Chapter 124: Tubo God of War Soldiers
Chapter 124 The Tubo God of War’s Military Book!
"According to the order of my family to praise Pu, I specially presented the second tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. I would like to accept it with a smile!"
Zasangbu took another box and opened it, and put some parchment rolls inside, full of words, not Tubo, but Chinese.
During the reign of Songtsen Gampo, the Tubo people created their own national characters based on Buddhist Sanskrit, which were relatively simple phonetic characters. Compared with the profound Chinese characters, they were not on the same level at all.
Therefore, the great nobles and lords of the upper class of Tubo rarely used their own national characters. Instead, they took the honor of learning and writing Chinese characters, and often sent their children to Chang'an City to learn the classics and culture of the Han family.
However, the Tubo people have not learned papermaking yet, so they can only write their words on sheepskin, cowhide, or wood chips.
The question is, what is written on these parchment rolls, and they are actually used as tributes?
"I'm asking Your Majesty the Emperor, this is a military book left by my Tubo God of War - Lun Qinling, called "The Strategy of Eternal Victory", with a total of twenty-two volumes. The content is profound and profound, and it can be called the supreme treasure book of military corpses. Some time ago, a descendant of Lun Qinling presented this military book to my family. After reading it, Dazang Pu liked it very much, and specially ordered someone to copy it and share it with His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Wow!"
There was a big uproar in the hall, and Li Longji and the civil and military officials changed their faces again, and they were much more powerful than last time. For nothing else, they just used the three words "Lun Qinling".
That was decades ago, the famous Tubo war god, both civil and military, good at using troops, and had defeated the Tang army many times. Even a famous general Xue Rengui suffered a great loss at Lunqinling, and was beaten to the point of being thrown away, and was in a mess!
To be honest, at that time, in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, as long as the word "Lun Qinling" was mentioned, it would have a miraculous effect of stopping children from crying at night.
Fortunately, Empress Zetian used a counter-espionage plan and used the Tubo people to remove Lunqinling, otherwise the territory in the western part of the Tang Dynasty would not be left at all.
Unexpectedly, this Tubo god of war who had passed away for many years actually left a military book. Unexpectedly, Tubo Dazanpu actually sent an envoy to send the military book. Isn't this a naked provocation? It's equivalent to sending a war book!
"The grandson said: War is a major event of a country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death, and must be observed!
The army has no constant power, the water has no constant shape, and the changes in the place cannot be transmitted first.
Therefore, it is said that the enemy is in the heart and the observation is in the eyes. However, the soldiers are not happy, and victory is not profitable. Therefore, those who are happy will be destroyed, and those who are successful will be humiliated..."
Perhaps feeling that the provocation was not enough, Zasangbu actually stood in the hall, unfolded the parchment scroll, and read it aloud in public.
The monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty had no choice but to listen quietly.
The military book written by Qinling clearly has the shadow of Han classics, and many places have borrowed from "The Art of War".
But it has to be admitted that the best is better than the blue, and the ice water is colder than the water. This military book not only absorbs the essence of "The Art of War", but also forms an independent opinion on the relationship between politics, economy and military.
In terms of tactics, it advocates not to fight unsure, opposes passive defense, advocates the use of power and tricks, strives to take the initiative, observe the enemy situation clearly, concentrates troops, attacks the enemy's unexpectedly, and wins by surprise.
If you can write such a military book and have such a high-level strategic awareness, can Qinling be able to gallop and win and never defeat?
A great generation!
Zasangbu finished reading "The Strategy of Everlasting Victory" in one breath, then put it back into a wooden box and handed it to a little eunuch.
The little eunuch was handed over to Gao Lishi, and the latter was placed on the imperial case!
The military book in front of the reader, Li Longji really felt like he had swallowed a fly, which was disgusting.
The Tang Empire was full of culture and often gave it to the surrounding vassal states and tribes some poetry and books, saying: "Educate the barbarians and open up wisdom."
For example, when Princess Wencheng was married, she brought a large number of Confucian and Buddhist classics from the Tang Dynasty and spread on the snowy plateau. At that time, the Tubo people cheered and were as happy as if they had received the Book of Heaven.
Now, the Tubo people sent books to the Tang Dynasty, but they still gave a military book. Isn’t this a naked slap in the face?
What should I do and how to fight back this face?
Li Longji had no choice but to look at the civil and military officials.
The civil and military officials had no choice but to turn their heads together and look at Li Zhao who was standing at the end of the team!
Li Zhao:...
What's the situation? Just rely on me alone?
Forget it, it is related to the national face and national honor. I can only rush up, but what method can I do?
