The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1583 Tubo's Confidence Greatly Increased
The higher the terrain, the lower the temperature. This is a deep experience for the soldiers of the Song Army who entered Tubo, because they suffered a lot here.

"I regret it at the beginning. I didn't listen to His Highness's advice and caused today's big defeat. I have no face to face Your Majesty and Your Highness." Wang Quanbin had already received the imperial court's order to withdraw troops at this time, but he was not feeling well. After all, he had suffered a big defeat. .

Thinking of Zhao Xu's advice to him at the beginning, I really regretted it. This defeat was no small matter. It was not only a shame for the country, but also a major stain in my life. Because of an expedition, his forehead will become a failed general.

Zhao Xu had told him at the beginning that he had to be careful, and he must not be careless in the slightest, otherwise it would cause immeasurable losses, but he didn't listen at the time, and unexpectedly it would become a nightmare for his military career.

There is everything in the world, but there is no medicine for regret, and even if there is medicine for regret, there is no place to buy it. Sixty thousand, sixty thousand of the soldiers who followed him died in one fell swoop.

This is 6 people, not 6 pigs. Even if it is [-] pigs, it will be very difficult to stand and be chopped down, but these people are indeed dead, [-] people.

[-] living people just fell here. Wang Quanbin was really heartbroken. If it wasn't for his own carelessness, which caused his brother to bury his bones in a foreign land, it was his own fault.

If I had been more careful, this kind of thing would never have happened, but now this kind of thing happened, this is the most unacceptable thing for me, I am a general, but now it has become a shame.

"It's all my fault. Tens of thousands of brothers came out with me. I didn't expect half of them to go back in the end. I'm sorry brothers. You take your brothers back. The imperial court has a decree for us to repair the land of Shu."

Wang Quanbin's sad face made people go back by themselves, but he didn't say that he wanted to go back, he was just discussing with the supervisor, asking him to take the rest of the people back.

"General, what do you mean, you are not going back with us, what are you going to do?"

"I don't have the face to go back to see my brothers. I decided to stay here and be with my brothers forever." Isn't Wang Quanbin pretentious? As a general, he is also flesh and blood, and his own is really a failure.

"General Wang Quanbin, His Highness has ordered you to take the remaining troops and return to Sichuan immediately, and those who violate the order will follow the military law."

This person is really not an ordinary person. He is Dong Zhenhai. This great god came to announce the decree. It can be seen that Zhao Xu attaches great importance to Wang Quanbin.

Wang Quanbin also knew that Zhao Xu was in charge of the country now, and all major affairs of the court were decided by Zhao Xu, which was equivalent to the emperor's will.

Moreover, Dong Zhenhai specifically said that it was Zhao Xu who said that Wang Quanbin was asked to take these troops back in person. That's right, Wang Quanbin did not appoint anyone else. This was a death order.

"I said, General Wang, why are you still not ready to obey His Highness's orders? I'm telling you, His Highness said when I came here, even if you feel guilty in your heart, you have to go back to the territory of Song Dynasty before we talk about it." , now your duty is to bring our Song Army back to the territory of the Song Dynasty safely, this is a death order."

Dong Zhenhai has to reiterate the seriousness of this matter. This is the first order Zhao Xu issued after supervising the country. You must implement it to the letter. Otherwise, even if it is for the court and the authority of the prince, you Wang Quanbin will not And it didn't end well.

"I said General Wang, we are not outsiders anymore, but let me tell you, this is the first official order issued by Your Highness to oversee the country, you must not disrespect Your Highness, or you will really be finished."

Seeing that Wang Quanbin didn't make any movement, Dong Zhenhai also began to persuade him, seeing that he had a good personal relationship with Wang Quanbin, so he had to dissuade him.

On the other hand, Tubo also knew the news that Song Dynasty was going to withdraw its troops. Now Tubo's Dalun is thinking in front of the map, and Tubo's Dalun is still the Garqin Mausoleum.

"Okay, since the Song army is going to retreat, let them retreat, and we don't want to send troops to pursue them."

Garqin Mausoleum immediately made a decision not to pursue it. Many ministers and generals didn't understand what it was going to do. If they didn't pursue it, Weimen wouldn't pursue it. loss.

If it is based on a more favorable terrain, it is not impossible to eat up the remaining Song army in one bite. This is the most incomprehensible to everyone.

"Dalun, this is an opportunity. Now that the morale of the Song army is at its weakest, if we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, we will definitely win a big victory and teach the Song Dynasty an unforgettable lesson. Moreover, we can also take advantage of the momentum of the big victory to bring The surrounding forces are unified."

Tubo is different from the Tubo of Songtsan Gampo in history. This is true that the strength of Tubo has been greatly reduced, and it is not as strong as it was at that time. This is when Tubo is only one-third of the power of Tubo at that time.

At this time, being able to defeat the Song army, which is far superior to itself, is absolutely good news for Tubo, and it is also an excellent opportunity. Why do you say that.

Because in 960 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty was established.Since the ruling center of the Song Dynasty was in Henan, it had little contact with the Tibetan tribes in U-Tsang and other places far away from the Han nationality area, but it had relatively close contacts with the Gansu, Qing, Sichuan, and Dian Tibetan tribes in the Han nationality areas.

Not long after the founding of the Song Dynasty, a descendant of a Tubo tribal leader, Ji Siluo, established a political power in the Huangshui River Basin of Qinghai Province centered on Miaochuan and Qingtang (now Xining). This was a place where Tubo and Qiang were the main body at that time. feudal regime.Gu Siluo sent envoys many times to pay tribute to the Song emperor and beg for official positions.

This is the origin of this Tubo, Zhao Kuangyin also canonized this leader, and actually bowed his head to the Song Dynasty, which shows that they are not strong enough, but now they have defeated the [-] troops of the Song Dynasty, regardless of their own strength. As long as they can defeat the Song court, it will be a huge capital for them.

At first they cooperated with Xixia to strengthen themselves, but unexpectedly, the Liao Kingdom withdrew halfway, resulting in the destruction of Xixia, and Tubo was also blocked by the Song army, and could not move an inch further.

It can be seen how powerful the Song army is, so Xixia was wiped out by the Song army, but the Song army took the initiative to attack Tubo, and was directly defeated by Tubo, losing nearly 6 horses!
This greatly increased the confidence of Tubo. The Song army was defeated by them. Now that they are retreating, we should go after them. Beating the dog in the water is not always the case, and we should seize the opportunity.

This is not only the case with Tubo, but any country that has achieved great victories like Tubo should do the same. Their thinking is normal.
