Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 368 The mentality is broken

After Wang Xuance wrote the report, he sent someone to Du Chuke who had been waiting for news, and then reported it to Li Shimin after passing through his hands.

But at this moment, he turned his head to Xue Rengui thoughtfully and said, "How about the casualties of your soldiers?"

"Except for the loss of more than a dozen people in the fight with the Shangyong Department, the rest are minor injuries. The Tubo Shangyong Department should have increased their own strength. If they use hammers instead of blades, they may be damaged. Major General!" Xue Rengui said.

Hearing this, Wang Xuance breathed a sigh of relief, "It's not like you don't know how rare iron is here on the plateau.

It is impossible for Tubo to have so much iron to forge a hammer. Even if it is forged, who will it be used against!
They have scimitars, spears, and arrows, which make the most efficient use of resources! "

Xue Rengui thought for a while when he heard Wang Xuance's words, but felt that what Wang Xuance said was reasonable.

The development of civilization, or the development of weapons must always be logical or targeted.

There is such a lack of excellent blacksmith craftsmanship in the plateau area, so even a little iron will be used on the blade as much as possible.

After all, fighting between tribes, even if it is a little more advanced, killing each other among slave owners, it is enough to rely on sharp knives, and there is no need for heavy weapons at all.

Therefore, when I was wearing heavy armor and fighting against the Tubo warriors, their warriors were quite brave, and even Songtsan Gampo had the talent of a monarch, but facing the desperately thick steel, they really had nothing to do. Method!
"After this battle, the soldiers of the school have improved a lot. It's a pity that if Tubo can be stronger, killing 30 Tubo bandits is just a complete fusion of self-adaptation and weapon mastery, rather than letting us There is leapfrog progress!"

Xue Rengui felt a little helpless when he said that, "Sure enough, Tubo Man is still too weak to be worth a whetstone."

"What about the specific effect?" Hearing Xue Rengui's complaint, Wang Xuance frowned and asked.

"Chang Geng, come and show Xuan Ce!" Xue Rengui said to Tian Chang Geng beside him.

"You have a lot of things to do!" Tian Changgeng came out in a hurry. As one of the guards of the Wei Palace, he was not as good as these two guys, but in terms of status, he was no worse than these two guys.

However, Tian Changgeng did not refuse. At this moment, he was wearing a 160-jin shield armor, and suddenly he did a 360-degree backflip on the spot, rolling continuously, and finally stood firmly on the ground.

Except for the thick palm prints on the snow, no one would believe that he was able to perform such movements in a 160-jin armor.

"Why are you so flexible?" Seeing this scene, Wang Xuance couldn't help but widen his eyes.

But it's really the defense of the heavy infantry and the flexibility of the light infantry, which makes it possible for other fighters to get along.

"No! It can only be said that we have completely controlled the armor, not just adapting to it." Xue Rengui said helplessly,
"If Tubo is stronger, or if they are a two-talented war department, then we should be able to advance if we kill each other head-on."

"Isn't the 30 army not enough for you to grow up?" Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Wang Xuance frowned.

"Because the protection of the armor is so good, there is no feeling of just fighting for an inch between life and death, which makes it a bit slow to grow up.

We are strong not because our soldiers are strong, but because our armor is strong! "Xue Rengui was helpless,

"As for our soldiers, it can only be said that this war will allow the soldiers to truly complete the transformation from students to soldiers!"

"Knowing that you are very powerful, there is no need to emphasize this point!"

Hearing Xue Rengui's words, Wang Xuance patted Xue Rengui's shoulder and said,
"In addition, replace this armor with fish-scale armor, and look towards the Dongnv Country in the west with three horses!"

"Dongnvguo?" Hearing this, Xue Rengui couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

"Hmm!" Wang Xuance thought, "Tubo's attack on our Tang Dynasty was divided into two groups.

All the way to Songpan, I don't know how the fight is going, the other way is us.

And the only way for the two sides to meet is the East Girl Kingdom. You need to cross the Wuhai, Jishi Mountain, and Zishan Mountain to see if you can occupy the East Girl Kingdom.

As long as a guard post is built in this Dongnv Country, it will become a double barrier between Qinghai and Jiannan Road.

It will be easier to deal with Tubo in the future, so this position is very important.

If you can take it, you can take it. If you can't take it, it is better to be occupied by small clans such as Dongnu, Dangxiang, Bailan, etc., than to fall into the hands of Tubo! "

"Why didn't you say this earlier!" Xue Rengui couldn't help muttering when he heard Wang Xuance's words.

"I didn't think of it at the time!" Wang Xuance shrugged and said, "If I think about it, I will keep chasing after it."

Wang Xuance really didn't expect it at first, because Wang Xuance's ability in strategy is not as good as his tactical command ability.

But the lack of strategic ability does not mean that Wang Xuance could not have imagined it, at most it is a little slower than others thought.

