"Listening to Xiangguo's words, this year's battle of Stone Fort may not be smooth sailing?" Ji Wen frowned and asked, and Wang Ji and Luo Xizheng also had the same question on their faces.

Li Linfu sighed before replying: "Between five and five, the outcome is unpredictable. Even if you win narrowly, there will be a hard fight. It is even more inevitable that the loss of troops will be lost. ”

This answer stunned Jiwen and the others, who thought that the Battle of Stone Fort was a low-hanging fruit, but they didn't expect it to be so dangerous!

"In the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan (729), the raid on Stone Castle City was not an easy victory?" Luo Xizao was puzzled and didn't understand why Sangkook was so pessimistic.

"The reason why the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan was able to succeed easily was that the Longyou Army and the Shuofang Army unexpectedly adopted long-distance attack tactics, and lurked under the stone castle city day and night. With mental calculations or unintentional, the soldiers defending the city of Tubo were caught off guard and won the battle. But today is different from the past, Tubo knows that our army will attack the stone fort, so they will continue to attack Yinglong City, and even send troops to attack when there is a heavy snowstorm on the first day. From this, it can be seen that the stone castle city must be heavily guarded, and the method of sneak attack is indispensable and can no longer be used. ”

"In this case, the only way to attack is to sacrifice your life!" Wang Ji sighed.

"What about Wang Zhonghei?" Givin's eyes flickered as he asked further.

Li Linfu stared at Ji Wen for a moment, knowing the half-hidden meaning of his words. "Although Wang Zhonghei has the unscrupulous intention of preserving his strength and supporting the East Palace, his military views are indeed extraordinary. In fact, the topography of the stone castle mentioned by a certain party is all derived from Wang Zhonghe's past music. When the sage ordered him to attack the stone fort, Wang Zhongji vigorously stated the difficult terrain of the stone fort in the recital, and said that if the stone fort was stormed, it was very likely that tens of thousands of soldiers would be killed or wounded, and it might not be possible to fight in a battle. ”

"Tens of thousands of casualties!! Aren't there only more than 1,000 Tibetan soldiers stationed in the stone castle city? Wang Ji was shocked by Wang Zhonghe's conclusion that year.

"The reason why Wang Zhongsi disobeyed his strong points, resisted in every way, and delayed attacking the stone fort was because after on-the-spot visits and repeated deductions, he came to the conclusion that the attack on the stone fort would inevitably lose tens of thousands of soldiers." Li Linfu said calmly, as if Wang Zhonghe's recital was right in front of him.

"How can the lives of tens of thousands of people be changed to an official!" Luo Xizao recited the "famous words" that Wang Zhonghei said that day: "He prides himself on being a benevolent general who sympathizes with soldiers, but where does he put the saint!" It's so hateful to be so fatherless! ”

"Wang Zhonghei's crime of colluding with the East Palace, Your Majesty has already made a holy ruling, so there is no need to say anything more. The saint's heart to take the stone fort has been decided, and those who are ministers should do their best to win victory and reduce casualties. Li Linfu stopped Luo Xizao's slander of Wang Zhonghe: "Therefore, I have been consulting the relevant military and political documents in the northwest in the past few days, and found that the party department under the command of Shuo Fang Jiedu originally lived in the Xihai area, was familiar with the surrounding geography, and had a force that was good at mountain foot warfare. The reason why the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan was able to raid the stone castle was successful, and the party department contributed a lot. At the time of the Yuanri Meeting, I forgot about this support. A certain person was going to ask the sage to send an edict to Zhang Qiqiu, the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu, and transfer the party Xiang Department to Tuoba Shou Jing and lead 3,000 soldiers and horses of his own clan to Longyou to participate in the war. ”

"Xiangguo is loyal to the country and has no last resort, which is really a model for my generation!" Wang Ji said respectfully.

