1205. Chapter 1205: Early Winter
In the blink of an eye, it was already early winter, and Shuzhong was slowly getting colder. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Yizhou Bazaar has gradually stepped into the right track, and the construction of a road to Shuzhong has also been put on the agenda.
Tang Zhou was still very busy at Jianmen Pass.
Shuzhong has just decided, there are all kinds of things, and some officials can't handle it, so they have to come to Tang Zhou for advice.
For example, the bad habits in that place are hard to change, the population ratio in that place is unbalanced, and so on.
And the most important thing is that the harsh winter is coming, Tang Zhou must ensure that the people of Shuzhong can survive this winter safely, those who have no food must distribute food to them, and those who have no place to live must arrange accommodation for them.
After the chaos, many people were homeless, or there was a lack of labor at home, so the survival of these people was very problematic, so Tang Zhou had to ensure their survival.
And to solve these problems, it seems easy, but in fact there are many difficulties.
In terms of food, the imperial court can transport it, and it doesn't waste much time, but housing becomes a problem, and some people have a house, just need to send them some quilts.
But some people don't even have a place to live, or the place where they live is already in tatters, so Tang Zhou needs to send someone to arrange a place for them to live, and it is impossible for these people to live in other people's homes, so they can only let the imperial court build some places similar to shelters.
This kind of place exists in other state capitals in the Tang Dynasty, and Shuzhong originally had it, but after a rebellion, it was almost destroyed, so Tang Zhou needed to arrange people to build it again.
This is time-consuming, and Tang Zhou is worried that these houses will not be built well before the cold comes.
And just when Tang Zhou was busy with these things, Tubo's side became restless again.
Tubo and Datang have been in a stalemate for a long time, but there is no Tubo, now that winter is coming, the weather in the place where Tubo is located is abnormally cold, and at this time, they are also beginning to be a little short of food and clothing.
Therefore, in order to be able to survive the harsh winter, they started to use the small trick that nomads used to play before, robbing.
As long as there is an opportunity, they will rob, rob the merchants on the Silk Road, rob the people on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and even grab Shu.
Many people in Shu have been bullied by the Tibetan cavalry, and there are many casualties.
After these situations came, Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, he had long wanted to teach Tubo a lesson and end the confrontation between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo as soon as possible, but he didn't have time, but now it's good, they even started to do it against the people of Shudi, how can this work?
If you don't teach them a lesson, they don't know what it means to be high and thick.
With this thought, Tang Zhou immediately led 3,000 troops and went straight to the border.
When I came to the border, it snowed here in Shu and Tubo, the first snow of the year.
The snow is heavy and blowing, making people feel uncomfortably tight all over their bodies, and they want to move their muscles and bones.
And in the snowy weather, it is a good time for Tubo to carry out robbery.
---------------------
Feng County is a small county town, very close to Tibet, and they have been robbed three times by Tibet in recent times.
For Tibet, they are a big wrongdoer.
The county magistrate of Fengxian County is called Zhao De, and he is also a person with backbone, in the face of the robbery of Tubo, he led people to resist several times, but how many troops can be used in a small county?
So in the end, he was either insulted by the Tibetans or beaten by the Tibetans.
It was snowing on this day, and Zhao De was writing hard to ask the court for help in the county government, when suddenly a government official hurriedly ran over: "My lord, the Tubo army is here again." ”
Hearing that the Tibetan army was coming again, Zhao De's heart tightened and asked, "How many people?" ”
"About 500 people."
More than 500 people is not much, but for such a small county as Feng County, it is a very large number.
Zhao De walked around the house, and the official asked, "My lord, what should I do, why don't I send them something and send them away." ”
Hearing this, Zhao De frowned, his eyes widened, and said, "What are you talking about?" Give them something, and what will the people eat and wear? Moreover, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, even if I die, I have to protect the people of Fengxian County, how can I surrender without backbone? ”
When he said this, Zhao De's heart was dripping blood.
He also knew that the method that the official said was the best way, at least to avoid some killings, and if they resisted, there would definitely be casualties, in addition to the dead and wounded, the final result was still to be robbed by Tibet.
The size of the loss can be easily determined, but in his heart, he feels that the man of the Tang Dynasty cannot be so spineless, even if there are casualties, even if he is trampled on, he must not lick his face to give things to others.
After saying this, the official did not speak again, although in his heart, he did not agree with Zhao De very much.
"My lord, what now?"
Zhao De paused suddenly, and then said: "Take all the officials and follow me to the city gate to fight the enemy." ”
"Whoa."
The snow was falling, Zhao De came to the city tower with more than 20 officials, Feng County is only a very small county seat, all the city towers are not large, it is okay to resist more than 100 people, but if there are more, it will not be easy.
Soon after standing on the tower, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and soon saw five hundred Tibetan cavalry rushing towards him, shouting as they ran, and seemed to be very excited.
For these Tibetan soldiers to kill, kill and rob, it is a thing that can make people feel excited.
The crazy shouts came, which made people feel a chill in their hearts, Zhao De frowned, and shouted: "Archers prepare." ”
At the sound of the order, on the top of the tower, more than a dozen officials immediately set up bows and arrows, while the other officials prepared stones and rolling logs.
That's the only thing they can do.
The Tibetan cavalry was getting closer and closer, and just as they were about to approach the city gate, Zhao De waved his hand and gave an order: "Launch!" ”
At the sound of an order, sharp arrows flew, and several Tibetan cavalry fell in response, and then the angry roar of the Tibetan cavalry was heard.
Tubo didn't expect that the small county town that had been taught three times by them would dare to resist and kill their people, it was impossible not to be angry.
A Tibetan leader shouted: "Kill, today I will slaughter the city." ”
In Tubo's opinion, since he has failed to teach them obediently after three lessons, then he will be ruthless, slaughter the city, and after slaughtering the city, he wants to see if these people are still smart.
If a person can't learn to be smart, he has to pay the price, the price of blood.
The cold wind was heavy, and the Tubo cavalry suddenly attacked the city frantically, Zhao De's heart tightened, knowing that Fengxian might not be spared today, but even so, he still did not have the slightest intention of compromise.
"Kill, this official wants to live and die with Feng County."
The sharp arrows came again, and the stones and rolling logs also fell, but the Tubo cavalry attacked even more frantically, and the small Fengxian city gate was about to be attacked by the Tubo cavalry.
