Xiao Quzhi also sighed: "The situation is like this, what do you say you can do?" If you have to trace back to the source, it is not that Emperor Taizong was deceived by the deference of these Hu people at that time, and let them live in the heart of Hebei.

There was a problem with our policy, and it was too late to find out, and there were more and more things later, and no one dared to solve the problem, and there was no time to solve this problem, so that this cancer was getting bigger and bigger!

Now that we are determined to remove this cancer and solve this problem, how can we do it in a gentle breeze and rain without pain or bloodshed? Master is also a human being, not an immortal.

Besides, your grandfather is still very fond of that Youzhou Hu'er, this time the fat man asked His Majesty to have a blank letter of appointment, and His Majesty actually gave it.

Hehe, five hundred generals, two thousand lieutenant generals, this is enough to arm the entire army of the Tang Dynasty, Your Majesty didn't even think about it, so he agreed! What do you think we can do? Did he send someone to assassinate An Lushan and Shi Siming, or did he say that An Lushan would rebel?

Besides, if you don't experience a miserable experience, how can Datang remember this lesson, and how can you reverse this policy?

However, fortunately, we have made a very good example in Youzhou and Dangxiang Qiqiang, and now the six states of Huhe and Dangxiang Qiang in those two places have lived more than twice as well as before after changing the land and returning to the people and organizing households to gather the people.

I think it would be much easier for us to defeat An Lushan and Shi Siming, and kill most of the murderous and robbing addicted Hebei Hu soldiers, and then implement our new policy in Hebei and the whole of Datang, under the stick and carrots. ”

After a pause, Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "As for the beautiful picture you said, Dugi Province has built such a good home, and so many people live and work in peace and contentment on this land, and live happily. These are exactly what we have achieved. And guarding this hard-won paradise on earth is your mission and mine, are you afraid? ”

Li Qi slapped the railing vigorously and said loudly: "Master, you know me, how can I be afraid." I just don't want our hard work to be ruined by war. ”

He became emotional: "Hmph, isn't it just 270,000 brute soldiers who don't understand discipline and have no trust? We promise not to let them enter the Wujiao Pass, but if it doesn't work, we can also send a fleet directly to Youzhou to raid his hometown! ”

Xiao Quzhi said with a smile: "What I said is, I think he wants to rebel, it will take at least a year, we have a year to prepare, and then we have a way to deal with him, I don't believe in modern troops equipped with rockets and banned orders." You won't be able to beat a bunch of brutes! ”

The development of black~fire~medicine, Li Qi also participated, naturally knew the power, and at the same time knew the secret of the original battle of Mulu, he also laughed.

Then, he began to talk about another matter: "Master, the people who went to Nanzhao to inquire about intelligence and draw maps have returned, and they have gone to ten. Only four came back, but fortunately, the task was successfully completed! ”

"How did you die?" Xiao Quzhi took the information and map handed over by Li Qi. I also twitched in my heart, these days the secret guards were all selected by themselves, and after all kinds of special cruel training, they were basically equal to the special forces of later generations, and they actually sacrificed six at once!

Li Qi said gloomily: "Two were found besieged and died when they were searching for information, and three were passing on information. After covering his comrades-in-arms to stay behind, one of them was in Nanzhao who didn't know whether he was poisoned or Gu, and suddenly fell ill on the way back, and died when he was about to reach Luoyang. ”

"Did you bring the body back? Call our best doctor for a check-up. ”

"I made arrangements before I came."

Xiao Quzhi looked at the information sent back, and frowned: "Wait a minute, you can arrange it." Their families should give the heaviest pension, and the children should be trained in the martyr's class;

There are also their deeds, ask the remaining four people to ask them clearly, record them, and give them a monument after the end of the Nanzhao War, and let the storyteller under the name of the Four Seas Trading Company tell their stories.

We can't let them sacrifice in vain, we have to let the people of Luoyang, the people of Dugi Province, and the whole of Datang know who is guarding their beautiful life! ”

Li Qi nodded: "Xiao Qi wrote it down." ”

Seeing that Xiao Quai's brows were getting tighter and tighter, Li Qi began to introduce: "The battle of Nanzhao was lost, and it was all lost in the terrain and miasma!" Na Xian Yu Zhongtong and Yang Guozhong wanted to do their best to destroy Nanzhao in one fell swoop, so they wanted to directly attack Taihe City, the capital of Nanzhao, both times.

