"Come on, let's eat and talk all these years, I know you have also suffered, throwing you in that place, this is not my intention, our Datang just needs someone to guard there, although now Tubo is divided into three, but from what you know there, their threat is still not small."

When Li Xiang and the two of them were chatting, a table of wine and food was already on the table, after Wei Chi Baolin took off the armor on his body, he saw that his skin was also tanned, and it seemed that the ultraviolet rays on the plateau were really powerful.

"That's the reason why I came back this time, I often write to the officials of the Imperial Military Department, from the meaning of their words, I can understand that not many people think that Tubo is a threat, they always think that we have occupied 1/3 of the power on the plateau, so we can take care of Songtsen Gampo people, if the whole Chang'an is like this, then we are really dangerous."

Yu Chi Baolin said earnestly, this time when he went back to Chang'an to report on his work, he could have found someone else to run around, but after thinking about it again, Yu Chi Baolin still felt that he should come back by himself.

First, it's because I haven't seen my family for a long time, and when I meet my family, I have to keep in touch with other people, so I don't have to worry about it because I am out of touch with Chang'an City in that place on the plateau, so no matter how much credit you do, you may not be remembered in the end.

Fortunately, the canonization of the Tiance General's Mansion was given to him, and he also knew that Li Xiang had not forgotten that although he did not become the two generals on the left and right, Wei Chi Baolin also understood that there was still a gap between his qualifications and those two generals, and it was not easy to be one of the 8 deputy generals.

"The thing you mentioned does exist, not only the officials of the Ministry of War have such thoughts, including some other generals of the Tang Dynasty, we have also sent back a lot of gains on the plateau over the years, and they regard the plateau as the same place as Goguryeo, which is actually completely different."

Speaking of this matter, Li Xiang also agreed, in the eyes of many Tang people, is Tubo different from Goguryeo?

"When I wrote a few letters ago, I had already told me about the specific situation in Tibet, the Tusi masters still have 70,000 troops in their hands, and the Songtsan cadres still have nearly 90,000 troops in their hands, which has already exploited them to the limit, and if they continue to exploit them, it may cause them to fight."

Li Xiang also left some notes when he left, and they all followed these suggestions, that is, in addition to waging war, they should vigorously weaken the Tusi master and Songtsan cadres.

So far, the results have been good, but these effects have reached the limit, and even if they continue to do so, the weakening of both sides will be extremely limited. And at present, those Tusi masters seem to have figured it out, and even some people have already made contact with the Holy City in private.

"Neither of us are outsiders, you tell me the truth, if the two of them are united, what can you make the plateau look like?"

Now there are not many troops in Datang on the plateau, which add up to about 9,000 people, mainly because the logistics are difficult to supply, and many soldiers are not adaptable, after so long, more than 9,000 people can adapt.

"The area under my control now accounts for about 1/3 of the plateau, and it is produced on the plateau, and if the grain area is a three-way scuffle, then the area under my control will be reduced by at least 1/3."

For such a thing, Yu Chi Baolin has already calculated many times, so when Li Xiang asked this question, Yu Chi Baolin did not have any delay, and directly said the answer that he had calculated many times before.

This number is not small, now among the three forces, Yu Chi Baolin can be said to be the weakest, once you lose 1/3, then the strength of the other two parties will be strengthened, the most important thing is to get a batch of grain producing areas, this is the biggest strengthening for them, and the most lacking thing on the plateau is also food.

"In addition to reporting these things when you come back this time, do you want me to change my strategy, not to use troops against the two countries in the south first, and to deal with the Songtsam cadres first?"

Li Xiang suddenly thought of this, Yu Chi Baolin galloped all the way, and he must have this idea, after all, the threat of Tubo is there, although the policies of these years have been effective, but the Tubo people are not stupid, they have already begun to change.

"If it were possible, of course I would like His Highness to change his mind, but I know that His Highness is an assertive person."

When Wei Chi Baolin said this, it means that he can control the situation on the plateau, and 9,000 people will lose the area he defends, and if he adds some troops, then some things will be different.

"I have a bold idea, isn't the relationship between the two families very good now? Then we will throw a handful of firewood to them, of course, it is not the way it was back then, they have already learned that way, since we are going to throw away this 1/3 of the grain-producing area, it is better for us to take the initiative to give up. ”

Yu Chi Baolin knew that Li Xiang had a way, but he didn't expect Li Xiang's method to be so bold, if we take the initiative to give up this 1/3 of the grain production area, then whether it is the Tusi master or the Songtsam cadres, they will work hard to occupy this 1/3 of the grain production area, after all, whoever gets this grain production area may become the most powerful force on the plateau.

Don't look at the fact that they are almost cooperating now, if there is really 1/3 of the grain-producing areas thrown there, maybe the two sides will be able to fight immediately, and it will have to be like you are fighting to the death, in the face of real interests, what old ancestors and the like are.

"Of course, I'm just an idea, after all, I've been away from the plateau for a long time, if it's wrong, you can directly refute it, let's still do it in the same way, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, the more objections you put forward, and in the end this matter can be passed."

Li Xiang frowned when he saw Yu Chi Baolin, and thought that his method should also have some drawbacks, after all, this is a bit taken for granted, in case the other party is half of a person, then some things may not be easy to say, and then we will be the one who suffers the most, and we will lose our wife and soldiers in a pure way.

"It's possible, but we need to do something......"

Yu Chi Baolin thought for a long time and said solemnly.
