A few days later, Li Min received a piece of information.
Regarding Songzhou, the territory of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of Tibetan spies appeared at this time.
This is no small matter.
Because if this happens, the Tubo people may want to attack Songzhou.
I don’t know who gave Songtsen Gampo the courage.
Now that Tang Dynasty was so powerful, he actually dared to attack Songzhou.
In order to let Li Shimin know this in advance.
Li Min said: "Organize a thousand mobile phones to immediately send intelligence about Songzhou to the emperor."
In this case, Li Shimin can take it seriously.
Because if one person says this, the credibility is not high, but if a hundred people say it, it needs to be taken seriously.
If a thousand people say it, it is very important. It is not just as simple as paying attention to it.
Therefore, Li Shimin summoned all civil and military officials to the palace overnight to discuss matters.
Li Shimin first said: "Have you heard anything about Songzhou?"
The ministers said: "Your Majesty, we have heard about it and found that the Tubo people are really too arrogant and dare to attack Songzhou. I think we should conquer them directly! Let them know how powerful we are."
"Your Majesty, there must be a reason why the Tubo people dare to do this. Do they think their military strength is strong, so they dare to do this?"
"As far as I know, Tubo has hundreds of helicopters, which are first-generation helicopter combat aircraft purchased from the Shengtang Group."
Li Shimin was quite shocked.
"What? Shengtang Group actually sold them a helicopter?" Li Shimin wondered why Li Min sold the helicopter to Songtsan Gampo.
However, Li Min was first of all a businessman, and the helicopter he sold to Songtsen Gampo was the first generation, so he thought it was okay. As long as it was not the latest, everything was fine.
"Yes, Your Majesty, they paid a very high price to buy a first-generation machine."
Others said: "The strength of first-generation aircraft is too poor. We have all launched tenth-generation aircraft. One tenth-generation aircraft can crush five first-generation aircraft. They can't beat us. What is Songtsen Gampo thinking?"
"If Shengtang Group doesn't sell them a first-generation machine, they won't dare to do it, right?"
"Ambition! In fact, I am on the side of the Sixth Prince. Now Shengtang Group needs more money, and I think it is okay to sell the first-generation machine at a high price."
…
Civil and military officials expressed their opinions.
It seems the problem has not been solved yet.
At this time, someone said: "Your Majesty, we are only looking at the Tibetan spies now. They have not attacked. If we go over to fight, it will look a bit unknown."
"Yes, Your Majesty, there is currently no reliable evidence to prove that they want to invade our territory."
Li Shimin didn't take it seriously.
"Are you going to wait until our people are massacred by them before you realize it? In that case, it will be too late." Li Shimin said.
Everyone fell silent.
"How many helicopters do we have now?"
Li Shimin asked again.
At this time someone came out and said: "Three thousand!"
"Okay, two thousand out of the three thousand! Go to Songzhou overnight and wait for orders!" Li Shimin gave the order, and everyone started to move.
When the helicopter was ready, information came back from Songzhou.
When Li Shimin read the intelligence, it said that Tubo invaded Songzhou Prefecture, and the commander-in-chief Han Wei led the local Tang army to fight, but was defeated by Tubo.
At this time, Han Wei had no choice but to retreat to Songzhou City and seek help from the imperial court after abandoning Gansong Ridge, an important local passage.
At this time, Li Shimin became angry immediately.
"Come on, hurry, hurry! Two thousand helicopters go to Songzhou quickly!"
He ordered.
"Zhi loses his power. Niu Jinda and Liu Jian serve as commanders and lead 50,000 Tang troops to Songzhou for support. Set off immediately!"
"yes!"
The Tang army began to gather together. It had been a long time since they had fought. Songtsen Gampo was really seeking death this time.
In this way, Tubo might be wiped out.
Let us say that 2,000 helicopters and 50,000 Tang troops quickly went to Songzhou to support.
The helicopter is very fast and can arrive in just an hour.
It took Tang Jun two hours to take the train.
There is also a long stretch of road where there are no trains, so it will take about two days to get there.
When the helicopter was heading to Songzhou.
Li Min contacted Songtsen Gampo.
He was very puzzled as to why Songtsen Gampo wanted to invade Songzhou. He was playing with fire.
"Songtsen Gampo, why do you want to invade Songzhou? This will not be good for you Tubo." Li Min asked as soon as he arrived.
