Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Soldiers of the Country
The Brahmaputra River has been cut off, and the thick ice has frozen the flowing water, like a jade belt, stretching into the distance.
On both sides of the Brahmaputra River, groups of Tibetan troops were marching rapidly, and they were about to rush to Luozhan to listen to Hou Zanpu's dispatch.
Ever since he was determined to take revenge and recapture Dafeichuan, his orders reached the high mountains and dense forests of Tibet, and the Tibetans drove out of the treacherous mountains and rivers and rushed to Luo.
Along the way, the Tubo people talked a lot, and the most talked about was the fight against the Tang Dynasty, according to their thoughts, the Tang Dynasty was vulnerable, and it was inevitable to take back Dafeichuan.
Not only that, but Tubo also had a huge capture, which was greater than the harvest of the four towns of Anxi that year.
Because of this, the Tibetan people were very excited, and their voices were very high-pitched, shrill and piercing.
"The Tang people are really stupid, they dare to attack Dafeichuan. Dafeichuan is the important place of Dafeichuan, and Xue Rengui's defeat of Dafeichuan is not enough to teach the Tang people? ”
"Tang people are healed, the scar has forgotten the pain, it has been decades since Xue Rengui's defeat, and their delusions have grown again. This time, the Great Tubo must teach the Tang people a cruel lesson, and they will never forget it. ”
"The lesson is too light, and the Tang people must pay a heavy price. After the Great Tubo recovered the Dafeichuan, he immediately sent troops to the land of Hehuang, and after conquering the land of Hehuang, he immediately sent troops to Chang'an and destroyed the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Chang'an, that is the richest city in the world, gold, silver and jewelry are piled up into a mountain, and the beautiful beauty is more than the cow hair on the yak.
The more the Tibetan people talked, the more excited they became, their eyes lit up, and strings of wonderful little stars appeared, as if they had entered Chang'an.
In this way, the Tubo people were discussing how to fight the Tang Dynasty while marching, and in their mouths, the Tang Dynasty was no different from paper paste, as long as the Tubo army arrived, Chang'an was captured.
The mood was happy and full of hope, and the march of Tibet was unusually brisk, walking as if it was flying, as if stepping on hot wheels.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx has become a sea of soldiers.
Since the order of the Emperor Zuzan was issued, the Tibetan army came from the high mountains and dense forests, and one after another drove in, and the Tibetan army gathered in Luo multiplied and multiplied, and soon, the tents were one after another, I don't know how many, and I couldn't see the end at a glance.
The radius of the city is only ten or twenty miles, and now it has increased dramatically to more than a hundred miles.
Even so, many Tibetan troops arrived, and the tent was still growing.
"Zampu, it's Zampu!"
The Tibetans erupted into a terrifying roar, their faces glowing with joy, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
He led his ministers and rode horses around the barracks.
At a glance, I saw that the tent was lined up horizontally, vertically lined up, and very orderly, and the Emperor Zuzan was greatly satisfied, and nodded secretly.
There are still some twists and turns in this matter, if it weren't for the thunder method used by De Zuzan at the beginning, the city would have become a kennel and a cattle pen.
When the Tibetan army first arrived, he was very excited, thinking that the city of Luo was his home, and he could camp as much as he wanted.
If that's all it takes, it won't provoke De Zuzan to use thunder methods, and what's even more unbearable is that cow and horse dung is everywhere, and if you step down, you are likely to step on the stinky dung.
The Tibetan people are nomadic people, living a migration, the army is coming towards Luo, and there are many family members who come with it, riding horses, driving cattle and sheep, and coming to Luo, which has become the largest gathering place for a while, with herds of cattle and sheep, and piles of horses.
What's worse is that the Tubo people have been mixed with cattle and horses since they were children, and they have no sense of neatness, and they have not paid attention to the idea of tidiness and cleanliness in some cities.
I couldn't stand it, so I ordered to rectify and clean up cow and horse dung.
For this order, the Tubo people don't take it to heart at all, don't mix with cattle and horses, can't smell cow and horse dung, can they still be called Tubo?
Several orders were invalid, and De Zuzan was furious, and killed several leaders on the spot, so that the Tubo people were finally scared and did not dare not carry out the orders of Ji De Zuzan.
In this way, under the order of the Emperor Zuzan, the Tubo people began to clean up and tidy up, in an orderly manner, and the rules and regulations were self-contained, so that they had the scene in front of them.
Listening to the cheers of the Tubo people, the ancestors of the Emperor were very happy, so popular with the people, why not be worried about not recovering Dafeichuan? Why can't you enter the land of the river? Why can't you break into Chang'an?
With the ministers to inspect the pass, Qi Dezuzan was very excited, returned to the Hongshan Palace, entered the main hall, sat down, asked the servants to bring wine and food, and discussed the military aircraft with the ministers while drinking and feasting.
"The warriors of the Great Tibetan Empire are coming from the high mountains and dense forests, and it will not be long before the soldiers of the Great Tibetan Empire will gather. At that time, we will send troops to Dafeichuan and have a big battle with the Tang army, and you all tell me, what is the number of victories and defeats? "Ji Dezuzan ate meat and drank wine, which was very cheerful, and his voice was much higher.
At the beginning, when he heard the news of the loss of Dafeichuan, he was very angry, and in a fit of anger, he killed all the Sambuza family, leaving no one, even if it was a newborn baby.
Now, seeing more and more Tubo troops arriving, his heart is full again, and his waist is hard again, so many Tubo armies, are you still worried that you can't recover Dafeichuan?
