Chapter Four hundred and forty-eight: Re-offending Tubo and not surrendering?
Li Fangchen's arrogance was not aimless. For him, Tubo and Tuyuhun were definitely not enemies of the Tang Dynasty.
After years of dormant, how could people from other countries know about the changes in the Tang Dynasty?
Goguryeo was strong in fighting to support the war, and there were many slave soldiers.
The foundation of the Tang Dynasty lies in its foundation.
If we fight hard, we may not be able to compare with the Tang Dynasty if all the countries around us combined.
The military is strict discipline and prohibited by orders. This is just the first point.
The second point afterwards was not as crazy as Goguryeo's behavior of supervising artillery and fire thunder.
But how can I spend all my accumulations in one go after more than ten years?
Just by the little steel output of Tubo, how could it be compared with the Tang Dynasty?
Li Fangchen had two thousand cannons in his hand and the army had a total of 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder, which was not a constant supply.
During the war, the supply of military supplies in middle schools was the most important part!
After three days of renovation, the commander-in-chief entered Tuyuhun territory.
Lu Dongzan's letter of flattery was thrown into the brazier by him again.
The first Tuyuhun city was bombarded by Linyue City, but it was captured by the Tang army in just one day.
Nong Zhibo was anxious, but he could do nothing.
The morale of the army has not yet recovered. If you force yourself to fight, you will be defeated again.
Lu Dongzan was busy for many days, but he still didn't see the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty being kind. Even a fool could guess that the other party did it on purpose.
Nong ordered Bo to immediately decide to return to Tubo, asking Songtsen Gampo to send troops to reinforce.
He had only 80,000 people in his hands, and now there are still 40,000 left. If he really gave the Tang army all the food, it would definitely be a terrible blow to Tubo.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trauma, not to mention that they are not ready to break up with the Tang Dynasty.
"Nongshuai, the jagged river has been taken down by the Tang army. The opponent will definitely arrive in Angcheng for up to seven days!"
Tuyuhun is too small, and its area is less than half that of the Longyou Road of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Fangchen's fight was very relaxed, which was much easier than him to fight against the Turks.
Because Tuyuhun had just been taken down by Tubo, all cities had to be assigned to guard, which also led to most of the troops under Nong Zhibo being assigned to them.
Now there is a lot of trouble. Judging from Li Fangchen's speed, at most half a month, the entire Tuyuhun will be completely swallowed by the Tang Dynasty.
They knew better than anyone else that the land swallowed by the Tang Dynasty could not be reclaimed.
How easy is it to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth?
What's more, it's an angry king of mountains and forests?
But letting them withdraw from Tuyuhun was unwilling to accept it.
Anyway, Tuyuhun has now been under the name of Tubo and was captured by the Tang Dynasty. What's going on?
"Not good! Nong Shuai, Da Xiang, Tang Army divided its troops and Bai Hai was lost!"
"What!"
Nong Zhibo and Lu Dongzan looked at the map and found that two Tang troops were deliberately blocking their retreat and trapping them to death in Tuyuhun.
"Ship Nong, make a quick decision, let's retreat!"
Lu Dongzan hurriedly advised.
After Nong Zhibo's face changed three times, he compromised and said, "The big minister is to make arrangements, I just hope to bring the tribes back safely!"
Lu Dongzan immediately ordered Tubo to give up the land of Tuyuhun, which was considered an "explanation" to the Tang Dynasty!
In response to this, Songtsen Gampo also expressed his thoughts and re-revised the book and sent it to the Tang Dynasty.
Today's Tang Dynasty is not yet at the end of its end, and they can't afford to provoke Tubo!
Instead of fighting head-on with the Tang Dynasty, it is better to go south to India and fight against those uncivilized wild monkeys!
Anyway, they are all expanding their territory and making a name for themselves. No matter how good Tuyuhun is, they are not as intimidated by the Tang Dynasty.
"What? Running?"
Li Fangchen never expected that the other party would leave so decisively.
Moreover, the letter of nationality was sent, and Tubo gave up the entire territory of Tuyuhun, and Tuyuhun was nominally completely owned by the Tang Dynasty.
