"Why can't Qiangtang Road go?" Lu Xiaoning asked solemnly.

This time, he couldn't put on the majesty of Lu Tianshi like before.

The reason is also very simple, because the next battle to exterminate Tibet must have the full cooperation of Feng Changqing and the Anxi army.

If Feng Changqing and his subordinates Li Siye, Duan Xiushi and others could not be persuaded from the facts, the battle of extermination of Tibet envisioned by Lu Xiaoning would be a castle in the air.

Therefore, we must be patient and do a good job of persuasion.

Feng Changqing said: "Because the Qiangtang is thousands of miles uninhabited, and there are desert Gobi along the way, not to mention the provisions, the drinking water of people and horses is a problem." ”

Lu Xiaoning said: "Water is not a problem, this seat can find a plateau lake within a radius of several hundred miles." ”

The height of the monitoring has reached a kilometer, and according to the curvature of the earth, it is enough to find a lake 100 kilometers away, and considering the influence of complex terrain, there is no problem in finding a lake 50 kilometers away.

Although Qiangtang is a deserted and uninhabited area, there are a large number of lakes scattered around.

Li Siye said: "Can Lu Tianshi know that most of the lakes in Qiangtang are saltwater lakes? Centaurs are difficult to drink. ”

Lu Xiaoning said: "There is no problem with the saltwater lake, this seat has its own way to turn saltwater into fresh water." ”

"This ......" Li Siye was stunned when he heard this, but he forgot that Lu Tianshi was an Upper Realm Immortal, since he said it, then it should be no problem to turn salt water into fresh water.

Feng Changqing said: "Even though Master Lu Tianshi has a way to turn salt water into fresh water, what about the grain and grass? The Qiangtang Road is two or three thousand miles away, even if it is calculated according to the daily journey of fifty miles, it will take three months of grain and grass, if you prepare from Anxi, not to mention whether you can prepare all these many grains and grass, just transporting so much grain and grass will drag down the army. ”

Li Siye said: "Yes, as the so-called army has not moved the grain and grass first, the most difficult thing in all battles throughout the ages is the rotation of grain and grass, especially the transfer of grain and grass thousands of miles away, which is enough to drag a country down." ”

Feng Changqing thought deeply and said: "The Great Sui was dragged down because of this. ”

At this point, Lu Xiaoning also admitted that it is indeed difficult to transport grain from long distances by land.

In order to transfer the grain that supported the millions of troops to Liaodong, Emperor Yang of Sui collected a full three million people, so that the people's grievances boiled, and the people could not survive, so they could only rise up, and the powerful Sui perished.

But this is not unsolvable for Lu Xiaoning.

Because there was an army in history that solved this problem perfectly.

At that moment, Lu Xiaoning asked Feng Changqing rhetorically: "Qiangtang is full of Gobi for thousands of miles, and there are no grass beaches?" ”

"Not really, there are still some grass beaches." Feng Changqing hurriedly said, "It's just that the grassland in Qiangtang is far more barren and sparse than the grassland in other places, so it can't bear the long-term grazing of cattle, sheep and horses, so it is uninhabited." ”

"As long as there is a grassy beach, it is enough to withstand a nomadic herd of cattle, sheep and horses." Lu Xiaoning paused, and then continued, "At that time, we will drive cattle, sheep and horses to march together, and we should choose more ewes and cows as much as possible, and in addition to war horses, we should also choose as many mares as possible, because mares can provide mare's milk when they give birth." ”

This is the secret of the Mongol cavalry, the logistics of movement.

Feng Changqing and Li Siye began to think seriously.

In the end, they are all famous generals, and the basic military literacy is there.

Many things are like that, if you don't know, you can't think of it, but once you pierce through that layer of window paper, you can understand the trick in an instant, and this is the case with the mobile logistics of the Mongolian cavalry.

In fact, once Tang Jun masters this method, he will only do better.

Lu Xiaoning was not in a hurry, but quietly watched Feng Changqing and Li Siye calculate.

