Chang'an, Lin De Palace, Li Longji tightened his eyebrows, and his right hand waved lightly, pushing the soup handed over by Yang Guifei to the side.

"Your Majesty, you don't eat or drink like this, how can the dragon body stand it?" Yang Guifei's good-looking eyebrows furrowed, and her words sounded crisp like heavenly sounds.

"I don't have the heart to eat and drink." Li Longji shook his head slightly, and said: "Li Changguo, they have already acted, how are they fighting, but I have no news at all, I am worried." ”

Yang Guifei persuaded: "Your Majesty, no matter how the battle goes, you have to eat this meal, right?" Your Majesty has not entered the ...... for two days and two nights."

"Alright, don't say it. You go down first, and let me live quietly. Li Longji tightened his eyebrows, paced, and complained: "This Li Changguo doesn't send me some news, so that I am worried, hum, I want you to look good." ”

Yang Guifei smiled, like a hundred flowers blooming, and said, "Your Majesty, are you willing to do it?" ”

"What's not to do?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows, quite a little powerful: "They make me worry so much, I punish and punish them, right?" ”

Yang Guifei pursed her lips tightly and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are full of smiles when you arrive, waving at Li Changguo, Li Changguo is coming, come quickly." ”

The jade hand was lightly raised, and he learned Li Longji's actions, which were vivid.

"There is no need for big punishments, small punishments are enough, small punishments are enough." Li Longji smiled on his face, and said with a little praise: "Li Changguo, this kid, can always do unexpected things, I hope this time I can surprise again." ”

Before he could say a word, he saw Chen Xuanli rushing in as if he was flying, and shouted from afar: "Your Majesty, military report, military report." Li Changguo, these rabbit cubs, finally remembered to send a military report to Chang'an. ”

"Huh, these!" Chen Xuanli's words went to Li Longji's heart, complained, rushed over, snatched the military report from Chen Xuanli's hand, looked at it, and frowned again: "It's not good news, it's not bad news, these little cubs are making a lot of trouble?" ”

"Oh, Your Majesty, don't you know what kind of mystery he has?" Chen Xuanli hurriedly reminded.

Li Longji agreed with this very much, opened the military newspaper three or two times, and at a glance, his eyes widened sharply, his beard was straight, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Chen Xuanli's eyes widened, his neck stretched out to compare with a giraffe, and he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, is it good news or bad news?" ”

"Is there nothing else in the military report except the news of the good news and the defeat?" Li Longji raised the military newspaper in his hand, raised his chin slightly, and said with a smile: "Chen Lao'er, guess what, where did these rabbit cubs hit?" ”

"This ......" really stumped Chen Xuanli, and he groaned slightly: "It's good to be able to play three or five levels, and hit four levels." He came to a compromise.

Seeing the joy on Li Longji's face, he hurriedly changed his words: "No, no, look at Your Majesty so happy, Wuguan." ”

"The older you get, the more timid you become, and you don't dare to think about it. I'm telling you, these little cubs have reached the last level, and they have already garrisoned the pot to break the mouth. Li Longji's voice was high, quite shrill and harsh.

"The last level?" Chen Xuanli was startled, jumped a few feet, couldn't believe it, and asked hesitantly: "Your Majesty, you didn't lie to the minister, right?" ”

"See for yourself." Li Longji handed the military report to Chen Xuanli.

Chen Xuanli quickly grabbed it, looked at it with wide eyes, his eyes were round, and after looking at it a few more times, he was still a little incredulous, and stammered: "There are no less than ten dangerous passes in the stone mountain, and the seats are like stone castle cities. How do they do it? ”

Li Longji stroked his forehead and said in a deep voice: "These little cubs have a hand in fighting, and they have a hand in selling guanzi, but they don't even write in detail, this is to make me uncomfortable, hum!" ”

Although he was complaining, he was full of smiles on his face, and he was very satisfied with Li Changguo's performance.

"Your Majesty, the concubine just said, you can't bear it." Yang Guifei handed over the soup again.

Li Longji took it in his hand, drank it all in a few sips, and said with a smile: "The problem of selling Guanzi can't be spoiled, I want to make an order to count them well." Hitting the mouth of the pot is something that has not happened in China for thousands of years, and they didn't let it know, and they were angry. ”

The white beard is straight. It's no wonder that who doesn't want to know the specific process when they were hit here for the first time in thousands of years?

"Your Majesty, don't be busy complaining first, or discuss first, how to deal with it." Chen Xuanli hurriedly reminded.

"Gao Lishi, bring Li Linfu and the crown prince?" Li Longji nodded heavily and instructed Gao Lishi to deliver the message.

Taking advantage of this effort, Li Longji drank bowl after bowl of soup, and he didn't know how many bowls he drank in one breath, and his eyebrows turned upward, and he was extremely happy.

It didn't take long for Li Linfu and the crown prince Li Heng to arrive one after another, and they were all very excited when they heard that the Tang army had reached the mouth of the pot. In addition to being excited, they complained again, the reason was that Ge Shuhan did not report the process of seizing the pass, they wanted to know but could not get it, so they could only complain about Li Changguo and them.

"Okay, don't complain, let's talk about it first, what should Datang do next?" Li Longji waved his hand to stop Li Linfu from complaining.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is extremely difficult to break the mouth of the pot, and it is not appropriate for the Tang Dynasty to withdraw the army, but to consume with Tubo, and the mouth of the pot must be captured." Chen Xuanli spoke first and said, "Even if it takes ten or eight years, I will not hesitate to do it." ”

"Father, son-in-law approves." The crown prince Li Heng echoed loudly.

