Chapter 139: The Consciousness of Workers
The former Yumen Army garrison west of Jiuquan City, where Tubo set up heavy troops, thought to be a mobile force, convenient to support the Ganzhou front line at any time.
Or send troops to Guazhou at any time, or even go to Shazhou to penetrate the Hexi Corridor.
At this moment, the Tubo Ru lord (analogous commander of the military region) Lang Meise, who was in charge of military affairs this time, was restless.
In front of him stood a burly Tibetan general dressed in cyan silk, who was none other than Enlan Dazarukong, who had retreated from Shazhou.
When this person led his troops to retreat, he was ambushed by Cui Qianyou's 1,000 elite cavalry, almost to the extent that he was only spared. However, Nlan Dazarugon is not a person who sits still, and does not think that his failure is due to his inferior skills, so he has not lost his fighting spirit.
With a few tribes, Enlan Dazarugon took a small number of troops, and after getting rid of Cui Qianyou's entanglement, he made a detour to Guazhou, and finally arrived at the Tubo army camp in Suzhou, where he defected to Lang Meise, who believed in Bon, and temporarily returned to his control.
Lang Meise ruled the subivi region of Tibet and was the lord of Sun Boru.
The spread of Buddhism in Tibet began in the southern part of the city of Raksha. Because the Tibetan Zanpu worshipped Buddha in the past dynasties, the farther away from the city of Logos, the stronger the power of believing in Bon. Now the Subi region has almost become the stronghold of Bon.
Nlan Dazarugon can't go back directly to the city, and if he goes back, he will die. He knew very well that if he didn't make a "meritorious service", he wouldn't be able to explain to Zampu when he went back.
Whether it's annihilating the Tang Army, or pitting a handful of Lang Meise, both can do. Nlan Dazarugon is a very flexible person, and he does not rely entirely on religious beliefs to distinguish between friend and foe.
Because of the dispute between Buddhism and Bon, Lang Meise has always been at odds with the current Tubo Zanpu Chide Zuzan (also known as Ruler Belt Zhudan), and it has been a long time.
This time, Zampu ordered Lang Meise to bring troops to Suzhou, which did not have the consideration of weakening the military strength of the Subi region.
After all, the Subi region belongs to the traditional area of the Qiang people, in the northeast of the Tibetan territory, not the core area of Tibet. The core of Tibetan rule was in the southern city of Lhasa and the surrounding areas, and it was not a day or two that there was a conflict between the two.
After all, weakening the thorns on one's side with the help of foreign enemies is a routine operation, and there is nothing strange about it.
And the family of Nlan Dazarugon is not far east of the city of Rakhe, and his power comes from Zampu, so it is impossible for him to follow Ron Plum with an iron heart.
"Those are all rare wealth, and you just let the Tang people burn, destroy, and take them away?"
Ron May asked rhetorically, dissatisfied.
deliberately set aside a bag for Tang Jun to fight, I have to say that this flaw is indeed a big deal.
"The Tang Army in Shazhou is elite and brave, and it is not easy to deal with. It is not advisable to storm strongly, it is better to lure the enemy into the depths, and lead this army to Suzhou to fight, and when the time comes, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will besiege the Lord Ru, no matter how you say it, it will be a sure win! ”
Enlan Dazaru bowed and saluted.
"Hmph, I hope your trick works."
Ron Plum snorted coldly, and his mouth was unrelenting, but in fact he had nothing to do with Enlan Dazarugon.
Now the Tibetan army on the eastern front is under great military pressure. The Tang army challenged every day, and Wang Zhongsi let the Hexi armies take turns to attack the Jiayuguan Gorge near Jiuquan City, which was constantly draining the morale and manpower of the Tubo army.
Their idea was to use their logistical advantage to drag the Tibetan army to death! And the supply of the Tang Army, Liangzhou is fully supplied!
In the autumn and winter, Suzhou and Guazhou are all large households with a shortage of grain in the Hexi Corridor, and thousands of Tang troops are required to provide grain from Liangzhou on weekdays, and now the Tubo army is concentrated here with nearly 100,000 people, and the logistical pressure is not ordinary.
Now the Tibetan army has almost scavenged all the grain and straw that can be found in the two states!
The Tang army on the opposite side can get grain supplies from Liangzhou and Ganzhou, and when the time comes, the Tubo army will be in a desperate situation!
And this time they were about to send away a less important bag, and Ron Plum almost didn't personally carry a knife to the front line to supervise the battle.
Suddenly, a Tibetan guard walked into the stone house and saluted Lang Meise: "Lord Ru, I just received the news that the Tang Army has attacked Nangxia in Changle County today. ”
Ron Mei stood up and said excitedly: "Really? ”
"It's true, but it's ......"
