Chapter 1 The War between the Tang Dynasty and Tibet
Later, Shiqu County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province researched the stone carvings in the county, and found three remains of stone carvings in the Tubo period, namely the stone carvings of Xuba Shenshan, the stone carvings of Baima Shenshan, and the stone carvings of Luoxu Village, with a total of 17 pairs of stone carvings.
These stone carvings provide evidence for the route of the Tangbo Ancient Road along the Jinsha River Basin, and also provide another possibility for Princess Wencheng's route into Tibet: or through Sichuan.
More than 2,000 years ago, Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, and it is likely that she did not take the traditional Tangbo Ancient Road, but in the south of the ancient road, from Shuzhong to Ganzi Prefecture, through Shiqu County, into Qinghai to Tibet.
……
"At that time, Princess Wencheng passed through Jiannan Road, entered the stone canal, stopped in Shanzhou for a while, went to Linfan City, to Suirong City, along the Qiang River through Shibao City, Chiling, Yuchichuan to Moliyi, through Dafeichuan (Gonghe Cheji Grassland), Nalu Station, Nuanquan, Liemo Sea, across the sea, Yuezi Mountain (Bayan Kala), crossed the Yak River, passed through Yushu, passed through Dangla Mountain (Tanggula Mountain Chawula Pass), to Nagqu in northern Tibet, continued forward, crossed Yangbajing, and went to Luo."
An Wensheng picked up the map in his hand and compared it repeatedly: "It's a pity, if Wang Xuance leads this road, it may be more secure." ”
"There's no way, Guazhou has to fight to the death against the Qinling Tomb, and I can only come if I have some surprise attacks."
Su Dawei took off the iron helmet on his head, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked back behind him, the Tang sergeant led the war horse and slowly walked along the ridge.
The team traveled more than ten miles.
"The Tubo people are only staring at Hexi, we should have a short window of time, and before the Tubo people react, we should go straight to the Luo, if we can break through the Luoji as planned, we can make the merit of destroying the country."
An Wensheng patted his cheeks, his fair and clean skin, and his cheeks trembled slightly with this action.
He stuffed the map in his hand into Su Dawei's arms: "It's not easy to talk about, this is a gamble, if the Tubo people are on the outskirts of the wilderness, these thousands of Tang soldiers and you and I are afraid that they will have to bury their bones here." ”
"The risks are great, and the benefits are also great, this is a fighter plane, and God will take it, but it will be blamed."
Su Dawei said in his mouth, picked up the map on his body, spread it out and frowned and looked at it carefully.
His master of war inherited Su Dingfang, and he had his own insight in later generations.
Su Dingfang's use of troops looks dangerous, but in fact, he attacks the enemy's vital points, and he will win every battle.
The main point is to be good at seizing fighter planes and grasping the enemy's weaknesses that are exposed in an instant.
Su Dingfang cheated on the disease, after all, he still succeeded in confusing the Tubo people.
On Qinling, he was so greedy that he wanted to attack more and shake the Tang army's Hexi defense line.
When Qinling found out that something was wrong, he collected his troops and retreated, and Su Dingfang, who was in Jiuquan, had already ordered Su Dawei to rush forward with light horses, and with the Tang Iron Cavalry that was urgently dispatched, he jumped over Dafeichuan to carry out the task of nine deaths and one life.
"Chief, in fact, we can wait for the follow-up reinforcements to arrive, and with 100,000 Tang cavalry, the Tubo people will not be able to stop our troops."
Guo Beifeng, who went out with the army, interjected on the side.
Su Dawei shook his head: "You only know one thing, you don't know the other, our reinforcements have arrived, and the defense line of the Tubo people has been prepared.
It can only be consumed in the confrontation with Tibet on the plateau.
In this situation, Datang lost. ”
Su Dawei said leisurely: "They are close to home, we are far away from the expedition of the Tang Tulao Division, the enemy makes up for a fight, and we need ten buckets to barely cope with the food consumption."
If you want to defeat Tibet, you must not fight with them and waste your national strength in vain.
The best fighter is now. ”
In the last few words, Su Dawei said categorically.
There was a faint glint in his eyes.
Guo Zhifeng's heart jumped, and he hurriedly took a half step back and said: "The manager is right, it's because I have shallow knowledge. ”
"It's okay, by the way, look here......"
Su Dawei pointed to the map: "I know this yak river, isn't it the Tongtian River." ”
As he spoke, he let out a hearty laugh.
An Wensheng and Guo Zhi, who were on his side, were puzzled.
"What kind of river is the Tongtian River? Never heard of it. ”
Su Dawei waved his hand, and suddenly lost interest in speaking.
The story of Xuanzang and the walkers in Journey to the West will not appear until hundreds of years later.
I wonder if there is an old turtle carrying scriptures in this Tongtian River?
"Ami, come over here!"
In the distance, the voice of General Xue Li was heard.
In this surprise attack, Su Da was the main commander, Guo Beifeng was the logistics quartermaster, the fierce general Xue Rengui was the vanguard, and An Wensheng was the praise painting.
Although the sparrow is small, it has a full liver and gallbladder.
When Su Dawei heard the voice, he grabbed the belly of the horse that clamped the dragon and rushed towards Xue Rengui.
He didn't notice that a half-man's tall crow was looking sideways at the rocks a few miles away.
Watching the Tang army meandering like a snake from the mountain stream on the Dafei River.
The crow's dark eyes flashed a strange green glow.
Wail~
This big bird, which represents bad luck, flutters its wings and flies, and disappears to the top of the mountain in an instant.
The night was shrouded, and the Tang Army's barracks were scattered, seemingly messy, but in fact, they were scattered and separated, each with its own rules.
