Chapter 5 Give a big gift

Shang Zanpo, who was summoned by Simolang, had a small resistance in his heart.

It is true that Ximolang is a Tubo general, but because of his stubborn character, he was highly valued but was not promoted. He is still a leader of ten thousand military achievements and his status is comparable to Shang Zanpo.

It was to deal with Pei Min of the Tang Dynasty that Simolang was promoted to marshal and suddenly climbed to his Shangzanpo, becoming the supreme military commander of the Jiuqu area of ​​Hexi.

Shang Zanpo did not respect Simalang, a long-time general who had not had much contact with him, but instead felt a little disdainful.

This is a gap in temperament. Shang Zanpo is good at rushing and dares to fight with his troops. However, Xifu Lang is good at defending, dull and steady, like a knife and shield, difficult to blend together.

In Shang Zanpo's eyes, offense is the best tactic, and defense is just a self-drawn and dead end.

But when Simolang took office for the first time and held his first military meeting, Shang Zanpo didn't want to have a quarrel with his new boss, and replied: "Go back and tell the marshal that I will arrange the protection of Iron Blade City and come immediately."

When Shangzanpo arrived in Guinan County, most of the generals and schoolmen with over 100,000 commanders and above were present.

Simaruran also showed his capable style as a veteran and held a military meeting without any delay.

The military meeting of Simolang this time was very simple. The main purpose was not to discuss how to oppose the Tang army, but to get to know the generals so that no one could know when the war came.

After all, they are the defensive side and have strategic advantages and tactical passiveness.

The Tang army did not make any moves, and they were not willing to act rashly.

More than 20 Tubo generals and schools said nothing about the current situation.

The morale of the generals was not very high. After these setbacks, it was an indisputable fact that Tubo's dominance over the Xihe Jiuqu was greatly reduced.

Simolang also noticed this and encouraged it skillfully, saying, "The Han people are not as powerful as you think. Pei Min's hairy boy is not that magical. The eagle has damaged its wings, so it is not as good as the hyenas underground, let alone our Tubo warriors? Have you noticed that Pei Min occupied the defensive position in the three decisive battles. He had the Jincheng dangerous war, and the battle of Taozhou, in their territory, we were passive. The same is true for the battle of Guangen Town. In the case of advantage, victory is not considered much. Now we are the masters, and they are the guests. Don't be too relaxed."

As soon as Simolang finished speaking, his confidant immediately agreed, "I have been fighting with the Tang Dynasty for a hundred years, but have I lost an inch of land?"

When the generals thought about it, the atmosphere immediately rose.

This is not a bragging. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo's achievements were generally dominated by the Tang Dynasty, but the plateau reaction has not been effectively overcome. The Tang Dynasty has not yet truly attacked the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The only most promising time was that Xue Rengui sent troops to Qinghai in the first year of Xianheng. Xue Rengui continued to fight to Hekou, but was dragged down by the jealousy of his teammates, which led to the Tubo army gods seizing the flaws and cutting off the way out, which means that Dafeichuan was defeated in a disastrous manner.

In addition, the Tang Dynasty had many intentions to take advantage of the victory and destroyed Tubo, but all of them failed due to the plateau climate.

"The Marshal said it right. We Tubo warriors are not as despicable as the cunning Tang people. They are afraid of death, so there are towering city walls. Without the city walls, our warriors have already gone to Chang'an."

"Now the position has changed, we are defending. We are still good at field combat. With the mule and horse cavalry of the Tang people, how can we be compared with our thrust cavalry?"

"A little brat can defeat the nation that grew up on our horses on the grassland? It's a fool!" The person who said this was obviously the general of Tuyuhun.

All the generals said one by one, I said one by one.

This is true for humans. As long as there are excuses and excuses, no one needs to teach them.

This situation also made the Tubo soldiers and generals regain their confidence, and they were all arrogant and no longer dull as before.

Shang Zanpo did not participate in it, but just glanced at Sima Long, and praised him for his cleverness in his heart. He stabilized his morale in a short period of time, and unknowingly made the generals recognize him and feel good about him.

Ximolang also made a final summary and said, "According to my estimates, the Tang army will not send out large troops to fight, nor will it fight a protracted war with us. The soldiers they can mobilize are mainly Shen Ce Army, Longyou Army, and Liangzhou Army as their auxiliary. The number should be between 50,000 and 60,000, and we are about the same number. I need the support of all of you to let the Tang children know whether the Jiuqu area in Hexi is surnamed Tubo or Tang."

"I wish to listen to the order of the marshal!" The generals shouted in unison with high fighting spirit.

Simolang looked at the generals who were injected with chicken blood and nodded with satisfaction. The effect of today's meeting was much better than what he thought.

Just when Simaru Lang was satisfied, he was less than a hundred miles away from their meeting place.

A Tang army has already rushed to a Tubo herd!

Pei Min learned from Murong Ying that Simolang had a meeting today and decided to give the new Tubo Marshal Simolang a gift.

He quietly left Guangen Town, circled around and stared at a herd closest to them.

"kill!!!"

Pei Min and Li Yide each led 1,500 people, and rushed from left and right to Tubo herds.

This is a medium-sized herd, guarded by three thousand soldiers, and the Tubo people are brave and good at fighting. Even if the people are riding horses and carrying swords, they are still an excellent soldier and are not weak in strength.

However, Pei Min and the others were surprised, and because they left the generals and above who were commanding, Tubo lacked effective command and responded half a beat slower.

In particular, Li Yide was very brave. He killed the only general who could conquer the situation in the first meeting. He got a good start and led his subordinates to enter the Tubo camp in one breath.

Pei Min was far superior to Li Yide's martial arts, but he was far inferior to Li Yide's bravery. However, he was because his eyes were sharp and his overall view was very strong. Xue Ne taught him the skills of commanding in front of the battlefield in his early years, specializing in picking weak places in Tubo and killing places with signs of resistance, killing the chaotic Tubo army even more chaotic, and rebellion was contained in the cradle.

Qin Emperor's sword was slimly wiped from the neck of a Tubo cavalry. The troops were intertwined, and the entire camp was trapped in the sea of ​​fire. Tubo men, women, young and old had lost their desire to resist and fled in scattered all over and gave Li Yide a flag to let him come and meet him.

"Ship Pei!" Li Yide's body was full of blood and seemed to be a little unsatisfied with killing, and said, "That's it?"

"It's over today!" Pei Min carefully corrected Li Yide's words and said, "This is the key to fighting guerrilla warfare. If you are too greedy, you will suffer a loss. Guo Wenbin..." He called out, "Go and gather all the herds slaves, give them the horses, and let them retreat with us!"
