Chapter Sixty-Four: The Soldiers Are Coming
The Tang army was in high spirits, and one team after another drove forward, where the horses' hooves were stepped, the ice and snow splashed, and the sound was extraordinary.
Li Changguo and Li Baizheng said goodbye to Wang Wei.
Li Changguo rode on a horse and said to Wang Wei: "Wang Wei, the matter here will be left to you." Raise food and grass for the army, train Tibet, maintain order, and free slaves...... There are a lot of these things, and you have to worry about it. ”
"Please rest assured, Wang Weiding will not disgrace his life." Wang Weida was excited, his eyes were particularly bright, and he led the order loudly.
Wang Wei's career was smooth in the early stage, but it was not smooth in the later stage, and he was buried all the time, if he hadn't met Li Changguo, he would have been buried until he died. Now that he has a big responsibility, although he is very busy and busy, he is extremely happy and full of fighting spirit.
"Farewell." Li Changguo hugged his fists and beat his horse away.
"Farewell!" Li Bai hugged his fists and saluted, hitting his horse to catch up with Li Changguo.
xxxxxxxxx, Hongshan Palace, and De Zuzan are discussing the military situation with a group of ministers.
Zuzan's brows were furrowed unusually tightly, and although he tried his best to hide it, it was difficult to hide his sorrow. The Tang army went straight to Luo, and Tubo had reached the critical point of life and death, and he convened his ministers to discuss, but it was difficult to retreat from the enemy, and he could not help but worry.
"Tell me, how can we retreat from the enemy?" He asked loudly, speaking as smoothly as possible, but it was difficult to hide the trembling in his voice.
He didn't know how many times he had asked this, but the ministers were helpless, all of them lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to come out.
The fact that the Tang army came straight to Luo was completely unexpected by Tubo, disrupting the deployment of Tubo, and it took a lot of time to adjust, which was still a trivial matter, and it could always be adjusted, and the biggest problem was that Tubo had no strategy to retreat from the enemy.
"Big talk, you say." There was really no choice but to name him.
Talking about a spirit, as if it had been bitten by a poisonous snake, Ai Ai was speechless for a long time.
"Say, do you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Ji Dezu praised the fire without hitting one place, and his voice was very high, sharp and piercing.
The big talk is equivalent to the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, the number one minister, who will say if he doesn't say such a big thing? When he was used, he was helpless, and he couldn't get angry if he wanted to praise Dezu.
The "minister......" theory is very clear, his position is very dangerous, and he can't wait to find a way out of his head, but there is really no way, and he can't say it clearly.
"You stupid pig, you nonsense, you wine bag and rice bag, you bastard......" Qi Dezu praised the old man, pointed and scolded, saliva splashed, and the ground was wet: "In vain, you are a big talk about Tibet, you are jumping around in peace, you are more capable than your ancestors, and when you encounter a major event, you are helpless." You hang your dog's head and make eye contact with the words in your crotch, and that's what you do. ”
These words were scolded harshly and viciously enough, if it was in normal times, Da Zhu would definitely refute it loudly, but now he didn't dare to refute it at all, and his head hung lower.
"Smack!" Ji De Zuzan saw the wretched look in his eyes, and the anger was even greater, and his right hand patted left and right on Da Lun's head, and Da Lun's head was like a rattle, swaying from side to side, swaying back and forth.
The ministers have the way of the ministers, the king has the way of the king, and the Zuzan of the Emperor does this, which is not to abide by the way of the king, and it is an insult to the courtiers.
And I still prayed vigorously in my heart, and I didn't treat myself like this.
In addition to the stuffy gourd, in addition to being able to breathe, there is no other function, and after a while, Ji Dezuzan no longer has the interest in dealing with him, and he let him go angrily, looking at Xiao Lun.
Da Tan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move, and then pretended to be his wood.
"What about you? What's the solution? He slowed his tone as low as he could, for the gossip was his only hope.
Xiaotan is resourceful and very sober, if he has no choice, Tubo will really be finished, and Zuzan is both looking forward to it and nervous.
The ministers finally raised their heads and looked at Xiao Yi nervously, very hopeful.
"Zampu, I think it's not important to retreat from ......the enemy right now," Xiao Yan pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke.
Where to think of it, as soon as his words began, he was rudely interrupted by Ji De Zuzan, only to hear Ji De Zuzan interrupt and shout: "Don't focus on retreating from the enemy, you can say it." The Great Tibetan has reached the critical point of life and death, and if it cannot retreat from the enemy, the Great Tibetan will be over, and it will be all over. ”
The roar was like thunder, and it shook the eardrums of the ministers.
"Zampu, retreat from the enemy now, and there is no good way to do it." Xiao Lun unexpectedly raised his head, looked at Qi De Zuzan, and said: "If you stabilize the situation first, hold on to the Tang army, and then look for opportunities, it is the best policy." ”
"Stabilize the situation?" De Zuzan's eyes suddenly brightened.
Since receiving the news that the Tang army was coming straight to Luo, Qi Dezuzan was racking his brains to retreat from the enemy, and at this time he was reminded by the small theory, like waking up from a dream, and suddenly realized: "The small discussion is good, but Ben Zampu is too hasty." The Tang army captured Jishi Mountain, went straight to Luo, the spirit is in full swing, it is difficult to hold its edge, if you want to retreat from the enemy at this time, it is really difficult to achieve your wish. Stabilizing the situation first and then seeking good solutions is really the first priority at the moment. ”
Da Tan's lowered head was raised, and he looked at Xiao Tan, very jealous, such a simple thing, why didn't he think of it?
"What do you see? You're a dog's head, what else can you do but be powerful? If it weren't for the fact that the current situation is extremely critical, I would have dismissed your big argument. "Jide Zuzan is angry, and he yells at it.
