Chapter 343: Decades (3)
Chapter 343 Decades of life (III)
Li Wei is discussing matters with Heichi Changzhi, Li Jingxuan and others.
The idea was thought of by Black Tooth Changzhi.
None of Su Hegui's subordinates could escape, but that night, there were many Tuyuhun merchants in Shancheng. Of course, they did not dare to move easily, so they climbed the top of the city and watched the wall. They were heartbroken, so the old saying said that both kindness and power were used. We should not blindly use force and violence. Under the backlog, let alone these rebellious Hu people, even the people in the Central Plains would rise up. They could not blindly give grace and give grace. These Hu people were very ungrateful. Therefore, in the process of giving grace, they used thunder means to bury Tiel alive like Xue Rengui. After decades, they appeared in the Turks, and they all got off the horse and begged for mercy. This is the reason. Or like the Tubo people, they were as violent as the Tuyuhun people, they were like the good grandson.
That day, the methods of Shancheng were transmitted back to Tuyuhun by these people, and Tuyuhun was gasping for it. This time, the Tang Dynasty was angry.
I was lucky in the past, for example, when Xue Rengui arrived in Tuyuhun and did not fight against him, a god of killing like Xue Rengui continued to appease the nobles and wanted to win over the hearts of the people. Anyway, if the Tang Dynasty did not kill, I would just turn it around. But the prince's indifference and iron blood in Shancheng made them smell an uneasy atmosphere.
But the opportunity comes.
The Tang army has been reorganized to this day and has basically become an army. The army can be gathered on Beihuang Road and Chiling Avenue to make detailed attacks, and then secretly send a elite army to sneak into Guzhou and capture the entire Jiuqu.
Quxi was actually occupied by the Tubo people, and it was mixed with some Dangxiang people. The Dangxiang people didn’t need to worry, it was mainly Tuyuhun’s army. In addition, there was a Tubo barracks in Dajishi Mountain to the south, which was a radius of the entire north road of Jishi Mountain, controlling the Dangxiang people, and pointing to Jiuqu, or even Taozhou to the east.
If the scale of this war is arranged, it will not be too large. As long as the troops arrive smoothly in advance, the camp will be set down and become a war of attrition, the Tang Dynasty's army occupied the favorable terrain and held on, the Tubo people had to be discouraged. If the news leaked, the Tubo people were prepared and in turn occupied the favorable terrain in advance, becoming a battle of toughness and encounters. Then the form would be bad.
The Jiuqu River often did not understand it very much, and thought it was the Big and Big Yugu, but it was not. The Yellow River went south of Dajishi. Because the mountain was blocked, it turned northwest along the mountain, then turned northeast, and to the northeast. Today, the area around Gonghe County was twisted and turns to the east. The Yellow River in the west of Gonghe County was often tortuous, so it was called the Jiuqu land and the scope was very wide. It turned out that when Tuyuhun was convinced, it was under the jurisdiction of Tuyuhun, and the Tang Dynasty was in charge. Later, after the defeat of Dafeichuan, the two sides fought, but the scale was not large. The tacit understanding was the boundary of the river. Most of the Hedong belonged to the Tang territory and Hexi belonged to the Tubo border.
Tuyuhun mainly focuses on animal husbandry, but it can also be planted. With the help of the Yellow River, it is its tributary and the water of snow-capped mountains, it can plant cold-resistant barley, beans, millet and barley. Quxi is also the most important agricultural base for Tuyuhun. Of course, if Li Wei is in Qudong, he doesn't need to be so careful. This time he is very ambitious and wants to eat the entire Jiuqu, including Quxi. Then he builds castles in Quxi and Jiuqu's dangerous places, such as Dushan, Hongji Bridge, Baigucheng, Heixiachuan and other places, several big cities, and several small cities. With the help of terrain and advanced weapons, this large area is truly owned by the Tang Dynasty.
But this area is very large. The farthest Quxi is nearly 300 miles away from Jishi Army, 420 miles away from Dahua County and 450 miles away from Guzhou. Once it becomes a tough battle or an encounter, the consequences will be unimaginable. It is Hongji Bridge, which is already very close to Mantou City and Shudun City, the city of Tuyuhun. Quxi and Hongji Bridge both point to Dafeichuan in a distance, and there is also a large road to reach.
Now that Jiuqu is taken, there are many favorable conditions. Tuyuhun is defeated again and the morale of the Tang Dynasty is high.
The Dangxiang people secretly turned against each other. Once the Quxi battle was in war, Tubo would inevitably recruit Dangxiang soldiers, which became a trend of decline and rise that was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty.
Summer has not passed, and at this time the battle has an advantage over the Tang Dynasty's army in terms of temperature.
Lun Qinling has not come back so soon, and Lunzanpo's command ability is slightly weaker than Lunqinling, which is another opportunity. In the new defeat, Tuyuhun lost an important general Su Hegui, and hesitated to be suspicious of Lunqinpo. This suspicion will make the morale of the army unstable or hesitant, and the fighter will be beneficial to the Tang army again.
