Chapter 238
In fact, this point in Tubo still made Li Qing very envious. If the Tang Dynasty had been like this long ago, it would have been impossible for it to fall to this point.
Li Longji was fooled by a group of big fools led by Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong. Otherwise, even if he was really a little old, he would never have been so confused.
These two days have made Chisong Dezan quiet from his previous eagerness for quick success and quick gains and busyness. He suddenly realized that he might have missed the best opportunity to seize Jiannan Road.
If he knew that when the Nanzhao people joined forces with the Tang Dynasty, they would send heavy troops to destroy them directly, he was confident that he had this ability. They could completely regard Jiannandao as the battlefield for the decisive battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. However, if that was true, their advantage in military strength would be huge. No matter what tricks Li Yan wanted to play, it would be impossible. In the face of absolute strength, all the work was nonsense.
But such strength must be based on the fact that one has not lost the hundreds of thousands of people and a single person.
Chisong Dezan believed that it was because Li Neng had seen these strategies that he used these seemingly risky but huge benefits to eliminate his tens of thousands of troops. Of course, he succeeded.
The next day, the Tubo generals gathered in the royal city and stood neatly in front of Chisong Dezan. Each of them had a sense of fighting spirit. Obviously, they had heard that tens of thousands of people were eliminated outside Taihe City. The Tubo general Shang Xijie was killed in the city and cut off his head.
The Tubo people have not suffered such a great humiliation for many years. They should have been the overlords of this land, and now the Tang Dynasty is no longer able to do so. They feel that they should take over the position of the Tang Dynasty and become the new overlord. Now, there are twists and turns on this seemingly simple road, so they naturally cannot accept it.
"Before, my Tubo army was tens of thousands, and the general Shang Xijie met. In Taihe City, Nanzhao, he encountered the treacherous plan of Luo Feng, the king of Nanzhao and Li Neng, the king of Jianning, the Tang Dynasty, in the city of Taihe, Nanzhao, and the whole army was wiped out! I must not refuse to avenge such a great revenge!"
As soon as he came up, everyone's aura obviously made Chisong Dezan very satisfied, so he expressed his attitude at that time, that is, to fight to the end with the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao.
As soon as Chisong Dezan expressed his opinion, all the soldiers who were originally quiet below were excited, screaming one by one, shouting the unique slogans of the Tubo people, and they were about to destroy the Tang Dynasty.
"My Tubo scouts have already returned. Now the people from the Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao have arrived in Yaozhou. I think they want to stop our army's attack on Jiannandao. However, this time, I will not use any tricks. The people from the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo are only 200,000. Three days later, I will send 300,000 troops to take Yaozhou directly. After taking Yaozhou, I will go north and swallow half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty! Whether it is the Prince of Nanzhao, Luo Feng, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty and the King of Jianning, I will see their heads!"
"Okay! I will definitely not let Zanpu down. I will definitely cut off the heads of the King of Nanzhao and King Jianning of the Tang Dynasty and avenge Shang Xi!"
"Yes! The Tang Dynasty and Nanzhao are just clowns. If my Tubo army really attacks Yaozhou, they will definitely have no power to fight back!"
Obviously, the Tubo generals were full of confidence in this battle.
At this time, Chisong Dezan's words were obviously not finished. He paused for a moment, let the generals below accumulate a wave of emotions and continued to say: "This expedition is different from the past! I will personally be the head coach and lead the troops to set off!"
This obviously gave another shot of chicken blood to the generals below. Since Chisong Dezan took office, he cannot be said to have never had any blood, but the enemy he faced was almost intrigued.
This time, he was able to go to the Tang Dynasty with real swords and guns. It was obviously a signal that he could go to the battle himself, showing his determined aura of winning this battle.
After the people below were enthusiastic, Chisong Dezan reached out to signal them to stop for the moment, and then continued: "This battle is absolutely careless. This time we are fighting against the Tang Dynasty is an offensive and defensive battle. They will definitely build fortifications outside the city. Our army cannot be as generous as before attacking and taking down a small tribe. We must be good at using the Tang Dynasty's own siege equipment. The equipment we plundered from the Tang Dynasty over the years will be useful now! We use the things they made to attack their own city walls. I wonder what this arrogant King of Jianning Li will feel at that time!"
Chisong Dezan understood a truth early in the morning, that is, this war is not only the number and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, but also a psychological game at some point. If he could make Li Yan's mentality collapse at some point, he would be not far from the victory of this battle.
Of course he didn't know that Li Wen, who was a few years older than him, had been a human being for two lifetimes, and had forty or fifty years of life experience in his head, and his experience was rich.
After deciding on this matter, although most of the generals of Tubo were very excited, they were also very excited about this battle. After all, in their eyes, the Tang Dynasty occupied more and better land than them. Once they set foot on that territory, they would almost certainly be richer and stronger than this time.
But there were also several old ministers who showed their concerns about this battle after everyone dispersed.
Because after really sending 300,000 troops, the number of troops left in the entire territory of Tubo is less than 100,000. Once these 300,000 troops have something outside, the situation will be quite bad.
Not only was the Tubo's vitality severely damaged, but he lost the strength to continue to compete with the Tang Dynasty, even the Nanzhao people may not be much weaker than Tubo. In other words, Tubo will decline.