"Sir, Songzhou is a good place. If we can master it, Tibet will be even more powerful." Songtsen Gampo said.
"Do you think you can defeat the Tang army?"
"I want to get what I want. Even if I can't defeat your weapons, I can rely on tactics to let you know that there is still a way to win when you are behind."
Songtsen Gampo said again.
Obviously, he still has some confidence in himself.
Such people are the most deadly.
"Songtsen Gampo, I advise you to withdraw your army and apologize to the Tang Dynasty, otherwise your people will suffer countless casualties. The Tang Dynasty is so powerful that you cannot imagine it." Li Min said again.
Songtsen Gampo didn't take it seriously.
"If it were before, I might not want Songzhou, but it's different now. I'm bound to get it."
"The strength of the Tang army is beyond your imagination. Let me say it again, don't try to challenge the authority of the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Min said again.
But Songtsen Gampo couldn't listen at all now, and he didn't know who was talking to him.
It's really a death wish.
"Sir, please leave this matter alone!" Songtsen Gampo said again.
"Why don't you listen to others' advice?"
Li Min was very unhappy and said, why is Songtsen Gampo like this?
"Okay, sir, I'm hanging up!"
Songtsen Gampo hung up the phone directly.
Li Min didn't say anything else. If that's the case, let him regret it.
That night, a large number of helicopters gathered over Songzhou.
These helicopters illuminated the entire sky above Songzhou.
When they arrived, they began to attack Songtsen Gampo's army.
There was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. Within an hour, Songtsan Gampo's army began to retreat because they could not withstand such a large firepower.
Sixty of a hundred helicopters were directly destroyed, and another forty were damaged to varying degrees.
When the news reached Songtsen Gampo, he went crazy.
He never expected how Datang could react so quickly.
Moreover, the opponent's helicopters began to crush their own troops.
Spies also reported that a large number of Tang troops were heading towards Songzhou.
Obviously, if this continues, Songtsen Gampo will probably be completely defeated.
None of this was what he wanted.
But what can he do now?
At this time, he was in a dilemma.
Li Shimin in Tai Chi Palace was very happy.
"Two thousand helicopters directly wiped out the opponent's 60 helicopters, causing the opponent heavy losses! This is good news! Pass my order to press the helicopters into Tubo territory and destroy their defenses with fire!"
Li Shimin said.
He wants to make the Tubo people suffer!
This is what happens when you invade the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, two thousand helicopters received the order and began to raid one hundred Tibetan cities.
But they only destroyed the city's defenses.
There was no massacre of the people.
But this made Songtsen Gampo very uncomfortable.
Why?
Because if this continues, his Tubo will also disappear.
So, he had to retreat.
And he called Li Min, hoping to get the solution from Li Min.
"Sir, I really didn't expect that the army of the Tang Dynasty was so powerful. In just one hour, my army was defeated. Now they are heading towards my hundred cities. Is there anything you can do to alleviate it?" Songtsan
Ganbu said.
When Li Min heard this, he laughed.
Perhaps it was because Songtsan Gampo had always been under Li Shimin's lustful power, and Songtsan Gampo couldn't forget what happened that year, so he wanted to use the invasion to make Li Shimin lose face.
But he didn't expect that Li Shimin was so fierce and directly defeated Songtsen Gampo completely.
It had only been two hours since Li Min told Songtsen Gampo to retreat.
Now Songtsen Gampo has been completely defeated.
"I have advised you. If you had retreated and apologized when I advised you, maybe you would not have behaved like this. According to my understanding of the emperor, it is impossible for you not to lose a few cities."
"Is it too late for me to apologize now?"
Li Min smiled.
"What do you think?"
"It's too late, I know."
"As long as you know."
"Then what should I do?"
"What should I do? Apologize now, and then show your sincerity to compensate! The emperor will no longer believe you, so you can take care of yourself." Li Min said again.
"This...I have spent a lot of money to launch this attack. Do you want me to pay compensation?" Songtsen Gampo obviously did not dare to accept this.
Li Min laughed again.
"Then your Tubo will be destroyed!" Li Min was not joking. Now that Li Shimin is so popular, and with the support of helicopters, he will be victorious in every battle.
"Anyway, I've told you the method. What you want to do is your business and has nothing to do with me." After Li Min finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Songtsen Gampo was silent.
He began to doubt himself.
