Volume 12 A Thousand Autumns Require a Hundred Battles Chapter 1240 Xiliang (4)

The Tubo people really didn't do it, they only fought under the ancient city of Xiliang for three days, and they couldn't bear the casualties, and compared with the Tubo Empire that shocked the Western Regions, there was already a world of difference.

That night, only Li Bandit and some of his henchmen were left in the tent, and their contempt could no longer be concealed, even the two leaders of the lowlands were sneering.

Of course, this is not surprising, the tribal origins of the Tibetan lowlands are extremely chaotic, most of them were attached to the Tubo Empire at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and they have never had any respect for the Tubo royal court, and most of them still have more or less Han blood, speaking of which, when there is such a lowland king as Li Bandit, they seem to be very close to the Han people.

The Qin and Tibetan people traded war horse skins, and most of them interacted with the lowlanders, but now, some of the tribes in the lowlands are actually reluctant to call themselves Tubo, they either revert to the title of a rather ancient tribe, or simply call themselves the Han people, and the influence of the Tibetan highlands on them is actually completely disappeared by this time.

It is conceivable that the day when it really becomes under the rule of Great Qin may not be too far away, of course, this has nothing to do with the origin of the Tibetan lowlands.

After all, most of the territory of the Tibetan lowlands was occupied by the Tubo army when it helped the Tang Dynasty quell the turmoil, in other words, this is the hometown of the Han family, so when the Han people return to this place, it can be regarded as no expansion of territory, only a recovery of the homeland.

Without further ado, at this time, in the tent, except for these two lowland tribal leaders in Tubo who are in-laws with the Guiyi King Li Bandit, the rest of the people are all the confidants of the Guiyi King Li Bandit.

At this time, there is no need to be afraid to speak.

For the march and war, there are several experts here, all of whom were born in the Northwest Town Army, and they were ordered to come to Tibet, at least for a year or two, and most have been in the lowlands for nearly ten years.

The people who came early were all sneaky, and they were all the henchmen and generals of the Zhang family in the northwest. Later, those who came to Tubo were much more upright, and most of them had military positions in the Qin army, plus some people in the Guiyi Palace, the number was actually quite a lot.

In fact, when the Tibetan lowlands were annexed, there were people in the Great Qin Dynasty who mentioned yì. According to the example of the barbarians in Shu, the regulations were established. Or divide the region, set up counties, etc.

However, such a proposal did not get much secondment, and the most important point is the reason why the lowland is attached to the country for a short period of time and is not easy to move lightly.

Of course, the Great Qin court did not turn a blind eye, and after Emperor Chengwu ascended the throne, the government gradually stabilized, and some generals were subordinate officials. He also came to Tubo in 6 years, called to show goodwill, but in fact, he was preparing for the real inclusion of the Tibetan lowlands under the rule of Great Qin......

However, in the past few years, the Great Qin has fought in the south and the north, for the newly attached lowland tribes. It is also impossible to restrain too strongly, and according to such a situation, the domination of the Tubo lowlands by the Guiyi King Li Bandit will last for a long time, and even his autonomy. It is much larger than the steppe tribes attached to the north.

Don't talk about these things or not, when these people were left in the tent, the smile on the face of Guiyi King Li Bandit gradually faded.

Don't look at his relaxed and confident appearance before, in fact, his heart has also begun to lift. There have been many battles over the years, but except for the attack on Zhuoluo City a few years ago, they are all fighting with the Tibetan barbarians.

In the final analysis, no matter how wonderful his experience is, he is just a horse bandit leader who has been a low-level officer of the Qin army, and he can get to where he is today, although there is a reason for his own talent, but the most important thing is actually due to fate, when it comes to the ability to march and fight, he is not even as strong as some Qin army officers in the tent.

When the tent was cleared, his brows furrowed, and he muttered, "Damn, an army of more than 100,000 people, it looks majestic, it's not as refreshing as Lao Tzu brought his brothers back then......"

He didn't have much of a clear idea of how to lay down this thousand-year-old city, he only knew that the Tubo cavalry was not able to attack the city at all, it was only three days, and the barbarians from the highlands already complained, if they stayed here for ten days and half a month, I don't know if there would be a mutiny?

After staying in the lowlands for a long time, he understood that these tribal warriors were very brave and fearless, but once a confrontation was formed, after a few days, some tribal leaders dared to drag their own people back to their own tribes, so in the civil strife in Tibet, the fierce fighting never lasted ten days.

