Chapter 12: Tubo Shock Fear

How difficult it is to beat the stone castle city, it is not unclear. If he believes that it is impossible to beat the Tang Dynasty. He would rather an old sow be able to climb a tree and a man can give birth to a child than believe that this is true.

The person who reported the news was so angry that it was obviously extremely urgent for military information, but the only one who listened to the joke was just a joke. This was speechless.

"This joke is really funny! It's the funnyest joke I've ever heard!" Dalun laughed so hard that he laughed, and said, "It's rare to hear such a funny joke in the world, and it's worth drinking."

"The ancients had a good story about using poetry to accompany wine. We used jokes to accompany wine to prevent the ancients from being beautiful!" Xiao Lun smiled so hard that he covered his stomach and screamed.

"Zamp, what I'm talking about..." The person who reported the news was eager to confirm, but he interrupted Du Songmangbujie rudely.

"You want to say what you said is true, right?" Du Songmangbujie smiled and said happily, "I know what you said is true."

"Really?" This person's eyes are full of hope. Zanpu is Zanpu, who is extraordinary.

"It's really a funny joke." Du Songmangbujie focused his head, and looked at his hard work, almost breaking his neck.

"Uh." The man made a sound of grinding his teeth and was speechless.

"Get wine and drink." He shouted.

Immediately, a servant brought high-quality wine to pour it for the Tubo monarchs and ministers.

"This glass of wine is called a good wine, why do you say so? It's not that the wine is brewed well, but that his joke is well said!" Du Songmang Bujie held the golden cup and drank it happily, and smiled: "For so many years, no one has been talking about Shibao City. You can't help laughing. Do you think so?"

"That's right!" The echo sounded like thunder.

"Report to Zanpu: The Tang army captured Shibao City." As soon as he finished speaking, someone came in to report the military information.

"Fild!" Du Songmang Bujie's eyes rolled, and his light shone coldly, and said coldly: "If you want to tell jokes, you have to use more thoughts. He has already told this joke, and it is not funny at all if you say it."

The second person who reported the news was stunned and speechless.

I clearly said that I would report military information. Why did it become a joke again?

The servant poured fine wine for everyone, and brought it to his mouth and wanted to drink it dry in one sip.

"Report to Zanpu, something big is wrong, something big is wrong, the Shibao City was captured by the Tang army." At this moment, the disappointed people came, and five people rushed in hurriedly and shouted from afar.

"Yes." Du Songmang Bujie was stunned, his eyes shining brightly. He stared at the five people.

"Are you telling the truth?" One person can joke, two people can tell lies. Can seven people still tell lies?

Du Songmangbujie had to be surprised.

"Report to Zanpu: Shibao City was captured by the Tang army, and the Tang army has entered Dafeichuan." Before he could finish his sentence, a group of people rushed in with panic on their faces and reported the news from afar.

"This..." Du Songmang Bujie was shocked, his hands trembled, and the golden cup in his hand slammed on the ground, and the wine splashed everywhere, splashing all over him, and he didn't realize it.

"Bang! Bang!" The wine glasses in the ministers' hands hit the ground one by one, and the wine splashed and the ground was wet.

One person can lie about military affairs, two people can lie about military affairs, can more than a dozen or twenty people still lie about military affairs?

Obviously impossible!

Although the Tubo monarchs and ministers were unwilling to believe it, they had to believe it.

"This... the stone castle city is so strong that the Tang Dynasty attacked many times, but there were no 100,000 casualties, and there were still 80,000. It was not defeated. How could it go down in one fell swoop?" Du Songmangbu, who finally reacted, looked confused.

Even if he wanted to break his head, he couldn't figure out that the stone castle city, which was so strong and difficult to beat, was actually captured by the Tang army in one fell swoop.

You should know that the Tang Dynasty had been fighting Shibao City for decades, and there were no more than 100,000 or 80,000 casualties, and they were not able to be defeated. This time, the Tang Dynasty took Shibao City in one fell swoop, and the Tang army had entered Dafeichuan. Dusongmangbujie had to figure out how Shibao City was thrown away.

"Yes." The ministers also wanted to figure it out.

"Reported to Zanpu, the Tang army raised ashes on the top of the mountain opposite the Shibao City, and the gray fog rushed over. The warriors of the Great Tubo entered the ashes and could not see them. The Tang army took advantage of the situation to attack and went to Shibao City in one fell swoop." A person who reported the news was bold enough to report.

"Yang... Hui?" Du Songmang Bujie felt dry mouth, weak all over, and his eyes turned black, and he was almost fainting.

"Gugu." A strange sound came from the throats of the ministers, and their faces changed drastically.

Shibao City is the most important pass in Tubo. None of them are all very familiar with Shibao City. If the Tang army spread gray opposite Shibao City, as long as they are optimistic about Fengfang, Shibao City will lose its combat power.

They have to be afraid to understand this.

Losing the Shibao City means that the gate of Dafeichuan has been opened, and the Tang army can enter Dafeichuan without any obstacles. Think about it, twenty years ago, Xue Rengui only led 50,000 Tang army into Dafeichuan, and almost took Dafeichuan. This time, the Tang army made a comeback, and it would definitely not be 50,000, but more, 100,000, 200,000, or even 300,000.

