Chapter 188: Talking Freely
The Tubo army rose to 200,000, and Su Dingfang's field troops that could be directly mobilized on the front line were only 30,000, and Tuyuhun was 60,000, adding up to less than half of the people. If these 90,000 people were all Tang troops and were under the command of Su Dingfang, what I didn't say, Tubo was dead, and the 90,000 Tang army broke the 200,000 Tubo army, even if there was a deviation in the region, there would be no big leaks, and the old man Liang would not be so mad.
The key is to speak on the combat strength of the 60,000 Tuyuhun army, no one in Zuo Wuwei trusts their strength, first, they are not under the unified command of Su Dingfang, second, they are not as well-equipped and well-trained as the Tang army, and third, the military quality of the other party's generals is not up to par, and it is difficult to coordinate operations with the Tang army. It is natural for everyone to believe that once a large-scale battle breaks out, once there is a stagnation in the coordination between the two armies, it will definitely collapse.
"Maybe it's not as dangerous as everyone thinks, right?" Liang scumbag forced me to speak, and the eyes of the whole house were focused on me, which made me embarrassed. According to their thinking, either to send reinforcements or to resolutely give up Tuyuhun in order to maintain the strength of the Tang army, if I say the same, it is inevitable to be despised and despised.
"Nothing? Make it clear! Liang Jianfang saw that I had a different opinion, and his interest soared, so he immediately walked next to me from the sand table.
The danger was approaching, so I had to pretend to study the terrain, circled around the sand table a few times, widened the distance, and stopped opposite Liang Jianfang. Grabbed a few Lingqi in his hand, and slightly changed the deployment just now, "The men and horses in General Su's hands are all the children of Guanzhong, well-equipped, well-trained, stationed in Biansai for more than two years, and fought with Tubo dozens of times, and has never been defeated, its experience and combat power are undoubted, and the elite of the elite cannot be measured by ordinary troops." Speaking of which, he secretly looked up at Liang Jianfang's expression, which was okay. In contemplation, there was no sign of madness. With peace of mind, he continued: "Sand table deduction is beneficial in the general strategic direction, but it lacks randomness in actual combat, and is affected by the quality of generals and the combat capability of the army, and of course, unpredictable events such as weather conditions, which cannot fully reflect the subtle links in actual combat. In particular, Tuyuhun is different from my Datang due to factors such as geography and living habits, and its tactics and tactics cannot be constrained according to our way of thinking. Tuyuhun as an independent country. There is a way to survive. Although the national strength suffered a great loss during the war against our DPRK in those years, it is not necessarily a bad thing, and they will certainly use the lessons learned from the defeat to further improve the quality of the army. Sixty thousand Tuyuhun soldiers are just a number on the sand table, "and took out a few more flags and planted them on the sand table, "The local battle, first of all, is the people." Just like the war between our dynasty and Goryeo, almost all the regular troops of Goryeo were wiped out in just two battles. However, the Goryeo people were still able to gather nearly 200,000 troops under the city of Pyongyang to fight a decisive battle with our army, and if it were not for the smooth implementation of the earlier plan of the military headquarters to clear their food stocks, it might not be easy to break through Goryeo. Tuyuhun has more advantages than Goryeo, and once there are world-famous generals and the elite of the Tang Dynasty, they will fight together. Second, there is strong logistical support from our DPRK, and third, the local people of Tuyuhun are fierce, men, women and children are all riding and shooting, and when they gather, they will form an army. The combat power should not be underestimated......"
"Well, compared with those miscellaneous generals in Tuyuhun, it is not an exaggeration for Su Laoer to be given the title of a famous general," Liang Jianfang saw that no one could praise Su Dingfang, especially on his own territory. Seeing that I looked up and waited for him to give instructions, Liang Jianfang waved his hand generously, "Let's figure out whose family I am first, okay." Go ahead. ”
"Order!" It seems that Liang Jianfang's mood has improved, and he got through the test, God willing. The "......" was broken, and was interrupted by the old scum, and his thoughts were all confused, and he forgot what he said.
"Let you talk!" Liang Jianfang saw that I was scratching my ears and cheeks and didn't say anything, and he was annoyed, "Do you want to say it?" without saying anything! Get out! A bunch of wreck! ”
"Order!" It's all called rolling. Then don't hurry up. glanced at the brother who had just been inserted by Liang Jianfang into his mother. A group of people gave a military salute and stepped back.
