The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 789
Lu Dongzan is a rare genius and wise man in Tubo. Like all foreigners, he yearns for the Central Plains with its prosperous culture, but the other side of his yearning is jealousy and wants to take it as his own; especially when he went on a mission to Luoyang From then on, the prosperity and prosperity of Luoyang made him envious and jealous again.

Why do the Tibetans have to live on the barren land where the wind, bitter snow and snow are?Why did Sui people occupy the warmest and most fertile land in the world when they were born?
Lu Dongzan believed that because the Sui Dynasty occupied the most fertile land in the world, even if the world was in turmoil and endless wars, Yang Tong could manage the Sui Dynasty to make the world prosperous and strong, and the people live and work in peace and contentment in just a few years.If this kind of turmoil and war that swept across the country happened on the Tubo Plateau, I am afraid that it will not be able to recover for 500 years... Therefore, after returning from his mission, he used his eloquence to try his best to exaggerate the wealth of the Central Plains, and to exaggerate Human wisdom has analyzed that now is the best time for Tubo to take over the Central Plains. If the Sui Dynasty reunifies the Central Plains, with one heart and one mind and all efforts to the outside world, the thriving Tubo will definitely become the first choice of the Sui Dynasty. Even survival was difficult, because the Sui Dynasty absolutely did not allow a ferocious tiger to be around. Even if they looked down on the barren Tibetan plateau, they would cut the troubled Tibetan to pieces like they did the Turks.

Lu Dongzan's theory was unanimously endorsed by Tubo wise men such as Niang Shangnang, Thonmi Sangbuza, and they persuaded Langri Zanpu together, making Tubo change from a coveted bystander of the Central Plains to a participant in the splitting of the Central Plains.

They made peace with the Li Tang Dynasty, although they wanted to think more about allies, but the focus was still on the essence of the civilization of the Central Plains. The division method and laws of the county government are all they need. Any knowledge can make the national power of Tubo rise.

Everything today is developing in a good direction. However, these guys who have changed from tribal leaders to Tubo generals are all pig-headed, short-sighted, and selfish. The camp in the Manan Valley fell, and the condescending Sui army could invade the Tubo plateau and plain at any time in the future, and Tubo would usher in the worst revenge of the Sui Dynasty.

"Urgent report!"

The more Lu Dongzan thought about it, the more angry he became, and when he was about to use their own vested interests as an excuse to tell them about their strong relationship, a young soldier who had been running to his death for an unknown amount of time broke in and said loudly: "General Geer, on the General Cole fell into the enemy's siege and was wiped out; tens of thousands of Sui troops rushed to the south of Doma Valley and occupied our barracks."

"What? On Cole's total annihilation?"

"Nonsense. The Sui army only has [-] soldiers. Lun Keer is one of the most valiant warriors in our Tubo.

"Yeah, even if he meets a hundred thousand Sui troops, he won't be able to stop him."

"..."

"Shut up all of them!" Lu Dongzan was furious, kicked the case, stepped forward a few steps, pulled out his saber and slashed it on the neck of the most vicious general. With a cry, he fell into the fire, struggled a few times and then became silent.

The sudden scene stunned all the generals in the tent. Everyone stared at Lu Dongzan in a daze, not knowing why he was furious.

"As you wish, Doma has fallen, just wait for the horseshoes of the Sui army to trample on the Tubo grassland and kill your children." Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth.

The generals were silent.

Seeing these rebellious guys suddenly calm down, Lu Dongzan, who lost his temper, was startled, but he came to his senses in an instant.

In the final analysis, it was because Talu Dongzan was too young and lacked prestige to convince the public.

His talent was only circulated among the high-level people in Tubo, and the older generation headed by Langri Zanpu did not despise him because he was young.However, in the eyes of these rebellious generals, Talu Dongzan is just an incompetent person who relies on the shadow of his ancestors for his superiority.
The reason why the generals stay here and refuse to leave is of course that they want to gain more benefits, but more, I am afraid they will not accept him as the chief general.Until he showed his ferocious and vicious side, these people finally knew to be afraid, and finally he took it seriously.

Lu Dongzan, who understood, looked towards the soldiers and asked, "Lun Keer has [-] soldiers, while the Sui army only has [-]. How could he be surrounded and wiped out?"

"The Sui Army has not only 3 people, but at least [-]..." The soldiers who came to report did not dare to deceive Lu Dongzan, and told everything they knew with a bitter face.

"It seems that the Sui Emperor, like us, planned to break through from the western battlefield. Lun Keer didn't know the enemy's real strength, so he strayed into the Doma Valley and fell into the trick of luring the enemy to go deep." Lu Dongzan looked at these people with hatred. General, if it wasn't for these people's intentional delay, Cole wouldn't have lost this way. If it wasn't for fear of causing internal strife, he really wanted to cut down a few more generals who were causing trouble.

"How many people from the Sui army occupied our camp?" Lu Dongzan asked again.

