An piece of information made Qin Huaidao have a lot less to worry about.

Since the Turkic king is dead and the Turks are in turmoil, there is no need for too many soldiers and horses to attack the Turks, and the surplus soldiers and horses cannot be idle.

Of course, the kingdom of Gundam is next to Tibet, and it must not be used to surrender generals such as qiangba, once it becomes bigger and stronger, it will be tricky to turn against it when the time comes, and you can only use other soldiers and horses.

It has nothing to do with trust, human nature, can't be tested!

Inside the royal palace.

Qin Huaidao explained in detail the invasion of the Gundam Kingdom and the situation he had, and said bluntly: "Cousin, Brother Cheng, are you two willing to lead troops south?" ”

To be commensurate with the eldest brother is to ask and ask for advice in a private capacity, not an order.

But the two of them are not stupid, they can call people to say so much because they have a decision in their hearts, not to mention where to go to fight is not to fight? Wouldn't it be better to lead an army alone? The two of them looked at the map and thought to themselves.

Qin Huaidao didn't rush and waited patiently.

After a while, Luo Tong glanced at Cheng Chumo and took the lead in saying: "King Han, the last general is willing to go, it's just that the Gundam Kingdom is just a projectile land, you just mentioned that there are only 50,000 soldiers, and one general is enough, so why bother with one more?" ”

Commensurate with the King of Han, it is an official reply.

Cheng Chumo also said: "King Han, the last general is also willing to go, as General Luo said, one army is enough, do you have other ideas?" ”

"Hahaha, the two eldest brothers still understand me!"

Qin Huaidao smiled, pointed to the Gundam Kingdom and said: "You two lead the troops south, and level the Gundam Kingdom for me with the power of thunder, remember, after taking this land is ours, we have to govern it in the future, we can't break it, we will kill the high-level nobles, win over the poor, dismiss the slaves, win over the hearts of the people, support the local trustworthy people to assist in governance, and then arrange for civil officials to take over." ”

"Understood, it's the same as Tibet?" Luo Tong agreed.

Qin Huaidao nodded in agreement, and continued: "After taking the Gundam Kingdom, Luo will go west, take the Rongri Kingdom, and if you have the spare strength to continue south, how much territory you can fight depends on you, Cheng Chumo will go east, and continue to go south after taking the Biao Kingdom, again, how much you can fight depends on your ability." ”

To the south of the country is a large territory such as Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, etc., which has a long border line with the Tang Dynasty.

The two of them are overjoyed, expanding their territory, and leaving a name in history, who doesn't want to be a good thing?

But after all, he is a veteran of many years of war and has rich experience, Luo Tong asked: "King Han, it may be difficult for a soldier of an army to conquer a huge territory, and even if it is defeated, it must be defended by arranging people, and there may not be enough manpower." ”

Cheng Chumo also said: "The key is that there are many mountains here, and our army is not good at mountain and forest warfare. ”

Qin Huaidao smiled reassuringly when he heard this, especially Cheng Chumo could see that it was particularly important to be not good at mountain and forest warfare, after thinking about it, his face turned straight, and said: "Luo Tong, Cheng Chumo listened to the seal." ”

The two of them puffed up their chests and looked solemn.

Qin Huaidao said: "Appoint Luo Tong as the commander-in-chief of the Tianzhu Theater of Operations, and Cheng Chumo as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater, lead the troops and horses of the headquarters to the south, first destroy the Kingdom of Gundam, and then divide the troops to attack, and allow the local recruitment and integration of local soldiers and horses, under the jurisdiction of five armies, there must be no mistakes." ”

In order to win the two major territories, Qin Huaidao did not hesitate to send two of his most trusted generals, and divided the country of Pi, Nanzhao, Linyi, and Zhenla, that is, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and other countries in later generations, into the southern theater of operations.

"Obey, King Xie Han!" The two of them were overjoyed, their eyes were shining, as long as they were allowed to expand and collect soldiers and horses, they would be sure to take it and hold it.

