Li Siye shook his head and was already very tactfully opposed, and many of them turned their heads to each other and talked softly.

"The brave captain is the first fierce general of the Anxi Protectorate, brave and invincible, no one is his opponent, I admire it very much. However, this brave and invincible and good at planning are two different things, and they are incompatible! Brave may not be good at planning, and Captain Brave doesn't know this. ”

"General Feng is resourceful and good at strategizing, and his plan is also admired by the deputy capital protector. Captain Xiao Yong is not only brave, but also wise, but compared with General Feng, it is still far inferior. ”

"This Li Siye, he is friendly with Captain Xiaoyong, why didn't he stop him? Isn't this a shame? ”

Listening to everyone's discussions, Gao Xianzhi frowned and snorted lightly: "Hmph!" ”

His orders were extremely strict, and the generals knew that he intended to defend Li Changguo, so they didn't dare to talk about it anymore and obediently shut up.

"Huh!" Gao Xianzhi successfully made everyone shut up, and then smiled at Li Changguo: "Li Changguo not only fought well, but also knew how to laugh, come, do it!" Raise your glass.

He deliberately relieved Li Changguo and diverted the topic. If Li Changguo's method is not as good as Feng Changqing, wouldn't it be embarrassing? He had good intentions.

Gao Xianzhi talked about this, and it stands to reason that Li Changguo should get off the donkey down the slope and stop there. However, what is unexpected is that Li Changguo smiled and said: "Vice President Xie is kind!" Words or non-words lie in me, good at whether they are good or not, and they are in the vice-guard. If the deputy is good, please choose the good and accept it. ”

If you don't fight, you won't be able to go to Chang'an, and if you can't go to Chang'an, you won't be able to change history. Chang'an, that was the center of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to change history, you must enter Chang'an, you have no choice.

"In that case, then you can say it!" Gao Xianzhi stared at Li Changguo, and saw that Li Changguo insisted on speaking, so he had to agree.

"Thank you, vice guard!" Li Changguo knew that he had good intentions, thanked him, and then rushed to Feng Changqing and said: "What General Feng said is extremely reasonable, but I think that even if General Feng enters Chang'an, he will not be able to invite reinforcements or transfer more ordnance, grain and grass!" ”

"Why?" Feng Changqing's analysis was extremely reasonable, but he didn't expect Li Changguo to veto him, Feng Changqing was very unconvinced, raised his eyebrows, and blurted out.

"Yes!" Gao Xianzhi frowned and said, "Li Changguo, you don't want to talk nonsense!" Now, we have laid down the small Bolu, and the Anxi Protectorate no longer has any worries, it is a good opportunity to concentrate troops and compete with the Great Food, Your Majesty is wise, and will definitely send more troops and more ordnance. ”

Yixi's words were very reasonable, and the generals nodded in agreement.

"Because Tubo occupies Shibao City, it is holding back the land of Hehuang and threatening the Hexi Corridor!" Lee Chang-guk's voice is slightly higher.

"Stone Castle?"

Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing's eyes lit up suddenly, as if they had thought of something.

"Stone Castle?"

Although Li Siye was surprised, he didn't know why.

"Smack!"

Feng Changqing's right hand slapped heavily on his forehead, and he said suddenly: "Deputy Du Protector, Feng Changqing miscalculated, miscalculated!" ”

"Not only did you miscalculate, but I also miscalculated!" Gao Xianzhi stroked his forehead and said in a deep voice: "I thought that if I defeated Xiao Bolu, the Anxi Protectorate had no worries, and I could concentrate my forces to compete with the Great Food, but I forgot about Shibao City!" If it hadn't been for Li Changguo, I would have really forgotten. ”

After a slight pause, he smiled at Li Changguo, very kind, and his appreciation increased greatly, and said: "Li Changguo, in your opinion, what should we do?" ”

Gao Xianzhi's talent as a famous general was just a momentary miscalculation, and he was reminded by Li Changguo and immediately woke up.

"Yes!" Feng Changqing also understood, and looked at Li Changguo, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Deputy Protector, in my opinion, although the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has no worries at the moment, it is not enough troops, insufficient ordnance, and not abundant food and grass, so it is not suitable to fight with Dashi." Li Changguo had already thought about it, and said slowly: "If you want the Anxi Protectorate to have more troops, more ordnance, and more grain and grass, you should play to Your Majesty and say that you will conquer the Stone Fort City as soon as possible." ”

Shibao City was built on the occasion of Emperor Yang of Sui's western tour, although it is not large, it is a majestic pass, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Shibao City was occupied by Tibet, and the legacy was endless.

Shibao City is held on the main road that Tubo must pass through to enter the river, this pass is in hand, Tubo is free to advance and retreat, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and can enter the land of the river at any time.

In order to guard against Tibet, more than 100,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty were stationed in the northwest. A stone fortress city contained so many troops in the Tang Dynasty, so that the Tang Dynasty could not put more troops, ordnance, grain and grass into the Western Regions.

Historically, Gao Xianzhi defeated Xiao Bolu, Ge Shuhan defeated Shibao City, and Gao Xianzhi launched the Battle of Talas, which seemed to have no relationship with each other, but they were closely connected and interlocked.

Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were enemies, and there were two directions, the west was to fight for the four towns of Anxi through Xiaobolu; The east is to threaten the land of Hehuang through Shibao City, and the effect on the Tang Dynasty is obvious.

It is precisely because of this that after Gao Xianzhi defeated Xiao Bolu, in order to put more troops and ordnance into the Western Regions and compete with the Great Food, the shrewd Li Longji decided to attack Shibao City. At that time, Wang Zhonghe, the envoy of the Four Towns Festival, knew that Shibao City was very difficult to fight, and he opposed it vigorously, which made Li Longji angry, although Wang Zhongsi was the adopted son of Li Longji, he still demoted him.

In the face of Li Longji's tremendous pressure, Ge Shuhan had to send troops to attack Shibao City. After paying a huge price, Ge Shuhan finally "took the purple robe from the West Tushi Fort" and sealed Tubo in the high mountains and dense forests of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the threat of the land of the river was lifted.

The land of Hehuang was no longer threatened by Tibet, and the Tang Dynasty was able to put more troops and ordnance into the Western Regions, which led to the famous "Battle of Talas".

"I'm in a hurry!"

Gao Xianzhi blamed himself, and rushed to Feng Changqing: "General Feng, what do you think?" ”

"Deputy Protector, the last general thinks that it is more appropriate for the brave captain to report the victory!" Feng Changqing, a person with a strong mind, is not as good as Li Changguo, he directly admits that he will not love to repair his mouth.

Not only that, Feng Changqing looked at Li Changguo and admired it very much. He had already promised Li Changguo a friend of life and death, and he already had a good impression of Li Changguo, but he didn't expect Li Changguo's views to be even better than him, and he had a higher opinion of Li Changguo.

"Li Changguo, it's up to you to report the victory!" Gao Xianzhi looked at Li Changguo appreciatively, smiling, very comfortable.

Li Changguo is brave and invincible, not to mention, he is so clear and insightful, even the scheming Feng Changqing is not as good, and Gao Xianzhi will not be happy.

"Thank you, vice guard!" Li Changguo saluted and thanked him.

"You go to Chang'an this time, shoulder a heavy responsibility!" Gao Xianzhi's face was serious, and he said, "No matter what, you have to prompt the imperial court to send troops to Shibao City!" Only by defeating the Stone Castle City will the Anxi Protectorate have more troops and compete with the Great Food! ”
