Chapter 357: Want to pick the bow (I)

Standing on Chengfeng Ridge, looking at the east, there are still continuous mountains and Chongling in the east, but the road is divided into two not far away, one side turns to the northeast and the other side turns to the southeast. Because of the developed water system, the vegetation is very lush, and the cool autumn wind blows, with layers of yellow, and then the yellow stacks up waves, rising and falling one after another, very spectacular.

Lunzan Po pointed to the distance and said, "The Tang Dynasty set up two military camps here, one next to Cuishan leading to Heyuan Military Road, and the other on the iron bar leading to Guzhou Road."

Lun Qinling pondered for a while, then stared at the avenue. The Tang Dynasty was openly not allowed to stop the business road, and Lunzanpo did not stop before his brother arrived. Tuyuhun and Tubo needed these several business roads, and if they were the attacking side, they would be a sign of weakness. Therefore, there were many merchants on this avenue who dared not lead horses, cattle and sheep to trade with the people of the Tang Dynasty, but the fur and jade were still the favorites of the people of the Tang Dynasty. Then they exchanged silk, tea, and even luck, they could get away with it and exchange for a large number of iron tools. But the scale was much smaller than before.

Lun Qinling asked: "Third brother, have you seen what weaknesses the 180,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty have?"

Did the Tang Dynasty have weaknesses? Lun Zanpo was confused. He didn't even see the weaknesses of the Tang Dynasty. Instead, he saw that one of his side would face a lot of problems. After thinking for a while, he shook his head.

"Why should I look up to the enemy with a high regard. The Tang Dynasty had equally many weaknesses, at least eight."

"Eight Points?" Lun Zanpo asked in surprise, don't talk about eight Points. If one or two or three Points are caught by the second brother, it will be enough to defeat the Tang Dynasty army. So he thought again, but he was confused and asked, "Second brother, do you have those eight weaknesses?"

"Stern brother, look, the business roads continue to open, are people in the Tang Dynasty so greedy for money?"

Lunzan Po shook his head. It turned out that those who believed that Prince Tang was greedy for money would not think so now. If you want to get cattle, horses and sheep, you can't get it now. The Tang Dynasty really lacks fur so much that it ignores the life and death of more than 100,000 troops? But he can understand this one. If the business road continues to open, he can send a large number of scouts to Qinghai to use the mixed personnel to spy on the news. But this one is also beneficial to the Tang army. If you arrive, I will shrink into the castle like a turtle. If you have a genital, you will come and attack. Anyway, I won't come out to fight with you. The Tubo people have little meaning to get intelligence, but as an attacking side, the intelligence of the Tubo people is very useful to the Tang Dynasty.

"I know what you are thinking, but I'm wrong. The business road is open. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty can get some information from us, we can also get some information from them. There is another important one. We can get some useful people. It is unlikely that we can capture cities and plunder, but is it really that important to capture cities and plunder? Wrong, two armies fight and plunder cities and plunder are the ultimate strategy. Can we do a lot of things? It's not just intelligence! This one is the most fatal weakness of the Tang Dynasty."

"Second brother, what are the arrangements?"

"I have arranged it a long time ago, maybe you can see some of it today. Let me talk about the second weakness of the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Tang Dynasty defended the city and built many cities, outposts, checkpoints, and garrisons. There are a lot of weapons and materials in the city that can be held for a long time." Speaking of this, he was a little unnatural, especially the lethality of the large catapult and the perverted gunpowder. It will become more and more difficult to attack the Tang Dynasty's city in the future. He also said: "But if there are advantages to stick to it, there will be shortcomings. All defenses are rigid tactics and rigid army, and we arrange them calmly and flexibly. This is also the fatal weakness of the Tang Dynasty people."

