Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 475 Fake Negotiation
Even Sun Xiangfu thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think of a better strategy than Fang Xuanling's plan. In the end, he had to nod and agree with Fang Xuanling's plan.

Time is running out, Sun Xiangfu wants to stay in the Weinan organization, after Fang Xuanling agreed with him, he took the blueprint he had drawn earlier, and rushed to Chang'an. This is a plan of millions of people, and it is a test of the imperial court's organization If it wasn't for a series of reforms, the work efficiency of the imperial court would have been many times higher than before, Fang Xuanling would not have agreed to do so.

Therefore, when Fang Xuanling returned to Chang'an City, all the departments of the imperial court, all the in-service and idle officials were all mobilized. This is a super war related to the survival of the country. The number of participants in the war may be the largest in history. Scale, moreover, there must be no omissions, if something goes wrong, the once powerful Tang Dynasty may be in danger of destroying the country.

As a result, many flying cavalry troops, Qianniuwei, took off their iron armor and only wore ordinary clothes on duty. More than a dozen gates in Chang'an City began to receive a large number of people who came from all directions to escape the war. The carts will be requisitioned directly by the imperial court after reaching the gate of the city. All the young and old, regardless of gender, will be asked when they enter the city, whether they are willing to participate in this war to defend the Tang Dynasty and the country.

Those who agree, go to the Longshouyuan school field to gather by themselves. There will be sergeants who will teach them simple formation, passing stones, shouting slogans, etc.Those who disagree, it doesn't matter, helping the army cook and fire in the city can be regarded as contributing to the country.

On the first day alone, as many as 50 peasants reported to Longshouyuan.

Why do so many people choose to join the war?Ideological education and cultural propaganda work are done well, and the results are reflected.

Since Fang Xuanling and Manchaozai decided to fight this war, all the members of the art troupe were mobilized. They would sing patriotic songs all over the city, and they would go to the people to explain the impact of the War of Resistance on the country and on the people themselves. The importance of this will soon ignite the patriotism and family love of the people.

Our own home, if we don't stand up to protect it, who else can we count on?

Since the city of Chang'an is now full of people, this kind of sentiment quickly spread among all the people. Once the acquaintances make a decision, the rest of the people are unwilling to be cowards and be looked down upon by others, so , Soon, a trend was formed, the young and strong people in the city, as long as they felt that they could do their best, they all went to the Longshouyuan school to sign up and participate in the training.

The next day, as more people came to Chang'an to take refuge, more people signed up. By noon, the total number had exceeded 120 million. Many of these people were eleven or twelve years old. Women account for at least [-]% to [-]% of the total. Qin Qiong, Dugu Mou and others accept all orders. Anyway, their task is to carry a basket full of stones, line up at the back of the line, and the stones in the front row If they are cast out, they just pass forward one by one.

On the third day, more than 100 million workers in Weinan, who had undergone three-day formation training, set off wearing armor, holding weapons, and pushing carts full of firewood.

At the same time, in the city of Chang'an, tens of thousands of carts and more than one million young men left the city with all the weapons and equipment in the arsenals of various armies.

The power of the people is infinite. When the people are united, nothing can stop them. The Red Army of later generations has proved to the whole world that millet plus rifles can also win the war. What's more, their equipment is comparable to that of Tubo cavalry. It seems that it is not millet plus rifle, but advanced several levels.

When the more than 200 million people arrived at the designated position and began to line up under the command of the military academy, the Tubo cavalry brigade finally entered the Guanzhong.

They came in such a hurry that they didn't have any decent organization and specific combat plan at all. Of course, they were in a relatively barbaric state, and it was impossible for them to have as strict an organization and strategic plan as the Han people. ".

On the northern section of Baoxie Road, in the center of the cement official road in Chencang County, Fang Xuanling led more than ten riders, erected several Tang dragon flags, and stood in the middle of the road.

A group of Tubo cavalry stepped forward and chattered a lot. Finally, an official from the Siyi Hall of the Ministry of Rites next to Fang Xuanling only said a word, and the cavalry stopped and reported.

The general idea is 'we are here to negotiate'.

Soon, Wang Lin, whose ass was almost blown up during this period, and Lu Dongzan, the real coach of this army, arrived at the front of the Tubo army.

"Fang Xiang, it's really a surprise to see you here!"

Although Wang Lin yelled the word "Fang Xiang" on his mouth, but on his expression, he looked arrogant. It seemed that the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was very worthless.

"I was really surprised to see Prince Wang in the Tubo army! I don't know, that is the commander of the Tubo army, Lu Dongzan."

With Fang Xuanling's eyes, how could he fail to recognize Lu Dongzan who was protected by the Tubo cavalry stars in the center like a moon!

When he said that, he just satirized Wang Lin. Even if he took refuge in Tubo, he didn't become the talker.

"Fang Xuanling, your official position in the Tang Dynasty is the same as mine in Tubo. So, are you representing the Tang court to negotiate with Tubo?"

For Fang Xuanling's little move, Lu Dongzan liked it very much. His wisdom is not low, and Tubo will not let the warlord forces or dynasties in the Central Plains claim their vassals in name like the previous Turks. He needs Yes, there are practical benefits.

