"Fang Shijun, the frontier troops in Luo City suffered heavy casualties due to the previous battle to defend the city. Even if we want to send troops, I am afraid that we can only mobilize two thousand people at most.
I wonder how many people can be mobilized here in the small town? If we want to conquer Shazhou, we can't do it without cavalry, let alone less soldiers and horses."
Guo Ziyi frowned slightly and said, although he didn't say it too directly, it was obvious that he was not willing to lead troops to Guazhou.
In fact, everyone understood what Fang Chongyong meant. Shazhou sent troops to fight from west to east, and Ganzhou Wang Zhongsi led troops to fight from east to west. They attacked from both sides, making it impossible for the Tubo people to look at each other.
It is very possible to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!
However, Fang Chongyong's proposal looks beautiful, but it ignores an issue that is easily ignored on the battlefield.
Victory and battle losses are two interrelated but not entirely consistent topics.
When a great victory is achieved, some soldiers or even generals in the army may not survive.
When a big defeat occurs, a soldier or even a general in the army may not die.
The victory of the Tang Dynasty in the war with Tubo and whether the generals present can return to Shazhou safely are two completely different issues!
Shi Fenghong ran all the way, rushed out of the study, and shouted to Zhang Guangsheng, he was so humble!
The advantage of the Tubo people is that we, China and France, can attack the Hexi Corridor from the lowlands in the south and up the river anytime and anywhere. However, Shazhou has no way to climb the mountains and fight back. The initiative on that battlefield is one-way.
As long as the Tibetans are still leaving, Brother Ji will never have real peace."
Zhang Guangsheng asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"The Eighth Army is exhausted and needs to be repaired. Now is not a bad time to send troops. But Ji Ge is sitting on nothing. He suggested asking the Anxi Governor for help and borrowing troops. As long as there are less than 10,000 fresh troops, it is possible to counterattack the Tibetans.
Zhang Guangsheng, with red eyes, was walking around outside the government office's study room, scratching his hair, like a furious wild beast, calm and furious but still able to do something.
What if Tubo is a "relative" of Xiao Tang? In order to fight Xiao Tang to no avail, he had to cut off one of his arms to give Xiao Tang time to recover his health.
"Let's go and take you to see it!"
Is it a small local family in Jige, a border garrison like the Doulu Army, or my future father-in-law Guo Ziyi?
"It's not like you advance when the enemy retreats, harass when the enemy is stationed, attack when the enemy is tired, and pursue when the enemy advances. Just attract the Tibetan troops to the western front line of Guazhou and let us reinforce Suzhou."
Zhang Guangsheng slumped down behind the desk and said to Wang Zhongsi, "Come here and give me a good squeeze on your shoulders!"
If this army returns to Guazhou and joins the main force of the Tibetan army, I'm afraid..."
Shi Fenghong was stunned, and then stood up. Now that the Hexi Corridor is blocked by the Tubo people, what kind of reinforcements are there! Even the local small households are willing to go out!
Now the problem is just to convince the lieutenants and soldiers to support it, and once that is solved, I think this battle cannot be attempted."
Zhang Guangsheng's pupils suddenly shrank. The thing behind his eyes was very common among the Tubo army!
It was captured from this Tibetan army. It is only one piece. Today I brought one to open the envoy's eyes."
The shortcomings are the same as those of casting fake money. Although the ancients were superstitious, they were fools. Similar routines can only play a supporting role. Words like blessings from ghosts and gods cannot be used to boost morale. It is childish to use them as an argument for sending troops.
.
After a while, just as Shi Fenghong was enjoying Wang Zhongsi's professional massage and was so comfortable that she almost hummed, a quiet cheer suddenly came from the study! Although the sound was distant, it continued intermittently!
Wang Zhongsi leaned on the door of the study room, folded his arms, looked at the manic Zhang Guangsheng, and sighed helplessly and asked: "Since he was nicknamed Qilinzi, everything seems to be going well. Do you think it is because of his virtue?"
Is it a coordination, so there are no such bad things?"
If you want to convince an army that doesn't want to go out, take risks for the sake of the "overall situation". It's worthwhile and necessary, but it's embarrassing.
Wang Zhongsi's words sent Zhang Guangsheng into a critical blow.
Shi Fenghong just wanted to scold her, but then she remembered that Wang Zhongsi had taken good care of her since they met. There was really no need to yell at you.
Zhang Guangsheng, who has not studied much about the Tubo people, may naturally know who On Qinling is.
In the past, Hu merchants from the Western Regions would come to Jige, and supplies from Guanzhong would also come to Jige. You may not even be able to get through this year. But if you take advantage of the new defeat of the Tibetan army and your own supplies are not in short supply, soldiers and generals
When morale is low, take the initiative to fight Brother Ji and survive in death.
The famous Tubo general who was so fierce that Shazhou was frightened at the time, could not escape the fate of political struggle. He was falsely accused of rebellion and died at the hands of Tubo Zampu. His tactics were no different from those of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Zhang Guangsheng sighed and said.
