Brother, that's whether close relatives are good or not, what is there to be proud of, and the marriage of close relatives is not good for offspring.
Be careful to give birth to a deformed child, hehe, let it be different for my brother.
No wonder history says that the eldest grandson Chongwen is not a martial artist, it can be seen from this that other people's pride comes from success, he is good, he has a fiancΓ©e who looks like a fairy, like a peacock so proud that he cocks his tail, obviously an infatuated lover who loves beauty and does not love the country.
"Yes, yes, eldest grandson, you are the happiest, the most beautiful princess of Datang has been taken into your pocket, you have to treat me to a few drinks then." Liu Yuan looked depressed, but still agreed.
"Eldest Grandson"
"Eldest grandson?"
After calling a few times and not responding, Liu Yuan turned his head to look, happy, the eldest grandson Chong had fallen asleep on the snow, and snorted slightly, it seemed that he had been chased and killed for so long with his nerves, and the whole person was exhausted, and now he found a large army, and someone was vigilant for him, and after eating and drinking, he had already fallen asleep for a while.
Or is he happy, born with a golden key, since he was a child, even if his talent is mediocre, he can enjoy all the glory and wealth in his life, and there are really not many people who can "fight with him" in Datang.
Liu Yuan smiled and asked people to carry him away and let him rest without mentioning it.
Early the next morning, the two of them set off together, it was good to have a guy with similar interests, and the road was not lonely, but the wild wolf and the blood knife consciously stayed away from the two of them. Because they were actually in the hinterland of Tibet, the text wrinkled and wrote poems and sentences, and the two warriors heard goosebumps and fell to the ground, fortunately, on this day, there was no war, because the nearby villages and tribes were either attacked, or felt dangerous, and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and most of them moved away.
That is the day. The group successfully crossed the Lancang River and entered the territory that Sun Bo had divided, the homeland of the same Subi State.
However, no one noticed that there was a sea holly as white as snow hovering in the sky
"Smack". In the tent of the Tubo camp outside Songzhou, Songtsen Gampo slammed a wine glass on the ground. Fell to pieces. At this moment, he was furious, and his emotions could no longer be controlled.
Population, is population, Hou Junji led people to attack and rob unscrupulously in his hinterland, specifically sweeping his own population. According to the letter of his sister, Princess Zanmong Saimaga, the young and strong population has decreased by 30,000 to 50,000. This is unacceptable to Tibet, whose population is still relatively small, because the total population of Tibet, that is, less than 3 million, if tens of thousands of people can bear it, but the economic losses are difficult to estimate.
Tubo is located in the plateau, can only grow wheat, naked, sorghum and other limited crops, the economy is very weak, and the Mobei Plateau, that is, the grassland of the former Subi homeland is extremely important to Tubo, is the main sheep and horse grazing place in Tubo, where the land is fertile, grass resources are extremely rich, because it is the most important birthplace of the Han River in China, later called "the source of the three rivers".
A large amount of meat and fine war horses were produced from here for the use of the southern and northern wars of Tibet, but it became the target of the Tang army's attack, and now the corpses are everywhere there, and the cunning Tang army knew that they could not snatch those livestock, so they slaughtered a large number of horses, and the loss of horses alone was countless, and those herdsmen fled to the city, but the city could not fit so many cattle and sheep, and countless people died of cold and starvation.
In less than five or six years, the Mobei Plateau could not restore the vitality of the herds of cattle and sheep in the past, and the war horses of the Tubo warriors were not easy to replace.
The Tang army that infiltrated Tubo was like a sharp knife, stabbing Tubo fiercely.
"Damn, damn, Datang actually treated my Tubo people like this, I want to immediately raise troops to attack, and kill them after entering Songzhou City." Songtsen Gampo said with a murderous face.
The handsome tent in the handsome tent immediately stopped: "Zampu, no. β
"Why not?" Songtsen Gampo said with a gloomy face: "They took advantage of the emptiness of my hinterland and killed my people like cattle and sheep, and I avenged my people, why not?" β
On Qinling hurriedly said: "Zanpu, I am in favor of revenge, but I am not in favor of attacking Songzhou, this Songzhou wall is high and the city is solid, there are more than 100,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty stationed in it, our army has no siege experience, and no siege weapons, even if it is captured, it will be a miserable victory, and we must not do this, if we fold the army here, not to mention Yangtong and Tuyuhun, these people will be looking at each other, and those restless lords in the country will also wait for the opportunity to make trouble." β
"That Ben Zampu swallowed this bad breath like this?"
"Princess Marga's army is almost here, with the help of the divine bird Sea Holly, and the help of my brother Zanpo, they will definitely not be able to escape, so what if they take advantage of it? If you catch a few important people, are you afraid that you won't be able to get them back? Cattle and sheep are insufficient, we can go to rob the sheep, to rob Tuguhun, as for the siege, why should we stay here with them in vain, here is a high wall, there are more than 100,000 troops, since we can't fight here, we can divide our troops to attack Minzhou, Yazhou, Maozhou and other places. β
On Qinling's words, he woke up Songtsan Gampo at once, originally just threatened the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect the Tang Dynasty to refuse to be threatened, and the most Lu was spent here, since the Tang Dynasty disturbed his rear, then, what could he do for Lu and not divide his troops and attack the Tang Dynasty?
