Chapter 4830 Everyone has their own agenda
A country of its own?
Even in the city of Yiludongzan, it is unavoidable that the heart is swaying and the blood is flowing. In the name of the family, a country is created and the descendants are multiplied endlessly. This is the most noble achievement of a self-proclaimed hero in the world, almost unparalleled.
But Lu Dongzan also understands how difficult this is. Now he can travel between Tubo and Tang Dynasty in the name of his tribe. Even if he relies on Tang Dynasty to attack Tubo, he is confident that he can turn his spearhead to Zanpu when the situation suddenly changes. It was hostile to the Tang Dynasty, but once the country was established, it would be a "doorstep" sandwiched between the two superpowers. Not only did it lose its initiative, but it also had to bear unspeakable pressure.
After the founding of the country, when faced with tremendous pressure, did they abandon the country and attach themselves to either Tibet or the Tang Dynasty?
First enjoy the glory of the founding king, and then taste the shame of the subjugated king?
Lu Dongzan will not tie himself to the tribe for the sake of short-term happiness. Although the founding of a country is wonderful, it is also an invisible shackles. It is not yet time.
"Establishing a country? I have never considered this issue. The Gar tribe is just a long-standing, poor and downtrodden tribe on the plateau. It struggles to survive in a bitter and cold land just for reproduction and has no foundation for establishing a country. The current Gar tribe Everyone in the tribe is seeking to annex the Tang Dynasty, and every tribesman hopes to be able to "organize households and unite the people" to become a true Tang people. From now on, calling themselves Tang people is by no means an independent country. "< br>
Which unparalleled hero doesn't want to build a country on his own and have an endless legacy of descendants?
But in front of the Tang Dynasty, he could only show his respect. Even if no one believed in his loyalty, he still had to act loyal...
Pei Xingjian smiled and drank tea. Naturally, he didn't believe a word of what Lu Dongzan said. The Gar tribe is a poisonous snake. When the harsh winter comes, it chooses to lie dormant and seems to be stiff and harmless to humans and animals. But once spring comes, the flowers bloom. When the season is suitable for its growth, it will wander around and choose people to eat.
How could such a poisonous snake be allowed to wander beside the bed?
Therefore, whether it is attached to the Tang Dynasty or a country on its own, it is impossible for the Gar tribe to continue to occupy Fuqi City after this battle.
Although Songtsen Gampo "expelled" Ludongzan from Luoshou City, he was deeply wary of him and did not dare to force him too much, so he chose the old place of Tuyuhun as his resettlement place. The Tuyuhun people have been able to thrive here for hundreds of years. From a tribe that migrated far away and had no foundation, it developed into a powerful tribe that dominates one area. You can get a glimpse of the superiority of Fuqi City and the Qinghai Lake area.
It is uniquely endowed with abundant water and grass, abundant rainfall, and flat terrain suitable for livestock raising. It also protects the trade route between Tang Dynasty and Tibet.
The Gar tribe has a far deeper foundation than Tuyuhun. It is led by a strategist with outstanding resourcefulness such as Ludongzan, and there are also Zanxiruo, Lunqinling, Bolunzanren, Zanpo and others who are both civil and military. If the son of a contemporary hero takes over, he will surely become a serious problem sooner or later.
If the Gar tribe is allowed to thrive here for decades, a Tuyuhun may not be born again...
Therefore, the fate of the Gar tribe has been determined. Either the whole tribe will be broken up and resettled in the capitals of the Tang Dynasty, or they will move out of their hometown of Tuyuhun and choose a place to the west of Congling to settle down.
Of course, the premise is that Tubo's national power can be consumed so that Tubo will not have the strength to invade the borders of the Tang Dynasty within ten years.
Lu Dongzan frowned. How could he not know that the Tang Dynasty was afraid of the Gar tribe? It is even more clear that the Gar tribe had no room to resist under the military power of the Tang Dynasty, and could only be reduced to the pawns of the Tang Dynasty and shed their last drop of blood in the battle with Tibet.
It's just that although the conspiracy of the Tang Dynasty was unbreakable, Lu Dongzan never intended to act honestly according to the orders of the Tang Dynasty. Under the pressure of the Tang Dynasty, this battle had to be fought, but when and when it would be fought. To what extent it will be achieved is not necessarily decided by Datang.
*****
The green grass in the gaps between the bricks in front of the porch has been covered with white frost. It is wilted and decayed, without the prosperity of summer. The withered yellow leaves cover the courtyard. When you step on it, the slight sound of the broken veins of the leaves is like a groan. The spring is prosperous and the autumn is withered for a lifetime. It passed by in a blink of an eye and fell to the ground as messy as mud.
Will it merge into the soil and quietly disappear from now on, or will it return to the branches along the roots in the coming spring?
Songtsen Gampo was wearing a dark red monk's robe and straw sandals as he walked through the courtyard covered with fallen leaves. He stopped at the stone steps in front of the door and raised his head to look at the bare branches swaying in the wind and the snow-capped mountains that could be seen through the branches. , a little dazed.
The morning sun shines brightly on the top of the snow-capped mountains like a miracle, full of divine power and holiness.
Then he walked into the house.
Sambuza, Chisang Yangdun, and Serugondun, who had not been seen for a long time, were all waiting here. When they saw Zampu entering, they all stood up and knelt down to salute.
"No courtesy, please sit down."
"Thank you Zamp."
The monarchs and ministers sat down cross-legged around a coffee table. Butter tea was boiling on the stove nearby, and the aroma was fragrant.
