Chapter 357: Wanting to Pick the Bow (1)

Standing on Chengfeng Ridge, looking at the east, there are still continuous mountains and mountains in the east, but the road is divided into two from not far away, one side turns to the northeast, and the other side turns to the southeast. Because the water system is developed, the vegetation is very lush, and the cool autumn wind blows, slightly with layers of yellow, and then the yellow waves are stacked one after another, which is very spectacular.

Pointing to the distance, he said, "The Tang Dynasty has set up two military camps here, one next to the green mountain leading to the Heyuan military road, and the other on the iron trench leading to the Kuozhou road. ”

On Qinling pondered for a moment, then stared at the avenue. The Tang Dynasty was generous enough not to suspend the trade routes, and Zanpo did not stop it before her brother arrived. Tuyuhun and Tubo needed these trade routes, and at the same time, if they were the attacking side, but they were interrupted, it was also a sign of weakness. Therefore, there are still many merchants on this avenue, who dare not lead horses, cattle and sheep to trade with the Tang Dynasty, but the fur and jade are still liked by the Tang Dynasty, and then exchange silk, tea, and even luck to the Tang Dynasty, you can get through the customs in the confusion and exchange for a large number of iron tools. But it's much smaller than it used to be.

On Qinling asked, "Third brother, have you seen the weaknesses of the 180,000 army of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Did the Tang Dynasty have weaknesses? On Zanpo was at a loss, he didn't see the weaknesses of the Tang Dynasty, but saw that his side would face a lot of problems. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

"Hugh has to look down on the enemy, and the Tang Dynasty has the same number of weaknesses, at least eight."

"Hachijo?" On Zanpo asked in surprise, Hugh said eight, one of two or three for the second brother to catch, it would be enough for the Tang Dynasty army to be defeated, so he thought again, still at a loss, and asked: "Second brother, what are the eight weaknesses?" ”

"Third brother, you see, the business road continues to be open, is it true that the Tang Dynasty people are so greedy for money?"

Ronzanpo shook her head. I used to believe that Prince Tang was greedy for money, but now he won't think like this. If you want to get cattle, horses and sheep, you can't get them now, did the Tang Dynasty really lack fur to the point of ignoring the life and death of hundreds of thousands of troops? But he can understand this, if the trade route continues to be open, a large number of scouts can be sent to Qinghai to use the mixed personnel to spy on the news. But this one is also beneficial to the Tang Dynasty army, people are Yangmou, when your army arrives, I will be like a turtle, shrinking into the castle, there is a kind of you coming to attack, I will not come out to fight with you anyway. It is of little significance for the Tibetans to obtain information, but as an attacking party, the intelligence of the Tibetans is very useful to the Tang Dynasty.

"I know what you think, but the idea is wrong, the business is open, although the people of the Tang Dynasty can get some information from us, we can also get some information from them. There is another important one, we can mix in some useful people, it is unlikely that we can attack the city and plunder the land, but is it really that important to attack the city and plunder the land? Wrong, the two armies are fighting, and attacking the city and plundering the land is the next strategy, is it possible to do a lot of things? It's just intelligence! This is the most fatal weakness of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Second brother, what are the arrangements?"

