"The little guy is here."
"Ben Zanpu ordered you to lead an army of [-] people to detour to the southern border of Tuyuhun and attack Misang City."
"The villain takes orders."
"Lang Zhuoyun."
"The little guy is here."
"Ben Zanpu ordered you to lead an army of [-] troops and follow Karnalun to attack Misang City. Once the city is broken, you will lead the army to ambush on Mt. Momoli and attack Tuyuhun's reinforcements."
"The villain takes orders."
……
A series of military orders were issued from the Tubo court hall, and Tubo began to enter a state of preparation for war from this time, to resist Tuyuhun's attack with all its strength.
But his defense of choice is offense.
The more severe the winter, the more fierce Songtsan Gampo, because the weather is equal, it is difficult for them, and it is also difficult for the Tuyuhun soldiers.
Only by showing this kind of desperate spirit can we be invincible.
Therefore, climatic factors have not been considered by Songtsen Gampo, except for extreme weather.
What's more, Tuyuhun has just gone through this catastrophe, the political situation is chaotic, and the foundation is unstable, so it is a good time to take the initiative to attack.
Songtsan Gampo thought about it carefully, except for Murong Huayun and his Yunchui Army, Tuyuhun really didn't have any generals and troops who could stand on the stage.
When the people in the main hall had almost dispersed, Jiacharuru came to Songtsan Gampo and said in a low voice: "Lord Zanpu, the villain has another trick, if it succeeds, it can also cause a lot of trouble for Tuyuhun. "
"Oh?" Songtsan Gampo's face was filled with joy, "What other clever plans does the Great Military Master have? Tell me quickly, and Ben Zanpu is all ears."
"According to the villain's understanding, what Li Chengqian dislikes most is the issue of land annexation. For this matter, he slaughtered powerful landlords and some serious princes and nobles in the Tang Dynasty. He hates this matter deeply."
"Right now, Tuyuhun is merged into the Tang Dynasty, and the Tuyuhun Capital Protectorate is established. The military and political system will definitely be changed. However, most of Tuyuhun are tribal leaders, each controlling a large amount of land, population, livestock and even military power, and some of them have great respect for Murong Bai surrendered to Tang Dynasty and was very dissatisfied."
"We can send people into Tuyuhun to release the news that the Tang Dynasty wants to confiscate their military power and land, which will arouse conflicts between Li Chengqian and the various tribes and plunge them into chaos."
"With the blessing of internal and external troubles, and the Tang army can't adapt to the climate in the plateau area, then Zanpu can sit back and relax. After Li Chengqian has seen our methods, he will definitely not dare to attack me again."
Gacharuru's analysis is clear and logical.
Hearing his words, Songtsan Gampo was overjoyed, "The military master's words are very kind, so I will leave this matter to the military master. All the soldiers in Tubo will be dispatched by you. If the plan is successful, I will definitely reward you greatly."
"Hehe..." Jiacharuru hurriedly apologized with a smile: "It's a villain's honor to do things for Zanpu, how dare you ask for a reward."
Jiacharuru has some strategies and can fart rainbows, which is very popular with Songtsan Gampo.
"Hahaha..." Songtsan Gambo was full of joy when he heard this, "Ben Zanpu did a good job as a military adviser, how could Ben Zanpu not reward him, and if so, wouldn't it be chilling to the hearts of the people."
"Come here, give the Great Army Master twenty bolts of silk from the Central Plains, six beauties from the Western Regions, fifty yaks, and one hundred taels of gold..."
Songtsan Gampo became more temperamental as he talked, and directly rewarded him.
Gacharuru hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, his heart bursting with joy, "The villain thanks Zanpu for the reward."
He didn't care about the other things, he had coveted beauties from the Western Regions for a long time, but he didn't expect his wish to come true today.
At this time, I can't wait to rush into the mansion to be romantic and happy.
at the same time.
Ding Yue has led people across the Yak River and entered the border of Tubo.
As soon as he landed, he was surrounded by a group of Tubo soldiers who rushed over.
They sit on large Tubo horses, with a long knife on their backs, wrapped in cumbersome woolen clothes, with a simple layer of chain mail on the outside, and a sheepskin hat covering their ears.
The leader of the squadron, Changsheng, had a vicious face, with a beard pierced all over his cheeks, a fat head with big ears, a fat belly, sitting on a horse with a ferocious look.
He looked at Ding Yue and the others, and shouted angrily: "Who are you? How dare you not go to Guandu Wharf and cross Yakniu River. Someone come and take this group of minions for me."
