On the same day, Yuan Hui ordered Meng Lingqing to send a team of knights to "escort" the father and son of Zanpo and a few Tubo nobles to Luoyang, and the treatment was much better than at the beginning.

As for the more than 1,000 soldiers who came with Zanpo, they were temporarily incorporated.

And Yuan Langjun summoned Guo Yuanzhen, Meng Lingqing, and Xue Ne to the embassy, took out the "treasure map", and shared it with him. At the beginning, after only one glance, Guo Yuanzhen came to his senses, and compared to yesterday, he completely changed his face, and poked his head a little impatiently. Even Xue Ne's eyes couldn't help but shine, and the lines of his face, which had always been stiff, softened a lot.

The most important value of this map is not the deployment of troops at various passes, as in the words of Zanpo, these are all variable. On the contrary, the location of those cities and passes, the topography, climate, and proven roads and paths.

As far as the Central Plains is concerned, the vast territory of Tibet has always been mysterious and vague, although it is known that it is vast, but how it is, is still unknown, only by the occasional envoys who have been in contact with Tibet for decades, it is really difficult to get a glimpse of its full picture.

But with this map, at least on paper, the outline is finally visible. In particular, the paths indicated, the geographical situation of the notes, are really attractive.

If you go all the way through Tibet, you will definitely hit your head and break your blood flow among the high mountains and mountains. But with the guidance of the road, although it is equally difficult, the difficulty is still greatly reduced, and with sufficient preparation, you can definitely bite off a piece of meat from Tubo.

"Three, what do you think?" With one hand propped up on the bronze case, Yuan Hui observed the expressions of the three of them and asked softly.

"It has always been Tubo that invaded me, and I should counterattack it!" Guo Yuanzhen straightened up and replied directly, his eyes flashing with sharpness: "If you have the way, you may be able to take advantage of the situation to attack, and you will be ashamed one by one!" ”

Paying attention to Guo Yuanzhen's gaze, this guy was clearly aiming at the capital of Tubo and the city of Luo when he spoke. Obviously, Guo Yuanzhen has a lot of ambitions, but he wants to hit the capital of Tibet, but he is whimsical.

"Guo Dudu's heart is commendable, but don't think about things simply!" Rarely, Xue Ne took the initiative to express his opinion: "A map cannot influence the war. Outside the Great Zhou, the mountains are towering, there are many dangers, and there are Tubo people guarding layer by layer. Even if you attack, you need to pull out one city at a time, isn't it easy? ”

Of course, Guo Yuanzhen will not look at things so simply, how can he not be cautious in the military struggle, but when Xue Ne said this, his face was a little unbearable, and he immediately refuted: "Since ancient times, there has been no danger in vain to be able to defend the country." But with 100,000 warriors, it will be able to conquer the village. ”

"Tubo also has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, why does Governor Guo despise them so much?" Xue Ne's expression was flat, and he asked calmly.

"The tribes of the other generation are mixed, and the rabble, how can they stop me from being a warrior in Longshang?" Guo Yuanzhen: This is a little unreasonable.

The military strength of Tubo is certainly not as weak as it says, otherwise there would not have been repeated defeats before. However, that was in the past, and now, there may not be any commanders in Tibet who can replace the Gar brothers.

"Spending national strength, sacrificing soldiers, and seizing poor mountains and bad waters, and barren land, is really a great achievement!"

"What is the best way to defend our country's native people?"

“”

Listening to the two arguing, Yuan Langjun was full of interest on the side, eating melons in front of the crowd. As for Meng Lingqing, he looked confused and couldn't interject at all. But seeing that Xue Ne's face was moved, and there was anger in his voice, Yuan Hui took a picture of the copper case to stop the dispute between the two.

Glancing at the two of them, Fang Cai jokingly said: "We don't want to talk about war on this paper, we can't afford to take the responsibility of setting off a war without the imperial edict." ”

"It has always been the Tubo Horse Soldiers to the east, is it possible that the soldiers and civilians of our Celestial Dynasty can only be passively beaten to deal with it?" Hearing this, Guo Yuanzhen immediately expressed disdain, a bit of a partial generalization.

