Chapter 25 The Remnants of the Tang Dynasty

readx;

The addition of Tubo is a variable, which makes the strength of Western Xia increase, and everyone should be angry, but Wu Ji is not only not angry, but very happy. Looking at his appearance, www.biquge.info looked at him, it was like calling Huazi to pick up an ingot, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, this is too abnormal, if this is not Wu Ji, but if someone else said so, the generals would definitely scold him and call him an idiot!

This is Wu Ji laughing, no one dares to underestimate it, and no one dares to say that Wu Ji is crazy, so he has to ask for advice carefully.

"What's not to understand about this? Just think about it! Wu Ji's joy was really uncontrollable, he stood up and paced, his steps were brisk, as if he was flying. He stopped in front of the plant, looked at the planter, and said with a smile: "General plant, tell me, why am I so happy?" ”

"This ......," the kind of man twisted his eyebrows, thinking. Suddenly, his hands smashed together, stood up violently, followed in Wu Ji's footsteps, and laughed: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Sure enough, it's a brilliant plan! ”

"Brilliant plan! Coup! Brilliant plan! At the same time as Chong Ge stood up, Yao Gu and Li Xian also stood up, praising loudly, with a happy face, where can they close their mouths.

Seeing the joy of the four in their eyes, the generals don't know why, you look at me, I look at you, with a puzzled face.

"Dashuai, what kind of tricks are you fighting, tell us quickly!" The most anxious person is Yao Pingzhong, who is so sharp, it is extremely difficult for him to guess through.

"Yes!" The generals echoed in unison.

Tong Guan couldn't stop rolling his eyes, the more he turned, the brighter he became, and he couldn't stop nodding his head, as if he had realized.

"In the final analysis, the alliance between Tubo and Western Xia will make it easier for us to solve Tubo in one fell swoop! In this battle, we will kill two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone! Wu Ji explained to them with a smile, took a long breath, and said: "You think, the place where Tubo is located is high and densely forested, the terrain is complex, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the previous dynasty is so strong, it is also helpless to take Tubo." A stone pass blocked the pace of the army of the previous dynasty, and in order to attack the stone pass, the previous dynasty suffered heavy casualties! ”

"Jishi Pass? I know that Ge Shuhan killed and injured tens of thousands of people in order to defeat Jishi Pass, and he succeeded in a sneak attack at the last moment, so he took Jishi Pass in one fell swoop. Yao Pingzhong's loud voice was loud, he rarely knew one thing, and he must show it well: "After the Jishi Pass was taken, Tubo broke his courage and had to obey the previous dynasty." Oh, in order to fight the stone pass, Tang Xuanzong also called that and that...... Wang Zhongji was imprisoned. ”

Jishi Pass is a dangerous pass that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo competed for, covering a small area, but it is extremely dangerous. The Tubo army guarding here was only a few hundred people, and the Tang Dynasty dispatched tens of thousands of troops to attack in turn, but they couldn't be defeated, and the Tang army suffered heavy casualties. In the end, Ge Shuhan had to give up and was ready to retreat, but his subordinates were unwilling and asked for another sneak attack, but they succeeded, and then they laid the stone pass. As soon as Jishi Pass was taken, the Tang army could take advantage of the situation and invade the area of Qinghai Lake.

This battle was one of the most famous battles in the Tang Dynasty and the Tibetan War.

"What is this and that, it is Wang Zhonghe. Tell you to read, you are always absent-minded. Yao Gu's face sank and he scolded, Yao Pingzhong shrank his head, and he didn't dare to open his mouth anymore.

Yao Gu continued: "Wang Zhongji is the adopted son of Tang Xuanzong, after his father Wang Haibin was killed in battle, Tang Xuanzong adopted him, trusted him very much, and once handed over half of the army of the previous dynasty to him. Tang Xuanzong knew that if he took Jishi Pass, he could force Tubo to submit and ask Wang Zhonghei to attack Jishi. Wang Zhongsi was a good general, he knew that it would be difficult to lay down stones, and he did not obey the order, which angered Tang Xuanzong and sent him to prison. ”

"Yes!" Chong Ge took over and said: "Although the previous dynasty laid the stone pass, it was a fluke, a fluke!" ”

"That's right!" Wu Ji agreed loudly, nodded heavily, and said, "It was a fluke that the previous dynasty laid down the stone pass!" Although we are not what we used to be, we are already very strong, but will we have this luck again? No one can say. Fighting against Tibet in the high mountains and dense forests of Tibet, we will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and I don't want to do this kind of loss-making business. I've been thinking about how to get Tibet out of the mountains and forests and lure it to the Hexi Corridor. It's good now, as soon as we fight the Western Xia, they will be annihilated, and they will join forces and make the Great Song Dynasty the enemy. Well, I've been thinking about this good thing all my dreams, can I not rejoice? ”

The terrain of Tibet is too dangerous, although the stone pass has been abandoned, and there is another road to enter the area of Qinghai Lake. However, fighting against Tubo in the high mountains and dense forests of Tibet, even if the Song army can fight again, it will inevitably pay a high price.

Not to mention, the bigger difficulty lies in the logistics. If there is a big fight in the hinterland of Tibet, this logistical difficulty will be a great difficulty and it will be difficult to solve.

How much manpower does it take to transport grain from the mainland, but the roads in Tibet are rugged and difficult to walk?

Raise money on the spot, Tubo is only poorer than Western Xia, where to raise grain?

Not to mention in the Song Dynasty, just look at the current Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, whose economic gap is much more backward than that of the mainland, you can know how difficult it is to raise grain in Tibet.

