In the empty Penglai Palace, Li Xuan stood in the hall and bowed his hand to the emperor Li Zhi above.

"Your Majesty, take the Turks as an example: the third year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Turkic Khan State, the third year of the former Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty, the split of the Eastern and Western Turks, the fourth year of Zhenguan, the first emperor destroyed the Eastern Turks, and in the second year of Xianqing, Your Majesty suppressed the Western Turks, and the Turks existed for nearly a hundred years."

Speaking of this, Li Xuan paused slightly, and then continued: "It's not that the ministers slander the generals, but compared to Wei Guogong and Xing Guogong, the generals in the court are much inferior, even if the king of Wenxi County is a lot worse, if Xing Guogong led the army back then, even if there is Guo to be sealed and his people, he can fight steadily, and there will not be the defeat of Dafeichuan back then, so now if you want to pacify Tubo, you should fight steadily."

Li Zhi's face was a little unsightly for a while.

In the Battle of Dafeichuan that year, although the reason was that Guo Beifeng refused to accept Xue Rengui's control after relying on the famous general Guo Xiaoke, it was more because he was Li Zhi's cronies.

In the first palace examination of the Tang Dynasty that year, there were five people including Guo Zhifeng and Zhang Jiuling.

After that, Guo Zhifeng successively served under Li Ji and Pei Xingjian, and was promoted many times, and finally became the general of Zuobao Taowei, the deputy head of the Luo Suo Dao march, and the emperor's favor, so he was naturally dissatisfied with Xue Rengui, and then there were all kinds of things.

The king of Wenxi County is Pei Xingjian, the current secretary of the Ministry of War, and after Xue Rengui's accident, he is the top commander of the Tang Dynasty.

But he is the apprentice of Su Dingfang, the Duke of Xingguo, although he has outstanding achievements, but he is far superior to his ancestors, but he is not enough.

At least Li Zhi is not good at refutating now, suppressing the ups and downs in his heart, Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan and asked, "How to fight steadily?"

"First of all, when the first battle is defeated, under the plateau, kill the enemy as much as possible," Li Xuan arched his hand and said, "If the courtier's guess is correct, once I start a war with the Tibetans, then the Tibetans will definitely start with a deceitful defeat, and then lure our army to go deeper, and finally cut off our army's food and grass, force our army to retreat, and when we are exhausted, then brazenly break into the ......."

Looking at Li Zhi's embarrassed face, Li Xuan subconsciously closed his voice.

"This kind of question was also raised by someone in the military department at that time, but some people retorted that as long as they moved fast enough, they could quickly seize the main force of Tubo and annihilate it in one fell swoop." Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan with fierce eyes.

"This is a fluke, not the right way to go." Li Xuan bowed his hand, and then said: "Over the years, although Tubo has continued to learn from our dynasty, it is still dominated by tribes, except for the royal army, most of the soldiers are hidden in various tribes, even if we can destroy one of its main forces, but who knows, Tubo will not be able to organize another main force, once the army penetrates, it will be cut off from supplies......

"At the end of the day, it's a matter of supplies." Li Zhi finally understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Li Xuan arched his hand slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, supply is life, supply line is lifeline, once the supply is cut off, under the wavering of the army's heart, it is very difficult to predict, so we need to fight steadily."

The supply line is the lifeline, and similar statements have been made before, but the first time it was clearly put forward, it was Li Xuan.

The battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, starting from the Taizong Dynasty, lasted Gaozong, Empress Wu, Xuanzong, Suzong and many dynasties, and there were many wars in the middle, but they failed to defeat after all, and in the end Tubo only died of self-defeat, so Li Xuan knew best that if he wanted to destroy Tubo, he must not be in a hurry.

Li Xuan looked at Li Zhi, who was frowning, and said softly: "Therefore, when sending troops to Tibet, the establishment of a stable supply point is the first, although it is not a strong city like Chang'an, but build a small city, send large soldiers to garrison, and even build five cities today, and ten cities tomorrow, our dynasty can enter at any time, build it frequently, invade it more urgently, engulf and migrate the people, and as time goes by, the land of Tubo is all Tang Realm, and one will eliminate the other......

