Chapter 666: The reason for the war, the commander is confused
Within the city of Jiading Prefecture, this place has long been the headquarters of the Tibetan army.
The originally glorious government office also became the temporary residence of Dawa Tata, the commander-in-chief of Tubo!
This time, the reason why Tubo attacked the Song Dynasty was actually a genuine test!
The Song Dynasty had been weak for many years, and Tubo had long been determined to occupy this colorful world.
However, the various tribes in Tubo are each in their own way, and Zanpu cannot unite the entire Tubo into one.
In addition, a Jin Kingdom that was eyeing the country with eager eyes was enough to make Tubo feel afraid.
Although they have not officially fought against the Jin Kingdom, they also know how powerful the Jin Kingdom is. If the invasion of the Song Dynasty makes them hostile to the Jin Kingdom, this is not the result that Tubo wants.
And just two years ago, a new Zamp took over! Although this Zamp is young, his abilities are extraordinary.
Winning over several top large tribes to establish the Council of Elders gave them enough benefits, and then started to intimidate and conquer other tribes.
It took just over a year for Tubo, which was originally divided, to become one.
After regaining most of the tribes, Zampu selected some young people from those small tribes and granted them official positions and rights.
Under Zamp's control, the established large tribes and these small tribes formed two oppositions, but Zamp became the mediator.
The most important thing is that Zamp took advantage of the competition between these two parties to create an army of his own.
This army has nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. Although it is not enough to wipe out the entire Tubo region, it is enough if it is used only as a deterrent.
Two years passed in a hurry, and the power of the entire Tubo gradually came into the hands of Zampu. The battles among other tribes also changed from disorderly to Zampu's deliberate action!
In short, Tubo, which was originally scattered, formed a huge unity.
The ambitious Zanpu was naturally not willing to cower on the plateau. For Tubo, the territory of the Song Dynasty adjacent to them was a prosperous world of flowers and flowers, and it was something they had longed for for a long time.
Tubo has always paid close attention to the war between Song and Jin, in order to see how many trump cards the Song Dynasty had.
The final result surprised the Tubo people because the Song Dynasty, which had always been weak, actually gained the upper hand and even directly asked the Jin Kingdom to withdraw its troops to end the war.
However, this did not make Tubo fear the Song Dynasty, but instead made them more excited.
Because they have clearly seen all the trump cards of the Song Dynasty. With the current background of the Song Dynasty, it is extremely difficult to gather more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in a short period of time.
During the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun initially had more than 100,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of auxiliary troops under his command! This was all the troops and horses that the Song Dynasty court could produce at that time.
As for the tens of thousands of troops and horses that were later added, they were actually local troops mobilized by Zhang Jun.
In the war with the Jin Kingdom, more than 100,000 troops and horses were naturally insufficient.
Therefore, after Zhang Jun secretly discussed with Zhao Shen, he ordered some state governments to mobilize local young and strong soldiers to form temporary soldiers to garrison, but the original soldiers were transferred to the front line by Zhang Jun.
All these methods were seen by Tubo spies, so Tubo knew that the Song Dynasty would not be able to mobilize many troops in a short period of time.
What's more, Chengdu is as far away from Lin'an as a mountain, so Lin'an doesn't know how long it will take to come up with countermeasures and implement them.
After combining various factors, Tubo Zanpu finally decided to send troops to the Song Dynasty! If Chengdu Fulu could be successfully captured, then Tubo would use Chengdu Fulu as a springboard to continue to attack other state capitals of the Song Dynasty.
If it fails, it won't have much impact.
Because, except for a few of the more than 100,000 troops who went on the expedition this time, most of them were soldiers gathered from other tribes.
Even if these men and horses were seriously injured, it would only weaken the strength of those tribes. For Zamp, this is also a good thing.
However, although these soldiers and horses came from various tribes, these commanders were Zanpu's cronies.
Whether it is Dawa Tata or Sonam Wangdui, they are all rising stars promoted by Zamp in the past two years. They are loyal to Zamp. If this war is left to them, Zamp is naturally very relieved.
.
The war started very smoothly. Dawa Tata led more than 100,000 troops into Chengdu Fulu. The officers and soldiers in Chengdu Fulu were completely vulnerable.
The Tubo people suffered almost no damage, but they occupied many state capitals.
Then, they won over the local tribes and gave them benefits to prepare for the subsequent Song Dynasty counterattack.
Sure enough, with the cooperation of the local tribes, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Shao Hongyuan and later tens of thousands of reinforcements were ambushed and killed by them! However, when Shen Tang led his troops, things began to go wrong.
Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were lost, and even Suolangwangdui was defeated.
Fortunately, Tubo was not without wise men. They knew the nature of the Song people well, so they used a strategy to transfer Shen Tang from Chengdu.
The arrival of Wang Huaixun made the Tubo people's war go smoothly again, and some people even took the initiative to provide them with news about the Song army.
Although Dawa Tata did not find out who was behind this, it seems that it was an internal struggle among the Song people.
Therefore, he took the opportunity to besiege all the main forces of the Song people in one fell swoop. As long as he could defeat the Song reinforcements this time and wipe out the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded, there would be no more wars in Chengdu, and the Song Dynasty would never dare to
Come here easily.
For this reason, he paid a considerable price. Not only did he win over some tribes to send troops, but he also promised many benefits to the tribes in the Western Mountains and Rivers.
Originally, everything was according to his plan, but in the past few days, accidents have occurred one after another!
The first surprise was that reinforcements from the Song Dynasty arrived much earlier than he expected.
He knew the troops and horses of Chengdu Prefecture very well. The Song people wanted to rescue them, but the troops and horses of Chengdu Prefecture were simply not enough.
However, it would take at least twenty days or even a month to dispatch troops and horses from other places.
By then, the besieged soldiers and horses have already become his possession!
However, in just ten days, reinforcements from the Song Dynasty had arrived!
The second is the number of reinforcements from the Song Dynasty. First, 20,000 soldiers and horses appeared in Meizhou, and then, 40,000 soldiers and horses appeared in Rongjing. Now, a Song army has quietly appeared in Shiyang?
Looking at the news that just came in front of him, Dawa Tata fell into deep thought! Where did the Song Dynasty conjure so many soldiers and horses?
It can never fall from the sky.
Moreover, these soldiers and horses suddenly appeared, why didn't I get any reply?
Could it be that all his detective horses have become blind?
