Chapter 517: Using soldiers to Tibet
The Tang garrison on the Tubo Plateau ushered in an eight-hundred-mile rush.
His Majesty the Holy Emperor Mingzun of the Tang Dynasty had the idea and immediately launched an attack on Tubo, targeting the Dalai Lama's sphere of influence.
At the same time, following eight hundred miles, the supreme commander of this war, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, came in a hurry.
unknown
Not seeing him in person, the generals stationed on the plateau all speculated about what he looked like. Only the commander-in-chief Yan Yan was silent with a hint of expectation.
Zhao Yun did not ride the Zhaoye Jade Lion this time, but used the fast horse prepared at the inn along the way.
Zhao Yun arrives
Meet the supreme commander stationed on the plateau
The two were stunned when they met
"Yan Yan?"
"Zi Long?"
"why you"
"It's really you"
The two immediately started laughing
"long time no see"
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see General Yan when he was young, but Yun didn't expect it."
"Yeah, I didn't expect Zilong to be so young."
hehe
The two of them held hands and walked into the tent like good friends. The generals who thought there was going to be a fight between dragons and tigers were dumbfounded.
It was promised that the strong dragon and the local snake would compete with each other. Why did they suddenly become good friends? Oops, it’s not so exciting.
The two of them entered the big tent
Yan Yan asked Zhao Yun to be the leader, but Zhao Yun refused and said, "General Yan is the chief general here, so you should be in charge."
"That's not what I'm saying. You are the imperial envoy sent by my lord. You are the supreme commander of this war. You should be here to sit down. Otherwise, how can you convince the public!"
"Then, Zhao Yun won't postpone it any longer."
"please"
The two of them sat down, and the rest of the generals sat down one at a time, left and right.
Zhao Yun asked Yan Yan: "General, how is the war situation in Tibet now? Are our armaments ready? When do you think it is best for us to send troops?"
As expected, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong are indeed veterans on the battlefield, and they are also sharp and sharp when asking questions.
"According to reports from the front, Tubo's Zhi Sai Dang Ru Gongdun and Niang Chi Sang Yang Dun are having a lively fight with several leaders from the Dalai Lama camp. The reason is that those leaders are greedy for Zhi Sai Dang Ru Gongdun and Nangchi Sang Yang Dun.
Niangchi Sangyang sent people to sneak attack on their food supplies, and it happened that their brother and his men were killed in a sneak attack while on inspection."
"so coincidental?"
"Indeed, as for our armaments, since we are always in a state of war preparation, there is no shortage of basic supplies. We have 300,000 arrows, 30,000 horses, armor and crossbows with double portions of food, which can last for half a year.
"
"Do you have a small steel cannon?"
Small steel cannon?
Yan Yan had heard that you Qi, who attacked the city, was also the biggest contributor to the Japanese island kingdom. Thinking about how many cannons blasted away the tall city, it was terrible. It was a pity that Li Mingda did not equip them.
Yan Yan said with some regret: "Your Majesty did not provide any configuration."
No
Then it is obviously impossible to attack the city. Zhao Yun recalled that Li Mingda, who had a good time eating, drinking and having fun at Yihong Tower, ordered: Zilong, remember, attack if you can take advantage, leave if you can't, take only
Just beat the Dalai Lama's people. If conditions permit, you can leave some food for them if you meet Songtsen Gampo's people. Not too much, just enough for them to eat one or two meals.
Zhao Yun asked Li Mingda at that time: "Why is my lord like this?"
Li Mingda smiled mysteriously: To give the Dalai Lama an illusion, the Tang Dynasty and Songtsan Gampo have joined forces to wipe them all out. The so-called peace talks are just a temporary measure to continue to provoke conflicts between them. The current situation on the plateau is
There are not many good days left. The severe cold will come soon and you can just withdraw a few times. I will make my own arrangements for the rest.
Thinking about Li Mingda's mysterious smile at that time, Zhao Yun knew that most likely the lord still had some secret cards in his hand, and he was just here to complete Li Mingda's plan that confused the other party.
"General, could you please mark the location of the Dalai Lama's personnel? We can start tomorrow morning."
"good"
Yan Yan took out the map and checked it with Zhao Yun. The two discussed it and followed Li Mingda's instructions to launch a raid on the nearest Dalai Lama territory, and then follow a long line from south to north to kill.
The people who arrived at Songtsen Gampo just stopped and evacuated and gave them some food at the same time.
Confirm plan
Yan Yan ordered his generals to make preparations. If Zhao Yun was tired from the journey, he should go to rest early.
Early the next morning, before dawn, in Datang's camp, the soldiers woke up from their sleep and heard the melodious sound of military drums.
It's time to assemble
The soldiers were very excited. They were stationed on this land. The daily drills were boring and boring, and they couldn't go out to fight the Tubo people. What to do with their military achievements? They heard that Gongsun Zan attacked Bangzi Kingdom without sealing his sword for three days.
The gold and silver treasures and military achievements are countless, and they are also the achievements of destroying the country.
In a barracks
Several soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are putting on their armors
One of the young soldiers asked the older captains around him: "Captain, do you think we can wipe out the Tibetan people this time?"
"What are you thinking about?"
"You want to get a wife?"
"Hahaha..."
Listening to his own laughter, the young man's face turned red: "Don't laugh at me. Isn't it normal to want to marry a wife? I don't have a baby like you. I am the brother army that I heard about attacking Bangzi Country.
But I made a lot of money and military exploits.”
"Isn't that right? Each of Guangyinzi's brothers is worth 20 taels, and there are several who have been knighted."
"We'll get a few later too."
The older captain put on his armor, stood up, and helped the young man who asked him just now to tidy up and said: "It's okay to be greedy for military glory. Remember to protect yourself first. Although the armor and swords of the Tubo people don't need to be used by us,
But they are desperate for their lives, and we must seize the opportunity to attack Tubo this time. There may not be many battles in the Tang Dynasty, and it may even be said that there may not be any for many years."
The young man asked him: "Why~?"
"The Japanese island country is already one of our state capitals, the Bangzi Kingdom has been wiped out, and Silla is already our vassal state. The Turks were beaten by us some time ago. There will be no possibility of rebellion within ten years. The surrounding areas
After all, we are left with Tubo in front of us."
Initially, the young man was a little disappointed, but after hearing the last word, his eyes were full of excitement: "Great, the final military exploits are right in front of us. As long as we fight well this time, we can come back with some military exploits."
The older soldier patted the other man's head: "Why are you excited? It's not yet time. Winter is about to begin. If we can't defeat them, we can only fight a few battles. If we destroy them, it won't be until next year."
"Captain, how do you know so much?"
"The instructor in our camp told me that you can start learning when you become the captain."
"I will definitely be the one"
Young people are full of fighting spirit
At dawn, facing the rising sun, the Tang garrison was assembled. Zhao Yun and Yan Yan stood on the school field and looked at the soldiers who were full of fighting spirit, with high fighting spirit in their hearts.
"Soldiers, you all know that the Tang Dynasty rewards military merits very generously. Now the time has come to obtain military merits. Pick up your swords, mount your war horses and set off. You will be granted the title of Marquis and Chancellor. It depends on the present day. I am your Majesty.
May your military fortunes be prosperous."
