Chapter 1062: Little Injury and Strong Insult
"Xuan Xuan, his subordinates have driven Lu Dongzan away as Xuan Xiang ordered, and threw two fox tails to him, saying that one would be given to him and the other would be given to Qi Zongnong."
Lei Guan, the governor of the governor of Song, and Ningyuan's army envoy Han Wei came over to report to Qin Lang.
"Yeah, I got it."
Han Wei hesitated, "Why does Xuan Xiang value this Tubo people so much? But since he values it, why don't you let him go back? Why don't you just let him in and then slash him with a knife?"
"Correction: the man's name is Gar Dongzan's Domain Song, or Lu Dongzan, not Lu Dongzan. This man's father was the former prime minister of Tubo, Gar Chizazi, also known as Dalun Chizazi. After his death, although his eldest son Gar Mang Xiangsong was not qualified enough to be a prime minister, he had many great achievements in quelling the rebellion. Now he is Zanpu's most confidant general in command, and he takes charge of the military power of Tubo on behalf of Zanpu. Therefore, Gar Dongzan has an extraordinary life experience, and this person has many military achievements, resourcefulness, and is deeply trusted by the abandoned clan and rural areas."
Qin Lang stood on the pass building, looking at Dongzan and his party who were returning angry.
"How did Xiang Xuan know this and why did he let him go?" Han Wei was a powerful general, brave and lacking in strategy. He was a good player in charge in war, but it would make things difficult for him to think about it.
In his opinion, since the other party is a big fish, no matter whether he is using the envoy or not, he will arrest him first, and at least he must first interrogate the Tubo military situation.
"No hurry, I want him to bring the fox tail to Qi Zongnong for me."
The Tubo people were brave and aggressive, and they usually rewarded tiger and leopard skins to show their courage, while those who were cowards would hold fox tails on them to show their mockery. Everyone in Tubo hates foxes, and Qin Lang's gifts can definitely anger the Tubo people.
Especially now, the Tubo people do not know the changes in Songzhou. They do not know that although Qin Qiong died of illness, Qin Lang has already arrived and took over the battle situation in Songzhou.
Although Lei Pass is dangerous, it is small after all. For the Tubo army with a population of 200,000, this is not really impossible to conquer.
On the other side.
Dongzan returned without success and returned halfway.
Songtsen Gampo was reunited by Dongzan's return, especially when he saw the fox tail he brought back. This twenty-year-old Zampo has been very fierce in the past few years of fighting and fighting, so he can't help but be proud and conceited his martial arts.
"Who is the Lei Pass Guard?"
"I don't know, I'm probably an unknown person. The guards of such passes as Tang State are generally at the level of the garrison and garrison lords, and are mostly the best."
"A little general who is the size of sesame and mung beans dares to insult me?"
The Great Xiang Shangnang immediately shouted to level the Lei Pass.
Songtsen Gampo suppressed his anger and calmed down a little.
"Dongzan, you are back at Leiguan. Do you think the guards of Leiguan can attack?"
"Lei Pass is indeed majestic and has strict defenses. If there are less than 10,000 people, it is very possible to attack and take the lead. However, Zanpu has sent 200,000 troops to break the Lei Pass," Gardong said, "I have a plan to break the Lei Pass. Just ask Yong to hold his shield and carry the earth to the front of the pass, and pile up the soil to form a mountain. Although Lei Pass is tall, strong and dangerous, it can directly lay out a dirt mountain passage and go straight to the pass. Then, Gui can attack you and then go down."
Songtsen Ganbu thought carefully, slapped his legs and exclaimed, "It's indeed a clever plan."
Garmangxiang Songzan also nodded and praised his brother's plan, "Leiguan guards Qisan Valley, which is in the valley. Unlike the mountain fortresses we encountered before, the mountain mounds are indeed simple and easy to use."
Songtsen Gampo laughed, "Actually, those mountain cities were not impossible to fight before, but they didn't have the time to waste time with them. A small thunder gate dared to be so arrogant. Dongzan, since they insulted you so much, I will send you to command the troops and you will take this gate. After breaking the gate, you will capture that arrogant young general for me."
"How many men do you need?"
Gardongzan patted his chest and said, "Give me five thousand memorials, and then three thousand guinea pigs."
Yonggui is the division of Tubo military households. Guihu is a military household, and Yonggui is also a civilian household. In the political reform implemented by Songtsen Gampo, there are actually many places that have been imitated by Zhongyuan. For example, Gui Yong's division is actually similar to the military system of the Central Plains.
The Gui household enjoys higher treatment and privileges, and the status of Yong is lower. When the Gui household sends troops, the Imperial household also needs to be appointed as the head of the army, and even the slaves captured are generally assigned to the Imperial household.
The military officers of the Guihu were similar to those of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and enjoyed preferential treatment in terms of taxes, but at the same time they also had their own weapons.
"I will give you five thousand Guis and ten thousand Yongs. I will give you another three days, and you will get the Lei Pass for me."
Songtsen Gampo was very particular about Gardongzan and took the initiative to give more soldiers.
Although he was very angry and was furious by the fox tail, he did not lose his mind. After careful consideration, he still asked Gar Dongzan to bring some troops to the front.
With the terrain of Leiguan, even if 200,000 are adjusted together, it will not be able to spread out at all, so it is useless to have too many soldiers.
Gardongzan received the order and immediately retrieved troops from his brothers.
Garmangxiang Song Basin patted his brother's shoulders, "Are you sure?"
"I think that although the Lei Pass is dangerous, there are not many soldiers and horses, and there will be no more than a thousand people. There will be no problem with a few thousand people in three days."