The guard stopped talking.
"Say!"
"But after they burned the supplies in the bag, they withdrew."
"It can't be!"
Before Ron Meise could speak, Enlan Dazarugon couldn't help but interject, looking shocked.
The trap he set is absolutely foolproof, as long as he is an enterprising Tang army general, he can't help but want to "finish his work in one battle", and want to become the winner or loser in the decisive battle between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty!
That's right, Enlan Dazarugon used himself as a template to push back, thinking that he would make such a choice, so he set up a trap and waited for the Tang army to collide headlong on the border between Guazhou and Suzhou.
He will be fooled into a strategy, how can it be easily cracked?
The Tang army in Shazhou is capable, but it is not easy to deal with, and he tried it out last time. So the more such generals and the more such an army, the more they want to make contributions!
How can they resist the temptation of "victory in sight"?
"I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and I'll lead the troops to chase after you now, hoping to catch up."
Ron May said with a cold face.
If this one hadn't been one of the Praetorian Guards commanders around Zampu (there were four of them), Ron Plum would have taken him down and beheaded him by military law! Another point is that they are all Tibetan nobles who believe in Bon, and now the struggle between Buddhism and Bon in Tibet is fierce, and Bon actually does not have any advantage.
That's why Ron Plum let Nlan Dazarugon go.
Despite his previous defeats, Nlan Dazarughan is still an important member of the Bon camp.
"Lord Ru, go after it now, the outcome is unpredictable. In the end, I thought it would be better to use static braking. ”
Enlan Dazaru bowed and saluted.
Until now, he still doesn't understand why the Tang army didn't dare to continue to attack Guazhou and even Suzhou after coming to Changle County.
At the very least, they should take Jinchang County, Guazhou Prefecture, there are not many Tubo troops there!
How did they see through this trap?
Nlan Dazarugon had no answer in his heart, and no one could answer him.
It's a pity to pursue it now, I'm afraid it's too late.
"I ordered you to pursue, not for you to bargain with me."
"Order!"
Enlan Dazarugon sighed helplessly and took the order.
This battle will undoubtedly be defeated, it is better to flee to Luocheng with his cronies after the "defeat", the defeat of the Hexi war is decided, and there is no help.
He originally wanted to win the Tang army in Shazhou first, and then take advantage of the emptiness of Shazhou to take away the mobile force of the Tubo army of tens of thousands in Suzhou, and kill Shazhou in one go. After breaking the second city, the road to the Western Regions was opened, and the game of chess in Tubo was revitalized.
The Western Regions are so large that you can gallop freely with Dunhuang as the starting point.
When the Tang Army loses the western section of the Hexi Corridor, what drama can be sung?
If the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate are mobilized, then the forces of all parties in the Western Regions will also be ready to move. The Western Regions are so big, and there are not tens of thousands of people in the town, if the Tang Dynasty Mansion is really effective?
It's a pity that the high-level of the Tubo army did not agree with him, and still put the strategic direction on the front line of Liangzhou, hoping to become a big fat man in one bite and monopolize the Hexi Corridor.
How could that be! Unless the Tang Dynasty is dead, such a plan can be executed!
"Wait......"
Ron Maise stopped Nlan Dazarugon again.
"When we go to Jiayuguan Gorge with our troops, we don't have much food and grass. Once the autumn harvest is made, there will be more grain in Liangzhou and Ganzhou, and the strength of the Tang army will be stronger.
Let's fight them in the near future. ”
Ron Plum sighed and said, "I'll go with you this time." ”
"Order!"
Nlan Dazarugon nodded, and then exited the stone house. The scorching sun outside made him dizzy.
It's too hasty to fight a decisive battle now, and it's completely a human life.
……
Looking at the familiar small town of Shazhou in front of him, Fang Chongyong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to feel that his whole body was about to fall apart.
Hurry up and hurry, and finally get back before dark! Along the way, he was bumpy and tired, for fear that the Tubo army would pursue, and he was afraid that he would burst chrysanthemums after being caught up by others.
If he continued to play like this, he felt like he was going to have a heart attack!
The camel he rode on this expedition was not a good bird, and he always liked to turn his head and bite his cuffs from time to time, often looked at him with stupid eyes, and once spat in his face.
It is no wonder that horses are the preferred mounts of human beings, and the various pretensions of camels are not mixed with them, and they will find fault in all kinds of ways. Horseback riding doesn't have this stinky problem.
Because of the attack on Jinchang County, the major generals in the army had some regrets. However, this time they were able to come back with all beards and tails, and by the way, they brought back hundreds of war horses, and they were not dissatisfied.
