Songtsen Gampo looked at the corpses piled up at the entrance of Dafeichuan, and his expression was a bit solemn.
Although he asked Xiangxiong cavalry to pursue the remnants of Tuyuhun, he was somewhat of a use of Xiangxiong to test the forces of the army stationed in Qinghai, the Tang army stationed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was too strong.
After only half a day, Xiangxiong's talented elite Jinpeng cavalry became history, and even their bodies were forged into Jingguan to intimidate everyone.
"Zanpu, you can't go there anymore. The Tang army built Jingguan here to warn the people around you to use this as the boundary, which is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" Lu Dongzan said solemnly to Songzan Gampo.
"The Tang Dynasty is so arrogant!" Songzangan preached, "If they don't fight with the Tang Dynasty, they will clearly know that I, Tubo, cannot be humiliated easily, the Tang Dynasty will probably not marry the princess to me easily!"
"Zanpu, we expelled the Tuyuhun people and let the Tang people see our strength. We can wait a moment!"
Lu Dong praised, "Compared with this, Xiangxiong Jinpeng cavalry was destroyed here, and Tsuzuo had almost no power to show off.
After we annex and digest it, we will gather the power of the entire plateau next year or the year after, and let the people of the Tang Dynasty know that we, Tubo, are qualified to be the princess."
In this world, for the empire, the military soul is the standard, and the military soul of the Tang Dynasty is the Xuanjia Army.
Under the empire is the kingdom, and there are basically two talented war divisions. Even if there is not now, it will still be there when the fight begins, such as Tuyuhun's Blood Knight.
Under the kingdom, some emerging forces or weak kingdoms basically rely on talented elites to support the scene.
If such an elite force is wiped out, with the size of a small country, if you want to gather such an experienced and powerful battle unit, it will be at least five years and there will be a suitable battlefield to temper it.
It can be said that although Xiangxiong was originally weak, at least he still maintained the dignity of a small kingdom.
But this elite Xiangxiong was defeated and killed by Xue Rengui, and after being cast into Jingguan, he basically lost his last resistance!
"Listen to what the Grand Secretary said, when I annex Xiangxiong, I will summon 400,000 troops and ask the Tang army to hand over the princess obediently!"
Songtsen Gampo was also very passionate and waved his hand to resolve Xiangxiong, the last force on the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
To be honest, the original Qinghai-Tibet Plateau should have been distributed in three parties, probably the booming Tubo, the twilight Tuyuhun, and the aging Xiangxiong.
During this period of Tubo, it was also considered a morale of rising national destiny. Not only was the leader Songtsen Gampo, who ascended the throne at the age of twelve and completely took power at the age of 15, and pushed all the hostile forces within Tubo.
In the external environment, Tuyuhun, which was originally a threat to Tubo, had some mistakes. He insisted on robbing Liangzhou and was wiped out by Li Jing, and even Murong Fushun's gray was promoted.
Now Xiangxiong’s last little family fortune was completely ruined by Xue Rengui and the soldiers of the Xuefu.
It can be said that the Tang Dynasty interpreted what the Tubo father is.
Therefore, Songtsen Gampo was obsessed with the princess of the Tang Dynasty and was rushing to be a son-in-law for Li Shimin.
Of course, Songtsen Gampo now plans to take this opportunity to completely unify the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Then he took the army to ask Li Shimin to hand over his daughter because Songtsen Gampo wanted Princess Shang.
As I said, can a country be recognized by neighboring countries in the entire area around the Tang Dynasty? Either you rely on your own strength to last for a hundred years. Everyone thinks you are a character, at least you have a strong life. Or you are the princess of the Tang Dynasty.
Get tickets to the Tang Dynasty’s tribute system.
In this era, for the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty, Princess Shang was not because the Tang Dynasty had to make aggrieved and conscientious, and it was a bit similar to the modern developing countries who wanted to enter WTO and get the most favorable national treatment for transactions with the Tang Dynasty.
They can only use Princess Shang to indicate that you are my father. Can I join your trading system?
The big reason why a foreign princess was not married to the emperor was to reduce interference factors during inheritance.
For example, Li Shimin said that he could decide at will any time when he wanted to inherit the throne.
But if he took a princess from the Western Turks and gave birth to a son, then when he wanted to establish a prince, the Western Turks directly sent 200,000 troops to the border, saying that I will not interfere in your internal affairs, but I will give you the Western Turks a chance to
The Turkic prince supports the scene.
But everyone knows that as long as the prince with Western Turkic blood is not established, he will fight directly, and what should Li Shimin do?
