Chapter 1 The War between Tang and Tubo
Later generations of Shiqu County, Ganzi Prefecture, Sichuan Province, found three remains of stone carvings from the Tubo period, namely the Xuba sacred mountain stone carving group, the Baima sacred mountain stone carving group, and the Luosu Village stone carving, a total of seventeen pairs of stone carvings.
These stone carvings provide evidence for the direction of the ancient Tang-Tibet Road along the Jinsha River Basin, and also provide another possibility for Princess Wencheng's route to Tibet: or pass through Sichuan.
More than two thousand years ago, when Princess Wencheng entered Tibet, it is likely that she did not follow the traditional Tang and Turkish ancient road, but was south of the ancient road, from Shu to Ganzi Prefecture, through Shiqu County, and into Qinghai to Tibet.
...
"When Princess Wencheng passed Jiannan Road, entered Shiqu, and stopped in Shanzhou for a short stop. She arrived at Linfan City, Suirong City, followed Qiang River through Shibao City, Chiling, Yuchichuan to Moli Post, passed Dafeichuan (Gonghe Cheji Grassland), Nalu Post, Nuanquan, Liemo Sea, crossed the sea, crossed Zishan Mountain (Bayankala), crossed the Yak River, passed Yushu, passed Dangla Mountain (Chawla Pass of Tanggula Mountain), went to Naqu, northern Tibet, and continued to move forward, cross Yangbajing, and went to Lusai."
An Wensheng picked up the map in his hand and compared it repeatedly: "It's a pity that if Wang Xuance came to lead the way, it might be safer."
"There is no way. Guazhou has to be wary of Lun Qinling's desperate attempt. I can only come with some surprise attacks."
Su Dawei took off the iron helmet from his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked back behind him, the Tang soldiers led the war horse and slowly moved forward along the ridge.
The team stretched for more than ten miles.
"The Tubo people only focus on Hexi. We should have a short window of time. We should go straight to the logic before the Tubo people react. If we can break through the logic as planned, we can achieve the destruction of the country."
An Wensheng patted his cheeks, his fair and clean face, and his cheeks trembled slightly as he moved.
He stuffed the map in his hand into Su Dawei's arms: "It's not easy, it's a gamble. If the Tubo people were on the wild side, these thousands of Tang soldiers and you and me would probably be buried here."
"The risks are great and the benefits are also great. This is a fighter opportunity. God will not take it, but it will be blamed."
Su Dawei said, picking up the map on his body, spreading it out, frowned and looked at it carefully.
His military strategy was inherited by Su Dingfang and he also had his own insights from later generations.
Su Dingfang used troops, which seemed dangerous, but in fact he attacked the enemy's key points and would win every battle.
The key point is to be good at seizing fighter jets and grasping the weaknesses exposed by the enemy in an instant.
Su Dingfang pretended to be sick, but after all, he successfully confused the Tubo people.
Lun Qinling was so greedy that he wanted to break the attack more and shake the Tang army's Hexi defense line.
When Lun Qinling found something wrong, he withdrew his troops and retreated. Su Dingfang, who was in Jiuquan, had already made Su Dawei's light cavalry advance quickly. He took the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty who was urgently drawn to jump over Dafeichuan to carry out the mission of a lifetime of death.
"General Manager, we can actually wait until the subsequent reinforcements arrive, and we will come to him with 100,000 Tang cavalry. I hope the Tubo people cannot stop our troops."
Guo Kaifeng, who was going to the war with the army, interjected and said.
Su Dawei shook his head: "You only know one thing, not the other. When our reinforcements arrived, the Tubo people's defense line was ready. At that time, the Tubo people shrink their fronts, strengthen their walls and clear their fields, and set up forts on important roads, so it will be difficult for the army to overcome quickly.
It can only be consumed against Tubo on the plateau.
This situation means that the Tang Dynasty lost.”
Su Dawei said leisurely: "They are close to home, we are far away from the Tang Dynasty's army to go on an expedition. The enemy needs ten to barely deal with food consumption.
If you want to defeat Tubo, you must not fight with them, and it will only waste your national strength.
The best fighter jet is at this moment.”
Su Dawei said the last few words firmly.
A terrifying light flashed in his eyes.
Guo Daifeng's heart was abrupt, and he hurriedly stepped back and said, "What the manager said is, I have little knowledge."
"It's okay, by the way, you guys look here..."
Su Dawei pointed to the map: "I know this yak river, isn't it just Tongtian River?"
As he said that, he let out a hearty laugh.
An Wensheng and Guo Dai were on his side and showed confusion on the cover.
"What is Tongtian River? I have never heard of it."
Su Dawei waved his hand and suddenly lost interest in speaking.
The story of Xuanzang and the traveler seeking scriptures in Journey to the West will not appear hundreds of years later.
I wonder if there are old turtles carrying scriptures in Tongtian River?
"Ami, come here!"
In the distance, the voice of General Xue Li came from the distance.
In this surprise attack, Su Da was the commander of the head, Guo Dai was appointed as the logistics military commander, the fierce general Xue Rengui was the vanguard, and An Wensheng was the praise painting.
Although the sparrow is small, it is full of vitality.
When Su Dawei heard the sound, he clamped the horse's belly with Longzi and rushed towards Xue Rengui.
He didn't notice that on the rocks several miles away, a half-man-tall crow was looking at the team.
Watching the Tang army winding like a snake, walking by the mountain stream on the river.
A strange green light flashed in the crow's dark eyes.
Qu ~
This represents an ominous big bird that flapped its wings and flew up and disappeared on the top of the mountain in an instant.