"Be careful, the Tang people are very strong. In the past few years, Qin Qiong guarded Songzhou, Ningyuan's patrols have been stationed on the yak river. At night, You Yi has arrived at Supi's hinterland. Our troops fought with them several times, but they have never gotten any cheaper."
"Brother, don't have to be too ambitious. The Tang people are just more well-equipped than us. In terms of courage, our Tubo warriors are never worse than them. Now we have many soldiers and many powers, but the commander of the Songzhou Tang army has passed away. At this time, they must have lost all morale. How can they be our opponent?"
"Just be careful. It's okay to die more, especially those slaves, but Gui has to take care of it. Don't send it out easily if the time is not right, do you know?"
"Shangnang is old, Tunmi neutron Jiazannu, Qiongbo, and Bangse Suzi are coveting the position of the great prime minister, do you know?"
Gar Dongzan nodded, "These two people are just occupies a high position based on their clan power. How can they be as good as their brothers in terms of ability?"
"The clan and family status are still very important. Otherwise, why are we nobles from Tubo? Why are there four major clans? This Eastern Expedition is a good opportunity. Now that you have the opportunity, you must seize it. You are still young. If I can take the position of the Grand Prime Minister in the future, I will have the opportunity to pass the position of Grand Prime to you a hundred years later. My Gar family can also become a famous Tubo clan."
Mangxiang Songzan finally pulled out another Dongdai for his brother, all of whom were Guihu elites from the Gar family territory. "Take it with you, just in case."
On that day, the Tubo army set up camp at a distance of fifty miles from Leiguan. Gar Dongzan led 5,000 war soldiers, 10,000 civilians, and brought another thousand elite Gar family members as vanguards to get Leiguan.
Everyone thinks that this is a success.
Although Lei Pass is dangerous, only a few hundred people guard it. No matter how dangerous it is, it is a pass.
Gar Dongzan led his troops to a day and arrived at Lei Pass.
He didn't rush to attack the city, he rested for a night.
That night, he deliberately did not have the army and the camp was not strict, so he was waiting for the Tang army to attack in the pass. He had already quietly ambushed the Gar family's elite and three thousand Gui soldiers behind, wanting to set up a net to catch fish.
Who knew that there was a lot of movement when the shutdown was closed that night. It was sometimes turned on and off, sometimes there were trumpets and sometimes gongs and drums. It made Gar Dongzan extremely excited, but he didn't sleep all night. However, noisy in the dark, the Tubo camp never waited for the Tang army.
But a few small groups of Tang people were touched by Ye Bubu, and threw ignition into the camp, put some hidden arrows, and then killed some of their guards.
The loss is not big, but it is extremely insulting.
His little plot was completely discovered by the Tang people and he turned his army on his back.
If you fail to fish, you will be teased overnight.
The next morning, Gardongzan held two dark circles and red eyes and listened to the report, and had to grit his teeth and admit that this little Leiguan Guard was actually quite powerful.
But it doesn't matter if a plan fails.
Gardongzan ordered that trees be cut down on the spot, made into large wooden shields, and many carts were made. These carts could be loaded with soil, and a roof was installed with raw cowhide, so that the bulldozing soil could also prevent closed arrows and rolling stones, and could safely push the cart to fill the mountain with soil.
Although the method is quite stupid, it is enough to be right.
Aren’t your pass built very high? Is it six feet high?
Aren’t your passes steeply cliffs on both sides and it’s hard to attack the high valleys and gorges? Then I’ll pile up a road. At that time, the soldiers directly raised their shields and rushed up the pass wall, or even rode their horses. What defense do you use?
Although six feet high, it is not a big project to pile up an inclined earth slope. He has ten thousand metropolitan officials responsible for digging, pushing carts, and piled up soil. There are thousands of soldiers behind him who can take turns to cover it.
Three days?
More than enough.
Ray closed.
Qin Lang's commanding flag was still not up, and even Han Wei's military flag was not up.
Seeing that the Tubo people in the pass were busy, Qin Lang and others could see after a while that the Tubo people were trying to make an idea.
"Don't say, although this is a stupid method, it is indeed quite right. It seems that Tubo is not all stupid."
Han Wei looked around and said, "Xuan Xiang, I have figured it out long ago. The Tubo army is dozens of miles away. There are only more than 10,000 people here, and most of them are slaves of civil servants. I asked me to open the Guancheng directly and kill them all in one round."
"I'm so anxious that I can't eat hot tofu. The show just started. Why are you anxious?"
Qin Lang is not too anxious or busy. He is defending Tubo and attacking, he is the master, and Tubo is a guest. He is waiting for his leisure to work, so why is he anxious?
"Look at the cleverness of Lun Dongzan, you have to let others perform?"
Several generals were there looking at me and I looked at you, "Xuan Xiang, in fact, we had the opportunity to wipe out these little men last night. The five or six thousand people who were ambushed behind were not worth mentioning at all. We are now tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and is it more than enough to destroy them?"
"Everyone said, fish with patience. At best, this Gardongzan is just a small fish. The abandoned sect farmer behind is the real big fish. If you cut the axe, you will scare the big fish away? Our Lei Pass was built with a lot of money and manual labor. Now we have finally had the opportunity to play, so how can we waste this opportunity? Have you ever caught a big fish? First, you have to be patient, and second, you have to be able to walk the fish. You can't pull it hard, otherwise it will be easy to get rid of the hook. You have to walk slowly until it loses energy. It is time to lift the rod."
"Look, I can't be anxious."
