Chapter 2 Divide the Forces

The cheers finally stopped, and the soldiers were still happy, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces. To be able to participate in such a war of annihilation in this life, I am satisfied, so satisfied.

Ge Shuhan, Li Changguo, Li Bai, Guo Ziyi, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng, Wang Wei, and other generals gathered together to discuss military aircraft.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Tubo has been destroyed by us, which is a great joy, but the matter of Tubo is not over yet." Ge Shuhan glanced at the generals, only to see that the generals were happy with their mouths split, and couldn't help but pour cold water on them and said: "It is happy to destroy Tubo, but it is only the beginning, and there are still many things waiting for us to do." Put away your joy and do things with all your heart. ”

"Obey." The generals responded with a bang, their faces scolded, and the smile on their faces disappeared.

"Let's talk about what we have to do right now." Goshuhan consulted the generals. Whenever an order is given, Geshuhan has to consult the opinions of the generals and fully grasp it before giving the order, which is the virtue of Geshuhan.

"Great handsome, you have to report to Your Majesty for your victory, so that Your Majesty will be happy." The generals shouted in unison.

"Yes, it will happen. Come, report to Your Majesty. Ge Shuhan stroked his forehead, and almost forgot such an important matter. He was so happy that he forgot about such a big event.

Immediately, a group of Tang troops led the order, rode horses, galloped away, and their roar was heard from afar: "Tubo victory!" Capture Zampu alive, big talk, small talk, whole thing ......"

Listening to the cheerful roar, the faces of the generals were smiling again, and they were bubbling with beauty.

"Humph!" Li Changguo snorted coldly, and the generals' faces sank, and their smiles disappeared for a moment.

At present, when discussing post-war matters, if you only focus on rejoicing, you may forget about a few things, and it will be a big trouble.

"Tibet has been broken, we should divide our troops." Li Sheng raised his throat and roared loudly, like Hong Zhong Dalu.

"That's right. Now is not the time, but when? The generals echoed in unison.

"Finally got down to business." Li Guangbi patted Li Sheng on the shoulder and teased, causing the generals to laugh in unison.

Li Sheng's heart is straightforward, he didn't say anything about the war, if he wants to say that the plan is far behind, he often misses nine out of ten schemes, but this time he got to the point.

In this battle, the elite of Tubo was lost, and even the ministers of Zampu, Da Lun, Xiao Lun, and the Whole Matter were captured alive by the Tang army, and there were no troops to defend various places, which was a good opportunity for the Tang army to divide its troops and strategize the territory.

It is conceivable that if the Tang army had divided its troops at this time, there would have been no decent resistance, and as long as the Tang army arrived, the land of Tibet would have become the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The prospect was wonderful, and the generals were smiling.

"What else?" Geshuhan asked.

"There are so many corpses in the city, they should be disposed of as soon as possible, otherwise, once they decompose, it will cause a plague with unimaginable consequences." Li Sheng thought about it and said again.

"It's really grown." Li Changguo gave a thumbs up and praised it.

Li Sheng's head was raised, his chest was straight, he smiled modestly, and the smile on his face was layered layer after layer, which means that of course I have grown.

"There are hundreds of thousands of corpses under the city of Luo, and there are many in the city, if you don't deal with it as soon as possible, once it decays, it will cause a plague, and this matter must be done quickly." Li Guangbi nodded in agreement and said, "There are a lot of people needed at this time. ”

"Hmm." Ge Shuhan nodded slightly.

"This is something that can be done by the suffering brothers, and we just need to oversee it." Guo Ziyi thought further, and even arranged the manpower.

"What Guo Wudi said is extremely true." The crowd will praise in unison.

Since the slaves were freed, their gratitude to the Tang Dynasty was beyond words, and they were always looking forward to doing things for the Tang Army and serving the Tang Dynasty.

"That's all?" Li Changguo asked.

"Almost." The generals thought about it and made no more suggestions.

"Dashuai, let's arrange the matter of the land first, and then we'll talk about the rest of the matter." Of all things, the division of forces is the most important and should be carried out first.

Ge Shuhan nodded heavily and said, "Guo Wuving, you lead an army of 50,000 to the south." Li Guangbi, you lead an army of 50,000 to the east. Li Hanlin, you lead an army of 50,000 to the west. Li Sheng, you lead an army of 30,000 and head north. ”

Of these four directions, only the north has the least land, because the Tang army fought from the north, and with an army of 30,000, it is almost the same.

"Yes." Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Guangbi and Li Sheng received the order in unison, saluted Brother Shuhan and Li Changguo, and walked away quickly.

Not long after, the 180,000 Tang Army, led by the four of them, rumbled out and rushed in four directions, east, west, north and south, and a large-scale slight operation began.

"Prison Army, this matter of disposing of the corpse should be handed over to Wang Wei. He is proficient in this way, and it is fitting that it will be handed over to him. Ge Shuhan is full of praise for Wang Wei's management skills.

"Okay." Li Changguo also has this intention, so naturally he will not object.

"Wang Wei takes the order." Wang Wei stepped forward and shouted his orders.

Wang Wei turned around and went to work, and not long after, hundreds of thousands of slaves began to dispose of corpses under Wang Wei's command. Mass graves were dug in the nearby wilderness, and then the bodies were brought in, thrown into the pits, sprinkled with a thick layer of lime, and buried.

