Chiling is located in the southeast of Qinghai Lake, nearly 200 miles long, the altitude is as high as more than 4,000 meters, it is the only place to enter Tibet, because the Qinghai Lake in the west of Chiling is also called the West Sea, so it has the name of "West Sea Screen".

The soil here is very peculiar, mostly red, and the grass and trees are scarce. At present, the boundary between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is the Red Ridge.

After climbing Chiling, looking eastward, there is a large area of Tang Juntun's fields, a pastoral style. Looking to the west, the rippling blue waves of Qinghai Lake are endless, rippling and moving, and the lakeside is a natural pasture, which is very different from the pastoral beauty in the east.

This can also be counted as the dividing line between agrarian and nomadic civilizations. In short, climbing Chiling often makes people feel like they are on the sky again.

The Tang army built beacon towers on some commanding heights in Chiling, and if the Tubo cavalry attacked, these beacon towers could be seen from a distance, and then lit the beacon smoke so that the rear could be prepared in time.

The Tubo people naturally regarded these beacon tower gods as a thorn in their side, and sent troops to attack from time to time, and sometimes even launched night attacks to uproot the beacon towers of the Tang army.

When Li Ang finally stood on this "West Sea Screen, Grassland Gateway", his heart couldn't help but chill.

The mountains here are majestic and undulating, layered on top of each other, but mostly sandy rocks, few steep peaks to defend, and no dense woods to hide.

If the enemy army is numerous, I am afraid that the only way to flee is to die.

At this time, the thirty young men were all squatting, as if they were strained, they had no horses, and once the Tibetans came, they couldn't run. So subconsciously squat down to reduce the chance of exposure.

Hua Qiu grabbed and said: "Li Bingcao." Now I understand that it's not easy to make a name for yourself right away, right? ”

Li Ang said with some embarrassment: "Damn! Come to this hellish place to build a beacon tower, whose bullshit idea is this! For small groups of people. There is no danger to defend here, and there is no water to rely on, if the enemy comes to besiege it, how long can it last? Isn't this a food delivery for the Tibetan people?! ”

Hua Qiu clasped his arms in front of his chest, folded his left foot on his right foot, leaned against the broken beacon wall, and smiled crookedly: "Li Bingcao's words are also right and not right. Actually, it's here all year round. There was water for at least half the year, and it was not for many years that people were sent to guard the beacons, mainly during the cultivation and harvest seasons. Other times, the Tubo people love him or not, so he doesn't care. ”

"Don't fucking talk nonsense, isn't this season of cultivation and harvesting just the season when there is no water on the ridge?"

"Hey, Li Bingcao is not bad!" Hua Qiu continued to reply disapprehantly.

Hua Qiu was like a kindergarten teacher praising the children, so angry that Li Ang really wanted to give him a sweeping leg for the pair of legs that didn't have a standing face!

However, that team member Zhengwuda rarely spoke. But Li Ang understands that don't look at this guy's honest face, but his heart must be very bad, and he feels like he is always thinking about something.

Leon looked at the destroyed beacon. He was furious and said: "This ghost place, build a fart beacon, don't repair it." If you want to live, run away. Run back! ”

Leon drew his horizontal knife and pointed at the thirty people. The thirty squatting and squatting fellows looked at each other as if they had been pardoned, and then knelt down and bowed: "Thank you Li Bingcao for your great kindness.........

Why use ellipsis, because before these guys finished speaking, they ran faster than rabbits one by one, and even kicked up bursts of mud and dust.

On the hillside, the war horses neighed, and only Li Ang, Wu Xuan and fifty Tang soldiers remained. Wu Da asked tentatively: "Li Bingcao, what about us, can we also withdraw?" ”

Fifty Tang soldiers stretched their necks one by one, pricked up their ears and waited for Li Ang's answer.

After glancing at them, Leon took the wine bag from the saddle and drank it himself, and the soldiers who smelled the wine couldn't help but swallow their saliva, but alcohol was forbidden in the army, and they only had water in their bags.

Li Ang asked without raising his head, "Do you want to drink?" ”

"Yes!" I don't know who didn't hold the door and leaked the wind.

"I know you look down on me in your heart." Li Ang didn't care if he wanted to drink or not, and said to himself, "I can see that you are all people who have been in the army for many years, and you should all have beheaded the enemy, so it's normal to look down on me as a newcomer." But you've been in the army for many years, and the highest one has only mixed up with a team, do you know why? ”

On the hillside, the dry and cold wind blew, blowing everyone's clothes hunting, the sun was shining, everyone looked west from time to time, for fear that the Tubo people would suddenly kill, and there were probably not many people who really wanted to listen to Li Ang's nonsense.

Hua Qiu is one, this guy is a little cynical, his face always seems to be indifferent, he still smiled crookedly: "Li Bingcao, tell me, why am I still just a deputy team leader?" ”

"Because you just met me today."

"Phew!" Hua Qiu snorted lightly, flexed his fingers, and flew a small stone bullet out.

Leon noticed that his hands were full of calluses, and his muscles were bulging like limbs, and he looked vigorous and powerful.