The lowlanders are better, especially the highland coalition army, fighting, inexplicably collapsed, in the end, most of them are reluctant to take the lives of their own tribal warriors to win the victory, and the small tribes, do not want to participate in the war at all, most of them are under the persecution of the majority, will send warriors.

In this way, where can we talk about the morale of the army?

Just like this time to attack Western Xia, all the departments are thinking about the spoils after the victory, and once they are frustrated, it is not surprising that they will make some trouble.

Looking at the gloom on his face, most of the people in the tent understood where the joints were, and they all quieted down, and the two clan leaders looked left and right, but they were thinking in their hearts, the invincible king seemed to ...... Well, so after that, are you going to go back?

Thinking of this, the two of them felt relaxed for a while, the Tubo people are very similar to the grassland tribes in the north in all aspects, but there is one thing that is different from the grassland tribes, that is, in the fanatical preference for plundering.

They are more hard-working and hard-working than the steppe tribes, and their lives are more difficult, but they are also more content with the status quo than the steppe tribes.

These two, with the mentality of the standard Tibetan chieftains, are reluctant to let the tribal warriors shed blood to compete for the invisible spoils of war.

Therefore, the two of them sipped the wine of the Han people, while waiting for the king's decision easily, in their opinion, it is already good to be able to hit Xiliang City, and no one can say anything about going back, and then go to the northwest, it will be even more desolate, and take people to eat sand?

However, obviously, the other people in the tent didn't think so, in the hearts of the senior Qin army officers, if they couldn't capture the ancient city of Xiliang, then the army would have no place to stay, and this attack on the summer would be considered a no-nonsense way.

Further, if the main force of the Chaoshun Army Division of the Right Wing of Western Xia cannot be entangled or destroyed, it is likely to affect the entire battle situation of attacking Xia.

And for Li Bandit, if he can't conquer Xiliang City, he can't explain to his brother......

"It's better to take a step back and ......"

Someone mentions yì, as soon as you hear it, you can understand what he means, after three days of fierce fighting, he also captured a few prisoners, and knows some of the situation in the city, so this mention yì is not outrageous.

However, Li Bandit immediately shook his head and said no, as soon as he heard it, he knew that this was a person who preferred to take risks and calculate, this was not a forbidden Qin army, when this morale was frustrated, something might happen as soon as he retreated, this was obviously a bad idea, he didn't need to look at it to know that this guy had not been in Tibet for a long time, and he didn't even understand how the Tubo people fought.

"There is not much grain and grass in the city, it is better to surround it for a few more days, and the city will be in chaos."

In fact, up to now, there are not many ways to break the city, and the situation of the Left Wing Military Division is also extremely bad, with no help from outside and no food and grass inside.

At that time, the Xixia people were strong and clear, and even the wells along the way were blocked, and the carcasses of cattle and horses were thrown into it, making it impossible for people to drink.

In addition, there are reinforcements from all over Gansha watching on the side, the most fierce of which is the reinforcements of the military division of Baima Qiangzhen, and it is they who finally defeated the Qin army.

But now, Xiliang City is a lonely city, not to mention any reinforcements, and before even the strong wall Qingye has time to do it, it has already been surrounded in Xiliang City.

Therefore, as long as there is patience and time, Xiliang City will be broken.

However, the Tubo people who came here, the theory of besieging the city, is not suitable for them who obviously lack patience and the strength to fight for a long time.

Fang Banru was worthy of being a scholar, seeing that Li Gang frowned and did not speak, he immediately understood the crux of the problem, and said: "It's better to do more to appease, with the prestige of the prince, are you afraid that others will not listen?" If anyone...... You might as well make an example. ”

Li Gang couldn't help rubbing his head, "This damn it's suffocating." ”

The irritability in his heart gradually rose, but he suddenly remembered that when he was talking about the war with the Zhao brothers, the Zhao Shi brothers seemed to have said that fighting a war is nothing more than four words, bold and careful.

As for what kind of means to use, as long as you can win, there is nothing to say, and it has been the same since ancient times.

More than 100,000 troops, only three days of fierce fighting, there is no meaning of working together, the reason is not clear to them, people are really annoyed, these Tibetan barbarians, really not a thing, at this time there is no time to worry too much about them, and then to settle accounts with them, is it really Lao Tzu to respect the Buddha?

Thinking of this, my heart is a lot happier, and I also have some thoughts......