"Zampu, the warriors who have rushed to Raksha have already driven more than 300,000. By the time the time the army marches, the number of warriors who arrive will not be less than half a million. The tone of the Great Commentary was very high, a little shrill and piercing, and it was almost sung: "At the time of Songtsen Gampo, the total number of troops in the Great Tubo was only 400,000. Today, the warriors of the Great Tibetan region will not be less than 500,000, what a beautiful thing! ”
Songtsen Gampo was a great Zampu who laid the foundation for the development of Tibet, but that was only the foundation. In the decades that followed, Tibet expanded dramatically, expanding its territory and expanding its population, increasing the number of troops it could mobilize by hundreds of thousands.
"If it weren't for Sun Boru's 100,000 army being lost, if it wasn't for the loss of Dafeichuan, there would have been more warriors in Tubo, no less than 700,000!" Xiao Yan took over the conversation and said loudly.
"Yes!" The ministers echoed loudly, both excited and angry.
The excitement is that Tibet was once very strong and could mobilize an army of 700,000, which is unique in the history of Tibet.
Thinking about the Tang Dynasty, the total strength of the country was only 5440,000, and Tubo had an army of 700,000, which was enough to make the Tubo ministers praise it fiercely.
Angry, Sun Boru's 100,000-strong army was wiped out, and Dafeichuan was also lost, which weakened the strength of Tubo a lot.
"The Tang people are hateful and hateful!"
"You must not spare the Tang people!"
"Enter Chang'an! Break into Chang'an! ”
Immediately afterwards, the ministers just scolded, saliva flew wildly, and almost drowned the Hongshan Palace.
"Enough!" Ji Dezu's face sank, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Scolding is useless, scolding can't kill Li Longji!" Tell me how this battle should be fought. ”
The army has been mobilized, and how to use it requires planning.
With a smile on his face, Da Yan took the lead in speaking, and said: "Xue Rengui marched into Dafeichuan, and 100,000 Tang troops came in anger, and the momentum was flourishing. It was because the ancestors cut off his grain and burned his grain and grass, and Xue Rengui had to retreat. ”
The one who defeated Xue Rengui was one of the four sages of the Songtsen Gampo period, the grandson of Lu Dongzan, who was the great treatise at the time, and was the ancestor of the current great treatise. The officials, land, and power of Tibet are all hereditary, and his ancestors are the great treatises, and he is also the great treatise.
When he mentioned the most proud thing of his ancestors, his eyes narrowed together, and he smiled like Maitreya Buddha.
Tubo and the Tang Dynasty fought for hundreds of years, but it was rare to win battles, and a battle like defeating Xue Rengui was even more unique for Tubo, who could not be beautiful?
"What does the big argument mean is that this battle is still to cut off the enemy's grain route and burn the grain and grass of the Tang army?" De Zuzan shouted loudly.
"Zampu Wise!" A big praise of beauty is actually praising yourself.
"Although what the Great Treatise says is true, it is not necessarily true." The small argument was opposed, and said: "Although Dafeichuan is a flat river, which is conducive to galloping, its surroundings are many high mountains and dense forests, and it is necessary to cut off the enemy's grain route, and it is a success." However, how easy is it to burn the grain and grass of the Tang Army? You must know that in the first battle of that year, if Guo Beifeng hadn't joined Xue Rengui in time, giving the Great Tubo an opportunity, it was not certain who would win and who would lose in that battle. ”
What the small discussion said was very pertinent, but it caused a group of Tibetan ministers to frown.
"Now, Ge Shuhan is a good opportunity, and his subordinates are even more heroes, Li Changguo, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, and even literati like Li Bai are also good generals, if you want to burn his grain and grass, is there a good way to talk about it?" Xiao Yan didn't see that the ministers didn't want to say more, so he asked rhetorically.
"Xiaowen, do you have a clever idea?" Qi Dezu praised it slightly, and greatly approved of this.
He was the hero in the history of Tibet, and he was extremely proficient in military affairs, so he naturally knew that what he said was all the truth. In that battle, if Guo Beifeng hadn't disobeyed the military order, Tubo would probably have suffered a defeat.
"Zampu, the minister thinks that there are two strategies to fight against Tibet." Xiao Tan was full of confidence, and without waiting for Ji Dezu to ask for advice, he said: "The first strategy is to send a small army to deal with the Tang army and disturb the Tang army's grain route. Fighting in the mountains and dense forests, although the Tang army was well-trained and well-equipped, it was no match for the Great Tibetan warriors. ”
The Tubo people are born to be good at trekking through mountains and rivers, this is their housekeeping skill, if they really fight like this, it will be a huge threat to the Tang army.
"What about the second policy?" Ji Dezuzan bowed slightly.
"The second strategy is to drag!" Xiao Tan analyzed it loudly and said: "According to the information we have received, Li Longji is increasing his troops in Dafeichuan, although we don't know the detailed number, it can be estimated that it will not be less than 100,000. If the warriors of the Great Tubo fought the Tang army in Dafeichuan, even if we had 500,000, we might not be able to defeat the 200,000 Tang army. Yes, the Great Tibetan should be delayed. The 200,000 Tang troops were stationed in Dafeichuan, and they couldn't fight, and they couldn't retreat, and they had to empty a mountain in one day. Although the Tang Dynasty was strong, it was unsustainable, and as long as it dragged on, the Tang army had to retreat. At that time, it was time for the Great Tibetan to attack in a big way. ”
"Buzz!" As soon as his words were finished, the hall erupted in a buzzing chatter.
