Chapter 603: Beat Tubo and shut himself up

At this point, the entire Nanzhao has been attacked by the Tang Dynasty.

And the time is approaching the end of the year.

Of course, Li Su would not let go of Tubo so easily, but, at least a few years ago, Li Su was not ready to make a move on Tubo.

And the entire Nanzhao, Li Su decided to hand it all over to Duan Yutong.

In fact, now Li Su can completely take the entire Nanzhao into his own territory.

However, in this way, Nanzhao is attacking the Tang Dynasty, and the excuse that he is now at war with Nanzhao will disappear.

At that time, if Li Shimin issued an edict to transfer him to leave, Li Su would not have such a good excuse.

If you don't obey the order, it will be an open rebellion.

It is very likely that there will be a war with the entire Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Li Su is confident that he can protect himself.

It can even crush them.

But along with the war, there are countless casualties, and hundreds of people will suffer.

This is what Li Su does not want to see.

In this case, simply hand over the entire Nanzhao to Duan Yutong and let her be the queen of the entire Nanzhao.

And now, the soldiers of Nanzhao have almost been killed.

Duan Yutong had to rely on the army of the Tang Dynasty in order to rule the entire Nanzhao.

And the recruitment and training all need the help of the Datang army to complete it.

In fact, Duan Yutong was a puppet pushed out by the King of Shu.

……

"Yu Tong, now the entire Nanzhao has been defeated. Your father is gone, and now Nanzhao can only be taken over by you! But don't worry, I will avenge your father's revenge! Wait for next year, we must make Tubo pay the price! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Duan Yutong was completely stunned.

What the?

What did Brother just say?

Said that I would take over Nanzhao?

But how is this possible?

In fact, from the moment her father died, she was just a princess of a dead country.

This means that Nanzhao and her no longer have much to do with her.

But what she never expected was that Brother actually decided to hand over Nanzhao to her.

Duan Yutong said to Li Su gratefully: "Brother, I'm a weak woman, how can I manage the entire Nanzhao?" I, I ......"

Li Su smiled and said, "Yutong, don't worry, I will help you!" This is also my promise to your father! ”

Under Li Yu's persuasion, in the end, Duan Yutong agreed to become the queen of the entire Nanzhao.

However, Duan Yutong also put forward a condition to Li Su.

That is, when she went to Nanzhao to ascend the throne as king, she asked her brother to accompany her.

Li Yu also readily agreed to her request.

The little girl had never experienced such a big scene, and wanted him to help the platform.

This kind of mood can be understood by Li Su.

It seems that the New Year is approaching, but the country cannot be left without an owner for a day.

Li Su is still ready to accompany Duan Yutong to take office a year ago.

After all, the sooner Nanzhao stabilizes, the better.

With Nanzhao's army of 60,000, Li Su decided to leave Wang Fangyi's army of 30,000 behind.

An army of 30,000 is enough to suppress the entire Nanzhao.

The 30,000 troops bought by Xi Junmai were temporarily stationed in Nanzhao and could launch an attack on Tubo at any time.

Accompanied by Li Su, Duan Yutong made a great gift for enthronement as the queen.

Although Nanzhao was beaten into a sieve by the Tang Dynasty, the slaughter of their army also made them very afraid.

But this nation still has a xenophobic mentality.

And now, I didn't expect that in the end, it was Princess Yutong who ascended the throne as the queen.

This is good news for the people of Nanzhao as a whole.

At the very least, it didn't fall into the hands of outsiders.

The enthronement ceremony will be held soon.

Princess Yutong, surrounded by everyone, became the queen of Nanzhao.

Next, naturally, many ministers were rewarded.

These ministers are the team of Duan Yutong, the queen, because everyone will be rewarded by her personally.

Of course, these ministers are naturally based on the old man who has been edicted.

After all, they are the only ones that Duan Yutong trusts and is most familiar with.

Only for those innocuous positions, Duan Yutong selected some talents from other tribes.

