Volume 3 Chapter 291 Daughter Country
When Li Chengqian finished reading the summarized news, the whole person was a little dumbfounded.
Is the story in Journey to the West true?
There really is a daughter country!
"Go and call Lou Ning and Qi Qi Shamen, I have something to ask." Li Chengqian immediately said.
He never thought that the rebellion of Tubo that was now disturbing him would actually be the daughter country in Journey to the West.
After a while, Lou Ning and Qi Bi Shamen came.
"See Your Highness."
Li Chengqian nodded and asked, "Which of you knows about this place?" ”
Qi Qi Shamen shook his head, he really didn't know much about Subi, but Lou Ning nodded and said, "The last general knows a thing or two about Subi. ”
"Are they really a daughter country?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
When Lou Ning heard this, he smiled: "Your Highness's statement is also appropriate, but Subi is not a daughter country, but a matrilineal clan, and the queen and the little queen are jointly ruled in the country."
We say that they are Tibetan rebels, but in fact they are not entirely right, at least in their own eyes, they do not admit that they are Tibetan rebels.
In their words, it was the Tibetans who were violating them. ”
Li Chengqian nodded, through a lot of information combined with his own knowledge, he had actually figured it out.
Today's Songtsen Gampo has not yet unified Tibet, and this Subi was a highly civilized country before, and Songtsen Gampo had conquered Subi when his father ruled Tibet.
But Songtsen Gampo's father, Nanri Songtsen, died in civil strife in the prime of life, and the nobles of Subi began to rebel again.
Today, the Tibetans consider them to be the rebels of the Tibetans, while they themselves consider themselves to be the invaded party.
"And what's going on with Subi now?" Li Chengqian asked.
He actually wanted to know if Subi was still a matriarchal society, to put it bluntly, he was still deeply influenced by Journey to the West, and he really realized it for the first time.
"Queen Subi and the little queen have been killed before and after, and now it is the prince of Subi, Mangpo Jie Sunbo, who is in charge of Subi, but in recent years, their situation has not been very good." Lou Ning said, "In the early years, Prince Subi also had contact with Murong Shun when he fled to the Turks, and he wanted to use Murong Shun to promote Tuyuhun to help him restore the country, but at that time, Tuyuhun had been suffering from snowstorms for many years, and he was really unable to help him restore the country. ”
Li Chengqian smiled, is this incapable? This simply can't be done.
Judging from the historical results, it was Tubo that overturned Tuyuhun in the end, which is very revealing.
"You say, what if we support Prince Subi's restoration?" Li Chengqian suddenly laughed.
As soon as he said this, Lou Ning was stunned for a moment, and sure enough, Li Chengqian really wanted to do something.
From the time when Li Chengqian did not allow them to kill him, he guessed that Li Chengqian must have a good intention, but he didn't expect it to be this intention.
"Your Highness, they are now in the Koubian, if we don't teach them a lesson, but support them, it will make the surrounding countries look down on us." Celestial Shamen said immediately.
If this were the case, his military prowess would be greatly reduced.
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "That's not the case, it's not that we don't have the ability to completely annihilate the enemy who came to attack, but if we really want to do this, it is not us who will benefit in the end, but Tubo."
Tibet is not yet unified, so they will not have any conflict with us for the time being, but once Tibet is unified, we will definitely become a thorn in its side.
At that time, there will be Tuyuhun in the north and Tubo in the south, and we will suffer from the enemy on our backs.
Although the development trend of the Ming Dynasty is excellent, to put it bluntly, our strength is still not enough, let alone fighting at both ends, even if we deal with Tubo or Tuyuhun alone, we don't have much chance of winning.
And our biggest enemy now is still Tuyuhun, not Tubo.
Since Subi is helping us delay the process of Tibet, why not?
Besides, don't you realize that this is a strategy for Tubo to lure tigers and drive away wolves? I hope we can help them exterminate these Tibetan rebellions in their mouths. ”
Lou Ning nodded, he knew much more about Tubo.
Khamon is a little unclear, in his opinion, what do you do? It's the right thing to do if you want to solve these enemies. However, he is a newcomer, and he doesn't know much about Li Chengqian, so it's not convenient to say much at this time.
"So what do we do?" Lou Ning asked, "Nowadays, they are still attacking fiercely, almost once they see the sky, if we don't do something, they will think that we are afraid of them, which is not good for us."
