Li Yuanji's words made many people feel ashamed.

Fight back against the Tibetan invasion of the Tang Dynasty and free millions of slaves.

This sounds lofty, but in reality? In fact, there are a lot of slaves in Datang.

It's just that these slaves are different from those slaves in Tibet, and there are three sources of slaves in the Tang Dynasty, one is that the ancestors are slaves, and the children born in this way are naturally slaves.

The other is the voluntary sale of themselves into slavery, most of which are unable to survive and can only be done in this way.

And the last one is the official slaves, the family members of those who have committed crimes or something.

But compared with Tubo, these slaves in the Tang Dynasty are obviously more reliable, because you can't sell them as slaves, and they are not good, but also exaggerated, over there, as long as you are not a nobleman, more than half of the people are slaves, and the proportion may be higher.

And the other, Tubo attacked the Tang Dynasty, what year was this? Anyway, if you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid you'll have to count it on your fingers.

War is definitely going on, and some ministers are in favor of this, some are neutral, and some are opposed, but no matter how much they oppose it, it is useless, and this matter cannot be terminated because of the opposition of some people.

For a person from later generations, don't tell him where the current territory of the Tang Dynasty is, in his mind, the 9.6 million square kilometers of land in the later generations are all the homeland that he wants to recover.

It is the homeland, it is the reconquest, not the invasion, not the expansion.

……

In the far southwest border, the seemingly calm night is actually already surging.

As soon as Li Jing left on the front foot, the Tubo people moved their minds on the back foot, but it was a pity that this place was far away from Chang'an, and the messengers they sent might not be able to rush to Chang'an, let alone any of the latest instructions from Chang'an.

"How? Are you sure? Han Zhong's face was a little nervous and asked the soldier who had just returned, to be precise, it should be a scout.

"Sure, I found the mark nearby, they should be nearby." The Scout nodded calmly.

"Well, tell the brethren to cheer up and make no mistakes!" Han Zhong nodded firmly, holding the horizontal knife in his hand tightly.

The preparation of intelligence work is what Li Jing has done the most in the past year or so, although he is only responsible for formulating a strategy, and there is a special person in charge of specific matters.

But Li Jing has never slackened his energy in this regard.

If you still don't realize the importance of intelligence to war, your life will be in vain.

In order to be able to accomplish the planned tasks, Li Yuanji specially transferred 10 intelligence veterans from Zhenbei and 50 intelligence officers from China.

The ratio of more than 100 to one may not seem like much, but in this era, it is enough.

And these intelligence officers, under the training of those old birds, in just over a year, have brought results that Li Jingdu had to be shocked.

Although there are losses, the gains are clearly greater than the losses.

Not to mention anything else, buying off the Tubo people to become internal response is one of the main tasks of these intelligence officers.

And the list of internal responses on the other side is only known to Xu Sheng, the intelligence chief, and even Li Jing has only heard of such a booklet, but he has never seen it.

Intelligence personnel cover as garrisons, civilians, hunters, officials, etc., and almost everywhere they spy on all the intelligence, whether useful or useless, they will all get it back first.

This certainly increases the workload, but the benefits are also obvious, the entire Yazhou, even the eastern half of Tubo, there is almost no news that Li Jing does not know, if you say it in more detail, that is, Li Jing is like being familiar with the imperial court, knowing which position is held by whom, what his resume is, where his family lives, how many people, and what his personality is.

You may not believe it, but after the military reform, Datang had a total of 800,000 troops, of which 300,000 were placed in various places, 400,000 were arranged in frontiers and other places, and 100,000 mobile troops.

And for these 800,000 people, the annual military expenditure is 3 million guan, and the average person is about four guan a year.

Of the 3 million military spending, only 2 million were spent on the 800,000 army, and the remaining 1 million was spent on intelligence personnel, who had less than 30,000 men, an average of more than 30 per person per year.

The benefits are naturally obvious, where there is a wind and grass, as fast as a day or two, or as slow as a month, the entire Tang Dynasty cannot escape from Li Yuanji's palm.

And this time, it was also after receiving Xu Sheng's advance notice that the Tubo people couldn't help it, and sent people into Shu to spy on it, after months of exploration and summary, they finally found out the law, and learned that a batch of arms will be transported to the garrison in the near future, the number is not large, 10,000 grenades, and the guards are only more than 600 soldiers.

After the envoy to Tang was captured, the Turks had abandoned the idea of starting from normal channels.