The Yak River belongs to the border between Tubo and Tuyuhun. The control is very strict, and you can only go to the official wharf. Especially in extraordinary times, without customs clearance documents, you must not cross the river into the country.
Their team is the river patrol team, and what they do is to catch stowaways.
A person beside Ding Yue hurriedly got up, with a big smile on his face, and rushed to the side of the team leader.
The dozen or so soldiers around the captain saw the man jumping up, but they didn't have the slightest intention to stop him, turning a blind eye.
"Mr. Jun, we are serious businessmen. What's wrong with our work? All our goods were robbed by soldiers from Tuyuhun. Our brothers escaped death by narrow escape. Look at how pitiful we are. Just let us go home."
"If it wasn't for the Tuyuhun gang of bastards occupying the pier and preventing them from crossing the river, we wouldn't have the guts to cross the river here, so please let us go."
As he spoke, he took out two money bags from his pocket and stuffed them into a cloth pocket hanging on the horse. There was a lot of money in them, all of which were tributes from smuggled merchants. .
The team leader squinted at him, and he opened the money bag specially for the team leader to see.
Seeing the two shiny golden beans on the top of the bag, the team leader slowly smiled on his gloomy face.
All the merchants who smuggled across the river were in different situations, and they had more or less money.
This golden bean is a rare item, the captain was very happy.
Chapter 453
The team leader waved his hands to the surrounding Tubo soldiers, then turned to the man and said, "It's not that I'm trying to make things difficult for you. Tuyuhun has not been peaceful these few days, and some spies from Tuyuhun crossed the Yak River and entered Tubo to inquire about the military situation."
"However, it is not easy for you businessmen. If you are unlucky, you encountered the war in Tuyuhun, but you are lucky if you didn't lose your life and came back. I still have official duties, military master, so I won't embarrass you. Leave quickly, don't Delayed."
At this time, the captain's attitude was much more gentle than before, and there was no fierce look on his face.
The saying that money can turn ghosts around will never be outdated.
The river patrol team was originally a fat job, and there were not a few business travelers who smuggled in because they couldn't get the customs clearance documents. As long as they were given enough money, these Tubo river patrol soldiers would not deliberately make things difficult.
Taking people's money to eliminate disasters with others, so that their meat can be eaten for a longer time, this matter has long been tacitly understood.
As for whether there is any subtle work mixed in, they don't care at all.
Because there is an unwritten rule for them to patrol the river, all those who come in will be allowed to pass, as for those who sneak out, that is another matter.
"Thank you, Mr. Jun, thank you, Mr. Jun."
The man bared his black teeth and arched his dirty hands.
"Okay, okay, let's leave quickly..." The captain became impatient, and his face became gloomy again.
That person stopped talking nonsense, and ran away with Ding Yue and the others.
Several people ran for about ten miles, the man turned his head to look at Ding Yue, with a serious face, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I can only send you here, give me the rest of the money, and we will settle it. "
"By the way, I just met the river patrol team, and you have to pay the money."
"If you want to go back, you can find me in the Highland Barley Tavern in Tushan Town, west of Guandu Wharf, in three days, but the price will be doubled."
Facing Ding Yue, he no longer had the humble look towards the team leader just now, and his face was full of arrogance.
The language switches between Tubo and Chinese very freely.
It turned out that this person was not Ding Yue's subordinate, but someone he found at the border between the two countries to smuggle people.
These people are called water dragons in the industry, but they are actually a group of smuggling leaders who lead people to smuggle and earn gray money.
Water dragons are what they call themselves, and outsiders call them water mice.
There are more and more people smuggling across the border between Tubo and Tuyuhun, and this kind of gray occupation has naturally formed. What's more, organizations have been secretly established to share resources.
Each line has its own rules, they just lead the way, and don't ask who the visitors are.
Ding Yue nodded, took out a small bag of golden beans from his bosom and threw it into his hands, saying lightly, "You don't need to look for it."
The man shook the bag in his hand, feeling a little light, and immediately frowned.
When he opened the bag and saw that it was full of golden beans, the corners of his mouth couldn't help grinning. Most of the businessmen he encountered in their business were down-and-out businessmen, and he had seen those who reneged on their debts, but it was rare for them to be so generous.
Immediately he raised his head and said to Ding Yue: "Brother, I think you are not from the local area. I shouldn't talk too much, but I still want to advise you. Recently, Tibet is not peaceful. I heard that Songtsan Gampo is going to attack Domi Pass. , there is a Tubo army camp around the Yak River, you must not set yourself on fire, if you lose your life because of this, it will not be worth the loss."
