Lu Dongzan's worries are not unreasonable, because in his opinion, the plundering war against Nantianzhu that he commanded for more than a year is simply a useless battle, and it is useless for the country, even with the engineering troops supported by the Fujian State and the siege equipment, there are still at least more than 20,000 Tubo soldiers who died in Nantianzhu in a foreign land, and the strength of Tubo was wasted in vain.

It is true that the Tibetans have been the largest spoils of war since the founding of the Southern Tianzhu city-states, but what is the use?

The 80,000 expeditionary Tianzhu army of Tubo is all pieced together by nobles from various tribes, composed of slave households and nobles, slave households come from conquered tribes and tribal middle and lower nomadic herdsmen, a small number of nobles control the top of the army, the army of Tubo is indeed very brave, brave and good at fighting and well-equipped, most of the knights are equipped with round helmets and armor, Lu Dongzan even boasted that his army combat effectiveness exceeded Li Jie's Guanning iron cavalry.

However, now the considerable spoils of war have brought unprecedented fragmentation to this army, most of the booty has been looted by the upper nobles, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, wealth corrupts the courage of the nobles, and the resentful Tubo commoners are no longer willing to obey the command of these noble men with fat brains, after three expeditions to Nantianzhu, this trend Lu Dongzan has already felt, but he is helpless.

The contradiction between the rich and the poor is more reflected in the Tubo tribes in China, the contradictions between tribes and tribes are becoming more and more acute, and the nobles who have been trapped in the sudden wealth for more than a year are also losing their enterprising spirit, otherwise it will be Tuxiong to fight Zhangxiong, when will it be Zhangxiong's turn to plunder the northern border of Tubo.

It's a pity that all this is not something that Lu Dongzan can stop, the Geer family seems to be calling for wind and rain in Tubo, but in fact, it has to be subordinated to the interests of the vast majority of nobles.

Lu Dongzan is not the only one who is worried, and the other is the Persian prince Belus, who has always dreamed of recovering the country.

Now, Khorasan has been in the hands of Fujian, but unfortunately Li Jie can't see the meaning of supporting Persia's recovery, but has launched the largest flow of people, countless Persians have been placed in Bengal, Indochina Peninsula, Fujian proper, vacated barren land exiled tens of thousands of Brahmins, Shalouqi prisoners of war and slaves, and now, Khorasan, where the Persians have lived for thousands of years, has been made into chaos by the population.

It seems that it is one step away from the dream of recovering the country.

However, despite the entanglement between the two, the army of Fujian still embarked on the journey of conquest.

In fact, this journey was not far, only about thirty miles away from Jingshi, the capital of Fujian.

Qunu City.

Although incredible, but this rebellious capital is indeed in the hands of the rebels for more than a year, with a rammed earth wall built of civil engineering to wrap here, busy with the **** wound of the Min State so that Qunu City has become a country of its own has not been attacked, and even historians of various ethnic groups have solemnly recorded this small country as the Brahmin Shiva country.

Now, Fujian's southward attack on the Deccan Plateau is imminent, and it is not safe to stay in the rear of Fujian after all, so the army must be the first to pull out the thorn in the side here.

Only one day after the huge swearing-in ceremony, the 200,000 standing army of the Fujian State was killed under the city of Qunu, but it did not attack the city at the first time, because the trenches built by the Fujian State themselves, the rammed earth fortifications became an obstacle to the siege of the city, so the army was divided into four groups and stationed on the four sides of the city of Qunu, and tens of thousands of slaves and Jews were driven up to fill in and destroy these fortifications and trenches.

For three days in a row, the vicinity of Qunu City was dusty, and the Jews wearing big robes and big satellites on their heads sweated like rain with shovels and pickaxes, and finally built layer upon layer, and the fortifications collapsed visibly to the naked eye.

These days, for how to attack the city, the generals are also arguing, you must know that the city of Qunu is built according to a country, after the strong Jieri Dynasty repaired, the rich Fujian State strengthened, if it is not a rebellion to the internal and external integration, this strong city is really impossible to fall.

It's a pity that the city walls of ten to twelve meters now, the fifteen-meter-high arrow tower, and the bed crossbows at key positions every ten meters have become obstacles to the Tang army's siege.

"Anyway, the Jingshi City has now been successfully built, and the existence of the Qunu City is no longer needed, it is better to divert water from the Ganges River to irrigate the city, the south of the city is low-lying, and after the city wall is broken, the morale of the rebels is low, and they can definitely go down in one drum."

The veteran Dugu loss is now also trusted to enter the high-level, becoming the general of Zuo Xiaowei, there is no general in Fujian, in fact, it constitutes the main general of the army with the left and right Zhonglang generals, don't look at the old guy's temperament is as fierce as fire, but he has experienced the turmoil of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and he is the most calm when he should be calm, and his ideas are also stable.

Unfortunately, this idea was not approved by the generals.

