The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 819
For the Tubo people, this year is a year of change and complexity. Whether it is an alliance with the Li and Tang Dynasty, or a fight with Tuyuhun, people feel overwhelmed. However, what is even more unexpected is that Langri Zanpu, the invincible man in all over the world, led the Northern Expedition to the Great Sui Dynasty, but ended up with the whole army wiped out and his father and son behind him.

The [-] Sui army invaded Tubo with lightning speed and killed all the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, almost annihilating the whole army.If it is said that the camp guarding the north gate of the Jiqu River Valley was broken by a surprise attack by the Sui army, it can be understood as a surprise attack, then the Sui army defeated Longkodo with a very small force of nearly [-] troops. It makes all the Tibetans feel that the sky is falling apart and the mountains and rivers have changed color...

Regret?
Ordinary Tibetans don't regret it if they can't be called, because war is not something they can decide.But the Tubo aristocrats in Luoxie Wangcheng really regretted it. They never thought that Langri Zanpu and Tuyuhun, who have more than 20 elite soldiers, would not be the opponents of the Sui army, and the reaction of the Sui people would be like this It's fierce and vicious, and it's more eastern. I'm afraid there are not many living people to be found now.

At the beginning, these nobles thought that the Tubo army was invincible, invincible, and invincible on the plateau, and the Central Plains Dynasty, which occupied the most fertile land in the world, fought a civil war for more than ten years. With a godsend opportunity to compete for warm and fertile land, as long as the Sui army is expelled, the children and grandchildren of the Tubo people will be able to thrive and live and work in peace and contentment on the fertile land.

Everyone has this heart--

Therefore, no matter whether it is the royal family, old or new aristocrats, they were all moved by Lu Dongzan's palace debate and fully supported Langri Zanpu's Northern Expedition.

But at this moment, when the Sui army came to kill them, they began to regret, not regretting the looting, but regretting that they chose the wrong opponent. Lv, Niboluo, Dangxiang, and Tuyuhun are so weak, this time they obviously hit the iron plate.

What's more terrible is that not only Langri Zanpu and his son Dazan Gampo died, but all the outstanding royal children such as Keer and Longkodo were killed in battle. Now the royal family has no one who can succeed If there is no leader and everyone sticks to their own opinions, how can they fight against the Sui army with one heart?
At a critical moment, Langri Zanpu's queen, Saragam, stood up to take charge of military affairs. This shrewd woman not only succeeded Zanpu herself, but also claimed to be the queen of Tubo, and also included Cole's second son Mangla and Ludongzan. Her second son, Galqinling, was her son, and she conferred Mangla as the eldest prince and Garqinling as the young prince. This act brought her to the royal family and the Geer family, plus her natal Meng family and her uncle's Tunmi family. , the queen immediately received the full support of the four major forces in Tubo, and everyone worked together to stabilize the chaotic royal city.

Fortunately, the menacing Sui army seemed to be at the end of their battle. After they defeated Longkodo, they did not take the opportunity to march, but stayed in Longkodo's barracks as a whole.

After the Queen, who was a little relieved, took the throne hastily, she swept away those who opposed her with lightning speed, and the four major forces, which had their own gains, were even more satisfied.So under the command of the queen, while sending people to various places to dispatch troops and generals; at the same time guiding the various ministries around the king's city to retreat to the west for refuge, intending to fight this small Sui army in a battle.

The Tubo monarchs and ministers expected well. Wang Fubao really didn’t want to fight anymore. The loss was the secondary reason. The key is that in the battle with Longkodo, the prestige of the Sui Dynasty had already been played. In addition, not only does it not make much sense, but it will benefit Nong, Ba, Cai Bang and Prince Subi.

At this moment in the military camp, Prince Supi Mangboje and the redeemed Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Cai Bang Suhan were on their way to the military camp. It had been several days since the Sui army ceased fighting. Time, but up to now, the Sui army has not finished disposing of the dead bodies of the Tubo people.

These people are not people who have never seen the world, but now they look at the corpses all over the mountains and plains, and they are all shocked.

Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Caibang Suhan have seen it once in Doma, but compared with here, they still seem insignificant. Mangbojie, who has never seen the big world, His face turned pale with fright.

Outside the military camp of Longkodo, tens of thousands of Tibetan captives dug a huge deep pit, and under the supervision of the Sui army, they moved all the corpses into the pit.And poured buckets of grease looted from the ministries over those corpses.

They didn't understand why the Sui army wasted so much oil, and buried it for a long time?These oils are all the things that the Tibetans began to hoard for the winter.

However, under the surveillance of the Sui army, neither the captives nor Mangpo Jeba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Cai Bang Suhan, who had been ushered in by the Sui army, dared not speak out. In the deep and large pit, the fat was sprinkled on the corpse over and over again to ensure that nothing was missed.

