Chapter 470 Plunder

"I see that Yazhou is no different from Kongcheng now, why don't you leave? Don't you know that staying here will be useless?"

After Xiao Zhengtai was silent for a moment, he had already guessed what had happened here before, so he looked at Lin Yu and others calmly.

"I know that the court will not give up Yazhou. As the city lord of Yazhou, I cannot protect the people of Yazhou. I am ashamed of Your Majesty and have no face to escape.

Like me, they were unwilling to choose to escape, so me and others stayed here to stay, hoping to make up for their mistakes.”

Lin Yu said calmly, it was not because the person in front of him was the prince that he made such a choice.

His actions are from the heart. He is really willing to live and die with Yazhou. Although he is the city lord, he has never stopped anyone from leaving. He respects no one's choice.

Even though the remaining people in Yazhou were the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, who were far from the strength of the Tubo soldiers, he was never afraid of it.

However, they could not defeat four hands, and the resources in Yazhou City were still plundered by Tubo, so they could not stop them at all. Even if the support from the court did not arrive, they could not hold on for too long.

"Go into the city first, what do you have to say? I'll say it later!"

Looking at the resolute expression in Lin Yu's eyes, Xiao Zhengtai knew that what this person said was definitely not a lie. She directly moved her eyes off him and ordered the army to enter Yazhou.

Although the city of Yazhou was destroyed and Lin Yu had an unshirkable responsibility, his loyalty to the Tang Dynasty alone was enough to make up for all his faults.

"yes!"

Seeing that His Royal Highness did not blame him, Lin Yu and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up and followed the army to walk into the city.

Outside Yazhou City, ten miles of slope!

Under the shade of the trees in the forest, Tubo people wearing animal skins were gathering together, enjoying the food and women they plundered in Yazhou.

After counting the receipt of this time, Songtsen Gampo showed a satisfied smile. The wealth of the Tang Dynasty was far greater than that of Tubo.

With their natural advantages, they were not afraid of the Tang army at all, so he dared to attack here without restraint.

Since last time I witnessed the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo, who returned to Tubo, was extremely unwilling to accept it.

He was talented and magnificent, but the economic problems were very different from those of the Tang Dynasty.

No matter how hard the Tubo farmers work, they can never be self-sufficiency in their food. Perhaps it is precisely because of the plateau climate that Tubo has always been unable to become rich.

As winter is approaching, if there are no sufficient supplies, the Tubo people may not be able to spend this winter safely.

There was no way, he could only attack the Tang Dynasty. He never expected that a mere Yazhou would be so rich.

Even Songtsen Gampo was considering whether to continue farming in Tubo in the future and whether to consider the idea of ​​coming to the Tang Dynasty to plunder resources.

Yazhou City was right in front of him, and the invasion of it was just a matter of thought, but Songtsen Gampo was considering whether to occupy this important place.

On the plateau, the Tubo warriors were not afraid of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers at all, but here, they were very confident because there was no protection from nature.

"king!"

Just as Songtsen Gampo was hesitating, the spy ran over quickly, knelt on one knee on the ground, and looked at their king in admiration.

"speak!"

Songtsen Gampo took back his thoughts and asked calmly.

"Wang, our people just saw that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had arrived in Yazhou City, and this team of ten thousand people was carrying the materials they were looking at."

The spy reported with an excited look on his face and looked at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty from afar. The things they pushed were extremely difficult, so he concluded that this was the support sent by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

So fast?

Songtsen Gampo frowned slightly, and they started to attack Yazhou. In just about ten days, why did the Tang army come so quickly?

"How many soldiers and horses have arrived in the Tang Dynasty?"

After pondering for a while, a cold light appeared in Songtsen Gampo's eyes. It seemed that the Tang Dynasty did not choose to compromise, so don't blame him.

Tubo is the king on the plateau. Even if you are strong in the Tang Dynasty, you still have to kneel down on the plateau. This is his confidence.

"More than 20,000 people, no more than 25,000 people at most!"

The spy opened his mouth and replied without any hesitation. Seeing these supplies, their eyes were red. If they hadn't been waiting for the king's order, they would have rushed over long ago.

"Haha! Are you just 20,000 soldiers fighting against the warriors who resisted me? Is Li Shimin's head funny?"

Songtsen Gampo was stunned. He really didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would make such a stupid choice. What problem could the two soldiers solve?

In front of his Tubo army, these men and horses were just giving away their heads from thousands of miles away.

"Wang, what should we do next?"

The deputy general licked his lips greedily, and the wealth of the Tang Dynasty completely made them taste the sweetness, so when they heard that Li Shimin sent troops to send support supplies, their eyes were so excited that they were all congested.

In response to this, Songtsen Gampo was not in a hurry to order an attack on Yazhou. After returning to Tubo last time, he conducted a detailed investigation into the Tang Dynasty.

Judging from the battles of the Tang Dynasty in recent years, the Tang Dynasty has an extremely terrifying weapon in its hands. It is precisely because of their existence that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can be invincible and defeated in every battle.

There are even rumors that these weapons that hurt the world were all studied by the prince of the Tang Dynasty, so that when this statement was circulated throughout Tubo, no one was willing to believe it.

Everyone thinks that this is the Tang Dynasty's mental tactic. Through this public opinion, it brings spiritual pressure to the opponents, forcing them to directly develop fear in their hearts during the battle.

Only in this way can the small surrounding countries completely surrender to the Tang Dynasty. However, it is simply a dream to want to scare the powerful Tubo in this way.

"Hmph, the Tang Dynasty rejected my marriage at the beginning, and even attacked my Tubo envoys. Do you really think that I will let the Tang Dynasty go?"

He originally planned to use marriage to maintain friendship between the two countries, but Li Shimin was really ungrateful, so he was no wonder.

If the two countries had a good relationship with each other, through learning about the Tang Dynasty, they might be able to improve the current state of Tubo. However, the failure of marriage would not bring the relationship between the two countries closer, so plundering was their only choice.

"King, should you dispatch troops now and keep these guys completely? Once they are restored, it will probably be a problem!"

Seeing that Wang had not made a decision for a long time, the deputy general couldn't help but make a suggestion. He originally planned to wait until the remaining troops in Yazhou City were exhausted and the food was exhausted, they could occupy them without any effort.

However, now that reinforcements have arrived with the materials they are looking for, they should attack them unprepared. Once the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are prepared, they will be very passive.
