On the remote path at the junction of Sichuan and Tibet, hundreds of corpses were strewn with gunsmoke, their blood staining the grass on the side of the road bright red.

However, after a heavy rain, they will be forgotten forever!

"For... Why? Why are you doing this? ”

The only one still alive was looking at the two very familiar faces in front of him with anger and confusion.

One of them was an old friend of his, who usually called him a brother, and the other was the wealthiest merchant in their tribe and his most trusted subordinate.

The old Tan smiled and said: "Do you ask me or ask him, my words, I have already said, I am just a businessman, I want money, you are just a small chief in Tibet, and our proprietor's wealth is enough to buy you in Tibet, do you think I will choose to mix with you?" As for ..... other. ”

He looked at the man beside him who was dressed in Tibetan service.

The man stepped forward and stabbed Cibu directly in the thigh with a dagger, and Cibu screamed in pain.

The man grabbed his hair with one hand again and said coldly, "Do you remember the Khumbu family? ”

When Cibu heard this, his pupils suddenly dilated, "You are... You are.... ”

"My name is Kumblosanne." Kumbu Lobsang smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, I will let all your family members go to your funeral, and there will be no one left." ”

"Are you dead now?" That old Tan smiled slightly, handed a pistol to Kumbu Luosang, and said: "Doesn't he like our Datang weapons very much, let him try the latest weapons of our Datang, he has already loaded ammunition, and he can shoot directly." ”

Kumblosanne took the pistol.

"You two, you two are not good.....!"

Bang!

The whole world is quiet!

This old Tan is actually Tan Dong, the boss of the Han Yi smuggling group, and after that crisis, he transferred here to smuggle.

After settling the second cloth, Kumbu Lobsang handed the pistol back to Tan Dong and said, "Thank you for helping me avenge my great revenge." ”

"We don't need to talk about that." Tan Dong took the pistol studded with gems, ironically, the gems were given to him by Cibu, he carefully put his favorite pistol into a holster, and asked Kumb Losang, "That's right." You can't go wrong there, right? ”

Kumbu Losang smiled: "Don't worry, everything has been arranged, there will be no problems, those soldiers don't dare to hurt Cibu's slaves easily." ”

Zuo Wu on the side said: "Our musket team has also entered the territory of Tibet, and what we have to do now is to send a steady stream of gunpowder to them." ”

Tan Dong laughed: "This is what we are best at." ”

"I don't think the big leaders of Tibet would have imagined that they would die on this smuggling."

"Haha!"

The group of smugglers laughed, and the birds that had just fallen, like frightened birds, flapped their wings and flew up.

....．

....．

"Oh... Ahh---!h ”

On the edge of the Yak River there is a river called the Noien River, along which a grain convoy is marching to the front.

Suddenly, more than a dozen slaves rode around them and shouted.

"Huh? Where did this slave come from? ”

The soldiers who were holding the food felt a little confused, when did the slaves become so unrestrained.

"You are still standing stupidly, go and take them down."

Immediately, a group of soldiers rushed forward.

The slaves hurried to ride their horses and run,

After a while, I saw a soldier running back in horror, "Oh no, no, ..... ahead!" ”

At this point, he could not say what was going on, for his companions had all fallen in a pool of blood, and the slaves, who had worked hard a moment ago, were now on horseback, sitting on the grain cart, looking at him with dull eyes, and this numb gaze made the soldier feel an unprecedented fear.

......

Since that night, never to be a slave, is completely resounding across the plateau.

In less than half a month, the army of slaves had expanded to 20,000.

You must know that Qinling mobilized hundreds of thousands of slaves to meet the logistics of the army, and he transferred his main force to the front line, resulting in this rear is extremely empty, and what is even worse is that those slaves are on the edge of the grain, as long as they win, they can immediately get a large amount of grain and grass, which is why the slave army is increasing very quickly, because these slaves do not resist, they may starve to death, if they resist, at least they can eat enough, which also makes the slave army unstoppable.

