Chapter 315

Chengzhou was an important city in the southwest of the Tang Empire, and it was also the border between the Tang Empire and Tubo.

With Princess Wencheng married into Tubo, the relationship between the Tang Empire and Tubo was very friendly. There was no war between the two countries for decades.

Princess Wencheng's entry into Tubo, like Wang Zhaojun's departure from the fortress in the Han Dynasty, stabilized the situation for the Central Plains Dynasty and won the praise of the world.

Songzanganbu, the husband of Princess Wencheng, also sent envoys to the Tang Empire for many times, established a friendly relationship with the Tang Empire, and even presented a lot of treasures.

At that time, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also rewarded Tubo with many gifts, even a lot of crops, so that Tubo could grow highland barley, wheat and buckwheat.

Even Songzanganbu was granted the title of Xihai Prefecture by Emperor Taizong to show the friendship between the two countries.

The relationship between the two countries has always been very good, but with the death of Songzanganbu, mangsongmangzan (that is, Songzanganbu's grandson) ascended the throne, gradually the relationship between the two countries is not as close as before.

Five days ago, a big event happened in luoxie City, that is, mangsong mangzan, the king of Tubo, decided to send troops to attack the Tang Empire.

Although some people stopped them at that time, they were all civil servants, and the generals all agreed. After all, for them, if they want to go further, they have to prove themselves by their military achievements. It is the best choice to go to the Tang Empire.

Then mangsong and mangzan appointed his brother Prince Mangdong as the commander of the army, commanding 100000 troops to the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Thirty thousand troops were in the vanguard, heading for Chengzhou on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Today they are at the foot of Chengzhou city.

The situation in Chengzhou suddenly became uneasy. Fortunately, since Mei Changsu became governor of Xizhou, he attached great importance to the defense of the West. As an excellent commander, he must always be ready for war.

"Enemy attack

Immediately everyone realized that Tubo had betrayed the treaty, and that they should openly attack the Tang Empire. It's unbearable.

At once, Chengzhou garrison general mobilized all the garrison to the Ximen city wall. At the same time, he sent people to report to meichangshu, the general of Hanzhong. At once, he sent his postmen to send 600 Li urgent Tang newspaper to Chang'an.

Wang Tong, the general of Chengzhou, was confident that he could lead 5000 garrisons to the arrival of the general. Once the general Mei Changsu led the main force of Xizhou to arrive, it would be impossible for the Tubo state to conquer Chengzhou.

"Ha ha ha ha The people in the city listen and immediately open the city to surrender. Otherwise, on the day of destroying the city, our general will slaughter the whole city. "

"Tubo forward general Dafei roared.

"Dream! We, the Tang army, have only soldiers who died in battle, not soldiers who surrendered! "

"But you dare to tear up the treaty and openly attack the city of the Tang Empire. Aren't you afraid of bringing you disaster?"

Wang Tong, the general of Chengzhou, said in a fierce voice.

"Ha ha ha! In that case, don't blame general Ben for being impolite. "

Dafei, the pioneer General of Tubo, said angrily.

As a powerful general in Tubo, Dafei has a great reputation in Tubo, and is even known as the most powerful general.

This time, he followed Prince mang Dong zanbu to fight against the Tang Empire, and also won the title of vanguard general.

Other vanguard officials have only 10000 troops at most, but he has 30000. This is the difference between him and others.

"Herald, attack the city in two hours!"

Duffy immediately ordered.

Dafei knows that we can't rush to attack the city now. After all, the army has just arrived and needs to be adjusted.

Just now, I didn't want to make the atmosphere in the city tense, but now it seems that it's impossible for me to surprise.

Dafei didn't expect that the other side was so strict. There were scouts patrolling the border all the time and found the trace of the army.

Otherwise, if you attack Chengzhou city by yourself, there is a great possibility that you will be able to capture Chengzhou city directly. In this way, you will definitely make a great contribution.

Wang Tong on the wall was relieved to see that the enemy did not attack the city.

The enemy will not have to repair, but they will also need to mobilize their own materials.

Wang Tong immediately sent a message to the sheriff's office, asking the sheriff to cooperate with him in guarding the city. After all, the sheriff was better than himself in mobilizing the people.

Immediately Chengzhou city was quickly prepared. Under the command of Wang Tong and the sheriff, everything was in order. Almost all the young and middle-aged people in the city voluntarily listened to the government's mobilization and helped the government to deliver the materials for guarding the city.

However, the atmosphere in the city has changed and become somewhat depressed. After all, Chengzhou city has not experienced war for decades, and even people have forgotten the war, but today the war is coming again.

They must keep Chengzhou city. ..
