Section 286 Imperial Military Council (2)
Wang Dezhen told about the strategy of the Tibetan army: "...... The people of Tubo are all soldiers, and the first battle of Dafeichuan and the fight against me with 400,000 is a strategy to concentrate superior forces! However, after the war, there were no major measures in Tibet, which shows that in fact, our army also hit Tibet hard! ”
"It is an example of our army to attack Tibet, and to follow the example of the Warring States Qin Dynasty to destroy Chu, Wang Jian gathered 600,000 troops to break through the Chu State, and the few soldiers cannot succeed, so he should be a soldier and win in a battle!"
One of them, Feng Xiaobao played, he had been in Dafeichuan, and the Tubo people were in battle, and he was aware of the reality of the Tubo people, and decided that the Tubo people also suffered a lot of losses in the first battle of Dafeichuan, if the Tang army had 200,000 at that time, I was afraid that the result of the war would be another matter.

"Its plateau is bitter cold, if you don't adapt to it, you will get sick, and the battle of the Red Cliff of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's army went south, and the army has many epidemics, which is not the same thing!"
"It is to adapt the army to the plateau, stationed on the plateau, can live and fight, can send the army to adapt as soon as possible, and requisition more surrounding ethnic groups, they have a congenital geographical advantage, and can be equal to the Tubo people......"
"If the people and horses don't adapt to the plateau climate, it's better not to fight!"
Second, Feng Xiaobao also played.
"The mountains and rivers of Tibet are dangerous, and the cavalry should be used to pay equal attention to the cavalry and the mountain soldiers, the cavalry should break through the mobile troops of the Tubo people, and the mountain infantry should be responsible for breaking through the Tubo Pass, and professional engineers should also be used to open up roads in the lofty mountains and mountains.
The tripartite assistance of cavalry, mountain infantry, and engineering troops, and this is the way for our side to win, and it should be victorious! Wang Dezhen seems to be confident.
Dude, these are all I said, you owe me the patent fee, didn't you pay it?
Feng Xiaobao rolled his eyes while listening!
These valuable experiences of his are the crystallization of his wisdom in later generations, played to the imperial court, and transferred to the Ministry of War.
……
After Wang Dezhen analyzed the enemy's situation and our situation, he began to talk about the combat readiness of our Datang.
In terms of military generals, introduce the past one by one:
Most of the generals in the direction of Goguryeo and Silla were evacuated, and Yoo In-rail was the first to make his debut!
Liu Renliang, who was born in the Wei clan of Bianzhou, once defeated the Japanese and Baekje coalition forces in the Battle of Baijiangkou, and was the left servant of Shangshu and the prince's guest.
He can be civil and martial, military generals can do civil affairs, civil ministers can do military affairs,
In the fifth year of Xianxiang (674), he served as the governor of Jilin Road, conquered the Silla Kingdom in the east, and was knighted as the Duke of Lecheng County for his merits, and now he has returned to the imperial court to wait for the battle against Tibet.
On the Silla side, another main general, Li Jinxing, had already been transferred westward and joined the sequence of the general orders against Tibet, and was transferred to the ambassador of the Jishi Road Economic Strategy.
The two were introduced successively, and immediately people applauded, and Liu Renliang and Li Jinxing played well in Silla, they were handsome, and they were recognized by everyone.
Then there is the left prison guard Zhonglang will order Hu Zhitong to Xing, Feng and other state soldiers to prepare for war;
The king of Luoyang Mu Zhou was the marshal of the Taohe Road march;
The Ministry of Industry, Shangshu Liu Xianli and other twelve directors, this guy is good, the general of the left guard of the school, can be civil and martial, and dare to fight.
In addition to him, there is also a famous general Pei Xingjian, who was taught by Su Dingfang to use strange soldiers in his early years, and once protected the capital of Anxi, but he mainly operated in the Western Regions and did not enter the war in Liangzhou.
Wang Lun, the governor of the state capital, was the marshal of the march of Liangzhou Road;
The general of the left guard, Qi Bi He Li, this is the big man in the army, Taizong has conquered the east and the west, and has made countless meritorious contributions.
Among the armies of Liangzhou Province, Xiao Siye, Hongluqing, who had participated in the conquest of Goguryeo, was also in the army.
There are many stars in the army, and when the young general Feng Xiaobao is introduced, everyone looks at him, and the applause is actually the most enthusiastic!
