The mouth of the pot was broken, and the sound of scolding resounded in the sky, and it was the Tang army and the Tubo soldiers who were scolding each other.

"Tubo dog, there is a kind of fight with grandpa for three hundred rounds."

"Ren Qingcuo, your mother asked you to come out and kowtow to Grandpa Tang to apologize!"

"Ren Qingcuo, you unfilial son, your mother was raped by Zampu and gave birth to an animal, and you actually recognized the thief as your father, and I am ashamed of your mother. You thief. ”

A group of loud-voiced Long Wujun scolded under the broken pot gate, saliva splashed, and the scolding was like thunder, which could be heard from afar.

Ren Qingcuo's face was pale, his hands were clenched into fists, his chest rose and fell sharply, but he did not lose his mind, gritted his teeth, and scolded word by word: "The hateful brother Tang Jun, I will break your corpses to pieces." Scold, scold, scold me. scolded Tang Jun back to his mother's belly. ”

The Tibetan soldiers received the order and pulled their throats to scold.

"Tang Jun, there is a kind of coming into the city and fighting with grandpa for a thousand rounds. The warriors of the Great Tibetan region will let you know how to write warriors. ”

"Tang Jun, aren't you amazing? How about breaking the spout of the pot? There's a kind of killing in. Come in. ”

Compared with the Tang Army, Tubo obviously lost the scolding battle.

Li Changguo, Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, Li Bai, Li Guangbi, and Li Sheng stood far away, listening to the two armies scolding each other, their brows tightened more and more, and the melancholy on their faces became stronger and stronger.

Curse warfare was a common tactic used in ancient warfare, and it was especially useful against generals who were impulsive, irritable, and prone to losing their minds. Often what the army can't do, all it takes is a scolding battle, and the generals can't help it, and lead the army out of the city to fight, and finally defeat the army and lose the city and land.

Li Changguo looked at the broken spout of the pot and felt that it was very tricky, so they came up with this ancient method.

Long Wujun was not unfamiliar with the scolding battle, he was very handy, and after a few days of scolding, the morale of the Tubo soldiers in the pass was so angry that they wanted to rush out of the city to fight to the death with the Tang army, but they were stopped by Ren Qingcuo.

Ren Qingcuo was a little arrogant, but he did not lose his senses, he knew very well that if he went out of the city to fight with the Tang army, it would be in the hands of the Tang army, and the broken mouth of the pot was likely to be lost. Because of this, he felt very uncomfortable, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, so he didn't go out of the city to fight.

"Although this man is arrogant, he is a good general. With him sitting here, it is too difficult to break the spout. Geshuhan sighed.

"Yes!" Guo Ziyi took over the conversation and said: "Renqingcuo can endure it, and if we don't go to the city to start a war with us, it will be difficult for us to succeed." It's a pity that we didn't bring the siege equipment, otherwise we would have been able to storm it. ”

This time to march into Jishi Mountain, it is impossible for the Longwu Army to come with siege equipment, and the siege equipment is very useful at the moment, but there is none, which is really regrettable.

"Guo Wushu doesn't have to worry, as long as the time comes, the siege equipment will come. The commander has already ordered the mobilization of siege equipment. Li Bai was relieved.

"I'm not in a hurry." Guo Ziyi shook his head and said: "Every day passes, my heart is heavy. It is said that he pacified Tubo as soon as possible, returned to Shihehuang, rested for a while, and then marched westward to compete with the big food, which is so desirable. ”

When it comes to marching into the big food, the light in everyone's eyes is even brighter.

The purpose of the Tang Dynasty to pacify Tubo is to be able to concentrate troops, horses, money, and grain to compete with the Great Food, if the Tibetan Dynasty cannot be pacified, the Tang Dynasty will not be able to compete with the Great Food, which is really anxious.

"Prison Army, why don't you speak." Li Guangbi was a little strange and aimed at Li Changguo.

After he reminded him, everyone found that Li Changguo was silent, a little curious, and their eyes were focused on Li Changguo.

