Chapter 14: Wang Zhonghe's apology

Stone mountain, the peaks are towering, steep and abnormal.

A long dragon composed of a stream of people meandered between the mountain roads, with no head in front and no tail in sight, which was the Tang army retreating from Tibet.

At this time, Tang Jun's faces were full of joy, and everyone was overjoyed, as if it was a big New Year. Their steps were brisk, as if they were stepping on hot wheels, drifting in the direction of Dafeichuan.

At the beginning, after Jishi Mountain was opened by the Longwu Army, 300,000 Tang troops set out from Dafeichuan and attacked the hinterland of Tubo through Jishi Mountain. At that time, the scene of 300,000 troops passing through Jishi Mountain was extremely spectacular, and the morale of the soldiers was like a rainbow, and they were eager to calm Tibet immediately.

Now, Tubo has been peaceful, the Tang army has returned victoriously, a joy, the whole stone mountain has been flooded with joy, the Tang army in the march to say the most is to pacify the battle of Tubo.

Although the Tibetan war has been wiped out and the war in Tibet has come to an end, the blood of the soldiers has not cooled, and every time I think about this battle, it always makes people's blood boil.

This is a war of annihilation, which is already joyful, exciting, and exciting. Not to mention, this is the first time in thousands of years that China has been pacified in Tibet, this is a pioneering feat, who can not miss it?

Don't say that you can't let the blood of the soldiers cool down in a short period of time, that is, it won't cool down for the rest of your life.

In addition to talking about the First Battle of Tibet, the soldiers had to talk about the Battle with the Great Food. The soldiers were looking forward to this battle very much, and they couldn't wait to fly to the Western Regions immediately and kill the big food.

Da Shi was the fierce enemy of Tang Qiu, and there were many great battles with the Tang Dynasty, all of which ended in defeat. However, the soldiers understood that a battle with Da Shi was much more difficult than a war with Tubo, because the strength of Da Shi was far from being comparable to Tubo, and the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Da Shi would be a series of earth-shattering battles.

It is precisely because of this that the soldiers are particularly looking forward to the fact that the Datang boy has the courage to not be afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, although the big food is strong, the Datang man is not afraid!

Li Changguo rode on his war horse and looked at Jishi Mountain, only to see that Jishi Mountain at this time was completely different from when they marched to Jishi Mountain. In February, they attacked Jishi Mountain, which was covered in snow and ice. At present, Jishi Mountain is green and full of vitality.

It's just that the Jishi Mountain in February is a natural danger in Tibet, blocking the pace of the Tang army's advance. Today's Jishi Mountain has become the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and Jishi Mountain is just a natural danger in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

It's only been a few months, and there have been such earth-shaking changes, which is really emotional.

In particular, as the driving force of this change, Li Changguo's emotion is even more profound.

"Listen, the soldiers are talking about attacking the Great Food." Guo Ziyi pulled the reins of the horse and rode side by side with Li Changguo to remind Li Changguo.

Li Changguo retracted his thoughts, listened attentively, and only listened to the soldiers talking loudly, how to fight the big food, and the big food must be fought to destroy the country and the species, like the Tubo.

"Huh. The morale of the brothers is good, and that's a good thing. Li Changguo listened to it and was very satisfied.

The battle between the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food is about to happen, as for the time, at most one month, as long as the Tang army completes its rest and preparations, it will begin.

In the first battle of Tibet, the casualties of the Tang army were not many, but after all, Tubo was a big country, and the soldiers fought thousands of miles, and this fatigue was inevitable, and it was necessary to rest.

Moreover, Da Shi is a big country, it is the strongest opponent of the Tang Dynasty, its strength is stronger than the Turks and Tibet, and it is the strongest opponent that the Tang Dynasty has encountered so far.

Otherwise, the Tang army would have been able to march to the Western Regions.

Before the war began, the Tang army had such a high fighting spirit and morale like a rainbow, which was a great thing, and Li Changguo would not be satisfied with it.

"yes." Li Guangbi nodded heavily and said, "The battle with Da Shi is imminent, and it is a great thing that the brothers can have such a high fighting spirit. When the time comes, all it takes is a little motivation. ”

Morale is an important factor in whether an army can win, extremely important, there is such a high morale before it is inspired, once the war starts, a little encouragement, is not the fighting spirit high, morale like a rainbow?

After a few days, Li Changguo and the others came to Dafeichuan through Jishi Mountain, and were greeted by countless people.

There were too many people who rushed here to greet them, no less than 70,000 or 80,000, and they were ordinary people, scholars, and business travelers from all over the Tang Dynasty...... Not for anything else, just because the Tang Dynasty pacified Tibet, the Tang Dynasty was majestic, so that the Tang people felt happy, as soon as the news spread, they rushed from all over the country to welcome the return of the Tang army.

If the Tang army hadn't allowed them to enter Jishi Mountain, they would have rushed to the hinterland of Tibet long ago. The reason why the Tang army did not allow them to enter Jishi Mountain was because the Tang army was about to retreat, and if they entered Jishi Mountain again, it would make the Tang army's retreat extremely slow. After all, the road in the Stone Mountain was too narrow for him to occupy.

They couldn't go deep into the hinterland of Tibet to meet the Tang army, but these people understood and agreed, so they greeted them in Dafeichuan.

They looked forward to the stars and the moon, and finally brought Tang Jun here.

"Long live Datang!"

"Tibet is gone!"