Liang Jianfang gave the order to die. All the generals of the left military guards cannot go home without military orders, and the group is on standby. As a dignified marching captain, I have my own tent, ah no, office. I got the news late, and Pegasus didn't have time to go home to change his clothes after returning to Beijing, so he entered the barracks in civilian clothes, and was out of step with a group of generals in military uniforms.
"Brother Wang, stay here!"
Just about to enter the courtyard, someone behind him greeted him, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the brother who was inserted by Lao Liang. Although it is the first time I met today, this guy gave me a good impression, first of all, he is relatively good-looking, his face is angular, his nose is high, his eyes are concave, he looks like a handsome guy of mixed race, he has a good figure, he has the foundation of an inverted triangle action star, he is masculine, Blatter. Pete's temperament when he beat his wife. Especially when he made a strategic deployment speech, he never changed his expression from beginning to end, and he was so angry that he didn't move when Lao Liang played a secret weapon to drive people, and as the perpetrator, he was not hit, which made me admire.
I came here today, and I came late, I didn't say hello to others, and I didn't know what people called, so I could only smile and hug my fists, and wait for others to see me.
"The little brother is alone, and the words are pure." The handsome guy gave me a military salute, "'Zuo Wuwei Cangcao joins the army' salutes the 'History of the Marching Chief'." ”
Oh, subordinate, haha. There is a surname Dugu underground level, cool! is worthy of the surname Dugu, has the genes of the Huns, and is quite handsome. "I've all gotten out of the camp, what are you courteous, I'm still dressed in civilian clothes. Quick, sit inside, brother, as long as you don't camp in the future, you don't need to be so polite. Quickly opened the door and let Dugu Fu in, the orderly soldiers had prepared food and drink early, everyone was in a hurry, and they were already hungry when they came. I instructed the orderly to bring another box according to my standard, and said with a smile: "Eat together, don't hide it from my brother, I will eat the food in the army, together, together." ”
Dugu is a generous person, there are those who have been honed in the military, they are not pretentious, and they accept it gladly. "I have heard the name of Brother Wang for a long time, like thunder, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." Dugu Fu hugged his fists and saluted, "Brother Wang has analyzed the situation thoroughly, if it weren't for your high opinions, everyone would still have to suffer in it at this moment." ”
"Don't, it's cursing to say that again." waved his hand and said modestly: "Gao Theory, it's not counted, it's all nonsense." It's not for Liang Laoshuai to force me, I didn't speak at that time, and it is estimated that this will have been pulled out and cut several times. "That's the truth that makes wisdom in a hurry, especially for the deduction of this battle situation, I can't be more familiar with it. Before leaving, Mr. Su discussed various details with me. My account today is actually slightly modified according to Su Dingfang's original words at that time. As the commander-in-chief of the theater, people naturally think more carefully than others, and they dare to take this position, and they naturally have a responsibility in their hearts, and the difference between a famous general and a general is not a little bit, and Liang Jianfang would rather die than admit this gap.
"Brother Wang, Guo Qian," Dugu Fu took the food box handed over by the orderly, "After listening to your words, the art of war is really different from ordinary people." The little brother is embarrassed. ”
This guy is so embarrassed but not embarrassed that I am disappointed. The reason is very simple, Liang Jianfang probably has also thought about this aspect, and it can be seen from his expression when I narrated it just now that Liang Jianfang is reluctant to say it himself. I also thought carefully when I came out, and it made sense for him not to say it, but once it came out of his mouth, the effect was completely different. If Su Dingfang in front of him misses, Liang Jianfang will be guilty as the main battle faction, and coupled with this remark, the guilt will be confirmed at once, and there will be no recovery.
I'm different. Doesn't matter. As far as the marching commander is concerned, my account is my duty, and it can only be used to measure the ability of the individual to say that it is wrong and right. No one cares. The old scumbag is the old scum, and when he is angry and pretends to be stupid, he pretends to be stupid, and no one wants to deal with a person with an unsound mind, so he took this point, and forced the people below to speak.
I stared at him. "I guess there are a lot of people who think of what I said just now, and I'm the only one who is willing to say it, right? Haha......" smiled and pointed to the food box, "Quick, while it's hot, let's talk about it after eating." "An officer who can be on Zuo Wuwei, if you don't have a background, don't want to come in. This guy's surname is Dugu, look at it. The surname of Chang'an City is Dugu and mixed well, and there is only one family. Yes, it's possible. If it's really someone from a slippery family, I have to be careful.