Seeing that the teapot was already boiling, Sambuza stood up, picked up the teapot, poured the tea soup into a pot filled with milk, stirred it slightly and it became butter tea, filled the white porcelain cups in front of several people, and then sat down.
Songtsan Gampo took a sip from the tea cup. It was slightly salty in the mouth, and the oil contained a fragrance. He nodded and praised Sambuza: "The craftsmanship has been greatly improved."
Sambuza said with a smile: "This batch of tea bricks imported from the Tang Dynasty is of high quality, so the butter tea brewed is particularly fragrant."
Songtsan Gampo took another sip, placed the cup on the coffee table, and sighed: "Yes, this crystal clear porcelain cup and the fragrant tea brick are all from the Tang Dynasty. As long as we want to live a comfortable life, To be more luxurious, you cannot do without the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, you can only use poor pottery cups and drink black tea bricks. ”
In all walks of life and from any angle, as long as there is some pursuit of better things, it is inseparable from Datang. Datang's economy, culture, manufacturing, etc. are all unparalleled in the world.
Several ministers could not accept this and could only remain silent.
Songtsan Gambo waved his hand and ignored the topic: "Tell me, why was Huashixia defeated by Lunqinling in one battle, without even being able to parry? I heard that someone in Luoche City had already attacked Lunqinling. Known as the 'Tubo Army God', this is not a good thing. ”
What is the war about?
It's combat power, logistics, and morale.
Now, with the successive victories of the Gar tribe, the troops marched forward to conquer one pass after another. The Tubo army lost consecutive battles, lost troops and lost ground. The morale between them has been reversed. When more and more people believe that Qinling is invincible , during the confrontation, we will naturally be discouraged, timid and frightened, resulting in our own inability to exert its due combat effectiveness, and it may really be possible to continue to fail.
This trend must be reversed.
Chisang Yangdun held the tea cup and said: "As for the Qinling Army, there are 'armored cavalry' equipped with Tang Army armor. The charge is unstoppable and the attack is invincible. Subi Yangxiong failed to obey Zanpu's order. Yu withdrew to Huashi Gorge as early as possible to assist in the defense but tried to block Lun Qinling in Liemo Sea. As a result, the front line was scattered and he was defeated in embarrassment. Although he led the remaining troops The troops withdrew to Huashixia, but Subi Mojie failed to collect the broken troops and reorganize them in time. Instead, he took the opportunity to get rid of Subi Yangxiong, thus missing the opportunity to fight... In this battle, Qinling used a "rocket" to cause the defenders to form a formation. The chaos, although this was one of the reasons for the defeat, I think Subi Mojie must bear full responsibility.”
When analyzing the Battle of Huashixia, he tried his best to suppress the gloating in his heart and kept his tone calm so as not to cause Zanpu's displeasure.
But the meaning behind the words is very obvious. Compared with Lebujie's entire army being wiped out by a sudden surprise attack, Subi Mojie had a large army and was fully prepared to guard the Huashixia natural moat, but was defeated and the loss was even greater. mistakes.
It's okay for Lebuge to make mistakes. As long as there are others who have made bigger mistakes than him, they can naturally cover up their guilt and enable the tribe to escape Zamp's punishment...
Sambuza glanced at Chisang Yangdun and said nothing, but asked Songtsen Gampo: "Subi Mojie has returned to Luoche City, crying and asking to see Zanpu. Has Zanpu seen her?" ?”
Songtsen Gampo did not answer, but asked: "How is the battle at Zishan Pass?"
Chisang Yang Dun sighed, shook his head and said: "On Qinling, after capturing Huashi Gorge, he only made some adjustments and then went straight to Zishan Pass. He used his 'rockets' to set fire to a large amount of grain and baggage in the inn, causing panic, and then used thunder to shake the sky. After blowing up the wall and continuing to charge, the defenders at Zishankou have repelled Luon Qinling's charges several times, but the losses have been huge and the morale of the defenders is low, so they may not be able to withstand it. "
New weapons such as "Thunder" and "Rockets" are so powerful that they make the high walls of the fortified city that were originally relied upon in the war useless. What's even more terrible is that the "Rockets" can fly over the battlefield and directly attack the rear troops, which has a great impact on the morale of the army. The blow to morale was extremely severe.
"There is no room for error at Zishan Pass."
Songtsen Gampo's cold face showed anger.
Zishan Pass is the real gateway to Tubo. Once Zishan Pass is lost, Lun Qinling's army will directly set foot on the land that Zanpu personally leads. There are only a few dangerous passes left from Luoche City. If they are captured again If it breaks through one or two fronts, it will reach the gate of Luozhe City.
By that time, the trouble would be big. Not only would Qin Ling be invincible in a long-range attack, but also the various tribes dormant under his rule would definitely be ready to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
Rebellion is not necessary, but if he takes the opportunity to put forward some conditions that he would never agree to in the past, it will indirectly shake his rule over Tubo.
This is absolutely unacceptable.
So he looked at Serugondun with an expression full of expectation: "It seems that Aiqing needs to personally take action."
Chisang Yangton lowered his head and drank butter tea, trying his best to hide the unwillingness and anger in his eyes.
It stands to reason that the suppression of Zishan Pass is the responsibility of him, the minister in charge of the Tubo military. Not only is it within the scope of his authority, but it also means that Zampu does not still trust Lebuge because of his guilt, but now Letting Serugongdun leave the Zishan Pass, he, the military minister, was disgraced.
There was no expression on Serugondun's broad face, and he said calmly: "I obey your orders."
Songtsan Gampo nodded and said to Sangbuza: "Let Subi Mojie come to see me later."
"Yes."(End of Chapter)
