Chapter 611: The Final Battle!

Chapter six hundred and eleventh

The news on the plateau came much faster than expected.

"President, the quartermaster has sent news that our beef and mutton have all been exhausted."

In the camp, when Daqin Ruozan was thinking hard in front of the sand table, suddenly, a Uzang general broke in, and as soon as he appeared, he knelt down on one knee and said.

"What's going on? Do you want to report this kind of trivial matter to me?"

Daqin Ruozan turned his head and frowned slightly, looking a little displeased.

"Wouldn't the Tie'a tribe in the back bring it up when the food runs out?"

"Returning to Prime Minister, people from the Tie'a tribe have not come here to drive cattle and sheep for more than half a month."

"oh?"

Daqin Ruozan finally turned his whole body around, and said with some doubts.

"What about the Roseli tribe?"

The logistics of U-Tsang has never been handed over to only one tribe. There are at least 20 to 30 tribes at the same time, and even hundreds of tribes provide food for the army during wars.

"People from the Roseli tribe haven't shown up for more than ten days."

"What about Dhaka, Lalan, and Feizi?"

Daqin Ruozan reported the names of several tribes one after another.

"They also lost contact eight or nine days ago."

Daqin Ruozan frowned, feeling something was wrong in his heart. This is not the first time that there has been a war between Uzang and Datang, and there has never been such a logistical problem.

Every tribe in U-Tsang should understand what military supplies and food mean to the army. It is the obligation of every tribe to provide food to the army on time, so U-Tsang will never experience food shortages or supply shortages like Datang .

It's strange for a tribe not to provide food for the army on time, and there must be something wrong for so many tribes not keeping up.

"Send someone to the rear to see what's wrong?"

Daqin Ruozan's eyebrows were beating, and a very bad feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Report!"

Daqin Ruozan didn't wait for a long time. After half an hour, a herald rushed into the tent in a panic.

"Great Minister, I just received news from the plateau that a Tang army rushed to the plateau to kill and spread the plague. Now the tribes on the plateau have suffered heavy casualties, including countless cattle and sheep!"

The herald knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and he didn't even dare to look at Daqin Ruozan. Big beads of sweat kept oozing from his forehead, dripping down.

"What?!!"

Daqin Ruozan was shaken all over, he grabbed the herald violently and shook him violently.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could such a thing happen?"

"President, it's true! A member of the Yager tribe escaped from the plateau. I have confirmed it with him again and again. It is undeniable!"

The herald knelt on the ground, his face pale, but his voice was extremely firm, and every word was extremely clear.

"Those people entered the plateau more than half a month ago, and they sent people to block the passage down the plateau. There was no news at all. All the tribesmen who wanted to pass the news died on the mountain road. , He managed to escape with great difficulty."

"More than half a month ago?"

Daqin Ruozan's heart sank, wasn't it when Wang Yan and the Annan Protectorate led by Xianyu Zhongtong were still trapped in the Lion City?

Wang Chong! !

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and Daqin Ruozan subconsciously remembered the young figure on the top of the opposite mountain. If both Wang Yan and Xianyu Zhongtong were trapped in Lion City, then the only one who could do all this would be Wang Chong.

Daqin Ruozan's heart suddenly became cold.

"He took advantage of the loophole!"

More than half a month ago, Daqin Ruozan only had Lion City and the Annan Protectorate Army in his heart, and the tens of thousands of reinforcements led by Li Zhengji in the north had also been defeated by the army led by Huoshu Guizang.

On the way to the south, there were even more Uzang iron cavalry guarding at various levels. Daqin Ruozan never expected that Wang Chong would cut through Uzang's defense line at this time, and even sent an army to kill Uzang. plateau.

"Whoever laughs last laughs best!"

Daqin Ruozan was cold all over, and only the last words of Wang Chong remained in his mind.

Then more and more details were unearthed, and Daqin Ruozan's face became paler and uglier. The situation on the plateau was much more serious and terrifying than he had imagined.

"Sheep plague", Daqin Ruozan never thought that Wang Chong would use this method to deal with himself, not against people, but against cattle and sheep on the plateau.

No one on the entire plateau would die from this kind of sheep plague, but Daqin Ruozan preferred that Wang Chong dealt with his own army.

People on the plateau cannot do without beef and mutton for three meals a day, even highland barley is eaten with beef and mutton. Moreover, unlike the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth, the cattle and sheep in Uzang are raised in large herds together, and each tribe raises hundreds of thousands or even millions of head.

Once a plague breaks out, it is a terrible and unimaginable disaster.

"Prince! Prime Minister!..."

A voice came from near and far away, Daqin Ruozan shook his head, suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, the herald was still kneeling on the ground, motionless and maintaining the previous movement.

"Understood, you go down."