"Setting up a beacon tower on Chiling is indeed not a solution, not only does it consume manpower and material resources, but it also has little effect. If I were in charge of the armaments here, I would never do such a thankless stupid thing. ”

Wu Da interjected curiously: "If Li Bingcao is in charge of military affairs, what better way do you have?" ”

Hua Qiu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Li Bingcao probably hasn't seen the cavalry of the Tubo people, it is like the wind, unpredictable, set up a few beacon towers on this red ridge, at least you can give some warning in advance, if you don't have these beacon towers...... Hua Qiu pointed to the large tuntian in the east and said, "I'm afraid don't want to harvest the crops every year." ”

"With these beacon towers, you don't necessarily have to harvest much of this crop, right?"

Hua Qiu smiled and did not refute again, it is true, the Tubo people are all cavalry, and every year during the harvest season, they will attack in a big way and loot the grain.

The Tubo people jokingly called these tuntian "Tubo Grange", which means that the Tang Dynasty is farming for them.

Wu Da asked again: "Li Bingcao has a better way to deal with the Tubo cavalry?" ”

Li Ang said with a smile: "Build a few beacon towers, and the Tubo people will not actually pay attention to them at all." This is a mistake both strategically and tactically. If you want to change the passive situation of the Tibetan people who come when they want to come and leave when they want. Only by digging a chasm in the hearts of the Tibetan people can they be discouraged. ”

"Li Bingcao doesn't have to be tricky. Digging a gap in the hearts of the Tibetan people, you are a god when you are a god? ”

"I can't count on the gods for this. It's up to us. Li Ang said confidently, "Actually, it's not difficult, during the harvest season, the Tubo people are coming, let him come." ”

"Let him come?"

"Yes, let him come! Our army only needs to quietly mobilize cavalry to set up an ambush, and when the Tibetans desperately harvest the crops and return with large bags of grain, it is estimated that they will be tired and half dead.

This time. If our army suddenly kills again, as long as it can encircle and annihilate the enemy once, it is equivalent to drawing a deep ditch in the hearts of the Tubo people, and the next time they want to come, they have to weigh it first, which is better than building a thousand beacon towers on the Chiling Ridge. ”

"Hiss............" Hua Qiu took a breath of cool air, did not speak, and looked at Li Ang's eyes began to change a little.

He had been in the People's Army for many years and was very familiar with the situation here. Leon's approach is not only new. Moreover, it has great operability, and if it is well arranged, it is really possible to turn the "Tubo Grange" into a "Tubo Cemetery".

Li Ang continued: "Also, don't the Tibetan people like to come and rob our crops? Why can't we go and destroy their crops? ”

At this time, even the honest-looking Wu Da couldn't help laughing: "Li Bingcao." The first time you go to the plateau, hehe, the Tibetan people mainly live as nomads. If there is no crop, there is. It is also a minority, which has little impact on them. ”

"I'm embarrassed to laugh at me. No wonder you don't look like people anymore, one or two are like stupid hats. Who said that the Tibetans had no crops? The pasture is their crop, you see? ”

"Uh............"

"Uh, what, uh? Shall we send light horsemen to burn down their pastures? , burned the pastures, their horses, cattle and sheep gnawed stones? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said, Kou can go, I can also go! If we don't adopt a more proactive strategy, we will only be beaten passively forever. ”

Wu Da sneered: "Li Bingcao said it so nicely, you should tell Ambassador Wang about it." ”

Li Ang said lightly: "This time we are here, the task is to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and when we have reconnoitred the enemy's situation clearly, this official will naturally go back to give advice to Ambassador Wang." ”

"Scouting the enemy? Isn't this scouting? No hostile situation was found on Chiling for the time being. "Wuda is still pretending to be stupid.

"This officer is ready to cross the Chiling Ridge and deeply investigate the enemy's virtual and real ............"

"That's not going to work." Without waiting for Li Ang to finish speaking, Wu Da denied it, "Brothers, it's okay to come and play with you, and you still cross the Chiling?" You don't want to live, we still want to live. ”

"Yes, yes, we don't want to die."

"That is, with dozens of us, if we want to cross Chiling, it is the birthday star Weng hanging, and I am impatient."

A cadre of soldiers also made a noise, and one by two stood up, looking like they were ready to go home.

Li Ang glanced around at everyone and said with a ruffian smile: "Don't forget, everyone, now, this official is your boss, and the words of this official are military orders, and the consequences of disobeying military orders are clear to everyone, right?" ”

Dozens of soldiers stopped talking, and looked at the team Zheng Wuda together, only the deputy team Zheng Huaqiu still looked like a hanger.

Wu Da looked at Li Ang, sneering in his heart, Feng Shoujie's instruction to him was to accompany Li Ang to Chiling to play and deal with things as a show.

Li Ang took the chicken feather as an arrow, and wanted to cross the Chiling to reconnoiter the enemy. Bullshit! You're going to die, but you won't be with you! He put on a smile and said, "Li Bingcao, you don't know how ferocious the Tubo people are, just our little people are over, it's not enough for people to meet each other." Go back, make an apology to Deputy Envoy Dong, and apologize, it's better than dying at the hands of the Tubo people, brothers, I'm right? ”

"That's it, go back!"

"Let's go, it's his business if he doesn't go back, let's not accompany him!"

“……………”

The smile on Leon's face did not change from beginning to end, but instead gave people a feeling of deepening the smile, but this smile made people ......

"So, the military team is preparing to disobey the military orders of this officer?"

"It's not about disobedience, it's just that you want to cross the Chiling, this is obviously going to die, and the brothers don't do it."

"That's it, whoever goes is a fool!"

"Hahaha............"

Just as the soldiers were drumming, suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of everyone's eyes, like a bolt of lightning!