At this point, Nanzhao was completely unified, and the Nanzhao Kingdom was officially established.

In order to thank the Tang Shu King for his great help to the unification of Nanzhao.

On the same day, Duan Yutong, the queen of Nanzhao, personally held a banquet to entertain the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.

And on top of the banquet, Queen Duan Yutong took everyone away.

He sat beside the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty and persuaded him to drink.

The color sleeves diligently held the jade cup, but they were drunk and red.

At the end of the drink, Li Su drank a little too much, only felt that his whole body was hot and unbearable, and it seemed that something unexpected had happened.

When Li Su woke up, he found that something had really happened.

He was lying on Queen Nanzhao's dragon bed, and he was wearing no clothes.

If it was just like that, it would be enough, Duan Yutong, the queen of Nanzhao, didn't wear any clothes on her body, so she walked by his side.

Faintly, Li Su could still recall what the two had done.

It seems that this thing is a bit big, Li Su couldn't help but sigh.

……

Fortunately, Queen Nanzhao did not pester him, nor did she pester, and she wanted to marry him.

Even, Duan Yutong also said that she drugged the wine in advance in order to leave a good memory for herself.

And she will always stay in Nanzhao and will not pester him.

Li Su stayed for another three days, and after the third wife, Li Su said goodbye and left.

Then, again, there was a send-off of eighteen phases.

After reluctantly parting, Duan Yutong returned to the palace with a heavy heart.

This time, I guess I can get pregnant, right?

And as long as you are pregnant, you must be a boy!

This is an ancestral secret recipe in their group, as long as you take this medicine on a specific day, the chance of getting pregnant will be greatly increased, and the pregnancy must be a boy.

Well, when my son is born, I'll pass the throne to him, and then I can do other things, hehe.

Originally, Duan Yutong thought that being a queen would be a very hard thing.

But she soon discovered that it wasn't hard at all.

Because, the king of Shu left her a very good and efficient team.

Everything, they will be quickly sorted.

The little things, they take care of themselves.

Big things, they will give their own analysis, and there are different ways to deal with it, which can be chosen for her.

And she just needs to make a choice.

Even, if she wants to be lazy, she can leave these things to her subordinates.

Because they will handle it more perfectly than they can handle it themselves.

Of course, if she has a strong desire to control, she can actually collect all the rights.

Duan Yutong felt that except for the military power, which was difficult for her to touch, the other regimes were actually under her control.

At this time, Duan Yutong was thinking about how to protect the fetus, so she didn't bother to care about those political affairs.

After leaving everything to his subordinates to deal with, it didn't take long for Duan Yutong to faintly feel that he seemed to be really pregnant!

……

After Li Su went back, the year was over.

Before you know it, another year has passed.

In February, Tang Taizong ordered the generals to send troops in Luoyang.

Xiao Yu stayed behind for Luoyang Palace.

In March, Li Shimin arrived in Dizhou.

Then let Li Tai, the king of Wei, stay in the prison state.

In the original historical trajectory, Li Shimin had already designated Li Zhi as the crown prince.

But in this world, Li Shimin has not yet decided on the position of the crown prince.

First, it is different from the original historical trajectory.

In the original historical trajectory, Li Tai, the king of Wei, had no other competitors, so he was extremely inflated.

But now, Li Ke, the king of Qi, especially Li Su, the king of Shu, are his strong competitors.

In this life, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was not so inflated.

And Li Shimin had also considered whether to make King Wei the crown prince.

But once the king of Wei is established as the crown prince, it is very likely that the king of Shu, Li Su, will be directly pushed to the opposite side.

Now, Li Shimin has to consider the influence of Li Su, the king of Shu.

He already has two sons who have rebelled, which is a very slap in the face for Li Shimin, who has always been strong.

Fortunately, whether it is Li You or the former prince Li Chengqian.

The consequences of their rebellion were extremely limited.

But if Li Su, the king of Shu, rebelled, it would be very different.

