"Your Majesty." Li Xuan stood in the main hall and said seriously: "The so-called plateau miasma, to put it in detail, is actually three ways to attack. ”

"Oh!" Li Zhi sat on the imperial couch, suddenly became interested, straightened up, nodded and said, "You continue." ”

Plateau miasma, as soon as you hear it, you know that it is related to the plateau.

People are fine in the plains, but as soon as they arrive at the plateau, they immediately become ill, and they get better quickly when they get off the plateau.

After the defeat of Dafeichuan, the DPRK and China have studied the plateau miasma, but they only found out his appearance, and they are not clear about the root cause and how to treat it.

Li Xuan is the most fruitful person in the treatment of plateau miasma in the DPRK and China, and he also has the most right to speak.

The ministers in the palace also looked at Li Xuan closely, hoping to figure out the details.

"Your Majesty, people living between heaven and earth are like fish living in the sea, but compared to the water of fish, most of the qi we need is formless and shadowless, but it actually exists." Li Xuan pondered his tone, the question of atmospheric pressure is not easy to understand.

The emperor nodded slightly, Li Xuan's words were not difficult to understand, but it was not so easy to accept.

At this time, behind the curtain on the side, a voice suddenly sounded: "The husband is a big piece of gas, and its name is wind." It is the only thing to do, and the action is angry. ”

Li Xuan raised her eyebrows and looked sideways behind the curtain on one side.

Ming Chongyan, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, slowly walked out from behind, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a similar saying in "Zhuangzi Qi Wu Theory". ”

Li Zhi nodded, his expression was much more relaxed, he looked at Li Xuan and smiled, and said, "King Nanchang, you continue." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan bowed, well, comparing the atmosphere to the wind, it doesn't seem to be much of a problem.

Arching his hand, Li Xuan continued to speak: "Your Majesty, the atmosphere seems to be formless and substantial, but in fact, it has substance, but it is pressed on the body, extremely light, and it is usually not seen. ”

"You are saying that the qi between heaven and earth is heavy, and even in kind." Li Zhi directly understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

Only physical objects have weight, and the same is true of air.

"Fu Liezi walks against the wind, if it is a real thing, it is indeed solvable." Ming Chongyan nodded slightly, he seemed to have understood something.

"Not bad." Li Xuan nodded in agreement and said, "If it is against the wind, it is like riding a horse and a car, and it can be like an ancient sage." ”

Although the truth is biased, it seems that these smartest people in the Tang Dynasty in the hall have already understood something.

Li Zhi took the lead in waving his hand and said, "Go on." ”

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Your Majesty, between heaven and earth, there is heaven above and earth below, and there is qi covering the body, sympathizing with the inner heaven and earth, and it has been balanced; On the plateau, the air pressure is weak, and the inner heaven and earth that were originally under heavy pressure rebound, and if it is not strong enough, the internal organs in the body will be affected, and even the five qi will be chaotic and sick, which is the root of the plateau miasma. ”

The plateau low pressure messes up the original pressure system of the human body, and the human body will naturally get sick if it does not adapt to it.

"The air pressure of the outer heaven and earth is weakened, and the five qi of the inner heaven and earth leaks out, so I get sick." Ming Chongyan seems to be the first person to understand.

Inner heaven and earth, Taoist people understand best.

Li Xuan glanced at Ming Chongyan, after his transformation, although it was not so accurate, it was more understandable.

Li Zhi nodded, then looked at Li Xuan and said, "You continue." ”

"Yes!" Li Xuan arched his hand, and then said: "The change in air pressure, the chaos of the five qis, and the changes in the inner heaven and earth, which are the root of the plateau miasma, coupled with the lack of qi in the plateau and the earth, people can't adapt quickly, and they need to be sent to the bottom of the plateau." ”

"On the plateau, the Qi of heaven and earth is insufficient, shouldn't the Tubo people be weaker than us?" Ming Chongyan immediately grasped the ambiguity in Li Xuan's words.

The other people in the hall seemed to have acquiesced to Ming Chongyan's question, and at the same time looked at Li Xuan.

