Chapter 93 It's a pity that a good pair of teeth are missing

"The most important thing we lack now is time!" Li Jiancheng sighed.

The Tang Dynasty had just defeated the Eastern Turks and accepted more than 1.3 million Eastern Turk troops, although these people adopted the method of disrupting and dispersing according to the advice of the Menxia Provincial Political Council.

However, these Turks did not really return to their hearts, and they needed more than 200,000 Tang army soldiers around them to be on guard at all times. Even if Li Jiancheng wanted to fight, he didn't have the strength.

"Your Majesty means ...... Ready to take it? Wei Zheng looked at Li Jiancheng and asked.

In fact, temporary peace is more in line with Datang's interests. However, Li Jiancheng's daughter had to be sacrificed, so Wei Zheng did not express their opinion.

Li Jiancheng smiled bitterly: "The envoy from Tubo is called courting, but in fact it is coercive, using the 47 border states and 159 cities of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo as a threat!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Jiancheng's face was gloomy as water, and he said with a murderous expression: "We, Datang, should ride our horses and whip and sweep through the universe!" Now that the military horse has not moved, he will first go to Tubo to send the princess to beg for peace, what is this matter! No way! Absolutely not! ”

Fang Xuanling said with emotion: "The grain and grass are not yet complete, the armor is not complete, and more importantly, we are not ready to use troops in Tubo, and using troops at this time is contrary to the art of war." ”

Wei Zheng also said: "Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you can't blindly be light and sharp, but the things of the world, when you should be brave and diligent, be brave and diligent, and be patient and compromise when you should be patient and compromise, it is impossible to sweep the universe forever with just one pride." When morale is boosted, words can be said impassionedly, but when it comes to doing things, you still have to put it into practice. ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Wei Zheng and said, "You are wrong! ”

Then, Li Jiancheng pointed at Fang Xuanling and said, "You are also wrong, you are all wrong!" ”

Wei Zheng was stunned.

Fang Xuanling was puzzled again.

Both of them are smart people, and they really don't understand what Li Jiancheng is pointing out about their mistakes.

After all, Datang is now on the surface strong, but in fact very weak. The Tang Dynasty was in need of time to digest the fruits of its victory over the Eastern Turks.

Once enough time is used for the Tang Dynasty to completely digest the population of more than 1.3 million people in the Eastern Turks, Tubo will face a Tang Dynasty that is three times more powerful than it is now.

Li Jiancheng said: "Since the beginning of Wude, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo has invaded the Tang Dynasty one hundred and fifty-three times, robbing and killing no less than 200,000 of our Tang subjects. ”

Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling were also silent.

Tang and Tubo can be regarded as a feud, as early as the first year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty conquered Xue Ju, and led Qin, Liang, He, Sha, Gan, Su and other prefectures, and Tubo directly bordered Tubo, Tubo began to start from Longyou, Bashu, Jiannandao......

Li Jiancheng continued: "Are we related to the Tang Dynasty and Tubo? ”

In fact, the court of the Tang Dynasty is very clear that Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are very close to each other, and there is still enmity.

Fang Xuanling groaned: "Perhaps...... The Tibetans are worried when they see that we have destroyed the Eastern Turks, and ......"

"If they were worried that the Tang Dynasty would take the opportunity to attack and destroy Tubo, they would not have come to Chang'an with the arrogance of the Tubo people to beg for peace!"

Fang Xuanling asked, "What is Your Majesty suspicious?" ”

"I suspect that the other party put forward such a condition, as if we were counted in the Tang Dynasty!" Li Jiancheng groaned: "They are accurate, we will definitely agree, because this is the most beneficial to our Datang." However, why would the Tibetan people help us to think about the problem? I don't believe these Hu people will come and think for us! So in the end, I can only think of two points, either the Tubo people themselves are in trouble, or there is another conspiracy behind them doing this! ”

"Conspiracy? What conspiracy? Wei Zheng asked.

"I don't know!" Li Jiancheng said frankly: "I just feel that this matter is wrong!" ”

Li Jiancheng thought as he returned to Taiji Palace.

Li Jiancheng is naturally a very smart person, and he is considering the real intention of Tubo in doing this.

With an arrogant and threatening attitude, he came to Chang'an to ask for relatives.

The result is nothing more than two.

Say yes or no.

If you promise, Datang will lose a princess?

No, for the sake of the society and the world, Li Jiancheng is really not worried about losing a princess.

Even if he was like the Sui Dynasty and his relatives, he married a princess and went to Tibet, carrying a valuable dowry, 1,000 maids and servants, 200 palace ladies and eunuchs, and tens of thousands of yuan of money and grain.

These things, it really doesn't matter.

Just when Li Jiancheng and Fang Xuanling walked to the Xuanwu Gate of Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng sorted out the words in his heart before he said: "Just now, I have another account to settle here: that is, if we negotiate peace with Tubo, what will we lose!" ”

"What is lost?" Wei Zheng asked nervously.