Li Su not only has unfathomable strength, but even has good friends with many generals in the DPRK and China.

If he rebelled, Li Shimin was not even sure whether he would succeed in the end.

Therefore, without being completely sure that he could control the King of Shu, Li Shimin did not dare to establish a prince.

The identity of the crown prince was not established, and Li Tai, the king of Wei, was also very anxious.

But this time, his father actually let him stay, is this a disguised recognition of his identity as the crown prince?

Li Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed.

In April, the army came to Xuansu.

Li Shiyun took Gaimu City in one fell swoop, captured more than 20,000 people, and obtained more than 100,000 stone of grain.

Li Shimin came to Beiping through Youzhou.

Cangzhou assassin Shi Xibi was executed for embezzlement and perversion of the law.

And Zhang Liang crossed the sea from Donglai to attack Beisha City, captured more than 8,000 people, and came to the Yalu River.

Li Shichang sent troops to the city of Liaodong.

At this time, Goryeo finally became frightened.

Goryeo sent 40,000 cavalry to prepare to relieve Liaodong.

Generals such as Li Shichang and Li Daozong defeated Goryeo's reinforcements and beheaded more than 1,000 people.

Li Shimin crossed the Liaoshui directly and demolished the bridge.

Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge shows Li Shimin's determination that there is no way out.

Li Shiyun attacked Liaodong City, and Li Shimin personally led the elite soldiers and his division, and surrounded Liaodong City in the future.

In the end, the city was broken, more than 10,000 defenders were killed, more than 40,000 people were captured, and the name of the city was changed to Liaozhou.

Then he went on to attack Baiyan City, Li Simo hit the crossbow arrow, and Taizong himself sucked blood; He Li fought with the wounded and broke the Goryeo rescuers.

……

At this time, in the Tang Dynasty Jiannan Province, Li Su gathered a total of 110,000 troops in Jiannan Province to jointly attack Tubo.

In last year's war, Tibet lost more than 40,000 soldiers and horses.

At this time, his total strength was still 150,000 people.

Although he is on the defensive side, although his total strength is more than that of Datang.

But for some reason, Songtsen Gampo always had a feeling of insecurity in his heart.

Even, he regrets it very much now, why did he go against Datang in the first place?

Why did you send troops to attack Nanzhao?

If I hadn't attacked Nanzhao last year, how good it would have been!

Datang may not necessarily attack us, right?

It's just that it's too late to say anything!

And Datang's attack speed is too fast.

It was almost to the point that Songtsen Gampo and the national teacher Zhang Jianghe were completely caught off guard.

In the first battle, they were ready to rely on the geographical advantages and their superior cavalry to give Datang a dismount.

But what they didn't expect was that the first war directly beat them stupid.13

Datang used the cooperation of chariots, iron cavalry and infantry to exert terrifying combat power.

Under the First World War, almost all the 10,000 cavalry in Tibet were wiped out.

This battle made the Tibetans truly realize the huge gap between them and the Tang army.

Next, Tubo was completely beaten and shut up.

No longer dare to engage in field battles with Datang, close the city gates, and strictly defend them.

In the battlefield of Nanzhao, Tubo also learned enough lessons.

The cities of Tubo are also taller and stronger than those of Nanzhao.

If Datang wants to attack them by attacking Nanzhao again, it will be difficult to work.

Now in the case that the strength of the two sides is not much different, in fact, the strength of Tubo still occupies a certain advantage, and they rely on defense, and they do not believe that they can not stop the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

But it soon became clear that they seemed to be thinking too much.

In the first siege battle, the offensive speed of Datang was not slower than when attacking Nanzhao.

This time they did not choose the means of stealing the city at night, and directly used giant catapults.

It only took a few huge stones to blast through their gates.

Next, the Don army quickly entered the city.

In the following street battles, the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army was actually sharper than that of the field battle.

The terrain of street fighting is narrower, and there is less room to dodge.

