Chapter 343: Non-Sichuan Grass (1)

It is difficult to bargain under the hands of Qinling, and it is difficult to go to the sky.

It is also difficult to bargain under the hands of Zanpo, and it is difficult to climb Kunlun Mountain.

Not only difficult, July has passed the month and a half, seeing that August is coming, August and September, the season of autumn is high and refreshing, it is a good time for the Tubo people to shoot, and the Qinling will come. And until now, on Qinling has not returned, it's not that he doesn't know that the 180,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty have arrived, and he hasn't come back for so long, because he is transferring troops and sending generals. The longer the time drags on, the more armies will be brought from Tibet.

There wasn't much time left for Li Wei.

So a large amount of supplies were transported to the Jishi Army, and this news could not be concealed if they wanted to.

On Tsangpo looked at the map and meditated.

On Gongren said: "Third uncle, he is going to attack Wansu City and Hongji Bridge." ”

"Really?" Ronzanpo frowned and asked.

The location of Wansu City and Hongji Bridge is self-evident, Hongji Bridge is not just a bridge, there was a town originally, and later a city was set up, because it is a place where soldiers must fight, and many are damaged. After the defeat of Shancheng, Ronzanpo made some transfers, including stationing troops to Wansu City, Hongji Bridge and Baigu, and building a city in Baigu, which was actually a military fortress and repairing Hongji City again.

If the Tang Dynasty took these two cities, it could threaten the important city of Shudun City in Tuyuhun, and it could even be used as a bridgehead to attack Dafeichuan. Losing these two cities, Baigu City will become the palm of the Tang Dynasty, and it can also go south to capture the Great and Small Elm Valleys, and it can also force the Jiuqu and Dushan armies. The entire Jiuqu will be engulfed by the Tang Dynasty.

"Is this prince too hungry?"

Gong Ren couldn't hear the words and didn't answer.

"It's not that you don't attack, you look at the map," said Ron Tsangpo, pointing to the map, "His meaning is very clear, he will not fight a field war with us, but only take advantage of the city and their weapons to consume our soldiers step by step." Therefore, after arriving in Qinghai, the construction of the city began. ”

Above are the locations of the cities, some small forts have been built, but some large castles are still being built. It is mainly in the abdomen of Shanzhou and the whole territory of Hetao Prefecture. There is still no movement between Shancheng and Kuozhou.

"It's a step-by-step expansion outward."

"Third uncle, you mean?"

"Don't panic, send some troops to support first, and see what he does next."

I didn't believe that Li Wei would abandon his original plan, so he took such a big step and crossed the Hongji Bridge. Hongji Bridge is good, but it is close to Tuyuhun, and the supply trouble of the Tang Dynasty has just become the disadvantage of the Tang Dynasty and the strength of Tubo.

Besides, if you attack Hongji Bridge and Wansu City, you don't have to transport grain and grass with such fanfare, you can send cavalry to raid the two cities, occupy the two cities, and then slowly transport the grain and grass. Anyway, there is the danger of Chiling, as long as you are careful, the logistics will be very safe. This kind of march is very unruly, if this prince does not understand the art of war, it can still be said, can it be said that he does not understand the art of war?

"So what does he want to do?"

"I don't know, look, I also ordered all the armies to be careful, and then sent a large number of scouts to visit to prevent a surprise attack by the Tang Dynasty." finally reacted, the Tang Dynasty was not interested in the city land for the time being, and it was their soldiers who were interested.

A large number of scouts were sent out. The heroes see the same thing, and both sides are extremely cautious about intelligence work.

……

After the grain was loaded, countless armies rushed to the Jishi Army.

Military action, this road will be ***, all pedestrians and merchants are not allowed to pass.

August was approaching, the sky was approaching, and the army was roaring and whistling by, bringing up countless dust.

A herdsman boldly asked, "May I ask the military master, who passed by just now, General Li Jin's baggage?" ”

"It's our general."

"What a mighty general."

"That's it," the soldier asked, puffing out his chest proudly.

"The Celestial Empire has sent so many troops to Douhe City (that is, the Jishi Army Station), is there going to be a war again?"

"Yes, we are ready to recover Wansu City and Hongji Town." The soldier replied casually, and then caught himself in the middle of the army, far away from the herdsman.

……

When she received the information, she was saddened. Could it be that you really want to attack Wansu City? It is not a problem for the Tang Dynasty army to capture Wansu City, even if it is not a problem to capture Hongji Bridge. However, behind the two cities is the hinterland of Tuyuhun, which can call up countless armies to support at any time.

There's no reason for that.

Besides, although *** news, there is no reason why I would not know about such a big march. Even if he was defeated, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty would not despise himself so much.

……

Shancheng was once again renewed, not only by the people themselves, but also by Li Wei who sent a large number of soldiers to repair their houses. Some appropriate compensation was also given, and the people were happy, and there were no complaints. Although there were still some people who were insatiable, they did not dare to think about it when they saw the tragedy of the war that night.

As a result, Shancheng is as vibrant as ever.

It was also somewhat affected, Shicheng Mountain Road and Huangbei Road were stationed with large armies, this time it was different, the battalion blocked the entire road, although the military discipline was very strict, and there was no embarrassment for the past merchants, but there were many fewer Hu people who came and went to do business than before the war.

An incident happened in Shancheng today, and the prisoners who had been sent to various places to repair castles were sent back to Shancheng for concentration again. There were still a few people who did not come, Tibetan soldiers, and some generals. Prevent the imperial court from having fun and let Qinghai send prisoners of war. If not, these people will end up even worse.