Li Linfu may have been more proud of the move to mobilize the party department, smiled and found a book of chapters, and handed it to Wang Jie: "That Zhang Qiqiu is also a person who is not willing to be lonely, since last year, 20,000 soldiers and civilians have been mobilized to continuously strengthen the old city and build a new city at the site of the old city of Kedun in Muzhushan Mountain, more than 500 miles northwest of the city of Zhongshou (now in the mountainous area of Nanlang Mountain, Wengen Town, Urad Zhongqi, Inner Mongolia). He hoped to refer to the pattern of Yinglongcheng's Shenwei army here, and organize a Hengsai army to strengthen the monitoring of the Uighur Khanate. His recital is to expect the permission of the saints and the government. Not only that, but he also recommended a veteran in his fifties Guo Ziyi, ready to use him as a military envoy to Hengsai. ”

"Lian Po is old, can you still eat?" When Luo Xixiao heard that Guo Ziyi was so old, he couldn't help but say sarcastic.

"Who is the military envoy of Hengsai doesn't matter, it's just that don't let that Zhang Qiqiu use Hui as a springboard and accumulate too much credit." Gevenpi said with a smile.

"An Lushan, Gao Xianzhi, An Sishun, Ge Shuhan, Ashina Yang, etc. are all fine, but Zhang Qiqiu, Wang Zhengjian and others may covet the position of the court!" Luo Xixiao broke the heavens with one word.

"Expedition to Shiguo, if Wang Zheng sees the great destruction of Zhaowu and the mighty earthquake river, and makes immortal miraculous achievements, will he become the second Wang Zhonghei?" Gwen was a little worried.

"The great food invaded the east, the Tubo moved westward, and the land in the river did not know the prestige of the Han soldiers for a long time. In recent years, the respect of the Zhaowu Nine Kingdoms for the Tang Dynasty has become thinner and thinner. Therefore, Wang Zhengjian took advantage of the civil strife in Dashi to propose to conquer the stone country and deter Dashi, and the timing was ingenious and convincing. The sage also deeply agreed with this, so when the Zichen Hall was discussed, a certain person could not stop this move. Fortunately, Ashina Yang revealed the information earlier, and a certain person came up with Anxi and Beiting to share the credit of Wang Zhengjian. ”

"Two ways to attack Shiguo, it is more secure, this is the old Cheng's strategy to seek the country!" After Wang Ji was denied by Li Linfu once, when it came to military strategy, his words were much more cautious.

After Ji Wen saw Wang Ji wincing, his heart was secretly refreshed, and he actively said: "Anxi and Beiting march together, and the odds of winning have greatly increased. But is there an obstacle for the two lines of soldiers and horses not to belong to each other? If the priorities are divided and the two have similar official positions, then Gao Xianzhi's qualifications seem to be inferior to Wang Zhengjian......"

"Jiulang's words, in one sentence!" Li Linfu approvingly: "Who is the boss and who is the deputy is the key to this battle. In terms of seniority, Wang Zhengjian is indeed superior. Therefore, when the court was discussing, a certain deliberately suppressed this topic. The saint was concerned with the victory or defeat of the war, and did not have a clear consideration of the attribution of the commander. But for a certain and Donggong, who is the main and who is the deputy is really the most important thing. Dare to ask Jiulang, how should this matter be solved? ”

Both Wang and Luo Xizheng stared at Ji Wen, lamenting how well he grasped the situation. Ji Wen felt the jealousy of the two, and while his face remained unchanged, he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Suddenly, when I heard Li Linfu ask, my mind couldn't turn for a while.

"Is this ......" Givan tried to buy time to think: "Is this ......"