But the terrain of Taihe City is too good! The location of Taihe City is a narrow plain about 100 miles long from north to south and 16 miles wide from east to west. The east of Taihe City is adjacent to the Erhai Lake, and the waterway attack is not allowed, because the east side of the Erhai Lake is also a mountain, and the rivers in the north and south can only pass by small boats and are guarded by the city;

The west of Taihe City is towering in Cangshan, the peaks are listed, the peaks are covered with snow all the year round, it is extremely difficult to cross the Cangshan Mountain to attack Taihe City, and it is very easy to ambush, the first time Wang Tianyun's 20,000 troops are not in the Cangshan ambush?

The east and west sides are extremely difficult, then only take the north-south route, Nanzhao in the northernmost part of this narrow plain, the narrowest place to build the Longshou Pass, the west is Cangshan Yunlong Peak, the east is the Erhai Lake, the terrain is dangerous, it can be said that a husband is a pass and ten thousand people do not open, it is extremely difficult to attack.

The terrain in the south is slightly wider, Nanzhao built Longwei City between the Xi'er River and Cangshan Mountain, the outlet of the Erhai Lake, the high mountains in the west are dangerous, and the Xi'er River in the east is a natural moat, which is also easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This time, Li Mi led 100,000 soldiers and 100,000 auxiliary soldiers who were responsible for the transportation of grain, grass and baggage, and attacked Nanzhao with the strength of the whole sword, and the plan was to attack Longshouguan and Longwei City in the north and south at the same time, and at the same time build a shipyard on the east bank of the Erhai Lake, rush to build warships, and prepare for a three-way attack.

But in the end, it was broken by Nanzhao, first the shipyard was destroyed, the Tang army on the east bank suffered heavy losses, and then at Longshou Pass and the Tubo army flanked Li Mi's army, and annihilated it all; Although He Luguang in the south broke through Longwei City, and the troops approached Taihe City, at this time, the main force of Nanzhao had already eliminated Li Mi's army to return to help, and finally could only return in vain.

In addition, Nanzhao did have miasma, and our soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil there, and their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Master, our Tiance army only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, how can we fight this battle? If the loss is too great, what if Youzhou Hu suddenly rebels~? ”

In fact, although Xian Yu Zhongtong and Li Mi's ability to command the army is a scumbag, the strategy formulated by the two is basically no problem.

Nanzhao Yuer small state, the strength is only concentrated in the core area near the capital, as long as they capture their capital, basically they will be destroyed, unlike the big country, even if the capital is occupied, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory, this is the biggest difference between the two.

So when I sent troops to Nanzhao this time, the target was also the other party's Taihe City. In fact, Xiao Qu fell ill and didn't know that many people in Gyeonggi Province and Guannai Province were preparing for the central people to come to Luoyang to beg him to send troops, but he wanted to fight Nanzhao.

I don't want to see Nanzhao consuming too much national strength of the Tang Dynasty is a reason, and presumably another time and space, this Tiance 3,000 veterans are lost in Nanzhao, otherwise how could it be so difficult to defend Luoyang later? But the more important reason is that Xiao Qubing wants to train the army.

Of the 27,000 Tiance recruits, less than 3,000 have ever fought, and the rest are at most Maitreya and Manichaean believers, no matter how hard they train every day, no matter how good the food is, no matter how strong they are, no matter how good their endurance and perseverance are, they are recruits who have not been on the real battlefield, if they are directly pulled to the frontal battlefield against the Youzhou Hu Cavalry, Xiao Qubing does not dare to guarantee what the consequences will be.

Therefore, Nanzhao is the most ideal touchstone and sparring partner!

"Have you seen this information and map by Li Sheng, Ma Sui, General Qin and General Cao?"

"Not yet, Li Sheng and Ma Sui are training soldiers in the colonel's field, General Qin and General Cao have led the team to conduct field training, I have already sent someone to inform them, and we will have a meeting in the war room after dinner!" (To be continued.) )