Don't look at him small, he kills a lot!
is especially capable of killing, and when he kills from childhood to old age, he is only afraid that the number of people he will kill is the highest among the generals.
For such "talents", who does not admire them in their hearts, the key is that he has received the strong support of the emperor!
With the speed of his promotion, no one will look at him pleasing to the eye, and they all want to step on him a few times, but this kid is all over the sky!
As a general of the Central Army, he has been in the local area for a long time and has no one to control him, if it is not for the full trust of the imperial court, how can it be like this!
Then Wenchen led the affairs of the Tunbian and developed 450,000 mu of land, supporting the affairs of the imperial army to conquer Tibet, in other words, everyone was eating his grain!
Everyone is not stupid, many of the military strategies talked about by Wang Dezhen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, have heard Feng Xiaobao talk about it, at a young age, with this knowledge, it is really rare to be able to have a targeted approach to the war in Tubo, and hit the nail on the head!
In the future, it is not surprising that he is likely to become prime minister.
Ladies and gentlemen, well-informed, the latest news is that he dragged the hand of the emperor and the queen's favorite daughter!
dragged her out to play, and the imperial history attacked wildly, but the emperor and the queen of heaven resisted for him.
What does that mean?
This boy has a bright future, and he can't be offended, so be kind to him!
So in the warm applause of everyone, Feng Xiaobao had to raise his hands to greet everyone.
……
Soldiers, strong men from Fafeng, Xing, Long, Jin, Qing, and Yan Prefectures, amounting to 60,000 people, formed a mountain infantry division!
The imperial court is really ruthless, there are 60,000 people,
The mountain infantry division was Feng Xiaobao's statement, and the imperial court recognized his practice, with 12,000 people as a division, a total of five divisions.
This is still the first step, and it is possible to start the second and third steps.
60,000 people were sent to Shanzhou for training, under the control of the marshal of the Taohe River march, and the food was mainly provided by Tonghuang County (purchased at a preferential price) and supported from other places.
Shanzhou, the area around Xining, is more than 2,000 meters above the sea, and their training will be stationed on high mountains, reaching an altitude of 4,000 meters as much as possible, so as to adapt to the climate and altitude sickness of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The military horses of the various states close to Tubo were actively trained, and 10,000 war horses were recruited and transferred to Liangzhou, Ganzhou and other places, all of which were Hexi horses and were provided for the use of military horses in various states.
According to the introduction of the Ministry of War, once dispatched, there were 100,000 cavalry.
……
Grain, only the grain produced in Tonghuang County is 700,000 stone a year (one stone made in the Tang Dynasty is 103 catties), which can give great support to the army.
This area of Tonghuang County produces a large number of livestock, and the meat needed by the army has been relatively guaranteed.
Feng Xiaobao pointed out that the army that only ate rice and noodles could not defeat the Tubo people who ate barley, cattle and sheep, and milk, and that they had to resemble their recipes in order to survive and fight in the alpine region.
"The reason why the minister's army can fight is that the rice and noodles are enough, there is more meat, there is no shortage of cheese, and it is stronger than the Tubo people. This is the basis for my Datang to win! ”
His suggestion was adopted, and the imperial court gritted its teeth and provided the front-line army with a higher food fee, as Feng Xiaobao said, the rice and noodles were enough, and the meat was one to three percent more, but the cheese was not sold well.
The soldiers of various departments are not used to eating cheese, and Feng Xiaobao is addicted to cheese for another reason: he soaked a blonde horse when he studied abroad, and people are used to eating cheese.
His troops, led by him, were adapted to eating cheese up and down, and the benefits of the expedition were many.
……
Weapons, armor and other equipment, from Luoyang to Liangzhou, from Fengzhou (north) to Chenzhou (south), are all the clanging of weapons and decks.
The stove is in full swing, and the red-hot iron is flowing.
The women were concentrating, threading needles and threads, and sewing uniforms.
mountains of weapons and armor; a neatly packed bow and arrow; Bags of military uniforms.
The entire Tang Empire, for this war in Tibet, has made serious preparations from top to bottom.
Take the emperor and queen as an example, they cut the palace by as much as one-third!
The funny thing is that the emperor, he is in poor health and afraid of guilt, but as a result, there are few concubines around him, so he greatly saves an expense and uses it in his army, among which Feng Xiaobao's troops were rewarded to him by the special fee in the palace, and he worked hard to lead the army.
He also lived up to expectations and put a lot of resources on the army.
All just to win the battle in Tibet! (To be continued.) )