In the midst of embarrassment, Ji Wen suddenly thought of the book that Li Linfu took out first, and suddenly had an idea in his heart: "This matter is actually not difficult, didn't Wang Zhengjian just send the handle to Xiangguo?" Although the Tingzhou fire could not hurt its roots, there was a mistake in negligence after all. What's more, Wen Xitang, who set fire to the fire, was deeply implicated in Wang Zhengjian's main room Pei's family, and it was not wronged to say that he was not strict in governing his family. He retreated as an advance, trying to evade the punishment of the saints and get by. We'll push the boat down the river and make it impossible for him to be the commander of the expedition to the Stone Country! ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Linfu laughed heartily: "This proposal coincides with me!" In terms of mental agility, above the court, there are only a handful of people who are better than Jiulang! Jiulang is really my brainstorm! ”

Hearing Xiangguo praise Ji Wen, Wang Ji couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart. At the same time, he also hated himself for not being clever enough, and he didn't guess that the Prime Minister would use Wang Zhengjian's plea to make a fuss.

Wang Ji was anxious to win back a game, but he knew very little about the military and politics in Hezhong, and he didn't know where to start.

In a hurry, he suddenly remembered that when the Yuan Ri Dynasty meeting, the little princess who was dressed in white suddenly had a little plan in his heart: "Xiangguo, the fundamental purpose of conquering Shiguo is to combat the arrogance of the Great Food Eastward Invasion." The little princess of the big food country, can you use one or two? ”

"Shichiro has benefited!" Li Linfu stroked his palms and smiled: "The saint has received Princess Anicee after the court meeting in the Zichen Hall on the first day, and enshrined her as the lord of Huaiyuan County of the Tang Dynasty to show her merit of visiting thousands of miles. Honglu Temple has complied with the decree and built a mansion for her in Yanshoufang, near the West Market. Of course, with the practice of Honglu Temple, it is said to be a construction, and it must be to find an old house and renovate it. At this moment, the county lord of Huaiyuan thought that he was almost in Tingzhou City. ”

"Tingzhou City!?" The three of them were very surprised, they had never paid much attention to such a small princess of big food, so they really didn't know that she had quietly left Beijing and traveled west.

"Xiangguo, building a mansion in Yanshoufang is the light, and going to Tingzhou for thousands of miles is the dark. The saint's move is aimed at the big food. Gwin was the first to react.

"Jiurou is right." Li Linfu affirmed Ji Wen's speculation: "After receiving the Great Food Envoy, the sage deeply felt that he knew too little about the Great Food Country. And this expedition to Shiguo is very likely to directly engage with the Great Food Rebels. Therefore, when the sage ordered Ashina Yang to return to the North Court, he secretly brought the county lord of Huaiyuan. First, it can allow Beiting to strengthen its understanding of the Great Food Rebels, and second, it can provide support for the righteous name against the Great Food Rebels. ”

"At the invitation of the Great Food King, thousands of miles of troops were sent to help quell the rebellion! This is the style of my great country in China, and the work of a saint far surpasses Qi Huan! The strategy of the country is better than the management of the middle! Wang Ji immediately understood the intention of this move, and hurriedly slapped Li Linfu's ass.

"It would be better if Anxi and the athletes of Beiting didn't clash with the Great Food Rebels. This will give you plenty of time to manage the land in the river. Hezhong is stable in the west, and the west is stable, and Longyou'an is in Chang'an, and Longyou'an is worry-free! However, if the Great Food Rebels vainly attempt to challenge the military might of the Tang Dynasty, then we must be both reasonable and powerful, and directly break the heart of the Great Food Rebels to encroach on the river. "Li Linfu has been in the phase for a long time, and as soon as this remark came out, 100,000 male soldiers in the inner study suddenly broke Xirong and waved their swords to cleanse the world's turbidity!

"What Xiang Guo said is extremely true!" Wang Ji hurriedly echoed: "The expedition is carried out by Xiangguo Temple, Anxi and Beiting are struggling in the middle, and Huifu, Gelulu, Huangjiasi, Shatuo, Bahanna and other departments are attached to the rear, and this battle will definitely be able to shock the river!" Xiangguo will also leave a name in history! ”

"Leaving a name in history? Don't leave a stigma and forget it. Li Linfu's interest suddenly became a little sluggish: "A certain one seeks the great Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, eternal like the sun and the moon, and the virtue of the saint is like a grass, and the sea is draped." ”