Especially when writing the memorial, Wang Xuance was thinking about whether he could get more meritorious service, so he thought of this, and wanted to occupy the position of Dongnvguo as much as possible.

"The place can be occupied if there is a first mover. If there is no chance, let it be. There is no need to force it!" Wang Xuance said.

"Understood!" Xue Rengui agreed, and asked the academy soldiers to change their equipment, and the configuration of one man and three horses galloped towards Dongnvguo.

Although two days had been wasted, Xue Rengui didn't feel that he couldn't catch up.

In fact, Songtsen Gampo was indeed hit by an arrow, but the arrow was not fatal.

It's just that Songtsan Gampo understood that even if he showed his talent as a monarch again, as long as he showed it, he might be shot again.

But with just such a moment of hesitation, the Tubo army was defeated and could no longer hold on.

Songtsan Gampo immediately asked his confidantes to pretend that he was retreating, while he took Chishan Yangdun and other core confidants to climb the mountain and escape. After waiting for the material storage point in the rear, Songtsan Gampo had time to calm down and recall the failure.

"Chisang Yangdun, Tang Jun's strength is far beyond our imagination! We can't beat them, and now Tubo can't beat them at all!"

Songtsan Gampo calmed down and said to Chisang Yang, "It's my fault. I let 30 ethnic groups be defeated by the Tang army!"

Songtsen Gampo drew out his scimitar, raised it high, and said loudly, "Now I can only apologize with death!"

"Zanpu!" Chisang Yangdun threw himself on Songtsan Gampo, grabbed Songtsan Gampo's knife, and said excitedly:

"The power of the Tang Dynasty is unheard of. This is a natural failure. If it weren't for the minister's wrong plan, how could such a scene appear.

If Zanpu wanted to kill him, he would kill Chisang Yangdun, how could he abandon his fate and give up Tubo? The only one who can save Tubo at this moment is Zanpu! "

"Chisang Yangdun! Thanks to you for alerting me, this battle was my mistake, and I will make mistakes again and again in this situation!"

Songtsen Gampo said as he pulled out the crossbow arrow and said,

"When I go back, I must put this crossbow on my tent, and always remember today's defeat!".

"Zamp!"

The two are deeply in love at this moment, which makes the defeated generals around them continue to cheer up.

After all, Songtsan Gampo still had the courage to make a comeback. As his subordinate, he felt somewhat comforted.

Songtsan Gampo calmed down, and said to Chishan Yangdun in a deep voice, "Yangdun, tell me what should happen next!"

"We should immediately send envoys to pay tribute to Datang, so that we can stop fighting, and even restore Dongnvguo as a barrier between us and Datang.

As for other indemnities, it doesn't matter. Datang has always had the ambition to swallow the sky, and we, a small family in the south, can accommodate us! "

Chisang Yangdun took a deep breath and continued, "The envoy walked from the direction of Qinghai, and directly asked Wang Xuance to send the envoy to Datang.

This is a matter of proving his military exploits, and Wang Xuance will definitely pay attention to this matter!
Secondly, let Lu Dongzan give an order that he must guard Dongnvguo to prevent the Tang army from driving straight in.

And Zanpu, you first go back to Luoxie City to mobilize the tribes of Tubo, and make a gesture of fighting Datang with the power of the whole country. "

"I know!" Songtsan Gampo couldn't help but take a deep look at Chisang Yangdun, and said,
"However, I have to go to Lu Dongzan in person. Although you are good for me, if there is a gap between me and Lu Dongzan, Tubo will never be able to catch up with Datang again.

Today I am not yet a princess of the Tang Dynasty, but I hope that my descendants will one day be able to become a princess of the Tang Dynasty! "

"Zanpu..." Chisang Yangdun couldn't help being anxious when he heard Songtsan Gampo's words.

Because from a political point of view, Songtsen Gampo's 30 troops were all sent away in one wave. Even if the basic disk is not broken, it will definitely be severely damaged.

It's not that Chisang Yangdun doubts Lu Dongzan, but when it comes time to test people's hearts, this in itself is a loss.

Moreover, Lu Dongzan was also a big family in Tubo. Lu Dongzan killed Songtsen Gampo. Although Tubo would be turbulent, Lu Dongzan had the opportunity to praise Pu.

That's why Chisang Yangdun asked Songtsan Gampo to return to his hometown. Was it to guard against the Tang army?
No, Tang Jun is not interested in such a bitter and cold place at all. The one who really needs to be on guard is Lu Dongzan, who is now fully bearded!

"I know what I want to do." Songtsan Gampo said with a smile to Chisang Yangdun,
"Nalu Dongzan is also a hero of our Tubo, don't underestimate him!

Are the four of you here with me out of interest?No, it's because we all hope that Tubo will make a loud and loud cry in this world! "

When Chishan Yangdun heard Songtsan Gampo's words, he pursed his lips, and finally saluted Songtsan Gampo, "Zunzan Puling!"

