Qin Wu brought back two extremely important pieces of information, one is that the main targets of Tubo are the Broken Battalion, Shenfeng Battalion and Ruijin Battalion on the border between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, and the establishment of these three battalions is to train soldiers to fight on the Tang Plateau, and the strategic purpose of Tubo is self-evident; The second is Tubo Zampu, and Songtsen Gampo, who is also a masterpiece, also made up and mixed in the team to welcome relatives.

Now everything is very clear and clear: the Tang Dynasty has solved the "curse mystery" of Tubo, and the Tubo people have also explored the method of solving the Tang Dynasty, that is, to slowly adapt to the plateau near the border, and then with a certain amount of food and medicine, that is to say, as long as these three battalions cannot operate normally, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty's soldiers to pose a substantial threat to Tubo, so Songtsen Gampo took advantage of Heqin, first paralyzed the Tang Dynasty, and then used the use of sending Zanmeng Saimaga to get married, under the pretext that the civil strife was just peaceful, and the four borders were unstable, and a large number of troops were sent to escort him. And Datang will not be vigilant, the actual number of people must be more than he claimed, so he touched the border of Datang, and then raided to clear the biggest hidden danger of Tubo in one fell swoop.

This trick can be said to be seamless.

Zhou Shishi's face turned blue, and he said in surprise: "How can this be?" Aren't the two countries at peace? They, how could they break the covenant? ”

Liu Yuan sneered and said: "Without a strong executor, the so-called covenant is just a piece of waste paper, and Tubo is originally a barbarian clan, where do you care about these things, the so-called covenant and pro, for them, it is just a means." ”

"Didn't Tubo just turn us upside down and suffer heavy losses? It is said that it is difficult to see herds of cattle and sheep on the Mobei Plateau, and they have just experienced civil strife and can't withstand the war, can this be a misunderstanding? Guan Yong also didn't believe that Tubo would suddenly send troops.

"It's because everyone thinks like this, that the people of Tubo dare to do this" Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and analyzed: "In fact, we have ignored one of the most important issues, that is, regions and people. In the Tang Dynasty, every time the army marches and fights, the army does not move, the grain and grass go first, and every action consumes the national treasury, and the Tubo people are different, they are born warriors, and they can go out at most by driving cattle and sheep, and they can rely on goat's milk and mare's milk to satisfy their hunger along the way. I don't even need to prepare a military salary, and I am extremely mobile."

"There is another problem, and the most important one, that everyone thinks that Tibet has just experienced civil strife and its strength has been greatly reduced. In fact, Tibet's strength is decreasing. But Songtsen Gampo had the troops in his hands. It is possible that it will not decrease but increase, because Tibet is composed of large and small lords, although there are many troops, but they only obey the orders of their respective lords, even the noble Songtsen Gampo cannot be easily mobilized, this time there is civil strife. He just purged those reactionary forces, and while consuming them, he collected and replenished them, and in general, he had more troops at his disposal. Tubo, which was divided by dozens of powerful forces, was now managed by him into an iron bucket, which was more stable, and even if he went on an expedition, there was no need to leave too many troops to defend it. ”

Liu Yuan sighed and said: "Obviously, after the defeat of Tubo, he will definitely collect intelligence, for what Tang army is not afraid of curses, can gallop across the land of Tubo, if it is dozens of people, this secrecy is okay, but thousands of people, and many of them are prisoners, this secret is no longer a secret, and then he saw that the Tang Dynasty has built three special training barracks on the border for plateau combat, which are clearly aimed at Tubo, how can you sit firmly and fall asleep, rather than being slowly eaten by the Tang Dynasty, it is better to break and stand, To directly eradicate the threat to Tibet, I have to say that this trick Songtsen Gampo did a good job is extremely clever. ”

Let the Tang Dynasty deal with itself, even if it is temporarily peaceful, it is extremely dangerous, like boiling a frog in warm water, it is better to eradicate the three big battalions at once and occupy the plateau, in this way, they still have the advantage of geographical advantages, although the troops are not enough to attack the Tang Dynasty, but they can also protect Tubo without losing, this Songtsan Gampo, really worthy of a generation of masters, in such a situation can still come up with such a method, if he does not do this, when the Tang Dynasty training is completed, Tubo will become a fish on the knife.