"It takes a long time, it costs more than 10,000 yuan, although it can be offset by relocating people, but it sounds easy to do this, but it must take a hundred years to do it." Li Zhi glanced at the map on the side, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.

Although Tibet is not as large as the Tang Dynasty, it also has an area of four to five million square kilometers.

It is not easy to completely exterminate it, and the capital of Tibet is on the north side of the Himalayas, where the Tantric holy land is located.

More

To the west, the higher the terrain, the more unfavorable it is to the Tang soldiers.

Although Li Xuan's method is safe, and he can even take the opportunity to alleviate the situation of insufficient land in China, it is too long.

"Your Majesty, there was the rule of Wenjing first, and then there was the prosperity of the Han Dynasty." Li Xuan bowed his hand slightly, and then spoke, saying: "Please forgive the ministers, Your Majesty's merits surpass the previous emperors, but you can't help but allow the merits of the kings of later generations to surpass Your Majesty.

"Are you comforting me?" Li Zhi raised his head and looked at Li Xuan with a smile.

"Don't dare." Li Xuan hurriedly bowed down, and then said: "Your Majesty, once the plateau city is established, in fact, what should really be anxious is not our dynasty, but Tibet, which naturally has capable people who can see through the practices of our dynasty, and at that time, they will definitely concentrate their forces to prevent our army from building cities, destroying cities, and even taking away cities that have already been built."

"Will the city built by my dynasty be taken away by their generation, and then used by them to stop our dynasty?" Li Zhi's face suddenly became very unsightly.

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing." Li Xuan bowed his hand again and said: "The plateau is vast, and the Tibetan army can come and go like the wind, but if there is a city as a fetter, then they must send troops to defend the city, so that their soldiers will no longer come and go like the wind, and under the siege and defense of the city, the Tubo soldiers will be depleted, and in a few years, their national strength will definitely decline."

Li Zhi nodded in surprise, there was such a murderous motive hidden in this.

With a long sigh, Li Zhi said, "Now I understand how easily you were able to quell the Tianyin Sect bandits."

Before Li Xuan arrived in Wuzhou, the forces of the Tianyin Sect had spread all over the Wuyue Prefectures, but Li Xuan directly strangled the passage of the Tianyin army into Wuzhou, and even forced the Tianyin Sect to go forward and kill frantically with a Meiling Pass.

In the end, with a fire, the main force of the Tianyin Sect in the south was completely pacified.

If so, that's what happened.

"If Your Majesty decrees that all parties are not allowed to trade with Tibet, then this matter will be more certain." Li Xuan bowed down again and handed out a murderous knife in a low voice.

Li Zhi raised his head in astonishment, and after thinking for a moment, he said slowly: "After you go back to this matter, you write a notebook, and no one else is allowed to hear it except me."

"Obey." Li Xuan bowed again, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

Attacking Tubo has never been a simple matter, and Li Xuan thinks that he does not have the ability of Su Dingfang and Li Jizhi, so he can only use stupid methods to do things.

However, whether Li Zhi will take his method or not, then Li Xuan does not know.

The person who is really anxious now is Li Zhi, after all, he has not had a few years.

Li Xuan himself is a good doctor, and he believes that some people in the Tai Hospital may have found out about Li Zhi's physical condition, but no one dares to say a word.

Li Zhi himself is afraid that he is also aware of it, after all, it is his own body.

Under a long-term illness, although it is not a good doctor, it should be aware of it.

Li Zhi pressed his head, and then beckoned to the side, Wang Fulai immediately stepped forward to help Li Zhi wipe his forehead, and then put a plaster on Li Zhi's forehead, and Li Zhi immediately felt comfortable.

After a little relief, Li Zhi looked down at Li Xuan and said appreciatively, "The doctor Guo you found in Yangzhou, I have already taken the person to the Tai Hospital, and you have done a good job in this matter."

"It would be nice to be useful for His Majesty's illness." Li Xuan bowed slightly, and then said, "Actually, the minister in Wuzhou is also continuing to search for local famous doctors."