With so many Tang troops rushing in, can Tubo still protect Dafeichuan?

Dafeichuan has a warm climate and abundant water and grass, and is an excellent natural pasture. A large part of Tubo's cattle, sheep, and horses are produced in Dafeichuan, which is one of the most important economic zones in Tubo.

Once it is defeated by the Tang army, the strength of Tubo will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, Tubo could no longer threaten the Hexi Corridor. The Tang Dynasty could do its best to manage the Western Regions. Tubo's idea of ​​owning the Western Regions would be in vain.

The most important point is that the Tang Dynasty was closer to Tubo and posed a huge threat to Tubo. Strategically speaking, it was that Tubo was passive, and the Tang Dynasty had the initiative.

The consequences are too serious, and the Tubo monarch and ministers must not be stupid.

"What should I do?" After a long time, Du Songmang Bujie finally woke up and asked in fear.

Frankly speaking, Dusongmangbujie is a powerful leader of Tubo. This person is very brave and smart, but the consequences of losing Dafeichuan are too serious, which will allow Tubo to return to the pre-liberation period overnight and return to the Songtsen Gampo period.

Although Songtsen Gampo was the greatest Zampo in Tubo history and unified Tubo, during his reign, Tubo was very weak. Tubo was truly powerful, and it happened after he obtained Dafeichuan.

When I returned to the Songtsen Gampo period, which was the weak period of Tubo, I thought about the terrible consequences, and Songmangbu was shocked when I thought about it.

"Zanpu, no matter how scared you are, it's useless. You have to calm down and make some plans." Da Lun was also frightened, but he had to endure his fear and remind Du Songmangbujie.

"You are right in the big speech. It's already like this. No matter how afraid it is, it's useless. You have to calm down. You must be calm." Du Songmang Bujie took a breath and forced himself to calm down.

"The loss of Shibao City is certainly beyond our expectations, but the warriors of the Great Tubo are not vegetarians. As long as we make up our minds, we can fight to the death with the Tang army." Du Songmang Bujie is worthy of being a famous master in Tubo's history. Once he calms down, he can think deeply and said: "Ben Zanpu believes that the Great Tubo needs to do three things at present: one is to mobilize troops and prepare for a great battle with the Tang army; the second is to prepare for peace talks; and the third is to prepare for a defense of Jishishan."

"Zao Pu's wise!" The ministers praised it in unison.

"Dafeichuan is too important to the Great Tubo. It is precisely because of the Dafeichuan that Tubo is so powerful that it poses a threat to the Tang Dynasty and seriously threatens the Hexi Corridor, making the Tang Dynasty unable to manage the Western Regions with all its strength. Therefore, Dafeichuan cannot be lost no matter what, and must be taken back. Even if it is a decisive battle with the Tang Dynasty, it is still willing to do so." Dalun analyzed.

"That's right." The ministers agreed.

Dafeichuan is too important to Tubo. It not only has extremely important economic value, but also has extremely important strategic value and has an extremely important position in national security. Therefore, Dafeichuan must not be lost, even if it is a great battle with the Tang Dynasty.

"The great argument is reasonable, but the Tang army is well-trained, well-equipped, strict commands, excellent tactics, able to conquer and fight well, and recently slaughtered millions of Turks. Can we fight against the Tang army?" Then, a minister posed a very cruel real question in fear.

The ministers all pursed their lips tightly, their eyes flashed, and their faces were filled with fear, and they were unable to answer.

How great the Tang army was. Tubo, one of the main enemies of the Tang Dynasty, knew very well that Tubo had fought with the Tang Dynasty for so many years. If it weren't for the mountains and forests to rely on, it would have been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty ten or eight times.

Think about it, the Turks are so powerful that their national strength is much stronger than Tubo. Didn’t they be destroyed by the Tang Dynasty? The number of times the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks was not once, but twice.

Especially the second destruction of the Turks was the most terrifying, and it killed millions of people at one time!

If you massacre millions of people at once, you can’t find them by searching through history books. Who can’t be surprised? Who can’t be afraid?

In contrast, Tubo's national strength was not as strong as the Tang Dynasty and its military strength was not as strong as the Tang Dynasty. The army's training, equipment, orders, tactics and tactics were not as strong as the Tang army, and it was left several streets away by the Tang army.

Not to mention the distance, let’s talk about the recent war, which was the Battle of Dafeichuan. Xue Rengui only brought 50,000 Tang troops into Dafeichuan. When Guo Kaifeng lost the food and grass and suffered a considerable loss, Xue Rengui had only 40,000 troops. At that time, Tubo dispatched troops that were thriving in the country, with 400,000, which was ten times that of the Tang army.

Under the leadership of Dalun at that time, he launched a series of attacks on the Tang army, hoping to completely annihilate the Tang army. However, the final result was that Tubo suffered heavy casualties, countless casualties, and countless bodies were accumulated like a mountain. Dalun had to give up his plan to completely annihilate Xue Rengui, and had to take the initiative to negotiate with Xue Rengui and let Xue Rengui leave.

This is a lesson learned at the cost of blood.

If the Tang army at that time had not lost the food and grass, resulting in a low morale and unstable military morale, the 400,000 Tubo army might have been defeated.