Whether it is the crossbow arrows or the sharpness of the weapons, the Tang army is difficult for them to match.

Soon, the city was broken, and the soldiers defending the city were all killed.

As for the people of Tubo, as long as they are obedient and obedient, Tang Junqiu will not commit any crimes.

In just ten days, Datang went down to ten cities in a row.

Slaughtered 50,000 defenders of the Tibetan city.

At this point, there were less than 90,000 Tibetan troops left.

And the 110,000 army of the Tang Dynasty basically did not attrition.

The disparity in strength between the two sides has become wider and wider.

Up to now, more than one-third of the territory of Tibet has been occupied by the Yizhou army.

The good news is that in the future, the terrain of Tibet will gradually rise, and the terrain will become more complex and varied.

Datang's chariot array, I'm afraid it won't be of much use.

However, Datang's endless way of fighting made them unexpected.

As for whether they can resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is Songtsan Gampo or their national teacher Zhang Jianghe, they are not half sure.

Fortunately, at this time, Datang slowed down the pace of the attack.

It seems that Datang is trimming and digesting.

When they digest the city they occupy, I am afraid that it will be time for the two sides to meet each other.

In fact, the reason why Li Su was not in a hurry to attack was mainly to let the Tang army gradually adapt.

The terrain of Tibet is complex and changeable, and it is difficult to attack?

Li Su felt that he was afraid that Songtsen Gampo was thinking too much.

Li Su's main concern was the altitude sickness of Tibet.

In the battle between Datang and Tubo, why did Datang not take Tubo for a long time?

Altitude sickness is one of the important factors.

After the Tang army entered the plateau, the terrifying altitude sickness would greatly reduce their combat effectiveness.

It can even lose seventy percent of its combat effectiveness.

In such a state, it was difficult to win against the Tibetan soldiers.

And Li Su is giving the Tang soldiers a time to adapt.

The main thing is to do some adaptive exercises, and then take Gao Yuanan oral liquid.

Of course, this oral liquid is actually an important cauldron of soup to brew, and then everyone should take it on time every day.

After five to seven days of adaptation, nine out of ten soldiers gradually began to adapt.

For the very few soldiers who could not adapt, Li Su directly withdrew all the people.

There are some people, or suffering from certain diseases, who can no longer stay on the plateau.

The soldiers who were removed were still very unwilling and very annoyed......

……

Tubo, Zhang Jianghe's face was pale, and he asked their Zampu to punish himself with death.

In the Battle of Nanzhao, the reason why Tubo sent troops was that it was made at his instigation.

Without his instigation, Songtsen Gampo would not have sent troops.

Zhang Jianghe begged their Zampu to put all the blame on him, and then handed him over to Datang to dispose of.

They will give Datang a certain amount of compensation, maybe Datang will let them go.

Because historically, the rulers of the Central Plains have not looked down on these remote places of theirs.

The rulers of the Central Plains considered them to be the richest piece of land.

As for their barren land, they have no interest in it.

Through this method, it may be possible to obtain the opportunity for Datang to withdraw from the army.

And that's pretty much the only way for them.

After receiving the above table from the national teacher Zhang Jianghe, Songtsen Gampo fell into silence.

The method of the national teacher really made him excited.

If they can really solve the crisis in Tibet, sacrificing the national teacher alone is an acceptable plan.

But Songtsen Gampo had an intuition in his heart, this time, the King of Shu was afraid that he would not let them go.

If he really handed over the national teacher, but the king of Shu refused to withdraw his troops, then he would completely lose the hearts of the people.

After some comprehensive consideration, instead of convicting Zhang Jianghe, Songtsen Gampo still trusted Zhang Jianghe.

He still ordered Zhang Jianghe to command all the troops in Tibet to resist the Tang Dynasty.

Zampu's kindness made Zhang Jianghe grateful.

