Chapter 138: On Da Fei Chuan Again

An autumn rain is coming.

Strictly speaking, it is not autumn, the sky has just passed the beginning of autumn, and the weather is still very hot. But with the smell of autumn rain, it does not rain very much, but it can be continuous, living for a while, falling for a while, and lasting for a day and a night.

It came a little late, that is, the last ten days and eight days, and it was useless to pay for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, it's better to go down than to go down, otherwise what will happen to next year's summer harvest? Then it was rumored that the imperial court began to discuss the matter of the Great Pheasant Sacrifice again.

It's shameless. But my father's mood is somewhat understood, in this era, everything is involved in ghosts and gods, and years of disasters have put a lot of pressure on my father. Had to do it.

was thinking wildly, Li Zhi sent a eunuch to invite him to Miyagi to discuss matters.

Still in Li Zhi's imperial study, there are Yan Liben, Hao Chujun and several Zaifu sitting in the room, as well as a few Shangshu, and another person, Zuo Xiang Jiang Ke. Gave him a strange look. This person is in Chang'an, why did he come to Luoyang.

I was suspicious in my heart, but the etiquette was not lost, and I said: "See my father, I have seen a few ministers. ”

"Sit down," Li Zhi asked him to sit down, and said, "Jiang Qing will go to Liangzhou in the near future." ”

Now Luoyang is not in Chang'an to supervise the country, so I didn't see the Di newspaper, and when I heard my father's order, I also understood. Not only is it raining in Luoyang, but I'm afraid that autumn rain will begin to fall in Guanzhong, at least the wheat and barley in autumn can be sown, so the matter of Tubo is on the agenda again.

He arched his hand and said, "Jiang Xianggong, I wish you a smooth journey." ”

"Don't dare," but Jiang Ke's expression was not very good-looking.

Li Zhi said again: "At the beginning, I have already seen the strategies you talked about with Dai Qing, Zhang Qing, Liu Qing and Jiang Qing. ”

"That's the son's ignorance, and he doesn't know the severity, and he said the shallow thoughts in his heart. Father, please forgive your sins. ”

"It's very shallow, but there are some merits, I ask you, why is the defeat of Dafeichuan so disastrous, and I didn't execute Guo Beifeng?"

"I don't know."

"Look at the map." He threw the map over and said, "Look at how far Dafeichuan is from Wuhai." ”

It is very far away, and it is not like later generations, at this time, Qinghai to Wuhai area, including Dafeichuan, water and grass are luxuriant, and even many places are swamps. The trip is more difficult. Li Wei looked at it and said, "Erchen still doesn't understand. ”

"Xue Rengui was far away in Wuhai, and he ordered Guo to be sealed to transport the baggage to Wuhai. In this battle, there were many Tibetan soldiers, and Xue Rengui wanted to take the enemy's grain, so he went to Wuhai first, that is, he took tens of thousands of the enemy's cattle and sheep, and wanted to disintegrate the Tubo coalition army. This is also the meaning of Tibet. It is hundreds of miles from Dafeichuan to Wuhai, and if you escort the baggage to Wuhai, the few troops will only be intercepted by the Tubo people. Under Xue Rengui's urging, he had no choice but to exhaust the whole army. Guo Beifeng's loss was also caused by Xue Rengui's failure to calculate in advance. ”

This is the most conventional way of saying it now.

But this is not the case, for this matter, Li Wei also talked to Xue Ne. At the beginning, the situation in Qinghai was underestimated, and the imperial court was very ambitious, and appointed Xue Rengui as the general manager of the Luo Dao march, which was another transliteration of Luo Qicheng, that is, to prepare Tubo as a Tao of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, since the defeat of Dafeichuan, the Tang Dynasty no longer has the word "Luosudao". Therefore, Xue Rengui came with a soldier and a noble god, using Dafeichuan as a stronghold, and marched into Wuhai, which was prepared as the first battle. If this battle is won, it is possible to use the city of Doma as a base and march to the Synora Post for a second battle. Or take the Humang Gorge as the third stronghold, and march to the Xiangkagawa Station for the third battle. Then march to the city of Logos.

