Chapter 749 Resentful Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others
"Why are the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty so fast?"
Songtsen Gampo's face was filled with shock.
You know, the distance between Nongtang and Lalarigang is more than 400 miles in Fuqi City in Tuyuhun, and it's all mountainous.
Moreover, when people from the Tang Dynasty came to Tubo, they were bound to suffer from qi diseases. Even in this cold winter, the qi diseases they suffered were more serious than in summer.
Being able to walk twenty miles in one day is already considered a feat.
In addition, these are all mountains, valleys and rivers.
In the middle, there are cities and checkpoints blocking the way.
And how many days had it been since they retreated to Powo?
"Reporting to Zanpu, most of the grain, grass, baggage, and weapons carried by the Tang army were handed over to the Tuyuhun thieves. Moreover, along the way, we, the best of the Tibetan city tribes, suffered heavy losses in the battle of Tuyuhun, and faced the killings of the Tang army.
, there is no resistance at all.
The people of many tribes and cities were requisitioned by these Tang armies. Even the tribe's cattle, horses and miscellaneous animals were used by these Tang armies to carry various grain, grass and baggage!
Those Tang people also invented a carriage that could walk on the snow. It happened to snow heavily a few days ago, and these Tang people marched very fast..."
The Tubo general replied quickly.
"snort!"
After listening to this, Songtsan Ganbu’s face was livid and he was gritting his teeth.
"These Tang people are going too far!"
The Tibetan generals on the side also had angry expressions on their faces and agreed very much with Songtsen Gampo's words.
However, thinking of the Tang army that was approaching them menacingly, these Tibetan generals still conscientiously warned Songtsen Gampo again.
"Zanpu, this time the Tang army is coming with a fierce force. With the strength in our hands, we can't resist at all. Please Zanpu quickly withdraw to the capital and recruit our Tibetan warriors again to kill these daring Tang troops and those Tuyuhun thieves.
They all stay in my Tubo territory!"
"You will go quickly to deliver the order for the army to evacuate!"
Songtsen Gampo nodded.
Then, he remembered something and looked at his subordinates with red eyes.
"Can you find out where King Jin of the Tang Dynasty is?"
"Back to Zanpu, among the Tang troops this time, there is no banner of the Tang Dynasty King Jin!"
The Tubo general replied quickly.
"There is no Jinwang of the Tang Dynasty?"
Songtsen Gampo looked startled, and then his face turned full of hatred.
"Li Xuanba, this shameless thief, dared to deceive me like Tubo and wanted to eat its flesh. I didn't expect that this thief was so timid and did not dare to come to my territory of Tubo?"
"Don't worry, Zanpu. Tubo has a vast territory and a large population. These Tang people must have exhausted all their strength to come from Tuyuhun to Larigan.
At most, they have to walk a few mountains and cross a few rivers before they lose their strength.
And this is where our Tibetan population is densely populated. As long as Zanpu regains its strength, these Tang people will definitely not be the enemies of Zanpu!"
"What you said is absolutely true!"
Thinking of their Tubo terrain, Songtsen Gampo was shocked and his confidence returned.
Their Tubo not only makes it easier for outsiders to get gas diseases, but it is also rich in mountains, rivers and canyons.
These Tang people could conquer Tuyuhun without any trouble, but trying to conquer Tubo was simply wishful thinking!
In response, Li Chengqian, Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others were sitting in a large tent to rest out of breath.
"call……"
"What the hell is this Tubo place?"
"So many rivers and so many steep canyons!"
"call……"
"I finally figured out why Master doesn't want to come to Tibet!"
"..."
Following the sound of something rough, the entire tent fell into silence.
In fact, not only Cheng Chusi and Li Chengqian, but even Li Jing, Li Xiaogong and others on the side had some regrets at this moment.
Tubo is indeed a barren and barren land. Even if it is attacked, no one wants to control it.
However, if the army's massive conquest does not wipe out the entire Tibet, wouldn't it be a bluff and end in the end?
Not to mention embarrassing!
When they go back to the Tang Dynasty, they will definitely be tortured by those officials and they will never have peace!
"Why do these damn Tubo hozens want to provoke Master!"
"Exactly, why don't you just stay here with them? You must seek death!"
Everyone was filled with hatred in their hearts.
"Report!"
At this time, a scout came in from outside.
"What's the matter?"
"Prince, generals, the Jishi Dao army led by the British Duke and the Shanshan Dao army led by King Rencheng are less than twenty miles away from our Chinese army's tent!"
"Um?"
"What, why are the British Duke and King Rencheng here too?"
"You must have been deceived by Master?"
Cheng Chusi curled his lips and spoke the truth again!
"Bah, you are the only one with a tongue like this, a bastard?"
On the side, Cheng Zhijie slapped him hard.
However, Li Chengqian, Li Jing and others on the side were overjoyed.
Then, he asked again: "How many people are there in the army of the British Duke and the King of Rencheng?"
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, according to the investigation of the brothers, there are more than 20,000 Tang troops in total, and the Tuyuhun Hozens should be 40,000!"
The scout quickly replied.
"In this way, we can have an army of two hundred thousand!"
Li Chengqian said with a happy face.
"Your Highness, that's exactly what it is!"
Li Jing's face also showed a hint of joy.
"Hmph, Songtsen Gampo and the Hozen came down the mountain with an army of 200,000 to cause chaos. Unexpectedly, not only were they almost wiped out, but they were beaten back by us with an army of 200,000!"
Cheng Zhijie grinned, his eyes angry.
"In order to never suffer this kind of crime again in the future, these Tubo hozens must be beaten this time, just like those of Tuyuhun."
"That's the way it is!"
Li Xiaogong nodded slowly.
"Furthermore, although Tubo is barbaric and barren, it is suitable for raising yaks and there are many hozens in Tubo. Those aristocratic families might also like it very much!"
"Those aristocratic families only fight for power and don't know the true situation in Tubo. They may fight for Tubo's cities even more fiercely than Goguryeo!"
"Then the sin we have suffered this time will not be in vain..."
In the afternoon.
Li Ji and Li Daozong, with 20,000 Tang troops and 40,000 Tuyuhun captive troops, arrived at the main tent of Li Chengqian's army.
As soon as they saw Li Xiaogong, Cheng Zhijie, Li Ji and Li Daozong, their faces were full of complaints.
Then, out of curiosity, Cheng Zhijie asked about life in Tyuhun.
Hearing this, Li Ji and Li Daozong immediately salivated.
"Compared with Tuyuhun, Tubo is really a barbaric land. His Royal Highness, the King of Jin, is in Tuyuhun. There are four stoves nearby to keep warm every day. There are also hot tea and food in front of him. The food makes people drool..."
"The lamb roasted by Brother Jin Wang is really the best in the world, especially the dipping sauce. I won't let you finish the lamb at once..."
Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others listened with envy and resentment on their faces!
"Sure enough, Master just wants to stay in Tuyuhun alone so that he can enjoy life!" This chapter has been completed!