He never thought that Datang could be so fast.
This speed shocked him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have given up so quickly.
He was not like this before.
Songtsen Gampo thought about it for a long time.
Finally, he sent someone to send a telegram to Li Shimin.
In Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin smiled when he received the call.
"Songtsen Gampo, it seems he is not a tough guy! I thought he was so tough, but now it seems he is not!"
Songtsen Gampo sent a telegram seeking peace and proposed a large amount of compensation.
At this time, Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, Songtsen Gampo has never been very loyal to the Tang Dynasty. I thought that this time I would let him come to the Tang Dynasty in person to dampen his spirit."
What Fang Xuanling said makes perfect sense.
Li Shimin was always unhappy when Songtsen Gampo ran away last time.
Now that Songtsen Gampo was about to be destroyed, he was anxious.
In fact, if Songtsan Gampo had not taken the initiative to invade Songzhou, Li Shimin might not have thought of Songtsan Gampo.
But there must be something wrong with this guy's brain to think of attacking Songzhou. It's good now that his hundred-city defense has been taken down.
Now Tubo is a defenseless lord.
If you want to survive, you have to keep your head down.
"Fang Xuanling, you are right. Come and write a telegram to Songtsen Gampo and ask him to come to Tai Chi Palace in person. I want to see him!"
"yes!"
Soon, someone sent a telegram to Songtsen Gampo.
Songtsen Gampo saw it and became anxious again.
He murmured: "If I go to the Tang Dynasty, I might not be able to come back. If I don't go, the Tang Dynasty will have to come over and try to take advantage of me. What is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty thinking?"
Now Songtsen Gampo is in a dilemma.
what to do?
He felt very uncomfortable at this time.
But no matter how uncomfortable it was, he still ordered the troops to withdraw.
Move all his troops back hundreds of miles away.
Otherwise, when the 50,000-strong army comes, they will die even more.
Just a helicopter is so powerful. Who knows what kind of equipment these 50,000 soldiers are equipped with.
This is something Songtsen Gampo didn't dare to think about.
Therefore, retreating is the right way.
And the people around him quickly said: "Zanpu, you can't go, you will definitely die if you go. How about lying and claiming that you are seriously ill in bed and can't move?"
"I think it's okay. Let's retreat to the capital and send a telegram to explain the situation."
Everyone persuaded Songtsen Gampo.
Songtsen Gampo seemed to accept it.
He said: "This is the only way!"
Yes, otherwise, he might not even be alive.
God knows what Li Shimin will do to him after he goes to the Tang Dynasty.
He is also the king of a country. If the other party asks you to go, you go. Who will be responsible for safety?
"Come here, send a telegram to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty explaining the situation." Songtsan Gampo said again.
At this time the telegram was sent to Li Shimin.
After Li Shimin saw it, he couldn't help laughing.
Because he knew that this was Songtsen Gampo's delaying strategy.
This is what he said, and it was intentional.
He was extremely arrogant the day before and took good care of himself, but now he is violently ill and no one will believe him.
It seems impossible to get Songtsen Gampo to Chang'an.
But Li Shimin said: "Since Songtsan Gambo doesn't want to come, then forget it, but the compensation must be negotiated! One hundred thousand taels of gold, plus precious herbs. It doesn't take too much!"
Li Shimin's words almost made people choke to death.
Isn't that much?
Even if you empty out Tubo's family fortune, you probably won't be able to get that much money.
But they deserved it.
If they didn't do this, they wouldn't be like this.
"Publish my order and withdraw the troops if you pay compensation! If you don't pay compensation, we will fight again until we reach the capital of Tubo."
Helicopters are so powerful now that they feel like they are in an uninhabited land.
No one is its opponent.
Li Min's more powerful weapons have not yet been brought out. If they are brought out, Datang can maintain its first position for at least five hundred years.
But once this kind of weapon is released, it will definitely flow into the market.
Therefore, Li Min would not use such a weapon unless absolutely necessary.
Because he was afraid that he would not be able to control it at that time, he should let Datang develop for a while longer while using cold weapons.
If it really doesn't work, he will definitely use thermal weapons.
The matter of Songtsen Gampo was finally settled after seven days.
This has never happened before.
It is impossible for a battle to last more than a month.
But now it only takes one day to get it done, and the remaining six days are spent discussing compensation.
In the future, I am afraid no one will dare to disobey Datang.
