Chapter 356 Can’t get married anymore
The difference between heroes and ordinary people is that ordinary people will lose themselves, but heroes will never lose themselves. After a period of hesitation, Lu Dongzan finally signed the agreement, but Lu Dongzan also had This is a requirement. As long as Tubo does not breach the contract, Datang will not be able to announce the news to the public.
This can be regarded as leaving the last face for Tubo. Yimao has no objection to this. Mr. Zeng nodded slightly and saw it, and this article was written into the agreement.
"This man is really a talented person. He thinks about everything very carefully. Fortunately, Tubo is now weakened. If Tubo is in his hands, it will definitely be in order in less than ten years. By then, Tubo will be in good order. The Tang Dynasty is in trouble."
Looking at Lu Dongzan's back, Mr. Zeng sincerely praised him, especially in terms of choice. Many people would make such mistakes, but Lu Dongzan persevered. For the sake of his country and people, he chose to give up his woman. , so Changsun Pingting's marriage career did not even reach Tuyuhun.
"Damn guy."
Even so, Changsun Chong wanted to go out and kill him. Last time, Changsun Pingting stayed at home and did not get married because her husband died. This time something like this happened again. It will not be easy to find a husband in the future. Well, according to the rules of Chang'an City, you either have to live alone in your parents' family until you grow old, or you can only work as a house filler for others, or you can find someone who wants to climb up the ladder.
But no matter which choice she made, Changsun Pingting's life would be ruined. If the last time was an accident, then this time it was purely man-made. If the bastard in front of him didn't propose marriage, how could the emperor admit it? What about this matter? So Changsun Chong still has hatred for him.
"Let's not talk too much, and quickly sort out the troops below. Send people to survey this hundred-mile area as soon as possible. We can't let them leave spies. Our troops have to take turns to go up for training. In the future, we and the Tubo Kingdom will We don’t know yet whether the war can start, but we must be prepared for war.”
Li Xiang's words brought everyone back to reality. Today's Tubo Kingdom is indeed in decline, but for a big country, as long as it is given three to five years to recuperate, then this loss is nothing. Tuyuhunzhi So they can't stand up because their strategic depth is too small and they can't stand up after one blow. But Tubo is different. It has a vast domestic territory and a large number of people. They are much more terrifying than Tuyuhun. .
"Prime Minister..."
After returning to the military camp, Lu Dongzan didn't say a word. General Hu Yan was also a little worried next to him. The doctor had said in the past few days that Lu Dongzan's health was extremely bad and it was best not to have too much stimulation. The hair on your head can tell everything, but today I still went for a thrill, and it was the biggest thrill in my life.
"You all go down and let me have a good quiet time. I only give you three hours. You must organize half of the troops and then go back with me immediately. We don't have much time, and neither can the border areas. Take it lightly.”
Lu Dongzan said very firmly that he needed to find a place to lick his wounds. As for the Tang army in the border area, he was sure that the other party would not attack, but some things must be prepared. If you are not prepared, If so, then don’t blame others for attacking you.
General Huyan nodded, and then hurried down to make arrangements. They were also prepared in the border areas. If the Tang Dynasty's army came over, we would definitely not let them live a good life. Don't think that we are leaving. Now, this is your world. In fact, many places here are suitable for ambushes. If the Tang army really comes in, the unlucky ones will be the Tang army. This is why Li Xiang chose to conclude a treaty instead of leading his army in. a reason.
Many people in the Tang army were puzzled. Only Li Xiang came in and understood how difficult the road here was. Let alone an army of tens of thousands, even an army of several thousand was not good. Let's go. We haven't reached their holy city yet. Maybe our army has suffered heavy losses. Li Xiang is very clear about the impact of non-combat attrition on the morale of the army. He probably hasn't reached Chief Maiqi's territory yet. , there should be deserters among us.
What's more, on this plateau, we may not be able to receive our own profits. The war is about money and food, and we must have a certain amount of profits. If there is only a war without profits, then even if you win, This war also failed in feudal society.
Some people may also say that after occupying Tubo, our strategic security has reached its highest level. This is true. If Datang now has enough productivity and sufficient surplus supplies, then there is nothing wrong with us doing this. Yes, but now many people in the Tang Dynasty are still living in poverty. How can we get money to protect such a large territory? Then there will be so much pressure on the people. Maybe the enemy did not come from the outside, but we came first from within. If there is a problem, then the gain will really outweigh the loss.
According to the agreement, the Tang army can only move forward a hundred miles, and cannot move the boundary monument. This is also Lu Dongzan's last insistence. Li Xiang did not insist on such a matter, as long as we actually control it That’s it.
Li Xiang has already made arrangements for Changsun Chong. Although we only have more than 3,000 troops, the nearby hills are in very good locations. As long as we place a few ballistas on them, we will definitely dominate the surrounding areas. , even if the Tubo Kingdom wants to take it back, we can still cause them heavy losses, at least as many people as you have to die as much as the territory is.
In addition, after controlling this dangerous area, it is basically impossible for the Tubo Kingdom to attack Tuyuhun from here. The area after walking out from here is relatively flat, and it is also where the Tubo army gathers. After the plateau area, they can only form a single or double queue. In this case, they cannot launch a war. In other words, we have snatched the place where they gathered.
The signing of this agreement also means that it will be a hundred times more difficult for Tubo to attack the Tang Dynasty than before the agreement was signed, almost eliminating their idea of taking over the Central Plains...
