The disastrous defeat of the Tang army in the Southern Expedition caused it, and it blew into all directions of the Tang Dynasty like the wind.

The defeat on the front line can be concealed. Nanzhao and Tubo took the opportunity to attack Yunnan and plunder the wealth of the people, but could not be concealed at all.

Whether it is the people or officials, the first reaction when they hear this news is fake news and just jokes.

After confirming the truth, I couldn't help but get in a state of unrest.

The Tang Dynasty won too long, and suddenly suffered such a crushing defeat, and I didn't know what to do for a moment.

Pei was the border commander of the Northwest. He could not interfere in the war situation in the south, but was concerned about the situation in the south. Zhang Qiu Jianqiong's defeat was immediately passed to Guzang.

Pei was gathering his shogunate members together at that time: Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu, Yuan Luqian, Wang Changling, Wang Zhihuan, Niu Xianke and others, and even Pei Chenlin, whom Pei brought out of the Pei family, was there.

This is also the rule set by Pei, which is a work summary every six months.

Such a summary will help increase the enthusiasm of his staff and cooperate with each other.

Having a harmonious and upward working environment is beneficial to Hexi and the Longyou Shogunate.

At this important meeting, Pei Shaoshao lost his composure.

How can you lose!

How could this be defeated?

Before the war, Pei estimated the situation. Nanzhao had just unified Liuzhao, but the people were dissatisfied and were able to raise 10,000 troops, but it was already at the top. And Tubo could not support the army.

With the successive defeats, the morale of the Tubo army was under the influence of Wang Zhongsi in Moliyi, so it would be great to support 20,000 yuan.

What's more, Nanzhao does not have so many economic supplies to supply 30,000 troops for a long time, and the 20,000 reinforcements from Tubo need to bring their own food.

It is not easy to bring food and grass from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau across the Jinsha River to Nanzhao.

Tubo’s own economy is not very good, and it is impossible for him to fully support Nanzhao.

Ten thousand, ten thousand reinforcements are the most suitable numbers in Pei's heart.

The Tang Dynasty's 60,000 well-equipped elite troops of the Celestial Empire dealt with Nanzhao and 20,000 Tubo's coalition forces, which was a blow no matter how you look at it.

How could it fail?

And it was a crushing defeat, almost annihilated.

Zhang Jiuling, Li Linfu, Yuan Luqian, and Wang Changling were also stunned and looked at Pei with some anxiety.

Pei looked at the battle report in his hand, but he couldn't understand his military strategy, and he was confused.

"What's the thing that's hit?"

What does Xianyu Zhongtong drive straight into Cangshan and Erhai Lake?

What does it mean to be on standby at Taihe City?

What does Zhang Qiu Jianqiong mean to be attacked inexplicably?

A mess?

Pei felt that his brain was not enough, and his IQ seemed to have lowered.

Pass the battle report to everyone.

Pei said furiously: "The stupid pig fights like a fool, and the stupid pig commands like a fool. Isn't it that he has warned Zhang Qiu Jianqiong to be careful of Tubo, why did he give Tubo a chance?"

Sun Zhou said: "It was completely blinded. When the Tang army first entered Nanzhao, the King of Nanzhao asked Duke Zhangchou Jiedu in a pleading tone, saying that if the Tang army did not retreat, he could only ask for help from Tubo. Duke Zhangchou Jiedu also kept asking the detective to stare at Tubo. There was no news of Tubo sending troops. The border between Nanzhao and Tubo was quiet. Therefore, Duke Zhangchou Jiedu believed that Tubo did not dare to send troops and was unwilling to launch troops for Nanzhao. In fact, Tubo had already sent troops. When our order to go to the south was issued, Nanzhao and Tubo had reached a secret alliance."

"The Tubo army was broken into pieces and entered Nanzhao in batches. Nanzhao was full of mountains, and more than 10,000 Tubo army hid in the mountains, waiting for the Tang army. Three months before the Zhangchou Jiedu sent the horse to explore, Tubo was already in Nanzhao."

"The so-called peace letter is to make the governor Zhang Qiu Jie think that Nanzhao has not yet asked for help from Tubo. Perhaps it was because of Xianyu Zhongtong's victory that Zhang Qiu Jie was careless. After all, the former army achieved such brilliant achievements, and he was named the head coach, but he did not even see the shadow of the enemy."

Pei was speechless and felt powerless in his heart.

At this moment, Pei suddenly felt Zhu Yun's feelings.

Zhu Yun's literary and military strategy naturally cannot be compared with Zhu Di, but what Zhu Yuanzhang left Zhu Yun with a world.

As a rebel, Zhu Di was able to beat Zhu Yun, and the first hero was not Yao Guangxiao, nor was he the general Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, but Li Jinglong.

Even pigs can win battles, but people lose.

Pei really couldn't find any extra words to describe it. Expressing his mood was like a Japanese dog.

Seeing that Pei did not respond for a moment, Zhang Jiuling, as the most important official under Pei's command, said with a solemn expression: "Ship Pei, we must respond to all the defeat of the Southern Expedition Army this time and minimize the loss."

Pei shook his head and said, "It's useless. No matter how you deal with it, what should come will come. The defeat of the Southern Army is definitely not as simple as an ordinary failure. If I was not wrong, now Chang'an and Luoyang are in chaos. All kinds of rumors and rumors are everywhere, and our prestige will be hit harder than ever before. This is an unchangeable fact and cannot be avoided. Our second set of plans has completely failed, and even the third set of emergency plans cannot be used anymore. The overall layout is completely messed up."

The defeat of the Tang army in the southern expedition was far from being a defeat.

Failure is not terrible!

With the foundation of the Tang Dynasty, it can withstand failure.

However, public opinion after failure cannot be ignored.

No matter how righteous the Tang Dynasty boasted, this battle was an unjust war from the beginning.

The cause of the war was that the Tang general raped and killed the Princess of Nanzhao.

If Tang Jun wins, nothing will be a problem.

Whatever the reason, victory is right.

But the Tang army was defeated and was fucked if they couldn't show off.

Tubo and Nanzhao will not miss this opportunity. They will declare the real situation to the world, let the entire Tang Dynasty, all the vassal states of the Tang Dynasty, and let the world know the reasons for the war this time.

The prestige and credibility of the Li Tang royal family will be severely affected, which will involve Pei's strategy.

Pei's second strategy was to use the Frankish Kingdom, and the Persians suppressed Arabia.

But in the Frank Kingdom, the Persians were not fools. Only when the interests were there would they be willing to use them.

Pei's bargaining chips are the prestige and credibility of the Tang Dynasty. Now that the prestige and credibility of the Tang Dynasty are being hit, will they still believe the promise Pei gave them?

Even if you act reluctantly because of interests, you will have different thoughts and will not be enough to achieve your goal.

A silence and silence.

Suddenly Pei Yi slapped the table and stood up and said, "Give up all the original plans, and now we will adopt the fifth set of response plans!"

“The fifth set?”

The civil officials looked at each other, and they only knew four sets.

Li Linfu couldn't help asking: "When did Pei Shuai formulate the fifth plan?"
Chapter completed!
