A Taiji Palace, Li Su's office.

When Wei Chigong saw Li Su, he said eagerly: "Your Majesty, the military situation is urgent, Gao Xianzhi's 100,000 people have been trapped in a valley in the Himalayas, and it has been a month and a half now.

By time, the food and grass they carried had been exhausted. ”

At this time, Wei Zheng and Huang Furui had already heard the news and rushed over, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but be shocked.

Wei Chigong continued: "According to the soldiers who reported the news, they sent three groups of people to report to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and it is possible that the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has already received the report.

However, Gao Xianzhi's department had carried a total of two months of grain and grass, and now nearly three months have passed.

Even after receiving the report, it would take a month and a half at the earliest for the Anzai Prefecture to assemble troops and rush to the rescue.

Gao Xianzhi is afraid that there will be more luck than luck. ”

Wei Zheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, how is this good? This is 100,000 Tang troops! ”

Huang Furui's face was also full of anxiety.

Li Su said calmly: "Don't panic, the matter is not so serious.

Gao Xianzhi is an experienced general, and after being trapped, he will naturally take measures such as reducing the grain quota, so that he can hold on for at least half a month.

Even if all the grain and grass are exhausted, they can still kill horses to satisfy their hunger, and they can hold on for half a month longer.

In this way, they should be able to hold out until help arrives. ”

When Li Su said this, everyone's hearts felt a lot better. However, whether the rescue can arrive in time is uncertain.

Li Su asked, "Where is Gao Xianzhi's specific location?" ”

Wei Chigong pointed to the location on the map and said, "Here, this valley is it." ”

Li Su picked up a pen, walked over, and circled the place where Wei Chigong pointed his finger.

He said: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own way." Wei Chigong. ”

"The minister is here!" Wei Chigong replied.

Li Su said: "In order to prevent the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate from not receiving the news of the rescue, you immediately sent people directly to the Anxi Metropolitan Protector and urged them to send troops to rescue." ”

"Obey the order!" Wei Chigong immediately went to handle it.

Li Su sent someone to call Finance Minister Gao Jingming.

Li Su said: "Gao Jingming, you immediately send someone to send 100,000 taels of gold to the East Palace, I have an urgent need." ”

"Obey the order!" Gao Jingming also went to do it immediately.

Li Su instructed Wei Zheng and the others not to pay attention to this matter, but asked to keep it as secret as possible and not to cause panic.

After speaking, he left the Taiji Hall and returned to the East Palace.

East Palace.

There are two confidential places in the East Palace, one of which is the reference room.

Qibi Wuyun and Ashina Qing were in charge of the data room in the East Palace, and others were forbidden to enter, even other imperial concubines.

The materials in the data room are mainly all kinds of scientific and technological materials that Li Su came from Taobao, which were sorted out by Qibi Wuyun and Ashina Qing and then distributed to relevant departments.

The densest place is not here.

Just like in the Liang Wangfu back then, there was a secret room in Li Su's study, which was built extremely strongly. The key is only in the hands of Li Su alone.

This secret room, except for Li Su, no one has ever entered. Li Su had a strict order that anyone who tried to enter this secret room should be killed.

Li Su returned to the East Palace,

Qibi Wuyun and Ashina Qing chatted with him for a while, and when they heard Yang Kang's report, Gao Jingming sent someone to send gold, and Li Su ordered them to carry it into his study.

Qibi Wuyun and Ash Naqing and the other imperial concubines are very knowledgeable about the rules, and Li Ning'er is not like back then, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to say anything about Li Su, they won't ask.

Seeing that Li Su had something to do, Qibi Wuyun and Ash Naqing said goodbye and left.

Li Su entered the office and was about to say a code word to summon the Taobao system, when he heard the Taobao system say: "Your Majesty, is there something good to find me?" ”

Li Su smiled: "I'll make a big deal with you and make you a fortune." ”

The system said: "Okay, I'm interested in this, let's say, what do you want to buy?" ”

Li Su said: "Buy me 6 million catties of grain, as well as oil, vegetables and timber for 100,000 people for two months. Delivered to my designated location. ”

The system said: "Yes, this is the biggest deal you and I have ever made, for the sake of the huge amount, I will give you a ninety-fifty discount." ”

Li Su said: "Then thank you." Also, last time I mentioned to you, is there any news about Taobao metal items? ”

"This is not possible at this time, but we are working on a new delivery program, and if it can be successful, it may be possible," the system said. I'll keep you informed as soon as there's any news. ”

Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

When the eldest grandson Wuji received the report, he immediately urged the Anxi Military Region to mobilize troops, and he also immediately raised materials and organized the rescue of Gao Xianzhi's department.

The General's Mansion in the Northwest of Tibet.

Dadu Tong Songrenge, who was also one of the four famous Tibetan generals, received a report from Xizuo that the Tang army was trying to cross the Himalayas and carry out a sneak attack on Tibet. Trapped in a valley in the Himalayas.

Hearing this, Songrenge laughed and said:

"Zampu (the king) transferred most of the troops of the Northwest General's Mansion away, and I was really worried that the Tang Dynasty would make a sneak attack from the northwest, and they really came.

Fortunately, thanks to the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, he was trapped in the valley by the sacred mountain (the Tibetan people's name for the Himalayas). ”

His aides said: "Dadu, while they are besieged in the valley, send troops to exterminate them." ”

Song Renge shook his head and said, "No. For one thing, I don't have that many troops at hand.

Second, they are trapped in the valley and can't get out, and we can't get in. I was familiar with the terrain of that valley, surrounded by cliffs, and it was difficult for our people to climb up to pose a threat to them.

Third, they have been besieged in the valley for so long that they have long run out of food and grass. The people who are waiting for them to come to the rescue can only collect the corpses for them, and we don't need to make any effort. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing again and said, "These damned Tang people dared to pass by the sacred mountain, and this time, they angered the mountain god and were punished. ”

After laughing, he said, "Don't be careless, though. Send someone to monitor Taniguchi and report to me in a timely manner if there is any situation. ”

His men complied with the order.

The Grand Canyon of the Himalayas.

At this time, Gao Xianzhi was really a little desperate.

The Tang army has been out of food for a long time, all the pack horses have been slaughtered, and most of the war horses have been slaughtered. Even if you save more, you can stick to it for another five days at most.

These days, the soldiers have not had enough to eat, there is no fuel for fire, and many people with weak constitutions have died of cold and starvation.

The morale of the soldiers was fluctuating, and they had begun to despair, and suicides occurred from time to time.

Gao Xianzhi and the commanders at all levels kept cheering up the soldiers, but now the effect is very poor.

On this day, Gao Xianzhi convened a meeting of officers and called on them to continue to do a good job in propaganda and stabilize the troops.

An officer said: "Chief of Staff, you are in such a predicament because of your command mistakes, and you have to give an explanation to the soldiers!" ”