If the real war spreads to Quxi, the entire Tuyuhun will be shocked and you can also give a complete explanation to the court.
Not only that, if it is successful, Li Wei will see countless benefits. As long as he successfully takes down these cities, he will then seal off a few roads of Daba Dou Valley, Shicheng Mountain, Chengfengling, and Changning Gorge. The Tubo people had to fight to the death with the Tang army from Jiuqu. But the Tang army itself was able to attack Tuyuhun from six or seven roads in the north. Then Tubo forced his troops to defend. Don’t say that it was Ren Qinling, even if his grandson was alive, he could do nothing about it.
It can even wait for an opportunity to harass Tuyuhun. Tubo and Tuyuhun are for herdsmen and soldiers during wartime. This policy is easy to summon troops. However, the time of the army cannot be maintained for a long time. Once it lasts for a long time, a large amount of supply must be provided. With the national strength of Tubo, it is okay to support tens of thousands of permanent troops, but it can support more than 100,000 permanent troops. What will happen?
From Quxi to the south, he waited for an opportunity to move, and immediately surrounded the Dangxiang people, and obtained tens of thousands of Dangxiang's powerful soldiers, while Tubo lost tens of thousands of Dangxiang's sources. What's the situation?
Heart-to-heart-to-heart-to-heart-to-heart-to-heart-to-heart-to-heart-to
When everyone was summoned to discuss, they looked at the map and kept silent. The strategy was good and the timing was good, but how could the vast places from Wansu City to Quxi be quickly captured? It was either in Shancheng, but behind it were Shudun City, Mantou City, Dafeichuan City, and Chihai in Tuyuhun. The Tang Dynasty army became alone and advanced, and there were even many important roads controlled by Tubo, and Tuyuhun could quickly dispatch countless armies.
Once they are entangled, Lun Qinling returns will be very unfavorable to the Tang army.
Li Jingxuan and others were excluded, but Li Jinxing, including the proposed black teeth Changzhi, frowned and had no good plans.
At this moment, the scouts outside came in to report that it was Lunzanpo who dispatched a large army, not attacking Chiling, but crossing the Yellow River. They built a stone bridge on the Yellow River, named the Camel Bridge, and built a city on the east of the bridge, named the Jiuqu Army, and to the south, another army on Dushan, named Dushan Army. This army was drawn from Jishishan. Then the Tuyuhun people crossed the river at Hongji Bridge, stationed troops in Wansu City, and built a castle in Baigu City. It echoed the two Tubo Jiuqu Dushan Army. (In history, the Tubo Qu Shuijun Bridge was not a Camel Bridge, but to the south of the Camel Bridge, the Camel Bridge was built because of Tang Mu, the Princess of Jincheng. This road leads to Tuyuhun, and many camels transport goods, hence the name)
"General Black Toothed, the heroes have similar views," Li Wei smiled bitterly and said, "This plan should be cancelled. According to the original plan, the battle was launched from Daba Dou Valley, where to provide convenience. It took one or two years with Tubo to let the Tubo people understand the difficulties and manage Quxi."
Helplessly, although he won a great victory, Lunzanpo cannot underestimate this, otherwise he would become Su Hegui in turn. But he thought of a headache. Lunzanpo is like this. What will Lunqinling come?
He said again: "Spread, let's go, let's do it according to the original plan."
So we continued to build cities, and many cities had been built. In fact, many people in the court did not understand that as long as these cities were built, they could effectively buffer the future impact of Tubo on the inland. Of course, if there was a disagreement in internal affairs and the soldiers were timid, even if they were the Jin Tang of the Colombians, they could not be defended.
But at least Li Wei will not be lost here.
With the help of these cities, many fields have been cultivated, but only hundreds of valleys with a curve. Don’t think about the large and small valleys of Yugu further south for the time being.
Then he waited for the imperial edict from the court. The imperial edict was not issued, but two people came, Tuyuhun's original Khan Noh Bourd and Princess Honghua.
Li Wei did not dare to be rude. Nuo Hobo and his father Murong Shun were both very close to the Tang Dynasty. Although Princess Honghua was just a disciple of the royal family, she did a lot of work to stabilize Tuyuhun. More than thirty years ago, Prince Xuan of Tuyuhun wanted to rob Nuo Hobo to Tubo, so that the princess noticed that she took Nuo Hobo on a horse and ran into Shancheng overnight, causing Du Fengju, the governor of Shancheng to smash the rebellion. A very legendary woman is at least better than the famous Princess Wencheng who stayed in Luoshecheng.
In the third year of Yonghui, the month when Li Honggang was born in a nunnery, the couple entered Beijing. Li Zhi received the grand reception and also married the daughter of the royal family in the name of Jincheng County Lord. In fact, when Tubo then destroyed Bailan Qiang, Tuyuhun asked for help many times. Sui and Tang dynasties repeatedly fought, and Tuyuhun was indeed disabled and was no match for the Tubo people. However, the Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to it. In the end, Tuyuhun was destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty realized that it was too late. He first settled Nuohun in the south of the Daxue Mountains (Qilian Mountains) and was preparing to take back his homeland for him. After Xue Rengui was defeated, he had no hope and moved Xuan to the Gemen River. In the end, Nuohun was still worried and settled in Lingzhou.