"Second brother, although they were not planning to attack. When our army arrived, they held the city and fought for consumption with us. When our army left, they captured the people of Tuyuhun under the name of Nuohun. Some Tuyuhun even took the initiative to join." Zan Po had seen this tactical theory for a long time, and thought for a long time, but it was impossible to crack it. Qinghai is full of mountains and there are not many roads. Each one of them had to rush to these castles as soon as they came out. In addition, the Tang Dynasty transported a large number of weapons and supplies, and there were still ten more weapons and materials.

Tens of thousands of troops were held up, and this plan became perfect. Either people were used to pile up, they could always break several cities, but at least they could make three or four times the sacrifice. Xiangshicheng Mountain might have to make more than ten times the sacrifice to capture. Can you do this? There are also trails, who got off the horse and climbed from the mountains and ridges, and it would be good to climb thousands of people overnight. There may also be many soldiers who fell off the cliff. What can these thousands of people do in the inner belly of the enemy? They just went to give the people of the Tang Dynasty a snack.

"If you just cut the city, you naturally think that they have no shortcomings, but you are wrong. Third brother, where is the sun in three hours?"

"The sun is setting."

"Yes, the sun comes out, the people begin to work, the sun sets, and the people begin to rest. This is the way of heaven. But how can all things in the world have eternal balance? At this time, the sun is in the middle, and after a moment, the sun sets. The situation changes again. Water has no shape, military strategy has no common sense. Once it is dull, it has fallen into the inferior. Just like spring plowing, summer, autumn harvest, winter storage, and follow the weather, farmers can have a good harvest, and the same is true for march. The army must keep flowing to seize the opportunity of war. Since ancient times, how many people can win the battle by relying solely on defense?"

Lun Zanpo was thinking hard again, but still couldn't figure it out.

Lun Qinling ignored him and continued, "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was worried that his son had over 100,000 troops, so today the Tang Dynasty army was equivalent to having the second commander, which is another disadvantage."

"That's right, but the second brother, Li Jingxuan, is from the *** division and is very close to the prince. After the prince came to Qinghai, he focused on the logistics and never competed for merit with the prince. This is difficult to use."

"Then let me ask you, does Li Jingxuan have the right to mobilize the army?"

"have."

"Since there is, this is a disadvantage. And Li Jingxuan doesn't know about the war, and Prince Tang also knows it, and he has never let him really command the army to fight. This disadvantage has become a big disadvantage."

"Yes," Lun Zan Po responded, but his mind was still confused, just like the second brother said that killing Prince Tang was like taking objects. Li Jingxuan had power, but he had a self-knowledge. How could he let him command the army? Unless Li Jingxuan fell and just broke his head, he would compete for military power with Prince Tang.

"Then look, the Tang Dynasty occupied Daba Dou Valley, not only guarded the security of the Hehuang area, guarded the Second Road of Shancheng in the north, but also guarded Liang and Ganzhou and other prefectures. In the critical situation, it could even send troops to support from Liangzhou and Ganzhou. It guarded the main road of Chiling and directly threatened Yuchichuan. Although Chengfengling made a mistake, it could immediately set up a second battalion in the rear to make up for this mistake and ensure the safety of Guzhou. It went south to conquer Hongji Bridge and Wansu City. It could attack Dafeichuan, Chihai, Shudun City, and Mantou City. There were countless castles to defend, and the Yellow River was a natural danger. But is the front line too long?"

"Yes," but I still don't understand in my heart that this is not a battle of 10,000 people and 20,000 people. The Tang Dynasty dispatched nearly 200,000 troops, and Tubo itself had an army of 160,000 to 170,000 troops. It can also convene nearly 200,000 troops from Tuyuhun and Dangxiang again. Together, it will be a battle of more than 500,000 people. How can the front line not be long?

"The front line will be long, and the message will be slow, and the response from the north and south will be very slow."

"Yes," Lun Zanpo said with a bitter face. He lost half of Jiuqu and the three cities of Hongjiqiao, which suffered this loss.