"There were only more than 1 Sui troops occupying the camp. These people had bloodstains on their bodies. They should have gone south directly after annihilating the soldiers who were caught in the trap. Later, some more came one after another. It is estimated that there are 3 people. "The messenger soldier said hastily.

Lu Dongzan's heart sank, and when Jishi was closed, Yang Tong asked them to mobilize [-] elite soldiers, and now another [-] were sent to Doma, should the next step be to directly kill Benluo?However, the [-] elite soldiers led by Cole were stronger than Langri Zanpu's soldiers. These Bon believers were brave and fearless in battle. The Sui army wiped them out, and I am afraid that their own losses were not small.

"Are you sure that only 3 Sui soldiers entered the camp?" Lu Dongzan asked uneasy.

The soldier hurriedly said. "Before I came, there were indeed only so many, but I don't know if it has continued to increase."

Lu Dongzan thought in his heart, if it was only [-], he would not be afraid.

There were [-] Sui soldiers who participated in the battle at the beginning. After the war, only [-] Sui troops entered the Tubo camp. Then [-] soldiers of the Sui army were wounded, killed, or killed during the encirclement and annihilation of Doma Town. It was to clean up the battlefield, but in terms of Cole's strength and combat power, it is more reasonable for the Sui army to have such a loss.

They need to firmly occupy the strategically important Domanan Valley. There are only 3 people, and they are not a threat to the hinterland of Tubo for the time being.

What Lu Dongzan was worried about was that the emperor of the Sui Dynasty had already sent the main force to come. If the main force of the opponent arrived at Doma, then the Sui army could send a partial division of 3 to [-] people to kill Xiang Luoxie.

The plan for now is to retake the Doma camp no matter the cost before the main force of the Sui army arrives.

Determined, Lu Dongzan said to the generals: "Doma is the east gate of our Tubo, and it is very important to everyone in Tubo. If we lose it completely, the Sui cavalry can enter the hinterland of Tubo at any time, wherever they want to go." It’s all right, so I’m going to do my best to take Doma back, and I hope everyone will agree with me. You should know Zanpu’s methods.”

"Pass my order, and the whole army will send troops night after night. If someone pushes you again and again, you will not be the only ones who will die." Lu Dongzan, who knew that he was not worthy of virtue, had no choice but to "fake tiger's power" against the crowd. .

"The last will obey."

Thinking of Langri Zanpu's methods, all the generals felt chills.

One and two stood up obediently, and mobilized their respective clan soldiers in coordination.

The barracks in Tubo are simple, and even the army rations can walk by themselves. As long as the tents are put away, the army can march.

Ready, the [-] troops braved the icy blizzard and trembling in the icy cold wind, and marched westward on horseback.

. . . . . . . . .

Doma South Valley, after the Sui army occupied the Tubo camp, they did not move in, but dismantled it to the east bank of the Yellow River, and set up barracks and trenches to prevent the Tubo army from the east from going northward to Doma Town along the east bank of the Yellow River. In order to make it easier for the Tubo army to attack the camp, Wang Fubao, who set up the camp, piled the earth hills in front of the camp into flood waters one by one, and the small lakes and swamps left behind were filled into flat land.A radius of several miles is full of knee-high loess flats. After the flats are made, water from the Yellow River is drawn in to irrigate them to the bottom. If the cavalry tramples back and forth, it will become a very difficult swamp.

Speaking of which, Wang Fubao learned this method from Dou Jiande. When his elder brothers were still serving under the command of Gao Shida, Guo Xuan, the general guard of Zhuo County, led [-] fine cavalry to the south to suppress it. And decided to adopt the method of surrender.

Dou Jiande led [-] elite soldiers, pretending to leave Gao Shida and surrender to Guo Xuan; Gao Shida pretended to be angry and beheaded several criminals, claiming that he had killed Dou Jiande's relatives, friends and fellow villagers.But Guo Xuan knew it well, pretended to be tricked, and beat Dou Jiande for a while.Facing the cavalry killed by Guo Xuan, Dou Jiande led them to fight in the swamp covered with loess. The horseshoes fell into the mud and could not extricate themselves. Dou Jiande's soldiers and horses attacked suddenly and defeated the Sui army.Dou Jiande led his troops to pursue him fiercely and killed him in the plain. The Sui army in Zhuojun was defeated.

When Yang Tong decided to use the camp to lure the enemy to attack, Wang Fubao offered this method of trapping the enemy in the mud.

into the night.

Piles of bonfires were ignited in the camp of the Sui army. Yang Tong ordered to slaughter 7 sheep to reward the three armies. , Ninth Army, and Qiang soldiers totaled [-] people, happily enjoying the joy of victory.

In the snow field in front of the big tent, Yang Tong held a grand celebration banquet for thousands of soldiers who made great achievements. The soldiers gathered together and made a lively noise. .

"Everyone!"