"The real person is wrong." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, and said: "The Qi of Heaven and Earth is insufficient, but it can be made up for by increasing breathing, and the breathing ability of the people of Tubo is stronger than ours, so their bodies, but those who can survive, actually have to be stronger." ”

Ming Chongyan was slightly stunned, thinking about the Tubo people they had encountered, although they were all special, their bodies were strong and ordinary.

Ming Chongyan turned around and bowed slightly to Li Zhi, he acquiesced to Li Xuan's opinion.

"If that's the case, King Nanchang, shouldn't my dynasty be the opponent of the Tubo people?" Li Zhi directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Your Majesty, it's not so." Li Xuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Qi is a thing, for people, the right amount is the best. When our soldiers arrived on the plateau, they were breathing and weakened, and in the same way, the Tibetans came to the bottom of the plateau and breathed too much, and they were also unwell, and they could be defeated by seizing the time. ”

After a slight pause, Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "This is the reason why our dynasty has been defeated many times on the plateau, while the Tubo people have been defeated many times under the plateau." ”

Li Zhi thought about the war for so many years, and it was indeed the case.

"But if I stay on the plateau for a long time, or if the Tibetan soldiers stay under the plateau for a long time, as the years go by, my body will adapt to the changes, and the situation will become dangerous." Li Xuan bowed heavily, but between his words, he had already cleared the biggest problem of the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.

"So, you've been advocating cannibalization from the beginning." Empress Wu suddenly spoke, and the eyes of all the ministers fell on Li Xuan at the same time.

Li Xuan arched his hand seriously and said, "That's true." ”

"So now, it is also feasible for me to let you start from Wuhai and encroach on Tibet step by step?" Li Zhi followed closely and asked.

"Yes!" Only then did Li Xuan realize that he had dug this pit for himself.

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, and then said: "Take Wuhai first, and I will see how the king of Nanchang solves the matter of long-term governance." ”

The ministers were all smart people, and they immediately realized that the emperor had made a final decision for the battle of Wuhai.

Take Wuhai, and then slowly encroach on Tibet.

More smart people thought that the emperor once praised Li Xuan, who was a rare general in the Tang Dynasty to defend the city.

Now it seems that it is more suitable for use in Wuhai.

"Your Majesty, there are some things that must be made clear after all." Empress Wu glanced at Li Zhi angrily, and threw all the problems to Li Xuan, this is not the way to govern the country.

Li Xuan hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief and saluted respectfully to Empress Wu.

Empress Wu waved her hand, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "You just said that there are three attack methods of the plateau miasma, you said two, what is the third one?" ”

"After returning to the sky, it is low temperature."

Li Xuan's expression became solemn, and he arched his hand: "The temperature of the plateau is generally lower than that of the plain, winter comes earlier, spring goes later, low temperature plus low pressure and low qi, the three work together, even if it is a carefully selected soldier, only half of it can adapt." ”

"But half of it isn't, as you said before, it's picked out in advance." Empress Wu leaned forward slightly, looked at Li Xuan and asked, "So, how to choose." ”

"Big Shake." Li Xuan arched his hand and said seriously: "In the Qilian Mountains, the Great Shaking Valley is located in the north of Tuolai South Mountain, and there is Shule South Mountain to the west, and the highest peak of Shule South Mountain is Mengke Peak, its terrain is higher than Wuhai, the air pressure is thin, the weather is cold, and that area is not far from Delingha and Liangzhou.

Now that area is owned by the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers are sent here in turn, and after March, the person who still has no problem is the main force of the army to conquer Tibet. ”

"The plateau miasma is broken." Xue Rengui muttered these words.

The ministers in the palace were stunned at the same time at this moment, and then they were solemn, and then looked at Li Zhi and Empress Wu, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to the Queen of Heaven, the plateau miasma is broken." ”

Li Zhi's face immediately showed incomparable excitement.

Indeed, the soldiers selected in this way will no longer be afraid of the plateau miasma.

Moreover, with the support of Liangzhou, Suzhou, Fuqicheng and Delingha, this selection method is much more moderate and effective.

Li Zhi just wanted to say something, and then he felt Empress Wu pat his arm.

