When Songtsen Gampo learned the news of Qinling's martyrdom, the whole person lost his mind for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When he had insight into Du He's intentions, he had a faint feeling that Du He had the intention of separating him from the Qinling army, so that he could eat them one by one. But he had no choice, Du He's tactical layout was interlocking, and he was not allowed to have any respite, and he lost all the games if he made a wrong move.

For the sake of the overall situation, Songtsen Gampo can only choose to retreat.

There is no other way.

As for Qinling, Songtsen Gampo could only silently pray in his heart, hoping that Qinling could escape with his ingenuity.

As a result, everything was extravagant, and in the interlocking strategies, the news of Qin Ling's death still came. Songtsen Gampo only felt that one arm was sawn off and he lost his arm.

The bad news spread frequently, and the morale of the Tibetan army was also greatly hit, and even Songtsen Gampo could not control the low morale. The most sad thing for Songtsen Gampo was the lack of grain and grass, they fled eastward, although they avoided the pursuit of the Tang army, but they lost the support of grain and grass, and fell into the predicament of no food.

Now the food they eat is all temporarily requisitioned from the people, and it is said that it is requisition, but in fact it is just a nice word, and it is the fact that it is forcibly taken.

Even at this point, Songtsen Gampo still did not give up. He still has trump cards in his hand, and two trump cards that can be fatal.

His brother Nanzhao has promised to send troops, and tens of thousands of fresh troops can completely suppress the Tang army in terms of troops. In addition, he also received news from Chang'an, learned about the Tang army's grain and grass transportation routes, and further learned the time and place, as long as the Tang army's baggage can be intercepted, the Tang army, which has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Tibet, will be unable to continue, and the whole army will be defeated.

Songtsen Gampo is now holding on here, waiting for this moment.

"Zampu, Lord Mengnan, King of Nanzhao is here." The voices of the guards were heard outside the camp gates.

Songtsen Gampo was shocked, straightened his clothes, and walked out of the camp to greet him with a big smile.

As soon as I saw it, a short but extremely strong black man, wearing a big tiger skin, naked and walking with great strides.

Songtsen Gampo saw that the smile on his face was even better, and he took two steps forward and said, "Brother, I can look forward to you." ”

The short and sturdy black man is Mengzhu, and he is also the first warrior of the Nanzhao Kingdom, he can hunt alone at the age of nine, slaughter wolves with his bare hands, and when he becomes an adult, he has the power to tear apart tigers and leopards, and he is brave and unmistakable. When he fought the White Barbarian in a decisive battle, he personally captured the White Barbarian leader alive and tore him in half.

Meng Nan strode to Songtsen Gampo's side, and said in a rough voice: "My brother has been bullied, how can I not come as an elder brother." Look at me, brother will avenge you......" He said with a big grin, his expression was extremely cordial.

Songtsen Gampo is very diplomatic, and after making friends with him, he married his last sister-in-law, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

In order to win over the suffering, Songtsen Gampo may have many benefits from Nanzhao, making the countries as close as a family.

Because of this, even against the behemoth of the Tang Dynasty, Meng Huang still chose to send troops without hesitation.

In fact, this is also due to Songtsen Gampo's old scheming, for many years the Southern Zhao have been the king of the white barbarians, while the barbarians are in charge of the military, although there is friction between them, there is no major contradiction after all.

This is also in line with the national conditions of Nanzhao, the white barbarians know the culture and can better govern the country, and the barbarians are brave and marching and fighting, which is their forte.

It is also because of their mutual cooperation that even figures like Songtsen Gampo are difficult to achieve in the native territory of Nanzhao.

Songtsen Gampo thought that the white barbarians were too treacherous and unrealistic, and that an alliance with them would not bring the greatest benefits, on the contrary, most of the black barbarians were well-limbed and simple-minded, and could better control them.

Especially the general Meng Difficulty, who is an iron-clad man, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and does not have any fancy, this kind of person is the best to be at the mercy of.

So Songtsen Gampo secretly created friction between the white barbarians and the black barbarians, making the two tribes opposed, and finally forced Meng Nan to launch a rebellion, ending the hundred years of rule of the white barbarians.

Songtsen Gampo also took advantage of the unintentional characteristics of suffering and befriended him, and the two sides established a supreme friendship.

Therefore, when he heard that Songtsen Gampo was in trouble, he didn't care about the interests of the country, but only felt that his brothers were suffering and had to help, and as for the interests of the country, a big boss would not consider it, and directly prepared swords, intending to help his brother and brother-in-law.

If it weren't for Songtsen Gampo's request, the army he led would have entered Tibet and fought side by side with Tibet.

Songtsen Gampo was defeated without a battle and fell into a Jedi without food, so he could only ask for help from Meng.

This tribulation is also righteous enough, not to mention letting people bring some food and grass to support, because they were careful about the safety of their brothers, and they also ran away in person.

