"Whoa." Silent vomiting and saluting again.

Li Zheng picked up the Western Turkic parchment roll again.

Look at the number of directories on this is much more than last time,

"Well done, the price is higher than last time." Li Zheng looked at the list on the parchment roll, 300 Damo knives, 1,000 bows and crossbows, 6,000 arrows, and 5,000 stones of millet rice.

Li Zheng carefully calculated, a total of 230,000.

"Can the Western Turks get so much money?" Li Zheng asked suspiciously.

Mo nodded silently, "They have a lot of gold. ”

Li Zheng grinned, "That's a big customer, I'll send another thousand stones of millet to make them happy." ”

Mo said with a wry smile: "In fact, the Tibetans have stepped up their offensive, and the Western Turks have lost several territories, and they want to take them back." ”

Shaking the goose feather fan in his hand, Li Zheng said to Dahu: "Bring me the map in my house." ”

Dahu brought the map and spread it out in front of Li Zheng.

"Tell me about the current war between Tibet and the Western Turks?"

Mo Yan cautiously stepped forward and pointed to three places and said: "Now the Songtsen Gampo soldiers are divided into three routes, planning to take Xizhou all the way. ”

Li Zheng looked at the situation on the map, part of the three-way army of the Songtsam cadres was west of the Qilian Mountains, relatively close to the Hexi Corridor, all the way gathered on the border line of the Western Turks, and the other was in the rear.

Li Zheng pointed to the rear and said, "Songtsen Gampo is in this army. ”

He bowed silently and said, "That's right, Songtsen Gampo personally led the troops, and the front army was led by Lu Dongzan. ”

"Songtsen Gampo's eyes are very vicious." Li Zheng looked at the situation on the map, "This Songtsen Gampo seems to be fighting the Western Turks, and his mind is still in the Central Plains." ”

glanced at Li Zheng in silence.

Dahu whispered: "General, now that Tubo is fighting in the Central Plains, there should be no threat to us." ”

Li Zheng took a deep breath, Dahu didn't know the importance of Xizhou, so naturally he didn't know the importance of the Silk Road.

After the fall of the former Sui, the Silk Road was broken, Li Shimin had just ascended the throne, and the Tang Dynasty was in the stage of cultivation and recuperation.

Li Shimin would not have been unaware of the importance of the Silk Road.

Once Songtsen Gampo took Xizhou, it was equivalent to cutting off the Silk Road, and once he took it, the Tang Dynasty wanted to restore the Silk Road, and he had to look at Songtsen Gampo's eyes.

Li Zheng stared at the location of Xizhou on the map, "Once Songtsen Gampo takes Xizhou, he will definitely send heavy troops to defend it." ”

Mo vomited a little and couldn't understand Li Zheng's words, "The villain heard that Songtsen Gampo's army was plundering everywhere in the Western Turks. ”

Li Zheng said to the silent response: "You Turks are simple-minded, and when you fight, you only know plunder, and you don't know the importance of geographical location, so you should learn more from Songtsen Gampo." ”

Mo vomited and hurriedly said: "The county marquis taught a lesson. ”

Li Zheng said to the silent response: "This time the Western Turks will definitely win and win a big victory, and it is best to beat Songtsen Gampo to a painful beat." ”

Listened to Li Zheng's words silently.

"Lao Mo waited for you to return to the Western Turks and told them that they would not have to take into account the army arranged by Songtsen Gampo in the Gobi in the Qilian Mountains, and then make a feint attack on Lu Dongzan's frontal army, so that the Western Turks would send a large army to attack quickly and occupy the middle section between Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan, so that they would completely lose contact."

"And let out a message to tell Songtsen Gampuxi that the Turkic army has taken Ludongzan."

Silently listening, Li Zheng was also a little surprised to give advice to the Western Turks.

Li Zheng continued: "You write down these words with pen and ink. ”

"Whoa!" Mo vomited and hurriedly took the pen and ink handed by the big tiger and wrote down these words.

After he finished writing, Li Zheng lowered his voice and said: "You have to remember, once you win the battle, you have to let the Western Turks continue to attack Tubo, and it is best to enter the territory of Tubo, I don't care how you get in the way, or kill a few people, this battle can't just stop." ”

"Tell the people of the Western Turks that they will return the Tibetan army tenfold and arch the fire for me."

Mo nodded repeatedly, "The villain remembers, the people of the Western Turks are relatively stupid and listen to good talk." ”

First, the Western Turks and Tibetans consumed each other's national strength, and second, Li was forced to send Songtsen Gampo to buy grain and weapons from the Central Plains.

Li Zheng's move was very vicious, and if he could leave Li Zheng's control in the future, he would have to flee far away.

Mo vomited and didn't dare to think about Li Zheng's purpose, maybe in the near future, Tubo and the Western Turks would be the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Mo Ge, who has been to the Western Turks, knows what the Western Turks have become poor now, and the Tang Dynasty is too rich in comparison.

Li Zheng continued: "I did this business, let's still pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the same hand, and someone will pull the goods through Chang'an early tomorrow morning, just follow along." ”

"Whoa!" He bowed silently and then retired.

When he left, Dahu looked at the map and said, "General, why don't you worry about the army of Qilian Mountain." ”

Li Zheng looked back at the map and said, "What do you think of Songtsen Gampo's three-way play?" ”

Dahu looked left and right, "It's very solid and echoes each other, but once the Western Turkic army goes to intercept the rear of Lu Dongzan, it will definitely fall into a three-way counteroffensive, and the army of Qilian Mountain can attack the Western Turks head-on, and the Western Turks will be defeated." ”

Li Zheng nodded, "That's right, as long as the Tubo army in Qilian Mountain is still there, this counter-encirclement is a stupid move, but what if this army suddenly disappears?" ”

Dahu looked at the map and said, "The distance between Nalu Dongzan and Songtsen Gampo is their fatal weakness. ”

Li Zheng nodded and wrote a letter and said: "You give this letter to General Li Jida, and ask him to present it to Your Majesty, I think Your Majesty is also very interested in this place in Xizhou." ”

"Whoa." Dahu took the letter and nodded.

Li Zheng handed over the parchment roll in his hand to Dahu again, "Let General Li Ji ship according to the requirements of the Western Turks, this business is not worth more than 200,000 yuan, and there will be a business with a higher value than this in the future." ”

"That's going to be arranged."

The big tiger took the parchment, turned over and left in a hurry.

That night, Li Shimin met Li Ji.

After reading the letter handed by Li Ji, Li Shimin stood in the Ganlu Hall and looked at the west along the current Tang Dynasty territory.

The eyes fell on the place of Xizhou, which is the richest continent in the Western Regions, and it is also the richest place in the Western Regions, and it is also an important link between the Central Plains and the West.

Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it has been an important town in the Western Regions, and Li Shimin's eyes fell on Gaochang, which was not far from Xizhou, and Xizhou was the boundary of Gaochang in the past.

Li Shimin looked at the map with his back to Li Ji and said: "Songtsan Gampo's eyes are vicious, and Li Zheng's eyes are also very vicious." ”

Li Ji was silent, waiting for Li Shimin's reply whether to send Wei Chigong to send troops to destroy the army west of Qilian Mountain arranged by Songtsen Gampo.
