977 Prisoner exchange

"Bang"

"Bang Bang"

In the backyard of the Tibetan Imperial Palace, the sound of firearms sounded from time to time, and Songtsen Gampo, the Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo, personally went into battle, and under the guidance of a surrendering soldier, carried out firearm shooting.

There is no unnegotiable deal in the world, only the price that cannot be negotiated, on the one hand is torture and torture, on the other hand is high-ranking officials and beauties, not every soldier can withstand the temptation, no, under the guidance of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo can finally personally test the power of this firearm.

When Songtsen Gampo looked at the Tubo armor that had been beaten into a sieve by iron pills, he couldn't help but sigh: "With such a divine weapon, a three-year-old child can easily kill an adult strong man, no wonder Datang dared to enter my Tubo territory with only more than 200,000 troops, and he also played such a momentum, it was really powerful." ”

"Lord Zampu, the Tang Army is too generous, those untouchables can be exchanged for nobles and soldiers, this is already unbelievable, I didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to give us two artifacts, firearms and gunpowder, the little one thinks that things will not be so simple." QIONGBO. Bangse had seen the power of this fire gun early in the morning, and said to Songtsen Gampo sitting in the hall with a solemn face.

Chisang Yangtun on the side also echoed: "After the Tang Emperor ascended the throne, he practiced benevolent government, always cherished his fame, and had a high reputation among the people, but it is indeed a bit unusual to make such a sacrifice for the sake of more than 10,000 people. ”

The problem is that Songtsan Gampo's sky-high asking price, Datang did not land to repay the money, but agreed, happiness came too fast, as the negotiation was used, the Tubo monarchs and ministers were a little unbelievable.

Songtsen Gampo couldn't put it down, handed the fire gun to his henchmen, and then walked to Lun Qinling, who was sitting in a special palanquin to recuperate, and said: "General, you are an eagle under the holy mountain, and your eyes are always so sharp. In your opinion, how is this a good thing? ”

Although he was now injured and could not go to the battlefield in person, his wisdom was still there, and Songtsen Gampo specially sent someone to carry him to participate in this special meeting, just to hear his opinion.

Sometimes, wisdom is scarier than strength.

"Actually, what the two adults said is very reasonable, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It is true that he cherishes his feathers and maintains his reputation, but there are also many doubts about Datang's move" On Qinling squinted his eyes, sparks of wisdom burst out in his eyes, and he said loudly: "Datang is the most proficient in scheming. And Datang's world of flowers is also very attractive to many generals. We've got an Apo. Hue. It's inevitable that there will be another one, but it's a crisis and a transfer, so it's a good opportunity, as long as we are well prepared. With this batch of equipment, the heroic soldiers are simply like a tiger with wings, and they can still be so arrogant when they see Datang. ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded: "Come to think of it, this is also the most probable." An Apo. Color, we have lost the mutual angle of the Pigin City, this matter can no longer be sloppy, especially in the acceptance of firearms and distribution, we must be strictly careful, lest the Tang Dynasty have a chance, then I will send people to inspect one by one, and then hand over these firearms and gunpowder to Ben Zampu's personal guards, and then draw elite soldiers to protect them, so that they can be guaranteed. ”

"Yes, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, no matter what they think, as long as these weapons are in their hands, then Datang will not be afraid." Chisang Yangtun said happily.

QIONGBO. Bangse took the initiative to ask: "The little one was originally checked by Lord Zampu, and he would never let Tang Jun play any tricks." ”

"Okay, there are a few virtuous ministers to help each other and work together, why is Datang afraid?" Songtsen Gampo said happily.

Although I can't figure out the true intentions of the Tang Dynasty, but on Qinling is right, only by checking at all levels and dealing with it carefully, this is an opportunity, a chance to turn the tide of the war, Songtsen Gampo can't refuse such a good condition at all, and he will fight for anything.

Even if there is a loss, that is, to let go of some Datang slaves who have nothing to do with him, although the food is not good, but in order to hang their lives, more than 10,000 people eat and drink every day is not a small amount, and take the opportunity to shake off this burden, so as not to cause extraneous branches.

"Great discussion," Songtsen Gampo said suddenly.

Chisang Yangtun immediately replied: "Yes"

"Give each of those Tang captives a beard cake a day, two taels of meat, don't kill them at will, now they can have precious chips in our hands, the deal is imminent, don't have any accidents" Songtsen Gampo said lightly: "This is what the Tang Army asked, by the way, get them some clothes, otherwise it won't look good." ”

"Yes, Lord Zamp."

