Du Songmanbu's words were impassioned, very powerful, and very motivating, but the ministers pursed their lips and did not respond. It's not that they don't want to, it's that they know very well that it's just a nice way to put it.

If it were ordinary Tibetan people, they would definitely be very happy and cheer when they heard this, but as the ruling class of Tubo, they knew too much about the Battle of Dafeichuan that year. That's right, Tubo won that battle, it was a tragic victory, and Tubo was terrified because of the victory.

In that battle, if the grain and grass of the Tang army were still there, Tubo would definitely fail; Or Xue Rengui's troops are a little more, not too much, more than 20,000, and the defeat must be Tubo.

Now that the war is going on again, Tubo really has no chance of winning.

Du Song Mangbujie saw the reaction of the ministers, but he didn't blame it, because he knew it very well in his heart.

"Before the war, we have to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty and protect Dafeichuan without a fight as much as possible." Du Song Mangbu continued.

"Zampu is wise." The big arguments, the small arguments, and the whole thing agree in unison.

In the war with the Tang Dynasty, Tubo did not have much chance of winning, this is the conclusion reached at the cost of blood. It would be best if the Great Fei River could be preserved through the guò peace talks.

"Zampu, peace talks are a good thing, but will the Tang people agree?" Some ministers are very ignorant, and they have raised a very practical question.

"Yes. In the war with the Tang Dynasty, the Great Tubo has no chance of winning, and the Tang Dynasty is likely to get the Great Feichuan, what can we talk about? Immediately, the minister agreed.

Negotiation requires bargaining chips, and Tubo has no bargaining chips in his hands, how can he negotiate with the Tang Dynasty?

This is a very real problem, if not solved. There is no way to negotiate.

"This ......" Du Song Mangbu Knot was asked. I was stunned for a long time. Only then did he say: "Except for Da Fei Chuan, which can't be discussed, everything else is easy to say." The Tang people wanted cattle, sheep, horses, gold and silver, and were as satisfied as possible. ”

Dafeichuan is too important to be lost. As for the rest, cattle, sheep, horses, gold, silver and pearls, although precious, they are not indispensable. Now Tibet. There is only this bargaining chip.

"Let's leave this matter to the trivia. You've done a good job of forming an alliance with Big Food. Du Song Mangbu knotted and turned his head and said to Xiao.

Xiao Tan was stunned, and he was terrified, negotiating with the Tang Dynasty at this time, it was jumping into the fire pit, and he couldn't go. At this moment, he regretted it very much, he knew that this was the case, why should he brag about the alliance with the Great Food?

"Ahem. Zampu, the minister has been feeling a little unwell recently, and I am afraid that he will not be able to take on such a heavy task. Xiao Tan coughed. Tears are blooming, pretending to be very like. Out of breath.

"Hmph." Du Song Mangbu didn't know what he thought, he was very dissatisfied, and snorted coldly.

"Zampu, go ahead." The whole thing is on your own initiative.

"Seeing people's hearts for a long time, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, the Tang people are not wrong, when the country is in trouble, you will see loyal ministers, the whole thing, you are the loyal minister of Great Tubo." Du Song Mangbu was very surprised, and he was moved, and praised it.

At this moment, to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty is to jump into the fire pit, and it is very likely that there will be no return, and it is indeed rare for the whole thing to take the initiative to ask for help. Not only was Du Songmang Bujie moved, but even the ministers were also moved, looking at the whole thing, and greatly appreciated.

"I don't dare to say that I will succeed, but I will do my best." The whole thing is calm.

"Okay." The answer is already very clear, it is impossible for the ten ** to succeed, you can only do your best, the whole thing is very real, and Du Songmangbu is very satisfied.

"If you can't negotiate, and if you can't be defeated, you have to defend Jishi Mountain and prevent the Tang Army from going deep." Immediately after, Du Song Mangbu said loudly.

Jishi Mountain is the last line of defense of Tubo, if it falls into the hands of the Tang army, the capital of Tubo will be exposed, and the Tang army will attack Luo. Therefore, it became necessary to defend Jishi Mountain.

The ministers had no objection to this.

"Message: Mobilize the troops of the country and prepare for a big war with the Tang Dynasty." Du Song Mangbu knotted the last word.

Dafei Ridge is located in the southeast of the Dafei River, where the terrain is open.

"Rumble." The sound of thunderous hooves sounded, and I saw the Tang army coming like a sea tide.

Since the Tang army entered Dafeichuan, it has advanced along the lì, as if entering a no-man's land. In just a few days, I came to Dafeiling.

Li Longji rode on the back of the Night Lion King, looked at the open Dafei Ridge, and said, "It's really a good place." ”

"Prince, when we arrived here, we should pay tribute to the heroic souls who died that year." Zhang said a reminder.

"That's right." Chen Xuanli: They agreed in unison.

"Herald: Camp on the spot and prepare for the memorial." Of course, Li Longji would agree to this matter and immediately issue an order.

The Tang army stopped and began to camp, and soon, tents appeared in Dafeiling, horizontal rows, vertical columns, orderly, and a faction was purged.

Li Longji took Zhang Shuo and Chen Xuanli to Dafeiling, only to see white bones on the ground, everywhere.

"Guo is to be convicted and deserve death!" Li Longji saw it in his eyes and said angrily.

"Hey." If it weren't for Guo Beifeng's disobedience to military orders back then, there would not have been the defeat of Dafeichuan, let alone today's situation, and the generals sighed in unison.

