Chapter 12 The Shock of Tibet

How difficult it is to fight Shibao City, Du Songmangbu will not be unclear, and it is impossible for him to believe that it has been defeated by the Tang Dynasty. He would rather the old sow could go up the tree and the man could have children than believe it was true.

The person who reported the news was so angry that it was obviously an urgent military situation, and Du Songmangbu actually listened to it as a joke, which was too speechless.

"It's a funny joke! It's the funniest joke I've ever heard! Da Lun laughed back and forth, tears came out of his eyes, and said: "Such a funny joke is rare to hear in the world, and it is worth drinking." ”

"The ancients had a good story of using poetry to accompany wine, so we used jokes to accompany the wine, so that the ancients would not be beautiful!" Xiao Lun laughed and clutched his stomach and cried out in pain.

"Zampu, I'm talking about ......" The person who reported the news was busy affirming, but he interrupted Du Song Mangbu rudely.

"You're going to say you're telling the truth, aren't you?" Du Song Mangbu smiled all over his face, very cheerful, and said, "I know what you said is true. ”

"Really?" This person's eyes are full of hope, Zampu is Zampu, and he is wise.

"It's really a funny joke." Du Song nodded heavily, looking at his hard look, he almost broke his neck.

"Ugh." There was a grinding sound from the man's mouth, and he was speechless.

"Serve the wine." The whole thing was shouting.

Immediately, a servant brought the best wine and poured it for the Tibetan monarchs and ministers.

"This glass of wine is a great wine, why do you say that? It's not that the wine is so good, it's that his jokes are so good! Du Song Mangbu Jie held the golden cup, drank it dry, and said with a smile: "For so many years. There are no jokes about Stone Castle yet. I can't help but laugh. You say. Isn't it? ”

"That's right!" The echo sounded like thunder.

"Yu Zampu: The Tang army has captured Shibao City." As soon as his words fell, someone came in to report the military situation.

"Idiot!" Du Song Mangbu rolled his eyes, glowed coldly, and said coldly: "If you want to tell a joke, you have to put a little thought, he has already said this joke, and it won't be funny for you to say it again." ”

The second person who reported the news directly scolded him and was speechless.

I'm obviously talking about reporting on the military situation. Why is it a joke again?

The servants poured wine for the people, and they all brought the loose mango cloth to their mouths, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yu Zanpu, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, Shibao City has been captured by the Tang army." At this moment, the spoilers came, and saw five people rushing in in a hurry, and shouted from afar.

"Hmm." Du Songmangbu was stunned for a moment, and his eyes sparkled. Staring at the five.

"Are you telling the truth?" One person can laugh, two people can tell lies. Can seven people still tell lies?

Du Song Mangbu had to be surprised.

"Yu Zampu: Shibao City has been captured by the Tang army, and the Tang army has entered Dafeichuan." Before he could say a word, another group of people rushed in with a panicked face and hurriedly reported the news from afar.

"This ......" Du Songmangbu Jie's face was shocked, his hand shook, the gold cup in his hand smashed to the ground, and the wine splashed everywhere, splashing him all over his body, and he didn't realize it.

"Boom! Boom! The wine glasses in the hands of the ministers fell to the ground one after another, and the wine splashed wildly, and the ground was damp.

One person can lie about the military situation, two people can also lie about it, can a dozen or twenty people still lie about the military situation?

Obviously impossible!

Although the Tibetan monarchs and ministers did not want to believe it, they could not help it.

"This ...... Shibao City is so strong, the Tang Dynasty attacked many times, there were not 100,000 casualties, but 80,000, and they couldn't be defeated, how could it fall in one fell swoop? Du Songmanbu, who finally reacted, looked confused.

Even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't understand that such a strong and difficult stone castle city was captured by the Tang army in one fell swoop.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty fought Shibao City for decades, and there were 80,000 dead and wounded, not 100,000, but they were not defeated. And this time, the Tang Dynasty took Shibao City in one fell swoop, and the Tang army had already entered Dafeichuan, and Dusong Mangbujie had to figure out how Shibao City was lost.

"yes." The ministers also wanted to find out.

"Yu Zampu, the Tang army raised ash on the top of the hill opposite Shibao City, the gray fog rushed in, and the eyes of the warriors of the Great Tubo were gray, and they couldn't see, the Tang army took advantage of the situation to attack and fell Shibao City in one fell swoop." A person who reports the news has the audacity to report it.

"Yang...... Ash? Du Songmanbu only felt that his mouth was dry, his body was weak, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

"Goo." There was a strange sound in the throats of the ministers, and their faces changed drastically.

Shibao City is the most important pass in Tubo, there is no one, they all know Shibao City very well, if the Tang army is in the opposite side of Shibao City, as long as they are optimistic about the wind, they will definitely make Shibao City lose its combat power.

They who want to understand this have to be afraid.

The loss of Shibao City means that the gate of Dafeichuan is opened, and the Tang army can enter Dafeichuan without hindrance. Think about it, twenty years ago, Xue Rengui only led 50,000 Tang troops into Dafeichuan, and almost took Dafeichuan. This time, the Tang army will make a comeback, and it will definitely not be 50,000, it will come more, 100,000, 200,000, or even 300,000.

With so many Tang troops pouring in, can Tubo still keep Dafeichuan?