"This is the fighter opportunity," said now, and left half of the Lu Qinling, which was to let the third brother think about it and train his wisdom to grow. Tubo was unstable, and many people opposed the autocracy of the Gar family, and some tribes were ready to move. As the new Tubo theories, he could not stay in Qinghai for a long time, and after this battle, he would have to return to Luoshecheng. Qinghai would have to hand over the control of the third brother in the future. Therefore, after he came to Qinghai, he did not say a word of reprimand, but only guided him to restore his confidence.

In fact, sometimes I was very annoyed. Before leaving, I was afraid of accidents, so I told him not to move. But not only did he move, but he also moved three times. The first time he mobilized the troops and returned in vain. The second time he lost 15,000 people, the third time he lost the ground, and nearly 30,000 soldiers were also lost.

However, he was even more determined to kill Li Wei. At least the third brother was completely at a disadvantage when he was facing the enemy of Prince Tang. He could only follow the steps of Prince Tang in the future. He failed to dispatch a large army for the third time, and he would fail to dispatch a large army in the future.

But there was no criticism.

He also said: "Although it is not that Sichuan is defeated by our army, Nanzhao wins one victory, Shancheng wins two victory, and Jiuqu three victory. Although it has increased the morale of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, it will have a role as a arrogant soldier. Not only are the arrogant soldiers, but many generals have become arrogant generals. In addition to a few generals who are clear-headed, such as Li Jinxing, the prince of the Tang Dynasty, may be that black-toothed Changzhi and Qi Biming are also considered one. Most of the others have begun to underestimate us Tubo people again. Is this shortcoming still small?"

This is a fact. Lun Zanpo narrowed his eyes. When this shortcoming was proposed, it was associated with what was mentioned earlier, and he had some vague thoughts in his mind.

Lun Qinling was very satisfied. Among the Tubo people, it was difficult for a second person to be an enemy of the third brother except himself. After all, it was the first time that he returned without success in the army, which left some shadows in his heart. He wanted to make contributions and justify himself, and he would repeatedly fall into the trap of the Prince of the Tang Dynasty. If Li Jinxing had no empty city plan, there would be no shadow in his heart, the Prince of the Tang Dynasty might not have been able to get such a big advantage this time.

The weakness of the sixth Tang Dynasty army was also mentioned: "There were many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty this time, but no matter which general, they were either my enemy or the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. In my opinion, it was not dry before it was dry. If this was not a weakness, plus one, besides some generals, there were more fools. Moreover, these fools had many powers. Is this the weakness of the Tang Dynasty army?"

"Yes," Lun Zanpo's eyes became brighter, and he had seen some of his second brother's thoughts more and more clearly.

"The Tang Dynasty has so many weaknesses, can we easily defeat it?"

"Yes, but I haven't thought of the trigger yet."

"Yes, I just mentioned the six weaknesses of the Tang Dynasty army, and there are two behind it. These two can become the fuse on the Tang Dynasty's gunpowder."

"Those two?"

"Here you come," Lun Qinling pointed his hand at the East Avenue.

A camel team came up on the road, which was not large in size, loaded with some goods, and there were several horses, with four or five people sitting on it.

"Come on, third brother, see what good news my scout has brought us." As he said that, he took Lunzan Po down to Chengfeng Ridge and greeted him. The man led by the merchant knelt down and said, "I have seen Da Lu."

"Get up, get up."

"yes."

"Is this business going well?"

"I was lucky enough to be insulted," he said, taking out two pieces of paper from his arms and handed them over.

Lun Qinling took the paper, laughed and said, "It's true that it's not as expected, third brother, look."

After handing one of them, Lunzanpo took it and saw that the Lu brothers were all strangers in the world and were extremely wise. Therefore, they all knew Chinese characters and could even write them. This piece of paper was the reward of all the soldiers who received merits by the Tang Dynasty court this time. Lunzanpo did not immediately figure it out, and he had to reward him if he made merits. What's the point?
