Goguryeo is a small country. Although it has a population of more than 350 million, there is an absolute quantitative gap with Datang.Regardless of population, economy, or military equipment, there is a huge gap.In particular, war horses are convenient. The official racecourses of the Tang Dynasty have no less than 70 adult horses, while the number of war horses owned by the people exceeds one million.

If Li Jiancheng is willing, he only needs food and grass to keep up, and he can arm more than fifty cavalry.In this era, cavalry is like the tanks of later generations. It is no exaggeration to say that Goguryeo has no way to resist 50 cavalry.

If Goguryeo wants to catch up with the people of Datang, it needs not only management, but also time.Others may not be able to see this clearly, but it is impossible for Yuansu Gaiwen, the son of the great opponent Lu, to see clearly.

For them, Goguryeo, the best situation is that there will be another chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, 72 routes of dust and smoke, and 36 routes against the king.

The development of Goguryeo has reached a bottleneck. Even if Silla, Baekje, and South Korea are annexed, the economic and military gap between the two sides cannot be narrowed.However, if the Tang Dynasty was in chaos like the Sui Dynasty, the Han people in Liaodong, Youzhou, and Pingzhou would flee to Goguryeo. These Han people would bring new agricultural technologies, alchemy and mechanical processing to Goguryeo. As long as one goes up and down, it is not impossible for Goguryeo to eventually equalize the gap with Datang.

In fact, choosing Li Yuanji at the beginning was not the only choice for Goguryeo. If Li Yuanji disagreed, they could also take an alternative plan to steal Du Fuwei out of Chang'an City.

It's just that Du Fuwei's weight is far inferior to Li Yuanji's.

Li Yuanji said: "Now is not a time of great strife, and it is not an era of all heroes competing in the world!"

Yuansu Gaiwen said with a smile: "As long as His Highness is willing, the Tang Dynasty can become such a great era at any time!"

……

In the Provincial Political Affairs Hall under the door, only Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, and Li Jiancheng were left.

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, if I agree with this imperial edict, please promise me three things!"

Li Jiancheng hurriedly said: "Xuanling, please tell me, let alone three, I will agree to thirty."

Fang Xuanling said in a loud voice: "First: Your Majesty will imitate the Sui system to recruit scholars and recruit scholars from all over the world to enter the imperial court; second: repair farming and construction and exempt miscellaneous taxes."

Li Jiancheng nodded while listening.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Third: reorganize and train all the troops in the hands of the generals, weed out those troops with low combat effectiveness and loose discipline, dismiss those incompetent officers, and spend three to six months to train a group of troops. Here comes the best soldiers."

After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, she silently watched Li Jiancheng and waited for the result.

Li Jiancheng bowed deeply to Fang Xuanling, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, do everything according to Xuanling's instructions, I agree, I agree to everything!"

Wei Zheng continued: "Right now, we just wait for when the news of General Chen's victory will come!"

Fang Xuanling looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile: "On the battlefield, everything changes rapidly. Isn't Xuancheng worried about accidents?"

Li Jiancheng said: "No accident, General Chen has never let me down, has he?"

Under Li Jiancheng's order, the Chang'an Twelve Guard Generals, in the name of abolishment, each reduced the number of soldiers ranging from one to two regiments, and these soldiers went to the military in name to return home.

In fact, they have already been assigned to enter Jiannan Road for mountain training.

……

In Kangyanju City, an unexpected spring rain poured down from the gaps in the clouds, mixed with the puddles of dirty blood, and many Tubo wounded soldiers shivered in the red blood Trembling and wailing in pain, they couldn't last much longer.

The uninjured Tubo soldiers also stood in the rain, and the rain was covered with blood and poured down the sleeves and trousers in straight lines, and the faces that were once full of murderous looks were now full of confusion.

This was a defeat that hurt both sides. Nearly 2000 soldiers of the Beiwei Army in Kangyanju City were injured, while the Tubo army suffered more than [-] casualties.Although it is said that the exchange ratio of Beiwei Army has an absolute upper hand, Liu Tong is not satisfied.

What made the Tibetans feel helpless the most was that all the wounded soldiers had a disgusting stench from their wounds, and the whole wounded camp was even more stinky.

After paying such a huge price, the Tibetans only consumed the yaks and war horses in Kangyanju City.

Those despicable guys relied on yaks and war horses, causing countless Tubo warriors to die of hatred.

"What the hell!"

A Tubo Dongpu bowed to Songtsen Gampo with a gloomy face, and then took out a wet bamboo tube and presented it with both hands.

Songtsan Gampo weighed it, and found that the weight was not light, probably over a catty. He was about to tear off the cotton cloth on the bamboo tube, when Ru Daren hurriedly stopped Songtsan Gampo.

However, Ru Daren was still a step behind.

Songtsen Gampo still tore off the strip of cotton cloth, and asked, "Is this the thing?"

As a result, Songtsan Gampo was almost fainted by the stench.