It is unwise to send a large army to fight deep into the hinterland of Tibet.

If you lure the Tibetans out and lure them to the Hexi Corridor to fight, all difficulties will no longer exist. Once the Song army was victorious, the Tibetans would lose their hearts and give in. Moreover, without the army and the vitality of the army, is it not up to Tibet to pass on the throne?

"Oh!"

The generals suddenly realized, nodded their heads, and agreed.

"How could I never have thought of it?" Zhou Wei slapped his forehead heavily and complained to himself.

"If you think of it, you won't be General Zhou, you will be called Marshal Zhou!" Huangfu Song teased, making everyone laugh.

Chong Yu frowned, his face was solemn, and he said: "Dong Yu thinks he has a plan, but he doesn't know that he has fulfilled us. If we have fought this battle, we will destroy both countries in one war. However, the accession of Tibet has changed the situation, can we win? ”

This is the crux of the matter, and the generals stared at Wu Ji with an urgent look on their faces, waiting for him to give a conclusion.

"Hmm!" Wu Ji bowed his head slightly and said, "I've thought about this. The soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and I dare not say that I will win, and I still have a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning! ”

The battlefield is dangerous, there are too many variables, no one dares to say that they will win, and there is a chance of winning seven or eight percent, which is a very high winning rate.

"Our combat power is very strong, I dare not say that we have surpassed the previous dynasty, at least comparable to the previous dynasty." Wu Ji began to analyze: "Looking at the great war between the previous dynasty and the alien race, the best is to win more with less. Li Jing extinguished Tuguhun and won more with less; Pei Xingjian's battle of Montenegro defeated hundreds of thousands of Turks after 100,000 people; Su Dingfang destroyed the Western Turks, fought a battle of the river, and broke more than 100,000 people of the Western Turks with more than 10,000 people. We have concentrated 250,000 troops in the land west of the river, although there is still a gap between the combat power of the western soldiers and the northern army, after all, the western soldiers are the elite of the world, and they are not far behind. There is still some time for us to fight with the Western Xia, which is enough to retrain the Western soldiers and improve their combat effectiveness. Our army of 250,000 will reach 670,000 troops of Western Xia and Tubo! ”

On the battlefield, it is the coordinated operation of all arms of the army, and the more troops there are, the combat power they exert will increase exponentially, and the classic example of the Tang Dynasty is the best illustration.

Later historians estimated that in the Han and Tang dynasties, the combat power of one Chinese soldier was equivalent to the combat power of twenty Hu soldiers, and Wu Ji was very conservative.

These 250,000 troops, if they were all northern armies like the Conversion Army, there would be no suspense in this battle, and the Song Army would win. The problem is that there are 200,000 Western soldiers. Although the Western Soldiers are known as the elite of the world, they were the pillars of the Song Dynasty before the rise of the Song Army in the north, supporting the wars of the Song Dynasty. However, compared with the Song army in the north, there is a big gap between their equipment, training, tactics, and tactics, which drags the Song army back.

Even so, it is not a problem for 250,000 Song troops to top 670,000 Hu soldiers.

"Huh!" The generals couldn't help but rejoice.

"Since Tubo wants to join forces, we will give him time and let Tubo transfer all the troops that can be transferred." Wu Ji pondered: "I have decided, this decisive battle will be pushed back again, and enough time must be given to Dong Yu." Of course, this time can't make him feel better. The order was sent to Chong Jianzhong and Yao Youzhong, asking them to find the right opportunity to be ruthless to Tubo, which made Dong Yu unstoppable! ”

"Huh!" He let out a burst of laughter and said: "In this way, Dong Yu will definitely be angry and unstoppable, and spare no effort to mobilize the army, and everything that can be transferred will be transferred." After this battle, not only the land west of the river was stable, but also Tibet. ”

"I want to give Chong Jianzhong and Yao Youzhong a wake-up call, and ask them to grasp the proportions, not only to make Dong Yu painful, but also not to scare him out and shrink into the mountains and dense forests and not dare to come out." Wu Ji raised his eyebrows and said loudly.

xxxxxx Western Regions, Broken Leaf River Valley, a big war is underway.

The attack was by the Uighur army, and the defending side was a Han Chinese army dressed in black uniforms and carrying the "Tang" banner.

This Han army is equipped with Mingguang armor, horizontal knives, and Mo knives, all of them are resolute, although they are at a disadvantage, they are unyielding to the death.

"Kill all the Tang people!" The Uighur army erupted in an earth-shattering roar, riding horses and brandishing scimitars, charging at the Han army, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, shaking the earth and trembling.

"Long live Datang!"

The Han Chinese army did not show weakness at all, and erupted into an earth-shattering roar, brandishing their weapons, and engaged in a great battle with the Uighur army.

The horizontal knife is fierce, fierce and invincible; The Mo knife rose and fell, and the Uighurs chopped it into minced meat. Their fighting style is extremely fierce, but it is the authentic Tang army's tactics, Mo knife to open the way, strong crossbow long-range shot, cavalry impact, although the number is not large, but it is not the slightest down.

"These Tang people are really hard to beat!" The Uighur generals who led the army looked at the battlefield and scolded angrily: "When the Tang Dynasty was here, the Tang people pressed us to fight!" Now, the Tang Dynasty is gone, but these Tang people are stones in the pit, smelly and hard, we have hunted them down for two hundred years, but they are endless! Just such a little person, even still fighting! ”

"There aren't many of these Tang people, but we can't swallow them, we can't spit them out, like a stalk in our throats!" Another general was indignant.

"Long live Datang!"

The answer to them was the battle horn of the sky!
