Under the city, the four marshals of the Tang Dynasty's three-way army to defeat Tubo finally gathered, which can be described as the first time since the start of the war. Among these four people, Gao Xianzhi, Ge Shuhan, and Li Guangbi are all influential figures in the big **, and the idols of countless soldiers. And the prestige of the newly rising Wang Yuan is no worse than theirs, and he even has the state of catching up.
The only pity is that such a gathering came a little late, if it was a month earlier, the three-way army was taking advantage of the victory to meet here, and the city of Pibo would have been a different situation. Now it is said that the three-way army gathered, but in fact, there are only two soldiers and horses left, and the two marshals of the north road have become the commanders of the light pole. Even Wang Yuan and Gao Xianzhi had extremely limited soldiers and horses in their hands, and the total strength of the three-way soldiers and horses was only 70,000.
But for the Tibetans, these 70,000 people are terrifying. When the Anxi army arrived at the foot of Pibo City, the Enagu in the city was really startled, and while scolding the soldiers and horses of Xichuan for being incompetent, he actually let go of more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to Pibo City, and immediately asked for reinforcements to Piban City.
At this time, the only reinforcement was the soldiers and horses of Xichuan Capital, 70,000 soldiers and horses were pitted by Gao Xianzhi nearly 20,000, and the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses arrived the next day from the southwest of Luoqi City to Pibo City. Once again, 150,000 troops gathered in Pibo City, but this time was different from the last time, and these 150,000 troops were already the last old capital of Tibet. Although there were still 50,000 soldiers and horses in the city, those soldiers and horses were the forces that protected Zampu and the princes' ministers, and they also controlled the security of the city, which could not be moved.
The commanders have long known this point, as soon as the Anxi army comes, the soldiers and horses of Xichuan will also follow, that is for sure. At present, a large number of soldiers and horses have gathered in the city, and it seems that the leader of the war is all at once. The flame is about to be lit again, and it seems that a great war is about to break out again.
However, this is not the case. At the beginning, 160,000 against 60,000 did not win, and it is impossible for Enagu to take risks now. At the moment, there is no other way but to consume, and Enagu doesn't know when it will be a head if it is consumed like this. But he knew in his heart that ** would definitely make some moves, and it wouldn't be so endless. It's almost July, and after September, the weather on the plateau begins to turn bitterly cold, and ** will never survive until then. Of course, he hoped that they would ignore this, and that when the cold weather came, they might be ashamed.
**In the camp, Gao Xianzhi has also tried his best to persuade Wang Yuan to carry out a siege operation in the past few days. Gao Xianzhi's theory is very simple, whether it is a war or a peace, it needs to be attacked. The will of the imperial court will arrive at the beginning of July, and if the imperial court is determined to destroy the Tubo kingdom, then this horse must be taken, and as for how to attack the city, that is a later story. If the imperial court agrees to negotiate peace with the Tubo people, in fact, it will also need a fierce siege war to show muscle pressure, so that the peace negotiation can proceed smoothly and force the Tubo people to negotiate peace on terms that are more favorable to the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Yuan agreed with him, but Wang Yuan would never agree with his siege method. Gao Xianzhi hoped that the 70,000 army would come to a traditional and regular siege battle to show his strength, and Wang Yuan agreed with the last point, but Wang Yuan felt that the first two points were unnecessary. You only need to show your muscles to give the other party great psychological pressure, but you don't have to have a crowd tactic and kill and wound soldiers and horses in vain. If there are too many losses in the siege, it is easy to boost the morale of the Tibetans, and the effect may be counterproductive.
Wang Yuan's safety is in danger, Gao Xianzhi waited for two or three days before talking about this issue, because he was waiting for the arrival of the third batch of supplies, and there were 1,000 thunderbolts in the third batch of supplies, and Wang Yuan planned to use these thunderbolts to force the opponent to agree to peace regardless of the cost. Although this cost a lot of money and made Wang Yuan feel painful, it was more effective than traditional siege warfare and rarely hurt people.
Moreover, Wang Yuan concluded that the imperial court would definitely agree to the peace discussion, very simply, because this was the unanimous suggestion of the four jiedu envoys who were far away in Tibet, and the imperial court would definitely consider it carefully. Another point is, where did the imperial court draw 200,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce it? Even if new troops are mobilized now and newly recruited troops are recruited, it will be too late. Soon it will be autumn, and the autumn on the plateau will be gone in the blink of an eye, and as soon as the leaves are yellow, it will snow and ice, and how will there be a war then? Since the Battle of Shibao City, sending troops to fight in winter has actually become a recognized taboo in the Tang Dynasty.
