Chapter 204: Two Very Simple Questions
"Okay, you better hurry up and save the province!" Li Shimin glared at Cheng Yanjin angrily, and said, "Even if you are not afraid of death, I have to think about the soldiers?" If only that's what you just said! If you toss like this, even if I have a million army, sooner or later I will be ruined by you! ”
Cheng Yanjin was stunned when he heard this, and muttered a little unwillingly: "What's the matter, just kill him and it's over......"
"Lao Cheng, what you said is not realistic at all!"
Niu Jinda glanced at Cheng Biting Jin, ignoring the angry appearance of this guy staring at a pair of bull's eyes, and said to himself:
"Your Excellency, you are only talking about Tubo's own strength and the surrounding forces. ∈ ♀ top novel, www.In addition, if we want to take the initiative, there are two more problems that need to be solved! ”
"Oh, what's the problem?" Li Shimin asked.
Niu Jinda is also an old man in the Qin Palace, and he is also a good hand in marching and fighting, no worse than Wei Chi Gong and them.
He pointed to the places on the map that belonged to Tibet and said:
"Tubo is not only actively friendly with its neighbors, but also occupies a favorable geographical advantage! The land of Tubo is extremely high, and the border with my Tang Dynasty is even more steep, and if you march and fight, the time on the road alone will have to be doubled! During this journey, the consumption of grain and grass and the provision of military salaries are not a small amount! ”
Speaking of this, Niu Jinda hesitated for a moment before continuing: "As for this second question! That's a little strange, it seems that the Tibetan people have their own characteristics! It is in their territory that except for those Tibetans, as long as other people enter Tibet, they will have strange symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, and numbness in their hands and feet, and after examination, they will not be able to find the root of the disease at all. ”
"Huh? And such wonders? Li Shimin asked with a look of surprise.
As for the other civil and military generals, except for those who had been there, they had heard of this kind of thing for the first time, and they all talked about it.
Li Yuanba listened to the discussions of the ministers of civil and military affairs. In his heart, he kept slandering: "Nima, aren't these symptoms the symptoms of altitude sickness?" Is that still a trait? There are no such pitfalls! ”
"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true! The last general had two good brothers, and he had escorted some silk to Tibet, but the road was not finished, but as soon as he entered the territory of Tibet, the entire caravan, including the two brothers of the last general, all fell ill inexplicably! Afterwards, the Tibetan merchants who traded with the last general's brother said. They have a magical quality, as long as they are in the Tibetan region, they are not afraid of injuries at all! ”
Although the look on Niu Jinda's face was very affirmative, there was a tone of doubt in his voice.
"This is indeed a bit strange......
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious, if it was really like Niu Jinda's words, then it would be a fart, and he could only sit and wait for death in the frontier of the Tang Dynasty.
"The magical qualities of bullshit!"
At this moment, Li Yuanba said in a voice full of disdain.
"Yuanba. What did you just say? ”
Li Shimin thought that he had heard it wrong, and looked at Li Yuanba with some surprise and said.
"Brother Huang, as General Niu said, as long as outsiders enter Tibet, they will get a strange disease. It is indeed a fact. But it's not so mysterious, it's just a matter of adaptation, it's very simple. ”
Li Yuanba looked at Li Shimin with a smile, and his voice was full of confidence.
"The prince knows what's going on? Please also let the prince know. Mowei has been bothered by this for six years, and every time I think about it, I always feel like a fish in my throat! ”
Niu Jinda is the great general. instantly turned into a primary school student, staring at Li Yuanba with a bunch of bull's eyes.
It didn't look like asking for advice, it was more like eating Li Yuanba.
But this is also Niu Jinda's character, if it is placed on someone else's body, he will not ask so frankly.
"Hehe, this matter is very simple to put it bluntly, but the reason why no one has mentioned it for so many years is because it is indeed a small thing, a very small thing!"
Li Yuanba suddenly laughed, and he continued to speak: "Fang Cai, the series of symptoms mentioned by General Niu can be collectively referred to as altitude sickness. ”
"Altitude sickness? Plateau? ”
All of you in the main hall are elite soldiers who have fought in the entire Tang Dynasty and have almost stepped on all kinds of terrain, so as soon as Li Yuanba's new term was spit out, the faces of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Jing and others instantly became stunned.
"Not bad!" Li Yuanba nodded and said: "The so-called altitude sickness, simply put, because in the plateau terrain, the air is already much thinner than ours in the Guanzhong Plain area, like those of us who live on the plain, if we enter the plateau area without any preparation, the body will definitely have some uncomfortable reactions!" If you don't have a lot of strictness, you just need to continue to adapt to the plateau area for a while. If it is really strict, then you can only evacuate the plateau area! ”
"That's it...... Finished? ”
Niu Jinda felt incredible, he spent a lot of effort for his two brothers back then, and even asked Yuan Tiangang, but in the end it was still a mystery, but he didn't expect that this mystery would be solved today, and it was so simple.