Qin Huaidao looked at the two of them, his eyes were sincere and sincere, but he said with a little doubt: "The two, whether you can expand the territory is up to you, fight and defend, you two are the commanders of the theater, if you can't fight, this king can only send another person, and when the time comes, don't blame this king for retracting the appointment and not giving you two a chance." ”

"Please rest assured, King Han, swear to take it to the death!" The two said solemnly.

The opportunity is in front of you, whether to become a big hero for eternity, or to become a coward and obscurity, there is no need to choose at all, they all secretly swear that this battle, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!

Qin Huaidao took in the expressions of the two of them, as long as they were determined, they succeeded, and the rest were generally weapons, mountain and forest battles were not suitable for long weapons, short knives, crossbows, bows and arrows, and shields were enough, and there was no shortage of these captured Tibetan weapons, the biggest problem was miasma, and the water and soil were not adaptable.

The miasma can only find the locals to find an antidote, and it is not difficult for the soldiers to arrive.

The two were completely unfamiliar with miasma, and when they heard Qin Huaidao's reminder, they hurriedly wrote it down carefully.

After a long talk, the two excitedly ran to pick out weapons and prepare for the matter of going south in three days.

Qin Huaidao looked at the map and thought, north of Tubo is Tuyuhun, the Hexi Corridor, has fallen into his hands, there is no need to worry about someone sneaking attack, the east is the imperial court, Li Er will not send troops to attack Tubo unless he is crazy, it is also very safe, even if he attacks, he is not afraid, there are garrisons in Hezhou, Minzhou, Taozhou and Lanzhou, and Xu Shiji is there.

Looking at the west again, there are Himalayas isolated, coupled with the civil strife of the Rongri Dynasty, and when Luo Tong kills it, it is even more impossible to send troops to attack, and the Kingdom of Gundam and the Kingdom of Pi in the south are destroyed, and Cheng Chumo waved his troops south, and no one attacked Tubo.

In this way, Tibet did not need to garrison troops at all and was extremely safe.

One thought flashed through his mind, and after Qin Huaidao weighed it, he finally decided to leave a team responsible for suppressing bandits, quelling chaos, and maintaining local law and order, led by Pei Xingjian, to assist Liu Hongji in governing Tibet.

Pei Xingjian has been promoted to the head of the regiment, and he has made great progress, it is time to take the lead, and Pei Xingjian is both civil and military, with outstanding ability, so you can rest assured that you can stay.

Qin Huaidao decided to promote him to division commander, and the army left behind was all composed of Tang and Turkic people, and it could not be a Tubo person, otherwise it would be easy to have an accident in the future.

In this way, Luo Zhang, Fang Yiai, Xue Wanche, Duan Zan and Duo Ji all brought along, each of them had ten divisions, a total of 50 divisions, a total of nearly 350,000 soldiers and horses, plus Luo Ying's special combat army and baggage army, more than 400,000, and the chances of winning the Turks were very high.

As for the route of sending troops, Qin Huaidao carefully studied it and decided not to take the Dang River that Luo passed through, but to go south along the Lhasa River to the Brahmaputra River, in an east-west direction, to the west to Gangdis, and then all the way to the north, that is, the big Bolu and the small Bolu.

The big Bolu is the Kashmir area of the later generations, the small Bolu is the Pakistani Fort of the later generations, and the small Bolu is the Green Ridge, that is, the Kyrgyzstan area of the later generations, the Tarim Basin to the east, very close to Kashgar in the later generations, and the Tocharian to the west, that is, Afghanistan in the later generations, all belong to the Turkic range in this era.

Walking along the river ensures water use, and the roads along the way are much easier than climbing mountains and wading through water, ensuring that horses travel with them and rely on horses to carry supplies.

After determining the route, Qin Huaidao began to prepare for the corresponding matters, and from time to time he had to guide Liu Hongji to govern the place, and he was busy every day, but fortunately, he trained soldiers and horses, and he didn't have to worry about building weapons, otherwise he would die of exhaustion.

Two months later, a large number of confidants and protégés called by Liu Hongji wrote a letter from the Tang Dynasty.

After another ten days, the army marched along the river, and no one knew where to go, except for a few high-ranking people.

Mighty and mighty, moving like Xu Lin.