The emptiness of the Tibetan people's defense was beyond everyone's expectations, and the basic combat purpose had been completely achieved, so there was really nothing to complain about. The generals just felt that they had wasted a rare opportunity.
After all, it's rare to have such an opportunity to knock a stuffy stick behind your back!
But among the 3,000 soldiers who went out with the army, there were many of them who were confused.
Of course they welcome it if they don't attack Jinchang County, and it's understandable that the sheep can't be brought back, after all, that thing affects the speed of the march. However, the treasures in the tent of the Tibetan military camp could be taken but not taken, which made them not understand why.
It's not that you can't take it, and it doesn't affect the speed of the march!
What a pity that the last fire burned!
Their understanding of the art of war cannot reach such a high level. Not to mention that if Fang Chongyong asked them to return with the wealth of the Tibetans, maybe Enlan Dazarugon would really lead his troops to chase all the way. Whether these 3,000 of them can return to Shazhou safely or not is a matter of two things.
"Envoy, thinking about it all the way, I feel that it is indeed right not to attack Jinchang County this time. Suzhou doesn't know how many Tubo people there are, and their distribution is not clear, so the enemy situation is unknown, I am afraid it will be difficult to come back.
The Shazhou border army has already made quite a lot of achievements, and the desire to win is not strong, so it is better to protect itself. ”
Cui Qianyou rode a camel close to Fang Chongyong's side and said in a low voice.
He thought about it along the way, and found that Fang Chongyong had indeed done his best to do his best this trip, and it was indeed too risky to continue to move forward. At that time, the reason why all the generals wanted to fight was actually mainly due to the lack of people's hearts and swallowing elephants.
After calming down, not only Cui Qianyou, but also many generals in the army felt that it was inappropriate.
In fact, this time he cleanly solved a bag of the Tubo people, seized hundreds of horses, and in any case, he could give an account to the Jiedu Mansion in Hexi.
Those military exploits have accumulated before and after, and none of these high-ranking generals can be promoted to the next level!
"Being an official for thousands of miles is just for food and clothing; When a soldier eats food, just to make ends meet; The enemy situation is unknown, and there is no supreme life, what is there to toss?
What soldier has no relatives and friends, no father? Is their life not their life? Is it for the sake of a few silks, or the heads of a few Tibetans, to send them to death? ”
Fang Chongyong smiled helplessly, he knew that many people were destined to laugh at him in private this time, but he did not regret his previous decision.
There are so many things that people who can understand them naturally don't need to explain more; People who can't understand, no matter how much they explain is like playing the piano to a cow, Fang Chongyong is too lazy to explain to others why he is so cowardly.
The situation of this attack on the logistics stronghold of the Tibetans was like knowing in his previous life that there might be a time bomb in a certain airliner.
If this is the only flight that day to get back to the company, if you can't tell others about it.
So did Fang Chongyong risk the possibility of a bomb exploding in the air, and take this flight to go back to work quickly.
Or do you want to change your flight and take a leave of absence and go back another day?
In fact, how to choose, the answer is obvious.
It's just a shift, 800 yuan a month, can you use your life?
Datang is not his private property!
It is a very stupid thing to take unbearable risks in pursuit of unrealistic interests.
Of course, this will affect the morale of the army, and may even miss the excellent results, as well as the opportunity to become famous in one battle and become a god in one war.
But Fang Chongyong is afraid of death...... He was really afraid of death, and if he could not take the risk, he would definitely not choose to take the risk!
Fang Yanei will only let go out when he is forced to do so, and other times, he is like a dog!
There is just one issue that cannot be ignored.
That is, in this case, if the flight had not exploded, the boss and colleagues of the company would not have known about it. All they saw was Fang Chongyong asking for leave.
Therefore, the understanding between people is often very limited, which is also a very helpless thing.
"It's good to be alive, safety first."
Fang Chongyong sighed and rode a camel into the city slowly.
As a result, he had just entered the town on a camel, and the local families and ordinary people who had been waiting in the city for a long time began to cheer and scream in unison! Dance!
Some people also took the initiative to come over and feed Fang Chongyong's camels.
"yes, I've brought back quite a few of them."
Seeing this scene, Fang Chongyong sighed with some relief, he understood very well what these people were cheering for.
At this moment, the camel under his crotch, who was not very peaceful all the way, turned his head and spat at Fang Chongyong's face full of grass and scraps!
Seeing this scene, the crowd suddenly burst into laughter!
The camel is like such a bird, and the locals are not surprised, but they didn't expect that the thorn history could not suppress this slightly strange animal.
Fang Chongyong helplessly wiped the camel saliva on his face with his cuffs, smiled embarrassedly, and waved to the blind crowd.
Tomorrow's monthly pass will be doubled, ready to explode, and the tickets are ready.