Under the sporadic bonfires, there are many light and dark sentinels in ambush.
In an enemy country, Su Dawei was as careful as possible to avoid any mistakes.
"I have always used my troops to be invincible for myself first, and then to be invincible for the enemy, but this time the situation has changed a little, and I have to take a risk."
In the tent, Su Dawei stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "Although the risk is extremely high, the benefits are more considerable, along the way, everyone must be extremely careful not to expose any flaws to the Tubo people." ”
An Wensheng sat cross-legged by the campfire, holding a clay bowl in both hands and pouring a bowl of mutton soup down.
He put down the pottery bowl with both hands and straightened his clothes.
Then take out a clean silk handkerchief from the sleeve, fold it neatly, and gently press it on your lips a few times.
Although he is in the wilderness, the habits of the nobles of the gate valve are still meticulous.
"Pretending to be a criminal."
Su Dawei laughed and scolded.
An Wensheng remained silent, withdrew the silk handkerchief into his sleeves, stretched out his sleeves again, straightened his waist, and then said: "The most dangerous thing is actually that after jumping over the Dafei River, did the Tubo people have a plan, are they a distance behind us?"
If the answer is no, crossing the Dafei River, on the grassland below the Dafei River, will be the most vulnerable moment for our army.
Once surrounded by the Tibetans, who had the advantage of military superiority in the plains, the mission failed. ”
Guo Zhifeng's eyes moved flexibly from side to side, and he peeked at Su Dawei, An Wensheng, Xue Rengui and others respectively.
Seeing that no one spoke, he whispered, "We can at least take the city of Fuqi." ”
"What's the point of that?"
Xue Rengui snorted coldly: "We have spent so much effort that we even did not hesitate to risk three thousand people to attack thousands of miles, not for a small Fuqi city, but to complete our efforts and take the capital of the Tubo people." ”
Speaking of the word "take".
Xue Rengui's fist slammed into the map.
But Su Dawei was quick to move and pulled the map away at once.
Bang!
The bonfire jumped, and a few sparks flew out, just splashing on Guo Beifeng's body.
The young noble general screamed in shock, jumped up and couldn't stop beating the fire on his body, and he was extremely embarrassed.
"Rengui, be careful, you will compensate me for a new pair if the map is broken?"
"Ahem, a moment of rage."
Xue Rengui held his knees and smiled at Guo Zhifeng: "Don't be surprised if you are rude for a while." ”
The expression on Guo Beifeng's face did not change, but as soon as he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth pursed disdainfully.
Vulgar martial arts, vulgar!
Su Dawei was on the side, taking all this in his eyes, and frowned secretly.
……
The full silvery moon hangs high in the sky.
At the head of Jiuquan County, the ambassador of Tang Anji, the general manager of Luo Dao, and Su Dingfang, the prince of Xing Guo, wore a snow-white cloak, holding the city and stomping into the distance.
The night breeze moved slightly, causing ripples on his clothes.
If it weren't, it would almost be thought that he had become a statue.
"Boss!"
With a light call, a personal soldier walked up to the city with a Taoist and came behind Su Dingfang.
Ye Fashan glanced at Su Dingfang's side face.
This Tang Dynasty military god, because of his illness in recent years, is so heavy that his cheeks are sunken.
The long snow-white beard covered the lower half of the face, otherwise you would have seen the excessively thin and sharp chin.
Although, his eyes are still bright.
But what can't be concealed is that this seventy-year-old man has also come to the end of his life, and the vitality in his body is getting more and more exhausted.
Complicated emotions flashed in Ye Fashan's heart.
But he quickly adjusted all this, waved the dust lightly, and said: "Tianzun is merciful, poor Dao, I have seen the chief manager." ”
"It turned out to be Ye Tianshi."
Su Dingfang finally had a slight change.
He reluctantly withdrew his gaze from afar, and turned to Ye Fashan, who was approaching.
"The Heavenly Master is here, but there is good news?"
"Fortunately, the strangeness that appeared under Dunhuang City has been removed by the disciples of this sect."
Ye Fashan bowed slightly, and saluted Su Dingfang, the god of war of the Tang Dynasty: "The crisis on Wuwei's side has also been resolved. ”
"Heh, although those Tubo people are weird, they are not arrogant enough to think that they can change the entire battle situation with weirdness, and they don't dare to press all their strength at once."
Su Dingfang patted the battlements with his hand, and said with some regret: "It's a pity that the old man waited hard in Jiuquan, but he didn't come to the Qinling Tomb." ”
Ye Fashan's eyes flashed, and he said with a long beard in his hand: "The prestige of the chief manager, even if he doesn't do anything, as long as the people are here, it is enough to deter the Tubo people." ”
Su Dingfang shook his head slightly, noncommittal.
"Next, let's go ahead with the plan."
"To come from the poor road is to resign to the chief steward, may the chief steward take care of our health, and wait for us to return victorious."
"Go ahead."
Su Dingfang bowed slightly: "On the road, it depends on Ye Tianshi to deal with those ghosts and ghosts." ”
"This is the duty of the poor, the chief manager can rest assured."
After Ye Fashan finished speaking, he saluted, then took two steps back and floated away.
When he goes, on behalf of Wuwei, Dunhuang and Jiuquan, the Maoshan Sect and Taoists who are guarding against the weirdness of the Tubo people will work with Ye Fashan to follow Su Dawei's team and serve this surprise attack.
"Boss!"
Wang Xiaojie, who was dressed in a sonorous armor leaf, hurriedly climbed to the city tower, not bothering to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"The last general has come to pay the order and report the results of the battle."
"Speak."
