Chapter 166: Greater Happy News

Speaking of this, everyone was very happy and praised Liu Fuqing for being able and careful, and he didn't even let go of the grass.

Chen Wanrong explained: "It's not that Liu Fuqing is particularly careful. Looking for clues and then catching prey is a skill he has learned since childhood. Although Liu Fuqing is not a hunter, he is not good at home and lacks food and drink, so he develops a habit of always paying attention to changes around him to see if he can catch some hares, pheasants, etc. Over time, his eyes are particularly powerful. Whenever there is a strange phenomenon in the grass, he knows there is something wrong there."

Liu Fuqing was born in a poor family and had no food at home, so he had to find a way to get some rabbits, pheasants, snakes, etc. If he could eat, he had to find a way to catch it. He had learned his skills since childhood and his eyes were not ordinary. Ji De Zuzan originally wanted to hide in the grass and wait for Chen Wanrong and the others to leave before coming out. Unexpectedly, he caught Liu Fuqing.

Zhang Shu laughed: "This Liu Fuqing learned to hunt prey when he was a child. When he was old, he won Zanpu. It was amazing!"

Guo Qianguan said, "I just don't know if Jide Zuzan is a hare or a pheasant?"

A joke made everyone laugh.

Later, the matter became simple. He tied Jide Zuzan on his horse and carried him back. Princess Jincheng stayed on the side of the road as he said, without any abnormal movement. Chen Wanrong and the others came back and invited him with courtesy. Princess Jincheng followed him. Of course, Princess Jincheng did not hate Jide Zuzan who was captured by the Tang army. On the contrary, she took good care of him.

The heroic and powerful Jide Zuzan was also moved and couldn't help but whisper to "Princess, Princess".

This is a marriage of power and tricks, and it is difficult to make a choice between the husband and the court. Princess Jincheng did this, and Zhang said that they were sighing.

By the time Chen Wanrong finished speaking, it was almost dusk. Everyone was happy and joking. At this moment, the soldiers came in and reported to Guo Qianguan: "Report to the Grand Commander, General Fei sent the military newspaper!"

"Call in quickly." Guo Qianguan's eyes suddenly opened, and he was very anxious.

The soldier responded and went out. He took a breath and brought a soldier with a tired face. The soldier was about to salute, and Guo Qianguan waved to stop him: "No need! You are tired too. Report the military to me, and you go and rest!"

The soldier handed the military report to Guo Qianguan and retreated.

Guo Qianguan quickly opened the military newspaper, browsed it, and said to Zhang with his military newspaper: "Master Zhang is very talented, why not guess what Fei Junxing said?"

"Master, please tell me quickly, don't keep it in hiding!" The generals urged.

Guo Qianguan opened his mouth and laughed: "No! Lord Zhang must guess this matter!"

Zhang joked, "It's not difficult to guess this matter. I think the military supervisor has guessed it too?" Looking at Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "It's not difficult to guess. It should be General Fei that took down Luosie City!"

Guo Qianguan nodded happily: "That's right! The city has been removed!"

The hundreds of thousands of Tubo army no longer existed, and the whole country was afraid. Fei Junxing's army needed to arrive and would definitely defeat him without fighting. There was nothing hard to guess. The battlefield was not far from Lushe City, and the cavalry could arrive soon. As soon as Fei Junxing entered Lushe City, he immediately sent someone to report the victory.

"Luozhecheng is taken down for us! Long live! Long live the Tang Dynasty!" The generals were excited again and cheered in unison.

There are so many good things today, one after another, first, they won a great victory and annihilated the Tubo army, and then captured Jide Zuzan alive. Now the capital of Tubo is taken down. Every thing is an exciting event, and although the generals were excited for a long time, they were still very excited.

Has there ever been an incident in Chinese history that the leader of the alien race was captured alive and the capital of the enemy country?

No! The Tang army created a new history, which is a miracle!

Emperor Wu of Han fought against the Huns, which made the Huns unable to recover and eventually split, pushing the Huns, the nomadic people, into the abyss of destruction. The Han army once created a miracle, which was to take the Huns' holy land Longcheng and Langjuxu Mountain, and also destroy the Huns' royal court, but did not capture the Huns' Shanyu.

