Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2415 Attacking Tang Dynasty
Songtsan Gampo is no longer the ambitious Songtsan Gampo.

He just wants to keep his foundation now.

Therefore, he doesn't really want to fight Datang, he has no confidence in defeating Datang.

Naturally, he would not do things without confidence.

However, after listening to the official's words, he suddenly changed his mind.

If Datang doesn't deal with them, then he naturally doesn't have to do anything to Datang, but if Datang has long thought about destroying their Tubo, then he has to think carefully about it.

Otherwise, their Tubo would have to be slaughtered by others, but he didn't want such a Tubo.

His Tubo must survive, and no one can touch his Tubo.

Songtsan Gampo stood up suddenly, and said: "The wolf is ambitious in the Tang Dynasty, Li Chengqian just came to the throne, just when he needs merit, they are very likely to use troops against me, Tubo, so we can't just sit and wait for death. You have to be prepared, you have to stockpile enough food."

What Songtsen Gampo said was exactly what those officials thought.

If they don't act again, then their Tibetans will become fat meat on Datang's mouth.

The fat is on the lips, so is there any reason not to eat it?
In any case, they must ensure that their Tubo can overcome the difficulties this time.

"Your Majesty, the last general is willing to lead the army and go to attack some cities in the Tang Dynasty. Be sure to bring back some food and grass."

The general who stood up was called Che Gu, who was a recent rising general in Tubo. Moreover, he was not only a strong general, but also quite skilled in military tactics, and his ability was very good.

After he stood up like this, Songtsan Gampo nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, then I will give you [-] soldiers and horses, and you must plunder as much food and grass as possible from Datang, understand?"

"Understood, please rest assured Zanpu."

After saying this, Che Gu went down to make preparations, and the others discussed some things before leaving one after another.

The heavy snow in Tubo King City is still falling. I don't know when it will snow this time.

After everyone left, Songtsan Gampo couldn't help sighing while looking at the heavy snow outside.

Although he has made some preparations for possible dangers, his heart is still uneasy. This uneasiness makes him feel that his Tubo is like a bird's nest on a branch. When a gust of wind blows, it may was scraped off.

What a storm.

"Chegu, chegu, you must not let me down, the cities of the Tang Dynasty, you have to take down a few of them, right?"

As long as they can take down a few cities of the Tang Dynasty, after that plunder, they should have no difficulty in getting through this winter in Tibet.

And as long as they get through this difficulty, even if Datang asks them to settle accounts, they will have the confidence to resist.

It won't be the end of the country, right?
-
Gancheng is just a small town on the border of the Tang Dynasty, and its scale can only be regarded as a county.

Because it is a small border town, it is not very prosperous, and the population in the small town is also very small.

However, in the past few years, the border of the Tang Dynasty has been relatively stable, and the people here have lived a stable life here for a few years.

This stable day makes them happy from the bottom of their hearts.

There is no way, this day is peaceful, so there is no need to worry all day long, the mood is comfortable, and some elderly people have the time to sit in front of the door and bask in the sun.

If conditions permit, they might also raise a native dog, and watch their children and grandchildren play with the native dog while basking in the sun, which will make people feel that life is going well.

After the winter moon came, the weather in Gancheng became colder day by day.

Many people hid at home and seldom went out.

The border town, which was already a bit deserted, became even more deserted at this time.

At this time, Che Gu, the Tubo general, rushed to Gancheng with [-] soldiers and horses, and their speed was very fast.

When they were about to arrive in Gancheng, the spies on Gancheng's side had already got the news and hurriedly reported it to the officials here.

The county magistrate of Gancheng is Xu Jian, a young man in his twenties.

He was a Jinshi who passed the examination a few years ago, but his ranking was not high, so he was appointed as the county magistrate here in the border town.

However, even though he was assigned here, he didn't feel sorry for himself. He was very attentive to the construction of this place, so although it was far from being closed at night and not picking up things, the situation was still much better than before.

In fact, in a border town like Gancheng, it will never be possible to keep the doors open at night and not pick up things, because there must be a prerequisite for this to happen, that is, the people here have money, can eat enough, wear warm clothes, Only those who have no worries about food and clothing will not do those things that are like chickens and dogs.

If a person is about to starve to death and can survive by stealing food, can he not steal?
Xu Jian is very aware of this situation, so he has been working hard to develop the economy here, but where is the economy in the border town easy to develop?
And because there are potential dangers here, many businessmen are not willing to come here.

Xu Jian worked hard for it, but with little success.

This morning, Xu Jiang just woke up, and before he had time to eat breakfast, spies rushed over.

"My lord, it's bad, it's bad, [-]... [-] Tubo soldiers are coming to our side, they... they're afraid they're going to attack the city."

Xu Jian is a far-sighted official. He has never trusted Tubo, so after he took office, he trained a group of spies to keep an eye on the situation.

Now it seems that his original choice was right.

"How many days will it take for them to arrive?"

"Probably within three days."

"Three days?" This time is very short for him, three days, it seems that there is not much he can do.

Xu Jianlai walked back and forth, and he couldn't help sweating from his forehead. A gust of cold wind made him feel shivering all over.

"Order to let all the people leave Gancheng. We can't stay here anymore, or Tubo will massacre the city, and they will all die. Let all the people in the county government be dispatched. Within three days, I want the entire Gancheng to be free." A common people."

Hearing Xu Jian's order, the people in the nearby county government were a little shocked. It is a big project to relocate everyone. After all, not everyone is willing to leave their hometown, even if this place is a border town, isn't it? It was so bustling and lively.

But when people stay in one place for a long time, they will develop feelings.

But they knew Xu Jian's temper, so they didn't say any nonsense, just nodded and agreed.
