Chapter 3 The Mighty Desert
Yongbyon, located at the junction of the Hexi Corridor and the border with Tibet, is a border city, not large, only a few miles in radius. The Tang army stationed here was the Yongbyon Army.
"Rumble!" An earth-shattering sound of hooves sounded, a cloud of smoke and dust filled the air, and a Tibetan army rushed straight towards Yongbyon City.
"Tibet is coming! Tibet is coming! "The Yongbyon army appeared and immediately called the police.
The general of the Yongbyon army immediately arrived, and saw that the Tubo army was no less than 10,000 people, and the Yongbian army was only 2,000 people, but he did not have the slightest fear, but shouted loudly: "Brothers: the great victory at the mouth of the moraine, the slaughter of millions of Turks, and the capture of Mo Si alive, this is a great victory, and our army will come soon." We must drag the Tibetan dog, and we must not let the Tibetan dog succeed! ”
"Hooray! Banzai! ”
The news of the great victory at Mokou had arrived, and the defenders of Yongbyon were particularly happy, bursting out with a shocking roar and a blazing fighting spirit.
The Tibetan general led his army to the city of Yongbyon and ordered the Tibetan army to line up and prepare to attack the city.
The Tibetan generals rode out on horseback and shouted loudly at the head of the city: "Listen to the Ningbian army: your garrison is empty, your troops are insufficient, hurry up and surrender the city, and the Great Tubo can spare your life." If you dare to say a word, you must look good. ”
"Haha!" The general of the Yongbian army sneered: "Listen to the Tubo dog, if you retreat, you can live a little longer, if you dare to attack the city, you will not be able to die well." ”
"It's funny." The Tubo general said disdainfully: "I brought 10,000 people, but you only have 2,000 people, even if Ningbian City is strong, you can't stop it." ”
"The imperial court has defeated the Turks, and our reinforcements will arrive soon. At that point, you won't be able to leave if you want to. The general of the Yongbian army was in high spirits and shouted: "The imperial court has slaughtered millions of Turks, and the arrival of our reinforcements will definitely make it difficult for you to return!" ”
"How is it possible to slaughter a million Turks? What a joke! If the Turks can't be defeated, won't they escape? The Turks want to flee, can the Tang army catch up? "The Tibetan generals listened to it as a joke. Said: "It is precisely because you were dragged by the Turks that Zampu ordered us to attack!" ”
"Oh no, no." As soon as the words of the Tibetan generals fell, they saw a group of scouts galloping towards them, and they shouted from afar.
When the Tibetan generals took a look, they saw that these scouts were pale and frightened. It's like the end of the world.
"The entire Turkic army was wiped out at the moraine, millions of Turks were slaughtered, and Mo Si was captured alive." The scouts shouted in unison.
"Impossible! No way! You must have lied about the military situation! The Tibetan generals didn't believe it at all.
"This has already spread, can it be fake?"
"Hurry up and withdraw the troops, if you don't leave, it will be a big trouble."
The scout hurriedly reminded: "Reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty are coming. If the war starts, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
The purpose of this attack was to take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Tang army was held back by the Turks, to lay down the Hexi Corridor, cut off the connection between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and then capture the Western Regions in one fell swoop.
If the Tang Dynasty reinforcements arrived, the Tibetan army would have no chance to leave.
"You're not lying?" The Tibetan generals still didn't believe it.
"Such a heavy military situation. Who dares to report nonsense? If you do not believe, go to war. I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will regret it too late. The scout hurriedly said.
"Withdraw!" The Tibetan generals had no choice but to believe it, and with an order, the Tibetan army withdrew.
Tubo Zanpu Dusong Mangbujie led the army through Jishi Mountain, riding on a horse, and said with a smug smile: "This time, the Tang army will be dragged by the Turks, and it will be difficult to take care of us in a short time. We have the opportunity to do something about the Hexi Corridor. Once the Hexi Corridor is taken, the benefits are great, Guanzhong can be threatened to the east, and the Western Regions can be threatened to the west. At that time, as long as the army arrives, it can easily take the Western Regions. ”
"Zampu Wise!" The ministers sang loudly.
"Although the Western Regions are bitterly cold, they are a necessary place on the Silk Road. The Great Tubo controlled the Western Regions. It will not be long before you can follow the example of the Turks of the past, and you can resell the silk tea of the Tang Dynasty to the West, and then resell the jewelry treasures of the West to the Tang Dynasty. We will accumulate mountains of wealth. At that time, the Great Tibetan Dynasty was no worse than the Tang Dynasty. Du Songmanbuk's eyes lit up.
When the Turks rose, because of their good geographical location, they controlled the Silk Road, and they could resell the silk tea from the Central Plains to the West, and then resell the jewelry and treasures of the West to the Central Plains, and earned a lot of wealth from it. With wealth, you can recruit a large number of troops, and the Turks soon became a great empire with a territory of thousands of miles.
If the Tibetan control of the Western Regions, it will be the second Turk, and it can be resold and a huge amount of wealth can be accumulated. With a huge amount of wealth, Tibet will become stronger in a leap and will not be much weaker than the Tang Dynasty.
"Haha!" The Tibetan ministers burst into laughter.
"Zanpu, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good, the Turkic army is annihilated, and Mo Si is captured." Just then, a group of scouts galloped up and shouted from afar.
"What? Extremely? The total destruction of the Turkic army? No way! A shout sounded, and the Tubo monarchs and ministers had an expression of disbelief.
"Zampu, really. The Tang army slaughtered millions of Turks, and the bones of the moraine were piled up layer after layer, and the stench of corpses could be smelled hundreds of miles away. "Scouts are busy, sure.