When Wei Qing and the Xiongnu Khan's army decided the victory or defeat, the Xiongnu Khan took hundreds of people to escape. Wei Qing personally led the army to chase him, but he did not catch up. This is the magnificent scene of the famous "Shanyu Escape at Night" in history.

Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night, and the one who lost Jie Li Khan's camp, not the royal court of the Eastern Turks. Jie Li Khan was captured alive, but did not take down the royal court.

Emperor Wu of Han defeated the Huns and Li Jing destroyed the Eastern Turks were all miracles in Chinese history and praised by future generations. The Tang army not only captured Jide Zuzan alive, but also captured Lusie City, the capital of Tubo. This is unique in Chinese history, and it is a feat of having no ancient people and no future generations!

Not to mention the excitement of the generals, who can not be excited? Chen Wanrong only felt his eyes wet, and could no longer hold back, and could not help but wipe his tears. Zhang said, who had always been calm, was like a child at this moment, covering his face with his hands, and actually cried.

A man doesn’t cry easily, but he is not excited!

The news of capturing Luoshe City spread like wildfire and soon spread throughout the camp. The Tang army started to revel in a carnival again, singing and dancing, and cheers rang through the sky. When everything calmed down, it was dark.

With a brief regaining excitement, Chen Wanrong suggested: "We have to report the victory to the emperor!"

The capture of Shibao City and Doma have won two great victories for Ruizong, but compared with the current victory, those two victories are just a prelude. Ruizong is looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to good news on the front line, so Ruizong should know it as soon as possible.

Guo Qianguan nodded and said, "The military supervisor is right! Lord Zhang, I have to trouble you with this matter!"

Zhang Shuo was famous and well-written, and many special edicts that were difficult to draft were completed by him. Such good news was the only one who was very good news. Zhang Shuo nodded happily: "It's so good! Zhang Shuo can draft such good news, how lucky is it!"

Without giving instructions, the soldier put on the pen and ink. Zhang Shuo grabbed the pen, pondered it slightly, and then waved it. After writing, he put down his pen and asked, "What do you think?"

When Chen Wanrong saw that the number of words in this good news was not large, only more than 200 words, but it clearly explained the contributions of the Tang army, the difficulties of the march, and the significance of this battle.

Geshuhan exclaimed: "Mr. Zhang's memorial is not inferior to Ban Gu's "Le Yan Ran Ming", and it must be passed down through the ages!"

The author of "Han Shu", Ban Gu, followed Dou Xian to expedition to the Huns, and wrote the article "The Ming of Le Yan Ran" in Yanran Mountain, which had a profound influence on later generations, which became a model for later writers.

Geshuhan only knew the influence of "Le Yan Ranming", but he did not know that Dou Xian's serious consequences of this northern expedition directly led to the demise of the Western Roman Empire and the decline of Western civilization.

Dou Xian's northern expedition was just to atone for his sins and to increase his prestige and capital for his power in the court. However, he did not expect that his northern expedition would have had a great impact on European history. The impact of this expedition far exceeded the scope of this northern expedition.

European history has changed as a result.

After the attack of Emperor Wu of Han, the Huns split into two parts, the Southern Xiongnu surrendered to the Han Dynasty. The Northern Xiongnu were controlled by those stubborn elements who were unwilling to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and they always harassed the Chinese border. Dou Xian's expedition caused great damage to the Northern Xiongnu. In the face of the powerful military pressure of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Northern Xiongnu had to move westward for 4,000 miles to live in the Volga River Basin.

The arrival of the Huns forced the Visionothian tribes, who had originally lived here, to invade the upper reaches of the Danube; the Visionothian tribes forced the Vandal tribes, who originally lived in the upper reaches of the Danube, to invade the Roman Empire westward. The border troubles of the Roman Empire suddenly worsened and began to go downhill. Four centuries later, under the leadership of Attila, the Northern Huns advanced westward and finally attacked the city of Rome, destroyed the Western Roman Empire, and turned the civilization of the Roman Empire into ruins.

Of course, Ge Shuhan and the others didn't know about these things. The powerful Han Dynasty forced the Huns to fight the west and finally destroyed the cradle of Western civilization. It was not until modern times that the exchange between the East and West was revealed to the world: It turned out that the driving force behind the decline of Western civilization was China, the powerful Han Dynasty!

