Tubo Zampu convened the ministers of the big discourse, the small discourse, and the whole matter to discuss the military aircraft.

"In a blink of an eye, spring has arrived, Benzanpu thinks that the Tang Dynasty will start a war in the Great Tubo, what do you think, tell me." Du Songmangbujie's eyes sparkled, and he looked at the ministers.

"There's nothing to say, our Great Tubo is located in the high mountains and dense forests, easy to defend and difficult to attack, easy to advance and retreat, no matter how many troops the Tang Dynasty sends, it is useless." Da Tan was full of self-confidence, and he didn't take it to heart at all, and said: "For so many years, if the Tang Dynasty wanted to attack Great Tibet, it stopped at the high mountains and dense forests. The high mountains and dense forests are the best allies of Great Tibet. ”

The high mountains and dense forests are difficult to deal with, and even with the strong national strength of the Tang Dynasty, there is nothing to be done, for this, the Tubo people are absolutely confident that they can stop the Tang Dynasty's attack.

"That's right." Of course, he would not tell the truth about the alliance with the Arab Empire, but lied that he had worked harder, so that he could win the greatest support, and Zampu praised him even more, saying: "With the mountains and dense forests, we are foolproof." Of course, we must also be ready to attack, once the Tang army is dragged down and tired, we can take advantage of the situation to attack and fight a big victory, and let the Tang Dynasty know the power of the Great Tibet. ”

"Huh." A burst of laughter sounded, and the ministers were all overjoyed,

In the past, it was like this, using the high mountains and dense forests to drag the Tang army down, and then seizing the opportunity to attack, always made the Tang Dynasty uncomfortable.

There is a saying that "one trick is fresh, eat all over the world", and this is really the case in Tibet. The tactics of the Tibetan army against the Tang Dynasty were not new at all, and they were very old-fashioned, that is, they used high mountains and dense forests to drag down the Tang army. Then take advantage of the situation to fight back. Always succeeds.

"Not to mention. We still have Stone Castle City, as long as Stone Castle City is here, I will have no worries about Tibet. The whole thing took over the conversation and said with a smile.

The stone fortress city is not large, but it is a fortified city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Geshuhan paid the price of more than 40,000 people to attack this city, while the Tibetan garrison only has 400 people.

Shibao City is arguably one of the most difficult passes in Chinese history.

And. Shibao City is located in a critical place, if it is not defeated, it will be difficult to enter the Dafeichuan, and the Tang Dynasty has to fight.

"You're right, and so is Benzenp." Du Song Mangbu nodded and said: "Ben Zampu means to hold on first, consume the Tang army, and frustrate its sharpness until the Tang army is dragged down and tired, and then take advantage of the situation to kill." Well. This time, if you don't fight, it's enough. Since we want to fight, we must beat the Tang Dynasty hard, and we must mobilize a large army to Dafeichuan, and as soon as the Tang army is defeated, we will go straight to the Hexi Corridor. ”

"Haha!" The ministers laughed loudly, especially proud.

The Hexi Corridor is too important, and Tubo has always wanted to take it down, but it has no chance. If Tubo occupies the Hexi Corridor, you can look down on Guanzhong to the east, which is to hang the sword over the head of the Tang Dynasty and approach the capital Chang'an. If you go west, you can attack the Western Regions, and you can echo Xiao Xiaolu's Tubo army and take the Western Regions in one fell swoop.

Once you take the Western Regions and master the "Silk Road", you can resell Chinese silk to the West, just like the Turks in those years, and then resell the treasures of the West to the Tang Dynasty, you can quickly accumulate huge wealth, then the strength of Tibet will skyrocket, and there will be mountains of gold and silver.

With money, you can recruit troops and buy horses, and you can gallop as you please, which is a step to the sky.

Thinking of this beautiful consequence, the Tibetan monarchs and ministers were overjoyed and smiled very happily.

Chang'an, Daming Palace.

Li Dan convened Di Renjie, Wang Xiaojie, Zhang Cambodia, Li Longji, Zhang Shuo, Yao Chong, Song Jing, Chen Xuanli, and other important civil and military ministers to discuss matters.

Wang Xiaojie had received an order to give Tang Xiujing all the military affairs of Mobei, returned to Chang'an from Mobei, and took over the military department.

Although Wang Xiaojie is old, his body is very tough and his spirit is good.

"In the blink of an eye, it's spring, and it's the season to use soldiers." Li Dan's eyes sparkled, and he was quite excited, and said: "This is the first battle since I ascended the throne, we must fight it well, and we must fight it beautifully." ”

For Li Dan, this battle is of extraordinary significance, because this is the first battle since his reinstatement, and it must be fought well and beautifully.

"How to fight this battle, you all tell me." Li Dan glanced at everyone and said very expectantly.

"This battle is led by the prince, or the prince." Di Renjie looked at Li Longji expectantly.

Although Li Longji is not very old, he is proficient in military affairs, which has been verified in the war to destroy the Turks, and everyone has high hopes for him, and their eyes fall on him.

"Dashuai has been in the northwest for a long time, and he is very familiar with Tubo, how to fight this battle, please mention one or two things." Li Longji did not satisfy everyone's thoughts, but looked at Wang Xiaojie and said.

"That's right." Everyone greatly agreed with Li Longji's move, because Wang Xiaojie is the only remaining veteran and famous general, experienced in a hundred battles, extremely experienced in battle formations, and he is proficient in military affairs, plus he has been guarding against Tibet in the northwest for a long time, so it is very necessary to get his advice.

"Wang Xiaojie, just talk about it." Li Dan is looking forward to it.