"General, it's almost there!" Su Wu climbed up from the pit with a rope, and bowed to Wang Fubao.

"Withdraw the soldiers." There was no expression on Wang Fubao's indifferent face.

"Here!" Su Wu saluted, then waved and said, "Retreat."

"woooooooo~"

A trumpeter blew the horn, and the Sui army patrolling the pit quickly withdrew from the huge pit.

Tens of thousands of captives looked up blankly, not understanding what the Sui army was doing.

For about a moment, all the Sui soldiers climbed out of the pit, but no Tubo people came out. Some Tubo people wanted to follow up, but they were repelled by the Sui soldiers. They could only endure the unpleasant smell and watched slowly. Withdraw the Sui army.

"Rocket is ready!" Wang Fubao shouted again.

The archers, who had already been prepared, quickly drew the arrows dipped in fat on the torch, and the cluster of arrows was immediately surrounded by flames.

"Target Tibetans, let them go!" Wang Fubao shouted sharply when everything was ready.

All the soldiers were stunned, but the quality of the soldiers still made them not hesitate. Rockets shot up from the ground, and with a low roar, they drew a beautiful arc and fell towards the pothole.

The Tubo people in the deep pit finally knew why the pit was dug so big and deep, and finally knew why the Sui army filled the deep pit with oil.

The roars of anger, unwillingness, hatred, and despair at this moment were like a pack of wolves roaring into the sky, but they couldn't stop the sky-filled rockets from falling into this huge pit.

The grease layer was relatively thick, and some rockets fell, leaving only a string of green smoke and then extinguished, but more rockets ignited the surrounding grease and dry grass, and then amidst a roar of despair and anger, the fire quickly spread in the deep pit. Spreading, the entire deep pit was enveloped in flames in an instant.

Those Tibetans had smeared the dead body with grease for several hours, and it was inevitable that a lot of it was on their bodies, and it was almost burning at the moment.

The originally cool afternoon turned scorching hot, even though it was more than a dozen feet away from the fire pit, the surrounding Sui soldiers and slave soldiers were all parched and parched. Wang Fubao ordered the soldiers to retreat a few dozen feet away, and the burning sensation was only slightly relieved. some.

soon.

The whole sky was filled with the smell of meat. In the next period of time, although meat was not bad in the army, the soldiers didn't want to look at it. Some even wanted to vomit when they saw the meat.

"Ba Dianzebo has seen General Wang."

"Nong Chihuo met General Wang."

"Cai Bang Su is rarer than General Wang."

"Mangpoje has seen General Wang."

Under the leadership of the soldiers, the four 'kings' stepped forward one by one, with great respect.

No respect.

If this god of killing was upset, they would probably "misstep" and fall into the huge pit of fire.

Wang Fubao looked at the trembling four 'kings', passed the three kings who had redeemed himself, looked at Mangboje for a while, and said with a smile: "The four kings have come from a long way. People are exhausted. Let’s go back to the big tent. I have prepared a banquet to welcome the four kings.”

The four quickly said yes together, respectfully.

But in my heart I couldn't stop laughing wryly.

Smelling the aroma of barbecued human flesh, it would be nice not to vomit, how can I eat it?
But they didn't dare to refuse Wang Fubao's proposal, and they didn't want to show their cowardice in full view and be looked down upon by the Sui people.

At the banquet, Wang Fubao, Niu Jinda, and Su Wu smelled the aroma of human flesh and ate the roasted golden mutton, not to mention how happy they were.And the four kings are just drinking wine, the meat is not sensitive.

Wang Fubao was not reluctant, and said while eating: "Tell the four good news, that is, Langri Zanpu, Dazanganbu and his son will never come back, and the elite soldiers they brought were also slaughtered. Tuyuhun and Dangxiang also It has been destroyed, and now the land of the Qiangs has become our Jiangyuan County in the Sui Dynasty."

"Is this true?" The four kings were both surprised and delighted.

Surprised that Langri Zamp died so soon, and happy that the terrifying Langri Zamp died.

To be honest, although they decided to hang out with Tai Sui all the way to the end, they were still quite afraid of Langri Zanpu.Now that the news of the death of Lang Zamp and his son and the annihilation of the whole army have been received, the last worries are swept away.

"Naturally." Wang Fubao nodded, and said to Ba Dianzebu, Nong Chihuo, and Cai Bang Suhan with a smile: "You should know the strength of Da Sui."

