Shanzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dazarugon looked up and down with a fine porcelain, some Tibetan soldiers stood on both sides of the hall with waist knives, some generals sat behind their low tables waiting for the opening, and some soldiers walked in with roast sheep one by one to report: "Marshal, the sheep is roasted!" β
"Hmm!" Dazarugon put down the porcelain and walked to the seat and sat down, took out a knife and cut the roast meat on the leg of mutton and ate it, and the other commanders and commanders also began to cut the meat with knives when they saw this.
Another soldier brought a tray and put a few plates of stir-fry on the table, and Dazarugon grabbed a handful of stir-fry with his hand, put it in his mouth and chewed a few bites.
"Well, it's delicious! This Han people not only dress beautifully and make good tea, but also in terms of food, it is also worth learning from our Tibetan people, which tastes really good.
Other Tibetan generals also grabbed vegetables with their hands to eat, but these dishes had just been fried, and they were still a little hot.
A Tibetan commander shouted: "Marshal, the Han people will really enjoy it, this dish is really delicious, since we have conquered Shanzhou, we won't leave in the future, right?" Eat and drink spicy food here every day, how comfortable! β
Dazarugon laughed and said, "It's a comfortable day, right? β
The Tibetan generals echoed one after another: "Yes, this day is too comfortable, much warmer than our Tubo, I can still wear such beautiful clothes, and I can be late for such delicious food, it's really good, I won't leave when I occupy this place!" β
Dazarugon laughed and scolded: "You group of unproductive things, does this satisfy you? I tell you, not only will I take you to capture all of Hexi and Longyou, but I will also take you all the way to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Kingdom, where Chang'an is splendid, full of gold, beautiful people, and delicious food that is better than your late, and you can live in bigger and more beautiful houses, and no longer have to live in dilapidated stone houses and tents that leak everywhere! β
The Tibetan generals applauded: "Okay, good, let's follow the marshal to Chang'an and enjoy all the glory and wealth!" β
"Hahahaγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Smiling and smiling, Dazaru Gong remembered something but couldn't laugh anymore, and said: "It's just that according to the detailed report, the Tang State has sent the general Zhao Ziliang to lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to deal with us, I have fought a few battles with this Zhao Ziliang back then, this person is not easy to deal with!" If we want to kill Chang'an, we must defeat this person first! β
All the Tubo generals said one after another: "Marshal, rest assured, we will work hard to kill the enemy, the Tang army has come from afar, exhausted, and will not be our army's opponent!" β
Dazaru Gong frowned and said: "That's what I said, but we still have to be careful, the 200,000 soldiers and horses in our hands are already eighty percent of the strength of the entire Tubo country, once defeated, I can't explain to Zampu!" β
At this time, a Tibetan soldier ran in and bowed down and said, "Marshal, Zampu is here!" β
Dazarugon was taken aback, "What? You say Zamp is coming? β
"Yes, Marshal!"
"Where?"
"It's already in Linqiang!"
Dazaru Gong was quite annoyed and said, "Isn't this nonsense? Why didn't Zan Pu send someone to say before he came, although our army has swept away the area south of Qilian Mountain these days, there are still many Tang troops who have fled in the mountains and forests, if these Tang army routs suddenly come out to attack Zampu's team, it will be troublesome! Quick, everyone, come with me to meet Zamp! β
The generals got up one after another to understand: "Yes, marshal!" β
Dazarugon rode to Linqiang with his generals, and it took only one morning to meet the escort of Sisong Dezanpu, who had arrived in Xiping.
Dazaru Gong jumped down from the horse, stepped forward and bowed down to a young Tibetan man in costume on the horse, and said: "Dazaru greets Zampu, the minister greets the late, please forgive Zampu!" β
This is today's Tubo Zampu Si Songde, Si Songde was only thirteen years old when he ascended the throne, when there was a rebellion of the Lang clan and the end of the Tubo clan, it was Dazaru Gong who supported Si Songde to the throne, and led the troops to quell the rebellion of the Lang clan and the end of the clan, now Si Songde has grown up, it is the time when the blood is strong, the prime of life, and wants to make a meritorious deed, the rebellion within the Tang Dynasty makes Si Songde think that this is a rare opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and he needs to establish a meritorious career to the people of Tubo think that he is a capable Zampu, I want to use this to establish my prestige in the hearts of the Tibetan people.
Si Songde was very respectful of Dazarukong, jumped off the horse and helped Dazarugon up and said, "I didn't notify you before I came, so I came rashly, how can I blame you?" I'm so happy that you have won such a big victory this time, and I can't help but come here in person, you won't be unhappy, right? β
These words made Dazarugon really unable to be angry, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Zampu has said so, how can I be angry? It's just that Zampu's decision this time is really a bit reckless, Hexi Longyou has not been completely captured by our army, and there are still Tang army routs hiding in the mountains and forests in many places, in case these Tang army routs attack Zampu, how can I explain to my subjects! β
Sisonde laughed and said, "I have Generalissimo Dazarugon by my side, who can hurt me?" You're right? β
Dazaru Gong couldn't say anything, so he had to say: "Zampu, this place is not far from Shanzhou City, why don't we go to Shanzhou first and wait for Zampu to settle down?" β
"Okay, then set off for Shanzhou, I heard that Shanzhou is the seat of Longyou, but I want to see how that place is!"
