The goddess Qiang Shui not only helped her husband to defend Wuzhou, but also turned Wuzhou into a fortified city.

Not only that, among the thousands of miscellaneous soldiers in Wuzhou, a steady stream of strong generals were sent to Zhang Yichao's rebel army, and a steady stream of supporting forces were sent out from Wuzhou.

Only in August of the second year of Dazhong (848), by the end of the year, there were more than ten large and small robberies and attacks by Tibetan soldiers in Wuzhou, involving two to three hundred people in small groups and more than a thousand people in large groups.

After returning with a complete victory, 60 to 70% of the Tubo soldiers were killed.

Wuzhou City, which looked like a mess, turned out to be a strong fortress for the Tang Dynasty in the west. This is the importance of strategy, but where did the strategy come from? Of course, this shows the importance of talent. Where did the talent come from?

Many people think that Jiang Ziya’s Three Tao and Six Strategies are needed, Zhuge Liang’s astronomy and geography are needed, and Sun Tzu’s Art of War is needed, but You Yang was born in a merchant family and uses the mentality of a merchant. You can also copy his methods into the martial arts classics.

Among the seven books, the merchant's thinking cannot be incorporated into any of the schools of thought.

Wuzhou was so strong that it not only became a source of troops, but also became a contact point for many wealthy businessmen in the Tang Dynasty to support Zhang Yichao's rebel army. This became Zhang Yichao's strong rear area. His wife's brother Song Huo and his sister-in-law You Yang were his nobles.

.Lao Taishan’s home in Wuzhou is his inexhaustible source of soldiers and money.

So, in August of the second year of Dazhong, the Ganquan in Shazhou flooded Song Chen's army. What happened?

At that time, Shazhou City had been captured for more than seven months and had basically become Zhang Xiong's forward base. Although it was difficult to communicate with the court, Zhang Xiong gathered many heroes, monk soldiers and Tang people by appointing himself Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty.

The heroes gathered from various places were organized into an army, the outstanding ones were appointed as captains, and the sworn brothers from all over the country were appointed as generals. They were equipped with equipment and trained. The combination of farming and war was implemented, which did not miss the farming time and strengthened training, and gradually formed an army.

A powerful force capable of fighting against the Tibetan army.

Beginning in June of this year, Zhang Xiong began to conquer Yizhou and Xizhou to the north of Shazhou, and Guazhou and Suzhou to the east of Shazhou.

The Shazhou garrison is mainly composed of Li Chong, the tenth brother of the Twelve Heroes of Fuhuang, Lao Taishan Song Chen is the deputy, Zhang Yun, the eighth brother of the Twelve Heroes of Fuhuang, the youngest Suojiao, Fengxian Song Kai, the Tubo surrendered general

Dorji Solang and others guarded the four gates.

A special explanation needs to be made here. It took half a year for the 3,000 soldiers of Song Chen's Wuzhou Army to be divided into 15 teams. Without sufficient military pay as a guarantee, they would not be able to reach the sandbank at all, and they would be exhausted.

How far is it from Wuzhou to Shazhou? Two thousand five hundred miles.

On the way to the northwest from Wuzhou, Danzhou, Minzhou, Taozhou, Hezhou, Shanzhou, Ganzhou, Suzhou, and Guazhou were all controlled by the Tubo people. Where do you go to rest and where do you go to eat?

, how to feed the horses? and other questions, it requires a large amount of financial support to complete the expedition and rescue.

Not to mention food, housing, food and clothing, just for decoration and supplies, each person needs 300 guan, and three thousand people will get 900,000 guan, which is 900 guan. If you are rich, it should be calculated as 1,000 guan.

Marching 2,500 miles, alternating horse steps, walking 250 miles every day, for ten days, we need food, accommodation, food and grass. One person and one horse need one hundred coins per day, which is enough money for ten days. Three thousand people rush

To Shazhou, it was another three thousand guan. Along the way, there were two thousand more people, and it was another 2,000 guan. The food and grass totaled 5,000 guan.

Along the way, we have to deal with emergencies, heal wounds, replenish damaged weapons, horses die from illness and death in battle, and other unexpected miscellaneous incidents. When five thousand people arrive in Shazhou, at least four thousand more guns are prepared.

To sum up, there are 5,000 men and horses arriving in Shazhou, and they cannot get there without 10,000 guan. Having said all this, a question arises: how did Song Chen and his men and horses come to Shazhou for the 10,000 guan money?

?

