Cultivation of chastity

Songtsan Gampo looked at the corpses piled up at the entrance of Dafeichuan with a somewhat solemn expression.

Although I asked Zhang Zhung cavalry to chase the remnant Tuyuhun army, it was more or less useful for Zhang Zhuong to test the strength of the Tang army stationed in Qinghai, but the Tang army stationed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was too strong.

Only half a day later, Xiangxiong's talented elite Jinpeng cavalry became history, and even their corpses were cast into Jingguan to intimidate everyone.

"Zanpu, we can't go any further. The Tang army built Jingguan here to warn the surrounding people that this is the territory of the Tang Dynasty!" Lu Dongzan said solemnly to Songtsan Gampo.

"The Tang Dynasty is really arrogant!" Song Tsangan preached, "If you don't fight with the Tang Dynasty, let them know that I, Tubo, cannot be humiliated, and the Tang Dynasty will not easily marry the princess to me!"

"Zanpu, we expelled the Tuyuhun people and let the people of Tang Dynasty see our strength. We can wait for a while!"

Lu Dong praised, "Compared to it, Xiangxiong's Jinpeng cavalry was wiped out here, and Xiangxiong has almost no strength that can be used.

After we annex and digest it, next year or the year after that we will be able to gather the power of the entire plateau to touch Datang, and let the people of Datang know that we, Tubo, are qualified to be princesses. "

In this world, for the empire, the military soul is the standard equipment, and the military soul of Datang is the Xuanjia Army.

And under the empire is the kingdom, basically there will be a two-talent war department, even if it doesn't exist now, but when it comes to fighting, there will still be, such as the blood cavalry of Tuyuhun.

Under the kingdom, some emerging forces or weakened kingdoms basically rely on a talented elite to support the scene.

If such an elite team is wiped out, with the size of a small country, if you want to gather such an experienced and powerful war department, it will take at least five years to start, and there will be a suitable battlefield to hone.

It can be said that although the original Zhang Zhung was weakened, at least he still maintained the dignity of a small kingdom.

But this elite Xiangxiong was defeated by Xue Rengui, and after being cast into Jingguan, it basically lost its final resistance!

"Listen to what the prime minister said, when I annex Xiangxiong, I will recruit 40 troops and let the Tang army hand over the princess obediently!"

However, Songtsan Gampo was also full of pride, and with a wave of his hand, he decided to deal with the last force on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Xiangxiong.

To be honest, the original Qinghai-Tibet Plateau should be distributed by three forces, probably the thriving Tubo, the barbaric Tuyuhun, and the aging Xiangxiong.

And this period in Tubo can be regarded as the morale of the country's rising morale. Not only is the leader Songtsan Gampo, a hunk born from heaven, he ascended the throne at the age of 12 and completely took power at the age of 15, overthrowing all the hostile forces within Tubo.

As for the external environment, Tuyuhun, who was originally a threat to Tubo, did not know which muscle was wrong. He insisted on looting Liangzhou, but was wiped out by Li Jing's troops, and even Murong Fushun's ashes were thrown away.

And now the last bit of Xiangxiong's family fortune was completely smashed by Xue Rengui and the academy soldiers.

It can be said that Datang interpreted what is called Tubo's father.

Therefore, Songtsan Gampo missed the princess of the Tang Dynasty so much, and it was no problem to rush to be Li Shimin's son-in-law.

Of course, the current Songtsen Gampo intends to use this opportunity to completely unify the forces on the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau first.

Then he took the army to ask Li Shimin to hand over his daughter, because Songtsan Gampo wanted Princess Shang.

Still the same sentence, in the entire area around Datang, can a country be recognized by neighboring countries, or if you rely on your own strength to survive for a hundred years, everyone thinks you are a character, at least your life is pretty tough.Or Shang Datang Princess, get tickets for the Tang Dynasty's tribute system.

In this era, for the neighboring countries of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Shang is not that the Tang Dynasty needs to contribute women to seek peace after being wronged by the Tang Dynasty, but it is a bit like a modern developing country that wants to enter the WTO ticket and obtain the most-favored-nation treatment with Datang.

They can only express through Princess Shang that you are my father, can I join your trading system! ?
As for why foreign princesses are not married to emperors, a large reason is to reduce interference factors during inheritance.

For example, Li Shimin, when he wants to inherit the throne, he can decide which son he will pass it on to.

But if he took a Western Turkic princess and gave birth to a son, then when he wanted to establish a prince, Western Turkic directly sent 20 troops to wander around the border, saying that I will not interfere in your internal affairs, but you must give Western Turkic The bloodline prince supports the scene.