After half a day of walking, Xi Songde finally walked into Shanzhou City under the guidance of Dazaru Gong, Xi Songde saw the tall city of Shanzhou and the wide streets in the city, and couldn't help but exclaim: "The buildings and cities of the Tang Dynasty are really extraordinary, we have no city and no city walls in Tibet, this street is so spacious, the road surface is so smooth!" β
Dazaru Gong led Si Songde around the city of Shanzhou again, and finally took him to eat Han stir-fried food in Shanzhou Mansion, and Si Songde was full of praise.
Sidsongde Zampu's father is Sidzu Zampu, Sidzu is the great-great-grandson of Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo, and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty, Sidzu married Princess Jincheng, when Sidsunde was born, Princess Jincheng was dead, indicating that he was born to Sidzu and other women, so Sidsongde's body only has the blood of Princess Wencheng, and his bloodline relationship with the Tang Dynasty royal family has been very estranged.
After eating and drinking, Sisundak asked Dazarukon, "What are you going to do next?" β
Dazarugon said: "Zampu, next I think that on the one hand, we must continue to attack Hexi, occupy the entire territory of Hexi, and cut off the connection between Tang and the Western Regions, so that his strength will be greatly reduced; On the other hand, taking advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty, we must advance eastward as much as possible, capture more territory of the Tang Kingdom, and let more people follow the army. β
Si Songde was overjoyed and said: "Okay, good, Dazarugon, your thoughts are very similar to mine, doesn't there be a saying in the Tang Kingdom, called 'Take advantage of your illness, take your life', we are now going to take advantage of the internal turmoil in the Tang Dynasty to dig out a piece of meat on them!" Don't worry about doing it boldly, I will fully support you! β
Dazaru saluted, "Thank you, Zampu! β
At this time, a centurion walked in quickly and bowed down: "Meet Zampu and Marshal, according to the investigation of the horses, yesterday Zhao Ziliang, the general of the Tang Army, had led an army of 200,000 from Jincheng to Shanzhou, with 80,000 cavalry and 120,000 infantry!" One hundred and sixty miles away from Shanzhou! β
Si Songde and Dazaru Gong glanced at each other, and Si Songde said to Daza Lugong: "I have always heard you say how powerful this Zhao Ziliang is in battle, after all, I have not seen it with my own eyes, but this time I have the opportunity to face him face to face!" β
Dazaru was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Zampu, you have a noble status, there are no eyes on the battlefield, if you make any mistakes, I will be to blame!" β
Xi Songde waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, he Zhao Ziliang is nearly forty years old, and I am in the prime of life, can't I fight him, an old man?" Needless to say, I said that if I don't interfere with you, I won't interfere with you, and you can fight as much as you want! β
Dazaru Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart when he heard this, and said in his heart that fighting a war is not about fighting for age, not the younger the better, especially for senior generals, the more experienced the better.
Dazarugon collected his mood and asked the centurion, "Have you found anything other than this?" β
The centurion said: "It is strange to say, the Tang army marches only thirty-four miles a day, and it is also slow, it seems that they are not in a hurry at all, we want to get close to investigate, but the Tang army guard post is particularly vigilant, and has found us several times!" β
Dazarugon frowned and said, "Only marching thirty or forty miles a day? No, that's not normal! What kind of moth is this Zhao Ziliang doing? Why do you only march thirty-four miles in a day? β
Xi Songde also said: "There is indeed something strange about this matter, what conspiracy may be brewing in the Tang Army!" β
Dazaru Gong calculated and said: "Now the Tang army is one hundred and fifty miles away from Shanzhou, and according to their current marching speed, it will take five days to reach Shanzhou Cityγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» I understand, so it is!" β
Sisundt asked, "What have you thought of?"
Dazaru Gong said: "This time the Tang army is from their hinterland, these people are not adapted to the high terrain and climate here, the reason why Zhao Ziliang slowed down the march, I am afraid that he wants to free up time for his soldiers under his command to adapt to the high terrain here, if the march speed is too fast, many people will get sick, I have heard before that this kind of thing often happens in the Tang army, and in serious cases, people will die!" β
Xi Songde nodded, "I've also heard of this kind of thing, what do you decide to do about Tang Jun's situation?" β
Dazaru Gong said: "Since Zhao Ziliang is this abacus, then why don't I fulfill it?" You must know that this situation can by no means be solved in a day or two, and once this situation appears on a large scale, the combat strength of the Tang Army will drop significantly, and it will be very convenient for us to attack again at that time. β
Si Songde thought for a while, "You have a point, and they are in a hurry to come here, they will inevitably be underprepared in terms of grain and grass, baggage, etc., as long as we delay them for a while, they will not only have a situation of water and soil adaptation, but also a shortage of grain and grass, then it will be much easier for us to attack again, I support you in saying so!" β
"If that's the case, we will withdraw from Shanzhou and retreat in the direction of the West Sea!" (To be continued.) )
