Chapter 472: Zhang Yi's Reason (II)

Although everyone didn't believe it, they had already withdrawn their troops at this time, so let's listen to what Zhang Yi had to say.

If he can't convince them, then he'll have to suffer.

Now even Xu Jingzong is a little worried about Zhang Yi, because judging from the words of those generals, he feels that Zhang Yi is likely to be in trouble next.

And Wang Zhe had asked for his opinion just now, and after he nodded, Wang Zhe ordered to withdraw from the army, if Zhang Yi was impeached or what happened, then he Xu Jingzong would not be able to get rid of it.

Xu Jingzong really wants to stay away from Zhang Yi now, he feels that since he has known Zhang Yi, almost nothing good has happened, and every day is spent in fear, which hurts his body.

Zhang Yi was not worried at all, gave Xu Jingzong a relaxed look, and then continued to explain his reasons for letting Wang Zhe withdraw from the army.

"Originally, the Tibetan people were fighting among themselves, and it is not right that we do not take advantage of the fishermen, but run to mix."

"Think about it, if we don't attack Qingtang City for the time being, and let the Tubo people fight in the city for a few days by themselves, and then they will all be exhausted, then wouldn't it be easy for us to get those Qingtang Cities?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that it was very likely that the Tubo people were still rioting before, and the people in the city might be fighting with the Tubo army.

"Look at it, now that we are fighting like this, Qingtang City is going to be breached, and those Tubo people have temporarily put aside the contradictions and joined forces to deal with us, which is quite unfavorable to us, do you say?"

Zhang Yi was not wrong about this, the generals present were not talking, and they also felt that the attack just now was indeed a bit reckless.

However, since it has already been fought, it should be fought, so why withdraw it?

Such a question reappeared in everyone's minds, and when they looked at Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi already knew what they were thinking.

So, Zhang Yi continued: "Then do you know why the Tubo people have infighting? ”

After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he looked around and found that everyone was dumbfounded.

That's right, they forgot a very important thing, the enemy is current, the Tubo people are good, why should there be infighting.

"Do you know that?" Wang Zhe was also interested and immediately asked Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi smiled and nodded.

"The Tibetan people have infighting because they don't have salt to eat, and as for why they don't have salt to eat, it's thanks to what we've been doing."

Zhang Yi said confidently, but everyone was skeptical.

Qingtang City has always been the main city of trade between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, and it can even be said to be one of the most important cities in Tubo.

Don't they usually have salt in stock?

Looking at everyone's puzzled expressions, Zhang Yi knew that they didn't believe it, after all, such news was a bit shocking, and they might not be able to accept it in their brains.

"But that's the way it is, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate, I believe this kind of thing should be easy to find out."

Zhang Yi didn't bother to tell them the specifics, anyway, that's the truth, he said it himself, believe it or not, it's their own business, and he doesn't need to talk to them so much.

"So, if we stop attacking them, they're going to make a fuss, because the soldiers don't have salt to eat, and they have to keep fighting, so they have to go through the civilians, loot from the homes of the civilians to get the salt they need."

"As long as there is oppression, then there will inevitably be resistance, those Tibetan civilians are forced to a dead end, naturally they can't care so much, and they will definitely continue to fight with the Tibetan soldiers at that time."

"When they are almost done, it will not be too late for us to attack, and it will be much easier for us to get those Qingtang Cities at that time."

In fact, under the attack of such a large number of Tang troops, if the Tubo people in Qingtang City could not do one thing, it would not be long before they were captured by the Tang army.

Not to mention that now that they are already in a state of infighting, they have already started to do it internally, and if this continues, it is only a matter of time before the Tang Army takes Qingtang.

Everyone was silent when they heard this, if it was really like what Zhang Yi said, then they should indeed withdraw their troops.

Let the Tubo people get tired of fighting themselves, and they will go up to clean up the mess, which is the best result.

"But the reinforcements of the Tubo people will arrive soon, and once their reinforcements arrive, we have little hope of capturing Qingtang City."

One of the generals quickly asked if Zhang Yi could solve his problem, then they would be convinced of Zhang Yi's reason for letting Wang Zhe withdraw his troops.

Zhang Yi continued: "It's the same with those Tibetan reinforcements, the more they come, the more miserable and faster they will die in the end. ”

"Don't believe it, look at it, those Tubo troops who are rushing here are also short of salt, although they will not immediately run out of salt to eat, but they definitely don't have enough salt on hand."

"If we want to start a war with us at that time, we will consume it with them, they have no salt to eat, and the entire Tubo country is now short of salt, even if those Tubo nobles want to bring salt to them, it will take a while, and during this period of time, the Tubo soldiers must also eat salt, right, if they eat salt, where does this salt come from?"

Zhang Yi asked everyone with a smile, but everyone just looked at each other.

"Now no one has salt to eat, they want to eat salt, two ways, the first is to surrender, our Datang side is more salt, the second is to grab from the Tubo people's homes, at this time, the people will have a little salt in every household, but there is not much salt, and the Tubo army has a lot of people, they want to eat enough for so many people, so how many families do they have to rob."

"Therefore, the more the Tibetans come, the more chaotic they will become, and their own internal strife is enough for them to deal with, if the Tibetan king still stubbornly continues to fight us, then we don't mind helping him make the Tibetan mess even more."

Speaking of which, Zhang Yi finally finished explaining his reasons.

And those generals, including Wang Zhe, were already dumbfounded.

Maybe in terms of fighting, Zhang Yi may not be able to compare to them, but in terms of strategy, Zhang Yi has to throw them ten streets.

"High, really high!"

Wang Zhe sighed, and then continued: "Withdraw the troops, let's just surround Qingtang City, and the Tubo reinforcements will come later, let's just let them in." ”

After Wang Zhe finished speaking, he waved his big hand and led everyone back to the big tent.
