Chapter 12 Withdrawal

Nepal is very small, with many mountains and dense forests, and the country is small and weak, and the Tang Dynasty will not be of much help to the Tang Dynasty, which can be ignored. However, no one thinks that there is little land, which is a great thing, and Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo looked at each other and reached an agreement.

"What do you need?" Geshuhan asked.

Nepal's surrender must have something to ask for, and this matter must be clarified first.

"Let Datang dispose of it." The messenger replied cautiously.

It turned out to be an unconditional surrender, and it seems that Nepal was really frightened by the Tang Dynasty.

It's no wonder that compared with Tibet, Nepal is 108,000 miles away, and even a powerful plateau country like Tibet was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, so can little Nepal not be afraid?

Tibet is not the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, and what can Nepal use as a bargaining chip.

"Really?" Li Changguo asked again.

"I heard that Datang is rich and generous, if Datang can let me live in Chang'an, it is enough." The envoy was stunned and asked for conditions for the king of Nepal.

This condition is not a condition at all, as long as Nepal is sincere in surrendering, the Tang Dynasty will definitely deal with it in this way, and will recruit the king of Nepal to Chang'an, give him a beautiful field mansion, and let him eat and drink well for a lifetime.

"That's right." Ge Shuhan nodded heavily and said, "You can rest assured that Datang will never treat people loyal to Datang badly." As long as the king of Nepal sincerely surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, his request will be satisfied. ”

"Xie Dashuai, Xie Jianjun." The envoy was overjoyed, his lowered head was finally raised, and he looked at Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo, his face was full of excitement, red light, and he looked at the two as if he was looking at his ancestors.

The richness of the Tang Dynasty is famous all over the world, and it is a great honor to be a Tang person. The prosperity of Chang'an, the name shocks the world, looking at the sky, although there is such a strong country as Tubo and Dashi, but the capital of Tubo and Dashi is far from being compared with Chang'an, if you can settle in Chang'an, it is a great good thing, and the ancestors have accumulated blessings in eight lifetimes.

Nepal is too poor, even poorer than Tibet, and if it can settle in Chang'an, it will be a great temptation for the king of Nepal, and it is no wonder that the envoy is so happy.

"What the marshal said, it will definitely be fulfilled, you can rest assured." Li Changguo strengthened his heart and said: "You know about the Tang Dynasty's extermination of the Turks. Jieli took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty to enslave the Central Plains and force Gaozu to be a minister, and after the Tang Dynasty captured him alive, he did not kill him, let alone treat him badly, sealed him as a high-ranking official, gave him a beautiful house, and let him live in Chang'an. The king of Nepal is sincerely obedient, and Datang can't treat him badly, and will definitely let him live comfortably in Chang'an. ”

Jieli Khan took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty to enslave the Central Plains, and I don't know how many people in the Central Plains died under the Turkic sword. What made the Tang Dynasty most angry was that when Gaozu Li Yuan Taiyuan raised troops, he had to pay tribute to Jieli. is so deeply hateful, the Tang Dynasty captured Jieli Khan alive, and did not kill him, but named him a high-ranking official, gave him a beautiful house, and let him die of old age.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty just wanted Jieli Khan to dance. Whenever there was a grand celebration, the Tang Dynasty would have Jieli Khan dance a Turkic dance to cheer up, which made him even more uncomfortable than killing him. Eventually, Jieli Khan was so angry that he died of depression.

Nepal was no threat to the Tang Dynasty, and even surrendered on its own initiative, and the Tang Dynasty would never let him dance for fun. As long as he does his job, it won't be a problem for him to live comfortably.

"Xie Jianjun." Of course, the envoy knew about Jieli Khan, and was overjoyed, and a hanging heart finally fell to the ground.

The rest of the matter was much simpler, and the envoy gave a comprehensive account of the situation in Nepal. Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo consulted with the generals for a while, and sent a general to lead 2,000 troops into Nepal to garrison. At the same time, the king of Nepal should come to Luo as soon as possible, because the Tang army was about to retreat, and they could go to Chang'an together.

The messenger said yes to this.

Ge Shuhan gave an order, and 2,000 Tang troops were guided by envoys and marched towards Nepal.

As soon as Nepal had completed the handling of this matter, Li Longji's will had arrived. This will has two main meanings, one is to formally agree to the destruction of Tianzhu, which will be handled by Ge Shuhan, and ask him to choose the opportunity to dispatch.

This is to give Ge Shuhan full power, Ge Shuhan is very excited, and he must destroy Tianzhu.

The other is to urge Li Changguo to withdraw his troops as soon as possible, because the situation in the Anxi Protectorate is very bad, and no one can say how long Gao Xianzhi can hold out, and the Tang army will withdraw to the land of Hehuang as soon as possible to rest. After the celebration of pacifying Tibet, the Tang Dynasty was going to march westward and fight a big war with the Great Food.

The Tang Army's westward advance must be completed before the fall of the four towns of Anxi, otherwise, there will be big trouble.

With the national strength of the Tang Dynasty and the strong combat power of the Tang Army, even if the four towns of Anxi fell, the Tang Dynasty was not afraid and could take it back. However, it will take a lot of effort, there will be a lot of casualties, and there will be a lot of cost. Advancing westward before the fall of the four towns of Anxi would have avoided such losses.

Of course, there is a greater benefit, that is, it should cooperate with Gao Xianzhi inside and outside, and deal a heavy blow to Da Shi, which has great benefits.

After receiving the order, Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo gathered the generals to discuss the withdrawal of the troops.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have achieved complete success in the first battle of pacifying Tibet!" Ge Shuhan glanced at the generals, and saw that all the generals held their heads high, puffed up their chests, and rejoiced, as if they had won another big victory.

