Chapter 467: Tubo is fooled
To the infinite surprise of Fushun and Tuyuhun people, the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty is really a believer.
They said they wanted to help them, and it only took three days for the army to march directly into their Tuyuhun territory.
Originally, they thought that it would be good for Datang to dispatch 10,000 soldiers and horses, and even five or six thousand soldiers and horses were possible.
But the Tang Dynasty has now sent out 50,000 soldiers and horses!
This is the heart that has been beaten!
This time it was General Xue Rengui who led the troops.
Xi Junmai stayed in Yizhou and garrisoned.
Now, the 10,000 soldiers of the former Zhichong Mansion are all under the command of Xi Junmai.
Recently, Xi Junmai wants to train the army.
There are 10,000 soldiers of Zhichong Mansion, which is enough to ensure the safety of Jiannan Dao.
And now Wang Fangyi is also leading 10,000 recruits, and it is absolutely safe to do so.
Tuyuhun's Khan Fushun received Xue Rengui ceremoniously, then slaughtered cattle and sheep, rewarded 50,000 troops, and each soldier was given a hardship fee of 100 Wen.
With these 50,000 troops, Tuyuhun's safety can definitely be guaranteed.
Xue Rengui did not stay in the capital of Tuyuhun for too long, and three days later, Xue Rengui led an army of 50,000 and drove directly to the border between Tuyuhun and the Turks.
Fu Shun saw that the army of the Tang Dynasty was so real, and he didn't ask them to follow Tuyuhun's army at all, or to be the vanguard.
Instead, he came straight to the forefront.
Once Tuyuhun's army enters the palace, they will inevitably bear the brunt.
Datang, it's really interesting, Fu Shun was moved to tears.
……
At this time, Tubo also got this situation.
The 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty suddenly entered Tuyuhun and stationed in Tuyuhun and their frontiers.
What's going on here?
This couldn't help but make Songtsen Gampo and Tubo's national teacher Zhang Jianghe vigilant.
Eh, Zhang Jianghe, the national teacher of Tubo, was cheated by Li Su at the critical moment of withdrawing from Tuyuhun.
Zhang Jianghe, who led the Turkic army, jumped into the pit himself and was flooded.
Eight thousand Turkic soldiers, almost all casualties.
And Zhangjiang River was really fateful, it was washed away by the flood, and it was not drowned.
It was washed out for dozens of miles, and then washed away in shallow water on the shore.
An hour later, Zhang Jianghe woke up quietly and returned to Turk in despair.
After going back, Zhang Jianghe got the information that after their Turkic army was swept away by the flood, the Tang army suddenly appeared from behind the Tuyuhun army and almost slaughtered them.
The Tang army even attacked the capital of Tuyuhun, killed their khan Fu Yun, and established Fu Yun's son Fu Shun as the new khan.
Tuyuhun became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty.
After getting the news, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help frowning tightly.
Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but think of an idiom in the Tang Dynasty, where sandpipers and mussels compete for fishermen's profits.
And Zhang Jianghe always felt that all this seemed to be controlled by someone behind his back.
Then, Zhang Jianghe ordered someone to collect the calligraphy of Li Su, the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.
Compared with the instructions of the heavens on the leaves, Zhang Jianghe was almost angry and vomited blood.
Where is this special mother's instructions from God? This is clearly the handwriting of the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty!
At this point, Zhang Jianghe finally understood.
All of this is the ghost of the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.
After understanding all this, Zhang Jianghe's teeth were about to be crushed.
……
This time, the Tang Dynasty once again sent 50,000 soldiers and horses to the border of Tibet, which caused a high degree of vigilance in Tibet.
Last time, they lost 50,000 soldiers and horses at once.
This is more than one-third of their soldiers and horses in Tibet.
What does Datang want to do now?
Are you ready to attack them from both sides from Tuyuhun and Yizhou?
Songtsen Gampo and Zhang Jianghe conspired for a long time, but they never got the point.
If you really want to attack them, it doesn't seem like enough to have such a small number of troops, right?
If you don't attack them, don't you need to eat military pay if you put your soldiers and horses on the frontier?
However, everyone is on the border, and they have to be on guard.
As a result, Tubo sent 30,000 soldiers and horses to deploy in the towns near the frontier, staring at every move of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses.
And this situation once again made Tuyuhun's Khan Fu Shun afraid.
Fortunately, they asked for help early, you see, Tubo really has heavy troops on the frontier, right?
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the Tang army, maybe they would have invaded their Tuyuhun.
So, without waiting for Xue Rengui to speak, Fu Shun offered to be responsible for all the expenses of the Tang army, and even the military salary had to be doubled.
They were even able to provide the Tang army with 5,000 fine war horses.
Anyway, Tuyuhun produces horses, and now they don't have so many troops, and they can't use so many war horses.
Next, Xue Rengui was in the frontier land and began to train the new army.
The food here is provided by Tuyuhun, and the beef and mutton are enough.
They lacked everything else, but they did not lack meat.
The military salary is twice that of the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of treatment is simply not too good.
Originally, the new army of the Tang Dynasty still complained a lot about coming to this place.
But now, they feel like they've loved it.
……
Before you know it, the time has passed the hot July and August.
Several degrees of grass green, and see maple red.
August is the harvest season.
The sweet potatoes, peanuts and corn planted by the people of the entire Jiannan Province have begun to harvest.
Now walking in the wilderness of Jiannan Road, you can see the scene of busy harvesting everywhere.
Compared with last year, this year can be said to be smooth and rainy, and it is definitely a big harvest year.
Those people, although they all had sweat on their foreheads because of their labor, everyone had irrepressible joy on their faces.
The vast majority of people are planting these new crops for the first time.
Then they found that these emerging crops are really high yields.
Sweet potatoes, in particular, have a high yield that surprises them.
One acre of land can often harvest more than 2,000 catties of sweet potatoes.
Even if it is very poor and thin, it can receive more than 1,000 catties.
This was something they couldn't have imagined before.
With so much food, they no longer have to worry about starving.
Well, now, although it is the people of the entire Jiannan Province, they have all planted new crops.
Every family has a bumper harvest, and with so much food, it will definitely be inexhaustible.
But they also don't have to worry about lower food prices.
Because these three new crops will be promoted throughout Datang.
Their income this year, as long as it is not worn, will definitely be sold as growing grain.
In terms of price, it must not be low.
This year's income can be worth their income in the past two or three years, or even more.
Therefore, the people of the entire Jiannan Province were all happy.
