Leon is well aware that his past achievements are not enough, and he must continue to create new value, so that he will not be eliminated as waste.

When he returned to his official residence from Xiao Luan's residence, it was close to the third watch, but he found that the study was still lit, and Li Mi was pondering something in front of a map.

"What are you thinking about?" Li Ang moved the candle flame and looked at the map carefully, feeling a little distressed, the current map is very scarce and precious, unlike in later generations, even on the stalls can be seen everywhere. It's not easy to get a relatively detailed map.

Li Mi twisted his sore neck, and then replied: "Li Changshi, there are many cavalry in Tubo, and among the more than 70,000 troops in my Longyou, the number of cavalry is only more than 10,000. In addition, we are mainly agricultural, and in the face of Tibet, we are destined to focus on defense most of the time. Before seizing Shibao and the Yellow River Jiuqu land, Longyou's defense system was relatively thorough, but now that so much land has been newly developed, the defensive front has also advanced a lot, especially the line of Shibao, Jishi Mountain, and the Yellow River Jiuqu, there are inevitably many loopholes, although the imperial court has added Jintian, Weisheng, and Wuning, but this can only stop the Tubo army from attacking, if it is a small group of cavalry to loot, there are still many loopholes to drill. Li Changshi, please see, Tongde, Jindao, Baimeigou, the southern foot of Sangzhi Mountain, Maqu, Yuandong, Ruoergai, these places all have loopholes in defense, and the cavalry of about 1,000 people in Tubo can come from these places to sneak attack. Therefore, it is necessary for us to build some walled cities in these places......"

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Secret, it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a city and a pond, according to my opinion, it is better to attack instead of defending." ”

"Does Li Changshi know about Maozhu?"

Leon didn't know why he suddenly asked, and shook his head.

"The whole growth process of moso bamboo, it took four years to grow an inch, but from the fifth year, it can grow at a speed of ten inches every day, and it can grow forty or fifty feet in only thirty or forty days, which is difficult to achieve by most other plants. Does Li Changshi know why? ”

Li Ang didn't understand Maozhu, so he could only shake his head again.

"In fact, in the first four years, the growth of moso bamboo is not slow, but you can't see it, it took four years to extend the roots of the ground to dozens of square meters around, and it is precisely because of this that it can have such an amazing growth rate in the fifth year."

Li Mi's words gave Li Ang a lot of inspiration, Mao Zhu is like this, how can it not be like doing things for people, the roots are not strong, how can it be said to live forever quickly, even if it grows, it will be blown down by a gust of wind.

In the face of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty is naturally at a disadvantage, the Tubo cavalry comes and goes like the wind, if you don't arrange the defense system first, it will be difficult to drive straight in, otherwise the enemy only needs to send a partial division to counterattack, and you can make your rear a big mess.

The last time Li Ang led 50 light cavalry deep behind the enemy's rear, he was able to break through the Tibetan tribes and force Dazarukon's 50,000 troops to retreat hurriedly, which is the most obvious example.

Li Ang arched his hand to Li Mi and said, "Li Ang has been taught!" Tomorrow, I will summon the officials and generals of the embassy to carry out the repair of the city according to the defense plan drawn up by the gentleman. ”

Li Mi said: "Li Changshi doesn't have to be like this, this kind of thing has to be discussed with Cui Sima and others, Li Changshi can also think about it first, Li Mi's opinion is inevitably inconsiderate." ”

Li Ang said with a smile: "I don't doubt the use of people, as for discussing with Cui Sima and others, it is natural." I'm not going to preside over the construction of the city myself, hahaha......."

When Li Ang's voice fell, Li Mi continued: "Li Changshi must have seen someone from the Subi Division, right? ”

At this point, Li Ang didn't need to hide it from him anymore, so he said: "I've seen it, but it's not realistic to think about such a big thing at once, I have asked her to go back and tell Princess Zhuoma of the Subi tribe that I am going to meet with that Princess Zhuoma, and it will be better to talk to Princess Zhuoma in person about this matter." ”

Li Mi asked meaningfully, "Is Li Changshi sure that Princess Zhuoma is willing to come and meet you?" ”

"Well, you don't have to worry about this." Li Ang has never made it clear about his relationship with Princess Zhuoma, although Li Mi may have guessed a rough idea, he didn't ask again, "Mi, how are you going to lobby for this part of the Party Department, do you have a belly case?" ”

Li Mi shook his head and said: "You have to contact the leader of the party department first, and the others will have room to show." There is a merchant in Shanzhou City, named Ye Lisu, who is a party member, and has been trading with the party tribes in the Dafeichuan area for many years, I have asked him to help contact the party leader Tuoba Mountain, but there is one thing that is not optimistic, I just heard that Tuoba Mountain's father Tuoba Helan died under the knife of the White Water Army envoy Wang Rare, Tuoba Mountain is young and vigorous, and he has vowed in public to kill the White Water Army to make it difficult for Wang to avenge his father, so without the consent of Tubo Zampu, twice led the party headquarters to attack the White Water Army across the cow heart pile. Although the two offenses were all returned, Tuoba Mountain's desire to kill the king to avenge his father has not changed, so it may be difficult to persuade Tuoba Mountain to join the Tang Dynasty. ”

Things in the world often seem easy at first glance, but when you really want to do them, you find that things are much more complicated than you imagined.

