Of course Songtsan Gampo's real idea was not to form an alliance with other tribes. The Tang Dynasty's 50,000 troops aimed directly at Tubo. No matter how confident they are, when they really face the Tang Dynasty, Tubo will inevitably be under a lot of pressure. The purpose of finding an alliance with these tribes is of course to share the pressure and fight against Datang together. At best, this can be regarded as the back end of Songtsan Gampo's preparation. Once he wins the Tang army, he will swallow up the troops of these tribes as soon as he turns his face, What is it like to imitate the old things of the Turks? This is just to give those short-sighted tribes blood. Songtsan Gampo knew better than anyone else. Although Datang is rich, it is impossible to go straight to Chang'an in the past. It is the best situation to be able to plunder several cities and one state. It's better to take advantage of the situation to invade directly after the victory, and then go to the Tang Dynasty for peace.
In this way, it not only plundered the city of Datang to show its force, but also weakened the surrounding forces, and one family dominated. Throughout history, how can a single generation of monarchs achieve the prosperity of a country? Although Songtsen Gampo is very young, he also has such preparations. If I devote my whole life to laying a good foundation for Tubo, then my life will not be in vain. Everything is ready, it depends on how the battle is fought. Thinking of this, Songtsan Gampo couldn't help but look in the direction of Songzhou. When he left the city of Songzhou, the Yintang army had already begun to march in a hurry. Thinking about it, he should have arrived in Songzhou by now. If that son-in-law is really the coach, perhaps the fight has already begun. As for Yilu Dongzan's talent, if it was faster, the overall situation should have been decided by this time. Songtsan Gampo showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. Outside Songzhou City, Lu Dongzan, whom Songtsan Gampo placed high hopes on, was very upset at this time. After receiving the news that the Tang army was speeding up its march, Lu Dongzan immediately dispatched troops. The 150,000 Tubo army set up camp less than five miles west of Songzhou City. Lu Dongzan thought that he knew Datang very well. So, these days, he calmed down and gradually figured it out. In the Tang army that was dispatched, Su Li was definitely not the coach, at best he was a gilded man. The real coach is definitely Li Daozong. What is the rapid march, maybe it is the smoke bomb released by Li Daozong.
Let Tubo underestimate the enemy and rush forward, so that they will have the opportunity to take advantage of it. The art of war in the land of Zhuxia just likes these twists and turns, but it really works. Lu Dongzan thought he had seen through everything and decided not to be fooled by Li Daozong. Therefore, he did not wait for work with ease, and sent troops to intercept the Tang army. "Prince...Yesterday, a large number of light cavalry appeared in the north of Songzhou City. The number is about 50,000, and they have all entered the city."" Suddenly, a scout hurried in and said to Lu Dongzan. Lu Dongzan was stunned suddenly. The 50,000 soldiers and horses really rushed to Songzhou in a hurry? This time, why is Li Daozong so anxious? In Songzhou City, after five days of rapid march, Su Li's army has all entered the city. At this time, Zhizhou Mansion. Su Li turned this place into a temporary headquarters for the army. Military orders were issued one after another. Beside him, Songzhou Zhizhou Zhang Jiuhe was lying on a stretcher, moaning and whining. Zhang Jiuhe had never seen such an unreasonable general. When the army entered the city, they immediately demanded to take over Songzhou City. Including his Zhizhou, he must also be dispatched by coach Su Li. Of course Zhang Jiuhe didn't want to. Of course, he also knows that there are often sudden wars in the northwest frontier state. After the army arrives, they will demand to take over the local governance. But Zhang Jiuhe felt that the situation in Songzhou was far from that dangerous situation. As the magistrate of Songzhou, he had dealt with the Tubo people too much, and the relationship was pretty good. Even if the Tubo soldiers surrounded Songzhou before, Zhang Jiuhe didn't panic. The urgent report to Li Er was actually urged by Lu Dongzan, the great Tubo minister who visited his residence, to write it. In the words of Lu Dongzan, Tubo only wanted to marry the noble daughter of the Tang Dynasty, so it was so mobilizing and mobilizing people to perform a play. Seriously speaking, how did Tubo fight Datang? Before that, Zhang Jiuhe believed in this. Therefore, when Su Li asked to take over Songzhou, Zhang Jiuhe was the first to refuse.
Then, he was punished by the direct order of Su Li. Ten sticks down, but he still refuses to accept. But Su Li has an imperial decree in his hand, no matter how unwilling the people under him are, they can only follow Su Li's request. According to Su Li's request, Songzhou City will enter a state of combat readiness immediately. Officials at all levels mobilized young and strong labor force, as well as all available animal power, to prepare. Mainly, these two orders. Zhang Jiuhe watched from the side, and the more he watched, the more he felt that this son-in-law who was leading the army for the first time was messing around. The state of combat readiness is beyond reproach, after all, the Tubo army is approaching the city, and the Tang army has also arrived. In this state, the two sides will fight a war no matter what. But what is the use of young and able-bodied labor and transportable livestock? Zhang Jiuhe thought that his art of war was so-so, so he could see that this kind of military order was meaningless. However, what makes him strange is. From the deputy commander Li Daozong to the officers at all levels below, after listening to Su Li's order, they all obeyed the order and carried it out without the slightest hesitation. This at least shows that Su Li's control over this army is absolutely terrifying. Li Daozong and others can't see what they can see? Zhang Jiuhe also saw a trace of doubt in their eyes, but these people would not ask. This alone made Zhang Jiuhe feel that he could not see through this young son-in-law. Soon, the crowd in the Yin hall gradually dispersed. Su Li turned her head and looked at Zhang Jiuhe lying on the stretcher. He had no intention of talking to the magistrate. As a herdsman official in a border town, he often deals with foreign races, so each must have his own means. Tubo (Dede) people are cunning, and officials like Zhang Jiuhe who work hard will most likely be deceived by him. However, this is all his own business, Su Li has no reason to teach him to be so good. `~Dare to ask the commander-in-chief, what is the purpose of your military orders?" Su Li didn't want to talk to Zhang Jiuhe, but Zhang Jiuhe rushed to ask questions. Seeing that the other party is still covering his butt, but his face is sincere. Su Li felt a little funny in his heart, and said lightly: "All the manpower and animal power of Songzhou City will go out with the army, and follow us to clean up the battlefield." Zhang Jiuhe nodded and said, "So that's how it is..."
After a pause, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Su Li dumbfounded. "Go out, clean up the battlefield?" Zhang Jiuhe looked confused. He could understand every word of Su Li's words. But when combined and related to the current situation, he found that he didn't understand again. Where to go, what battlefield?