"Kill!"

On the plain near Shu, a group of Tibetan warriors rode their horses and rushed towards the army of slaves.

The slaves, on the other hand, were unhurriedly erecting hundreds of bamboo tubes diagonally in front of them, and the fuses were burning rapidly.

When the warriors of Tubo rushed up, hundreds of flames were launched from the bamboo tube, and I saw that the war horse suddenly collapsed, and the horse's abdomen was all dense with small black holes, which were very terrifying to look at.

This is what the slaves used to deal with the cavalry, and the bamboo tubes were full of gunpowder and small stones, and they used this cheap weapon to kill hundreds of noble knights in Tibet.

It takes years to train a knight, and these slaves don't even have a sword, so what, I can kill you.

"Never be a slave!"

A roar of rage was heard.

A vast number of slaves rushed up, many of them throwing the jars and jars in their hands with all their might.

Boom Boom!

The iron spilled with the sound of the explosion made the Tibetan warriors miserable, and they still don't know what these explosive cans are.

Slaves spread on the plateau like a plague, and countless slaves who were on the verge of death stood up and burst out with amazing combat effectiveness, but the power of anger alone could not solve the problem, and they needed ....... tools to solve the problem.

A convoy of 1,000 people carrying firearms arrived in time.

"You're here!"

The leader of the army of slaves spoke to a grim-looking young man in fluent Chinese.

The young man said, "As far as we know, there is a food convoy not far from us that is being sent to the front, and we must immediately go into battle. ”

The slave leader waved his hand.

I saw hundreds of slaves come forward.

The leader said, "They are the warriors I have chosen, and I have taught them how to use muskets in the last few days." ”

The young man glanced away, then nodded.

The man behind him immediately opened the long, beautiful cabinet, but saw that there were some brand-new muskets and ammunition, as well as countless jars and jars, and all kinds of cheap firearms, even firearms made of bamboo tubes.

These people are actually the warriors trained by the Yuan Eagle Gang Han Yi.

And this firearm is actually not prepared for the Tang army, the Tang army is all experienced in a hundred battles, and the sharpshooters have it, they only need to increase the artillery, and the musket is not the key. The firearms and gunpowder produced by Han Yi are all prepared for these slaves, these firearms can allow the slaves to easily kill those battle-hardened Tubo warriors, even if it is two against one, it is definitely earning, training a knight, training an archer, not two or three years, it is impossible to train out, kill one of them, they will have one less, the slaves, as long as there are enough pots and jars, there is no need for any high masters.

The leader of the slaves raised a musket and said, "Brothers, take your weapons and start fighting." ”

"Never be a slave!"

....．

....．

The Great Tent of Tibet!

"What do you say? What did you say? ”

Qin Ling clutched a general's collar and trembled violently.

"General......."

The general didn't dare to look directly into Qin Ling's eyes, lowered his head, and hot tears fell.

In a war of this magnitude and scorching, with the total loss of the rear grain routes and the sudden emergence of tens of thousands of enemies, nothing could be more deadly.

"Poof!"

Qin Ling suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes full of unwillingness and resentment.

"General!"

"General!"

The general on the side hurriedly got up and rushed forward.

"I'm fine." Qin Ling raised his hand to stop them from coming forward, but his eyes flashed with tears, and after a long time, he closed his eyes and choked up: "Hurry up and order Luo Chai, Kampot and Pazhuo to withdraw to the country immediately, and our army will be cut off." ”

......

Dafei River.

Ha ha... That's it! I saw the vulture like a cheetah, squatting on a branch, aiming at a small bird on the branch with a musket.

Suddenly, a stone passed through it, and the bird flew away in fright!

"Ono, you're .....!" Yuan Vulture glared down angrily, his expression stunned, "Han Yi? What are you doing? Ono and I are trying our marksmanship, what are you messing with? ”

Han Yi under the tree smiled slightly: "I know, but I brought you here, not for you to hunt here." ”

When the vulture heard this, he was immediately annoyed and angry, jumped down directly from the branch, and said excitedly: "You think I want to fight birds here, I want to fight people, but you also have to find an enemy to fight me!" ”

Han Yi nodded and smiled: "Okay! ”

Yuan Vulture couldn't help but be stunned.