At this moment, Li Xiaogong seemed to think of something, stood up and said:
"Initiation of the Majesty! Weichen once heard Yuan Daochang say that some time ago, he had gone to Mount Tai Tianzhu Peak to visit his old friends, and with him, there was also Li Chunfeng of the Taishi Bureau. You also know that this cultivator's body is much better than that of ordinary people, and he is in a hurry with Yuan Daochang and Li Chunfeng. But I don't know why, just after arriving at Tianzhu Peak, before he even stood firmly, Li Chunfeng fell down for unknown reasons, and after that, he was also mentally depressed for a while. ”
"Huh? Isn't this the same symptom as my two brothers? Niu Jinda said in surprise.
"Well, yes!" Li Xiaogong talked eloquently, "At that time, Yuan Daochang and his friends sent Li Chunfeng into the house to rest, but it was only three days, Li Chunfeng's illness miraculously disappeared, and he could run and jump, Yuan Daochang's living and eating in the four days after Tianzhu Peak was done by Li Chunfeng himself!" ”
"Yes, that's the truth!"
Li Yuanba nodded and said, "Actually, this is just a normal physiological and psychological reaction of people. As long as it exceeds a certain height, people who live in the plains all the year round enter the plateau, according to the individual's physique, there will definitely be a variety of different reactions, but some people's reactions are very weak, and even I don't notice it, and some people react strongly, if not dealt with in time, the small life may even be lost. ”
"If it's really like what Yuan Ba said, then Tubo is really fearless!" Li Shimin touched his chin and said.
At this moment, the eldest grandson Wuji stood up from the crowd and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen doesn't trust His Royal Highness King Wu, it's really a big matter, and there is no room for the slightest difference." Therefore, for the sake of safety, Weichen wanted His Majesty to send someone to Tubo to investigate and verify whether the disease was really like this! ”
"Accurate!"
Li Shimin actually muttered in his heart, but he must not make a mistake, so he should send some people over to take a look.
"No!"
The eldest grandson Wuji replied respectfully, and was about to retreat to the side of the hall.
Wei Zheng, who had not spoken in the crowd all this time, said coldly at this time: "Your Majesty, the army has not moved, the grain and grass go first, if the full-scale battlefield is opened, I am afraid that the battle line will be stretched very long." In this way, a large amount of grain and grass is needed, according to Wei Chen's opinion, when you send people to Tubo to verify the symptoms, it is better to start buying grain and grass first, otherwise, the army will fight hungry, and there will be no chance of victory at all. ”
Wei Heizi is always the guy who is looking for loopholes, he will not let go of any detail, as long as he can give direct advice and is beneficial to Datang, no matter what the occasion is, what kind of atmosphere it is, he will not hesitate to say it.
Grain and grass is also a big problem, you know, now it is not as good as the prosperity of Zhenguan, the common people do not have much surplus grain at home, not to mention to buy to redo grain and grass, even if you look at the entire grain depot of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that it is not enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to fight continuously.
"Brother Huang, do you remember Shenwuwei?" Li Yuanba saw that after listening to Wei Zheng's words, there seemed to be a few more wrinkles on Li Shimin's face, and he couldn't help but move in his heart and said.
"Remember!" Li Shimin scratched his head a little irritably, and said: "However, this war is likely to be a large-scale conquest, and your Shenwu Wei only has 10,000 people, even if it is put on the battlefield, it will be a drop in the bucket!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Li Yuanba smiled mysteriously and said, "Brother Huang, you only need to prepare 10,000 of my Shenwu Guards now, and work hard to serve 2,000 people's military rations!" As for the rest, you won't be disappointed! ”
"Lord Wang, are you kidding?"
Li Shimin didn't have time to take a stubble, but Wei Zheng looked at Li Yuanba with a black face.
"Are you kidding? This king is never joking! Li Yuanba's words were very plain and bland.
"The Tubo soldiers are strong, there are at least 70,000 people, plus the armies of several other Fanbang barbarians, at this station, the soldiers of Fanbang alone have no less than 200,000 troops, 10,000 against 200,000 troops, what is the prince not joking?"
Wei Heizi analyzed it very seriously, not to mention, he was a counselor, and it was rare for him to be able to know the number of the barbarian army of those Fanbangs.
"This king didn't say that this army of 10,000 people alone can defeat an army of 200,000!"
Li Yuanba laughed, and he continued: "This king still has the Divine Machine Mansion, and there are thousands of firearms in the Divine Machine Mansion!" With these things, even if it is an immortal in the sky, this king can also knock him down! (To be continued......) R527
