Chapter 15: The Cry

Tang Chao sighed, his voice was full of compassion and sadness: "I have killed 60,000 troops of Tubo before, and I have killed more than 10,000 of his people in this battle, and robbed almost all of his horses. In fact, I can tell you that next time, I may not have the chance to kill Prince Xuan again. After all, today he is in such a passive situation because he is anxious for revenge, in fact, even if I can defeat him, it is extremely difficult to kill him. ”

"Your Majesty. I don't understand, wouldn't it be better to kill them to demoralize them, why let him go? ”

Rondo scratched his head in frustration.

"You don't know. Xuanzan is the prince of Tibet after all, if I don't give him a little face, and then release him after arresting him, with his character, he is likely to commit suicide in anger. But I don't want him to die now, but I want him to retreat, that's what I intended. ”

Sheva was a little skeptical: "Your Majesty's move is really clever, it can be described as a dangerous move, after the defeat of Prince Xuanzan again, his spirit is lost, and it is very likely that he will return to Tubo according to His Majesty's expectations, after all, as His Majesty said to him at the time, Tubo sacrificed so much, it is enough to repay Li Longji's kindness to Tubo at that time." Moreover, according to my guess, Li Longji and Li Heng's finances must be very tight now, and they can't spare extra money to make friends with Tibet. ”

"But Your Majesty, Monk Niu was obviously seriously injured, given the situation at the time, why didn't you kill him, at least you should be able to capture him?" Rondo questioned again.

Tang Chao smiled: "This question, my father-in-law must know, let him tell you?" ”

Sheva smiled and said: "Your Majesty has expected such a result as early as when he was in Chang'an, and he has already worked out a countermeasure. ”

"What's the big deal? Isn't it cheaper to let people go for nothing? ”

"Hehe, let me tell you, Your Majesty's purpose in doing this is to ask him to follow Li Longji back to Lingwu and help Li Longji seize Li Heng's military power in order to form a discord within them, and second, to make him a friend."

"The first point that the Dharma King said, I can understand, is to let them kill each other, but the second point, I don't understand, with such a traitor, what kind of friends do you have, just kill with a knife."

Rondo almost died at the hands of the cow monk and child just now, and he hated it in his heart.

"This is the use of power. Niu Shengyu is not a bad person, but a capable person, and his martial arts have reached the early stage of the transformation realm, so he is a rare talent. The reason why he abandoned me was because he believed that Li Longji could dominate the world in order to achieve his immortal feats. This is a man with great ambitions, and if I can make friends with him, he may not be able to come to me again. ”

"Such people. The character is so poor, does Your Majesty want to do it? ”

Rondo felt incredible.

"Hehe, I don't understand what I told you, go and form a team, Your Majesty will immediately review the three armies."

Rondo obeyed the order, and Sheva smiled at Tang Chao: "Your Majesty, the magic of these power tricks, he doesn't understand it when I tell this bastard." Actually, I always thought that His Majesty did not kill Niu Monk and Li Longji because he remembered the old love back then, and now it seems that this is what it means. ”

Tang Chao nodded, and there was a solemn taste in his eyes: "Not bad." The two countries are fighting, and it is related to the lives of tens of millions of people, how can there be the slightest kindness of a woman, if there is no such purpose, how can I let Li Longji and Niu monks and children leave today? Of course, to tell the truth, even if we can kill Niu Shengyu and Prince Xuanzan, it is very likely that we still can't kill Li Longji, because the Yitian Sword in his hand is too domineering, and he is desperate. But I can't kill Prince Xuanzan, lest I attract the army of Hamiluzamp. It is said that this person's martial arts are already a very deep master in the middle of the transformation realm, and he is good at using soldiers. In today's situation in the Central Plains, it is a great blessing for me and An Lushan to be able to bring in one less army. In my estimation, Guli Pero and the Turks have not yet sent troops, and they are waiting for the situation in the Central Plains to enter and see clearly, and then enter to collect the profits of the fishermen. Although I married the princesses of these two countries and have a deep relationship, these two countries may not be without selfishness. ”

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. It is really not appropriate for us to strike at the Tibetan army again when the situation is chaotic, otherwise, the foreign army will enter the Central Plains in a steady stream, and it will definitely create a situation beyond our control. ”

At the moment, the Tang Dynasty reviewed the three armies, and Wolf Zhengxuan was also among the reviewers.

In this battle, the Tang Dynasty army suffered very few losses, only more than 3,000 dead and wounded, captured a large number of grain and grass materials, and 50,000 well-equipped war horses.

The Tang Dynasty ordered that 50,000 war horses be distributed to 10,000 wolf Zhengxuan to expand the cavalry, and the remaining 40,000 war horses were used to enrich their cavalry.

He has already had systematic training for cavalry, only no horses, and now with these 40,000 war horses, he suddenly has more than 80,000 elite cavalry, including 20,000 cavalry guarding Yangping Pass, the current number of cavalry in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to the number of cavalry of Shi Siming's department stationed outside Yangping Pass, reaching a terrifying 100,000 cavalry.

The invasion of the Tubo army did not weaken the Tang Dynasty, but instead sent him tens of thousands of fine war horses, as well as countless grain and grass materials.