The last time Dazaru Gong led 50,000 Tubo troops to invade Longyou, Wang rarely beheaded the Tubo forward generals in front of the two armies, and severely demoralized the Tubo morale. When Dong Yanguang stormed the stone fort, he also took Wang Rare as the vanguard, and Dong Yanguang took a fancy to Wang Rare's bravery.

Such a general who has repeatedly made military exploits, Datang must not be sacrificed at will, but if Wang is not sacrificed, it is really difficult to persuade Tuoba Mountain, the leader of the Xiang Party, who has a grudge against Wang Rare to kill his father, to join Datang.

Li Ang frowned, clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, and said in a deep voice: "If you can't be convinced, then fight, pick the party department and beat until Tuoba Shanken bows his head." ”

The party department that returned to Tubo is now mainly nomadic in the north and east shores of Qinghai Lake, these places, and the Baishui Army and the Anren Army in Longyou face each other across the Red Ridge, as long as the Tang Army crosses the Red Ridge, the Party Department can be said to bear the brunt, and it is Li Ang who dares to say that it will fight until the Tuoba Mountain is soft.

Li Mi thought for a while and said, "It seems that if you really want to surrender Tuoba Mountain, you really have to be prepared for a few battles." ”

Li Mi said and took the scissors and cut off the wick a little, in this era, the candle is very expensive, ordinary people can't afford it, when the rich people light the candle, they should also be saved, if they don't cut off the excess wick when lighting the candle, let it hang down, the candle will burn much faster. It is Li Shangyin who has the poem "Why should he cut the candles in the west window, but when it rains at night in Bashan", which is a digression.

However, when talking about such a major issue, he still cares about cutting the wick, which shows his open-mindedness and calmness, which is the quality that a person who does great things should have. At this point, Li Ang also had to admit that he was really inferior to Li Mi.

"Tubo must be unwilling to lose the land of the Yellow River, this time I expelled the Tubo envoys, and the Zhudan sue for peace could not be achieved, and it is very likely that a violent reaction will be made, and if we build additional fortifications on the border, it will further stimulate Tubo. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that it is very likely that Tibet has invaded in the near future. However, this is an opportunity, if I am not bad, if the Tubo army comes again this time, the first target must be the Shudun City, Da Momen City, and Wanxiu City that are wedged into Tubo. This is an opportunity for us. ”

After Li Ang finished speaking, Li Mi immediately said: "What does Li Changshi mean is to use Shudun City, Da Momen City, and Wanxiu City as bait to attract the attention of Tubo, and then attack the party headquarters with strange soldiers?" ”

"Hmm."

Li Mi immediately thought about the feasibility, and Li Ang waited for a while before continuing: "However, what is worrying is that if Tubo wants to attack on a large scale, it will not wait for the city fortifications to be repaired in places such as Tongde, Jindao, Baimeigou, the southern foot of Sangzhi Mountain, Maqu, Yuandong, and Ruoergai that Mr. said earlier. Now Shudun City, Da Momen City, and Wanxiu City are divided into Jin Tianjun, Weisheng Army, and Wuning Army, plus the original fortifications of these cities are very good, so there is no need to worry about losing them for a while, but it is worrying that the Tubo people will invade from these places mentioned by Mr. at the same time, and take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry to attack everywhere. The land of the Yellow River has just been annexed to the Tang Dynasty, the people's hearts have not been attached, and our army's foothold has not been stable. ”

Li Mi looked at the map and nodded: "Li Changshi is thoughtful, in view of this, I think it can be like this, if Tubo really besieges the Jintian Army, Weisheng Army, and Wuning Army with heavy troops, and then divides the troops from Jindao, Baimeigou, the southern foot of Sangzhi Mountain, Maqu, Yuandong, and Ruoergai to attack, we will defend with infantry, first thwart the spirit of the Tubo army, and at the same time reserve 10,000 cavalry, if the battle situation is unfavorable, these 10,000 cavalry can be put into battle at any time, if Tubo is blocked under the fortified city, when the army is withdrawn, if there is a chance, We pursued with these 10,000 cavalry, striving to cut off one of their arms, and if there was no chance, these 10,000 cavalry immediately marched westward and attacked the party headquarters in a hurry through the ox heart. ”

After listening to Li Yu's plan, Li Ang felt that it was very feasible, this 10,000 cavalry, try to retain their strength, wait for the change of the battle situation and then adapt to the situation, this is probably the most important and feasible plan.

"Okay, just do what Mr. said, tomorrow this matter must also be arranged as soon as possible, as the so-called prepared, the Tubo soldiers and horses will not come, if they come, they will let him return again."

Now there is no ambassador of Jiedu in Longyou, and Li Ang, the "chief of staff", is the actual commander of Longyou, and there are many things, but fortunately, Li Mi helped to plan, which made him a lot easier.

I just don't know if the ruler belt Zhudan will be angry this time, and it will attack again.