In other words, Tubo admitted defeat.
Li Fangchen had no reason to continue to fight, so he could only list a list of merits and send someone back to Chang'an.
The Tuyuhun matter will be handed over to the officials of Longyoudao for the time being responsible for management.
But, is Li Fangchen really willing?
It is true that Tubo admitted defeat, but so far, they have only lost some troops.
Far from the Tang Dynasty, no matter how much a duke said, he could compare to seven or eight cities, right?
"Master, we still have to fight?"
"I asked you, has Tubo surrendered?"
"No...but isn't Tuyuhun?"
"That was captured by this king. What is the relationship with him Tubo?"
For a moment, others could not find any fault.
Tang army troops entered Tubo?
Lu Dongzan, who had just retreated, was frightened and shivered. Songzan Gampo sent a letter to him in person, asking for the reason.
The implication is to blame him, why not handle this matter well.
How easy is it?
I couldn't eat Tuyuhun and even made me feel slutty.
It can be said that the entire Tubo is in an extremely embarrassing situation at the moment.
Faced with the fierce coming of the Qin King of the Tang Dynasty, they had no other way except to resist.
Nong ordered Bo to have less than 30,000 troops left and make up for the 100,000.
Songtsen Gampo ordered to repel the enemy and let the Tang Dynasty know that they were not easy to mess with.
But in the battle report for the next period of time, Songtsen Gampo also lost his inch.
How could Li Fangchen use Turkic Wolf Cavalry with more than 20,000 people as abandoned children?
Taking advantage of the Turkish experience of the invasion of the Tang Dynasty in the past, Li Fangchen instructed these Turkic soldiers to rush around in the territory of Tubo, not attacking cities but only captives.
Nong Zhibo couldn't catch these people at all. Often, as soon as he heard the news, he was in a mess after rushing to the scene.
The barley everywhere was burned to pieces, and the people in the tribal villages were even missing.
The bodies left by a few people after resisting made Nong Zhibo wish to die with the Tang army.
Li Fangchen ordered people to set up a cannon formation in the Lanqiang land and guarded 20,000 Tang troops.
Those who approach will be killed without mercy!
As long as the Turkish soldiers were tired of fighting, they returned to Lanqiang and retreated, and Tubo could not find a way to attack.
After a simple calculation, Songtsen Gampo learned that Tubo suffered huge losses in just seven days.
The population is short of 100,000, and the fields are burned in countless places.
The most hateful ones are those Turkic wolf riders who belonged to the Tang Dynasty. The wolf riders passed by, and there were a lot of grass.
What should I do if there are too many cattle and sheep that cannot be taken away?
Kill them all, rotten in the ground!
What should I do if there are so many people in this tribe?
All men and women were kidnapped, the old man didn’t want it, the Tang Dynasty needed some slaves to do the miscellaneous work!
He was in a state of turmoil and was indifferent all day long. He finally reconnected with Li Fangchen.
Lu Dongzan really wanted to know the real reason why His Highness Qin King did this.
But there are only three words in the letter, "Don't you give up?"
The reply was sent back to Songzan Gampo, which made the other party furious and scolded Li Fangchen for being ungrateful.
I want to raise an army and punish him for 100,000!
However, Li Fangchen was not at all panicked. The Tang troops who should have been stationed in Lanqiang started to move.
Qiemo City, located not far from the junction of Tubo-language Tuyuhun, belongs to a large clan.
Among them is a Tubo Xiangxiong, a veritable Tubo nobleman.
That day, thousands of cannons fired together for three full hours. It was not until the entire Qiemo City turned into a scorched earth and there was no sign of living people moving in the city that the Tang army slowly retreated.
The fire of the city was slaughtered, and the King of Qin showed his fangs.
The army that Songtsen Gampo had just gathered fell apart instantly, and no one wanted this tragedy to happen again.
Anyway, what this King of Qin wants is just verbal surrender.
Besides, Songtsen Gampo alone is better than Tubo’s few cities, right?
Faced with Li Fangchen's scoundrel methods, Songtsen Gampo knew he was in a disadvantage and could only admit defeat.
If I had known this, it would have been better if the Tang Dynasty hadn't gone!
