Chapter Twenty-Five: Sharpening the Soldiers

Leaving Chang'an, I went straight to the land of Hehuang, and the journey was very smooth.

When he arrived at the land of the river, Li Changguo was stunned, although it was icy and snowy, the land of the river was in full swing.

The Tang army drove to the land of Hehuang one after another, and then drove from the land of Hehuang through Shibao City towards Dafeichuan. The marching Tang army was covered in ice and snow, and his beard and eyebrows had become popsicles, but they were all overjoyed, and their faces were full of red light, as if the ice and snow did not exist.

"Finally, when the time comes to pacify Tibet, if my generation doesn't work hard, who will work hard?"

"My generation pacified Tibet and left future generations a peaceful northwest, even death is worth it!"

"A thousand values! 10,000 values! ”

"Tubo is the sworn enemy of the Tang Dynasty and the sworn enemy of China.

While the Tang army was marching, they cheered each other up, and everyone said that they must pacify Tibet.

Although they received the order to go to Dafeichuan to fight with Tubo, they did not know Li Changguo's plan, but, according to their thoughts, Shibao City was captured, Dafeichuan was recovered, and the Tang Dynasty mobilized so many troops to definitely pacify Tubo.

Tibet was the mortal enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and when the Tang army was pacified, everyone was happy, and the march was extremely brisk, as if stepping on the hot wheels.

The people who escorted the heavy baggage were in groups, flocking to the road, all covered in ice and snow, but their hearts were extremely high, and their faces were glowing red, as if they were not in the ice and snow, but in the warm tent.

"Up! Rise! Rise! ”

A grain cart stuck in the ice and snow could not move, and immediately a group of people gathered together, all of them raised their throats, roared loudly, and pulled out the grain cart with all their strength.

Look at the strength of the people, as if this is not a heavy grain cart, but as easy as two taels of cotton.

"Pacify Tibet, stabilize the border, a grand event for the ages!"

An official was covered in ice and snow, and at first glance, he looked like an ice sculpture, but he waved his arms and roared like thunder, and it spread far away.

"Pacify Tibet!"

"Settle the border!"

The people roared in unison, sweating profusely, without breathing, busy here and there.

Li Changguo came to the official's side and said with a smile: "It's such a heavy snowfall, ice and snow, but you are so busy, aren't you afraid of being tired?" ”

"What are you afraid of? There is no bad breed for the Tang Dynasty boys! "The official's chest is held high, and his head is held high, and he is extremely proud.

"Well done!" Li Changguo is emotional, the Tang Dynasty can be strong, can destroy dozens of countries, can become a dream dynasty in Chinese history, there is an inevitable reason, look at the officials, the people Tang Army, all of them are proud of being a Tang Dynasty man.

Without national pride, without a sense of national identity, how could the Tang Dynasty be strong?

"The prime minister said, if anyone makes a mistake, he will be dismissed and punished!" The official took a breath, exhaled a white gas, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, this is redundant, if he doesn't say it, we won't make a mistake!" Such a grand event, whoever makes a mistake is sorry for his conscience! ”

In order to carry heavy grain and grass, Li Linfu made a military order, but if a person starves to death, he is the only one who asks. He also commanded the following orders, a command of death, and whoever made a mistake would be punished for his sin.

There is the pride of being a Datang in the past, and Li Linfu's strict order in the back, no one will make a mistake!

Li Changguo was emotional, said goodbye to the officials, and led the Longwu army to rush towards Dafeichuan.

Two days later, they arrived at Stone Castle City. At this time, Shibao City was covered in silver, looking very enchanting, Li Changguo rode his horse to Shibao City, looking at the cliff covered with ice and snow, his eyes were red.

Shibao City was able to be defeated because thousands of Tang soldiers exchanged their lives.

Looking around, I saw a long dragon rolling towards Dafeichuan through Shibao City, with no head in front and no tail in sight.

There are people, Tang Army, and officials who make up this long line...... Everyone was excited, their faces were full of red light, and the cold was not a thing for them at all.

After feeling for a long time, Li Changguo patted the horse's back, joined this long dragon, and rushed towards Dafeichuan.

Three days later, Li Changguo came to Qinghai Lake, and when he looked at it, he saw a world of tents, countless tents standing in the ice and snow, and the Tang army arrived one after another, camped in an orderly manner, and did not have the slightest chaos.

In the next war, the Tang Dynasty was not satisfied with defeating the Tibetan army, but wanted to annihilate the living forces of Tibet. Only in this way will Tibet be stable, stable, and will there be no future troubles.

To this end, Li Longji transferred an additional 200,000 troops, plus the Tang army that participated in the Battle of Hehuang, and the total number of Tang troops stationed here was 300,000. 300,000 troops are stationed here, and it is already a sea of soldiers.

After the arrival of the Tang army, they did not rest, but after setting up the camp, they braved the wind and snow and the harsh and began training. Everyone knows that the environment in Tibet is very different from that in the mainland, and if you want to fight in Tubo, you must adapt to the climatic environment here.

This order was well executed, and the soldiers crawled and rolled in the ice and snow, roaring like thunder, earth-shattering.

Wang Wei saw it in his eyes, his blood was stirring, he let out a long roar, and said with emotion: "I know the weight of the soldier today!" ”

It seemed that this sentence was not enough, so he paused slightly, and then said: "With such a large army, why worry about Tubo not being broken?" I, Wang Wei, am fortunate to participate in this battle, what more can I ask for? ”

"yes!" Li Changguo was also enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "How many times can you meet in such a big battle?" Once is good! No regrets in this life! ”

"Overseer!" A snowman walked over quickly and saluted Li Changguo.

