Chapter 253: Timing of Troops

Almighty Cultivation Supreme

Tugu (yu) Hun is also known as Tuhun, the name of the ancient northwest ethnic group and the country it founded. It was originally a branch of the Xianbei Murong Department in Liaodong, and the Tibetan people called it Achai. It was an ancient country located in the Qilian Mountains and the upper valley of the Yellow River from the Western Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. Historically, it was destroyed by Tibet.

Tuyuhun Wangcheng - Fu Qi City is located in the north of Shinaihai Township, Gonghe County, Hainan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province, south of Caiji River, about 7.5 kilometers east of Qinghai Lake, also known as Tiebuga Ancient City. It is surrounded by a vast prairie with abundant water and grass.

The social structure of Tuyuhun is similar to that of the Tang Dynasty, with the titles of Wang and Gong and the official positions of servant, Shangshu, general, and Lang. There are small cities and palaces in the city, and the layout is more influenced by the Han land. The style of Wang Gongfu is slightly the same as that of the Han people, using the Chinese language. Women's clothing is similar to that of Tang women, but the hair accessories are different, mainly tied with fine braids.

The palace of the city of Fuqi.

The Khan summoned the kings and ministers to discuss the situation urgently.

"Khan, the Tibetan army sent a total of 250,000 troops into the territory of my Tuyuhun, and captured Boliang City three days ago, but so far, this is the sixth captured city in Tuyuhun. The cities of Hukgo and Hegu have been surrounded, and I ask the Khan to show you how our army should defend against the enemy. General Helenpoter said.

The 26-year-old Khan was shrewd and strong, and had a high prestige in Tuyuhun. He asked, "Servant shooting, how is the mobilization for war?" ”

"Khan, the minister has ordered the mobilization of men over the age of 16 to under the age of 56 to join the local army, a total of 180,000 men, in accordance with your will, and is now being assembled in the states. However, most of these people have no weapons, and the weapons stockpiled by the local governments can only arm 30% of them. ”

The military department Shangshu reported: "Khan, at present, the Tang army is also moving, they have assembled a cavalry division in the north and east of our country, about 25,000 people, and the movement is unknown. ”

As soon as these words came out, the palace ministers immediately discussed and worried.

The Khan of Nuo Hao Bo quickly calculated in his mind and decided to resist the Tibetan lord with all his might.

The Khan inquired about the situation of the various departments of the imperial court, and decided to drive the imperial expedition in person, mobilize 210,000 horse infantry troops, and go to Tiexi City to fight a decisive battle with the Tibetan army. At the same time, he ordered Wang Shugeshu to command 70,000 troops to stay in the royal court to prevent the Tang army from attacking.

After the Tang army was stationed on the border, it immediately began mountain adaptation training.

Shanzhou observes the official residence of King Liang.

Li Su's expedition this time, the ladies rushed to follow one by one, and finally Ashina Qing took the lead with a unique advantage - she herself was the general of the unified army, and the commander of the cavalry division dispatched by the Anxi Protectorate this time was the former general of the Tuli Department, Ashinahong.

So Ash Naqing followed King Liang on the expedition in the envious eyes of all the princesses.

At this moment, Li Su was waiting for news from the Overseas Intelligence Bureau. He was bored, so he frolicked and chatted with Ash Naqing, who lay in his arms and said, "Brother Su, you can continue to tell Qing'er about "The Story of Stones". ”

Li Yu didn't do it, he knew that he would tell Ash Naqing at this time, and those ladies would let him continue to talk about it again after he went back, and it would be annoying to death. He said: "Qing'er, you have worked so hard to follow your husband on the expedition, I have to tell you something new, and I will only tell you alone." ”

Ash Naqing said in surprise: "Brother Su, you are so good to Qing'er, you can talk about it." ”

Li Su told her "The Story of One Thousand and One Nights". Ash Naqing listened to it with relish, and couldn't help but touch Li Su's head with her warm and white jade hand, and said adoringly: "Brother Su, how does your head grow, it contains so many good things." ”

Li Su held her jade hand, looked at her delicate face, and his heart was on fire, pushing her down, and he would be punished.

At this moment, Du He's voice rang out: "Brother Su, Director Misty is here." ”

"Damn, you damn Duhe, when it comes to the critical moment, you will come out and ruin the fun." Li was stunned. He shouted, "Wait a minute." ”

Ash Naqing was also a little unhappy, and hurriedly got up and sorted out her clothes.

Soon, Duhe came in with a sticker. It turned out that Du He was training special forces, and when he came, he passed by his training camp, and Du He also wanted to be stunned, so he came with him.

"Lord Wang!" He was very excited to see His Royal Highness King Liang. King Liang trusted him and gave full play to his strengths and talents, and he is now in a good mood and full of energy. I am very grateful for the kindness of King Liang.

Li Su smiled and said, "Director Xiaoti, hard work." Your overseas intelligence bureau has developed very well, and it has already made great contributions to Datang. This speaks volumes about your abilities. On behalf of my father, I commend you. ”

He said gratefully: "Lord, everything the minister has been given by you, and the minister is your faithful servant, and everything is only obeyed by the prince's orders." ”

Li Su said: "Tuyuhun's situation has been figured out, right? ”

Po Tie said: "Don't worry, the prince has our internal response among the nobles of Tuyuhun, and the information will be accurately transmitted at any time." ”

Li Su shouted: "Yang Kang, go and invite Lord Tang to come over." ”

Soon, Tang Fei walked in.

He gave a detailed report on the situation in Tibet and Tuyuhun and introduced Tuyuhun's military deployment.

Li Su asked: "Tubo and Tuyuhun fought a decisive battle in Tiexi City, what do you think of victory or defeat?" ”

Sticker said: "The Tubo people have been preparing for a long time before launching this war, and Tuyuhun is in a hurry; The weapons of the Tibetans were better than those of Tuyuhun, and the number of weapons of Tuyuhun was insufficient; Tibet is a slave society, most of their soldiers are slaves, their only way out is to fight hard in battle, win military merits to change the status of slaves, so the battle is extremely brave.

From these three aspects, Tuyuhun is in an unfavorable state. Therefore, although the forces of the two sides were slightly more than those of the Tubo, the odds of victory were not great. ”

Du He said: "In this case, we might as well hurry up and send troops, and wait until Tuyuhun is defeated and the morale of the Tubo army is strong, and it will be troublesome for us to send troops again." ”

Tang Fei said: "No, General Du, the current Tuyuhun doesn't need Datang's help, only after they are defeated, when they are cornered, will they be grateful for Datang's assistance, so let's hope they are defeated now." ”

Li Su said: "Lord Tang is right, our task is to prevent Tuyuhun from being annexed by Tubo, if they can repel the Tubo people, they will definitely be greatly injured, and they will not pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty for the time being, so we will not interfere with their affairs."

Only after the defeat of Tuyuhun will it be worthwhile for us to send troops. ”
