674 Give a big gift
There were only seven jade shops in Luocheng in total, and Liu Yuan didn't make much effort to connect with the small and small jade shops that were sent by the Tang Dynasty to lurk here.
He is the number one who studied under him, that is, the captain, he is responsible for the intelligence collection of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo, and this is also the "headquarters", when he saw Liu Yuan, he was very surprised, and hurriedly invited Liu Yuan and a few of them to the secret room behind to discuss.
After sending drinks and pastries and other things, after a little cold and getting to know each other, I finally mentioned getting down to business.
"Cheng Ge, how is the situation now?" Liu Yuan asked with a straight face.
"In general, it is still optimistic, the Tang Dynasty is in full swing, the emperor is wise and martial, General Duan is strategizing, Tubo took a lot of advantage at the beginning, but General Duan used the tactics of clearing the wilderness with strong walls, and moved all the people outside the city into the city, Tubo is good at guerrillas, but there is no siege weapon, and there is nothing to do, a few days ago, the Tang army lured the enemy deep, and killed a thousand households in Tubo in one fell swoop and nearly three thousand Tubo elites."
Wei Chi Baoqing asked curiously, "A few days ago?" No, Datang to Tubo, under such conditions, it will take a month and a half to get the news here, and you know the battle that happened a few days ago? ”
Cheng Ge hurriedly said: "Captain Wei Chi, this kind of thing, how dare you guess if you are small, this is the news from the front line of Tubo, the Tubo people are good at raising sea holly, and many news are mostly transmitted by it, so the speed is very fast, as for how to get it, please forgive the small one who sells it." ”
Obviously, Cheng Ge has his own source of information, and it is estimated that someone is either attacking the inside of Tubo, or bribing the enemy and letting them provide information, but these are their top secrets, although Liu Yuan is also a general. But it doesn't belong to the detailed department, and it makes sense not to disclose it.
When Liu Yuan also led the Zhenfan army to gallop on the Mobei Plateau, he had already suffered from the sea holly, and the poor eldest grandson Chong could be said to have died indirectly on the sea holly raised by Zanmeng Saimaga, no wonder the terrain of Tubo was complex and difficult to walk, and Songtsen Gampo was able to attack the three big battalions of Datang in the same day, and the command system was more efficient than Datang, and now it seems that Datang's 800-mile fast horse is running and vomiting blood. It's not as good as the sea holly flapping its wings.
Hey, if you have a chance to slaughter all these flat-haired beasts, if Songtsen Gampo knows how to go, it is estimated that he will vomit blood in anger.
"Cheng Ge, the two countries are at war. Who's in favor now? ”
"This" Cheng Ge hesitated for a moment, but still said truthfully: "The three major battalions of Datang were attacked. It temporarily lost the confidence to set foot on the land of Tibet. can only defend, not attack, and there are almost twenty or thirty states close to the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and the battle line is too long, sometimes it is inevitable to take care of one or the other, so the situation is that Tubo has a slight upper hand.
One only defends and does not attack. If one only attacks and does not defend, there will be losses if there are too many words, let alone the war?
Liu Yuan said a little depressedly: "Such a state and county, move the people into the city. It is also necessary to arrange for them to be fed and lodg, which is a heavy burden on the treasury, and these Tibetans are really annoying. ”
The so-called strong wall Qingye, it sounds good, but it is actually a thankless method, not to mention compensation and the like, so many people have entered the city, they have to drink and retreat, Li Erhuang wants to be an emperor through the ages, and the thing of starving people to death can not be done, and the people who moved in are often tens of thousands, just one day's food is already terrifying, it can be said that the court is tightening their belts and gritting their teeth in this tough battle.
"Yes, the two countries are fighting, and it is the people who suffer." Cheng Ge sighed, but soon said happily: "But things are not as bad as we imagined, General Duan has adopted the tactics of a peak fire platform and a cement fortress, and is further encroaching on the advantages of Tubo, and the information transmitted from the front of Tubo shows that it is beneficial to our Datang." ”
"Cement fortress?" Liu Yuan said in surprise.
