Thank you to the book friend Harley is a legend, Chinch monthly ticket support, thank you book friend 7857 for your generous reward, thank you to every brother who subscribed to this book, thank you so much, I was moved to cry.

……

Baishitan is the so-called Aksai Chin region in later generations, which is a mountain basin between the Kunlun Mountains and the Karakoram Mountains, and is also the main road from Xinjiang to Tibet, through which the Xin-Tibet Highway passed in later generations. In 62, this land was briefly occupied by Ah San, and later was easily driven out by the squadron.

The cause of this war was that China for some reason took the initiative to recognize the McMahon Line between the Eastern Sector and Burma, and gave up a large area of territory between China and Burma, which contributed to the arrogance of Ah San, who also demanded that the border with China should also be demarcated along the McMahon Line, and demanded that Aksai Chin be assigned to India.

The two sides couldn't get along, so they had to fight, where was Ah San, who could only put his mouth at artillery, the opponent of the squadron, and the east and west fronts were beaten to an embarrassment. A battalion stationed in the Aksai Chin region was completely wiped out by the squadron, and the Aksai Chin region was firmly controlled by the squadron from then on, and it was still the case until Ma Lan left.

The squadron won on both the eastern and western fronts, but the eastern front took the initiative to retreat, and a large area of land south of the McMahon line was occupied by Ah San. The winner gets only the fame of the winner, but the loser gains almost everything.

In his previous life, every time he read this period of history, Ma Lu was extremely entangled. As a lover of military history, he has also been to the desolate plateau of Aksai Chin.

With an average altitude of more than 4,000 meters, he felt like he had been pinched by his neck after he went in his previous life, and he almost went there because of altitude sickness. Now he walks on the white rocky beach of a thousand years ago, but it is extremely easy. All this is thanks to the original Guanzhong man, who left him a body that was not as strong as a human being.

The desolate land of White Rock Beach is the commanding height of the whole of Central Asia and the birthplace of several major rivers such as the Ganges. To the north over the mountains can go to Khotan, to the west there are a few mountain passes to the big and small Bolu, that is, the Kashmir region of the later generations, to the east to the south is Tubo, the geographical location is extremely important, this era can be said to be the throat of the Tubo people, the previous life is the life of Ah San.

In the previous life, all kinds of entanglements between China and Ah San have become a thing of the past, and now it is a thousand years ago, this land must be firmly guarded in the hands of the Han family and must not be abandoned to any alien race.

……

Michelle came out with her brothers from the Anthy spy camp, who had been stationed in this alpine valley for more than half a year. The Anthy agents who came here have already lost dozens of people, and there are less than two hundred still alive.

In the valley, Xinghu merchants came and went, put all kinds of military supplies into the camp, and left happily after receiving the receipts. Most of the Xinghu merchants left their pack horses and yaks carrying their belongings, and set out on their way home with a little food and water. All kinds of supplies in the camp have been piled up, and it is not a problem to support 5,000 people for three months.

By this time, the special existence of the Anxi Secret Agent Camp no longer needed to be hidden.

Listening to Michelle tell about the battles encountered by the spy camp, Ma Lu's mood became even heavier.

In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and he knew that he was not a qualified general. Ci is not in charge of the army, and he does not have an iron heart, so he is not suitable to be the commander of the first army at all. It's one thing to know in his heart, but it's another thing in fact, and every time he sees every seven-foot-tall Angzang man fall on the road, he feels extremely depressed.

In the final analysis, it is his personal obsession to collect the land in the river, and it has little to do with these Han family sons. For this obsession of his, five thousand Anxi athletes worked hard to come to this white rock beach, facing an unknown fate, and he felt deep regret in his heart for every Han family who died on the road. The same is true for these Anxi agents who died on the plateau.

He didn't care about killing more aliens, but he couldn't bear the death of the Han family's son. Ma Lan only hopes that this battle will go smoothly and the Anxi athletes will die less.

Michelle still looks stubborn and proud, but there is a conspicuous scar on her ear, and her long hair can't be completely concealed. There was no doubt that she had been in danger, and if the enemy had attacked her any closer to her neck, she would probably not have been able to see him alive again.

"The Tibetan people are poor, and not many of them can live past the age of 50. Those who are over 20 years old and whose parents and grandparents are still alive are regarded as auspicious people by the Tibetan people and have a high status. Half of the Tibetans were dependent on the nobility, and half were freemen. Due to the short life expectancy of many people, the population of each household is not large, mainly three to five people, and more than six people are very rare. There are also some households with less than three people, that is, the so-called remnants, or the male members of the family died in battle, or the family is too poor to marry a wife. ”

"During the war, the Tubo people had three households out of one ding, and the hometown of Xiangxiong was ten Dongdai, and we have been to eight Dongdai. The total number of Tubo people in the 10th Dongdai should be more than 30,000 households, and according to the method of transferring troops from the Tubo people, the available soldiers are no more than 10,000 people. ”

Mi Xue stood in front of Ma Lan and spoke fluently in official dialect, her voice slightly hoarse. Beside Ma Lan, all the generals of the Young Zhuang faction listened attentively.

It's about to get serious, and no one wants their men to die too much, so it's good to know more.