Looking down, the camp was brightly lit, but it was pitch black where the grenade was placed in the center.

Six hundred soldiers expanded the camp very much, within five hundred paces, there were arch fires everywhere, and beyond five hundred paces, there were also a lot of dark lines, as long as someone dared to approach, at most it was five hundred paces away.

It seems that for security reasons, the intelligence said that the Turks came with 3,000 people this time, so the deputy general did not dare to be careless, and directly sent 5,000 troops to protect them in secret.

However, he was worried that the enemy would find out, so he only let Captain Han Zhong and 500 people lie in ambush near the logistics team, and the remaining 4,500 people were scattered within four and five miles.

If it was just to scare the other party away, then it would be good to pull out five thousand people directly, and in the face of such a defense, the Tubo people definitely did not have the courage to continue to attack.

However, the deputy general Tang Da wanted to annihilate them all, because Li Jing had specially explained before leaving that if the Turks attacked, he would kill them, which also happened to give them the opportunity to enter the Turkic military training.

"It's coming!" Looking at the bright light about a thousand steps away, Han Zhong secretly roared.

All the soldiers were ready, they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

People do not distinguish between high and low, referring to this time.

No matter how much the Tubo people cook, they will still be a war achievement, and they will not be cheaper than a Turkic head, what does it mean to be a soldier to fight?

If it was placed in the past, it meant a reward, plus I didn't know when I would be promoted.

But now, the head not only means the reward, the team is below, every five heads are promoted to a level, this is a hard standard, and if you go up, there are more things to consider, and they don't expect anything, it's good to be a team leader.

Because it was night, although the light could provide the Tibetans with a target position, it could not illuminate their feet.

Therefore, it took the Tibetan people an unknown amount of time to reach a thousand steps away by the night, and at this time, there was no need to hide anything at all.

Ignite the torch in your hand directly, and then there will be a ghost crying wolf howling charge.

In fact, in the face of a large number of cavalry cluster charges, a distance of about a thousand steps, even if it is discovered, it is difficult to react, with the speed of cavalry, it only takes dozens of breaths to arrive.

Facts have proved that the strategy of the Tibetans is very correct, because the moment they appeared, the disciplined and brave Tang army had already begun to loosen.

And the moment they launched a charge, they could even faintly see that the Tang army on the opposite side was already in a mess with the help of the lights.

The distance was closer, and the Tang army had no sense of resistance at all, but dropped those grenades, and then ran directly to the side, as if they had forgotten their duties and were only seeking to save their lives at the moment.

"Haha...... This is the brave and warlike Tang Army? A bunch of turtles, guys with no eggs! "In the dark place of the rear, if you don't get close, you won't find that there are hundreds of people hidden here, a Tubo general with a disgusting beard pointed to the camp in the distance, and the scattered Tang army, and couldn't help but mock.

"General be careful, there is something strange at this time, I'm afraid there is fraud!" The Han man beside the Tubo general frowned tightly and reminded cautiously.

"Fraud? They didn't even bother to turn around and run away, just their group of cowards, what could they deceive? Open your eyes and see how my Tubo soldiers slaughter them...... "The Tubo generals are obviously very unhappy, and they don't think that the Tang Army will have any fraud, although the Tang Army's courage is much smaller than before, but as long as the grenade is in hand, then I don't have it in the world?"

Drop the grenade? The Han man's brows furrowed into a line, and he thought bitterly.

Immediately afterwards, the Han man's face changed, and he was shocked: "It's not good, we were fooled, the general quickly ordered a retreat." ”

"Retreat? If you want me to say, you can just be an internal servant......" The Tubo general obviously didn't care, and coldly sarcastically mocked the Han man beside him.

"Li Jing led the troops to be cunning...... Han man was just halfway through his explanation, but the next moment, the battle situation ahead suddenly took a huge turn.

I saw that the six hundred Tang troops, who were still fleeing for their lives before, suddenly stopped, turned their heads, and the army formation quickly gathered, and almost in the blink of an eye, they completed their preparations for battle.

If it weren't for the preparations, who would have suddenly stopped when fleeing for his life and quickly assembled into a battle formation?

If you look at it now, their previous escape was not just a rush without caring about anything, even if they fled, they also fled according to the formation, although it looked a little chaotic, but who could see clearly in the dark.

"It's just hundreds of people, why ...... to hang on it" Although the Tubo general was shocked in his heart, he calmed down when he saw the number of the other party, but before he finished speaking, the situation on the battlefield changed again, "It's really a ...... of deception"
