhiyun also had a similar altitude sickness, Pei Min knew that he was already sick, so he asked him to lead his troops down the plateau to receive Jintianqiao, Da Momen City, and Shudun City, and officially included Hexi Jiuqu Land in his hands.
In this case, Pei Min knew that moderation was the best way. Too much greed can lead to the destruction of a good situation.
In the face of the Tang army's efforts to repair the fortress, there was no movement in Tibet, and the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding that when each other did not exist, they would not interfere with each other.
As time passed, the fortress gradually took shape.
On this day, Pei Min was studying the value of Qinghai Lake and found that Qinghai Lake was really a treasure of feng shui. Its land is fertile and its resources are so abundant that it is almost gathered in one place, and even Datang cannot find such a treasure land as Qinghai Lake.
"Sooner or later, one day, Qinghai Lake will be snatched!"
Pei Min thought with a bit of greed.
"Pei Shuai!" Guo Wenbin came to ask for a meeting, and said: "When the last general was patrolling, he met a group of Tubo people, who did not carry weapons, and said that they asked to see Pei Shuai. ”
Pei Min was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Let them come over, Xu is an old friend." ”
After a while, Guo Wenbin led a person into the big tent.
As Pei Min expected, it was his old friend Long Langchi, a famous minister in Tubo.
Long Langchi is good at arguing and has been sent to Datang many times, and is familiar with the situation of Datang, so he is the best choice for the envoy.
"Long Lang Red Messenger, welcome, welcome, long time no see, the demeanor is still the same!" Pei Min greeted him like an old friend, and said with a smile: "Why don't you see the special envoy of Ai Xue?" Chang'an farewell, very nostalgic. ”
The corners of Long Lang's red mouth twitched, the last time he sent Ai Xuete to the army, he had no land, but he lost the face of Tubo. Although Tubo Zampu did not blame and punish him, he himself did not have the shame to continue to serve as a diplomatic envoy and directly dismissed his post.
Even if Pei Min couldn't guess this detail, he also knew that as long as he existed for a day, it would be impossible for Ai Xuete to envoy Datang again, so it was purely for disgusting Long Langchi.
In front of the Tibetan envoys, Pei Min has never been stingy.
Long Lang Chicheng Mansion has a very high level of cultivation, and he is not angry, and said with a smile: "Ai Xuete has another job, and this time the envoy is under the sole responsibility of the old man." Saying that, he sighed and said, "Pei Guogong is really young and promising!" At your age, you have such feats, and throughout the ages, in your China, only Huo Quai, a hussar general in the Han Dynasty, can be compared. ”
Pei Min squinted and smiled: "Thank you for the praise, the envoy has not dealt with me once or twice, you should know that I like sincerity the most." With less routines and more sincerity, the world will be a better place. Our friendship will also be strengthened by it. ”
Long Langchi naturally remembered Pei Min's domineering words at the beginning, he really let that sentence be suppressed at that time, and from Pei Min's tone and attitude, he could see that he was not bluffing, and even had the idea of giving up Hexi Jiuqu to Datang, so that the friendship between the two countries was the best choice.
Back to the time when Tubo reported the situation to Zampu, he tactfully expressed an attitude, feeling that the rise of the Tang Dynasty was unstoppable, but Tubo was not in charge, and there had not yet been a famous minister and good general who could carry the overall situation. It's better to take a step back and open the sky.
His statement caused the displeasure of Chi Ma Lun, who was known as Wu Zetian of Tubo, and even caused ridicule from his political enemies, who laughed at him for being an envoy to the Tang Dynasty several times, admiring and fearing the Tang Dynasty, and saying such words that would increase the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige.
Long Lang was full of helplessness and grievances, and he could only hold back in his heart.
Even he didn't expect Pei Min to act so quickly, recovering the Jiuqu land in Hexi in just five or six months, and extending his tentacles to Qinghai Lake and the lifeblood of Tubo's economic resources.
At this time, Tubo was really panicked, and was defeated repeatedly, and Tubo's national strength was greatly damaged.
Although all of them are soldiers, and if they really want to be forcibly recruited, they can still recruit enough troops to fight Datang to the death.
But what is the use of building a foundation and leaving only a depressed empty box?
It was only at this time that Chi Malen regretted not listening to Long Langchi's golden and jade words.
In the face of the current situation, Chi Maren once again communicated with Long Langchi, and once again moved the idea of peace, and reappointed Long Langchi as the envoy.
This time, Chi Ma Lun also used the princess Jincheng who married to Tubo, and asked her to intercede with Li Longji, hoping to re-conclude the covenant with her nephew and uncle, and was willing to pay tribute every year to show her sincerity.
Long Langchi came to Pei Min's army first, and he also came to make peace.
"Since that's the case, then the old decay will say it directly, I hope ......"
"Wait!" Pei Min suddenly interrupted Long Langchi's words and said, "For the sake of the friendship between us, I will say a word in advance." As you said, there is no reason to spit out the meat in your mouth. If you have the ability, you can snatch it back from me, but if I have to spit it out myself, then our friendship will come to an end. ”
Long Langchi smiled and said: "The old man is a friend who is really friends with Guogong, how can he say such brazen words?" I came to see Guogong today, just to catch up on the past, not for anything else. He knew that Pei Min would not let go, so he simply didn't say anything, went to Chang'an to talk to a good bully, and avoided Pei Min, a difficult guy.
Pei Min looked at him and said sincerely: "In a few days, I will rush back to wait for the birth of the child, and we will see you in Chang'an!" ”