Three days later, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses escorting grain and grass arrived from the rear, this time carrying supplies from thousands of carts. Grain and grass were readily available, but Wang Yuan only cared about the four vehicles that were pulled by the horses and dragged the wooden boxes. In the wooden box on it is the thunderbolt bomb, it has only been more than a month since the last delivery of the thunderbolt bomb, in order to complete Wang Yuan's request for more thunderbolt bombs, I am afraid that Liu Xunzhi and Zhang Zhengyi have already fought hard.
Gao Xianzhi has also heard about the power of the Jiannan Army's Shenwei Cannon Thunderbolt in the past few days, but he doesn't believe that there is such a thing in the world, and if he throws it, he can blow up the big pit of Fang Yuanzhang Xu, and it can kill and injure all the people and horses within a radius of two zhang. He had never seen anything like this in his knowledge, so he took it as someone else's gossip. Even if someone dragged him to the rear a few miles away and pointed out the potholes all over the ground to show him, he smiled and said: "Obviously you dug the trap pit, should you be blind?" ”
Gao Xianzhi is such an extremely conceited person, he never believes in rumors, only believes in the facts he has seen with his own eyes. Generally, those who have some skills, or are handsome, have this kind of blind self-confidence, which may be a common problem of people.
When Wang Yuan ordered the more than 1,000 thunderbolt bombs to be put into storage, Gao Xianzhi stood aside and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, your plan is to throw these round bumps into the city, without the need for soldiers to attack the city, the people in the city will be scared half to death, and accept our peace?" ”
Wang Yuan knew that he was teasing himself, and said with a smile: "Gao Dashuai, let's make a bet, if I can use this thing to make the souls of the Tubo people in Pibo City frightened, Gao Dashuai needs to promise me a condition." ”
Gao Xianzhi smiled and said, "What conditions? ”
Wang Yuan said: "I have great admiration for Gao Dashuai's character and martial arts, and I hope to make friends with Gao Dashuai." Or be presumptuous, and marry tall and handsome brothers of the opposite sex, I don't know if it is Gao Pan. ”
Gao Xianzhi smiled and said: "Interesting, I, Gao Xianzhi, am not very popular, I am afraid that the people I offend have a basket, but you take the initiative to make friends with me." It stands to reason that your fame is no less than mine, so why bother to have such a friendship with me. ”
Wang Yuan Zhengse said: "This is not a friendship, this is sincere admiration." If you don't want me, I won't force it, and it's better to make a friend. ”
Gao Xianzhi nodded and said, "Why don't I want to?" I don't think much of you either. And so it was decided. If you have this heart, you don't have to bet, you and I just bow down. ”
Wang Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to be so refreshing. I said yes in one bite.
"As for this gambling game, such a brother, I have a little seventh sister in my family, who is born with unparalleled beauty and a virtuous lady. If you win the bet, I'll introduce you to my little seventh sister. ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand in amazement and said, "No, no, no, this can't be done." ”
Gao Xianzhi frowned and said, "What? Do you dislike my family's low background? ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "That's not it, in terms of background, who is lower than me?" I mean, it's not appropriate, because I already have my own wife and concubine, and second, isn't this gamble unfair to you at all. I didn't have the slightest penalty for losing. ”
Gao Xianzhi laughed and said, "Where did you think of going?" I'm just going to introduce you to you, what do you want? My little seventh sister is something that ordinary people can't look down on, I heard that you used to be a famous person in Chang'an, and you wrote a good poem, so I recommended it for you. Besides, if my seventh sister falls in love with you, what if you become your concubine? As long as she wants to, I'm fine. If you want to say whether this gamble is fair, it is fair and tight, if you lose, you will not be able to see my little seventh sister, do you know that it will be the biggest regret of your life, isn't this fair enough? ”
Wang Yuan was dumbfounded, and he had already thrown himself into this Gao Xianzhi's tall and handsome body. How can a person be so proud, not seeing his sister is the biggest punishment, this forced pretending is simply too shameless. Could it be that your sister is better than the best in my room? No way.