Otherwise, in the future, they will really regard our Ming Dynasty as their back garden, and they can come and leave as soon as they want. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I have to give them some color." Qi Qi Shamen also hurriedly said on the side.
Li Chengqian nodded: "This is inevitable, so this time, they attacked the city, directly beat it at one time, beat it to the pain, and subdued it, and let them see the invincible warriors of my Ming Dynasty." ”
Li Chengqian has given this point through careful consideration.
As Lou Ning said, even if you want to support them to restore the country, you must give priority to showing your strength, otherwise people will only treat you as a soft persimmon, and it will be more difficult in the future.
Moreover, in order to implement this plan, Li Chengqian even prepared things for them.
Not to mention anything else, the armaments before the iteration are beyond their reach now.
"Your Highness, the last general is going to war." As soon as he heard that the fight was going to start, Qibi Shamen immediately became excited.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "Don't worry, this time, the whole army will be dispatched, not only to defend the city, but also to fight out, to really subdue these guys!" ”
The reason why he brought the resentful army here this time was to settle the outcome of the first war.
Reasoning with the mouth is never faster than reasoning with strength.
And at the same time, in the barracks of the Suvi army.
The Subi prince Mangpoj Sunbo was in the Great Tent and was discussing with his command.
"Wang, we have wasted a lot of time this time, if we can't take this border city of the Ming Dynasty, it will be extremely disadvantageous to us." Someone said.
Mangpo Jie Sunbo, who now calls himself the king of Subi, nodded when he heard this, and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you take the border city or not, what this king values is the ordnance in their hands.
Whether it's the kind of jar that burns and explodes, or the kind of bow and crossbow that has a lot of arrows, if we have these, what are the little ones in Tibet to fear? ”
At first, he didn't actually come, it was because he heard about the various ordnance of the Ming Dynasty that he came in person.
He wants those ordnance from the Ming Dynasty, he wants it very much.
With these weapons, he was sure to fight against Songtsen Gampo.
"Why don't we send an emissary into the city?" Someone said, "After all, we don't have much grudge with the Ming court, so we sent an envoy into the city to see if we can trade with it?"
If this continues to fight, they have the advantage of armament, and even if we can defeat it, the loss will not be small. ”
"Hey, if we knew this was the case, why should we fight? Wouldn't it be nice to send it directly? Now it's like this, you say that if you don't fight, you won't fight, how does this make others think of us? ”
Speaking of this, everyone sighed.
They are also riding tigers now.
"No matter how much it is, try again tonight, it's been so long, it's not bad for a day or two." Mangbo Jie Sunbo said.
When the people heard this, they said no more.
Indeed, not bad for one or two days.
What if one or two days is the limit of Daming? Who can say for sure?
Besides, in terms of siege, in the final analysis, it is the attacking side that has more the initiative, after all, they are the ones who control the rhythm of the war.
Of course, it is another way to say that when you encounter that kind of guard who is so strong that it is unreasonable.
Late at night, when both sides wanted to gain more for themselves with a big victory, the big battle began.
But this time, Qibi Shamen and Lou Ning obviously didn't have the intention of hiding before, and as soon as they came up, they were full of firepower, what incendiary bombs, crossbows, and trebuchets, they were overwhelmed.
For them, this battle is a decisive battle!
Li Chengqian wanted to directly subdue the Subi army through this battle, so as to achieve his goal, that is to say, if they wanted to make military merits, this was the last chance.
The Subi army is also a little confused, what's going on? I've never seen you so fierce before? What kind of medicine are you taking today?
And just under the city gate, the resentful army led by Yi Yuanfeng has also been assembled, as long as Li Chengqian gives an order, they can go out of the city at any time to fight.
Today's resentful army, from a few hundred people to the present, is also a strong army that has won a hundred battles, and it is when morale is like a rainbow, for such a small scene, they really don't take it seriously.
Above the city, Li Chengqian looked at the Subi army in the dark, and said with a smile: "Converge a little, like your style of fighting, if you continue to fight, the enemy army will withdraw." ”
"These Tibetan thieves don't need to be beaten." Chemishamon laughed.