"The general doesn't know, this is a magical thing, Datang is building on the border, this kind of fortress, hard as a rock, stronger than the city wall, built in some key roads, it can be built in a few days, so that Tubo has suffered a lot, and the input of the peak fire platform, those people who enter the city, can also choose to work on the outskirts of the city, and return to the city immediately when the peak fire starts, in general, the situation is improving day by day, by the way, general, do you know what cement is? Sounds amazing. ”
Before Liu Yuan could speak, Guan Yong on the side said happily: "Do you know what to do, cement was invented by the general, I heard that a new road was being built a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon." ”
Yes, cement is too familiar, Liu Yuan didn't expect that the military would apply cement to the battlefield so quickly, although the ancients said that the technology was average, but the brain was absolutely enough, using the characteristics of cement to build bunkers on the border, so that they could gradually encroach on the activity space of the Tubo iron cavalry, and compress them step by step on the Tubo Plateau, this tactic is similar to the tactics of the devils using roads and pillboxes to surround the base area during the eight-year War of Resistance.
If it continues to develop, it is estimated that the Tibetan people will not even be able to sleep well.
"What? This was invented by the general? Cheng Ge was taken aback at first, and soon said with relief: "It's not strange, in fact, when Cheng Mou worshiped the general as a teacher, he felt that the general was very powerful, like a god who could do anything, and Datang had a general, it was really lucky." ”
Fortunate? Hopefully, Liu Yuan muttered in his heart, this Li Er, who slammed the door, is this a free take or a credit
"Okay, we can't do anything about this for the time being, let's talk about our current situation first." Liu Yuan turned the subject back to reality.
Time is pressing, there are two days in November, it is said that it is October to conceive, in fact, few people will be pregnant for ten months, how to know how to be pregnant in ancient times, but in later generations, premature birth for half a month is a normal phenomenon, and in ancient times there is a saying of seven stars, that is, seven months of pregnancy was born, Liu Yuan did not dare to bet that Zanmeng Saima Karma would be pregnant for ten months.
As soon as he saw Liu Yuan, Cheng Ge had already guessed that their party should be to save people, after all, they were their own flesh and blood, and when they heard Liu Yuan say, he immediately said: "Yes, general." ”
"How much do you know about the Tibetan Zanmeng Saimaga?" Liu Yuan asked straight to the point.
The people present are all smart people, and there is no need to go around in circles.
"I have been paying attention to this matter, and the Tubo princess is under house arrest in the Luosang Monastery."
So, Cheng Ge said the information he knew about 1510, and Liu Yuanzhi said the same, but the information is much more detailed than Liu Yuan's, according to Cheng Ge, although the Lausanne Temple is heavily guarded, but does not prevent the believers from going to worship, by pretending to be believers to observe, heavily guarded, all large items must be checked, the hall in front of the Lausanne Temple can also worship normally, but the back hall refuses believers to enter, and the princess is under house arrest in the back.
After speaking, Cheng Ge whispered: "If the general needs manpower, just speak." ”
Liu Yuan nodded and said: "The manpower is estimated, you let them prepare, you send someone to pay attention to the news of Luosang Temple now, if there is any trouble, notify me immediately." ”
"Yes, General, the little one will be arranged later."
"By the way, No. 1, is the largest and most famous temple in Tibet the Luosang Temple?" Liu Yuan suddenly asked curiously.
"General, are you talking about the Buddhist temple or the Bon temple?"
"Bon Temple"
Cheng Ge shook his head and said: "No, Luosang Temple is also a famous temple, but not the most famous temple, the most famous temple is Jisang Temple by the Jiqu River, it has the longest history, the highest status, Luosang Temple is the place where Bo Ri Guxin grew up, after becoming Gu Xin, he often goes back to communicate, under his lead, the magnates of Tubo are closer to Luosang Temple, and Jisang Temple is the earliest temple of Bon in the city of Luo, and it is also the most important temple of Bon. It is a holy place in the hearts of all Bonists. ”
"However, a few Zanpu Yang Buddha suppressed benzene, now some are in decline, the incense is also less, there is no prosperity and liveliness of the past, by the way, general, you ask this, do you want to think of where to worship, the small one can be planted, but these Tibetan gods are not blessed, this is difficult to say, after all, we are not Tubo people."
A playful smile appeared on the corner of Liu Yuan's mouth, and he said with a pun: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, although I am not a believer, but it is still okay to give it a gift, and I also need a big gift, hehe." (To be continued......)
