Chapter 400: The Big Picture Has Been Decided
"Old! Old! I'm still old after all......"
"General Li, the juniors are a little puzzled!" Su Dingfang's face was full of depression, no matter what he asked him these days, Li Jing's reply always had one sentence, that is, he was old.
In terms of age, Li Jing's age is indeed not young, but in this position, he is not old at this age.
Of course, Li Jing said that he was old, and others would not say anything.
But when people are old and old, the experience is still there, how can they shirk it so much when they hesitate?
"You already have the answer in your heart, so why bother to ask the old man?" Li Jing smiled slightly.
"But the two have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the younger generation ......is a little ignorant," Su Dingfang continued to hesitate in response.
"Sooner or later, you will encounter the same problem, even if the old man tells you the answer, what about the next time? The old man is already old, and next time I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to go to the front again, how will you make a choice when the time comes? This time, the only thing the old man can tell you is to think about everything, and then spare no effort to do it. Li Jing still had a smiling expression, and did not tell Su Dingfang a specific answer, all of this will be solved by himself.
"Thank you General Li for solving your doubts, the juniors need to think about it!" Su Dingfang nodded, knowing that it was impossible to get the result from Li Jing today, so he didn't continue to ask.
Is Su Dingfang really out of ideas, or difficult to make up his mind?
No, he has an idea, there are two different plans, but for these two plans, he is not sure which one is better, but the final outcome will not be changed.
This is a lack of experience, Su Dingfang does not lack anything in military experience, what he lacks is political vision.
A qualified commander-in-chief must not only show his talents in the military aspect, but also have certain insights in the political aspect.
You don't need to go toe-to-toe with the politicians on the other side, because that's not what you're good at.
But as a commander-in-chief, you must consider whether it will have other political implications before making any decision.
Just like this time about the treatment of those slave owners, Su Dingfang's two plans are to kill them all to prevent future troubles.
The other is to escort them all back to Chang'an, waiting for distribution, these people are excellent manual laborers, who can give them the least food and let them do the most work.
As for whether it will tire people to death, and if they die, they will die, anyway, their next fate will be squeezed.
What is the political significance of this?
Very simply, Li Yuanji wants to include Tubo in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so the next governance is a political task, if the army is too much now, it will bring great difficulties to the management work in the future, it is the fault of the army, because they have destroyed the political balance here, instead of pulling these aspects to their side, they have pushed their own side to the edge of the cliff.
Therefore, no matter which of these two plans is chosen, there is only one ultimate goal, how to choose, so that the follow-up management work will not be affected in any way, and even let the people here welcome the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
Military personnel should not have to think about these complex, headache-inducing issues.
But I'm sorry, Su Dingfang is the commander, and the soldiers below can not think about this, but he must think about it.
Kill it, or capture it back as a coolie, Su Dingfang himself has no doubts, either of the two can be.
Datang has no shortage of coolies, but there are too many thousands of coolies.
You can kill these people yourself, at least you can make the combat exploits of your soldiers richer.
But what if those fish in other places continue to resist in the future?
The army will retreat sooner or later, even if there is a garrison later, the number will not be too many, will there be trouble in the follow-up management or something?
Lying quietly on a sloping ground, looking at the prisoner of war camp that was busy sitting below, and the two huge camps that were separated.
The ground was a little cold, but Su Dingfang didn't have time to care, all he thought about was the follow-up of the two plans.
"Why does the general have to do this?" Wang Xuance has been a little elusive lately, and he always appears behind you when he is not aware of it.
Rao is Su Dingfang, who had already experienced it, was still taken aback, and shrugged his shoulders: "What you said is easy." ”
"It's not that I'm as easy as I say, but it's so easy!" Wang Xuance lay down with a face full of contempt, with an unknown grass in his mouth, looking like a two-hundred-and-five.
"Oh?" Su Dingfang was a little curious.
Wang Xuance stretched out his hand and pointed downward, the tens of thousands of prisoner of war camps, all of them were honest and unpresentable, and the prisoners who were secretly trembling with excitement said: "This is a foregone conclusion, no matter who comes again, it is impossible to change this ending, if you can't talk about Ko'er, even less so Songtsen Gampo, they don't have this ability, and they don't have this opportunity." Tubo is not the Tubo of Ko'er, nor the Tubo of Songtsen Gampo, but the Tubo of the Tubo people.