But everyone knows that as long as the prince with Western Turkic blood is not established, they will fight directly, so what will Li Shimin do?

Of course, Li Shimin was wise and martial, and he led the Xuanjia army to kill all the Western Turks.

But what if it's not Li Shimin, but some other ordinary ordinary emperor?Can it withstand the blackmail of the Western Turks?

As long as he couldn't bear it, he would definitely take a step back, fearing that he would end up watching this child of foreign blood come to power.

Therefore, ancient China would rather choose to control those foreign races through marriage, and rarely marry foreign princesses.

After all, the current royal inheritance itself is a bad enough thing, there is really no need to add more variables.

Therefore, it is unfortunate for the individual to marry a princess, and it is necessary to carry the peace of the two countries on the delicate shoulders of a woman.

But for the collective, this is the cheapest way that the wise men of this era can come up with to ensure the stability of the frontier.

Of course, as a latecomer, it is natural to say that Datang's attitude towards marriage is too weak.

If I were to change myself, I would definitely slaughter all the foreign races around me, shout loudly, no land, no marriage, no tribute, no vassal, the emperor guards the gate, the king dies - and then I really hanged on the crooked neck tree up.

The reality is that the level of social productivity does not allow Huaxia to dispatch troops to border areas within three months.

To be honest, let alone the border areas of the country, even in a city, as long as the government loses its management power, there will be gangster-like civil organizations born in the cracks of the city to fill the gap, let alone the border areas of the country.

Unless the Westward Movement is carried out like the United States, the local people are directly killed, and they occupy the local area to live and produce locally, otherwise in the areas beyond the reach of the central forces, similar alien races will soon be born again due to social inertia.

Maybe they changed their names, but their social system will be passed down by inertia and continue to be a new uneasy factor for the dynasty.

Therefore, in terms of the productivity of the Tang Dynasty, the best way to maintain the stability of the border areas through peace is the best way to meet the productivity at that time.

Although from the perspective of future generations, this matter seems aggrieved, but in reality, if you don't follow the road of enfeoffment, then this matter is inevitable.

If you don't do this, you will be tied your hands and feet, and you will lose a trump card that can deal with alien races.

But it will be different if you take the road of enfeoffment. Out of the infinite pursuit of the land, even if I call you grandpa now and endure a moment of anger, it is for the sake of calling you grandson in the future, and even swallowing you up with your bones .

For example, in the Warring States period, Qin Tunyiqu was almost done in this way. A force that could destroy the Great Qin was eaten up by the Great Qin Snake.

After all, it is still limited by the level of productivity. Not to mention that it only takes 24 hours to deploy the army to any corner of the country as it is now. Even if the army can reach the current position of the rebels in a month, it is basically within this range. There is no need to maintain local stability through women's kinship.

At this moment, Xue Rengui saw that the Tubo army did not step into the land where he had built Jingguan, but chose to retreat slowly, and he was relieved. After arranging a team of troops to investigate, he took the wounded and dead soldiers with him. Returned to Xihai County.

Back in Xihai County, Wang Xuance approached Xue Rengui immediately, and immediately asked Xue Rengui, "Have you encountered an enemy? How is the situation? Do you need help?"

"Speak slowly!" Xue Rengui took a sip of hot wine to warm up his body, let out a long breath, and said:

"I met the remnants of Tuyuhun who were attacked by Tubo and Zhangxiong. According to the civilians who took out Tuyuhun, all the Tuyuhun tribes south of Dafeichuan were attacked. Those who did not escape here were either captured and made slaves. Or die!"

"How about the casualties of the soldiers?" Wang Xuance continued to ask.

"Fortunately, about a hundred people were damaged, and the rest are mostly minor injuries!" Xue Rengui said, "I will report it as soon as possible and give them enough compensation."

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "I'll deliver this official document to Dubiejia. How's the fighting power between Tubo and Zhang Zhuong?"

"Although the Zhang Zhung cavalry has the talent of the war department, it seems more like it has been passed down, rather than fighting for it.

Charged head-on with the Xuefu soldiers, and collapsed without persisting for a quarter of an hour.

Their ability is to make the arrows they shoot turn into little Jinpeng. It should be a dual attack of will and physics.

According to the arrows of the Xuefu soldiers, even if the arrows are blocked with a shield, there will be a slight sting! "

"An attack that has both physical and willpower, didn't it hit your arms!"

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Wang Xuance breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Speaking of which, did you take it apart automatically?"