Ma Ling frowned and asked, "When I was in Chang'an, I heard that there were tens of thousands of victorious soldiers in Xiangxiong State, why are there only more than 10,000 now?" ”

Mi Xue said: "The ground of Xiangxiong is active and wide, far from the land of the Ten Dongdai. Since the extermination of Zhangxiong in Tibet, part of the west has been conveniently separated from Tibet, because the distance is too far and the road is dangerous, the Tubo people can't reach it, so they don't care about it. The eastern part was isolated from this area due to the rise of the Subi tribe, and was basically completely assimilated by Tibet. It is that the original Xiangxiong country has nearly 100,000 victorious soldiers, and now there are more than 10,000 soldiers from three households in Xiangxiong 10 Dongdai, that is, one household out of 10,000 soldiers, and the old, weak, sick and disabled are counted together, that is, more than 30,000 soldiers. ”

Ma Lan nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I heard that the Tubo people have a disgusting attitude of treating guests with wives and daughters, is this true or false?" ”

Michelle snorted and didn't answer, but the leaders of the spies around her grinned one by one.

Looking at the appearance of a few killers, you can know what's going on. Looking at the eager appearance of these young Zhuang factions around him, Ma Lu smiled bitterly in his heart.

The Tibetan women are all red-faced, and they haven't taken a bath for a few months, what's the good thing, these killings are really cold.

After listening to Mi Xue's introduction of the latest information, Ma Luan's heart settled down a little, and let her go down to rest. At this time, on the huge sand table in the marshal's tent, the specific locations and troop deployments of eight of the Dongdai had been marked.

"As you should all know, the enemy we are facing looks extremely weak and vulnerable. But don't forget, this is a plateau, the territory of the Tibetan people. The strength of the Zhangxiong Ten Dongdai is weak, but the Tubo people are extremely strong, if they knew that we were here, the Tubo Zampu would definitely not give up. ”

"One of the purposes of our battle was to attract a part of the Tibetan army and reduce some pressure on General Geshu's march at Heyuan. If we can't attract the Tibetans, our task will not be completed. ”

"Fighting a war here is secondary, and the first is to live! Only by surviving can you pick up a knife and kill the enemy! I have taught you what I should teach you, and you must not be careless when you go back, there are too many brothers who have fallen along the way, and I don't want to see any brothers die not on the battlefield, but on the epidemic. ”

Seeing Ma Luan's serious expression, everyone nodded.

Only by being alive can you fight. The athletes had been acclimatizing to the high mountains and valleys of the southern Khotanese Mountains for several months, but it was still very uncomfortable when they arrived here, and most of their strength was reduced by half. Compared to the valley of the southern mountains of Khotan, this place is too high.

"Don't worry too much, this place is much higher than Luo, and the Tubo people are very uncomfortable when they come here, because Zhangxiong has been destroyed for a hundred years, and it is still a unique existence in Tibet. If the Tibetan soldiers want to come here, they also have to reduce their strength. We can adapt quickly here, and our strength will slowly recover. Occupy this place first, and when the Tubo people come, we will have an advantage in strength. ”

"After resting for three days, we will march south and destroy the last three Dongdais first!"

The generals nodded, but no one left, staring at the sand table one by one.

It took a lot of effort for this big guy to move from the snowy mountains, and now the generals and colonels of the Anxi New Army are more and more fond of this thing. Compared with the war of the blind man in the past, it is much simpler to fight like an elephant.

……

With an average altitude of nearly 4,500 meters, the most difficult thing is indeed to be alive. It was almost impossible to get any supplies here, and everything had to be sent over the mountains of southern Khotan. Along the way, I saw a lot of Xinghu merchants who died on the side of the road, and the price of five times was exchanged for their lives, which was not much at all.

Anxi spies and Tang army scouts were sent out in large numbers, and horse shops began to be set up quickly, although the army was still on the edge of Baishitan, it had already begun to infiltrate the Xiong's hometown.

Li Gongbu followed Ma Lan here, the injury of the broken arm has healed, and the mace in his left hand can be used very well, and he is still a fierce general.

Early in the morning of the third day, after the Anxi army was assembled in the valley, Li Gongbu walked into the tent with his mace and said, "General, I want to go and recruit my people." ”

"Wait. When you kill all these three Dongdais, I can allow you to surrender the remaining seven Dongdais. Ma Lan smiled faintly.

"General, those are poor people. Most of the Zhangxiong people are loyal to my family, and they used to have no backing, but now they have a large army here, and if I go to surrender, I will succeed. Li Gongbu pleaded bitterly.

Ma Lan smiled and said, "You are still a king who loves the people like a son." But forget it, if you let them know that you have converted to the Buddha, I am afraid that you will not be able to come back. You're still useful, I'm not going to let you die so soon. ”

Li Gongbu grinned and said, "I will believe in whatever the general needs me." Even if I believe in the God of Light, I am willing. ”

Ma Lan shook his head and smiled: "I am not pious to any god, I am really a suitable superior." But this is not good, the army went to Qiangtang, and the first thing was to establish authority. If you don't stand up, you can't convince the public, how can you stand up without blood? and sit in the camp while it is useful to you. ”

Li Gongbu wanted to say more, Ma Lan waved his hand impatiently, and the two soldiers directly put the old guy out. (To be continued.) )
