Chapter 1673: Sudden military report, Tubo troops send troops
With Shen Tang's control over these various troops, I'm afraid this is just the case. It's also a case without a head. Don't expect anyone to testify for him.
Moreover, the emperor would easily punish a commander who led an army outside?
Even if you really have doubts, you can only look for opportunities later and wait until Shen Tang is transferred.
But by then, grass will grow on your grave, so what’s the use?
He was afraid...
Wen Chao sneered. This old master simply didn't know what to say. If that day comes, Shen Tang won't need to do it at all. One of these tens of thousands of troops can handle this matter at will.
"Master Chen, please!"
Wen Chao sneered, and then some soldiers came forward and directly 'escorted' Chen Junqing away.
Shen Tang didn't care about this scene. Now he is no longer the Shen Tang who was just a fledgling without any foundation. With his current achievements, unless it was a rebellion, how could Zhao Shen punish him easily unless he had lost his mind? ?
Without Chen Junqing's interference, the military once again returned to its former peace.
However, just a few days later, a military report arrived, which made Shen Tang somewhat stunned.
This military report came from Jishi Prefecture and was reported by Shao Hongyuan. Just half a month ago, Tan Ma found out that a large number of Tibetan soldiers and horses gathered in Huangzhou, Langzhou, and Xige City.
At present, the number of soldiers and horses detected has reached about 30,000, and a small group of soldiers and horses invaded the Jishi and Hezhou areas, but were repelled by Xin Qiji and Shao Hongyuan.
Huangzhou is adjacent to Hezhou and belongs to Tubo. It is located less than 200 miles northwest of Hezhou. Two hundred miles west of Huangzhou is Langzhou, and more than a hundred miles west of Langzhou is Xige City.
"These Tubo people are trying to fish in troubled waters!"
While reading the military report and the geological survey map on the wall, Shen Tang couldn't help but sneer.
As for the reason, Shen Tang can guess it.
Previously, the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom each had troops and horses to conquer the Tubo border. Although the past two years were mainly to stabilize the areas that had been captured, having two troops and horses there could obviously frighten the Tibetan troops and horses, so that they would not dare to attack. act rashly.
However, as Dangxiang launches troops against the Jin Kingdom, the troops in Tubo will undoubtedly become a lone army. In this case, they can only withdraw the troops first.
With the withdrawal of the Jin soldiers and horses, only one Song Dynasty army was left, which made the Tubo soldiers and horses in some areas ready to move again.
Nowadays, Dangxiang unites the Liao Kingdom to use troops against the Jin Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty also participates. It is not an exaggeration to say that the three parties are bastards.
In this case, the emergence of Tibetan soldiers and horses is likely to become a force that breaks the balance.
As a result, no matter which party wants to win over them, they will all benefit.
However, things changed somewhat from their expectations. The Xia Liao troops who were supposed to occupy Lintao Road suddenly became the Song Dynasty troops.
In this case, the situation becomes a bit subtle!
Judging from the relationship and situation between the countries, the most appropriate thing is to join forces with Xia Liao and go to the land of Jin to plunder.
The second is to join forces with the Jin Kingdom. After all, the Jin Kingdom is powerful. With the long border between Tubo and Dangxiang, Tubo can backstab Dangxiang in any direction at any time to make a profit.
However, now that he wants to join forces with the Kingdom of Jin, Tu Shan Kening's troops have already retreated to the east of Longshan. Even if they join forces, there is no meaning. Instead, they are likely to turn him, a soy sauce, into Xia Liao's. Main opponent.
But if they join forces with Dangxiang, the relationship between Dangxiang and the Song Dynasty is actually a bit delicate now.
The Lintao Road was taken by the Dangxiang people, but it fell into the hands of the Song Dynasty. There were soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty stationed in Jishi Prefecture and Hezhou, but there were still grain teams and even soldiers and horses of Xia Liao in and out of the Jingyuguan area.
Could it be that the Song Dynasty and the Dangxiang people have completely joined forces?
When did the two countries have such trust?
Moreover, if this is the case, if they take action now, it is likely to cause a double blow from Da Song and Dang Xiang...
The commander-in-chief of Tubo decided to send troops to Huangzhou first to see the situation. If that didn't work, he sent troops to test the reaction of the Song Dynasty and the Dangxiang people.
Ever since, there was this military report in Shen Tang's hands.
"Commander, I would like to lead the troops to join General Shao and General Xin!"
"Commander, I am finally willing to go..."
Wen Chao, Bi Zaiyu and others all stood up to ask for a fight!
Shen Tang thought for a long time, and then said, "It is not appropriate for you to go to this battle!"
After a pause, he said again, "I will go in person!"
"Commander, they are just some Tibetan soldiers and horses, how can they be worthy of the commander's action?
Moreover, the war between Dangxiang and the Kingdom of Jin is now at its most critical period. If the commander-in-chief is not here to take charge, how can we feel at ease!"
"In addition, although the Dangxiang people have already expressed their surrender before, now that Tubo has sent troops, they may not have any second thoughts."
"The commander-in-chief is here to take charge of the overall situation, and the general and others will go to help in the battle! Although Jishi Prefecture and Hezhou Prefecture do not have many soldiers and horses, there are two generals, Shao Hongyuan and Xin Qiji, who have elite soldiers and horses under their command. Naturally, they will not let Tubo People took advantage."
Shen Tang waved his hand, "Now the situation between the Jin Kingdom and Xia Liao soldiers and horses has been settled, and both sides have no retreat. Therefore, even in the worst case scenario, as long as the war between them does not end, no one will easily attack them. We take action.
Moreover, Zhang Hua is a smart man, so he naturally knows what to do."
"The arrival of Tibet this time is not a good sign. The longer the time goes by, the easier it will be to get distracted.
Therefore, it is best to use thunderous means to teach Tubo a bloody lesson so that they will not dare to send troops easily again, so as to ensure that we will not be attacked from both sides."
"Shao Hongyuan, Xin Qiji, and Bian Xijin are all powerful generals in the world, but if I don't go, it will inevitably cause subordinate problems and delay the war! As for you leading your troops, I'm afraid you can only stabilize the situation and completely defeat the Tubo army. But it’s hard for the horse!”
After hearing this, everyone nodded! They went to help the battle at most, but if Shen Tang is not around, how the three armies in the west will cooperate is a big problem.
"We don't need many soldiers and horses to go here. We will meet up with five thousand elite cavalry and set off with my commander tomorrow! Wen Chao, for the time being, all the remaining soldiers and horses will be transferred to your command and you will be in command. However, the most important thing about you is It is to stabilize the situation on Lintao Road. As long as the situation between the Jin Kingdom and Xia Liao does not change drastically, our soldiers and horses should not easily intervene."
"If Xia Liao troops really attack after I leave, you can counterattack appropriately.
If the enemy force is strong, you can abandon Lintao Prefecture and go south to join the division Ying! You two have forty or fifty thousand troops. Even if all the party's troops attack, it will not be difficult to defend. "