"I've arranged it a long time ago, maybe you'll be able to see some of it today. Let me talk about the second weakness of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty people defended the city, built many cities, outposts, checkpoints, and garrisons, and there were a large number of weapons and materials in the city, which could hold on for a long time. Speaking of which, he is also a little unnatural, especially the lethality of the large trebuchet, and the perverted gunpowder, it will be more and more difficult to attack the cities of the Tang Dynasty in the future. He also said: "But there are strengths and weaknesses in sticking to it, all defense, tactics are dull, and the army is dull, and we are calmly arranged, flexible and mobile." This is also the fatal weakness of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Second brother, although it is good, but they did not plan to attack, our army arrived, they held the city, fought with us, and when our army left, in the name of Nuo Hao, plundered the people of Tuyuhun. There was even Tuyuhun who took the initiative to go to defect. "This tactical theory has long been seen by Zanpo, and I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't crack it. Qinghai is mountainous, there are not many roads, each has to rush to these castles, coupled with the Tang Dynasty brought a large number of weapons and supplies, and more than 100,000 troops to hold on, this plan became perfect. Either you can use a pile of people, you can always destroy a few cities, but at least it is possible to pay three or four times the sacrifice, like Shicheng Mountain, it is possible to pay more than ten times the sacrifice to take it down, can you do this? There are also trails, get off the horse, climb from the mountains, it would be good to climb thousands of people in one night, and there may be many soldiers falling off the cliffs, what can these thousands of people do with the enemy's inner belly? I just happened to serve snacks to the people of the Tang Dynasty.

"If you are only cutting down the city, you naturally think that they have no shortcomings, but you are wrong, third brother, where is the sun in three hours?"

"The sun has set."

"Yes, when the sun goes up, the people begin to work, and when the sun sets, the people begin to rest. This is the way of heaven. But how can everything in the world be eternally balanced? At this time, the sun was in the middle, and after a few moments, the sun set. The situation has changed again. Water is impermanent, the art of war is impermanent, once it is rigid, it has fallen into inferiority. Just as the farmer can have a good harvest in the spring and summer, and the autumn harvest and winter storage, so can the farmer have a good harvest according to the weather, and the same is true for the march, the army must be constantly moving in order to seize the warplane. Since ancient times, how many battles have been won by defense alone? ”

On Zanpo is meditating hard, but I still can't figure it out.

On Qinling ignored him and continued: "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not worried that his son is in charge of an army of more than 100,000 people, so today the Tang Dynasty army is equivalent to having a second commander, which is another shortcoming. ”

"That's the case, but the second brother, that Li Jingxuan is the *** department, and he is very close to the prince, after the prince came to Qinghai, he concentrated on the logistics and never competed with the prince, which is difficult to use."

"Then let me ask you, does Li Jingxuan have the right to mobilize the army?"

"Yes."

"Since there is, this is a shortcoming, and that Li Jingxuan doesn't know how to fight, and Prince Tang also knows it, and he hasn't really commanded the army to fight, so this shortcoming has become a big shortcoming."

"Yes," Zanpo responded, but he was still at a loss in his mind, just like the second brother said that killing the Tang prince was like digging for something, Li Jingxuan had the right, but he knew himself, how to let him command the army? Unless Li Jingxuan falls and breaks his head, he will fight for military power with Prince Tang.

"Then you see, the Tang Dynasty occupied Dabadougu, not only guarded the safety of the Hehuang region, guarded the second road of Shancheng in the north, but also defended Lianggan and other prefectures, and even transferred troops from Liangzhou and Ganzhou to support the situation in a critical situation. Guarding the main road of Chiling, directly threatening Wei Chichuan, although there was a mistake in Chengfengling, he could immediately set up a second battalion in the rear to make up for this mistake and ensure the safety of Kuozhou. He went south to conquer Hongji Bridge and Wansu City. Entering can attack Dafeichuan, Chihai, Shudun City, Mantou City, retreat there are countless castles to defend, and the Yellow River is a natural hazard. But isn't the front too long? ”

"Yes," but I still don't understand in my heart, this is not a battle of 10,000 people and 20,000 people, the Tang Dynasty dispatched nearly 200,000 troops, and Tubo itself also has an army of 1670,000, and it can also gather nearly 200,000 troops from Tuyuhun and the party. Together, it will be a battle of more than 500,000 people, how can the battle line not be long?

"If the front is long, the news notification will be slow, and the response of the north and the south will be very slow."

"Yes," said Ronzanpo with a bitter face, he lost half of the Jiuqu, as well as the three cities of Hongji Bridge, and it was this loss that he suffered.