With so many corpses, if there is no lime disinfection, even if they are buried, it will be of little use, and the corpse gas will seep out and cause disease.

Hundreds of thousands of corpses, to be cleaned, transported, to be buried, it takes a lot of time, although there are many slaves, it is not something that can be done in a short time, it can only be done step by step.

"Supervising the army, the land of Tubo is too poor, and the Tang Dynasty can't garrison too many troops here, and the matter of garrisoning Tubo still needs to be completed by Tubo people. I mean, what do you think of the selection of a group of strong, faithful and reliable men from among the Tibetan slaves, training them, equipping them, and allowing them to assist our garrison? Ge Shuhan stared at Li Changguo.

Tibet is very poor, so poor that only yak dung is left, and it is impossible to garrison a large number of troops here, so you can only rely on the strength of Tubo to complete the garrison.

To rely on the strength of the Tibetans, of course, it was necessary to gather a group of strong, loyal and reliable people to train, arm them, and let them assist the Tang army. Only in this way can we save a lot of manpower and material resources, and we can also achieve the purpose of garrisoning Tibet.

"That's what I thought too." Li Changguo also meant this, and the two thought of a piece.

"That's good, just leave this matter to Long Wujun to do." Ge Shuhan immediately summoned Li Yi and handed over the matter to them.

The Longwu Army was the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty, and if they went to train, they would definitely train a strong and loyal and reliable Tubo army to serve the Tang Dynasty.

"We have two other things to do." Li Changguo raised his eyebrows and said, "One is to prepare for the reconstruction of Tibet." Tubo was defeated by us, if it can't be incorporated into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, our efforts will only be in vain. Therefore, we should start to rebuild Tibet. This reconstruction needs to start from two aspects, one is to rebuild the city of Luo, and the other is to select officials to govern Tibet. ”

After all, it was the capital of Tibet, and although it had been reduced to ruins, it had a good geographical location, and if it was rebuilt, it would be of great help to the Tang Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, in Luo, some storage of grain, grass and ordnance, garrison the army, once there is something in other parts of Tibet, the Tang army can quickly dispatch and rush everywhere.

Tubo was destroyed, and the original official system in Tubo could not be used. The old bureaucracy was to work for Zamp, and they would only be loyal to Zamp. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to gain Tibet, it had to change the existing official system and promote and elect a group of talented people loyal to the Tang Dynasty to govern.

Most of these people should be Tibetans, and the number of Tang people will not be too large, but they must be in a dominant position, so as to ensure that there is no chaos in Tibet.

"Hmm." Ge Shuhan nodded heavily, greatly agreeing with Li Changguo's words, and asked, "What about the other one?" ”

"In my opinion, it is difficult to raise a large amount of grain and grass in the hinterland of Tibet, and it is not possible to garrison too many troops. If the garrison is too small, and it cannot play a deterrent role, we should station heavy troops in Dafeichuan. Once there is something in the hinterland of Tibet, the army can be quickly reinforced from Dafeichuan. Therefore, if you build a road in the rocky mountain, as long as the road is repaired, this thing can be carried out. Li Changguo said with a frown.

Tibet was too poor, and although the hinterland was not small, it was difficult to raise the grain and grass needed by the army, and the number of this garrison could not be too much. In a place as big as Tibet, if there is not enough army to deter it, don't you want to mess up?

There are too many difficulties to solve this problem. Dafeichuan is very rich, it can raise the grain and grass needed by the army, and the Dafeichuan garrisoned by the army can save a lot of manpower and material resources, and once there is something in the hinterland of Tibet, the Tang army can quickly reinforce.

Of course, a road must be built to connect the hinterland of Tibet with the Dafeichuan River.

This is a good plan, Ge Shuhan said happily: "That's right." In this battle, we captured hundreds of thousands of captives, almost all of them Ding Zhuang, and it would be better to ask them to build the road. ”

In the first battle, almost all the people in Tibet who couldn't stand starvation died, the old and weak died almost, and the rest were all those who could stand hunger, mostly Ding Zhuang, and it was better to use them to build roads.

The reason why Li Changguo and the others finally surrendered these captives, instead of killing them all, also meant that they were asked to do coolies.

This matter was decided, and Li Changguo and the others began to prepare and prepare to do a big job.

Ge Shuhan gave an order, and hundreds of thousands of prisoners were driven into the city by the Tang army and began to clean up the ruins in the city. Although they were unwilling, they looked at the Tang Army, which was armed to the teeth, and did not dare not do it, and began to clean up.

At this time, the city was already in ruins, full of dead bodies, and it was too messy for the slaves to clean up in a short time, and it was better to drive the captives away.

Under the supervision of the Don Army, the captives did not dare to be lazy. If they are lazy, eating the whip will come second, and the key is that they are afraid that Tang Jun will not give them food.

In order to solve the problem of not working hard, Li Changguo proposed the method of exchanging work for food, that is, the more you do, the more food you get. For the sake of food, the captives did not dare not do their best, who told them to be hungry and afraid?

For the sake of food, the captives worked desperately, and within a few days, they were cleared out. The corpses outside the city were all disposed of, just waiting to be rebuilt.