"My good Da Lun, you are the best gift from God to me" Songtsen Gampo was overjoyed, warmly hugged this famous Tibetan general and wise man, and then spread out the map, and the two monarchs and ministers made a battle plan on the map.
Soon, Songtsen Gampo led most of the troops to continue to deter outside Songzhou City, and on Qinzan and other generals, the troops were divided into several routes, and many places attacked and harassed the Tang border.
Liu Yuan didn't know that the border of the Tang Dynasty was also full of smoke at the moment, and now his task was to find the enemy and eliminate the vitality of Tubo as much as possible.
This place is vast and sparsely populated, and it has not been two days since I encountered an enemy.
"Brother Liu, where this bird doesn't, even if there are people, it is sporadic, why don't we continue to march towards the Luo City in Tibet, where there are many people, just kill it." Changsun Chong has been a little addicted to fighting recently, and he is bent on meritorious service and revenge, and his mood is a little anxious.
Fainted, this lord, really think that he is the god of war down to earth, what are the many people, kill coolly, there are many people and soldiers, all the people in Tubo are soldiers, now the two of them are together, counting the disabled, there are only 400 people in the full fight, and 400 people want to attack other people's capitals, the courage is Jia, but there is no brain, too impulsive, it is Hou Junji, it is estimated that he is still hanging behind, picking up soft persimmons and pinching it.
Liu Yuan shook his head and said: "Our troops are too small, not to mention only 400 people, even 40,000 people, we have to think about it in the long run, otherwise, our people are not enough for others to stuff their teeth." β
"That's right, it's me Meng Lang." Changsun Chong shook his head a little disappointed, and said self-deprecatingly.
"Don't worry, there will always be a chance to make meritorious contributions."
"Report!" A scout rushed over, shouting loudly, and there was excitement in his words.
"Say!" Liu Yuan said loudly.
The scout turned over and dismounted, saluted Liu Yuan and the eldest grandson, and said, "Report, twenty miles to the east, I found a hidden weapon forging field in Tubo. β
"What? Forge yard? The eldest grandson Chong said in surprise: "These Tubo people can actually build their own armor and weapons?" β
Liu Yuan nodded and said: "This is not surprising, Tubo has plundered the Tang Dynasty many times, and it is said that every time he robs a place, he will search for craftsmen with a skill, and it is estimated that he will use the robbed craftsmen to build them for them." β
The Tubo people are not stupid, not to mention that the price of weapons and armor is expensive, they can't afford it, even the Tang Dynasty, and the export of armor is also prohibited, the Tubo people have plundered the population many times, grabbed the blacksmiths of the Tang Dynasty, and then gathered them together, and let them build weapons It is not surprising, besides, Liu Yuanzhi said that there is still iron ore in Tubo, but there is no such skill.
No wonder Tubo's strength has grown so fast recently, it turns out that he can build his own equipment, but he didn't expect to let himself run into it.
"Go on, the more detailed, the better." Liu Yuan shouted excitedly.
"Yes, General," the scout continued, "it was hidden in a deep valley, and there was a small river beside it, and they built a hut by the river, and it was very well guarded, and as far as the distribution of troops was concerned, it was estimated that there were about eight hundred men, and the subordinates speculated that the chief of a thousand households should be stationed in it." β
Eight hundred?
Liu Yuan and Eldest Sun Chong were taken aback.
Eight hundred people are not much, but compared to the current Liu Yuan and Changsun Chong, it is definitely a hard bone that is difficult to gnaw, and now it is full of calculations, and the two of them are disabled in their hands, and there are only four hundred people, four hundred against eight hundred, the outcome is unpredictable, Tubo has few iron and few weapons, and that forging field is definitely an extremely important place for Tubo, where it is guarded, it must be the elite troops of Tubo.
"Brother Liu, do you want to do it?" The eldest grandson rubbed his hands and said to Liu Yuan excitedly.
Now he has only more than 50 troops in his hands, and he will definitely not be able to deal with the 800 Tibetan elites.
That forging field is equivalent to the arsenal of Tubo, if you end this forging field, it will definitely be a great achievement, and it may be more serious than killing tens of thousands of his people to deal a heavy blow to Tubo, this is a big piece of fat, the only bad news is that there are as many as 800 people in charge of guarding, which is not good news for Liu Yuan.
"Do it, you must do it" Liu Yuanzhong nodded emphatically, and then said cautiously: "However, the enemy is outnumbered, we must plan and act, let's go, let's take a look first." β
"Okay." When Changsun Chong heard that Liu Yuan was going to do it, he was excited, and offered to observe the enemy situation together.
Liu Yuan ordered the troops to rest on the spot, and he and Changsun Chong followed the scouts, rode their horses and whips, and went to find a plan to break the enemy. (To be continued......)
