Chapter 125: Transfiguration
As soon as these three words came out, everyone in the room seemed to freeze.
Those busy documents and long history stopped what they were doing and looked at Su Dawei.
Even Su Qingjie cast a complicated and suspicious gaze.
"These words are said here, aren't you afraid that the old man will treat you for the crime of confusing the army?" Su Dingfang looked at Su Dawei with a complicated expression.
It's like looking at a butterfly that has broken out of its cocoon, with both expectations and worries.
"I'm not afraid."
Su Dawei smiled at Su Dingfang: "My personal honor and disgrace are small, but since I am the former manager, I have to take responsibility and only seek victory." ”
"A good one just wants to win." Su Dingfang also smiled: "Since you must win, how can you say that you can't afford to lose." ”
There are some things that can't be said in too much detail.
The three of them sat at the table, sipping tea and were silent for a while.
Until Su Dawei took the initiative to speak out again: "Your Majesty means that we will break through Luo Su and finish it in one battle, what does the teacher think?" ”
"It's not easy."
Su Dingfang put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "The enemy is exclusive and I am divided, our battle line is long, in order to guard Hexi and trade routes, we need to fortify everywhere, and the Tubo people don't need it, the plateau environment is their natural city, plus ice and snow and miasma."
The nomads, advancing and retreating like the wind, want to conquer them, which is equivalent to another battle of Goguryeo.
It must be at the right time, in the right place. ”
Su Dawei couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart: worthy of being the god of war Su Dingfang, his evaluation of Tubo is the closest to the truth.
In the Tang Army, a large number of generals had a natural sense of superiority over Tibet, and were quite conceited about fighting Tibet.
This may be because during the Zhenguan period, Taizong and Tubo had a "Battle of Songzhou".
Songzhou is an area from Shu to Tuyuhun.
In later generations, there were Tibetans and Khamba, including the Internet celebrity Ding Zhen, who also came from Litang County over there.
The Battle of Songzhou ended in the victory of the Tang Dynasty.
After that, the Tubo people took the initiative to seek cooperation, and Lu Dongzan asked the Tang Dynasty to marry on behalf of the Tubo Zanpu, and was willing to serve the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain.
This is why Princess Wencheng went to Tibet.
As the co-master of the world, Datang has implemented a restrained strategy of cultural diplomacy.
Now, the ploy has failed.
Just as Su Dingfang said before, the enemy is exclusive and I am divided.
There is not enough threat around Tibet, and the snowy plateau is a natural city.
It was enough for them to concentrate on expanding towards Datang.
As for Tianzhu behind him......
Back then, Wang Xuance borrowed more than 10,000 Tibetan soldiers to destroy Zhongtianzhu.
I can think about what kind of thing this Tianzhu is.
Datang is different.
As the lord of the world, Datang has to use troops everywhere, maintain local order, and crusade against disobedient younger brothers, which is too busy and tired.
In this situation, the Tang Dynasty was temporarily unable to deploy enough troops in the local areas fighting against Tubo.
"The soldiers are not expensive, but they are used, if the old man's body allows, in fact, it is also a good move to jump over Dafeichuan, six years ago in the Battle of Wuhai, the old man used this trick."
Su Dingfang's words made Su Dawei come back from his contemplation, and he hurriedly asked: "Teacher, I just heard about the battle of Wuhai, what is the situation?" ”
Su Qingjie, who was sitting on the side and listened humbly, raised his hand: "Go and get the map for me." ”
Su Qingjie bounced up as if he had been whipped.
After a few steps, he took down the map hanging on the wall and unfolded it in front of Su Dawei and Su Ding.
"Aya......"
"Ami, look at this Dafei River, it separates two areas, one is a vast grassland, and the other is a lofty mountain. In the past of Dafeichuan, there are Qilian Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and many mountains that even the old man can't name.
And here ......"
Su Dingfang marked the location of Dafeichuan on the map and pointed: "To the north, you can go to Fuqi City, and to the west, you can go to Luosa." ”
"Boss!"