Songtsen Gampo welcomed Meng Jian into the tent, and said with a look of shame: "That Duhe is cunning and really difficult to deal with, he did not dare to fight me head-on, but he hid behind his back, and let people burn all my supplies, forcing me to fall into such a situation, and shame me." ”

Meng Nan's eyes were also angry, because of Songtsen Gampo's instigation, he had no good impression of the Chinese people, the ancestors of the white barbarians. In addition, he is straightforward and hates conspiracies, listening to what Songtsen Gampo said, several different emotions converged, and he said indignantly: "I have long heard that the Central Plains people are deceitful, and they are really more hateful than imagined...... Brother, don't worry, even if I, the elder brother, fight for my life, I will get justice for you. I'll go back and lead the troops here to avenge you. ”

Songtsen Gampo hurriedly grabbed the martyrdom and said movingly: "My brother's kindness is appreciated by my brother, but this can't be done." The Tang soldiers were numerous and good at trickery. With my brother's ability, there is no problem in dealing with them. The difficulty is that they will not compete with their brother in an open and honest face-to-head battle...... Brother duty, even if he has that strength, it is difficult to exert it. If you get on the road, what if you do? ”

"This ......" also knew that he was not good at using his brain, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Songtsen Gampo laughed in a low voice: "I have a way here to force the Tang army to fight head-on with my brother, recently I got the news that the Tang army's grain team will arrive in the near future, as long as my brother can intercept the Tang army's grain and grass, the Tang army will fall into a situation where there is no food." At that time, why don't you come to the door in person to fight your brother to the death? ”

Meng Nan was a little disdainful of using such a method, and his face was a little embarrassed.

Songtsen Gampo persuaded: "I know that my brother is upright, but the Tang army is treacherous, and we are just using the same means to deal with them." In fact, the younger brother originally planned to do it himself, but because of the affection of the eldest brother, he persuaded the eldest brother to send troops. He paused and said, "I know that my eldest brother has not had a good time recently, because of the civil strife, Nanzhao's economy has suffered heavy losses, and all kinds of materials are seriously lacking. My country in Tibet is small and weak, and I really can't fully support it. Whenever I think of this, I feel guilty and feel sorry for my incompetence. But Datang is different, Datang has a lot of resources and countless materials. That little bit of material is equivalent to a sapling in the jungle for them, and it is not enough to worry about at all. Isn't it beautiful that my brother took it just to be able to relieve the people of Nanzhao? ”

Meng Nan was greatly moved, and he didn't expect Songtsen Gampo to think about him so far, and thought: "Sure enough, it's a good brother, think about me everywhere......" and immediately moved: "What the brother said is, but I, as a brother, can't take advantage of you, and we will share half of what we get." ”

Songtsen Gampo was overjoyed, with the help of the power of Nanzhao, it was already the only hope to defeat the Tang Dynasty.

He has seen the strength of the Nanzhao soldiers, the Nanzhao people live in the mountains and forests, mainly beasts, foot combat, forest combat strength, can be described as unparalleled in the world. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is dominated by hills, and the terrain is undulating, which is the place where the Nanzhao soldiers exert their strength, and with their shots, the victory rate can reach as high as eighty percent.

Aomi Road, night.

Zuotun Wei Cangcao joined the army, Pei Xingjian sat in the military tent and quietly flipped through the military book "Six Army Mirrors". This "Mirror of the Six Armies" is a military book written by Li Jing, the god of war, with his own experience in battle.

Pei Xingjian can also be regarded as a famous family, and his ancestors are the Pei family of the famous Sanjin family. His father, Pei Renji, was a doctor of Zuo Guanglu at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and his eldest brother Pei Xingyan was a fierce general, known as the "Ten Thousand Enemies", which is the prototype of Pei Yuanqing in the novel.

After the Sui was destroyed, the Pei family joined Wang Shichong's camp and fought for Wang Shichong in the south and the north. Pei Lian, who instigated Li Yuan to rebel, was a member of the Pei clan, and he was related to Pei Xingjian, which made them suspicious of Wang Shichong. In the second year of Tang Gaozu Wude, Pei Renji's father and son conspired to abandon Wang to the Tang Dynasty, were betrayed and killed, and "exterminated the three clans", only Pei Xingjian survived in the world as a posthumous son.

As soon as Pei Xingjian was born, he was burdened with a family's blood feud and hope for revival, but before he could reach adulthood, all his enemies died, and the revival family became his target. Because he is a descendant of a famous family and an orphan of martyrs, Pei Xingjian was taken care of and cultivated by the imperial court, became a Hongwensheng as a shadow student, and relied on the merits of his father and brother to become an official apprentice in the national talent training base. Later, he passed the Ming Sutra and officially embarked on a career as an official.

Pei Xingjian can be said to be unlucky, but it can also be said to be lucky. He is like a pearl buried in the dirt, covered in dust, unable to exert his own strength. However, he was lucky enough to meet someone, his teacher Su Dingfang.

As Li Jing's high-footed, Su Dingfang discovered Pei Xingjian's ability, accepted him as an apprentice, and passed on the "Six Army Mirrors" awarded to him by Li Jing.

Pei Xingjian is also like a sponge absorbing water, frantically absorbing these hard-won knowledge.

This southern expedition to Tibet has a great deal to do with it, and no matter what small link it is, it must be taken seriously.

In particular, the matter of grain and grass is even more important.

What made *** lose his eyes was that the grain and grass escort officers ordered by Li Shimin were not those experienced veterans, but Pei Xingjian...... An unknown young general.