Li Changguo saw that it was Li Bai. At this time, Li Bai was covered with ice and snow, which looked like an ice sculpture at first glance.

"Li Hanlin, have you become an iceman? You are so immortal, you still can't hide it. Li Changguo laughed and teased.

"Huh!" Li Bai laughed heartily, helped Li Changguo to dismount, and said with a smile: "Prison Army, your trip to Chang'an, it's done!" The soldiers are complimenting you for bringing in so many reinforcements! ”

After taking Dafeichuan, the Tang Dynasty will definitely have a big war with Tubo, and it is inevitable to increase troops. According to Ge Shuhan's estimate, it would be good if the Tang Dynasty could increase by more than 100,000. Where did they think that Li Longji actually increased his troops by 200,000, which greatly surprised them, and they attributed this credit to Li Changguo.

"Don't dare to be!" Li Changguo smiled humbly and said: "This is all Your Majesty's bent on destroying Tubo and crushing Tubo, the sworn enemy of China for thousands of years, to death!" ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Li Bai had to admire.

Li Longji has long wanted to destroy Tibet, but he has never had a chance, and now that the opportunity has come, he will naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

"Wang Wei has seen Li Hanlin!" Wang Wei admired the famous Li Bai early and was busy stepping forward to greet him.

"It turned out to be Wang Maha, who has heard the name for a long time, and it is like thunder." Although Wang Wei's name is not as loud as Li Bai, he is also a great poet.

Two pairs of big hands clasped tightly together, this is a good story!

"The Overseers are back!" As soon as the news spread, the soldiers were overjoyed and rushed over to meet Li Changguo, looking at Li Changguo as if they had seen an ancestor.

Ge Shuhan and the others got the news, and they rushed over as if they were flying, and they couldn't help but say, and lifted Li Changguo up and carried them all the way into the tent.

As soon as he entered Shuai Shu, Ge Shuhan handed over a cup of hot tea, did not allow Li Changguo to drink tea, and hurriedly asked: "Brother, this trip to Chang'an has gained a lot, 200,000 reinforcements, you have it!" Tell us how you said it to Your Majesty. ”

The increase of 200,000 troops is far beyond everyone's imagination, although it is a good thing, but it is also curious how Li Changguo persuaded Li Longji to send so many reinforcements.

"That's right!" The generals echoed in unison.

"What is this......" Li Changguo winked malily and sold Guanzi.

"This ......" The generals were surprised and anxious, and accused in unison: "Say it quickly!" Don't sell it! ”

"Let me drink the tea." Li Changguo drove Erlang's legs and swayed, looking relaxed and comfortable.

The generals saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but they were helpless.

"If you don't say it again, I'll write an article to scold you." Li Bai stroked his beard and threatened: "In the world, no one knows, no one knows, my Li Bai's article is not bad." ”

His articles are not bad, they are well-known.

"Li Hanlin, you write! Wang Mahajie is here, and I ask him to write an article to praise me. Li Changguo smiled mischievously.

Li Bai was a little helpless, so he had to keep silent.

"Alright. He has sinister intentions, and he doesn't whet our appetites, and he doesn't say it. Guo Ziyi also came to count Li Changguo.

Li Changguo drank a few sips of hot tea, and then told him what he had done to Chang'an. As for the meeting with Li Longji, it is even more emphatically explained. However, there is still no mention of the plot, because it is to be kept secret, and there are many people here.

It was so hard to do it.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Everyone praised Li Longji in unison.

At present, although Li Longji is no longer diligent in government and indulges in pleasure, his shrewdness is still there, and once it comes to such a major event as the destruction of Tibet, his shrewdness is displayed, and he sent 200,000 troops to reinforce it in one fell swoop, which is really unexpected.

Li Changguo also agreed with this praise and nodded slightly.

Next, when Li Changguo talked about the sled and the sleeping bag, the generals were both happy and curious, clamoring to try it.

There are hundreds of sleds, and none of the generals is a problem, but it doesn't cause any trouble.

There are not many sleeping bags, the generals are a novelty, everyone wants to experience it, you fight for me, the quarrel is inexorable, for a while, the hum in the tent is endless, so that the Tang soldiers outside the tent can't help but probe their brains, and think that Li Changguo and they are discussing the big plan again.

Finally, the tent finally quieted down, and the generals were full of praise and confidence for the sleds and sleeping bags, and with these two things, this march into Tibet would reduce a lot of difficulties.

The sleeping bag is Wang Wei's ingenuity, because of this, the generals are respectful to him, and Wang Wei is very happy.

"That's it!" Ge Shuhan pressed his hands, as if he wanted the crowd to be quiet, and said: "It's been troublesome, it's loose, it's time to talk about something." Brother, you say, which army should take the lead? ”

"It's still the Dragon Martial Army." Li Changguo has thought about this matter a long time ago.

"I agree!" The generals agreed in unison.

The Longwu Army was the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty, all of them were selected, everyone was heroic, and it was only fitting to send them such an urgent matter as taking the lead.

"I agree too!" Ge Shuhan nodded heavily: "This time, Your Majesty has sent us another two thousand dragon martial troops, plus the dragon martial army that participated in the battle of Hehuang, a total of five thousand people!" With them, the best strategy has a greater chance! Train them, though! ”
