Chapter 25: Tubo Destroyed
Jishi Mountain is extremely dangerous, and every pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is almost impossible to break these passes. The chapter is updated the fastest. It is logical that the Tang army's march in Jishi Mountain should be very dangerous. However, the fact is that the Tang army's advance was extremely smooth, beyond imagination.
For the Tang army, this time the march into Jishi Mountain was not only not at all dangerous, but also had a lot of fun, just like traveling.
"Haha, this march is really unforgettable for life. I fought dozens of battles of all sizes, but never was as relaxed and enjoyable as this time."
"Yes, yes. In the first level, we originally thought we would fight a war. Even if we didn't fight, we would push Zanpu out and persuade him to surrender. No one expected that the Tubo dog would actually live impatiently, run out of the city to greet us, and ask us for rewards. We are honest and do not polite, and give them a knife and send them to see their Songtsen Gampo."
"The second level and the third level are all like this. They ran out of the city to greet us and wanted to ask for rewards, but we did not disappoint them and gave them a good reward."
The Tang army marched and joked. The atmosphere was extremely good, relaxed and pleasant.
This is a big deal for the Tang army. There are many unexpected things in this marching. Starting from the first pass, Tubo regards them as the victory-returned Tubo army. The Tubo army guarding the pass drove out of the city to welcome the Tang army in order to want some souvenirs.
According to their thoughts, Tubo will definitely win this time, and Tubo will take advantage of the situation to rise. After such a big victory, Tubo will definitely have a generous capture, and it will be very generous to ask for some rewards. These Tubo soldiers do not want to be too beautiful.
"Zanpu. Did you see it? We were all in the process of fighting and we could easily get three passes." Xue Zhi rode on the horse and sneered at Du Songmangbujie beside him, "Your dream is so beautiful!"
If Du Songmangbujie's dream was not beautiful enough, the Tubo soldiers would not follow this blindly, and would not have made the Tang army so relaxed.
"Oh." Du Songmang Buye saw with his own eyes how blind optimistic Tubo was. He was a little unbelievable, and he only sighed after hearing this.
"There are three more passes, and we can pass Jishishan. As long as we pass Jishishan, Tubo will inevitably perish." Xue Zhi looked happy on his face and shouted at the Tang army: "You can be happy, don't make any mistakes, you must take down the other three passes."
"Affect the order." Taking down the pass in Jishi Mountain is a grand event that has never been seen since Pangu's creation. It has extremely important historical significance. All the soldiers are happy to follow.
Soon, we arrived at the fourth pass.
The Tubo soldiers stationed at this pass were blindly optimistic and very happy, and hurriedly reported to the guards here.
After receiving the report, the Tubo general came to the city and looked at it, raised his eyebrows and ordered loudly: "Prepare for the battle!"
"Fight? General, have you made a mistake? That's the warrior of the Great Tubo! The warrior of the Great Tubo who returned from victory!" The Tubo soldiers lost their eyes all over the ground in surprise. It was obviously the Tubo army, so they were just fighting.
"They are not warriors of the Great Tubo, they are the hateful Tang army." The guard general was smart and shouted: "The Tang army has strong combat power. Even if the Tang army suffered heavy casualties due to miasma, poison and plague, it still has good combat power. The Great Tubo cannot win in such a short time."
The Tang army was so powerful that Tubo had a deep understanding of the battle of Dafeichuan twenty years ago. Tubo attacked Xue Rengui's 400,000 troops with a large army of 400,000, and could not be wiped out completely. This shows how terrifying the Tang army's combat power was.
Nowadays, even if the Tang army is infected with miasma, plague is prevalent, and there are heavy casualties and injuries, which has a huge impact on combat effectiveness, it is impossible for Tubo to win in such a short period of time. This judgment is very reasonable.
"But, General, how do you determine that this is the Tang army?" Some Tubo soldiers were very puzzled.
"Because the Tang army won, the Great Tubo was defeated." The general's eyes were filled with tears.
"Impossible! Impossible!"
"How could the Great Tubo be defeated? The Great Tubo cannot fail!"
The Tubo soldiers shouted, looking disbelief.
"Even if the Great Tubo wins, it is impossible to win in such a short time. This army is not the warriors of the Great Tubo, so where did they come from? They must be the Tang army! Since they are the Tang army, how could they come here? Only the Tang army won, and came to Jishi Pass with the remaining power of the great victory. They wanted to take down Jishi Mountain, build a road, advance to the road, and destroy the Great Tubo." The general reacted very quickly, and in just a short while, he figured it out.
"..." The Tubo soldiers were speechless, and only this statement was reasonable.
"Huh." Tang Jun was surprised when he saw it.
"How come no one came to greet us?"
"Did they see through it?"
In the first three passes, Tubo soldiers came to greet them as if they were welcoming heroes. Now the Tubo soldiers stationed at this pass have not come to greet them, which really surprised them.
"The Tang army stopped." The Tubo general shouted.