Dafeichuan has a warm climate, abundant water and grass, is an excellent natural pasture, and a large part of the cattle, sheep and horses in Tibet are produced in Dafeichuan, which is one of the most important economic areas in Tubo.

Once defeated by the Tang army, the strength of Tubo will drop greatly.

Moreover, Tubo can no longer threaten the Hexi Corridor, and the Tang Dynasty can run the Western Regions with all its might, and the idea that Tubo wants to own the Western Regions will come to naught.

And the most important point, that is, the Tang Dynasty was closer to Tibet, posing a huge threat to Tibet, strategically speaking, Tibet was passive, and the Tang Dynasty had the initiative.

The consequences of this are too strict, and the Tubo monarchs and ministers can't help but be stupid.

"This ...... What should I do? After a long time, Du Song Mangbu finally came to his senses and asked in horror.

Frankly speaking, Dusong Mangbu Jie is the male lord of the generation of Tubo, this person is not lacking in courage and shrewdness, but the consequences of losing Dafeichuan are too strict, and it will make Tubo return to the pre-liberation period overnight, back to the Songtsen Gampo period.

Although Songtsen Gampo was the greatest Zampu in the history of Tibet, he unified Tibet, however, during his reign, Tibet was very weak. Tubo can really be called powerful, only after getting Dafeichuan.

Back in the Songtsen Gampo period, that is, the period when Tibet was weak, thinking about this terrible consequence, Du Songmangbu was frightened.

"Zampu, it's useless to be scared right now, you have to calm down and plan well." Da Tan was also frightened, but he had to endure his fear and remind Du Songmang.

"Da Yi, you're right, it's already like this, it's useless to be afraid, you have to be calm. Be sure to be calm. Du Song Manbujie took a breath and forced himself to calm down.

"The loss of Shibao City is certainly beyond our expectations, however, the warriors of Great Tubo are not vegetarians, as long as we make up our minds, we can fight to the death with the Tang army." Dusong Mangbu Jie is worthy of being a famous male lord in the history of Tubo, once he calms down, he can think deeply, and said: "Ben Zanpu thinks that at present, the Great Tubo should do three things: first, transfer troops and prepare for a big battle with the Tang army; the second is to prepare for peace talks; The third is to prepare to defend Jishi Mountain. ”

"Zampu Wise!" The ministers sang in unison.

"Dafeichuan is too important to Dafeichuan, it is precisely because of having Dafeichuan that Tubo is so powerful, it can pose a threat to the Tang Dynasty, and it can threaten the Hexi Corridor strictly, so that the Tang Dynasty cannot fully manage the Western Regions, yes, Dafeichuan cannot be lost in any way, and it must be taken back, even if it is a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty, it is not hesitated." The big dissection said.

"That's right." The ministers agreed.

Dafeichuan is too important to Tubo, not only has extremely important economic value, but also has extremely important strategic value, and has an extremely important position in national security.

"The big argument is certainly reasonable, but the Tang army is well-trained, well-equipped, strict in command, good in tactics, able to fight well, and has recently slaughtered millions of Turks, can we fight with the Tang army?" Immediately afterwards, some ministers raised a very cruel practical question in a panic.

The ministers all pursed their mouths, their eyes flickered, and their faces were frightened, and it was difficult to answer.

How good the Tang army was, as one of the main enemies of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo knew very well that Tubo had fought with the Tang Dynasty for so many years, if it were not for the high mountains and dense forests to rely on, it would have been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty ten times and eight times.

Think about it, the Turks are so strong, their national strength and military strength are much stronger than those of Tibet, and they were not destroyed by the Tang Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty exterminated the Turks not once, but twice.

Especially the second extermination of the Turks, which was the most terrifying, slaughtered millions of people at one time!

Slaughtering millions of people at one time, who can not be surprised if you can't find it in the history books? Who can not be afraid?

On the other hand, Tibet's national strength is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, and its military strength is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty. The army's training, equipment, orders, and tactical tactics were inferior to those of the Tang Army, and the Tang Army threw them off several streets.

Not to mention far away, let's talk about the most recent major war, that is, the Battle of Dafeichuan. Xue Rengui only brought 50,000 Tang troops into Dafeichuan, and when Guo Beifeng lost grain and grass and suffered a lot of losses, Xue Rengui only had 40,000 troops in his hands. At that time, Tubo dispatched 400,000 troops to pour the country, which was ten times the number of the Tang army.

Under the leadership of Da Lun at that time, he launched a series of attacks on the Tang army, wanting to annihilate the Tang army. However, the final result was that Tubo suffered heavy casualties, countless casualties, and a mountain of corpses, so he had to give up his plan to annihilate Xue Rengui, and had to take the initiative to negotiate with Xue Rengui and let Xue Rengui leave.

This is a lesson learned at the cost of blood.

If the Tang army at that time had not lost its grain and grass, its morale was low, and the morale of the army was unstable, the 400,000 Tibetan army might have been defeated.

Du Song Mangbu was stunned for a long time, and then said loudly: "As long as our warriors of Great Tubo unite as one and share the same hatred for the enemy, we will definitely be able to defeat the Tang army!" Twenty years ago, we were able to defeat Xue Rengui, and now we can defeat the Tang army again. (To be continued......)