In short, after the defeat, Li Zhi was furious, now the Tang Dynasty is not like the Song Dynasty, there are more than one million troops at every turn, and more than 100,000 people are lost, and the total population is just a little bit, and there are not many troops in the country. Coupled with the loss of 100,000 of the strongest soldiers and laborers of the people, Li Zhi was very painful. Then he sent the imperial historian Le Yanwei to inspect the reasons for the failure, and escorted Xue Rengui, Guo Beifeng, and Ashina Daozhen back to the capital with shackles.

However, in the end, the death penalty was pardoned and the official was dismissed.

After Xue Rengui returned home, he reviewed himself, and underestimated it at the beginning, if he used Shankuo Erzhou as a stronghold, the Tang Dynasty had a good foundation and lured the enemy to come, although the Qinling was very powerful in using troops, but he was also sure of a big victory. However, the general of the defeated army did not speak bravely, and after the defeat, he negotiated peace with the Qinling Tomb privately, and escaped, which was even more humiliating. So I just closed the door.

In this regard, Li Wei still does not approve, maybe he will not be defeated, but if he wants to win a big victory, it is in Shankuo Erzhou, which is also not necessarily. The later forums clearly ranked the generals of this era, and the Qinling was the first, which was not said by the Tubo people, but by the Han people themselves. You can't admit it. There are also people who broke out later, who are Khitan, I can't remember the name, and it's also very powerful. As long as Guo Beifeng's kid is restless, even if he uses Shanzhou as a base, he may still fail, at most it will not be so miserable.

Then Xue Rengui said another thing like his son, and he also mentioned some of it when he defended himself. But after entering Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui felt that it was not very good, don't march into Luocheng City, like the Sui Dynasty or Li Jing, he can achieve a dazzling victory in Tuyuhun, and he can explain it when he goes back. Of course, this kind of frustrating words were only said to his son. But it is true that when leaving the Dafei Chuanling, he said a word to Guo Zhifeng, the sea is far away, the car is difficult, if it is heavy, it will wreck, the thief will return, and it will be annoying. Peter's miasma, there is no time to stay. After preparing for this battle, Tuyuhun was pacified, and the division returned to the court.

So he set up a plan to let Guo Beifeng and Ashina Daozhen lead 20,000 troops to be stationed in the Dafei River Ridge to guard grain, grass and military supplies. He went to the mouth of the Jishi River and broke the Tibetan coalition army. As for Guo Beifeng's 20,000 troops, he had ulterior motives, he could attack the enemy and intercept cattle and sheep, and the Tubo people would do the same. However, according to Dafeiling, there is a danger to defend, and the 20,000 troops can hold on for some time, and the soldiers attacked by Tubo are already tired at this time.

Then he returned with his army. What will happen if the food is lost, and the soldiers under his command will definitely be motivated. As soon as the morale of the two sides increased, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops were defeated in one fell swoop. This is to take the meaning of Xiang Yu's broken cauldron and sinking the boat. But Guo Beifeng didn't see him, and he didn't have a prejudice against Guo Beifeng, he just gave an order, and he didn't even have a discussion. Did he order some supplies to be escorted, but not grain and grass, so many cattle and sheep were seized, and they were not eaten to raise and play? There are also military supplies, but most of the weapons of the Tibetan people are still very backward and not applicable. But he didn't expect Guo Zhifeng to disobey the order and rush 20,000 troops to Wuhai with the people. Xue Rengui was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered him to march quickly, which was also the origin of Guo Beifeng's cunning later. But Guo Beifeng was still unhurried, and Xue Rengui sent another two thousand elites to cover, but it was too late......

Therefore, Xue Rengui said to Xue Ne: "In this battle, there are many derelictions of duty for my father. ”

This is what Xue Rengui said to Xue Ne before leaving, Xue Ne is a man and silent, if it weren't for Li Wei, and he seemed to admire his father very much in his words, he wouldn't have said it. And this remark was what Xue Rengui said to his son when he went to Goryeo, not to repent or anything, but to teach Xue Ne to learn from the successes and failures, including the climate of Tibet, etc., all of which were taught to his son, so it should be more credible.