The three kings nodded in haste. Before they paid the ransom, Yang Tong not only did not release them back to Tubo, but also took them to the battlefield. He witnessed the demise of Lu Dongzan's army, so he believed Wang Fubao's words. At that time, he completely lost the will to resist the Great Sui Dynasty. After returning, according to Yang Tong's regulations, he set up four generals under his command, each with 5000 people.

Wang Fubao continued: "We dispatched troops this time under the order of the Holy Majesty to wipe out the stubborn resistance of Tubo, so that the four of you can successfully establish the country. From the current point of view, there is not much resistance left."

"That's true." Ba Dianzebu nodded and said, "As far as I know, although the queen has the support of several nobles in Tubo, due to the loss of the main force, there are less than [-] elite soldiers in the royal city, and there are another [-]. , and defending the Zhang Zhung Kingdom in the west, if they transfer these [-] people back, King Zhang Zhung will definitely feel like he has entered a land without people."

Wang Fubao said: "The task of my Great Sui army is to attract the main force of Tubo and deal the heaviest blow to Tubo. From the current point of view, our task has been completed, and the next step is up to you."

The kings were excited. They were Subi people. Although they belonged to Tubo, it was only a few years after all. They did not have a high sense of identity with the Tubo kingdom to deter them with force, and their plundering nature in their bones was not wiped out.They came so actively to meet Wang Fubao, in addition to flattering them, there was another important thing, that is, they hoped that they could also participate in the conquest of Tubo, so as to obtain more funds.

If Wang Fubao didn't agree, then they would definitely get nothing. Fortunately, Wang Fubao took the initiative to say it, which made the four kings extremely excited.

Wang Fubao saw through their thoughts, but he didn't challenge them face to face. He just said lightly: "The next battle will be fought by you four countries. Every time you break a part, you will burn their tents, take their cattle, sheep, livestock and slaves, and kill them all." The chiefs have long surnames. I will take [-]% of the goods, cattle, sheep, and slaves looted by your four countries, and the remaining [-]% will belong to you."

He didn't believe that these four dared to object.

really.

As soon as they heard Wang Fubao's conditions, they all howled excitedly like wild animals.After all, in the ensuing battle, even without their participation, Da Sui would be able to destroy and crush everything. In their imagination, it would be a blessing to give one achievement. Who would have thought that Wang Fubao would be so generous.

"Another thing I want to explain."

"General Wang, please tell me."

"After the war, with the Luoxie royal city as the center, the surrounding area of ​​a hundred miles is the land of the Sui Dynasty. Your people are not allowed to graze in this area, and you cannot allow your soldiers to enter the country. Otherwise, it will be regarded as an invasion of the Sui Dynasty." Wang Fubao With piercing eyes, he looked around for a week, seeing the four kings trembling in his heart, and suddenly smiled again: "It's not that my Tai Sui wants to station an army here, but that my Tai Sui wants to set up the headquarters of the Southern Silk Road Alliance here, not only Send envoys to sit in some royal cities, and set up a discussion field here to increase trade exchanges between each other, and send bachelors to visit some, set up the Great Sui Academy, teach children from all over the world to read and write, and learn from the Great Sui Culture, etiquette of the Sui Dynasty! If your children are successful in their studies, they will not be ashamed and underestimated by others when they enter the court and worship in the future."

These words really shocked the four kings present. In their minds, the Sui Dynasty was a splendid cultural paradise, a place where saints haunted, and they all yearned for it. The Tubo nobles were even more proud of speaking Chinese. It is really amazing that my children can learn fluent Chinese and master Sinology nearby.

Even Mangboje's eyes widened, and he asked in a heavy breathing voice, "General Wang, are you serious?"

"This is the will of the Holy Majesty, and I am absolutely speaking!" Wang Fubao said seriously: "In fact, we also established a Great Sui Cultural Academy at the headquarters of the Silk Road Alliance in the Western Regions. Poetry and Hanli, the talents and learning of some noble children are not inferior to those of the Sui people. Every year, the top ten in the examination will have the opportunity to enter the court. Not only will they be rewarded by the emperor in person, but they can also compose poems in front of the envoys of various countries! Last year, the ten sons of the Western Regions each wrote a poem at the state banquet, and Prince Guici was appointed No. 1 by the Holy Master, not to mention being famous all over the world, many great Confucian scholars rushed to accept him as an apprentice."

Although the four kings don't know who the Great Confucianism is and how good it is, the Confucianism's gold content in this era is not small, and people feel that they are all superior. They were all jealous.

After all, they are all fathers, who doesn't want their children to be famous all over the world?Who doesn't want their child to be taken as an apprentice by the great Confucianism of the Heavenly Kingdom?

They were all impatient. .

I hope that Tubo will be wiped out as soon as possible, and then Tai Sui will open the school to a higher level, so that his children will become talents as soon as possible.