With his eyes flashing slightly, Guo Yuanzhen glanced at Yuan Langjun: "I don't know what the big handsome man thinks." ”

Obviously, what is said in the mouth is not necessarily what is in the heart, Guo Yuanzhen should be in this situation at this time. Noticing his calm eyes, the corners of Yuan Hui's mouth twitched, touched the sexy stubble on his chin, and said indifferently: "Don't mention anything else for the time being, but this city can be taken by taking the initiative." ”

His eyes moved along Yuan Hui's fingers, and found that his point was on the Stone Castle City on the southwest side, Guo Yuanzhen raised his eyebrows, observing Yuan Hui's expression: "The marshal wants to fight Stone Castle City!" ”

"Yes!" Yuan Langjun nodded confidently: "The situation in Shibao City, presumably Governor Guo also knows it, control the two countries to stuff the throat, and Tubo will invade me from the east; If our army pulls it out, it will be enough to base it, supplemented by the surrounding passes, and set up a sufficiently stable defense line to put the Tubo people west of the Lazhi Mountain. ”

"At that time, the offensive and defensive situation was easy, and with this map, our army could easily expand the land for thousands of miles!" Drawing a circle around Shibao City, Yuan Hui's eyes were blazing: "It is not difficult to come to Dafeichuan again!" ”

Yuan Langjun's words were also point-to-point, and as for more, he had no intention at all. Bragging and pouring chicken soup in your mouth is not a big problem, but if you take it seriously, then it will be a big problem.

Tibet is not so easy to fight, and the complex and steep terrain alone is enough to make people daunted, and the hardships cannot be compensated for by a military map. There's also the inevitable altitude sickness, and if you go deeper, you'll have to consider long supply lines. The most important thing is that with the current national strength of the Great Zhou, there is no room for any "non-centrific" thoughts about Tibet.

However, taking advantage of its turbulence, it is possible to take Stone Castle City, gain the strategic initiative, make some preparations for the future, and lay some foundations. Guo Yuanzhen has a very reasonable saying, taking offense as defense and fighting Tibet is not for its territory, but weakening the strength of this evil neighbor and protecting the security of its own territory is the main purpose.

No matter how his mind changed, Yuan Langjun's expression was always calm, and in front of several people, he quickly wrote a piece of music, pushed it to the center of the case, and chuckled: "I am in charge of the edict to celebrate Longshang, originally to guard against the chaos in Tibet, in case of accidents." ”

"However, now Tibet has not shown its intention to attack me, but I have the intention of plotting against me. I would like to play the Shendu, ask the emperor for permission, choose the opportunity to attack, and take the stone castle city. Do you want to sign it together? ”

Yuan Hui's gaze looked at Guo Yuanzhen with a little playfulness. Noticing Yuan Hui's smiling expression, Guo Dudu took the pen without hesitation and signed his name: "Count it as a certain one." ”

Xue Ne's expression was cautious, but he still lowered his head and thought for a while, and took the pen, but the writing of his name was very powerful, without any sense of procrastination. At this time, Meng Lingqing, the ambassador of the Heyuan Army, seemed to have just come back to his senses, and said with a wry smile: "The three of them are all interested, how dare I fall behind?" ”

After the four of them signed together, Yuan Hui was even more resolute, skillfully placed it in the letter shell, sealed it with wax, and locked it into the post sleeve, attracting the post guard, and making it quickly sent to Shendu.

"Marshal, how do you plan to capture Stone Castle City? Weak only with the strength of the Heyuan Army, I'm afraid it's not enough! Guo Yuanzhen's interest was very high, and he couldn't wait to ask Yuanhui, and unconsciously, his attitude was obviously a lot better.

Waving his hand, Yuan Hui replied softly: "We still need to wait for a good opportunity, what we need to do now is to find out the situation in Tubo." As for the troops, there are tens of thousands of troops in Helong Prefectures, and they are not afraid of having no soldiers. However, at that time, he will find a good opportunity to lead the crowd to attack, and he will have to work hard to make Guo Dudu. ”

"What do you mean?" Guo Yuanzhen was a little surprised.

"I supervise Longyou, and I can't stop Shanzhou, and I can't stop Tubo as an enemy!"