The two of them were eating, Liang Jianfang pushed the door in, didn't say a word first, read the food of the two of us, and said with a kind face: "Zihao is pampered at home, and the food in the army is not as delicious as at home, and he has no wine to drink, so he is used to eating or not?" ”
"Habit, habit." The chief asked, and the two of them quickly stood up, and I replied respectfully, "General Liang must not be worried. The meals were very hearty and delicious, not far from home. "Although it's a bit exaggerated, it's really hearty, meat, eggs, vegetables, everything, the bread is more fragrant than at home, or how to say it's an officer, the treatment is there.
"En," Liang Jianfang nodded with satisfaction, and said kindly: "Chunfang and Zihao are old acquaintances?" It's rare, it's rare, you two are rare good materials, Chu Qiao, who belongs to my Zuo Wuwei young and strong, should be closer and closer in the future, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and have a bright future in the future! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pressed our shoulders, "Hurry up and eat, the old man will turn around by the way." The war ahead is tight, and I can't eat or eat. "I can't eat, I didn't wipe the grease stains on my mouth, and I came to be a liar, and I was too disrespectful to deceive people, I didn't even say wipe my beard, and I didn't seem to drink less wine. The old liar casually moved a chair and sat down, without any intention of turning around, and Dugufu and I put down our chopsticks again and made an expression of listening to the teachings.
"Eat, don't worry about the old man, when you're older, you have to rest when you walk, I'll sit on mine, you eat yours, it's irrelevant!" Liang Jianfang waved his hand generously, "In the army, there are not so many broken rules in the court's house, and everything other than the military order, the old man is happy to see that his people are comfortable and refreshing, and he is not so particular." Both of you are from a big family, you are knowledgeable, both civil and military, the old man likes it and is happy! ”
"Ah, in fact, I have already eaten it when the last general comes out, Brother Zihao is very gracious, this ......" Dugu Fu pointed to the lunch box, "It's a good meal in the afternoon, and it won't be bad." ”
"Yes, the last general, like the Dugu brothers, has eaten, and I want to eat leftovers in the afternoon. The leftovers are heated three times, and the meat is not changed, hehe, wait for the afternoon to eat. "Hurry up and straighten the chair and sit upright," please instruct Liang Laoshuai. ”
"What's the instructions, talk to the young man," Liang Jianfang loosened the silk silk in front of his collar, "The war in Xinjiang is all together, and some unpleasant things are coming over one after another, whether Tuyuhun can keep it is the top priority, and the saint is extremely concerned." Tomorrow, the court will still have to fight with the traitors, although the war is still two-handed, but the court has already been at a disadvantage, and the prestige between the troops cannot be lost, so they have to find a way to move back to a game. Turning his head to look at me, "What Zihao said today is reasonable. The old man was relieved when he heard this, according to Zihao, he had ordered the clerk to catch the knife and start the concert, but it only involved the battle situation of Tuyuhun, which seemed thin, and the two of them had any ideas to supplement and supplement, although those traitors did not understand the war, they were really powerful. If the basis is not sufficient, it is inevitable that someone will catch a leak. ”
Dugu Fu and I looked at each other, not knowing how to speak.
Dugu Fu nodded at me, "From the point of view of the last general, this battle is very important. Tubo used the forces of the whole country to attack, and it seemed that it was inevitable, but its door was opened, and there were flaws all around. Jiannan is mountainous. There is no shortage of brave warriors who are good at mountain warfare in our dynasty, but they can strike at their waist and recover in one fell swoop the land that has been encroached upon by Tibet for many years. The ambitions of the wolves of the various departments of Nanzhao, although they surrendered to Tibet, actually harbored evil intentions for a long time. Taking advantage of the emptiness of the country, a little incitement and funding of its grain and grass materials will surely provoke a dispute with the Tibetan land, and then the Tibetan will not be able to take care of the whole thing. Its politics will be chaotic, the army's morale is unstable, and our army will definitely have a gain in Tuguhun. ”
"Yes, Brother Dugu is reasonable!" Sure enough, if you say anything, you don't say anything, Jiannan and Nanzhao are definitely going to do it, you don't need to say it, the imperial court has made a decision a year ago...... I chimed in. Whoever speaks shouts yes.
