Chapter 322: Only Dan's Heart Is Hard to Destroy (1)

In mid-June, Li Wei finally arrived in Shanzhou.

As soon as the front arrived, all the important generals were gathered together in the back, and the guards were ordered to hang up the large map of Qinghai.

Then he glanced at Li Jinxing, who nodded quietly. At first, Li Jinxing was very worried, but he didn't dare to resist the will of the imperial court, and he wanted to learn Liu Renliang to pretend to be sick and return to the court, but Liu Renliang had already done it and couldn't learn anymore. sighed with his wife, among all the heavy generals, he was the only one who brought his wife, but none of them had any objections, his wife could be a brave general. Later, Mu Hangying, I don't know if it's true or not, and Hua Mulan doesn't know where it came from, but his wife Liu's war in Nu City, a few years have passed, and the Yan Ya and the *** rebel department have been mentioned so far, and they are still disgraced. The Liu clan came up with an idea to bring together the disciples brought by his subordinates from the tribe.

In fact, to do so is to prepare for self-preservation after a big defeat.

There is no way, Li Jinxing himself wants to make a contribution, but Li Jingxuan is here, he can build a fart feat, and if he can't get 180,000 people to lose it in Qinghai, he doesn't want to be buried with him.

However, not long after, news came that the imperial court had changed the holy decree and let the prince lead the troops. The prince's battle in the southwest, knowing it, is still not very relieved. The group of ministers in the court didn't know, but he was a famous general, and it was impossible not to know the difference between Qinghai and Yaozhou.

But a little better, still not optimistic.

It didn't take long to receive a letter from the prince, and he was overjoyed. It seems that the prince is not simple, and then steals fun with his wife in the bed. At least it seems that the crown prince is much stronger than Li Jingxuan. Then occupy Shancheng and hold on. In fact, this is not right, Li Jingxuan is about to hand over when he arrives, and the three counties of Shancheng, Longzhi, and Huangshui in Shanzhou will be returned to Li Jingxuan's jurisdiction together, and he can only manage the three small counties of Dahua, Michuan, and Huacheng in Kuozhou. Li Jingxuan didn't know that Hu Sheng came to Shanzhou to trade, Li Wei did not hide it, only wrote a letter saying that he was changing horses, and asked Li Jingxuan to let him go all the way, without asking for cooperation and not blocking him. Li Jingxuan was a little unhappy, Liu Renliang proposed this proposal and asked him to veto it, and finally Liu Renliang forced him to come to Qinghai.

But I don't understand military affairs, this simple truth is still understood, the Tang Dynasty still has many war horses, as well as transport pack horses, as well as some unkempt horses and donkeys brought by the government soldiers, but on Qinghai, none of them are suitable for Qinghai horses. And the cost of exchanging goods for horses is also very low. So I reluctantly agreed. only knew this, and the other Li Wei did not say it. If you say it, you may not understand, but you may be greedy for merit and misdeeds.

Li Wei told Li Jinxing the original, and Li Jinxing stayed in Shancheng and did not leave. Quietly released Hu Sheng and let him go to the territory of Tuyuhun. Few people know all this, and all they know are his close cronies, and then silently cooperate with the prince's plan. Li Jingxuan couldn't think of it, and the front line of Qinghai was undoubtedly Kuozhou, Hezhou and Taozhou, and the most dangerous place in Shanzhou was Shancheng. Li Jinxing, a killer, took care of Shancheng for him, but he was happy to see it. Besides, he didn't have the energy to take care of it, and everyone from all walks of life was here, how to make arrangements for it, so he was very busy.

Li Wei didn't want to ask, so he had to make an inquiring look, and Li Jinxing nodded. But there is some hair in my heart, as a general who charges into battle, the younger the better, but as the commander of the three armies, it is not like the legend of Fang City said, you have to champion the three armies, which requires wisdom. Seeing that the prince was too young, he retreated in his heart.

Li Wei said at this time: "Everyone, the army has basically arrived, and the supplies are almost complete. Let's start with a big policy. ”

That is, how to fight, the generals nodded. There must be at least one target, otherwise these hundreds of thousands of people, like a bee that has lost its queen bee, will blow up the camp.

"Lone first to throw bricks and stones, say your thoughts, and then you will talk about your high opinions. Soldiers, use their own strengths, sacrifice their own shortcomings. On the road, I repeatedly thought, what are the strengths of our army? The weapons are sharp, regardless of the original bow, arrow, knife and lance, they are better than the Tibetans. There are also gunpowder and trebuchets, which are conducive to defending the city. The disadvantage is that many soldiers are not adapted to the environment here, and they have seen it all the way, and although they have eaten Rhodiola, many soldiers have fallen ill. Not only people, but also horses are not suitable for this. And the imperial court has added a lot of war horses, but it still can't be all cavalry, mainly soldiers, let alone like the Tubo people, one person rides the other half and there is a camel horse to reduce the weight of the war horse. Therefore, field warfare is not the strength of our army. ”

"Your Highness, if it weren't, Li Jing also broke the Tugu Hun people in the past." Wang Xiaojie said.

