The night in spring is still very cold in some areas, especially in the Longxi area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoA group of Tibetan soldiers are roasting the fire, eating the dry food of the Tang people, and drinking hot paste. After eating, everyone got into their tents under the leadership of the captains of each team.

'Your Excellency, there is a good way to manage it. A middle-aged man with a face of words from all countries, looking at the orderly Tubo soldiers, with black and white eyes, looking around, was very admired for this kind of management, "These Tubo soldiers are so spontaneous, making trouble, and disobeying all of them, and they are managed by such a small number of soldiers and horses, so many Tubo people, which is really praiseworthy." ’

Zhang Fangfang's words are serious, just some small skills. Beside him, a young officer accompanied him to see the camp, and after a while, he turned back to their camp.

This large battalion has 2,600 people, and the Tang army has a single force, while the Tibetan soldiers, oh, no, the Tibetan laborers, are about five times their number, more than 13,000 people.

It has been half a year since the end of the war with the fear of heat, the Tubo people were defeated, and the fear of heat is nowhere to be found, this place seems sad, in fact, there are still some small roads to pass, the Tang army is very regrettable, and has not been able to overcome the full success, but even if he can escape, the soldiers and horses under his command can not run.

More than 50,000 people, these Tibetan soldiers, the dead died, the surrendered, and there were not many who really ran away, and the final statistics showed that the Tubo soldiers died 20,000 in this battle, and 25,000 surrendered.

Don't be frightened by this number, in fact, the Tibetan people are not so afraid of death, the casualties are so heavy, on the one hand, the Tang army wrapped them in dumplings, and they didn't even give them a way to live, which provoked the Tibetan people to resist, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit would bite when he was in a hurry.

In addition, almost all the seriously wounded soldiers were killed. Although it is not impossible to save, with the technology of the Tang Army, it can actually save many people, but the Tang Army's own casualties are not light, but those military doctors are busy.

In this battle, the Tang army was also seriously wounded, with two thousand casualties and serious casualties, most of which were the last to block the return of Tubo to Ruth, and the other part was that the two wings were killed and wounded more, and the Tubo finally had to resist, and they also sent the generals to block the enemy troops on both wings, they were well equipped and well trained, and they were considered full-time professional soldiers, which also caused casualties to the Tang army.

On the contrary, they stuck to their camp, because they had fortifications to rely on and a large number of long-range weapons, the casualties were not so heavy, and the Tubo people did not find that the retreat was cut off, and they had not saved the heart to fight to the death. As a result, right under ranged weapons, there were heavy casualties. Therefore, the large battalion, which was originally responsible for luring the enemy, suffered the least casualties.

However, such casualties were also intentional on the part of the Tang Army, and Xiaohu and a group of officers decided to fight like this. Because, the Tang army's advantage over Tubo is too great, it has excellent equipment, solid combat skills, rigorous training, and luxurious long-range firepower, which is several times stronger than Tubo in Dudu, and it is certain to win.

However, there is only one thing that cannot be tested, and that is will. Tang Jun's training is strict, and it is certain to exercise his will, walking in a queue, standing still in the school field in the scorching sun and cold wind, and in the cold weather, he turns his breath into ice, and he has to swim in the water, which is very torturous and testing.

However, can these wills be brought into play when fighting a tough battle? In ordinary times, there are all kinds of incentives, or encouragement, or sarcasm.

Tell them that if they want to hold on, they are the men of men, and if they can't hold on, they should go home and hide in their mother's arms to drink milk.

Tell them that the Tang Army is the pride of one, the world's unparalleled army, and everyone will be proud to enlist in the army in the future, and every junior will look up to their predecessors. It took a multi-pronged approach to train such an iron army.

But when faced with a life-and-death situation, can you really pass the test? After all, these trainings are strict, and they usually try to kill, kill pigs, and the pigs howl before they die are really torturous, and even, not to mention the real knife, even tie up the pigs, they know what they are going to face next, and the pain is far more than humans. If you can kill a pig, you can also kill a person.

However, none of this means that they can truly pass the test in a life-and-death situation. Eternal hardships are one death, but the army must often face such difficulties. If you can't face it, it's simply waste.

Why are those nomads often able to defeat countries that are bigger than them, and they can win armies and run around with their heads? It's a momentum, the so-called bare feet are not afraid to wear shoes, those barefoot gets, except for a life, there is nothing, if you can't kill the person in front of you, then die.