That is to say, you can go directly to the royal city of the Tibetan people, Lhasa in later generations!
"Not bad."
Su Dingfang's white eyebrows raised: "When Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, she walked this way, from this road, crossing the Wuhai Sea, there are water sources along the way, which can be directly inserted into the Luosa City of the Tubo people." ”
"Teacher, let me think about it."
Su Dawei picked up the teacup, and his thoughts fluctuated for a while.
Su Dingfang's words are extremely informative.
The first is the route taken by Princess Wencheng into Tibet.
This indirectly admits that Princess Xu Wencheng, Emperor Taizong, also made a plan for Songtsan Gampo.
In the team to send relatives, there must be spies from the Tang Dynasty, who took advantage of the situation to find out the route to Tibet.
It is equivalent to the first Qin to give the king of Shu a golden bull, and the king of Shu in order to welcome the golden bull to send five dings to open the mountain, chiseled out the plank road.
In the end, the Qin soldiers attacked Shuzhong along the plank road, and directly ordered the king of Shu to knock out GG.
The second is water supply.
This is a prerequisite for the march of the Great Army.
There are many places, as you can see from the map, there are roads.
But the generals who led the troops knew that even if there was a place on the map that could be walked, if there was no water source and no food supply, it would still be a dead place and a "no man's land".
If you go from such a place, many people will die.
Just like what happened to Jung In-tae back then.
If you have enough water, you will be able to walk the army and make strategic preparations.
"When the old man led the cavalry straight into the Wuhai, it was by virtue of this road, but ...... After using it once, the Tibetan people should be wary. ”
Su Dingfang stared at the map, his eyes flashing with wisdom.
"What you just said is not a bad idea, jumping over the Dafeichuan, taking the cattle, horses and livestock of the Tubo people as a supplement, deceitfully attacking and ambushing the city, mobilizing the Tubo people's defense line to expose the flaws, and then riding lightly and rushing straight into Luosuo."
This proposal is undoubtedly bold and dangerous.
But it is Su Dingfang's style.
Light cavalry rushes, attacking the enemy's vital points.
Su Dawei first took the case, and then held his forehead with his hand: "Chief manager, how long does it take to travel from Dafeichuan to Luosu?" ”
Can't see it on the map.
But Su Dawei had a self-driving trip from Qinghai to Tibet in his previous life.
He remembers that he drove along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway for two days, covering a distance of almost 2,000 kilometers.
Almost paralyzed people.
In the Tang Dynasty, the only means of mobility was the war horse, and even if it traveled a hundred miles a day without any obstruction, it would take twenty days.
In practice, twenty days is not enough.
I'm afraid it will have to be multiplied several times.
For such a long time, it is unrealistic for the army to supply only by plundering the cattle and sheep of the Tubo people.
The snow area is so big, and many places are no man's land.
What if I don't meet anyone all day?
Even if people don't eat it, horses belong to animals that pull while eating, and if they don't eat for a while, they will lose fat, and once they lose fat, they won't be able to run.
Well, even if you don't think about the horse's forage for a while.
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the cattle and sheep of the Tubo people were plundered, it would be impossible for these livestock soldiers to eat them on the same day, and if they wanted to continue eating, they had to take them on the road.
With these animals, how can you still rush the speed of the cavalry?
Su Dingfang nodded and said: "The time depends on the situation of the battle, as for food replenishment, when I used the army before, there was a way to quench my hunger and thirst."
Accompany the war horse, prepare the horse with more mares, if thirsty, in addition to drinking ice, you can also drink mare's milk.
In addition, you can also use the method of the Tibetan people to grind the barley into flour and make cakes.
These are all ways to continue life. ”
Su Dawei was a little surprised, which was a bit like the thinking of the Mongolian cavalry in later generations.
Mare, mare's milk?
There is also flour grinding to make cakes.