"Yes. But General Wang, I ask you, among you, who has Li Jing's command talent? Besides, at the beginning of the founding of our dynasty, all of them were heroes in a hundred battles, and now there are 180,000 soldiers, how many of them have really been on the battlefield for a long time? At the beginning of the founding of the country, Tugu was exhausted, and our dynasty won a complete victory. Even if Tuyuhun is not destroyed by Tubo, he is still not the opponent of our soldiers. However, can the Tubo people compare to the Tuyuhun people? ”

Wang Xiaojie was speechless.

"So even if you fight, you can't send troops to Dafeichuan and Wuhai."

"Your Highness, do you mean Shou?" Li Jingxuan asked.

"Yes, it's Keep."

"But what about the food?"

"Tuntian, why can I occupy the land of Kuozhou and Hezhou, and still not lose it? It is precisely because of the dense flow of water here, there are Wuzhi water, Longquan water, Gemen water, Huangshui, Lishui, Daxia landscape, Taoshui, and the density of the river network, even if many areas in the Central Plains are not as dense. Therefore, since ancient times, most of the people in this place have made a living from farming, and the imperial court is easy to manage. And to the south, there are mostly alpine places, with few water sources, high and cold land, and can only make a living from nomadism, and the same is true of Dafeichuan. Either a small number of people grow barley, and everyone is not used to eating it. In fact, Jiang Zuoxiang came to Liangzhou and had already begun to build Tuntian. But he died early and did not become popular. So Lone came all the way, and all he saw was a green patch. ”

"Your Highness, if it weren't for the harassment of Tibet, it would be impossible to plant." Li Jinxing agreed.

That's exactly what Lone wants to say. Once a large number of tuntian, Hehuang will become an important grain-producing area in our dynasty, with grain and grass, here can be a large army, and there are gunpowder and other utensils to defend the city, Tubo will not be able to go east. But the harassment of Tibet, you can take a look at the map," Li Wei said, pointing to the map, but he didn't look at it himself, and continued to talk down: "There are many big mountains in Qinghai, and these mountains are tall and tall, and even many mountains are all year round, and they are cut off from the roads in the territory. Therefore, since ancient times, there have not been many roads to the Western Regions from our dynasty to Tuyuhun or Tubo, or the Southern Silk Road. Let's talk about the main roads within the jurisdiction of Qinghai. There is Kelan Pass Road in Hezhou, from Linzhou to Taoshui, to Daxiachuan, northwest to Donggu, to Baohan, cross from the water, to Kelan Pass. From Hezhou to the north, through Fenglin Ancient Pass, to Fenglin Pass, cross the Yellow River Fenglinjin, cross Mantouling, to Longzhi, northwest to Huangshui. From Hezhou to the southwest to Lishui, to Fenglin Pass, can go to Lanquan County, this Emperor Yang conquered Tugu Hun old road. It can also be from Baitu Ridge and Baitu Ancient City to Shanzhou. Fenglin Pass north to Chi'an Bridge, Guangwuliang to Lanzhou. ”

"The main roads in Shanzhou are from Shanzhou to the Gemen Water, through the Changsong Hongyuan Valley, you can go to Liangzhou Guzang, from Shancheng along the Changning River, through the Changning Bridge, into the Changning Gorge, into the Xingsu River, Xingling, Beidu Gemenshui, the northwest can enter the Qilian Mountain, oh, it is the big Dou Tu Valley of the Snow Mountain. This valley is the most dangerous, more than 300 miles from the east of the valley to Liangzhou, more than 200 miles from Ganzhou to the north of Ganzhou, and the ancient and modern post roads are also. From the big bucket valley westward is the old county of Linqiang in the Han Dynasty, is the ancient city of Longyi, the Tubo people stationed here have a fish navy, from the fish navy to Qinghai can Tugu Hun ambush the city. From the west of Shancheng to Baituling, the west is connected to Chengfeng Ridge, and you can go from the dangerous road of Morning Glory Gorge to Tuyuhun. From Shancheng Huangshui Road to sixty miles to the white water stream, to Shicheng Mountain, surrounded by walls on three sides, only one path can be up, over this mountain twenty or thirty miles, is Chiling, there is a road to reach Dafeichuan. This is the main road of Tang Fan. From the southwest of Shancheng, go up along the Niuxin River, you can go to Chengfeng Ridge, Sui Zhi Chengfeng Shu, Guanhu City, southwest over Chiling is the Shudun City of Tuyuhun. ”

There are two more roads in Kuozhou, along the north bank of the Yellow River in the west, turning north from the shore, reaching Chengfeng Ridge, and connecting Chiling Shudun City Road. One hundred and eighty miles southwest of Kuozhou to Jingbian Town, Gushuihe City, is also the garrison of the Jishi Army, thirty miles to the west is Dahua County, sixty miles to the southwest, to Hongji Bridge, one hundred and fifty miles to the southwest, it is the westernmost place of the Yellow River Jiuqu, the south of Taozhou is the Momen Army, three hundred miles to the west is the land of Jiuqu, and from the north is the Mintao Road. Tubo Koudiezhou also passed by this way. There are other roads, such as the ancient Han Road down the Dajishi Mountain into Songzhou and up to Tuyuhun. There are also some roads, some of which are annihilated by the terrain, and some whose location is not important. ”

After saying it in one breath, he took a sip of tea and looked at everyone.

