Lu Dongzan asked Tushi: "Have you heard about the Wei room and Goguryeo?" ”

Because of the Tang army's blockage, the communication between Tushi and the Tang Dynasty had long been cut off, so it was a little strange why Lu Dongzan asked this, he was puzzled: "I haven't heard of it, my contact with the Tang Dynasty informant was cut off at the beginning of the war, what?" Wei Room and Goguryeo will not have been defeated, the people of Wei Room and the mountains and wilderness, it is not so easy to exterminate, Goguryeo has no less than 200,000 male soldiers, that is, 200,000 pigs are placed in the wilderness for the Tang army to kill, and they have to be killed for more than a month. ”

Lu Dongzan smiled disdainfully: "It's similar to what you guessed, more than 100,000 horses and horses in the Wei room against the Tang army were about to collapse at the touch of a button, not to mention the loss of troops, and the land was also annexed by the Tang Dynasty by as much as one-third, and now it has retreated back into the mountains." Goguryeo is even more bizarre, because Gao Jianwu withheld military salaries, Yuangai Suwen rebelled directly in front of the battle, leaving more than 100,000 troops, and bringing people and horses to fight with Gao Jianwu in their capital Marudu Mountain City, it is estimated that Goguryeo will finish this time. ”

Hearing this, he laughed at himself and said: "Once this battle is over, I'm afraid that except for you Tubo who can't go up to the plateau because of the natural qi barrier, you can rely on this to save you, I'm afraid that our three kingdoms are almost over." ”

Hearing Tu Shi say this, Lu Dongzan smiled embarrassedly, knowing that he had lost his words, but he knew that if he couldn't win this battle, his fate would be no different from Tu Shi, and many of the nobles in Tubo would no longer look for opportunities to replace themselves all the time, and if he was defeated, he would lose the strength to gain a foothold in Tubo.

Lu Dongzan took a sip of wine and said: "Let's talk about the present, this time it has been verified that wheel warfare is not effective against the Tang Army's mine warfare, so we have to change our tactics." ”

"I don't know if the prime minister has any good advice, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"We can't continue to fill this pit with our subordinate soldiers, I can't afford this kind of meaningless loss, I believe that you are the same as King Tushi."

Tu Shi nodded, agreeing with Lu Dongzan's words.

Lu Dong praised: "I don't know how many live cattle and sheep there are in your camp?" ”

Tu Shi thought for a while and said: "There are almost 500,000 sheep and 200,000 cattle. ”

"Thunder."

"What does the prime minister mean to drive the cattle and sheep in front of the military formation to destroy the Tang army's mine formation?"

"That's all it needs for now."

After Lu Dongzan finished speaking, Tu Shi fell into contemplation, these cattle and sheep are the military food of the coalition army, once they are consumed, there is not much food left in the army, you must know that live cattle and sheep do not need people to prepare forage for it, but they can provide people with meat, meat is the staple food of the tribes of the coalition army, counting on the pitiful amount of food, it can be eaten for four or five days after death, this is very risky.

Lu Dongzan saw the difficulties of Tushi and asked, "What are the difficulties of King Tushi?" ”

Isn't this knowingly asking, isn't the composition of the military rations of you and me the same? Tu Shi still had to explain: "The Great Minister knows, these cattle and sheep are the main military food of our coalition army, if it is consumed in large quantities, the remaining stored grain will only be able to support it for a few days, at most I can only take out 100,000 cattle and sheep, I don't know how much the Great Minister can produce?" ”

Lu Dong praised: "This time the army is in a hurry, most of the grain brought by my department is barley and potatoes, we are not more cattle and sheep there than you here, so we are all brought, so how about it, you send 300,000 cattle and sheep, I Tubo is responsible for supplying you with barley and potatoes, of course, there will be some jerky." ”

I'm rubbing, despicable and shameless Lu Dongzan, you have few cattle and sheep, but you have a lot of yaks, barley and potatoes? So how can it compare to beef and mutton? If you don't eat meat, you let us get on the horse and kill the enemy.

Tu Shi looked at Lu Dongzan and didn't speak, thinking about it. Lu Dongzan may also be embarrassed by his stinginess, and coughed dryly: "You know, it is not easy to transport things down from the plateau, your 145,000 horses, plus my more than 200,000 people, if you want to ensure continuous supply, I have to search the country, you know how dangerous this situation will be." ”

Tu Shi thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "I will give 150,000 cattle and sheep, you will give 50,000, no cattle, sheep and yaks can be, if it doesn't work anymore, I can only take my clansmen to the west." ”

Lu Dongzan saw that Tu Shi's words were all spoken, knowing that this was already the bottom line of Tu Shi, and it was useless for you to say it well, after all, everyone is not stupid, putting the army in danger, and on the premise that there is no certainty of victory, that is the way to death.

Lu Dongzan slapped the table, stood up and said: "Okay, just do as you say, in five days, we will gather these livestock and attack the Tang army again, success or failure is in this move, I hope you and I will work together." ”

"Please be relieved, if there is a chance, we are not willing to leave our homeland, no, in one, those warriors who died innocently still need to be comforted with the blood of the Tang Army."

Lu Dongzan nodded and went to prepare.