In front of the tent, Yang Tong, who has attracted much attention, stood up and held up the wine bottle in his hand. The snow in front of the tent fell silent for a moment, only to hear Yang Tong's voice echoing in the snow: "Today, in this battle, our army killed you!" There are more than 1 enemies and more than 5184 prisoners. The [-] Tubo army led by Cole will not fall. This is the most complete annihilation of the entire army. , This is the credit of the soldiers of the three armies who sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy. When we are victorious, we must not forget the [-] soldiers who died for the country, the first cup of wine, to respect the fallen soldiers, and may their spirits rest in peace in heaven."

After finishing speaking, Yang Tong poured the wine slowly on the ground. Thousands of soldiers got up and poured the skin bags full of highland barley wine on the ground one after another.

At this moment, Yang Tong said loudly to the crowd: "The commander who commanded the whole army to win today's victory is General Wang Fubao, the commander of the Ninth Army. , we must pay tribute to the general who made the first contribution in this battle, General Wang."

"Thank you, Majesty, for your compliment." Wang Fubao hurriedly got up, walked from behind his seat to the aisle in the middle, and saluted, blushing with excitement.

The nearby generals saw that his face was flushed, and there was a burst of knowing laughter. Yang Tong couldn't help laughing seeing such a wise and courageous general so cautious.

At that time, I was ordered to go north to Jizhou to suppress the rebellion, and defeated the Hebei coalition led by Dou Jiande in Wude Mountain. In the end, they were outnumbered and captured alive.

The enemy who beat life and death in the past has now become the commander of the Ninth Army of the Sui Dynasty. This world is really amazing. He handed the wine bottle in his hand to Wang Fubao, and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is rewarded to you, you can drink it !"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Fubao took the wine bottle and found that it was extremely heavy, at least two catties in weight. After he thanked it.He drank it down in one gulp, then turned the wine bottle down and showed it to the surroundings. The surrounding soldiers applauded and cheered, "General Wang is a good drinker!"

Yang Tong was taken aback for a moment, he was actually just trying to make Wang Fubao feel good, he didn't expect him to do it all at once, it was too upright, fortunately he wasn't a hero, otherwise, he would have fallen in three steps.

Yang Tong took the wine bottle back, refilled it, and said loudly, "This is the third bottle, I respect all of you here, and all the great Sui predators!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

In the middle of the wine, Wang Fubao, who was poured by the generals, was like a normal person.

But Yang Tong couldn't stand it anymore. Although the highland barley wine in Tubo was not high in alcohol, everyone respected him first and then Wang Fubao, which was really unbearable.Before the celebration banquet was over, he was so drunk that he became a deserter.

Before leaving, he made a gesture to the next chief generals in a low voice.

The generals agreed, and not long after Yang Tong left, they also left one by one under the pretext of changing clothes, and quietly came to Yang Tong's big tent.

Yang Tong's marching tent had three rooms and three entrances, outside to discuss affairs, in the middle to handle official business, and the back tent was a sleeping tent, the generals knew it well, so they didn't shy away from it, so they left directly.

When Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, and Wang Fubao walked into the big tent, Yang Tong was soaking his feet.

It is quite impolite for the master to meet guests and subordinates while soaking their feet, but on the other hand, it is also a manifestation of intimacy, and generals who march and fight will not care about these, so everyone is not unhappy, but calmly finds out The seat was taken.

Half drunk and half awake, Yang Tong slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Do you think Lu Dongzan will come?"

This question was nonsensical, but the three generals knew what Yang Tong meant. Pei Xingyan, the most senior, replied immediately: "Duoma is like the four passes in the middle of the pass. If one pass is lost, the pass will be difficult to protect. Similarly, if Doma loses, Tubo is in trouble, and Lu Dongzan cannot bear the responsibility of this crime, and he has more than 7 elite soldiers in his hands. The general thinks that he will rush to fight in an attempt to retake Doma."

"General Pei said the reason why Lu Dongzan had to fight." Wang Fubao continued: "In addition, there are a few points to add at the end: First, our [-] soldiers went south to fight without washing their clothes, creating a kind of force. Insufficient, the illusion of rushing south; secondly, the whole army sang and celebrated, and Lu Dongzan must have thought that we underestimated the enemy; thirdly, our camp was particularly defensive, and he certainly would not have expected us to take the initiative to attack halfway. In fact, With the current strength of our army, even if the surprise attack fails, the Tubo army will not be able to shake the sky."

Yang Tong nodded silently.

In fact, the arrangements that should be made are almost done, and now we are waiting for Lu Dongzan to lead the army to the west. If we annihilate this elite army and kill some big men in Tubo, the power loyal to Langri Zanpu will almost be exhausted. Next Just use the method of dealing with Tubo to dismember Tubo.Of course, an outstanding hero like Langri Zamp must never be kept.

"Lu Dongzan will take at least two or three days to arrive. There should be no war tonight or tomorrow." Yang Tong pondered for a while, and then said: "The Tubo brought so much wine to keep out the cold. I can't treat our soldiers badly. Let the soldiers eat and drink openly tonight. But the necessary scouts will still be sent out.”

"The last will obey."

The third general bowed to Yang Tong, got up and left.