"This person is good." Xue Zhi looked at the Tubo general with admiration: "I am Xue Zhi, I dare to ask the general's name Gao."
"Xue Zhi? Is it the grandson of General Zuo Xiaowei?" The Tubo general was very surprised.
Because in the battle twenty years ago, Xue Rengui was still honored even though he was defeated, and his reputation spread in Tubo, and many Tubo people admired him very much.
"That's right." Xue Zhi was also surprised.
"I am Gesan Licuo, and I have met General Xue." Gesan Licuo asked loudly, "Is Zanpu here?"
"How can I see it?" Xue Zhi said.
"After General Xue, the Tang army must have won a great victory. Dafeichuan only has a few roads in and out. Since the Tang army had already made plans, it will definitely send a large army to block all roads and important places in the mountains that can pass through. The Great Tubo this time will be defeated by no one, and Zanpu will definitely be captured by you." Gesang Licuo analyzed loudly.
Xue Zhi's eyes shone, and he looked at Gesang Licuo, and his appreciation became even stronger.
"What you said may not be right? Can't Zamp wipe his neck?" Xue Zhi decided to take the test again.
"The general must have wanted to open up Jishi Mountain. To open up Jishi Mountain, the best way is to capture Zanpu alive and persuade Zanpu to surrender. Therefore, I expected that Zanpu would come with him." Gesanlicuo said.
"Okay! OK! OK!" Xue Zhi raised his thumb, praised him endlessly, and said with a smile: "I really didn't expect that Tubo would have such a great person as you! Unfortunately, if you could be reused, Tubo would not have been like this."
"The general is too much." Gesanlicuo said humbly.
Xue Zhi asked someone to take Dusongmangbujie up and said, "Did the general see it? This is Zamp. You are right. He has been captured alive by us. I am escorting him to persuade him to surrender this time. What should the general do?"
"Gesanglicuo, you are good, very good! Unfortunately, I have never found a talent like you before." Du Songmangbu also praised this person and said with regret: "If there were people around me who were so sensible to you, the Great Tubo would not have been today."
Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said, "Gesan Licuo, you are very wise and have a bright future. General Xue appreciates you. I think Li Longji will appreciate you too, so you will surrender."
"Zamp." Gesanlicuo burst into tears.
"Subdued. There is no hope for the Great Tubo." Du Songmang Bujie said again.
Gesanlicuo did not take action.
"General, Zamp's words are right, and there is something wrong." Xue Zhi began to persuade, saying, "General is indeed a talent. I admire you, and the prince will also appreciate you. As long as you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, you will definitely have a bright future. He is right."
The tone of voice turned higher and said, "He said that with you by his side, Tubo would not be like this now. This is not right. Why? Because Tubo's big theories, small theories, regular affairs and ministers all took high positions because of their ancestors, not because they had extraordinary talents. Even if the generals are extremely talented, they will be jealous of them and will not have a place to use their skills."
Tubo is hereditary system, big and small, and the whole story is hereditary and passed down from generation to generation. Du Songmang Bujie himself is quite smart, but most of the people around him are mediocre people, which is an important reason for his failure.
"Oh." Du Songmangbujie agreed with this and sighed.
Gesanlicuo still had no movement.
"General, surrender." Du Songmang Bujie persuaded: "The Great Tubo suffered heavy casualties and it is difficult to restore the power of manpower. If you cannot gain Li Longji's trust and fight for the Great Tubo, then the Great Tubo will be finished."
"Open the city gate." At this point, Tubo will die even if it does not perish. If someone can gain Li Longji's trust, it will be beneficial to Tubo, and Gesanglicuo will also be surrendered if it does not surrender.
In this way, the fourth level was won.
The remaining two passes were still the same as the previous three passes. The Tubo soldiers thought that the Tubo army had returned victoriously, so they opened the city gate to greet them, but were easily taken by Xue Zhi.
In this way, Jishishan, a dangerous place that blocked our ancestors, was taken down.
Our ancestors have been attacking Jishishan for hundreds of years and have been doing it since the Han Dynasty. Zhao Chongguo, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, was the first general to reach Jishishan. Since then, people have attacked Jishishan from time to time. However, because Jishishan is too dangerous and it is difficult to cross the line.
The destruction of Jishi Mountain means that the door of Logizhai is open and the demise of Tubo is not far away.
"Come here, report to the prince that Jishishan has been taken down!" Xue Zhi ordered loudly.
Immediately someone rushed away and reported the news to Li Longji.
The news was immediately reached Li Longji. After Li Longji received the report, he couldn't help laughing: "Haha! Jishishan is taken down, and Tubo is about to perish!"
"Jishishan has been taken down? The prince should send troops immediately." The generals shouted in unison, all of whom were happy as if they were in the New Year.
"Send troops to destroy Tubo!" Li Longji ordered loudly.
The Tang army was dispatched like a long dragon, passing through Jishi Mountain and taking more logic.
Li Longji led all the generals to meet with Xue Zhi and headed straight for the logic.