Li Zhi glanced sideways, and Empress Wu pointed at Li Xuan.

Li Zhi immediately looked over, and then saw that the excitement on Li Xuan's face was far less obvious than that of others, and there was even a trace of worry.

"Everyone loves to be flat." Li Zhi looked at Li Xuan and asked directly, "King Nanchang, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xuan smiled bitterly, and then arched his hand: "It's still a matter of grain and grass transportation." ”

"Isn't there a waterwheel?" Li Zhi was slightly stunned, a little unclear.

Li Xuan said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know that the reason why the waterwheel can run in Hezhou and Kuozhou is mainly because of the steep terrain and the turbulent Yellow River.

At that time, even if the Tibetans were in possession of their colleagues, they could not cross the Yellow River to destroy the waterwheel, but now it is different in the Majishan Road.

Although it was rugged and difficult to navigate, and the amount of water was sufficient, it was also easier for the Tibetans to sneak in and destroy the waterwheel.

Even if you don't do it with the waterwheel, you only need to destroy the cable, and the waterwheel transportation will be cracked. ”

Li Zhi's face immediately became solemn.

There are two important problems in the battle of Wuhai, one is grain and grass, and the other is plateau miasma.

Originally, I thought that the grain and grass had been solved, but the remaining plateau miasma was difficult to solve.

Who would have thought that the plateau miasma was solved, and in the end, the problem of grain and grass could not be solved.

Li Xuan seriously bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, another reason why the waterwheel transportation took shape is because at that time, the Tubo people didn't know much about the waterwheel transportation, so they didn't care too much, but now, with the ability of the Qinling Tomb, how can the waterwheel be allowed to form again."

Once our army reaches the bottom of the Wuhai Sea, then they will inevitably make a detour into the mountain road and wreak havoc on waterwheels and cables, and our army will still be in a predicament. ”

After Li Xuan finished speaking, Xue Rengui and Liu Xianli's faces were not good-looking at the same time.

The key to their confidence in next year's battle lies in the transportation of water trucks.

You must know that the waterwheel transportation can not only transport grain and grass, but also transport soldiers.

Send the soldiers who have the plateau miasma down the mountain and the sturdy soldiers up the mountain, so the plateau miasma is actually not too much of a problem for them.

But now, as soon as the watermill is destroyed, the situation is immediately in a critical situation.

Even if it doesn't work out, everything will become the big Feichuan again.

"It's not entirely without a solution." Liu Renliang opened his mouth faintly at this time.

The eyes of the ministers looked at each other at the same time.

"Since we have to select elite soldiers, the number of soldiers who climb the Maji Snow Mountain is far less than originally expected, so it is possible for one person to ride twice." Liu Renliang instantly pointed out the key points that everyone ignored.

One person rides a horse, and the other horse carries grain, so that the transportation of grain and grass will be much easier.

"Not bad." Liu Xianli nodded and said: "The waterwheel transportation can still be used, many soldiers cannot land in Wuhai, but they can go deep into the mountains, explore the mountain roads, drive away the Tibetan scouts, and repair the destroyed waterwheels, although it is more troublesome than expected, but it is still useful." ”

"Not bad." Li Zhi nodded in agreement, the situation was indeed not as bad as Li Xuan said.

Li Zhi looked down at Li Xuan, seeing that he was still a little hesitant, and asked directly, "King Nanchang, what do you say?" ”

Li Xuan arched his hand and said: "In this way, in the mountains, as well as in the northern part of the bitter sea, I am afraid that a camp will have to be established." Especially in the northern part of Kuhai, as long as the mountain pass is held, then the Tibetan cavalry will not be able to bypass Wuhai and enter in a big way. ”

"Indeed, there should be such precautions." Li Zhi nodded, turned to look at Empress Wu, and asked in a low voice, "Empress, in this case, is the food and salary prepared?" ”

"Wuhai forwards, the number must not exceed five thousand, it is feasible." Empress Wu's eyes fell on Xue Rengui and Liu Xianli.

Whoever can take Wuhai with 5,000 men and defend Wuhai will be the commander of the army.