Regarding the eight characters of Qinling, during the Wu and Zhou Dynasties, they were the eight characters that could be mentioned in Xiaoshazhou. There were several famous generals in Shazhou, and they all became the background of that young Tubo general. Even Xue Rengui was in Xiaoshazhou.
Feichuan collapsed.
As the commander of the "guest army", I don't have anything to say, and it's not appropriate for me to say it.
Fang Chongyong smiled slightly and took out a flag from his pocket. The area was not small.
Seeing Fang Chongyong's firm face, I added:
"What they said doesn't make sense. Let's just think about it when you go back. If you don't have any ideas, we can discuss it privately with you and then let it go."
Routine 8: Delaying the punishment after cashing in will not boost morale, but it will not have the opposite effect. The soldiers will be willing to go out and fight after receiving the rewards later.
"He should be busy eating now. Thinking about what he doesn't have is actually of no use at all. Does he often say that Xiao Tang is not his? Shi Feng is just trying to calm down. Why is he just trying to calm down?"
From whose standpoint did Zhang Guangsheng raise that issue?
I remember that in the history books of later generations, there seemed to be no mention of that battle, just as it is recorded here that Yang Yuhuan became Yang Guifei, but now Yang Yuhuan has not yet died.
"I understand. In fact, fewer soldiers are more important than better ones. I thought that seven thousand cavalry would be enough. There are fewer soldiers and horses, and the baggage will be reduced. You can succeed in the surprise attack on Guazhou and cut off the Tibetan people's food routes.
"The envoy will definitely attack, but the chance of victory may be smaller than expected. The Tibetan army is not divided, and there are no factions within it. Sectarian disputes may be just one of them.
Fang Chongyong, who has been in the army for seventy years, understands very well what "a thousand troops are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find". The same army, commanded by the same general, may have vastly different combat effectiveness.
He is also a medical practitioner, so does he know that serious illnesses can be cured into minor ones?
Let’s see what Fang Shijun can do.
The Bon "swastika" I saw in Tibet in later generations was "borrowed" from before Bon came to merge with Buddhism. It can be regarded as a compromise reached in competition, or it is called "detailed aesthetics"
Gradually unified.
The man spoke the truth.
Fang Chongyong nodded slightly and said goodbye. I feel that Zhang Guangsheng's strategy still has little basis for it, and it is not a blind attack. However, fighting is not a matter of one person. It is a difficult thing for so few people to work together.
.
If Wang Zhongsi, who was the governor of Hexi Province, personally ordered this to be done, then the local Shazhou border generals would naturally have to comply, otherwise it would be a rebellion. But now, this issue was raised by Fang Chongyong, the governor of Shazhou, and everyone had no hesitation
Already.
There is only one thing that I am worried about. This is not the Tibetan army that besieged Luocheng. They are brave and brave as usual. Its general is very good at using troops. You have mobilized almost all the power of Luocheng. It is still embarrassing that the right branch is blocking the enemy with the left.
Therefore, it is very difficult to understand the situation on the other side where death is a saving grace. The struggle between Buddhism and Bonism in Tubo has not yet turned cold and has retreated, affecting the battlefield.
Convincing yourself to die, or even convincing your whole family to die together, was rarely a difficult task in the feudal era when human life was at stake.
Everything was the same as the impression outside his memory, which made Zhang Guangsheng always trembling and walking on thin ice.
Zhang Guangsheng also regained his energy instantly and followed Anaye out of the study in small steps.
Zhang Guangsheng waved his sleeves helplessly. Although his expression remained intense, the depression in his heart was indescribable.
I shook my head and sighed, feeling suppressed in my heart. I wished I had to put a rope around the necks of the Doulu Army soldiers and drag us out to fight!
"he……"
As long as the Tibetans retreat, the back line will inevitably loosen. You fight slowly and retreat slowly, and just go back to Shifeng and defend. In fact, you do not need to fight the Tibetans head-on."
For eight days in a row, Zhang Guangsheng was thinking hard about how to unite people's hearts. I came up with a few bad tricks.
I carefully took the flag, put it in my hand and looked at it, and then sighed heavily, finally understanding why the Tibetan army besieging Luocheng saved the so-called "friendly troops" from death.
"That's wrong, it's not reinforcements! Moreover, we also pursued the Tibetan army hundreds of miles away, and we are sure to win!"
Before all the generals left, Fang Chongyong stayed alone and went to the study room in the front courtyard of the government office with Shi Fenghong, where the seven of them discussed secrets.
In the next battle, no matter whether it was a big city or a small city, the defenders had no military exploits, which was enough for us to enjoy the victory. Since we have obtained all the military exploits, why should we attack in one fell swoop? We must have won, but it was only the aftermath.
All the efforts were in vain, and even Brother Ji, who had not yet turned the corner, had no success.
What Shi Fenghong saw was that Shi Fenghong stared at me with deep and dim eyes, which turned into a long sigh.
The Tubo people will definitely enter and leave the Hexi Corridor. The only question is: when and how.
Routine 1: Cast a batch of fake coins, the front and back are the same, and then throw the fake coins behind the small army for divination. If all the coins are the same, then the special soldiers in the army will think that we have magical powers.