It was as if he had a soft neck, and his head hung lower.
"Tell me how to stabilize the situation." He tried to squeeze out a smile, but it was more ugly than crying.
Xiao Lun groaned and said: "Zanpu, the minister thinks that the Great Tubo should hold on to the Tang army, stay in seclusion, and not fight with the Tang army, so that the Tang army will be consumed." The Tang army came from afar, and there was bound to be a shortage of baggage, as long as it held on to the Tang army, the Tang army could be consumed. ”
Qide Zuzan nodded slightly, and said with appreciation: "According to the Han people's art of war: if you don't transport grain for thousands of miles, the rocky mountains are dangerous, and it is difficult to transport grain and grass, the Tang army's grain and grass this time must be limited, and the Tang army must hope for a quick victory." However, Benzanpu is a deep ditch and a high base, not to fight with the Tang army, and when the Tang army is exhausted, it is really a clever strategy to kill the whole army. ”
Grain and grass are definitely the biggest weakness of the Tang Army. The Tang army was not without sufficient grain and grass, on the contrary, the Tang army's grain and grass were very sufficient, and they were stored in Dafeichuan, but they could not be transported to the hinterland of Tibet.
The hinterland of Tibet was very poor, and it was difficult to raise grain and grass, and it was very, very difficult for the Tang army to raise it on the spot.
"Zampu, the minister requests that the people of the Rasa be dismissed immediately, and that they return to the mountains and forests. In this way, even if the Tang army arrived, it would not be able to get supplies. Xiao Lun's eyes flashed.
"Clever plan." Although he was a little reluctant, he had to agree with this wonderful plan.
If the Tang army arrives, there will be a huge harvest, and the Tang army's grain and grass will be cut off, and it will be difficult to implement the plan to consume the Tang army.
Before the Tang army arrived, the people here were dismissed and let them return to the mountains and dense forests, and it would be difficult for the Tang army to get supplies again.
This is a poisonous plan, if it succeeds, the Tang army will be in danger.
As for the passes along the way, they didn't dare to have the luxury of blocking the Tang army, even the stones could be broken through such a natural danger, and it was only a matter of time before the passes along the way were lost, and it was impossible to stop the Tang army.
"Please give an order to Zampu, let the opinions of various places send troops, harass the Tang army, so that the Tang army cannot rest, and always be afraid." The small argument is plotting again.
The theories of the Tibetans are scattered everywhere, and if they harass the Tang army, the Tang army will be in great trouble.
"It's feasible, it's doable." The furrowed brow of the Emperor Zuzan spread.
"But ......" Xiao Yan glanced at Qi De Zuzan and didn't say any more.
"Say." Ji Dezu praised his eyebrows and shouted in a deep voice.
"The minister asks Zampu to issue an order, free the slaves, and give them free ......" Xiao Xuan hesitated for a moment, but still said.
"Shut up!" Before he could speak, the ministers began to reprimand, looking at the small talk as if they were looking at the enemy who killed his father.
These ministers are all Tibetan nobles, and if the slaves are freed, it will harm their interests, and it is impossible for them not to oppose them.
"Zampu, if this is not the case, the Tang Army will take the first step to release the slaves and give them free bodies, once the slaves join the Tang Army, everything will be over." Xiao Lun's voice rose sharply, and he said very passionately: "Zampu, you know that there are no slaves in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang army is like Mars, and the slaves are boiling oil, and when Mars falls into the boiling oil, it will become a raging fire. ”
"This ......" is very clear to the deutsche Zuzan, and what he said is very reasonable.
There were no slaves in the Tang Dynasty, which was extremely attractive to slaves, and it can be said that there was a fatal attraction. However, as soon as he ordered the freeing of the slaves, his ministers were bound to be disappointed in him, and even if he had the support of the slaves, it would be useless.
It was difficult to make a decision for a while, and said: "This matter is still allowed to be discussed later." ”
"Zampu ......" was about to be repeated, but it was interrupted by Qide Zuzan.
Waving his hand to stop Xiao Lun from going on, Ji Dezu praised: "Xiao Lun, you are good, very good, whenever you are in danger, you can always clear up the situation, Ben Zampu is very pleased." Time is pressing, and what you say must be implemented as soon as possible. Fortunately, Yang Jin did not fail in his mission and won five days for the Great Tubo. ”
Yang Jin's chest was straight, extremely complacent.
He came back to report and presented the blood book, and De Zuzan was very pleased, and the time was too precious. As for the credibility of the blood book, he did not doubt it, because without faith it would not stand. For the enemy, you can use stratagem, you can do everything, but you can't lose your trust.
This is a taboo for the ages.
"Xiaozhuo, I'll leave this matter to you." Ji Dezu nodded heavily, appreciating it.
This is the reuse of the small argument, and the big argument is extremely lost, but I dare not have any complaints.
"Xie Zampu." Small talk is exciting, I have been pressed by big talk for so many years, and now I can finally let go of my hands and feet.
"Yu Zanpu, the Tang army has hit Luo!" At that moment, the scout hurried in and shouted from afar.
"Impossible!" Yang Jin was the first to object, shouting: "The Tang army has clearly promised to stop advancing for five days. ”
"The Tang army has arrived in Luo, if you don't believe it, go out and see it yourself." This time, the scout's tone was unusually tough.
Yes, did you come, you can see at a glance, Ji De Zuzan took the lead to go out, looked in the northeast direction, and saw a water line, beautiful and smooth, is surging rapidly.
This is not the Tang Army, what else can it be?
"It's not good, we fell for the Tang Army!" Suddenly remembering something, he roared like a wounded beast.
