A month later, 350,000 Kwansai troops gathered in Qingluoyuan, and the largest batch of grain and grass supplied by the imperial court arrived in time. The scouts sent by Qin Mubai to the southwest battlefield to contact Wei Chi Jingde also reported the news, saying that Wei Chi Jingde had led 50,000 elite infantry soldiers of Jiannan to cross Jinchuan and Jinsha in accordance with the combat instructions issued by Qin Mubai.

Upon hearing this news, Li Daliang questioned Qin Mubai's combat orders. This veteran general of the battlefield, who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than half his life, said that now that our army has taken the initiative to attack and fight across the border and in other places, it is necessary to concentrate its forces to move forward in a restless manner, strengthen its prestige, and fight a decisive battle with regular troops. Wei Chi Jingde's department is only 50,000 people, and he attacked Motuo alone, not to mention the difficult roads along the way, not to mention the difficulty of supply, he will definitely suffer from the repeated robberies and killings of the Tubo tribes, plus the enemy is dark and I am clear, and the time and place are all in the other party, Yu Chi Jingde's department estimates that it is difficult to make achievements, and there are many auspicious and unlucky.

Li Daliang, who is experienced and has a high reputation, raised such a question, and Qin Mubai naturally could not ignore it. So he convened a military council to discuss the issue.

Qin Mubai expressed his thoughts and position, and said to the generals: "In terms of troops, our army currently has a total of 400,000, and the number of soldiers that can fight after the repeated losses of the Tubo soldiers and horses is almost this number. But they are facing the danger of annihilating the country and the nation, and they will definitely be soldiers of the whole people. In other words, in terms of strength, they are still far superior to me. Moreover, our army is fighting from afar, and the other army is waiting for work; Our army is not familiar with geography and does not accept water and soil, and the other army sticks to the homeland and hates the enemy. Therefore, although we are the attackers, we are at a disadvantage in terms of time, place and people - in such a situation, it is not conducive to the decisive battle of the main army! ”

When the generals heard this, they all nodded in approval, and Li Daliang also agreed, saying: "When it comes to the use of soldiers, there are few people who surpass the pharmacist in ancient times. And the core and essence of the pharmacist's use of soldiers is the word 'Qizheng'. As a pharmacist's proud protégé, the young marshal really has a true heritage. This explanation was very transparent, and the old man had to obey it. Having said that, since the young marshal has decided to start the war with the 'Strange Tactics of Warfare', I don't know how to arrange it? The big war is coming, and it's time to deploy specific tactics! ”

"My idea is - the soldiers are divided into seven ways, cut and attack!" Qin Mubai said.

"Seven-way?" The generals asked together.

"All the way, it is the department of Wei Chi Jingde, starting from Sichuan and Shu to send troops to Motuo and take the capital. Even if you can't take it, you must disperse the forces of the Garqin Mausoleum, achieve the purpose of besieging the city and sending reinforcements in Metuo, and support the main force! ”

"The second way, along the route of Hou Junji's march, take Kunlun, Golmud, occupy the source of the Yak River, cut off the connection between the Qiangtang area and the Luocheng city, and contain the soldiers and horses of the Qiangtang tribes, if you can occupy the territory in this area, it is better!"

"On the third route, we marched from Qingluoyuan to Doma and occupied the valleys of Zhaling Lake and Ngoling Lake. This is one of the most important agricultural and animal husbandry bases in Tibet, but at present, it is relatively close to most of the main force of our army, and the Tubo people have withdrawn ninety percent. After the soldiers and horses occupied this place, they were specially responsible for transporting grain and grass, transporting materials, and rescuing the wounded here, as the response and logistics supply of the remaining six soldiers and horses. In other words, the area around the two lakes will be the last stronghold of our army on the plateau! ”

"The fourth road is also the main vanguard road, out of Jishi Mountain, across the Yellow River Jiuqu, and to break through all the Tubo tribes stationed in the Duomi area! This road pioneer, every mountain to open the road and build a bridge in the water, paving the way for the main force in the rear - I have a candidate for the pioneer officer, so let Xue Rengui take the role, I don't know what everyone thinks? ”

The generals nodded in agreement, "The young marshal continued, how to arrange the remaining three soldiers and horses?" ”

"The remaining three soldiers and horses, in fact, are the three roads led by Ben Shuai himself, but they are divided into three strands to move forward, like a trident, following behind the vanguard all the way to the soldiers and horses, the main target of attack is Sun Bo!"