Of course, Li Shimin was wise and powerful, and he led the Xuanjia Army to kill all the Western Turks.
But what if it weren't for Li Shimin, but other ordinary emperors? Then can we withstand the blackmail from the Western Turks?
As long as you can't bear it, you will inevitably retreat step by step, for fear that you can only watch this child of alien blood come to power in the end.
Therefore, in ancient China, they would rather choose to remotely control those foreign races through marriage, and rarely marry foreign princesses.
After all, the current royal heritage itself is a bad enough thing, and there is really no need to add variables.
Therefore, it is naturally unfortunate for individuals to marry the princess, and the peace between the two countries needs to be carried on the delicate shoulders of a woman.
But for the collective, this is the lowest cost way for the wise men of this era to ensure the stability of the frontier.
Of course, as a later generation, it can be said that the attitude of the Tang Dynasty and relatives was too weak.
If I had changed myself, I would have slaughtered all the foreign races around me and shouted loudly, not cede the land, not marry, not pay tribute, not submit to the emperor, the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country - and then he will be hanged on the crooked tree
It's right.
The reality is that the level of social productivity does not allow China to dispatch its troops to border areas within three months.
To be honest, let alone the border areas of a country. Even in a city, as long as the government loses its management strength, gang-like non-governmental organizations will be born in the cracks of the city to fill the gap, let alone the border areas of the country.
Unless the westward movement is carried out like the United States, directly killing the local people, and occupying the local area to live and produce, similar aliens will soon be reborn due to social inertia in areas beyond the reach of central forces.
Maybe they changed their names, but their social system will be passed down by inertia and continue to become a new uneasy factor in the dynasty.
Therefore, as far as the productivity of the Tang Dynasty was concerned, maintaining the stability of the border areas through marriage was the best way to meet the productivity at that time.
Although this matter seems awkward from the perspective of future generations, in reality, if you don’t follow the path of closure, then this matter is inevitable.
If you don't do this, you will be self-harming and lose a trump card that can deal with aliens.
But it will be different after taking the road of closure. Out of the infinite pursuit of land, even if I call you grandpa now and endure it for a moment, it is also for the sake of calling you grandson in the future, and even swallowing you and the bones.
.
Like the Qin Tunyiqu during the Warring States Period, this was almost the same operation. A force that was enough to destroy the Qin Dynasty was eaten by the Great Qin snake.
After all, it is still the limit of productivity level. Not to mention that like now, it only takes twenty-four hours to place the army in any corner of the country. Even if the army can reach the current position of the rebels in just one month, it is basically
No areas within this range need to maintain local stability through female and kinship.
At this moment, Xue Rengui saw that the Tubo army did not step into the territory where he had built Jingguan, but chose to retreat slowly. He also felt relieved and arranged a team of people to be responsible for the investigation, and then brought the injured and dead soldiers with them.
Retreat to Xihai County.
When he returned to Xihai County, Wang Xuance immediately approached Xue Rengui and asked Xue Rengui in a row: "Have you encountered an enemy? What's the situation? Do you need help?"
"Speak slowly!" Xue Rengui took a sip of hot wine to warm his body, let out a long breath, and said:
"When Tubo and Xiangxiong attacked the remnants of Tuyuhun, according to the civilians who took out Tuyuhun, all the Tuyuhun tribes south of Dafeichuan were attacked. Those who did not escape here were either captured as slaves.
Or you will die!”
"How are the casualties of the soldiers?" Wang Xuance continued to ask.
"Fortunately, there were about a hundred people who suffered losses, and most of them were minor injuries!" Xue Rengui said, "I will report it as soon as possible and give them enough pensions."
Wang Xuance nodded and said, "I will hand over this official document to Du Bujia. How powerful is the Tubo and Xiangxiong?"
"Although Xiangxiong Cavalry has the talent of the battle division, it seems to be inherited rather than to be fought for by itself.
He fought head-on with the soldiers of the Xuefu, but he collapsed without persisting for a quarter of an hour.
Their ability is to transform the shot arrow into a small Jinpeng, which should be a double attack that combines will and physics.
According to the arrows of the Xuefu soldiers, even if they use shields to block the arrows, there will be a little slight sting!”
"An attack that combines physics and will, wouldn't it hit you in your arms!"
When Wang Xuance heard Xue Rengui's words, he felt relieved and said: "Speaking of it, has the adaptive disassembly been opened?"
"The adaptive talent has been dismantled, and it is derived for equipment adaptation and will adaptation!" Wang Xuance said,
"Let soldiers quickly adapt to various equipment on the battlefield, and their will adaptation to the limit.
