Chapter 112: Race to be the first
The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty drove his own expedition, and Jia Lian made a strange move, defeated the 300,000 Tibetan army, and led the generals and 100,000 soldiers to chase the Tibetan army to the border between the two countries. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
By this time, only 20,000 or 30,000 people had fled back to their borders! In this war, the vitality of Tubo was greatly damaged, and there was no power to advance eastward within twenty or thirty years!
The emperor stood in the small village on the border and pointed at the country with a smile, and was about to return to the court, but at this time, Jia Lian, the envoy of Xiping Xuanfu, stepped forward to ask for a performance, and wanted to send troops to kill in the territory of Tubo, and never suffer in the future!
As soon as Jia Lian's words came out, they immediately caused controversy among the generals.
Some radicals deeply agreed, and even threatened to exterminate Tibet and expand its territory!
Some people also said that this battle has ended, and it is already an unjust war to attack Tibet again, so it is only necessary to send another envoy into Tibet, and the king of Tubo will inevitably bow down to his vassals.
The Emperor watched as the generals below argued, always smiling and not saying a word.
And since Jia Lian first made a proposal to attack Tibet, he didn't even fight for his proposal, and just stood quietly.
Even the generals who had different opinions questioned him by name, and Jia Lian also did not make a single excuse.
Among the generals, the silent one is also the Shenwu General Feng Tang, this old general has made great contributions in this battle, and he is also the general guarding the northwest border pass, he originally had the most right to speak at the moment, but occasionally glanced at Jia Lian and the emperor, and more often stood like a sculpture.
After the generals also felt the difference in the atmosphere, they slowly stopped arguing, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
After the generals were quiet, they only listened to the emperor and said: "The generals have expressed their opinions, and now that I have listened to them, why don't we listen to Jia Lian explain in detail the reason for the attack on Tibet." ”
So everyone's eyes were all focused on Jia Lian's body, and Jia Lian said unhurriedly at this time: "Tubo is a barbaric place, the people are fierce, and an adult man with a knife and gun is a qualified soldier; Although we have hit Tibet hard this time, as long as they have recuperated for 20 years, I believe that they will soon return to their current prosperity, and then there will be no peace at our border; Therefore, to eliminate the evil and conquer Tibet once and for all, we can ensure that the northwest of our Heavenly Empire will never have to worry about it, this is one of them.
Second, due to the geographical location and climate of Tibet, although there is no shortage of heroic soldiers in the Celestial Empire, if you want to conquer Tibet on weekdays, you must pay a hundredfold price, which is absolutely undesirable; Now that we are taking advantage of the defeat of Tibet, 300,000 living forces have been killed and wounded, and it is the best time for us to conquer Tibet! I believe that as long as our Celestial Dynasty army marches, it will be like a plough and sweep the caves, and Tubo will be powerless to stop it.
Third, I think that only the victor can determine whether the war is just or not! If it is just for Tubo to bow down verbally, isn't this kind of historical lesson enough? Here I dare to conclude that as long as Tibet can recover, he will inevitably make a comeback one day! There are countless examples of this, so I don't think I need to give them one by one.
Fourth, the conquest of Tibet can deter other barbarian vassal states that are ready to move! These jackals, tigers and leopards, who don't envy the vast land of my Heavenly Empire, can only kill chickens and make an example of monkeys.
Fifth, opening up territory and expanding territory for the emperor is the greatest honor of our soldiers, and it is also the best embodiment of self-worth! Those who are cowardly and dare not speak of war are not worthy of the army! The above five points are all the reasons why Jia Lian asked to march into the army, and asked the emperor to cut it. ”
Jia Lian said a big push in one breath, and then retreated with his fists clenched.
The emperor listened carefully to Jia Lian's reasons and was most interested in the final expansion of the territory.
What is the greatest success of an emperor, that is, to be able to expand the territory of his empire during his reign!
If you just want the people to live and work in peace and contentment, then at most you can only be regarded as an emperor who keeps it.
And at this time, the emperor was still alive, and his prestige was incomparable, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty only knew the emperor, but did not know the emperor, and the emperor needed a great effort to enhance the prestige of his emperor!
But war is child's play, so even the emperor has to be cautious and cautious.
So I heard the emperor ask again: "All the generals have listened to Jia Lian's detailed suggestions, let's talk about it." ”
At this time, Feng Tang, the Shenwu general who was originally silent, preemptively said this time: "The minister seconded Lord Jia's proposal and was willing to lead troops for the emperor to completely conquer Tubo and rescue the people of Tubo from dire straits." ”
Shenwu General Feng Tang had already made great contributions in this war, and if he was allowed to lead his troops to exterminate Tubo, how could the generals present be willing to be inferior.
In addition, Jia Lian also said before: Those who are cowardly and dare not speak up are not worthy of being an army!
As a result, the generals, who were still a little worried, also asked for war at this time.
Even the generals who were opposed at the beginning have now immediately become radical vanguards.
The emperor originally wanted to win the greedy merit of opening up the territory and expanding the territory, but now that he saw that the military heart was available, he was overjoyed at the moment, and said: "The king of Tubo is cruel and unreasonable, and has repeatedly violated the borders of my Celestial Empire, causing the lives of the people on my border to be miserable!" ”
Then I saw the emperor pull out his sword and shouted: "Where is the Shenwu General Feng Tang!" ”
Feng Tang immediately knelt on one knee and said, "The last general." ”
"I ordered you to be the general of the expedition to the west, to lead the army, and to pacify Tibet for me, are you willing?" The emperor asked angrily.
Feng Tang immediately replied in the envious eyes of the generals: "The last general is willing to go to the soup for the emperor!" This time, we must step on Tubo and raise the head of the king of Tubo to repay the emperor's trust! ”
The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this: "The general of Zhengxi is loyal and courageous, and I will wait for the general's good news in Qingtang City!" Now I will give the general my Longquan sword, and the general can use it to cut first and then play cheaply when he goes out this time. ”
After finishing speaking, the emperor really took out his personal sword, and then handed it to Feng Tang.
Feng Tang knelt down excitedly, and the emperor personally helped him up again.
With the Longquan Sword given by the emperor, it is equivalent to having the arbitrary power to cut first and then act cheaply, which is of great benefit to Feng Tang in charge of the whole army.
Seeing Feng Tang winning this honor, the generals secretly hated themselves for being sluggish, and they didn't take the lead to fight for the right to lead the troops! Although this general is only a temporary official position, with Feng Tang's repeated achievements, the day of triumph will not be the time when Feng Tang will be crowned a marquis immediately.
At this time, I only heard Feng Tang say: "Xuanfu makes Lord Jia witty and resolute, and has his own unique views on the battle array, so the last general invites the emperor, and invites Lord Jia to be the deputy general of the last general, and the emperor will break Tubo together!" ”
After Feng Tang finished speaking, before the emperor could express his position, a general interjected: "The emperor can't!" Although Lord Jia has extraordinary knowledge, after all, he is too young and has never experienced military affairs, so this war is child's play, so the last general invited himself to be the deputy general of General Feng, and set foot in Tibet with General Feng to share the emperor's worries. ”