"I'm thinking, even if we concentrate the siege equipment to launch a strong attack on the broken pot mouth, and keep bombarding all night and night, can we really blast open the broken pot mouth?" Li Changguo's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters.

"This ...... I guess I can. Ge Shuhan groaned: "The siege equipment of the Tang Dynasty is very powerful, and the city of Tubo is far inferior to the city of the Tang Dynasty, and it cannot stop our strong attack. ”

This is very unsubstantial, because it is generally true, but it does not apply to breaking the spout.

Tibet did not have developed science and technology, and it was far from being comparable with the Tang Dynasty in terms of building cities, and its cities were not as strong as those of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the broken spout is an exception, because the broken spout is made of solid bluestone strips, up to several zhang thick, and its solidity is no less than that of the Tang Dynasty's cities, even if there are a large number of crossbows, they may not be able to blast open the broken spout.

"Even if we can blast out, it will take us a long time." Li Changguo frowned, and then analyzed: "With such a strong city, even if it is bombarded all day and night, it will be difficult to succeed without half a load. A lot of things will happen in half a load, and even if we succeed in blasting it out, it will be difficult to calm down Tibet within the year. ”

If the Tang army had broken the pot in half a year, the time would have already passed the best time to use troops. In addition, the winter on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau came very early, and when the pass was broken, winter was coming, which was extremely unfavorable to the Tang army.

Even if the Tang army annihilated the main force of Tibet in one fell swoop, it would not be able to pursue it, and it would leave many hidden dangers.

If you want to pursue Tibet in an all-round way and stabilize Tibet in an all-round way, you will have to go in the coming year.

The hearts of the people sank.

Li Changguo's following words made their hearts cold: "When the news of the Tang Dynasty's large-scale attack on Tubo spreads, Da Shi will definitely advance eastward, and the Anxi Protectorate will be short of soldiers and food, how much time can it resist?" One year or two years? According to the strength of the Anxi Protectorate, it would be good to be able to withstand it for a year and a half. ”

The biggest problem of the Anxi Protectorate is that there are too few soldiers and horses. It was not that the Tang Dynasty did not want to increase its troops in the Western Regions, but because it was difficult to raise grain and grass in the Western Regions, its logistical supplies mainly relied on transportation from the interior, and there were too many troops to maintain.

"We have limited time, we must pacify Tibet within the year, and move westward in the coming year." Li Changguo clenched his fist with his right hand fiercely, and said in a deep voice: "If we can't pacify Tibet this year, the battle situation in the coming year is unpredictable, and if we advance eastward in a big way, we can be forced to withdraw our troops, no matter how private we are at that time!" ”

Da Shi was the greatest enemy of the Tang Dynasty, not Tibet.

If the Great Food advances eastward and Gao Xianzhi can't withstand it, the army of the Great Food will press towards the land of Hehuang, which is something that the Tang Dynasty cannot allow, because once the Great Food enters the land of Hehuang, it will be aimed at Chang'an, which is very unfavorable to the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, no matter how close Tubo was to extinction, even if there was only the last breath left, for the sake of the overall situation, the Tang Dynasty had to withdraw its troops to deal with Da Shi.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty did not have much time to pacify Tibet, and it could only be completed within the year.

What Li Changguo said was exactly the worry in everyone's hearts, and there was silence for a while.

"But we can't help it!" Li Guangbi spread his hands helplessly.

There was a gloom in everyone's hearts, but they nodded slightly, in approval.

Ge Shuhan, Guo Ziyi, and Li Guangbi were all famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, all of whom were able to stand alone and were full of wisdom. However, no one can do anything about this situation, because it is too difficult, even if the gods come, there may not be a way.

"I can't help it!" Li Changguo said loudly.

"Good! We want to. Li Changguo's words were too embarrassing, but the generals were in favor of it.

