Chapter 2270 If there is no suitable general of the army, the lower officials want to do it themselves
Chapter 2270 If there is no suitable general to lead the army, I would like to recommend myself (please subscribe and vote)
Wang Xuance stared at the serious shopkeeper Qin with his eyes widened in disbelief.
"This, how is this possible? Where did they get the soldiers and horses from? That is Tubo, a plateau hero with more than 200,000 elite soldiers. Even when Tuyuhun was powerful in the past, he was no match for him."
"Royal Lord Bo, calm down. Please calm down first. I will explain to you carefully and you will understand what is going on."
Shopkeeper Qin faced Wang Xuance, who was so shocked that he was speechless, and continued to speak.
Today, Tubo's sphere of influence has shrunk to about one-third of its territory when it was most powerful.
The southern region of Tubo has become the Jinsha Prefecture of the Tang Dynasty, and in the Tibetan area of Tibet, Qiongbo Bangse, the most prestigious person in the Tibetan area, has been enthroned as the king.
The name of the country directly uses Hou Zang as the name of the country, which does not indicate that it is different from the Tubo.
Furthermore, the Xiangxiong Kingdom has also been freed from the Tibetan threat. However, after these years of turmoil when its leader was imprisoned, its strength has also been damaged.
Li Mixia, who suffered humiliation and torture in prison, was originally determined to take revenge, but with the help of the enemy and the disintegration of Tubo.
It made him, who was busy sharpening his knife, seem to have lost the meaning of life and resorted to drinking to drown his sorrows.
After losing the powerful enemy Tubo, the Xiangxiong tribes, which were originally very cohesive when facing a powerful enemy, also had their own thoughts.
Furthermore, the three powerful tribes that had surrendered to Tibet and then atone for their sins with blood and sweat became a small group.
All in all, nowadays, although Datang is not the most powerful on the plateau, all the heroes on the plateau are afraid of Datang, and they have to lick it carefully.
After all, Tubo and Houzang, which are adjacent to Jinsha Prefecture, have become mortal enemies after the split.
Although Hou Zang was inferior to Tubo in strength, it had a wily and scheming leader Qiongbo Bangse.
Tubo is stronger, but unfortunately, the young master is still nursing, and a group of ministers are fighting for power and gain, and their brains are almost knocked out all day long.
And Ren Yaxiang, the magistrate of Jinsha Prefecture, was a veteran with both civil and military skills, and was good at military strategy and governance.
They have always been mediating. According to the strategy formulated by the Yaozhou Governor's Office, there is nothing wrong with small frictions, but large-scale battles are not allowed.
All in all, they were allowed to only use bastard punches until their faces were bloody, and they were not allowed to copy weapons to decide whether to live or die.

Wang Xuance stared blankly at the smug man in front of him, spitting and talking about the Tang Dynasty's brilliant achievements on the plateau, as well as the current division of power on the plateau.
The whole person has a feeling of being in the clouds, like a dream.
With the name of Cheng Sanlang, Wang Xuance had naturally heard of the bad reputation of this Cheng family member. In the past, this notorious Cheng Sanlang.
Although it is unclear how good his military strategy is, he has made great achievements in governing those barbarian lands, especially the central and southern areas of Jiannan Road in the Tang Dynasty.
It was managed in an orderly manner by the Yao Mozi trio headed by Cheng Sanlang, and tax revenue increased significantly.
Moreover, it is said that this Cheng Sanlang was a master of military training, and the military training methods he compiled were highly praised by the military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
Although he had commanded several battles in the central and southern areas of Jiannan Road, in Wang Xuance's eyes, he was just a small-scale fight that did not deserve to be promoted.
The only amazing thing is that Cheng Sanlang led a group of ruthless soldiers to successfully attack Jianchuan City, which had been occupied by Tibet for many years.
In one fell swoop, Tubo's plan to peek into the central and southern Jiannan Road of the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and peace was restored to the Jiannan Road of the Tang Dynasty.
But they never expected that this time, the trio of Yao Mozi, who were originally responsible for containing any demons, would once again refresh Wang Xuance, who was very confident in his military strategy.
He never expected that Cheng Sanlang would achieve eye-poppingly perfect results again and again.
Shengsheng led a group of soldiers and stabbed Tubo, the overlord of the plateau, severely, cutting off a piece of his flesh.
Not only did he occupy the entire southern part of Tubo, but Cheng Sanlang also attacked thousands of miles away and rescued the leader of Xiangxiong Kingdom from the hands of the Tubo people.
Shopkeeper Qin, who was so thirsty after talking, took a big sip of tea, and then said proudly to Wang Xuance, whose face was stiff with shock.
"...Do you know how Songtsen Gampo, the leader of the Tubo Kingdom, and his son Gongri Gongtsen died?"
"Wang really doesn't know this... If you hadn't said it, Wang wouldn't have known that the young Tubo hero was dead."
"Hehe, let me tell you, it was the infamous Cheng Sanlang who made me angry to death."
"...Really or not?" Wang Xuance looked at the Qin family member who was smiling extremely slyly and furtively.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe it, wait until you get to the plateau and ask anyone to find out whether Qin is lying."
"But having said that, Cheng Sanlang of our Tang Dynasty is really the most capable of tormenting people. Anyone who can be tormented by him like this and not be angry to death is considered to be lucky..."
After telling all the gossip about Cheng Sanlang, Wang Xuance calmed down a little and thought about it seriously for a long time.
Considering that the military strength of the Nannibala Kingdom was definitely not that good, now that the Tang Dynasty had an absolute advantage on the plateau, Wang Xuance had a bold idea.
He decided to go straight to the plateau and first go see Ren Zhizhou, the magistrate of Jinsha Prefecture, and ask him to send troops to rescue the envoy and other members of the envoy.

When Ren Yaxiang was in the official residence of Chawarong City, he met the royal lord Bo who had finally arrived here to ask for help after going through many hardships and dangers.
Ren Yaxiang really had the urge to personally raise his troops and fight to the middle of Tianzhu, rescue the envoys of the Tang Dynasty and the members of the envoys, and severely punish the culprits.
"… Please also ask Ren Zhizhou to send troops quickly to rescue Ambassador Li."
"Your Highness, Bo, please get up quickly. Come on, come on. Please sit down for a moment while I think about it..."
Ren Yaxiang smacked his mouth and felt quite sad. It wasn't that he didn't want to save him, but that he really didn't have many soldiers under his command.
Of the more than 30,000 Zhaozhi coalition troops before, now only 2,000 elites are left here, and in addition, there are more than 10,000 rebel troops recruited from Tubo slaves.
Nowadays, there are only three thousand people left in the army.
After all, this is just a state, not a governor's mansion, and he can leave five thousand soldiers and horses.
This is because Jinsha Prefecture is a newly occupied territory and needs soldiers and horses to guard and suppress it. It also needs to be on guard against the prying eyes of the heroes from the plateau.
"You said that Zhongtianzhu is the strongest among all the countries in Tianzhu, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."
"As for our Jinsha Prefecture, we only have five thousand soldiers and horses. It is my duty to lead the troops to maintain the security of Jinsha Prefecture."
"In fact, there are not many troops and horses that can be mobilized. What's more, even if we mobilize the troops south, I will definitely not be able to leave Jinsha Prefecture. As for the generals in the army, if they are brave enough, I am afraid that if I want them to command an army,
yes……"
"If I am appointed as magistrate of a state and there is no suitable general to lead the army, I would like to recommend myself."
