Chapter 1063: hurt little insult strong

  Chapter 1063 Hurt little and insult strong

   "Xuanxiang, my subordinates have driven Nalu Dongzan away according to Xuanxiang's instructions, and threw two fox tails to him, saying that one will be given to him, and the other will be given to Qi Zongnong."

  Leiguan, Songzhou governor Shi, Ning Yuan army envoy Han Wei came to report to Qin Lang.

"Oh, I see."

  Han Wei hesitated and said, "Why does Minister Xuan value this Tubo man so much? But since he is so important, why let him go back, why not just let him in and chop him up?"

"Correct me, that man's name is Galdong Zan Yusong, or Lundongzan, not Ludongzan. This man's father is the former prime minister of Tubo, Garchizhazimen, also known as Dalun Chizazimen. After his death, although his eldest son Garmang Song Nang lacked seniority and failed to be a prime minister, he made great achievements in the suppression of the chaos. Now he is the most trusted general of Zanpu, and he is in charge of the Tubo military power on behalf of Zanpu. This Gal Dongzan has an extraordinary background, and this person is also very military, resourceful, and deeply trusted by Qi Zongnong."

  Qin Lang stood on the pass tower, looking at Dongzan and his party who returned angrily.

   "How did Prime Minister Xuan know this, and why did he let him go?" Han Wei is a fierce general, brave and resourceful.

  In his opinion, since the other party is a big fish, whether he is an envoy or not, he should be caught first, at least he must first interrogate the military situation of Tubo.

   "No hurry, I want him to bring the fox tail to Qi Zongnong for me."

  Tibetan people are brave and aggressive, and generally reward warriors with tiger and leopard skins to show their bravery, while for cowards, they will hold fox tails on them to show their taunts. Everyone in Tubo hates foxes, and Qin Lang's gift will definitely anger the Tubo people.

  Especially now the Tubo people don’t know the changes in Songzhou. They don’t know that although Qin Qiong died of illness, Qin Lang has come and took over the battle in Songzhou.

  Though Leiguan is dangerous, it is small after all. For the Tubo army with a population of 200,000, it is not really insurmountable.

the other side.

  Dongzan returned without success and returned halfway.

Songtsan Gampo was furious when he saw Dongzan's departure and return, especially when he saw the fox tail he brought back. This twenty-year-old Zanpu has been fighting all over the world for many years, and he is very tough. Unavoidable pride, conceited martial arts.

   "Who is the general of Lei Gate?"

   "I don't know, I guess it's just an unknown person. The guards of the pass in the Tang Dynasty are generally at the level of the garrison master, and most of them are only eight or nine ranks."

   "A little general who is as big as a sesame seed and mung bean, dare to insult me?"

   Grand Minister Shang Nang also immediately clamored to conquer Leiguan.

  Songtsan Gampo suppressed his anger and calmed down a bit.

   "Dongzan, you came back from Leiguan, how do you think the guards of Leiguan can attack?"

"Thunder Pass is indeed majestic, and its defenses are also fortified. If there are less than 10,000 people, it is easy to attack by force, but Zanpu has 200,000 troops, and it is not difficult to break through the Thunder Pass." Galdong praised, "Your servant There is a plan to break the Thunder Pass, just let Yong hold the shield to carry the earth to the pass, and pile up the earth to form a mountain. Although the Lei Pass is tall, strong and dangerous, it can directly pave an earth mountain passage, go straight up the pass, and then send Gui Yi It can be attacked."

  Songtsan Gampo thought about it carefully, slapped his legs and praised, "It's really a clever plan."

   Garmang Prime Minister Song Nang also nodded his brother's approval for his strategy, "Leiguan guards the Qi Narrow Valley, which is in the middle of the valley. Unlike the mountain fortresses we encountered before, it is really simple and easy to carry the mountain."