Lou Ning said: "It's not that these Tibetan thieves are not beaten, but the gap is too big, and they don't know the power of ordnance at all." ”
"Okay, don't be a Tibetan thief." Li Chengqian said, "Remember, from now on, they are the Subi army, and they can only be the Subi army, understand? ”
"Yes, yes, yes." Khisha Men immediately said, "These Suvi armies are really not good. ”
Although the meaning is not very different, the meaning is different.
In the second half of the night, Li Chengqian saw that the opponent's offensive had weakened, so he didn't let Liu San inform Yi Yuanfeng and others to go out of the city for a decisive battle.
Ihara Feng and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and one by two rushed out as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
But it's a pity, I don't know if the Subi army found something, or if they fought too hard before the Khama Shamen, and the Subi army actually retreated.
When the sky brightened, Ihara Feng and the others all looked extremely disappointed.
"Your Highness, those guys are running fast, as soon as we left the city, they have already retreated, and they can't catch up." Wan Qipu said, "Damn, it's faster than Murong Fuyun back then!" ”
Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Okay, since they have retreated, let's wait for another opportunity." ”
The Subi army would run away, which he didn't expect, and he was ready to end the farce tonight, the First World War, but since the Subi army ran away, he had no better way.
In the final analysis, the field war is fought at the right time and place, and he will not let his command take risks, there is no need.
If you really fall into the trap of the other party, then it is called a gain that outweighs the loss.
But at noon, the Suvi army came again.
After besieging for half an hour, they retreated again, and when it was just dark, they came again, and as usual, they slipped away when they saw the army out of the city.
At this point, everyone knows that this is the strategy of the Suvi army.
"Your Highness, it's not a way to go on like this." Lou Ning said, "They can wait for work, but we have to be on guard against them all the time." ”
Li Chengqian also understood this truth, he didn't expect things to develop like this, and he was a little irritable at the moment.
Sure enough, plans never keep up with changes.
"I have a plan." Chemishamon said.
Li Chengqian looked at him and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"Since they will run away after a fight, why don't we ambush outside the city by chasing them out? When the time comes, see where they are going?
Today, there are more than 5,000 people in the headquarters of the last general, more than 3,000 people in the headquarters of General Lou, and there are also the resentful troops of General Yi.
Add to that the advantage of our armaments and surprises, and they are certainly no match for us. ”
After Qi Qi Shamen finished speaking, Yi Yuan Feng was puzzled: "This is to withdraw all the troops in our city?" But in this way, when they saw that there were almost no troops in the city, they naturally knew that this was a ploy, so how could they be easily fooled? ”
"Hey, hey." "Who said there were no troops in the city? Aren't there tens of thousands of people in the city? We don't know if they can fight or not, but if you fill up the number in the city, it must be no problem, right? ”
Hearing him say this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Not to mention, it's a real idea.
"General Chebi is really talented." Li Chengqian also smiled, "Just do what General Qibi said!" ”
Will this work?
Absolutely.
As for what kind of ploy it is, it's hard to say.
Soon, everyone was busy again.
However, such an ambush is definitely not immediately effective.
After all, tens of thousands of people were ambushed outside the city, and they must be fully prepared.
For three days in a row, Li Chengqian and others were busy with this matter.
And in the past three days, they have indeed been plagued by the tactics of the Suvi army to exhaust the enemy.
These guys really don't do anything about people, they don't care whether others rest or not, anyway, when they are rested, they will come to pick up, and when they are done, they will go back to continue to rest, if Li Chengqian doesn't want to beat them to the bone, he can't wait to give them a hard beating.
By the fourth day, the city had been replaced by men who were working in the city.
They say that they are people's husbands, but as long as they take up arms, where can they still look like people's husbands?
Of course, the herdsmen on the grassland themselves are like this, they can graze hundreds of miles when they get off the horse, and they can travel thousands of miles when they get on the horse.
In order to be able to completely subdue these Subi armies in one battle, Li Chengqian even gathered 20,000 people behind the city gate, and when the time comes, there will be a big battle, which is also a deterrent.
"Here comes Your Highness." At this moment, a man said.
Strange to say, from his tone, Li Chengqian actually heard a trace of excitement.
"You're not afraid?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.
Minfu smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of?" It's not just a bunch of Tibetan thieves. ”
What he said was untruthful, and the reason why he was not afraid was because Li Chengqian was also here, so he was not afraid.
In their words, where is the life of a king precious?
Are you not afraid of me?
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "When they get closer, you can just do what this king told you before, and you don't have to fight with them, understand?"