After a long time, Li Siye said: "Lu Tianshi's method can indeed solve the problem of supply, but there is still a great difficulty, that is, it is impossible to carry siege equipment, and Tibet is a bitter cold place on the plateau, not to mention a big tree, even a small tree one person high is difficult to find, so even if the army kills Luo, due to the lack of siege equipment, it can still only be stopped under the fortified city, once the reinforcements of Tubo are killed on all sides, there is a risk of destruction." ”

However, this time, without waiting for Lu Xiaoning to speak, Feng Changqing waved his hand and said: "This matter is not difficult to do, as long as the Great Bolu Country and Yangtong Country put on a posture of large troops to suppress the territory, then Tubo will inevitably mobilize a large army to fight, so that the Luo will inevitably be empty. ”

"This ......" Li Siye was heartbroken, "Jie Shuai, this strategy is feasible!" ”

At this point, Li Siye has realized the feasibility of this plan.

The problem of grain and grass drinking water in Qiangtang was solved, and Qiangtang Road was no longer a taboo place for the Tang Army.

If the main force of the Tubo army can be transferred away, it will be possible to take advantage of the weakness to capture some cities.

With the power structure of Tibet, once the cities of Luo fell to collapse, the collapse was almost inevitable.

What's more, Tubo has already suffered internal and external troubles, and the prestige of Zampu with Zhudan is not as good as before.

Needless to say, Feng Changqing has already moved his heart at this moment, but after all, he is a temperance envoy, so he thinks about more issues or concerns, and the most important thing is actually the issue of authority.

Li Longji still has a lot of power over the major feudal towns.

For example, An Lushan often launched the war against Xi on his own, Gao Xianzhi destroyed the country at every turn in Anxi, and Feng Changqing also did not ask the Tang Dynasty for the Tang Dynasty to launch the Great Bolu War.

But the battle of extermination is different, and the impact is too great.

So Feng Changqing has concerns, should he ask for a decree first?

He was worried that the extinction of Tibet might not be a surprise to Chang'an or a saint, but a fright, you Feng Changqing is so good? Without saying a word, Tubo, who had been confronting the Tang Dynasty for more than 100 years, was wiped out? Then if you follow this logic, will you be able to replace our Li Tang without saying a word another day?

Seeing that Feng Changqing was silent, Lu Xiaoning also said that he was worried about how to distribute his merits.

So Lu Xiaoning said: "Feng Changqing, this seat will not compete with you for the merits of the war, the great merit of the battle to destroy Tibet belongs to you and all the soldiers of the Anxi Army, and in the future, it will only be recorded in the history books that you destroyed Tubo, and there will be no half-word record about this seat, now are you relieved?" ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiaoning's heart suddenly moved.

If all of them were to do this, many unsolved cases in history would seem to make sense.

For example, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu was in such an unfavorable situation, and he could still revive the Han family, is there also a heavenly master like him to help? And erase your own traces from the history books?

At this time, Cen Shen had already realized Feng Changqing's concerns, so he hurriedly explained: "Lu Tianshi misunderstood, the concern of the marshal is not here, but he feels that if he does not ask Chang'an and the sage for such a big thing as the suppression of Tibet, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the sage." ”

Cen Shen didn't say the last half of the sentence, not to mention that you also killed Bian Lingcheng and Tian Zhen.

Killing the border and ordering Cheng to quell Tubo again, these two things spread to Chang'an, how can the sage not be suspicious? Do you want to do it? Can't tolerate the eunuchs I sent? Do you have to sneak a person to wipe out Tibet? What did you do when you destroyed Tibet? Is it greedy for money, or do you have other ideas?

Unless the saint saw Lu Tianshi speak or possess him, he would never believe it, so he would definitely put the account on Feng Changqing's head, and in his anger, he would most likely send Qin to take his life.

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoning also reacted, and said abruptly: "Anxi Xiang will go to Chang'an for thousands of miles, and when you invite the daylily to be cold, Feng Changqing, you just need to send troops, and Li Longji will go to the seat when the time comes, and if he has any grievances and anger, just rush to this seat, and this seat will bear all of them." ”

"Well, Feng Changqing strictly obeys the decree of Lu Tianshi." When Feng Changqing heard this, he also let go of his worries.

Since Lu Tianshi expressed his willingness to take on everything, he could rest assured that he would launch a battle to destroy Tubo.

In the final analysis, as a feudal town of the Tang Dynasty, it is really difficult to refuse the temptation of quelling Tubo, which is a great achievement that will go down in history, and it will be entered in Lingyan Pavilion after a hundred years.

At this time, Duan Xiushi suddenly stood up.
