Chapter 982 Strategist's Vision
The uncle spoke sarcastic words on the side, but for the purpose of hypocrisy, in order to occupy the Tubo Plateau for a long time and control this area, as the king of the Tang Empire, he must know how to use all unconventional means. "Your Majesty is kind, I think if the Tubo subjects hear Your Majesty's words, they will feel Your Majesty's love for the people." Uncle Li Jing smiled and flattered Uncle Li.
Seeing that no one wanted to continue speaking, I cleared my throat and continued to read the information summarized by the Jinzuan Academy: "Now, both sides have suffered heavy casualties, and the tragic level of this year's battle is even more intense than last year. Lu Dongzan has ordered that men from various tribes in Tubo, under fifty, over fifteen, and above horseback, all need to be recruited to join the army to fight against rebellion, and maintain the national destiny of Tubo."
"Hmm? Tubo has reached this point?" Uncle Li was a little surprised, or it should be said to be a surprise, which means that the situation in Tubo has reached a point of terrible deterioration.
I nodded: "It is precisely because the 50,000 troops provided by the Nepal king to Lu Dongzan were severely damaged by General Cheng, and the remaining soldiers fled back to Lushe City were less than 10,000. This made the Nepal king very angry. In the past, Tubo was strong and Nepal weak, so the Nepal people naturally did not dare to say anything. But now, Tubo is three points, civil strife is everywhere, and Nepal is already ready to move. At that time, Lu Dongzan approved countless benefits with Nepal, which was the exchange for Nepal to send troops to East Tubo. Unexpectedly, their enemy was not the Tubo people, but the Iron Cavalry of the Tang Dynasty. The 50,000 Nepal troops were destroyed. Lu Dongzan was worried that our Tang Dynasty would be angry because of this..."
Lu Dongzan and the high-ranking Tubo officials who were squatting in the city of Luoshe were no longer the same as before. At the beginning, Songtsen Gampo was killed and Mangsong Mangzan was the main force. Everyone hoped to become a hero and to increase their power. But who expected that now Tubo in the east has fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and Mangbu Songtsen in the north is a famous general of Tubo. He is also the younger brother of Songtsen Gampo. He also has huge energy. Tubo in the north has almost become his sphere of influence.
The two sides fought fiercely for nearly a year without a victory or defeat. In addition, Lu Dongzan wanted to attack Eastern Tubo, but he turned his head to make Uncle Cheng beat him up, which greatly reduced his prestige. None of the noble officials in Luoshe City had his own little plan. Coupled with ulterior motives and the efforts of the spies, the officials and noble groups in the mainland of Luoshe City had already appeared in rifts. Some ministers had left Luoshe City and returned to their tribes to wait for opportunities. If the momentum was wrong, they would turn to the strong side.
------------------------------------------------
Even Tubo nobles from Luoshecheng sent messengers to Tubo east to contact Uncle Cheng, claiming that they were just bewitched and fought against the Celestial Empire. As long as the Tang army's power arrived, they would turn against each other and drive them to the Tang Dynasty. These Tubo noble officials spoke very beautifully, and whether they could do it or not is another matter, but this also proves the instability inside Luoshecheng.
It was precisely because some Tubo nobles began to maintain their strength and prepared to serve their new masters. In addition, Nepal severed his 50,000 army because Lu Dongzan stolen his 50,000 army, which made him not take any benefits. Instead, he lost his troops and generals. How could he not be annoyed? Adding three points to Tubo, for them, it was equivalent to the original predators becoming delicious food. Can Nepal not be moved? Nepal clamored to ask Lu Dongzan to pay the price to compensate for his labor costs and losses, while quietly gathering the army and preparing to take a bite at the right time.
This made Lu Dongzan, who was originally planning a scheming, was attacked from both sides and even anxious, and would jump over the wall. What's more, a hero like Lu Dongzan, who was decisive and hard-hearted? This Tubo prime minister was simply a gambler. If he didn't succeed, he would become a gambler. He might be the world of his Xue family. If he didn't succeed, he would be the biggest scar. Anyway, his head would be the size of a bowl.
"Okay, haha, it's so messy!" Uncle Li Jing's eyes were full of splendor, and he smiled like an owl that had been a thousand years old. Uncle Li continued to shake the folding fan and asked at the Tang Dynasty military god, the current governor of the General Staff Academy, with a gentle inquiry: "Why did Old Li say that the city is so messy?"
