669 Li Yuanchang's invitation
The battle of Tubo officially began on the second day, and the Zongheng Division, as the main organization responsible for this part of the war, became the most important way for Li Er's Majesty to understand the war, and constantly had the blood drops of the Zongheng Division to convey the latest Tang army battle situation and the civil strife in Tubo to Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire, in the fastest way, and then quickly summarized it into the hands of the emperor Li Shimin, for the emperor to know the latest war situation......
For example, the famous historical site Stone Fort City built in the era of Emperor Wen of Sui and Yang Jian, was appointed by Li Shiji to be seven outstanding students of the military academy, with Li Jing's grandson Li Boyao as the leader, led 500 soldiers to attack it, it is said that Li Boyao used Suning to deal with the way of the wingmen, and raided Shibao City at night with incendiary cans, as a result, the Tubo defenders of Shibao City were only 100 people, and they were burned to death, and the Tang army successfully climbed to the top of Shibao City after accidentally losing three people.
The last information I got was that Lu Dongzan's family had gone to Shibao City to ask for reinforcements during the Tubo Rebellion, and the 1,000 defenders of Shibao City mobilized 900 people to support the territorial defense of the 12 northern lords in the war, and then the whole army was wiped out, and the remaining 100 people have been guarding until today, it is said that they thought that Shibao City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and no one would come to attack in a short time, so they made such a decision.
happened to be hit by Li Boyao at the best time, and captured the stone castle city guarded by a hundred people with the loss of three people, there is no technical difficulty, I don't know if this news is learned by Ge Shuhan in another time and space, this guy will vomit blood and die, Li Boyao exchanged three people for one hundred people in Tubo. And General Geshu exchanged 30,000 people for 400 people in Tibet......
Naturally, the stone fort city in this period has lost its important strategic significance, only the historical significance remains, and the capture of the stone fort city is just a small cattle knife test, Li Boyao completed the task brilliantly, and pulled out the last stronghold of the Tubo government army in the north, the Tubo army did not know that it would be the Tang army that attacked them, and they did not know what was born now, and the people who survived in the stone fort city did not know that Tubo was now on the verge of extinction.
In addition, the 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty were divided into ten roads, with ten generals leading one road and marching south in different directions. And the final gathering place is the city of Luo, the capital of Tibet. Then, if there is some kind of danger that cannot be dealt with during the march, the red wolf smoke can be released, and at that time, the friendly forces that are relatively close can rush to the aid and rely on the wolf smoke to communicate with each other.
After the 100,000-strong army marched south. It's overwhelming. Sweep away the insignificant resistance of the Tibetan mob army all the way. After catching a few Tibetans who were dying of starvation and giving them a full meal, they gratefully asked to lead the way. After becoming a glorious leader of the way, with these Tibetan refugees who are familiar with the latest situation to lead the way, they easily wiped out dozens of settlements under the jurisdiction of the Tubo mob legion, and easily destroyed the remaining forces of the northern mob legion, almost effortlessly.
During this period, the most headache for the generals was the lack of troops, and they could not leave too many soldiers and horses to occupy and control the territories that had been attacked, the territory of Tibet was not small, and it was unexpectedly vast, and the 100,000 army seemed to be less, Li Shiji asked the Tang side to send 6 consecutive occupation troops to occupy the land that had been breached, and on the other hand, he requested that the corresponding administrative officials be immediately dispatched to lead the administrative team to establish the rule.
On the day of the army's attack, the first batch of administrative personnel arrived at the Guzhou and Hunzhou Prefecture Governors, and then also dispatched a large number of newly recruited standing troops of 50,000 people to prepare to enter Tibet, preparing to occupy the various administrative divisions of Tibet.
Suning's emergency measures to deal with a large number of expanded territories have been well implemented at this time, after the elimination of Tuyuhun because the territory of Tuyuhun is not large, so it can be bearable, but Suning believes that the land area of Tubo is too large, and it is difficult to really occupy it without enough troops and the corresponding government management team, there must be a lot of problems, so it is urgent to break away from the standing army outside the local government soldiers, after that, the standing army system began to be implemented, and now, it comes in handy.
Because Datang has conducted two imperial examinations before, and has obtained a large number of excellent reserve officials with the ability to manage local areas, and because the current demand for officials in Datang is not very large, the implementation of the Shandong Rejuvenation Plan and the Jiangnan Rise Plan has not completely mobilized the demand for officials, so although these officials are qualified, they have no official positions to do, and for a time nearly 1,000 outstanding talents who competed for positions in the imperial examination were useless.
Li Er's majesty was worried about where to place these outstanding talents, and the strategy of Tubo gave him a good opportunity to send all these officials to Tubo to be officials and manage the hometown of Tubo, and the administrative officials of the Tang Dynasty would have to do this in the future, and the officials who passed the imperial examination must hold official positions in the newly occupied areas outside the Tang Dynasty for at least three years before they could be transferred back to the mainland to take up official positions, which is a kind of experience.
Then Li Er's majesty issued an order, and a thousand reserve officials went to Tubo to prepare to serve as administrative officials in the twenty states divided by Tubo's hometown. It is also possible to gradually transfer them to the central government.
