Xiao Quzhi nodded, if this is the case, this is probably the best way to deal with it. But in this way, it will be even more difficult to annihilate Tibet in a short period of time.

He did not go to Lijiang and Shangri-La in his later life, but many relatives and friends have traveled to the two places, and Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La are already a tourist route.

Listening to them, most people in Dali will not have altitude sickness, but when they arrive in Lijiang, about three adults will suffer from altitude sickness, and in Shangri-La, they generally have altitude sickness.

Less than 100 miles north of Jianchuan is about the later Lijiang, that is, the location of the Shenchuan Governor's Mansion established by Tubo now, and then about 200 miles to the northwest is the west of the location of Shangri-La in later generations, that is, the Iron Bridge City of Tubo, where there is a Shenchuan Iron Bridge across the Jinsha River, which is the most important passage for Tubo to enter Yunnan.

That is, the altitude is higher and higher in the northwest, and I think that when the 20,000 Tang troops arrive at the Shenchuan Governor's Mansion, some people will have altitude sickness, and when they arrive at the Shenchuan Iron Bridge, altitude sickness will generally occur.

Therefore, even if these 10,000 Tibetan forwards are eaten, the remaining 70,000 Tibetan troops can still retreat to the Shenchuan Governor's Mansion, or retreat all the way to the vicinity of the Iron Bridge, and compete with the terrain and the Tang army's advantage of not adapting to the plateau environment, and drag the 20,000 Tiance army to the death.

Unless the 80,000 Tubo army can be wiped out, or rushed to the west of the iron bridge, and then the iron bridge is blown up, so that the results of the victory of the Tiance army against Nanzhao can be preserved, and the 20,000 Tiance army can return to Luoyang with peace of mind.

Xiao Qu had a headache and said: "King Dali, you tell this king, these three edicts are entrenched in Jianchuan, and they are only more than one hundred and fifty miles away from Longshou Pass. It is only a hundred miles away from Eryuan. One day away. The trouble of the heart, why can't Ge Luofeng eliminate it? ”

Duan Jianwei smiled bitterly: "If you don't want to, you really can't."

The three edicts have the secret support of Tubo, and there are geographical advantages, Ge Luofeng is afraid that Tubo will turn his face, and secondly, he thinks that the loss of the attack is too great, and the Nanzhao is at war with the Tang Dynasty at that time, and the gains of the three edicts are not worth the loss. ”

Ma Sui smiled and said, "Aren't he and his father and son the best at sending spies and assassins?" Isn't this how a few edicts were killed? ”

Duan Jianwei said: "General Ma is right. As far as Xia Guan knew, there were at least four edict lords, as well as more than a dozen five edict generals and chieftains, who were killed by the assassins sent by Ge Luofeng's father and son.

But Jianchuan is different, the assassins of Nanzhao will not only not be able to complete the task when they go there, but will also die a miserable death one by one. ”

"Oh, why is that? Could it be that Jianchuan has any great means? "Xiao Qu is sick and interested.

Duan Jianwei showed a terrifying expression: "It's Gu poison." The girls of the Zhao Zhao are extremely good at raising Gu and making Gu poison, and after these assassins of Nanzhao go to Jianchuan, because they are outsiders, they will be tricked by these girls unconsciously, and they will die suddenly soon after, or get a strange disease. It is better to die than to commit suicide or be killed. ”

Xiao Quzhi and Ma Sui were also terrified when they heard it, and Ma Sui and Hu Yueyuan couldn't help but shudder.

Xiao Qu was sick and remembered many legends in later generations. It is said that it is said that the ancient Han people coveted Miao women, and after a long time, they often fled back to the Central Plains. In order not to be disappointed, the Miao girl tricked her sweetheart who promised to return, and if she did not return within the specified time, she would die of poison.

In addition, the most famous is about the Golden Silkworm Gu in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Huashan Xian Yutong was rescued by Hu Qingniu after almost dying of the Golden Silkworm Gu, and later he always used the Golden Silkworm Gu to poison people, but in the end Zhang Wuji sprayed the poisonous gas back to harm himself, and died a tragic death.

