Long Langchi's arrival showed his attitude of recognizing Tibet. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Pei Min did not leave any room like Chang'an. This situation is different, and the way of dealing with it must also change.

Before, it was Tubo who forcibly occupied the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and it was obviously a defeated country, but it did not return it shamelessly.

This time it was different, they not only regained the lost ground, but also embedded the nail in Qinghai Lake, which already had a decisive advantage.

In the face of other countries, Pei Min will take the method of beating the water dogs, but Tubo is different.

Altitude sickness is too much of a threat to the Tang army, and if this problem is not overcome one day, it will be extremely difficult for the Tang Dynasty to kill the capital of Tibet and capture the Potala Palace.

And the only way to overcome altitude sickness is to get used to it, and it takes a certain amount of time to get used to.

In the face of this situation, temporary peace is necessary.

Of course, there is another point that is extremely important, and today's Tang Dynasty is still in a state of rapid development, and the meaningless consumption of Tibet can only cause the end of labor and money.

Since Tubo was willing to give in and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, Pei Min couldn't think of a reason to disagree.

But as a defeated country, what a price! You still have to pay some.

This Pei Min didn't have to discuss here, for some reason, after sending Long Langchi away, just in case, he specially wrote a letter to Li Longji, indicating that Qinghai Lake was rich, and he would take this opportunity to share the pie no matter what.

Confirming Tubo's attitude, Pei Min accelerated the construction of the new city.

It took a month for the four walls of Mo Licheng to finally be built.

However, it is said that Moli City is a city, but it is actually a convenient fortress, just like the military town is the same as the three cities of Da Momen, Shudu, and Wanxiu, only the families of soldiers or soldiers who are willing to move here are housed, and the people are not settled. The significance of its existence is based on the defense against the invasion of Tibet, the city is empty, not even a decent house has been built, and the soldiers in the city are still living in tents.

Of course, there will definitely be equipment for the house in the future, but all this will have to wait for the imperial court to allocate military funds and materials, so that it can come step by step, and we can't rush to this time. Even if the wall is now, it will be overhauled in the future.

On this day, Pei Min got the news from Chang'an Flying Pigeon.

After several days of discussions, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo reached a preliminary agreement, and a truce agreement was made between Tang and Tibet.

The truce was decided, and Pei Min also made preparations for the withdrawal.

In today's situation, it is unlikely that Tibet will rebel in a short period of time. Just in case, Pei Min still found Feng Changqing: "Tubo children are like jackals, faithless and unrighteous, and mercenary." As soon as my army withdraws, they may not really peep at Mo Licheng, and before ensuring the safety of Mo Licheng, I need you to protect Mo Licheng's safety. In the army, your intelligence and strategy reassure me the most. ”

Feng Changqing walked uprightly: "Pei Shuai is so important, he will vouch for his life in the end, people are in the city, and people will not die in the city!" ”

Pei Min hammered his chest and smiled: "Don't be so rigid, don't leave the city, it's not worth changing to Feng Changqing." Others don't know, I don't know the value of your Feng Changqing, even if you take the entire Qinghai Lake, you can't exchange it for a Feng Changqing. ”

"Pei Shuai......" Feng Changqing looked at Pei Min with emotion, the feeling of dying for a confidant is a great thing, if it is in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Three Kingdoms, when the imperial power is like dung, the oath of allegiance is kept.

Feng Changqing's talent is slightly unknown to Pei Min no one knows better, this hateful man has completely confirmed the word "people can't look good", and the possessor has an extraordinary military level. Give Mo Licheng to him, unless Tubo mobilizes more than ten times the number of troops, otherwise he will not want to get benefits in his hands.

Leaving 4,000 soldiers for Feng Changqing, Pei Min led the remaining troops down the plateau with confidence.

Rendezvous with Guo Zhiyun in Da Momen City, the two joined forces.

Pei Min was anxious to return to Chang'an to welcome his child, and chose to cross Shibao City to Shanzhou, and then go directly to Guanzhong through the official road. Instead of taking the Jiuqudi in Hexi, they rushed to Taozhou by their offensive route.

All the way to Mengchiling, they boarded the stone castle city they had captured.

At dusk, the road down the mountain was rough and difficult, so I decided to rest the night in the stone castle city.

With nothing to do, Pei Min planned to visit Shibao City to see how this fortress that had buried countless Tang soldiers here, so he called Jiang Yue, Li Yide, and Li Siye by the way, and chatted and talked together to promote mutual affection.

When he came to the North Gate Tower, Pei Min looked out from the tower and instantly understood.

Why did Wang Zhongji reject Li Longji's proposal to attack Shibao City in history, and why did Geshuhan attack a Shibao City defended by less than 1,000 people, but paid the lives of 30,000 soldiers!

They walked in the mountains behind Mengchiling, and they didn't feel it yet. In order to facilitate reinforcements, Tubo specially repaired the mountain road, only thinking that it was a dangerous place, but it was not a natural danger.

But now looking at the front mountain of Shanzhou, everything is understood:

This stone castle city is not as simple as a small castle at all, the whole mountain is a natural defense line, a small mountain road, winding and twisting, and there is no place to stand on the left and right.

Especially one hundred and twenty steps away from the front gate of Shibao City, there is a stone crevice mountain road similar to a line of sky, not to mention that tens of thousands of troops can't even stretch out for five people, it is simply an important place where a man can not open a thousand people. If you really want to attack, you have to pay a great price for every step you take.

Jiang Yue exclaimed: "The steepness of this Stone Fort City is not inferior to Tongguan Pass and Jianmen Pass. ”

"Not bad!" Guo Zhiyun and Gongren also walked over side by side, and the former said: "In terms of its strength, Shibao City is inferior to Tongguan and Jianmen Pass by three points, but it is better than the danger." ”

He walked to the city wall, looking at the steep mountain road, his face was a little sad, he succeeded to the Longyou Jiedu envoy, this stone castle city is his heart disease, many times sent troops to surprise attacks, all of them had no effect, but lost a lot of soldiers. Under this valley, at least 5,000 of his soldiers were buried, "If it weren't for the public plan of the state and the general's strategy, this stone fortress city would really be difficult to take." ”

Pei Min also went closer, stretched out his hand to support the city wall, wanting to see how high the city wall was from the ground, but unexpectedly saw that a few big characters in the middle of the city wall were crossed out, and replaced by a string of Tibetan characters.

"What is this?" Pei Min looked at Gong Ren.

On Gongren glanced at it and said, "In your words, it translates to the meaning of Iron Blade City. The Stone Fort City is called the Iron Blade City in Tibet. ”

"What a shame!" Guo Zhiyun said angrily: "The three characters of this stone castle city were still inscribed by Yang Guang back then. Tubo snatched it, changed its name and treated it as its own! ”

On Gong Ren smiled awkwardly.

Pei Min also came to the fire and said: "Stone Castle City, it is Stone Castle City, what Iron Blade City, change it immediately!" ”

Guo Zhiyun immediately: "Guogong is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, why don't you write a word and let people put it on the table?" ”

Pei Min's heart was greatly moved, how could this kind of beautiful thing that has been passed down for thousands of years be allowed to others?

"Go! Find a thick, sturdy rope! ”
