Chapter 8: Damn Pei Min (2-in-1)
Qinghai Lake is in the west of the city's big camp stable!
Duo Rilong personally inspected the excellent mounts, and kept praising the stables on the side.
Qinghai Cheng travels thousands of miles a day, and is called a dragon species.
Although this statement is exaggerated, it also proves Qinghai Cong's agility from the side.
The Tibetan heavy armored cavalry is powerful, and it is inseparable from Qinghai Cong's strong physique and explosiveness.
Datang's Hequ Horse is better than Qinghai in terms of explosiveness, but its physical strength is not the same.
Since the Tubo people have absorbed the characteristics of Tugu Hun good horses and love horses, they have also been extremely cautious in taking care of horses, and have adopted unified norms and control.
When to run a horse, when to stock, when to feed the **grain hay, all have their own way.
This day is the time to feed the fine grain hay uniformly.
Concentrate is a mixture of corn, soybeans, sorghum and barley, which can supplement all the nutritional needs of war horses.
Truckloads of grain have been shipped out of the warehouse and are being sent to the stables for feeding.
"Thank you for your hard work, just leave this heavy work to them, and we will go to the tent to make a fire. It's damn weather, it's late spring, and it's still so cold! ”
Duo Rilong pointed at the Tuyuhun people who were doing rough work, and scolded and said.
Looking at the somewhat ragged Tuguhun, Duo Rilong sighed in his heart, no wonder they rebelled......
It's all to blame on the damn Pei Min!
Duo Rilong hated it in his heart.
As the overlord of the southwest, Tibet had a population of 8 million at its peak, second only to the 30 million in the Tang Dynasty. It's just that it's not the peak of Tibet, and 30 years after history will be the peak of Tibet.
At present, there are only more than 5 million people in the whole Tibetan ethnic group, but even this population number stands out from many other ethnic groups in the surrounding area.
You must know that the population of the Xiongnu and Turks at their peak was only one million.
However, there are not many Tubo people of their own blood, only accounting for 30% of the total, and the rest are all people of various ethnic groups who rely on conquest and destruction of the country.
These inhabitants are also divided into three, six, nine and so on according to class rank.
Among them, the native people of Tibet have the highest natural status, followed by Yangtong, Zhangxiong and Zhuqiang, which are located on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
This status is determined according to the time of submission to Tibet, Tuyuhun is the last country to be subjugated by Tibet, and the status of the people is second to that of Yangtong, Zhangxiong, Zhuqiang and other people.
Of course, they are not the lowest, the lowest are the Tang people and all the defeated captives, they are slaves, doing heavy and hard work.
In the original slaves, there were no human rights, and they were free to beat and scold, and they were free to live and kill.
There are slaves, although Tuyuhun's status is not high, but he has not received much unbearable treatment.
Until the appearance of Pei Min.
Pei Min tried his best to obtain slaves from the Tang people again and again through war, through trade, and through various means of loss.
As a direct result, the number of slaves doing rough work in Tibet was greatly reduced, and there was a situation where no one was available.
For this reason, the Tibetan royal family also issued a special order not to kill slaves at will, so as not to aggravate the situation.
The number of slaves was greatly reduced, and the Tibetans were defeated again and again, and more labor was needed to restore the economy.
In this case, Tuyuhun inevitably took over.
They weren't as lowly as slaves, but they weren't much different.
Duo Rilong believes that if it weren't for the influence caused by Pei Min, Tuyuhun would never have chosen to leave his hometown to survive in the Tang Dynasty.
"Damn it!"
Thinking about his future path, even if he was dissatisfied in his heart, he had to honestly follow the arrangement.
The 11th year of Kaiyuan, March 16.
Under the call of Murong Yan, the prince of Tuyuhun, the Tuyuhun people, who had been oppressed by labor, finally couldn't bear the oppression and rebelled.
The group held high the banner of righteousness and flocked to Dangjin Pass one after another.
The move shook the entire Qinghai Lake.
Qinghai Marshal Dazarugon pursued the rebel general Furangzan, and Duo Rilong, who held the position of deputy general, was the supreme principal.
Compared with Marshal Dazarugon, Xianzanpu's most trusted love general, Duo Rilong, is obviously more popular with the army.
Duo Rilong also commanded Ruoding, stabilized the situation, and asked the generals of Qinghai Lake to continue as always, not to mess with themselves, and at the same time worried that the untrustworthy Tang army would break the alliance, and transfer troops to the Tangbo Ancient Road in the direction of Mo Liyi to defend it, so as not to take advantage of the opportunity for the Tang army to enter.
Duo Rilong himself led his own army and horses to pursue Murong Yan.
There are 8,000 elite horsemen under his command, and Murong Yan certainly has 80,000 people, but most of them are ordinary people, and they are still sandwiched between old and weak women and children, so they are not able to fight at all.
The generals did not suspect it, and obeyed the order.