"There are so many famous doctors in the world, in the past twenty years, I have collected all the famous doctors I can collect by my side, how can others be so easy to find." Li Zhi sighed slightly, his own illness, he knew that unless he used a cruel craniotomy, it could not be cured at all.

There are so many top medical masters around him, and there are many Taoist Buddhas.

But under the majesty of the royal dragon aura, how many people's abilities can be effective.

"Your Majesty." Li Xuan's clear voice came, calling Li Zhi's thoughts back, looking at the young and clear figure standing in the hall, Li Zhi smiled gently

, said, "What else is the matter with Twenty-Seven Lang?"

Li Xuan hesitated slightly, but still said, "Wechen actually found clues about the descendants of the divine doctor Bian Que in Wuzhou......

"Oh?" Li Zhi immediately became interested and sat up straight.

Wang Fulai on the side also looked at Li Xuan with excitement on his face.

Li Xuan flicked the hem of his clothes, knelt on the ground, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the minister searched through the Wuzhou Prefecture Chronicles, only to turn to the Nanchen period, there was a Qin doctor who once practiced medicine in Wuzhou, and it is rumored that he is a descendant of Bian Que, although there are not many records of this person, but the span before and after is more than 30 years."

"Oh, doesn't that mean that you are living in seclusion in Wuzhou?" Li Zhi immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

"The minister also thinks so, however, the minister has searched for Qin famous doctors in the entire Wuzhou, and the standard is actually average, as for other famous doctors in Wuzhou, it is difficult to propose effective treatment methods for His Majesty's wind disease."

After a pause, Li Xuan said cautiously, "Therefore, the courtier's brother suspects that this Qin famous doctor either moved to another place later, or after the death of the person, the descendants did not inherit his medical skills, and he did not know everyone, or he had no descendants at all."

Li Zhi showed a trace of disappointment in his eyes, he only now understood the hesitation in Li Xuan's eyes, he was afraid that he would not find anything to disappoint him, but he saw such a hard work, and wanted to give him some joy.

Li Zhi felt a trace of satisfaction and a hint of relief from his heart for a while.

After thinking for a while, Li Zhi opened his mouth and said: "From the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty to today, how many inheritances have been severed, I plan to build a hundred art halls, the king of Nanchang, after returning to Wuzhou, I can collect similar manpower, if you really have a gain, I will remember your work."

"The courtier understands that after the courtier returns, he will definitely go all over the mountains and wilderness, looking for skilled craftsmen in the world, and at the same time, he will also spread His Majesty's holy grace to the mountains and wilderness, build bridges, and renovate water conservancy farmland, so that even the villagers in remote corners can thank His Majesty for his kindness." Li Xuan bowed down again.

Li Zhi smiled and said, "That's it, on your wedding day, I won't go in person, you go to see Xian'er and let him go on my behalf."

"Brother thank you Your Majesty Longen, brother retired." Li Xuan immediately bowed down and retreated.

After Li Xuan left completely, Li Zhi's face gradually calmed down, and he said softly: "Twenty-seven Lang at least knows gratitude, but some people even forget how to write the word gratitude."

Bowing his head, Li Zhi lightly crossed the fold in front of him who didn't know who was playing, and then said: "Spread the decree, give Nanchang Wang Zhongnanshan Huangzhuang a pair, give Dechang County Junyu Ruyi a pair, a pair of Tongxin Pei, and a pearl."

"The old slave obeys." Wang Fulai immediately bowed, and then quietly retreated.

Li Zhi turned sideways again and looked at the map of Tibet on the wall.

Tubo is vast, and there is the power of the plateau, once the nest falls, it will soon be able to reach the city of Chang'an.

"A small city, or a Great Wall?"

Li Zhi extinguished the thoughts that flashed in his heart in a blink of an eye, it is impossible to defend it, but how to attack?

Defending instead of attacking, gradually encroaching, or the army broke in, straight into the heart.

Or, both.

A vague strategy appeared in Li Zhi's mind, and then gradually became clear.