The night was shrouded in the dark, and the Tang army's barracks were scattered, seemingly messy, but in fact they gathered and separated, with their own rules.
Under the bonfire, there were countless light and dark whistles.
In an enemy country, Su Dawei was as careful as possible to avoid any mistakes.
"I always think that I am invincible when I use my army, and then wait for the enemy to win. However, this time the situation has changed a little, and I have to take a risk."
In the camp, Su Dawei reached out and pointed on the map: "Although the risks are extremely high, the benefits are more considerable. Everyone should be extremely careful along the way and not expose any flaws to the Tubo people."
An Wensheng sat cross-legged by the bonfire, holding a pottery bowl in his hands and pouring a bowl of mutton soup.
He put down the pottery bowl with both hands and straightened his clothes.
Then take out the clean silk squid from the sleeve, fold it neatly, and gently press it on your lips a few times.
Although he is in the wilderness, the habits of aristocrats are still meticulous.
"Pretty criminal."
Su Dawei laughed and scolded.
An Wensheng remained silent, took back his silk squid, stretched his sleeves, straightened his waist and spine, and then said, "The most dangerous thing is actually after leaping over Dafeichuan. Have the Tubo people fallen into a trap? Are they behind us a long way behind?
If the answer is no, crossing Dafeichuan and on the grassland below Dafeichuan will be the most vulnerable moment for our army.
Once the plain environment was surrounded by the Tubo people who had the advantage of military strength, the mission failed."
Guo Daifeng's eyes were flexibly turning left and right, and he peeked at Su Dawei, An Wensheng, Xue Rengui and others.
Seeing that no one spoke, he whispered: "We can at least take the Fuqiucheng."
"What's the point?"
Xue Rengui snorted coldly: "We have spent so much effort and even risked 3,000 people to rush to a thousand miles. What we did not want to be a small Fuqi City, but to achieve his contributions and take down the capital of the Tubo people in one battle."
Speaking of the word "take it".
Xue Rengui's fist hit the map hard.
However, Su Dawei quickly took the map away.
Bang!
The bonfire jumped, and a few sparks splashed out, just splashing on Guo Tiefeng's body.
The young noble general screamed, jumped up and couldn't help but slap the fire on his body, and was in a very embarrassing state.
"Rengui, be careful. If the map is broken, please compensate me with a new one?"
"Well, I'm angry for a moment."
Xue Rengui held his knees with his hands and smiled at Guo Kaifeng, "Don't be surprised if you are rude for a moment."
Guo Daifeng's expression on his face had not changed, but when he lowered his head, he slapped the corners of his mouth with disdain.
Vulgar martial artist, vulgar!
Su Dawei was on the side, holding all this in his eyes and frowned secretly.
...
The silver full moon hangs high in the sky.
At the end of Jiuquan County, the ambassador of Anji of the Tang Dynasty, the chief supervisor of Luoshuidao, and the Duke of Xing, Su Dingfang, were wearing a snow-white cloak, holding the city and stomping into the distance.
The night breeze blew slightly, causing ripples on the body and clothes.
If not, it almost made people think that he had turned into a statue.
"Master General!"
With a soft call, a personal soldier led a Taoist to the top of the city and came behind Su Dingfang.
Ye Fashan glanced at Su Dingfang's side face.
This Tang Dynasty military god has been in a serious condition in recent years, and his cheeks are so deep that he has been trapped in his cheeks.
The snow-white long beards covered the lower half of the face, otherwise you would have seen the too thin and sharp chin.
Although his eyes were still energetic.
But what cannot be concealed is that this 70-year-old man has reached the end of his life, and the vitality in his body is getting more and more exhausted.
A complex emotion flashed through Ye Fashan's heart.
But he quickly adjusted all this, waved his whisk gently, and said, "Heavenly Lord, I have seen the Grandmaster."
"It turned out to be Master Ye."
Su Dingfang finally made a slight change.
He reluctantly withdrew his gaze from afar and turned to Ye Fashan who was approaching.
"Heavenly Master is here, but is there good news?"
"Fortunately, the strangeness that appeared under the city of Dunhuang has been removed by the disciples of this sect."
Ye Fashan bowed slightly and politely to Su Dingfang, the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, said: "The crisis in Wuwei has also been resolved."
"Ha, although those Tubo people are strange, they are not so arrogant that they think that the entire battle situation can be changed by strangeness, and they dare not suppress their strength at once."
Su Dingfang patted the battlements with his hand and said with some regret: "It's a pity that I have worked hard in Jiuquan, but Lun Qinling did not come."
Ye Fashan's eyes flashed, and he held his long beard and said, "Even if the reputation of the chief executive is not done anything, as long as he is here, it is enough to shock the Tubo people."
Su Dingfang shook his head slightly, not saying anything.
"Next, let's do it as planned."
"I came here to say goodbye to the Grand Chief Manager. I hope the Grand Chief Manager will take care of his health and wait for us to return victoriously."
"Go."
Su Dingfang nodded slightly: "It depends on Master Ye Tian to deal with those ghosts and monsters on the road."
"This is my duty, please don't worry, the chief executive."
After Ye Fashan finished speaking, he bowed, then took two steps back and floated away.
When he went there, he represented Wuwei, Dunhuang and Jiuquan, and was on guard against the strange Tubo people, the Taoist Taoists of Maoshan Sect would follow Su Dawei's team together with Ye Fashan to serve this surprise attack.
"Master General!"
Wang Xiaojie, wearing a clang-clad leather, hurriedly climbed the city tower, not caring about wiping away the sweat from his forehead.
"The last general will come to pay the order and report the results of the battle."
Chapter completed!