That Dong Puqiong gritted his teeth and said: "That's the thing! Those bastards took out this thing and threw it among us, and it exploded, a large piece!"

In fact, this is just a primitive weapon of the Beiwei Army.Take the refined kerosene mixed with feces. As long as it is ignited, the violent kerosene will burn and explode. This kind of hand beat can form a sea of ​​fire within ten steps. The most important thing is that this is a very flavorful weapons.

Not only does it aggravate the bacterial infection, but it is also a serious blow to the morale of the Tibetans.

Dozens of tribal leaders gathered together, and they wanted to eat the rats alive.The thing is obvious, after Su Piguo took refuge in Datang, the once defeated subordinates changed their shotguns, and their combat effectiveness improved by leaps and bounds.

The scum of Subi Kingdom is a huge threat to the Tubo people.Subi Kingdom is familiar with everything in the snowfield, and is equipped with the most sophisticated weapons. If they are not eliminated as soon as possible, the tribes living in the snowfield will not be able to live in peace.

For the sake of the future, they have to hunt down and beat the dog who is in the water. It doesn't count if they are killed, but they have to stew it and eat it in their stomachs to feel at ease!The various tribes who felt the danger responded positively, and those strong Tubo men rode on their horses one after another and gathered towards Kang Yanju, and the strength of the Tubo army increased sharply.

What Supinazhen is particularly distressed about is that the number of songs under her command is rapidly decreasing.Although the loss of the Beiwei Army was less than 2000 people, the Subi tribe had killed more than 6000 people. At this time, the Supi tribe had only more than [-] people, half of which was lost. Such a heavy casualty made his heart bleed.There are still [-] people in the Subi tribe in name. In fact, most of them are widows and old people pulling a bunch of children, or two old people depend on each other. Under the premise of the tribe and the tribe, the soldiers she could mobilize were only in the early [-]s. Now that nearly [-] soldiers were lost at once, she was ready to die.

If Chen Ying's banner was faintly visible from time to time, she even thought of surrendering to Songtsen Gampo.In the eyes of Subinazhen, the resistance at this time is meaningless. Although the Kangyan city is not lost, there are not many Subi people left.

In fact, it was not only her who felt distressed, Songtsen Gampo also felt distressed.

However, Chen Yingtie's heart was nestled in the valley fifty miles away, threatening the flanks of the Tubo army from time to time, making him flustered.

Of course, it wasn't that Chen Ying didn't want to rescue Kang Yanju City. The key point was that Chen Ying was no longer in the valley. What was left was Chen Ying's banner, Liu Rengui who acted cheaply, and less than 3000 troops under his command.

Chen Ying has already led other Anxi Army officers and soldiers, a total of more than [-] troops, and Guo Xiaoke's troops to Naqu City, the original base of Beiwei Army.

Entering the snowy field, Chen Ying discovered that the Hook and Sickle Cavalry raid, which he was best at, had lost its place to be used.The terrain here is narrow and there are very few plains.Moreover, the generals of the Anxi Army reacted somewhat uncomfortable. Although the combat effectiveness could be maintained, they could not launch group assault tactics like the Western Regions.

Seeing this situation, Chen Ying decided to change his tactics.

After arriving at Nagqu City, Chen Ying sent the remaining troops of the Beiwei army and messengers who were familiar with the Tubo language to contact the leaders of the Tubo tribe.

"Now we have to figure out the attitude of Tubo. If they decide to side with Songtsen Gampo, then we will act first and destroy them first." Chen Ying said.

"Will they be on our side?" Hearing Chen Ying's words, Ma Zhou hesitated for a moment and said, "Compared to Songtsan Gampo, we are outsiders. My suggestion is, instead of giving them time to organize, It's better to destroy them directly!"

Ma Zhou's idea is simple.

Thinking about it differently, if he stood in the position of the Tibetans, he would also choose Songtsen Gampo to join forces, drive away Chen Ying and other invaders first, and then discuss the ownership of this land.It doesn't make any sense to contact them at this time, but it will make them prepare.The best choice is to take advantage of Songtsan Gampo leading an army of tens of thousands to besiege Kang Yanju, the rear is empty, and directly wipe out the tribes behind them.

However, Chen Ying's opinion was just the opposite.

"The enemy of the enemy is a friend! This place has been independent and dispersed for too long!" Chen Ying looked at Ma Zhou and said, "For most tribal leaders, a unified Tubo means that there will be A ruler, the heads of various tribes have established their own rules, and now someone is standing up again to claim the sovereignty of this land, if it were you, what would you think?"

It is actually very difficult to form a unified country from a loose tribe.

Qin Shihuang unified the divided countries.However, the survivors of the six countries in Guanzhong still shook the foundation of the Great Qin Empire.The tyranny at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the tyranny that was fiercer than a tiger, and the execution that was overdue, were actually proved by the unearthed Yunmeng Jane. These are all lies.

The truth of history is that Qin State unified the world and abolished the feudal state and hereditary system, which violated the interests of the nobles of the six countries.