The Tang Dynasty army immediately entered Chengdu, and Wolf Zhengxuan's line made a speech at the famous Wuhou Temple, officially owning the southwest.

Wolf Zhengxuan was full of confidence, and once again expressed his respect for the Tang Dynasty at the oath meeting, becoming the southwest king of the Tang Dynasty, and then led 100,000 Nanzhao troops to follow the Tang Dynasty to conquer Li Longji.

The Tang Dynasty ordered Ban Lin and Xin Baijiang to garrison Jianmen Pass, and sent civil officials to Mianzhu, Chengdu, Dali and other places to rule the entire southwest and shake Bo Fu.

On the Wuxu day of March in the late spring of the first year of the new Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty brought 80,000 cavalry, with Wolf Zhengxuan as the front, as the Chinese army, and Shewa as the rear, with more than 50 generals, a total of 200,000 elite soldiers of the three armies of the horse and foot, west out of Jianmen Pass, waving troops north to the Yellow River, and wanting to attack the Li army with An Lushan in Xuzhou.

……

Li Longji ran for half a day and collected soldiers and horses in Wusheng County, but there were less than 10,000 people.

Fortunately, not long after, all the Tibetan soldiers came with the prince of Xuanzan, Li Longji looked at it, and secretly ashamed, although the 40,000 cavalry of Xuanzan had lost their horses, and the casualties were not light, but there were 30,000 people behind the declaration of war.

In this way, the two sides are superior to each other. The combat effectiveness of the Li Jiajun can really be said to be vulnerable, and it will be torn apart after a fight, but the Tubo army is strictly disciplined, and even in such a situation, it still has the ability to fight.

Li Longji fell to the ground and cried, telling all the royal forest soldiers to retreat to the countryside, and was desperately persuaded by the cows, monks and children, and immediately ordered the soldiers to form a group to rob the grain, bury the pot to make food, and discuss the future behavior.

The Tibetan soldiers did not need to be taught by cow monks and children, but also rushed to the countryside to rob grain and fill their stomachs.

"Your Majesty, your great kindness, I have repaid it desperately, and I am ready to return to Tibet, please forgive me?"

I don't know when, Prince Xuanzan has come to Li Longji's front and is deeply moved.

Running all the way, he figured it out in his heart.

The elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are indeed too powerful. If it was before the battle of Zhang Feixia, he might have been arrogant and promised to get rid of the Tang Dynasty for Li Longji, but after the real battle with the Tang Dynasty, he knew that it was impossible.

He naturally had a monstrous hatred for the Tang Dynasty, but he still obeyed what the Tang Dynasty said to him: the two countries are fighting, and the war is ruthless, and sometimes there is often no right or wrong.

However, the Tang Dynasty did not kill itself, and obviously let itself go a way out, that is, it did not want to form an insoluble deep enmity with Tubo.

The 60,000 cavalrymen he died should be martyred for Li Longji and repay his previous kindness.

Of course, what Prince Xuanzan was most worried about was that when he led the Tibetan army to attack the Tang Dynasty again, he still had no way to win.

The battle of Zhang Feixia can be said to be an accident, he really died unjustly, but in the battle of Jianmen Pass, although the Tang Dynasty had a "flying bird team" infiltrated and took advantage of the internal and external attacks, but the Tubo soldiers had already wanted to take revenge, and they all forgot to die in the battle, but they still died more than 10,000 people, and the casualties of the Tang Dynasty were only 3,000 people.

That's the horror gap.

There is no element of trickery at all, that is, the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army, compared with the elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, there is still a big gap.

Of course, he didn't know that when the Tang Dynasty trained soldiers, it was based on formations, and the combination of individual combat and coordinated combat was very good.

Moreover, when training Feng Xiao's scout team, it was even trained in the modern way of training special forces, and every infantry took turns to practice horse kung fu.

In this way, soldiers who have undergone arduous training naturally have strong combat effectiveness.

What's even more terrifying is that most of these soldiers have the experience of fighting in person, and no matter how strong a general like Rondo is, it is difficult to think of being elite or not.

As for this surprise victory, the "big bird" used to sneak into Jianmen Pass in foggy weather was actually inspired by an airplane model that the Tang Dynasty learned when he was in Zhangzhou No. 1 Middle School.

I remember that at that time, their class held a science and technology competition, and everyone had to submit an entry, Tang Dynasty just made an airplane casually at that time, and later won the grand prize, which was a small achievement at that time.

The use of force, the making of sails, the use of wind, and so on, in the eyes of the people of the Tang Dynasty, were impossible to solve, but in his hands, they were easily completed.

It was indeed a secret to make such a "flying bird" and something that could hold up the weight of a human being, so it was not until the Tang Dynasty looked at the local weather and concluded that there would be no fog three days later, so that the soldiers were trained.

Such things, as early as Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty had secretly sent skilled craftsmen to successfully make these things, and they carried them with them when they marched.

Therefore, the soldiers were trained skillfully and made meritorious contributions in one fell swoop.

Li Longji's tears really flowed this time, and he looked at Prince Xuanzan: "Your Highness, you ...... Is it true that you are going to leave me regardless of the great enmity of Tibet and the friendship between you and me? ”

Before, his crying was naturally buying people's hearts, but now, it is really a desperate cry.
