After many days of meetings to unify thoughts, the Weizhou Ji Kingdom unified their thoughts, and all agreed on the strategic identity in the future, as for why everyone has been wondering why the king is so convinced that the chaos in the Central Plains is very tragic, and predicts that the Yellow Nest will soon perish, Li Bao smiled and said nothing.

When the strategic goal is achieved, the next step is to implement the specific strategic issue, so Li Bao chose a sunny spring day to convene the generals to participate in the implementation meeting of the Tubo strategy. This meeting is very important and represents the key to the development of Weizhou in the next five years, so there are many people convened.

Present at the meeting were Zhang Chengfan, a soldier who joined the army, Chai Cun, an inspection envoy, Qian De'an and Song Wentong, senior officials at the command and envoy level of the Weizhou Left and Right Army, and Wang Bo, Ouyang Hui, and Kalondawa, who had just joined the army.

Since Yang Siqi had been transferred to Cao Cao to join the army, Li Bao appointed Wang Bo as the deputy commander of the Right Army, a position that was definitely a great trust for a general like Wang Bo.

Li Bao's move also caused a lot of criticism in the Weizhou army, but Li Bao was unmoved, but Wang Bo was moved beyond words, and he personally went to Li Bao to show his loyalty, which made King Li extremely useful.

In addition, Mu Da, the director of the Longmen Dart Bureau, and his righteous son Ye Seventeen attended the meeting, and now the left and right armies of Weizhou have been expanded, and almost all the elites of the military forces under the control of Weizhou have been withdrawn.

As Li Bao's life-saving benefactor, coupled with his experience and skills, Mu Da was able to be appointed by Li Bao as the head of the Longmen Dart Bureau, but as Mu Da grew older, he had slowly handed over the Longmen Dart Bureau to the younger generation.

Although Ye Qiqi is young, he is a diligent and studious person, so Mu Da also feels that he has a good vision and does not bury talents.

In addition, Wang Bushan is still sitting in the dart game, Ye 17 and other juniors also respect Wang Bushan very much, under the unity and cooperation of several of them, although the Longmen Dart Bureau is in troubled times, but the business is not scarce, but there is more and more trend.

In addition to the Longmen Dart Bureau, there were also Zhao Qiancheng Liang Hongmei and his wife who participated in the meeting, as the head of the Shanhe Society and the director of the chain operation of the Shanhe Society, but as economic personnel to participate in the military meeting, this made many people not understand.

Li Bao also specially pointed out that the implementation of this strategy also requires Zhang Chengye and Jing Xiang to participate in this strategy as coordinators, so Zhang Chengye, who is in charge of the affairs of Cao in the Ji Kingdom, and Hu Cao joined the army Jing Xiang also dressed up again.

In addition, there were two leaders of Chang'an Buddhism, Yuanren and Mingde, who were once the two leaders of Chang'an Buddhism, and the reason why they were asked to participate in the meeting was because the Tibetan strategy involved the affairs of Buddhism.

When all the personnel arrived, Hu Sanbao notified Li Bao to come over for a meeting.

After Li Bao entered the door, a group of officials waited for Li Bao to sit down, and after saluting and shouting His Royal Highness King Ji Chitose, Li Bao waved everyone to get up.

This set of etiquette is arrogant for Li Bao, he is a prince, according to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, the prince cannot be called His Royal Highness unless he is the prince, and it is impossible to have a subordinate official. But he is now far away from the emperor in Weizhou Mountain, and everyone will take care of him, so it is nothing for him to secretly enjoy it here.

After everyone was seated, Li Bao got up and unwrapped the large map hanging in the chamber. This area is a combination of maps preserved by the Tang Dynasty and maps from Li Bao's memory, and was produced through the concerted efforts of Tubo people such as Ouyang Hui and Karondawa.

But this map was still too rough in Li Bao's eyes, but everyone in the hall was shocked to see such a clear map. Li Baoben also wanted to get a sand table, but he had to give up due to limited time.

After everyone had carefully looked at the map, Li Bao began to preside over the meeting. This Tubo strategy is based on the harsh geography and climate of Tubo, and with the military strength of Weizhou at this time, it is impossible for Kenben to attack Tubo in the whole territory, but he can use the economic power as a tool to invade Tubo.

Seeing that everyone present had seen almost, he coughed, and then spoke: "Tubo is no longer strong now, but Tubo has a vast territory and their soldiers are strong, and now our Weizhou is taking advantage of their domestic fatigue to attack Tubo and collect its elite soldiers, and it is the right time for me to use it." ”

After Li Bao finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "Your Highness Shengming! ”

Li Bao continued: "But it would be very unwise to attack the force of Tubo's lawsuit, so our method of attacking this time is to rely on the power of the economy." ”

Li Bao's statement is very fresh, this kind of tactics is like a book in the ears of the ancients, they don't understand what Li Bao's so-called "economic power" is, but they don't believe that they can defeat a barbaric and martial country just by buying and selling goods, it's too incredible.