What they relied on was nothing more than their armies, but now that they were here, they surrendered, and Ronkol ran away with Songtsen Gampo.
A high-ranking person who has escaped, even if he will return one day, will these soldiers who have been released as free bodies by us still obey their orders?
They are not stupid, Datang gave them freedom and gave them a new life, no one will not want such a life, no one will abandon such a dream life, and go back to live the life that life and death are involuntary before.
The move to emancipate the serfs is good, really good, and it directly disintegrates the chances of a comeback from within.
Even if there is still an incident in the end, the scale is not large, unless he continues the policy of the Tang Dynasty and recognizes that they are all free bodies, but he can form an army, ask for money, war horses, weapons, no money, no war horses, no weapons, will these soldiers be willing to follow him?
Not to mention, at most five years, it is good that Kol and Songtsen Gampo do not appear, as long as they appear and are recognized, someone will definitely arrest them and send them to the government. ”
"That's right......" Su Dingfang slapped his head and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
Such a simple truth, why didn't you figure it out?
The countermeasures were formulated correctly, but the starting point was wrong from the beginning.
For Datang, the key to successfully subduing Tubo is not whether these people are killed or arrested to do coolies.
The key point is whether Datang will let them be free as it says today, and fulfill its previous promises.
Whether they can persist or not, as long as the Tang Dynasty does not intend to turn them back into slaves and does not break their promises to them, the people here still welcome the arrival of the Tang Army.
Senior? What is a high-rise?
A high-level leader who becomes a bare-bones commander, is that still called a high-level?
No one would think so, in fact, this kind of person can't bring any threat at all, if they are smart, what they have to do now is not to find a way to take revenge, but to quickly hide incognito, and then live this life in such a daze.
As long as they dare to have those ideas, sooner or later they will be finished.
"Kill!" After thinking clearly about the key to the problem, the problem that had plagued him for a long time was finally solved, looking at the thousands of nobles below, Su Dingfang did not have any psychological pressure, and said softly.
The root causes of cholera are not at the grassroots level, at least as is the case now.
Datang doesn't expect Tubo to bring much support in terms of economy, as long as Tubo can not pull back, it will be thankful.
Only by killing, killing all these high-level officials, and killing all these nobles, only in this way will Tubo enter a period of peace.
Datang also needs this security period, of course, it is not necessary to kill them all, if there are a few surrenders in the follow-up, honest and obedient, they can also be co-opted.
However, these are not issues that you have to consider, but what the follow-up government needs to consider.
……
Although Shang Nang was restricted from his freedom and his treatment was not as good as before, at least he was not hungry, and Tang Jun was not too strict with him, as long as he did not go out of the camp, it didn't matter how he moved in at will.
This also made Shang Nang begin to feel that his idea was correct.
The Tang people wanted to get Tibet, but they only relied on one Tang army, and they couldn't get a complete Tibet.
Therefore, the Tang people must rely on themselves, rely on themselves to restrain those nobles, and settle down the heavens of Tubo for the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang army will leave after all, and Tubo will still be the Tubo of the Tubo people after all.
If, if he pretends to surrender and obeys the command and orders of the Tang army, and thus deceives some advanced equipment in the hands of the Tang army, then in the near future, after the Tang army retreats, he will welcome back the generals of Nonkol and Songtsen Gampo, and the Tubo at that time will be stronger and stronger than before.
And after this battle, I also realized a lot of problems.
If he could do it again, Shang Nang felt that he was basically seventy percent sure that Tang Jun would not be able to get close to Luo, and even half of the certainty that he could let them all die on the road.
As a loser, Shang Nang is undoubtedly unqualified.
The loser always feels that he knows his opponent best, and if he does it again, he will definitely be able to find the flaws, find the weaknesses of the opponent, and then kill the enemy with one blow, so as to complete the comeback.
It's just a pity that Shang Nang didn't see his current situation, the situation of Tibet.
I don't know what Tang Jun is doing outside, what are Tang Jun's hole cards?
It is no exaggeration to say that this operation, for the Tang Army, the difficulty is only greater than a long-distance training, and the real pressure is almost non-existent.
Of course, Shang Nang didn't know it either, when he thought that the Tang army would not dare to kill him and still need to rely on him, the firing squad was already less than a hundred steps away from his camp.
As a high-level figure in Tibet, the prime minister of Tibet, Shang Nang must die, and all Tibetan officials and nobles must die.