The previous document has revealed that it was precisely because of Anzhi's help that Song Chen's Wuzhou Army was able to go to Shazhou. This is an army that has been undergoing formal training all year round and has rich practical experience. It is not always given to his son-in-law.

Zhang Xiong has provided a large coaching team.

In the first month of this year, Zhangxiong Shazhou Uprising, Wuning Nan Youtong and Wuning County Jun Anzhi got the news from Qingzhou. Why did they know so quickly?

Zhang Xiong told them the arrangements for the year after the New Year at the gathering of the Twelve Heroes of Suihuang years ago. They used the information conveyed through Song Kai and Suo Jiao's relatives channel. It was not as complicated as reporting to the emperor, so

, I already knew it in less than half a month.

The Thirteenth Oil General of the Huang Mansion urgently negotiated and prepared sufficient funds to assist the army in Wuzhou. Without the participation of the Wuzhou Army, the gathering of heroes alone without formal military management would quickly collapse. Therefore, the Wuzhou Army was dispatched urgently.

is the best way.

Several other Jiedu areas in the west close to Longyou had little communication with Zhang Xiong and would not be able to rescue him. Furthermore, no one would take the risk of rushing to rescue without the emperor's order.

The generals and ministers in the DPRK may even think that this is a civil strife in Tubo. Once Zhang Yichao's rebel army is put down by Tubo, not only will it not have any effect, but it will also provide an opportunity for Tibet to strengthen its rule in the future. Therefore, according to normal thinking, the generals and ministers will

Choose silence.

However, Zhang Yichao himself overthrew the rule of the Tubo people, but he could give a book to Tang Ting to conquer Longyou in the simplest way. This is the cruelty and deceit of politicians.

But the business community, which was scorned by them and scolded as treacherous and unscrupulous, would never engage in such treachery. The process and outcome of Zhang Yichao's uprising are exactly the opposite evidence provided by the extremely ironic historical reality.

Fortunately, last year, after Xuanhan Hou Wang Lingtong led the northern armies and suffered a huge defeat, the already chaotic situation in Tubo became even more chaotic. The Tubo generals who occupied the Longyou prefectures were at war with each other.

They all planned to fight for the supreme rule of Tubo.

Coupled with the uprising of the slaves accompanying the Tubo army, the slave rebel army in the Helong area called itself the Hunmo Army. The Wenmo Army was formed in Liangzhou.

In addition to the great uprising of slaves in the Longyou area at the junction of Tang and Tibet, there were also many uprisings of slaves and civilians in Tubo itself, including the craftsmen leader Wei Kuojieledeng, and later Wei Luopoloqiong, Qinpu and Gongbu.

The leader of the six slaves in the region.

Later, it even developed to the point of excavating multiple Zanpu tombs in Qiongjie, Shannan, and dividing the treasures among them.

This unprecedented large-scale internal melee in Tubo was originally caused by the Tubo monks killing Zampulang Dama in the second year of Huichang (842). His wife, the Wei family, established his maternal nephew Yundan, and his son Ersong established himself in Shannan.

Suddenly two Zamps appeared.

Lun Qingre, who served as the envoy to attack Luo Menchuan, and Yun Dan, who usurped the throne in the western expedition, defeated Prime Minister Shang Siluo and became the most powerful force in Tubo. He learned from Cao Cao and called himself prime minister.

In the third year of Huichang (843), the fear of heat led to a great melee in the towns of Longyou in the northeastern part of Tubo. This year was regarded as the year of the demise of the Tubo dynasty, which ended in 225 years.

History has come to an end. In fact, Tubo Zampu existed at the same time as many people who claimed to be Zampu or leader.

At that time, Lun Kere, the self-proclaimed prime minister, led 200,000 troops to attack the Shanzhou Jiedushi envoy Shang Jingnu, who was not convinced by him. Shang Jingnu defeated Lun Kere with 40,000 troops, almost wiping out his entire army. Later, Lun Kere

, Shang Nunuo continued to gather relevant forces to start a battle, and all Tubo towns in Longyou Prefecture were involved in this melee.

This melee lasted until the seventh year of Yizong's Xiantong reign (866), when Tuoba Huaiguang, a general of Shangnujiu, was killed for fear of heat, and the melee ended.

This melee, which lasted for twenty-three years, almost wiped out all the elite soldiers and generals of the upper echelon of Tibet. This melee also completely sent the glory of Tubo to the grave. Later generations never recovered the glory of the Tubo dynasty in its heyday.

lofty.