"This is the fighter," said half of the talk about Qinling, and left half of it, which is to let the third child think about it and exercise the growth of his wisdom. Tibet is unstable, many people oppose the dictatorship of the Gar family, and some tribes are ready to move, as the new chief of Tibet, he can not stay in Qinghai for a long time, and after this war, he will also return to the city of Luo. Qinghai will have to be handed over to the old three rulers in the future. Therefore, after he came to Qinghai, he did not say a word of rebuke, but only guided and restored his faith.

In fact, sometimes I was very annoyed in my heart, and I was afraid of an accident when I was leaving, so I told him not to move, but not only did he move, but he also moved three times. For the first time, the teacher mobilized the people, but he returned in vain. The second time it lost 15,000 people, and the third time it lost its land, and it also lost nearly 30,000 soldiers.

However, it strengthened his idea of killing Li Wei, at least when the third child and the Tang prince were facing the enemy, he completely fell into a psychological disadvantage, and he could only follow the steps of the Tang Dynasty prince in the future.

But there was no criticism.

He also said: "Although Dafeichuan was defeated by our army, Nanzhao won one, Shancheng won two, and Jiuqu won three victories. Although it increased the morale of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it also had the effect of arrogance to some extent. Not only the proud soldiers, but also many generals have become proud generals. Except for a very few generals who are sober-minded, such as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jinxing, it is possible that the black tooth Changzhi and Qi Ming are also one. Most of the other people have begun to underestimate us Tubo people again, is this shortcoming still small? ”

This is a fact, and Zanpo's eyes narrowed, and this shortcoming was raised, and when it was linked to what was said earlier, there were already some vague thoughts in my mind.

On Qinling is very satisfied, as a soldier, among the Tubo people, in addition to himself, it is difficult for a second person to be the enemy of the third child. In the final analysis, it was the first time he went out to the army and returned without success, which left some shadows in his heart, and he wanted to make meritorious contributions and make a name for himself, but he repeatedly fell into the trap of the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If it weren't for Li Jinxing's empty city plan and no shadow in his heart, the prince of the Tang Dynasty might not have been able to bargain so much this time.

He also said the weakness of the sixth Tang Dynasty army: "The Tang Dynasty sent out the army this time, and there were many famous generals, but no matter which general, it was not my enemy, or the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If this is not a weakness, add one, in addition to some good generals, there are more stupid people. And these fools have a lot of power, is this a weakness of the Tang Dynasty army? ”

"Yes," Ronzanpo's eyes brightened, and he saw some of the second brother's thoughts more and more clearly.

"The Tang Dynasty has so many weaknesses, can we easily defeat them?"

"Yes, but I haven't thought of the trigger yet."

"Yes, I just said the six weaknesses of the Tang Dynasty army, and there are two more in the back, and these two can become the fuse on the gunpowder of the Tang Dynasty."

"Those two?"

"It's coming," said Qin Ling, pointing to the eastern avenue with his hand.

Up the avenue came a caravan of camels, small in size, loaded with some goods, and a few horses, on which sat four or five people.

"Come, third brother, and see what good news my scouts have brought us." As he spoke, he walked down Chengfeng Ridge with Ronzanpo and greeted him. One of the merchants' leaders knelt down and said, "My subordinates have seen the Great Theory. ”

"Get up, get up."

"Yes."

"Did it go well?"

"The subordinates are lucky not to be insulted," he said, taking out two pieces of paper from his bosom and handing them over.

On Qinling took the paper, laughed, and said, "Sure enough, as I expected, third brother, you see." ”

Hand over one of them, Ronzanpo took it and took a look, they all have strange and wise brothers in the world, so they all know Chinese characters, and they can even write. This piece of paper is the reward of the Tang Dynasty court for all the meritorious soldiers this time. On Tsangpo didn't immediately understand that if you make meritorious service, you will be rewarded, what is this?

"This is another weakness of the Tang Dynasty army, which can detonate their complete defeat, and even obediently give the prince to me."
