"What's so strange, the Tubo army has an absolute advantage, and the military deployment is naturally extremely calm, and you can fight as you want."

Li Xun felt that there was nothing strange about it, Tubo had 100,000 people in the early stage, plus the subsequent 100,000, a total of 200,000 troops, and the entire Longyou North Road, there were only more than 40,000 soldiers, and they had to defend three cities, the strength of the two sides was five to one, and the military strength was very different.

"That's not what I mean."

Fan Zhongyun shook his head and was about to speak, but Sima Tu's voice came: "Brother Qin Yue means that Tubo may have other actions?" ”

Everyone left, but Li Xun and Fan Zhongyun sat there firmly, and the two of them had something else to say, so Sima Tu walked halfway and turned back again.

Only then did Li Xun understand the meaning of Fan Zhongyun's words.

"Old Fan, tell me what you think."

Sima Tu came to Fan Zhongyun and sat down, Fan Zhongyun looked at him: "Brother Ziwen, why don't you say it first, maybe the two of us will want to go together." ”

"Haha, Brother Qin Yue, let's just say it, I'm not as much as you think, so detailed."

Sima Tu is not good at military affairs, but he is good at seeing through people's hearts and human nature, and the maneuvers and battles between people are far stronger than Fan Zhongyun.

Fan Zhongyun nodded and said: "Although Tubo has an absolute advantage in strength, if it can't break through the state city in a short period of time and cut off the passage between Anbei and Longyou, once the Anbei army arrives, even if Tubo still occupies the advantage in strength, but if you want to win the war, I'm afraid it will become a dream, now the situation in Longyou is endangered, the Momeng Hu people have made it clear that they will not participate, Anbei has no worries, and will definitely send reinforcements to come, this truth, we know, don't Tubo know?" ”

Listening to the words of the two, Li Xun fell into contemplation, Fan Zhongyun was right, the entire Longyou Road, to say that the most important place in terms of geographical location, is the state, he is an important passage connecting the Central Plains to Longyou, and it is also the only way for Anbei to enter the Central Plains.

Li Xun thought a lot, and finally said: "Tubo has invaded Longyou over the years, we defend the city, and they attack the city, isn't it all like this?" ”

Fan Zhongyun smiled and said: "Li Xun, war is the continuation of politics, there is politics first, there will be war, since Wuzong, nearly a hundred years, Tubo took the initiative to invade Longyou no less than 20 times, Pingzong in his later years, Hebei was defeated, Longyou was empty, Tubo once laid down the three states of Longyou North Road, at that time, Momeng intended to unite, and took the land of Liangzhou and Anbei, but in the end it was rejected by Tubo, and Tubo then withdrew and returned...."

Speaking of this, Li Xun interjected: "I don't understand, why did Tubo break the city that was finally defeated? ”

Fan Zhongyun said: "As I just said, war is a continuation of politics, what is the political strategy of Tibet? That is, they know that throughout thousands of years of history, no matter how far the Central Plains Dynasty has declined, with the strength of Tubo, it can only take advantage of a moment, and there is no possibility of laying down the Central Plains and unifying the world, so Tubo's political policy for our Great Jin Dynasty has always been to fight if they can, and seek peace if they can't, and extort money and materials through war, and establish their own prestige and authority through war. ”

Li Xun nodded, somewhat understood, Tubo Zanpu, once succeeded to the throne, many times, the first thing is to launch a war with the outside world, unify the military power, and establish prestige, this is their greatest ambition, from this point, it is not difficult to imagine that they have no mind at all, to fight Longyou, and then attack the Central Plains, they do not have this ambition, because they know that once they really defeat Longyou, themselves and the Great Jin, then it is really your life and death, fight a dozen, loot, and achieve a certain political goal, it's okay.

Sima Tu said at this time: "Lord, war is the continuation of politics, but also people-oriented, what kind of politics, what kind of war, after all, it still depends on what kind of person is in power, Gewa this person, first killed his uncle, and then betrayed the Tubo Zampu who had the grace of knowing him, and took the opportunity to grasp the power, from this point of view, this person can be described as despicable and abnormal, with no manners, etiquette, honesty, and shame in his heart, he is a complete villain, such a character, for the sake of interests and rights, can do whatever it takes, and suffer losses. I'm afraid it won't be easy to do, Gewa has worked hard to start this large-scale war, it can't be like before, just for show, his ambition is definitely not small. ”

Li Xun's eyes narrowed, leaning back in the chair, through the speculation of the two, the current domestic political situation in Tubo, as well as the character of Gewa, Gewa must have great ambitions to start this war, but the strange thing is that Gewa seems to have continued the political war strategy of Tubo, which is unreasonable.

After pondering for a while, Li Xun sat up straight, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how much we think here, it is useless, only when we go to the front line and go to the battlefield in person can we find a solution, in this way, let Zheng Chun continue to recruit young people, the more the better, in case of contingency, the gathering of grain and grass materials, don't wait, we will go to Xiaogu County first, and we will set off tomorrow, in terms of grain and grass materials, just get it and send it as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Chun was left behind by Li Xun this time and ordered him to stay in Wuzhou, commanding more than 12,000 soldiers to guard the Wuzhou base camp.

After listening to the words of Fan Zhongyun and Sima Tu, Li Xun was also a little unable to sit still, according to what they said, Gewa will make a big move, the enemy is dark and I am clear, if the plan is successful, Liu Zhigu's side.... It's really dangerous, once the state is breached, the entire Longyou West Road, is completely isolated, at that time, Tubo can be divided into two roads, all the way 100,000 troops stationed in the state, all the way 100,000 troops, is to attack Longyou West Road, compared to Longyou North Road, the entire Longyou West Seven states, except for Wuzhou in the hands of Li Xun has a big transformation, the city wall is thick, the rest of the six states and counties, the city defense foundation, etc., is very poor, very poor.

Finally, Fan Zhongyun mentioned one thing: "The alliance of the 36 countries of the Western Regions and the Dashi Empire have been in a stalemate for almost a year, and the countries of the Western Regions have been in trouble, and some don't know, some time ago, Zhan Bai, the prince of Anshu, sent a messenger who was willing to buy weapons and other military materials at a large price, and you were not there at that time, I didn't dare to make a rash decision, so I didn't agree, I didn't refuse, and it was temporarily delayed." ”

"Sell, send someone to send a message to them, prepare enough money, weapons, and we will sell them as much as they want."

The battle situation in Longyou is in full swing, and the war situation in the Western Regions has been in a stalemate, that is the best thing, Li Xun doesn't care if there is an alliance between Dajin and Dashi, it's all at this time, who cares so much? If the countries of the Western Regions were really wiped out by Dashi, and Wuzhou was empty, this fat meat, Li Xun didn't believe that the Dashi Empire would not bite it down, in the face of interests, what alliances, what friendships, it would be all bullshit, worthless.

Fan Zhongyun nodded, he also had this idea.