"Okay! Lord Zhang is worthy of being a talented person. Although this is a good news, it is actually a great article!" Guo Qianguan praised and ordered: "Come on! Send it to Chang'an immediately!"

Chen Wanrong raised his eyebrows and said, "Master, these good news are extraordinary. Not only should we report to Chang'an as quickly as possible, but we should also let the people know!"

Ruizong is now extremely cheered up and is determined to be a promising king. Such a great victory will inevitably greatly increase his prestige. Chen Wanrong understands his thoughts and decides to fuel the fire.

"This is another grand event after Emperor Gaozong's destruction of the Western Turks. It should make the people happy!" Zhang Shuo also agreed.

Guo Qianguan immediately asked a captain to take a team of soldiers to Chang'an, and Chen Wanrong gave them a face-to-face opportunity: "You go all the way and shout: Tubo is a great victory! Capture Zanpu alive! Capture Luoshecheng!"

Capturing Jide Zuzan alive and capturing Luoshecheng are two major events. How can the people not be so excited when they hear this? Zhang Shuo and Guo Qianguan happily agreed with Chen Wanrong's statement.

The captain took the order and set off overnight with a team of soldiers. Wherever they passed, there would inevitably be a roar of "Tubo victory! Capture Zanpu alive! Capture Luoshecheng!"

After the arrangement was made, Zhang Shuo analyzed it: "Up to now, Tubo has no power to resist. Because of the many corruptions in the Tang Dynasty, it cannot destroy Tubo for the time being. However, the Tubo army is gone, Zanpu captured us alive, and the capital was captured by us, which is tantamount to the name of death! As for the final destruction of Tubo, it only takes one opportunity. I think, at that time, we may not have to dispatch a large army!"

There are many options for destroying a country, and it is not necessary to dispatch large troops to engage in wars. Without the army and the leader, the Tang Dynasty would have more choices to destroy Tubo.

Zhang Shuo glanced at everyone and then said, "Now, there are several things we need to do: First, we should divide our troops and accept as much land as possible in Tubo, especially in the dangerous and critical barriers. Second, we must send people to promote the new policy of the Tang Dynasty. The abolition of slaves should be vigorously promoted, so that all slaves know that they are no longer slaves. They are equal like everyone else. The Tang Dynasty also has to distribute cattle and sheep to them in the grassland and pastures."

Guo Qianguan interrupted Zhang and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry about this. Fei Junxing made it very clear in the military newspaper. His army arrived at the city of Luoshe, and the slaves came to greet him in groups, treating them as relatives. Some of the slaves even knelt on the ground and kowtowed, shouting loudly, "The Tang Dynasty is here, we are saved."

Zhang Shuo nodded and said, "This is the best news for our war! It is certainly gratifying to wipe out the Tubo army, capture Jide Zuzan alive, and capture Luosie City. However, if the Tang Dynasty cannot own this land, then all this will be futile, and the blood of the soldiers will be in vain! If you want to own this land, you must win the hearts of the people! To win the hearts of the people, slaves must be abolished, and the army must not violate the people."

"It's right!" Chen Wanrong and Zhang said very much in agreement. For a country, capturing the enemy's leader alive and capturing its capital is indeed important, but it is dwarfed by the land that the enemy once owned.

Capturing the enemy's leader alive and capturing his capital is a temporary benefit, and owning his land is a great achievement for all generations!

This is the significance of the Tang army's conquest this time! This is the greatest good news!

Guo Qianguan nodded and praised: "Guo is not good at governing the country. However, Guo Qianguan still understands one truth: It is better to own fish than to want fish. Getting land is the most important thing. Please rest assured, Lord Zhang, I have already issued strict orders and are not allowed to harass the people!"

The Tang army's military discipline was very strict, and whenever there were strict orders, they would be perfect. Since Emperor Taizong of Tang implemented the strategy of treating all ethnic groups equally, the Tang people had a very broad mind and would not discriminate against the Tubo people, but would treat them as brothers and sisters and relatives.

Zhang Shuo would not have any doubts about this and said, "The Grand Marshal has such kindness and great merits! The Grand Marshal still has one more thing, and he has to do it! It is to enter the city of Logis, so he has to do it quickly!"