"Hehe..." Ding Yue chuckled lightly, and said indifferently, "Thank you brother for reminding me, see you at the Highland Barley Tavern in three days."
The man waved his hand, "Use people's money to eliminate disasters, the green hills will not change, and the green water will flow forever. We will meet in the future."
After the words fell, the man stopped delaying, turned around and ran towards the distant hillside.
A person beside Ding Yue said: "Battle Commander, it seems that Songtsan Gampo did not escape when he attacked Domi Pass. Even the water rats know about this news."
Ding Yue replied: "Songtsan Gampo wants to attack Domi Pass, His Royal Highness has expected it, we are here to inquire about Tubo's deployment strategy for attacking Domi Pass, and other movements of the Tibetan army, His Highness feels relieved Tsangampo will not be so simple as to just attack Domi Pass."
The voice just fell.
A sound of hoofbeats came from afar.
Ding Yue squinted and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and hide."
Immediately afterwards, several people quickly groped towards the bushes beside them.
a little while...
A group of thousands of cavalry galloped towards the east, very fast.
Ding Yue looked at the back of the cavalry thoughtfully, and then said softly: "Let's go into the city and find out accurate information as soon as possible."
……
three days later.
Li Chengqian and his party arrived at the last city in the southwestern region of Tuyuhun, Zhonglong City.
into the night...
Li Chengqian was discussing the art of war with several people when a guard suddenly broke in, "His Royal Highness, a secret letter from General Ding."
Hearing this, Xue Rengui hurried forward, took the secret letter and handed it to him.
Li Chengqian took the secret letter and shook it off.
"His Royal Highness, what did you say in the letter?" Xue Rengui looked at him eagerly and said impatiently.
Li Chengqian put down the letter and said in a deep voice: "Songtsan Gampo has mobilized 15 troops and wants to attack Domi Pass on the [-]th."
Xue Rengui snorted coldly, "Sure enough, as His Royal Highness expected, Songtsan Gampo can't sit still anymore, but his plan may come to nothing."
Murong Huayun frowned and asked, "Your Highness, is there any other news from General Ding?"
"No." Li Chengqian shook his head lightly, "He said in the letter that according to his estimation, Songtsan Gampo had other actions, but he hasn't found out the truth yet, and just wants us to be more careful."
Murong Huayun nodded, "On the 15th day, that is, two days later, we will arrive in time, but we did not expect Songtsan Gampo to gather an army of [-]. It seems that he wants to take down Domiguan in one go. .”
"He had a good idea." Xue Rengui answered, "We will be able to arrive at Domi Pass tomorrow evening, and we will definitely kill Songtsan Gampo to catch him off guard."
Li Chengqian asked: "General Huayun, there are enough weapons and arrows to defend the city at Domi Pass."
Murong Huayun clasped his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, before we set off, the general will send people to Domi Pass to make arrangements for this matter, and the defense equipment and arrows from several surrounding cities are constantly being transported to Domi Pass. "
"It is more than enough to defend the city."
Li Chengqian looked at Su Dingfang again, "Dingfang, have the Shenwei Army and the Medical Army set off, and when will they arrive at Duomiguan?"
"Return to Your Highness." Su Dingfang stepped forward and cupped his hands: "The Shenwei Army and the Medical Army have set off five days ago, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Duomi Pass by the end of April."
This time they came to Domi Pass, defending Tubo's attack was secondary, the most important thing was to cross the Yak River, sweep Tubo, and dominate the plateau area.
"Okay." Li Chengqian nodded, "Since Songtsan Gampo wants to attack Domi Pass, let's let them have a taste of our strength, and let him know that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the human."
Chapter 454 Spying on the Military Situation
Tibet……
Qiutian City...
Ding Yue led the scout battalion and the four brothers were lurking in the city to investigate intelligence.
This is the Tubo city-state closest to the Yak River. Since the war is about to start, the city is extremely strictly controlled.
Ding Yue spent a lot of money to get into the city smoothly.
For this spying work, Ding Yue specially brought two men who are proficient in Tubo, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"Battalion Commander, I just went out to inquire about it. The Hekui Tavern in the city is the favorite place for Tubo soldiers to go to on weekdays. The Tubo army is not strict. Even in this special period, there are bold soldiers who go there to be cool, and there is a The centurion who often robs passing merchants will go, that person has relatives who are senior officials in the Tubo army, and may have the information we need."
Zhao Tong, the scout battalion, came to Ding Yue and said softly.