Songtsan Gampo laughed loudly, "Actually, it's not impossible to fight those mountain cities before, it's just that I didn't have the time to spend with them. A small Thunder Pass dared to be so arrogant. Dongzan, since they insulted you so much, then I I will send you to lead the army, and you will take this pass, and after you pass the pass, you will capture that arrogant young general for me."

   "How many troops do you need?"

  Gal Dongzan patted his chest and said, "Give me five thousand Yong, and another three thousand Gui will do."

Yonggui is the division of military households and civilian households in Tubo. Guihu is military households, and Yonghu is also civilian households. In the political reforms implemented by Songtsan Gampo, there are actually many places that imitated the Central Plains. For example, the division of Guiyong , In fact, Gui is similar to the Fubing system in the Central Plains.

Gui households enjoy higher treatment and privileges, while Yong’s status is inferior. When there are wars, Gui households send troops, and Yong households also send troops, responsible for supporting servants, etc., and even captured slaves, etc., are generally assigned to Yongli. .

  The soldiers of Guihu are similar to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. They enjoy preferential treatment in terms of taxes and taxes, but at the same time they have to provide their own weapons and so on.

   "I'll give you five thousand laurel and ten thousand yongs, and I'll give you three more days to win Leiguan."

  Songtsan Gampo used Gal Dongzan very much, and took the initiative to give more soldiers.

  Although he was very annoyed and was blown away by the fox's tail, he didn't lose his mind. After careful consideration, he asked Gal Dongzan to lead some soldiers and horses first.

  With the terrain of Leiguan, even if 200,000 are transferred together, it will not be spread out at all, so it is useless to have many soldiers.

  Gal Dongzan received the order and immediately dispatched soldiers and horses from his brothers.

   Garmang patted his brother on the shoulder, "Are you sure?"

   "I think that although the Thunder Pass is dangerous, there are not many soldiers and horses, and there will not be more than a thousand people. There is no problem with a few thousand people in three days."

"Be careful, the people of Tang Dynasty are very powerful. Qin Qiong has guarded Songzhou for several years, and the patrol cavalry of the Ningyuan Army has been stationed by the Yak River. In the middle of the night, Geng Youyi went to the hinterland of Subi. Our troops fought against them several times. But I never got any bargains."

"Brother doesn't need to be too ambitious. The Tang people are only better equipped than us. In terms of bravery, our Tubo warriors are never inferior to them. Now we have a large number of troops, but the Tang army in Songzhou has a new head. It's morale-destroyed, so is it our opponent?"

   "You just need to be more careful, it's okay if you die more, especially those slaves, but Gui has to take care of it, and don't send it out until the time is right, you know?"

   "Shang Nang is already old, Thonmi Neutron Gyazannu, Khunpo, and Bangse Suzi are all coveting the position of Prime Minister, you know?"

  Gal Dongzan nodded, "Those two people only occupy high positions by virtue of their clan status, so they are not half as good as elder brothers in terms of ability?"

"The family status of the clan is still very important. Otherwise, why do we in Tubo have no nobles? Why are there four major clans? This Eastern Expedition is a good opportunity. Now that you have the opportunity, you must Grasp it well, you are still young, if I can take the position of Prime Minister in the future, after a hundred years, I will have the opportunity to pass the position of Prime Minister to you again, and my Gar family can also become a famous clan in Tubo. "

  Mang Xiang pine pouch finally pulled out another Dongdai for his brother, all of them were Guihu elites from the Gar family territory, "Take it with you, just in case."

  On the same day, the Tubo army set up camp fifty miles away from Leiguan. Gal Dongzan led 5,000 soldiers, 10,000 civilian husbands, and another 1,000 Gar family elites as forwards to take Leiguan.

  Everyone believes that this is a matter of instant success.

  Though Lei Pass is dangerous, but with only a few hundred people guarding it, no matter how dangerous it is, it is still a pass.

  Gar Dongzan led the army for a day and arrived at Leiguan.

  He was not in a hurry to attack the city, so he rested overnight.