Luoshecheng is the capital of Tubo. Entering Luoshecheng means that the war has ended and has very important symbolic significance. The Tang army's entry ceremony should be grand and solemn. At the same time, it must also show its dignified formation to shock those unwilling stubborn forces and ask them to know the military power of the Tang army.

Guo Qianguan understood what Zhang said and said excitedly: "Come on, let's all come to summarize and send the troops to some cities."

Ten thousand Tang troops left Shibao City and advanced into the hinterland of Tubo. Up to now, they have killed nearly 300,000 enemies. As long as the Tang troops who have been on the battlefield, they have been killed. The only one who has never killed the enemy is probably Wang Zhongsi. There is no way. He is too young and no one dares to send him to the battlefield to fight. Therefore, Wang Zhongsi can only watch it honestly whenever there is a battle.

The 100,000 Tang troops have made contributions, and they cannot be sent all of them. First, this approach is impossible, and second, there are more things waiting for them to do, so they can only select troops with great contributions to go to the city.

"Master, tell me!" The generals looked at Guo Qianguan.

Guo Qianguan pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, if we make a lot of military achievements in this battle, two armies have made the greatest contribution. One is that Cheng Xiaotian led a vanguard force to sweep the land of Dafei River thousands of miles, as if he was entering a land of no one, creating conditions for the arrival of subsequent troops. They fought at the city of Doma and used 5,000 light cavalry to deal with tens of thousands of Tubo people. Excessive killings made the Tubo imperial guards lose their combat power. Everyone saw this contribution, and it was real."

"The generals are wise!" The generals were very clear about Cheng Xiaotian's troops' record and had no objection.

Guo Qianguan nodded slightly and continued, "The second thing is the artillery! Whether it is infantry or cavalry, there are horses, so it is much easier to advance. Only artillery, even if there is a horse, can't be used. They forcefully lift the artillery to the city of Doma. Their shoulders and their feet are covered in blood, no one complains, no one retreats, this courage alone is enough to be proud! Guo has fought a war for his whole life and has never seen such a tough army!"

Thinking of the scene when he saw the artillery in Doma that day, the generals' eyes couldn't help but feel wet.

"In the battle of Sunset City, the artillery crushed the attempt of Tubo to block the mountains and made great contributions to the army's advance! In the battle under the city of Doma, the artillery showed its power and took down the northern gate of Luoshe City without a single soldier! From Doma here, there were still many dangerous passes, which were razed the artillery to the ground. It can be said that if there were no artillery, we would not have been able to get here!" Guo Qianguan said excitedly: "In the battle yesterday, the artillery took down the golden helmet of Jide Zuzan and took the opportunity to use a trick to dismantle the fighting spirit of the Tubo army, which led to the great victory later! Last night, the artillery bombed the Tubo camp again, and the entire Tubo army was wiped out! Capturing Jide Zuzan alive, capturing Da Lun alive, and taking back the princess, let alone this contribution."

This is all the real contribution of the artillery, and the generals have nothing to say, all agree with it.

Guo Qianguan finally said: "Maybe the number of artillery beheadings is not as large as you, but what they do is a major event that concerns the overall situation. Without artillery, we cannot knock out the dangerous passes of Tubo, and we cannot reach here; without artillery, we cannot blast the Tubo camps, and we cannot have such a great victory! In my opinion, artillery is the greatest contributor to this battle, and it is precisely because we have artillery that can fight well that we have achieved great success!"

In terms of the number of killings, the first choice is Cheng Xiaotian and Fei Junxing's cavalry and heavy infantry. Especially the heavy infantry, it is simply a terrible meat grinder. Wherever they are there, there are countless minced meats.

When it comes to importance to the overall situation and helping the entire army, artillery is the artillery! Artillery is irreplaceable!

Guo Qianguan was right. Without artillery, the Tang army would not have won such a great victory! All of this was because of artillery and Chen Wanrong, which changed the situation where the ancestors could not help the dangerous terrain of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The artillery not only fulfilled its mission to conquer the strong city of Tubo, but also achieved great contributions to the battle of Sunset City and Doma, and to destroy the morale of Tubo and capture Zanpu alive, but also formed a slave army and advocated the abolition of slaves, winning the sincere support of slaves, which gave great help to the Tang army.

"The general is wise, we are convinced! The first achievement is the artillery!" The generals knew the importance of artillery to them.
Chapter completed!