Xiao Quzhi's eyes widened and asked, "Is there really a Gu poison in this world?" Is this a bug, or is it poison powder, poison gas? ”

Duan Jianwei's whole body trembled and said: "There are all three, those girls who know the edict use Gu to release poison are simply uncan't prevent it." ”

Xiao Quzhi and Ma Sui glanced at each other, their brows wrinkled into a Sichuan character, and Ma Sui said: "Great Commander, this is even more difficult to do, if we can't lead the Tubo army to Eryuan to eliminate it, wouldn't everyone be in danger if our 20,000 Tiance army crossed Jianchuan?" ”

Duan Jianwei hurriedly said: "It should be safe to pass through the Jianchuan River quickly, although the Gu poison is powerful, it can only be useful in a small range, and it can't block the road, and the Tiance Army has fierce fire oil, so it is not afraid of all Gu poison to open the way." ”

Xiao Quzhi thought for a while and said: "Among the three edicts, the Langqiong Edict and the Xuan Zhao were driven to Jianchuan by Ge Luofeng's father and son, right, and the Luo Zhizhao originally lived near Jianchuan, right?" ”

Duan Jianwei nodded: "In addition to this, those who were resettled and fled to Jianchuan by Tubo also include the remnants of Shi Langzhao, a small number of Yue Xizhao, and the Heman, Shibang tribe, and long-trouser barbarians who were forced to migrate before. The Shi Man, Shun Man, and Mo Man, who originally lived in Jianchuan, were forced to migrate to the vicinity of Tieqiao City. ”

"This is not a refugee camp, their Ge Luofeng father and son are really powerful." Xiao Quzhi smiled bitterly: "Do you say that Tubo gives them shelter and collects their taxes?" Or are these people doing well in Jianchuan? ”

"The Tibetans are brutal and lean heavy taxes on their own people, and how can they be soft-hearted to these fleeing people, so they will naturally collect heavier taxes." Duan Jianwei's eyes lit up: "King Lanling wants to be gentle with them?" ”

Xiao Quzhi nodded and said: "If Tubo really sees through our plan and does not enter Eryuan with the whole army, this king wants the king of Dali to send someone to take our people from Tiance Mansion and the Four Seas Trading Company to Jianchuan and Huairou Zhuman."

King Dali, do you think, Nanzhao has been destroyed, and Ge Luofeng was also taken to Chang'an by this king, and our Tiance army is equivalent to avenging these barbarians who fled to Jianchuan, right?

Secondly, my Tiance Army is the division of the king, the division of benevolence and righteousness, and we are only here to crusade against the Southern Zhao who is the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, and we are not hostile to other barbarians. And in addition to fighting, we can also build, and we have the ability to make the lives of local people better.

He told them that as long as they reattached to Datang, they could be exempted from paying taxes for three years, and our Sihai Trading Company would help them pay them, and the taxes in the future would be very light.

They can also get all kinds of good things, and whatever they want, the Four Seas Trading Company has it! We take some of our good things with us, and I don't believe that they are not tempted by these dirt buns! ”

Xiao Quzhi took out that I am a big tyrant, and I use money to settle everything, and I am happy when I talk about it, and what can be settled with money is not a problem at all.

Duan Jianwei's eyes lit up again, and he groaned for a while, and said to Ai Ai: "That...... Lanling King ...... We ...... Dali Prefecture"

"It's also exempt for three years, and the Four Seas Trading Company will help you pay it."

Xiao Quzhi didn't care about it, his mouth was open, Dali Prefecture was originally exempted in the first year, half of it was paid in the second year, and the taxes paid normally in the third year were also exempted all at once, which made Duan Jianwei so happy that he almost jumped up, and at the same time felt in his heart that Xiao Qubing was too stupid and too loser.

Xiao Quzhi looked at Duan Jianwei like a bun, and said in his heart How much money can he collect for such a small tax? Even if there is no tax for 20 years, the Four Seas Trading Company will not lose money.

Because the taxes here roughly refer to the agricultural tax and the poll tax, it is true that there is not much money to be collected, and the reason why they are taxed in the front is not for money, but for the ritual of domination, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the economic significance.

As for the shortfall of this tax revenue, it can be earned back by using cheap local labor and selling various commodities, and it can also open mines or something, Xiao Quzhi remembers that Yunnan is very rich in copper and gold mines, although it is not as good as Java Island, but it is in the forefront of Datang itself.

So Xiao Qubing waved his hand to let Hu Yueyuan hurry up to rest, and then called two staff members of the think tank, two stewards of the Four Seas Trading Company, and Cui Yang, Xiao Quzhi found that although this guy is a Confucian son, he is playing vertical and horizontal arts, and he is also clever, which can be of great use, and has promised that as long as he behaves well, he will let him catch the envoy of Anning City and guard eastern Yunnan.

Then a few people discussed a plan for the Huairou Jianchuan tribes with carrots and sticks in the tent, and they didn't say anything all night, and soon the next day, not long after the Seven Thousand Heavenly Ce Army had breakfast, a special combat team member rushed in, and when he saw Xiao Quai, he anxiously shouted: "Great Commander, the 10,000 Tubo army finished breakfast, and then didn't even care about the camp, and suddenly the whole army went north."