Their lives are not as valuable as yours, you know. ”
"Don't worry, Your Highness." When everyone heard this, they laughed.
Li Chengqian's words are heartwarming, and the big guys are all angry when they hear it.
Soon, the Subi army rushed under the city wall again, and those people were indeed doing what Li Chengqian had arranged, but after all, it was still different from the professional army, or it was not enough to drill and seemed to be out of order.
But for Li Chengqian, this is enough.
As for Mangbo Jie Sunbo, he was too excited, he saw an opportunity, the defenders of the city wall obviously did not have the same tacit understanding as before, which showed that their tired plan worked.
"Kill, break this city today!" Seeing this, Mangbo Jie Sun Bo shouted.
And just when the Subi army was all on the way, the Qibi Shamen finally came out from the left outside the city, and Yi Yuanfeng led people to outflank from the right, and Lou Ning didn't know when he actually touched the back of the Subi army, and for a while, more than 10,000 people from the three sides killed out.
Mangbo Jie Sun Bo was dumbfounded for a moment.
Where did so many people come from?
He's looking at the city, the strength of the city hasn't changed, where did these people come from?
However, he was not allowed to think about it at all, and the two armies were only engaged in a matter of moments.
Calculated or not, coupled with the threat above the city, in an instant, the Subi army began to mess with itself.
And killing embryos like Wan Qipu is even more crazy, Li Chengqian saw this, and sighed helplessly, and said, "Get out of the city." ”
Soon, the city gate was opened, and Li Chengqian walked out of the city gate with Liu San, Wei Chi Baolin and others, and Murong Wanqiu, who was dressed in red, also followed by him, and behind him, there were 20,000 people who temporarily acted as an army to plunder the formation.
Seeing Li Chengqian and the others, the Subi army immediately panicked.
And the army?
It's......
"Is King Subi here?" Li Chengqian shouted, and the 20,000 people behind him shouted in unison.
And as Li Chengqian went out of the city, the battle actually stopped magically for a while, but Yiyuan Feng, Lou Ning and Qibi Shamen still surrounded the Subi army under the city wall.
When Mangbo Jie Sun Bo heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "You are the King of Ming?" ”
"It's the king." Li Chengqian asked, "I have just established the Ming Dynasty, and I have no grievances with you in the past, and I have no enmity in the near future, I don't know why King Subi wants to invade my border city?" Is it really easy for me to be deceived by the Ming Dynasty? ”
Mang Bojie Sun Bo also didn't understand what Li Chengqian meant at this time, and said in his heart, you are powerful at this time, you have the final say, what do you mean by asking me?
Whether it's Tuyuhun or their Subi or Tubo, who has a hard fist and who is reasonable, will you reason with me at this time? I don't even think I have a reason to talk about.
What made him even more curious was that Li Chengqian actually came here in person for the border conflict, should he pay so much attention to it?
Of course, since Li Chengqian asked, he was not without reason, and even said: "Joke, what is the intention of building three cities on the border between the two countries at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, do you still need this king to say nothing?" ”
How can there be no reason for a war, even if they will find a reason.
It doesn't matter if it's lame or not, as long as it's a reason.
"The king of Subi is quite lenient, does this king need your Subi approval to build a city on his own territory?" Li Chengqian joked, of course, he is just talking nonsense with this guy at this time.
At the end of the day, it's all non-nutritious.
He couldn't really annihilate the Subi army, but the Subi army had to have an explanation for attacking the city, so he could only talk nonsense with the king of Subi.
"Okay, this king doesn't have time to talk to you, the matter has come to this, just say it, what do you want?" King Subi asked.
It's all come to this point, and it's pointless to talk about those who don't, and it's not the first time that he has fallen into the hands of others since the king of Subi fought in his life, so you can just give a charter.
Li Chengqian was stunned, is it so simple?
He still didn't know about this Subi king, who had been captured three times before and after adding this time, but each time he miraculously escaped.
However, when he asked this, Li Chengqian was stumped.
Can you kill it?
If you can kill him, you can kill him sooner! Do you have to wait until now?
He was counting on this guy to help delay the development of Tibet, how could he really do anything to him.
After pondering for a moment, Li Chengqian said helplessly: "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no intention of clashing with the surrounding areas, but this time the King of Subi led the army to attack, if he didn't give an explanation to the Ming Dynasty, it would be impossible to get by."