For many days, the steady point gathered troops and horses, prepared food and grass for many days, and launched a pursuit.
However, just when Duo Rilong chased out of the twenty miles, the mounts of the pursuing army had problems one by one, and the weak legs could not sell their steps, and they could not stop straining.
Many well-trained cavalrymen fell directly to the ground and broke their legs and feet.
Duo Rilong Tie blushed, pulled the reins, and said sharply: "What's the situation! ”
The adjutant also looked at all this with a blank face, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the horse manure, grabbed some and sniffed it, and said angrily: "It's Croton, our horse gave Croton." Cunning Tuyuhun, damn it! ”
The adjutant angrily reported the situation to Duo Ri Long.
"Adjutant General, what are we going to do? Why don't you go back and change horses? The adjutant had a furious look on his face, and his eyes were full of evil.
As a Tibetan man, he hated Tibetan traitors the most.
It's just that he doesn't know that at this moment, the chief he respects the most is also a traitor.
"We don't know how much preparation they have made, whether the horses elsewhere have also been drugged." Back and forth, I don't know how long it will be delayed. In this case, you can't ride a horse, abandon the horse and chase, there are many of them, and we have few people, so we can catch up. ”
The adjutant was skilled in raising horses, and knew that a horse that ate croton would surely die if he barely ran away.
With the loss of the Jiuqu land in Hexi, Tubo lost half of the horse farms, and for them now, 8,000 war horses is not a small number.
The adjutant did not doubt him, and shouted angrily: "Everyone, abandon the horse, pursue!" ”
Duo Rilong pursued earnestly.
Tuyuhun arranged for people to be disguised, and many times he set up suspicious formations and performed anti-tracking techniques.
Duo Rilong led his soldiers and horses, "very unfortunately" drilled straight into the suspicious array, went around, and pursued the people with soldiers, but chased farther and farther, and gradually lost his trace......
It wasn't until a day later that Duo Rilong learned that the people of Tuyuhun had entered the Dangjin Pass.
For many days, he was so angry that he scolded his mother in front of the heavy soldiers, and still persevered to chase after Dangjin Pass.
Eight thousand soldiers swarmed into the mountain.
Looking at the panting soldiers, Tajilong gave the order to rest.
After resting for about half an hour, Tajilong was about to set off in pursuit, when the sound of hurried horses' hooves came from behind him.
Duo Rilong's face changed.
The soldiers in the rear gradually moved out of the way.
Qinghai Lake's young marshal Enlan Dazarugon walked closer step by step.
"I've seen the marshal!" Duo Rilong dismounted and came to a nearby place to salute.
"Curious, huh? Adjutant General Dorilong, why am I not on the way to the Big and Small Breud, but here? Dazarugon looked at Tajilong with a gloomy face, his eyes full of disbelief and murderous intent.
In Qinghai Lake, there are many people who disagree with him as a marshal.
Dazarugon's general order is difficult, and it is difficult to be effectively implemented under the disobedience of yang and yin.
In his heart, there are many people who want to settle accounts after the autumn. The only exception is Tarilong......
Although Taurilong doesn't take him as a marshal very seriously, but Taurilong's calmness and loyalty show his value.
Subduing it and becoming his own arm was Dazarukon's ultimate plan.
I really don't want to, this veteran I trust and fancy has become a traitor.
"Marshal, what do you mean by that?" Many days were dazed, with a bit of anger.
Dazarugong searched out a piece of leather from his arms, smashed it at Duo Rilong, and said sharply: "This is the evidence that you collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and you are cooperating with Tuyuhun's escape." That's why you transferred others out of Fuqi City, that's why your horses ate Croton, so you are a general for many days, and you will be like an idiot, playing with a group of people. ”
Duo Ri Longhuo rushed up all of a sudden, and said with a red face: "You slander me!" ”
He's so angry!
The traitor is true, but there is no evidence at all.
He himself did not know that there was such a letter, and there was no other explanation than to plant the blame.
Dazarugon intends to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate all unfavorable existences, even at the expense of self-perjury.
Dazaru Gong Tie scolded with a blue face: "Still use me to slander? From the very beginning, this is a game, and you are interlocking, just to cooperate with this group of Tuyuhun people to throw themselves at Li Tang. Without your cooperation, 80,000 people can simply escape into this mountain of gold? ”
Furongzan's defection, Dazarugon didn't think so much about it at first.
The pursuit was carried out decisively, and it was pursued personally.
This is my own fault, and I must make up for it.
Moreover, Fu Rongzan is a general, and many people in the army are better with him.
Let others pursue, in case he can't make a effort, let Furozan successfully escape, and he, the marshal, will not be able to continue to lead the troops.
But in the middle of the pursuit, Dazarugon suddenly reacted.
The future No. 1 general of Tubo already has a good vision.