After seeing the ceremony, Li Wei asked the guards to serve tea and asked, "I wonder what the hell is there for Khan and the princess to come?"
Nuohobo said, "I heard that Your Highness is in Shancheng, first of all, congratulations to Your Highness."
"I dare not, this is just a small battle. It is not necessarily clear whether the war will win or lose later."
"I feel relieved when your highness says this. The Tubo people should not underestimate it. General Xue was careless and underestimated the enemy, otherwise he would not have been in a state of depravity in the war."
"Don't worry," Li Wei smiled. If we pay attention to the Tubo people, there would be no one in the world who valued me. The decline of the Tang Dynasty was, first, Tubo, without Tubo, there would not be so many heavy troops, and An Lushan would not succeed. Second, An Lushan and Shi Siming. In fact, although the people in Tianbao were not as good as the beginning of Kaiyuan in the year after Tianbao, they could still live. Or in the long run, the integrity of the Han people was lost after the Anshi Rebellion. Fighting with foreign tribes was mostly because they lost more and won more. The heroic spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties became a distant dream.
"I also have a small request. I heard that His Highness has thousands of prisoners. Can you bring them to Lingzhou? They are just people and my people."
"Well," Li Wei couldn't help but ponder. It's not that Nuohe Bo has these three or four thousand hands, and he can immediately endanger Lingzhou. I don't know how many Hu people there are in Lingzhou, and the three or four thousand people don't care. The key is that these thousands of people are easy to use in their hands, such as building cities, building roads, and building farms and water conservancy. Some places are very dangerous, and they don't want to sacrifice soldiers in vain, and prisoners of war can take over. This cultivation is still a few years, and even if it is repaired, it can be transferred to the Central Plains.
The population of the Tang Dynasty was still too small. It was not that there was no land, and many lands were not cultivated. Like the polder fields in Jiangnan, Jiangnan was the last among the nine provinces in ancient times. Because of the large amount of water, it was all swamps. Wu Zixu passed Zhaoguan. At this time, there were at least a dozen roads for him to go to Wu. But it was not possible at that time. The mountains south of Zhaoguan were not big, but after crossing the mountains, they were all swamps, so he had to force him to pass through Zhaoguan.
In the Tang Dynasty, there are still many areas that have not been truly developed. Or move overseas, and the grain output has increased, and the population is still very large. Or secretly run some businesses and let those wealthy families take a look. Don’t swallow the land. The money comes faster. Just like the Song Dynasty, the land crisis can be alleviated. In this way, a larger space can be moved. Don’t have too many people. There are 200 million people, which is probably not a big problem. With more people, more troops can be recruited. For example, now, one million troops will be transferred to the Tuyuhun. Of course, this is a dream. If there are really 200 million people, the land crisis will be lifted, and the Tang Dynasty’s martial arts atmosphere and the world-leading technology will be used, and the big cannibals will retreat to the Qishe people, let alone Tubo.
Relying on fertility is also slow, so these prisoners of war were sent to the Central Plains, and the two generations who were used to staying in the habits were all Chinese. Is it dead or alive? Li Wei really cared about it?
But it was not easy to refuse. After thinking about it, he said, "Khan, it's not that I don't agree. You'd better write a letter to my father and ask for it, and it will also meet the procedures."
Actually, it’s not a big problem, just delay.
Nuohobo didn't care, and said, "Can I let me see that Su Hegui?"
"Okay." It's a pity to bring Su Hegui up. If Su Hegui was surrendered, the Tuyuhun people would be even more frustrated. But it was impossible, unless Duan Mingzhen was handed over to Su Hegui for treatment regardless of Hu Sheng's feelings. That's it, Su Hegui might not surrender. This was not a defeated surrender, but to make him truly surrender. But Li Wei was embarrassed. He killed Su Hegui at that time, but it was not easy to kill now. He had a lot of prestige among the Tuyuhun people. If the prisoners of war were killed, some Tuyuhun people would arouse their ambitions.
It's really not possible to be this matter. If the court has any movement, it will be taken to the court for the court to deal with it.
Seeing Su Hegui, Nuo Hobo gritted his teeth and said, "General Su He, I didn't expect that we would meet again more than ten years later."
Su Hegui didn't answer.
"How Ben Khan treated you at the beginning, I didn't expect you to stab me hard in my chest when you were in the middle of your heart."
At the time, the numbness of the Tang Dynasty and the indecisiveness were the main reason for the demise of Tuyuhun. In addition, ministers like Su Hegui rebelled and colluded, and Tuyuhun died so quickly under internal and external difficulties. If there were no such traitors, the ministers who were pro-Tang faction at that time were not weak. As long as Tuyuhun could persist for a long time, the Tang Dynasty might not have sent troops to rescue him.
Su Hegui still didn't answer.
Nuohobo said: "Your Highness, can you give me a little face and leave this person to me for handling?"
