The main road, which is about three zhang wide, extends to the east and west, north and south respectively, and runs through the four gates horizontally and vertically, without any obstacles in between.

Different environments bring different moods to people.

Dunhuang Tucheng sang and danced, Hu and Han blended, and there were enthusiastic female slaves with slender waists everywhere.

On the contrary, Shanzhou is a military fortress, but it occupies a relatively large area, and once a war starts, it can quickly divide the army through a simple and smooth avenue.

With the arrival of the 130,000 army, the repair work was quickly completed, and before nightfall, Li Jingxuan and Liu Xianli, two old men with the highest rank and almost extremely human ministers, led the generals to inspect and show a certain attitude to the soldiers and the people.

Five steps and one post, heavily guarded.

Although it is only the simplest to wear two armors, protecting the front heart and back, and exposing the linen inside, it does make everyone have armor.

At this moment, the soldiers stood as straight as trees, and remained motionless despite the cold wind.

Seeing this situation, Meng Fan naturally saw that the military spirit was completely usable, these athletes had just been recruited from all over the country, and they were named Mengshi by the country, and they were also trained well on weekdays.

It's just not clear, if you really fight, will you be cowardly, and whether you can withstand a backwater battle.

After patrolling the streets, and inspecting the castle towers and arrow towers that had been repaired by stonemasons, the generals of the battalions also returned one after another to discuss the matter—

They had to make sure there were no howling incidents.

What is Yingxiao?

Many people who command the army regard it as taboo, and the color of the talk changes, even if the hot weapon appears in later generations, the generals will panic when they hear this word.

Especially now, only one step away from the war, and seeing the scene of the Tubo people slaughtering the city during the day, the soldiers are very likely to be overstressed and shout unconsciously in their sleep, which will then bring about a chain reaction, causing everyone to be mentally confused and fall into a dangerous situation of madness.

So...... The old soldiers with battlefield experience, and even low-level generals, will not close their eyes tonight, and if anyone shouts in a dream, they will immediately be gagged and dragged to a separate remote barracks for detention.

"Everyone, let's start talking."

Li Jingxuan knew that he would only talk on paper, and coupled with the influence of Meng Fan, a military advisor, he was almost decentralized, and he was only responsible for making decisions.

On the side, Liu Xianli was silent, he, a general, was a secretary of the Ministry of Industry in the center, and he had no more battlefield experience than the commander, and he was not both civil and military.

But one thing is strong, that is, he is ready to die in battle to serve the country, and even the only son who is responsible for carrying the corpse back to his hometown has been brought, leaving a young grandson in Chang'an.

Before the atmosphere fell silent, a very imposing veteran spoke, with a high nose and deep eyes, obviously of Hu blood, he pointed to the west of Yutu and said:

"The stone castle is in this direction."

"It's hard to attack, but with the 130,000 horses in our hands to take this fort, we should have a chance of winning."

Meng Fan asked quietly, "How much does it cost you?" ”

The robe is still the same.

No one would ignore him, though.

Putting aside the identity of the queen of heaven and nephews, the ability to pass through the dark and mysterious is worthy of everyone's attention.

The veteran Li Jinxing thought about it seriously and said:

"If you don't die, you can't take it down...... But if you don't occupy this place, the safety of Longyou can not be guaranteed, in order to avoid being attacked by the east and the west when you are officially fighting with Tubo, and you are in a situation of being beaten passively, you must take it! ”

"Tens of thousands?"

The chief manager, Li Jingxuan, frowned, obviously frightened by this number.

War is not a game.

Soldiers are not cold data.

One out of ten people must die, what kind of concept is this, besides, most of the battalion is a group of recruits who have no experience in battlefield fighting, what kind of blood and patriotism, it is difficult to say when the time comes.

"The attitude of the imperial court and the saints is very clear, this time it is not to defend the country, but to actively attack."

The veteran Li Jinxing did not follow the general manager, calmly narrating the facts, although the two are from their own family, but they can't fight by blood, he is surnamed Li for the country-

Su Mo Jing tribe, the son of the Gong of Yarrow Kingdom, the door shade into the office, Emperor Taizongwen gave the country surname, the first grant of the general of the left prison guard, with the army to the east of Goguryeo, later served as the governor of Yingzhou, Xiong according to the border pass, for the Khitan, Goguryeo feared, repeatedly suppressed the border rebellion.

