Chapter 2706: Tubo King Songtsan Gampo, God of War in the Snowy Lands on Qinling

Songtsen Gampo is humble on the surface, but he is actually a proud person, and he does have the capital to be proud.

The Tubo Kingdom is located in Tibet on the plateau, and before the unification of Tibet was completed, there were constant wars among the major tribes and chieftains for thousands of years.

The Ga family, to which Songtsan Gampo belongs, has always been a large family in Tibet. After the news came that the Eastern Great Qin would destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world, the Ga family was committed to following the example of the Great Qin to unify Tibet, but unfortunately, after more than ten generations of efforts, it failed can succeed.

Until Songtsan Gampo’s father, Nangri Songtsan’s generation, abandoned the ancestral system of seclusion, actively communicated with the outside world, and relied on business with the Han and Qiang tribes, thus ushered in great development, and gradually became Tibetan. land overlord.

But it is a pity that Nangri Songtsan was poisoned and assassinated by his own people before he could start to unify Tubo, and the Ga family was also caught in internal and external troubles.

After a series of internal struggles, Songtsan Gampo managed to inherit his father's position, but he had to face the coalition forces of the surrounding tribes. After repelling the coalition forces of the various tribes, the wealth accumulated by his father was almost exhausted. , it is impossible for Songtsan Gampo to complete the great cause of unifying Tubo.

Songtsan Gampo had studied Han culture and traveled to Yongliang and Liangzhou for many times, so he had a good understanding of Han culture, and what he admired most was Qin Shihuang and Han Gaozu, especially Han Gaozu who was indomitable and defeated repeatedly.

The power of example is endless.

Therefore, even in this situation, Songtsen Gampo did not give up, but became more motivated.

While reclaiming wasteland, expanding the area of ​​cultivated land, developing production, and accumulating strength, Songtsan Gampo continued to learn the advanced civilization technology of the Han Dynasty.

At this time, the Han Dynasty was at the end of the road, and Yuan Shu, the warlord who ruled the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, and Cao Cao in Yanzhou would sell everything for money, so it was not difficult for Songtsan Gampo to buy technology.

Of course, the civilization of the Central Plains at this time is progressing rapidly, and the speed of technological iteration is very fast, so what can be bought from Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are only low-level technologies that have been eliminated.

But for the backward Tubo, even the technology eliminated by the Han people is enough for them to digest for a long time.

In addition to all the above, Songtsan Gampo also imitated King Yan Zhao, built a "golden platform", bought horse bones with thousands of dollars, and wanted to recruit talents from all over the world for his own use.

For the closed Tibet, many of the things Songtsan Gampo did were acts of treason that violated the ancestral system.

But in the eyes of those insightful people who really yearn for change but feel desperate for the class solidification in Tibet, Songtsen Gampo is undoubtedly a ray of hope to dispel the darkness.

The best among Tibetan sages, such as: Lundongzan, Xinuoluo Gonglu, Dayanmangbuzhi, and the seven sages of Tubo, such as Rulejie and Labugoga, etc., have taken the initiative to seek refuge in Songtsan Gampo , and among them Lun Dongzan is the head.

On Dongzan is the "Six Trial Marriage Envoys", or "Six Difficult Marriage Envoys", Lu Dongzan, also known as "Xue Lu Dongzan", "Zhulu Dongzan", etc., is recognized as the first in the Tubo Dynasty. prime minister.

Lun Dongzan searched all the major forces in Tubo, and found that only Songtsan Gampo wanted to change, and only he had the ability to unify Tibet, so he put all his hopes on Songtsan Gampo, not only personally went out to assist Songtsan Gampo Bu, also recommended a lot of talents.

It was also with the help of Lun Dongzan and other talented people that the Ga family, which absorbed a lot of new technology from the great Han, was able to improve rapidly in a short period of time, and once again had the capital to unify Tibet.

But even so, Songtsan Gampo would still face many difficulties in unifying Tibet. After all, there are many places on the plateau that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Without a strong army and a famous general who is good at fighting, it is impossible to break The natural barrier of the plateau.

A thousand troops are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.

In Tibet, a place where birds don't lay eggs, it is even more difficult to find a good general.

Songtsan Gampo had no generals available for a long time, so he could only personally lead the army to fight the enemy. It was not until the younger generation of generals headed by Lun Qinling, the second son of Lun Dongzan, fully grown up and emerged that this dilemma was completely resolved. .

