Chapter 477: An Important Place
"I will send a letter to Hou Junji and Liu Lan in a while to discuss the dispatch www.biquge.info of troops. This time, I must give Songtsam a hard time." Without the worry of resisting the decree, Cheng Biting Jin's eyes said with a ruthless light.
"The toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't know how thick the sky is, so him to death." Wu Yuanqing echoed loudly, and then suggested: "What, Uncle Cheng, although we haven't received the order for a truce yet, who knows when the order will be sent, I think it's better not to discuss with General Hou and General Liu, just start fighting, we just need to send them a letter saying that we want to send troops, and ask them to cooperate."
Wu Yuanqing didn't want to make extraneous branches, just like he said that the time was urgent, he sent a letter to Hou Junji, Liu Lan's discussion was very delayed, if the two of them had questions, they would inevitably have to explain one or two, and the order for a truce was sent without negotiating, and then if you want to start a war, it is really a protest.
"Well, Yuanqing is right, let's go straight to it." Niu Jinda nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's send troops directly, if they want to cooperate, they will cooperate, it doesn't matter if they don't cooperate, with our 20,000 soldiers on two roads, it will not be a problem to teach Tubo children a hard lesson." Cheng Yanjin thought about it and nodded.
Although Hou Junji is the president of several soldiers and horses, Cheng Biting Jin, and Niu Jinda have to listen to Hou Junji's command, but they have been at war with Tubo before, but there are not many remnants of resistance in Tubo in the newly occupied places recently, and it is almost clear that they should be cleared, so it seems that several managers are a lot more idle.
But in fact, it is still wartime, and the soldiers and horses of the four roads are still fighting sporadically, so even if Cheng Bites Jin and Niu Jinda leads the soldiers and horses of the two roads to attack on a large scale, Hou Junji, the commander, can't say anything, who let neither the imperial court nor Hou Junji give any orders to stop the war or limit the scale of the battle.
Therefore, there is no problem at all if you don't discuss it with Hou Junji.
"Old Niu, how many bombs do you have in your army?" Cheng Yanjin asked again.
"There are still a lot left, the previous battle of Songzhou to attack the Tubo camp consumed a little more, and then pursued all the way, basically never used, now there are almost two per person." As for the equipment of his subordinates, Niu Jinda came as soon as he opened his mouth, and there was no way to know what else the situation was, but the number of bombs needed to be recounted after each battle. And the consumption of bombs is all for the former military, and the rear army is more often like a baggage soldier, who helps the front army carry and keep the bombs.
Niu Jinda's men originally had 10,000 people, attacked the Tubo camp and lost nearly 1,000 people, and the result was the collapse of the Tubo camp of 200,000 people, as well as the destruction of more than 10,000 enemies and the capture of more than 20,000 people. After that, it was all the way to chase and kill the rout, and lost nearly 1,000 people one after another, but the Tubo people who were pursued were even more miserable, because the pursuit was timeliness and speed, so Niu Jinda basically did not accept surrender when he was pursuing, and he was chopped if he didn't run, so he chased down all the way down and killed 30,000 enemies, only brought back a few hundred prisoners, or the stragglers who ran into him on the way back.
Niu Jinda's results were brilliant, but the battle damage was very small, and the combat effectiveness was basically not much reduced, and there were more than 8,000 men, each of whom still had two bombs, that is, 16,000, which was enough for another big battle.
"Okay, enough bombs, then let's make a hard stubble." Cheng Yanjin laughed and said.
"Hard stubble?" Wu Yuanqing looked puzzled, because listening to this word, it seemed that he had beaten before but had not beaten down, but he had never heard of it.
"Yes, hard stubble." Cheng Yanjin took out a simple map, pointed to a place for Wu Yuanqing to see, and explained: "That's it, Gongbu Jiangda, we hit here before this way, but this place is different from other places that have been beaten down, it should belong to the inherent territory of Tubo, there is a big nobleman ruling here, not only there are many soldiers, but the local people are also very resolute in resisting."
The stubborn Sili on the side continued: "Although the enemy was killed more than 2,000 people in that battle, we also lost more than 600 people, and the battle losses were a bit large, plus you sent a letter saying that the food and grass were not enough, so we also retreated, otherwise even if we can take it again, the losses will be very large, and the gains outweigh the losses."
Listening to Cheng Biting Jin and Zhi Zhi Sili complement each other, Wu Yuanqing knew that the Tang Army's offensive was not smooth sailing, and there was still such a thing in the relationship. Not to mention that he is in charge of logistics, even Niu Jinda has never heard of this, because Cheng Biting Jin, he feels ashamed to give his subordinates a gag order, and he is not allowed to mention this matter, if he doesn't want to fight again now and choose the target of attack, Cheng Biting Jin will not say this.
Gongbu Jiangda? Wu Yuanqing muttered these four words in his mouth, thinking about the information about this place in his mind, maybe he didn't know much about the situation in Tibet before, but after the war, Wu Yuanqing had people collect information about the various forces in Tibet.
The focus of the article is to mention the place of Gongbu Jiangda, because here are the five places with the strongest inherent strength in Tibet.
After Songtsen Gampo unified the plateau two years ago, he divided his ruling area into five Ru, which can be understood as the Tao of the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to the administrative division of the total high.
Gongbu Jiangda belongs to one of these five Ru, and it is the ruling area of Ru, and it is the seat of governance of Ru, and the hereditary lord of Gongbu Jiangda is not an ordinary nobleman, but a descendant of King Niangbu with the blood of the Zampu royal family.
To put it simply, the ruler of Gongbu Jiangda belongs to the Tubo royal family, and Songtsen Gampo is a close relative, so it is no wonder that there are so many Tubo soldiers stationed.
Even before Tibet unified the plateau, the people here were regarded as a family with Tibet, but they were separated earlier, so the people here are naturally staunch supporters of the Tibetan royal family.
It is still very wise for Cheng Yanjin to retreat after a battle, otherwise not to mention how much loss there will be if he is defeated here, it will be a trouble to govern after the fight.
But now if you want to give Tubo a ruthless blow, then it is a good choice to fight here, because the more loyal Tubo is, the more deeply related to Songtsen Gampo is, the more it can make Songtsan Gampo heartache.
"Okay, just hit here. With bombs, I don't believe it's so hard to bite here." Niu Jinda said viciously.
The target of the attack has been set, Cheng Biting Jin, Losing Thinking, Niu Jinda and the three of them all went out to arrange the arrangement, Gao Biaoren also went out to help allocate grain and grass, leaving Wu Yuanqing alone Looking at the map and pondering, his eyes were on another place.