Li Shimin and Songtsen Gampo, these two are also the pride of the sky in this era, and they are destined to have a dragon fight, even if Li Er has Liu Yuan, a "cheater", to help, but Songtsan Gampo is still a character and will not sit still.

No, a trick of "harmony" tactics, ruthlessly won back a city.

Zhou Shishi said with a sad and indignant face: "Speechless, what a barbarian person, he actually deceived me in the Tang Dynasty, the old minister must tell the emperor, send the army of benevolence and righteousness, the soldiers of the tiger and wolf, and crusade against him." ”

If it was so easy, Li Er would not have pretended to be deaf and dumb about what Tubo had done before, what kind of benevolence and righteousness? Now is the era when the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, Liu Yuan thought a little disappretently: I think that when Li Yuan colluded with foreign clans to steal the Tang Dynasty, why not let people scold him for betraying the country? It's just that the truth of history is in the hands of the victor and is written by him, and in the face of Zhou Shishi's indignation, Liu Yuan did not speak and chose to remain silent.

Guan Yong said in surprise: "General, then, what should we do?" Will the Tubo people take the opportunity to kill Chang'an? ”

"What? Are you scared? ”

"Don't be afraid, I've long wanted to kill a few slaves to have fun." Guan Yong smiled, looking confident.

Liu Yuan shook his head and said: "Tubo is using Heqin to enter the army this time, the number should not be too much, this Qin Huo Chang also said that their main target is the three big battalions, and it is estimated that the target will not be Chang'an, not to mention the civil strife in Tubo, it will definitely have an impact on his national strength, and he can't fight a protracted war, and if he loses the Broken Camp, Shenfeng Battalion, and Ruijin Battalion, Datang's will lose the ability to attack, and Tubo also has no ability to attack, if Ben General guessed correctly, they must be retreating with victory now." ”

Hou Jun gritted his teeth and said, "General, what should we do now?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone stared at Liu Yuan, including Zhou Shishi, although he had the largest rank, but when it came to war, it was not what he was good at, and he had to listen to Liu Yuan's arrangement.

Liu Yuan took off the hat with red flowers on his head, threw it aside, glanced at everyone, nodded and said: "This time our mission is to welcome relatives, but Tubo has no faith and tears up the covenant, and this mission will be invalidated. ”

"How does this work?" Zhou Shishi also knew the importance of Liu Yuan, and immediately refused: "General Liu, there are too few people under your command, you want to go back together, and when there are fewer people, what should the emperor do if he wants to find someone to ask me for?" ”

Young people, vigorous and impulsive, if there is any loss, Zhou Shishi will not be responsible, like the Yangwei army, there are also the children of the powerful people in the DPRK and China, such as Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Wei Chi Baoqing, etc., if something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable.

Liu Yuan waved his hand and said: "The general is outside, the military order is not subject to it, and the matter is decided, and Captain Li of the Praetorian Guard obeys the order." ”

"Subordinates are in" Li Shan, the leader of the Praetorian Guard, stepped forward to receive the order.

"Let you turn back immediately, and escort Zhou Laoshangshu and a cadre back to Chang'an safely, there must be no mistake."

Li Shan hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "General, I also want to go on the field to kill the enemy." ”

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" One by one, the Praetorian Guards raised their lances and roared loudly.

This team of guards, selected from the Xuanjia Army, all of them came out of the sea of blood in the sword mountain, as soon as they smelled the war, their eyes lit up, as if a cat smelled the fishy smell of fish, for them who are accustomed to charging on the battlefield, fighting and singing with their brothers on the battlefield, happy and revenge, it is much better than being a Praetorian Guard.

When the personnel of the Ministry of Rites heard that there was a war and a Tibetan invasion, they were frightened one by one, but these guards were overjoyed, forming a stark contrast.

Liu Yuan shook his head and said: "We only have more than 100 people, we can't play a role in the face of the Tubo army, this trip is just to find out the situation, not to kill the enemy, by the way, this is not called killing the enemy, this is called sending death, okay, the emperor has an order, out of Chang'an, you are also under my control, now I will order you, immediately escort Zhou Laoshangshu back to Chang'an, there must be no mistake." ”

Although he was very reluctant, but the first rank of the official university crushed people to death, Li Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, general." ”

After Zhou Shishi and his entourage left, Liu Yuan looked at the fifty subordinates under his command, nodded lightly, and waved his big hand and said, "All set off, copy the path, Qin Wu, you also follow." (To be continued......)
