Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2452
Songtsen Gampo frightened other tribes with extremely bloody means.

Soon, other tribes expressed their surrender.

After the news reached Wangcheng, Songtsan Gampo nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, okay, these tribes are really tough and not soft, let them know how powerful we are, they will surrender obediently, and there are no conditions, yes, yes, now that the tribes have surrendered, I have a stable interior in Tubo , the only thing that needs to be guarded against is Datang."

Speaking of this, Songtsan Gampo paused for a while, and then asked: "Where is the Tang army led by Qin Tian, ​​and how long will it take to reach our Tubo territory?"

Their spies have been inquiring about these news all the time.

After Songtsan Gampo made an inquiry, some officials soon stood up: "Hui Sheng told me that it will take half a month for the Tang army to reach Gancheng in our Tubo."

Half a month is not a long time, but it is not a short time either.

Gancheng is a desert city in their territory of Tubo. It can be regarded as a city built in the desert. This city is not very important for Tubo. It has never been developed before, so it can only be regarded as a small city in Tubo. a city.

However, such a city is now the closest city in Tubo to the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, this city can now be regarded as their border city.

If the Tang army crossed this city, they would be able to drive straight in and enter the hinterland of Tubo.

Once they enter the hinterland, they will become very passive.

So, after hearing the news, Songtsan Gampo thought about it for a while, and then made a decision.

"Mobilize [-] soldiers and rush to Gancheng. We must stop the Tang army. Even if we can't stop them, we must fight to the death with the Tang army in that place to consume their strength."

Gancheng is surrounded by deserts, which are most conducive to cavalry operations. They have a large number of Tubo cavalry. If they can intercept the Tang army in Gancheng, then their Tubo can be defended, and there will be no problem.

After Songtsan Gampo said this, no one had any objections, and there was only one thing they didn't understand, and that was who was sent to Gancheng to resist the Tang army.

Although Tubo at this time was not like before, it was still full of famous generals. When everyone realized this problem, some generals had already started to recommend themselves.

"Your Majesty Zanpu, the last general is not talented, and he is willing to lead the troops there."

"Zanpu, at this time when Tubo is in danger, the general is willing to die for Tubo for me.

"Zanpu, the last general is also willing to lead the troops there."

"........."

The crowd kept talking, Songtsen Gampo thought for a while, and finally chose one person.

"Luo Feisi, I will leave this matter to you. After one hundred thousand soldiers arrive in Gancheng, I don't care what you do. You need to stop Tang Jun, understand?"

"Please rest assured, Zanpu, we will know in the end."

After Luo Feisi took the order, he hurriedly retreated, and soon, a hundred thousand soldiers rushed towards Gancheng.
-
The spring breeze gradually softened.

The chill receded.

And at this time, Qin Tian entered the territory of Tubo with soldiers and horses.

And at this time, some spies had already narrated to him about some situations that happened in Tubo territory.

"My lord, after Xu Jian entered Tubo, he sold food and grass to several tribes. After the Tubo Zanpu Songtsen Gampo learned about it, he thought that these tribes were in collusion with Tang Dynasty, so he sent troops to go there. Destroy these tribes..."

The spies murmured about these things, and when the spies mentioned that the Tubo tribes were killing each other, everyone was very excited.

But knowing that Songtsan Gampo suppressed the rebellion of those tribes in the end, everyone felt somewhat unhappy.

"After all, this Xu Jian still failed to complete the task.

"My lord, Tubo is now stable again. If we want to destroy Tubo, we may have to pay a heavy price."

"This Xu Jian can't do things well."

"........."

Everyone talked in a hurry, anyway, they had everything to say.

However, when they were talking like this, Qin Tian thought about it for a while, and then asked: "How long will it take before we can reach Gancheng?"

"My lord, it will take at least four or five days to go, but now there are [-] Tubo soldiers in Gancheng City, and there are two Tubo tribes nearby, if they set off, they can arrive in a day."

There are many soldiers and horses in Gancheng, and within a day, foreign aid can arrive.

Such a city is actually very dangerous.

However, Qin Tian didn't care much about this. After hearing the news, he nodded and said, "We don't have to worry about Xu Jian's affairs. As long as he is still in Tubo, he will definitely find a way to disturb Tubo. The situation, and he let the Tubo kill each other before, it can be regarded as clearing some obstacles for us, what we have to do next is to take the soldiers and horses to Gancheng, and destroy the Tubo soldiers and horses in the city of Gancheng."

Hearing that Qin Tian wanted to directly destroy the [-] Tubo soldiers in Gancheng, the crowd suddenly became a little dazed.

They have a lot of soldiers, 10,000+, but their purpose is to use these soldiers to destroy Tubo, not just defeat Tubo, or capture a few cities.

In this way, these 10,000+ soldiers and horses are extremely important to them.

If the damage in Gancheng is severe, it will not be easy for them to destroy Tubo.

"My lord, it's not that my subordinates think that we can't take down Gancheng, but that there are many soldiers and horses in Gancheng, and there are reinforcements on both sides. If their reinforcements arrive, we can attack like this. I'm afraid it won't be very good."

"Yes, my lord, should we think of other ways to capture Gancheng and minimize the casualties of our army? That's the most important thing."

"My lord..."

Although the crowd didn't object directly, the meaning was quite obvious. When Qin Tian heard what they said, his complexion suddenly changed and became ugly.

"Okay, the purpose of our trip is to destroy Tubo, but if we want to destroy Tubo, we can't do it without the heart of fighting to the death, and we can't do it without fighting hard. It's so easy to destroy Tubo casually There are [-] Tubo soldiers and horses in Gancheng, which is a good opportunity for us to swallow them. As long as we cannibalize the Tubo soldiers and horses slowly, they will be wiped out by us sooner or later. As for the other two Tubo tribes, this king Bet they won't come to Gancheng for rescue."

Although these Tubo tribes chose to surrender, in Qin Tian's view, they were just in harmony with each other. Regarding Songtsan Gampo's situation, they might not be able to save each other.

In this way, what their Tang army had to face was only [-] Tubo soldiers.