"You didn't lie?" Du Song Mangbu asked.
"Zampu, who would dare to lie about such a heavy military situation? We've made sure enough. ”
"The news of the battle has spread, but there are Tang people everywhere who are celebrating, can this be fake?"
Scout busy proof.
"Millions of Turks said that if they didn't, they would be gone, how did this battle go?" Du Song Mangbu Knot still didn't quite believe it.
"That's how it was called...... "The scout reported the news one by one.
This news can't be made up if it is made, and Du Songmangbu has to believe it, and he can't help but breathe: "It's terrible!" Slaughter millions! ”
"It's horrible! That's a million people! The Tibetan minister's face changed greatly.
"Quick, give orders immediately, and withdraw them all." Du Song Mangbu Jie ordered loudly.
At this time, the war with the Tang Dynasty was a death.
"Zampu, that's not going to work." Da Yan hurriedly reminded: "Many of our troops have already reached the Tang Realm, and if the Tang Dynasty investigates it, it will be a big war." ”
"yes, how is that going to be?" The ministers were terrified.
The Tibetans and the Tang Dynasty fought for decades, with more defeats and fewer victories. In today's Tang Dynasty, there is no threat from the north, and it is completely possible to transfer the army to the northwest and fight a big war with Tubo. If that were the case, it would be a disaster for Tibet.
"Send someone to the Divine Capital. If you do it in many ways, you must get the forgiveness of the Tang Dynasty. "Du Song Mangbu Jie is a little glad that this battle has not yet started after all.

South of the moraine, the Tang army camp.
The Tang army rested here, and the people were happy, and the soldiers were frolicking, and it was very lively.
Wang Xiaojie's handsome account. Wang Xiaojie and the generals were all smiling.
There is only one person who is very unhappy, and that is Wu Sansi. All the generals have made meritorious contributions, but he has no merit. Not only did he have no credit, but he also lost the battle.
Since the beginning of the war, the Don army has fought well. It is not difficult to make meritorious contributions. It's a pity that Wu Sansi's subordinates are too sloppy, even a small group of Turks can't beat him, he wants to make meritorious service, but he can't make meritorious service, so he can't be depressed.
"His Majesty's will has been delivered, and Ben Shuai will lead the army deep into Mobei. Command the desert. Wang Xiaojie's eyes sparkled, and he said: "Since the Han generation, the Chinese army has never gone deep into the desert in a big way, and this move is very necessary." Moreover, it is also necessary for His Majesty to restore the capital of the north of the desert and control the north of the desert. ”
After a slight pause, he said, "Lead the army to return triumphantly." Ben Shuai thought that the king of Chu was suitable. ”
"Yes." A chorus of approval rang out.
If there was no Li Longji, there would not have been such a great victory, and in the hearts of the generals, Li Longji had a lofty position, and no one had any objection to the return of the army led by him.
Although Wu Sansi wanted to object. But it was impossible for anyone to support it, so I had to keep silent.
"Okay, that's it." Wang Xiaojie did not ask Li Longji's opinion, and directly decided.
"King Chu. This matter of leading the army back to the capital will be handed over to you. Wang Xiaojie said to Li Longji.
"Dashuai, I have something to say." Li Longji nodded and said, "After the marshal goes deep into the desert this time, he must make a big show and promote the prestige of the Chinese army. The nine surnamed Tiele and Hui Su must be dismembered. ”
"Dismemberment? Good idea! Zhang Shuo agreed loudly and said: "In this war, the nine surnamed Tiele and Hui did not send troops to help the war, they are waiting and watching, and they must not go unpunished." After dismemberment, their strength will be weakened, and there will be no more war in Mobei. ”
"Hmm." Wang Xiaojie nodded heavily, greatly agreed with this, and said: "After Ben Shuai goes deep into the desert, if they dare to say a word, Ben Shuai will destroy them." ”
With the name of Wang Xiaojie in the future, I believe that the nine surnamed Tiele and Hui Su will not dare to object.
"The second thing should be to send 150,000 troops into the northwest and prepare for a big war against Tibet." Li Longji continued.
"Send so many?" Wang Xiaojie was stunned.
"The Turks' southern invasion and killing of our people this time was the result of the agitation of the Great Food." Li Longji analyzed and said: "Da Shi is about to go east, and a battle with Da Shi is inevitable, before the war, we must be fully prepared." If you want to fight with Da Shi, you must first ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor, and if you want the Hexi Corridor not to be threatened, you must take back Dafeichuan, and the battle with Tubo will be fought sooner or later. We need to prepare early. ”
The Arab Empire is a ghost, and this Turkic southward movement has a lot to do with it. A war with the Arab empire was inevitable. If you want to fight with the Arab emperors, you must send troops from the Western Regions, and the Hexi Corridor is the passage connecting the Western Regions to the Central Plains, so it must not be threatened.
In order to ensure the safety of the Hexi Corridor, the minimum condition is to recapture the Dafeichuan, which is now the area of Qinghai Lake in Qinghai.
It is better to destroy the Tibetans, of course, this is unlikely.
"Reasonable." Wang Xiaojie nodded heavily, greatly agreed, and said: "I will play for His Majesty Xià and transfer 150,000 troops to the northwest." ”
"The third thing is to take advantage of our great victory this time to completely solve the Khitan." Li Longji's eyes flashed, and he said: "When we were fighting with the Turks, the Khitan had a strange move and wanted to conquer the Song Desert Land. If you don't solve the Khitan, you will leave trouble. ”
"Yes!" A chorus of responses rang out.