"The self-adaptive talent has been disassembled and derived into equipment self-adaptation and will self-adaptation!" Wang Xuance said,
"It allows soldiers to quickly adapt to various equipment on the battlefield, as well as the self-adaptation of will that can persist as they reach the limit.

I would like to thank Lord Wei, if it wasn't for his book of war to point out the direction, I don't know how long it would take to get to this point. "

"One into two is simple, but two into one, have you ever thought about how to return the split talent to self-adaptation itself, so that the adaptive talent can truly come to perfection?" Wang Xuance asked Xue Rengui.

"Use my warrior talent as a bridge to re-communicate the two!" Xue Rengui said, "I have awakened my war department talent, and it is still easy to use on the battlefield!"

"Huh?" Wang Xuance was somewhat unexpected when he heard Xue Rengui's words, but it made sense when he thought about it carefully.

For generals like Xue Rengui who charge into the battle, it is much easier to awaken the talents of warriors than those who sit in the center and command.

Even in the Tang army, most of the generals who basically charged forward, such as Xue Wanche, Li Daozong, Cheng Yaojin, etc., had the talent of warriors. Use the army array.

"What's your talent?" Wang Xuance asked Xue Rengui.

"I'll call it a concerted effort for the time being!" Xue Rengui said, "As long as everyone has the same will and strives for victory, the overall organizational strength of the legion will be greatly improved, and the combat power of the legion will also be greatly improved.

But if there are noises in the army, and even the army's morale is slack, my legion talent will not be able to use it. It can be regarded as the icing on the cake talent! "

Xue Rengui felt that his awakened talent would not be able to make a comeback at all. On the contrary, this talent was mostly used to fight against the wind. For an army, it is very important to be able to fight against the wind, but it is more important to be able to fight against the wind. what!
"I see!" Wang Xuance nodded and said, "If your talent is like this, then I think you have to turn to the back for help!"

"Ask for help?" Xue Rengui was a little taken aback when he heard Wang Xuance's words, and didn't understand Wang Xuance's words.

"You are not suitable for leading cavalry, but more suitable for leading heavy infantry. Since you need the soldiers to perform stably, you should give the soldiers a sense of security so that their performance will always approach the upper limit, or even the extreme!" Wang Xuance suggested.

Xue Rengui heard Wang Xuance shake his head and said, "How can heavy infantry compete with cavalry on this plateau.

Even if we can fight against the cavalry, only the imperial court can forge heavy armor, and we haven't made any outstanding achievements, so how can we spend fifty catties of iron on each of us! "

To be honest, if Xuanjiawei wanted fifty catties of the mutant light armor, then the Ministry of Industry would definitely find a way to solve it.

But don't think about the school soldiers stationed on the frontier. I am thankful that the court can replace the cowhide armor.

"I will write to the King of Wei to ask about this point." Wang Xuance said, "The King of Wei has a lot of money, so he can always think of a way!"

"King Wei? It is impossible for the court to allow King Wei to forge armor!" Xue Rengui said with a wry smile.

"We are stationed at the frontier, what we need is to discuss it with the King of Wei, and what the King of Wei can give will definitely be given to us.

If he doesn't give it to us, it means that he really can't give it to us, we just have to find a way by ourselves!
However, at least King Wei was right in one point of judgment. Tubo has already threatened the border of the Tang Dynasty, and this will be our future opponent.

So we have to do our best to prepare for everything! "Wang Xuance couldn't help sighing, "King Wei's eyes really see far away!" "

"Do you think Tubo will come again?" Xue Rengui asked back when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"You have also been in the frontier for so long, don't you know the habits of the foreign races on the border.

Those who have not been beaten, which ones will obediently stop at the border.

They just haven't decided to fight us Datang yet! "

Wang Xuance affirmed, "If we take it lightly, the people of Tuyuhun may be our future!"

"Then I can't relax anymore, I have to continue to train the soldiers first!" Xue Rengui jumped up involuntarily when he heard this.

"Not so long ago, what about those Tuyuhun people who escaped from Tubo?" Wang Xuance asked.

"What do you want to do?" Xue Rengui looked at Wang Xuance suspiciously.

Wang Xuance smiled and said, "We need to let the people here in the West Sea know how terrible Tubo is, so that it will be convenient for us to fight against Tubo in the future.

Even targeting Tubo, we can recruit some people from the surrounding tribes to receive our military training.

At least let them understand our military deployment, otherwise, do you really want to rely on our few academic soldiers to stop Tubo's long-planned attack! "

"Is this called hanging people and punishing crimes?"

"No, this is called pushing the boat along with the flow!" Wang Xuance replied approvingly, it seems that he has worked hard in private recently and knows how to slap people and punish crimes.
