Chapter 337 The Great War Breaks Out

When coming out of the Holy City, Lu Dongzan went to see the family fortune of the Tubo Dynasty. The war had only been fought for a few months, and there was not much left in the Tubo Dynasty. If there was no new income, they might not be able to survive.

If you can't hold on, no matter whether you are a central government or a local government, if your pockets are empty, don't expect anyone to work for you.

In normal times, those chieftains who submit to the central power are good, but at critical moments, for the continuation of the central power, you should contribute your family property, wife, children, and children.

When Lu Dongzan proposed this, Songtsan Gambo refused. After all, Songtsan Gambo wanted the same reputation as Li Shimin, and he couldn't do such a thing as robbing his subordinates. However, Lu Dongzan put all the situations into perspective.

Now that we've laid it out, either you go and rob these chieftains, or we can't even come up with next month's military pay.

In the helpless situation, Songtsen Gampo could only agree with Lu Dongzan's idea. If Lu Dongzan knew that Li Xiang was behind the scenes, he would not take this tactic to kill him. Such a tactic could only be

Use it once in a critical moment, but if used for a long time, it will have a devastating impact on the entire empire.

What he wants to do now is to extinguish all the wars on the entire plateau before Li Xiang comes and return everything to zero, so that Li Xiang can see a powerful Tubo.

Unfortunately, Li Xiang had known about the situation on the plateau for a long time. Everything he did accelerated Li Xiang's plan and put the entire Tubo into decline.

The battle on the second day came quickly. The Tubo Central Army broke through the rebel chieftain's defense line like a powerful force. All the thousands of troops of the rebel chieftain on the front line were killed, and the remaining troops also withdrew to the second line.

The second line of defense, Lu Dongzan got off to a good start immediately after returning to Tubo.

Lu Dongzan did not let anyone rest, but immediately started the second round of attack. Even if he had to travel a long distance, he had to take this opportunity to break into the camp of the rebel chieftains. He could not let them continue to establish here and in the Tang Dynasty.

Personnel on their way into Tibet.

After two consecutive days of defeat, Chief Maiqi no longer had a smile on his face. Although he had Li Xiang's support, Li Xiang's support was only long-term. If he could not withstand the attack now, then Li Xiang would probably

Turn around and leave.

So Chieftain Maiqi and several other chieftains came to the battlefield in person and took out all the people they had under the control. They managed to hold the second line of defense. Lu Dongzan took the lead on the battlefield, but the rebels had no choice but to rebel.

The chieftains are not given for free, and their private soldiers are also extremely powerful.

The two sides fought hard on the second line of defense. Both sides lost thousands of men and horses in one day. Chieftain Mai Qi had already pulled up all the people who could fight.

Li Xiang and his party have been watching the fire from across the bank. A rebellion of this scale occurred in Tubo, and the losses in one day were as high as several thousand people. If such a war can last for half a month, then Li Xiang can go home immediately. Tubo

Tens of thousands of troops were lost in one fell swoop, and it would not be possible to slow down this situation for at least a few years. However, the leaders of both sides were still calm and stopped on the third day. They also knew that they would continue to fight like this.

In a war, no one on either side can win.

Chief Maiqi made a decision in the process and sent all the things Li Xiang brought to Chief Ronggong and Chief Laxuepa, and asked Li Xiang to meet with several other chieftains. Originally, Li Xiang

Xiang doesn't want to come to the stage, but the war situation is sluggish now. If Li Xiang doesn't come forward, it will be difficult to bring confidence to the chieftains.

With the support of various operations, the chieftains of Laxueba and Ronggong also came with their eight thousand troops. A new force came to the rebel chieftains, and the chieftains of each family breathed a sigh of relief.

They received a large amount of money from Li Xiang. Although they had suffered a lot in the past few days, they did not lose confidence.

On the other hand, the Tubo Central Army originally planned to defeat the rebel army within three days, but now five days have passed, and both sides are still anxious here. Lu Dongzan could only order the troops from the Holy City to go back first.

, before the rebel army is dealt with, if you rob the chieftains around the holy city, it is estimated that the troops on the front line will mutiny immediately.

During this period, Chief Maiqi also talked to Li Xiang several times, hoping that Li Xiang could give them more support, but Li Xiang had already seen it at this time. After adding two more chieftains, your strength can also withstand it.

Damn it, if we continue to support you, then you are very likely to overwhelm the central government of Tibet. That is definitely not what Li Xiang wants to see. Let the strength of both of you be almost the same and continue to fight. This is a good way to weaken you.

.

So on the one hand, Li Xiang pretended to write the letter, and on the other hand, he also shied away from the long journey. It would just take it anyway. Chief Maiqi also knew that it would take more than ten days to send the letter from here to Chang'an, even with the best carrier pigeon.

One month has passed since I flew back.

In this month's time, we still don't know what will happen.

"Master, we have heard clearly that the army on the border of Tuyuhun has also begun to retreat."

That night while Li Xiang was studying, Long San came back from outside. Their people on the road sent back news that the army at Tuyuhun and the Tibetan border had begun to retreat, probably after receiving orders from Lu Dongzan.

"Is Lu Dongzan crazy?"

This was Li Xiang's reaction. In order to quell the rebellion, Lu Dongzan has already brought out all the troops he can. In addition to the more than 10,000 people defending the Holy City, there are other troops that cannot be moved. Now

They gathered everyone who could move, hoping to wipe out the chieftain's army in one fell swoop.

"You immediately send a message to Tuyuhun and ask Tuyuhun to take some actions. You will never be able to bring that army back."

Li Xiang also immediately made arrangements. If the frontier army was allowed to come back, Lu Dongzan's strength would greatly increase. At least the current Maiqi Chieftain would not be able to hold on. This was against Li Xiang's intention.

.

Chieftain Maiqi has already contacted new allies. Before the new allies agree, if the frontier army comes back, Chieftain Maiqi and his allies will not be able to stop them. They are like wolves and tigers on the border.

Army, extremely powerful in combat.

The scale is getting bigger and bigger, more and more people are participating, and Li Xiang's mood is getting better and better. This means that after this war, Tubo's decline will be inevitable...
