Datang: It’s a showdown, I’m an all-around master

Chapter 239 Tubo's Invasion

Until the 12th year of Zhenguan.

All things are developing in an orderly manner.

The present Datang is full of harmony.

People's lives have also reached a better level.

During this period, Datang gradually showed its strength.

The Tuyuhun and Dangxiang Qiang tribes gradually merged with the Tang Dynasty.

They have already felt the strength and prosperity of Datang.

However, at this time, our Tubo kingdom is restless.

Ever since the Tubo envoys came to Datang to marry him and failed, Ha Zhuo was defeated by Yi Yin, and the envoys were killed by Yi Yin, the Tubo King Songtsan Gampo has always held a grudge.

Songtsen Gampo spent four years recruiting a large number of men into the army, strengthening the training of Tubo soldiers, and improving their combat capabilities.

For four years, Songtsen Gampo believed that during these four years, the soldiers of the Tubo Kingdom had already possessed the ability to compete with the Tang Dynasty.

Songtsan Gampo did not doubt this question at all.

He convened all the important officials to discuss and prepare to attack Datang.

Of course, during the course of the deliberations, some dignitaries raised objections.

They believe that the current Datang is powerful.

But Songtsen Gampo insisted that Tubo could compete with the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, Datang refused his request to propose marriage before, and killed his envoys, this revenge must be avenged!

Under the encouragement and instigation of Songtsen Gampo, important officials finally had to agree to Songtsen Gampo's proposal.

For this reason, Songtsan Gampo is full of confidence!
He believes that this time, Datang will definitely be won.

He doesn't just want a princess.

He wants to bring all the princesses who beat him to Tibet.

No, Songtsen Gampo thought naively, he wanted to live in Chang'an City and drive Li Shimin out of that position.

After all, a 20 army is a huge army. Songtsen Gampo felt that with this 20 army, he could sweep the entire Tang Dynasty.

When an important official said that the Tang Dynasty took down Tuyuhun with two hundred soldiers, Songtsan Gampo coaxed: "I, Tubo, can also take down the Tang Dynasty, and let the Tang Dynasty be a vassal of our Tubo." !"

The arrogance caused by arrogance and excessive self-confidence prompted Songtsen Gampo to make wrong decisions.

In the 12th year of Zhenguan, Songtsan Gampo assembled an army of 20 troops, marching from Tubo to the territory of Datang.

Songtsan Gampo was good at riding and archery when he was a boy, he practiced martial arts, and his skills were very good.

His training of soldiers is also very strict, and his soldiers are well-trained!

Therefore, he is very confident that he will lead an army of 20 to defeat Datang, and he will be ashamed!
Moreover, before that, Songtsan Gampo had conquered some small neighboring countries and submitted them to Tubo.

Moreover, before leading troops to attack Datang Songzhou, Songtsen Gampo led his 20 army and defeated Tuyuhun, a subsidiary state of the Tang Dynasty.

The speed of time is staggering.

Murong Xiaojun of Tuyuhun didn't even have time to send Han Wei, the governor who was stationed in Songzhou City in Datang, Tuyuhun was attacked by Tubo.

King Tuyuhun wanted to stick to it, but he didn't have the ability.

A few years ago, Tuyuhun was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, and up to now, he has not fully recovered.

Tubo Songtsan Gampo led the soldiers to attack, and Tuyuhun collapsed and was finally captured by Tubo.

After defeating Tuyuhun, a subsidiary state of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsan Gampo was supreme. He looked at the accompanying generals and said, "Look, I, Tubo, is so powerful, so what can I do as a subsidiary state of the Tang Dynasty? I, Songtsan Gampo, , also took it down, and now, Tuyuhun belongs to me, Tubo!"

This kind of pride is beyond words!
Since then, Songtsan Gampo has been supported by casual soldiers.

They all believed that under the leadership of Songtsan Gampo, they could successfully defeat Datang and become the overlord.

In fact, before this, Songtsan Gampo had not fought many battles. The victory during this period made him feel that he was so willing to win the battle.

"That's great!" Songtsen Gampo, sitting on his horse, raised his arms proudly and shouted, "The world is ours!"

The 20 troops cheered along with Songtsan Gampo.

Suddenly, the cheers shook the sky!

Shocking cheers echoed in the air!

Under such circumstances, Songtsan Gampo believed that he could already compete with Datang for hegemony, and he wanted to subdue Datang and make it his own vassal state.

Songtsen Gampo led an army of 20, and after many days of trekking, he came to Songzhou, a heavy city west of Datang.

The location of Songzhou City is very important.

Songzhou is the main road leading to Tuyuhun from Jiannan Road in the Tang Dynasty. There is Gansong Ridge three hundred miles northwest of Songzhou City, and Datang set up a Tongrail Army to guard it.

To the west of Tonggui Army is Dangxiang, and the northwest of Dangxiang leads to Tuyuhun.

Such a large group of people suddenly appeared in Songzhou City, and the soldiers stationed there were frightened when they found out.

For so many years, I haven't seen so many troops gathered outside the city.

With so many people suddenly appearing, everyone was naturally a little frightened.

The soldiers stationed in Songzhou City immediately reported to the governor Han Wei.

Han Wei was also taken aback when he heard this, and immediately stood up.

"What? So many soldiers?" Han Wei said looking at the person who reported.

"Yes, Commander, we are also very shocked. Over the years, there have never been so many soldiers in Datang's territory at once."

Governor Han Wei said: "Do you know who it is?"

The soldier shook his head and said, "I don't know."

After reacting, Han Wei immediately calmed down.

He is still a bit of a brush in Datang.

Otherwise, why would the emperor entrust him with the task of stationing Songzhou City?
That speaks volumes about his ability.

Han Wei looked at the soldiers and said, "Don't panic, go and find out who came, and then report."

The soldiers rushed out.

After a while, he came to report again.

"Captain, the outsiders sent someone to see the governor, do you want him to come in?"

Han Wei heard the words, thinking that this person has not lost his manners.

"Let him in." Han Wei ordered.

After a while, a man who was very different from Datang walked in.

Han Wei is usually well-informed, and when he saw this person, he knew that this person was in Tibetan attire.

"Are you from Tubo?" Han Wei asked.

The man nodded and said, "Exactly."

"I heard that there are 20 soldiers surrounded outside my Songzhou City. Are you from Tubo?" Han Wei asked directly.

The envoy was not humble, nodded and said, "That's right, it's our Tubo soldiers."

"So many people, why come to my Songzhou City?" Han Wei looked at the messenger with a fierce look in his eyes!

There is a murderous look emerging.

The envoy was not panicked, but looked at Han Wei and said, "I heard that Dudu Han is the most sensible. We Zanpu sent me to tell Dudu Han to submit to my Tubo Kingdom. If this is the case, we will save lives!"

Hearing this, Han Wei said angrily, how could I, the great Tang Dynasty, be comparable to a tiny place like Tubo?

The emissary heard the words and said: "Dudu Han, I advise you to be a hero who knows the current affairs. As long as my 20 Tubo army launches an attack, Songzhou City can be destroyed in an instant!"

When Han Wei heard the words, he said, "Come here and have a try!"