The withdrawal of troops is the signal that the pacification of Tibet has been truly completed, which indicates that the first battle of Tibet is truly over, and the generals will not be happy.

"Huh!" The generals laughed as if they had eaten honey.

"The land of Tibet, China has not been included in the territory for thousands of years, so miraculous achievements in the hands of our generation, this is our great glory, if life is like this, what a regret!" Ge Shuhan was very excited, and he felt honored to be able to lead the army and accomplish such a great cause for the ages.

"If life is like this, what regrets will the husband have!" The crowd responded in unison, and the sound was like thunder.

"Your Majesty's will has arrived, so we will withdraw our troops." Ge Shuhan raised his eyebrows and said, "The retreating brothers will rest in the land of the river, and after pacifying the Tubo celebration, they will leave for the Western Regions." The remaining brothers, after the situation in Tibet is stabilized, will destroy Tianzhu, and those who are willing to stay will speak. ”

The generals pursed their lips tightly, for fear of making a little noise, and the huge handsome tent was silent.

"What's wrong? Aren't you interested in destroying Tianzhu? Ge Shuhan raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.

The generals still did not speak.

"Those who are willing to retreat, speak." Li Changguo glanced at the generals and asked loudly.

"Retreat, retreat." The crowd responded in unison, and there was not a single one who did not speak.

"You ......" Ge Shuhan pointed at the generals, very angry: "Dashi is a battle, Tianzhu is also a battle, why is no one willing to stay?" ”

Although there is a battle to destroy Tianzhu, however, Tianzhu is divided and the national strength is too weak. Who wants to stay?

Not to mention, the Tang Dynasty has been fighting with the Great Eclipse for decades, and it is finally possible to concentrate its forces to fight the Great Eclipse, this must be an earth-shattering war, if you can participate, it is a supreme beautiful thing, who wants to choose to destroy Tianzhu?

"Handsome, don't be annoyed, don't be annoyed." Li Changguo waved his hand and teased: "It's not your fault, it's just that there is a problem with your appearance." ”

"Ugh." This is originally a matter of big battles and small wars, why is it related to looks again? Geshuhan was speechless.

"Haha!" The generals laughed in unison, so happy that it was rare to see Ge Shuhan holding back.

"Dashuai, look at you, you are a tiger-backed bear-waisted, and you are a scary lord at a glance. Like me, handsome and abnormal, I can fascinate many little girls. Li Changguo puffed up his chest and stinked fart.

The generals forced their laughter and pursed their lips, not daring to laugh out loud. Whether to go or stay, Li Changguo has the final say, and no one dares to provoke him.

"The prison army is so stinky!" But there are people who don't have long eyes and muttered in a low voice, it is none other than Li Sheng.

"Li Sheng, do you dare to say that I am stinky and beautiful?" Li Changguo's ear voice was excellent, his eyes rolled, and he said with a burst of light: "Okay, you stay with Dashuai." ”

"Nope! You can't do that, Prisoner. Li Sheng was startled and screamed.

"That's it." Li Changguo waved his hand, unquestionable.

"Jian Jun, I was wrong, you are very handsome, Pan An is reborn, Song Yu is reborn, and it is not as good as you." Li Sheng's eyes rolled, and he was busy patting Li Changguo's ass.

"It's too late." Lee Chang-kook was unwavering.

"Prison Army, you can't do this, you have to raise your noble hand." Li Sheng was extremely complaining, like a resentful woman.

The generals looked at Li Sheng and couldn't help but laugh, Li Changguo had chosen him early in the morning and wanted him to stay, but it was just a change of easy way, he didn't even understand it.

"Li Sheng, don't say anything more, the prison army has already asked you to stay." Li Bai really couldn't bear him to beg anymore and reminded him.

"Why?" Li Sheng is still unwilling.

"Who told you not to be good at planning?" Li Bai patted Li Sheng's shoulder and said with some sympathy: "You think, Tianzhu is a battle, there is no big war, and it's okay if you don't plan well." It's different from the big food war, you have to be good at planning. You don't want to think about it, how big is the big food? The Great Food has a territory of thousands of miles, many mouths, rich and generous, the army is well-trained, and the elite is good at fighting, and the war with the Great Food will not be over in one or two wars, but will go through one big battle after another. ”

Li Bai said it right, the territory of Dashi is too big, from the Mediterranean Sea in the west to the Western Regions in the east, this is the territory of ten thousand miles, not smaller than the Tang Dynasty at all. In addition, the Great Eclipse has a large population, is very rich, the army is well-trained, and the elite is good at fighting, once a big war starts, it will not be a battle or two battles that can decide the winner, it will inevitably be a series of big wars.

"The most important thing is that there are many heroes and heroes, the most famous of which are the Governors of the East and the Governors of the West, as well as the Caliphs. Outside of this, we don't know how many heroes and heroes we don't know. In a battle with Dashi, Datang must be a good soldier to have a chance of winning. Li Bai pointed at Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, and said with a smile: "The two of them are very good at planning and using soldiers, they are more suitable for big food than you." ”

Li Sheng was so surprised that he didn't say anything for a long time, Li Bai's words were too reasonable.

"Not only Li Sheng is like this, anyone who can only fight and kill, and go on a rampage, will stay and destroy Tianzhu." Li Changguo took over the conversation and said loudly: "Only those who have a flexible mind, are good at using soldiers, and have the courage to fight can participate in the big battle with Dashi." ”

Almost all of the Tang troops withdrawn from Tibet were involved in the battle with the Great Eclipse, and the current withdrawal is the soldiers who chose to fight the Great Eclipse. Ge Shuhan and Li Changguo worked together, and it took a day to complete this matter.

What could have been done with an order was delayed for a day, mainly because the generals who stayed behind were unwilling and always chased after them to intercede, which took so long.