It is also because of this incident that there is an iron law in the selection system of Datang officials in the future, announcing the official names and specific requirements of each official position, but it is not written where the official position is to be held, and the candidates will choose these official positions for examination and competition with each other, and after the examination, they can get the opportunity to hold the corresponding official position in a place outside the Datang locality, at least three years, and only after three years can those with outstanding political achievements be transferred back to the Datang Territory to serve as officials, and then they will be transferred to Beijing as officials.
This is a bold innovation.
The benefits are obvious. The Tang Dynasty's attack on Tibet was strongly supported by these officials, and although these reserve officials felt that they would have to endure hardships, they at least had hope and were full of enthusiasm, hoping that they could be transferred back to their homeland to take up official posts after three years, which was a kind of hope.
The land of Tibet is bitterly cold, and twenty states can be regarded as giving them face, and when the land is vast and sparsely populated, it is also possible to divide a thousand miles of land into one state, and only places with a large number of people need to be divided carefully. Therefore, the administrative divisions of Tibet are now only divided into prefectures. For the subordinate county level, it is necessary to wait until the state rule is established, and then consider it after field research.
The Tang Dynasty has been advancing all the way, but the Tibetan side is gloomy. Songtsen Gampo led the last of his forces to defend the city. Huge improvements have been made to the defense of the city. And it has absorbed the opinions of many Tang soldiers and added a lot of weapons, so the suppression of the Divine Sect Guardian Legion and the Mob Legion is very powerful. Almost very lightly, he repelled the three joint attacks of the Divine Cult and the Mob Legion, and severely injured the combat power of the Divine Cult and the Mob Legion.
After three great victories, Songtsen Gampo even led the army out of the city for a counterattack, successfully broke through dozens of camps of the other side, and burned a large amount of grain and grass ordnance of the other side before being stopped, Scar led his personal guards and Songtsen Gampo to start a face-to-face battle, and the fight was a draw, Songtsen Gampo finally led the army to retreat to the city, leaving Scar to look at the mess is very unhappy.
At present, the battle of the city of Luo has entered a stalemate, and both sides have no way to destroy each other's army in a short time, so they simply retreat into their own territory without any other movement, and confront each other, generally speaking, a siege battle is carried out every three days, and there are incidental night attacks and sneak attacks, Songtsen Gampo sits on a strong city defense, but also makes the army of the outer city helpless.
Hei Ye knew that according to the ancient art of war, the siege battle generally needed at least six times the enemy's strength as a backing, so that the siege war could be launched, otherwise the loss ratio between the besieging side and the defending side was too different, and the pressure on the besieging side was too great, and the total strength of the mob legion and the Divine Sect Guardian Legion was only 150,000, and it was really a little stretched in the face of more than 100,000 garrison troops of Songtsen Gampo.
However, Hei Ye is very willing to believe that as long as the siege is surrounded, they will starve to death sooner or later, as long as the siege is long enough, the big time is enough, and the mutual losses are large enough, then when the Tang army arrives, it will be easier to wipe out the last strength of Tubo......
Hou Ye is really a clever calculation!
The fighting continues......
The battle here is in full swing, but Suning is living his own comfortable life in the two points and one line between Chang'an City and Sanyuan County, and he feels that he is the same as going to work before, and when he has a job, he runs back to Chang'an City to work, and when he doesn't work, he runs home to accompany his wife and children, watching his son and daughter grow up day by day, Suning is not to mention how happy he is, these wars are not Suning's turn, Suning is also very happy, and it is acceptable to do some civilian tasks.
However, Suning wants to live a peaceful life, and some people seem to be reluctant, such as Li Yuanchang, who makes him feel very uncomfortable, likes to come to Sufu to visit Suning when he has nothing to do, and once he came with Li Chengqian, in the name of academic exchanges and calligraphy and painting exchanges, Suning has been constantly communicating with Suning, and never mentioning anything other than calligraphy and painting, which makes Suning very incomprehensible, so he has to deal with it carefully, Suning doesn't know if Li Yuanchang is aware of his wariness of him, Anyway, Li Yuanchang often appears in Su Mansion as Suning's friend.
Until one day, Li Yuanchang got another calligraphy and painting from Suning's hand, so he was satisfied, and before leaving, he invited Suning: "I always come to Brother Su's house to have fun, but I didn't invite Brother Su to my house to have fun, hehe, I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to have fun, like to read, learn calligraphy and paint, and I have a lot of good treasures at home."
During this period of time, Brother Su has rubbed a lot of wine and meat dishes, and he is quite embarrassed to be in the next place, so tomorrow, if Brother Su is free, he will call Cheng Qian together, how about the three of us play together in the lower house? There are a lot of novelties in Xiafu, and I believe that Brother Su will be very interested. ”
Suning was embarrassed to refuse, and there really was nothing to do tomorrow, plus he was also going to call Li Chengqian over, on alert, it was better not to let him and Li Chengqian get along alone, so Suning nodded and agreed, although I don't know what kind of medicine this guy's gourd sells, but the heart of defense is indispensable, plus the bad record of this guy in history, Suning still decided to pay more attention.
