Pei Xingjian naturally agreed without saying anything.
On the other side, a few days later, Tubo.
Songtsen Gampo was already fully dressed, wearing armor and a sword at his waist. In front of him was the mighty Tibetan army.
Although the Tibetan envoys previously said that there were 200,000 troops on the border of the Tang Dynasty, they could not be counted because it was a false report.
??For example, a million-strong army cannot reach the number of one million. It would be great to have 200,000.
The same is true this time. The number of Songtsen Gampo's troops is about 50,000.
But, it¡¯s enough.
Songtsen Gampo drew out his long sword, looked at the generals in front of Chisang Yangdun, and said directly: "Everyone, I, Tubo, rose up on the cold and bitter plateau and was bullied by others many times. I led you to overcome thorns and thorns, and only then did Tubo become what it is today. "
"oh!"
"oh!"
"oh!"
The generals and soldiers below were shouting.
Songtsen Gampo said again: "Today, someone insulted me again, Tubo. I sent people to propose to the Tang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the Tang Dynasty repeatedly refused. Later, I found out that it was Tuyuhun who was destroying it. How could I let him go?" Pass them?"
"cannot!"
"Very well, everyone, go with me to attack Tuyuhun, defeat their tribes, kill their men, rob their women, and rob their cattle and sheep!"
Songtsen Gampo roared!
The soldiers and generals below were shouting like they were drunk, their eyes were red.
What Songtsen Gampo said in the front is not important, only the last few sentences, killing people and grabbing things, are the most important!
After all, with the exception of the Tang Dynasty, the surrounding clan-states have basically not completely broken away from the slave society. Burning, killing, and looting are normal.
Soon, the Tubo army set off directly.
In this Tubo army, there are also equipment purchased from the Tang Dynasty, forming an elite soldier of thousands of people.
The Tubo army marched all the way, and within a few days, they arrived at Tuyuhun. The geographical area where they were located was probably the river source area.
On the Tuyuhun side, it was obvious that they had also received the forewarning from the spies and immediately sent an envoy.
Songtsen Gampo sat in the tent and looked at the envoy who came over.
"Your Majesty, I, Tuyuhun, and Tubo have never had any enmity or enmity. Why do you want to attack us?"
"No injustice or enmity? Humph, I sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty to propose marriage. If you, Tuyuhun, hadn't interfered with it, I would have married the princess long ago. Since you have interfered with it, don't blame me for being rude!"
The envoy panicked: "Your Majesty, we don't have Tuyuhun. I have never heard of this. Your Majesty, can you please wait a moment while I go back to ask my king for instructions. There may be some misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? There is no misunderstanding! It's you Tuyuhun! Come and see the guests off!"
Such a tough stance, no matter how mean the words are, still shows an attitude, that is, no matter what you say, I will fight.
Although it is said that teachers have a reputation, in many cases, this "name" or excuse is very ridiculous.
Tuyuhun¡¯s envoy was driven back.
Songtsen Gampo had a sneer on his lips. The map of Tuyuhun was oriented northwest and southeast, and it was slanted. He could just kill it all the way from the northwest.
On the other side, Nuohebo, the king of Tuyuhun County, was walking around in the tent like an ant on a hot pot.
"Your Majesty, what should we do?"
In the tent, several of the courtiers in Tuyuhunli had solemn expressions.
None of them thought that Tibet, which had always been peaceful, would suddenly send troops and attack them directly!
From the eighth year to the ninth year of Zhenguan, when Li Jing defeated Tuyuhun, Tuyuhun's overall strength has not slowed down at all. It has only been a year or two now, and Tuyuhun's domestic production has not kept up. The number of cattle and sheep of the entire tribe and the population Their numbers have not been restored, and their military strength is completely insufficient. Now let them encounter Tibet. Isn't this looking for death?
"Has the envoy to Tang Dynasty already set off?"
"Your Majesty, we have already set off. We have chosen the best fast horse, but it is estimated that it will take a day or two to send this news to Chang'an. I am afraid that by then it will be too late."
Another minister hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, although we surrender to the Tang Dynasty, will they really save us? Maybe the Tang Dynasty will refuse to save us."
"Yes, so we have to think of another way, wait, waitLet¡¯s wait until the envoy from the Tibetan army comes back. "
Nuohebo also had a solemn face. He didn't have much ability. He was granted the throne because after Tuyuhun was defeated, the ministers in the country seized power and everything was in chaos. Therefore, his father was killed and he was granted the title of Prince of Heyuan County.
The rest of the people in the tent could only nod.
At this moment, the previous messenger came on a fast horse and entered the tent directly.
"Your Majesty."
Nuohebo was quite anxious: "So, what does the King of Tubo say?"
The envoy looked frightened: "Your Majesty, Tubo said that they sent troops because they sent an envoy to Chang'an to make peace with the princess and asked the princess to marry. However, the Tang Dynasty did not agree, so they said that we were obstructing it, so they were angry with us."
"What?!"
Nuo Hebo was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.
The rest of the people inside the tent were also shocked and angry.
"Your Majesty, this is simply nonsense, a deliberate reason and excuse."
"Yes, I think Tibet just wants to attack us!"
Those ministers were furious, but the envoy continued: "Tubo will definitely attack us, and it is very likely that they will launch an attack tomorrow. Your Majesty, what should we do?"
"tomorrow¡¡"
Nuohebo frowned tightly. If Tibet attacked tomorrow, the Tang Dynasty's rescue would definitely be too late and they could only rely on themselves.
The atmosphere inside the tent was a little solemn. Nuo Hebo finally felt relieved and said directly: "Get ready for battle."
"Your Majesty, do you really want to fight?"
There was a minister who was a little worried in his heart. They were also worried about the power of Tubo. Previously, Tuyuhun was sandwiched between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty.
"What can we do if we don't fight? We are now the ministers of the Tang Dynasty. If we don't fight, we won't let the Tang Dynasty think of us."
"But Your Majesty, we can't win."
Nuo Hebo said in a deep voice: "If we lose, we will take the tribe's troops and flee towards Qinghai tomorrow. We will ignore the rest. When the Tang Dynasty asks questions, we will have answers."
Nuohebo paused for a moment: "If the Tang Dynasty sends troops over and we win, that would be the best. Our officers will be reinstated. If we lose or no troops are sent over, we will surrender to Tubo."
The other ministers also understood and nodded: "Okay, don't worry, Your Majesty, we will make arrangements right away."
Seeing those subordinates leaving, Nuo Hebo sighed, with a lingering worry on his face.
It¡¯s another troubled autumn with the mountains and rain swaying. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