The most important thing is that he not only went eastward, but also had the experience of going westward, and in the past, the Tibetan general Lun Qinling attacked Huangzhong and retreated from the enemy with an empty city. Last year, he broke Tubo even more, and now he is the general of the right guard and canonized the Duke of Yanguo.

War, after all, is a major national event, Li Jingxuan and Liu Xianli have no experience in leading the army, and someone must provoke the beam at the critical moment and lead a group of young generals to support the bottom.

And this Yan Guogong is.

On the main seat, Li Jingxuan glanced at him angrily, and said in a deep voice: "If this is a heavy loss, how do you tell me to explain to the imperial court." ”

"Take Stone Castle City, a great achievement."

"What if you can't take it, so many people will die in vain, and your morale will be damaged!"

"As long as the stone castle is in the hands of Tubo, the Tang Dynasty will not be at peace for a day, not to mention the 180,000 army, even the 280,000 athletes, they have to be scattered in Longyou Road for defense, and they can't concentrate their forces."

The Qingzhuang faction did not dare to speak.

Wang Xiaojie, the deputy manager who doesn't speak well, is not qualified enough.

Lou Shide, civilian with the army.

Hei Tooth Changzhi, the deputy envoy of the Heyuan Army, is responsible for the life of the vanguard and the odd soldier, and cannot intervene in the general direction.

The eyes are the same, and they all look at Liu Xianli, who is looking at the nose and the nose, he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he is also a big man in the center, if the head is iron, plus the old general Li Jinxing, he is really not afraid of the general manager.

Liu Xianli set his eyes on the military advisor.

Grinding guns in battle, not fast and light.

Since Meng Fan joined the army, he has traveled among the generals to ensure that he can use his words to the top, don't become a mascot and a life-saving straw, and strive to gain the initiative.

Therefore, I also know how important the stone fort in the west is, as Yan Guogong said, taking this border city, the offensive and defensive momentum between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo is different!

"The imperial court has been busy suppressing the rebellion in Liaodong all these years, so that Tubo has intensified, and now the saint has a thunderous rage, and the stone castle is famous all over the world, and it must be a great achievement to capture this place."

"Only the countries of the Western Regions can strengthen their confidence in us." Meng Fan said a bunch of nonsense.

However, it also makes everyone know the attitude.

Seeing this, Liu Xianli no longer rode the wall, and echoed ambiguously: "Stone castle, a place where soldiers must fight." ”

"Jiuru, it's not me who fights."

Li Jingxuan changed his attitude towards Yan Guogong and took the initiative to explain: "As soon as Guan Jian arrived at the border, the road was immediately closed by heavy snow, and our Datang and Tubo fought back and forth in that stone city several times, the casualties were incalculable, and tens of thousands of soldiers went there to give their lives in vain, I really can't bear it." ”

"For a general, how can there be a woman's kindness!"

The old general scolded and did not give face to the chief manager.

It's cruel, but it's true.

The military book written by Li Jing, the founding god of the army, states:

For the sake of the generals, three out of ten soldiers must be killed, so as to deter the enemy, and even one out of ten must be killed, so that the three armies can tremble and obey the order.

Of course, grace and power go hand in hand.

Since it is so iron-blooded, there must be corresponding kindness, such as not abandoning the sick number.

A seriously wounded person who could not move could be carried by two donkeys, and two people were arranged to take care of him, and the officer was responsible for supervising the meals and the military doctor making rounds of diagnosis and treatment.

If the sick number is abandoned, the inspector shall be punished with a hundred sticks and ordered to be recovered; If the sick person dies because of this, or is instructed to be buried alive, the person involved will be beheaded on the spot, regardless of their status, and military law will be enshrined.

Pity...... Now it is no longer the early Tang Dynasty where the monarch and the ministers are single-minded and go all out to the outside world, and noise has always been forbidden in the army, but now Li Jinxing and Li Jingxuan are directly scolding each other.

The latter quoted scriptures, his mouth was very sharp, and he was invincible in the court in the past, but he met the former, and he never opened his mouth when he was able to do it.

Everyone hurriedly separated the two.

is in a high position, and his combined age is more than 100 years old, but he refuses to deal with it at all.

With this kind of strange lineup, what will you do to win the geographically advantageous Tubo?

Xue Rengui, who was famous in history in the past, lost his teacher here, and his prestige was ruined.