The captives did not know what was going to happen. These days finally let them understand the fate of the Tang Dynasty prisoners of war, there are many Han people in Tuyuhun and Tubo, it turns out that Emperor Yang of Sui ran Qinghai, and sent a group of criminals to cultivate land here. But they didn't do a good job, and they were all assimilated by Tuyuhun and the Tubo people in turn. There were also more people who fled the Central Plains during the Sui and Tang dynasties, some fled to Nanzhao, some fled to the Turks, and some fled to Tuyuhun.

This group of people is not of high status in various countries, but they are not very reclusive. The main thing is that the Tang Dynasty surrendered prisoners after the defeat of Dafeichuan, and their fate was the most miserable.

But these prisoners of war did not repair the city for a long time, and the Tang army was more vicious to them than they were to the Tang prisoners of war. Although they were cruel to the Tang prisoners, they still wanted to be a trickle of water, and they didn't really force them to a dead end. However, the Tang Dynasty army clearly wanted to force them to their death.

The meal is to let them eat five or six minutes full, but one person is doing three people and four people, and if they complain a little, the leather whip comes over and is pumped to death. Without horses and weapons, they didn't even have the courage to resist.

In a short time, it has been heard that dozens of people have died from work-related injuries, and two others committed suicide by jumping off a cliff. Relatives in my heart!

He brought them back to Shancheng, not knowing what was going to happen, and many of the soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't even walk. I couldn't walk, and the leather whip came back to draw it. I had to cry as I walked. When I came to Shancheng, I saw a group of people, three people in the middle, all of whom knew each other, one was the prince of the Tang Dynasty, but there were two others.

One by one, they all lay down and cried loudly: "Great Khan, save us." ”

Nuo Haobo also had tears in his eyes, he didn't realize it, but now he saw these people of his homeland, and he was very sad. After a pause, he said: "You are shouting for help now, how did you do it to Ben Khan in the first place?" ”

One by one, they cried and confessed their mistakes.

"It doesn't matter, I ask you, what kind of life did you live at the beginning, and what kind of life do you live now?"

The generals are all ordinary people. Tuyuhun's original policy was that taxes were very light, and there were basically no taxes for the common people, and the state levied some taxes on the rich and merchants when needed, and just coped with the past. This result is due to many factors. First, there is a special military system, and the state does not have to bear much military spending. The second is that there is a city, which is slightly better than the Tibetan people, and there are many people who settle down, but in general, these large and small cities are mainly commercial. Most of the people would rather live in tents than in the city. Control is to issue orders to the chiefs of the tribes, and the chiefs in turn issue them to the people, and the administrative structure is simple and the cost is not high. There was not even a decent capital, and there was a tooth tent, but this tooth tent was mobile, and this summer it was in the city of Fu Qi, and in the autumn it was in the city of Mantou. Coupled with the development of commerce, the Tuyuhun people used to live a good life.

Since the invasion of the Tibetans, it has been different, and the Tibetans have been poor in military affairs, and they are willing to spend on military expenses. Like the armor of Tibet, the armor of the Tang Dynasty can only be compared with a very small number of armors such as light armor. Of course, the military power of Tibet was very strong. But the people are living very hard. Even Tubo's own people can't bear it, let alone Tuyuhun.

At this point, all the Tuyuhun prisoners were even more ashamed.

"This is the life you want?"

"No, we don't want to betray the Tang, but the chiefs forced us to rebel against the Tang," said one of the prisoners boldly.

Qi Ming walked over with a whip and shouted: "So you betrayed your Great Khan, and you want to wash Shancheng in blood?" ”

The prisoner was in pain, snorted, and didn't dare to say anything more. That night, it was Su Hegui's order, but they were really moved, and they all shouted this sentence. Qi Bi was obviously angry, and continued to whip with the whip, Nuo Hao grabbed the whip, and said: "General Qi Bi, they are all my people, and the people have made mistakes, if you are angry, smoke me." ”

Said bending down to intercede.

Nuo Haobo lost Tuyuhun, not because he was cruel to the people, but because the two countries wrestled with each other, and the Tubo people won a game before they lost, otherwise there would not be so many people who left their homeland with him, first moved to the southern foot of Qilian Mountain, then to Shanzhou, and finally to Lingzhou. In fact, long after, there were still many Tuyuhun people who fled to the territory of the Tang Dynasty one after another, despite the strict guards of Tubo. Even within Tuyuhun, there are still many Tuyuhun people who do not agree with the Mohe Khan supported by the Tubo people, and regard Lingzhou's Nuohao Bowl as the real Khan of Tuyuhun.

Not only did the prisoners of war kneel, but there were also a few merchants on the street who heard of the arrival of the Great Khan, stopped and stopped, and fell to the ground, crying out in mourning.

One by one, he lifted them up and said, "It is my fault that has caused you to suffer." ”

Li Wei coughed, and the sensationalism was almost incited, the business was important, and he had to be reminded.

Only then did Nuo Haobo say: "I have already pleaded with His Royal Highness the Tang Prince, and he allowed you to go to Lingzhou with Ben Khan, are you willing?" ”

"Yes!" There are still family members, but I can't take care of it now, let's live first. Li Wei then read an edict in public, which said that the Tang Dynasty continued to appoint Nuo Haobo as the Great Khan of Tuyuhun, and at the same time served as the Generalissimo of Qinghai Province, and together with the Tang Dynasty army, the Tubo people were expelled, and the Tuyuhun people were peaceful.

Of course, this edict is false, but Li Wei has already written a letter to Li Zhi to make it clear that he is in a hurry to follow power, and the imperial court originally had the intention of supporting Nuo Haobo to return to Tuyuhun, so the generalissimo can't really care about it.

This appointment has a lot to offer.

It's not just about righteousness.

After announcing the edict, Su and Gui were escorted, the head was cut off, the prisoners of war were escorted to Lingzhou, and the army set off and went straight to Shicheng Mountain.