....．

In the big tent of the Tang Army.

"Shang Shuling, why did you suddenly summon us?"

Zhao Zhiman asked in surprise.

It is normal to say that the commanders of the three armies have a meeting, but since Han Yi came here, he has hardly held any meetings, and this sudden meeting has surprised these generals.

Han Yi smiled slightly and said: "I summoned all the generals here today because the Tubo is on the verge of extinction, and we have to hurry up and step on this last kick, and make a show to the imperial court, so as to show that we have defeated the Tubo heroically." ”

The generals present were all dumbfounded.

Are you telling a fantasy story?

Especially Su Dingfang, Zhao Zhiman, and Wang Xuance, they have always been receiving this battle report, and Han Yi is almost supervising the logistics, and at the same time helping Queen Yan develop production.

As far as they know, now they have not turned the tide of the war, most of the territory in the northwest has fallen, and they don't know who killed this deer, why did Tubo suddenly come to the brink of extinction?

This isn't a fantasy story, and what is it?

Su Dingfang said with a stunned face: "Please also ask Shang Shu to forgive the old man for being stupid, I don't know how Shang Shu Ling said this?" ”

Han Yi smiled: "Old general, judging from your experience, what will happen if the Tubo army suddenly loses grain and grass?" ”

Su Dingfang said very directly: "Then they are finished!" ”

In a battle of this scale, if there is a sudden shortage of food, it will definitely be over, and there will be no suspense.

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's exactly the reason!" ”

Su Dingfang said: "But if the other party's grain and grass are tight, the Tubo army will definitely retreat, but the old man sees that they have no sign of this at all, which shows that they still have enough grain and grass reserves." ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "I'm talking about the sudden loss of grain and grass, Qinling may not know it yet, maybe he just knew." ”

Wang Xuance asked, "How could this grain and grass be lost suddenly?" ”

Han Yi said: "Not only have they lost their food and grass, but there are more than 100,000 enemies in the rear, if they don't die this time, then I will die, and there is no fun in living in the world." ”

Zhao Zhiman was confused: "Why do I get more confused the more I listen? ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "According to my understanding of Tubo, their soldiers are all slaves, especially logistics, all of which are transported by slaves, and this time Qinling used hundreds of thousands of slaves to transport grain and grass for his army, with the stalemate of the war, the logistics of both sides have become very tight, we are so, and so is Tubo." Then, in order to ensure that the soldiers in the previous life could be fed, the Tibetan side would definitely sacrifice slaves.

There is no need to think about it, the life of the Tibetan slaves will not be easy, they face hunger and death every day, and constantly see their companions die on the way, and they are leading to hell in front of them, which is their only fate. However, if at this time, someone instigated on the side, and also gave those slaves the most new firearms in the Tang Dynasty, you can imagine what it would be like, and what is even more interesting is that those slaves are all on the edge of grain and grass. ”

He said it very simply, but the truth is not so simple.

In fact, many years ago, he was digging a grave for the Qin Tomb, and they not only bought slaves from Tibet, but also specially trained a group of agents to enter Tibet as slaves, with the purpose of instilling reactionary ideas with those slaves in Tibet (for details, see Chapter 1960 Geopolitics). Moreover, he also arranged for Kumbu Lobsang and others to take care of those agents, who was originally a slave in Shu, and was later raised by Han Yi and became a wealthy merchant in Tibet, his task was to take care of those agents and prevent them from being harmed, these agents spent a lot of time and money to train, and they must not die easily, and at that time it was also Kunbu Lobsang who arranged for those agents to escort weapons.

Everything was premeditated.

Of course, in addition to Kumbu Lobsang and several wealthy Tibetan businessmen, they are actually Han Yi people, and they have a common characteristic, that is, they have a deep hatred for the ruling class in Tibet.