Therefore, there was a buzz in the council hall for a while, and Li Bao and the others discussed for a while before continuing: "The big guy may not believe it, but relying on buying and selling things can disintegrate a country, and it can also destroy a country. If you don't believe it, let's wait and see. ”

Since the king said this, the officials had nothing to say, after all, the strategy of Tubo this time was completely formulated by Li Bao alone, and all the strategies and tactics came from the experience of his later generations, so the officials present could only let Li Bao command.

Li Bao showed the determination and self-confidence of his superiors to fight an economic war in this Datang, of course, this battle needs the concerted efforts of his subordinates to complete.

Li Bao took out a document, and then said to the participants: "This document contains all the main points of our meeting, and each of you has a copy in your hand now, you can open it." ”

Li Bao flipped through the document in his hand and said: "This is the information about all aspects of Tubo's country, which has been collected and sorted out after more than half a month, so let's take a look at it first." ”

So the officials in the chamber began to look through the materials in their hands, and Li Bao opened them again and read them, which came from the hard work of Zhang Hui and Yun Fang and the strong support of Hu Sanbao, so that the manuscript could be completed.

Li Bao was very satisfied with the results of the three of them, Li Bao said that Tibet was no longer strong, not a lie, but that after the last Tsamprangdama launched an extermination campaign in Tibet, angry and hateful Buddhists assassinated the last Zamprangdama, and his death caused the division of Tibet into two factions, and with the harsh rule of the Tibetan aristocracy, slave uprisings broke out one after another.

Today's Tubo has fallen into disarray, and the area in the eastern part of Tubo near the border of the Tang Dynasty (most of Qinghai in later generations) is either like Shang Tingxin and Weizhou Hezhou surrendered to the Tang Dynasty more than ten years ago, or they are self-established as kings, each working on its own, and attacking endlessly.

This is the reason why the Weizhou army attacked the cities around Weizhou so smoothly, and now Li Baoding plans to attack Tubo on a large scale, and he must face various forces in Tubo.

Today, there are two orthodox forces in Tibet: the first is the son of Langdarma, Yongdan Zanpu and his descendants (embraced / raised by the princess), this force occupies the western Tibetan region and is strong.

Osong Zampu (the widow of the little princess) and his descendants occupied the eastern Tibetan region, and their strength was slightly weaker.

In addition, there are many slave revolt forces in Tubo, the largest one near Weizhou is the fourth year of Qianfu (877 AD) uprising, the leader of the rebel army Xu Budaze and other four people led the army to capture the poor knot in Shannan, and excavated the royal tombs of Zampu in the past dynasties of Tubo. And the time that has been raging in Tibet for the longest time, Weizhou wants to plan to enter Tibet, and these forces must be paid attention to.

Li Bao waited for two quarters of an hour, and then said to the officials: "Everyone should have seen the same, then I will talk about how we should attack Tibet." ”

As soon as Li Bao's voice fell, all the officials immediately looked up at Li Bao in unison, waiting for Li Bao's explanation.

Li Bao took out a few blackboards from the back of the map and used them to make a simple strategic demonstration: the first step was economic warfare, and the area of the strategy was the entire eastern Tubo region (later Qinghai region) near our Weizhou side.

First of all, what we have to do is to use the surplus money and materials in our hands to go to the areas controlled by the Tibetan royal family to buy or exchange for a large amount of their main grain, which is barley.

This kind of barley wheat is resistant to high cold, and it is oily, and it can be used to make military rations for us after purchase, so you don't have to worry that it is useless for us to buy barley wheat.

In addition, we have to send the elite troops of our Weizhou army or hire people to pretend to be robbers and burn all the barley wheat before it is harvested, so that we can vigorously buy it on the one hand, and send people to burn the barley wheat that is about to be harvested.

In this way, when we have achieved the general trend, then there will be a large shortage of barley wheat in Tibet, and then we can slowly get rid of it and realize it when the price of barley wheat is rising wildly, or we can let them have greater turmoil because of hunger, and then we can send our people to subdue them.

After Li Bao finished explaining, the chamber was quiet, as if it would be a big movement to take a breath, this tactic was too novel, and it opened the eyes of everyone present. They had no doubt about the results of Li Bao's strategy.

Once the first step is successfully implemented, the second step does not need to be said by Li Bao at all, and everyone present has already deduced the performance on their own.

At that time, Tubo will only be more chaotic, and by that time, the Weizhou army with grenades and artillery will be able to easily knock on the royal city of Ousong Zampu in the eastern Tubo. The Weizhou army only needs to be gentle with Ou Song Zanpu and surrender them.

Once the entire eastern Tibet is under the control of the Weizhou army, there will be a military horse in the eastern Tibet, as long as the Weizhou army is a little reorganized, and a few supervisors Ou Song Zanpu's subordinates will rush to the territory of Yongdan Zanpu who occupies Lhasa like a winged tiger.

With the continuous supply of new ordnance by the Weizhou army, when these Tubo people are exhausted, the rest will be a subordinate under His Royal Highness King Ji.

The Weizhou Army's plan to attack Tibet was so simple but sharp and efficient, but the shock to everyone present was indeed permanent. Soon, all the officials knelt down in the meeting hall, and then shouted loudly: "Long live His Royal Highness King Ji, long live Weizhou, long live Datang!" ”