"How long does it take to break the river and irrigate the city, this battle is to punish the rebellion, it must be fought vigorously, and it can't be grinding!" A big face was flushed, Xue Qing shouted loudly at the top of his throat, and the tent buzzed, and Dugu's face turned blue when he was angry, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Then you mean to let the soldiers risk the bed crossbow in the flesh city?" ”

"Our army's bed crossbow is not vegetarian, with trebuchets and bed crossbows, Franky can completely suppress the enemy army!"

"Then you don't have to risk such a big sacrifice!"

The voice is getting higher and higher, and the two of them quarrel with each other, at the beginning, the surrounding generals also went to persuade and fight, but persuaded and persuaded to join the war group, where there are people, the rivers and lakes are indispensable, the veterans who originally followed Li Jie were dominant in the army, but now with the counterinsurgency war, many immigrant generals have also climbed to the top of the army, especially the warlike Guanlong military group.

This time the army conquest of the Deccan is related to the first time that the Fujian State was knighted, only about 80,000 sixteen guards and soldiers can participate in the war, and the rest have to hold Central Asia to guard against the attack of the Arabs.

Drawing the lesson of the last time he lacked the commander of the general's guard, Wang Xuance was left behind in the rear of the Beijing Division, but Li Jie unexpectedly leaned on the handsome position with a gloomy face and did not say a word, seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, and he was going to attack the city tomorrow but he couldn't decide on a big strategy, and Su Dingfang, the general of the right guard among the generals, was really anxious.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to what Su has to say."

The lion's roar of more than one hundred and twenty belongs finally overpowered the generals in the quarrel, and even the loud voices Xue Qing and Dugu Yan were buzzing in their ears, and the eighteen generals and fifty-two lieutenant generals were all stunned and parted a slit, revealing Su Dingfang.

Li Jie didn't react so loudly, he was stunned, and taking advantage of the moment of tranquility, Su Dingfang hurriedly said his opinion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is not advisable to break the river to irrigate the city for too long, and it is not advisable to fight the demeanor of my Fujian country, the bed crossbow on the city wall is still a scourge, in this case, why not cover up the prisoners of war to take the lead in attacking the city, anyway, my Fujian country plans to pardon a group of prisoners of war to distribute land for civilians, this time they are just used to go into battle, the meritorious ones are pardoned, and after the bed crossbow is consumed, a large army is sent to attack the city, which not only saves time, but also preserves strength, the best of both worlds."

As for the fate of Lou Qi's cannon fodder, no one cares, anyway, in the eyes of the generals of Fujian, Lou Lou is worthless, and this idea is unexpectedly approved by most of the generals.

On the one hand, Su Dingfang also came from the Guan Long family, and Dugu was regarded as his own person, on the other hand, Su Dingfang also served in the Shuo Wang's army for a period of time in the Wuyuan period, and they were also old friends with Xue Qing, and unconsciously Su Lie came to please him on both sides.

Of course, the generals decided not to count, and Li Jie had to nod, and after a private agreement, Xue Qing Wang Fangyi and Su Dingfang were cautiously paid and went to the tent of the Chinese army marshal, and knelt on the ground on one knee.

"Your Highness, the ministers want to use the captives of Shalou as the vanguard to attack the city, I don't know if Your Highness will allow it?"

It seemed that he had only come back to his senses at this time, and Li Jie waved his hand absentmindedly: "In this case, let's follow Zhu Qing's strategy." ”

Obviously a little upset, Li Jie turned around and went out, leaving the generals to kneel on the ground with each other looking at each other, and after a while, Xue Qing stood up with emotion, and shook his mighty head helplessly: "Hey, the other party's lord will be Lao Liu, His Highness still can't bear it." ”

And then for a while, a group of generals also sighed with emotion, more than half of the generals and Zhonglang generals came out of the team of hundreds of people who followed Li Jie north to Wuyuan in the past, and most of their comrades-in-arms have been buried in the ground, and they are still alive.

Without the intention of fighting for merit, a group of generals briefly discussed the order of tomorrow's attack, and they also dispersed in groups.

In the early morning of the next day, the fortifications outside the Qunu City, which had been dusty for three days, became noisy again, and the rammed earth wall that was once five or six meters high disappeared, replaced by countless ironclad battle arrays, with long lances like forests, armor light like abyss, and a murderous aura against the city walls that had become a lot of dilapidation in Qunu City.

But at this time, the huge Qunu City was still as silent as death.

In the end, it was Li Jie, who adjusted himself overnight, and the next day led the eldest grandson to weave a few points on the platform, which was still as sharp as a sword, and the generals who watched it finally felt at ease.

Sitting in the west of the city, facing the red sun in the east, Li Jie was the first to pull out his war knife and roared: "Siege!" ”

"Siege !!" One by one, the herald captain's hissing voice was connected into a piece, slowly, the huge war machine of Fujian showed its sharp claws against the fortified city in front of him, and the strong men pushed heavy bed crossbows, cloud ladders, and siege towers slowly forward, followed by countless crossbowmen and light infantry reading arrays, and the battle between the spears of Fujian and the strong shield of Qunucheng after a year was once again opened! .