It was this mentality of putting life and death aside that allowed them to win the war. The Tang Army is now going to test this temperament and see if the soldiers under his command can really afford to fight a hard battle, not relying on equipment to bully people.

Fortunately, the first officer was not disappointed, and the 5,000 people who were responsible for blocking the return of Tibet to Tibet were killed the most, with nearly 1,000 dead and wounded, which already accounted for one-fifth of the number of people, and did not let them retreat. The other performances were also good, and they didn't live up to the rigors of training and equipment.

Although the casualties were heavier, on the one hand, it tested whether the army dared to fight and dare to fight hard, and it also made the whole battle situation much easier. Because of this area, there are almost no Tubo people in the system, they successfully swept Lanzhou, Shanzhou, the power of the victory, the two state guards did not dare to resist stubbornly, both Kaicheng surrendered.

Then, there is the issue of prisoners of war. There are more than 20,000 prisoners of war, and it is a trouble to eat just every day. The Divine Army can't keep them indefinitely.

Then, Xiaohu released some of the old and weak, about 5,000 people. These are useless places, keeping the land, raising wasted food, and driving things away.

Then, a part of the Tubo people were selected and added to the army, about 5,000 people were selected, and they were scattered and mixed into the Tang army, so that they could be trained into a Tang army in the shortest possible time.

This made the Shence army swell a little more, this time set up an additional horse army, and added all the war horses obtained this time, for the Tang army, these war horses are the biggest gain.

There are about 26,000 people left, well, yes, the extra people are the troops from Lanzhou and the soldiers and horses left behind by Tubo to defend Shanzhou, and these 26,000 people have a headache.

It can no longer be replenished into the Tang army, the Tang army is less than 20,000 people, there are already 6,000 Tubo people, and the original Tongqi tribes that were not classified as the Tang army are now regularized. That's too much, and if it continues to increase, the proportion will be incongruous.

Let go? It's even more unlikely. Is the tiger returning to the mountains? Later, Li Chengyi proposed that the imperial court was building roads, so they might as well start to build from Lanzhou City to Huizhou, and finally communicate with the Central Plains railroad carriage. To put it simply, turn these Tibetans into road builders similar to the Xiang Army.

However, this is also a little difficult, 26,000 people, which is a huge number, about the same as the Tang army. It's also troublesome to manage in this way, in case the one is instigated and suddenly riots, not to mention whether they can defeat the Tang army, it is enough to drag them down. Wait until the beginning of spring, and you will have to level the entire Longxi.

In the end, it was Xiaohu who got the idea. Some of the Tibetans were released, but in order to prevent them from causing trouble, Xiaohu was so cruel that he cut off both of their thumbs. Then they might be able to do something else, but they won't be able to pick up their weapons.

Is it cruel? Not at all. When Tubo ravaged the Tang Dynasty, it was the time when the calculation of the Tang Dynasty failed. The Tibetans finally retreated, and they cut off some old and weak arms, gouged out their eyeballs, and abandoned them. Compared to them, Tang Jun is already very benevolent.

In this way, some more people were eliminated, and half of them were left, and it was almost the same. The Tang army originally had to carry heavy loads, and with the capture of Tibet, the Tibetan personnel had looted gold, silver, grain and grass in the Hehuang area, all of which became the trophies of the Tang army. It was not in vain that he wiped out all the Tibetans in the first place.

These are all added up, the Tang army plus the prisoners, and those war horses, it is not a problem to eat for half a year. In this way, the imperial court does not have to be in the cold winter, and has to desperately transport materials. Next year, you can even wait until the spring ploughing, and then call manpower, which is a lot smaller.

Then, Xiaohu used the management method mentioned by Li Chen and began to manage these Tubo soldiers. First of all, try to divert the hatred of the Tibetan soldiers. Very simply, he divided the Tubo people, a team of fifty people, and managed it according to the military system of the Tang Army. All the managers are completely Tibetans, let them take care of themselves.

The only thing is that these middle-level managers were all promoted by the Tang people, and a former Tubo general, even if it was a low-level general, was not selected, and promoted many Tubo people who were originally ordinary soldiers to be managers. Then around this group of people, there was another group of people who were attached to them, and the fox and the tiger were like dogs and dogs, and they were their subordinates.

These people, not only proud, turned over all of a sudden, and even the treatment was better, they ate better than those Tubo people, and they could also be equipped with a small number of weapons to suppress the Tubo people who did not obey.

