Chapter 857 Buy 300,000 soldiers, Liu Xi is pressing

On the one hand, he had to deal with the attack that the Great Song Dynasty might launch at any time, and on the other hand, he had to defend against the other two companies that took the opportunity to sneak attack.

Although the actions of the three princes of Tibet showed the maturity of the three people in military and political affairs, they also made the people of the world see a big joke of repulsion from the same race. The most important thing is that the three of them acted like this, which was exactly what Liu Xing expected.

Since the three kings of Tubo did not trust each other, Liu Xing expected that the three guys would have such a situation, so naturally he would not just think about it, but would take advantage of the disagreement between the three of them to make an article.

How does this article work?

Just when Wudongzan, Qinderang and Dusong were busy deploying troops and defending both inside and outside. First of all, the three lords behind the southern and Tianzhu coalition armies of Dusong met the "**** envoy" who flew to their capital on the "Sky Dome" at the same time.

After the three chief envoy-level officials of the Li Fan Yuan arrived in the three countries of Tianzhu with the letter of state and the letter of alliance, as soon as they saw their lords, they immediately told the three lords of Liu Xing's strategy.

According to Liu Xing's strategy, the three lords didn't think much about it, and immediately sent instructions to the generals leading the army in front of them, and the three alliance forces in front of them immediately made changes before the battle.

Elephant soldiers are the characteristic troops of the Tianzhu countries. Although elephant soldiers are the sharpest soldiers in areas with hot climate and dense rainforests, they are still very intimidating and lethal with their momentum after rushing to the plateau.

Liu Xing's strategy was to have the three countries quickly assemble all their elephant soldiers together and hand them over to a general named Luo Baman, who was appointed by Duan Zhengyan to command.

How many elephant soldiers are there in the Three Kingdoms of Tianzhu? The total number was nearly half of the troops dispatched by the Three Kingdoms, that is, 300,000 people.

After the 300,000 elephant soldiers were assembled, before Robert Mo, who was leading the troops in front, could redeploy on his own, Gao Mingliang, the special envoy and Gao Taiming's son Gao Mingliang, who was strictly reprimanded by Duan Zhengyan, led a team of Northern Korean forbidden troops to him in an airship.

As soon as Gao Mingliang arrived in front of the army, he immediately read out the "**** Divine Appearance" and promulgated the decree of the Heavenly Council: canonizing Robert Mo as the general of Funan in the Great Song Dynasty and awarding him the title of third-class baron. At the same time, he also awarded his twenty-four generals the rank of lieutenant general, major general, and the rank of cavalry lieutenant from the first to the third class.

Tianzhu is rich, but because Tianzhu has been divided by city-states for hundreds of years and has not formed a truly complete and powerful state, its wealth is in fact in a state of long-term separation.

If wealth is gathered in one place, then the king or emperor in power can make the nobles in his country get a lot of wealth. Once the wealth is divided and possessed, the result is that when the royal family is not yet hugely rich, the aristocracy An Neng is really rich.

The idea that Hui came up with was also a strategy that Liu Xing agreed to immediately after hearing it, that is, to use the rich financial resources of the Northern Dynasty to directly buy a group of generals who died for wealth in the armies of the three kingdoms of Tianzhu's allies to help the Great Song Dynasty consolidate its control over those three countries.

So Liu Xing and Hui are sure that this plan will succeed? The answer is success.

When Robert Moham, who was called the "Twenty-Five Lords of Tianzhu" by Liu Xing, learned that from the date of his general's rank and title, they would receive several times the salary given to them by their respective lords from the Great Song Dynasty every month from the date they were sealed and conferred. The twenty-five new lords suddenly turned their hearts sharply, and all of them swore to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty forever and to the "**** gods".

The generals who led the troops all united to the Great Song Dynasty, what does this mean? This means that the 300,000 elephant soldiers who were gathered together were still nominally those three countries, but in fact they had become a distant strong army bought by the Great Song Dynasty.

Could it be that Liu Xing wants to clean up the three princes of Tubo, and there will be no new actions after buying these elephant soldiers?

The answer is no.

Liu Xing not only did not have no new moves, but made Gao Mingliang the supervisor of the army, named him a second-class baron, and awarded the rank of general, and Gao Mingliang was fully responsible for the war affairs of the 300,000 Tianzhu elephant soldiers. On the first day of Gao Mingliang's appointment as the general of the Shangjian Army, he ordered 100,000 elephant soldiers to rush to Dusong's army from the front in accordance with the secret order given to him by Liu Xing. The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and once the war began, the war fell into a tragic and anxious state.

The elephant soldiers fought against the yak soldiers, and the Tubo and Tianzhu people fought on the territory of Dusong for three days. Gao Mingliang followed Liu Xing's order, and suddenly ordered the troops to be divided into six routes and scattered the 200,000 elephant soldiers.

What did the 200,000 elephant soldiers do when they were divided into six armies? The two sides rushed to the two flanks of Tsumatsu's army, attacking from its flanks, and instantly completely pressed Domomatsu's army to the disadvantage with a three-sided attack.

Among the other four Tianzhu elephant soldiers, two ran to the area where Dusong and Wudongzan territory meet, and the other two ran to the area where Dusong and Qinderang territory meet.

The goal is very clear, and Liu Xing asked Gao Mingliang to "insert the enemy's junction and use its suspicion to build a cornerstone." Restraining the three feudatories, waiting for the opportunity to attack them suddenly, strangely, and at night, making them panic all day long. ”

The strategic intent was this, Liu Xing turned the more than 100,000 elephant soldiers on the four roads into four nails inserted into the edge of the border of the territory of the three Tubo kings. As long as that nail was cut in and a new base was successfully established at the junction of the Three Kings, Liu Xing firmly believed that the war could actually be declared to be over with a great victory......

Of course, Liu Xing will not pin all his hopes on the Tianzhu elephant soldiers under the command of General Dali, and the ones who really want to sing the leading role in the battle against the three kings of Tubo must be the three-way soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty.

Just when Gao Mingliang successfully implemented the second step according to the plan, Liu Xi in the north moved first in Qinde. It is still the tactic of "marching together and marching step by step", this time Liu Xiyi turned into a move that he personally led the remaining three armies and 180,000 troops of Xiqiang to follow closely behind the vanguard army to cross Tanggula, and approached Luoqicheng with great momentum.

More than 430 battalions were divided into three echelons and advanced in formation, with an average distance of three miles from each other. For a time, the entire Tanggula and even the broader area of 300 miles were all flying high with the word "Liu".

The Qinghai army, under the leadership of Liu Xi, launched a new offensive, and the momentum alone surprised Qin Derang and his leaders.

Some of the clan leaders who were terrified in their hearts and wanted to break through Gao Mingtai's ambush zone with their soldiers and horses and flee into Luoqi City were captured by Liu Xi and Gao Mingtai within three days of learning that Liu Xi had made a big move.

A large number of tribes surrendered to the Song army, so that the Tubo soldiers who finally fled to the city of Luo according to the orders of Qinderang eventually reached only about 200,000.