"Hmm!" Li Longji nodded slightly, looked at Li Linfu, and asked, "What about the prime minister?" ”

Li Linfu didn't answer immediately, but muttered for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not easy to break the mouth of the pot, and the Tang Dynasty cannot withdraw its troops." The plan for a big battle with Tubo in Dafeichuan is about to change, and Datang must break through the mouth of the pot. ”

"yes." Li Longji groaned: "There is only such a good opportunity in China for thousands of years, and we must not miss it in vain, and the plan for a big war with Tubo in Dafeichuan is to be changed." Originally, it was expected that it would be good to be able to lay down a few passes, in that case, if you can't advance or retreat, it's better to give up the passes, lure Tubo to Dafeichuan, and then duel the male and female. Now, there is only one last pass left, and it will not be given up no matter what. ”

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said: "It's not a good strategy to break the mouth of the pot and spend it in Tubo, no one can say how much time Gao Xianzhi can last, I have to plan in advance." ”

If you get the news that the Tang army is trapped on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, you will definitely attack the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, with Gao Xianzhi's little force, it is difficult to resist, and it will be very good to be able to top it for a year and a half.

"Big Food!" Li Longji, Chen Xuanli, Li Linfu, and Prince Li Heng snorted coldly in unison, very dissatisfied.

If it weren't for the Great Food to contain the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty would have spent ten or eight years with Tibet on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and would not be afraid.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that since you don't have energy consumption, you should launch a strong attack." Li Linfu's eyes flashed, and he said: "It is limited to one year, if it can't be defeated, Datang will withdraw its troops." The army retreated to the land of the river and prepared to march westward. Leaving 350,000 troops to garrison Dafeichuan, and then attack and break Hukou. ”

Speaking of this, his voice turned higher and said: "As long as the mouth of the pot is broken, the army of the Tang Dynasty will be able to enter the hinterland of Tubo, and Tubo can be destroyed at any time. ”

This arrangement is definitely a good arrangement, Li Longji and Chen Xuanli nodded heavily and agreed with it. Even the crown prince Li Heng, who was at odds with Li Linfu, also had a glint in his eyes and nodded slightly.

"A year, almost. They can only be given Li Changguo a year, not more. Li Longji wrenched his fingers and counted the time account: "It will take one year to attack and break the Hukou, and it will take another year to pacify Tubo and stabilize the situation, and the army will stay in Tubo for two years." In the past two years, if Dashi advances eastward, Gao Xianzhi will be difficult to resist, once the four towns of Anxi are lost, it is nothing, Datang can still regain them, and Datang has not lost the four towns of Anxi. The problem is that once the army of Great Food is in the land of the river and points its sword at Chang'an, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, the Anxi Protectorate cannot afford to lose, and two years is the largest estimate. ”

This account is very clear, what the Tang Dynasty needs is time, and the Arab Empire and Tibet are embarrassed and will not give the Tang Dynasty time, so the time for the Tang Dynasty to pacify Tibet is extremely limited.

"Yes, I decided to mobilize siege equipment and bombard the broken spout of the pot all night and night, I don't believe it, and I can't open a broken spout!" Li Longji's eyebrows twisted, like a sharp sword out of the sheath, extremely powerful.

The Tang Dynasty had a lot of heavy siege equipment, and if it arrived, it would bombard the broken spout, and it was likely to open the broken spout.

"Although it is difficult to break the mouth of the pot, it is not Stone Castle City after all." Chen Xuanli took over and said: "In Shibao City, Datang's siege equipment is out of reach, and it is useless, so you can only use people to charge. The terrain of the broken pot mouth is much more open than that of Shibao City, and the siege equipment of the Tang Dynasty can be placed in handy. As long as there are enough instruments, you will definitely be able to blast open the broken spout. ”

The crowd nodded their heads in agreement.

The reason why Shibao City is difficult to fight is that the terrain is unfavorable, and the range of large-scale siege equipment in the Tang Dynasty is not enough, so it is useless. You must know that there is only one mountain road in Stone Castle City, and not a single large machine can be placed, so you can only rely on people to charge.

Although it is difficult to break the mouth of the pot, it is an open terrain, and the large weapons of the Tang Dynasty can come in handy.

"The crossbow, transfer the crossbow, I don't believe it, and I can't break the mouth of the pot!" Li Longji stood up violently, his eyes were full of light, his expression was extremely powerful, and he swallowed Heyue angrily.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Li Linfu's face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?" Li Longji stared at Li Linfu.

"Your Majesty, there are not many crossbows, less than a hundred." Li Linfu hesitated for a moment and replied cautiously.

The crossbow was one of the most powerful siege equipment in the Tang Dynasty, with a diameter of more than one foot and a length of five or eight feet.

"Why so little?" Li Longji's eyes rolled, and his eyes flashed.

To break through the mouth of the pot, crossbows are indispensable, and there are less than a hundred, so he can't be angry.

"Your Majesty, although the crossbow is a siege weapon, it is too cumbersome, and it is rarely used in the Tang Dynasty, so there are not many of them." Li Linfu hurriedly explained.

Although the Tang Dynasty destroyed dozens of countries, after all, it was mostly nomads. The nomads had no city to defend, and the large siege equipment of the Tang Dynasty was useless, so there was no need to build so much.

Li Longji understood, and said: "All the existing ones will be transferred to Li Changguo and them, and then let the weapons be built superintendently, and they will build as many as they want." Even if I break a mouthful of teeth, I have to gnaw the broken spout! ”
