The news of the civil strife in Tubo came to the Tang Dynasty, and the ministers were inexplicably excited, and the military general group had not been to the court for about two years, but as soon as the news came back, the military group immediately went to the court, and the military university sent a special person headed by Niu Jinda to the court to see if it could get any benefits in this military operation.

During this period of time, the military group's table is still very good, Li Er Majesty xià feels that his beating is very effective, the original flying generals have disappeared, and the evil servants all over the streets have disappeared, and the imperial history table said that the security situation in Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty has improved a lot during this period of time, Li Er Majesty Xià is very satisfied, and feels that this stick is very good and effective, so it is time to give a sweet date.

In addition, the news of the civil turmoil in Tibet made Li Ermaxi feel inexplicably surprised, and by the way, he also looked at those generals a lot, so the generals of the military got a lot of benefits, in this informal meeting, on the situation of civil strife in Tibet, Li Ermaxi let the military and Wenchen exchange a lot of views, and made a lot of very important decisions.

For example, Du Ruhui proposed that the purchase of a large number of fine weapons of the Tang Dynasty proposed by the Tibetan government should be agreed, because no matter what aspects it is, this is a good thing, selling it to him can not only get a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but also get the financial income of Tubo, and obtain the wealth of Tubo in a grand manner, why not? And the better the weapon, the greater the lethality. The people who fought and died were all Tubo, and this round of civil strife in Tubo has caused Tubo's national strength to decline for 30 years!

Sell it to them, why don't you sell it, such a good opportunity to make money, we raise the price higher, get more wealth, and then quietly sell it to the mob army and the god cult guard legion, so that they can kill the sky and the moon, and it is the Tang Dynasty that gets the benefits. Does Songtsen Gampo really think that he is still the one in power in Tibet? He thinks too much. It's just a lie, without a wise man like Lu Dongzan, he's a waste.

And judging from the report, Zanpu, who is likely to be in the future of Tubo, is a person who doesn't like the Tang Dynasty very much. This person's existence is very problematic. But that's okay. Before they decided the winner, Datang was already sure of the victory, even if that guy did Zampu. It won't last long, and the Zongheng Division has made a series of preparations, which will definitely make Tubo have no future!

The ministers applauded, the emperor applauded, the Zongheng Division did a very good job, and won my heart, En, when the time comes, you can raise the Zongheng Division to a level, this great achievement will be recorded, and when the level is upgraded, it will be rewarded together, and it is time to add a new member to the six departments of the Tang Dynasty!

Then the military group also expressed their views on this time, this incident gave the military full time to prepare, the army arrangements of Guzhou and Hunzhou have been properly arranged, 50,000 troops have been fully loaded, and they can wave their divisions south in a few days to sweep the north of Tubo, but if you want to attack the entire Tubo, it is estimated that 50,000 troops are not too much, so I hope that His Majesty the Emperor can supplement some troops as appropriate, so that this annexation campaign can be fought more confidently.

Li Er Majesty thought for a while, agreed to the military's conditions, and waved his hand, this military operation allowed the military to mobilize 100,000 troops to participate in the exhibition, and asked the military to give a practical plan in the shortest possible time, hand it over for the emperor to review, and then wait for the order to send troops, as soon as the order arrives, set off immediately, without the slightest delay, to annex the empty northern part of Tibet as quickly as possible, and then concentrate on the main force of the southern Tibetan army to wipe out all the three sides!

This is the second joint operation of a large army of more than 100,000 troops since the elimination of the Eastern Turkic Khanate, because of the particularity of this operation, Li Er's Majesty approved the use of incendiary canisters and the use of the latest research and development of the Ministry of Industry Burst Tang crossbow, it is necessary to break all the resistance forces of Tubo in one fell swoop, wipe out Tubo in one fell swoop, completely sweep away the obstacles to the westward advance of the Tang Dynasty, and lay a solid foundation for the Tang Dynasty to move to a higher place!

This time in military action, there is no enemy and no enemy!

At the same time, some people raised the question of the reason for sending troops, since ancient times, combat operations need to be justified, otherwise it is very easy to cause turmoil in the surrounding vassal countries, and Du Ruhui put forward a key point in this regard.

That is, according to the current situation, the secret agents of the Zongheng Division have thought that it is difficult for Songtsen Gampo to resist the attacks of both sides at the same time, and once Songtsan Gampo falls into decline, and is forced to ask for help from Datang, how should Datang respond? Right! This is the reason why Datang sent troops! The courtiers put forward a lot of opinions on this, and finally unified their thoughts, thinking that this was the best opportunity for the Tang Dynasty, and it was justifiable to send troops to pacify Tibet.

The northern and western parts of Tubo are occupied by rebels, and the Tang Dynasty currently only recognizes the government of Songtsen Gampo, so except for the occupied areas and the southern region of the Songtsen Gampo government, the others are enemy-occupied areas, and it is justified for the Tang Dynasty as an ally of Tubo to help Tubo sweep away the rebellion of Tubo, and it is normal for the regular army of Tubo to help manage before recovering the lost territory, and it is normal for the regular army of Tubo to eliminate the rebels together, and it is natural for the Tubo government to treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and it is natural for the Tubo government to attack the Tang Dynasty and cause losses by sneaking up on the Tang Dynasty. Then it is normal for the Tang Dynasty to take advantage of the situation to defend itself and counterattack, and it is normal to eliminate the annexation of Tibet......