However, Li Wei will not argue stupidly, although Guo Beifeng's father died in the battle of Qiuzi, but at the beginning of Li Shi's militia to ask Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande raised troops to help, and many generals and ministers persuaded Li Shimin to withdraw from the army and take it later. Only his father Guo Xiaoke said that the Dou army was tired from afar, and according to the Tiger Prison Pass, he annihilated the enemy in one fell swoop, and the Dou army was annihilated. So Li Shimin listened to the suggestion, and this battle was the most tragic and important battle in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It can be said that this battle accounted for at least one-third of the credit for the unification of the world in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Guo family is friendly with many powerful people, Xue Rengui has made a lot of contributions, in the final analysis, he is still a farmer. Besides, there is also responsibility, so Li Wei said: "What my father said is reasonable. ”

"But why did I also forgive Xue Rengui?"

"I don't know."

"In the final analysis, I was also wrong, underestimating the Tubo people, so I appointed Xue Rengui as the chief administrator of the Luo Dao. Both up and down have the heart to underestimate the enemy, how can they be undefeated? ”

That's fine. But Li Wei didn't dare to answer.

Li Zhi said again: "I also carried out the idea you came up with. ”

"Erchen is ashamed," Li Wei said this, but in his heart, he was saying why I didn't hear any news. It seems that this matter has been kept secret, but I don't know what my father is trying to do when he tells it today.

"But the news I received is a bit complicated, Jiang Qing, you can tell me."

"Well, His Royal Highness the Prince, Tibet is vast, the terrain is complex, the military department used some shrewd and loyal Tibetan soldiers, as scouts, into Qinghai and other areas of Tubo, some far, now the scouts have not returned, but the nearby scouts have brought back news one after another. Most of the tribes agreed, and only a few tribes were loyal to Tibet and had our scouts killed. However, the situation is somewhat complicated, first of all, the tribes, some tribes are hereditary, some tribes are Zen concession system, some tribal chiefs have great rights, some tribal chiefs do not have the right of elders, and some tribal chiefs have very small rights. There are also tribes, such as the party item, the big one has eight surnames, each of which is not the same, even if the same surname is not in the same place. Some are unified, while others are not. Speaking of loyalty, some tribes are very loyal to Tibet, and some tribes have many small tribes, some are loyal, some are disloyal, such as Yangtong, the whole Yangtong has a winning soldier **10,000 soldiers, it is a very strong tribe in Tubo, sometimes rebelling and sometimes surrendering, but not all tribes surrender, or sincerely submit to Tibet. For example, some tribes in Yangtong are dissatisfied with Tibet, but some tribes are very loyal to Tibet. There is a big tribe called the Wulu clan, which is very loyal to Tubo and is ready to marry the princess of the clan to Tubo Zampu. In some tribes, the chieftains are loyal to Tibet, but the people are not loyal to Tibet. There is only one point, after hearing about it, they all expressed their sincere convincing to our Datang, and even said that they could ask the people of the tribe to transport the materials back to the tribe by themselves under the guise of merchants. ”

"Hong'er, you understand."

"Erchen understands, Jiang Xianggong means that our Tang Dynasty is not having a good year, and if we give them materials, even if we are dissatisfied with Tubo, all the people in the clan may not be willing to help our Tang Dynasty, and it is even possible to use these materials to deal with our Tang Dynasty in turn."

"Your Highness, the minister has this intention, and he does not understand the language, the customs, the habits, the road is very difficult, and it is difficult for the scouts to blend in and hear useful news. Besides, some of these large and small tribes have as many as hundreds of thousands of people, and some only have a few hundred people, and it is difficult to distribute materials. Even if it is funding, it is also very difficult. ”

"Hong'er, what plan do you have?"

Li Wei was dizzy in his heart, what plan can I have? But the father seems to have gotten some sweetness from him, which is a good sign. So I bowed my head and thought hard. This is not a joke, once it is implemented, if these people really use the weapons provided by the Tang Dynasty and oppose to deal with the Tang Dynasty, they will not be able to eat and walk away. It seems that the Vietnamese did this in his previous life, from weapons to food, to technology were provided by the Chinese, but then what?

After a long while, he said: "I have an immature idea, I'll say it first, and you can make a reference." ”

"Say."

"I've heard some wolf legends in the city." As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, he saw Li Zhi's face gloomy, and remembered that he had said Hu people a few months ago, and let his father scold him fiercely, and he and his father were still half Hu people, but they should not use wolves as a metaphor.