Some people are clear, and some people's heads are blown up, Li Jingxuan listened pitifully while staring at the map.

In fact, there is an important road, Li Wei did not say it, from the northwest of Tuyuhun, you can reach Shazhou Guazhou, that is, the Southern Silk Road, Tubo invaded the four towns in Hexi and passed through this road, so I don't want to take it back for the time being, so I don't say it. In addition, there are many sheep intestine trails, not in a few places, the desert of Qinghai, there are not a thousand such trails, there are a hundred, but not suitable for the army to set off, so there is no need to elaborate one by one.

Li Jingxuan's eyes turned from the map, and he asked suspiciously, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

"Build a city. Baitouling, Daxiachuan, Hongyuan Valley, Xingsu River, Dadou Valley, Morning Glory Gorge, Shicheng Mountain, Hongji Bridge, and the west of Jiuqu, all build stone cities, these big cities are lined up, plus some small garrison arch guards, layer by layer chain fortification, and gunpowder trebuchet arrow crossbow arch guard, if the Tubo people invade, they will fall into the layers of nets of our garrison. Out of a large army, little gain, out of a small army, come and annihilate! The land of the river can be preserved. Moreover, the layers of fortification, the land of Jiuqu, can be cultivated, and after two years, the grain is enough to protect itself. There are also many meadows for grazing, and there is no need to worry about the supply of war horses. Ladies and gentlemen, the Tibetan army is exhausted, and there is civil strife looming, and now is the best time to capture it from time to time. But if you don't send troops, the ambition of the Tibetan wolf will inevitably swallow the entire Hehuang, and once the Hehuang is lost, it will not be far from Xijing Chang'an. This is what the imperial court is most worried about. ”

"Yes," Li Jingxuan replied. This is the real reason why the imperial court had to fight. It turned out that there were Tuyuhun people as a buffer, and even if there was a war with the Tubo people, the war would be outside the borders. But now it's different, Tubo not only endangers the Western Regions, but also endangers the Helong states, how far is it from Chang'an City?

"After layers of fortification, Qinghai can be safe, even if it loses one city or two cities, there are still dozens of cities and hundreds of cities guarded layer by layer. Qinghai is not lost, Liangganlan, Lindiemin and other states can be safe, so the crisis in the capital will be solved. Then we can sit back and wait for the fighters, step by step to the west. ”

"Your Highness, your idea is good, but this requires a lot of soldiers, and there are so many soldiers stationed in the imperial court?"

"This is another question that I have thought about on the road alone. In the past, the Turks died, and their tribes either surrendered to the Xue Yantuo tribe in the north, or went west to the Western Regions, or surrendered to our dynasty. The ministers thought that Beidi had been a plague for China since ancient times, and it was appropriate to move to Zhuzhou County, Henan, to teach it to cultivate and weave, and to fill the north forever. Yan Shigu put it in Hebei and set up a chieftain, and it will never be troubled. Li Baiyao believed that although the Turks were one country, they had many races, and they should each have their own rulers and not subordinate to each other, and the division of the country would be weak and easy to control, and each would be preserved and would not be able to compete with China. Dou Jing believes that Rong Di's nature is like a beast, and it cannot be used to punish the law, nor can it be benevolent and righteous, and it may change if it is placed in the Central Plains. It is better to divide the land and analyze the tribe as the daughter of the clan as a wife, so that he can be a vassal and keep the border forever. Wen Yanbo thought that moving to Henan Prefectures would be perverse and difficult to preserve, so he asked the Han Jianwu story to surrender the slaves to the fortress and divide their tribes to defend China. Wei Zheng thought it was inappropriate, the Turkic world was a thief, and the hatred of the people was unbearable. At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Guo Qinjiang persuaded Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty to chase away from the outside of the fortress and not listen, and twenty years later, the land of Yiluo was full of felt. The king of Wen Yan Bo refutes all things, and the heavens and the earth are covered, and he should be taught to be polite and righteous and become the people. So Taizong chose Yanbo's proposal. ”

This is a very famous history, such as the resettlement of Liangzhou by the Ministry of Qibi, which is also a product of this policy.

One by one, I don't know what the prince meant by this story.

Li Wei took another sip of tea and said, "Wrong, wrong, wrong, all wrong." ”

All were stunned, this mistake was not only that Wen Yanbo was wrong, Wei Zheng was also wrong, Li Baiyao was also wrong, Dou Jing was also wrong, Yan Shigu was also wrong, and Li Shimin was also wrong.