Li Zhao patted his belly, making the bad water inside boil, and soon a good method came out. To put it in detail, twelve words: Yours are mine, mine is mine.
After making up his mind, Li Zhao took a step forward: "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to do to report!"
"explain."
"According to the order, as far as I know, the military tactics that the envoy of Zasangbu just recited just now were not written by Qinling, nor did they see any "The Strategy of Eternal Victory", but the work of an unknown master of the Han family, called "The Successful Letter of Wu Mu."
"Wow!"
As soon as Li Zhao said, he immediately caused a huge uproar.
What is the situation? This military book was not written by the God of War in Tubo, but was a masterpiece by the masters of the Han Dynasty. Doesn’t this mean that the Tubo people are shamelessly plagiarizing?
If this matter is true, it would be too embarrassing!
"Young-mouth child, how dare you talk nonsense? This is obviously a military book written by my Tubo God of War. What does it have to do with your Han family?"
"Haha, please don't make any mistakes. This is obviously a Chinese classic, called "Wu Mu's Successful Letter". I'm not a talented man. I read this book when I was seven years old. Although I have been able to recite it after many years."
"What, can you recite this military book?"
"Yes, if you don't believe me, I can tell you..." My grandson said, "Wealth is a major event of a country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death. We must observe it!
The army has no constant power, the water has no constant shape, and the change is not allowed to be transmitted first. Therefore, it is said that the enemy is in the heart, and the observation of the opportunity is in the eyes..."
Just above the hall, Li Zhao recited it in public, but the result was that he did not fall into a word, and it was exactly the same as the content of the book "The Strategy of Eternal Victory".
When I looked at Zasangbu and several Tubo servants, I was all stunned!
This military book was presented to Da Zanpu by descendants of the Lunqinling lineage a few months ago.
The descendants of Qinling made it clear that after writing this military book, it has been treasured at home and has never been shown to outsiders. Even within the family, there are only a handful of people who have read it.
After Dazanpu got it, he regarded it as a treasure. He left the original book of military books and then copied a copy to the Tang Dynasty, intending to show off his martial arts and win some respect for the Tubo people. Unexpectedly, he did not win the face, but instead made such an embarrassing thing happen.
A young man from the Han family was able to recite the contents of military books, and he was just a word. What was going on?
Could it be that this is really the work of the masters of the Han family?
Decades ago, after Lun Qinling plagiarized, he shamelessly took it for himself... In that case, he would be embarrassed!
"I'll just say, how could a savage man in animal skins and drinking blood be able to write military books? It turns out that he was copying the works of my senior master of the Han family."
"It's okay to copy secretly, but you dare to send it to the Tang Dynasty openly. It's your own work. Your face is really three points thicker than the walls of Chang'an City!"
"Hehe, people are shameless and invincible in the world. The ancients really did not deceive me!"
...
In the hall, the civil and military officials spoke sarcastic words, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one!
In other words, there are no gaps on the ground, otherwise it would be too embarrassing for a few Tubo people to get in.
Fortunately, Li Longji was tolerant and generous, waved his hand to stop the civil and military officials, and then asked Gao Lishi to send the military book back to Zasangbu.
Not only that, he also ordered the officials of the Ministry of Rites to quickly prepare thousands of volumes of Confucianism, Mohism, Dharma, Buddhism, Taoism... from various schools, and rewarded Zhasangbu and asked him to take him back to Tubo.
The meaning is very obvious. My Tang Dynasty culture is at its peak and there are many schools of thought. You Tubo people can never catch up with you for another thousand years. Just be honest as a student!
In this game, the Tang Dynasty won the championship!
However, in addition to winning the game, some smart people also vaguely felt that something was wrong with this!
Lun Qinling is a war god. Will such a person really copy?
There is also "Wu Mu's Success Letter", which is the work of a master of the Han Dynasty, why have you never heard of it?
...
Li Longji is one of the smart people and it is hard to ask directly, so he had to look at Li Zhao not far away.
Li Zhao made a secret grimace and pointed at his ears.
The answer is revealed: The statement in "Wu Mu's suicide note" is purely false, and this military book was indeed written by Tubo's God of War - Lun Qinling.
Why can Li Zhao recite it?
Simple, hard to memorize!
Li Zhao has a super memory. He can not only remember it through his eyes, but also through his ears. No matter what book it is, as long as he listens to others recite it, he can remember it firmly in his heart.
Zasangbu shouldn't have, never shouldn't have been too arrogant. He actually read the military books in public in front of the hall, but Li Zhaomo recorded them all. This was the subsequent reversal, which regained the face for the Tang Dynasty!
Chapter completed!