The earth-shattering cheers resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the people rejoiced, waving their arms, shaking their fists, and shouting at the top of their voices.

People came to the army with food and wine.

"Warriors, you've worked hard, eat some, it's still hot."

"This is warm wine, it tastes good, drink some."

"Warriors, you are good, take it."

The crowd was very enthusiastic, as if they had seen their ancestors, and everyone had tears in their eyes, and they were so excited that they stuffed food and wine into the hands of the soldiers, as if they were afraid that the soldiers would not accept it.

"Big brother, no, no. The orders of the prison army are extremely strict, and we dare not accept them, and we cannot accept them. ”

"This big brother, don't do this, I can't accept it, this is a strict order of the prison army, it is violated, and the military law is ruthless."

The Tang army knew that Li Changguo's orders were extremely strict, and no one dared to accept the people's things.

"Overseer, this is yours. How can we not celebrate such a great thing as the extermination of Tibet? Overseer, we're a little bit of a little bit, Overseer, you just let the warriors take it. ”

"Prison army, there are not many things in this matter, just a matter of one mouthful, you can let the soldiers accept it."

The crowd hurriedly gathered around Li Changguo, shouting nonsense, some accusing, some pleading, some begging, and so on.

Looking at the eager faces, Li Changguo was moved, but he waved his hand to calm them down, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers: We understand your kindness. The Tang Dynasty was able to pacify Tibet because we had strict military orders, and the orders were forbidden. It is a very good thing to pacify Tibet, and we must not set such a bad example, we must not regard military discipline as child's play, and we must not accept a single drink or meat from the villagers. ”

The tone is not high, but it is categorical, and people dare not have any doubts.

"Supervising the army, just a little, a little, this will not hinder military discipline."

"Prison Army, when the Duke of Weiguo destroyed the Turks, the villagers sent wine and meat, didn't they accept it differently?"

The crowd would not give up easily, but they still surrounded Li Changguo and shouted loudly, looking like Li Changguo did not agree and would not give up.

"Folks: The army of the Tang Dynasty can dominate the world and destroy dozens of countries, because we have strict military discipline and dare not disobey orders." Li Changguo had no choice but to reprimand again: "The pacification of Tibet is certainly a great thing. But you must know that this is just the beginning, and Datang has an even more powerful enemy, that is, Da Shi. If we don't obey orders and regard military discipline as child's play, how can we break the big food? ”

The strength of Da Shi is much stronger than that of Tubo, and the Tang people know something, and the crowd can't help but hesitate.

"Folks: When we break through the Great Food, we will wait for you in Tiaozhihai, and at that time, we will drink together in Tiaozhihai!" Li Changguo's voice suddenly increased, and his voice spread far away.

"Drink in the sea of Tiaozhi!" The crowd erupted in an earth-shattering roar, and the sound rushed into the sky.

Tiaozhihai is the Mediterranean, the westernmost territorial sea of the Great Food, and drinking in the Mediterranean Sea is such a bold statement, and the crowd is very excited.

Don't say that they were excited, even the soldiers of the Tang Army were also excited, and they all raised their throats and shouted, and for a while, the roar shook the sky.

"Prison Army, we listen to you." The crowd no longer insisted.

Wang Zhongsi was galloping on a war horse, suddenly, his ears stood up, and he listened: "Drink in the Tiaozhi Sea!" What a big spirit, so good pride! ”

"Marshal, the villagers rushed to the Dafei Sichuan Army, and the orders of the supervising army were extremely strict, and the soldiers did not dare to accept a single wine or meat. The villagers were not angry and went to the prison army to reason, but they didn't expect to be convinced by the prison army. "A guard galloped in and reported to the king's loyal heir.

"It's really unreasonable, such a beautiful thing should be accommodating." Some guards complained.

"Accommodating?" Wang Zhongsi raised his eyebrows.

"Dashuai, I remember that in the past, we defeated Da Shi, and some villagers gave us wine and meat, didn't you just let us accept it?" A reminder from the guard.

"Hey!" Wang Zhongsi sighed and said with emotion: "This is where Li Changguo is better than me. The pacification of Tibet is a great victory, and many people will get carried away, be proud of their achievements, and treat military discipline as child's play. Li Changguo not only did not relax, but strengthened the order, not to accept a single wine or meat, this real name is a talent! ”

"Let's go, see Li Changguo." Wang Zhongsi patted the horse's back, and the war horse ran faster.

Li Changguo persuaded the villagers to leave, rode on horseback, and in the middle of the line, he saw a group of people galloping over, and when he looked closely, it was an extremely elite Tang army, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Who is this?" Li Changguo looked at the person who came first. Although he had heard of Wang Zhonghe's name for a long time, he had never met him.

"It's Wang Zhonghei, Wang Dashuai." Li Guangbi used to be Wang Zhonghe's subordinate and was busy introducing Li Changguo.

"Wang Zhonghe? What did he come to do? Li Changguo was a little surprised.

"Wang Zhongsi has seen the prison army." What Li Changguo didn't expect was that Wang Zhongsi rolled the saddle and dismounted from a distance, saluted Li Changguo, and said: "In the past, Wang Zhongsi was so negligent, Wang Zhongsi has made amends here!" "Bow at ninety degrees, extremely respectful.

At the beginning, Li Changguo went to Chang'an from the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, passing through Longyou, to visit Wang Zhongsi, but Wang Zhongsi did not meet, and this is what he said.