Not to mention Uncle Li, I also find it strange. Nowadays, in addition to the name of the Tubo prince Babu Nongzan, Eastern Tubo, has actually fallen into the hands of the Tang Dynasty. If the remaining Mangbu Songzan and Lu Dongzan cannot be evenly matched, wouldn’t it be better for the other side?
In addition to me, several famous Tang generals also looked puzzled. However, everyone looked at Uncle Li Jing with great expectations. After all, they all knew that Uncle Li Jing's title of the Tang Dynasty military god was not his own, but was recognized by important officials of the Tang army and the Tang soldiers. No one had any complaints about this, because Uncle Li Jing's life was on the battlefield for decades and never suffered a defeat.
It’s luck, it depends on a calm mind, keen thinking ability, and judgment.
"Losse City is the capital of Tubo. No matter what, Mangsong is supported by the vast majority of Tubo officials and subjects. When he is there, Lu Dongzan has the title of righteousness, so..." Uncle Li Jing took a sip of tea calmly and said slowly.
Gradually, I heard the taste. Uncle Li Jing was not ordinary vicious, or it should be said that the temple was unparalleled. Uncle Li Jing's meaning was actually very simple. It would be best if the Luoshecheng faction led by Lu Dongzan was defeated by Nepal and Mumbu Songzan. Even if Mumbu Songzan defeated Lu Dongzan, he was also charged with treason for gathering foreign enemies. This crime would not be small. At least the Tang Dynasty could stand on the moral side to severely punish, and even send troops to interfere, because we have a prince in our hands. This prince asked us to send troops to the Tang Dynasty. As the sect leader, the Tang Dynasty would naturally not be verbal.
I was so intoxicated that I finally knew the difference between myself and a real famous general. People were planning not only Tubo, but even Nepal, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, fell into Uncle Li Jing's plan, just as Uncle Li Jing arranged Lu Dongzan to marry Nepal and then made a series of things happen. No wonder grandson once said: "There are many people who have won the battle before the temple can win." Uncle Li Jing is worthy of being the top military strategist and strategist of this era. Famous generals like Uncle Cheng are at most called military strategists, and they may not even have any trouble with strategists.
With a general strategy, everyone's emotions were mobilized. Everyone offered suggestions, hoping to further improve Uncle Li Jing's strategy. In the end, everyone agreed that it was necessary and necessary to provoke a war between Nepal and Tubo Lu Dongzan's group. In addition, Mumbu Songzan must be weakened to the greatest extent. It is best to hope that Mumbu Songzan can destroy Lu Dongzan, otherwise it would be possible to become disabled. At that time
When Lu Dongzan was anxious, he had two choices. First, sacrifice his life with heroic spirit, but this result was too difficult. First, Lu Dongzan was willing to die? Second, Lu Dongzan asked for help from the Tang Dynasty to save his family and life. This road is the result we would rather see. Moreover, the feasibility of this road is quite high. First, Princess Wencheng is my princess of the Tang Dynasty, and at least she is the nominal grandmother of the Tubo illusion master Mangsong Mangzan, the queen mother of Tubo.
------------------------------------------------
Lu Dongzan had the intention of using the Tang Dynasty to help him resist foreign enemies. Will our Tang Dynasty give up such a good opportunity? The meat delivered to his mouth is not eaten at a single bite. This is not the style of the Tang Dynasty. As long as Lu Dongzan asked for help from our Tang Dynasty in the name of the young Tubo ruler, then it would be legitimate to send troops to northern Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, and Uncle Cheng could also justify the attack on Nepal's name of the Tianwei of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the young Tubo master could control it, and I am afraid that only people would be able to control the city. If the young Tubo master had something unexpected, then... well, we just made a reasonable guess and did not want to do this. At that time, we would not need to take action from the Tang Empire. As long as someone could leak information, the nobles in Tubo would be the first to rush up and chop off the young master.
"Tubo was originally a confidant of my Tang Dynasty, but who would have thought that by using meticulous work and using intelligence and other means, a powerful Tubo would be destroyed in just a few years. Songtsen Gampo is also a powerful leader. When he was young, he could unify the entire Tubo from a tribe leader. But who would have thought that he would end up with only three generations of his country. What should he do?..." The old man picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from the hot spring on his face. He was very touched.