Why Han Yi is not in a hurry, it is because he is waiting, he will wait until both sides are struggling, and the ruling class in Tibet continues to increase the exploitation and use of slaves, and this trick will work.

There was silence in the tent.

Each of the generals did not feel any excitement, only creepy.

This trick is a little too ruthless.

If it weren't for Qinling, they wouldn't have thought of this.

Han Yi swept his eyes and said, "I thought it should be a cheer at this time!" ”

The soldiers were stunned and laughed at the same time.

Su Dingfang said: "The old man understands, the old man finally understands, the reason why Shang Shuling let the old man choose the defensive strategy is to drag the war into a stalemate stage, so as to increase the pressure on Tubo logistics!" The art of war is cloudy, the upper army is strategic, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is to attack the city. It can be seen that Shang Shuling's strategy is far better than ours. ”

"The old general has won the award!" Han Yi said: "I'm just thinking about it from the perspective of a businessman. Because of the existence of slaves, the cost of the war in Tibet is much lower than ours, although our population is nearly ten times that of Tibet, but our military strength is difficult to reach the scale of Tibet, because they own slaves, but I firmly believe that everything has both good and bad sides, Qinling is a slave of success, and a slave of defeat, and this is also the lowest cost method to eliminate Tibet. ”

Wear!

Everyone has a capital "suit" written on their face.

It is not that the war is over, but that Tibet is destined to perish.

Su Dingfang asked again: "I don't know what Shang Shuling plans to do next?" ”

Han Yi said: "This is also the purpose of my meeting, you are all experienced in a hundred battles, I want to ask you, if you are Qinling, what will you do?" ”

Everyone was thinking deeply.

After half a loud sound, Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "No solution!" This dilemma is really unsolvable! Now there is no food and grass, they only have two roads left, the first way is to fight to the death with us, but he gradually transferred the main force to the northwest battlefield, plus we have muskets and artillery, they have no capital to fight to the death with us. And the battle situation in the northwest is also destined to be unable to annihilate our main force in one fell swoop. And the second way is to retreat immediately! Not to mention that he will not be able to withdraw for a while and a half, even if he can retreat, then we will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue, and he will inevitably face the enemy on his back, plus they have no food and grass, even if Qinling is a genius in the sky, he has no power to return to the sky! No solution! It's incomprehensible! ”

Zhao Zhiman said suddenly: "Do you think he will choose to surrender?" ”

Han Yi said: "Unless they surrender unconditionally, otherwise, it is not my choice." ”

Wang Xuance said: "I think Qinling will choose to retreat. Such a tyrant like Qinling, he must be able to bend and stretch, and they have the advantage of the plateau, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will definitely persevere. I think he will continue to block us here, and let the rest of the armies retreat first, because they may also gather a large army to fight us to the death, in which case we will have the chance to win, and naturally we will not dare to attack rashly, so that they can easily retreat. ”

Zhao Zhiman said: "In this case, we should quickly write to General Xue and them, and ask them to hurry up and stop the retreat of the Tubo army." ”

"No, no, no!" Han Yi waved his hand again and again, and said: "We must let them withdraw, I have already written to Xue Rengui and them, asking them not to fight to the death with Tubo, because now when we are facing Tubo, if one more person dies, it will be a loss-making business, and if the Tubo army wants to retreat, it will only die faster." ”

Zhao Chiman asked, "Why is that?" ”

Han Yi said with a wicked smile: "Don't forget, their main force is made up of slave owners and slaves. So, from this moment on, the war will become very romantic and full of dreams. Speaking of this, he sighed, handed a letter to Zhao Zhiman, and said, "You go and inform these officials to come here quickly." ”

Zhao Zhiman took it in a daze, opened it and found that all of them were young officials from the northwest region, and said in surprise: "What does this mean?" ”

Han Yi said: "What's the point, we have to quickly divide the administrative area for Tubo, then we must send officials to manage it." ”