Soon Songtsan Gampo sent an envoy, and after being met by Xue Rengui, he directly sent someone to deliver him to Wang Xuance.

Wang Xuance threw it to Du Chuke, and Du Chuke packed it, hurriedly caught up with the memorial, and entered Chang'an together.

At this time, Songtsan Gampo personally entered Lu Dongzan's camp and told himself that he was defeated and that Lu Dongzan was required to stay in Dongnvguo, at least until the letter from the court seeking peace arrived.

As for Lu Dongzan, who was annoyed by Hou Junji's tactics, he was not afraid of a decisive battle against Lu Dongzan, but it was very annoying that Lu Dongzan did not dare to send troops to drive away the elites who harassed him like this.

After all, if it is not an elite, facing Tang Jun is just delivering food.

Therefore, Lu Dongzan's choice was to retreat while fighting, and he gradually retreated to the vicinity of Dongnvguo to avoid harassment of his food roads and logistics.

If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to learn from Lu Dongzan's method of retreating while maintaining order, and allowing soldiers to go to war at any time.

But relying on his calm talent, Lu Dongzan is absolutely the best in the world in terms of retreat.

After all, the generals of Bilu Dongzan may not need to retreat, and when the weaker than Lu Dongzan retreats, they may disappear immediately.

After Songtsan Gampo came to tell Lu Dongzan about this in person, before Lu Dongzan agreed, Songtsan Gampo fainted directly in Lu Dongzan's camp.

What can Lu Dongzan do, he must try his best to help Songtsen Gampo!Otherwise, Lu Dongzan would not be able to speak clearly even if his mouth was all over his body.

After all, in the final analysis, Lu Dongzan himself, or his entire tribe may have the intention of seeking power, but he really has no intention of usurping the throne.

Even Lu Dongzan was deeply afraid that Zanpu would die in his camp, then he would really be a different person inside and out.

Even if Songtsan Gampo was defeated in this war, he couldn't die here!

Therefore, Lu Dongzan could only take care of Lu Songzan Gampo first, and then occupy the Dongnv Country in the shortest time, and stay here first.

But when Lu Dongzan's order to station in Dongnv Country was issued, Songtsan Gampo confirmed Lu Dongzan's intentions, and decisively told Lu Dongzan that he would go back and get reinforcements to support him. Lu Dongzan felt that there was no problem. That is to let Songtsan Gampo leave.

But at this time, Xue Rengui chased here and saw that the Tubo army was heavily guarded, so he did not attack again, but chose to withdraw.

After all, I have already obtained enough meritorious service, and it would be better to occupy Dongnvguo, but Xue Rengui has no chance and doesn't have too much obsession.

By the way, as for where Hou Junji's troops went...

The main reason is that Songpan is considered to be the junction of the plateau and Jiannan Road. The southeastern extension of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has an average altitude of about 3000 to 4000 meters, but it is different when it comes to Yushu. Enough to cause altitude sickness.

Hou Junji's troops naturally fell ill.

What made Hou Junji even more troublesome was that he was not Li Jing, who put up an army formation and put on the army to directly master the adaptive talent, and then force the soldiers to adapt, then he had no choice but to let the soldiers suffer slowly.

The only thing that made Hou Junji feel lucky was that the doctors in the medical camp kept him from being helpless.

But it will take time for the soldiers to fully recover, because the medicines for the plateau are not prepared enough. After all, no one thought of chasing the plateau at the beginning!
Therefore, Hou Junji and Xue Rengui never met at all, but Hou Junji saw that Lu Dongzan didn't run too far and only ran to Dongnv Country, so he set up camp on the spot, waiting for the morale and state of the soldiers. Recover, and then continue to crusade against Tubo!
After more than a month, the soldiers in the camp had recovered a lot. At this moment, Hou Junji's pride increased greatly, and he said to the soldiers under his command, "I will finally push Tubo into the Dongnv Country after overcoming all difficulties. As long as we conquer Dongnü Country, Tubo will be destroyed by Tang Dynasty, and I, Xu Er, will plunder it for three days!"

Li Chengqian looked at Hou Junji's arrogance, and his eyes were filled with admiration. Next, as long as Hou Junji defeats Lu Dongzan, his meritorious deeds will come rolling in!
At this moment, a servant finally rushed to the Tang army barracks, took out the imperial decree in his hand and said,
"The 30 Tubo army was defeated by Xihai County King Xuance, and the entire army has been annihilated. Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo submitted a petition to surrender, and the sage has approved. The two countries will stop fighting and no longer fight rashly!"

Hou Junji couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and Li Chengqian couldn't help but grab the servant and asked with cannibal eyes, "What did you say!"

"Prince... Our Tang Dynasty has already won!" The servant looked at the prince tremblingly, not knowing what he said wrong.

"Ah!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but let out the craziest roar at this moment!
