Chapter 425: Yuan Fang, The No. 1 Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty, what do you think? Time has arrived in the hot June before we know it.
King Songtsen Gampo of Tubo and state counselor Zhang Jianghe were both quite disappointed with what happened in the Tang Dynasty.
Originally, they had planned that there would be a severe locust plague in the Tang Dynasty this year. As long as the locust plague completely broke out, the people of the Tang Dynasty would have no food to eat.
After the chaos finally broke out, the Turks were allowed to attack Datang first.
Then Tuyuhun followed suit, making it difficult for the Tang Dynasty to take action.
But they can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, stab them in the back, and attack Tuyuhun directly.
After capturing Tuyuhun, and depending on the situation, decide whether to continue attacking Datang.
But what they never expected was that the locust plague would end just like that before it completely exploded.
They didn't even expect that the King of Shu's solution to the locust plague was so simple and crude.
He directly launched a full locust feast and then purchased locusts on a large scale, thus easily resolving the locust plague.
When the Tang Dynasty bought locusts on a large scale, even his Tibetan people had people running to catch locusts.
Their Tibetan nobles are still the main force in locust consumption.
Well, at this time, even in his palace, there were locusts and pickles...
Everything is ready, all we need is the locust plague...
But without the locust plague, there would be no chaos in the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty is not in chaos, if they take the initiative to provoke the Tang Dynasty, aren't they looking for death?
What a pity for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Songtsen Gampo was very forbearing. Since he missed this opportunity, he could just wait for the next opportunity.
When the opportunity comes, give Datang a hard time.
If there is no chance, then be patient and lurk.
In fact, Songtsen Gampo was not such a cautious person originally, but he was really frightened by the new weapons that the King of Shu brought out last time in Yizhou City.
Songtsen Gampo had already communicated information with Turks and Tuyuhun, but this joint operation was temporarily shelved due to timing.
But what Songtsen Gampo never expected was that the Turks had long been eyeing the Tang Dynasty.
After joining forces with Songtsen Gampo, he was even more ready to take action.
They had already been in full swing and making preparations for the station.
Then, just as they were getting ready, the locust plague ended.
But the Turks are already in a difficult situation.
As a result, the Turks became reckless.
In June, they directly invaded Datang's territory.
After getting the news, Li Shimin was furious and sent Duan Zhixuan and others as the general manager of the march to command the border soldiers and Qibi, and the party members attacked in two directions.
They are already fighting here.
Now, it was Songtsen Gampo's turn to have a headache.
The Turks are too reckless, and now they are in a dilemma: should they keep up or not?
In the end, Songtsen Gampo and Zhang Jianghe decided to follow up after discussion.
Although there is no locust plague, their allies, the Turks, have moved. If they do not move, they will not only disappoint their allies, but they will also lose this golden opportunity.
Moreover, they can still incite Tuyuhun to send troops first, and they can still reap the benefits.
If that's the case, why not do it?
Songtsan Gampo sent envoys to contact Tuyuhun and persuaded them to attack the Tang Dynasty.
After that, Songtsen Gampo was not idle either, but gathered his troops and went all out to encircle and suppress Prince Subi.
In fact, with Songtsen Gampo's strength, he could have wiped out Prince Subi long ago.
But because of the threat from the King of Shu, Songtsen Gampo never took any action.
However, Prince Subi has also been under the surveillance of Songtsen Gampo for a long time. As long as Songtsen Gampo wants to, he can be eliminated at any time.
Now, it is a good time to solve this internal problem.
After solving this internal problem, we can free up our hands and feet to lay out the Tang Dynasty.
The task of Zhang Jianghe, the Tubo advisor, was to test the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty to see if he had any new weapons.
Tubo sent many spies to Yizhou.
Now that Yizhou has an endless stream of tourists every day, it is very easy to send some spies.
However, these spies have never been able to obtain useful information.
At least they have never seen Yizhou's army use new weapons during training.
But this time, Zhang Jianghe, the Tubo State Preceptor, wanted to test it himself.
Of course, they will conduct this test after capturing Prince Subi.
Let their soldiers wear the clothes of Prince Subi's soldiers to test.
In this case, it would be best to kill the King of Shu.
Even if he can't be killed, he can still blame Prince Subi in the end.
The most difficult thing about spying on the King of Shu is actually that the King of Shu doesn't go out often.
They must seize the opportunity when the King of Shu is out, or lead the King of Shu out of the city before they can take action.
But now, Zhang Jianghe, the Tubo advisor, was thinking hard about how to lure the King of Shu out.
Ordinary methods will naturally not work.
The last time they used Wu Meiniang to lure out the King of Shu, but that time, their plan to use wolves to destroy the King of Shu failed.
Presumably after the last lesson, King Shu will definitely be more cautious.
As soon as the King of Shu leaves Yizhou City, the national advisor Zhang Jianghe will be able to discover the King of Shu's movements immediately.
Because Zhang Jianghe, the Imperial Preceptor, keeps a parrot, it can conduct reconnaissance at high altitudes at any time, and it is not easily discovered by others.
…
On this day, Li Min suddenly found Li Yuanfang and said to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, I have decided to let you form a special force of 100 people. You are responsible for training for me."
Li Yuanfang asked curiously: "Your Highness, what are special forces? How are they trained?"
Li Min explained: "Special forces refer to troops selected and formed in the army to perform special tasks in order to achieve specific political, economic, and military purposes. Special forces must have flexible organization, capable personnel, well-equipped, mobile
Fast, well-trained, and strong in combat effectiveness.”
After listening to Li Min's explanation, Li Yuanfang couldn't help scratching his head. It was obvious that he still didn't understand.
Were there special forces in ancient times?
It really does exist. It existed during the Three Kingdoms period, such as white horse righteous followers, soldiers who ascended to the dead first, etc.
But the special forces at that time were not actually special forces in the true sense of later generations.
Therefore, it is normal for Li Yuanfang not to understand.
In order to explain to Li Yuanfang what special forces are and the training of special forces.
Li Min directly used his big killer weapon, the laptop!
This laptop was specially purchased in the mall in order to solve the problem in Xiaohe Village.
Now it just comes in handy.
Li Min directly found the method of special forces training in later generations and opened it for Li Yuanfang to watch.
Then Li Min discovered that Li Yuanfang's eyes almost went straight when he saw the training methods of later generations of special forces.
Li Min couldn't help but smile and asked: "Yuanfang, what do you think?"
Li Yuanfang said with bright eyes: "Watch it every day!"