"The prince is serious, although I have been in the northwest for a long time and am familiar with Tibet, I am not as amazing as the prince." Wang Xiaojie smiled and said with great appreciation: "As soon as the prince came out, the Turks were destroyed, and Wang Xiaojie admired it a lot. ”

It can be said that if there is no Li Longji, the Turks will not be destroyed, and it is likely that they will flee back to Mobei to lick their wounds, and the Tang Dynasty can only mobilize a large army to chase into Mobei, so it is still fighting this battle.

As the commander of the extermination of the Turks, Wang Xiaojie had special respect for Li Longji.

"The handsome man has won the award." Li Longji said humbly.

"When it comes to fighting Tibet, there is only one word: difficult! It is more difficult to fight the Tibetans than to fight the Turks! Wang Xiaojie's face was grim, and he analyzed: "Why do you say that? Although the Turks are strong, their national strength is several times stronger than that of Tibet, however, the desert is empty, suitable for large armies to gallop, as long as it is properly dispatched, it can destroy the Turks. However, Tibet is different, with high mountains and dense forests, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if there is a large army, it is difficult to deploy, which is the difficulty of fighting Tibet. ”

The border troubles of the Tang Dynasty were mainly the Turks and the Tibetans, and the Turks were destroyed twice by the Tang Dynasty. The first time was Li Jing's night attack on Yinshan and wiped out the Turks in one fell swoop, and the second time was the battle of Mokou, slaughtering millions of Turks.

However, the national strength of Tubo was inferior to that of the Turks, and the Tang Dynasty defeated more victories than others, and the result was that Tubo was always defeated but did not die, and finally survived. The reason is that the high mountains and dense forests are too dangerous to launch a large army, and the Tang Dynasty is not able to use it.

Therefore, it is more difficult to fight the Tibetans than the Turks.

"Reasonable, reasonable." Everyone agreed in unison.

Wang Xiaojie is worthy of being a famous general, and it is difficult for ordinary people to say it so clearly.

"If my expectations are correct, Tubo should still use the old method this time: use the high mountains and dense forests to consume my army, until it is almost consumed, and then kill it." Wang Xiaojie's eyes flashed, and he said: "However, Tubo forgot a little, this war is different from the past. ”

Speaking of this, his voice turned higher and said: "In the previous wars, Datang fought on two fronts, both to fight the Turks and Tubo, and we couldn't put the army into a big war against Tubo, and after fighting for a while, we had to retreat." And now, the Turks have been wiped out, there is only one Tibet, we can pour the strength of the country into a big battle, we can take turns to put the army into battle, so that the Tibetans have no chance to take advantage of, not to mention anything else, the delay will drag the Tibetans uncomfortably. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! The crowd applauded in unison.

Wang Xiaojie's words are to the point, in the past, the Tang Dynasty had to fight on two fronts, and the manpower and material resources invested in the war against Tibet were limited, and after fighting for a while, the army would be tired and would be taken advantage of by Tibet. Nowadays, the Tang Dynasty can concentrate its forces to fight Tibet, and the army can be rotated, as long as the logistics can keep up, the Tang army will always be high-spirited and will not be tired.

This is a war of attrition, and after the fight, it must be Tubo who can't stand it.

Because the economy of Tibet is really not flattering, the Tang Dynasty can throw Tubo away by 100,000 miles, and the Tang Dynasty is just paying a certain price, and Tubo can no longer afford it.

"Of course, this is a last resort, because this is a war of attrition, and there will be huge attrition on both sides of the enemy. Moreover, it takes a long time, so it can be said that it is protracted. Wang Xiaojie changed his words and said: "If it can be ended as soon as possible, it will end as soon as possible, so as to prepare for the big war with Da Shi." ”

"Dare to ask the marshal, how can we end the war as soon as possible?" Li Longji asked.

"There are two strategies: one is to take Stone Castle City. Shibao City is located in a dangerous place, if it can be taken down, the sword of the Tang Dynasty will be aimed at Dafeichuan, and Dafeichuan is in the bag. If you can't take the stone castle city, you have to find a way from the high mountains and dense forests, as far as I know, although the high mountains and dense forests are dangerous, it is not that there are no roads, but the roads are too dangerous to pass. If you can be prepared, it is not impossible to get through the high mountains and dense forests, and this is the second policy. "Wang Xiao's brilliant idea.

The location of Shibao City is very important, if it can be defeated, it will be a smooth road to enter Dafeichuan, and the Tang army can rush in, and it is inevitable to take Dafeichuan.

Of course, Stone Castle City is too dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, whether it can be defeated or not, it is still two talks.

If you can't beat it, you have to think of another way, and you have to start from the mountains and dense forests. In the mountains and dense forests, it is not that there are no roads, but they are too dangerous and difficult to pass.

As long as you are well prepared and well directed, it is not impossible to get through the high mountains and dense forests.

This has been verified by history. For example, Gao Xianzhi's expedition to the battles of Xiao Lu and Da Lu is known as a miracle in the world's military history. Western historians believe that Gao Xianzhi fought on the plateau at an average altitude of 4,000 meters and achieved great success, many times more than the famous Western generals Hannibal, Napoleon, and Suvorov who crossed the Alps.

"Huh." Li Dan smiled, very happy, Wang Xiaojie's idea is very good.

"Good! Wang Xiaojie deserves to be Wang Xiaojie! Di Renjie high-fived and admired, and sighed.

"Handsome." Everyone sighed in unison.

"Xie Dashuai instructed." Li Longji thanked him loudly, and Li Longji agreed with Wang Xiaojie's idea from the bottom of his heart.

Next, they discussed the military plane for a while, and then, Li Longji said goodbye to Li Dan and led Chen Xuanli, Zhang Shuo, Xue Zhi, Yang Siqiao, and Zhang Xiaofei out.

When he came out, Li Dan led his ministers to send them out of the city, and said goodbye. (To be continued......)