"Well," Liang Jianfang nodded perfunctorily, "What Chunfang said is reasonable, and the imperial court has already planned it, has Zihao added anything?" ”
"Let out rumors, divide the relationship between Tubo Mangsong Mangzan and his prime ministers, and let them have internal friction." What he said to Lanling back then was just taken out and said twice, "The two countries are fighting." Grain and grass come first. The amount of grain and grass consumed by the 200,000 Tibetan army is staggering. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that there is no food to plunder wherever his army goes, and to transfer the people of Tuyuhun. Try to take away the grain and livestock, if you can't take it away, destroy it, burn the mountains every mountain, burn the forest every forest, and wait until the autumn and winter season, the grassland is flammable, in a word, don't let the Tubo people have a chance. The second point is to block the trade routes, only the money and grain goods can not be entered, and try to buy grain from Tibet, not far from the border to set up a large number of barley wineries, so that the Tubo people pull barley for wine, not afraid of trouble, the investment is small, the results are fast, once the winery is in operation, the consumption of grain is amazing. ”
"Oh?" Liang Jianfang thought for a moment, stroked his palms and laughed, "Okay, this kid is very bad!" Haha, why is it so bad? It's a shame not to pull to the frontier material. Turning his head to Dugu and replied: "You kid is not bad, you have your father's thief's eyes, you two are right together, there is no good one." Standing up with a smile, "That's it, the two boys can go home and enjoy themselves." Just one point, you are not allowed to go out of the capital, follow the rumors, and if you don't see anyone, don't make me angry. ”
General Liang, who no one dared to make trouble, was angry, and An Sheng, who stayed at my house, didn't go there, just waiting for him to pass it on. When Lanling heard the news that I was going home, he hurried over.
"Cut off the trade route, open a winery, and buy grain with a lot of money," Lan Ling thought for a long time, "It is feasible to buy grain with a lot of money, you don't need a lot of money at all, and your flower water can be converted into grain price exchange." Opening a winery is not a problem, there is no shortage of craftsmen in Jiannan. As for the trade route, the two countries have not exchanged arms, so there is no reason to break it. ”
Oh, forget about that. The official has not yet torn his face with Tibet, and the people have just fought Guhun, and the war has not been officially declared, and there is no room for recovery if you still cut off the business route. Besides, the internal government has formed a sales network in Tibet, which is to lay the foundation for espionage and sabotage in the future. "It is good to restrict the trade of necessities of life, and we must pay attention to the fact that illegal grain and salt, including metals, must not flow into Tibet." The transportation in Tubo is not convenient, although there are salt mines, but it is located in a remote area, many areas still rely on the Jiannan side of the pack horse team to transport and sell, "the work of purchasing the bird's beak should be fastened, it is cold early over there, once the old general Su holds, if the old man Cheng does not return in time, it is very likely to form a tug-of-war, wintering and waiting for the decisive battle in the coming year, and food is the key." What we have to do is to make the grain in Tibet continue to do useless work. Also, Nanzhao must hurry up, and it will look good once it is messed up. ”
"En," Lan Ling nodded, "Tomorrow morning, Liang Jianfang will definitely come up with these three things, this old killer is a soldier when he is a soldier, and an official is an official oil, hum, he is cheap." ”
"Look, stingy, aren't you? People are also loyal to your Li family, so you take advantage of me, but don't you take advantage of others? Besides, I'm eating in Zuo Wuwei, and I can't say it without making some effort. In the future, there may be a time when you will rely on others. "Lanling belongs to the monopoly mentality, and she can't take it all up emotionally, so she wants to take me all else, and she doesn't want to be the first one to do it to others.
"Don't let me," Lan Ling grabbed the written things and got up to leave, "I'll go to someone to discuss now, hand over the strategy in advance, and let the old killer catch him blind tomorrow." ”
"Don't, it's dangerous for me to do this, it's me who catches the blind and cleans up. When people pick me up in front of you, you can only stare dryly, isn't that the truth? I knocked on the table and stood up, "You should focus on the truth that you can't break the business path, as for the rest, the old man scumbag actually said in the past, bad guys, it's also quite interesting." ”
"Hehe, you're different from others, anyone can tell the meaning." Lan Ling straightened his clothes, "You have to go, don't delay, you are about to rest, you are tired for a day." ”
"Wait, let me ask you something, do you know the surname Dugu? Dugu Fu. ”