If Songtsan Gampo is a famous emperor who comes out of Tibet every few hundred years, then Lun Qinling is a famous general who is rarely seen once in a thousand years in Tibet.

Lun Qinling is not well-known, but his record is extremely strong. He is an unprecedented military genius in the history of Tubo.

Before Lun Qinling started to emerge, the battle between Tubo and Li Tang basically hadn't won much.

Especially in the Battle of Wuhai, Su Dingfang defeated the [-] Tubo army with a thousand riders. Such an outrageous record made the Tubo people terrified, and even left a false record of "the Tang army burned the Potala Palace" when writing history books.

But after the death of Li Shimin and the death of many famous generals who founded the country in Li and Tang, when the Tang army faced the Tubo army led by Lun Qinling, the battle situation was completely different.

In the Battle of Dafeichuan, Lun Qinling led an army of 40 against Xue Rengui, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, but the 10,000+ Tang army was almost wiped out.

This was also a battle that Xue Rengui regretted for the rest of his life and would not be guaranteed at the end of the day. The reason why he lost so badly was not that his ability to command troops was not as good as Lun Qinling, but that he was held back by his teammates.

Xue Rengui's deputy, Guo Daifeng, violated the military order without authorization, insisted on going his own way, and finally fell into defeat. It was not a crime of war.

But if you lose, you lose.

Xue Rengui's defeat in this battle was terrible, and it was also the first major defeat suffered by Tang Jun, who has won more with less and defeated all invincible opponents in Asia since Li Tang founded the country. .

In the Battle of Qinghai Lake, Lun Qinling defeated the 18 Tang troops led by Li Jingxuan and Liu Shenli, and took advantage of the victory twice to briefly capture the four towns of Anxi in the Western Regions.

In the Battle of Suluo Khan Mountain, Lun Qinling and his younger brother Lun Zanpo faced more than [-] Wu Zhou troops led by Wang Xiaojie and Lou Shide, and relying on their geographical advantages, they blocked the front and rear, and the troops covered and killed them, causing heavy losses to the Wu Zhou army. .

Lun Qinling used the bones of the Tang Army and Wu Zhou Army as a stepping stone, and forcibly earned its reputation as the "God of War in the Snow Region", and the cumulative number of Tang Army and Wu Zhou Army annihilated reached tens of thousands.

Whether it was Li Tang or Wu Zhou, there was nothing they could do about Lun Qinling. In the end, it was Wu Zetian who used scheming to intensify the conflict between Lun Qinling and Tubo Zanpu, and then used the hands of the Tubo people to get rid of the serious trouble.

Therefore, for Songtsen Gampo, Lun Dongzan and others can only strengthen the foundation, while Lun Qinling can establish the country.

As a rare military genius in Tibet in a thousand years, Lun Qinling's military talent is already the best in Tibet, and he has been vigorously cultivated by Songtsen Gampo. There is no one in Tibet who can match him militarily.

With the power of the Ga family and the talented commander of Lun Qinling, if they worked steadily, Tibet could be completely unified within ten years at the most, but Songtsen Gampo was not satisfied, thinking that ten years was too long.

In order to shorten the period of unification, Songtsan Gampo formed an alliance with the Sui Dynasty, canonized Buddhism as the state religion, and named Sakyamuni as the state teacher.

Under Songtsen Gampo's actions, it took him only four years to unify Tibet, which the Ga family had failed to unify for 400 years.

Before Songtsen Gampo completely unified Tibet, he established the Tubo Kingdom, and created the Tibetan nationality and Tibetan language.

Now Songtsen Gampo has completely unified the Tibetan plateau, achieving unprecedented achievements of Tibetans for thousands of years, and his status in the hearts of Tibetans is just like Qin Shihuang in the hearts of Han people.

Such a founding king is naturally extremely proud.

However, he proposed to Daqin twice, but was rejected by Daqin. It was inevitable that he would not feel resentment towards Daqin in his heart.

Of course, this resentment will not affect Songtsan Gampo's judgment.

Songtsan Gampo decided to send troops to support the Sui State. Apart from not wanting Daqin to completely occupy Kansai and thus directly contact Daqin, one of the reasons was his ambition for Haizhou and Liangzhou.

After Tubo unified Tibet, relying on the assistance of the Sui Kingdom, the speed of development was extremely rapid.