Zhang Jianghe asked to see Songtsen Gampo, and after thanking him, he couldn't help but say to Songtsen Gampo:

"Zampu, we are afraid that it will be difficult to resist the offensive of the King of Shu. We must seek other ways to save ourselves. ”

Hearing Zhang Jianghe's words, Songtsen Gampo hurriedly asked, "National teacher, please say, what are we going to do?" ”

Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but say: "The subordinates think, first, that the princess can intercede with the king of Shu." Of course, this hope is very small, it is just to do one's best and obey the destiny of heaven. ”

"The second is that we can make a statement to the Tang Emperor and be willing to become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty."

"Now, the Tang Emperor is very suspicious of the King of Shu. He was afraid that he didn't want the king of Shu to take Tubo. ”

"Because once the king of Shu takes Tubo, the king of Shu will have Nanzhao, Tuyuhun, Tubo, and Jiannandao."

"This large area, not to mention half of the Tang Dynasty, but it is not much different."

"As long as we can hold out for a few months, Li Shimin will inevitably accept us as a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty and order the King of Shu to withdraw his troops."

After listening to Zhang Jianghe's plan, Songtsen Gampo couldn't help but nod again and again.

Yes, that's true!

Although in this case, they will become a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but it is better than the death of the country, right?

Immediately, Songtsen Gampo immediately sent out men and began to deploy.

On the princess's side, in fact, long before Songtsen Gampo began to deploy.

The princess of Tubo asked to see the king of Shu many times and tried to intercede.

But Li Su was never seen.

This road, in fact, was blocked from the beginning.

And submitting their credentials to Datang is their only way.

In order to prevent being intercepted by the Tang army, Songtsen Gampo sent a company of thirty envoys, who lurked out from different roads.

Now although the Tang army is attacking Tibet, and faintly forming a semi-encircled posture.

But in fact, the territory of Tibet is vast, and it is impossible for this encirclement to be leaky.

Of course, it is definitely impossible for the Tibetan army to pass through these gaps, and it is bound to be discovered by the Tang army.

However, if it is only an individual who passes, there is a good chance that he will be able to smuggle through.

Of course, there is naturally a great chance that he will be caught by Tang Jun.

Among these thirty people, there were eighteen unlucky ghosts, who were captured by the Tang army.

The national certificate was searched from them and handed it to Li Su.

Seeing these national letters, Li Su smiled slightly.

It seems that now Tubo is really in a hurry, and even used this method.

However, it is a pity that there is one thing that Songtsen Gampo does not know, right?

Now my father is not in the palace, my father is now leading the army and is attacking Goryeo.

And the one left behind was Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was not even a prince.

In the face of such a big event, he can't be the master at all.

This kind of national major event can only be decided after consulting the emperor.

And by the time he asked the emperor, Tubo had already been taken down by his own family.

Although the strategy is good, it can't quench the thirst of the near by far water!

This time, Songtsen Gampo is afraid that he has completely miscalculated!

……

In June, Li Shimin set out from Liaodong and marched to attack Anseong, and 150,000 soldiers from Goryeo and Hye-jin led Goryeo and Gyala to rescue Anseong in northern Goryeo.

Arriving at the place of eight miles east of the city, relying on the mountain formation, it is more than forty miles long.

Li Shimin commanded Li Shixian, Changsun Wuji and other armies, marching in unison, and the generals fought bravely to kill the enemy and were invincible.

Goryeo was defeated, and in this battle, more than 20,000 Goryeo soldiers were killed.

More than 36,800 people led by Yanshou and Huizhen surrendered.

More than 50,000 horses, more than 50,000 cattle, and tens of thousands of armor were captured.

The whole country of Goryeo was extremely shocked.

is a small country, and now it finally understands the horror of the big Tang Dynasty.

After several battles, their Goryeo Kingdom has been rubbed by the Tang Dynasty on their heads, and they have not won even a decent battle.

Next, Goryeo had to shrink again.

Relying on the complex terrain of their country, they shrank their heads like turtles and guarded them strictly.