"Sun Bo?" Li Daliang sighed, "Isn't that the place where Hou Junji broke the bloody battle of Dongzan Yusong?" It is said that it was the last military barrier in front of the Tibetan royal city, and most of the Tibetan nobles, including the Gar tribe, were sealed here, with deep roots and strong soldiers and horses! ”

"Not bad!" Qin Mubai nodded and said, "This is the hereditary land of the three major tribes of Tubo, which is actually the three most important military town jurisdictions. My aim is to break through each one, scatter the wings of the Garqin Mausoleum and the periphery of the royal city one by one, and occupy them one by one. ”

"Why?" Li Daliang still had doubts and said, "The strength of the army, if it is combined, it will be many, and if it is divided, it will be few." Our army is fighting in different places, and the most taboo is to disperse the troops and be broken by the enemy army! Wouldn't it be more straightforward if we combined our forces to take the royal city of Luo directly? ”

"The Garchinling Mausoleum wishes that our whole army would be in one place and all of them would be killed in the city of Luoqi." Qin Mubai said, "Old general, think about it, when the Garqin Mausoleum invaded our eastern border, he scattered the soldiers and horses into countless units, which disturbed our peace and gave us a headache. However, if he always combines his forces as one, then it is possible that our army will find traces and gather and annihilate them! ——Striking the east and the west, casting the sky net, will make the Garqin Mausoleum take care of one and lose the other. Because the territories and garrisons of Motuo, Sunbo, Qiangtang, etc., are very important to Tibet, if the Garqinling sends troops to help, then his forces will be dispersed, and our main force can be mobile and flexible at any time, whether to continue to attack Sun Bo or take Luo directly; If he doesn't send troops to the rescue, then we will be able to advance step by step, break through these important strongholds one by one, tighten the great net that has been spread out one by one, and finally, form a ten-sided encirclement of the city! - At that time, won't you just catch a turtle in an urn? ”

"What a question!" Li Daliang laughed out loud and then praised, "No wonder Wei Gong himself said that among the three disciples under him, Hou Jun got his skin, Su Dingfang got his bones, and Qin Mubai got his marrow." Yes, this is indeed the essence of Qizheng's tactics - seven soldiers and horses, which way can be virtual, and which way can be real! Even if the Garqin Mausoleum has the ability to escape from heaven and earth, it will never be possible to defeat our seven-way soldiers and horses at the same time! As long as we win all the way, we have a chance to go straight to the point! ”

"Yes, that's the way I thought of it." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Our army's main attack, even if it loses six battles, as long as it succeeds in one blow, it will be a complete victory; The main defense of the Garqin Mausoleum, as long as the defense is not proper all the way, it is a complete loss. If we join forces and fight him head-on—that's a bet on winning or losing. This is certainly not a good deal for us. ”

"Haha! And so it was! All the generals suddenly realized and laughed loudly.

"However, Garchinling is a master soldier, and he will not sit idly by. For my seven-way attack method, he will definitely have a countermeasure. Qin Mubai said, "Lords, if you are the Garqin Mausoleum, what will happen in the face of such a situation?" ”

The generals fell into deep thought, and no one spoke for a long time.

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and asked Li Ke, "His Royal Highness King Wu, why don't you please express your opinion first?" ”

"Me?" Li Ke smiled, "Among all the people here, Xiao Wang's military level should be the lowest, why do you ask me?" ”

"Because the bystanders are clear!" Qin Mubai said, "Now we don't think about it from a military point of view, but from the standpoint of the country and the nation - if, I mean, if the enemy's seven lines of soldiers and horses come to Chang'an separately, how will Your Highness respond?" ”

Li Ke twisted his eyebrows and pondered, and after a while, he said: "The strong wall Qingye shrinks the defense, and fights to the death with the enemy in Chang'an!" ”

"That's right!" Qin Mubai cut the railway, "The strong wall clears the wilderness, first, it can reduce our own casualties, and secondly, it will create difficulties for our supplies; Shrink the defense and concentrate your forces to guard the core, so that the forces will not be scattered and eaten by others! ”

Li Daliang snorted, "It means that Garqinling may take the initiative to give up all its territory, and shrink back to Luo to fight me to the death?" ”

"Ninety percent of the time!" Qin Mubai said, "My soldiers are divided into seven routes, if he divides his troops to resist, he may not be able to block any of them." Since we are going to fight the Logos in the end, he will naturally concentrate all his forces on the Logos! ”