This time, the Ming Dynasty sent tens of thousands of troops, and its grain and grass consumption should be borne by Subi. ”
As soon as he heard Li Chengqian's words, King Subi was happy in his heart, as long as he could let them go back, he would not worry about leaving the green mountains without worrying about no firewood: "Is King Ming's words true?" ”
"What?" Li Chengqian snorted coldly, "Do you really want to have another fight with my Ming Dynasty?" Although my Ming royal court has not been established for a long time, it is not something that your little Subi can provoke, if the king of Subi insists on fighting, then he will fight! ”
"That's not what the king meant." Subi Royal Road.
He couldn't understand what Li Chengqian's move meant, and why he wanted to let them go, there must be a deep meaning in this, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
"Daming and Subi are originally friends, but King Subi's move is to drag the people of the two countries into the quagmire of war, how unwise?" Li Chengqian sighed.
But the more he was like this, the more puzzled King Subi became, what was this......
"Since you're here, does King Subi dare to enter the city?" Li Chengqian said.
When King Subi heard his words, he didn't know what medicine was sold in Li Chengqian's gourd, but the matter had come to this point, and he was not afraid: "That's what I mean." ”
"Wang ......" As soon as he finished speaking, someone under his command spoke up.
King Subi waved his hand and said, "If King Ming wants to murder this king, you don't need to do this, you just wait here." ”
That's right, Li Chengqian really wants to harm him, there is no need to be so troublesome, just now, as soon as the army moves, he and his subordinates will probably not be able to escape.
It's all come to this point, what does he have to worry about, besides, he really wants to refuse, and it seems that he lacks courage.
"If you are not at ease, you can enter the city together." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Before, you were very curious about the border city of my Ming Dynasty, how do you want to go in and have a look?" ”
"That's not necessary." King Subi immediately said, "It was just a slight misunderstanding before, and this king thought that the reason why the Ming royal court built a city on the border between our two countries was to plot against me Subi, but now it seems that this king should think too much." ”
He is also a thick-skinned person, since Li Chengqian has given him the steps to go down, he will definitely go down.
"Please." Li Chengqian said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the 20,000 people behind him immediately divided into two sides, leaving a passage in the middle.
King Subi did not hesitate, and immediately walked up.
After a short time, everyone came to Li Chengqian's temporary residence.
And after they entered the city, outside the city, the Khamshamun forcibly made the Subi army lay down their weapons, in their words, since they were soft, then it would be more simple.
That is, Li Chengqian did not let them go on a killing spree, otherwise they would even want to kill another batch of Liliwei.
In the city, Li Chengqian said with a smile: "King Subi is really bold, aren't you afraid that this king is luring the enemy to go deeper?" ”
King Ming laughed. King Subi said, "For King Ming, the overall situation has been decided, and the only thing I can't figure out is why King Ming would let me go?" ”
This is his biggest doubt.
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "The reason is very simple, the Ming court is short of food. ”
"How can the Ming court be short of food?" King Subi said, "This shouldn't be the case, this king heard before that there is an endless stream of grain teams coming from Datang every day in Sun Moon Mountain, how can there be a shortage of food?" ”
"King Subi, that's the old yellow calendar." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Not long ago, Datang had banned grain from leaving the country, and in the future, the Ming Dynasty court would not be able to get a grain from Datang, this king said so, do you understand?" ”
King Subi nodded, since Li Chengqian said so, the news must be true, after all, such news will be known after a little inquiry.
"But what does this have to do with my Subi?" He was still a little confused.
"Are you short of food?" Li Chengqian asked.
The king of Subi wants to curse, if I don't lack food, I can use it to invade your border?
Li Chengqian said: "Don't deny it, this king knows that Subi is also lacking. ”
"What does King Ming mean?" King Subi is really a little confused, what do you want to do?
Li Chengqian said with a smile: "But I know that there is no shortage in Tibet!" You Subi didn't dare to make a move against Tubo before, it was just because of his lack of strength, but who is better to deal with than the soldiers of Tubo and the Ming Dynasty? ”
"What is the intention of King Ming, just say it." King Subi seemed to have guessed something, but he was not sure.
Li Chengqian said directly: "As long as you Su Bi dare to snatch grain from Tubo, the weapons you see, my Ming court can sell you!"
At the end of the day, we can actually join forces. ”