Although the development of Tubo has not yet reached saturation, it has gradually leveled off, and if you want to continue to develop rapidly, you have to go out of the plateau.

That's right, just like Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, after undergoing rapid development, now Tubo is about to embark on the road of external expansion.

This is also inevitable with the development of the times and does not depend on personal will.

The expansion directions of Tubo were only Yizhou, Liangzhou, Haizhou and the Western Regions.

If Daqin defeated Sui and occupied Liangzhou and Haizhou, there would be no hope for Tubo.

But if it was to help the Sui Kingdom repel the Qin army, then the Sui Kingdom would have to thank Tubo. It would not be too much to cede one or two counties in Liangzhou or Haizhou, right?
It was with this kind of thinking that Songtsen Gampo chose to aid the Sui Dynasty, and people in Tubo also supported it. After all, if Tubo wants to continue to grow, it must go out of the plateau.

There was a high degree of unity in Tubo, and it was agreed that the Sui Dynasty should be assisted, so naturally there was not much resistance, and various matters concerning the Sui aid were quickly passed.

In the end, Songtsan Gampo appointed Lun Qinling as the chief general, Dayan Mangbuzhi as the deputy general, and Lun Zanpo, Lun Gongren, Xin Nuoluo Gonglu, Zhulong Mangbuzhi and others as generals, leading a total of [-] troops. Plateau, enter Haizhou, go to support Sui State.

However, Songtsan Gampo also took the opportunity to open his mouth and put forward some conditions, such as: the food, grass and military salary of the Tubo army will be provided by the Sui army, and the two counties of Haizhou will be ceded to Tubo.

After Yang Guang learned about it, he was furious. After all, Tubo was able to develop so fast, and the Sui Kingdom contributed a lot, but Songtsan Gampo wanted to take advantage of it.

Yang Guang was naturally ready to refuse, but was persuaded by Gao Jiong.

"My lord, why don't you agree to Tubo first, and wait until the Qin army is repelled to get through this crisis. Whether we will give money or food, or cut off the land, it depends on our mood. Even if he repudiates him, what can Tubo do to me?" Gao Jiong said faintly. road.

Yang Guang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, yes, after the repelled Qin army, would the Tubo army still dare to snatch it?If you really dare, it will just wipe out the Tubo army who came to help.

With this in mind, Yang Guang agreed to Tubo's request, and Songtsan Gampo was naturally overjoyed when he learned about it, but he didn't know that Yang Guang was in danger, but he was still plotting against him.

On the other hand, after Shu State received Sui State's request for help, Liu Yu called a group of ministers to discuss and discuss whether to assist Sui State.

The Yizhou local faction headed by Qiao Zhou believes that the Shu Han has not recovered from the two major defeats in Hanzhong and Shunan a year ago.

However, the foreign faction headed by Prime Minister Su Qin believed that it was not a question of whether the Shu Han wanted to send troops, but that the Shu Han had to send troops to the Jiange to contain the Qin army in Hanzhong to support the Sui State.

There are five reasons why Su Qin said this:

One is that the battle damage in Hanzhong and Shunan cannot be recovered in a short period of time, but the Qin army will not wait for the Shuhan to recover slowly. All sitting and watching the Great Qin destroy the four kingdoms without saving them is tantamount to slow suicide;

Second, in the battle of southern Shu, the Shu Han suffered a lot, and the Nanman suffered a lot, and they were also recovering from the battle damage. They were unable to hold back the Shu Han in the southern Shu, so there was no need to worry about the instability of the defense when sending troops to Jiange.

The third is that Daqin went to war with the four countries at the same time, and the troops dispatched exceeded one million, so the country must be free, and this may be an opportunity for the Shu Han to regain Hanzhong.

Four is……

five……

Su Qin is worthy of being a son of the political strategist, and his verbal kung fu is really strong. The five points he put forward can be described as eloquent, and Qiao Zhou and other Yizhou local factions are speechless, unable to refute at all.

　The annual vacation is over, and the first few days back to the company were a bit busy, and I didn’t care about the code words. It’s much better now, and Chapter 2 is still being written, but I guess I can’t catch up with the time. Try to write as much as possible today, and strive for double updates tomorrow.

　　The record of Qinling is still very strong, but it is a pity that he is not a Han Chinese, otherwise he will definitely be able to enter the Wu Temple, and he will focus on describing it as a representative figure of Tibet