Speaking of this, everyone understood, everyone laughed sinisterly, if you don't give me a reason, then I can just make a reason myself, a strong country does not need too many reasons to go to war against a weak country, as long as there is such a small thing, no matter how the weak country avoids the war, it will still be forced to go to war, at that time, if there is no longer the ability to fight, and the army of the strong country is strong, the result of the war is self-evident.

Li Erma was even happier, seeing that a large piece of land was about to fall into his hands, how could he not be happy? So we took this opportunity to discuss how to manage the homeland of Tubo after the annexation of Tibet, the plateau, the cold and hardship, the development of agriculture is impossible, and the development of agriculture is not very good, so there is no development as a food base, but the bitter cold land is a good place for military training.

Li Shiji, who has experienced the plateau climate, has a deep understanding of this. It is believed that the plateau climate can be a good exercise for a soldier's strong physique, since it cannot be built as a food production area and a commercial base, then it is simply a military training area, every year Datang can send a considerable number of soldiers to train on the plateau, and at the same time stationed, to prevent rebellion; At the same time, the strategic position of the land of Tibet is very important, and it can even be used as the rear of the Tang Dynasty's attack on the Western Regions, so it is necessary to build it into a military control area.

Niu Jinda proposed that the bitter cold land is the most suitable for training strong soldiers, so every military university student should have at least three months to train in the bitter cold land of the plateau. It's military training! The three-month military training was to be completed on the plateau. If you can't complete it, you don't deserve to enter a military university and enjoy high welfare benefits! This was unanimously agreed upon by all the generals.

Regarding the political and economic value of the hometown of Tibet, Fang Xuanling put forward a report, arguing that although the bitter cold land is not conducive to grain production. But there are other benefits. For example, it is suitable for grazing. There is often a lot of meat flowing into the Datang market in the Tibetan land, and the Datang is now very short of meat products, if the grazing industry is strengthened in the plateau. It can provide a lot of meat for the local Tang Dynasty and strengthen the health of the people.

Then there will be a lot of natural treasures in the bitter cold land of the plateau, which may be a good opportunity for the development of the pharmaceutical industry, and may be able to find a lot of new medicinal materials and precious things on the plateau, and it will also have a great effect.

Li Ermajesty adopted these buildings one by one, praised the courtiers who proposed the construction of yì, and then quickly promulgated and implemented, and the Tang Embassy in Tubo immediately said that the Tang government was willing to provide weapons to the Tubo government, but military advisers These things are not allowed for the time being, after all, this is the internal affairs of Tubo, and the Tang Dynasty cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Tubo.

This is a delaying tactic, Du Ruhui thinks that the army can not accept any conditions related to the internal affairs of Tubo now, otherwise it will give Songtsen Gampo a great alarm, and now hang him first, so that he really thinks that the Tang Dynasty does not want to take care of the internal affairs of Tubo, and when he is really cornered, what he wants at that time is not a military adviser, but the intervention of the Tang army!

Du Ruhan's calculations are very accurate, Songtsen Gampo is indeed testing the Tang Dynasty, after all, he is a hero, Songtsan Gampo will not lose his cool so easily, calmly send two armies to resist the mob legion and the god sect guard legion, Songtsan Gampo is fully prepared for tactics, although the forcibly recruited army has no combat effectiveness, but it is still possible to use it as cannon fodder, his own elite army is still useful as a killer weapon, it is not so easy to let these rebellions succeed, even if they are flanked by two ways!

It's just that the powerful combat effectiveness of the mob legion and the god cult guard corps seems to be somewhat beyond Songtsen Gampo's imagination, and the first battle of the two resistance armies was very miserable, each losing tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Scar even beheaded the forward general of the army on that road, and wiped out the forward army, and the god sect guard corps lured the advance of the light enemy into the valley and annihilated it, and all of a sudden the two armies were defeated, and Songtsen Gampo was a little flustered.

He severely reprimanded the commanders of the two armies, strictly ordering them to win the battle, otherwise they would not come back to see him, people were forced to be in a hurry, and everything was done, so the Tubo government army won the victory in the second battle, and the momentum of the mob army and the god cult guard army were severely defeated, and the lost territory was recaptured in one sentence, and the important stronghold was seized, and the two sides started a confrontation.

Songtsen Gampo relaxed a little.

But the ensuing third battle made Songtsen Gampo dizzy, although the third battle was won, but the Northern Route Army's most trusted general was lured by the enemy, was killed by an arrow, lost a general and more than a thousand cavalry, so that Songtsen Gampo was greatly shocked, a thousand troops are easy to get a general is hard to find, and now the war has just begun, but lost a general, how big a blow is this? Songtsen Gampo was ready to fight in person.

Originally, Lu Dongzan was an excellent candidate, but the boat capsized in the gutter, he died, the 100,000 army was wiped out, his family members were killed, the twelve lords of the north were all wiped out, Songtsen Gampo lost his greatest help, and although the combat effectiveness of the Western Divine Sect Guardian Legion was not very sharp, it was very stable, and his army could not fight with it several times, which made Songtsen Gampo angry.

On May 10, the ninth year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the Western General Battle took place, the Shenming Sect Guard Corps annihilated 80,000 Tubo West Route Army with a loss of 15,000 people, it is said that a very strange tactic was used, it is rumored that I don't know who used witchcraft to cause fire rain from the sky, and the morale of the Tubo government army was dispersed at once, and they did not dare to fight, and then it was a unilateral massacre, the Tubo West Route Army was annihilated, the commander was burned alive, the Tubo central government was shaken, and Songtsen Gampo vomited a mouthful of blood, When he woke up, he gritted his teeth and announced that he was going to go on the expedition himself.

At this moment, Tubo is stormy! (To be continued......)
