"As the virtuous brother said, the trouble of Tibet is indeed not something that can be solved overnight."

Wei Gao saw that Guo Ying didn't say anything, but was reasonable, so he couldn't help but secretly admire, picked up the wine glass again, and lifted it away.

"Then the strategy of the virtuous brother is nothing more than to combine the vertical and horizontal, return to the power of the Nanzhao and eat the power of the countries, or carry out a plan of discord, so that the Tubo monarchs and ministers are suspicious, and they are born with civil strife."

Guo Ying took a sip of mellow wine, and said with a smile on his chin: "Brother Wei, if you really hit the nail on the head, you can't hide everything from you!"

The strategy I offer is to go north and Hui, south to Yunnan, west to eat and Tianzhu, so that Tibet is self-trapped; Hui and He, then Tubo did not dare to offend lightly, the second move to Yunnan, is to cut off the right arm of Tubo, the big food is the strongest in the Western Regions, and Tianzhu admires China, and the enemy of Tubo can also be recruited. ”

"This is the best policy, and it is also a good policy, but it may not be effective without a few years of work." Wei Gao frowned and thought for a while, then said after consideration: "Now that Helong is almost gone, the situation in Anxi is unknown, I am afraid that this strategy will not be effective." ”

Guo Ying was silent for a while.

Historically, in addition to waiting for a holy decree to add an official to the knight, Anxi Court did not wait for a coin, a bunch of grain and grass, and a reinforcement.

That is, in this year after year of perseverance, those veterans with gorgeous hair and white sideburns gradually withered, and finally buried their bones in the battlefield, and those green silk girls also condensed their lives into Huazhang.

Only the heart of Huanghuang to the Han has never been extinguished.

It's just that the imperial court has failed them after all.

Bai Juyi said in "Xiliang Ling" that "there are 100,000 soldiers on the edge of the border, and they are full of food and warm clothes to spend their days", and it is of course biased to leave the responsibility of not recovering the lost land to the soldiers.

However, "usually Anxi Wanlijiang, today the border defense is in Fengxiang", "the remnants of the intestines are broken in Liangzhou, and the generals have no intention of receiving it", and it is also a fact that the Son of Heaven and the ministers openly proposed to recover Helong.

"Brother Xian, since you have such a long-term view, I think there is a strategy that is applicable to the present, so you might as well talk about it and listen to it with me."

Wei Gao's voice broke the silence.

Guo Ying raised his eyes to look, but seeing him looking at him with an earnest face, Fan Ze and Guo Yu also looked focused, obviously very interested.

When this kind of talent should be performed, Guo Ying naturally will no longer hide his clumsiness, bows his head slightly, and begins to talk eloquently.

"I think that at this time, the most important thing is to curb the trend of Tibet."

It can't be seen or touched, but it's real.

People have might, soldiers have troops, and the country has the power of the country.

It's the same as the human heart.

The envoys of the Song Dynasty once said that the Jin people are like tigers, horses are like dragons, they go up the mountain into the ape, and they go into the water into the se, and their momentum is like Mount Tai, and China is like tired eggs, which is the potential.

Now Tubo has taken the Tang Prefecture County, although it has been defeated occasionally, but its momentum is still unstoppable.

Because Tubo is always the attacking side, and Datang is the defending side, from the perspective of a bystander, the offensive and defensive forces have changed momentum.

"How to curb the Tibetan trend?" Wei Gao asked.

"Offense instead of defense!" Guo Ying said categorically.

"If I am the envoy of Jingyuan Jiedu, I will build a city at the mouth of Danzheng Gorge to curb the west road of Tubo's army, so that it is peaceful and cool, so that the general can lead a partial division in this tuntian, self-sufficient.

If the Tibetan detour comes, I will take a heavy army under the Linjing step, let him stop the army under the fortified city, if he wants to withdraw the army, our division in Pingliang will wait for the opportunity to move, or hit its flank, or hit its tail. ”

"If I am the envoy of the Fengxiang Festival, I will take advantage of the gap between March and August when the Tubo army returns to Qinghai to herd horses, send the elite to cross Longshan, go straight to Longyou, attack its tribe, kill its Ding Zhuang, burn its tents, seize its cattle and horses, plunder its women, and all the gains will be owned by the soldiers, so that the Tubo army will not be stable......"

"This strategy is as Han Wu said, Kou can go, I can also go, like the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, wonderful."

Before Guo Ying finished speaking, Fan Ze couldn't help but high-five, his face was full of admiration, and his mouth was full of praise: "The virtuous brother is far-sighted, and he is really an extraordinary person."

It's just that the foolish brother has a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not? ”

"Brother Fan, please speak?"

"Your strategy is to deploy heavy troops for defense, and you want to deploy partial divisions in Tuntian, where do the soldiers come from? Where will it come from? ”

"The soldiers said that they could follow the example of the Tuntian in the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty and levy prisoners and criminals, and if it was not enough, they would recruit thousands of party sons and daughters from the northwest prefectures.

As for the generals, when did my Tang Dynasty lack famous generals, in my opinion, the two brothers have the talent of generals, enough to rule a town, not to mention a partial division. ”

Guo Ying bowed slightly, smiled humbly, and his posture was extremely low.

These are the words he meant from the bottom of his heart.

Don't look at what he says on paper, but Wei Gao is a famous general who has left a name in history, and in front of him, Guo Ying is really embarrassed to hold up.

In fact, Wei Gao and Fan Ze did not know about the soldiers, and they even had no concept of how to command the soldiers and horses and how to set up camp.

But Guo Ying's words were as comfortable as spring breeze and rain in the ears of the two, so that the two of them dispersed the doubts in their hearts, only to feel the pride in their chests, and they couldn't help but stand up and laugh loudly.

"The virtuous brother praises falsely, and he is ashamed of his brother." Wei Gao shook his head and smiled very happily: "But I came to visit this trip, and I also had the idea of going to the Western Xinjiang with the virtuous brother and gaining fame together, I don't know what the virtuous brother thinks?" ”

"I can't ask for it."

Guo Ying heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and immediately smiled, and hurriedly hugged his fists in return: "Brother Wei is willing to go along, which is the luck of the younger brother!" ”

Immediately, he turned to Fan Ze again, and asked with a smile: "I don't know Brother Fan, are you willing to go to the Western Xinjiang with me and conspire with me to make great things?" ”

"Haha, the virtuous brother is warmly invited, and there is a reason to refuse."

Fan Ze also laughed heartily: "There are some incomprehensible points in the art of war to ask for advice, the virtuous brother you are from a family and have a profound family knowledge, and I hope that the virtuous brother will not dislike being rude as a brother." ”

He made such a choice because he had some considerations.

First of all, the virtuous and good Fang Zheng can bluntly say that the extreme admonition department is not so easy to test, not to mention the college entrance examination compared to later generations, thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge, but it is almost the same.

Even if you pass the exam, most of them are awarded seven or eight grades, if you don't have the appreciation of high-ranking officials and nobles, it is estimated that you will have to waste more than ten years.

That's it, there may not be a day to get ahead.

It's better to follow Guo Ying for a year or two, if not, then go back to Chang'an, anyway, next year the virtuous and good Fang Zheng can speak bluntly and take the exam.

"Where, where can I talk about the art of war with a tiger and bear general like Brother Fan, it is really a blessing for Yingsansheng."

Guo Ying didn't know what he was thinking, so he gave another salute and politely greeted him.

After a while of chatting, this banquet of both guests and hosts came to an end.

After the banquet, Guo Yu went back to the room to serve the princess.

Guo Ying and the three of them slept together, just like Liu Guanzhang.