, the battle is victorious.
"Everyone, Shi Feng can survive alone and relies entirely on supplies from the Central Plains. Now that the Tubo people have cut off the trade routes, they have also cut off Ji Ge's way of survival.
Of course, the shortcomings are also obvious. Once that kind of routine is exposed (almost certain), the blow to morale and the destruction of Shi Fenghong's prestige will be devastating. Moreover, most of the generals in the army are ill-informed.
Seniors, it’s hard to hide such a big trick from us.
"Although what the Commander-in-Chief said does not make sense, even if you are willing, my subordinates are still willing to fight again."
"The king's plan is very bad, so I have to think about it. Wang Jieshuai is a fellow countryman of so and so, so when he wants to attack, he will naturally be honest and polite."
That flag was embroidered with common symbols in Bon religion. It was exactly the same as the Bon religion "swastika" I saw in later generations, and the pattern was simpler, instead of a similar square made of solid red, blue, yellow and other colors.
picture of.
The truth and the law are in the hands of the majority. A few people do not see far and only care about short-term interests. This is also limited by their own knowledge and is understandable. However, those people are a small minority in the group, and we also support them.
If you don’t have your own will, it’s possible for others to say whatever you think is correct!
Fang Chongyong analyzed it and put forward very pertinent opinions.
No one wants to become a stepping stone for others' military success. They sacrifice themselves to attract the attention of the Tubo people. In the end, they die and become a "friendly army".
The expression on Shi Feng's red face was like a person who almost died of thirst outside the desert and suddenly drank sweet mountain spring water!
With military affairs at hand, I will return to Luocheng first to reinforce the city's defences."
One of the ten generals of the Doulu Army could not help but interrupt.
Yes, you are riding a horse and you are the Tang Army. Why are you so anxious?
It’s just that it’s so difficult to persuade one’s subordinates to die together. It’s when there is no life-or-death threat. Who else at the bottom know these little truths Zhang Guangsheng said?
"Reinforcements?"
As long as we are human, we do not have our own thoughts and will seriously consider personal interests. Weak melons are sweet, and we just use military orders to mobilize those generals and let us lead our troops to attack. The initial effect will definitely be very bad!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before sitting down, Fang Chongyong said worriedly:
From the founding of Tubo to its demise, this man deserved to be the first.
"Who is this person? Qin Ling has been dead for decades."
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Bad news!
That move directly set Tibet's military expansion strategy back eighty years. It was even better than the self-destruction of the Great Wall when Emperor Wen of the Liu Song Dynasty, Liu Yilong, killed Tan Daoji. It directly contributed to the historical style of the previous emperor who ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
I gave you a "little gift".
Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!”
"What are you talking about Qinling? What does this general call "knowing" and "passing"? Unexpectedly, I discovered something that made me very surprised.
Who dares to say that Guo Ziyi will be able to lift the siege of Guazhou and Suzhou in a short period of time? The terrain on the Hexi Corridor is as small as a person's throat. Only a large number of troops and horses are needed to clear the key roads.
Lock it down.
So I reluctantly waved my hand and said:
It was convenient to say that there were few people just now. In fact, I think that the plan of the emperor is quite feasible. The Tibetan army is facing off with the main force of the Hexi frontier army. It is not wrong to say that tens of thousands of elites can move a little bit. Now Guazhou will definitely be full.
Fang Chongyong did not continue, but the meaning he wanted to express was not very clear yet. The leader of the Tibetan army besieging Luocheng was a low-handed general, and he was afraid that he would be so difficult to deal with. And the Tibetan army in Guazhou had such a supporting force, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with it.
It was also followed by a bad deal.
The things that the Shazhou soldiers could only dream of were accomplished by the Tubo people with ease. Famous generals whose performance was low and shocked their masters occasionally came on stage, and there were seven in ancient and modern times.
Previously, the Qinling family defected to Xiao Tang and defended the border for Xiao Tang. That incident perfectly explained that the interests of the monarch were not equal to the interests of the country, and sometimes even contradicted each other.
It was that little incident that gave the Tang army no confidence to use force against Tibet. The reason why the Tang army always felt that it was "ordered by heaven" was because in the first ten years after I came to the throne, all kinds of internal conditions were not over.
Good for Xiao Tang.
The presence of the Bon Religion flag in the Tibetan army shows that the Tibetan army general is a die-hard believer who firmly supports the Bon religion. And the Tibetan army besieging the city clearly supports the cause of Tibetan Buddhism.
…
Shi Fenghong persuaded with earnest words.
If you miss that opportunity and the imperial troops are unable to recapture Guazhou and Suzhou, what will you do in winter?"
"When people have peace of mind, they usually only care about the moment of peace behind their eyes, but they think that the stormy waves ahead are completely unavoidable.
Routine 7: Find a cloudless weather and gather the troops to practice. Then "if there are no clouds, go out and the white rabbit dances, you will win." If you see the clouds in the world turn into the shape of a rabbit, you will win the battle.
, that is a "legend of the world" in history, and has no certain credibility.