Li Jiancheng didn't answer Wei Zheng's words, but looked at Li Anyan and said, "Li Anyan, you say, once our Tang Dynasty accepts the Tubo people's proposal and marriage, what will we lose?" ”

Li Anyan thought for a while, and suddenly looked at the wall of Xuanwu Gate, where a soldier of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army on duty was yawning.

Li Anyan suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, Fang Xiang, Wei Xiang, the last general understands!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded with satisfaction.

Fang Xuanling asked, "What will we lose?" ”

"We will lose our Datang ambitions!" Li Anyan really didn't think of what the reason was, but when he saw the Xuanwu Gate, he finally understood.

Four years ago, in front of the Xuanwu Gate, there was a river of blood and a mountain of bones. Three years ago, it almost caused a shocking bloody case in this place.

However, after three years, these soldiers of the Yuan Sui Forbidden Army stationed on the gate tower of Xuanwu Gate have fat on their waists, and they have long since lost the courage of the past. Seeing that their buttocks were too big to squeeze into the saddle, and seeing that the armor could no longer fit their big bellies, Li Anyan finally figured this out and asked.

Under the expectation of Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng, Li Anyan blurted out: "Your Majesty, this Tubo proposal and marriage proposal is actually a temptation. We may be able to get peace for a while, but we are likely to lose the domineering spirit of competing with Tibet! After we have bowed our heads to the Tibetans once, if the Tibetans put forward a second condition to us, will we think that we have already bowed our heads once anyway, so there is no harm in being patient again? Then, there will be a third, fourth, and fifth round...... When our vigor is exhausted by their approaching pace, if their iron hooves suddenly rush again, will we still have the courage to pick up the sword against them? ”

Wei Zheng thought about it carefully, Li Anyan's words were not impossible.

Although this is just Ang Lee's wishful thinking, he can't come up with real evidence.

However, how unreasonable is Ang Lee's words?

If Tubo really intends to ask for marriage, his posture is lowered, and his attitude is humble, why can't he get his wish.

……

War is not the only way to solve problems. However, Chen Ying, as the protector of the Tang Dynasty Anxi and the general of the hussars, Chen Ying felt that only war could be worthy of the word hussar.

Otherwise, it will insult Huo Hucai's prestige.

Chen Ying led more than 10,000 cavalry of the Anxi Army all the way south and arrived on the north side of Kunlun Mountain very quickly.

Ma Zhou looked at Chen Ying suspiciously, he thought that Chen Ying was just making a show. However, seeing that after crossing the Kunlun Mountains, he was about to enter the territory of Tibet.

Ma Zhou said with some worry: "Lord, Tubo is mountainous, and the combat effectiveness of our hook and sickle lancers cannot be brought into play, and we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with more than five million Tubo people!" ”

Tibet is different from the Central Plains. In Tibet, an area of more than 10,000 acres of flat land is very rare.

"I have a way to deal with them!"

Chen Yingke actually asked Zhang Shigui and Duan Zhigan to lead a part of the Anxi Army to attack Tubo from Punjaru. Deliberately create a posture of underestimating the enemy.

The main purpose was to attract the Tibetan people to take the initiative.

The Tibetan Plateau is very large and has many mountains.

The more soldiers and horses, the heavier the pressure on logistics.

Wars were never won by relying on population, although Chen Ying had only more than 10,000 men and horses, less than one-thirtieth of the total strength of Tibet.

Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and smiled lightly: "Although we only have more than 10,000 horses, supply is still a very big problem. As long as you are responsible for the logistics of the whole army, the Tubo people have me to deal with it! ”

Chen Ying had a clear overall consideration for this expedition to Tibet.

Chen Ying ordered Luo Shixin to be the vanguard of the whole army, and led two Zhichong Prefectures with a total of 3,000 cavalry to advance quickly, striving to reach Sandankang as soon as possible.

Chen Ying's purpose in doing this was twofold, the first was that the internal Anxi people watched Chen Ying "underestimate the enemy", and the second was to give the Tubo people the confidence and courage to fight bravely.

It's not necessarily a good thing to become famous too early.

After all, it is impossible for Chen Ying to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger now.

Even if the Tubo people are remote, even if the Tubo people are closed to news.

However, Yu Wenhua, who has become a national teacher in Tubo and can influence the situation in Tubo, will definitely not despise Chen Ying.

The bloody lesson is in front of us, and anyone who despises Chen Ying will die a miserable death.

In response to that saying, at any time, plans can never catch up with change.

Just when Luo Shixin's department had just flipped through Kunlun Mountain, suddenly there was a loud sound of horses' hooves in the opposite valley.

"Gotta ......"

Listening to the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, Luo Shixin raised his hand. The hook and sickle cavalry behind immediately leveled the hook and sickle and lined up in a row of thirty horsemen, blocking the entire valley tightly.

Finally, the end of sight.

Dozens of cavalry kicked up large puffs of dust and smoke.

