Chapter 87: Wang Sishen surrenders to the enemy
And at this moment, the Tibetan elite that Azami is facing are such a group of guys who have already been blinded by interests and are frantically testing on the edge of death. As the saying goes, the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and all for profit.
In the face of hundredfold or even thousandfold interests, most ordinary people will definitely put life and death out of the way. Just like Azhashi, a wise man like Chide Zampu who stands at the top will also be willing to take a risk, which is probably the weakness of human nature.
So everything that happened next seemed to be expected by Azaki, and before Chide Zamp, the head of the family, could speak, several powerful tribal leaders under the seat echoed with some impatience.
"General King, we are willing to be the first to sacrifice 50,000 head of cattle and sheep and slaves for you to drive...... I only hope that when I conquer the city of Qamdo, I can get your most merciful reward......" "We are also willing to give 100,000 stone barley ......" At this time, the tribesmen who took the initiative to give were scrambling, compared to the previous hesitant scene when Chide Zampu asked them to submit rice grain, it was so black and white.
In addition to showing an extremely generous smile, the rest of the Chide Zampu who continued to be embarrassed could only be the sincere unity shown by the others in the face of foreign enemies.
"Uncle, since all the leaders agree with your strategic opinions, then I have nothing else to say about my nephew, but the success or failure of this battle is related to the survival of my Tubo country......
"Thank you Your Majesty Zanpu for your success, the old minister, as a brother who is a lonely person, will definitely be for the sake of the Tubo country, and he will die and ......" After thanking Chide Zampu and getting the support of the leaders, Azashi immediately rushed back to the front line of Nyingchi to transfer troops and generals.
And the first thing he did when he arrived at the barracks was to divide the 200,000 elites into two ways and place them in the two counties of Motuo and Basu, forming a horn to block Gao Xianzhi's Shiwan Sword Southern Army from advancing for help.
In addition, he continued to divide 200,000 troops to arrange troops in Yushu, not far from Qamdo New Town, on the one hand, to encircle Qamdo to prevent Li Mao from breaking through, and on the other hand, to secretly guard against the army of Li Yi, the king of Anxin, after sweeping Tuyuhun, drove straight into the hinterland of Tubo.
And in the end, he himself only took 100,000 old and weak and 70,000 or 80,000 slave troops who had been improvised to fight Li Mao's two-month-long Qamdo fortress! Otherwise, it is not as good as heaven to say that people are not as good as heaven.
Li Mao almost laughed to death after learning that Azashi acted like this, he originally thought that Azashi, an old thief, would send hundreds of thousands of elites to the city of Qamdo where he was located, but according to the current situation changes, he has become the safest place here.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the veteran Azashi, using an army of more than 100,000 to attack a small new city is already a bit of a fuss with a knife, but what he doesn't know is that according to Li Mao's previous precise calculations, even if his 500,000 army goes together, he can at least make most of the Tubo army lose after fighting to the end! And at this time, Li Mao, who was extremely desperate for his life, also temporarily decided to build an underground secret passage for his escape, a cement rectangular tunnel about a few hundred meters long and only one person can pass, not to mention that in ancient times without explosives, even in modern times with explosives, I am afraid that in the end, I can only look at the entrance of the cave in a daze.
"Your Highness, according to your orders, there is a river outside the exit of the tunnel, and there are also people and boats waiting in the morning, dressed as herdsmen every day, and no one will find anything abnormal!"
"Well, you guys, this king is absolutely assured, digging such a tunnel is just in case, what if you don't use it? Now the Azashi soldiers are divided into three ways, and they are in the hands of the king! The old boy wanted to surround the reinforcements because he was a hundred thousand slave troops, and he really thought that the king's 10,000 soldiers and horses were muddy! He thought of the United States, and ordered you to immediately carry out the wartime officer system in the city, point out the population, distribute all materials on demand, every household is not allowed to go out, and let Yang Zhao be in charge of propaganda matters, the people of Tubo have been slaves for hundreds of years, it can be said that they have been bitter for a long time, they know it with reason, and they are moved by affection, and this king does not believe that they will not rebel! Grain, wine, meat, linen, and everything that can be distributed will be distributed, and the soldiers must not hurt the Tang and vomit the people in the slightest......"
"Whoa! Then Your Highness, do you still need to implement the method of substituting work for war that you said earlier? "Nonsense, of course, it must be carried out, how can there be a good thing in the world that eats for nothing, and it is good to persuade each family to give a strong laborer, and clearly tell them that they only need to transport rolling wood, masonry, etc. to the city tower, and there is no need to participate in the battle!" In addition, if the people in the city have any wounded or sick, they can go to the military doctor for free treatment......"
After Li Mao decided on this plan to buy people's hearts, he really couldn't think of any better way, but fortunately, Azasi thought he was winning but was in a hurry to attack, and he also left him more time to continue planning and stabilize people's hearts.
On the other hand, on the other side, Azasi's army was also waiting for the grain and grass materials to arrive on the battlefield one after another before slowly marching towards Qamdo New Town, because as Li Mao expected, Azami thought that the army on the North Road had already surrounded Qamdo like an iron bucket, and he should be in a hurry to fly to his own side at this moment.
"General, the spies have come to report that the hundreds of thousands of troops of Gao Xianzhi of Jiannan Province have been dispatched! They started their offensive very violently, but their intention was just to keep using small groups of cavalry to break through the defense line and catch up with Li Mao in Qamdo......"
"Haha...... Gao Xianzhi, who has fought a hundred battles on the battlefield, also has the next game today! Li Mao really harmed others and himself, but as the favorite prince of the Tang Emperor, if he was on the battlefield of Jiannan where he was stationed in Gao Xianzhi, I am afraid it would be difficult to explain! It is rumored that I will make the army of the South Road not fight the enemy head-on! To take advantage of the advantages of the terrain to resist steadily, it will be difficult for the Tang army to adapt to the climate of our Tubo Plateau if it rushes forward, and it will be ordered to look for fighters at leisure...... "Obey orders!" ”
"Haha...... The grasshopper shakes the tree, it's ridiculous, what kind of character Gao Xianzhi is, will he ignore hundreds of thousands of troops for the sake of a mere prince? What kind of general king are you still called! Bah...... "Presumptuous, General Wang, you can still sit here and eat roast lamb shank today, but it is all the mercy of the great general Wang!"...... How can you speak so wildly......"
In the face of Dikka's questioning, Wang Sishen did not continue to talk, but his ridicule just now also attracted the attention of Azhasi and some generals in the military tent. After all, as long as the people who lead the army at the same time think about it, then Wang Sishen's words at the moment also have some truth.