If you want to think of a good way, which is so easy, Li Changguo pointed to the mountain peak on the right and said, "Go and have a look at it." ”

It has been a few days since they came to the mouth of the broken pot, and Li Changguo and the others have not yet climbed the peaks on both sides, so everyone naturally has no objections, and the group heads towards the peaks on the right.

The peaks on both sides are in the shape of steps, the first layer of steps is as high as 100 zhang, and there is thick ice and snow, although it is difficult to walk, it is difficult for Li Changguo and them, they only need to wrap cloth on the soles of their feet, and they can climb up.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, Li Changguo and they finally climbed to the peak with great effort.

The cold wind is like a knife, blowing on the body, like a knife cutting meat, faintly painful. But everyone didn't care, and looked at the broken pot with wide eyes.

Condescendingly looking down at the broken spout, the broken spout is clearer, and the situation in the pass can be seen clearly.

After looking at it for a while, everyone began to discuss, you say a word, I say a word, and talk endlessly.

"If there's a huge piece of ice here, we'll collapse enough to bury most of the broken pot. If you get the giant ice on the opposite side, the whole pass will be buried. Li Bai looked at it for a while, took the lead in speaking, and then looked at the highest mountain peak dozens of miles away, and sighed: "It's a pity that Bing is not here." ”

This is equivalent to not saying this, but it is unanimously approved by everyone: "Yes! ”

Flooding Baggio Pass with ice was exciting for everyone, and if there was a huge piece of ice here, there would be no problem in breaking the spout of the pot.

The problem is that this can only be a good wish, the giant ice is on the highest mountain, dozens of miles away from here, even if it is ten times larger, it is impossible to bury the broken spout.

"It's a little farther." Ge Shuhan took over and said, "We don't need to bury the entire pass, we only need to bury a section so that the brothers can rush into the city." We can take the ice from somewhere else and bring it over and throw it down from here. ”

If the Long Wu Army can be allowed to rush into the city, with the strong combat power of the Long Wu Army, it is enough to knock down the broken pot mouth, this idea has a certain feasible surname, and everyone is excited: "Reasonable!" Reasonable! ”

"It's just a little farther away from the ice." Li Changguo nodded heavily, in approval, Ge Shuhan deserves to be a famous general.

"It's okay to stay away, we will definitely be able to do it, who called us Long Wujun?" Guo Ziyi's head was raised, her chest was straight, and she was full of confidence: "In a month, we can complete it." ”

"Although a month is a little longer, it is not bad to be able to pass this level in a month." For the Tang Dynasty, which was in dire need of time, although a month was a bit long, it was better than a year and a half, and everyone was in favor of it.

"It's a bit hard in a month. We really want to do it, the Tibetan dog will never let us act, will stop it, and add a lot of difficulties to us, no matter how much it can't be done in one month, and it will take two months if it is not good. Li Guangbi said abruptly.

Tubo will definitely not let the Tang army calmly arrange, and will send troops to stop the Tang army, which will definitely increase the difficulty.

"In two months, the spring flowers will bloom and the ice and snow will melt, and this plan will be difficult to carry out." Lee Kwang-pil said the conclusion.

The minds of the people who had just been alive suddenly sank.

"What can I do?" Ge Shuhan was helpless.

"Gah!"

A loud eagle's cry sounded, and an eagle spread its wings and flew, swept past Li Changguo and them in a range of dozens of feet, and flew straight towards the mouth of the broken pot.

The eagle flew like lightning, and after a short time, it grabbed a piece of mutton, flapped its wings and flew away.

The Tubo soldiers scolded and fired a volley of arrows, but Mao didn't shoot a single one.

The eagle crowed, as if celebrating victory, and soon disappeared into the sky.

"Hey! If only it were wings! Everyone saw it in their eyes and couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

"Overseer, what's wrong with you?" Everyone noticed that Lee Chang-kook was acting abnormally.

Li Changguo pointed with his right hand in the direction where the eagle disappeared, and his eyes became brighter and brighter, like a fierce cry above the nine heavens.
