Chapter Seventy-Five: The Last Clan

"Traitors mislead the country!" The generals of the Mo clan cursed indignantly in their tents. Today, in front of Zampu, the younger brother of the tribal leader was beheaded in public, and was regarded as extremely unfair treatment by the Mo clan, and everyone's feelings were naturally not good. Of course, Lang seems to be very fair in this matter.

The leader of the Mo clan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, but he did not speak, closed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something. At first, he was very happy when he scolded Lang's "traitorous villain" in front of Zampu, but now he is very calm in front of his own people. Everyone focused their eyes on him and revered him. This leader of theirs was indeed very human, fluent in Chinese, Tubo, Xianbei and the two languages of the Western Regions, and often read Han Chinese books, and was regarded as a wise man.

Mo sighed, only to feel that he was now lifeless, and there was no longer the beautiful sacred chant in his ears (the wizard who accompanied the army was killed by the rebels), and he felt a little dull. After a while, the Mo clan spoke: "After the old leader of the Lang clan passed away, the successor is a villain, except for flattery in front of Zampu, everyone can see it with bright eyes, and there is no need to say more." ”

He paused and said sternly: "But at present, we should no longer compete with the Lang clan, and wait for the class master to think about it in the long run." ”

A subordinate general said: "The head man is really a broad-minded person, and he is afraid that the Lang clan will provoke if he has nothing to do." ”

Mo Shi muttered: "Wherever you can tolerate it, try to tolerate it, if the enemy can't work together at the moment, it won't be good for anyone." Although our Tibetan army is outnumbered, we must know our weaknesses. So many tribes gathered together to obey Zampu's orders, because we often sent troops to obtain rich booty and land expansion, and once we stopped and could not get more benefits, we would cause civil strife because of various injustices. Look at the situation now, on the surface, we and the Lang clan are not in harmony because of personal grievances, but in fact, we are ......divided because of the loss of the battle."

Everyone stared at him with round eyes and half understanding, just like a bodhisattva, occasionally nodding but not understanding.

Mo Shi also said: "Tubo is facing a critical situation, and there is only one way to maintain the present: defeat the Tang army, seize the fertile pastures in the West Sea of the Yellow River Valley, rob the cattle and sheep property of the Tuyuhun people, and then take the opportunity to attack and plunder the rich Longyou Plain of the Tang Dynasty." Only in this way can we see the great benefits, and Tubo can grow again! ”

"Head...... Leader, the Tang army in the past two years has been like a wolf and a tiger, and it is very difficult to deal with...... "The generals were so shocked by the Mo clan's high-minded talk that they couldn't say anything.

Mo shook his head and said: "The time and place are favorable, although we lost this battle, we did not break our muscles and bones, and it is not difficult to find that the Tang army is just lucky to win." Even luck aside, there was another reason, and they relied on the fortifications to the east. For example, in the first encounter, the Tang army was defeated and ran away, and soon fled back to the fortifications. He also said that the last incident that almost wiped out the Shence army, and suddenly reinforcements arrived, if it wasn't near the Tang Realm, how could the reinforcements arrive so quickly?

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that if this battle is far away from the Tang Realm, the result will definitely not be like this! The Tang army has been completely annihilated several times! Therefore, the strategy I advocate is to lure the enemy deep and let the Tang army leave the Longyou border, so that they not only have no barriers, but also have a long supply line of grain and grass. If they don't fight well, they will have to suffer heavy losses!

The Tang Dynasty claimed to have a territory of 100,000,000 miles and a population of 100 million yuan, but the border line was also long, and most of the people in the country were mainly agricultural, so it took a long time to recruit and form an army with combat effectiveness. As long as the soldiers and horses from Longyou are annihilated, at least within a few years, their armed forces on our eastern front will be greatly reduced, and the Longyou Plain and even the areas east of it can only let our army plunder fish and meat, isn't it happy? ”

The end of the clan and the generals agreed, and restrained the subordinates to forbearance, so that the contradiction between the two clans eased, and the Emperor Dezu praised him greatly when he heard the news, so he rewarded some cattle and sheep, and summoned them into the king's tent.

In the Chinese army, he picked up a big tent again as the king's tent, but whether it was the momentum or the decoration was not as good as before, this was no way, the totem decoration and other things in the previous king's tent were left by the previous generations of Zampu's great achievements, how can the temporary construction be compared? This really made De Zuzan depressed for many days, and when he saw his royal tent, he would be bored.

After the Mo clan entered the account, he said his strategic plan, that is, to let the Tang people's ambitions swell and light the enemy's rashness, and then seize the fighter plane to defeat and expand the results of the battle in one fell swoop.

Originally, he still wanted to implement the previous plan, which was to surrender to the Tuyuhun people first, but after the Mo clan put forward a new idea, he thought it was reasonable, so he discussed with the ministers to revise the strategy and prepare to deal with the main force of the Tang army first.

A few days later, the Tibetan king's tent determined his idea, so he pulled out the camp and retreated southward, and the battalions went south from the west of the Yellow River to the vicinity of Wuhai City. The pressure on the Tuyuhun people was greatly reduced, and only after confirming the situation did they disperse the cattle, sheep and horses from the pastures near the West Sea.

The Tang army did not go to battle immediately, this battlefield is changing rapidly, there has been a contest between life and death, and the main force of the Tang army has not yet been fully assembled.

As the Tubo slowed down their pace and took the initiative to retreat, the Tang army was also unable to launch a new round of attack, and the shape became more and more relaxed from tight to loose. Xue Chongxun led the Shence army to Shancheng for repairs, and all kinds of baggage supplies were also transported west from Shanzhou, Longyou County, and the civilian officials of the "Erling" shogunate regiment also rushed over.

After counting the losses in Shancheng, the Shence Army can be said to have suffered a certain amount of vitality, more than 3,000 were killed and missing, countless wounded and half of the personnel were temporarily lost their combat effectiveness, and many seriously injured were sent to Shanzhou in the rear to recuperate. The horses suffered heavy losses, more than half of the horses died and lost the ability to charge, which could only be used to pull carts, and the ordnance was lost by eighty or ninety...... This force of troops and horses almost completely lost their combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

At this time, the shogunate officials were busy, counting casualties and losses, recording and reporting battle exploits in detail, arranging the deployment of war horses and ordnance, etc., compensating the casualties and rewarding the meritorious.

Xue Chongxun felt that these people followed their birth and death, and it was not enough to reward and bereavement according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, so he repaired the book to Tuyuhun to blackmail, ready to let the soldiers divide. Then he ordered the official prostitutes and camp prostitutes from the surrounding cities of Shanzhou and Shancheng to be transferred to the military camp, and indulged the soldiers to lead the troops to rob the Qinglou wine shop, and got a lot of young women, wine and meat to the barracks......
