Chapter 158: I Smell Military Merit!
Historically.
No country can maintain its largest territory all the time.
Even the Ming Dynasty, which is known as having a wide territory and is far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, in the end, still has to put all the land that should be placed.
If you can't rule, you can't rule.
At this time, Datang can actually be said to have almost reached the maximum.
Because since Su Dingfang pacified Ashina Helu, the small countries in Central Asia have been annexed, and these small countries have now become vassal states of the Tang Dynasty.
The only thing that is still lacking now is probably Tibet.
Of course!
In fact, there is also the area to the south of the state.
To the south of Yizhou, there are also many other ethnic minorities and tribes living there.
I saw Li Chong finally say, "I have already told the envoy of Murong Nuo's bowl that if he is at ease as his king of Heyuan County, then he and his descendants can always be the king of the county above Qinghai that no one else can replace."
"But if he has to go against Datang, then Datang has the ability and patience to fight another battle with them to destroy the country. It's just that when the time comes, whether he or his heir will be the king of the county again, it's hard to say."
"So it's better to fight against Datang, or to be a county king in peace, eat and drink without worry, and there is no danger to his life, let him distinguish the pros and cons by himself."
Li Er: "You're doing the right thing. I believe that after Murong Nuo listens to it, he will understand what he should do next."
……
After chatting with Li Er, Li Chong went back next.
In the eighth year of Yanping, at the beginning of November.
The Tang Dynasty began to plot against Tibet.
First of all! Naturally, the soldiers were recruited first, and this was at least a five-year, or even ten-year battle.
This soldier must be recruited, so as to ensure long-term combat effectiveness.
Otherwise, everyone is worried about their own land, and the war will definitely not be good.
The second step is to plan to establish military supply points in Dafeichuan, Wuhai, and Yushu, which is actually the land of the Tubo Sun Boru Division.
Of course, at this moment, none of these places are Datang's.
You have to win someone else's battle before you can build it there.
And when the time comes, these supply points will be built.
So......
At this time, it was already halfway to the capital of Tibet.
Step 3!
There are still about 1,600 miles left, and at this time, altitude sickness is not very obvious, and it is estimated that it is not difficult to go on a long-distance attack.
Learn from Huo to get sick and fight a blitzkrieg.
Of course!
The better result was naturally that after the defeat of Sun Boru's troops, the soldiers of Tubo had already died seventy-seven or eighty-eight, and when they saw that they could not be defeated, Tubo surrendered.
In fact......
Tubo, which is more than 3,200 miles away from Shanzhou, is really not easy to fight, and even if it is defeated, it doesn't seem to be of great significance.
It's all because the time comes......
Who do you say you will send?
Although wheat can be grown in places such as Luocheng, the capital of Tibet, it is still much worse than that of the Tang Dynasty.
Tibet also does not have the same huge development potential as Liaodong and Jiaozhi.
The only thing that may have a little benefit is probably that this place is relatively close to Tianzhu. However......
….
Even then, it would be a mountain climb.
The road to Tianzhu is not easy.
Therefore......
I guess no one wants to go to this place.
But......
If you don't hit it, it won't accept it.
Then you have to give it a try.
What is not done in the history books, let Li Chong finish it.
……
Two months later.
The capital city of Guizi.
Su Ding, who was guarding in the Western Regions, received a note and asked him to go to Shanzhou to take over the recruitment there.
The number of people is 20,000.
Other than that......
I also want to bring Tuyuhun with me.
Murong Nuo saw Li Er's will, and said in his heart!
The next step for Datang to fight is to fight Tubo, whether to say it or not, what makes Murong Nuo feel fortunate is that Datang has already beaten them.
[In other words,At present, it is the best to read aloud and listen to books.,Change the source,.huann.install the latest version.] 】
Since it was Datang's order, of course it had to be done.
And what Li Chong said to the envoys, Murong Nuo also learned from the mouths of the envoys he sent out.
To put it simply, as long as he does not betray Datang, he can always enjoy his current identity and status.
If he wants to rebel against Tang and stand on his own, then I'm sorry.
When the time comes, it may be like those countries in Goguryeo.
Yanping for nine years.
Su Dingfang arrived in Shanzhou.
Then, it was clear what I should do next.
First of all!
It's about building a fortress.
Although it is all a plateau, there are not many resources to build all kinds of castles and castles.
But!
As long as you work hard, you can still do it.
And......
He can also requisition Tuyuhun's army, which is even more convenient.
One in Dafeichuan, one in Wuhai, and one in Sun Boru.
In the early stage, it may take at least two years.
And also......
In the meantime, there may be wars.
As a result, they immediately began to adapt to the habits of the plateau.
Yes!
Su Dingfang's group of 20,000 people, as long as they go up to the plateau, they will not come down next.
Sleep directly in the tent at night.
Other than that......
Maybe you'll have to learn how to herd cattle and sheep.
Of course! This can be completely left to Tuyuhun's servant army.
Then logistics materials such as wheat were all in charge of Liu Renliang, who was in Shanzhou later.
Liu Renliang also didn't expect that not long after the Tang Dynasty had just Liaodong and the Western Regions, he immediately attacked Tubo again.
If it was before, then he would definitely be against it.
But now......
Looking at the mountains of grain that have been piled up in Shanzhou City, indeed!
If you don't consume it, it seems that the food in this granary will be a little wasted.
For the strategy formulated by Li Zhong and Li Er.
How to say it.
After all, Liu Renliang didn't have the relevant knowledge and experience at the beginning, he only knew that Tubo had a cold miasma, and let the Tang soldiers stay in the cold miasma, wouldn't that be looking for death?
It wasn't until he wrote the recital and returned to Chang'an, and then Li Chongyi explained it, that he was relieved.
All I can say is......
It's terrible to be uneducated.
Liu Renliang himself also felt that he was a little embarrassed this time.
But......
How can this prince and master know everything?
He's obviously in Chang'an!
No matter what, next, he just needs to take good care of the grain and grass for Su Dingfang.
Xue Rengui also came with him this time.
To be honest, Xue Rengui didn't like to be Li Chengqian's bodyguard, because it was very good and safe to stay in Chang'an City as a guard.
But it didn't make any military achievements.
Even if a few of them are very valued by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The question is...... It is also important to look at military merits.
Then, when he saw Su Dingfang again, Xue Rengui rode a horse and followed Su Dingfang and said:
"I smell military exploits!"
Su Dingfang was also a little surprised, he put down the binoculars and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" Note! There's an enemy ahead!"