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "Of course it represents the imperial court. The old man is now the prime minister of the country."

"Hehe, I, Tubo, is not the Turkic people I was before. Now, the capital of your Tang Dynasty is about to be under the control of our army. That is to say, everything in Chang'an will belong to me, Tubo. What do you have to talk to me about?" ? Surrender to me Tubo early, maybe you can save your life."

Lu Dongzan didn't quite trust Fang Xuanling. He knew that with the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, it was far from the time to surrender, so he said these words to Fang Xuanling in a somewhat contemptuous tone. , to keep him suppressed.

"Everything in Chang'an belongs to Tubo? Could it be that the prime minister thought that Chang'an could be conquered with a mere 10,000+ Tubo cavalry? Or could it be said that Chang'an represented everything in the Tang Dynasty?"

Fang Xuanling shook his head while talking, "It's absolutely impossible, my Majesty the Tang Dynasty is still here, hundreds of thousands of troops are still there, and millions of households are still here, you are just laying down a relatively empty Chang'an City will also lose troops and lose generals, not to mention the 30 troops led by His Majesty, the Li Ji Army who conquered Tuyuhun, the Niu Jinda Army who conquered the various ministries of the Party, and the Chai Shao Army who conquered the various ministries of Yunnan. Any army may not lose. Give you this Tubo army.

Therefore, if you forcefully attack Chang'an, you may be able to defeat it, but the price is that you will be completely immortal with my Tang Dynasty. At that time, your Tubo army will not be able to return to the plateau safely, and the entire army may be wiped out. "

Fang Xuanling's analysis made Lu Dongzan stunned. Not to mention, based on the battle reports he had received about Tuyuhun and various party ministries, the combat power of the Tang army should not be underestimated. , such a local tyrant's equipment, no dynasty has played before, and their results, okay!Thinking of those victories, Lu Dongzan suddenly didn't have much confidence in his tired soldiers who had been on the road for more than a month.

"So what? In the words of your Han people, now I am Daozu, and you are the meat of my sword. I can cut it however I want. Otherwise, you wouldn't come to our army to ask for negotiations." .”

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling said with a look of unwillingness on his face, "That's right, it was indeed my Datang's strategic mistakes that gave you an opportunity, so we are willing to bear the losses caused by the mistakes."

"Then tell me, what kind of loss can you afford?" Lu Dongzan asked with interest.

"What your Zanpu wants is nothing more than money and land, but what I want in the Tang Dynasty is the lives of the people, so as long as you Tubo promise not to hurt the lives of the people in the Tang Dynasty, any conditions are We can talk..."

"Lu Dongzan, don't listen to him. He is delaying the time. Chang'an must be mobilizing all the king's troops to prepare for the defense. This person should be killed."

When Fang Xuanling was about to raise a bargaining chip with Lu Dongzan, Wang Lin interrupted him with a loud drink.

He planned to instigate the Tubo army to attack Chang'an, but he didn't want any land or wealth.He has been enjoying the days of prosperity and wealth since he was born, and he is already bored with it. What he wants is to be happy and enmity, to torture to death all the people he doesn't like.

Lu Dongzan was very upset about Wang Lin calling himself by his first name. However, he had to be a little worried about what Wang Lin said. After all, although the Tubo army was powerful, they went deep alone. According to the plan, they were going to loot the whole of Chang'an. It's not about occupying Chang'an. What they really want is the party ministries near the Tubo plateau, and all the areas west of Tuyuhun.

Seeing Lu Dongzan's puzzled expression, Fang Xuanling immediately said, "If the Prime Minister thinks that Fang is delaying, we can talk while walking. Anyway, all the roads in our Guanzhong are made of cement. This place is less than three hundred miles away from Chang'an, and with the foot strength of your Tubo cavalry, you can reach the city in a day or two."

Fang Xuanling said so, Wang Lin couldn't say much for a while, if he had such high wisdom, he wouldn't be in today's field.

Seeing Fang Xuanling's sincerity and attitude, Lu Dongzan was quite moved. Now, the initiative is in his hands, and he is going to Chang'an anyway, so he might as well listen to Fang Xuanling's proposal along the way.

Soon, the Tubo army marched forward again, while Fang Xuanling and others were surrounded by a group of Tubo cavalry in the middle army, and they followed Lu Dongzan's horse and rode away.

"Lu Dong praised the Prime Minister. My whole Tang Dynasty agreed that we should live in harmony with you, Tubo. After all, you are located on a plateau, and our Han army can't go up at all. In terms of offense and defense, we have always been passive. If Allowing the war to break out from time to time will only increase the casualties between our two countries, so we intend to take this opportunity to promote a policy that allows our two countries to live in peace from now on."

"Being in peace?"

If Fang Xuanling hadn't helped Lu Dongzan analyze Datang's military strength before, he would definitely think these four words are a bit ridiculous. Now, his army is approaching the city, and he will soon take Li Tang's capital.

But now, he has to seriously think about it. The gap between Tubo's national strength and Li Tang's is still too big. The fight is just a momentary pleasure. It is estimated that as soon as the various armies of the Tang Dynasty return to the army, they will have to go back. Going to the plateau, it is better to take the opportunity to get some more affordable benefits.