Li Daliang and the others were a little confused, "Then why are we still dividing the army into seven routes?" Isn't it enough to join forces and kill Luo in one place? ”

"Of course not." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If we join forces to kill the past, then it will be the Garqin Mausoleum who spreads the big net!" The art of war is real and false, and there is no certainty. If our army marches all the way to Luo, then it is possible to face enemies from the directions of Qiangtang, Sunbo, and Motuo. They will also be like these soldiers and horses I have sent, pinning down our army, or flanking attacks, or cutting off our army's supplies, or forming an encirclement of our army - that is, they must not give up the initiative to the Garqin Mausoleum! Once he is given the initiative, he, a veteran and flexible master, will cast a net for us at any time. Even if it is an army of 400,000, it is not enough for him to devour! ”

"Before the battle started, the young marshal had already fought with Garqinling!" Li Daliang said with a smile, "Strategizing to win a thousand miles, well, it's very good - I'm Datang, and I've added another handsome, haha!" ”

"Old general, don't be in a hurry to praise me!" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "The outcome of this battle is still inconclusive!" I have always believed that it is necessary to despise the opponent strategically and value the opponent tactically. In general, we must have the belief that we will win; But when it comes to the subtleties, we must always be careful and pay attention everywhere, and we can't tolerate half a point difference! - Seven soldiers and horses, led by generals at each point. Wei Chi Jingde has already gone all the way, I personally lead the way, and I will ask the old general, Li Junxian, Qin Tong, Xue Rengui, and Pang Fei to lead all the way, and Yuwen Hongtai will leave me to command the troops on standby! ”

"No!"

All the generals clenched their fists together and solemnly responded to their orders.

"The army is ready to go - conquer the plateau and take the !!"

"No!!"

A few days later, in the royal city of Logos.

The leaders of the Tibetan tribes, the generals of the various Rus, as well as the Zanpu Abandonment Sect and the Marshal Garqinling gathered together to discuss the strategy of dealing with the enemy.

"Qin Mubai actually disregarded the taboo of the soldiers, and the soldiers came to attack my royal city in seven ways!" The abandoned sect made a deep frown, and said, "Everyone, what is the best way to deal with the enemy? ”

"Since he dared to come by seven routes, the troops are scattered, let's wait for work at ease, and the troops are divided into seven ways to fight the enemy, how can we not win?" Someone shouted from the seat.

Suddenly, many people agreed.

"No!" Garqin Ling shouted loudly and suppressed the voices of everyone.

He saluted the abandoned sect and said, "Zampu, my brother thinks that since Qin Mubai is the commander of the army, he will definitely not commit the well-known taboo of the soldiers. His trick seems to be mediocre, but in fact it is ruthless! ”

"Oh, how do you say?"

"Seven soldiers and horses, virtual and real, real and virtual, people can't tell the difference." "If we divide our troops and horses into seven ways to meet the enemy, the royal city will be empty. If we lose all the way, the Tang Army will definitely take it directly, and by that time, we will lose everything! - There is no such thing as a war that must be won, and who can guarantee that we will be able to win all seven ways? ”

Everyone was stunned.

Garqinling Zhengse said: "Therefore, we must not divide our troops and reject it, then we will fall into Qin Mubai's treacherous scheme!" - Only now, you can only join forces to defend the royal city! No matter how Qin Mubai cheats, his ultimate goal is nothing more than to take down the royal city! ——We will stick to the royal city to respond to all changes, concentrate all our strength to recuperate, and look forward to the decisive battle with Qin Mubai! ”

"Then don't you want our Qiangtang, Sun Bo, and Motuo? That's the land that Zampu gave to our tribe, and it's the inheritance left to us by our ancestors! The crowd questioned.

"Not only don't you want these places, but you also have to clear the wilderness, and don't leave a sheep or a grain of millet for Qin Mubai! We have to make it difficult for them to be fed, to make it difficult for their soldiers to breathe and eat on the plateau! "What is the point of losing a few inches of land temporarily?" When the royal city wins the battle, it can be easily taken back at any time! - If you are obsessed with the gains and losses of an inch of land and refuse to divide your troops, you may lose the entire dynasty at that time! ”

"Qinling Gao Theory!" Abandon the sect and praise deeply agreed, and said, "In this case, we will respond to all changes with the same - the vertical wall Qingye will concentrate our troops, and we will fight a decisive battle with Qin Mubai in the royal city!" ”