  That night, he intentionally disorganized the army and the camp was not strict, just waiting for the Guannei Tang army to attack. He had quietly ambushed one thousand elites of the Gar family and three thousand GUI soldiers, trying to set up a net to catch fish.

Who knew that there would be a lot of movement during the closing of the night, switching on and off for a while, horns for a while, gongs and drums for a while, which made Gal Dongzan so excited that he didn't sleep all night, but the noise returned in the dark Noisy, the Tubo camp never waited for Tang Jun.

  It was just a few small groups of Tang people Ye Bushou touched the side, threw some torches into the camp, fired some back arrows, and killed some of their camp guards by the way.

  The loss is not big, but it is extremely insulting.

  My own little scheme was completely seen through by the Tang people, and turned him into an army.

  Fishing failed, but was molested all night.

  Early the next morning, Gal Dongzan listened to the report with two dark circles and red eyes, and had to grit his teeth and admit that this little general of Leiguan was actually quite powerful.

   But it doesn't matter if one plan fails.

Gal Dongzan ordered to cut down trees on the spot to make large wooden shields and make many carts. These carts can not only hold soil, but also have a top covered with rawhide, so that Yongding's bulldozing can also prevent Closed arrows, rolling stones, etc., can be used to push carts to fill up mounds of soil.

  Although the method is quite stupid, as long as it is in the right direction, it will do.

   Isn’t your pass built very high, six feet high?

  Aren’t your pass with cliffs on both sides, and the high canyon is difficult to attack? Then I’ll pile up a road. When the time comes, the soldiers will charge up the pass wall with their shields, or even charge up on horseback. What defense do you have?

  Although it is six feet high, it is not a big project to pile up a slope. He has 10,000 men who are responsible for digging, pushing carts, and piling up soil, and there are thousands of soldiers behind him who can take turns to cover.

  Three days?

   More than enough.

  Thunder closed.

  Qin Lang's commander-in-chief flag was still not erected, not even Han Wei's military envoy flag.

   Watching the Tubo people start to get busy, after a while, Qin Lang and others could see what the Tubo people were planning.

   "Don't say it, although this is a stupid way, it is indeed quite right. It seems that Tubo are not all stupid."

Han Wei looked left and right, "Xuan Xiang, I figured it out a long time ago. The Tubo army is tens of miles away. There are only more than 10,000 people here, and most of them are civilian slaves. If you want me to say that we will directly open Guancheng, a rush will be enough." can wipe them all out."

   "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. The show has just begun. What are you in a hurry for?"

  Qin Lang is not in a hurry, he is defending Tubo or attacking, he is the master, Tubo is a guest, he is waiting for work, what is he in a hurry.

   "Look at Dongzan's cleverness, you have to let others show off?"

The generals are there, look at me and look at you, "Xuanxiang, in fact, last night we had a chance to wipe out these little people in one fell swoop. The five or six thousand people they ambushed behind are not worth mentioning. We are here now. There are tens of thousands of elites, is it more than enough to destroy them?"

"I've said it all, you have to be patient when fishing. This Galdongzan is only a small fish at best, and the Qizongnong behind is the real big fish. If you come up and chop with a knife and axe, won't you scare the big fish?" Running? It took a lot of money and manpower to build our Leiguan. Now that we finally have the opportunity to play, how can we waste this opportunity? Have you ever caught a big fish? First, you must be patient, and second, you must be able to walk the fish. You can’t pull it forcefully, otherwise it’s easy to get off the hook, you have to walk it slowly, and when it has no energy, it’s time to lift the pole.”

   "Let's watch, there's no rush."

After finishing speaking, Qin Lang went down to the Guanlou. Gar's method of attacking the city was correct, but there were not really only 1,800 people in the city. Qin Lang brought tens of thousands of elite Tang troops, as well as recruited soldiers from the Songzhou regiment. , and more than 30,000 followers of the Tibetan Ministry, plus 50,000 horses, tens of miles of Yangdong River Valley, stationed everywhere, what are you afraid of?