"Come here! Inform the Monarch Meng Shezhao, and tell me that I have something to ask for."

At this moment, Daqin Ruozan could only think of Meng Shezhao and Ge Luofeng. Meng Shezhao is in the same line as Tang Dynasty, if someone can solve the crisis on the plateau, Daqin Ruozan can only think of Geluofeng.

...

"What?! Plague?"

The bonfire in Meng Shezhao's big camp was blazing, and the torches illuminated the people in the camp clearly. After hearing Daqin Ruozan's intention of coming, Ge Luofeng's eyes were full of shock.

Even a hero like Ge Luofeng would never have imagined that such a thing would happen on the Uzang Plateau. Someone would actually think of attacking the hinterland of Uzang, and invade the plateau at this time!

This news is like a slap in the face of everyone.

Wang Chong's way of using troops is unconstrained and miraculous, and has surpassed everyone's imagination.

"Prime Minister, I understand what you mean, and I will try my best to help you as an ally no matter what, but our Mengshezhao people mainly eat rice and pork, and there are few cattle and sheep, so plagues are less likely to occur. gone."

"So when I first learned medical skills from the Tang Dynasty, this kind of partial prescription for sheep plague was not on the list of learning. Not only that, all these partial medical prescriptions were not on the list of learning."

Ge Luofeng spoke as tactfully as possible. In fact, Ge Luofeng was sure that even in Datang, finding a veterinarian who could cure sheep plague was definitely not an easy task.

This kind of sheep plague is really rare in farming peoples.

"Understood, then Daqin Ruozan thanked His Majesty in advance."

Daqin Ruo praised.

"Your Majesty, it's bad! People from Uzang are fighting with our people!"

While the two were talking, a messenger from Meng Shezhao suddenly rushed in, swiping, everyone's eyes turned to him in an instant.

The food shortage in Uzbek finally caused problems. The fierce and aggressive Uzbek Tibetans, stimulated by hunger, naturally turned their attention to the Mengshezhao people who were also allies.

Due to the language barrier, the two sides quickly broke out in a fight. After Ge Luofeng and Daqin Ruozan arrived, the commotion was quickly quelled, but everyone knew that this was just the beginning.

...

"My lord, they really had a fight!"

On the top of the high mountain, a long flagpole danced in the wind. Under the flagpole, the eagle and Wang Chong stood together, looking down the mountain.

Eagle's face was full of joy, while Wang Chong was silent.

"My lord, it seems that Li Siye's strategy has really worked."

Eagle looked at Wang Chong beside him and said.

Eagle knew everything about Li Siye. Wang Chong had said earlier that if there was a fight between Uzang and Meng Shezhao, it would mean that there must be a food shortage for Uzang.

In other words, Li Siye's actions in their rear were completely successful.

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded, his black hair on the temples danced non-stop in the night wind. In the dark night, they have been standing here for a long time. Looking from the top of the mountain, they have seen at least seventeen fights in the light of the fire. Wang Chong would never believe that nothing happened at Wusizang and Mengshezhao. .

"War is cruel, now it's up to Daqin Ruozan to decide."

The Annan Protectorate Army has been driven to a desperate situation because of the water source problem. The morale of the current army is dropping every moment. Wang Chong can clearly feel this change.

But now, there is not enough supply of cattle and sheep, and Uzang is in short supply of food, and has fallen into the same situation as the Annan Protectorate Army.

Now that no one has an advantage, it depends on who can last longer.

"My lord, do Tibetans in Uzbekistan really don't eat rice? If it's just food, with the wealth of Meng Shezhao, it can definitely provide a lot of food."

Eagle suddenly thought of something and frowned.

"Oh, it's impossible."

Wang Chong smiled.

"The eating habits of Tibetans in Uzbekistan are not so easy to change. For example, now you are asked to eat only meat and no rice for three meals a day. Can you get used to it? And unlike us, Tibetans in Uzbekistan have no habit of growing rice at all. , in other words, they've never had it before."

"But, isn't there pork in Meng Shezhao? If it's just meat, can't pork be substituted?"

Eagle hesitated for a moment.

"With so many people hidden in Wusi, and three meals a day, how many pigs do you think Meng Shezhao raised? It's just a drop in the bucket!"

Wang Chong said calmly.

The eagle was startled, speechless for a while.

good!

Pigs are different from cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep can graze freely in the wild in groups, but no one raises pigs to do so. Therefore, the number of pigs will always be far less than that of cattle and sheep.

With the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, it is rare for ordinary people to eat a few meals of pork in a month, let alone Mengshezhao.

Mengshezhao's habits and quantity of pigs in captivity are far inferior to that of Tang Dynasty. Even if Mengshezhao can barely supply Mengshezhao, how much can it supply? How long is the supply?

Can Uzbek Tibetans who are used to beef and mutton really get used to pork?
