Chapter 256: The King of Zao Sends Troops
The current situation in Tibet is that the original aristocracy has decayed rapidly, and the people at the bottom have risen rapidly, and they occupy the fields and houses of the original nobles, which means that a new aristocratic class is emerging, and this process is accompanied by killing and blood, and nobles like Songtsen Gampo are the ones who are purged, but at this time Gesar still needs many nobles to do things for him, as long as this transitional period is completed, the original forces will be completely cleaned.
Many people saw Gesar's thoughts, but they had no choice but to try their best to flatter Gesar and make him a perfect and omnipotent god, and maybe in the end the other party would be able to open the net and let him go, even if there was little hope.
"Master, you're right, we don't have any chance in Tibet, but this is your chance, and it's the only chance, as long as you grasp it, you can escape from this cave."
Rondo replied in a whisper.
"Opportunity? What chances? ”
"It is rumored that Liu Yue is a genius Yiyi, a rare master in the world, who occupies the two counties of Tianshui and Hongnong in a short period of time, and has become a decisive force in the world.
Rondo finally said what was on his mind.
"Take refuge in Liu Yuetian?"
Songtsen Gampo trembled in fright and almost collapsed on the ground, an idea he had never thought of.
"Lord, the 30,000 elite soldiers of Liang and Hebei have all been wiped out, and the soldiers in Tibet are now a bunch of dirt buns, and they haven't undergone much training at all, plus you can't really command at all, those prison troops are all straw bales, can such an army fight? If you lead this group of people to die, if you fail, none of your people will be able to escape. ”
"This .........!"
Songtsen Gampo was silent, he kept thinking and analyzing the stakes.
"That's right, Rondo, you're right, we have very few chances of winning this time by sending troops, once we fail, it's death, it's better to be like what you said, we secretly took refuge in Liu Yuetian, these soldiers should be a big gift to him, as long as I can live, it doesn't matter if I am a farmer."
Finally, Songtsen Gampo figured everything out and made up his mind.
"Okay, the lord is right, the villain is not talented, and he is willing to go to Tianshui to contact Liu Yuetian."
"Don't worry, this matter must not leak the news, only when we arrive in Dalu City can we contact Liu Yuetian, this matter can only be known to you and me, and others must not be informed, you go and prepare now, take my wife and children secretly, you can't let those prison soldiers know, and your family, only close relatives can bring it, the less the better, as for the others, we can only let them fend for themselves."
They took refuge in Liu Yuetian, their own clansmen were naturally a dead end, and Gesar also wanted to take all the clansmen to leave, but that would undoubtedly make Gesar suspicious, so he could only bring his favorite woman and three children, these people were also taken away secretly, as for the remaining dozens of clansmen, then I'm sorry, you can only become cannon fodder.
"Okay, I'll arrange it!"
Rondo nodded and turned to leave.
"Alas, my people, you can't blame me, rest assured, this deep hatred of my Songtsen Gampo will definitely avenge you .........!"
Three days later, the army of 20,000 was ready, Songtsen Gampo placed his five family members in the Huotou Army, these Huotou soldiers were all nobles at the beginning, and now they can only cook for the army, these people hate Gesar to the core, and when they saw Songtsen Gampo disguise their relatives as Huotou Army, they immediately thought of something, if it was really as they thought, this was also their opportunity.
"General Solang, when are we leaving?"
Songtsen Gampo saw that the army in front of him had been assembled and could be drawn at any time, but he still asked a person beside him respectfully.
This person is a prisoner and a close confidant of Gesar, and he followed Songtsen Gampo on the expedition to spy on the other party.
Don't look at Gesar's murderous psychopath, but his ability to recognize people is still very powerful, knowing that his cronies don't have much ability, and he has to rely on those nobles to fight, but he is very uneasy about this nobleman, so he adopts the system of the Great Zhou, and sends a prison army every time he fights, one is to monitor the nobles; There is also the idea that these overseers can improve their abilities in the war in order to replace these nobles in the future, and even if the war is lost, these overseers will not be punished in any way.
"Songtsen Gampo, this battle is your chance, if you win, the Emperor of Heaven will give you a great reward, but if you fail, hmph, I don't need to say anything more!"
The other party sat on the horse and looked at Songtsen Gampo and said coldly.
"General Solang, don't worry, whether I get credit or not is a trivial matter, it is a big deal to relieve the worries of the Emperor and the general, this expedition I promise to let you show your face in front of the Emperor, I wish you to become a protector in the future, and it is not too late for you to personally reward the villain at that time."
"Haha, General Songtsan is right to say so, don't worry, as long as you can wish me a great victory, I will speak for you from the Emperor of Heaven!"
Solang laughed loudly when he heard the other party's words, and the words reached his heart.
"Listen to my orders, the army will march towards the city of Daolu!"
Dalu City is located in the upper reaches of the Jinsha River section of Tianshui thousands of miles away, this city is located on the riverside, after occupying this city, as long as you take a boat down the river, you can reach the three towns of Tianshui in less than three days, the speed is far faster than any fast horse.
Six days later, 20,000 troops entered the city of Dalu, this city is the bridgehead of Gesar's attack on the Central Plains, so the scale is no less than Tianzang City, the population alone is as much as one million, but there are very few troops in the city of Dalu, people just grow food and build weapons and ships, the army of Tibet is stationed in Tianzang City, Gesar is suspicious by nature, never put the army in other cities, this is also because Tibet is too high, the Central Plains people never thought of coming here to conquer Gesar, to this plateau, let alone fighting, Even breathing was extremely difficult, so Gesar didn't need to station a large number of troops in other cities.
There is a wide river on the side of the city of Dalu, this river is called the Yarlung Zangbo River, originates from the Tianzhu Mountain on the top of Tibet, the river water rushes down from the Tianzhu Mountain, it is named the Yarlung Zangbo River by the Tibetans in Tibet, and flows out of Tibet after it becomes the Jinsha River, and it is called the Yalong River in the Shu Mountain.
One river is three, the Brahmaputra River is located upstream, you can reach it in three days by taking a big boat, and it is much more difficult to go up the river, which is why Tianshui is always passive defense and cannot take the initiative to attack.