According to this method, Tang Cai's continuous combat ability can be enhanced a lot.
He thought for a while and said, "According to the teacher's opinion, how many soldiers and horses are needed to capture Luosa City?" ”
"Twenty thousand is better, at least fifteen thousand."
"Ahem."
Su Dawei stroked his chest and coughed loudly.
is worthy of Su Dingfang, this is a special god of soldiers.
With one or two hundred thousand people, he dared to say that he had destroyed the Tibetan Empire.
"Ami, are you alright?"
Su Qingjie listened attentively, until he was awakened by Su Dawei's coughing, and couldn't help asking.
"I'm fine."
Su Dawei raised his teacup and took a sip: "Teacher, what should I do if I encounter the main force of the Tubo people?" ”
One or two hundred thousand people, if you encounter hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops, and later Xue Rengui's battle of Dafeichuan, this is the situation.
is as strong as the fierce Xue Rengui, and he also has to drink the bitter fruit of failure.
After Su Dingfang put his hands on his back, he glanced at Su Dawei lightly: "If you meet the main force of Tubo head-on...... Just hit it. ”
In a word, Su Dawei's hairs stood up.
I heard Su Dingfang's calm voice in my ears: "Frontal wave battle, even if there are 100,000 Tubo people, and 10,000 of my Tang cavalry, it is enough to break it." ”
To change someone, to say this is definitely bragging, bragging.
But the person who said this was Su Dingfang.
In the battle of Wuhai that year, Su Dingfang relied on 1,000 Tang cavalry to defeat the deputy minister of Tubo and reach 80,000 people.
Now that 10,000 is over 100,000, no one thinks that Su Dingfang is bragging, but he only thinks that the God of War is still too modest.
"Teacher, I'm ......"
Su Dawei patted his chest: "I don't have the ability to be a teacher, if you want me, there are no 30,000 people, and it probably won't work." ”
Su Dingfang glanced at him and snorted: "Why do you need 30,000." ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head and muttered: "Yes, the old man can have this ability, it is obtained in exchange for thirty years of soldiers, how old are you, if you want to change the lion, I am afraid that if you give him 100,000, it may not be possible." ”
Su Qingjie, who was holding the map and smiling, changed his face in an instant, you just said, how is it good, and it fell on my head again.
"The teacher's current physical condition, can he personally lead the troops?" Su Dawei mentioned another key issue.
"Of course."
Su Dingfang did not hesitate, but after facing Su Qingjie's expression of wanting to speak and stop, he thought about it and said: "I need to prepare, when the right fighter appears, then I need Ami you to be my deputy to implement my tactics." ”
"Whoa!"
Su Dawei intervened to receive the order.
can be the deputy of Su Dingfang, the god of war, and can implement Su Dingfang's tactics to destroy the enemy.
Go and destroy the enemy country.
This is the glory that every Tang Dynasty person dreams of.
"By the way, teacher, Pei Duhu said that he will come to Jiuquan in a few days to discuss the military with you."
"Him?"
Su Dingfang's brows furrowed, and he said, "Ridiculous! Anxi Duhu's responsibility for the defense area is so great, how can he leave so easily? ”
That's exactly what he said in his letters.
Su Dawei had a trace of doubt in his heart, and then asked: "By the way, teacher, why is there no payment and seal in your reply?" ”
This incident is the reason why he accompanied Su Qingjie to see Pei Xingjian.
But I didn't have time to bring it up until now.
"Reply, what reply?"
Su Dingfang looked surprised: "When did I write to you?" ”
"No?"
"Aya, Li Jinxing came over to deliver the news, didn't you ask him to bring a reply letter to Ami?"
"Li Jinxing?"
Su Dingfang's face showed a look of doubt: "I've heard this name, but the old man has never seen this person." ”
The faces of Su Dawei and Su Qingjie showed shock at the same time.
If Su Dingfang hadn't seen Li Jinxing.
On that day, who was the person who sent a reply to the military tent of the Soviet Union?