"The court just demoted him to a commoner back then, which was so merciful that he should be put to death." Li Longji's anger did not decrease but increased: "For his own selfishness, he disobeyed military orders, resulting in the defeat of Dafeichuan, and the legacy is endless. If the first war had been successful and the imperial court had taken Dafeichuan, the Hexi Corridor would not have been threatened over the years, Tubo would not have been so strong, and we would not have to go to Dafeichuan today. ”

The impact of the Battle of Dafeichuan was too far-reaching, and until the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Dafeichuan could not be brought back. Although the Tang Dynasty made some achievements after many efforts, such as the capture of Shibao City, it still failed to conquer Dafeichuan in the end.

According to Xue Rengui's plan, he put the grain and grass in Dafeiling, and ordered Guo Beifeng to lead 10,000 Tang troops to guard it. The reason for this is that the road ahead is very dangerous and there is a miasma, so it is necessary to move forward quickly and not make mistakes. If you bring food and grass, it will slow down the march.

Xue Rengui prepared for him to lay a base in front, and then led the army back to meet Guo Beifeng and join forces together. Jointly escort grain and grass. There won't be a problem.

This is a very good plan. It was very much in line with the situation at the time.

However, Guo Zhifeng is the son of Guo Xiaoke, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty, who was born in the gate and looked down on Xue Rengui, a grassroots root, who did not carry out the order, and led the troops to advance with grain and grass without authorization.

After the Tubo got the news, the leader of the army led a heavy army to attack. Guo Beifeng couldn't resist it, and the grain and grass were seized by Tubo. If the Tibetan can't get away, they will be burned down.

When Xue Rengui got the news, it was too late to return to the army to rescue. Although before, the Tang army, under the command of Xue Rengui, fought very smoothly and captured several cities in a row, seeing that victory was in sight. However, the grain and grass were gone, and the shape took a sharp turn. The Don Army was in crisis.

Of course, Tubo will not miss this God-given opportunity and is ready to annihilate Xue Rengui. An army of 400,000 troops was dispatched to besiege it. Xue Rengui calmly responded to the battle and dealt a heavy blow to Tubo, and Da Xuan realized that it was impossible to completely annihilate Xue Rengui, so he had to take the initiative to negotiate with Xue Rengui and let Xue Rengui leave.

"Order: Collect the bones of the soldiers, and after the victory, bring them back to China for burial." Li Longji ordered loudly.

"The prince is wise." A chorus of praise rang out.

It is the voice of the soldiers to let the remains of these martyrs return to China and be buried in China, and they agree with Li Longji's move from the bottom of their hearts, or they will not be able to praise Li Longji.

At the sound of an order, the soldiers began to collect the remains, which took half a day to complete.

Then it's a matter of making some simple boxes and putting the bones together. Just wait for the victory to return to the country, bring it back to the country, and then make a coffin to converge.

Finally, a solemn memorial service was held to comfort these heroic souls who died in battle, and the Tang army came to avenge them.

"Prince, let's march immediately." As soon as the memorial service was over, Zhang Xiaofei immediately reminded: "General Xiaowei's revenge for the defeat of Dafeichuan, we must avenge it!" Be early in the morning! ”

"Yes, Prince." The generals echoed in unison.

Avenging Xue Rengui's defeat of Dafeichuan was exactly what the soldiers wanted, and they all looked at Li Longji with burning eyes.

"Zhang said, what do you think?" Li Longji looked at Zhang Shuo and asked.

"The prince is confident." Zhang said with a smile.

"Tell me." Li Longji was noncommittal.

"Alright then, I'll tell you about it." Zhang Shuo nodded and said: "The current situation, if you only take revenge with one arrow, and just take Dafeichuan, it is unprecedentedly good, and you only need to march quickly to complete it." If you look at it in the long run, it is not advisable to march quickly, but to march slowly. ”

"Slow march?"

"Zhang said, are you confused?"

"How can there be a reason to march slowly?"

The generals shouted and shouted, all of them puzzled.

"That's right, I'm in favor of a slow march." Chen Xuanli agreed.

"I'm in favor of it too." Yang Siqiao said.

Zhang Shuo, Chen Xuanli, and Yang Siqiao are extremely talented in military affairs, and their prestige in the army is very high, and the three of them unanimously agreed that they should march slowly, which is really surprising, and the generals were greatly surprised, and asked in unison: "Why?" ”

"It's simple." Li Longji took over the conversation and said: "If we just take Dafeichuan, we only need to march in one drum, and within a month, we will be able to take all Dafeichuan." However, the Tibetan army is still there, and it can use the high mountains and dense forests to attack us and harass us. We can use Dafeichuan as bait to fish out the Tibetan army and annihilate it with one blow. ”

Speaking of this, his voice turned higher and said: "Without the army, Tubo will break its guts, and it will no longer be able to disturb us." ”

"This ...... Good idea! ”

"Good idea, good idea!"

The generals were stunned for a moment, and then they praised in unison, and everyone was very happy.

Taking Dafeichuan can certainly achieve the goal of weakening Tibet. If the Tibetan army can be solved by the way, then it will be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty.

That would make Tibet weaker, and it would make Tibet break its guts, and within thirty or twenty years, it would not be able to harass the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty would be able to concentrate all its efforts on advancing westward and competing with the Arab Empire for Central Asia.

"In order to pose a huge threat to Tibet, we should send a general to lead the troops forward, so as to create an illusion that Dafeichuan will be taken by us soon, so that Tubo has to quickly transfer troops." Zhang said with an idea.

"That's right. This matter will be handed over to Xue Zhi. Li Longji nodded and said, "Xue Zhi, you led 50,000 elites forward, giving Tubo the illusion that we are moving forward with great fanfare." ”

"Yes." Xue Zhi was overjoyed and led his orders loudly. (To be continued......)
