Shenwu General Feng Tang, on the one hand, reciprocated by asking the emperor to Feng Jia Lian to be his deputy general and jointly set out to conquer Tibet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the other hand, Feng Tang is also very optimistic about the power of the bomb in the hands of Jia Lian, this time the army into Tibet is fighting in the enemy area, although the Tubo army has been greatly injured, but the difficulties it will face are also unpredictable, so with the help of Jia Lian's bomb, it will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort!

Now I see other generals competing for merit, although these generals have rich combat experience, but these people's official positions are similar to their own, they really become their own lieutenants, although they have the Longquan Sword given by the emperor, they may not be able to do what they say.

On the contrary, Jia Lian has always maintained enough respect for himself since he came to Qingtang City, although he is a Qincha, and he does not interfere in the military indiscriminately.

Such a good deputy is not comparable to other arrogant generals.

So the situation became, the party Jia Lian was there without saying a word, while the other generals were scrambling to compete for the position of vice general of the west.

As for Feng Tang, the main general of Zhengxi, he always insisted on wanting Jia Lian to be his deputy, and he did not hesitate to fight with his colleagues for this matter.

And the emperor, who was able to make the final decision, naturally had the ears and eyes to know Jia Lian's every move after coming to Qingtang City, and as the Son of Heaven, he had to be secretly surprised by the power of the bomb.

Fortunately, Jia Lian has always been firm and unusually loyal to the emperor, and the gunpowder workshop in Kyoto is also controlled by the emperor's henchman Gao Gonggong, which made the emperor let go of his suspicion of Jia Lian.

When the emperor was the prince, he had also followed the emperor many times to fight, so he naturally knew how much chance of victory in the war could be increased with bombs, and countless soldiers could be sacrificed.

Looking at the arguing generals in front of him, he only heard the emperor say: "Jia Lian, all the generals think that you are not old enough and experienced, but this attack on Tibet was also the first to be proposed by you, so you yourself come to tell me, do you think you may lead the troops to fight for me?" ”

Jia Lian replied: "Although the minister is not familiar with military affairs, but a loyal and patriotic heart is no worse than anyone else, I believe that there is General Feng Lao in charge of the whole army, and the minister only checks and fills in the gaps on the side, and has the cooperation experience with General Feng Lao to stick to Qingtang City for more than a month, and will definitely be able to assist General Feng Lao to sweep Tubo for the emperor!" ”

The emperor nodded when he heard this, and then said: "So I have decided to order Jia Lian to be the deputy general of this expedition to the west, and I will wait for the good news of the two Aiqing in Qingtang City!" ”

After the final decision, the troops were divided immediately.

Feng Tang and Jia Lian took 50,000 cavalry and 30,000 infantry, a total of 80,000 soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty to conquer Tibet.

The emperor took the remaining 20,000 people back to Qingtang City to sit down.

Let's say that after Jia Lian followed the Shenwu general Feng Tang to lead an army of 80,000 into the territory of Tubo, he followed the footprints left by the Tubo rout, and soon caught dozens of Tubo soldiers who had fallen behind.

After some torture and the killing of several diehards, the remaining Tibetan soldiers soon became ready-made guides for the Celestial Empire army.

Jia Lian handed over these surrendered Tubo soldiers to the guards of the Jinyi Army under his command for questioning, so that if someone gave directions indiscriminately, they would inevitably not be able to unify their voices, which greatly reduced the possibility of the surrendered Tubo soldiers lying.

Later that night, the army finally came to the outside of an earthen city in Tibet.

Jia Lian sat on the horse and looked at this earthen city with a mixture of earthen houses and tents from a distance, the low earthen walls of this earthen city were simply insignificant compared to Qingtang City.

It is no wonder that the Tibetan army did not defend the Celestial Empire, for many years, only the Tibetan army attacked the border of the Celestial Empire, and few Celestial Empire troops attacked the Tibetan Empire.

In addition, Tibet is also a nomadic people, except for a few large cities, the herdsmen live in tents, live in grass, herd cattle and horses.

At this time, the Tubo people in Tucheng also discovered the black and oppressive Celestial Empire army in the distance, and everyone in Tucheng suddenly panicked.

There were soldiers gathering, but more often than not, the screams of women and the cries of small children.

"Attack~!"

With Feng Tang's order, the 80,000-strong army suddenly rushed to Tucheng.

After 50,000 iron horsemen roared past, all those who dared to take up arms and resist were slaughtered.

The other Tibetans in Tucheng all knelt in fright and were captured by the 30,000 infantry who came later.

A battle with a huge disparity in power, which soon ended.

Feng Tang looked at the more than 1,000 Tubo captives kneeling on the ground, Zou frowned, most of these people were women, children and children, and there were very few young men, thinking that they were all killed in the battle just now.

"These Tubo people, how do you think Lord Jia should deal with them?" Feng Tang asked Jia Lian on the side.

At this time, Jia Lian seemed to be used to seeing dead people, only to see him carelessly let the horse sit down and walk slowly, and then replied coldly: "Three-light policy!" ”

"What is the three-light policy?" Feng Tang asked again.

Jia Lian replied: "Grab it!" Kill them all! Burn it out! ”

Listening to Jia Lian's cold answer, even though Feng Tang had fought countless battles, he couldn't help but gasp, and said: "Will this hurt Tianhe, this war is just a matter for our soldiers, so why abuse the people?" ”

At this time, Jia Lianle stopped sitting down on the horse, turned his head to look at Feng Tang on the spot, and then said, "If there is another way, how can I be willing to do this!" First: This time, we rushed to Tubo and brought not much military rations, so we can only feed the war with war and supply on the spot, so if we don't rob the enemy, we will starve ourselves to death! Second: Our 80,000 soldiers set out to conquer Tibet, and the soldiers and civilians of Tubo are more than a million, and if we don't kill all the adult men we meet who have the ability to resist, our army will inevitably fall into a heavy encirclement and be annihilated in the end! Third: If we do not burn down the city camps of the Tubo people, our army's back road will not be guaranteed, and it will definitely be defeated in the end! As the chief and deputy leaders of the Celestial Empire's soldiers, we can only be responsible for the 80,000 soldiers under our command! Responsible to the emperor! Jia Lian said this, did General Feng think so? ”

Feng Tang listened to Jia Lian's rhetorical question quietly, and finally had to admit that what Jia Lian said was true, and after struggling in his heart for a while, Feng Tang finally made up his mind.

I saw him ride his horse to the general guarding the captives, and then ordered: "Except for the old and the young, women and children, all the men above the wheels will be put to death!" We're going to be stationed in this city tonight, and we're going to bring the food from the city tomorrow before the army goes out, and we're going to burn the city!" ”

Receiving orders, the soldiers quickly and meticulously carried them out.

All the captured Tibetans were executed as soon as they overtook the wheels of the carriage, leaving the frightened old and young women and children to be kept in a tent.

Early the next morning, after breakfast and all the grain and horses were looted, the army set fire to the earthen city.

After the 80,000 troops left, only Yi 1,200 old and young women and children were left to sit helplessly outside the city and weep.

Without houses, tents, and food, I don't know how long these people will live.

But this is war, either you die or I live!
