Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1389 Indignant
"In my opinion, we should cut off the Tubo people's retreat, so that the Tubo people have no way to retreat. Although the soldiers and horses who invaded Tuyuhun are not all of Tubo's soldiers and horses, as long as all these soldiers and horses are wiped out, it will definitely hit Tubo hard!" Li Xiaogong pondered.

Yu Chigong shook his head and said, "There is more than one way from Tubo to Tuyuhun. How easy is it to cut off Tubo's retreat? And if you are not careful, you will be flanked by the Tubo people. It is not appropriate."

Cheng Yaojin disagreed again, and said loudly: "You can choose a few important routes, put the musketeers and cannons on it, whether he attacks back and forth, no matter how many Tubo people he comes, they will all die."

After hearing this, Li Jing murmured, "If firearms are used to attack cities and pull out strongholds, they are naturally sharp weapons, but the terrain in the northwest is wide and the roads are difficult to navigate, and the artillery is very heavy, plus luggage, and the Tubo people are all cavalry who come and go like the wind. I am afraid that the artillery will not play any role, but will become a drag."

Wei Zheng and the others couldn't help frowning when they heard this. The artillery had already proved its powerful power through the Eastern Expedition. It would be a pity if the Shenji Battalion was not brought with them this time.

Next, the two factions debated whether or not to take the Shenjiying camp out, and even Li Shimin couldn't make a decision for a while.

Li Shimin had a headache and said: "Whether the Shenji Battalion will go out with the army or not will be discussed later. Let's discuss the rest of the soldiers and horses and the food and grass that will be recruited first."

"Deploy [-] troops from Longyou and another [-] troops from Chang'an. We can discuss where the troops will be deployed."

After hearing this, Wei Zheng murmured, "Your Majesty, the soldiers and horses in Longyou are newly defeated. I'm afraid their morale will be low. If they are transferred again, the morale will spread to the whole army. I'm afraid it will hurt the morale of the army too much."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "How can my army lose all vigor because of a small defeat?"

Cheng Yaojin said: "What your Majesty said is that the soldiers in Longyou must have high morale, and they are planning to beat the Tubo people to wash away the shame of their defeat!"

Li Ji and the others couldn't help but nodded when they heard this. Now the soldiers of Datang are full of glory and confidence. A failure will not make them feel depressed or afraid, but will only make them work harder to maintain the glory and wash away the shame.

The discussion about dispatching troops lasted until noon, and finally a general framework was formed. However, whether Shenji Battalion will go out with the army is still unclear. Everyone still insists on their opinions, and no one can persuade them. Even Li Shimin can't make a decision. .

Sending troops must be a major event, and it cannot be decided in a day or two.So after more than an hour of deliberation, the court meeting finally dissipated, and things that have not been negotiated can only be discussed later.

The news of the defeat of the expeditionary army blew through the city of Chang'an like a gust of wind, and everyone who heard the news was stunned.

In the past few years, the Tang Dynasty has been flourishing and flourishing. Not only has it become more and more prosperous, but it has also become more prosperous. In the hearts of the people, the current Datang is an invincible existence.
Even the happiest East Turkic dance in the past has been destroyed, and even Goguryeo, which failed in the three Eastern Expeditions of the former Sui Dynasty, has been destroyed. How can there be any country in the world that can compete with Datang?Which other country can hundreds of soldiers and horses of their Datang?

When the army went out, no one thought that they would be defeated!
After all, Datang and Tubo had fought once a long time ago. When the Tubo invaded Songzhou, Hou Junji and Niu Jinda led the army to defeat the Tubo people. Now that several years have passed, Datang has become stronger and more powerful. How could the powerful muskets and artillery be defeated by the Tibetans?

Even if there are no muskets and cannons in this expedition, it will not be defeated by the Tibetans!
If you have to find a reason, it seems that it can only be the leading coach.

Although Zhang Liang and Hou Junji are both Dukes of the state, their ability to lead troops in battle is still quite poor. Otherwise, how could they lose to the Tubo people?
The subjects who heard the news felt very aggrieved, but they couldn't blame Zhang Liang and Guo Xiaoke, because they had already died in battle.

Everyone has died in battle, the dead are dead, what else can we say?

"It's a pity that the troops were dispatched in a hurry at the beginning, and the troops were directly dispatched from Longyou. That's why we lost this way. Our famous generals in the Tang Dynasty are like clouds. If we choose a prince from the court to be the commander, we will definitely beat the Tubo people and run away!"

"It's a pity to say it. The army of the Eastern Expedition had just triumphantly returned and the soldiers were still exhausted. I didn't expect that the Tubo people still had two brushes."

"It's also because of the cunning of the Tubo people. They just chose to invade Tuyuhun when His Majesty's royal convoy is on his own. Otherwise, why would they allow the Tubo people to jump around?"

"The Tubo people are really cunning. If you really want to have the ability to fight with us, why bother to jump around while His Majesty is driving eastward!"

"Don't even think about it. If His Majesty and all the princes are in the court, give them ten guts for the Tubo people, would they dare to jump around? The Tubo people just want to take advantage of the situation to steal chickens, but they didn't expect our Tang Dynasty to do so. Destroy Goguryeo quickly!"

"I heard that the reason why the army was defeated this time was also because Zhang Liang underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. If he did not underestimate the enemy and took the initiative to fight, he might not necessarily lose to the Tubo people."

"What does it mean that you may not lose to the Tibetans? If you really fight with your opponents, it is impossible to lose to the Tibetans!"

"It's a pity that in the final analysis Zhang Liang and Guo Xiaoke are not very good at leading the army, otherwise there would never be such a defeat! It's just pity for those soldiers who died in the battle."

"I believe that the imperial court will send troops as soon as possible to wash away the shame and avenge the dead soldiers!"

"That must be done! When did the Tang Dynasty ever persuade you? A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood, the Tubo people who must be killed throw away their helmets and armor, and never dare to send troops again!"

"The imperial court will definitely pay attention to this dispatch of troops. I hope that Duke Rong will take the Shenji Battalion and set up cannons to bombard the Tubo people to death!"

"Yes, just bombard them with cannons!"

Wherever the news went, the people all felt aggrieved and indignant.

Since His Majesty ascended the throne, when has he suffered such a big loss?
The last time I suffered was because of the East Turks, and now the Khans of the East Turks are still dancing for a living in Chang'an!
The common people talked a lot, and they all felt that the imperial court must send troops to fight back, not only to fight back, but also to teach the Tubo people a harsh lesson.

This is because Tubo is located on a plateau, otherwise everyone would not want to teach the Tubo people a harsh lesson, but to directly destroy and occupy Tubo, and directly turn Tubo into the land of the Tang Dynasty.

It's a pity that Tubo is located on a plateau that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the place on the plateau where the birds don't shit, I really don't like it.
