The Tubo people felt that the Tang army was seeking death when they came to attack them. This was always the case in previous wars. Anyone who attacked them would have a bad end result. Basically no one could last long.
In addition to low oxygen content, which prevents strenuous exercise, there is also altitude sickness, which is the most fatal. Most people who suffer from altitude sickness will not be able to last long if they are not treated in time.
This is the Tang Dynasty. If you get altitude sickness, you will definitely die.
The herbal medicine Luo Zhang gave everyone to drink was aimed at altitude sickness. As for the low oxygen content and the inability to exercise strenuously, Luo Zhang had no good solution. He could only take it one step at a time.
When Songtsen Gampo learned that the Tang army was invading, his mood was so beautiful.
If the Tang army didn't come, these high priests and big tycoons wouldn't look good on him.
But now, everyone still has to rely on him. After all, he is the largest family in the entire Tubo and has the most people. Of course, this is based on a single family. If compared with the entire Tubo, Songtsen Gampo is not enough. .
After learning of Luo Zhang's arrival, the entire Tubo began to unite their troops again, preparing to give Luo Zhang a head-on attack.
Songtsen Gampo discussed with everyone that this Tang army must be the one guarding Yumen Pass. He was afraid that Lu Dongtsen's entire army had been wiped out and Tubo was empty, so he wanted to take advantage.
If they can destroy this Tang army, they can also lead the army to seize Yumen Pass.
What Lu Dongzan said before was correct. As long as they can capture Yumen Pass, then the Guanzhong within the Datang Pass will be fertile ground for them. They can take whatever they want. If they want to attack the Tang Dynasty, they can attack the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty. By then, Then Tubo became prosperous.
As long as Tubo became rich for a period of time, it would be able to annex the entire Tang Dynasty.
No longer need to stay in the cold land of Tubo, but can occupy the fertile soil of the Central Plains and develop and grow.
Luo Zhang's army was not marching very fast, not because Luo Zhang didn't want to move fast, but because Luo Zhang did so deliberately because he wanted his soldiers to gradually adapt to the plateau climate and the lack of oxygen.
People who first come here will definitely not get used to it, and this requires a process.
He rushes to attack Tubo. If he cannot adapt to the plateau climate, something will happen to his 100,000-strong army.
These are two completely different effects from taking a plane to Tubo and taking a train to Tubo. When going to Tubo by plane, many people have to take oxygen as soon as they get off the plane, but many people don't have such troubles when going to Tubo by train.
Why?
Because people who take the train gradually adapt to it, after arriving in Tubo and fully adapting to the plateau climate, they rarely have difficulty breathing.
Just when Luo Zhang launched an attack on Tibet, the army led by Li Jing was invincible on the land of the Eastern Turks. The remaining troops of the Western Turks could not stop Li Jing's pace at all, and the people he killed fell on their backs.
Only then did the military god's reputation emerge.
With no worries anymore, Li Jing commanded the army, which always made the enemy cry without tears.
The people and horses were so elusive that they had no idea when they would arrive, just like divine soldiers descending from heaven.
In the Western Turks, King Zuo Xian was immediately captured after abandoning his army and fleeing back to the royal city of the Western Turks.
King Zuo Xian also knew that he would end up like this and did not resist.
He was taken directly to the palace hall. At this time, the place was already full of people, all of them were ministers of the Western Turks and the royal family.
After seeing King Zuo Xian being escorted into the main hall, some were gloating, some were sighing, and some were sneering. In short, everyone had different moods and expressions.
King Zuo Xian didn't care at all about this. All he cared about was Khan's attitude towards him. As long as Khan didn't kill him, he couldn't die.
"King Zuoxian, my brother, even a small city like Dingxiang made you come back defeated. You have disappointed me so much!" The Western Turk Khan shook his head and sighed.
"Khan, Dingxiang City is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. The Eastern Turks have not captured it for so many years. It is normal that I did not capture it!" King Zuo Xian defended himself.
"But you brought hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if you push, you can push the city. But you lost. Hundreds of thousands of troops went out, and only 10,000 came back. Where are the others?" Khan When he said this, his face became a little ugly.
You know, those 300,000 Western Turkic troops and horses were all his elites, and they disappeared without any reason. Even if he wanted to protect his brother, he couldn't. The crime he committed this time was really too great. .
King Zuo Xian didn't know what was about to destroy him. He was still talking in the hall, looking for reasons for his failure. In fact, his conclusion had been made long before he came back. This is why after he entered the hall, everyone The expressions are different, but in the final analysis, there is only one meaning!