Joan Bo on the side. Bangse said a little strangely: "Tang Jun asked for a deal in late June, will this deliberately delay time?" ”

Songtsen Gampo shook his head and said: "This is not very likely, the grain and grass in the district is sufficient, and the Tang army does not have to worry about the grain and grass within a year, that Lu Shilang said, the amount of gunpowder we asked for is too large, and it needs to be transferred from the Tang Dynasty, so it will take some time." ”

"I agree with this" on the side of Qinling said: "Tubo is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the weather is hot, in the sunny summer, when the sun is the most fierce, some hot stones can fry eggs, the Tang Army is most afraid of heat, this is also the same as they entered the plateau after the summer last year, I think, they are more anxious than us, and there is another point, the Tang Dynasty is the most face-conscious, for the credibility of his Tian Khan, this time he also signed a contract with us, which can be relieved a lot." ”

"That's good, it's cheap for these cheap slaves, and now even my Tubo warriors have to save food." Chisang Yangtun said with some dissatisfaction

With the same demand, Datang and Tubo temporarily peaceful, Songtsan Gampo turtle shrunk in the city of Luo, not provocative and not attacking, Datang is ten miles away from the city of Luo, camped, both sides are hanging the card of exemption from war, the transaction of the waiter, for a time, the plateau seems to have restored the former tranquility.

In order to show that the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the captured people and captured soldiers, Lu Dashilang visited Luocheng in the name of the representative every three or five times, and under his strong request, these people not only ate and dressed well, but also lived in houses, and many people had a trace of blood on their faces, and every time they shouted that the emperor was wise.

For them, everything is like a dream.

On the surface, it was a harmonious atmosphere, but in fact, the Tang army was quietly managing the position, and Songtsen Gampo was afraid that there would be a second Apo. color, also used this time to clean up the army, screening, the slightest suspicion to resolutely clean up, for a while, some of the city of Luo some storms, many soldiers dare to be angry dare not speak, it seems nothing, but in fact, Songtsen Gampo has also lost a lot of popular support and support.

Although it is clear that this will hurt morale, there is no way, because Songtsen Gampo only has one city, and there is no way to retreat, so it is natural to be more careful.

Of course, these are all the internal affairs of Tibet, Liu Yuan and his party can't manage it, even if they can manage it, it doesn't matter, it's best to have more internal friction, so that it won't be difficult to fight.

Time flies quickly, and before you know it, it is the hottest month in Tibet.

According to the research of human scientists, theoretically, every 100 meters of the sea is raised, the temperature will drop by 0.6 degrees, Tubo as a plateau, there are not many days of high temperature in a year, the hottest weather appears about the end of June, Liu Yuan studied in the geography of later generations, the highest temperature is about 27 to 29 degrees, but that is the information of later generations, I don't know if it is particularly hot this year, Liu Yuan feels, the current temperature is above 30 degrees.

There are many mountains and few trees, it is difficult to find a place to shade, there was no electricity in ancient times, and naturally there was no fan air conditioner and the like, Liu Yuan did not suffer less.

On June 25, the long-awaited supply team of the Tang Dynasty and Tibet finally appeared, in addition to the food and meat that the Tang army needed to replenish, as well as the necessary materials for this exchange: gunpowder.

Transported as many as 500 barrels, in addition to the latest forged 100 new firearms, Liu Yuan once again felt Datang's strong manufacturing capabilities, it is no exaggeration to say that these precision-made firearms, Tubo can not forge a decent one in a year, but Datang is only a few months, and it has forged so much.

After Hou Jun finished collecting it, he immediately said to Liu Yuan: "General Liu, this batch of gunpowder is very important, and before it is exchanged for the people of the Tang Dynasty, it will be handed over to the Yangwei Army under his command for safekeeping, you must deal with it carefully, and you must not take it lightly." ”

The Yangwei Army is the elite of the Tang Army, and no one has any opinion on it keeping such important materials.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he immediately saluted: "Yes, General Hou, the last general will definitely protect this batch of materials, and there will be no accidents." ”

The two glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed a smile of sympathy.

After speaking, he instructed Zhao Fu, Guan Yong and others to move all the hundreds of barrels of gunpowder back to their camp for safekeeping.

Without further ado, early the next morning, Hou Junji and Songtsen Gampo immediately began to exchange, or the transaction was more appropriate: the Tang army sent Lu Yuqing, a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to enter the city with several lieutenants to check the number and health of the Tang people and captured soldiers; And the Tibetan side also sent Yi Qiongbo. Led by Bangse, a group of more than 30 people, inspected the situation of those nobles, lords, soldiers and common people.

It is clear that Joan Bo. Bangse was not very interested in the captured Tibetans, so he turned around at random and led people to test the two major artifacts that Songtsen Gampo valued and liked the most, the fire gun and gunpowder.

Poles of firearms, lined up, barrels of gunpowder, piled up, Hou Junji is very generous, placed in the open space in front of the Tang Dynasty military camp, let Qiongbo. Bangse inspection.

"General Cheng, if you don't mind, then I'll check these guns and gunpowder." QIONGBO. Bonse said with a smile.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false, Qiongbo. Bangse decided not only to see clearly, but also to test a few more times, so as not to deceive Datang.

Old Demon King Cheng said very generously: "This is natural, Qiongbo. General Bangse, you can check it casually, so as not to say that I am untrustworthy. ”

QIONGBO. Bangse was not polite, and began to inspect it, asking people to check whether each gunpowder barrel was in good condition, and every gunpowder barrel had to be opened one by one, and he took it out with his hands to see if there was any problem. (To be continued......)