It is possible for Furozan to defect, but there is no reason for him to choose to flee to the Western Regions and to the Great and Small Boru.
The traffic artery between the Western Regions and the western and northwestern regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the only way for Qinghai Lake to reach the Western Regions.
The strength of the big and small Bolu is very weak, relying on the geographical advantage, holding the thigh of the Tang Dynasty to survive so far.
It is absolutely impossible for the big and small Bolu to offend the Tibetans for the sake of Furangzan and fall into the tongue of beating.
Fu Langzan did not rebel against Li Tang, and went to the Western Regions to rebel against the countries of the Western Regions?
There is no logic at all?
Sensing the odds, Dazarugon immediately arranged for his trusted people to pursue him, and he returned to the city.
Sure enough, something happened.
Tuyuhun rebelled in a big way, and Duo Rilong personally led his soldiers to pursue.
Dazarugon learned of Tarilong's "reasonable" arrangement, and instantly suspected his motives. Knowing that he had played Tuyuhun around, he strengthened his conviction even more, hurried all the way, and falsified evidence.
Listening to Dazarugon's righteous rebuke, Duo Rilong's adjutant was also inexplicably shocked in his heart, this road Duo Rilong was indeed a little abnormal.
It's just out of respect for his own commander, the adjutant didn't have any doubts, and now let Dazarugon break it, he instantly became suspicious, looked at Duo Rilong with a little disbelief, picked up the leather on the ground, looked at the contents of the leather, looked at Fu Rongzan hoarsely, and said in a trembling voice: "Why? ”
Dazarugon drank directly: "Take it!" ”
The soldiers of Dorilong did not move.
Dazarugon's guards swarmed up and pinned Tajilong to the ground.
For many days, Long scolded angrily, but his soldiers moved.
Duo Rilong is quite popular with the army, and his prestige is also good. But his prestige was not enough for the soldiers to follow him in rebellion and turn their backs on their country.
Dazarugon didn't seem to be in a hurry to pursue, and recounted Duo Rilong's crimes in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, until he escorted the military second-in-command of Qinghai Lake to the rear.
The adjutant was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and shouted: "Marshal, give the order to pursue, I will screw off the heads of those spitting dogs!" ”
Dazaru Gong pulled the adjutant's hand and said: "Bu Gexi's brave name, I have admired it for a long time, but this incident is obviously a bureau that Li Tang and Tuyuhun have already arranged, catch up, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!" Look, what's over there? ”
He pointed to the peak of Dangjin Mountain and said patiently.
Adjutant Bu Gexi looked at the undulating peaks blankly and said, "What? ”
"It's just nothing!" Dazaru Gong said: "On the opposite side of this mountain range are Li Tang's Shazhou and Guazhou, and they only need to climb over this mountain to enter our Qinghai Lake. In this mountain, we arranged more than 20 beacons. Tuyuhun and they have been in the mountain for so long, and there is no warning from a single beacon, which shows that there are not only those traitors in Tuyuhun in this mountain, but there is probably a Tang army. Once we go deeper, I'm afraid there will be no return......"
He looked at the deep mountains, and he was a little stunned in his heart, just Pei Min's bear-hearted leopard guts, what can't he do?
*********
Ziting guards!
During this event, Pei Min came here in person.
is playing an elephant opera with Wang Zhonghe, which is the predecessor of chess.
Pei Min is a good Go player, but Wang Zhongsi is not good at this, and Pei Min can only wronged himself.
Knowing that Dazaru Gong took Duo Rilong's move but did not enter the mountain to pursue Tuyuhun, Pei Min nodded and said, "Zhonghei, what do you think?" ”
Wang Zhongsi said: "No wonder Brother Min asked me to pay more attention to this Dazaru Gong, he is indeed a character. It's a bit remarkable to make a lot of money in the defeat. Moreover, he seems to know Brother Min very well. ”
Pei Min was not very accustomed to the method of elephant opera, and after thinking about it for a while, he took a step and said, "What do you say?" ”
Wang Zhongsi said: "React in a very short moment, do everything possible to save the defeat, see the Tuyuhun people entering the mountain, it is not possible, calmly choose to retreat, advance and retreat properly." I don't know Brother Min very well, so I won't even dare to enter my own territory. He should have believed that Brother Min had the courage to ignore the Tang Fan Covenant and move troops across the border, so he didn't dare to enter. I also know that he has always regarded Brother Min as his fierce rival and the object of defeat. ”
Pei Min said with a smile: "His next step should be to use this opportunity to purge those who disobey him, so that he can fully control the military and political affairs of Qinghai Lake." On the one hand, he risked chasing and killing some old and weak women and children, and on the other hand, he chose the latter. In the future, the Tibetan military will inevitably take the lead of others. This guy, the future is up to you. ”
Wang Zhongsi said happily: "I understand, the guy who doesn't know the height of the sky, he doesn't need Brother Min, and his brother can clean it up." ”