In this way, the management responsibility of the Tang Army was completely singled out. The group of soldiers who were promoted suddenly changed from being below people to above middle people, and they were very angry for a while, and they were very deferential to Tang Jun, and then in a blink of an eye, they spoke ill of their original comrades, and even Shangguan.

As long as the Tang army urges this group of traitors, let them oppress the Tubo people, and build roads. Completely remove the hatred of the Tubo people from the Tang army. Compared with the enemy, this kind of colleague who was originally a companion and later betrayed is even more hateful.

In this way, the Tang army easily used a few thousand people to manage several times their Tubo people. That group of Tibetan traitors, if they want to maintain their power and continue to be prestigious, they can only rely on the Tang Army, and the resentment of those Tibetan people is also concentrated on that group of Tibetan traitors. If there is a riot, they will be the first to kill. Tang Jun still had enough time to react. Count it all in one fell swoop.

Of course, Xiaohu is not only like this, but also proposes many methods, such as segmented competition, and only when the basic work is achieved every day can food be available. Then, among them, a few groups of better ones were singled out, and they could get food from the backward ones, and the backward ones could only watch as some fish and meat that could have been put into their mouths fell into other people's bowls.

This not only stimulates them not to fish and speed up the progress, but also helps to divert hatred, so that those who were originally colleagues and Tubo soldiers compete with each other, and it is even more difficult to merge together. Reduce the chances of revolt. This made Zhang Yichao, who came to visit, very impressed.

On that day, the war ended, in addition to the big victory over Tubo, which made Xiaohu very happy, a pair of scouts also reported and caught several men and women, two of whom were said to be the children of the high-ranking of the Tang rebels in Guazhou, which surprised Xiaohu.

At the moment, he didn't care about the fatigue of the big war, so he met with the two. Then it made Xiaohu even happier, it turned out that the Tang Dynasty was still very popular in Tubo, taking advantage of the weakness of Tubo, the Tang residents took advantage of the situation to resist, not only expelled the Tubo people, but also defeated the Tubo reinforcements.

It is really admirable to hear that the Guazhou rebels used the fire bull array to defeat the Tubo people, and defeated the people with a small number of victories.

The reason why a classic is a classic is that it is not easy to copy. What night raids, division of troops and combined attacks, these are easy to talk about on paper, but in reality they are difficult. Being able to use it successfully proves that he is indeed a genius who is a soldier. At that moment, Xiaohu sent a sergeant to escort a few people back to Guazhou and try to get in touch with the rebels.

And a few of them had to return, vibrating the whole Guazhou, and seeing the familiar battle jacket and battle flag of the Tang Army, many old people were in tears, kneeling on the ground, and calling the Heavenly Army.

When they knew that the Tang army had sent troops to Longyou, and before the defeat, they were ravaging the Hehuang area, and it was a sensation in the whole city, everyone was moved by themselves, they were not lonely, they did not forget that they were Tang people, and under the iron hooves of the Tubo people, it was difficult and proud to maintain their dignity. Datang has not forgotten his group of people who are far away in a foreign land and struggling to survive. Send troops to reclaim Hehuang.

All of a sudden, someone immediately wanted to go to Lanzhou to meet the Heavenly Army. However, because of the long distance and the fact that most of the roads along the road are still controlled by the Tibetans, it is okay for a few people to go over, and it is not appropriate for a large group of people to go over and bring gifts. Moreover, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is even more inappropriate to go out now. It's just the beginning of spring.

It's just that many things can't wait for the beginning of spring, the Tang army is afraid of heat, and the news of the recovery of the Hehuang area spreads, and one stone stirs up thousands of waves, and the entire Longxi is vibrate. The news spread farther and farther, and there was a precedent for Guazhou to rebel against the Tubo people before, and the Tubo reinforcements were defeated. The entire Hehuang area is full of dark tides.

Just after the Chinese New Year, several prefectures and counties revolted one after another, overthrew the Tubo people, announced the change of banner, and returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty.

In some places, the troops rebelled, and in some places, the Tibetan guards were aware of this situation, so they simply abandoned the city guards and went to other places. As a result, in the spring of the fourth year of junior high school, when Xiaohu and they began to drive those who had been raised for a winter, and even some of them had to grow meat to build roads.

Because of the first righteousness, the performance was outstanding, and was named the sandbar defense envoy Zhang Yichao came, this time he did not hesitate to come to the local fathers and elders of Guazhou, but also brought the Guazhou Righteous Army, and even brought the fathers and elders of other state capitals and the Righteous Army, to meet the commander of the Tang Army, and discussed, the matter of recovering the whole Hehuang.