Thank you more to Duke Wei. If it weren’t for his military book pointing out the direction, he would have no idea how long it would take to explore if he wanted to get to this point."
"One and two are simple, but two and one have you ever thought about how to return the talent of the split into adaptive itself, so that the adaptive talent can truly be perfect?" Wang Xuance asked Xue Rengui.
"Use my warrior talent as a bridge to re-communicate the two!" Xue Rengui said, "I have awakened my war department talent. It is still easy to use on the battlefield!"
"Hmm?" Wang Xuance was a little surprised when he heard Xue Rengui's words, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully.
A general like Xue Rengui who charges and commands is much easier to awaken the warriors than those who are in charge of the center.
Even in the Tang army, most of the generals who basically charge into the battle, such as Xue Wanche, Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin, etc., have the talent of generals. On the contrary, they are similar to Duke of Defense Li Jing, but they do not see that he has the talent of generals, most of them are direct.
Use military formations.
"What is your talent?" Wang Xuance asked Xue Rengui.
"I call it a concerted effort for the time being!" Xue Rengui said, "As long as everyone is in harmony with their will and seeks victory, the overall organizational strength of the legion will be greatly improved and the legion's combat power will be greatly improved.
But there were noises in the army, and even the morale of the army was dispersed, so my army's talent was no longer effective. It was considered a talent that added icing on the cake!"
Xue Rengui feels that his awakened talent cannot play a role in turning the tables in desperate situations. On the contrary, this talent is more used to fight the tailwind. For an army, it is important to fight the tailwind, but it is more important to fight the headwind.
ah!
"So that's it!" Wang Xuance nodded, "If your talent is like this, then I think you are going to ask for help from behind!"
"Seeking for help?" Xue Rengui was stunned when he heard Wang Xuance's words, and he was a little confused and didn't understand Wang Xuance's words.
"You are not suitable to lead cavalry, but more suitable to lead heavy infantry. Since you need the soldiers to perform stably, you should give the soldiers a sense of security enough to make your performance close to the upper limit, or even the ultimate!" Wang Xuance suggested.
Xue Rengui shook his head when he heard Wang Xuance, saying, "How can heavy infantry compete with the cavalry on this plateau?
Even if we can fight with the cavalry, the only one who can cast heavy armor is the court. We have not made any outstanding achievements, so how could we spend fifty kilograms of iron for each of us!”
To be honest, if the Xuanjia Guard needs fifty kilograms of mutated light armor, the Ministry of Works will definitely find a way to solve it.
But don’t think about my own army in the academic camp stationed on the frontier. I would be grateful that the court could replace the cowhide armor.
"I will write to the King of Wei for this." Wang Xuance said, "The King of Wei has a lot of money, and I think I can always think of a solution!"
"King of Wei? The court cannot allow the King of Wei to cast armor!" Xue Rengui said with a wry smile.
"We are stationed in the border, and we need to discuss with the King of Wei. What the King of Wei can give will definitely give us.
If you don’t give it to us, it means that he really can’t give it to us, so we can just find a way out!
However, at least the King of Wei was right in his judgment. Tubo had already threatened the border of the Tang Dynasty, and this would be our future rival.
So we must do our best to make all preparations!" Wang Xuance couldn't help but sigh, "The King of Wei's eyes are really far away!"
"Do you think Tubo will come again?" Xue Rengui asked back when he heard Wang Xuance's words.
"You have been in the border for so long, don't you know the habits of foreign races on the border?
Anyone who has not been beaten will stop on the border obediently.
They just haven't decided to fight with our Tang Dynasty!"
Wang Xuance affirmed, "If we take it lightly, I am afraid that the people of Tuyuhun will be our future!"
"Then I can't relax. I have to continue training the soldiers first!" Xue Rengui couldn't help but jump up.
"It's not so short that what about the Tuyuhun people who escaped from Tubo?" Wang Xuance asked.
"What do you want to do?" Xue Rengui looked at Wang Xuance in confusion.
Wang Xuance smiled and said, "We must let people in the West Sea know the terribleness of Tubo, and it will be easier to dispatch when fighting with Tubo in the future.
Even with Tubo as a target, we can recruit some of the people in the surrounding tribes to receive our military training.
At least let them understand our military dispatch, otherwise you really want to rely on our few learning soldiers to block the long-planned attack of Tubo!”
"Is this called slaughtering the people and attacking them?"
"No, this is called taking the opportunity!" Wang Xuance replied with great praise. It seems that he has worked hard in private recently and knows how to punish the people and punish them.