It is a pity that the emperors of the Tang Dynasty at this time and later, and the emperors of the Song Dynasty after that, were basically incompetent in economics and martial arts, but high in political power. Even though Zhang Yichao created such a good situation, he did not take the opportunity to bring Tubo into the territory. The writer couldn't help but

Three sighs of regret.

In the first month of the first month, Zhang Xiong successfully launched the Shazhou Uprising and beheaded the Tubo Shazhou Jiedu envoy Zhandui. Of the five thousand Tibetan soldiers in the city, about two thousand were killed. Most of the rest surrendered and a few escaped. Among those who escaped, there were

Basang, the son of Zhandui.

At this time, Ankang Bo Song Chen was already a sixty-eight-year-old veteran. In addition to Wan Guan assisting the army, You Tong, Anzhi, and Huang Zhao also personally participated in the battle and obeyed Song Chen's instructions. Why did they dare to directly participate in the battle?

This is the fearlessness of being a trafficker. In their minds, as long as they think that it hinders the spirit of credit, no matter which country or state you are in, or no matter how powerful or difficult to capture you are, it will not matter.

I won’t have any fear, I’ll just go into battle and fuck you.

According to the order of Li Chong, the commander-in-chief of Shazhou, Song Chen's section mainly dealt with the direction of the south gate. Song Chen himself guarded the south gate, Huang Zhao acted as Zhe Chong, Huang Fu acted as the gate captain, You Tong, and Anzhi followed Song Chen to move.

personnel.

During this period, Zhang Xiong led 10,000 troops, with Li Chong's son Li Ting as the vanguard, to conquer Suzhou.

In the past few months, Yizhou, Xizhou in the north and Guazhou in the east have been captured. Suzhou is to the east of Guazhou. As the base camp here, Shazhou must not make any mistakes. Therefore, the old and young people

No general dared to make the slightest mistake.

At this time, Youtong, a man from Wuning, was fifty-four years old, and Anzhi, the adopted daughter of Huang Yi, the overlord whip, was forty-seven years old. Huang Zhao, the former major general, was also forty-one years old, and his son Huang Fu was twenty-three years old. In Wuzhou

In the army, people call the generals of the Huang family the generals of the Huang family.

After Zhang Xiong occupied Shazhou in the first month, Basang, who escaped, vowed to avenge his father Zhandui, regain the throne of Shazhou Jiedushi, and continue to exploit the people of Shazhou through slavery.

The people of Shazhou had long hated the slavery system of the Tubo people, which is why the Tang people rose up in arms. It was not just Shazhou, but also the 17 states that had fallen in the eighteen states of Longyou. Which Tang people were not waiting for the Tang court to conquer them?

Moment.

Therefore, wherever Zhang Xiong's soldiers went, as soon as they contacted the sworn brothers from various states, a large number of Tang people responded, and some even went to battle with their whole families. Although the people's support was such a good situation, none of the Tubo generals were willing to give up.

On the territory, every battle is extremely brutal.

When Basang fled from Shazhou, more than 200 Tibetan soldiers followed him. They returned to Tubo and found Tashi Duoji, the leader of the branch, and begged for the restoration of Shazhou rule. Tashi also contacted several close people

The tribe gathered four thousand soldiers and named themselves the Governor of Shazhou, vowing to take back Shazhou.

After recruiting and training troops for a little more than half a year, they reached the south gate of Shazhou.

At the south gate of Shazhou, the first formation was led by Zhe Chong Huang Zhao. The Overlord double whip was superb. He fought with Basang for more than thirty times. He wrapped his neck around him and shook the Overlord whip, causing Basang to fly into the air. The magic fist hero behind him was especially

Tong flew over, waved his Mo sword, and Basang's head fell to the ground.

Basang, who was shouting for revenge, died as soon as he came up. He was so angry that Tashi Duoji screamed. A general flew out from behind him and was killed by You Tong in the second formation with his ink sword.

Two more generals flew out in succession, and Anzhi, who was beaten into the third formation, fought with the Overlord Whip, and captured one alive, while the other fled. Tashi Duoji hurriedly paid the money and retreated his troops, retreated 20 miles to the south, set up camp, and discussed countermeasures.

Tashi Duoji's military advisor was Qiong Da, who was in his fifties and had many ideas. After analyzing the military situation of Shazhou and the astronomical geography around Shazhou, he came up with a plan to flood Shazhou City and capture Li Chong alive.