There was still an arrow away, and the knight immediately raised his hand and shouted: "General Luo, urgent military situation, take me to see General Chen!" ”

This Beiwei Army soldier was precisely drawn from the original Yuan Army soldiers, and once used as Luo Shixin's subordinate, and he saw Luo Shixin at a glance.

Although Luo Shixin didn't know this soldier, he could accurately call his own name, and he should be his own person. Because of Luo Shixin's gun, it is difficult to escape death.

Luo Shixin looked at the miserable-looking messenger and said, "What's the matter? What about Liu Tongjun? ”

It didn't take long for the messenger to arrive in front of Chen Ying.

The messenger told Chen Ying: "General Chen, the 5,000 men and horses of Liu Tong's army are besieged in Kangyanju City!" ”

"What?" Chen Ying's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it in detail!" ”

The messenger bowed down and said, "Originally, Subiru was already the sphere of influence of our backshit, and Subi Nazhen led the Subi tribe to surrender to our Tang Dynasty. Three months ago, Subhinazhen asked for help from Adjutant General Xun. Xun Deputy decisively led 3,000 soldiers and horses to relieve the siege of Kangyanju City! ”

"Kang Yanju City is a lonely city, and it can't be defended for a long time, and even if it is defended, it doesn't make much sense!" Chen Yingdao: "Don't they know that this is a trap? ”

The messenger is hard to speak.

Originally, the ugly Queen Subi actually had a husband and wife with Xunxiang. Later, the bead fetus was secretly knotted, and instead gave birth to three children to Xunxiang.

Because his child followed Subinazhen, he knew that it was a plan, but he still plunged into the encirclement of the Tubo people.

"The deputy general and the three thousand Beiwei army brothers are surrounded, and Liu Tongjun can't see death without begging!" The messenger drank a water bag, and then said slowly: "This is a confused battle, and I don't know why, the Tubo tribe that originally surrendered to us is now suddenly attacking us, and we are unprepared and suffer heavy losses. Now Tubo Rudaren is responsible for leading tens of thousands of troops in Tubo and attacking Kangyanju City with all his might! ”

Chen Ying twisted it and said coldly: "We must go to the rescue!" ”

Liu Renliang shook his head solemnly and said, "General, here...... I'm afraid there are ghosts! ”

"At the same time, we can't afford to give up. Some of the soldiers and horses of the Tubo people stared at Liangzhou with fierce eyes. As soon as we make a move in Subi, it is very likely that they will take advantage of the situation to attack Liangzhou and cut off our back road. ”

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "I need Princess Pingyang's cooperation to fight." Guo Luo, as soon as possible, contacted Princess Pingyang, asked her to take over the rest of the soldiers and horses of the Anxi Protectorate, and ordered Guo Xiaoke to lead the towns of Anxi to join the general. ”

"Yes!" Guo Luo rode away.

Chen Ying ordered loudly and said, "March at full speed." Target - Kang Yanju! ”

The generals were stunned, "General, don't you go to that song?" ”

Chen Yingdao: "The situation has changed, change to Kang Yanju!" ”

"Yes!"

Most of the men and horses accelerated their march, and all the heavy grain and grass were temporarily separated from the large army and delayed the escort.

……

Kangyanju, this stone city is the capital of the former Subian country. As the strength of the Beiwei army became stronger and stronger, as early as three years ago, the Beiwei army controlled the twenty-two cities of the Subi Kingdom.

Although, the Subi country is already history.

However, Subenazhen still has a deep affection for Subi.

The river is dense here, and the ravines are criss-crossed.

Subinazhen, who lived here and raised her baby with peace of mind, never thought that the Tibetan army would suddenly attack here.

Subinajan, who had no tribal soldiers, had no choice but to ask her lover for help.

Although Xunxiang came, he failed to break through the encirclement of the Tubo people, but trapped the 3,000 Beiwei army here.

Slowly, this inexplicable battle turned into a refueling tactic.

Looking for the appearance was trapped, Liu Tong came to the rescue.

As a result, the Tibetan army surrounded by the surrounding area was even larger, with a rough estimate of no less than 100,000 people.

In addition to the fact that the Tibetans did attack regardless of casualties at the beginning, when Liu Tong sent a messenger to ask Chen Ying for help.

Instead, the Tibetans stopped attacking, and if Liu Tong didn't try to break through, they would have been around to feed the cattle with peace of mind.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the Tibetan people outside.

The deputy minister smiled bitterly and said: "I'm sorry, Lao Liu, I have caused you and all the brothers!" ”

It's a conspiracy, a very big conspiracy.

If he couldn't see it anymore, he would have lived to a dog all these years.

Liu Tong smiled faintly and said: "In the words of General Chen, the Tubo people want to surround and send reinforcements, but unfortunately they lack a good pair of teeth!" ”

Puzzled: "You mean...... Will General Chen come? ”

Liu Tong said with a smile: "Such a beautiful thing, how can it be without General Chen!" ”
